PRELIMINARY PROXY STATEMENT FOR SPECIAL MEETING OF
VISTAS MEDIA ACQUISITION COMPANY INC.
AND PROSPECTUS FOR ORDINARY SHARES AND WARRANTS OF ANGHAMI INC.
SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED NOVEMBER 22, 2021

Vistas Media Acquisition Company Inc.
30 Wall Street, 8
th Floor
New York, New York 10005

Dear Vistas Media Acquisition Company Inc. Stockholders:

You are cordially invited to attend the special meeting of stockholders of Vistas Media Acquisition Company Inc., which we refer to as “we,” “us,” “our,” or “VMAC,” at       , Eastern time, on                2021, at               . At the special meeting of stockholders, our stockholders will be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal, which we refer to as the “Business Combination Proposal,” to approve and adopt the business combination agreement, dated March 3, 2021 (as may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among VMAC, Anghami, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Anghami”), Anghami Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Anghami (“Pubco”), Anghami Vista 1, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Vistas Merger Sub”), and Anghami Vista 2, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Anghami Merger Sub”) and the Business Combination (as defined below) contemplated thereby.

As further described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, upon consummation of the Business Combination, among other things: (i) VMAC will merge with and into Vistas Merger Sub, with VMAC surviving the merger and continuing as a subsidiary of Pubco, with each outstanding share of VMAC converting into the right to receive one share of Pubco and each outstanding warrant of VMAC converting into warrants to purchase Pubco Ordinary Shares on the same terms (the “Vistas Merger”), and (ii) Anghami will merge with and into Anghami Merger Sub, with Anghami surviving the merger and continuing as a subsidiary of Pubco and Anghami’s shareholders receiving Pubco Ordinary Shares (the “Anghami Merger” and together with the Vistas Merger, the “Merger”). Upon consummation of the Business Combination, Anghami and VMAC will continue to exist as wholly-owned subsidiaries of Pubco. Stockholders of VMAC will receive a right to receive one share of Pubco Ordinary shares for each share of VMAC Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Vistas Merger Effective Time. Anghami Shareholders will receive the Per Shareholder Consideration, as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. Pubco is expected to issue an aggregate of 31,500,075 Pubco Ordinary Shares upon consummation of the Merger (assuming no redemptions of VMAC Class A Common Stock), which may be subject to adjustment based the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, including due to the allocation of consideration between stock consideration and cash consideration pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement and redemptions of VMAC Class A Common Stock.

In connection with the Business Combination, VMAC has obtained commitments from institutional investors (each a “Subscriber”) to purchase at least 4,000,000 shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share in a private placement, which will be converted into Pubco Ordinary Shares in connection with the Closing (the “PIPE Shares”).

VMAC’s Class A common stock, units and warrants are currently listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbols “VMAC,” “VMACU” and “VMACW,” respectively. Pubco intends to apply to list the Pubco Ordinary Shares and certain Pubco Warrants on Nasdaq in connection with the Closing. We cannot assure you that the Pubco Ordinary Shares or the Pubco Warrants will be approved for listing on Nasdaq.

Pubco is a “foreign private issuer” and an “emerging growth company” under the applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules and will be eligible for reduced public company disclosure requirements.

We are providing this proxy statement/prospectus and accompanying proxy cards to our stockholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the special meeting of stockholders and at any adjournments or postponements of the special meeting of stockholders. Whether or not you plan to attend the special meeting, we urge you to read this proxy statement/prospectus (and any documents incorporated into this proxy statement/prospectus by reference) carefully. Please pay particular attention to the section entitled “Risk Factors,” beginning on page 43.

Our board of directors has unanimously approved and adopted the Business Combination Agreement and unanimously recommends that our stockholders vote FOR all of the proposals presented to our stockholders.

When you consider the board of directors’ recommendation of these proposals, you should keep in mind that certain of our directors and our officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a stockholder. See the section entitled “The Business Combination — Interests of VMAC’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination.

On behalf of our board of directors, I thank you for your support and look forward to the successful completion of the Business Combination.

 

Sincerely,

   

 

          , 2021

NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON
          , 2021

To the Stockholders of Vistas Media Acquisition Company Inc.:

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a special meeting of stockholders (the “special meeting of stockholders”) of Vistas Media Acquisition Company Inc., a Delaware corporation (“VMAC”), will be held on           , 2021, at           , Eastern time, at           . You are cordially invited to attend the special meeting of stockholders for the following purposes:

(1)    The Business Combination Proposal: to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve and adopt the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of March 3, 2021, as may be amended, (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among VMAC, Anghami, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Anghami”), Anghami Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Anghami (“Pubco”), Anghami Vista 1, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Vistas Merger Sub”), and Anghami Vista 2, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Anghami Merger Sub”), and the transactions contemplated therein, including the following:

•        VMAC will merge with and into Vistas Merger Sub, with VMAC continuing as the surviving company (the “Vistas Merger”), as a result of which Vistas Merger Sub will cease to exist;

•        Anghami will merge with and into Anghami Merger Sub, with Anghami continuing as the surviving company (the “Anghami Merger”) as a result of which Anghami Merger Sub will cease to exist;

•        each outstanding share of VMAC Common Stock will be exchanged for one Pubco Ordinary Share and the Anghami ordinary shares will be converted into a right to receive cash and Pubco Ordinary Shares in the amounts and pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement;

•        each issued and outstanding warrant of VMAC will cease to represent a right to acquire shares of VMAC Common Stock and will instead represent the right to acquire the same number of Pubco Ordinary Shares, at the same exercise price and on the same terms as in effect immediately prior to the Closing; and

•        following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, including Vistas Merger and Anghami Merger, each of VMAC and Anghami are direct wholly-owned subsidiaries of Pubco (the “Business Combination”).

(2)    The Nasdaq Proposal: to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve, for purposes of complying with applicable listing rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq Listing Rules”), the issuance of more than 20% of the current total issued and outstanding shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock (the “Nasdaq Proposal”) to the Subscribers of the PIPE Shares and to SHUAA for services rendered in connection with the Business Combination; and

(3)    The Stockholder Adjournment Proposal: to consider and vote upon a proposal to adjourn the special meeting of stockholders to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the special meeting of stockholders, there are not sufficient votes to approve one or more proposals presented to stockholders for vote or the holders of VMAC’s Class A Common Stock (the “Public Stockholders”) have elected to redeem an amount of VMAC Class A Common Stock such that the minimum available cash condition to the obligation to closing of the Business Combination (as described below) would not be satisfied (the “Stockholder Adjournment Proposal”).

 

Table of Contents

Only holders of record of our common stock at the close of business on November 4, 2021 are entitled to notice of the special meeting of stockholders and to vote at the special meeting of stockholders and any adjournments or postponements of the special meeting of stockholders. A complete list of our stockholders of record entitled to vote at the special meeting of stockholders will be available for ten days before the special meeting of stockholders (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network or (ii) at our principal executive offices for inspection by stockholders during ordinary business hours for any purpose germane to the special meeting of stockholders.

Pursuant to VMAC’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation (“the VMAC Charter”), we are providing the Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the trust account which holds the proceeds of our initial public offering as of two business days prior to the consummation of the business combination contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination”), including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our franchise and income taxes, upon the consummation of the Business Combination. For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the trust account of approximately $102,074,080.46 on November 18, 2021, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.207.

The Public Stockholders may elect to redeem their shares even if they vote for the Business Combination Proposal and any of the other proposals presented. A Public Stockholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming his, her or its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the Offering Shares. Holders of our outstanding warrants to purchase shares of our VMAC Class A Common Stock do not have redemption rights with respect to such warrants in connection with the Business Combination. All of the holders of the VMAC Class B Common Stock have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their VMAC Class B Common Stock. The VMAC Class B Common Stock will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price. Currently, Vistas Media Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”) owns approximately 15.5% of our issued and outstanding common stock, consisting of 10% of the VMAC Class B Common Stock. VMAC’s Sponsor, officers, directors and Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote their VMAC Class B Common Stock, which represent approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding common stock of VMAC as of November 4, 2021, and any shares of VMAC common stock acquired during or after our initial public offering in favor of the Business Combination Proposal.

The Business Combination Proposal will be consummated only by an affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of all then outstanding shares of VMAC Common Stock entitled to vote thereon at the special meeting of stockholders. We have no specified maximum redemption threshold under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. It is a condition to closing under the Business Combination Agreement, however, that VMAC has, in the aggregate, cash (held both in and outside of the trust account) equal to or greater than the sum of $40 million. If redemptions by VMAC’s public stockholders cause VMAC to be unable to meet this closing condition, then Anghami will not be required to consummate the Business Combination, although it may, in its sole discretion, waive this condition. In the event that Anghami waives this condition, VMAC does not intend to seek additional stockholder approval or to extend the time period in which its public stockholders can exercise their redemption rights. In no event, however, will VMAC redeem VMAC Class A Common Stock in an amount that would cause VMAC’s net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001.

Your vote is very important, regardless of the number of shares you own. Please vote as soon as possible to ensure that your vote is counted, regardless of whether you expect to attend the special meeting of stockholders. Please complete, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. You may also submit a proxy by telephone or via the internet by following the instructions printed on your proxy card. If you are a holder of record of VMAC’s class A common stock, you may also cast your vote virtually at the special meeting.

If you hold your shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you will need to follow the instructions provided to you by your bank, broker or other nominee to ensure that your shares are represented and voted at the special meeting. A failure to vote your shares will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the Nasdaq Proposal or the Stockholder Adjournment Proposal.

 

Table of Contents

If you sign and return your proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your proxy will be voted in favor of each of the proposals presented at the special meeting. If you fail to return your proxy card or fail to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote, and do not attend the special meeting in person, the effect will be that your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the special meeting of stockholders and, if a quorum is present, will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal but will have no effect on the other proposals.

Your attention is directed to the proxy statement/prospectus accompanying this notice (including the financial statements and annexes attached thereto) for a more complete description of the proposed Business Combination and related transactions and each of our proposals. We encourage you to read this proxy statement/prospectus carefully. The special meeting will be completely virtual. There will be no physical meeting location and the special meeting will only be conducted via live webcast at the following address: https://www.cstproxy.com/vmac/2021. If you have any questions or need assistance voting your shares, please call our proxy solicitor, Morrow Sodali LLC, at (800) 662-5200, and banks and brokers may reach Morrow Sodali LLC, at (203) 658-9400, or by email at VMAC.info@investor.morrowsodali.com.

Stockholders are urged to read carefully this entire proxy statement/prospectus, including the financial statements and annexes attached hereto and the other documents referred to herein.

Questions and Answers About the Special Meeting of VMAC’s Stockholders and the Related Proposals

Q.     Why am I receiving this proxy statement/prospectus?

A.     VMAC has entered into the Business Combination Agreement with Pubco, Vistas Merger Sub, Anghami and Anghami Merger Sub, which provides for the Business Combination in which, among other transactions, each of Anghami and VMAC will become a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco. A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A.

As a result of the Business Combination: (i) the holders of all shares of VMAC Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Vistas Merger Effective Time will receive one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable Pubco Ordinary Share in exchange for each share of VMAC Common Stock held by them; and (ii) all Anghami Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Anghami Merger Effective Time will be exchanged for a certain number of Pubco Ordinary Shares, which is the Stock Consideration, which amount is currently expected to be approximately 14,185,075 (assuming no redemptions). This may be adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. Please see the sections entitled “The Business Combination Agreement — Ownership of the Combined Company Upon Completion of the Business Combination” and “Selected Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” for further information.

VMAC stockholders are being asked to consider and vote upon the Business Combination Proposal to approve the adoption of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination, among other proposals at a special stockholder meeting.

Q.     What matters will stockholders consider at the special meeting of stockholders?

A.     At the VMAC special meeting of stockholders, VMAC will ask its stockholders to vote in favor of the following proposals:

The Business Combination Proposal — a proposal to approve and adopt the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination.

The Nasdaq Proposal — a proposal to approve the issuance of more than 20% of the current total issued and outstanding shares of VMAC Common Stock to the Subscribers of the PIPE Shares, for purposes of complying with the applicable listing rules of Nasdaq.

The Stockholder Adjournment Proposal — a proposal to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the special meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve one or more proposals presented to stockholders for vote or Public Stockholders have elected to redeem an amount of Public Shares such that the minimum available cash condition to the obligation to closing of the Business Combination would not be satisfied.

Q.     Are any of the proposals conditioned on one another?

A.     The Nasdaq Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal. The Stockholder Adjournment Proposal does not require the approval of the Business Combination Proposal and Business Combination to be effective. It is important to note that in the event that the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, then VMAC will not consummate the Business Combination. If VMAC does not consummate the Business Combination and fails to complete an initial business combination by February 11, 2022 (the deadline after use of the second of two three-month extensions permitted under VMAC’s governing documents), or amend the VMAC Charter to extend the date by which VMAC must consummate an initial business combination, VMAC will be required to dissolve and liquidate.

Q.     What will happen in the Business Combination?

A.     Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, each of the following transactions will occur:

•        VMAC and Vistas Merger Sub will consummate the Vistas Merger;

•        Anghami and Anghami Merger Sub will consummate the Anghami Merger;

9

Table of Contents

•        each outstanding share of VMAC Common Stock will be exchanged for one Pubco Ordinary Share;

•        each issued and outstanding warrant of VMAC will cease to represent a right to acquire shares of VMAC Common Stock and will instead represent the right to acquire the same number of Pubco Ordinary Shares, at the same exercise price and on the same terms as in effect immediately prior to the Closing;

•        all Anghami Ordinary Shares will be exchanged for a certain number of Pubco Ordinary Shares, which is the Stock Consideration, which amount is currently expected to be approximately 14,185,075 (assuming no redemptions), and which may be adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement; and

•        following the Vistas Merger and Anghami Merger, each of VMAC and Anghami shall become direct wholly-owned subsidiaries of Pubco.

Q.     Why is VMAC proposing the Business Combination Proposal?

A.     VMAC was organized for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. VMAC is not limited to any particular industry or sector.

VMAC received $103,450,000 from its IPO and sale of the Private Placement Units and Private Placement Warrants, of which $100,000,000 was placed into the Trust Account immediately following the IPO. In accordance with the VMAC Charter, the funds held in the Trust Account will be released upon the consummation of the Business Combination. See the question entitled “What happens to the funds held in the Trust Account upon consummation of the Business Combination?

There currently are 12,830,000 shares of VMAC Common Stock issued and outstanding, consisting of 10,000,000 shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock originally sold as part of the VMAC Units in VMAC’s IPO, 2,500,000 VMAC Class B Common Stock that were issued to the Initial Stockholders prior to VMAC’s IPO, and 295,000 shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock underlying Private Placement Units and 35,000 Representative Shares. In addition, there currently are 11,295,000 VMAC Warrants issued and outstanding, including 10,000,000 Public Warrants and 500,000 Private Placement Warrants that were sold by VMAC to the Sponsor in a private sale simultaneously with VMAC’s IPO, 500,000 Representative Warrants and 295,000 VMAC Warrants underlying the Private Placement Units. Each whole VMAC Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of VMAC Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share and the Representative Warrants entitle the holders thereof to purchase one share of VMAC Class A Common Stock at a price of $12.00 per share. The 295,000 Private Placement Units issued and outstanding, of which 220,000 Private Placement Units were issued to the Sponsor and 75,000 Private Placement Units were issued to I-Bankers. Each Private Placement Unit is comprised of one VMAC Class A Common Stock and one Private Placement Warrant exercisable for one share of VMAC Class A Common Stock at $11.50 per share. The VMAC Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants underlying the Private Placement Units will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of VMAC’s initial business combination, and expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, five years after the completion of VMAC’s initial business combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The Private Placement Warrants are non-redeemable so long as they are held by their initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. There are no shares of VMAC preferred stock issued and outstanding.

Under the VMAC Charter, VMAC must provide all holders of Public Shares with the opportunity to have their Public Shares redeemed upon the consummation of VMAC’s initial business combination either in conjunction with a tender offer or in conjunction with a stockholder vote.

Q.     Why is VMAC proposing the Nasdaq Proposal?

A.     VMAC is proposing the Nasdaq Proposal in order to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635(a), (b) and (d), which require stockholder approval of the issuance of securities in certain transactions that result in (1) the issuance of 20% or more of the voting power outstanding or shares of common stock outstanding before issuance of securities, (2) the issuance or potential issuance will result in a change of control of the registrant or (3) the sale or issuance of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) at a price that is less than the lower of (i) the closing price immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement or (ii) the average closing price of the common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement if the number of shares of common stock to be issued is

10

Table of Contents

or may be equal to 20% or more of the common stock, or 20% or more of the voting power, outstanding before the issuance. VMAC anticipates that the 4,000,000 shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreements in the PIPE, which number may increase if the PIPE is oversubscribed prior to Closing, will (1) constitute more than 20% of the VMAC Class A Common Stock then outstanding, (2) constitute a change of control of the registrant and (3) be sold for a purchase price of $10.00 per share of VMAC Class A Common Stock, which will be less than the lower of (i) the closing price immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement or (ii) the average closing price of the common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement. As a result, VMAC is required to obtain stockholder approval of such issuances pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635(a), (b) and (d). For more information, see the section entitled “VMAC Stockholder Proposal No. 2 — The Nasdaq Proposal.” The Nasdaq Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal.

Q.     Who is Anghami?

A.      Founded in 2012, Anghami is a music application and platform that offers listeners in 16 countries in the MENA Region Arabic and international music to stream and download. Anghami is currently the leading regional digital music entertainment technology platform in the MENA Operating Area, with the largest catalog, offering approximately 57 million songs to more than 70 million registered users as of December 31, 2020, 1.4 million paid subscribers and 18.3 million active users, with more than 9.0 billion streams per year in 2020.

Q.     What equity stake will current VMAC stockholders and Anghami Shareholders have in Pubco after the Closing?

A.     It is anticipated that, upon completion of the Business Combination, assuming no redemptions by VMAC’s existing stockholders, (i) VMAC’s existing stockholders, including the Sponsor, will own approximately 40.7% of the issued and outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares, including 2,500,000 shares held by the Initial Stockholders that will be subject to certain lock-up arrangements pursuant to the lock-up Agreement, (ii) Anghami’s existing shareholders will own approximately 45.0% of the issued and outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares and (iii) the Subscribers in the PIPE will own approximately 12.7% of the issued and outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares. Assuming maximum redemptions by VMAC’s existing stockholders, these ownership amounts would be as follows: (i) VMAC’s existing stockholders, including the Sponsor, will own approximately 12.9% of the issued and outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares, including 2,500,000 shares held by the Initial Stockholders that will be subject to certain lock-up arrangements pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement, (ii) Anghami’s existing shareholders will own approximately 69.7% of the issued and outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares and (iii) the Subscribers in the PIPE will own approximately 15.5% of the issued and outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares. These relative percentages assume that (i) the Initial Stockholders exchange all outstanding VMAC Class B Common Stock for Pubco Ordinary Shares upon completion of the Business Combination and (ii) no additional equity securities of VMAC are issued at or prior to Closing, other than the 4,000,000 shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock currently subscribed for and to be issued in connection with the PIPE and the 350,000 shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock to be issued to SHUAA for services rendered in connection with the Business Combination. If the actual facts are different than these assumptions, the percentage ownership retained by VMAC’s existing stockholders will be different. Certain figures included in this section have been rounded for ease of presentation and, as a result, percentages may not sum to 100%.

The following table illustrates the ownership levels in Pubco (excluding the impact of the shares underlying the Pubco Warrants) immediately after the Closing based on the assumptions described above:

(1)      Assumes that VMAC stockholders holding approximately 9,500,000 shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock exercise their redemption rights for approximately $95.05 million of funds in VMAC’s trust account. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.” The Company will provide its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their shares upon the completion of the Business Combination. However, in no event will the Company redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001.

Q.     Who will be the officers and directors of Pubco if the Business Combination is consummated?

A.     It is anticipated that, at the Closing, Pubco’s board of directors will be composed of eleven directors, including Edgard Maroun, Elias Habib, F. Jacob Cherian, Klaas Baks, Abhayanand Singh, Walid Samir Hanna, Kaswara Saria Alkhatib, Maha Al-Qattan, Jana Yamani, Jassim Alseddiqi and Wissam Moukahal. Pubco’s executive management team will be led by the current management of Anghami and F. Jacob Cherian. See the section entitled “Management of Pubco After the Business Combination” for additional information.

Q.     What conditions must be satisfied to complete the Business Combination?

A.     There are a number of closing conditions in the Business Combination Agreement, including that VMAC’s stockholders have approved and adopted the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination. For a summary of the conditions that must be satisfied or waived prior to completion of the Business Combination, please see the section entitled “The Business Combination Agreement.”

Q.     What happens if I sell my shares of VMAC Common Stock before the special meeting of stockholders?

A.     The record date for the special meeting of stockholders will be earlier than the date that the Business Combination is expected to be completed. If you transfer your shares of VMAC Common Stock after the record date, but before the special meeting of stockholders, unless the transferee obtains from you a proxy to vote those shares, you will retain your right to vote at the special meeting of stockholders. However, you will not be entitled to receive any Pubco Ordinary Shares following the Closing because only VMAC’s stockholders on the date of the Closing will be entitled to receive Pubco Ordinary Shares in connection with the Closing.

Q.     What vote is required to approve the proposals presented at the special meeting of stockholders?

A.     The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of all then outstanding shares of VMAC Common Stock entitled to vote thereon at the special

12

Table of Contents

meeting of stockholders. Accordingly, a VMAC stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the special meeting of stockholders, or an abstention from voting, will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal.

The approval of each of the Nasdaq Proposal and the Stockholder Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of VMAC Common Stock that are voted thereon at the special meeting of stockholders. Accordingly, a VMAC stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the special meeting of stockholders, or an abstention from voting, will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on the Nasdaq Proposal or the Stockholder Adjournment Proposal.

Q.     May VMAC, the Sponsor or VMAC’s directors, officers or advisors, or their affiliates, purchase shares in connection with the Business Combination?

A.     In connection with the stockholder vote to approve the proposed Business Combination, VMAC may privately negotiate transactions to purchase shares prior to the Closing from stockholders who would have otherwise elected to have their shares redeemed in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules for a per-share pro rata portion of the Trust Account without the prior written consent of Anghami. None of the Sponsor or VMAC’s directors, officers or advisors, or their respective affiliates, will make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller. Such a purchase would include a contractual acknowledgement that such stockholder, although still the record holder of such shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that the Sponsor or VMAC’s directors, officers or advisors, or their affiliates, purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from Public Stockholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling stockholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. Any such privately negotiated purchases may be effected at purchase prices that are in excess of the per-share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. The purpose of these purchases would be to increase the amount of cash available to VMAC for use in the Business Combination.

Q.     Will VMAC or Pubco issue additional equity securities in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination?

A.     Pubco or VMAC may enter into equity financings in connection with the proposed Business Combination with their respective affiliates or any third parties if VMAC determines that the issuance of additional equity is necessary or desirable in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. The purposes of any such financings may include increasing the likelihood of VMAC meeting the minimum available cash condition to consummation of the Business Combination. Any equity issuances could result in dilution of the relative ownership interest of the non-redeeming Public Stockholders or the former equity holders of Anghami. In connection with the Business Combination, VMAC has obtained commitments from the Subscribers to purchase $40 million in shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock, which will be converted into Pubco Ordinary Shares in connection with the Closing (the “PIPE Shares”), at a purchase price of $10.00 per share.

Q.     How many votes do I have at the special meeting of stockholders?

A.     VMAC’s stockholders are entitled to one vote at the special meeting for each share of VMAC Common Stock held of record as of the record date. As of the close of business on the record date, there were 12,830,000 outstanding shares of VMAC Common Stock.

Q.     How will the VMAC Sponsor, directors and officers vote?

A.     In connection with VMAC’s IPO, VMAC entered into agreements with VMAC’s Sponsor, officers and directors, pursuant to which each agreed to vote their VMAC Class B Common Stock and any other shares acquired during and after the IPO in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. Currently, the Sponsor holds approximately 15.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of VMAC Common Stock. In connection with the signing of the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor, VMAC’s officers and directors and its Initial Stockholders, have agreed, pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement, to vote their VMAC Class B Common Stock, which represents 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of VMAC Common Stock, in favor of the Business Combination.

Table of Contents

Q.     What interests do VMAC’s current officers and directors have in the Business Combination?

A.      In considering the recommendation of our board to vote in favor of the Business Combination, stockholders should be aware that, aside from their interests as stockholders, the Sponsor and certain of VMAC’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of other stockholders generally. VMAC’s directors were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating the Business Combination, in recommending to stockholders that they approve the Business Combination and in agreeing to vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination. Stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Business Combination. These interests include, among other things:

•        If the Business Combination with Anghami or another business combination is not consummated by February 11, 2022 (or such later date that may be approved by VMAC’s stockholders), VMAC will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding VMAC public shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the Founder Shares held by the Sponsor and VMAC’s directors and officers, which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to the IPO, would be worthless because the holders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. Such shares had an aggregate market value of $25,350,000 based upon the closing price of $10.14 per share on Nasdaq on November 4, 2021. On the other hand, if the Business Combination is consummated, each outstanding share of VMAC Common Stock will be converted into the right to receive one share of Pubco pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement.

•        The Sponsor purchased 500,000 Private Placement Warrants from VMAC for $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant. This purchase took place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO. All of the proceeds VMAC received from these purchases were placed in the trust account. Such Private Placement Warrants had an aggregate market value of $465,000 based upon the closing price of $0.93 per warrant on Nasdaq on November 4, 2021. The VMAC Class A Common Stock underlying the Private Placement Warrants had an aggregate market value of $5,070,000 based upon the closing price of $10.14 per share on Nasdaq on November 4, 2021. The Private Placement Warrants and VMAC Class A Common Stock underlying the Private Placement Warrants will become worthless if VMAC does not consummate a business combination by February 11, 2022 (or such later date that may be approved by VMAC’s stockholders). On the other hand, if the Business Combination is consummated, each outstanding warrant will be converted into the right to acquire the same number of Pubco Ordinary Shares, at the same exercise price and on the same terms as in effect immediately prior to the Closing.

•        VMAC’s Initial Stockholders and owners of Private Placement Warrants paid significantly less for their shares and warrants than other current stockholders and holders of warrants paid for their shares and warrants purchased in the IPO or in the open market thereafter. Prior to the consummation of the IPO, Sponsor purchased 2,875,000 Founder Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.009 per share. Of these Founder Shares, 375,000 were forfeited by our Sponsor due to the underwriters’ not exercising the over-allotment option in connection with the IPO. Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, VMAC consummated the private sale of 500,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor, each of which entitles the holder to purchase one share of VMAC Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, at a price of $1.00 per warrant. Each outstanding Pubco Ordinary Share will have a target value at the time of the Business Combination of $10.00. If the Business Combination is consummated, based on the difference in the purchase price of $0.009 per share that the Sponsor paid for the Founder Shares as compared to the purchase price of $10.00 per Unit sold in the IPO, these initial stockholders and holders of Private Placement Warrants will be able, at a lower price per Pubco Ordinary Share, to recognize a greater return on their investment than stockholders or holders of warrants that purchased VMAC Common Stock or VMAC warrants in the IPO or in the open market thereafter. Furthermore, the Sponsor may earn a positive rate of return even if the price of the Pubco Ordinary Shares after the Closing falls below the price initially paid for the units in the IPO and the VMAC Stockholders may experience a negative rate of return following the Closing of the Business Combination.

•        If VMAC is unable to complete a business combination within the required time period, the aggregate dollar amount of non-reimbursable funds is $27,065,000, comprised of (a) $25,350,000 representing the market value of Founder Shares, (b) $465,000 representing the market value of Private Placement

Table of Contents

Warrants and (c) $1,250,000 of unpaid expenses incurred by the Sponsor and VMAC’s officers and directors and their affiliates. Certain VMAC directors and executive officers have indirect economic interests in the Private Placement Warrants and in the Founder Shares.

•        The Sponsor has agreed not to redeem any shares of VMAC Common Stock held by it in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination.

•        The VMAC Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if VMAC fails to complete an initial business combination by February 11, 2022 (or such later date that may be approved by VMAC’s stockholders).

•        The potential continuation of certain of VMAC’s directors and officers as directors or officers of Pubco.

•        The continued indemnification of current directors and officers of VMAC and the continuation of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination.

•        The Sponsor has agreed to loan VMAC up to $300,000 in the aggregate, to be used for a portion of the expenses of the Public Offering. The Sponsor also agreed to loan an additional $1,000,000 in connection with its funding of the extension payment to extend the period of time that VMAC has to consummate its initial business combination by three months to November 11, 2021. The loans are non-interest bearing and unsecured.

•        VMAC’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains a waiver of the corporate opportunity doctrine, and there could have been business combination targets that have been appropriate for a combination with VMAC but were not offered due to a VMAC director’s duties to another entity. VMAC does not believe that the waiver of the corporate opportunity doctrine in its second amended and restated certificate of incorporation interfered with its ability to identify an acquisition target.

Q.     What interests do the Subscribers of the PIPE Shares have in the Business Combination?

A.     In connection with the Business Combination, VMAC entered into separate subscription agreements with each Subscriber, pursuant to which the Subscribers agreed to purchase, and VMAC agreed to sell to the Subscribers, an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock, for a fixed purchase price of $10.00 per share, and an aggregate purchase price of $40,000,000. Such shares have an aggregate market value of approximately $40,560,000 based on the closing price of VMAC Class A Common Stock of $10.14 on Nasdaq on November 4, 2021, the record date for the special meeting of stockholders.

Such shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock will automatically be exchanged for the right to receive Pubco Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis immediately prior to the Vistas Merger Effective Time. These PIPE Shares will not be outstanding on the record date and will not be entitled to vote at the special meeting of stockholders. The issuance of the PIPE Shares pursuant to the Subscription Agreements is contingent upon, among other customary closing conditions, the substantially concurrent consummation of the Business Combination.

VMAC anticipates that the 4,000,000 shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreements in the PIPE will (1) constitute more than 20% of the VMAC Class A Common Stock then outstanding, (2) constitute a change of control of the registrant and (3) be sold for a purchase price of $10.00 per share of VMAC Class A Common Stock, which will be less than the lower of (i) the closing price immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement or (ii) the average closing price of the common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement. As a result, VMAC is required to obtain stockholder approval of such issuances pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rules. For more information, see the section entitled “VMAC Stockholder Proposal No. 2 — The Nasdaq Proposal.

In addition to the above, SHUAA will receive Service Warrants and 350,000 shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock upon consummation of the Business Combination for services rendered in connection with the Business Combination.

In comparison, Public Stockholders acquired VMAC Units in connection with the IPO at a $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of VMAC Class A Common Stock and one VMAC Warrant. The Sponsor and certain of VMAC’s officers and directors have agreed to purchase 1,000,000 shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock pursuant to a Subscription Agreement on substantially the same terms and conditions as the other PIPE Investors.

Q.     Did VMAC’s board of directors obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination?

A.     VMAC’s board of directors did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with its determination to approve the Business Combination. VMAC’s board of directors believes that based upon the financial skills and background of its directors, it was qualified to conclude that the Business Combination was fair from a financial perspective to its stockholders. The board of directors also determined, without seeking a valuation from a financial advisor, that Anghami’s fair market value was at least 80% of VMAC’s net assets (excluding deferred underwriting discounts and commissions). Accordingly, investors will be relying on the judgment of VMAC’s board of directors as described above in valuing the Anghami’s business and assuming the risk that the board of directors may not have properly valued such business.

Q.     What happens if the Business Combination Proposal is not approved?

A.     If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved and VMAC does not consummate a business combination by February 11, 2022 (the deadline after use of the second of two three-month extensions permitted under VMAC’s governing documents), or amend the VMAC Charter to extend the date by which VMAC must consummate an initial business combination, VMAC will be required to dissolve and liquidate the Trust Account.

Q.     Do I have redemption rights?

A.      If you are a holder of Public Shares, you may redeem your Public Shares for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account, which holds the proceeds of VMAC’s IPO, as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to VMAC to pay its franchise and income taxes, upon the consummation of the Business Combination. The per-share amount VMAC will distribute to holders who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions VMAC will pay to the underwriters of its IPO if the Business Combination is consummated. Holders of the outstanding Public Warrants do not have redemption rights with respect to such warrants in connection with the Business Combination. All of the Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their VMAC Class B Common Stock in connection with the completion of VMAC’s initial business combination. The VMAC Class B Common Stock will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price. For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the trust account of approximately $102,074,080.46 on November 18, 2021, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.207. This is greater than the $10.00 IPO price of the VMAC Units. Additionally, Public Shares properly tendered for redemption will only be redeemed if the Business Combination is consummated; otherwise, holders of such shares will only be entitled to a pro rata portion of the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to VMAC to pay franchise and income taxes (less $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), in connection with the liquidation of the Trust Account.

Q.     Is there a limit on the number of shares I may redeem?

A.     A Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to 20% or more of the Public Shares. Accordingly, all shares in excess of 20% of the Public Shares owned by a holder will not be redeemed. On the other hand, a Public Stockholder who holds less than 20% of the Public Shares may redeem all of the Public Shares held by him or her for cash.

Q.     Will how I vote affect my ability to exercise redemption rights?

A.     No. You may exercise your redemption rights whether you vote your Public Shares for or against the Business Combination Proposal or any other proposal described in this proxy statement/prospectus, or do not vote your shares. As a result, the Business Combination Proposal and the Nasdaq Proposal can be approved by stockholders who will redeem their Public Shares and no longer remain stockholders, leaving stockholders who choose not to redeem their Public Shares holding shares in a company with a less liquid trading market, fewer stockholders, less cash and the potential inability to meet the listing standards of Nasdaq.

It is a condition to closing under the Business Combination Agreement, however, that VMAC has, in the aggregate, cash (held both in and outside of the Trust Account) that is equal to or greater than $40 million, without any breach or inaccuracy of the representations or warranties or failure to perform any of the

16

Table of Contents

covenants set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. If redemptions by Public Stockholders cause VMAC to be unable to meet this closing condition, then Anghami will not be required to consummate the Business Combination, although it may, in its sole discretion, waive this condition.

Q.     How do I exercise my redemption rights?

A.     In order to exercise your redemption rights, you must, prior to 4:30 p.m. Eastern time on             , 2021 (two business days before the special meeting), (i) submit a written request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, VMAC’s transfer agent, that VMAC redeem your Public Shares for cash, and (ii) deliver your stock to VMAC’s transfer agent physically or electronically through the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). The address of VMAC’s transfer agent is listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below. VMAC requests that any requests for redemption include the identity as to the beneficial owner making such request. Electronic delivery of your stock generally will be faster than delivery of physical stock certificates.

A physical stock certificate will not be needed if your stock is delivered to VMAC’s transfer agent electronically. In order to obtain a physical stock certificate, a stockholder’s broker and/or clearing broker, DTC and VMAC’s transfer agent will need to act to facilitate the request. It is VMAC’s understanding that stockholders should generally allot at least one week to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, because VMAC does not have any control over this process or over the brokers or DTC, it may take significantly longer than one week to obtain a physical stock certificate. If it takes longer than anticipated to obtain a physical certificate, stockholders who wish to redeem their shares may be unable to obtain physical certificates by the deadline for exercising their redemption rights and thus will be unable to redeem their shares.

Any demand for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests and thereafter, with VMAC’s consent, until the vote is taken with respect to the Business Combination. If you delivered your shares for redemption to VMAC’s transfer agent and decide within the required timeframe not to exercise your redemption rights, you may request that VMAC’s transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). Such requests may be made by contacting VMAC’s transfer agent at the phone number or address listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?”

Q.     What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising my redemption rights?

A.     VMAC stockholders who exercise their redemption rights to receive cash from the Trust Account in exchange for their Public Shares generally will be required to treat the transaction as a sale of such shares and recognize gain or loss upon the redemption in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of cash received and the tax basis of the shares of VMAC Common Stock redeemed. Such gain or loss should be treated as capital gain or loss if such shares were held as a capital asset on the date of the redemption. A stockholder’s tax basis in his, her or its shares of VMAC Common Stock generally will equal the cost of such shares. A stockholder who purchased VMAC Units will have to allocate the cost between the shares of VMAC Common Stock or VMAC Warrants comprising the VMAC Units based on their relative fair market values at the time of the purchase. Please see the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

Q:     If I hold VMAC Warrants, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my warrants?

A:     No. There are no redemption rights with respect to the VMAC Warrants.

Q:     Do I have appraisal rights if I object to the proposed Business Combination?

A:     No. There are no appraisal rights available to holders of shares of VMAC Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination.

Q:     What happens to the funds held in the Trust Account upon consummation of the Business Combination?

A:     If the Business Combination is consummated, the funds held in the Trust Account will be released to pay (i) VMAC stockholders who properly exercise their redemption rights and (ii) cash consideration pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. Any additional funds available for release from the Trust Account will be used for general corporate purposes of Pubco following the Business Combination.

Table of Contents

Q:     What happens if the Business Combination is not consummated?

A:     There are certain circumstances under which the Business Combination Agreement may be terminated. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Agreement” for information regarding the parties’ specific termination rights.

If, as a result of the termination of the Business Combination Agreement or otherwise, VMAC is unable to complete a business combination within one year of its IPO or within 18 months of such offering after two extensions of three months each, or amend the VMAC Charter to extend the date by which VMAC must consummate an initial business combination, the VMAC Charter provides that VMAC will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to VMAC to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (B) the total number of then outstanding Offering Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the Public Stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of VMAC’s remaining stockholders and VMAC’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to VMAC’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. See the sections entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to VMAC and the Business Combination — VMAC may not be able to complete its initial business combination prior to February 11, 2022, in which case VMAC would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and VMAC would redeem its public shares and liquidate, in which case VMAC’s public stockholders may only receive $10.00 per share, or less than such amount in certain circumstances, and VMAC’s warrants will expire worthless.” And “— VMAC’s stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against VMAC to the extent of distributions received by them upon redemption of their shares.” Holders of VMAC Class B Common Stock have waived any right to any liquidation distribution with respect to those shares.

In the event of liquidation, there will be no distribution with respect to outstanding VMAC Warrants. Accordingly, the VMAC Warrants will expire worthless.

Q:     When is the Business Combination expected to be completed?

A:     It is currently anticipated that the Business Combination will be consummated promptly following the special meeting of stockholders, provided that all other conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination have been satisfied or waived.

For a description of the conditions to the completion of the Business Combination, see the section entitled “VMAC Stockholder Proposal No. 1— The Business Combination Proposal.”

Q:     What do I need to do now?

A:     You are urged to carefully read and consider the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the financial statements and annexes attached hereto, and to consider how the Business Combination will affect you as a stockholder. You should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement/prospectus on the enclosed proxy card or, if you hold your shares through a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, on the voting instruction form provided by the broker, bank or nominee.

Q:     How do I vote?

A:     If you were a holder of record of VMAC Common Stock on November 4, 2021, the record date for the special meeting of stockholders, you may vote with respect to the applicable proposals in person at the special meeting of stockholders or by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, your broker, bank or other nominee will send you separate instructions describing the procedure for voting your shares. If applicable, simply complete, sign and date your voting instruction card and return it in the postage-paid envelope provided to ensure that your vote is counted. Alternatively, you may vote by telephone or over the internet as instructed by your broker, bank or other nominee. If you wish to attend the special meeting of stockholders and vote in person, you must obtain a proxy from your broker, bank or nominee. Holders of VMAC Common Stock are encouraged to vote in advance of the special meeting of stockholders.

Q:     What will happen if I abstain from voting or fail to vote at the special meeting?

A:     At the special meeting of stockholders, VMAC will count a properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” with respect to a particular proposal as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. For purposes of approval, an abstention or failure to vote will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal and will have no effect on the Nasdaq Proposal or the Stockholder Adjournment Proposal. If you sign and return your proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your proxy will be voted in favor of each of the proposals presented at the special meeting.

Q:     What will happen if I sign and return my proxy card without indicating how I wish to vote?

A:     Signed and dated proxies received by VMAC without an indication of how the stockholder intends to vote on a proposal will be voted in favor of each proposal presented to the stockholders.

Q.     Do I need to attend the special meeting of stockholders to vote my shares?

A.     No. You are invited to attend the special meeting to vote on the proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus. However, you do not need to attend the special meeting of stockholders to vote your shares. Instead, you may submit your proxy by signing, dating and returning the applicable enclosed proxy card(s) in the pre-addressed postage-paid envelope. Your vote is important. VMAC encourages you to vote as soon as possible after carefully reading this proxy statement/prospectus.

Q.     If I am not going to attend the special meeting of stockholders virtually, should I return my proxy card instead?

A.     Yes. After carefully reading and considering the information contained in (and incorporated by reference into) this proxy statement/prospectus, please submit your proxy, as applicable, by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided.

Q.     If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker, bank or nominee automatically vote my shares for me?

A.     No. If your broker holds your shares in its name and you do not give the broker voting instructions, under the applicable stock exchange rules, your broker may not vote your shares on any of the proposals.

Q.     May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card?

A.     Yes. If you are a shareholder of record, you may change your vote by sending a later-dated, signed proxy card to Morrow Sodali LLC, at 470 West Avenue, Stamford, CT 06902, prior to the vote at the special meeting of stockholders, or attend the special meeting and vote virtually. You also may revoke your proxy by sending a notice of revocation to 470 West Avenue, Stamford, CT 06902, provided such revocation is received prior to the vote at the special meeting. If your shares are held in street name by a broker or other nominee, you must contact the broker or nominee to change your vote.

Q.     What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

A.     You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement/prospectus and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast your vote with respect to all of your shares.

Q.     What is the quorum requirement for the special meeting of stockholders?

A.     A quorum will be present at the special meeting of stockholders if a majority of the VMAC Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting is represented in person or by proxy. In the absence of a quorum, a majority of VMAC’s stockholders, present in person or represented by proxy, and voting thereon will have the power to adjourn the special meeting.

19

Table of Contents

Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or your broker, bank or other nominee submits one on your behalf) or if you vote in person at the special meeting of stockholders. Abstentions will be counted towards the quorum requirement. If there is no quorum, a majority of the shares represented by stockholders present at the special meeting or by proxy may authorize adjournment of the special meeting to another date.

Q.     What happens to VMAC Warrants I hold if I vote my shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock against approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the Nasdaq Proposal and validly exercise my redemption rights?

A.     Properly exercising your redemption rights as a VMAC stockholder does not result in either a vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal or any of the other proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus. If the Business Combination is completed, all of your VMAC Warrants will automatically convert into warrants to purchase Pubco Ordinary Shares as described in this proxy statement/prospectus. Regardless of how you vote, if the Business Combination is not completed, you will continue to hold your VMAC Warrants, and if VMAC does not otherwise consummate an initial business combination by February 11, 2022 (or such later date or such later date that may be approved by VMAC’s shareholders), or amend the VMAC Charter to extend the date by which VMAC must consummate an initial business combination, VMAC will be required to dissolve and liquidate, and your warrants will expire worthless. Such warrants have an aggregate market value of approximately $10,504,350, based on the closing price of VMAC Warrants of $0.93 on Nasdaq on November 4, 2021.

Q.     Who will solicit and pay the cost of soliciting proxies?

A.     VMAC will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the special meeting. VMAC has engaged Morrow Sodali LLC to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the special meeting. VMAC has agreed to pay Morrow Sodali LLC a fee of $27,500. VMAC will reimburse Morrow Sodali LLC for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will indemnify Morrow Sodali LLC and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses. VMAC also will reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of shares of VMAC Common Stock for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners of VMAC Common Stock and in obtaining voting instructions from those owners. VMAC’s directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies by telephone, by facsimile, by mail, on the Internet or in person. They will not be paid any additional amounts for soliciting proxies.

Upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, Pubco will report under the Exchange Act as a non-U.S. company with foreign private issuer status. Even after Pubco no longer qualifies as an emerging growth company, as long as Pubco continues to qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, Pubco will be exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies, including:

•        the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act;

•        the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file certain public reports of their stock ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time; and

On March 3, 2021, VMAC, Anghami, Pubco, Vistas Merger Sub and Anghami Merger Sub entered into the Business Combination Agreement pursuant to which, following the effectiveness of the transactions contemplated by the Vistas Merger and Anghami Merger, the parties will consummate the Business Combination and VMAC and Anghami will become direct wholly-owned subsidiaries of Pubco.

•        Anghami and Anghami Merger Sub will consummate the Anghami Merger, with Anghami being the surviving company and continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco;

•        each outstanding share of VMAC Common Stock will be exchanged for one Pubco Ordinary Share;

23

Table of Contents

•        each issued and outstanding VMAC Warrant will cease to represent a right to acquire shares of VMAC Common Stock and will instead represent the right to acquire the same number of Pubco Ordinary Shares, at the same exercise price and on the same terms as in effect immediately prior to the Closing (in addition, each issued and outstanding Representative Warrant will cease to represent a right to acquire shares of VMAC Common Stock and will instead represent the right to acquire the same number of Pubco Ordinary Shares, at the same exercise price and on the same terms as in effect immediately prior to the Closing);

•        all Anghami Ordinary Shares will be exchanged for a certain number of Pubco Ordinary Shares, which is the Stock Consideration, which amount is currently expected to be approximately 14,185,075 (assuming no redemptions), and which may be adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement; and

•        following the Vistas Merger and Anghami Merger, each of VMAC and Anghami will become direct wholly-owned subsidiaries of Pubco.

The Vistas Merger is to become effective by executing and filing a plan of merger the (“Vistas Plan of Merger”) and other related documents with the Registrar of the Companies of the Cayman Islands under the Companies Act.

The Anghami Merger is to become effective immediately following the Vistas Merger by the filing of a plan of merger (the “Anghami Plan of Merger”) with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands. The parties will hold the Closing of the Business Combination Agreement on the date of the effectiveness of the Merger, following the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent such waiver is permitted by applicable law) of the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at such time).

At the Vistas Merger Effective Time, immediately following the Class B Conversion, by virtue of the Vistas Merger and without any further action on the part of VMAC, Anghami, Pubco, Vistas Merger Sub or Anghami Merger Sub or the holders of any of the following securities:

•        immediately prior to the Vistas Merger Effective Time, every issued and outstanding VMAC Unit shall be automatically detached and the holder thereof shall be deemed to hold one share of VMAC Class A Common Stock and one VMAC Warrant in accordance with the terms of the applicable VMAC Unit;

•        each share of VMAC Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Vistas Merger Effective Time shall be automatically converted into the right to receive one Pubco Ordinary Share;

•        each share of VMAC Class B Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Vistas Merger Effective Time shall be automatically converted into the right to receive one Pubco Ordinary Share;

•        each share of capital stock of VMAC owned by VMAC as treasury shares immediately prior to the Vistas Merger Effective Time shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or payment therefor; and

•        each VMAC Warrant outstanding immediately prior to the Vistas Merger Effective Time shall be converted into one Pubco Warrant. Each Pubco Warrant shall have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the Warrant Agreement, except that they shall represent the right to acquire a Pubco Ordinary Share in lieu of a share of VMAC Class A Common Stock. In addition, each Representative Warrant immediately prior to the Vistas Merger Effective Time shall be converted into one Representative Pubco Warrant. Each Representative Pubco Warrant shall have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the Representative Warrant Agreement, except that it shall represent the right to acquire a Pubco Ordinary Share in lieu of a share of VMAC Class A Common Stock.

For more information, see the section entitled “The Business Combination Agreement — The Structure of the Business Combination.

Consideration to be Received in the Business Combination

The Stock Consideration payable to Anghami’s shareholders will be an amount of Pubco Ordinary Shares equal to (a) $180 million in enterprise value minus the cash consideration paid to such shareholders (if any), divided by (b) $10.00. Anghami shareholders will receive cash consideration only if the available cash (as further described below) exceeds $50,000,000, in which case the cash consideration will be calculated as the lesser of (i)(A) such available cash minus

24

Table of Contents

the outstanding indebtedness of Pubco for borrowed money with a maturity date of more than one year as of the Closing multiplied by (B) 0.3, or (ii) the available cash minus such indebtedness referred to in clause (i)(A) above minus $50,000,000. The available cash at Closing will be calculated by (i) adding the amount available to be released from the VMAC’s trust account, after taking into account redemptions by the VMAC’s stockholders, in addition to any cash or cash equivalents of the VMAC and the net proceeds of private placements of shares of the VMAC’s common stock to occur immediately prior to the Closing, for which the VMAC currently has commitments of $40,000,000 million, and (ii) subtracting transaction expenses of the VMAC and Anghami related to the Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the cash consideration payable to Anghami shareholders will be reduced, and shareholders will receive a proportional increase in Stock Consideration at a price of $10.00 per share, by the minimum amount necessary for Pubco to satisfy the “substantiality” test of Treasury Regulation 1.367(a)-3(c)(3)(iii), but if such “substantiality” test cannot be met if the cash consideration is reduced to zero (with the proportional increase in Stock Consideration) then no such reduction in cash consideration will be made.

For more information, see the section entitled “The Business Combination Agreement — Consideration to be Received in the Business Combination.

For more information about the Lock-Up Agreement, see the section entitled “Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination — Lock-Up Agreement.

Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination

In considering the recommendation of VMAC’s board of directors to vote in favor of the Business Combination, VMAC’s stockholders should be aware that, aside from their interests as stockholders, the Sponsor and VMAC’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of

28

Table of Contents

other stockholders and warrant holders generally. VMAC’s directors were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating the Business Combination, and in recommending to stockholders that they approve the Business Combination. Stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Business Combination. These interests include, among other things:

•        If the Business Combination with Anghami or another business combination is not consummated by February 11, 2022 (or such later date that may be approved by VMAC’s stockholders), VMAC will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding VMAC public shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the Founder Shares held by the Sponsor and VMAC’s directors and officers, which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to the IPO, would be worthless because the holders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. Such shares had an aggregate market value of $25,350,000 based upon the closing price of $10.14 per share on Nasdaq on November 4, 2021. On the other hand, if the Business Combination is consummated, each outstanding share of VMAC Common Stock will be converted into the right to receive one share of Pubco pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement.

•        The Sponsor purchased 500,000 Private Placement Warrants from VMAC for $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant. This purchase took place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO. All of the proceeds VMAC received from these purchases were placed in the trust account. Such Private Placement Warrants had an aggregate market value of $465,000 based upon the closing price of $0.93 per warrant on Nasdaq on November 4, 2021. The VMAC Class A Common Stock underlying the Private Placement Warrants had an aggregate market value of $5,070,000 based upon the closing price of $10.14 per share on Nasdaq on November 4, 2021. The Private Placement Warrants and VMAC Class A Common Stock underlying the Private Placement Warrants will become worthless if VMAC does not consummate a business combination by February 11, 2022 (or such later date that may be approved by VMAC’s stockholders). On the other hand, if the Business Combination is consummated, each outstanding warrant will be converted into the right to acquire the same number of Pubco Ordinary Shares, at the same exercise price and on the same terms as in effect immediately prior to the Closing.

•        VMAC’s Initial Stockholders and owners of Private Placement Warrants paid significantly less for their shares and warrants than other current stockholders and holders of warrants paid for their shares and warrants purchased in the IPO or in the open market thereafter. Prior to the consummation of the IPO, Sponsor purchased 2,875,000 Founder Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.009 per share. Of these Founder Shares, 375,000 were forfeited by our Sponsor due to the underwriters’ not exercising the over-allotment option in connection with the IPO. Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, VMAC consummated the private sale of 500,000 Private Placement Warrants to Sponsor, each of which entitles the holder to purchase one share of VMAC Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, at a price of $1.00 per warrant. Each outstanding Pubco Ordinary Share will have a target value at the time of the Business Combination of $10.00. If the Business Combination is consummated, based on the difference in the purchase price of $0.009 per share that the Sponsor paid for the Founder Shares, as compared to the purchase price of $10.00 per Unit sold in the IPO, these initial stockholders and holders of Private Placement Warrants will be able, at a lower price per Pubco Ordinary Share, to recognize a greater return on their investment than stockholders or holders of warrants that purchased VMAC Common Stock or VMAC warrants in the IPO or in the open market thereafter. Furthermore, the Sponsor may earn a positive rate of return even if the price of the Pubco Ordinary Shares after the Closing falls below the price initially paid for the units in the IPO and the VMAC Stockholders may experience a negative rate of return following the Closing of the Business Combination.

•        If VMAC is unable to complete a business combination within the required time period, the aggregate dollar amount of non-reimbursable funds is $27,065,000, comprised of (a) $25,350,000 representing the market value of Founder Shares, (b) $465,000 representing the market value of Private Placement Warrants and (c) $1,250,000 of unpaid expenses incurred by the Sponsor and VMAC’s officers and directors and their affiliates. Certain VMAC directors and executive officers have indirect economic interests in the Private Placement Warrants and in the Founder Shares.

•        The Sponsor has agreed not to redeem any shares of VMAC Common Stock held by it in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination,

•        The VMAC Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if VMAC fails to complete an initial business combination by February 11, 2022 (or such later date that may be approved by VMAC’s stockholders),

•        The potential continuation of certain of VMAC’s directors and officers as directors or officers of Pubco.

•        The continued indemnification of current directors and officers of VMAC and the continuation of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination.

•        The Sponsor has agreed to loan VMAC up to $300,000 in the aggregate, to be used for a portion of the expenses of the Public Offering. The Sponsor also agreed to loan an additional $1,000,000 in connection with its funding of the extension payment to extend the period of time that VMAC has to consummate its initial business combination by three months to November 11, 2021. The loans are non-interest bearing and unsecured.

•        VMAC’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains a waiver of the corporate opportunity doctrine, and there could have been business combination targets that have been appropriate for a combination with VMAC but were not offered due to a VMAC director’s duties to another entity. VMAC does not believe that the waiver of the corporate opportunity doctrine in its second amended and restated certificate of incorporation interfered with its ability to identify an acquisition target.

These interests may influence VMAC’s directors in making their recommendation to vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus. You should also read the section entitled “The Business Combination — Interests of VMAC’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination.

Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination

After careful consideration, VMAC’s board of directors recommends that VMAC’s stockholders vote “FOR” each proposal being submitted to a vote of the VMAC stockholders at the special meeting. For a description of VMAC’s reasons for the approval of the Business Combination and the recommendation of VMAC’s board of directors, see the section entitled “The Business Combination — VMAC’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination.

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to VMAC’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, any holders of Public Shares may demand that such shares be redeemed in exchange for a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to VMAC to pay its taxes, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. If demand is properly made and the Business Combination is consummated, these shares, immediately prior to the Business Combination, will cease to be outstanding and will represent only the right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account which holds the proceeds of VMAC’s IPO as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to VMAC to pay its taxes, upon the consummation of the Business Combination. For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the trust account of approximately $101,071,849.66 on September 21, 2021, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.107.

If you exercise your redemption rights, your shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock will cease to be outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination and will only represent the right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account. You will no longer own those shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you properly demand redemption. See the section entitled “The Special Meeting of VMAC Stockholders — Redemption Rights.

Impact of the Business Combination on Pubco’s Public Float

It is anticipated that, upon completion of the Business Combination, (i) VMAC’s existing stockholders, including the Sponsor, will own approximately 40.7% of the issued and outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares, including 2,500,000 shares held by the Initial Stockholders that will be subject to certain lock-up arrangements pursuant to the lock-up agreement (ii) Anghami’s existing shareholders will own approximately 45.0% of the issued and outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares and (iii) the Subscribers in the PIPE will own approximately 12.7% of the issued and outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares. These relative percentages assume (i) that none of VMAC’s existing Public Stockholders exercise their redemption rights, (ii) that the Initial Stockholders exchange all outstanding VMAC Class B Common Stock for Pubco Ordinary Shares upon completion of the Business Combination, and (iii) no additional equity securities of VMAC are issued at or prior to Closing, other than the 4,000,000 shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock currently subscribed for and to be issued in connection with the PIPE and the 350,000 shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock to be issued to SHUAA for services rendered in connection with the Business Combination. If the actual facts are different than these assumptions, the percentage ownership retained by VMAC’s existing stockholders will be different.

The following table illustrates the ownership levels in Pubco (excluding the impact of the shares underlying the Pubco Warrants) immediately after the Closing based on the assumptions described above:

Following the Business Combination

The following diagram shows the pro forma ownership percentages (excluding the impact of the shares underlying the Pubco Warrants) and structure of Pubco immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination.

Board of Directors of Pubco Following the Business Combination

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, Pubco’s board of directors will consist of eleven individuals allocated among three classes prior to Closing, with: (i) three directors designated by the VMAC, including at least two who qualify as independent directors under Nasdaq rules, with none appointed to the first class, two appointed to the second class and one appointed to the third class; (ii) six directors designated by Anghami, including at least three who qualify as independent directors under Nasdaq rules, with one appointed to the first class, two appointed to the second class, and three appointed to the third class; and (iii) two directors designated by SHUAA, both appointed to the first class and at least one of whom will qualify as an independent director under Nasdaq rules. In the event the number of directors on the board changes prior to the Closing, the rights to designate directors will be adjusted such that Anghami will retain the ability to designate a majority of the directors. Pubco is in the process of identifying other individuals who will be members of our board of directors, and will identify those individuals and provide details regarding these individuals.

Material Tax Consequences

For a detailed discussion of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences and Cayman Islands tax consequences of the Business Combination, see the sections entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” and “Material Cayman Islands Income Tax Considerations” in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Accounting Treatment

The exchange of Anghami’s shares for Pubco’s shares will be accounted for as a transaction under common control in accordance with IFRS. The exchange of VMAC’s shares for Pubco’s shares will be accounted for as a “reverse acquisition” in accordance with IFRS. Under this method of accounting, VMAC will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes.

This determination was based on the guidance provided in IFRS 3 (Business Combinations) and IFRS 10 (Consolidated Financial Statements) and was primarily based on the assumptions that Anghami’s operations will substantially comprise the ongoing operations of the Combined Company, Anghami’s designees are expected to comprise a majority of the governing body of the Combined Company, Anghami’s senior management will comprise the senior management of the Combined Company, and Anghami’s existing shareholders will be the largest group of shareholders of the Combined Company following the consummation of the Business Combination (Anghami’s existing shareholders are expected to represent between 45.0% (assuming a no-redemption scenario) to 69.7% (assuming the maximum redemption scenario) of the Combined Company).

Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the exchange of VMAC’s shares for Pubco shares will be treated as the equivalent of Pubco issuing shares for the net assets of VMAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. It has been determined that VMAC is not a business under IFRS, hence the transaction is accounted for within the scope of IFRS 2 (“share-based payment”).

In accordance with IFRS 2, the difference in the fair value of Pubco’s equity instruments deemed issued to VMAC shareholders over the fair value of identifiable net assets of VMAC represents a service for listing, and is accounted for as a share-based payment which is expensed as incurred. The net assets of the Combined Company will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the exchange of VMAC’s shares for Pubco’s shares will be deemed to be those of Pubco.

Other Stockholder Proposals

In addition to the Business Combination Proposal, VMAC stockholders will be asked to vote on the Nasdaq Proposal and the Stockholder Adjournment Proposal. For more information about these proposals, see the sections entitled “VMAC Stockholder Proposal No. 2 — The Nasdaq Proposal” and “VMAC Stockholder Proposal No. 3 — The Stockholder Adjournment Proposal.”

Appraisal or Dissenters’ Rights

No appraisal or dissenters’ rights are available to holders of shares of VMAC Common Stock or VMAC Warrants in connection with the Business Combination. For more proxy information, see the section entitled The Special Meeting Of VMAC Stockholders.”

Date, Time and Place of Special Meeting

The special meeting of stockholders of VMAC will be held at            a.m., Eastern time, on            , 2021, at            , or such other date, time and place to which such meetings may be adjourned or postponed, for the purpose of considering and voting upon the proposals. The special meeting will be completely virtual.

Record Date and Voting

You will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the special meeting of stockholders if you owned shares of VMAC Common Stock at the close of business on November 4, 2021, which is the record date for the special meeting of stockholders. You are entitled to one vote for each share of VMAC Common Stock that you owned as of the close of business on the record date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. On the record date, there were 12,830,000 shares of VMAC Common Stock outstanding, of which 10,330,000 are shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock and 2,500,000 are VMAC Class B Common Stock held by VMAC’s Initial Stockholders and 11,295,000 outstanding Public Warrants.

VMAC’s Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to vote all of their VMAC Class B Common Stock and any Public Shares acquired by them in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus. VMAC’s issued and outstanding warrants do not have voting rights at the special meeting of stockholders.

Proxy Solicitation

Proxies may be solicited by mail. VMAC has engaged Morrow Sodali LLC to assist in the solicitation of proxies. If a stockholder grants a proxy, it may still vote its shares in person if it revokes its proxy before the special meeting. A stockholder may also change its vote by submitting a later-dated proxy as described in the section entitled “The Special Meeting of VMAC Stockholders — Revocability of Proxies.”

Quorum and Required Vote for Proposals for the Special Meeting

A quorum of VMAC’s stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the special meeting of stockholders if a majority of the VMAC Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting is represented in person or by proxy.

The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of all then outstanding shares of VMAC Common Stock entitled to vote thereon at the special meeting of stockholders. Each of the Nasdaq Proposal and the Stockholder Adjournment Proposal, if presented, require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of VMAC Common Stock that are voted thereon at the special meeting of stockholders. Accordingly, a VMAC stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the special meeting of stockholders, or an abstention from voting, will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal and will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on the Nasdaq Proposal or the Stockholder Adjournment Proposal.

34

Table of Contents

Recommendation to VMAC Stockholders

VMAC’s board of directors believes that each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, and the Stockholder Adjournment Proposal, is in the best interests of VMAC and its stockholders and recommends that its stockholders vote “FOR” each of the proposals to be presented at the special meeting.

Risk Factors

In evaluating the proposals set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus, you should carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus, including the annexes, and especially consider the factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors.” Some of the risks related to VMAC and Anghami are summarized below:

VMAC

•        VMAC may not be able to complete its initial business combination prior to February 11, 2022 (the deadline after use of the second of two three-month extensions permitted under VMAC’s governing documents), in which case VMAC would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and VMAC would redeem its public shares and liquidate, in which case VMAC’s public stockholders may only receive $10.00 per share, or less than such amount in certain circumstances, and its warrants will expire worthless.

•        The ability of the Public Stockholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock could increase the probability that the Business Combination will be unsuccessful and that VMAC’s stockholders will have to wait for liquidation in order to redeem their Public Shares.

•        If a stockholder fails to receive notice of VMAC’s offer to redeem its Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination, or fails to comply with the procedures for tendering its shares, such shares may not be redeemed.

•        You will not have any rights or interests in funds from the trust account, except under certain limited circumstances. To liquidate your investment, therefore, you may be forced to sell your public shares or warrants, potentially at a loss.

•        The Sponsor and VMAC’s directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may elect to purchase shares from Public Stockholders, which may influence a vote on a proposed business combination and reduce the public “float” of VMAC Class A Common Stock.

•        If a stockholder or a “group” of stockholders are deemed to hold in excess of 20% of VMAC Class A Common Stock, such stockholder or group will lose the ability to redeem all such shares in excess of 20% of VMAC Class A Common Stock.

•        VMAC’s stockholders cannot be sure of the market value of the Pubco Ordinary Shares to be issued upon completion of the Business Combination.

•        The Pubco Ordinary Shares to be received by VMAC’s stockholders as a result of the Business Combination will have different rights from shares of VMAC Common Stock.

•        VMAC’s Sponsor, officers, directors and Initial Stockholders and I-Bankers have agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how the Public Stockholders vote.

•        VMAC’s board of directors did not obtain a fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination and, as a result, the terms may not be fair from a financial point of view to the Public Stockholders.

•        The Sponsor and VMAC’s executive officers and directors have potential conflicts of interest in recommending that stockholders vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal and approval of the other proposals described in the Registration Statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part.

35

Table of Contents

•        If VMAC fails to consummate the PIPE, it may not have enough funds to complete the Business Combination.

•        Subsequent to the completion of the Business Combination, Pubco may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on Pubco’s financial condition, results of operations and our stock price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

•        VMAC’s stockholders will have a reduced ownership and voting interest after consummation of the Business Combination and will exercise less influence over management.

Anghami

•        Anghami may not be able to successfully attract prospective users and retain existing users, which could adversely affect its growth prospects and revenue.

•        Anghami depends on third-party licenses for sound recordings and musical compositions and an adverse change to, loss of, or claim that it does not hold any necessary licenses may materially adversely affect its business, operating results, and financial condition.

•        Anghami is a party to many license agreements which are complex and impose numerous obligations upon it which may make it difficult to operate its business, and a breach of such agreements could adversely affect Anghami’s business, operating results, and financial condition.

•        Anghami has no control over the providers of its content, and its business may be adversely affected if the access to music is limited or delayed. The concentration of control of content by Anghami’s major providers means that even one entity, or a small number of entities working together, could unilaterally affect its access to music and other content.

•        Anghami has complex royalty payment arrangement that are difficult to estimate under its licensing agreements.

•        Anghami is required to make minimum guarantee payments under certain licensing agreements, for sound recordings and underlying musical compositions. Such minimum guarantees can limit Anghami’s operations and may adversely affect its business, operating results, and financial condition.

•        Comprehensive and accurate ownership information for the musical compositions embodied in sound recordings is often unavailable to Anghami or difficult or, in some cases, impossible for it to obtain, often times because it is withheld by the owners or administrators of such rights. This impacts Anghami’s ability to perform its obligations under its licenses, affects the size of its catalog, impacts its ability to control content acquisition costs, and leads to potential copyright infringement claims.

•        If Anghami’s security systems are breached, it may face civil liability, and public perception of its security measures could be diminished, either of which would negatively affect Anghami’s ability to attract and retain users, advertisers, content providers, and other business partners.

•        Third parties have asserted, and may in the future assert, that Anghami has infringed, misappropriated, or otherwise violated their copyrights, patents, and other intellectual property rights, and as Anghami faces increasing competition, the possibility of intellectual property rights claims against it grows.

•        Failure to transfer the ownership of Anghami’s subsidiary in Egypt from certain employees may adversely affect its business, operating results, and financial condition.

•        Failure to protect Anghami’s intellectual property could substantially harm its business, operating results, and financial condition.

The following selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of comprehensive income for the period ended December 31, 2020 combines the audited historical consolidated statement of comprehensive income of Anghami for the year ended December 31, 2020 with the audited statement of operations of VMAC for the period from March 27, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, giving effect to the transactions as if they had occurred as of January 1, 2020.

The following selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position combines the unaudited historical consolidated statement of financial position of Anghami as of June 30, 2021 with the unaudited historical balance sheet of VMAC as of June 30, 2021, giving effect to the transactions as if they had been consummated as of June 30, 2021.

This information is only a summary and should be read together with VMAC’s unaudited financial statements and related notes thereto, VMAC’s audited financial statements and related notes thereto, the Anghami unaudited financial statements and related notes thereto, and the Anghami audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto, and the sections entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information”, “VMAC Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, “Anghami Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and other financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared assuming two alternative levels of redemption of VMAC common stock into cash:

1.      Assuming No Redemptions:    This presentation assumes that no VMAC stockholders exercise redemption rights with respect to their shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock upon consummation of the Business Combination and $40,000,000 proceeds from the PIPE;

2.      Assuming Maximum Redemptions:    This presentation assumes that VMAC stockholders exercise their redemption rights with respect to 9,500,000 shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock upon consummation of the Business Combination at a redemption price of approximately $10 per share. The maximum redemption amount is derived so that there is a minimum of $45,000,001 of cash held either in or outside of the trust account, including the aggregate amount of any proceeds from the PIPE, after giving effect to the payments to redeeming stockholders and before considering transaction fees.

The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is for illustrative purposes only. The financial results may have been different had the companies always been combined. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should not be relied upon as being indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved had the companies always been combined or the future results that the Combined Company will experience. VMAC and Anghami have not had any historical relationship prior to the Business Combination.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully review and consider the following risk factors and the other information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the financial statements and notes to the financial statements included herein. Certain of the following risk factors apply to the business and operations of Anghami and will also apply to the business and operations of Pubco following the completion of the Business Combination. The occurrence of one or more of the events or circumstances described in these risk factors, alone or in combination with other events or circumstances, may adversely affect the ability to complete or realize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, and may have a material adverse effect on the business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations of Pubco following the Business Combination. The risks discussed below may not prove to be exhaustive and are based on certain assumptions made by Pubco, VMAC and Anghami which later may prove to be incorrect or incomplete. Pubco, VMAC and Anghami may face additional risks and uncertainties that are not presently known to such entity, or that are currently deemed immaterial, which may also impair their business or financial condition.

Risks Related to Anghami’s Business and Industry

If Anghami’s efforts to attract prospective users and to retain existing users are not successful, Anghami’s growth prospects and revenue will be adversely affected.

Anghami’s ability to grow its business and generate revenue depends on retaining and expanding the total user base, increasing advertising revenue by effectively monetizing its Ad-Supported Free service user base, and increasing the number of Premium service users. Anghami’s ability to attract new users, retain existing users, and convert Ad-Supported Free service users to Premium service users depends in large part on its ability to continue to offer leading technologies and products, compelling catalog of content, superior functionality, and a high-quality, user-friendly and engaging user experience. Some of its competitors, including Apple, Amazon, and Google, have developed, and are continuing to develop, devices for which their music streaming service is preloaded, which puts us at a significant competitive disadvantage. As consumer tastes and preferences change on the internet and with mobile devices and other internet-connected products, Anghami will need to enhance and improve its existing service, introduce new features, and maintain its competitive position with additional technological advances and an adaptable platform. If it fails to keep pace with technological advances or fails to offer compelling product offerings and state-of-the-art delivery platforms to meet consumer demands, Anghami’s ability to grow or sustain the reach of its service, attract and retain users, and increase Premium service users may be adversely affected.

In addition, in order to increase advertising revenue, Anghami also seeks to increase the listening time that its Ad-Supported Free service users spend on the Ad-Supported Free service. The more content Anghami streams under this service, the more advertising inventory it will have to sell. Generally, any increase in Ad-Supported Free service user base increases the size and scope of user pools targeted by advertisers, which improves Anghami’s ability to deliver relevant advertising to those users in a manner that maximizes its advertising customers’ return on investment. This, in turn, illustrates the effectiveness of Anghami’s advertising solutions and justifies its pricing structure. If Anghami fails to grow its Ad-Supported Free service user base, the amount of content streamed, and the listening time spent by these users, Anghami may be unable to grow Ad-Supported revenue. Moreover, since Anghami primarily sources Premium service user from the conversion of its Ad-Supported Free service users, any failure to grow the Ad-Supported Free service user base or convert them to Premium service users may negatively impact Anghami’s revenue.

Anghami depends on third-party licenses for sound recordings and musical compositions and an adverse change to, loss of, or claim that it does not hold any necessary licenses may materially adversely affect its business, operating results, and financial condition.

To secure the rights to stream sound recordings and the musical compositions embodied therein, Anghami enters into license agreements to obtain licenses from rights holders such as record labels, music publishers, performing rights organizations, collecting societies, and other copyright owners or their agents, and pays royalties to such parties or their agents around the world. Anghami works diligently to obtain all necessary licenses to stream sound recordings and the musical compositions embodied therein, however, there is no guarantee that the licenses available to it now will continue to be available in the future at rates and on terms that are favorable or commercially reasonable or at all. The terms of these licenses, including the royalty rates that Anghami is required to pay pursuant

43

Table of Contents

to them, may change as a result of changes in its bargaining power, changes in the industry, changes in the law, or for other reasons. Increases in royalty rates or changes to other terms of these licenses may materially impact Anghami’s business, operating results, and financial condition.

Anghami has entered into license agreements to obtain rights to stream sound recordings, including from the major international record labels who hold the rights to stream a significant number of sound recordings such as Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, and Warner Music Group, as well as regional record labels, such as Qanawat Nile Production and Stars for Art production & distribution Offshore. If Anghami fails to retain these licenses, the size and quality of its catalog may be materially impacted and its business, operating results, and financial condition could be materially harmed.

Anghami generally obtains licenses for two types of rights with respect to musical compositions: mechanical rights and public performance rights. Anghami obtains mechanical and performance licenses for musical compositions either through local collecting societies representing publishers or from publishers directly, or a combination thereof.

With respect to mechanical rights, in the MENA Operating Area, Anghami pays various rights owners through a ratemaking process conducted on a case-by-case basis based on negotiating each deal. Anghami obtains mechanical and performance licenses for musical compositions either through local collecting societies representing publishers or from publishers directly, or a combination thereof. There are cases of publishing deals which are represented by bodies which combine both mechanical and public performance rights, such as SOLAR which represents mechanical rights of Sony Music Publishing and public performance rights from PRS and International Copyright Enterprise Services Limited among others. Since in many countries in the MENA Region, there are no collection societies, Anghami cannot guarantee that its licenses with the existing few collecting societies and/or its direct licenses with publishers provide full coverage for all of the musical compositions Anghami makes available to its users in such countries. As such there is a fragmented copyright licensing landscape which leads to publishers, songwriters, and other rights holders choosing not to be represented by collecting societies and that adversely impacts Anghami’s ability to secure favorable licensing arrangements in connection with musical compositions that such rights holders own or control, including increasing the costs of licensing such musical compositions, or subjecting Anghami to significant liability for copyright infringement.

In the United States, the rates Anghami pays are for mechanical rights, a function of a ratemaking proceeding conducted by an administrative agency called the Copyright Royalty Board. The most recent proceeding before the Copyright Royalty Board (the “Phonorecords III Proceedings”) set the rates for the Section 115 compulsory license for calendar years 2018 to 2022. The Copyright Royalty Board issued its initial written determination on January 26, 2018 and set up the Mechanical Licensing Collective (the “MLC”). The MLC is a nonprofit organization designated by the U.S. Copyright Office pursuant to the Music Modernization Act of 2018. In January 2021, the MLC began administering blanket mechanical licenses to eligible streaming and download services (digital service providers or DSPs) in the United States, which Anghami opted for and obtained a blanket license for mechanical rights in the U.S. The MLC collects the royalties due under those licenses from the DSPs and pay songwriters, composers, lyricists, and music publishers. Anghami currently believes that the current rates will not materially impact its business, operating results, and financial condition in the U.S. as although the U.S. is its biggest market outside of the MENA Operating Area, it is currently not a significant market. However, if Anghami does decide to expand its business (with both Arabic and international music) in the U.S., and does not perform as expected or if the rates are modified to be higher than the proposed rates, its content acquisition costs could increase and impact its ability to obtain content on pricing terms favorable to Anghami, which could negatively harm its business, operating results, and financial condition and hinder its ability to provide interactive features in Anghami’s services, or cause one or more of Anghami’s services not to be economically viable in U.S.

In the U.S., performing rights organizations (“PROs”) generally provide public performance rights, which negotiate blanket licenses with copyright users for the public performance of compositions, collect royalties, and distribute those royalties to rights owners. The royalty rates that apply to Anghami today may be subject to changes in the future. Licenses provided by two of these PROs, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers and Broadcast Music, Inc. are governed by consent decrees which are subject to terms which could be unfavorable to Anghami in the future. This could affect its financial viability in the future in the U.S.

Anghami cannot guarantee that its licenses with collecting societies and its direct licenses with publishers provide full coverage for all of the musical compositions that Anghami makes available on its platform.

44

Table of Contents

There also is no guarantee that Anghami has or will have all of the licenses it needs to stream content, as the process of obtaining such licenses involves many rights holders, some of whom are unknown, and myriad complex legal issues across many jurisdictions, including open questions of law as to when and whether particular licenses are needed. Additionally, there is a risk that aspiring rights holders, their agents, or legislative or regulatory bodies will create or attempt to create new rights that could require Anghami to enter into license agreements with, and pay royalties to, newly defined groups of rights holders, some of which may be difficult or impossible to identify. See also the section entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Anghami’s Business and Industry — Difficulties in obtaining accurate and comprehensive information necessary to identify the compositions embodied in sound recordings on Anghami’s service and the ownership thereof may impact Anghami’s ability to perform its obligations under licenses, affect the size of its catalog, impact its ability to control content acquisition costs, and lead to potential copyright infringement claims.”

Further, Anghami cannot guarantee that such agreements will continue to be renewed indefinitely. For example, from time to time, license agreements with certain rights holders and/or their agents may expire while Anghami negotiates their renewals and, per industry custom and practice, it may enter into brief (for example, month-, week-, or even days-long) extensions of those agreements and/or continue to operate as if the license agreement had been extended, including by Anghami continuing to make music available. During these periods, Anghami may not have assurance of long-term access to such rights holders’ content, which could have a material adverse effect on its business and could lead to potential copyright infringement claims. It also is possible that such agreements will never be renewed at all. The lack of renewal, or termination, of one or more of Anghami’s license agreements, or the renewal of a license agreement on less favorable terms, also could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Anghami is a party to many license agreements which are complex and impose numerous obligations upon it which may make it difficult to operate its business, and a breach of such agreements could adversely affect Anghami’s business, operating results, and financial condition.

Anghami’s license agreements are primarily complex and impose numerous obligations on it, including obligations to, among other things:

•        meet certain user and conversion targets in order to secure certain licenses and royalty rates;

•        calculate and make payments based on complex royalty structures, which requires tracking usage of content on Anghami’s service that may have inaccurate or incomplete metadata necessary for such calculation;

•        provide periodic reports on the exploitation of the content in specified formats;

•        represent that Anghami will obtain all necessary publishing licenses and consents and pay all associated fees, royalties, and other amounts due for the licensing of musical compositions;

•        provide advertising inventory;

•        comply with certain marketing and advertising restrictions; and

•        comply with certain security and technical specifications.

Some of Anghami’s license agreements grant the licensor the right to audit its compliance with the terms and conditions of such agreements. Some of the license agreements also include so-called “most favored nations” provisions which require that certain terms (including potentially the material terms) of such agreements are no less favorable than those provided to any similarly situated licensor. If triggered, these most favored nations provisions could cause Anghami’s payments or other obligations under those agreements to escalate substantially. Additionally, some license agreements require consent to undertake certain business initiatives and without such consent, Anghami’s ability to undertake new business initiatives may be limited and in turn could hurt its competitive position.

45

Table of Contents

If Anghami materially breaches any of these obligations or any other obligations set forth in any of the license agreements, or if Anghami uses content in ways that are found to exceed the scope of such agreements, it could be subject to monetary penalties and its rights under such license agreements could be terminated, either of which could have a material adverse effect on Anghami’s business, operating results, and financial condition.

Anghami has no control over the providers of its content, and its business may be adversely affected if the access to music is limited or delayed. The concentration of control of content by Anghami’s major providers means that even one entity, or a small number of entities working together, may unilaterally affect its access to music and other content.

Anghami relies on music rights holders, over whom it has no control, for the content it makes available on Anghami’s service. Anghami cannot guarantee that these parties will always choose to license to it. The music industry has a high level of concentration, which means that one or a small number of entities may, on their own, take actions that adversely affect Anghami’s business. For example, with respect to sound recordings, the music licensed to Anghami under its agreements with Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, and Warner Music Group, makes up the majority of music consumed on Anghami’s service. For the year ended December 31, 2020, this content accounted for approximately 39.24% of streams.

Anghami’s business may be adversely affected if its access to music is limited or delayed because of deterioration in its relationships with one or more of these rights holders or if they choose not to license to Anghami for any other reason. Rights holders also may attempt to take advantage of their market power to seek onerous financial terms from Anghami, which could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations. In 2019, Rotana Audio and Video (“Rotana”) terminated their license agreement. Anghami initiated an arbitration proceeding at the Commercial Courts in Beirut against Rotana for breach of the provisions of the license agreement. In October 2019, Rotana filed a suit against Anghami before Beirut First Instance Court, claiming that Anghami has been illegally distributing content owned by Rotana without a license. Rotana also initiated a legal claim against Anghami before the Cyber Crime Bureau in September 2020, alleging that Anghami kept some content owned by Rotana without a license. See the section entitled “Information about Anghami — Legal Proceedings” for more details. To the extent that these litigations with Rotana result in material damages, fines, or losses it could have a materially negative impact on Anghami’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Even if Anghami is able to secure rights to sound recordings from record labels and other copyright owners, artists and/or artist groups may object and may exert public or private pressure on third parties to discontinue licensing rights to Anghami, hold back content from it, or increase royalty rates. As a result, Anghami’s ability to continue to license rights to sound recordings is subject to convincing a broad range of stakeholders of the value and quality of Anghami’s service.

To the extent that Anghami is unable to license a large amount of content or the content of certain popular artists, its business, operating results, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Anghami’s royalty payment arrangements are complex, and it is difficult to estimate the amount payable under license agreements.

Under Anghami’s license agreements, Anghami has to pay a royalty to record labels, music publishers, and other copyright owners in order to stream content. The determination of the amount and timing of such payments is complex and subject to a number of variables, including the revenue generated, the type of content streamed and the country in which it is streamed, the service tier such content is streamed on, identification of the appropriate license holder, size of user base, ratio of Ad-Supported Free service users to Premium service users, and any applicable advertising fees, app stores and telecom operators fees and discounts, among other variables. Additionally, for new licensing agreements, Anghami has certain arrangements because of which royalty costs are paid in advance or are subject to minimum guaranteed amounts. An accrual is estimated when actual royalty costs to be incurred during a contractual period are expected to fall short of the minimum guaranteed amount. Additionally, Anghami also has license agreements that include so-called “most favored nations” provisions that require that the material terms of such agreements are the most favorable material terms provided to any music licensor, which, if triggered, could cause Anghami’s royalty payments under those agreements to escalate substantially. An accrual and expense is recognized when it is probable that Anghami will make additional royalty payments under these terms.

46

Determining royalty payments is complex. As a result, Anghami may underpay or overpay the royalty amounts payable to record labels, music publishers, and other copyright owners. Underpayment could result in (i) litigation or other disputes with record labels, music publishers, and other copyright owners, (ii) the unexpected payment of additional royalties in material amounts, and (iii) damage to business relationships with record labels, music publishers, other copyright owners, and artists and/or artist groups. If Anghami overpays royalties, it may be unable to reclaim such overpayments, and its profits will suffer. Failure to accurately pay royalties may adversely affect Anghami’s business, operating results, and financial condition.

Minimum guarantees required under certain of Anghami’s license agreements for sound recordings and underlying musical compositions may limit Anghami’s operations and may adversely affect its business, operating results, and financial condition.

Certain of Anghami’s license agreements for sound recordings and musical compositions (both for mechanical rights and public performance rights) contain minimum guarantees and/or require that Anghami make minimum guarantee payments. As of June 30, 2021, Anghami has estimated future minimum guarantee commitments of $11,104,167. Such minimum guarantees related to content acquisition costs are not always tied to Anghami’s number of users, Premium service users, or the number of sound recordings and musical compositions used on Anghami’s service. Accordingly, Anghami’s ability to achieve and sustain profitability and operating leverage on its service depends, in part, on its ability to increase revenue through increased sales of Premium service and advertising sales on terms that maintain an adequate gross margin. The duration of license agreements that contain minimum guarantees is typically between one and two years, but Premium service users may cancel their subscriptions at any time. If Anghami’s forecasts of Premium service user acquisition do not meet its expectations or the number or advertising sales decline significantly during the term of the license agreements, Anghami’s margins may be materially and adversely affected. To the extent Premium service revenue growth or advertising sales do not meet Anghami’s expectations, Anghami’s business, operating results, and financial condition also could be adversely affected as a result of such minimum guarantees. In addition, the fixed cost nature of these minimum guarantees may limit Anghami’s flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in its business and the market segments in which it operates.

Anghami relies on estimates of the market share of licensable content controlled by each content provider, as well as its own user growth and forecasted advertising revenue, to forecast whether such minimum guarantees could be recouped against Anghami’s actual content acquisition costs incurred over the duration of the license agreement. To the extent that these revenue and/or market share estimates underperform relative to Anghami’s expectations, leading to content acquisition costs that do not exceed such minimum guarantees, its margins may be materially and adversely affected.

Difficulties in obtaining accurate and comprehensive information necessary to identify the compositions embodied in sound recordings on Anghami’s service and the ownership thereof may impact Anghami’s ability to perform its obligations under its licenses, affect the size of its catalog, impact its ability to control content acquisition costs, and lead to potential copyright infringement claims.

Comprehensive and accurate ownership information for the musical compositions embodied in sound recordings is often unavailable to Anghami or difficult or, in some cases, impossible for it to obtain, often times because it is withheld by the owners or administrators of such rights. Anghami currently relies on the assistance of third parties to determine this information. If the information provided to Anghami or obtained by such third parties does not comprehensively or accurately identify the ownership of musical compositions, or if Anghami is unable to determine which musical compositions correspond to specific sound recordings, it may be difficult or impossible to identify the appropriate rights holders to whom to pay royalties. This may make it difficult to comply with the obligations of any agreements with those rights holders.

These challenges, and others concerning the licensing of musical compositions embodied in sound recordings on Anghami’s service, may subject Anghami to significant liability for copyright infringement, breach of contract, or other claims. See the section entitled “Information about Anghami — Legal Proceedings.”

If Anghami’s security systems are breached, it may face civil liability, and public perception of its security measures could be diminished, either of which would negatively affect Anghami’s ability to attract and retain Premium service users, Ad-Supported Free service users, advertisers, content providers, and other business partners.

Techniques used to gain unauthorized access to data and software are constantly evolving, and Anghami may be unable to anticipate or prevent unauthorized access to data pertaining to its users, including credit card and debit card information and other personal data about its users, business partners, and employees. Like all internet services, Anghami’s service, which is supported by its own systems and those of third parties that Anghami works with, is vulnerable to software bugs, computer viruses, internet worms, break-ins, phishing attacks, attempts to overload servers with denial-of-service, or other attacks and similar disruptions from unauthorized use of its and third-party computer systems, any of which could lead to system interruptions, delays, or shutdowns, causing loss of critical data or the unauthorized access to personal data. Computer malware, viruses, and computer hacking and phishing attacks have become more prevalent in the music subscription industry, and may occur on Anghami’s systems in the future. Because of Anghami’s prominence, Anghami believes that it is a particularly attractive target for such attacks. Though it is difficult to determine what, if any, harm may directly result from any specific interruption or attack, any failure to maintain performance, reliability, security, and availability of Anghami’s products and technical infrastructure to the satisfaction of its users may harm Anghami’s reputation and ability to retain existing users and attract new users. Although Anghami has developed systems and processes that are designed to protect its data and user data, to prevent data loss, to disable undesirable accounts and activities on the platform, and to prevent or detect security breaches, Anghami such measures may not provide absolute security, may fail, or may fail to stop such data loss or activities, and it may incur significant costs in protecting against or remediating cyber-attacks.

Any failure, or perceived failure, by Anghami to maintain the security of data relating to its users, to comply with its posted privacy policy, laws and regulations, rules of self-regulatory organizations, industry standards, and contractual provisions to which Anghami may be bound, could result in the loss of confidence in Anghami, or result in actions against it by governmental entities or others, all of which could result in litigation and financial losses, and could potentially cause Anghami to lose users, advertisers, and revenues.

Assertions by third parties of infringement or other violation by Anghami of their intellectual property rights could harm Anghami’s business, operating results, and financial condition.

Third parties have asserted, and may in the future assert, that Anghami has infringed, misappropriated, or otherwise violated their copyrights, patents, and other intellectual property rights, and as Anghami faces increasing competition, the possibility of intellectual property rights claims against it grows. In October 2019, Rotana filed a case against Anghami, alleging that Anghami has been illegally distributing content owned by Rotana without a license. See the section entitled “Information About Anghami — Legal Proceedings.”

Anghami’s ability to provide its service is dependent upon its ability to license intellectual property rights to sound recordings and the musical compositions embodied therein, as well as related content such as album cover art and artist images. Various laws and regulations govern the copyright and other intellectual property rights associated with sound recordings and musical compositions. Existing laws and regulations are evolving and subject to different interpretations, and various legislative or regulatory bodies may expand current or enact new laws or regulations. It may be the case that a third party asserts that it is infringing or violating a third-party intellectual property right, or it may be the case that Anghami may do so in the future. See the section entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Anghami’s Business and Industry — Difficulties in obtaining accurate and comprehensive information necessary to identify the compositions embodied in sound recordings on Anghami’s service and the ownership thereof may impact Anghami’s ability to perform its obligations under its licenses, affect the size of its catalog, impact its ability to control content acquisition costs, and lead to potential copyright infringement claims.”

In addition, music, internet, technology, and media companies are frequently subject to litigation based on allegations of infringement, misappropriation, or other violations of intellectual property rights. Many companies in these industries, including many of Anghami’s competitors, have substantially larger patent and intellectual property portfolios than Anghami does, which could make it a target for litigation as it may not be able to assert counterclaims against parties that sue for patent, or other intellectual property infringement. In addition, various “non-practicing entities” that own patents and other intellectual property rights often attempt to aggressively assert claims in order to extract value from technology companies. Further, from time to time Anghami may introduce new products and services, including in territories where it currently does not have an offering, which could increase its

48

Table of Contents

exposure to patent and other intellectual property claims from competitors and non-practicing entities. It is difficult to predict whether assertions of third-party intellectual property rights or any infringement or misappropriation claims arising from such assertions will substantially harm Anghami’s business, operating results, and financial condition. If Anghami is forced to defend against any infringement or misappropriation claims, whether they are with or without merit, are settled out of court, or are determined in its favor, Anghami may be required to expend significant time and financial resources on the defense of such claims. Furthermore, an adverse outcome of a dispute may require Anghami to pay significant damages, which may be even greater if it is found to have willfully infringed upon a party’s intellectual property; cease exploiting copyrighted content that it has previously had the ability to exploit; cease using solutions that are alleged to infringe or misappropriate the intellectual property of others; expend additional development resources to redesign its solutions; enter into potentially unfavorable royalty or license agreements in order to obtain the right to use necessary technologies, content, or materials; indemnify its partners and other third parties; and/or take other actions that may have material effects on its business, operating results, and financial condition.

Additionally, Anghami relies on software programmers to design proprietary technologies, and it regularly contributes software source code under “open source” licenses and have made technology it has developed available under open source licenses. Anghami does not exercise complete control over the development efforts of its programmers, and it cannot be certain that its programmers have not used software that is subject to licenses that would require it to disclose code and/or innovations in its products or that they will not do so in the future. In the event that portions of Anghami’s proprietary technology are determined to be subject to licenses that require it to publicly release the affected portions of its source code, re-engineer a portion of its technologies, or otherwise be limited in the licensing of its technologies, Anghami may be forced to do so, each of which could materially harm its business, operating results, and financial condition.

Finally, some of the content offered on Anghami’s service is generated by its users or other content creators, subjecting Anghami to heightened risk of claims of intellectual property infringement by third-parties if such users and content creators do not obtain the appropriate authorizations from rights holders.

Failure to transfer the ownership of Anghami’s subsidiary in Egypt from certain employees may adversely affect its business, operating results, and financial condition.

Anghami for Digital Content, a joint-stock company registered in Egypt (“ADC”), was established in March 2017 by Anghami, with Walid Mansour, Edgard Jean Maroun and Elias Nabil Habib (each a current director of Anghami) as shareholders. However, following incorporation, the shareholders were not permitted to be holders of such securities by the Egyptian regulatory authorities, pending adequate security clearance. Anghami transferred the ownership of ADC to three employees of ADC instead, and each of these employees have entered into nominee agreements with Anghami, pursuant to which, among other things, each employee has acknowledged that the shares are owned by Anghami, undertaken to remit the shares and transfer the ownership upon first demand by Anghami free of charge, waived any rights in relation to the shares, and undertaken to not take any action, make operational or financial decisions, or enter into any transactions or agreements without Anghami’s approval. Anghami is currently in the process of transferring the ownership of ADC to Anghami FZ LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary of Anghami), Hossam El Gamal and Emad Tayel with the Egyptian regulatory authorities. ADC accounted for 13.4% of Anghami’s revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 15.3% of Anghami’s revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021. However, Anghami may not be able to transfer ADC’s ownership promptly, or at all. If Anghami is unable to transfer such ownership, it intends to continue with the current circumstance, transferring ownership when necessary to other employees under similar agreements. If that is not possible or if the employees assert ownership over such shares in any capacity or purport to transfer ownership to another party other than at Anghami’s direction, Anghami may have to expend significant time and financial resources to support and secure its ownership of ADC. Accordingly, Anghami’s business, operating results, and financial condition may be adversely affected if it is unable to transfer the ownership of ADC.

Failure to protect Anghami’s intellectual property could substantially harm its business, operating results, and financial condition.

The success of Anghami’s business depends on its ability to protect and enforce its patents, trade secrets, trademarks, copyrights, and all of its other intellectual property rights, including intellectual property rights underlying Anghami’s service. Anghami attempts to protect its intellectual property under patent, trade secret, trademark, and

49

Table of Contents

copyright laws through a combination of employee, third-party assignment and nondisclosure agreements, other contractual restrictions, technological measures, and other methods, which provide only limited protection. Despite Anghami’s efforts to protect its intellectual property rights and trade secrets, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of its song recommendation technology or other technology, or obtain and use its trade secrets and other confidential information. Moreover, policing Anghami’s intellectual property rights is difficult and time consuming.

Anghami has filed, and may in the future file, patent applications on certain of its innovations. It is possible, however, that these innovations may not be patentable. In addition, given the cost, effort, risks, and downside of obtaining patent protection, including the requirement to ultimately disclose the invention to the public, Anghami may choose not to seek patent protection for some innovations. Furthermore, Anghami’s patent applications may not issue as granted patents, the scope of the protection gained may be insufficient or an issued patent may be deemed invalid or unenforceable. Further, Anghami cannot guarantee that any of its present or future patents or other intellectual property rights will not lapse or be invalidated, circumvented, challenged, or abandoned. Neither can Anghami guarantee that its intellectual property rights will provide competitive advantages to it. Anghami’s ability to assert its intellectual property rights against potential competitors or to settle current or future disputes could be limited by its relationships with third parties, and any of its pending or future patent applications may not have the scope of coverage originally sought. Anghami cannot guarantee that its intellectual property rights will be enforced in jurisdictions where competition may be intense or where legal protection may be weak. Anghami could lose both the ability to assert its intellectual property rights against, or to license its technology to, others and the ability to collect royalties or other payments.

Anghami currently owns the www.anghami.com internet domain name and various other related domain names. Internet regulatory bodies generally regulate domain names. If Anghami loses the ability to use a domain name in a particular country, it would be forced either to incur significant additional expenses to market Anghami’s service within that country or, in extreme cases, to elect not to offer Anghami’s service in that country. Either result could harm its business, operating results, and financial condition. Regulatory bodies could also establish additional top-level domains, appoint additional domain name registrars, or modify the requirements for holding domain names. As a result, Anghami may not be able to acquire or maintain the domain names that utilize its brand names in the countries in which it may conduct business in the future.

Anghami has initiated, and may in the future initiate, litigation or proceedings before governmental authorities and administrative bodies, to enforce Anghami’s intellectual property rights, to protect its patent rights, trademarks, trade secrets, and domain names and to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Anghami’s efforts to enforce or protect its proprietary rights may be ineffective and could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management time, each of which could substantially harm its operating results. Additionally, changes in law may be implemented, or changes in interpretation of such laws may occur, that may affect Anghami’s ability to protect and enforce its patents and other intellectual property.

Anghami’s user metrics and other estimates are subject to inherent challenges in measurement, and real or perceived inaccuracies in those metrics may seriously harm and negatively affect its reputation and business.

Anghami regularly reviews key metrics related to the operation of its business, including, but not limited to, active users, Premium subscribers and conversion, Premium average revenue per user, unit economics and EBITDA, Premium user churn rate, Arabic content and originals content creation to evaluate growth trends, measure performance, and make strategic decisions. These metrics are calculated using internal company data and have not been validated by an independent third party. These numbers were not prepared with a view toward public disclosure or compliance with the published guidelines of the SEC, or the applicable guidelines for the preparation and presentation of financial statements. While these numbers are based on what Anghami believes to be reasonable estimates of its user base for the applicable period of measurement, there are inherent challenges in measuring how Anghami’s service is used across large populations globally. For example, Anghami believes that there are individuals who have multiple Anghami accounts, which can result in an overstatement of active users. Errors or inaccuracies in metrics or data could result in incorrect business decisions and inefficiencies.

In addition, advertisers generally rely on third-party measurement services to calculate Anghami’s metrics, and these third-party measurement services may not reflect its true audience. Some of Anghami’s demographic data also may be incomplete or inaccurate because users self-report their names and dates of birth. If advertisers, partners, or

50

Table of Contents

investors do not perceive Anghami’s user, geographic, or other demographic metrics to be accurate representations of its user base, or if Anghami discovers material inaccuracies in its user, geographic, or other demographic metrics, its reputation may be seriously harmed. See the sections entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Anghami’s Business and Industry — Anghami relies on advertising revenue from its Ad-Supported Free service, and any failure to convince advertisers of the benefits of its Ad-Supported Free service in the future could harm its business, operating results, and financial condition,” “— Anghami is at risk of artificial manipulation of stream counts and failure to effectively manage and remediate such fraudulent streams could have an adverse impact on its business, operating results, and financial condition,” and “— Anghami is at risk of attempts at unauthorized access to its service and failure to effectively prevent and remediate such attempts could have an adverse impact on its business, operating results, and financial condition.”

Anghami is at risk of attempts at unauthorized access to its service and failure to effectively prevent and remediate such attempts could have an adverse impact on its business, operating results, and financial condition.

Anghami is at risk of being impacted by attempts by third parties to manipulate and exploit its software for the purpose of gaining unauthorized access to Anghami’s service. If Anghami has currently failed to successfully detect and address such issues or if in the future Anghami fails to successfully detect and address such issues, it may have artificial effects on key performance indicators, which underlie, among other things, Anghami’s contractual obligations with rights holders and advertisers, as well as harm its relationship with advertisers and rights holders. This may also impact Anghami’s results of operations, particularly with respect to margins on its Ad-Supported Free service segment, by increasing the Ad-Supported cost of revenue without a corresponding increase to its Ad-Supported revenue, and could expose Anghami to claims for damages including, but not limited to, from rights holders, any of which could seriously harm its business. Moreover, once Anghami detects and corrects such unauthorized access and any key performance indicators it affects, investor confidence in the integrity of Anghami’s key performance indicators could be undermined. These could have a material adverse impact on Anghami’s business, operating results, and financial condition.

Anghami is at risk of artificial manipulation of stream counts and failure to effectively manage and remediate such fraudulent streams could have an adverse impact on its business, operating results, and financial condition.

Anghami has in the past been, and continues to be, impacted by attempts by third parties to artificially manipulate stream counts. Such attempts may, for example, be designed to generate revenue for rights holders or to influence placement of content on Anghami-created playlists or industry music charts. These potentially fraudulent streams also may involve the creation of non-bona fide user accounts or artists. Anghami uses a combination of algorithms and manual review by employees to detect fraudulent streams. However, it may not be successful in detecting, removing, and addressing all fraudulent streams (and any related user accounts). If Anghami fails to successfully detect, remove, and address fraudulent streams and associated user accounts, it may result in the manipulation of its data, including the key performance indicators which underlie, among other things, its contractual obligations with rights holders and advertisers (which could expose Anghami to the risk of litigation), as well as harm its relationships with advertisers and rights holders. In addition, once Anghami detects, corrects, and discloses fraudulent streams and associated user accounts and the key performance indicators they affect, investor confidence in the integrity of its key performance indicators could be undermined. These could have a material adverse impact on Anghami’s business, operating results, and financial condition.

If Anghami fails to develop and maintain an effective system of internal controls covering financial reporting, Anghami and Pubco may be unable to accurately or timely report its financial results or prevent fraud, and investor confidence and the market price of Pubco’s shares may be materially and adversely impacted.

Effective internal controls over financial reporting are necessary for Anghami and Pubco to provide reliable financial reports and, together with adequate disclosure controls and procedures, are designed to prevent fraud. Prior to the Business Combination, Anghami was a private company with limited accounting personnel and limited resources with which to address internal controls over financial reporting. In connection with the audit of its consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, Anghami and its independent registered public accounting firm identified certain material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting.

51

Table of Contents

As defined in the standards established by the U.S. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, a “material weakness” is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal controls covering financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be detected or prevented on a timely basis.

The material weaknesses identified were:

•        Anghami did not have sufficient skilled personnel with requisite IFRS reporting knowledge and experience;

•        Anghami did not have sufficient entity level controls and sufficiently designed internal controls and financial reporting policies and procedures including segregation of duties that are commensurate with IFRS reporting requirements; and

•        Anghami did not have sufficient effective controls over prospective financial information used in the Anghami’s going concern assessment.

These material weaknesses, if not remedied in a timely manner, may lead to material misstatements in Pubco’s future consolidated financial statements.

Anghami was neither historically required to perform an evaluation of internal controls covering financial reporting as of December 31, 2019 or December 31, 2020 in accordance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as it was a private company, nor did Anghami undertake a comprehensive assessment of its internal controls for purposes of identifying and reporting material weaknesses and other control deficiencies. Had Anghami performed a formal assessment of its internal controls over financial reporting or had its independent registered public accounting firm performed an audit of Anghami’s internal controls over financial reporting, additional deficiencies may have been identified.

As a public company, Pubco will be required to maintain internal control over financial reporting, including adequate disclosure controls and procedures, and to report any material weaknesses in those internal controls, subject to any exemptions that it avails itself of under the JOBS Act (including the requirement to provide an auditor’s attestation report under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act). For example, Pubco will be required to perform system and process evaluation and testing of its internal control over financial reporting to allow its management to report on the effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. If Anghami and Pubco are unable to successfully remediate the identified material weaknesses, if Anghami or Pubco discovers additional material weaknesses or if Anghami or Pubco is otherwise unable to report financial statements accurately or in a timely manner, Pubco would be required to continue disclosing such material weaknesses in future filings with the SEC, which could adversely affect its business, investor confidence in the company and the market price of its ordinary shares and could subject Pubco to litigation or regulatory enforcement actions. As a result, shareholders could lose confidence in Pubco’s financial and other public reporting, which would harm its business and the market value of its ordinary shares.

Pubco’s management and accounting teams will consist primarily of the existing management and accounting teams of Anghami. Following the identification of the material weaknesses, Anghami has begun taking measures, and Pubco will continue to take measures, to remediate these control deficiencies. See the section entitled “Anghami Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.” However, the implementation of these measures may not fully address the material weaknesses in Anghami’s internal controls covering financial reporting, and Anghami cannot conclude that they have been fully remediated. Anghami and Pubco’s failure to correct the material weaknesses or their failure to discover and address any other deficiencies could result in inaccuracies in Pubco’s financial statements and impair its ability to comply with applicable financial reporting requirements and related regulatory filings on a timely basis. At the time of this proxy statement/prospectus, such material weaknesses have not been remediated.

Anghami is subject to a variety of laws around the world. Government regulation of the internet is evolving and any changes in government regulations relating to the internet or other areas of Anghami’s business or other unfavorable developments may adversely affect its business, operating results, and financial condition.

Anghami is an international company with offices and/or operations in 16 countries and territories around the world. As a result of this organizational structure and the scope of Anghami’s operations, Anghami is subject to a variety of laws in different countries. The scope and interpretation of the laws that are or may be applicable to it are often

52

Table of Contents

uncertain and may be conflicting, additionally, as Anghami’s business grows and evolves, it will become subject to laws and regulations in additional jurisdictions. It is difficult to predict how existing laws will be applied to Anghami’s business and the new laws to which it may become subject.

Anghami is subject to general business regulations and laws, as well as regulations and laws specific to the internet. Such laws and regulations include, but are not limited to, labor, advertising and marketing, real estate, taxation, user privacy, data collection and protection, intellectual property, anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, foreign exchange controls, antitrust and competition, electronic contracts, telecommunications, sales procedures, automatic subscription renewals, credit card processing procedures, consumer protections, broadband internet access, and content restrictions. Anghami cannot guarantee that it has been or will be fully compliant in every jurisdiction in which it is subject to regulation, as existing laws and regulations are constantly changing. The adoption or modification of laws or regulations relating to the internet or other areas of Anghami’s business could limit or otherwise adversely affect the manner in which it currently conducts business. Further, compliance with laws, regulations, and other requirements imposed upon Anghami’s business may be onerous and expensive, and they may be inconsistent from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, further increasing the cost of compliance and doing business.

Moreover, as internet commerce continues to evolve, increasing regulation by international regulators becomes more likely and may lead to more stringent consumer protection laws, which may impose additional burdens on Anghami. The adoption of any laws or regulations that adversely affect the popularity or growth in use of the internet, including laws limiting internet neutrality, could decrease user demand for Anghami’s service and increase its cost of doing business. Future regulations, or changes in laws and regulations or their existing interpretations or applications, also could hinder its operational flexibility, raise compliance costs, and result in additional historical or future liabilities, resulting in material adverse impacts on Anghami’s business, operating results, and financial condition.

Anghami depends on highly skilled key personnel to operate its business, and if it is unable to attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel, Anghami’s ability to develop and successfully grow its business could be harmed.

Anghami believes that its future success is highly dependent on the talents and contributions of its senior management, Edgard Maroun, its Chief Executive Officer, and Elias Habib, its Chief Technical Officer, members of its executive team, and other key employees, such as key engineering, finance, research and development, marketing, and sales personnel. Anghami’s future success depends on its continuing ability to attract, develop, motivate, and retain highly qualified and skilled employees. Certain members of Anghami’s senior management, are free to terminate their employment relationship at any time, and their knowledge of Anghami’s business and industry may be difficult to replace. Qualified individuals are in high demand, particularly in the digital media industry, and Anghami may incur significant costs to attract them. If Anghami is unable to attract and retain senior management and key employees, it may not be able to achieve its strategic objectives, and its business could be harmed.

Streaming depends on effectively working with third-party platforms, operating systems, online platforms, hardware, networks, regulations, and standards that Anghami does not control. Changes in Anghami’s service or those operating systems, hardware, networks, regulations, or standards, and Anghami’s limitations on its ability to access those platforms, operating systems, hardware, or networks may seriously harm its business.

Anghami’s service requires high-bandwidth data capabilities and if the costs of data usage increase or access to data networks is limited, its business may be seriously harmed. Additionally, to deliver high-quality audio, video, and other content over networks, Anghami’s services must work well with a range of technologies, systems, networks, regulations, and standards that it does not control.

Anghami also relies on a variety of operating systems, online platforms, hardware, and networks to reach its customers. These platforms range from desktop and mobile operating systems and application stores to wearables and intelligent voice assistants. The owners or operators of these platforms may not share Anghami’s interests and may restrict its access to them or place conditions on access that would materially affect Anghami’s ability to access those platforms. In particular, where the owner of a platform also is Anghami’s direct competitor, the platform may attempt to use this position to affect Anghami’s access to customers and ability to compete. Online platforms also may unilaterally impose certain requirements that negatively affect Anghami’s ability to convert users to the Premium service, such as conditions that limit its freedom to communicate promotions and offers to the users. Similarly, online platforms may force Anghami to use the platform’s payment processing systems which may be inferior to and more costly than other payment processing services available in the market. Online platforms

53

Table of Contents

frequently change the rules and requirements for services like Anghami’s to access the platform, and such changes may adversely affect the success or desirability of Anghami’s service. Online platforms may limit Anghami’s access to information about customers, limiting its ability to convert and retain them. Online platforms also may deny access to application programming interfaces (“API”) or documentation, limiting functionality of Anghami’s service on the platform. There can be no assurance that Anghami will be able to comply with the requirements of those operating systems, online platforms, hardware, networks, regulations, and standards on which Anghami’s service depends, and failure to do so could result in serious harm to its business.

Anghami faces and will continue to face competition for Ad-Supported Free service users, Premium service users, and user listening time.

Anghami competes for the time and attention of its users with other content providers on the basis of a number of factors, including quality of experience, relevance, diversity of content, ease of use, price, accessibility, perception of advertising load, brand awareness, and reputation. Anghami competes with providers of on-demand music, which is purchased or available for free and playable on mobile devices and in the home. These forms of media may be purchased, downloaded, and owned such as iTunes audio files, MP3s, or CDs, or accessed from subscription or free online on-demand offerings by music providers or content streams from other online services. Anghami faces increasing competition for users from a growing variety of businesses, including other subscription music services around the world, many of which offer services that are similar to Anghami’s service, that deliver music content over the internet, through mobile phones, and through other wireless devices. Many of Anghami’s current or future competitors are already entrenched or may have significant brand recognition in a particular region or market in which it seeks to penetrate.

Anghami also competes with providers of internet radio both online and through connected mobile devices. These internet radio providers may offer more extensive content libraries than Anghami offers and some may have a broader international offering than Anghami’s. Anghami also competes with terrestrial radio, satellite radio, and online radio. In addition, Anghami also competes for users with providers of social media services both online and through connected mobile devices.

Anghami also believes that companies with a combination of technical expertise, brand recognition, financial resources, and digital media experience also pose a significant threat of developing competing on-demand music distribution technologies. In particular, if known incumbents in the digital media space such as Facebook choose to offer competing services, they may devote greater resources than Anghami has available, have a more accelerated time frame for deployment, and leverage their existing user base and proprietary technologies to provide services that Anghami’s users and advertisers may view as superior. Furthermore, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Prime, Apple Music, Deezer, Google Play Music, Joox, Pandora, SoundCloud, and others have competing services, which may negatively impact Anghami’s business, operating results, and financial condition. Anghami’s current and future competitors may have higher brand recognition, more established relationships with music and other content licensors and mobile device manufacturers, greater financial, technical, and other resources, more sophisticated technologies, and/or more experience in the markets in which it competes. In addition, Apple and Google also own application store platforms and are charging in-application purchase fees, which are not being levied on their own applications, thus creating a competitive advantage for themselves against Anghami. As the market for on-demand music on the internet and mobile and connected devices increases, new competitors, business models, and solutions are likely to emerge.

Anghami also faces significant competition for users from companies promoting their own digital music content online or through application stores, including several large, well-funded, and seasoned participants in the digital media market. The websites and mobile applications of Anghami’s competitors may rank higher than Anghami’s website and the Anghami mobile application, and Anghami’s application may be difficult to locate in mobile device application stores, which could draw potential users away from its service and toward those of its competitors. In addition, some of the competitors, including Apple, Amazon, and Google, have developed, and are continuing to develop, devices for which their music streaming service is preloaded, creating a visibility advantage. If Anghami is unable to compete successfully for users against other digital media providers by maintaining and increasing its presence and visibility online, on mobile devices, and in application stores, its number of Premium service users and songs streamed on its service may fail to increase or may decline and subscription fees and advertising sales may suffer. See the section entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Anghami’s Business and Industry — If Anghami’s efforts to attract prospective users and to retain existing users are not successful, Anghami’s growth prospects and revenue will be adversely affected.”

Anghami competes for a share of advertisers’ overall marketing budgets with other content providers on a variety of factors including perceived return on investment, effectiveness and relevance of advertising products, pricing structure, and ability to deliver large volumes or precise types of advertisements to targeted user demographic pools. Anghami also competes for advertisers with a range of internet companies, including major internet portals, search engine companies, social media sites, and applications, as well as traditional advertising channels such as terrestrial radio. Failure to compete successfully against its current or future competitors could result in loss of current or potential advertisers, a reduced share of Anghami’s advertisers’ overall marketing budget, loss of existing or potential users, or diminished brand strength, which could adversely affect its pricing and margins, lower revenue, increase research and development and marketing expenses, and prevent Anghami from achieving profitability.

Interruptions, delays or discontinuations in service arising from Anghami’s own systems or from third parties could impair the delivery of its service and harm its business.

Anghami relies on systems housed in its own facilities and upon third parties, including bandwidth providers and third-party “cloud” data storage services, to enable its users to receive Anghami content in a dependable, timely, and efficient manner. Anghami has experienced and may in the future experience periodic service interruptions and delays involving its own systems and those of third parties that it works with. Both Anghami’s own facilities and those of third parties are vulnerable to damage or interruption from earthquakes, floods, fires, power loss, telecommunications failures, and similar events. They also are subject to break-ins, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism, the failure of physical, administrative, technical, and cyber security measures, terrorist acts, natural disasters, human error, the financial insolvency of third parties that Anghami works with, and other unanticipated problems or events. The occurrence of any of these events could result in interruptions in Anghami’s service and to unauthorized access to, or alteration of, the content and data contained on its systems and that these third parties store and deliver on its behalf. Any disruption in the services provided by these third parties could materially adversely impact Anghami’s business reputation, customer relations, and operating results.

If Anghami fails to accurately predict, recommend, and play music that its users enjoy, Anghami may fail to retain existing users and attract new users in sufficient numbers to meet investor expectations for growth or to operate its business profitably.

Anghami’s system for predicting user music preferences and selecting music tailored to its users’ individual music tastes is based on advanced data analytics systems and proprietary algorithms. While Anghami has invested, and will continue to invest, significant resources in refining these technologies; however, these investments may not yield an attractive return and such refinements may not be effective. The effectiveness of its ability to predict user music preferences and select music tailored to Anghami’s users’ individual music tastes depends in part on its ability to gather and effectively analyze large amounts of user data. In addition, Anghami’s ability to offer users songs that they have not previously heard and impart a sense of discovery depends on its ability to acquire and appropriately categorize additional songs that will appeal to each users’ diverse and changing tastes. Although Anghami has a large catalog of songs available to stream, it may not be able to effectively identify and analyze additional songs that its users will enjoy. Anghami’s ability to predict and select music content that its users enjoy is critical to its service and failure to make accurate predictions could materially adversely affect its ability to adequately attract and retain users, increase hours spent by users consuming video and audio content on Anghami’s app (“Content Hours”), and sell advertising to meet investor expectations for growth or to operate the business profitably.

If Anghami fails to effectively manage its growth, its business, operating results, and financial condition may suffer.

Anghami’s rapid growth has placed, and will continue to place, significant demands on its management and operational and financial infrastructure. In order to attain and maintain profitability, Anghami will need to recruit, integrate, and retain skilled and experienced personnel who can demonstrate its value proposition to users, advertisers, and business partners and who can increase the monetization of the music streamed on Anghami’s service, particularly on mobile devices. Continued growth also could strain Anghami’s ability to maintain reliable service levels for its users, effectively monetize the music streamed, develop and improve its operational and financial controls, and recruit, train, and retain highly skilled personnel. If Anghami’s systems do not evolve to meet the increased demands placed on it by an increasing number of advertisers, it also may be unable to meet obligations under advertising agreements with respect to the delivery of advertising or other performance obligations. As

55

Table of Contents

Anghami operations grow in size, scope, and complexity, Anghami will need to improve and upgrade its systems and infrastructure, which will require significant expenditures and allocation of valuable technical and management resources. If Anghami fails to maintain efficiency and allocate limited resources effectively in its organization as it grows, its business, operating results, and financial condition may suffer.

Anghami’s ability to increase the number of users will depend in part on its ability to distribute Anghami’s service, which may be affected by third-party interference beyond its control.

The use of Anghami’s service depends on the ability of its users to access the internet, Anghami’s website, and the Anghami app. Enterprises or professional organizations, including governmental agencies, could block access to the internet, Anghami’s website, and the Anghami application for a number of reasons such as security or confidentiality concerns or regulatory reasons that could adversely impact Anghami’s user base.

Additionally, Anghami distributes its application via smartphone and tablet application download stores managed by Amazon, Apple, Google, and Microsoft, among others. Certain of these companies are now, and others may in the future become, competitors of Anghami, and could stop allowing or supporting access to Anghami’s service through their products, could allow access for Anghami only at an unsustainable cost, or could make changes to the terms of access in order to make Anghami’s service less desirable or harder to access, for competitive reasons.

Anghami relies on advertising revenue from its Ad-Supported Free service, and any failure to convince advertisers of the benefits of the Ad-Supported Free service in the future could harm its business, operating results, and financial condition.

Anghami’s ability to attract and retain advertisers, and ultimately to generate advertising revenue, depends on a number of factors, including:

•        increasing the number of hours Ad-Supported Free service users spend listening to music or otherwise engaging with content;

•        increasing the number of Ad-Supported Free service users;

•        keeping up with advancements in technology;

•        competing effectively for advertising dollars from other online and mobile music streaming and media companies;

•        maintaining and growing relationships with marketers, agencies, and other demand sources who purchase advertising inventory from Anghami; and

•        continuing to develop and diversify Anghami’s advertisement platform, which currently includes delivery of advertising products through multiple delivery channels, including traditional computers, mobile, and other connected devices.

Anghami may not succeed in capturing a greater share of its advertisers’ core marketing budgets, particularly if it is unable to achieve the scale, reach, products, and market penetration necessary to demonstrate the effectiveness of its advertising solutions, or if its advertising model proves ineffective or not competitive when compared to other alternatives and platforms through which advertisers choose to invest their budgets. Failure to grow the Ad-Supported Free service user base and to effectively demonstrate the value of Anghami’s Ad-Supported Free service to advertisers could result in loss of, or reduced spending by, existing or potential future advertisers, which would materially harm Anghami’s business, operating results, and financial condition.

Negative media coverage could adversely affect Anghami’s business.

Anghami receives a high degree of media coverage in the MENA Operating Area. Unfavorable publicity regarding, for example, payments to music labels, publishers, artists, and other copyright owners, Anghami’s privacy practices, terms of service, service changes, service quality, litigation or regulatory activity, government surveillance, the actions of its advertisers, the actions of its developers whose services are integrated with Anghami’s service, the use of Anghami’s service for illicit, objectionable, or illegal ends, the actions of any users, the quality and integrity of content shared on Anghami’s service, or the actions of other companies that provide similar services to it, could

56

Table of Contents

materially adversely affect Anghami’s reputation. Such negative publicity also could have an adverse effect on the size, engagement, and loyalty of Anghami’s user base and result in decreased revenue, which would materially adversely affect its business, operating results, and financial condition.

Anghami’s business depends on a strong brand, and any failure to maintain, protect, and enhance the brand would hurt its ability to retain or expand its base of Ad-Supported Free service users, Premium service users, and advertisers.

Anghami has developed a strong brand that it believes has contributed significantly to the success of its business. Maintaining, protecting, and enhancing the “Anghami” brand is critical to expanding Anghami’s base of Ad-Supported Free service users, Premium service users, and advertisers, and will depend largely on its ability to continue to develop and provide an innovative and high-quality experience for its users and to attract advertisers, content owners, mobile device manufacturers, and other consumer electronic product manufacturers to work with it, which it may not do successfully. If Anghami does not successfully maintain a strong brand, its business could be harmed.

Anghami’s brand may be impaired by a number of other factors, including any failure to keep pace with technological advances on its platform or with its service, slower load times for its service, a decline in the quality or quantity of the content available, a failure to protect intellectual property rights, or any alleged violations of law, regulations, or public policy. Additionally, the actions of Anghami’s developers, advertisers, and content partners may affect its brand if users do not have a positive experience using third-party applications or websites integrated with Anghami or that make use of Anghami’s content.

Anghami’s trademarks, trade dress, and other designations of origin are important elements of its brand. Anghami has registered “Anghami” and other marks as trademarks in New York, UK, Switzerland, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan, and certain other jurisdictions. Nevertheless, competitors or other companies may adopt marks similar to Anghami, or use its marks and confusingly similar terms as keywords in internet search engine advertising programs, thereby impeding Anghami’s ability to build brand identity and possibly leading to confusion among its users. For instance, Anghami has filed a lawsuit against the Ministry of Commerce of Saudi Arabia for incorrectly registering the mark “Anghami” on behalf of another company in Saudi Arabia. See the section entitled “Information About Anghami — Legal Proceedings.” Anghami may also face opposition from third parties to its applications to register key trademarks in foreign jurisdictions in which it has expanded or may expand its presence. If Anghami is unsuccessful in defending against these oppositions, its trademark applications may be denied. Whether or not Anghami’s trademark applications are denied, third parties may claim that Anghami’s trademarks infringe upon their rights. As a result, Anghami could be forced to pay significant settlement costs or cease the use of these trademarks and associated elements of its brand in those or other jurisdictions. Doing so could harm Anghami’s brand or brand recognition and adversely affect its business, financial condition, and results of operation.

Various regulations related to privacy and data security concerns pose the threat of lawsuits and other liability, require Anghami to expend significant resources, and may harm its business, operating results, and financial condition.

Anghami collects and uses personal and other information from and about its users as they interact with Anghami’s Service. Various laws and regulations govern the collection, use, retention, sharing, and security of the data Anghami receives from and about its users. Privacy groups and government bodies have increasingly scrutinized the ways in which companies link personal identities and data associated with particular users or devices with data collected through the internet, and Anghami expects such scrutiny to continue to increase. Alleged violations of laws and regulations relating to privacy and data security, and any relevant claims, may expose Anghami to potential liability and may require it to expend significant resources in responding to and defending such allegations and claims. Claims or allegations that Anghami has violated laws and regulations relating to privacy and data security could in the future result in negative publicity and a loss of confidence by its users and partners. Such claims or allegations also may subject Anghami to fines, including by data protection authorities and credit card companies, and could result in the loss of its ability to accept credit and debit card payments.

Additionally, the regulatory framework for privacy issues worldwide is currently in flux and is likely to remain so for the foreseeable future. Anghami’s business, including its ability to operate and expand internationally, could be adversely affected if legislation or regulations are adopted, interpreted, or implemented in a manner that is

57

Table of Contents

inconsistent with its current business practices and that require changes to these practices, the design of Anghami’s website, services, features, or its privacy policy. Anghami’s business could be harmed by any significant change to applicable laws, regulations, or industry practices regarding the use of its users’ personal data, for example regarding the manner in which disclosures are made and how the express or implied consent of users for the use of personal data is obtained. Such changes may require Anghami to modify its services and features, possibly in a material manner, and may limit its ability to develop new services and features that make use of the data that users voluntarily share. In addition, some of Anghami’s developers or other partners, such as those that help measure the effectiveness of ads, may receive or store information provided by Anghami or by users through mobile or web applications integrated with Anghami’s service. Anghami provides limited information to such third parties based on the scope of services provided. However, if these third parties or developers fail to adopt or adhere to adequate data security practices, or in the event of a breach of their networks, Anghami’s data or its users’ data may be improperly accessed, used, or disclosed.

The European Union General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) came into effect on May 25, 2018 and required Anghami to change its privacy and data security practices. The GDPR implemented more stringent operational requirements for processors and controllers of personal data, including, for example, requiring expanded disclosures about how personal information is to be used, limitations on retention of information, mandatory data breach notification requirements, and higher standards for data controllers to demonstrate that they have obtained valid consent or have another legal basis in place to justify their data processing activities. The GDPR provides that EU member states may make their own additional laws and regulations in relation to certain data processing activities, which could limit its ability to use and share personal data or could require localized changes to its operating model. Under the GDPR, fines of up to €20 million or up to 4% of the total worldwide annual turnover of the preceding financial year, whichever is higher, may be assessed for non-compliance. These new laws also could cause Anghami’s costs to increase and result in further administrative costs to providing its service.

Anghami may find it necessary or desirable to join self-regulatory bodies or other privacy-related organizations that require compliance with their rules pertaining to privacy and data security. Anghami also may be bound by contractual obligations that limit its ability to collect, use, disclose, share, and leverage user data and to derive economic value from it. New laws, amendments to, or reinterpretations of existing laws, rules of self-regulatory bodies, industry standards, and contractual obligations, as well as changes in its users’ expectations and demands regarding privacy and data security, may limit its ability to collect, use, and disclose, and to leverage and derive economic value from user data. Restrictions on its ability to collect, access and harness user data, or to use or disclose user data or any profiles that Anghami develops using such data, may require Anghami to expend significant resources to adapt to these changes, and would in turn limit its ability to stream personalized music content to its users and offer targeted advertising opportunities to its Ad-Supported Free service users.

In addition, any failure or perceived failure by Anghami to comply with privacy or security laws, policies, legal obligations, industry standards, or any security incident that results in the unauthorized release or transfer of personal data may result in governmental enforcement actions and investigations, including fines and penalties, enforcement orders requiring Anghami to cease processing or operate in a certain way, litigation and/or adverse publicity, including by consumer advocacy groups, and could cause its customers to lose trust in Anghami, which could have an adverse effect on Anghami’s reputation and business. Such failures could have a material adverse effect on Anghami’s financial condition and operations. If the third parties Anghami works with (for example, cloud-based vendors) violate applicable laws or contractual obligations or suffer a security breach, such violations also may put Anghami in breach of its obligations under privacy laws and regulations and/or could in turn have a material adverse effect on its business.

Anghami has incurred, and will continue to incur, expenses to comply with privacy and security standards and protocols imposed by law, regulation, self-regulatory bodies, industry standards, and contractual obligations.

Increased regulation of data capture, analysis, and utilization and distribution practices, including self-regulation and industry standards, could increase Anghami’s cost of operation, limit its ability to grow its operations, or otherwise adversely affect its business, operating results, and financial condition.

Anghami is subject to a number of risks related to credit card and debit card payments it accepts.

Anghami accepts some payments through credit and debit card transactions. For credit and debit card payments, Anghami pays interchange and other fees, which may increase over time. An increase in those fees would require Anghami to either increase the prices it charges for the Premium service, which could cause us to lose Premium service users and subscription revenue, or suffer an increase in costs without a corresponding increase in the price, either of which could harm its business, operating results, and financial condition.

If Anghami or any of its service providers for payment processing services have problems with the billing software, or the billing software malfunctions, it could have a material adverse effect on Anghami’s user satisfaction and could cause one or more of the major credit card companies to disallow its continued use of their payment products. In addition, if Anghami’s billing software fails to work properly and, as a result, it does not automatically charge its Premium service user’s credit cards on a timely basis or at all, Anghami’s business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Anghami is also are subject to payment card association operating rules, certification requirements, and rules governing electronic funds transfers, which could change or be reinterpreted to make it more difficult for Anghami to comply. Additionally, if Anghami fails to adequately control fraudulent credit card transactions, it may face civil liability, diminished public perception of its security measures, and significantly higher credit card-related costs, each of which could adversely affect its business, financial condition, and results of operations. If Anghami is unable to maintain its chargeback rate or refund rates at acceptable levels, credit card and debit card companies may increase transaction fees or terminate their relationships with it, which would adversely affect its results of operations. The termination of Anghami’s ability to process payments on any major credit or debit card would significantly impair its ability to operate the business.

Anghami is subject to a number of risks related to other payment solution providers.

Anghami accepts payments through various payment solution providers, such as telco integrated billings and prepaid codes vendors. These payment solution providers provide services to Anghami in exchange for a fee and settlement terms, which may be subject to change, impacting Anghami’s profitability and cash position. Furthermore, Anghami relies on their accurate and timely reports on sales and redemptions. If such accurate and timely reports are not being provided, it will affect the accuracy of Anghami’s reports to its licensors, and also affect the accuracy of its financial reporting. In addition, Anghami’s ability to provide subscription service is dependent on the performance of such payment solution providers. If these service providers face technical issues that result in service downtime, Anghami’s ability to generate subscription revenue could be adversely impacted.

Emerging industry trends in digital advertising may pose challenges for Anghami’s ability to forecast or optimize its advertising inventory, which may adversely impact the Ad-Supported Free service revenue.

The digital advertising industry is introducing new ways to measure and price advertising inventory. In the absence of a uniform industry standard, agencies and advertisers have adopted several different measurement methodologies and standards. In addition, measurement services may require technological integrations, which are still being evaluated by the advertising industry without an agreed-upon industry standard metric. As these trends in the industry continue to evolve, Anghami’s advertising revenue may be adversely affected by the availability, accuracy, and utility of the available analytics and measurement technologies as well as its ability to successfully implement and operationalize such technologies and standards.

Further, the digital advertising industry is shifting to data-driven technologies and advertising products, such as automated buying. These data-driven advertising products and automated buying technologies allow publishers and advertisers to use data to target advertising toward specific groups of users who are more likely to be interested in the advertising message delivered to them. These advertising products and programmatic technologies are currently more developed in terms of advertising technology and industry adoption on the web than they are on mobile or on other software applications, and may not integrate with Anghami’s desktop software version of the Ad-Supported Free service. Because the majority of Anghami’s Ad-Supported Free service user hours occur on mobile devices, if Anghami is unable to deploy effective solutions to monetize the mobile device usage by Ad-Supported Free service user base, Anghami’s ability to attract advertising spend, and ultimately advertising revenue, may be adversely affected by this shift.

Anghami’s operating results may fluctuate, which makes its results difficult to predict.

Anghami’s revenue and operating results could vary significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year because of a variety of factors, many of which are outside its control. As a result, comparing Anghami’s operating results on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful. In addition to other risk factors discussed herein, factors that may contribute to the variability of Anghami’s quarterly and annual results include:

•        Anghami’s ability to retain current user base, increase the number of Ad-Supported Free service users and Premium service users, and increase users’ time spent streaming content;

•        Anghami’s ability to effectively manage growth;

•        Anghami’s ability to attract and retain existing advertisers and prove that its advertising products are effective enough to justify a pricing structure that is profitable;

•        the effects of increased competition on Anghami’s business;

•        Anghami’s ability to keep pace with changes in technology and competitors;

•        lack of accurate and timely reports and invoices from rights holders and partners;

•        interruptions in service, whether or not Anghami is responsible for such interruptions, and any related impact on its reputation;

•        Anghami’s ability to pursue and appropriately time its entry into new geographic or content markets and, if pursued, its management of this expansion;

•        costs associated with defending any litigation, including intellectual property infringement litigation;

•        the impact of general economic conditions on Anghami’s revenue and expenses; and

•        changes in regulations affecting Anghami’s business.

Seasonal variations in user and marketing behavior also may cause fluctuations in Anghami’s financial results. Anghami expects to experience some effects of seasonal trends in user behavior due to increased internet usage and sales of streaming service subscriptions and devices during holiday periods, such as New Year’s Eve, Eid, and Christmas. Anghami also may experience higher advertising sales during such increased usage periods, and incur greater marketing expenses as it attempts to attract new users and convert Ad-Supported Free service users to Premium service users. In addition, expenditures by advertisers tend to be cyclical and are often discretionary in nature, reflecting overall economic conditions, the economic prospects of specific advertisers or industries, budgeting constraints and buying patterns, and a variety of other factors, many of which are outside Anghami’s control.

Anghami may require additional capital to support business growth and objectives, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

Anghami intends to continue to make investments to support its business growth and may require additional funds to respond to business challenges, including the need to develop new features or enhance existing Anghami service, expand into additional markets around the world, improve infrastructure, or acquire complementary businesses and technologies. Accordingly, Anghami may need to engage, and have engaged, in equity and debt financings to secure additional funds. If Anghami raises additional funds through future issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, its existing shareholders could suffer additional significant dilution, and any new equity securities it issues could have rights, preferences, and privileges superior to those of holders of its common shares. Any debt financing Anghami secures in the future also could contain restrictive covenants relating to its capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for Anghami to obtain additional capital and pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. Anghami may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to it, if at all. If Anghami is unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to it when required, its ability to continue to support business growth, acquire or retain users, and respond to business challenges could be significantly impaired.

If Anghami does not receive previously agreed financial incentives from the Abu Dhabi Investment Office, the results of Anghami’s operations could be adversely affected.

Anghami’s headquarters are in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE, at the Abu Dhabi Global Market (“ADGM”). The Abu Dhabi Investment Office (“ADIO”), being the Abu Dhabi government’s investment attraction and development hub, has committed to providing up to approximately AED 60 million (which as of September 13, 2021 would have been approximately $16.5 million) in financial incentives to support the establishment, growth and development of our technology and research and development center in Abu Dhabi. Pursuant to the incentive programme agreement entered into between ADIO and Anghami, dated December 23, 2020, as amended on September 26, 2021, Anghami will be entitled to receive these financial incentives, in the form of rebates, only upon meeting certain performance metrics and conditions. These include, establishing the project plan (which includes setting up the new global headquarters in Abu Dhabi and moving personnel to such office), certain employment commitments and investment commitments. Based on these achievements, Anghami will have to submit quarterly financial reports and ADIO has the right to approve these reports and determine applicable rebates payable for such quarter. If Anghami is unable to meet these performance metrics or conditions in any quarter, or otherwise fails to receive the financial incentive payments, the results of Anghami’s operations could be adversely affected. In addition, Anghami has agreed to use reasonable efforts to explore a dual listing on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange if Anghami determines that a dual listing is in its best interest, subject to prevailing market conditions, within 18 months of entering into the agreement.

If currency exchange rates fluctuate substantially in the future, the results of Anghami’s operations could be adversely affected.

As Anghami continues to expand its international operations, it becomes increasingly exposed to the effects of fluctuations in currency exchange rates. Anghami incurs expenses for employee compensation, rental fees, and other operating expenses in the local currency, and an increasing percentage of its international revenue is from users who pay it in currencies other than U.S. dollars, including the Lebanese Pound, Egyptian Pound, Saudi Riyal, and UAE Dirham. Anghami’s principle foreign currency risk arises from Egyptian and Lebanese Pound denominated transactions. For instance, as at December 31, 2020, Anghami has had to reclass its bank balances in Lebanese Pounds equivalent of $161,525 to other financial assets due to significant devaluation of Lebanese Pounds against U.S. dollar caused by the ongoing political and economic situation in Lebanon. Anghami has also had to drop the value of contract assets denominated in Lebanese pounds resulting in $143,964 in foreign exchange loss during the year ended December 31, 2020. Fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other currencies may impact expenses as well as revenue, and consequently have an impact on margin and the reported operating results. This could have a negative impact on Anghami’s reported operating results. To date, Anghami has engaged in limited hedging strategies related to foreign exchange risk stemming from its operations. These strategies may include instruments such as foreign exchange forward contracts and options. However, these strategies should not be expected to fully eliminate the foreign exchange rate risk that Anghami is exposed to.

The ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the global attempt to contain it may harm Anghami’s industry, business, and results of operations.

The global spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) and the various attempts to contain it have created significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption. In an effort to contain COVID-19 or slow its spread, governments around the world have enacted various measures, some of which have been subsequently rescinded, modified or reinstated, including orders to close all businesses not deemed “essential,” isolate residents to their homes or places of residence, and practice social distancing. Anghami anticipates that these actions and the global health crisis caused by COVID-19, including any resurgences, as well as global impacts of the COVID-19 for instance, on the commodity prices of oil and gas, will continue to negatively impact business activity across the globe, including the MENA Region.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant negative impact on Anghami’s business and that of its customers. The direct impact on Anghami’s business, beyond disruptions in normal business operations, was driven by the reduced spending of major advertisers and consumer spending on discretionary items, which in turn adversely affected Anghami’s revenue from both Ad-Supported free service and Premium service. While many of Anghami’s advertisers have increased their advertising budget and there has been an increase in Anghami’s users’ engagement, these are still not at the pre-pandemic level. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, artists and other content creators have experienced delays or interruptions in their ability to create and release new content on the platform. The decrease in the amount or quality of content available on Anghami’s platform has adversely affected user

61

engagement and its financial performance. The COVID-19 pandemic also delayed Anghami’s fundraising process to the last quarter of 2020. However, the full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and the various responses to it impacts Anghami’s business, operations and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that it may not be able to accurately predict, including: the duration and scope of the pandemic; governmental, business and individuals’ actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to the pandemic; the availability and cost to access the capital markets; the effect on Anghami’s users and user demand for and ability to pay for Anghami’s services; and disruptions or restrictions on Anghami’s employees’ ability to work and travel. During the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, Anghami may not be able to provide the same level of customer service and product features that its users are used to which could negatively impact their perception of Anghami’s service resulting in an increase in cancellations. Furthermore, given increased government expenditures associated with their COVID-19 response, Anghami could see increased government obligations which could negatively impact its results of operations. Anghami will continue to actively monitor the issues raised by the COVID-19 pandemic and may take further actions that alter its business operations, as may be required by the authorities, or that it determines are in the best interests of its employees, users, rights holders, and partners.

The impact of worldwide economic conditions may adversely affect Anghami’s business, operating results, and financial condition.

Anghami’s financial performance is subject to worldwide economic conditions and their impact on levels of advertising spending. Expenditures by advertisers generally tend to reflect overall economic conditions, and to the extent that the economy continues to stagnate, reductions in spending by advertisers could have a material adverse impact on Anghami’s business. Historically, economic downturns have resulted in overall reductions in advertising spending. Economic conditions may adversely impact levels of consumer spending, which could adversely impact the number of users who purchase Anghami’s Premium services on its website and mobile application.

Consumer purchases of discretionary items generally decline during recessionary periods and other periods in which disposable income is adversely affected. To the extent that overall economic conditions reduce spending on discretionary activities, Anghami’s ability to retain current and obtain new Premium service users could be hindered, which could reduce its subscription revenue and negatively impact its business.

Anghami is a multinational company that faces complex taxation regimes in various jurisdictions. Audits, investigations, and tax proceedings could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Anghami is subject to income and non-income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Income tax accounting often involves complex issues, and judgment is required in determining Anghami’s worldwide provision for income taxes and other tax liabilities. Anghami regularly assesses the likely outcomes of these audits in order to determine the appropriateness of its tax reserves as well as tax liabilities going forward. In addition, the application of withholding tax, value added tax, goods and services tax, sales taxes and other non-income taxes is not always clear and Anghami may be subject to tax audits relating to such withholding or non-income taxes. Anghami believes that its tax positions are reasonable and that the tax reserves are adequate to cover any potential liability. However, tax authorities in certain jurisdictions may disagree with Anghami’s position, including the propriety of its related party arm’s length transfer pricing policies and the tax treatment of corresponding expenses and income. If any of these tax authorities were successful in challenging Anghami’s positions, Anghami may be liable for additional income tax and penalties and interest related thereto in excess of any reserves established therefor, which may have a significant impact on its results and operations and future cash flow.

Additionally, changes in tax laws, treaties, or regulations or their interpretation or enforcement are unpredictable. Any of these occurrences could have a material adverse effect on Anghami’s results of operations and financial condition.

The exercise of dissent and appraisal rights by Anghami’s shareholders may adversely affect the Combined Company

The Companies Act of the Cayman Islands provides members of a company a right to dissent from a merger and to demand that such company pay the fair value for their shares, as determined in a judicial proceeding, instead of the merger consideration offered to such members in connection with the merger, if they follow the statutory procedure.

If Anghami shareholders elect to dissent, a substantial cash payment may be required to be made to such dissenting shareholders that could have an adverse effect on Pubco and Anghami’s financial condition and cash resources once the Business Combination is completed.

Risks Related to Doing Business in Jurisdictions in Which Anghami Operates

Continued hostilities and unrest in the MENA Region or changes in the economic, social and political environment in the MENA Region could have an adverse impact on Anghami’s business.

It is difficult for Anghami to predict the consequences of any political and socio-economic change that may be brought about as a result of the unrest in several countries in the MENA Region, or what the implications of such changes will be on its operations given that legislative, tax and business environments can be altered quickly and dramatically. Accordingly, Anghami’s ability to operate its businesses regularly and its willingness to commit new resources or investments may be affected or disrupted, potentially with corresponding reductions in revenue, more aggressive taxation policies, increases in other expenses, restrictions on repatriating funds and difficulties in recruiting staff. Such risks may have a material adverse effect on Anghami’s business, financial condition, results of operations and/or prospects.

Additionally, as a substantial part of Anghami’s assets and operations are currently located in jurisdictions which are, have been, or could in the future be subject to political, economic and social instability, its operating results were and will be affected by any economic, social and political developments that affect each of the countries in which Anghami operates and, in particular, by the level of economic activity. Economic, social and political instability leads to uncertainty over future economic conditions and policy decisions. Prolonged disruptions of business operations due to any political or social instability could adversely affect Anghami’s business.

Further incidents of political or social instability, terrorism, protests or violence may directly or indirectly affect the economies of the markets in which Anghami operates, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on Anghami’s business, prospects, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

Anghami is subject to the economic and political conditions of operating in an emerging market and operates against a backdrop of continued instability and unrest in the Middle East.

Anghami headquarters are in the UAE and, accordingly, Anghami’s results of operations are, and will continue to be, generally affected by financial, economic and political developments in or affecting Abu Dhabi, the UAE and the Middle East. It is not possible to predict the occurrence of events or circumstances, such as war or hostilities, or the impact of such occurrences, and no assurance can be given that Anghami would be able to sustain the operation of its business if adverse political events or circumstances were to occur. A general downturn or instability in certain sectors of the UAE or the regional economy could have an adverse effect on Anghami’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Although economic growth rates in the UAE remain above those of many more developed, as well as regional, markets, the UAE has experienced slower economic growth in recent years, following the sharp decline in oil prices in recent years, which remain volatile and below historic highs. Economic growth or performance in the UAE, in general, may not be sustained. The UAE’s wealth remains largely based on oil and gas. Despite the UAE being viewed as being less vulnerable than some of its neighbors, due to the growth in the non-oil sector and the sizeable wealth of the government of Abu Dhabi, fluctuations in energy prices have an important bearing on economic growth. To the extent that economic growth or performance in the UAE subsequently declines, Anghami’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected. In addition, the implementation by the governments of the UAE of restrictive fiscal or monetary policies or regulations, including in respect of interest rates, or new legal interpretations of existing regulations and the introduction of taxation or exchange controls could have a material adverse effect on Anghami’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

While the UAE is seen as a relatively stable political environment, certain other jurisdictions in the Middle East are not and there is a risk that regional geopolitical instability could impact the UAE. Instability in the Middle East may result from a number of factors, including government or military regime change, civil unrest or terrorism. In particular, since early 2011 there has been political unrest in a range of countries in the MENA Region, including the

63

Table of Contents

Arab Republic of Egypt, Algeria, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Libya, the Kingdom of Bahrain, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Republic of Yemen, the Republic of Iraq (Kurdistan), Syria, Palestine, the Republic of Turkey, Tunisia and the Sultanate of Oman.

This unrest has ranged from public demonstrations to, in extreme cases, armed conflict (for example, the multinational conflict in Syria with Islamic State (also known as Daesh, ISIS or ISIL)) and the overthrow or potential overthrow of existing leadership in various countries and has given rise to increased political uncertainty across the region. Further, the UAE, along with other Arab states, is currently participating in the Saudi Arabian led intervention in the Republic of Yemen which began in 2015 in response to requests for assistance from the Yemeni government against the Al Houthi militia. The UAE is also a member of another Saudi Arabian led coalition formed in December 2015 to combat Islamic extremism and, in particular, Islamic State.

These situations have caused significant disruption to the economies of affected countries and have had a destabilizing effect on international oil and gas prices. Continued instability affecting the countries in the MENA Region could adversely impact the UAE although to date there has been no significant impact on the UAE. In particular, such continuing instability and unrest in the MENA Region may significantly affect the sectors in which Anghami does business, financial markets and the real economy generally. The consequences of such instability include a decrease in foreign direct investment into the region, capital outflows or increased volatility in the global and regional financial markets.

Any of the foregoing circumstances could have a material adverse effect on the political and economic stability of the Middle East and the UAE and, consequently, could have an adverse effect on Anghami’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

It is not possible to predict the occurrence of events or circumstances such as terrorism, war or hostilities, or more generally the financial, political and economic conditions prevailing from time to time, or the impact of such occurrences or conditions, and no assurance can be given that Anghami would be able to be profitable if adverse financial, political or economic events or circumstances were to occur. A general downturn or instability in certain sectors of the UAE or the regional economy, or political upheaval therein, could have an adverse effect on Anghami’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Investors should also note that Anghami’s business and financial performance could be adversely affected by political, economic or related developments both within and outside the MENA Region because of interrelationships within the global financial markets.

Prospective investors should also be aware that investments in emerging markets, such as the UAE, are subject to greater risks than those in more developed markets. The economy of the UAE, like those of many emerging markets, has been characterized by significant government involvement through direct ownership of enterprises and extensive regulation of market conditions, including foreign investment, foreign trade and financial services. While the policies of the local and central governments of the UAE generally resulted in improved economic performance in previous years, there can be no assurance that these levels of performance can be sustained.

Anghami’s business operations could be adversely affected by terrorist attacks and political instability, and other events beyond its control.

Terrorist activity in the MENA Region stemming from the ongoing political instability and civil war in certain countries, including Syria and Iraq, has had an adverse effect on consumer appetite and demand in general. There have been a number of terrorist attacks in various countries, which are claimed to be conducted by the terrorist organization and despite the recent loss of military might and territory of such organization in Syria and Iraq, there is no assurance that no such attempts will be carried out in the near future. The MENA Region has generally also experienced domestic political instability caused by ethnic separatist groups. Anghami’s business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity could be adversely affected if such terrorist activity heightens and spreads into cities where Anghami operates.

Anghami does business in locations where it is exposed to a greater-than-average risk of adverse sovereign action.

Anghami does business in locations where it is exposed to a greater-than-average risk of adverse sovereign action, including overt or effective expropriation or nationalization of property. Furthermore, relatively high commodity prices and other factors in recent years have resulted in increased resource nationalization in some countries, with governments repudiating or renegotiating contracts with, and expropriating assets from, companies that are

64

Table of Contents

producing in such countries. Governments in these countries may decide not to recognize previous arrangements if they regard them as no longer being in the national interest. Governments may also implement export controls on commodities regarded by them as strategic or place restrictions on foreign ownership or operation of strategic assets. Governments of the countries in which Anghami operates may adopt nationalization, expropriation, or export control policies going forward. Expropriation of assets, renegotiation or nullification of existing agreements, leases or permits by the governments of counties in which Anghami operates, could each have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, financial condition and/or prospects.

Additionally, although not direct sovereign actions, certain countries have passed laws to favor their own economic growth. For instance, Saudi Arabia will no longer sign contracts with foreign companies that do not have regional headquarters in the kingdom after 2023. If the governments of counties in which Anghami operates create similar requirements, Anghami could be required to expend additional resources to meet such requirements and this could adversely affect its business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Anghami operates in regions where corrupt behavior exists that could impair its ability to do business in the future or result in significant fines or penalties.

Anghami does business, and may continue to do business in the future, in countries and regions where governmental corruption has been known to exist, and where it may face, directly or indirectly, corrupt demands by officials, or the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by one of its employees, consultants, sponsors or agents. Our existing anti-corruption safeguards and policies and any future improvements thereon may prove to be not fully effective in preventing such unauthorized payments, and its employees and consultants may engage in conduct for which Anghami might be held responsible. While Anghami is committed to conducting business in a legal and ethical manner, there is a risk of violating applicable anti-corruption regulations that generally prohibit the making of improper payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or keeping business. Violation of these laws may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions or other liabilities that could materially damage Anghami’s reputation and, therefore, its business, results of operations and financial condition.

Risks Related to Pubco’s Status as a Foreign Private Issuer

As a foreign private issuer, Pubco will be exempt from a number of U.S. securities laws and rules promulgated thereunder and will be permitted to publicly disclose less information than U.S. public companies must. This may limit the information available to holders of the Pubco Ordinary Shares.

Pubco will qualify as a “foreign private issuer,” as defined in the SEC’s rules and regulations, and, consequently, Pubco will not be subject to all of the disclosure requirements applicable to public companies organized within the United States. For example, Pubco will be exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act that regulate disclosure obligations and procedural requirements related to the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations applicable to a security registered under the Exchange Act. In addition, Pubco’s officers and directors are exempt from the reporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and related rules with respect to their purchases and sales of Pubco’s securities. For example, some of Pubco’s key executives may sell a significant amount of Pubco Ordinary Shares and such sales will not be required to be disclosed as promptly as public companies organized within the United States would have to disclose. Accordingly, once such sales are eventually disclosed, the price of Pubco Ordinary Shares may decline significantly. Moreover, Pubco will not be required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. public companies. Pubco will also not be subject to Regulation FD under the Exchange Act, which would prohibit Pubco from selectively disclosing material nonpublic information to certain persons without concurrently making a widespread public disclosure of such information. Accordingly, there may be less publicly available information concerning Pubco than there is for U.S. public companies.

As a foreign private issuer, Pubco will file an annual report on Form 20-F within four months of the close of each fiscal year ended December 31 and furnish reports on Form 6-K relating to certain material events promptly after Pubco publicly announces these events. However, because of the above exemptions for foreign private issuers, which Pubco intends to rely on, Pubco shareholders will not be afforded the same information generally available to investors holding shares in public companies that are not foreign private issuers.

65

Table of Contents

Pubco may lose its foreign private issuer status in the future, which could result in significant additional costs and expenses. This would subject Pubco to U.S. GAAP reporting requirements which may be difficult for it to comply with.

As a “foreign private issuer,” Pubco would not be required to comply with all of the periodic disclosure and current reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and related rules and regulations. Under those rules, the determination of foreign private issuer status is made annually on the last business day of an issuer’s most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and, accordingly, the next determination will be made with respect to Pubco on June 30, 2022.

In the future, Pubco could lose its foreign private issuer status if a majority of its ordinary shares are held by residents in the United States and it fails to meet any one of the additional “business contacts” requirements. Although Pubco intends to follow certain practices that are consistent with U.S. regulatory provisions applicable to U.S. companies, Pubco’s loss of foreign private issuer status would make such provisions mandatory. The regulatory and compliance costs to Pubco under U.S. securities laws if it is deemed a U.S. domestic issuer may be significantly higher. If Pubco is not a foreign private issuer, Pubco will be required to file periodic reports and prospectuses on U.S. domestic issuer forms with the SEC, which are more detailed and extensive than the forms available to a foreign private issuer. For example, Pubco would become subject to the Regulation FD, aimed at preventing issuers from making selective disclosures of material information. Pubco also may be required to modify certain of its policies to comply with good governance practices associated with U.S. domestic issuers. Such conversion and modifications will involve additional costs. In addition, Pubco may lose its ability to rely upon exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq that are available to foreign private issuers. For example, Nasdaq’s corporate governance rules require listed companies to have, among other things, a majority of independent board members and independent director oversight of executive compensation, nomination of directors, and corporate governance matters. Nasdaq rules also require shareholder approval of certain share issuances, including approval of equity compensation plans. As a foreign private issuer, Pubco would be permitted to follow home country practice in lieu of the above requirements. As long as Pubco relies on the foreign private issuer exemption to certain of Nasdaq’s corporate governance standards, a majority of the directors on its board of directors are not required to be independent directors, its remuneration committee is not required to be comprised entirely of independent directors and it will not be required to have a nominating and corporate governance committee. Also, Pubco would be required to change its basis of accounting from IFRS as issued by the IASB to U.S. GAAP, which may be difficult and costly for it to comply with. If Pubco loses its foreign private issuer status and fails to comply with U.S. securities laws applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, Pubco may have to de-list from Nasdaq and could be subject to investigation by the SEC, Nasdaq and other regulators, among other materially adverse consequences.

Because Pubco is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, you may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. Federal courts may be limited.

Pubco is an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon Pubco’s directors or officers, or enforce judgments obtained in the United States courts against Pubco’s directors or officers.

Pubco’s corporate affairs will be governed by its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Law (as the same may be supplemented or amended from time to time) and the common law of the Cayman Islands. Pubco will also be subject to the federal securities laws of the United States. The rights of shareholders to take action against the directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of Pubco’s directors to Pubco under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from English common law, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of Pubco’s shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of Pubco’s directors under Cayman Islands law are different from what they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a different body of securities laws as compared to the United States, and certain states, such as Delaware, may have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholders derivative action in a Federal court of the United States.

Table of Contents

Pubco has been advised by Maples and Calder (Dubai) LLP, its Cayman Islands legal counsel, that the courts of the Cayman Islands are unlikely (i) to recognize or enforce against it judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state; and (ii) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, to impose liabilities against it predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state, so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature. In those circumstances, although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, the courts of the Cayman Islands will recognize and enforce a foreign money judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay the sum for which judgment has been given provided certain conditions are met. For a foreign judgment to be enforced in the Cayman Islands, such judgment must be final and conclusive and for a liquidated sum, and must not be in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty, inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment in respect of the same matter, impeachable on the grounds of fraud or obtained in a manner, or be of a kind the enforcement of which is, contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands (awards of punitive or multiple damages may well be held to be contrary to public policy). A Cayman Islands court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.

As a result of all of the above, public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by management, members of the board of directors or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a corporation incorporated in the United States.

It may be difficult to enforce a U.S. judgment against Pubco or its directors and officers outside the United States, or to assert U.S. securities law claims outside of the United States.

A number of Pubco directors and executive officers are not residents of the United States, and the majority of its assets and the assets of these persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for investors to effect service of process upon Pubco within the United States or other jurisdictions, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States. Additionally, it may be difficult to assert U.S. securities law claims in actions originally instituted outside of the United States. Foreign courts may refuse to hear a U.S. securities law claim because foreign courts may not be the most appropriate forum in which to bring such a claim. Even if a foreign court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that the law of the jurisdiction in which the foreign court resides, and not U.S. law, is applicable to the claim. Further, if U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proved as a fact, which can be a time-consuming and costly process, and certain matters of procedure would still be governed by the law of the jurisdiction in which the foreign court resides. See the section entitled “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities under U.S. Securities Law.

As a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, Pubco is permitted to adopt certain home country practices in relation to corporate governance matters that differ significantly from Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards; these practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they would enjoy if Pubco complied fully with Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards.

Pubco is a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, and has applied for listing of the Pubco Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq. Nasdaq market rules permit a foreign private issuer like Pubco to follow the corporate governance practices of its home country. Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands, which is Pubco’s home country, may differ significantly from Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards.

Among others, we are not required to: (i) have a majority of the board be independent; (ii) have a compensation committee consisting entirely of independent directors; (iii) have a minimum of three members on the audit committee; (iv) obtain shareholders’ approval for issuance of securities in certain situations; or (v) have regularly scheduled executive sessions with only independent directors each year.

Provisions in the Pubco’s governance documents may inhibit a takeover of Pubco, which could limit the price investors might be willing to pay in the future for Pubco Ordinary Shares and could entrench management.

Pubco’s governance documents will contain provisions that may discourage unsolicited takeover proposals that shareholders may consider to be in their best interests. These provisions include that Pubco’s board of directors will be classified into three classes of directors. As a result, in most circumstances, a person can gain control of the board only by successfully engaging in a proxy contest at two or more annual general meetings. Pubco may issue additional shares without shareholder approval and such additional shares could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The ability for Pubco to issue additional shares could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise that could involve the payment of a premium over prevailing market prices for Pubco Ordinary Shares.

Risks Related to VMAC and the Business Combination

Because Pubco will become a public reporting company by means other than a traditional underwritten initial public offering, the shareholders of Pubco may face additional risks and uncertainties.

Because Pubco will become a public reporting company by means of consummating the Business Combination rather than by means of a traditional underwritten initial public offering, there is no independent third-party underwriter selling Pubco’s ordinary shares, and, accordingly, the shareholders of Pubco will not have the benefit of an independent review and investigation of the type normally performed by an unaffiliated, independent underwriter in a public securities offering. Due diligence reviews typically include an independent investigation of the background of the company, any advisors and their respective affiliates, review of the offering documents and independent analysis of the plan of business and any underlying financial assumptions. Because there is no independent third-party underwriter selling Pubco’s Ordinary Shares, VMAC Stockholders must rely on the information included in this proxy statement/prospectus. Although VMAC’s management conducted a due diligence review and investigation of Anghami in connection with the Business Combination, the lack of an independent due diligence review and investigation increases the risk of investment in Pubco because it may not have uncovered facts that would be important to a potential investor.

Moreover, the shareholders of Pubco will not benefit from possible recourse against an underwriter for material misstatements or omissions in this prospectus or additional roles of the underwriters in a traditional underwritten initial public offering, such as the book-building process, which helps inform efficient price discovery, and underwriter support to help stabilize the public price of the new issue immediately after listing. The lack of such recourse process and support in connection with Pubco’s Ordinary Shares could result in greater potential for errors, diminished investor demand, inefficiencies in pricing and a more volatile public price for the shares during the period immediately following the listing.

In addition, because Pubco will not become a public reporting company by means of a traditional underwritten initial public offering, security or industry analysts may not provide, or be less likely to provide, coverage of Pubco. Investment banks may also be less likely to agree to underwrite secondary offerings on behalf of Pubco than they might if Pubco became a public reporting company by means of a traditional underwritten initial public offering, because they may be less familiar with Pubco as a result of more limited coverage by analysts and the media. The failure to receive research coverage or support in the market for Pubco’s Ordinary Shares could have an adverse effect on Pubco’s ability to develop a liquid market for Pubco’s Ordinary Shares.

Until the earlier of the Closing of the Business Combination or termination of the Business Combination Agreement, VMAC and Anghami are prohibited from entering into certain transactions that might otherwise be beneficial to VMAC, Anghami or their respective shareholders.

Until the earlier of the Closing of the Business Combination or termination of the Business Combination Agreement (the “Pre-Closing Period”), VMAC and Anghami are subject to certain limitations on the operations of their businesses. The limitations on VMAC’s and Anghami’s conduct of their businesses during this period could have the effect of delaying or preventing other strategic transactions and may, in some cases, make it impossible to pursue business opportunities that are available only for a limited time.

68

Table of Contents

Uncertainties about the Business Combination during the Pre-Closing Period may cause third parties to delay or defer decisions concerning Anghami or seek to change existing arrangements.

There may be uncertainty regarding whether the Business Combination will occur. This uncertainty may cause third parties to delay or defer decisions concerning Anghami, which could negatively affect Anghami’s business. Third parties may seek to change existing agreements with Anghami as a result of the Business Combination or other reasons.

VMAC may not be able to complete its initial business combination prior to February 11, 2022, in which case VMAC would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and VMAC would redeem its public shares and liquidate, in which case VMAC’s public stockholders may only receive $10.00 per share, or less than such amount in certain circumstances, and its warrants will expire worthless.

The VMAC Charter provides that VMAC must complete its initial business combination by February 11, 2022 (the deadline after use of the second of two three-month extensions permitted under VMAC’s governing documents). VMAC may not be able to complete its initial business combination within such time period. VMAC’s ability to complete its initial business combination may be negatively impacted by general market conditions, volatility in the capital and debt markets and the other risks described herein. If VMAC has not completed its initial business combination within such time period, it will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to the Corporation (as defined in the VMAC Charter) to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (B) the total number of then outstanding Offering Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the Public Stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of VMAC’s remaining stockholders and VMAC’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to VMAC’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such case, the Public Stockholders may only receive $10.00 per share, and VMAC’s warrants will expire worthless. In certain circumstances, the Public Stockholders may receive less than $10.00 per share on the redemption of their shares.

If the Stockholder Adjournment Proposal is not approved, and an insufficient number of votes have been obtained to authorize the consummation of the Business Combination, the board will not have the ability to adjourn the special meeting to a later date in order to solicit further votes, and, therefore, the Business Combination will not be approved.

VMAC’s board of directors is seeking approval to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates if, at the special meeting, the Business Combination Proposal is not approved. If the Stockholder Adjournment Proposal is not approved, VMAC’s board of directors will not have the ability to adjourn the special meeting to a later date, and, therefore, the Business Combination would not be completed.

The ability of the Public Stockholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock could increase the probability that the Business Combination will be unsuccessful and that VMAC’s stockholders will have to wait for liquidation in order to redeem their Public Shares.

Since the Business Combination Agreement requires that VMAC have, in the aggregate, cash (held both in and outside of the Trust Account) that is equal to or greater than $40 million, the probability that the Business Combination will be unsuccessful is increased if a large number of the Public Shares are tendered for redemption. If the Business Combination is unsuccessful, the Public Stockholders will not receive their pro rata portion of the Trust Account until the Trust Account is liquidated. If the Public Stockholders are in need of immediate liquidity, they could attempt to sell their Public Shares in the open market; however, at such time, the VMAC Class A Common Stock may trade at a discount to the pro rata per share amount in the Trust Account. In either situation, VMAC’s stockholders may suffer a material loss on their investment or lose the benefit of funds expected in connection with the redemption until VMAC is liquidated or VMAC’s stockholders are able to sell their Public Shares in the open market.

If a stockholder fails to receive notice of VMAC’s offer to redeem its Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination, or fails to comply with the procedures for tendering its shares, such shares may not be redeemed.

This proxy statement/prospectus describes the various procedures that must be complied with in order for a Public Stockholder to validly redeem its Public Shares. In the event that a stockholder fails to comply with these procedures, its shares may not be redeemed.

You will not have any rights or interests in funds from the trust account, except under certain limited circumstances. To liquidate your investment, therefore, you may be forced to sell your public shares or warrants, potentially at a loss.

The Public Stockholders will be entitled to receive funds from the trust account only upon the earliest to occur of: (a) the completion of VMAC’s initial business combination, (b) the redemption of any Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the VMAC Charter (i) to modify the substance or timing of VMAC’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with its initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if it does not complete its initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of its IPO or (ii) with respect to any other provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity and (c) the redemption of the Public Shares if VMAC is unable to complete its business combination within 18 months from the closing of its IPO, subject to applicable law. Stockholders who do not exercise their rights to the funds in connection with an amendment to VMAC’s certificate of incorporation would still have rights to the funds in connection with a subsequent business combination. In no other circumstances will a public stockholder have any right or interest of any kind in the trust account. Accordingly, to liquidate your investment, you may be forced to sell your public shares or warrants, potentially at a loss.

If VMAC’s stockholders fail to properly demand redemption rights, they will not be entitled to redeem their public shares for a pro rata portion of the trust account.

Stockholders holding public shares may demand that VMAC redeem their public shares for a pro rata portion of the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. Stockholders who seek to exercise this redemption right must deliver their VMAC Class A Common Stock (either physically or electronically) to the Transfer Agent prior to the vote at the special meeting. Any stockholder who fails to properly demand redemption rights will not be entitled to redeem his, her or its public shares for a pro rata portion of the trust account. See the section entitled “The Special Meeting of VMAC Stockholders — Redemption Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your public shares for cash.

Stockholders, together with any affiliate or any other person with whom he, she or it is acting in concert or as a partnership, syndicate or other group, will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 20% of the issued and outstanding public shares.

A stockholder, together with any affiliate or any other person with whom he, or she is acting in concert or as a partnership, syndicate, or other group, will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 20% of the issued and outstanding public shares. Accordingly, if you hold more than 20% of the public shares and the Business Combination Proposal is approved, you will not be able to seek redemption rights with respect to the full amount of your public shares and may be forced to hold the public shares in excess of 20% or sell them in the open market. VMAC cannot assure you that the value of such excess public shares will appreciate over time following the Business Combination or that the market price of the VMAC Class A Common Stock will exceed the per-share redemption price.

The Sponsor and VMAC’s directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may elect to purchase shares from Public Stockholders, which may influence a vote on a proposed business combination and reduce the public “float” of VMAC Class A Common Stock.

The Sponsor and VMAC’s directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase shares of VMAC Common Stock in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market prior to the completion of the Business Combination, although they are under no obligation to do so. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such stockholder, although still the record holder of such shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and

70

Table of Contents

therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that the Sponsor and VMAC’s directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from Public Stockholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling stockholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of such purchases could be to vote such shares in favor of the Business Combination and thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the Business Combination, or to satisfy the closing condition in the Business Combination Agreement that requires VMAC to have a minimum amount of cash at the Closing. This may result in the completion of the Business Combination that may not otherwise have been possible.

In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of VMAC Class A Common Stock and the number of beneficial holders of VMAC’s securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult for Pubco to obtain the quotation, listing or trading of its securities on a national securities exchange.

If a stockholder or a “group” of stockholders are deemed to hold in excess of 20% of VMAC Class A Common Stock, such stockholder or group will lose the ability to redeem all such shares in excess of 20% of VMAC Class A Common Stock.

The VMAC Charter provides that a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the shares sold in VMAC’s IPO, which VMAC refers to as the “Excess Shares.” However, VMAC would not be restricting its stockholders’ ability to vote all of their shares (including Excess Shares) for or against its business combination. The inability of a stockholder to redeem the Excess Shares will reduce its influence over VMAC’s ability to complete its business combination and such stockholder could suffer a material loss on its investment in VMAC if it sells Excess Shares in open market transactions. Additionally, such stockholder will not receive redemption distributions with respect to the Excess Shares if VMAC completes its business combination. And as a result, such stockholder will continue to hold that number of shares exceeding 20% and, in order to dispose of such shares, would be required to sell its stock in open market transactions, potentially at a loss.

VMAC’s directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of the Sponsor, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the trust account available for distribution to VMAC’s public stockholders.

In the event that the proceeds in the trust account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case, less taxes payable, and VMAC’s Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, VMAC’s independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations.

While VMAC currently expects that its independent directors would take legal action on its behalf against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to VMAC, it is possible that VMAC’s independent directors. In exercising their business judgment and subject to their fiduciary duties, may choose not to do so in any particular instance. If VMAC’s independent directors choose not to enforce these indemnification obligations, the amount of funds in the trust account available for distribution to VMAC’s public stockholders may be reduced below $10.00 per share.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to the Public Stockholders, VMAC files a voluntary bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against VMAC that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of VMAC’s stockholders and the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by VMAC’s stockholders in connection with VMAC’s liquidation may be reduced.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to the Public Stockholders, VMAC files a voluntary bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against VMAC that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in VMAC’s bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of VMAC’s stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by VMAC’s stockholders in connection with VMAC’s liquidation may be reduced.

VMAC’s stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against VMAC to the extent of distributions received by them upon redemption of their shares.

Under the DGCL, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. The pro rata portion of the Trust Account distributed to its Public Stockholders upon the redemption of the Public Shares in the event VMAC does not complete its initial business combination by February 11, 2022 (or such later date that may be approved by VMAC’s stockholders), may be considered a liquidation distribution under Delaware law. If a corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution. However, it is VMAC’s intention to redeem its Public Shares as soon as reasonably possible following February 11, 2022 (or such later date that may be approved by VMAC’s stockholders), in the event VMAC does not complete its business combination and, therefore, VMAC does not intend to comply with those procedures.

Because VMAC will not be complying with Section 280, Section 281(b) of the DGCL requires VMAC to adopt a plan, based on facts known to VMAC at such time that will provide for its payment of all existing and pending claims or claims that may be potentially brought against VMAC within the 10 years following its dissolution. However, because VMAC is a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and VMAC’s operations are limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from VMAC’s vendors (such as lawyers, investment bankers, etc.) or prospective target businesses. If VMAC’s plan of distribution complies with Section 281(b) of the DGCL, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would likely be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution. VMAC cannot assure you that it will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against it. As such, VMAC’s stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of VMAC’s stockholders may extend beyond the third anniversary of such date. Furthermore, if the pro rata portion of the Trust Account distributed to the Public Stockholders upon the redemption of the Public Shares in the event VMAC does not complete its initial business combination by February 11, 2022, or such later date that may be approved by VMAC’s stockholders, is not considered a liquidation distribution under Delaware law and such redemption distribution is deemed to be unlawful, then pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, the statute of limitations for claims of creditors could then be six years after the unlawful redemption distribution, instead of three years, as in the case of a liquidation distribution.

VMAC’s stockholders cannot be sure of the market value of the Pubco Ordinary Shares to be issued upon completion of the Business Combination.

The holders of shares of VMAC Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Vistas Merger Effective Time (other than any redeemed shares) will receive one Pubco Ordinary Share in exchange for each share of VMAC Class A Common Stock held by them, rather than a number of shares with a particular fixed market value. The market value of VMAC Common Stock at the time of the Business Combination may vary significantly from its price on the date the Business Combination Agreement was executed, the date of the Registration Statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part or the date on which VMAC stockholders vote on the Business Combination. Because the exchange ratio of the shares will not be adjusted to reflect any changes in the market prices of VMAC Common Stock, the market value of the Pubco Ordinary Shares issued in the Business Combination and the VMAC Common Stock surrendered in the Business Combination may be higher or lower than the value of these shares on earlier dates. 100% of the consideration to be received by VMAC’s stockholders will be Pubco Ordinary Shares. Following consummation of the Business Combination, the market price of Pubco’s securities may be influenced by many factors, some of which are beyond its control, including those described above and the following:

•        changes in financial estimates by analysts;

•        announcements by it or its competitors of significant contracts, productions, acquisitions or capital commitments;

72

Table of Contents

•        fluctuations in its quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to it;

•        general economic conditions;

•        changes in market valuations of similar companies;

•        terrorist acts;

•        changes in its capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;

•        future sales of Pubco Ordinary Shares;

•        regulatory developments in the United States, foreign countries or both;

•        litigation involving Pubco, its subsidiaries or its general industry; and

•        additions or departures of key personnel.

In addition, it is possible that the Business Combination may not be completed until a significant period of time has passed after the special meeting of VMAC’s stockholders. As a result, the market value of VMAC Common Stock may vary significantly from the date of the special meeting to the date of the completion of the Business Combination. You are urged to obtain up-to-date prices for VMAC Common Stock. There is no assurance that the Business Combination will be completed, that there will not be a delay in the completion of the Business Combination or that all or any of the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination will be obtained.

The Pubco Ordinary Shares to be received by VMAC’s stockholders as a result of the Business Combination will have different rights from shares of VMAC Common Stock.

Following completion of the Business Combination, the Public Stockholders will no longer be stockholders of VMAC but will instead be shareholders of Pubco. There will be important differences between your current rights as a VMAC stockholder and your rights as a Pubco shareholder. See the section entitled “Comparison of Shareholder Rights” for a discussion of the different rights associated with the securities.

VMAC’s Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how the Public Stockholders vote.

Unlike many other blank check companies in which the Initial Stockholders agree to vote their Founder Shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the Public Stockholders in connection with an initial business combination, VMAC’s Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to vote their VMAC Class B Common Stock (also referred to as Founder Shares), as well as any Public Shares purchased during or after VMAC’s IPO, in favor of the Business Combination, and own 21.1% of the outstanding shares of VMAC Common Stock. Accordingly, it is more likely that the necessary stockholder approval to complete the Business Combination will be received than would be the case if VMAC’s Sponsor, officers and directors agreed to vote their VMAC Class B Common Stock in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the Public Stockholders.

The exercise of discretion by VMAC’s directors and officers in agreeing to changes to the terms of or waivers of closing conditions in the Business Combination Agreement may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in the best interests of VMAC Stockholders.

In the period leading up to the Closing, other events may occur that, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, would require VMAC to agree to amend the Business Combination Agreement, to consent to certain actions or to waive rights that VMAC is entitled to under those agreements. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of Anghami’s business, a request by Anghami to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the Business Combination Agreement or the occurrence of other events that would have a material adverse effect on Anghami’s business and would entitle us to terminate the Business Combination Agreement. In any of such circumstances, it would be in VMAC’s discretion, acting through its board of directors, to grant VMAC’s consent or waive its rights. The existence of the financial and personal interests of the directors described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or

73

Table of Contents

more of the directors between what he may believe is best for VMAC and its securityholders and what he may believe is best for himself or his affiliates in determining whether or not to take the requested action. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, VMAC does not believe there will be any changes or waivers that its directors and officers would be likely to make after stockholder approval of the Business Combination has been obtained. While certain changes could be made without further stockholder approval, if there is a change to the terms of the transaction that would have a material impact on the stockholders, VMAC will be required to circulate a new or amended proxy statement/prospectus or supplement thereto and resolicit the vote of its stockholders with respect to the Business Combination Proposal.

VMAC’s board of directors did not obtain a fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination and, as a result, the terms may not be fair from a financial point of view to the Public Stockholders.

In analyzing the Business Combination, the VMAC board of directors conducted significant due diligence on Anghami. For a complete discussion of the factors utilized by VMAC’s board of directors in approving the Business Combination, see the section entitled “The Business Combination — VMAC Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination.” The VMAC board of directors believes because of the financial skills and background of its directors, it was qualified to conclude that the Business Combination was fair from a financial perspective to its stockholders and that Anghami’s fair market value was at least 80% of VMAC’s net assets (excluding deferred underwriting discounts and commissions). Notwithstanding the foregoing, VMAC’s board of directors did not obtain a fairness opinion to assist it in its determination. Accordingly, VMAC’s board of directors may be incorrect in its assessment of the Business Combination.

The Sponsor and VMAC’s executive officers and directors have potential conflicts of interest in recommending that stockholders vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal and approval of the other proposals described in the Registration Statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part.

In considering the recommendation of VMAC’s board to vote in favor of the Business Combination, stockholders should be aware that, aside from their interests as stockholders, the Sponsor and certain of VMAC’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of other stockholders generally. VMAC’s directors were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating the Business Combination, in recommending to stockholders that they approve the Business Combination and in agreeing to vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination. Stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Business Combination. These interests include, among other things:

•        If the Business Combination with Anghami or another business combination is not consummated by February 11, 2022 (or such later date that may be approved by VMAC’s stockholders), VMAC will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding VMAC public shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the Founder Shares held by the Sponsor and VMAC’s directors and officers, which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to the IPO, would be worthless because the holders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. Such shares had an aggregate market value of $25,350,000 based upon the closing price of $10.14 per share on Nasdaq on November 4, 2021. On the other hand, if the Business Combination is consummated, each outstanding share of VMAC Common Stock will be converted into the right to receive one share of Pubco pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement.

•        The Sponsor purchased 500,000 Private Placement Warrants from VMAC for $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant. This purchase took place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO. All of the proceeds VMAC received from these purchases were placed in the trust account. Such Private Placement Warrants had an aggregate market value of $465,000 based upon the closing price of $0.93 per warrant on Nasdaq on November 4, 2021. The VMAC Class A Common Stock underlying the Private Placement Warrants had an aggregate market value of $5,070,000 based upon the closing price of $10.14 per share on Nasdaq on November 4, 2021. The Private Placement Warrants and VMAC Class A Common Stock underlying the Private Placement Warrants will become

74

Table of Contents

worthless if VMAC does not consummate a business combination by February 11, 2022 (or such later date that may be approved by VMAC’s stockholders). On the other hand, if the Business Combination is consummated, each outstanding warrant will be converted into the right to acquire the same number of Pubco Ordinary Shares, at the same exercise price and on the same terms as in effect immediately prior to the Closing.

•        VMAC’s Initial Stockholders and owners of Private Placement Warrants paid significantly less for their shares and warrants than other current stockholders and holders of warrants paid for their shares and warrants purchased in the IPO or in the open market thereafter. Prior to the consummation of the IPO, Sponsor purchased 2,875,000 Founder Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.009 per share. Of these Founder Shares, 375,000 were forfeited by our Sponsor due to the underwriters’ not exercising the over-allotment option in connection with the IPO. Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, VMAC consummated the private sale of 500,000 Private Placement Warrants to Sponsor, each of which entitles the holder to purchase one share of VMAC Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, at a price of $1.00 per warrant. Each outstanding Pubco Ordinary Share will have a target value at the time of the Business Combination of $10.00. If the Business Combination is consummated, based on the difference in the purchase price of $0.009 per share that the Sponsor paid for the Founder Shares, as compared to the purchase price of $10.00 per Unit sold in the IPO, these initial stockholders and holders of Private Placement Warrants will be able, at a lower price per Pubco Ordinary Share, to recognize a greater return on their investment than stockholders or holders of warrants that purchased VMAC Common Stock or VMAC warrants in the IPO or in the open market thereafter. Furthermore, the Sponsor may earn a positive rate of return even if the price of the Pubco Ordinary Shares after the Closing falls below the price initially paid for the units in the IPO and the VMAC Stockholders may experience a negative rate of return following the Closing of the Business Combination.

•        If VMAC is unable to complete a business combination within the required time period, the aggregate dollar amount of non-reimbursable funds is $27,065,000, comprised of (a) $25,350,000 representing the market value of Founder Shares, (b) $465,000 representing the market value of Private Placement Warrants and (c) $1,250,000 of unpaid expenses incurred by the Sponsor and VMAC’s officers and directors and their affiliates. Certain VMAC directors and executive officers have indirect economic interests in the Private Placement Warrants and in the Founder Shares.

•        The Sponsor has agreed not to redeem any shares of VMAC Common Stock held by it in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination,

•        The VMAC Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if VMAC fails to complete an initial business combination by February 11, 2022 (or such later date that may be approved by VMAC’s stockholders),

•        The potential continuation of certain of VMAC’s directors and officers as directors or officers of Pubco.

•        The continued indemnification of current directors and officers of VMAC and the continuation of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination.

•        The Sponsor has agreed to loan VMAC up to $300,000 in the aggregate, to be used for a portion of the expenses of the Public Offering. The Sponsor also agreed to loan an additional $1,000,000 in connection with its funding of the extension payment to extend the period of time that VMAC has to consummate its initial business combination by three months to November 11, 2021. The loans are non-interest bearing and unsecured.

•        VMAC’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains a waiver of the corporate opportunity doctrine, and there could have been business combination targets that have been appropriate for a combination with VMAC but were not offered due to a VMAC director’s duties to another entity. VMAC does not believe that the waiver of the corporate opportunity doctrine in its second amended and restated certificate of incorporation interfered with its ability to identify an acquisition target.

These interests may influence VMAC’s directors in making their recommendation to vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals described in the Registration Statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part. You should also read the section entitled “The Business Combination.”

The Business Combination is subject to conditions, including certain conditions that may not be satisfied on a timely basis, if at all.

The completion of the Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions. The completion of the Business Combination is not assured and is subject to risks, including the risk that approval of the Business Combination by VMAC’s stockholders is not obtained or that there are not sufficient funds in the trust account, in each case, subject to certain terms specified in the Business Combination Agreement (as described under the section entitled “The Business Combination Agreement — Conditions to Closing the Business Combination”), or that other closing conditions are not satisfied. If VMAC does not complete the Business Combination, it could be subject to several risks, including:

•        the parties may be liable for damages to one another under the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement;

•        negative reactions from the financial markets, including declines in the price of VMAC’s Class A Common Stock due to the fact that current prices may reflect a market assumption that the Business Combination will be completed; and

•        the attention of its management will have been diverted to the Business Combination rather than its own operations and pursuit of other opportunities that could have been beneficial to VMAC.

Pubco may redeem your unexpired warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to you, thereby making your warrants worthless.

Pubco will have the ability to redeem outstanding warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per warrant, provided that the closing price of its Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) on each of 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period ending on the third trading day prior to proper notice of such redemption, and provided further that there is an effective registration statement covering the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, and a current prospectus relating thereto, available throughout the 30-day redemption period, or Pubco has elected to require the exercise of the warrants on a “cashless basis,” and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act. If and when the warrants become redeemable by Pubco, it may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. Redemption of the outstanding warrants could force holders (i) to exercise the warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so, (ii) to sell the warrants at the then-current market price when the holder might otherwise wish to hold its warrants or (iii) to accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of the warrants. The Private Placement Warrants are not redeemable by Pubco so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

The only principal asset of Pubco following the Business Combination will be its interest in Anghami, and accordingly, it will depend on distributions from Anghami to pay taxes and expenses.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, Pubco will be a holding company and will have no material assets other than its interests in Anghami. Pubco is not expected to have independent means of generating revenue or cash flow, and its ability to pay taxes and operating expenses, as well as dividends in the future, if any, will be dependent upon the financial results and cash flows of Anghami. There can be no assurance that Anghami will generate sufficient cash flow to distribute funds to Pubco, or that applicable law and contractual restrictions, including negative covenants under any debt instruments, if applicable, will permit such distributions. If Anghami does not distribute sufficient funds to Pubco to pay its taxes or other liabilities, Pubco may default on contractual obligations or have to borrow additional funds. In the event that Pubco is required to borrow additional funds, it could adversely affect Pubco’s liquidity and subject it to additional restrictions imposed by lenders.

76

Table of Contents

Even if VMAC consummates the Business Combination, there can be no assurance that the warrants will be in the money at the time they become exercisable, and they may expire worthless.

The exercise price for the outstanding warrants is $11.50 per VMAC Class A Common Stock. There can be no assurance that the warrants will be in the money following the time they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, and as such, the warrants may expire worthless.

If VMAC fails to consummate the PIPE, it may not have enough funds to complete the Business Combination.

As a condition to closing the Business Combination, the Business Combination Agreement provides that VMAC must have $40 million available at upon the closing of the Business Combination. Since the amount in the Trust Account is less than $40 million, VMAC requires the funds from the PIPE in order to consummate the Business Combination. While VMAC has entered into Subscription Agreements to raise an aggregate of approximately $40 million immediately prior to the Closing, there can be no assurance that the counterparties to the Subscription Agreements will perform their obligations thereunder. If VMAC fails to consummate the PIPE, it is unlikely that VMAC will have sufficient funds to meet the condition to Closing in the Business Combination Agreement.

Subsequent to the completion of the Business Combination, Pubco may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on Pubco’s financial condition, results of operations and our stock price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

Although VMAC has conducted due diligence on Anghami, we cannot assure you that our diligence surfaced all material issues that may be present inside Anghami, that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence, or that factors outside of Anghami and outside of VMAC’s control will not later arise. As a result of these factors, Pubco may be forced to later write-down or write off assets, restructure its operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in Pubco reporting losses. Even if VMAC’s due diligence successfully identified certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with VMAC’s preliminary risk analysis. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and would not have an immediate impact on VMAC’s liquidity, the fact that VMAC reports charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about VMAC or its securities. Accordingly, any stockholders who choose to remain stockholders following the Business Combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares. Such stockholders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value unless they are able to successfully claim that the reduction was due to the breach by VMAC’s officers or directors of a duty of care or other fiduciary duty owed to them, or if they are able to successfully bring a private claim under securities laws that the proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Business Combination contained an actionable material misstatement or material omission.

Public stockholders at the time of the Business Combination who purchased their VMAC Units in VMAC’s IPO and do not exercise their redemption rights may pursue rescission rights and related claims.

The Public Stockholders may allege that some aspects of the Business Combination are inconsistent with the disclosure contained in the prospectus issued by VMAC in connection with the offer and sale in its IPO of units, including the structure of the proposed Business Combination. Consequently, a Public Stockholder who purchased shares in the IPO (excluding the Initial Stockholders) and still holds them at the time of the Business Combination and who does not seek to exercise redemption rights might seek rescission of the purchase of the VMAC Units such holder acquired in the IPO. A successful claimant for damages under federal or state law could be awarded an amount to compensate for the decrease in the value of such holder’s shares caused by the alleged violation (including, possibly, punitive damages), together with interest, while retaining the shares. If stockholders bring successful rescission claims against VMAC, it may not have sufficient funds following the consummation of the Business Combination to pay such claims, or if claims are successfully brought against Pubco following the consummation of the Business Combination, Pubco’s results of operations could be adversely affected and, in any event, Pubco may be required in connection with the defense of such claims to incur expenses and divert employee attention from other business matters.

Table of Contents

VMAC’s stockholders will have a reduced ownership and voting interest after consummation of the Business Combination and will exercise less influence over management.

After the completion of the Business Combination, VMAC’s stockholders will own a smaller percentage of Pubco than they currently own of VMAC. Upon completion of the Business Combination, it is anticipated that VMAC’s stockholders (including the Initial Stockholders), will own approximately 40.7% of the Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination, assuming that none of the Public Stockholders exercise their redemption rights. Consequently, VMAC’s stockholders, as a group, will have reduced ownership and voting power in Pubco compared to their ownership and voting power in VMAC.

VMAC’s and Anghami’s ability to consummate the Business Combination, and the operations of Pubco following the Business Combination, may be materially adversely affected by the recent coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, which has and is continuing to spread throughout the world, including the United States. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern.” On January 31, 2020, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services declared a public health emergency for the United States to aid the U.S., and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the COVID-19 outbreak as a “pandemic.”

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted, and other infectious diseases could result, in a widespread health crisis that has and could continue to adversely affect the economies and financial markets worldwide, which may delay or prevent the consummation of the Business Combination, and the business of Anghami or Pubco following the Business Combination could be materially and adversely affected. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. The disruptions posed by COVID-19 have continued, and other matters of global concern may continue, for an extensive period of time, and VMAC’s and Anghami’s ability to consummate the Business Combination and Pubco’s financial condition and results of operations following the Business Combination may be materially adversely affected. Each of VMAC, Anghami and Pubco may also incur additional costs due to delays caused by COVID-19, which could adversely affect Pubco’s financial condition and results of operations.

The securities in which we invest the funds held in the Trust Account could bear a negative rate of interest, which could reduce the value of the assets held in trust such that the per-share redemption amount received by public stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share.

The proceeds held in the Trust Account are invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. While short-term U.S. government treasury obligations currently yield a positive rate of interest, they have briefly yielded negative interest rates in recent years. Central banks in Europe and Japan pursued interest rates below zero in recent years, and the Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve has not ruled out the possibility that it may in the future adopt similar policies in the United States. In the event that VMAC is unable to complete its initial business combination or make certain amendments to the VMAC Charter, its public stockholders are entitled to receive their pro-rata share of the proceeds held in the Trust Account, plus any interest income not released to us, net of taxes payable. Negative interest rates could impact the per-share redemption amount that may be received by public stockholders.

Cyber incidents or attacks directed at us could result in information theft, data corruption, operational disruption and/or financial loss.

VMAC depends on digital technologies, including information systems, infrastructure and cloud applications and services, including those of third parties with which they may deal. Sophisticated and deliberate attacks on, or security breaches in, our systems or infrastructure, or the systems or infrastructure of third parties or the cloud, could lead to corruption or misappropriation of VMAC’s assets, proprietary information and sensitive or confidential data. As an early stage company without significant investments in data security protection, VMAC may not be sufficiently protected against such occurrences. VMAC may not have sufficient resources to adequately

78

Table of Contents

protect against, or to investigate and remediate any vulnerability to, cyber incidents. It is possible that any of these occurrences, or a combination of them, could have adverse consequences on VMAC’s business and lead to financial loss.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus may not be indicative of what VMAC and Anghami’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information in this proxy statement/prospectus is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what VMAC and Anghami’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been had the Business Combination been completed on the dates indicated. See the section entitled “Selected Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” for more information.

A market for Pubco’s securities may not continue, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of its securities.

Following the Business Combination, the price of Pubco’s securities may fluctuate significantly due to the market’s reaction to the Business Combination and general market and economic conditions. An active trading market for Pubco’s securities following the Business Combination may never develop or, if developed, it may not be sustained. In addition, the price of Pubco’s securities after the Business Combination can vary due to general economic conditions and forecasts, its general business condition and the release of its financial reports. Additionally, if its securities are not listed on, or become delisted from, Nasdaq for any reason, and are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, an inter-dealer automated quotation system for equity securities that is not a national securities exchange, the liquidity and price of its securities may be more limited than if it were quoted or listed on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange. You may be unable to sell your securities unless a market can be established or sustained.

If, following the Business Combination, securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about the Combined Company, its business, or its market, or if they change their recommendations regarding Pubco Ordinary Shares adversely, then the price and trading volume of Pubco Ordinary Shares could decline.

The trading market for Pubco Ordinary Shares will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about the Combined Company, its business, its market, or its competitors. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on VMAC or the Combined Company. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of the Combined Company, Pubco Ordinary Share price and trading volume would likely be negatively impacted. If any of the analysts who may cover the Combined Company change their recommendation regarding Pubco Ordinary Shares adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about Pubco’s competitors, the price of Pubco Ordinary Shares would likely decline. If any analyst who may cover VMAC were to cease coverage of the Combined Company or fail to regularly publish reports on it, Pubco could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause Pubco Ordinary Share price or trading volume to decline.

If the benefits of the Business Combination do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of VMAC’s and/or Pubco’s securities may decline.

If the benefits of the Business Combination do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of VMAC’s Class A Common Stock prior to the consummation of the Business Combination may decline. The market values of VMAC’s Class A Common Stock at the time of the Business Combination may vary significantly from their prices on the date the Business Combination Agreement was executed, the date of this proxy statement/prospectus or the date on which VMAC’s stockholders vote on the Business Combination. Because the number of Pubco Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement will not be adjusted to reflect any changes in the market price of VMAC’s Class A Common Stock, the market value of Pubco Ordinary Shares issued in the Business Combination may be higher or lower than the values of these shares on earlier dates.

In addition, following the Business Combination, fluctuations in the price of Pubco Ordinary Shares could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment. Prior to the Business Combination, there has not been a public market for Pubco Ordinary Shares. Accordingly, the valuation ascribed to Pubco in the Business Combination may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market following the Business Combination. If an active market for Pubco’s securities develops and continues, the trading price of Pubco Ordinary Shares following the Business Combination could be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond Pubco’s control. Any of the factors listed below could have a material adverse effect on your investment in Pubco Ordinary Shares, and Pubco Ordinary Shares may trade at prices significantly below the price you paid for them. In such circumstances, the trading price of Pubco Ordinary Shares may not recover and may experience a further decline.

Factors affecting the trading price of Pubco Ordinary Shares may include:

•        actual or anticipated fluctuations in Pubco’s quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to Pubco;

•        changes in the market’s expectations about Pubco’s operating results;

•        success of competitors;

•        Pubco’s operating results failing to meet the expectation of securities analysts or investors in a particular period;

•        changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning Pubco or the industries in which Pubco operates in general;

•        operating and share price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to Pubco;

•        changes in laws and regulations affecting Pubco’s business;

•        commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving Pubco;

•        changes in Pubco’s capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;

•        the volume of Pubco Ordinary Shares available for public sale;

•        any major change in Pubco’s board or management;

•        sales of substantial amounts of Pubco Ordinary Shares by Pubco’s directors, executive officers or significant shareholders or the perception that such sales could occur; and

•        general economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations and acts of war or terrorism.

Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of Pubco Ordinary Shares irrespective of Pubco’s operating performance. The stock market in general, and Nasdaq, have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of Pubco Ordinary Shares, may not be predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for the stocks of other companies that investors perceive to be similar to Pubco could depress its share price, regardless of its business, prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline in the market price of Pubco Ordinary Shares also could adversely affect Pubco’s ability to issue additional securities and its ability to obtain additional financing in the future.

The JOBS Act permits “emerging growth companies” like Pubco to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

Pubco currently qualifies as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, which we refer to as the “JOBS Act.” As such, Pubco takes advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies

80

Table of Contents

that are not emerging growth companies for as long as it continues to be an emerging growth company, including the exemption from the auditor attestation requirements with respect to internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. As a result, Pubco shareholders may not have access to certain information they deem important.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the exemption from complying with new or revised accounting standards provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act as long as it is an emerging growth company. An emerging growth company can therefore delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, but any such election to opt out is irrevocable.

Pubco cannot predict if investors will find Pubco Ordinary Shares less attractive because it relies on these exemptions. If some investors find Pubco Ordinary Shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market and share price for Pubco Ordinary Shares may be more volatile. Pubco does not expect to qualify as an emerging growth company after the last day of the fiscal year in which the Business Combination is consummated and may incur increased legal, accounting and compliance costs associated with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Legal proceedings in connection with the Business Combination, the outcomes of which are uncertain, could delay or prevent the completion of the Business Combination.

Lawsuits may be filed against VMAC or its directors and officers in connection with the Business Combination. Defending such additional lawsuits could require VMAC to incur significant costs and draw the attention of VMAC’s management team away from the Business Combination. Further, the defense or settlement of any lawsuit or claim that remains unresolved at the Closing may adversely affect the combined company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Such legal proceedings could delay or prevent the Closing from occurring within the contemplated timeframe.

Anghami will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the Business Combination is pending.

Uncertainty about the effect of the Business Combination on Anghami’s team members and third parties may have an adverse effect Anghami. These uncertainties may impair Anghami’s ability to retain and motivate key personnel and could cause third parties that deal with Anghami to defer entering into contracts or making other decisions or seek to change existing business relationships. If key team members depart because of uncertainty about their future roles and the potential complexities of the Business Combination, VMAC or Anghami’s business could be harmed.

VMAC may face litigation and other risks as a result of the material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting.

Following the issuance of the SEC Staff Statement, VMAC’s audit committee concluded that it was appropriate to restate VMAC’s previously-issued financial statements as of December 31, 2020, and for the period from March 27, 2020 (date of inception) through December 31, 2020 (the “Restatement”). As part of the Restatement, VMAC identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting.

As a result of such material weakness, the Restatement, the change in accounting for the VMAC Warrants and other matters raised or that may in the future be raised by the SEC, VMAC may face potential for litigation or other disputes, including, among others, claims invoking the federal and state securities laws, contractual claims or other claims arising from the Restatement and material weaknesses in VMAC’s internal control over financial reporting and the preparation of VMAC’s financial statements. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, VMAC has no knowledge of any such litigation or dispute. However, VMAC can provide no assurance that such litigation or dispute will not arise in the future. Any such litigation or dispute, whether successful or not, could have a material adverse effect on VMAC’s business, results of operations and financial condition or its ability to complete the Business Combination.

U.S. Tax Risk Factors

There may be tax consequences of the Business Combination that may adversely affect holders of VMAC Common Stock or VMAC Warrants.

Although the matter is not free from doubt, the exchange of VMAC Common Stock for Pubco Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Merger generally is expected to qualify as a tax-free exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To the extent the Merger does not so qualify, it could result in the imposition of substantial taxes on VMAC’s stockholders. In addition, although the matter is not free from doubt, the Merger may be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes to holders of VMAC Warrants. See the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

The IRS may not agree that Pubco should be treated as a non-U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

A corporation is generally considered for U.S. federal income tax purposes to be a tax resident in the jurisdiction of its organization or incorporation. Accordingly, under the generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rules, Pubco, which is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, would be classified as a non-U.S. corporation (and, therefore, not a U.S. tax resident) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Section 7874 of the Code provides an exception to this general rule under which a non-U.S. incorporated entity may, in certain circumstances, be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If Pubco were to be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it could be subject to substantial liability for additional U.S. income taxes, and the gross amount of any dividend payments to its non-U.S. holders (as defined in the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”) could be subject to U.S. withholding tax.

As more fully described in the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment of Pubco,” Pubco is not currently expected to be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, whether the requirements for such treatment have been satisfied must be finally determined at completion of the Merger, by which time there could be adverse changes to the relevant facts and circumstances. Further, the rules for determining ownership under Section 7874 are complex, unclear and the subject of ongoing regulatory change. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS would not assert a contrary position to those described above or that such an assertion would not be sustained by a court in the event of litigation.

The Business Combination may give rise to a taxable event for U.S. holders of VMAC Common Stock and VMAC Warrants

Subject to the limitations and qualifications described in the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” below, the Business Combination is generally intended to be tax-deferred to U.S. holders and Non-U.S. holders (as defined in the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”) of VMAC Common Stock and VMAC Warrants for U.S. federal income tax purposes, except to the extent that U.S. holders and Non-U.S. holders of VMAC Common Stock receive cash pursuant to the exercise of redemption rights. However, the failure of a U.S. holder to meet certain requirements could result in the exchange of VMAC Common Stock for Pubco Ordinary Shares and/or the assumption by Pubco of VMAC Warrants being a taxable event to such U.S. holder.

Section 367(a) of the U.S. Tax Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, in certain circumstances, may impose additional requirements for a U.S. holder to qualify for tax-deferred treatment with respect to the exchange of VMAC Common Stock and/or the assumption by Pubco of VMAC Warrants in the Business Combination.

The requirements for tax-deferred treatment, including Section 367(a) of the U.S. Tax Code, and the U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. holders if such requirements are not met are discussed in more detail under the sections entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Holders”. If you are a U.S. holder exchanging VMAC Common Stock in the Business Combination or holding VMAC Warrants at the time of the consummation of the Business Combination, you are urged to consult your own tax advisor to determine the tax consequences thereof.

82

Table of Contents

Furthermore, if a U.S. holder or Non-U.S. holder exercises its redemption rights to receive cash from the trust account in exchange for a portion or, if such U.S. holder or Non-U.S. holder maintains its ownership of public warrants, all of its VMAC Common Stock, such redemption may be treated as integrated with the Vistas Merger rather than as a separate transaction. In such case, cash received by such U.S. holder or Non-U.S. holder in the redemption may also be treated as taxable boot received in a “reorganization” which, depending on the circumstances applicable to such U.S. holder or Non-U.S. holder, may be treated as capital gain (but not loss) or dividend income. If the IRS were to assert, and a court were to sustain such a contrary position, such U.S. holder or Non-U.S. holder may be required to recognize more gain or income than if the redemption of VMAC Common Stock was treated as a separate transaction from the exchanges pursuant to the Vistas Merger. For further discussion on the tax implications of such treatment, please see the discussion under the sections entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Holder.” If you are a U.S. holder or Non-U.S. holder exercising your redemption rights with respect to the VMAC Common Stock, you are urged to consult your own tax advisor to determine the tax consequences if the Vistas Merger and the redemption of VMAC Common Stock are to be treated as an integrated transaction.

If Pubco were a passive foreign investment company for United States federal income tax purposes for any taxable year, U.S. holders of Pubco Ordinary Shares could be subject to adverse United States federal income tax consequences.

If Pubco is or becomes a “passive foreign investment company,” or a PFIC, within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code for any taxable year during which a U.S. holder holds Pubco Ordinary Shares, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences may apply to such U.S. holder. PFIC status depends on the composition of a company’s income and assets and the fair market value of its assets from time to time, as well as on the application of complex statutory and regulatory rules that are subject to potentially varying or changing interpretations. Based on the projected composition of Pubco’s income and assets, including goodwill, and the fact that Pubco is not yet producing revenue from its active operations, Pubco may be classified as a PFIC for its taxable year that includes the date of the Merger or in the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance that Pubco will not be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year.

If Pubco were treated as a PFIC, a U.S. holder of Pubco Ordinary Shares or Public Warrants may be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences, such as taxation at the highest marginal ordinary income tax rates on capital gains and on certain actual or deemed distributions, interest charges on certain taxes treated as deferred, and additional reporting requirements. Certain elections (including a qualified electing fund (“QEF”) or a mark-to-market election) may be available to U.S. holders of Pubco Ordinary Shares to mitigate some of the adverse tax consequences resulting from PFIC treatment, but U.S. holders will not be able to make similar elections with respect to the Pubco Warrants. See the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Holders — Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules.”

If a United States person is treated as owning at least 10% of Pubco’s shares, such person may be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences.

If a United States person is treated as owning (directly, indirectly or constructively) at least 10% of the value or voting power of Pubco’s shares, such person may be treated as a “United States shareholder” with respect to each of Pubco and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (“Pubco Group”) that is a “controlled foreign corporation.” If the Pubco Group includes one or more U.S. subsidiaries, under recently-enacted rules, certain of Pubco’s non-U.S. subsidiaries could be treated as controlled foreign corporations regardless of whether Pubco is treated as a controlled foreign corporation (although there are currently proposed Treasury Regulations that may significantly limit the application of these rules). Immediately following the business combination, the Pubco Group will include a U.S. subsidiary.

A United States shareholder of a controlled foreign corporation may be required to report annually and include in its U.S. taxable income its pro rata share of the controlled foreign corporation’s “Subpart F income” and (in computing its “global intangible low-taxed income”) “tested income” and a pro rata share of the amount of U.S. property (including certain stock in U.S. corporations and certain tangible assets located in the United States) held by the controlled foreign corporation regardless of whether such controlled foreign corporation makes any distributions. Failure to comply with these reporting obligations (or related tax payment obligations) may subject such United States shareholder to significant monetary penalties and may prevent the statute of limitations with respect to such United States shareholder’s U.S. federal income tax return for the year for which reporting (or payment of tax) was

83

Table of Contents

due from starting. An individual that is a United States shareholder with respect to a controlled foreign corporation generally would not be allowed certain tax deductions or foreign tax credits that would be allowed to a United States shareholder that is a U.S. corporation. Pubco cannot provide any assurances that it will assist holders in determining whether any of its non-U.S. subsidiaries are treated as a controlled foreign corporation or whether any holder is treated as a United States shareholder with respect to any of such controlled foreign corporations or furnish to any holder information that may be necessary to comply with reporting and tax paying obligations.

Future resales of Pubco’s Ordinary Shares and/or warrants may cause the market price of such securities to drop significantly, even if its business is doing well.

The Sponsor, I-Bankers, VMAC’s directors and officers, the SPAC Insiders and certain of Anghami’s shareholders will be granted certain rights, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, to require Pubco to register, in certain circumstances, the resale under the Securities Act of their Pubco Ordinary Shares or warrants held by them, subject to certain conditions, and to certain demand, piggy-back and shelf registration rights. The sale or possibility of sale of these Pubco Ordinary Shares and/or warrants could have the effect of increasing the volatility in Pubco Ordinary Share price or putting significant downward pressure on the price of Pubco Ordinary Shares and/or warrants.

Additionally, a significant portion of Pubco Ordinary Shares will be subject to a lock-up and restricted from immediate resale, however, upon expiration of their respective lock-up periods, the sale of Pubco Ordinary Shares or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the market price of Pubco Ordinary Shares to drop significantly.

Pubco may issue additional Pubco Ordinary Shares or other equity securities without your approval, which would dilute your ownership interests and may depress the market price of Pubco Ordinary Shares. Additionally, activities taken by existing VMAC stockholders to increase the likelihood of approval of the Business Combination Proposal and other proposals could have a depressive effect on Pubco Ordinary Shares.

VMAC may need to obtain additional financing to complete the Business Combination, either because the transaction requires more cash than is available from the proceeds held in its trust account or because it becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of public shares upon completion of the Business Combination, in which case Pubco may issue additional Pubco Ordinary Shares or other equity securities or incur debt in connection with the Business Combination. Pubco may also issue additional Pubco Ordinary Shares or other equity securities in the future in connection with, among other things, future capital raising and transactions and future acquisitions, without your approval in many circumstances.

Pubco’s issuance of additional Pubco Ordinary Shares or other equity securities would have the following effects:

•        Pubco’s existing shareholders’ proportionate ownership interest in Pubco may decrease;

•        the amount of cash available per share, including for payment of dividends in the future, may decrease;

•        the relative voting strength of each previously outstanding Pubco Ordinary Share may be diminished; and

•        the market price of Pubco Ordinary Shares may decline.

At any time prior to the special meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding VMAC or its securities, the Founders and/or their affiliates may purchase shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against the Business Combination Proposal, or execute agreements to purchase such Pubco Ordinary Shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire or vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. The purpose of such purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood that the Business Combination Proposal is approved. Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on the Pubco Ordinary Shares. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase Pubco Ordinary Shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the Pubco Ordinary Shares he, she or it owns, either prior to or immediately after the special meeting.

Table of Contents

Nasdaq may not list Pubco’s securities, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in Pubco’s securities and subject Pubco to additional trading restrictions.

Pubco intends to apply to have its securities listed on Nasdaq upon consummation of the Business Combination. Pubco will be required to meet the initial listing requirements to be listed. Pubco may not be able to meet those initial listing requirements. Even if Pubco’s securities are so listed, it may be unable to maintain the listing of its securities in the future.

If Pubco fails to meet the initial listing requirements and Nasdaq does not list its securities and the related closing condition is waived by the parties, Pubco could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

•        a limited availability of market quotations for its securities;

•        a limited amount of news and analyst coverage on it; and

•        a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

Table of Contents

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what Pubco’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been had the Proposed Transactions been completed as of the dates indicated. In addition, the unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of Pubco.

The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based on information currently available. The assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes. Actual results may differ materially from the assumptions used to present the unaudited pro forma combined financial information. As the unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been prepared based on preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented. As a result, this unaudited pro forma combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the historical financial information included elsewhere in the proxy statement/prospectus.

Description of the Proposed Transactions

On March 3, 2021, VMAC, Anghami, Pubco, Vistas Merger Sub and Anghami Merger Sub entered into the Business Combination Agreement, which contains customary representations and warranties, covenants, closing conditions, termination fee provisions and other terms relating to the mergers and the other transactions contemplated thereby. The key steps, in sequential order are (i) VMAC will merge with and into Vistas Merger Sub, with VMAC surviving the merger and continuing as a subsidiary of Pubco, with each outstanding share of VMAC converting into the right to receive one share of Pubco and each outstanding warrant of VMAC converting into warrants to purchase Pubco Ordinary Shares on the same terms, and (ii) Anghami will merge with and into Anghami Merger Sub, with Anghami surviving the merger and continuing as a subsidiary of Pubco and Anghami’s shareholders receiving Pubco Ordinary Shares and, if applicable, the payment of cash (together the “Proposed Transactions”). Upon consummation of the Proposed Transactions, shareholders of VMAC and Anghami will become shareholder of Pubco. For more information about the Business Combination, please see the section entitled “The Business Combination Agreement.

Accounting for the Proposed Transactions

The exchange of Anghami’s shares for Pubco’s shares will be accounted for as a transaction under common control in accordance with IFRS. The exchange of VMAC’s shares for Pubco’s shares will be accounted for as a “reverse acquisition” in accordance with IFRS. Under this method of accounting, VMAC will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes.

This determination was based on the guidance provided in IFRS 3 (Business Combinations) and IFRS 10 (Consolidated Financial Statements) and was primarily based on the assumptions that Anghami’s operations will substantially comprise the ongoing operations of the Combined Company, Anghami’s designees are expected to comprise a majority of the governing body of the Combined Company, Anghami’s senior management will comprise the senior management of the Combined Company, and Anghami’s existing shareholders will be the largest group of shareholders of the Combined Company following the consummation of the Business Combination (Anghami’s existing shareholders are expected to represent between 45.0% (assuming a no-redemption scenario) to 69.7% (assuming the maximum redemption scenario) of the Combined Company.

Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the exchange of VMAC’s shares for Pubco shares will be treated as the equivalent of Pubco issuing shares for the net assets of VMAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. It has been determined that VMAC is not a business under IFRS, hence the transaction is accounted for within the scope of IFRS 2 (“share-based payment”).

In accordance with IFRS 2, the difference in the fair value of Pubco’s equity instruments deemed issued to VMAC shareholders over the fair value of identifiable net assets of VMAC represents a service for listing, and is accounted for as a share-based payment which is expensed as incurred. The net assets of the Combined Company will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the exchange of VMAC’s shares for Pubco’s shares will be deemed to be those of Pubco.

Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The adjustments presented in the unaudited pro forma combined financial information have been identified and presented to provide an understanding of the Combined Company upon consummation of the Proposed Transactions for illustrative purposes.

The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” Release No. 33-10786 replaces the existing pro forma adjustment criteria with simplified requirements to depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”). Anghami has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and will only be presenting Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the following unaudited pro forma combined financial information.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is for illustrative purposes only. The financial results may have been different had the companies always been combined. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information should not be relied upon as being indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved had the companies always been combined or the future results that the Combined Company will experience. Anghami and VMAC have not had any historical relationship prior to the Proposed Transactions. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

The historical financial information of VMAC has been adjusted to give effect to the differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma combined financial information. No adjustments were required to convert VMAC financial statements from U.S. GAAP to IFRS except to reclassify VMAC change in fair value of warrants liability to finance income/cost to align with IFRS presentation. This did not impact net loss.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been prepared assuming two redemption scenarios as follows:

1.      Assuming No Redemptions: This presentation assumes that no VMAC stockholders exercise redemption rights with respect to their shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock upon consummation of the Business Combination and $40,000,000 in proceeds from the PIPE;

2.      Assuming Maximum Redemptions: This presentation assumes that VMAC stockholders exercise their redemption rights with respect to 9,500,000 shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock upon consummation of the Business Combination at a redemption price of approximately $10 per share. The maximum redemption amount assumes that there is a minimum of $45,000,001 of cash held either in or outside of the trust account, including the aggregate amount of any proceeds from the PIPE, after giving effect to the payments to redeeming stockholders and before considering transaction fees. The maximum redemption scenario includes all adjustments contained in the no redemption scenario and presents additional adjustments to reflect the effect of the maximum redemptions.

Included in the shares outstanding and weighted average shares outstanding as presented in the unaudited pro forma combined financial information are an aggregate of 14,185,075 Pubco Ordinary Shares to be issued to Anghami’s shareholders under the no redemption scenario and 18,000,000 Pubco Ordinary Shares to be issued to Anghami’s shareholders under the maximum redemption scenario. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, Anghami Shareholders are entitled to receive cash consideration only if the available cash (as further described below) exceeds $50,000,000, in which case the cash consideration will be calculated as the lesser of (i)(A) such available cash minus the outstanding indebtedness of Pubco for borrowed money with a maturity date of more than one year as of the Closing multiplied by (B) 0.3, or (ii) the available cash minus such indebtedness referred to in clause (i)(A) above minus $50,000,000 (the “Cash Consideration”). The available cash at Closing will be calculated by (i) adding the amount available to be released from VMAC’s trust account, after taking into account redemptions by VMAC’s stockholders, in addition to any cash or cash equivalents of VMAC and the net proceeds of private placements of shares of VMAC common stock to occur immediately prior to the Closing and (ii) subtracting transaction expenses of VMAC and Anghami related to the Proposed Transaction.

IFRS Adjustments and Reclassifications

The historical financial information of VMAC for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and for the period ended December 31, 2020 were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and have been adjusted to give effect to the differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS.

The IFRS adjustments and reclassifications included in the unaudited pro forma combined statement of comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and for the period ended December 31, 2020 are as follows:

(1)    Reflects the reclassification adjustments to align VMAC historical financial statements balances with the presentation of Anghami’s historical financial statements. This reclassification has no impact on net income.

Transaction Accounting Adjustments to unaudited pro forma combined financial information

(A)    Reflects the reclassification of $100,065,067 of cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account that becomes available to fund the Proposed Transactions.

(B)    Reflects the proceeds received from the PIPE with the corresponding issuance of 4,000,000 Pubco Class A Ordinary Shares, with a nominal value of $0.0001 per share, assuming stock price of $10.00 per share. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of financial position reflects this payment as an increase of cash and bank balances of $40,000,000 with a corresponding increase to ordinary share capital of $400 and increase to share premium reserve of $39,999,600.

(C)    Represents the conversion of Anghami’s convertible notes into ordinary shares in Anghami. immediately prior to Closing. $14,079,609 converted to 7,367 shares reflected as an increase in $737 share capital and $14,078,872 share premium.

(D)    Reflects the payment of $132,000 deferred fees, which results in a decrease in Cash and bank balances with a corresponding decrease in trade and other payables.

(E)    To reflect the recapitalization of Anghami through:

(i)     The contribution of all the aggregate share capital, share premium, share-based payment reserves, other reserves, accumulated losses and non-controlling interest (post considering the conversion of Anghami’s convertible notes into ordinary shares) in Anghami to Pubco of $22,830, $39,129,695, $3,126,804, $(269,033), $(50,543,306), and $(950,428).

(ii)    The issuance of 14,185,075 Pubco Ordinary Shares and payment of secondary cash component of $38,149,249 in the no redemption scenario, and 18,000,000 in the maximum redemption scenario, Pubco Ordinary Shares to Anghami Shareholders is recorded as an increase in Pubco ordinary share capital of $1,419, and an increase in Pubco share premium reserve of $40,942,838 in the no redemption scenario and an increase in Pubco ordinary share capital of $1,800, and an increase in Pubco share premium reserve of $41,004,272 in the maximum redemption scenario.

(iii)   The elimination of the historical VMAC Class A share capital of $33 and accumulated losses of $12,644,541.

(iv)   The fair value of the share consideration and the excess of the fair value of the shares issued over the value of the net monetary assets acquired in the Proposed Transactions under each scenario as follows:

— Assuming no redemptions: Fair value of share consideration of $168,300,000 and a $40,944,258 excess over the value of the net monetary assets acquired.

— Assuming maximum redemptions: Fair value of share consideration of $73,300,000 and a $41,006,072 excess over the value of the net monetary assets acquired.

94

Table of Contents

Under IFRS 2, this excess amount is recognized as a loss on the unaudited pro forma combined statement of comprehensive income.

(F)    Reflects the reorganization between VMAC and Pubco with Pubco as the surviving entity. The reorganization is the first step to be completed as part of the Proposed Transactions and the VMAC Stockholders will surrender all VMAC Class A Common Stock in exchange for the same number of Pubco Ordinary Shares. VMAC Class A Stockholders will receive Pubco Ordinary Shares and VMAC Warrant holders will receive Pubco Warrants on a one for one basis. Due to the fact that the equity is exchanged on a one for one basis, there is no impact on the Combined Company financial information with the exception of the reclassification of the VMAC Class A Common Stock subject to redemption of $100,000,000 from liabilities to equity. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of financial position reflects this reclassification as a decrease of common stock subject to possible redemption of $100,000,000 and an increase to Pubco ordinary share capital of $1,000 with a corresponding increase to Pubco share premium reserve of $99,999,000.

(G)    Reflects the net adjustment in respect of VMAC Class B Common Stock in relation to the reorganization between VMAC and Pubco and the Proposed Transactions. Upon completion of the reorganization between VMAC and Pubco, all VMAC Class B Common Stock will be surrendered in exchange for the same number of Pubco ordinary shares. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of financial position reflects these adjustments as a reduction to VMAC Class B share capital of $250 with a corresponding increase to Pubco ordinary share capital of $250.

(H)    Reflects the maximum redemption of 9,500,000 VMAC Class A Common Stock for aggregate redemption payments of $95,061,814. The cash available to fund the maximum redemption scenario includes the funds available in the trust account provided that the closing cash is a minimum of $40,000,000 per the Business Combination Agreement. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of financial position reflects this payment as a reduction to cash and bank balances of $95,061,814 with a corresponding decrease in Common stock subject to possible redemption of $100,000,000, an increase in Pubco ordinary share capital of $50, and an increase in Pubco share premium reserve of $4,938,136.

(I)     Reflects the elimination of interest income related to the marketable securities held in the Trust Account.

(J)     Represents preliminary estimated transaction costs to be incurred by Anghami and VMAC of approximately $13,150,000, inclusive of advisory, banking, printing, legal, and accounting fees that are incurred as a part of the Business Combination and equity issuance costs that are specifically incremental costs directly attributable to the Business Combination that are capitalized into Share premium. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position reflects these costs as a reduction of cash and bank balances of $13,150,000 with a corresponding offset of $13,150,000 to additional share premium reserve.

(K)    Represents preliminary estimated transaction costs to be incurred by Anghami and VMAC of approximately $4,850,000 settled through the issuance of shares. This transaction cost relates to advisory and banking fees that are incurred as a part of the Business Combination and equity issuance costs that are specifically incremental costs directly attributable to the Business Combination that are capitalized into Share premium. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position reflects these costs as an increase to Pubco ordinary share capital of $48.5 with a corresponding net offset of $48.5 to additional share premium reserve.

(L)    Represents preliminary estimated transaction costs to be incurred by Anghami and VMAC of approximately $171,495 settled through the issuance of warrants. This transaction cost relates to advisory and banking fees that are incurred as part of the Business Combination and equity issuance costs that are specifically incremental costs directly attributable to the Business Combination that are capitalized into Share premium. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position reflects this cost as an increase to derivative warrant liabilities of $171,495 with a corresponding offset of $171,495 to additional share premium reserve.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMPARATIVE PER SHARE DATA

The following table sets forth:

(A)    (i) the historical comparative share information of VMAC for the six months ended June 30, 2021 on a stand-alone basis; (ii) the historical comparative share information of Anghami for the six months ended June 30, 2021 on a stand-alone basis; and (iii) pro forma combined per share information after giving effect to the transaction,

(B)    (i) the historical comparative share information of VMAC for the period from March 27, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 on a stand-alone basis; (ii) the historical comparative share information of Anghami for the year ended December 31, 2020 on a stand-alone basis; and (iii) pro forma combined per share information after giving effect to the transaction,

The comparative per share data has been prepared assuming two redemption scenarios as follows:

1.      Assuming No Redemptions:    This presentation assumes that no VMAC stockholders exercise redemption rights with respect to their shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock upon consummation of the Business Combination and $40,000,000 proceeds from the PIPE;

2.      Assuming Maximum Redemptions:    This presentation assumes that VMAC stockholders exercise their redemption rights with respect to 9,500,000 shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock upon consummation of the Business Combination at a redemption price of approximately $10 per share. The maximum redemption amount is derived so that there is a minimum of $45,000,001 of cash held either in or outside of the trust account, including the aggregate amount of any proceeds from the PIPE, after giving effect to the payments to redeeming stockholders and before considering transaction fees.

The weighted average shares outstanding and net earnings per share information reflect the transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2020.

This information is only a summary and should be read together with VMAC’s unaudited financial statements and related notes thereto and audited financial statements and related notes thereto, Anghami’s unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto and audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The unaudited pro forma combined per share data of VMAC and Anghami is derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information” and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma combined net loss per share information below does not purport to represent the net loss per share which would have occurred had the companies been combined during the periods presented, nor earnings per share for any future date or period.

The following table is also based on the assumption that there are no adjustments for the outstanding public and private placement warrants as such securities are not exercisable until the later of: (i) 30 days after the completion of VMAC’s initial business combination, and (ii) 12 months from the closing of VMAC’s IPO (which period has now passed). The warrants expire five years after completion of VMAC’s initial business combination.

All numbers given below are in US dollars except as indicated otherwise. Certain amounts that appear in this section may not sum due to rounding.

THE SPECIAL MEETING OF VMAC STOCKHOLDERS

The VMAC Special Meeting

VMAC is furnishing this proxy statement/prospectus to you as part of the solicitation of proxies by its board of directors for use at the special meeting of stockholders to be held on             , 2021, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. This proxy statement/prospectus is first being furnished to VMAC’s stockholders on or about             , 2021. This proxy statement/prospectus provides you with information you need to know to be able to vote or instruct your vote to be cast at the special meeting of stockholders.

Date, Time and Place of the Special Meeting

The special meeting of stockholders of VMAC will be held at              a.m., Eastern time, on             , 2021, at             , or such other date, time and place to which such meeting may be adjourned or postponed, for the purpose of considering and voting upon the proposals. The special meeting will be completely virtual.

Purpose of the Special Meeting

At the VMAC special meeting of stockholders, VMAC will ask the VMAC stockholders to vote in favor of the following proposals:

•        The Business Combination Proposal — a proposal to approve the adoption of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, including the Business Combination.

•        The Nasdaq Proposal — a proposal to approve the issuance of more than 20% of the current total issued and outstanding shares VMAC Common Stock, for purposes of complying with the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules.

•        The Stockholder Adjournment Proposal — a proposal to authorize the adjournment of the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based on the tabulated vote at the time of the special meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve the Business Combination Proposal or the Nasdaq Proposal, or Public Stockholders have elected to redeem an amount of Public Shares such that the minimum available cash condition to the obligation to closing of the Business Combination would not be satisfied.

Recommendation of the VMAC Board of Directors

VMAC’s board of directors believes that each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Stockholder Adjournment Proposal to be presented at the special meeting is in the best interests of VMAC and its stockholders and unanimously recommends that its stockholders vote “FOR” each of the proposals.

In considering the recommendation of VMAC’s board of directors to vote in favor of the Business Combination, stockholders should be aware that, aside from their interests as stockholders, the Sponsor and certain of VMAC’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of other stockholders generally. VMAC’s directors were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating the Business Combination, in recommending to stockholders that they approve the Business Combination and in agreeing to vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination. Stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Business Combination. These interests include, among other things:

•        If the Business Combination with Anghami or another business combination is not consummated by February 11, 2022 (or such later date that may be approved by VMAC’s stockholders), VMAC will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding VMAC public shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the Founder Shares held by the Sponsor and VMAC’s directors and officers, which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to the IPO, would be worthless because the holders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. Such shares had an aggregate market value of $25,350,000 based upon the closing price of $10.14 per share

98

Table of Contents

on Nasdaq on November 4, 2021. On the other hand, if the Business Combination is consummated, each outstanding share of VMAC Common Stock will be converted into the right to receive one share of Pubco pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement.

•        The Sponsor purchased 500,000 Private Placement Warrants from VMAC for $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant. This purchase took place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO. All of the proceeds VMAC received from these purchases were placed in the trust account. Such Private Placement Warrants had an aggregate market value of $465,000 based upon the closing price of $0.93 per warrant on Nasdaq on November 4, 2021. The VMAC Class A Common Stock underlying the Private Placement Warrants had an aggregate market value of $507,000 based upon the closing price of $10.14 per share on Nasdaq on November 4, 2021. The Private Placement Warrants and VMAC Class A Common Stock underlying the Private Placement Warrants will become worthless if VMAC does not consummate a business combination by February 11, 2022 (or such later date that may be approved by VMAC’s stockholders). On the other hand, if the Business Combination is consummated, each outstanding warrant will be converted into the right to acquire the same number of Pubco Ordinary Shares, at the same exercise price and on the same terms as in effect immediately prior to the Closing.

•        VMAC’s Initial Stockholders and owners of Private Placement Warrants paid significantly less for their shares and warrants than other current stockholders and holders of warrants paid for their shares and warrants purchased in the IPO or in the open market thereafter. Prior to the consummation of the IPO, the Sponsor purchased 2,875,000 Founder Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.009 per share. Of these Founder Shares, 375,000 were forfeited by our Sponsor due to the underwriters’ not exercising the over-allotment option in connection with the IPO. Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, VMAC consummated the private sale of 500,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor, each of which entitles the holder to purchase one share of VMAC Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, at a price of $1.00 per warrant. Each outstanding Pubco Ordinary Share will have a target value at the time of the Business Combination of $10.00. If the Business Combination is consummated, based on the difference in the purchase price of $0.009 per share that the Sponsor paid for the Founder Shares, as compared to the purchase price of $10.00 per Unit sold in the IPO, these initial stockholders and holders of Private Placement Warrants will be able, at a lower price per Pubco Ordinary Share, to recognize a greater return on their investment than stockholders or holders of warrants that purchased VMAC Common Stock or VMAC warrants in the IPO or in the open market thereafter. Furthermore, the Sponsor may earn a positive rate of return even if the price of the Pubco Ordinary Shares after the Closing falls below the price initially paid for the units in the IPO and the VMAC Stockholders may experience a negative rate of return following the Closing of the Business Combination.

•        If VMAC is unable to complete a business combination within the required time period, the aggregate dollar amount of non-reimbursable funds is $27,065,000, comprised of (a) $25,350,000 representing the market value of Founder Shares, (b) $465,000 representing the market value of Private Placement Warrants and (c) $1,250,000 of unpaid expenses incurred by the Sponsor and VMAC’s officers and directors and their affiliates. Certain VMAC directors and executive officers have indirect economic interests in the Private Placement Warrants and in the Founder Shares.

•        The Sponsor has agreed not to redeem any shares of VMAC Common Stock held by it in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination,

•        The VMAC Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if VMAC fails to complete an initial business combination by February 11, 2022 (or such later date that may be approved by VMAC’s stockholders),

•        The potential continuation of certain of VMAC’s directors and officers as directors or officers of Pubco.

•        The continued indemnification of current directors and officers of VMAC and the continuation of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination.

•        The Sponsor has agreed to loan VMAC up to $300,000 in the aggregate, to be used for a portion of the expenses of the Public Offering. The Sponsor also agreed to loan an additional $1,000,000 in connection with its funding of the extension payment to extend the period of time that VMAC has to consummate its initial business combination by three months to November 11, 2021. The loans are non-interest bearing and unsecured.

•        VMAC’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains a waiver of the corporate opportunity doctrine, and there could have been business combination targets that have been appropriate for a combination with VMAC but were not offered due to a VMAC director’s duties to another entity. VMAC does not believe that the waiver of the corporate opportunity doctrine in its second amended and restated certificate of incorporation interfered with its ability to identify an acquisition target.

Record Date and Voting

You will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the special meeting of stockholders if you owned shares of VMAC Common Stock at the close of business on November 4, 2021, which is the record date for the special meeting of stockholders. You are entitled to one vote for each share of VMAC Common Stock that you owned as of the close of business on the record date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. On the record date, there were 12,830,000 shares of VMAC Common Stock outstanding, of which 10,330,000 are shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock and 2,500,000 are VMAC Class B Common Stock held by VMAC’s Initial Stockholders and 11,295,000 outstanding Public Warrants.

VMAC’s Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to vote all of their VMAC Class B Common Stock and any Public Shares acquired by them in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus. VMAC’s issued and outstanding warrants do not have voting rights at the special meeting of stockholders.

Voting Your Shares

Each share of VMAC Common Stock that you own in your name entitles you to one vote on each of the proposals for the special meeting of stockholders. Your one or more proxy cards show the number of shares of VMAC Common Stock that you own.

If you are a holder of record, there are two ways to vote your shares of VMAC Common Stock at the special meeting of stockholders:

•        You can vote by completing, signing and returning the enclosed proxy card(s) in the postage-paid envelope provided. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you will need to follow the instructions provided to you by your bank, broker or other nominee to ensure that your shares are represented and voted at the applicable special meeting(s). If you vote by proxy card, your “proxy,” whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares of VMAC Common Stock will be voted as recommended by VMAC’s board of directors. With respect to proposals for the special meeting of stockholders, that means: “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the Nasdaq Proposal, and “FOR” the Stockholder Adjournment Proposal.

•        You can attend the special meeting and vote virtually. However, if your shares of VMAC Common Stock are held in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee, you must get a proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way we can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares of VMAC Common Stock.

Quorum and Vote Required for the Proposals

A quorum of VMAC’s stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the special meeting of stockholders if a majority of the VMAC Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting is represented in person or by proxy.

The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of all then outstanding shares of VMAC Common Stock entitled to vote thereon at the special meeting of stockholders. Accordingly, a VMAC stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the special meeting of stockholders, or an abstention from voting, will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal.

Each of the Nasdaq Proposal and the Stockholder Adjournment Proposal, if presented, requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of VMAC Common Stock that are voted thereon at the special meeting of stockholders. Accordingly, a VMAC stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the special meeting, or an abstention from voting, will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on the Nasdaq Proposal or the Stockholder Adjournment Proposal.

Abstentions

Under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your shares with respect to non-discretionary matters unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank or nominee. VMAC believes the proposals presented to its stockholders will be considered non-discretionary and therefore your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your shares without your instruction.

Abstentions will be counted for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at the special meeting of VMAC stockholders. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal and no effect on the Nasdaq Proposal or the Stockholder Adjournment Proposal. No broker non-votes are expected as there are no routine items.

Revocability of Proxies

If you have submitted a proxy to vote your shares and wish to change your vote, you may do so by delivering a later-dated, signed proxy card to Morrow Sodali LLC, VMAC’s proxy solicitor, prior to the date of the special meeting or by voting in person at the special meeting. Attendance at the special meeting alone will not change your vote. You also may revoke your proxy by sending a notice of revocation to: Morrow Sodali LLC, 470 West Avenue, Stamford, CT 06902, provided such revocation is received prior to the vote at the special meeting of stockholders.

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to the VMAC Charter, any holders of Public Shares may demand that such shares be redeemed in exchange for a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account, less franchise and income taxes payable, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. If demand is properly made and the Business Combination is consummated, these shares, immediately prior to the Business Combination, will cease to be outstanding and will represent only the right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account which holds the proceeds of VMAC’s IPO as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, less franchise and income taxes payable, upon the consummation of the Business Combination. For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the trust account of approximately $101,071,849.66 on September 21, 2021, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.107.

Redemption rights are not available to holders of warrants in connection with the Business Combination.

101

Table of Contents

In order to exercise your redemption rights, you must, prior to 4:30 p.m., Eastern time, on             , 2021 (two business days before the special meeting), both:

•        Submit a request in writing that VMAC redeem your Public Shares for cash to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, VMAC’s transfer agent, at the following address:

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
1 State Street, 30th Floor
New York, NY 10004
Attention: Mark Zimkind
Email: mzimkind@continentalstock.com

•        Deliver your public shares either physically or electronically through DTC to VMAC’s transfer agent. Stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights and opting to deliver physical certificates should allot sufficient time to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. It is VMAC’s understanding that stockholders should generally allot at least one week to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, VMAC does not have any control over this process and it may take longer than one week. Stockholders who hold their shares in street name will have to coordinate with their bank, broker or other nominee to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically. If you do not submit a written request and deliver your public shares as described above, your shares will not be redeemed.

Any demand for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests and thereafter, with VMAC’s consent, until the vote is taken with respect to the Business Combination. If you delivered your shares for redemption to VMAC’s transfer agent and decide within the required timeframe not to exercise your redemption rights, you may request that VMAC’s transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting VMAC’s transfer agent at the phone number or address listed above.

Each redemption of Public Shares by the Public Stockholders will decrease the amount in the Trust Account. In no event, however, will VMAC redeem Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 upon completion of the Business Combination.

Prior to exercising redemption rights, stockholders should verify the market price of their VMAC Class A Common Stock as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their VMAC Class A Common Stock in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. VMAC cannot assure you that you will be able to sell your shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in VMAC Class A Common Stock when you wish to sell your shares.

If you exercise your redemption rights, your shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock will cease to be outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination and will only represent the right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account. You will no longer own those shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you properly demand redemption.

If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved and VMAC does not consummate an initial business combination by February 11, 2022 (the deadline after use of the second of two three-month extensions permitted under VMAC’s governing documents), or amend the VMAC Charter to extend the date by which VMAC must consummate an initial business combination, it will be required to dissolve and liquidate and the VMAC Warrants will expire worthless.

Appraisal or Dissenters’ Rights

No appraisal or dissenters’ rights are available to holders of shares of VMAC Common Stock or VMAC Warrants in connection with the Business Combination.

Solicitation of Proxies

VMAC will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the special meeting. VMAC has engaged Morrow Sodali LLC to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the special meeting. VMAC has agreed to pay Morrow Sodali LLC a fee of $27,500. VMAC will reimburse Morrow Sodali LLC for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will indemnify Morrow Sodali LLC and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses. VMAC also will reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of shares of VMAC Common Stock for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners of VMAC Common Stock and in obtaining voting instructions from those owners. VMAC’s directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies by telephone, by facsimile, by mail, on the Internet or in person. They will not be paid any additional amounts for soliciting proxies.

Stock Ownership

As of the record date, the Initial Stockholders beneficially own an aggregate of about 19.5% of the outstanding shares of VMAC Common Stock. VMAC’s Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to vote all of their VMAC Class B Common Stock and any Public Shares acquired by them in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

THE BUSINESS COMBINATION

The Background of the Business Combination

The terms of the Business Combination are the result of negotiations between representatives of VMAC and Anghami. The following is a brief description of the background of these negotiations and the resulting Business Combination.

VMAC is a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 27, 2020, for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. While VMAC may pursue a business combination with a private or public target in any business, industry or geographic location, we have focused on opportunities to capitalize on the ability of our management team, particularly our executive officers, to identify, acquire and operate a business in the technology, media and telecommunications (“TMT”) industries. The proposed Business Combination with Anghami is the result of an extensive search for a potential business combination using the investing and operating experience of VMAC’s board of directors and management team. The terms of the Business Combination are the result of arm’s-length negotiations between representatives of VMAC and Anghami. The following is a brief discussion of the background of these negotiations, the Business Combination and related transactions.

On August 11, 2020, VMAC consummated its IPO of 10,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $100,000,000, with each unit consisting of one share of Class A common stock and one public warrant. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, VMAC consummated the sale of an aggregate of 548,610 private placement warrants to the Sponsor at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $548,610. In addition, VMAC issued 35,000 Representative Shares, at a price of $0.01 per share, and 500,000 Representative Warrants to I-Bankers (and/or its designees) in a private placement simultaneously with the closing of the IPO.

Prior to the consummation of the IPO, neither VMAC, nor anyone on its behalf, had selected any business combination target or initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with respect to identifying any business combination target.

After the IPO, VMAC’s officers and directors commenced an active search for prospective businesses or assets to acquire in the initial business combination. In the prospectus for the IPO, VMAC identified the following general criteria and guidelines that it believed would be important in evaluating acquisition opportunities, although it indicated that it may decide to enter an initial business combination with a target business that does not meet these criteria and guidelines. VMAC intended to acquire companies or assets that it believed had the following attributes:

•        a proven and experienced existing management team that is eager to take advantage of the experience and expertise that our management team brings with it;

•        high growth trajectories within the media and entertainment industry that are driven by competitive advantages that can be accelerated through a partnership with us;

•        within digital content production and distribution (e.g. OTT and video on demand), digital animation and visual effects and media technology businesses, which have benefited from the digitalization of media around the world;

•        management teams with the appetite and ability to execute various strategic initiatives, with an emphasis on those focused on creating shareholder value;

•        have diligent compliance and reporting processes, and financial controls in place and are thus prepared for the regulatory requirements of a public entity;

•        have the vision to take advantage of and appreciate the benefits of operating as a publicly-traded entity, including broader access to capital, liquidity for employee compensation and potential acquisitions, and expanded branding in the marketplace;

•        have multiple and diverse potential drivers of revenue and earnings growth. We intend to acquire one or more businesses that have the potential to generate strong and stable free cash flow; and

•        a decent market share and growth potential in the segments in which they operate, but available at a discount to valuation given the current economic environment due to the impact of COVID-19.

As disclosed in VMAC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and filed with the SEC on April 15, 2021, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on May 24, 2021, these criteria were not intended to be exhaustive. Any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular initial business combination was to be based, to the extent relevant, on these general guidelines as well as other considerations, factors and criteria that our management deemed relevant.

During the search process from the consummation of VMAC’s IPO through the signing on the Business Combination Agreement on March 3, 2021, VMAC reviewed self-generated ideas, explored ideas with I-Bankers, representatives of VMAC contacted, and were contacted by, a number of individuals and entities with respect to business combination opportunities and engaged with many possible target businesses in discussions with respect to potential business combinations. As part of that process, VMAC considered approximately twenty-four potential business combination targets in a wide variety of industry sectors, engaged in discussions with representatives of over forty-five potential business combination targets and conducted analysis and due diligence on a significant subset thereof. From the date of the IPO through March 3, 2021, representatives of VMAC entered into approximately twelve non-disclosure or confidentiality agreements with potential business combination targets (including Anghami) and entered into one letter of intent with Anghami. No non-disclosure, confidentiality or other agreement entered into with any potential business combination target imposed any “standstill” or similar restrictions that would restrict either the business combination target or VMAC from proposing or pursuing a transaction. However, VMAC ultimately determined to abandon each of the alternative acquisition opportunities either because the target pursued an alternative business combination or strategy, or VMAC concluded that the target business would not be a suitable acquisition for it given the eight criteria listed above.

On August 12, 2020, Mr. Cherian, VMAC’s Chief Executive Officer, emailed Tahir Mahmood, Head of Business Development, Nasdaq Dubai that VMAC started trading on Nasdaq and was commencing its search for a company in the Global Media & Entertainment space.

On September 2, 2020, Mr. Mahmood introduced Mr. Cherian to Alexandre Halm, the Managing Director at deNovo Corporate Advisors (“deNovo”), and Mr. Cherian and Mr. Halm discussed the background of VMAC and the types of target companies it was seeking and size and scope of potential transaction.

On September 18, 2020, Mr. Halm told Mr. Cherian about Anghami and Mr. Cherian asked deNovo to conduct research on the company.

On September 21, 2020, deNovo met with Mr. Rabih Khoury of Middle East Venture Partners, the largest shareholder of Anghami, and spoke about VMAC and its interest in the company.

On September 27, 2020, VMAC and deNovo entered into an engagement letter pursuant to which deNovo would act as an advisor to VMAC in connection with its business combination search.

On September 28, 2020, Mr. Cherian, Mr. Jawad Qasim of deNovo and Mr. Khoury of Middle East Venture Fund II L.P. (“MEVP”) met via a Zoom call to discuss Anghami.

On September 28, 2020, Mr. Cherian provided details of Anghami to Mike McCrory, Mathew McCloskey and Cade Liu of I-Bankers, the underwriter of its IPO.

On September 30, 2020, VMAC and Anghami entered into a nondisclosure agreement pursuant to which VMAC would begin to receive confidential information of Anghami in its evaluation of a potential transaction.

Over the next several weeks, Anghami provided documents and other information to VMAC to facilitate VMAC’s preliminary due diligence review of the Anghami business and the management of Anghami and VMAC held frequent Zoom meetings to discuss the business and financial performance of Anghami.

From October 15, 2020 to October 20, 2020, Mr. Cherian visited Dubai and met with Anghami’s management and various board members and shareholders to discuss the potential transaction and plans for the Anghami business.

On October 23, 2020, Anghami provided VMAC and certain of its advisors with access to an electronic data room containing information relating to Anghami for VMAC’s due diligence review. VMAC’s representatives and advisors commenced an extensive due diligence investigations of Anghami, which continued through February 2021.

Table of Contents

On October 23, 2020, VMAC’s board of directors met with the management team, who provided information regarding Anghami and set up each board member with the Anghami data room access.

On October 29, 2020, VMAC’s board of directors and management team met via Zoom with Anghami’s management team and members from deNovo and MEVP.

On November 3, 2020, following several weeks of discussions, VMAC and Anghami entered into a letter of intent to pursue a potential business combination.

Following execution of the Letter of Intent (“LOI”), VMAC directed its advisors to commence extensive diligence on Anghami. In addition, between early November and January, several virtual meetings and teleconferences occurred that involved VMAC or its advisors and some that involved Anghami and its advisors. In general, these virtual meetings focused on diligence, discussions with respect to potential growth and support of Anghami’s business and the honing of the investor presentation to be utilized in connection with the prospective PIPE fundraising.

Following execution of the LOI, VMAC contacted SHUAA and another bank to act as placement agents for the PIPE. Between November 2020 and January 2021, VMAC negotiated the terms of the potential engagement of each bank and on January 20, 2021, VMAC formally engaged SHUAA to act as placement agent. VMAC ultimately selected SHUAA to act as placement agent because of, among other things, SHUAA’s expertise in Anghami’s industry and the strength of SHUAA’s capital markets practice in the Middle East. Following extensive investor outreach, SHUAA ultimately entered into a Subscription Agreement with VMAC to subscribe for $30 million in PIPE Shares for certain of its retail accounts.

Following the execution of the LOI, VMAC and Winston & Strawn LLP, its legal counsel (“Winston”) and Anghami and Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP (“Norton Rose”) held several discussions regarding the structure of the potential business combination and other preliminary transaction related matters. Once the structure was determined, Winston began work on an initial draft of the Business Combination Agreement. The first draft was delivered by Winston to Norton Rose on February 7, 2021. A revised draft of the Business Combination Agreement was provided by Norton Rose on February 15, 2021. Winston and Norton Rose then exchanged multiple drafts of the Business Combination Agreement prior to the execution thereof. The focus of negotiations related to the breadth and depth of both the representations and warranties, the interim operating covenants and whether or not to include adjustments to the consideration to be received by the Anghami shareholders for net capital, indebtedness and transaction expenses. Other key points of negotiation included the negotiation around the cash component of the consideration and the circumstances regarding potential adjustments to the cash consideration.

On February 17, 2021, VMAC’s board of directors held a video meeting to discuss the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and the other definitive agreements for the Business Combination between VMAC and Anghami and the PIPE. The VMAC board reviewed management’s valuation ascribed to Anghami in connection with the proposed business combination. Thereafter, Winston reviewed, among other things, the results of the legal diligence and the material terms of the proposed Business Combination. Following these presentations, F. Jacob Cherian reviewed for VMAC’s board of directors the strategic reasons for pursuing a business combination with Anghami. Thereafter, VMAC’s board of directors engaged in extensive discussion and deliberation. Following thorough discussion, VMAC’s board of directors determined to adjourn in order to afford directors more time to study the materials presented to VMAC’s board of directors and to review the proposed Business Combination Agreement and the other definitive agreements contemplated thereby.

On March 2, 2021, via action taken by written consent, VMAC’s board of directors unanimously approved the entry into the Business Combination Agreement and the other definitive agreements contemplated thereby.

On March 3, 2021, the parties entered into the Business Combination Agreement and the other definitive agreements contemplated thereby. Later that day, Anghami and VMAC issued a press release announcing the entry into the Business Combination Agreement.

VMAC’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination

As described under “The Background of the Business Combination” above, VMAC’s board of directors, in evaluating the Business Combination, consulted with VMAC’s management and financial and legal advisors. In reaching its unanimous decision to approve the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, VMAC’s board of directors considered a range of factors, including, but not limited to, the factors discussed below. In light of the complexity of such factors, VMAC’s board of directors, as a whole, did not consider it practicable to, nor did it attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors it took into account in reaching its decision. Individual members of VMAC’s board of directors may have given different weight to different factors.

The explanation of the reasons for the approval by VMAC’s board of directors of the Business Combination, and all other information presented in this section, is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed in the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.

Before reaching its decision, VMAC’s board of directors discussed the results of the due diligence conducted by VMAC’s management, and their advisors, which included:

•        review of Anghami’s material contracts, intellectual property, financial, tax, legal, real estate and accounting due diligence;

•        meetings and calls with the management team and advisors of Anghami regarding operations and forecasts;

•        consultations with Anghami’s management and legal and financial advisors;

•        Anghami’s audited and unaudited financial statements;

•        financial review and analysis of Anghami and the Business Combination;

•        financial projections prepared by Anghami’s management team;

•        analysis on comparable target companies; and

•        research on comparable transactions.

In approving the Business Combination, VMAC’s board of directors determined not to obtain a fairness opinion. The officers and directors of VMAC have substantial experience in evaluating the operating and financial merits of companies from a wide range of industries and concluded that their experience and background, together with the experience and sector expertise of I-Bankers and their consultants, enabled them to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the Business Combination. However, VMAC’s management and advisors prepared an analysis with respect to the market valuation of comparable companies as described in greater detail in the below section entitled “Market Valuation of Comparable Companies.

VMAC’s board of directors considered a wide range of factors pertaining to the Business Combination as generally supporting its decision to enter into the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including, but not limited to, the following:

•        Significant Revenue and Earnings Growth Potential:    Anghami is a growth oriented business that VMAC believed exhibits sound, underlying fundamentals as well as demonstrated revenue growth and a clear path to profitability. In addition, VMAC expected that Anghami would have multiple organic and M&A-driven potential growth opportunities over time.

•        High-Growth Market:    VMAC believed Anghami is a professionally managed media-tech firm with world-class technology systems and processes to manage their key performance indicators across their markets.

•        Category of One” Company:    Anghami’s unique digital entertainment platform unifies the highly fragmented music ecosystem in the MENA Region for all key constituents. While several publicly traded companies compete with Anghami in certain aspects of its business, VMAC believed Anghami is uniquely positioned to dominate the MENA Region.

107

Table of Contents

•        Innovation:    VMAC believed that Anghami has a well-established technology developed using modern development practices. The architecture is flexible and the infrastructure is scalable and VMAC believed it should be able to support the significant growth VMAC expected Anghami to achieve.

•        Attractive Adjusted EBITDA and Cash Flow Profile:    Anghami is a potential high growth digital entertainment platform business that VMAC expected to be EBIDTA positive in the near future, with an Adjusted EBITA margin that VMAC’s directors believed to be attractive. VMAC believed that Anghami has favorable unit economics and operating leverage and that these would drive an increase in normalized Adjusted Gross Margins. The board of VMAC further considered that Anghami intends to accomplish this margin expansion while investing extensively into its business.

•        Experienced and Motivated Management Team:    Anghami is a founder-driven business led by its Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Maroun and Chief Technology Officer Mr. Habib. Upon completion of the Business Combination, Mr. Cherian will join the company as co-Chief Executive Officer for a term of one year from appointment, in addition to being a member of the board of directors of Pubco.

•        Attractive Investor Base:    Anghami’s investors currently include leading MENA financial investors including venture capital firms, private equity firms and strategic shareholders, including MBC group, a Saudi-owned media conglomerate, and other leading telecommunications companies.

The statements above, and elsewhere in “VMAC’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination” are intended to be qualified by and made subject to the cautionary language included in the sections of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Certain Unaudited Prospective Financial Information of Anghami”, “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors.”

In the course of its deliberations, VMAC’s board of directors also considered a variety of uncertainties, risks and other potentially negative factors relevant to the Business Combination, including, but not limited to, the following:

•        The risk that VMAC’s public stockholders would vote against the Business Combination proposal or exercise their redemption rights: The board of directors considered the risk that some of the current public stockholders would vote against the Business Combination proposal or decide to exercise their redemption rights, thereby depleting the amount of cash available in the Trust Account to an amount below the minimum required to consummate the Business Combination. The board concluded, however, that this risk was substantially mitigated because VMAC would have secured commitments equal approximately to $40 million, which is more than the minimum proceeds necessary for consummating the Business Combination. Further, the fact that public stockholders may vote for the Business Combination proposal while also exercising their redemption rights mitigates against any incentive a public stockholder might have to vote against the Business Combination proposal, especially to the extent that they hold public warrants which would be worthless if the Business Combination is not completed;

•        The risk that management and directors may have different interests in the Business Combination than the public stockholders: The board of directors also considered the fact that members of VMAC’s management and board of directors may have interests that are different from, or are in addition to, the interests of its stockholders generally. However, the board of directors concluded that the potentially disparate interests would be mitigated because (i) these interests were disclosed in the IPO prospectus and (ii) these disparate interests would exist or may be even greater with respect to a business combination with another target company;

•        Risks related to Anghami’s business: With respect to Anghami’s business, VMAC’s management and the board of directors considered (i) Anghami ’s historical growth rates and its ability to significantly accelerate its growth rate; (ii) the competitive industry in which Anghami operates; and (iii) Anghami’s ability to adapt to changing market conditions, including due to COVID-19. VMAC’s management and the board of directors believed that although these risks could not be eliminated, the Anghami management team was aware of these risks and was well-positioned to address them.

Valuation

Under the Business Combination Agreement, VMAC has agreed to combine with Anghami based on a $180 million pre-money enterprise value to be paid in cash and common shares of VMAC. The total consideration represents a market value of equity in excess of 80% of the assets held in VMAC’s Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account), a requirement for an initial business combination.

To determine Anghami’s valuation, VMAC’s board of directors relied on the following sources (i) due diligence on Anghami’s business operations; (ii) research reports and data related to the digital entertainment and music industry; (iii) VMAC management’s collective experience in public markets transactions in constructing and evaluating financial models/projections and conducting valuations of businesses; (iv) VMAC management’s collective experience with similar digital technology business models. In addition, during the course of valuing Anghami, VMAC’s management engaged an independent third party to identify several comparable public companies in the digital entertainment space and provide a comparable valuation analysis. Although Anghami does not have a direct operating comparable that offers a comprehensive digital entertainment solution in the MENA Region, VMAC’s management determined that the most relevant publicly traded high-growth digital entertainment companies are Roku Inc., Twilio Inc., Netflix Inc., Amazon Inc., Spotify Technology S.A., Cur Media and Now News Digital Media Technology Co. Ltd. VMAC’s management believes that the Combined Company is likely to be considered to be in one or more of these categories by potential investors based on its business and financial model. The following is the financial trading multiples of these companies and Anghami that was considered by the VMAC board of directors:

After extensive review, VMAC’s board of directors concluded that the potential benefits that it expects VMAC and its stockholders to realize as a result of the Business Combination outweigh the potential risks associated with the Business Combination. Accordingly, VMAC’s board of directors, based on its consideration of the specific factors listed above, unanimously approved and declared advisable the Business Combination Agreement, the other ancillary documents and all transactions contemplated thereby.

Interests of VMAC’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination

In considering the recommendation of VMAC’s board of directors to vote in favor of the Business Combination, stockholders should be aware that, aside from their interests as stockholders, the Sponsor and certain of VMAC’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of other stockholders generally. VMAC’s directors were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating the Business Combination, in recommending to stockholders that they approve the Business Combination and in agreeing to vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination. Stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Business Combination. These interests include, among other things:

•        If the Business Combination with Anghami or another business combination is not consummated by February 11, 2022 (or such later date that may be approved by VMAC’s stockholders), VMAC will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding VMAC public shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and its board of directors,

dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the Founder Shares held by the Sponsor and VMAC’s directors and officers, which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to the IPO, would be worthless because the holders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. Such shares had an aggregate market value of $25,350,000 based upon the closing price of $10.14 per share on Nasdaq on November 4, 2021. On the other hand, if the Business Combination is consummated, each outstanding share of VMAC Common Stock will be converted into the right to receive one share of Pubco pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement.

•        The Sponsor purchased 500,000 Private Placement Warrants from VMAC for $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant. This purchase took place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO. All of the proceeds VMAC received from these purchases were placed in the trust account. Such Private Placement Warrant. had an aggregate market value of $465,000 based upon the closing price of $0.93 per warrant on Nasdaq on November 4, 2021. The VMAC Class A Common Stock underlying the Private Placement Warrants had an aggregate market value of $5,070,000 based upon the closing price of $10.14 per share on Nasdaq on November 4, 2021. The Private Placement Warrants and VMAC Class A Common Stock underlying the Private Placement Warrants will become worthless if VMAC does not consummate a business combination by February 11, 2022 (or such later date that may be approved by VMAC’s stockholders). On the other hand, if the Business Combination is consummated, each outstanding warrant will be converted into the right to acquire the same number of Pubco Ordinary Shares, at the same exercise price and on the same terms as in effect immediately prior to the Closing.

•        VMAC’s Initial Stockholders and owners of Private Placement Warrants paid significantly less for their shares and warrants than other current stockholders and holders of warrants paid for their shares and warrants purchased in the IPO or in the open market thereafter. Prior to the consummation of the IPO, Sponsor purchased 2,875,000 Founder Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.009 per share. Of these Founder Shares, 375,000 were forfeited by our Sponsor due to the underwriters’ not exercising the over-allotment option in connection with the IPO. Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, VMAC consummated the private sale of 500,000 Private Placement Warrants to Sponsor, each of which entitles the holder to purchase one share of VMAC Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, at a price of $1.00 per warrant. Each outstanding Pubco Ordinary Share will have a target value at the time of the Business Combination of $10.00. If the Business Combination is consummated, based on the difference in the purchase price of $0.009 per share that the Sponsor paid for the Founder Shares, as compared to the purchase price of $10.00 per Unit sold in the IPO, these initial stockholders and holders of Private Placement Warrants will be able, at a lower price per Pubco Ordinary Share, to recognize a greater return on their investment than stockholders or holders of warrants that purchased VMAC Common Stock or VMAC warrants in the IPO or in the open market thereafter. Furthermore, the Sponsor may earn a positive rate of return even if the price of the Pubco Ordinary Shares after the Closing falls below the price initially paid for the units in the IPO and the VMAC Stockholders may experience a negative rate of return following the Closing of the Business Combination.

•        If VMAC is unable to complete a business combination within the required time period, the aggregate dollar amount of non-reimbursable funds is $27,065,000, comprised of (a) $25,350,000 representing the market value of Founder Shares, (b) $465,000 representing the market value of Private Placement Warrants and (c) $1,250,000 of unpaid expenses incurred by the Sponsor and VMAC’s officers and directors and their affiliates. Certain VMAC directors and executive officers have indirect economic interests in the Private Placement Warrants and in the Founder Shares.

•        The Sponsor has agreed not to redeem any shares of VMAC Common Stock held by it in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination,

•        The VMAC Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if VMAC fails to complete an initial business combination by February 11, 2022 (or such later date that may be approved by VMAC’s stockholders),

•        The potential continuation of certain of VMAC’s directors and officers as directors or officers of Pubco.

110

Table of Contents

•        The continued indemnification of current directors and officers of VMAC and the continuation of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination.

•        The Sponsor has agreed to loan VMAC up to $300,000 in the aggregate, to be used for a portion of the expenses of the Public Offering. The Sponsor also agreed to loan an additional $1,000,000 in connection with its funding of the extension payment to extend the period of time that VMAC has to consummate its initial business combination by three months to November 11, 2021. The loans are non-interest bearing and unsecured.

•        VMAC’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains a waiver of the corporate opportunity doctrine, and there could have been business combination targets that have been appropriate for a combination with VMAC but were not offered due to a VMAC director’s duties to another entity. VMAC does not believe that the waiver of the corporate opportunity doctrine in its second amended and restated certificate of incorporation interfered with its ability to identify an acquisition target.

Potential Actions to Secure Requisite Stockholder Approvals

In connection with the stockholder vote to approve the Business Combination, the Sponsor and VMAC’s directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may privately negotiate transactions to purchase shares of VMAC Common Stock from stockholders who would have otherwise elected to have their shares redeemed in conjunction with the Business Combination for a per-share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. None of the Sponsor or VMAC’s directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates will make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller. Such a purchase of shares may include a contractual acknowledgement that such stockholder, although still the record holder of the shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that the Sponsor or VMAC’s directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from Public Stockholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling stockholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. Any such privately negotiated purchases may be effected at purchase prices that are in excess of the per-share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. The purpose of such share purchases would be to increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the Business Combination or to satisfy the closing condition in the Business Combination Agreement that VMAC has, in the aggregate, cash (held both in and outside of the Trust Account) that is equal to or greater than $40 million.

Regulatory Approvals Required for the Business Combination

Non-U.S. regulatory bodies and U.S. state attorneys general could take action under other applicable regulatory laws as they deem necessary or desirable in the public interest, including, without limitation, seeking to enjoin or otherwise prevent the completion of the Business Combination or permitting completion subject to regulatory conditions. Private parties may also seek to take legal action under regulatory laws under some circumstances. There can be no assurance that a challenge to the Business Combination on antitrust grounds will not be made or, if such a challenge is made, that it would not be successful. VMAC and Anghami are not aware of any other regulatory approvals in the United States, the Cayman Islands or elsewhere required for the consummation of the Business Combination.

Listing of Pubco Ordinary Shares

Approval of the listing on Nasdaq of the Pubco Ordinary Shares to be issued in the Business Combination, subject to official notice of issuance, is a condition to each party’s obligation to complete the Business Combination.

Accounting Treatment of the Business Combination

The exchange of Anghami’s shares for Pubco’s shares will be accounted for as a transaction under common control in accordance with IFRS. The exchange of VMAC’s shares for Pubco’s shares will be accounted for as a “reverse acquisition” in accordance with IFRS. Under this method of accounting, VMAC will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes.

111

Table of Contents

This determination was primarily based on the guidance provided in IFRS 3 (Business Combinations) and IFRS 10 (Consolidated Financial Statements) and was based on the assumptions that Anghami’s operations will substantially comprise the ongoing operations of the Combined Company, Anghami’s designees are expected to comprise a majority of the governing body of the Combined Company, Anghami’s senior management will comprise the senior management of the Combined Company, and Anghami’s existing shareholders will be the largest group of shareholders of the Combined Company following the consummation of the Business Combination (Anghami’s existing shareholders are expected to represent between 45.01% (assuming a no-redemption scenario) to 69.73% (assuming the maximum redemption scenario) of the Combined Company).

Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the exchange of VMAC’s shares for Pubco shares will be treated as the equivalent of Pubco issuing shares for the net assets of VMAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. It has been determined that VMAC is not a business under IFRS, hence the transaction is accounted for within the scope of IFRS 2 (“share-based payment”).

In accordance with IFRS 2, the difference in the fair value of Pubco’s equity instruments deemed issued to VMAC shareholders over the fair value of identifiable net assets of VMAC represents a service for listing, and is accounted for as a share-based payment which is expensed as incurred. The net assets of the Combined Company will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the exchange of VMAC’s shares for Pubco’s shares will be deemed to be those of Pubco.

Certain Unaudited Prospective Financial Information of Anghami

Anghami does not as a matter of course publicly disclose long-term forecasts or internal projections as to performance, revenue, earnings, financial condition, or other results. However, Anghami management prepared and provided to VMAC and potential PIPE investors certain internal, unaudited prospective financial information in connection with the evaluation of the Business Combination. Anghami management prepared such financial information based on their judgment and assumptions regarding the future financial performance of Anghami at the time of such preparation. The inclusion of the below unaudited prospective financial information should not be regarded as an indication that Anghami or any other recipient of this unaudited prospective financial information considered — or now considers — it to be necessarily predictive of actual future results.

The unaudited prospective financial information is subjective in many respects and is thus susceptible to multiple interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments. As a result, the unaudited prospective results may not be realized and actual results are likely to be significantly different than estimated. Since the unaudited prospective financial information covers multiple years, the unaudited prospective financial information by its nature becomes less predictive with each successive year and with the passage of time since the preparation of such unaudited prospective financial information.

While presented in this proxy statement/prospectus with numeric specificity, the information set forth in the summary below was based on numerous variables and assumptions that are inherently uncertain and may be beyond the control of Anghami management, including, among other things, the matters described in the sections entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors.” Anghami believes the assumptions in the unaudited prospective financial information were reasonable at the time that the unaudited prospective financial information was prepared, given the information Anghami had at the time. However, important factors that may affect actual results and cause the results reflected in the unaudited prospective financial information not to be achieved include, among other things, risks and uncertainties relating to Anghami’s business, industry performance, consumer behavior, the competitive intensity, the size of the addressable market, the regulatory environment, the length of the period of time between when the unaudited prospective financial information was prepared and when the Business Combination Agreement was signed and also the length of the period of time between the signing of the Business Combination Agreement and closing of the Business Combination, cash and funding requirements prior to Closing, timing and availability of funding sources after Closing and general business and economic conditions. The unaudited prospective financial information also reflects assumptions as to certain business decisions that were and are subject to change. The unaudited prospective financial information was not prepared with a view toward public disclosure or with a view toward complying with the guidelines of the SEC, or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants with respect to unaudited prospective financial information, but, in the view of Anghami management, was prepared at the time on a reasonable basis, reflected the best currently

112

Table of Contents

available estimates and judgments, and presented, to the best of Anghami management’s knowledge and belief at the time of preparation, the expected course of action and the expected future financial performance of Anghami. However, this information is not fact and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results; since the projections cover multiple years, such information by its nature becomes less predictive with each successive year; and readers of this proxy statement/ prospectus are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the unaudited prospective financial information.

Neither Anghami’s independent auditors, nor any other independent accountants, have complied with, examined or performed any procedures with respect to the unaudited prospective financial information contained herein, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such unaudited prospective financial information or its achievability, and assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the unaudited prospective financial information. The audit reports included in this proxy statement/prospectus relate to historical financial information. They do not extend to the unaudited prospective financial information and should not be read to do so.

EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS, ANGHAMI DOES NOT INTEND TO MAKE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE ANY UPDATE OR OTHER REVISION TO THE UNAUDITED PROSPECTIVE FINANCIAL INFORMATION, EVEN IN THE EVENT THAT ANY OR ALL OF THE ASSUMPTIONS ARE SHOWN TO BE IN ERROR. THE UNAUDITED PROSPECTIVE FINANCIAL INFORMATION DOES NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ANY CIRCUMSTANCES OR EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER THE DATE THAT THE UNAUDITED PROSPECTIVE FINANCIAL INFORMATION WAS PREPARED. READERS OF THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS ARE CAUTIONED NOT TO RELY ON THE UNAUDITED PROSPECTIVE FINANCIAL INFORMATION SET FORTH BELOW. NONE OF ANGHAMI OR ANY OF ITS RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, ADVISORS OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVES HAS MADE OR MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION TO ANY ANGHAMI SHAREHOLDER, VMAC STOCKHOLDER, PIPE INVESTOR, OR ANY OTHER PERSON REGARDING ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE COMPARED TO THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE UNAUDITED PROSPECTIVE FINANCIAL INFORMATION OR THAT FINANCIAL AND OPERATING RESULTS WILL BE ACHIEVED. ANGHAMI DOES NOT INTEND TO REFERENCE THE UNAUDITED PROSPECTIVE FINANCIAL INFORMATION IN ITS FUTURE PERIODIC REPORTS FILED UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT.

Certain of the measures included in the unaudited prospective financial information may be considered non-IFRS financial measures, such measures include Total Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Gross Profits (and Adjusted Gross Margin), Adjusted EBITDA (and Adjusted EBITDA Margin), EBIT (and EBIT Margin), Change in NWC and Free Cash Flow. Non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with IFRS financial measure. Furthermore, non-IFRS financial measures as used by Anghami may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other issuers. Financial measures provided in connection with a business combination transaction are excluded from the definition of non-IFRS financial measures and therefore are not subject to SEC rules regarding disclosures of non-IFRS financial measures, which would otherwise require a reconciliation of a non-IFRS financial measure to a IFRS financial measure. In addition, certain of the financial measures (such as the ones listed in the table below and referred to in this section) included in the unaudited prospective financial information may not have the same definition as those reported in the audited financial statements and should be interpreted differently. Accordingly, we have not provided a reconciliation of such financial measures. We have referred to Total Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA to distinguish them from Total Revenue, Gross Profit and EBITDA as used elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The use of Total Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA in the unaudited prospective financial information does not include every entry item included in Total Revenue, Gross Profit or in the EBITDA as used elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Set forth below are summaries of two sets of unaudited prospective financial information that were prepared by Anghami in connection with VMAC’s consideration of the Business Combination. In November 2020, Anghami prepared what is referred to below as “Summary Model One Anghami Projections” and in December 2020, Anghami prepared a revised set of unaudited prospective financial information to take into consideration certain alternate assumptions. This second set of unaudited prospective financial information is referred to below as the “Summary Model Two Anghami Projections”.

(2)      Paid users means a user who subscribes to Anghami Premium service. The figures reported in these tables present the estimated Paid Subscribers as of the month of December of the referenced year.

(3)      Total Adjusted Revenue includes subscription revenue, ad-supported revenue, content licensing revenue and social billing revenue. The Total Adjusted Revenue figures do not include the unearned revenue adjustment which is estimated at approximately 1% of subscription revenue for the referenced year. Content licensing revenue is generated from Anghami licensing its owned content to third parties. Social billing revenue represents Anghami’s share of the micro payments made by Anghami’s users to tip broadcasters using Live Radio features.

(4)      Adjusted Gross Profit is adjusted to include the cost of sales and advertising related to Anghami’s ad-supported segment but is not adjusted to include the cost of publishing rights, whereas Gross Profit as included in Anghami’s financial statements includes the cost of publishing rights. The cost of publishing rights is included in the Adjusted EBITDA, as discussed below. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with the definition of Gross Profit as calculated in the unaudited prospective financial information, may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other issuers, because not all issuers calculate Gross Profit in the same manner.

(5)      Adjusted EBITDA is adjusted to include the cost of publishing rights but does not include the cost of stock-based compensation or net foreign exchange differences. Stock-based compensation and net foreign exchange differences have not been estimated as part the unaudited prospective financial information. Adjusted EBITDA Margin as here used means Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Total Adjusted Revenue. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with the definition of Adjusted EBITDA as calculated in the unaudited prospective financial information, may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other issuers, because not all issuers calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net loss or any other performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of Anghami’s liquidity.

(6)      EBIT refers to earnings before interest and taxes. EBIT margin refers to EBIT as a percentage of Adjusted Gross Revenue.

(7)      Capex includes projected investment in product development and in content production. For Model One, the capex figures include a projected investment in content production of $500,000, $3 million, $8 million, $20 million, and $36 million, respectively from 2021 through 2025. For Model Two, the capex figures include a projected investment in content production of $500,000, $3 million, $8 million, $25 million, $45 million, respectively from 2021 through 2025.

(8)      NWC (net working capital) is defined as current assets (meaning accounts receivable, the changes in unbilled receivables, the changes in ADIO receivables, the changes in prepaid expenses and other debit balances, but excluding cash) minus current liabilities (meaning accounts payable and other credit balance). Change in NWC means the change in these items over the period. An increase in NWC over the period is here represented as a negative number, as it indicates a use of cash. A decrease in the NWC over the period is here represented as a positive number, as it indicates a source of cash.

(9)      Free Cash Flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA plus Capex (expressed as a negative number) plus Change in NWC.

The numbers included in the table above represent certain summary financial metrics that Anghami provided to VMAC in connection with VMAC’s consideration of the Business Combination. Anghami provided the above summary financial metrics over a five-year period as it believed that the penetration in the MENA region music streaming market is at a nascent stage and Anghami expected the market to witness significant growth over the next five years. Accordingly, Anghami believed that showing a five-year period provided a long enough time frame to show the expected growth of its market, while still limiting the number of years presented. Additionally, Anghami also desired to reflect two rounds of financing over the five-year period in the summary financial metrics, because Anghami believed that it would likely require an additional financing in the period after the closing of the Business Combination. While the projected growth rates used for the above unaudited prospective financial information are higher than what Anghami has historically achieved, Anghami has relied on the injection of cash and the various assumptions underlying the unaudited prospective financial information, as detailed below, in calculating such growth rates. The unaudited prospective financial information was prepared using numerous assumptions, including the following assumptions that Anghami management believed to be material. Anghami believed these assumptions were reasonable at the time made based on Anghami management’s experience in running Anghami’s business, their knowledge of the market, and Anghami’s historical operating performance. As there has been a significant passage of time between the time of preparation of the unaudited prospective financial information and this proxy statement/prospectus, Anghami expects that the unaudited prospective financial information contained in this section, and the assumptions underlying such unaudited prospective financial information, have changed and will continue to change. Accordingly, Anghami cautions investors not to rely on the unaudited prospective financial information in this section as an accurate prediction of future operating performance.

•        The Summary Model One Anghami Projections were prepared during November 2020 and assumed that Anghami would receive $50 million in net cash in June 2021 as a result of the closing of the Business Combination (which has not occurred) and additional equity investment of $25 million in January 2024.

115

Table of Contents

•        The Summary Model Two Anghami Projections were prepared during December 2020 and assumed that Anghami would receive $65 million in net cash in August 2021 as a result of the closing of the Business Combination (which has not occurred) and additional debt investment of $100 million in January 2024.

•        The unaudited prospective financial information was based on Anghami’s historical operating and financial performance metrics for the periods prior to its preparation, accordingly Anghami believes it is likely that such information may not be an accurate representation of the unaudited prospective financial information if such unaudited prospective financial information had been prepared as of the time of this proxy statement/prospectus.

•        The unaudited prospective financial information assumes that Anghami will expand its presence in its core markets and will cater to subscribers in the Arab diaspora outside the MENA Region. The projected investment in marketing to target the Arab diaspora assumed here is approximately $6 million for Summary Model One Anghami Projections and approximately $13 million for Summary Model Two Anghami Projections, for the period between 2022 and 2025.

•        The assumed amounts of additional funding from debt and equity may not be reflective of the actual capital needs of Anghami at such time and such additional funding amounts were selected purely for purposes of discussion between the parties as to the possible impact of raising debt in lieu of equity in future periods.

•        Total Adjusted Revenue as shown above is based on a variety of operational assumptions, including among others the continued development of the Anghami platform, the continued expansion of the music streaming market, the continued expansion of the adoption of music streaming in Anghami’s target demographics, the commercialization timing for new Anghami products under development, the growth of Anghami’s user base, the growth of Anghami’s subscriber base, the growth of Anghami’s content production, the increase of advertising revenue and the increase in new revenue streams such as content licensing and social billing. The Total Adjusted Revenue as shown in the Summary Model One Anghami Projections and the Summary Model Two Anghami Projections provided above assume that Anghami would receive at least $50 million in net cash in June 2021 or $65 million in net cash in August 2021, respectively, as a result of the closing of the Business Combination. Accordingly, these models assumed that Anghami would deploy a portion of this capital in marketing and other efforts to support growth of Anghami’s user base and such models reflect Anghami’s expected revenue as a result of such efforts. Similarly, the Total Adjusted Revenue projections for 2024 and 2025 reflect the use of additional capital expected in January 2024 for marketing and growth efforts.

The growth in Total Adjusted Revenues is driven by growth in Ad-Supported Free service and Premium subscribers.

Anghami’s growth in Adjusted Subscription Revenue is driven by marketing spend, cost of acquiring new Ad-Supported Free service, churn rates, Ad-Supported Free users-to-Premium subscribers conversion rates and ARPUs for Premium subscribers. A discussion of these key drivers and underlying assumptions with respect to Anghami’s growth in Adjusted Subscription Revenue is set for the below:

•        Growth in Monthly Active Users:    Marketing spend is used to acquire new users across the targeted markets. We forecasted the number of new active users by dividing expected marketing spend by the expected user cost of acquisition (“CAC”) in the different targeted markets. In our projections, we assumed CAC will increase from a historical average of $0.43 to $2.81 by the year 2025E.

•        Churn Rates on new users:    We forecasted the monthly churn rate applied on the acquired new users based on historical average. The Company forecasted the average churn rates of new users to drop from the historical average of 48% to 38% by the year 2025. We believe the increased marketing spending and original content is expected to increase brand loyalty and decrease churn rates.

•        Conversion Rates:    We forecasted a conversion rate from monthly active users to Premium subscribers to increase from the historical average of 20% to reach 34% in the year 2025. We believe the increased marketing spending and original content is expected to increase conversion rates. The remaining active users in our prospective financial information are forecast to be the Ad-Supported Free users.

116

Table of Contents

•        Premium subscribers ARPU:    We forecasted that the Premium subscribers ARPU will remain relatively stable over the projected period compared to historical averages.

Based on Anghami’s historical operating and financial performance metrics for the periods prior to its preparation of the the unaudited prospective financial information, Adjusted Advertising Revenue is projected as 25% of Anghami’s Adjusted Subscription Revenue, driven by growth of Adjusted Subscription Revenue and the 25% assumption metric.

Adjusted Social Billing Revenue is projected by converting a percentage of MAU to social billing users and assuming an APRU on social media features. The key metrics for growth in Adjusted Social Billing is the conversion from MAU to social billing and the assumed ARPU. Social billing conversion is increasing from 5% to 20% over the projected period while ARPU is increasing from USD 0.5 to USD 1.

Adjusted Content Licensing Revenue is a function of the investment in content and return on investment on content. Anghami has assumed ROI on content marketing of 60% in line with historical performance. The key drivers of content licensing revenue are the 60% ROI and investment in content.

•        Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA as shown above are driven by a multitude of factors attributed among others to efficiencies through data management, cost optimizations from the use of Anghami’s own produced content, relying on Telcos for continued subscriber growth, new technologies and product design, the growth in higher margin revenue streams such as content licensing and social billing.

•        In addition, the foregoing assumptions regarding Total Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA are based on Anghami’s estimate of future operating expenses, including estimates of the future cost of content licensing, content creation and content delivery. As discussed above with respect to Total Adjusted Revenue, the assumed cash infusion as a result of the Business Combination and the assumed January 2024 capital raise will drive revenue but will also support Anghami’s initiatives focusing on higher margin revenue streams, such as content licensing, content creation and social billing. Anghami assumes this higher margin activity will positively impact Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA. Similarly, Anghami expects the cash infusion to drive marketing and other growth efforts that will positively impact MAUs and Premium Subscriber numbers. The increase in Capex (which includes content creation and content acquisition but not content licensing) in the above models is based on the estimated growth in content acquisition and content creation driven by the cash infusion.

•        The unaudited prospective financial information was based on Anghami’s historical operating performance metrics and historical financial information including but not limited to user cost of acquisition, monthly churn, conversion rate, average monthly subscription revenue per user, addressable market, penetration, and cost of content production, all of which may have changed since the date of the preparation of the unaudited prospective financial information. However, in order to be conservative, Anghami has estimated a higher user cost of acquisition going forward than its historical amount, as well as higher operating expenses related to increased compensation amounts and growth of the team and as necessary.

•        The unaudited prospective financial information was also based on other assumptions that impact profitability projections including, but not limited to, Anghami management’s operational focus and investment focus on growth (including through higher penetration in its current markets, growing in new markets, growing its new revenue streams, investing in its streaming platform, and investing in the creation of its own content), date and amount of available growth capital, investment in product development, headcount, third party contractors, and investment in content production, but excluding costs associated with the consummation of the merger and excluding costs associated with public company operations and compliance.

In making the foregoing assumptions on which the unaudited prospective financial information is based, Anghami management relied on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the following factors:

•        its estimates of market maturity over the projected period;

•        its estimates of the size of its addressable market over the projected period;

•        its estimates of the competitive environment in its market over the projected period;

117

Table of Contents

•        its estimates of forecasts for the growth of its industry;

•        its estimates of the availability of growth capital (equity or debt);

•        its estimates of the timing for new product features or content releases and overall product development process;

•        the relevant uses of Anghami platform for different features and market segments;

•        the historical usage patterns of Anghami users;

•        non-occurrence of any materially disruptive technology or geopolitical or economic events that could impact Anghami’s services or its customers’ ability to pay; and

•        third party forecast data for addressable market population size, internet penetration and demographics age groups sourced from The World Bank and Population Pyramid databases.

THE BUSINESS COMBINATION AGREEMENT

This section of the proxy statement/prospectus describes the material provisions of the Business Combination Agreement, but does not purport to describe all of the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex A hereto. Certain figures included in this section have been rounded for ease of presentation and, as a result, percentages may not sum to 100%.

The Business Combination

On March 3, 2021, VMAC, Anghami, Pubco, Anghami Vista 1 (“Vistas Merger Sub”) and Anghami Vista 2 (“Anghami Merger Sub”) entered into the Business Combination Agreement, which contains customary representations and warranties, covenants, closing conditions, termination fee provisions and other terms relating to the mergers and the other transactions contemplated thereby, as summarized below. Capitalized terms used in this section but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Business Combination Agreement.

The Structure of the Business Combination

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, following the effectiveness of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination, the VMAC will merge with Vistas Merger Sub (the “Vistas Merger”), with VMAC continuing as the surviving company and Anghami will merge with Anghami Merger Sub (the “Anghami Merger”), with Anghami continuing as the surviving company. As a result of these two mergers, the Business Combination will be effective and the two Merger Subs will cease to exist and VMAC and Anghami will become direct wholly-owned subsidiaries of Pubco. Accordingly, VMAC and Anghami shareholders will be shareholders of Pubco.

The closing of the Vistas Merger and the Anghami Merger (the “Closing”) will take place three days after the Conditions to the Obligations of the Parties, as described below, are satisfied or waived or such other time and place as VMAC and Anghami may mutually agree in writing. The date on which the Closing actually occurs is the Closing Date.

At the Vistas Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the Vistas Merger and without any further action on the part of VMAC, Vistas Merger Sub, Anghami Merger Sub, Pubco or Anghami or the holders of any of their securities:

•        each outstanding VMAC Unit and Private Placement Unit shall automatically be exchanged for one share of Vistas Class A common stock and one VMAC Warrant;

•        each share of Vistas Class A common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Vistas Merger Effective Time automatically converts to the right to receive one Pubco Ordinary Share, after which all Vistas Class A common stock shall be cancelled and shall cease to be outstanding;

•        each share of Vistas Class B common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Vistas Merger Effective Time automatically converts to the right to receive one Pubco Ordinary Share, following which all such shares of Vistas Class B Common Stock shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist;

•        each share of capital stock of VMAC owned by VMAC as treasury shares immediately prior to the Vistas Merger Effective Time shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or payment therefor; and

•        each VMAC Warrant outstanding immediately prior to the Vistas Merger Effective Time shall be converted into one Pubco Warrant. Each Pubco Warrant shall have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the Warrant Agreement, except that they shall represent the right to acquire a Pubco share instead of a share of Vistas Class A Common Stock. In addition, each Representative Warrant immediately prior to the Vistas Merger Effective Time shall be converted into one Representative Pubco Warrant. Each Representative Pubco Warrant shall have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the Representative Warrant Agreement, except that it shall represent the right to acquire a Pubco Ordinary Share in lieu of a share of VMAC Class A Common Stock. At or prior to the Vistas Merger Effective Time, Pubco shall take all corporate action necessary to maintain sufficient numbers of Pubco Ordinary Shares outstanding for delivery upon the exercise of such Pubco Warrants and Representative Pubco Warrants.

The following diagram shows the pro forma ownership percentages (excluding the impact of the shares underlying the Pubco Warrants) and structure of Pubco immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination.

Consideration to be received in the Business Combination

The Stock Consideration payable to Anghami’s shareholders will be an amount of Pubco Ordinary Shares equal to (a) $180 million in enterprise value minus the cash consideration paid to such shareholders (if any), divided by (b) $10.00.

Anghami shareholders will receive cash consideration only if the available cash (as further described below) exceeds $50,000,000, in which case the cash consideration will be calculated as the lesser of (i)(A) such available cash minus the outstanding indebtedness of Pubco for borrowed money with a maturity date of more than one year as of the Closing multiplied by (B) 0.3, or (ii) the available cash minus such indebtedness referred to in clause (i)(A) above minus $50,000,000. The available cash at Closing will be calculated by (i) adding the amount available to be released from VMAC’s trust account, after taking into account redemptions by VMAC’s stockholders, in addition to any cash or cash equivalents of VMAC and the net proceeds of private placements of shares of VMAC’s common stock to occur immediately prior to the Closing, for which VMAC currently has commitments of $40 million, and (ii) subtracting transaction expenses of VMAC and Anghami related to the Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the cash consideration payable to Anghami shareholders will be reduced, and shareholders will receive a proportional increase in Stock Consideration at a price of $10.00 per share, by the minimum amount necessary for Pubco to satisfy the “substantiality” test of Treasury Regulation 1.367(a)-3(c)(3)(iii), but if such “substantiality” test cannot be met if the cash consideration is reduced to zero (with the proportional increase in Stock Consideration) then no such reduction in cash consideration will be made.

Effect of Vistas Merger on Vistas Merger Sub Share Capital and Anghami Merger on Anghami Merger Sub Share Capital

Once the Vistas Merger occurs, by virtue of the Vistas Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or the holders of securities of VMAC, Pubco, Vistas Merger Sub, Anghami Merger Sub or Anghami all of the share capital of Vistas Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Vistas Merger will convert into an equal number of ordinary shares of the Vistas Merger Surviving Company, with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding share capital of the Vistas Merger Surviving Company.

Once the Anghami Merger occurs, by virtue of the Anghami Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or the holders of securities of VMAC, Pubco, Vistas Merger Sub, Anghami Merger Sub or Anghami all of the share capital of Anghami Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Anghami Merger will convert into an equal number of ordinary shares of the Anghami Merger Surviving Company, with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding share capital of the Anghami Merger Surviving Company.

Table of Contents

Ownership of Anghami and VMAC Upon Completion of the Business Combination

Following the Business Combination, each of VMAC and Anghami become direct wholly-owned subsidiaries of Pubco.

Consideration Adjustment

At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Anghami will prepare and deliver to VMAC a statement setting forth (y) the per shareholder consideration and (z) (A) the names of all holders of its capital stock and convertible securities and their respective addresses, e-mail addresses (where available) and, where available, taxpayer identification numbers, (B) the number and type of Anghami shares, Anghami shares subject to any options, warrants or rights to purchase Anghami shares and/or Anghami shares subject to securities convertible into or exchangeable for, or that otherwise confer on the holder any right to acquire any equity interests of Anghami, held by such person and, in the case of outstanding shares, the respective certificate numbers, (C) the number of Anghami shares for which the convertible security will be converted into, (D) the calculation of the per shareholder consideration payable to each Anghami shareholder at the Closing, and (E) a funds flow memorandum setting forth applicable wire transfer instructions and other information reasonably requested by VMAC.

Promptly after Anghami delivers the above statement (the “Closing Statement”) to VMAC, it will meet with VMAC to review and discuss the statement and will incorporate all comments from VMAC made in good faith and make any appropriate adjustments to such statement prior to the Closing, which adjusted statement shall thereafter become the applicable Closing Statement for all purposes of the Business Combination Agreement.

On the Business Day prior to the Closing Date, VMAC will prepare and deliver to Anghami a statement setting forth: (i) the aggregate amount of cash proceeds that will be required to satisfy the redemptions of VMAC shares; (ii) an estimate of the number of Pubco Ordinary Shares to be outstanding as of the Closing after giving effect to the VMAC shares redemptions (and which will be based in part on Anghami’s above statement); (iii) the amount of Available Cash, including the amount of VMAC’s transaction expenses; (iv) a list of VMAC’s transaction expenses; and (v) the outstanding indebtedness of Pubco for borrowed money with a maturity date of more than one year as of the Closing.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the cash consideration payable to Anghami shareholders will be reduced, and shareholders will receive a proportional increase in Stock Consideration at a price of $10.00 per share, by the minimum amount necessary for Pubco to satisfy the “substantiality” test of Treasury Regulation 1.367(a)-3(c)(3)(iii), but if such “substantiality” test cannot be met if the cash consideration is reduced to zero (with the proportional increase in Stock Consideration) then no such reduction in cash consideration will be made.

Representation and Warranties

The Business Combination Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of (a) Anghami, (b) Pubco, Vistas Merger Sub and Anghami Merger Sub, and (c) VMAC relating to, among other things, their ability to enter into the Business Combination Agreement and their outstanding capitalization.

No other fees will be paid to either party in the event of the termination of the Business Combination. However, confidentiality agreements signed in connection with the Business Combination Agreement will survive its termination, and no such termination shall relieve any party from any liability arising out of or incurred as a result of its breach of the terms of the Business Combination Agreement prior to such termination.

Amendment; Assignment of the Business Combination Agreement

The Business Combination Agreement may be amended in writing by all parties thereto at any time prior to the Closing.

The Business Combination Agreement and all of the provisions thereof are binding and intended for the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, that, neither the Business Combination Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations thereunder may be assigned or delegated by any party (including by operation of law) without the prior written consent of the other parties, and any assignment without such consent will be entirely void; and provided, further that no such assignment shall relieve the assigning party of its obligations hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event Anghami, VMAC or Pubco or any of their respective successors or permitted assigns, (a) consolidates with or merges into any other person or (b) transfers all or substantially all of the assets of such party and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any person, then, and in each case, the successors and assigns of such party shall be deemed to have assumed the obligations of such party under the Business Combination Agreement.

Arbitration; Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction

Any and all disputes, controversies and claims (other than applications for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, permanent injunction or other equitable relief or application for enforcement of a resolution), arising out of, related to, or in connection with the Business Combination Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby are subject to the arbitration provisions of the Business Combination Agreement. A party must, in the first instance, provide written notice of any disputes to the other parties subject to such dispute, which must provide a reasonably detailed description of the matters subject to the dispute.

130

Table of Contents

subject to such dispute. The three-member arbitration panel that will convene to resolve disputes will convene in London and apply the substantive laws of the State of New York. Additionally, the laws of the State of New York shall govern (i) all claims or matters related to or arising from the Business Combination Agreement (including any tort or non-contractual claims) and (ii) any questions concerning the construction, interpretation, validity and enforceability of the Business Combination Agreement, and the performance of the obligations it imposes, in each case without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Law of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

Trust Account Waiver

Each of Anghami, Pubco, Vistas Merger Sub and Anghami Merger Sub acknowledges that, as described in the IPO Prospectus, VMAC has established the Trust Account for the benefit of its public stockholders (including overallotment shares acquired by VMAC’s underwriters), which holds proceeds of its IPO and the overallotment shares acquired by VMAC’s underwriters and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon), and that VMAC may pay out money from the Trust Account only in the circumstances described in the IPO Prospectus and VMAC’s governing documents. Each of Anghami, Pubco, Vistas Merger Sub and Anghami Merger Sub, for itself and the affiliates it has the authority to bind, hereby agrees it and such affiliates do not now and shall not at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any assets in the Trust Account (or distributions therefrom to public stockholders), or make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom to public stockholders), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, the Business Combination Agreement or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability, and hereby irrevocably waives any claims it or such affiliates has or may have at any time against or with respect to the Trust Account (or distributions therefrom to public stockholders) as a result of, or arising out of, any discussions, contracts or agreements involving VMAC and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (or distributions therefrom to public stockholders) for any reason whatsoever. Each of Anghami, Pubco, Vistas Merger Sub and Anghami Merger Sub agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to the Business Combination Agreement and specifically relied upon by VMAC and its affiliates to induce VMAC to enter in the Business Combination Agreement, and each of Anghami, Pubco, Vistas Merger Sub and Anghami Merger Sub further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against such party and each of its affiliates under applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing stated in this section above affects any rights of Anghami, Pubco, Vistas Merger Sub or Anghami Merger Sub or their respective affiliates in the capacity as a public stockholder to redeem their shares of VMAC in the VMAC shareholder redemption. This waiver of claims against the Trust Account shall survive termination of the Business combination Agreement for any reason and continue indefinitely.

Vote Required for Approval

The Business Combination Proposal will be approved and adopted only if the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of VMAC Common Stock entitled to vote thereon at the special meeting vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal. Adoption of the Business Combination Proposal is not conditioned upon the adoption of any of the other proposals.

Pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement, the Sponsor and Insiders agreed that they will:

a)      vote their common stock in favor of the Business Combination and each other proposal related to the Business Combination that is included in the agenda for the special meeting of the stockholders related to the Business Combination;

b)      when that meeting of stockholders is held, appear at the meeting or otherwise cause their shares to be counted present in order to establish a quorum;

c)      vote or cause to be voted at the meeting all of their shares covered by the Sponsor Letter Agreement against any other merger or acquisition proposal that would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay or otherwise negatively affect the execution of the Business Combination or cause a breach of the Business Combination Agreement and the conditions precedent to consummating the Business Combination and related transactions;

d)      vote or cause to be voted at the meeting all their covered shares against any change in business, management, or board of directors of VMAC other than those contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement; and

e)      not redeem their covered shares under the Sponsor Letter Agreement in connection with the stockholder approval achieved at the special meeting.

The Sponsor and each Insider also agreed to a one-year lockup period for their Founder Shares until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of the Business Combination and (B) subsequent to the Business Combination, (x) the date when the closing price of VMAC common stock has equaled or exceeded $12.00 per share for 20 trading days within a 30-day trading period commencing at least 150 days after the Business Combination or (y) the date on which Pubco completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all Pubco stockholders having the rights to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property. The Sponsor and each Insider also agreed to a 30-day lockup period following the Business Combination covering any private placement securities they receive.

The Sponsor Letter Agreement will automatically terminate on the expiration of all of the lock-up periods discussed in the above paragraph. In the event of a valid termination of the Business Combination Agreement, this Sponsor Letter Agreement shall be of no force and effect and shall revert to the Prior Letter Agreement. No such termination or reversion shall relieve the Sponsor, each Insider, VMAC or Pubco from any liability resulting from a breach of this Sponsor Letter Agreement occurring prior to such termination or reversion.

Subscription Agreements

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, VMAC and Pubco entered into the Subscription Agreements with SHUAA and Vistas Media Capital Pte. Ltd. (the “Subscribers”), pursuant to which the Subscribers agreed to purchase, and VMAC agreed to sell to the Subscribers, an aggregate of 4,000,000, shares of VMAC Class A common stock, for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $40,000,000, which shares of VMAC Class A common stock will automatically be exchanged with Pubco for the right to receive Pubco Class A common stock immediately following the Closing. Such shares have an aggregate market value of approximately $40,560,000 based on the closing price of VMAC Class A Common Stock of $10.14 on Nasdaq on November 4, 2021, the record date for the special meeting of stockholders.

The issuance of the PIPE Shares pursuant to the Subscription Agreements is contingent upon, among other customary closing conditions, the substantially concurrent consummation of the Business Combination. The purpose of the PIPE is to fund growth of the company following the Business Combination.

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, Pubco agreed to file (at Pubco’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the shares provided to the Subscribers by the Subscription Agreements, and Pubco shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) sixty (60) calendar days (or ninety (90) calendar days if the SEC notifies Pubco that it will “review” the registration statement) following the Closing Date and (ii) the 5th business day (any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is closed) after the date Pubco is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the registration statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. Pubco will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide a draft of the registration statement to the Subscribers for review at least two (2) business days in advance of filing the registration statement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Pubco be required to delay or postpone the filing of such registration statement as a result of or in connection with a Subscriber’s review. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Subscriber, Subscriber shall not be identified as a statutory underwriter in the registration statement unless requested by the Commission or another regulatory agency; provided, that if the SEC or another regulatory agency requests that a Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the registration statement, the Subscriber will have the opportunity to withdraw from the registration statement upon its prompt written request to Pubco. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents Pubco from including any or all of the shares proposed to be registered under the registration statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the subscribed shares by the applicable stockholders or otherwise, the registration statement will register the number of shares for resale which is equal to the maximum number of subscribed shares as the SEC permits. In such event, the number of subscribed shares to be registered for each selling stockholder named in the registration statement will be proportionally reduced among all such selling stockholders. The Subscribers agreed to disclose their beneficial ownership, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, of subscribed shares to Pubco (or its successor) upon request to assist Pubco in making the determination described above. Pubco’s obligations to include the subscribed shares in the registration statement are contingent upon the Subscriber furnishing in writing to Pubco such information regarding the Subscriber, the securities of Pubco held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the subscribed shares as Pubco reasonably requests to effect the registration of the applicable shares, and the Subscriber shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as Pubco may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that Pubco can postpone and suspend the use of the registration statement during any customary blackout or similar period or as permitted hereunder. However, for the avoidance of doubt, the Subscriber will not be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the subscribed shares. In the case of the registration effected by Pubco pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, Pubco will, upon reasonable request, inform the Subscriber as to the status of such registration. The Subscribers are not entitled to use the registration statement for an underwritten offering of the applicable subscribed shares.

In addition to the above, SHUAA will receive Service Warrants and 350,000 shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock upon the consummation of the Business Combination for services rendered in connection with the Business Combination.

Restrictive Covenant Agreements

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Pubco, VMAC, the Anghami entities, and shareholders Elias Habib and Edgard Maroun (the “Shareholders”) entered into Restrictive Covenant Agreements that ensure the Shareholders did not compete with Pubco and its related entities by joining a competitor in the music streaming business. Under the Restrictive Covenant Agreements, the Shareholders agreed that for a two-year period following the Closing they would not:

a)      work for, invest in, or otherwise advise a competing business in certain countries in the Middle East;

b)      solicit, hire, or otherwise recruit employees from VMAC and the other parties to the Business Combination Agreement to leave such party, except in circumstances where such an employee contacts the Shareholder or the Shareholder is not specifically targeting employees of VMAC and others entering the Business Combination;

c)      publish derogatory statements or otherwise damage the integrity, reputation, or good will of any party to the Business Combination Agreement, but the Shareholders’ ability to cooperate with a governmental or other legal proceeding in a truthful manner will not be impeded;

133

Table of Contents

          d)      disclose confidential information in any way without the prior written consent of Pubco, unless the Shareholder can prove that such information would be accessible through public means unrelated to the execution or negotiation of the Business Combination Agreement and operations of the parties’ business, and all agreements relating to the confidentiality of information the Shareholders may acquire in the performance of their duties for Pubco and related VMAC entities are in no way affected or limited by the Restrictive Covenant Agreements;

Pubco and the other parties interested in the restrictive nature of the Restrictive Covenant Agreements on the Shareholders are entitled to pursue specific performance or damages in the event a Shareholder violates any of their obligations under the agreements.

Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement

On August 6, 2020, VMAC, Vistas Media Sponsor, LLC, I-Bankers Securities, Inc, and the Initial Stockholders entered into a Registration Rights Agreement which provides customary demand and piggyback registration rights. The Registration Rights Agreement also restricted the Initial Stockholders to a lock-up agreement barring sale of their Founder Shares lasting through the period ending on the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of VMAC’s initial Business Combination and (B) subsequent to the Business Combination, (x) the date when the closing price of VMAC common stock has equaled or exceeded $12.00 per share for 20 trading days within a 30-day trading period commencing at least 150 days after the Business Combination or (y) the date on which VMAC completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all VMAC stockholders having the rights to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property.

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, VMAC agreed that, upon request of the Initial Stockholders, it will file with the SEC a registration statement registering the resale of certain VMAC shares held by the Initial Stockholders and VMAC will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof. However, during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to VMAC’s good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date one hundred and twenty (120) days after the effective date of, a VMAC-initiated registration and provided that VMAC has delivered written notice to the Initial Stockholders prior to receipt of a shareholder request as noted above, and it continues to actively employ, in good faith, all reasonable efforts to cause the applicable registration statement to become effective; (B) the shareholders have requested an underwritten registration and VMAC and the Initial Stockholders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite the offer; or (C) in the good faith judgment of the VMAC board such registration would be seriously detrimental to VMAC and the board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement at such time, then in each case the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board it would be seriously detrimental to the Company for such Registration Statement to be filed in the near future and that it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement.

Lock-Up Agreement

Certain shareholders also entered into formal Lock-Up Agreements with Pubco in connection with the Business Combination Agreements, and such Lock-Up Agreements may also be entered into and joined by other shareholders who acquire capital stock and continue as shareholders through the Business Combination. Shareholders entering into Lock-Up Agreements agree he or she shall not transfer any shares of common stock until the earlier of (A) six months after the Closing Date and (B) subsequent to the Closing Date, the date on which Pubco completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of Pubco’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property. Such shareholders may make transfers under two circumstances, however: (i) for estate planning if the shareholder is a natural person and transfers stock as a gift within their family or upon their death and (ii) to affiliates of Pubco or parties to the Business Combination Agreement, so long as the transferee also signs and agrees to the terms of the Lock-Up Agreement.

MATERIAL CAYMAN ISLANDS INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a discussion on certain Cayman Islands income tax consequences of an investment in the securities of Pubco. The discussion is a general summary of present law, which is subject to prospective and retroactive change. It is not intended as tax advice, does not consider any investor’s particular circumstances, and does not consider tax consequences other than those arising under Cayman Islands law.

Under Existing Cayman Islands Laws:

Payments of dividends and capital in respect of our securities will not be subject to taxation in the Cayman Islands and no withholding will be required on the payment of a dividend or capital to any holder of the securities nor will gains derived from the disposal of the securities be subject to Cayman Islands income or corporate tax. The Cayman Islands currently has no income, corporate or capital gains tax and no estate duty, inheritance tax or gift tax.

No stamp duty is payable in respect of the issue of the warrants. An instrument of transfer in respect of a warrant is stampable if executed in or brought into the Cayman Islands.

No stamp duty is payable in respect of the issue of our Class A ordinary shares or on an instrument of transfer in respect of such shares. However, an instrument of transfer in respect of shares is stampable if executed in or brought into the Cayman Islands.

Pubco has been incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability and, as such, has applied for and received an undertaking from the Financial Secretary of the Cayman Islands in the following form:

The Tax Concessions Act

(As Revised)

Undertaking as to Tax Concessions

In accordance with the provision of Section 6 of The Tax Concessions Act (As Revised), the Financial Secretary undertakes with Anghami Inc. (the “Company”):

1.      That no law which is hereafter enacted in the Islands imposing any tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations shall apply to the Company or its operations; and

2.      In addition, that no tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations or which is in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax shall be payable:

2.1    On or in respect of the shares, debentures or other obligations of the Company; or

2.2    by way of the withholding in whole or part, of any relevant payment as defined in Section 6(3) of the Tax Concessions Act (As Revised).

These concessions shall be for a period of 20 years from the date hereof.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

Subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations in the opinion attached as Exhibit 8.1 to the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part, the statements of law and legal conclusions set forth below represent the opinion of Winston & Strawn LLP.

This section describes the material U.S. federal income tax considerations for beneficial owners of VMAC Common Stock and VMAC Warrants (collectively, the “VMAC securities”) (i) electing to have their VMAC Common Stock redeemed for cash if the Business Combination is completed, (ii) of the Business Combination and (iii) of the ownership and disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares and Pubco Warrants acquired pursuant to the Merger. This discussion applies only to VMAC securities and Pubco Ordinary Shares held as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes (generally, property held for investment) and does not discuss all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that might be relevant to holders in light of their particular circumstances or status, including alternative minimum tax and Medicare contribution tax consequences, or holders who are subject to special rules, including:

•        brokers, dealers and other investors that do not own their VMAC securities, Pubco Ordinary Shares or Pubco Warrants as capital assets;

•        traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings;

•        tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts or other tax deferred accounts;

•        banks or other financial institutions, underwriters, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts or regulated investment companies;

•        U.S. expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States;

•        persons that own (directly, indirectly, or by attribution) 5% or more (by vote or value) of the VMAC Common Stock or Pubco Ordinary Shares;

•        partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or beneficial owners of partnerships or other pass-through entities;

•        persons holding VMAC securities, Pubco Ordinary Shares or Pubco Warrants as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction, constructive sale, or other arrangement involving more than one position;

•        persons required to accelerate the recognition of any item of gross income with respect to VMAC securities, Pubco Ordinary Shares or Pubco Warrants as a result of such income being recognized on an applicable financial statement;

•        persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

•        persons that received VMAC securities, Pubco Ordinary Shares or Pubco Warrants as compensation for services; or

•        controlled foreign corporations or passive foreign investment companies.

This discussion is based on the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code (the “Treasury Regulations”), published rulings by the IRS and court decisions, all as of the date hereof. These laws are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. This discussion is necessarily general and does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation, including the effect of the U.S. federal alternative minimum tax, or U.S. federal estate and gift tax, or any state, local or non-U.S. tax laws to a holder of VMAC securities, Pubco Ordinary Shares or Pubco Warrants. We have not and do not intend to seek any rulings from the IRS regarding the Business Combination. There is no assurance that the IRS will not take positions concerning the tax consequences of the Business Combination that are different from those discussed below, or that any such different positions would not be sustained by a court.

ALL HOLDERS OF VMAC SECURITIES SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION AND CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF PUBCO ORDINARY SHARES AND PUBCO WARRANTS, INCLUDING THE EFFECTS OF U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX LAWS.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment of Pubco

A corporation is generally considered for U.S. federal income tax purposes to be a tax resident in the jurisdiction of its organization or incorporation. Accordingly, under the generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rules, Pubco, which is incorporated under the Cayman Islands, would be classified as a non-U.S. corporation (and, therefore, not a U.S. tax resident) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Section 7874 of the Code provides an exception to this general rule (more fully discussed below), under which a non-U.S. incorporated entity may, in certain circumstances, be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. These rules are complex and there is limited guidance regarding their application.

Under Section 7874, a corporation created or organized outside the United States (i.e., a non-U.S. corporation) will nevertheless be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and, therefore, as a U.S. tax resident subject to U.S. federal income tax on its worldwide income) if each of the following three conditions are met: (i) the non-U.S. corporation, directly or indirectly, acquires substantially all of the properties held directly or indirectly by a U.S. corporation (including through the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of the U.S. corporation); (ii) the non-U.S. corporation’s “expanded affiliated group” does not have “substantial business activities” in the non-U.S. corporation’s country of organization or incorporation and tax residence relative to the expanded affiliated group’s worldwide activities (this test is referred to as the “substantial business activities test”); and (iii) after the acquisition, the former shareholders of the acquired U.S. corporation hold at least 80% (by either vote or value) of the shares of the non-U.S. acquiring corporation by reason of holding shares in the U.S. acquired corporation (taking into account the receipt of the non-U.S. corporation’s shares in exchange for the U.S. corporation’s shares) as determined for purposes of Section 7874 (this test is referred to as the “80% ownership test”).

For purposes of Section 7874, the first two conditions described above will be met with respect to the Business Combination because Pubco will acquire indirectly all of the assets of VMAC through the Merger, and Pubco, including its “expanded affiliated group,” is not expected to satisfy the substantial business activities test upon consummation of the Merger. As a result, whether Section 7874 will apply to cause Pubco to be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes following the Merger should depend on the satisfaction of the 80% ownership test.

Based upon the terms of the Merger, the rules for determining share ownership under Section 7874 and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and certain factual assumptions, VMAC and Pubco currently expect that the Section 7874 ownership percentage of the VMAC stockholders in Pubco should be less than 80%. Accordingly, Pubco is not expected to be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 7874. However, whether the 80% ownership test has been satisfied must be finally determined after completion of the Merger, by which time there could be adverse changes to the relevant facts and circumstances. Further, for purposes of determining the ownership percentage of former VMAC stockholders for purposes of Section 7874, former VMAC stockholders will be deemed to own an amount of Pubco Ordinary Shares in respect to certain redemptions by VMAC prior to the Merger. In addition, as discussed above, the rules for determining ownership under Section 7874 are complex, unclear and the subject of ongoing regulatory change. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS would not assert a contrary position to those described above or that such an assertion would not be sustained by a court.

If Pubco were to be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it could be subject to substantial liability for additional U.S. income taxes, and the gross amount of any dividend payments to its non-U.S. holders (as defined below) could be subject to 30% U.S. withholding tax, depending on the application of any income tax treaty that might apply to reduce the withholding tax.

The remainder of this discussion assumes that Pubco will not be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 7874.

U.S. Holders

The section applies to you if you are a U.S. holder. For purposes of this discussion, a U.S. holder means a beneficial owner of VMAC securities, Pubco Ordinary Shares or Pubco Warrants that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

•        an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

•        a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

•        an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

•        a trust if (1) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S. persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust; or (2) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

The Business Combination

Subject to the discussion below of VMAC Warrants and Section 367(a) of the Code, the exchange by a U.S. holder of VMAC Common Stock for Pubco Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Merger is expected to qualify as an exchange described in Section 351(a) of the Code. Assuming such qualification, a U.S. holder that exchanges its VMAC Common Stock in the Merger for Pubco Ordinary Shares generally should not recognize any gain or loss on such exchange, subject to Section 367(a) of the Code discussed below. In such case, assuming gain recognition is not required under Section 367(a) of the Code as described below, the aggregate adjusted tax basis of the Pubco Ordinary Shares received in the Merger by a U.S. holder should be equal to the adjusted tax basis of the VMAC Common Stock surrendered in the Merger in exchange therefor. The holding period of the Pubco Ordinary Shares should include the holding period during which the VMAC Common Stock surrendered in the Merger in exchange therefor.

The appropriate U.S. federal income tax treatment of VMAC Warrants in connection with the Merger is uncertain. It is possible that a U.S. holder of VMAC Warrants could be treated as exchanging such VMAC Warrants for “new” warrants. If so treated, a U.S. holder could be required to recognize gain or loss in such deemed exchange in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the Pubco Warrants held by it immediately following the Merger and the adjusted tax basis of the VMAC Warrants held by it immediately prior to the Merger. Alternatively, it is also possible that a U.S. holder of VMAC Warrants could be treated as transferring its VMAC Warrants and shares of VMAC Common Stock to Pubco in exchange for Pubco Warrants and Pubco Ordinary Shares in an exchange governed only by Section 351 of the Code (and not by Section 368 of the Code). If so treated, a U.S. holder should be required to recognize gain (but not loss) in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of gain realized by such holder (generally, the excess of (x) the sum of the fair market values of the Pubco Warrants treated as received by such holder and the Pubco Ordinary Shares received by such holder over (y) such holder’s aggregate adjusted tax basis in the VMAC Warrants and VMAC Common Stock treated as having been exchanged therefor) and (ii) the fair market value of the Pubco Warrants treated as having been received by such holder in such exchange. If the deemed transfer of VMAC Warrants also qualifies as part of a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code, subject to Section 367(a) of the Code discussed below, a U.S. holder of VMAC Warrants generally should not recognize any gain or loss on any such deemed transfer of VMAC Warrants, and such U.S. holder’s basis in the Pubco Warrants deemed received should be equal to the U.S. holder’s basis in its VMAC Warrants deemed transferred. However, the requirements for qualification of the Merger as a “reorganization” under Section 368 of the Code are more stringent in certain respects than the requirements for qualification as an exchange under Section 351 of the Code, and there can be no assurance that the Merger will also qualify under Section 368.

U.S. holders of VMAC Warrants are urged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the treatment of their VMAC Warrants in connection with the Merger.

Section 367(a)

Section 367(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, in certain circumstances described below, impose additional requirements for a U.S. holder to qualify for tax-deferred treatment under Section 351 of the Code and Section 368 of the Code with respect to the exchange of VMAC Common Stock and/or VMAC Warrants in the Vistas Merger.

138

Table of Contents

Section 367(a) of the Code potentially may apply to the exchange by a U.S. holder of VMAC Common Stock for Pubco Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Vistas Merger. Section 367(a) of the Code generally requires a U.S. holder of stock in a U.S. corporation to recognize gain (but not loss) when such stock is exchanged for stock of a non-U.S. corporation in an exchange that would otherwise qualify for tax-deferred treatment (such as pursuant to an exchange under Section 351 of the Code or a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code) and any of the following is true: (i) the U.S. corporation fails to comply with certain reporting requirements; (ii) U.S. holders of stock of the acquired U.S. corporation receive more than 50% (by vote or value) of the stock of the non-U.S. corporation; (iii) U.S. persons that are officers, directors, or 5% or greater shareholders of the acquired U.S. corporation own more than 50% (by vote or value) of the stock of the non-U.S. corporation immediately after the acquisition; (iv) such U.S. holder is a 5% or greater shareholder of the acquired U.S. corporation and fails to enter into a 5-year gain recognition agreement with the IRS to recognize gain with respect to the acquired U.S. corporation stock exchanged in the acquisition; or (v) the U.S. and non-U.S. corporations (and other relevant parties) fail to meet the “active trade or business test.” A holder of an acquired U.S. corporation is presumed to be a U.S. person unless that person signs an ownership statement certifying certain information, including its residency. The “active trade or business test” generally requires (A) that the non-U.S. corporation (and its qualified subsidiaries, including for this purpose Anghami and its subsidiaries) be engaged in an “active trade or business” outside of the U.S. for the 36-month period immediately before the exchange and that neither the transferors nor the non-U.S. corporation has an intention to substantially dispose of or discontinue such trade or business, and (B) that the fair market value of the non-U.S. corporation be at least equal to the fair market value of the U.S. corporation, as specifically determined for purposes of Section 367 of the Code, as of the closing of the exchange (the “substantiality test”). For purposes of applying the substantiality test to the Vistas Merger, the fair market value of VMAC generally will be deemed to include the value of any non-ordinary course distributions, as determined under applicable Treasury Regulations, made by VMAC during the 36-month period ending on the closing of the Vistas Merger. Because of the inherently factual nature of these tests under the applicable Treasury Regulations, and the fact that these tests are generally applied based on the relevant facts at the time of, and following, the completion of the Vistas Merger, Winston & Strawn LLP is unable to opine on the application of Section 367(a) of the Code to the exchange by a U.S. holder of VMAC Common Stock and/or VMAC Warrants in the Vistas Merger.

To the extent that U.S. holders of VMAC Common Stock and/or VMAC Warrants are required to recognize gain under Section 367(a) of the Code for any of the foregoing reasons, a U.S. holder generally would recognize gain, if any, (but not loss) in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the sum of the fair market value of the Pubco Ordinary Shares received and/or VMAC Warrants deemed received by such U.S. holder, over (ii) such U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the VMAC Common Stock exchanged and/or VMAC Warrants deemed exchanged therefor. Any such gain would generally be capital gain, and would be long-term capital gain if the U.S. holder’s holding period for the VMAC Common Stock and/or VMAC Warrants was more than one year at the time of the Vistas Merger. In either case described in the previous sentence, the U.S. holder’s tax basis in the Pubco Ordinary Shares and/or Public Warrants received in the exchange would be equal to the fair market value of such Pubco Ordinary Shares and/or Public Warrants at the time of the Vistas Merger.

The rules dealing with Section 367(a) of the Code discussed above are very complex and are affected by various factors in addition to those described above. Accordingly, you are strongly urged to consult your own tax advisor concerning the application of the these rules to your exchange of VMAC Common Stock and/or VMAC Warrants under your particular circumstances, including, if you believe you will be a 5% or greater shareholder and the possibility of entering into a “gain recognition agreement” under applicable Treasury Regulations.

Redemption of VMAC Common Stock

In the event that a U.S. holder of VMAC Common Stock exercises such holder’s right to have such holder’s VMAC Common Stock redeemed pursuant to the redemption provisions described herein, the treatment of the transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of such stock pursuant to Section 302 of the Code or whether the U.S. holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution. Whether that redemption qualifies for sale treatment will depend largely on the total number of shares of VMAC common stock treated as held by the U.S. holder (including any stock constructively owned by the U.S. holder as a result of, among other things, owning warrants) relative to all of shares of VMAC Common Stock both before and after the redemption. The redemption of stock generally will be treated as a sale of the stock (rather than as a

139

Table of Contents

corporate distribution) if the redemption is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the U.S. holder, results in a “complete termination” of the U.S. holder’s interest in VMAC or is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the U.S. holder. These tests are explained more fully below.

In determining whether any of the foregoing tests are satisfied, a U.S. holder takes into account not only stock actually owned by the U.S. holder, but also shares of VMAC Common Stock that are constructively owned by such U.S. holder. A U.S. holder may constructively own, in addition to stock owned directly, stock owned by certain related individuals and entities in which the U.S. holder has an interest or that have an interest in such U.S. holder, as well as any stock the U.S. holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which generally would include common stock that could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of the VMAC Warrants. In order to meet the substantially disproportionate test, the percentage of VMAC’s outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. holder immediately following the redemption of VMAC Common Stock must, among other requirements, be less than 80% of the percentage of VMAC’s outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. holder immediately before the redemption. There will be a complete termination of a U.S. holder’s interest if either all the shares of VMAC Common Stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. holder are redeemed or all the shares of VMAC Common Stock actually owned by the U.S. holder are redeemed and the U.S. holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of stock owned by certain family members and the U.S. holder does not constructively own any other stock. The redemption of the VMAC Common Stock will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if a U.S. holder’s redemption results in a “meaningful reduction” of the U.S. holder’s proportionate interest in VMAC. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a U.S. holder’s proportionate interest in VMAC will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority stockholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.” A U.S. holder should consult with its own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of redemption.

If the redemption qualifies as a sale of stock by the U.S. holder under Section 302 of the Code, the U.S. holder generally will be required to recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of cash received and the tax basis of the shares of VMAC Common Stock redeemed. Such gain or loss should be treated as capital gain or loss if such shares were held as a capital asset on the date of the redemption. A U.S. holder’s tax basis in such holder’s shares of VMAC Common Stock generally will equal the cost of such shares. A U.S. holder that purchased VMAC Units would have been required to allocate the cost between the shares of VMAC Common Stock and the VMAC Warrants comprising the units based on their relative fair market values at the time of the purchase.

If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of stock under Section 302 of the Code, then the U.S. holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution. Such distribution generally will constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in such U.S. holder’s VMAC Common Stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the VMAC Common Stock. Special rules apply to dividends received by U.S. holders that are taxable corporations. After the application of the foregoing rules, any remaining tax basis of the U.S. holder in the redeemed VMAC Common Stock will be added to the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its remaining stock, or, to the basis of stock constructively owned by such holder if the stock actually owned by the holder is completely redeemed.

Distributions on Pubco Ordinary Shares

Subject to the discussion under the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Holders — Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules,” the gross amount of any distribution on Pubco Ordinary Shares that is made out of Pubco’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) generally will be taxable to a U.S. holder as ordinary dividend income on the date such distribution is actually or constructively received. Any such dividends generally will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S. corporations. To the extent that the amount of the distribution exceeds Pubco’s current and accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), such excess amount will be treated first as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S. holder’s tax basis in its Pubco Ordinary Shares, and thereafter as capital gain recognized on a sale or exchange.

Subject to the discussion under the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Holders — Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules,” dividends received by non-corporate U.S. holders (including individuals) from a “qualified foreign corporation” may be eligible for reduced rates of taxation, provided that certain holding period requirements and other conditions are satisfied. For these purposes, a non-U.S. corporation will be treated as a qualified foreign corporation if it is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive income tax treaty with the United States that meets certain requirements. There is currently no income tax treaty between the United States and the Cayman Islands. Therefore, there can be no assurances that Pubco will be eligible for benefits of an applicable comprehensive income tax treaty with the United States. A non-U.S. corporation is also treated as a qualified foreign corporation with respect to dividends it pays on shares that are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. U.S. Treasury guidance indicates that shares listed on Nasdaq (which Pubco Ordinary Shares are expected to be) will be considered readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. There can be no assurance that Pubco Ordinary Shares will be considered readily tradable on an established securities market in future years. Non-corporate U.S. holders that do not meet a minimum holding period requirement during which they are not protected from the risk of loss or that elect to treat the dividend income as “investment income” pursuant to Section 163(d)(4) of the Code (dealing with the deduction for investment interest expense) will not be eligible for the reduced rates of taxation regardless of Pubco’s status as a qualified foreign corporation. In addition, the rate reduction will not apply to dividends if the recipient of a dividend is obligated to make related payments with respect to the positions in substantially similar or related property. This disallowance applies even if the minimum holding period has been met. Pubco will not constitute a qualified foreign corporation for purposes of these rules if it is a passive foreign investment company for the taxable year in which it pays a dividend or for the preceding taxable year. See the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Holders — Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules.

Subject to certain conditions and limitations, withholding taxes, if any, on dividends paid by Pubco may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against a U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability under the U.S. foreign tax credit rules. For purposes of calculating the U.S. foreign tax credit, dividends paid on Pubco Ordinary Shares will generally be treated as income from sources outside the United States and will generally constitute passive category income. The rules governing the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of the U.S. foreign tax credit under particular circumstances.

Sale, Exchange, Redemption or Other Taxable Disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares and Pubco Warrants

Subject to the discussion under the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Holders — Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules,” a U.S. holder generally will recognize gain or loss on any sale, exchange, redemption or other taxable disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares or Pubco Warrants in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount realized on the disposition and (ii) such U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in such shares and/or warrants. Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder on a taxable disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares or Pubco Warrants generally will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holder’s holding period in such shares and/or warrants exceeds one year at the time of the disposition. Preferential tax rates may apply to long-term capital gains of non-corporate U.S. holders (including individuals). The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder on the sale or exchange of Pubco Ordinary Shares or Pubco Warrants generally will be treated as U.S. source gain or loss.

Exercise or Lapse of a Pubco Warrant

Except as discussed below with respect to the cashless exercise of a Pubco Warrant, a U.S. holder generally will not recognize gain or loss upon the acquisition of a Pubco Ordinary Share on the exercise of a Pubco Warrant for cash. A U.S. holder’s tax basis in a Pubco Ordinary Shares received upon exercise of the Pubco Warrant generally should be an amount equal to the sum of the U.S. holder’s tax basis in the Pubco Warrant exchanged therefor and the exercise price. The U.S. holder’s holding period for a Pubco Ordinary Share received upon exercise of the Pubco Warrant will begin on the date following the date of exercise (or possibly the date of exercise) of the Pubco Warrant and will not include the period during which the U.S. holder held the Pubco Warrant. If a Pubco Warrant is allowed to lapse unexercised, a U.S. holder generally will recognize a capital loss equal to such holder’s tax basis in the Pubco Warrant.

141

Table of Contents

The tax consequences of a cashless exercise of a Pubco Warrant are not clear under current tax law. A cashless exercise may be tax-deferred, either because the exercise is not a gain realization event or because the exercise is treated as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In either tax-deferred situation, a U.S. holder’s basis in the Pubco Ordinary Shares received would equal the holder’s basis in the Pubco Warrants exercised therefore. If the cashless exercise were treated as not being a gain realization event, a U.S. holder’s holding period in the Pubco Ordinary Shares would be treated as commencing on the date following the date of exercise (or possibly the date of exercise) of the Pubco Warrants. If the cashless exercise were treated as a recapitalization, the holding period of the Pubco Ordinary Shares would include the holding period of the Pubco Warrants exercised therefore.

It is also possible that a cashless exercise of a Pubco Warrant could be treated in part as a taxable exchange in which gain or loss would be recognized. In such event, a U.S. holder would recognize gain or loss with respect to the portion of the exercised Pubco Warrants treated as surrendered to pay the exercise price of the Pubco Warrants (the “surrendered warrants”). The U.S. holder would recognize capital gain or loss with respect to the surrendered warrants in an amount generally equal to the difference between (i) the fair market value of the Pubco Ordinary Shares that would have been received with respect to the surrendered warrants in a regular exercise of the Pubco Warrants and (ii) the sum of the U.S. holder’s tax basis in the surrendered warrants and the aggregate cash exercise price of such warrants (if they had been exercised in a regular exercise). In this case, a U.S. holder’s tax basis in the Pubco Ordinary Shares received would equal the U.S. holder’s tax basis in the Pubco Warrants exercised plus (or minus) the gain (or loss) recognized with respect to the surrendered warrants. A U.S. holder’s holding period for the Pubco Ordinary Shares would commence on the date following the date of exercise (or possibly the date of exercise) of the Pubco Warrants.

Due to the absence of authority on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a cashless exercise of warrants, there can be no assurance which, if any, of the alternative tax consequences and holding periods described above would be adopted by the IRS or a court of law. Accordingly, U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of a cashless exercise of Pubco Warrants.

Possible Constructive Distributions

The terms of each Pubco Warrant provide for an adjustment to the number of Pubco Ordinary Shares for which the Pubco Warrant may be exercised or to the exercise price of the Pubco Warrant in certain events, as discussed in the section entitled “Description of Pubco Securities.” An adjustment which has the effect of preventing dilution generally is not taxable. A U.S. holder of a Pubco Warrant would, however, be treated as receiving a constructive distribution from Pubco if, for example, the adjustment increases the holder’s proportionate interest in Pubco’s assets or earnings and profits (e.g., through an increase in the number of Pubco Ordinary Shares that would be obtained upon exercise of such warrant) as a result of a distribution of cash to the holders of the Pubco Ordinary Shares which is taxable to the U.S. holders of such shares as described under the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Holders — Distributions on Pubco Ordinary Shares.” Such constructive distribution would be subject to tax as described under that section in the same manner as if the U.S. holder of such warrant received a cash distribution from Pubco equal to the fair market value of such increased interest. The rules regarding constructive distributions are complex. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the rules to them in light of their own circumstances.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

Generally.    The treatment of U.S. holders of the Pubco Ordinary Shares could be materially different from that described above if Pubco is treated as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A PFIC is any foreign corporation with respect to which either: (i) 75% or more of the gross income for a taxable year constitutes passive income for purposes of the PFIC rules, or (ii) 50% or more of such foreign corporation’s assets in any taxable year (generally based on the quarterly average of the value of its assets during such year) is attributable to assets, including cash, that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, certain royalties and rents, annuities, net gains from the sale or exchange of property producing such income and net foreign currency gains. The determination of whether a foreign corporation is a PFIC is based upon the composition of such foreign corporation’s income and assets (including, among others, its proportionate share of the income and assets of any other corporation in which

142

Table of Contents

it owns, directly or indirectly, 25% (by value) of the stock), and the nature of such foreign corporation’s activities. A separate determination must be made after the close of each taxable year as to whether a foreign corporation was a PFIC for that year. Once a foreign corporation qualifies as a PFIC it is, with respect to a shareholder during the time it qualifies as a PFIC, and subject to certain exceptions, always treated as a PFIC with respect to such shareholder, regardless of whether it satisfied either of the qualification tests in subsequent years.

Based on the projected composition of Pubco’s income and assets, including goodwill, and the fact that Pubco is not yet producing revenue from its active operations, Pubco may be classified as a PFIC for its taxable year that includes the date of the Merger or in the foreseeable future. The tests for determining PFIC status are applied annually after the close of the taxable year, and it is difficult to predict accurately future income and assets relevant to this determination. The fair market value of the assets of Pubco is expected to depend, in part, upon (a) the market value of the Pubco Ordinary Shares, and (b) the composition of the assets and income of Pubco. Further, because Pubco may value its goodwill based on the market value of the Pubco Ordinary Shares, a decrease in the market value of the Pubco Ordinary Shares and/or an increase in cash or other passive assets (including as a result of the Merger) would increase the relative percentage of its passive assets. Moreover, Pubco may be classified as a PFIC for its taxable year that includes the date of the closing of the Merger as a result of interest income that Pubco earns on its deposits, which generally will be treated as passive income. The application of the PFIC rules is subject to uncertainty in several respects and, therefore, no assurances can be provided that the IRS will not assert that Pubco is a PFIC for the taxable year that includes the date of the Merger or in a future year.

If Pubco is or becomes a PFIC during any year in which a U.S. holder holds Pubco Ordinary Shares, there are three separate taxation regimes that could apply to such U.S. holder under the PFIC rules, which are the (i) excess distribution regime (which is the default regime), (ii) QEF regime, and (iii) mark-to-market regime. A U.S. holder who holds (actually or constructively) stock in a foreign corporation during any year in which such corporation qualifies as a PFIC is subject to U.S. federal income taxation under one of these three regimes. The effect of the PFIC rules on a U.S. holder will depend upon which of these regimes applies to such U.S. holder. However, dividends paid by a PFIC are generally not eligible for the lower rates of taxation applicable to qualified dividend income (“QDI”) under any of the foregoing regimes.

Excess Distribution Regime.    If a U.S. holder does not make a QEF election or a mark-to-market election, as described below, the U.S. holder will be subject to the default “excess distribution regime” under the PFIC rules with respect to (i) any gain realized on a sale or other disposition (including a pledge) of Pubco Ordinary Shares, and (ii) any “excess distribution” received on Pubco Ordinary Shares (generally, any distributions in excess of 125% of the average of the annual distributions on Pubco Ordinary Shares during the preceding three years or the U.S. holder’s holding period, whichever is shorter). Generally, under this excess distribution regime:

•        the gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the period during which the U.S. holder held Pubco Ordinary Shares;

•        the amount allocated to the current taxable year, will be treated as ordinary income; and

•        the amount allocated to prior taxable years will be subject to the highest tax rate in effect for that taxable year and the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the resulting tax attributable to each such year.

The tax liability for amounts allocated to years prior to the year of disposition or excess distribution will be payable generally without regard to offsets from deductions, losses and expenses. In addition, gains (but not losses) realized on the sale of Pubco Ordinary Shares cannot be treated as capital gains, even if you hold the shares as capital assets. Further, no portion of any distribution will be treated as QDI.

QEF Regime.    A QEF election is effective for the taxable year for which the election is made and all subsequent taxable years and may not be revoked without the consent of the IRS. If a U.S. holder makes a timely QEF election with respect to its direct or indirect interest in a PFIC, the U.S. holder will be required to include in income each year a portion of the ordinary earnings and net capital gains of the PFIC as QEF income inclusions, even if amount is not distributed to the U.S. holder. Thus, the U.S. holder may be required to report taxable income as a result of QEF income inclusions without corresponding receipts of cash. Pubco shareholders that are U.S. holders subject to

143

Table of Contents

U.S. federal income tax should not expect that they will receive cash distributions from Pubco sufficient to cover their respective U.S. tax liability with respect to such QEF income inclusions. In addition, U.S. holders of Pubco Warrants will not be able to make a QEF election with respect to their Pubco Warrants.

The timely QEF election also allows the electing U.S. holder to: (i) generally treat any gain recognized on the disposition of its shares of the PFIC as capital gain; (ii) treat its share of the PFIC’s net capital gain, if any, as long-term capital gain instead of ordinary income; and (iii) either avoid interest charges resulting from PFIC status altogether, or make an annual election, subject to certain limitations, to defer payment of current taxes on its share of PFIC’s annual realized net capital gain and ordinary earnings subject, however, to an interest charge on the deferred tax computed by using the statutory rate of interest applicable to an extension of time for payment of tax. In addition, net losses (if any) of a PFIC will not pass through to our shareholders and may not be carried back or forward in computing such PFIC’s ordinary earnings and net capital gain in other taxable years. Consequently, a U.S. holder may over time be taxed on amounts that as an economic matter exceed our net profits.

A U.S. holder’s tax basis in Pubco Ordinary Shares will be increased to reflect QEF income inclusions and will be decreased to reflect distributions of amounts previously included in income as QEF income inclusions. No portion of the QEF income inclusions attributable to ordinary income will be treated as QDI. Amounts included as QEF income inclusions with respect to direct and indirect investments generally will not be taxed again when distributed. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors as to the manner in which QEF income inclusions affect their allocable share of Pubco’s income and their basis in your Pubco Ordinary Shares.

In order to comply with the requirements of a QEF election, a U.S. holder must receive certain information from Pubco. If Pubco determines that it is a PFIC for any taxable year, Pubco will endeavor to provide all of the information that a U.S. holder making a QEF election is required to obtain to make and maintain a QEF election, but there is no assurance that Pubco will timely provide such information. There is also no assurance that Pubco will have timely knowledge of its status as a PFIC in the future or of the required information to be provided. In addition, if Pubco holds an interest in a lower-tier PFIC (including, without limitation, in any PFIC subsidiaries), U.S. holders will generally be subject to the PFIC rules described above with respect to any such lower-tier PFICs. There can be no assurance that a portfolio company or subsidiary in which Pubco holds an interest will not qualify as a PFIC, or that a PFIC in which Pubco holds an interest will provide the information necessary for a QEF election to be made by a U.S. holder (in particular if Pubco does not control that PFIC).

Mark-to-Market Regime.    Alternatively, a U.S. holder may make an election to mark marketable shares in a PFIC to market on an annual basis. PFIC shares generally are marketable if: (i) they are “regularly traded” on a national securities exchange that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission or on the national market system established under Section 11A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or (ii) they are “regularly traded” on any exchange or market that the Treasury Department determines to have rules sufficient to ensure that the market price accurately represents the fair market value of the stock. It is expected that Pubco Ordinary Shares, which are expected to be listed on Nasdaq, will qualify as marketable shares for the PFIC rules purposes, but there can be no assurance that Pubco Ordinary Shares will be “regularly traded” for purposes of these rules. Pursuant to such an election, a U.S. holder would include in each year as ordinary income the excess, if any, of the fair market value of such stock over its adjusted basis at the end of the taxable year. A U.S. holder may treat as ordinary loss any excess of the adjusted basis of the stock over its fair market value at the end of the year, but only to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the election in prior years. A U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the PFIC shares will be increased to reflect any amounts included in income, and decreased to reflect any amounts deducted, as a result of a mark-to-market election. Any gain recognized on a disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares will be treated as ordinary income and any loss will be treated as ordinary loss (but only to the extent of the net amount of income previously included as a result of a mark-to-market election). A mark-to-market election only applies for the taxable year in which the election was made, and for each subsequent taxable year, unless the PFIC shares ceased to be marketable or the IRS consents to the revocation of the election. U.S. holders should also be aware that the Code and the Treasury Regulations do not allow a mark-to-market election with respect to stock of lower-tier PFICs that is non-marketable. There is also no provision in the Code, Treasury Regulations or other published authority that specifically provides that a mark-to-market election with respect to the stock of a publicly-traded holding company (such as Pubco) effectively exempts stock of any lower-tier PFICs from the negative tax consequences arising from the general PFIC rules. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors

144

Table of Contents

to determine whether the mark-to-market tax election is available to them and the consequences resulting from such election. In addition, U.S. holders of Pubco Warrants will not be able to make a mark-to-market election with respect to their Pubco Warrants.

PFIC Reporting Requirements.    A U.S. holder of Pubco Ordinary Shares will be required to file an annual report on IRS Form 8621 containing such information with respect to its interest in a PFIC as the IRS may require. Failure to file IRS Form 8621 for each applicable taxable year may result in substantial penalties and result in the U.S. holder’s taxable years being open to audit by the IRS until such Forms are properly filed.

Additional Reporting Requirements

Certain U.S. holders holding specified foreign financial assets with an aggregate value in excess of the applicable dollar thresholds are required to report information to the IRS relating to Pubco Ordinary Shares, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for Pubco Ordinary Shares held in accounts maintained by U.S. financial institutions), by attaching a complete IRS Form 8938 to their tax return, for each year in which they hold Pubco Ordinary Shares. Substantial penalties apply to any failure to file IRS Form 8938, unless the failure is shown to be due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect. Also, in the event a U.S. holder does not file IRS Form 8938 or fails to report a specified foreign financial asset that is required to be reported, the statute of limitations on the assessment and collection of U.S. federal income taxes of such U.S. holder for the related taxable year may not close before the date which is three years after the date on which the required information is filed. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of these rules on the ownership and disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares.

Non-U.S. Holders

The section applies to non-U.S. holders. For purposes of this discussion, a non-U.S. holder means a beneficial owner (other than a partnership or an entity or arrangement so characterized for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of VMAC securities, Pubco Ordinary Shares or Pubco Warrants that is not a U.S. holder.

Assuming that Pubco is not treated as a U.S. corporation under the rules discussed above, a non-U.S. holder of Pubco Ordinary Shares will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax or, subject to the discussion below under “— Information Reporting and Backup Withholding,” U.S. federal withholding tax on any dividends received on Pubco Ordinary Shares or any gain recognized on a sale or other disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares (including, any distribution to the extent it exceeds the adjusted basis in the non-U.S. holder’s Pubco Ordinary Shares) unless the dividend or gain is effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States, and if required by an applicable tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the non-U.S. holder in the United States. In addition, special rules may apply to a non-U.S. holder that is an individual present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year of the sale or disposition, and certain other requirements are met. Such holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the sale or disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares.

Dividends and gains that are effectively connected with a non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment in the United States) generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the same regular U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to a comparable U.S. holder and, in the case of a non-U.S. holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, also may be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate.

The U.S. federal income tax treatment of a non-U.S. holder’s exercise of a Pubco Warrant, or the lapse of a Pubco Warrant held by a non-U.S. holder, generally will correspond to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the exercise or lapse of a warrant by a U.S. holder, as described under “— U.S. Holders — Exercise or Lapse of a Pubco Warrant,” above, although to the extent a cashless exercise results in a taxable exchange, the consequences would be similar to those described in the preceding paragraphs above for a non-U.S. holder’s gain on the sale or other disposition of the Pubco Ordinary Shares and Pubco Warrants.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Information reporting requirements may apply to cash received in redemption of VMAC Common Stock, dividends received by U.S. holders of Pubco Ordinary Shares, and the proceeds received on the disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares effected within the United States (and, in certain cases, outside the United States), in each case other than U.S. holders that are exempt recipients (such as corporations). Backup withholding (currently at a rate of 24%) may apply to such amounts if the U.S. holder fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number (generally on an IRS Form W-9 provided to the paying agent of the U.S. holder’s broker) or is otherwise subject to backup withholding. Any redemptions treated as dividend payments with respect to VMAC Common Stock and Pubco Ordinary Shares and proceeds from the sale, exchange, redemption or other disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares may be subject to information reporting to the IRS and possible U.S. backup withholding. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the U.S. information reporting and backup withholding rules.

Information returns may be filed with the IRS in connection with, and non-U.S. holders may be subject to backup withholding on amounts received in respect of their VMAC Common Stock, VMAC Warrants or their Pubco Ordinary Shares, unless the non-U.S. holder furnishes to the applicable withholding agent the required certification as to its non-U.S. status, such as by providing a valid IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8ECI, as applicable, or the non-U.S. holder otherwise establishes an exemption. Dividends paid with respect to Pubco Ordinary Shares and proceeds from the sale of other disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares received in the United States by a non-U.S. holder through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding unless such non-U.S. holder provides proof an applicable exemption or complies with certain certification procedures described above, and otherwise complies with the applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against the holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, and a holder may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by timely filing the appropriate claim for a refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information.

VMAC STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL NO. 2 — THE NASDAQ PROPOSAL

Overview

VMAC is seeking stockholder approval of the Nasdaq Proposal in order to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635(a), (b) and (d).

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a), stockholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities in connection with the acquisition of another company if such securities are not issued in a public offering and (A) have, or will have upon issuance, voting power equal to or in excess of 20% of the voting power outstanding before the issuance of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock); or (B) the number of shares of common stock to be issued is or will be equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares outstanding before the issuance of the stock or securities.

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b), stockholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities when the issuance or potential issuance will result in a change of control of the registrant.

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), stockholder approval is required for a transaction other than a public offering involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by an issuer of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) at a price that is less than the lower of (i) the closing price immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement or (ii) the average closing price of the common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement, if the number of shares of common stock to be issued is or may be equal to 20% or more of the common stock, or 20% or more of the voting power, outstanding before the issuance.

VMAC currently has 12,830,000 shares of VMAC Common Stock issued and outstanding.

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, VMAC has obtained commitments from Subscribers to purchase shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock, which will be converted into Pubco Ordinary Shares, for a purchase price of $10.00 per share. Several institutional investors have committed an aggregate of $40 million to participate in the PIPE. The 4,000,000 shares of VMAC Common Stock VMAC anticipates issuing pursuant to the Subscription Agreements will (1) constitute more than 20% of VMAC’s then outstanding common stock, (2) will constitute a change of control and (3) be sold for a purchase price of $10.00 per share of VMAC Class A Common Stock, which will be less than the market value of the shares. VMAC is required to obtain shareholder approval of such issuances pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635(a), (b) and (d).

Effect of Proposal on Current Stockholders

If the Nasdaq Proposal is adopted and the Business Combination is consummated VMAC expects the Subscribers will receive 4,000,000 shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Subscription Agreements. The issuance of such shares would result in significant dilution to VMAC’s stockholders, and would afford VMAC’s Stockholders a smaller percentage interest in the voting power, liquidation value and aggregate book value of Pubco after the Closing.

Vote Required for Approval

The Nasdaq Proposal will be approved and adopted if the holders of a majority of the shares of VMAC Common Stock represented in person or by proxy and voted thereon at the special meeting vote “FOR” the Nasdaq Proposal. Adoption of the Nasdaq Proposal is conditioned upon the adoption of the Business Combination Proposal.

Recommendation of the Board

VMAC’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE NASDAQ PROPOSAL.

The Stockholder Adjournment Proposal

The Stockholder Adjournment Proposal, if adopted, will allow VMAC’s board of directors to adjourn the special meeting of stockholders to a later date or dates to permit further solicitation of proxies. The Stockholder Adjournment Proposal will only be presented to VMAC’s stockholders in the event that, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting of stockholders to approve one or more of the proposals presented at the special meeting or Public Stockholders have elected to redeem an amount of Public Shares such that the minimum available cash condition to the obligation to closing of the Business Combination would not be satisfied. In no event will VMAC’s board of directors adjourn the special meeting of stockholders or consummate the Business Combination beyond the date by which it may properly do so under the VMAC Charter and Delaware law.

INFORMATION ABOUT ANGHAMI

In this section, references to “we,” “us” and “our” are intended to refer to Anghami and its subsidiaries, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

Overview

Founded in 2012, Anghami was the first music-streaming platform in the Middle East and North Africa (the “MENA Region”). Anghami’s business focuses on the following countries within the MENA Region: Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Tunisia and UAE (together, our “MENA Operating Area”). We are now the leading regional digital music entertainment technology platform in our MENA Operating Area, with the largest catalog, offering approximately 57 million songs to more than 70 million registered users as of December 31, 2020, 1.4 million paid subscribers and 18.3 million active users, with more than 9.0 billion streams per year in 2020. Anghami is a music application and platform that offers listeners in the MENA Operating Area Arabic and international music to stream and download.

The service is offered through a choice of two primary plans: Free (Ad-supported) and Anghami Plus (Premium service). Within the Premium service, we offer four main subscription plans: our individual Anghami Plus plan, the Family Anghami Plus Plan (1 plan for 6 individual accounts at a discounted price), the Student Plan (discounted and restricted to students), the limited Anghami Plus plan (a more restricted Plus plan currently available through selected partners or in certain territories). These plans differ in both pricing and duration ranging from daily to yearly offers. The pricing plans differ by country and currencies.

We have licensing agreements with thousands of independent labels and distributors to provide users with access to a vast catalog of music. We have long standing business relationships with major global labels including Universal Music Group, Sony Music and Warner Music Group. Anghami has a physical presence in UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Lebanon, in the MENA Region to establish and maintain strong partnerships with labels, artists, brands, and telecommunication companies. In addition, Anghami has established strategic relationships with 35 telecommunication companies across the MENA Operating Area, which Anghami believes will help us to boost free user acquisitions and facilitate subscriptions in our effort to maintain a leading paying conversion rate amongst music streaming services in the MENA Operating Area.

Our artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms process over 56 million data points collected from our users every day. We utilize over nine years of historical user data to understand user trends, predict user behavior, and invest in growth areas that we believe are likely to generate the highest return on investment. Anghami expects its use of data collection and historical user data to help improve monetization and continue to be a key driver of revenues.

The Company is headquartered in Abu Dhabi, at the ADGM, and has offices in Beirut, Dubai, Cairo and Riyadh. The ADIO, being the Abu Dhabi government’s investment attraction and development hub, has committed to providing approximately up to AED 60 million (which as of September 13, 2021 would have been approximately $16.5 million) in financial incentives to support the establishment, growth and development of our technology and research and development center in Abu Dhabi, subject to us meeting certain performance metrics and conditions.

ADC was established in 2017 with three shareholders. However, following incorporation, the shareholders were not permitted to be holders of such securities by the Egyptian regulatory authorities. Accordingly, we transferred the ownership of ADC to three employees of ADC, and each of these employees have entered into nominee agreements with Anghami pursuant to which:

•        each employee acknowledges that Anghami has the full power to direct all of ADC’s activities and make all relevant operational and financial decisions, and they undertake to implement Anghami’s management’s and/or board of directors’ decisions, as applicable;

•        each employee undertakes not to take or cause any action, make any operational and/or financial decision or enter into any transaction or agreement, directly or indirectly, whether by or on behalf of ADC, without the explicit approval of Anghami’s management and/or board of directors, as applicable, which approval shall be at the sole discretion of Anghami;

•        each employee undertakes not to take any action or make any decision which contravenes with the decisions of Anghami;

•        each employee acknowledges that the shares held by them are entirely and exclusively owned by Anghami and that the rights inherent to the said shares belong to Anghami;

•        each employee undertakes, in his capacity as shareholder and director, to remit the shares to Anghami and transfer their ownership to Anghami upon first demand, free of charge;

•        each employee undertakes to remit without consideration to Anghami all profits and amounts received from ADC in relation to the said shares; and

•        each employee undertakes not transfer or assign any of the shares without the written consent of Anghami or give any of the shares as collateral.

Industry Overview

Global Music Recording Industry

The global music recording industry has been making a strong comeback after a period of decline in the early 2000s and is steadily achieving positive growth due in large part to the advent of music streaming. According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (“IFPI”), recorded music revenue returned to growth in 2015 after the global industry’s lowest revenue in 2014 of $14 billion. After nearly two decades of piracy-driven declines, in 2015 global recorded music revenues grew more than 3.57% from the prior year, and global recorded music revenue growth accelerated in 2016 reaching $15.8 billion, an increase of 8.97% from 2015. Since that time the industry has rebounded to $21.6 billion in revenue in 2020. The industry, bolstered by music streaming, has now experienced six years of positive growth.

Streaming Behind Music Industry Return to Growth

The return to growth of the global recording industry was primarily driven by streaming, as its growth replaced the decline in physical music sales. According to the IFPI, streaming constituted 62.1% of global recorded music revenues in 2019, reaching $12.5 billion, while physical sales and digital download revenues stood at 19.5% and 5.8% of global recorded music revenues respectively. Global streaming revenues grew at a 42% CAGR (compound annual growth rate) from 2015 to 2020, with 2020 being a standout year with 18.5% industry revenue growth.

Streaming is growing globally, including in emerging markets. The ease of access to the internet, exponentially increasing internet penetration, and high smartphone adoption were drivers for this growth and turned streaming into the dominant global format in the music industry. The COVID-19 pandemic has only increased the impact and importance of music streaming, as digital delivery platforms allowed continued use during the pandemic despite government shutdowns and social distancing behaviors.

We believe that the music streaming market still has potential for significant growth and is still in its early stage. Adoption and penetration rates have plenty of room to increase both in established and growing markets. In 2020, the IFPI recorded 443 million users of paid subscription accounts in the industry generally, which is far fewer than the 3.8 billion global smartphone users. Further, aggregate streaming revenues in the United States, which is the largest market for the recorded music industry, grew 13.4% in 2020 to $10.1 billion, and constituted 83% of the total US music industry revenues in that year.

Music Streaming Industry in the Middle East and North Africa Region

Decreasing popularity of physical CDs and album purchases is a global phenomenon and applicable to all music markets around the globe, including the MENA Region, which in recent years has shown significant growth in online music streaming adoption rates.

The MENA Region is particularly well suited to growth in the online music streaming space. According to Middle East and Africa Music Streaming Market Forecast to 2027 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis By Content Type (Audio Streaming and Video Streaming), Streaming Type (Live Streaming and On-demand Streaming), and End User (Commercial and Individual) Report issued by Insight Partners in September 2020, the music streaming market in the MENA Region is expected to grow fast at a CAGR of 9.5% from $1.5 billion in 2019 to $3.2 billion by 2027.

The total global Arab and Pakistani diaspora is substantial and is considered one of the world’s fastest-growing populations. This diaspora also constitutes a favorable demographic for the music streaming space, with a large portion of this group aged between 10-35 years old.

The MENA Region also has one of the highest smartphone penetration rates in the world (especially the Gulf Cooperation Council (“GCC”) region). According to Mobile Consumption in a Post-Growth World, a Deloitte Global Mobile Consumer Survey, Middle East Edition 2019, 97% of the population overall in UAE and Saudi Arabia own a smartphone. This region also has a high internet penetration. Another study conducted by market research company Ipsos indicates a substantial embrace of music streaming in the region with 50% of music streamers listening to music online on a daily basis and around 30% using these services for at least 3-5 hours a day.

Despite international brands such as Apple, Spotify, and Deezer entering the MENA Region, Anghami has positioned itself as the leading streaming platform in the MENA Operating Area with first mover advantages due

152

Table of Contents

to being a local company and benefiting from its prior experience and history in the market. Our digital streaming offering benefits from and is differentiated by cultural fit, localized content and language, products adapted to local tastes and consumer behavior, an AI engine that caters to local tastes, and strong relationships with regional brands and telecommunications providers and a large user database. Today, Anghami is the largest digital music streaming player in the MENA Operating Area.

We have business relationships with 35 telecommunications providers, which we refer to as “Telcos”, across the MENA Operating Area, giving us a competitive edge, as we expect to have priority position with Telcos’ customers, access to more marketing and technical flexibility to control and optimize the subscriber’s lifecycle (the process of a customer moving from Telco to a Premium service with Anghami. We leverage the Telcos’ strong marketing capabilities to drive acquisition of new Anghami Premium subscribers using above the line marketing (during offer launches or seasonal campaigns) and ongoing below the line campaigns to promote Anghami’s service, fueled by the exclusive content that we acquire and new features that we launch.

We also collaborate with leading media groups in the MENA Operating Area, mainly MBC Group, a Saudi-owned media conglomerate. This collaboration has enhanced our visibility in the region, primarily through association of our brand with widely viewed TV shows such as The Voice and Arab Idol.

Our Strengths

Localized Content

Anghami is the sound of the MENA Region. Arabic musical content is hyper-local. It is comprised of many subgenres, and is a relatively small percentage of the global music catalogue.

•        Multiplicity of Subgenres.    The MENA Region has a large diversity of local musical content and music taste is often divided by sub regions within the MENA Region. For example, GCC countries have a local taste for Khaleeji content. While the Levant region’s listeners focus on two distinct content categories: (1) Iraqi content and (2) the female artists popular in the broader Eastern Mediterranean. North African content falls into three major content categories: (1) Egyptian, (2) Rai (North Africa) and (3) Sudanese. Each of these interest groups comprises its own musical genre and has a large fan base across the MENA Region and among the international Arab diaspora.

•        Local Content with Room for Growth.    The entire Arabic music catalog on Anghami includes about 600,000 songs. The Arabic catalogue accounts for 45-50% of total streams on Anghami which proves a huge potential for content creation and further growth. New, and in certain cases exclusive, Arabic content is expected to attract new users to the Anghami Premium service. In the 2021 global business review report by IFPI, recorded music revenues in the Africa and Middle East region increased by 8.4% in 2020. In recent years the traditional Arabic content has been supplemented by younger generations who favor international remixes, Arabic hip hop and indie music with a large presence of female artists.

Anghami Content Strategy

We believe that the availability of unique content will drive new users and further increase in streaming adoption in the MENA Region. Accordingly, we are working to create our own original content, which we believe will help us acquire users and distinguish us from our competition.

Since its inception, Anghami collected data from more than 70 million downloads. This data collection provides Anghami with irreplaceable information regarding trends and tastes, including which artists are trending and how music genres and interests are split by demographics and country. This data provided us with test cases for and helped us in creating Anghami originals, which is a program whereby Anghami partners with local artists to create new songs and release them on Anghami’s platform. From 2017 to 2020, Anghami created more than 30 original songs, with an average ROI of 60%.

We intend to continue to create content for Anghami Originals both via our relationships with local and international artists and through potential acquisitions of Arabic content from existing labels.

Two-Sided Marketplace

Anghami as a platform connects artists and fans bringing value in the form of a two-sided marketplace, meaning that it has the ability to provide value both to users and to artists. Users have the ability to enjoy and discover new music while remaining connected with their favorite artists. While for artists, the platform allows them both to reach and interact with fans and have access to analytics that drive a better understanding of the artist’s audiences and their needs. This two-sided market approach is discussed more fully below:

Benefits for Users

We allow users to discover and play their favorite music based on algorithms for recommendations as well as human curation:

•        Free Ad-Supported and Paid Experience.    Users have access to a free, ad-supported tier of Anghami which also provides access to a very rich high-quality content. This free offering allows users to discover the service. Our aim is that once engaged such users will opt to subscribe for a premium paid experience through different plans. These include individual monthly subscriptions, but also provide specialized offerings such as family plans, student plans and other discount plans. We also offer flexibility to pay weekly and daily especially in low ARPU markets and users can pay by various means such as billing through mobile carrier, vouchers, cash payment solutions or credit and debit card. This flexibility of plan choice, flexibility in method of payment, and flexibility in timing of payment, are all designed so that we can suit each user’s individual needs. Finally, our relationship with 36 Telcos also makes it convenient for users to become paying customers who subscribe to our platform.

•        Playlists and Personalization.    With access to more than 57 million tracks, we provide users with curated and machine-learning generated playlists that are built to suit their tastes starting from the moment they open Anghami. The more they listen and engage, the more we understand their music DNA and behavior, and the more we can provide them with content that matches their tastes, moods and preferences. We believe this tailored and personalized approach delivers higher engagement.

•        Multi-Platform Product Availability.    We reach users wherever they are, be it on mobile, tablet, web, desktop, car, Smart TV, Smart Watch, Gaming console, etc., accessible with a single user ID. We continue to strive to provide a seamless experience that is available across all platforms.

Benefits for Artists & Creators

The Anghami platform allows artists to connect with and reach a wide audience through a variety of features, such as Live Radio, that are unique to our platform. Moreover, we provide artists with tools to access data and analytics and, most importantly, an upload tool which allows artists to publish their content directly to the platform and access reports, sales and performance data without the need for a distributor or a third party.

•        Monetization.    Since 2012, Anghami built the digital music economy in the MENA Operating Area and has been the largest music streaming platform in the MENA Operating Area in terms of payouts to artists, which neared $40 million between inception and December 31, 2020.

•        Exposure.    We offer artists access to millions of fans through various features in-app making their work visible to their relevant audience via editorial, promoting the artist’s work on the platform or on social media accounts of Anghami or the artist, and curation. We also promote artist’s work through our digital media, TV partnerships such as MBC and other media outlets.

•        Artist Promotions via Amplify.    We enable artists, creators and their managers to promote their own work on the platform via paid promotions under a program named Amplify. This program allows artists, creators, and managers to gain visibility, reach the new potential fans and grow the audiences that they feel are relevant to their popularity.

•        Data & Analytics.    We provide numerous analytics for artists through our Anghami Artists app and dashboard interface. These offerings include demographics of that artists listening audience, geographical locations of their listeners, information about similar artists, playlist data and revenues accrued from their work.

Table of Contents

•        Branded Collaboration via AnghamiStudios.    Through AnghamiStudios, our production team works to provide branded content opportunities that will bring artists and brands together to create content that features brand placements. This process brings exposure, revenues and valuable brand associations to artists and brands.

Strong Local Partnerships

Anghami was the pioneer of Telco partnerships in the MENA Operating Area. Since the early days of the company, given the region’s low credit card penetration and the team’s extensive experience in the telecom industry, we prioritized Telco partnerships because they are a primary payment collection mechanism that users of the region trust and are familiar with.

Anghami’s relationship with Telcos has evolved over the years to become more of a strategic alliance benefiting both Anghami and the Telcos. This beneficial relationship functions as follows:

•        Telcos use Anghami as a tool to enhance their brand image by associating their Telco brand with an entertainment service that their customers love. This enables them to attract youth audiences, gain market share in high value segments, and drive higher data consumption. Our service helps Telcos increase their customer’s retention and satisfaction as well as boosting their ARPU and their customers’ uptake of new packages.

•        Our small but effective team has a substantial experience in the industry, both technically and commercially, and is dedicated to onboarding Telcos. The team works closely with Telcos across the region to create mutually beneficial value propositions by proposing the appropriate and tailored offerings based on their strong understanding of each market. We understand the challenges and best practices of each country and each Telco specifically on the commercial, pricing, technical, marketing and legal levels. This helps us build products and services that perform better than other music streaming platforms and in a more efficient manner and that are customized to the Telco needs:

•        We offer Anghami Premium service as a standalone service. It is accessible through daily, weekly and monthly packages depending on the territory and is enabled using direct carrier billing or other more traditional charging methods.

•        Anghami Premium service is soft or hard bundled (which means that the Anghami subscription can either be automatically included in the mobile subscription or the Telco customer has the option to purchase the subscription through his Telco) with the Telco packages, which allows the customers to have access to the service part of the package free of charge for a certain period or as long as they are subscribed.

•        We have relationships with 39 Telcos across the MENA Operating Area, which provides us an advantage of priority within the Telco process, marketing, and technical support, reducing our need to engage third parties.

•        Backed by our engineering team and given our experience in integrating with a vast array of Telco systems and infrastructures, we can integrate and launch services with distinct Telcos very quickly and with minimal difficulties and issues. Telco teams trust us to launch the products they need and customize them based on their requirements on tight deadlines.

•        Direct integration with Telcos allows us to have better control of the subscriber’s lifecycle. We have implemented several mechanisms that allow us to increase subscriber retention and maximize ARPU by enabling grace periods, retrial, and auto payment mechanisms that are customized by market and product.

•        We leverage on the Telco’s strong marketing capabilities to drive acquisition of new Anghami Premium service subscribers using: (a) above the line communication during offer launches or seasonal campaigns; and (b) ongoing below the line communication to promote the service, fueled by the exclusive content that we acquire as well as new features that are deployed.

155

Table of Contents

•        We utilize our access to artists and major entertainment events in the region to provide our Telco partners with exclusive and attractive promotional events that lead to mobile service activations throughout the year. They use these to promote Anghami’s service and allows the Telcos to associate with events and artists that create engagement with their customers. Events such as artists meet and greet, VIP concert tickets giveaways, access to private sessions with artists, and access to major regional events such as the Formula 1 in Abu Dhabi.

Our Growth Strategies

Anghami is already the market leader in music streaming in the MENA Operating Area, but it still has ample room to grow. Our growth strategy is focused around three areas: (1) capitalizing on increasing digital music market growth in the MENA Region; (2) leveraging our current market position and knowledge to increase revenue generation and market penetration; and (3) acquiring new target users and new target geographies.

Capitalizing on Growth

We intend to capitalize on increasing digital music market growth in the MENA Region in three main areas: (1) growth in streaming in our core markets; (2) a strong and increasing demand for Arabic music; and (3) the ability of Arabic music to “go global” with popularity expanding beyond the Arab world and its diaspora.

•        Large Streaming Growth Potential in Core Markets.    Music streaming penetration in Anghami’s key markets is currently very low in comparison to other more economically developed markets. For example, only approximately 6% of the Addressable Market (defined as the part of a country’s population that is 10 to 50 years old and with access to an internet connection) in Saudi Arabia has been reached, which is Anghami’s largest market. Anghami’s target markets in North Africa (i.e., Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco) also have low market penetration relative to other countries. Whereas the music streaming penetration in the U.S. is approximately 35% of the addressable market. While the penetration in the MENA Region is currently low, it is growing. For example, penetration in Saudi Arabia increased from 6% in 2019 to 7% in 2020, measured as the total MAU over the total addressable market. Anghami expects to benefit from this growing penetration as consumer behavior shifts from traditional methods (such as radio, digital downloads, CDs) to using music streaming.

•        Strong Demand for Arabic Music.    Anghami believes that there is room for growth and strong demand for a greater breadth of Arabic music. The entire Arabic music catalog on Anghami includes about 600,000 songs in comparison to the international music catalog that includes about 57 million songs. Given that Arabic music represents around 45-50% of Anghami’s music streams, we believe there is a compelling growth potential for Arabic content. Anghami expects to benefit from the strong latent demand for more Arabic music content created both by Anghami (through our Anghami Originals) and by other international music labels.

•        Arabic Music Going Global.    We believe that the Arabic music genre is on the cusp of going global similar to what occurred with: (1) Latin music in the early 2000s (e.g., Shakira’s hit album Laundry Service in 2001) and (2) Korean music (often called K-Pop) in the past 8 years (e.g., smash hit Gangnam Style released in 2012 and more recently BTS (Bangtan Boys) in 2019). The global appeal of Arabic music has also been highlighted with the global success of the movie Fast & Furious 7, the theme song of which and background music were all Arabic-inspired. In response to the global appeal of Arabic music, the two leading global music labels (Universal Music and Warner Music) have all announced in 2021 landmark initiatives to support the creation more Arabic music content:

•        Universal Music announced on April 6, 2021 the creation of a dedicated division for Arabic music called Universal Music MENA; and

•        Warner Music announced in February 2021 its investment in a leading Arabic music label.

Anghami, as the leading music streaming platform with the largest streaming distribution network in the MENA Operating Area, will benefit from this new Arabic music content in two ways. The new Arabic content will: (1) attract more users in Anghami’s focus markets and also across the global diaspora of Arabs (the “Arab Diaspora”) (refer to the section below entitled “— New Target Users and New Target Geographies”), and (2) create a new revenue stream for Anghami as Anghami strategically licenses this content globally.

Leveraging Current Market Position and Knowledge.

We aim to leverage our current market position and knowledge to increase revenue generation and market penetration through: (1) maintaining and utilizing our leading local brand name, (2) our knowledge of user behavior, and (3) the growth in digital advertising in the MENA Region.

•        Maintain Leading Brand Name.    As the first music streaming platform in the MENA Operating Area and the market leader, we believe Anghami is synonymous in our target markets locally with music streaming. Anghami has market-leading brand appeal among both the MENA Operating Area’s music artists and music streaming users. This market-leading position provides Anghami an ability to leverage its market position and brand recognition to spur interest in both its new products and features and new Arabic music content.

•        Knowledge of Local User Behavior.    Anghami has a unique proprietary data set covering music streaming user’s behavior in the MENA Operating Area. Anghami has been collecting user behavior data since inception and currently collects approximately 56 million user data points per day. Anghami has a strong data-driven music recommendation engine that gives Anghami unique insights on the type and positioning of new Arabic music in the MENA Region. Anghami already creates its own content (Anghami Originals) and believes it has proven the business case for data-driven new Arabic content creation and distribution (average ROI of 60%).

•        Growth in Digital Advertising.    As one of the leading data-driven digital advertising platforms in the MENA Operating Area, Anghami will benefit from the accelerating shift of advertising spend from traditional advertising to digital advertising. According to an IPSOS, the total online media advertising expenditures in the MENA Region grew by 2%, from $1.27 billion in 2019 to $1.29 billion in 2020. We believe the growth of digital advertising in the MENA Region is accelerating and Anghami is uniquely positioned to benefit from this growth. According to eMarketer, by the end of 2025, podcasts will represent more than one-third of all digital audio services ad dollars.

New Target Users and New Target Geographies

Anghami intends to target the Arab diaspora with content and products. There is a large Arab diaspora living outside the MENA Region, mostly in the Americas, Europe and Africa. This Arab diaspora is fairly affluent and educated and has maintained a strong ethnic identity and lasting links back home in the Arab world. While, in the past, Anghami has not targeted this Arab diaspora, recently, Anghami has developed new music streaming products and content specifically designed for the Arab diaspora.

Anghami intends to expand into large and relevant markets that are adjacent geographically or culturally to its current geographic scope. For example, Pakistan with a population of about 220 million people is a natural expansion market for Anghami. Commercial music streaming does not functionally exist in Pakistan and the music catalog is fragmented and value priced. In addition, Pakistan shares certain affinities that make it a prime market for the MENA Region, including (1) a shared religion, (2) a shared alphabet, (3) geographic proximity and (4) a large diaspora of Pakistani nationals that reside and work in the MENA Region and have done so for generations. Anghami has developed the “playbook” to tackle new markets such as Pakistan, a market very similar to Egypt, one of Anghami’s existing key markets.

Our Head of International Partnership is Los Angeles-based music industry entrepreneur and manager, Wassim “Sal” Slaiby, the CEO of XO Records, a top music label that The Weekend co-founded, and of SALXCO, his artist management firm. Sal has been instrumental in building an international user base for us and expanding our business globally. Sal will oversee our presence and launch in the U.S.

Anghami also intends to use features such as Live Radio, that offers unique experiences like participation in real-time alongside content; podcasts, which have gained significant traction with users, creators, brands, and advertisers; micro payments (which relate to social billing on the live radio or live concerts, where users can tip the broadcaster or artist, and Anghami will receive a share of that amount) and e-gifting options to attract new users to its platform.

We have two primary revenue streams: (i) Premium subscriptions; and (ii) advertising. Revenues are primarily driven from Premium subscriptions (through app stores, our Telco partners, and direct debit and card purchases), which generated 81% of total revenues during fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. Whereas, data driven advertising contributed 19% of total revenues during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

Over the years, we have experienced increased engagement from users, which we believe is due to the compatibility of our platform across various devices, including smartphones, desktops, cars and game consoles. Our Premium users (that is, users of Anghami Plus, our premium service) average about 73 minutes per day in 2020. Our Premium users have streamed 1.6 times the amount of content per month than non-Premium users. The latter are steadily converting into the Premium service at an average rate of 21.0% in 2020 with a healthy ratio of DAU to MAU. Our average DAU/MAU ratio was 22.3% in 2020. For a discussion of how we track active users, see the section entitled “Anghami Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Key Performance Indicators (unaudited) — Active Users.

Premium Service

Our Premium service provides paying subscribers with unlimited online and offline high-quality streaming and download access to our catalog, commercial-free.

Revenues through the Premium service are generated via three main payment channels: (i) through the app stores (Google Play and Apple Store), (ii) through our Telco partners, or (iii) through direct debit and card purchases. An offline channel is also available through which consumers can purchase vouchers from partner stores that provide limited access to our Premium service. So far, we have partnered with 39 Telcos distributed among 16 countries. Most of our Telco partnerships include valuable offerings to the end users such as data bundles, where customers can subscribe to our platform and receive certain amount of data to use on it. In addition, Telcos often advertise Anghami’s services and plans with a significant marketing budget. We are also expanding to new online payment channels that are gaining popularity in the region such as STC Pay in Saudi Arabia and Fawry Pay in Egypt as well as integrating with mobile wallets of various banks and mobile operators that are becoming more popular as payment channels.

Premium service is the largest revenue stream and our marketing efforts focus on growing our Premium user base while investing in the product to enhance our free to premium conversion rates. Our efforts translated into consistent new subscriber growth, with the aggregate monthly subscribers (Telco and direct) increasing from 595,980 in January 2019 to 797,984 in December in 2020. We have also invested heavily in increasing the retention of our subscriber base by offering tailored plans and through an advanced algorithmic content recommendation engine. Over time, the churn of the monthly paying subscribers has continued to trend lower from 7.7% in January 2019 to 5.9% in December 2020.

In order to drive the sales of our Anghami Premium service we rely on:

•        Converting the Anghami Free user base:    Using owned and paid media channels we have built a conversion engine that relies on segmentation to target free users along their journey with the different available subscription plans directly or through partners by offering them discounts, no commitment plans and free trials. We also run big seasonal campaigns (for example: Eid offer, White Friday offer, Saudi National offer) that have longer trial periods (usually three months for new subscribers) that drive subscriptions and revenues significantly across the year; and

•        Acquiring Anghami Premium service subscribers (through Business to Business (“B2B”) partners):    We leverage both Telco partners and distribution partners to run major seasonal above the line (ATL) campaigns and monthly below the line (BTL) campaigns that drives the acquisition of new Anghami Premium service subscribers who purchase the subscription either from the partner or get it for free (subsidized by the partner) as a part of a bundle or product sold by the partner.

In order to increase subscriber’s retention and lifetime value (LTV) we have implemented several mechanisms to address churn whether involuntary, for instance, because of payment related issues such as expired credit card, or voluntary, that is the Premium user choosing to unsubscribe. In 2020, we increased re-subscription rate of churned users by 53% by reviewing all audiences and user journey at different stages: grace period to churn and post-churn, and adding customized messages based on the churn reason and subscription channels in different placements (in-app, email, push notifications, SMS). On the Telco level we also implemented smart charging mechanisms and extended grace periods that reduce involuntary churn and maximize the ARPU.

Anghami has also signed separate servicing agreements with 6 of the Telco operators, our B2B partners, through which Anghami sells its Premium subscription at a discount directly to the Telco operators. These Telco operators then go on to offer Anghami Premium service to their user base as part of a broader package. These agreements are based on a discounted subscription fee and tied with a minimum revenue guarantee scheme.

Anghami’s subsidiaries, Anghami FZ, LLC and Anghami KSA Co., have also entered into certain promotion agreements with Souq.com FZ-LLC and Afaq Q-Tech General Trading Co, respectively, in connection with their participation in the Amazon Prime program, which allows them to offer certain promotions, including a discounted subscription to the “Anghami Plus” program, to certain Amazon Prime members, subject to certain terms and conditions. Following the expiration of the twelve-month promotional period, the Amazon Prime members will be charged at standard service rates as applicable to other Premium subscribers.

Advertising Revenue

Our Ad-Supported Service has no subscription fees and provides Ad-Supported users with limited on-demand online access to our catalog on their computers and shuffle-only access on compatible mobile devices and tablets. This segment contributes to our revenues and also works as a marketing tool, increasing our user engagement who often convert to our Premium service. We generate revenue for our Ad-Supported segment from the sale of display, audio, video and content sponsorship solutions delivered through advertising impressions. We source our advertising customers through advertising agency, Digital Media Service (“DMS”), who receive a 40.5% revenue share of the gross advertising value. To date, more than 280 global brands have advertised on our platform. In 2020, we have launched an additional “direct ads” service, whereby Anghami directly works with brands while DMS invoices and collects the receivables with a 10% revenue share. These advertising arrangements typically specify the type of advertising product, pricing, insertion dates, and number of impressions in a stated period.

Revenue for our Ad-Supported segment is affected primarily by the number of our Ad-Supported users, the total Content Hours per MAU of our Ad-Supported users, and our ability to provide innovative advertising products that are relevant to our Ad-Supported users and enhance returns for our advertising partners. Our advertising strategy centers on the belief that advertising products that are based in music and are relevant to the Ad-Supported user can enhance Ad-Supported users’ experiences and provide even greater returns for advertisers.

We offer different advertising campaigns on our platform, primarily in the form of:

•        branded content — producing a song tailored to a specific brand;

•        content promotion — banner ads, promotion on certain playlists, audio ads, etc.; and

•        sponsored playlists.

According to a study performed internally our ad formats significantly increase awareness and intent to action. The results are displayed in the table below:

As for our branded content solutions (sponsored playlists or branded song content) we offer brands the chance to unlock metrics focused around brand love:

Variable Cost Structure

Licensing Agreements

Anghami has a rich catalog of over 57 million songs. Anghami has signed content agreements with up to 2,000 music labels. Obtaining license agreements and paying royalties are the two prevailing costs of sales. In exchange for the right to stream certain music, royalty costs are due to music record labels and publishers. Royalties are calculated monthly based on the percentage of revenue and the music labels’ respective market share. In addition, Premium service user royalties depend on the number of subscribers while royalties for free users depend on the number of streams. Licensing agreements include several terms related to paying royalties, minimum guaranteed payments, marketing commitments, reporting and audit rights. Generally, the contracts are valid for 1 year, and renegotiated on annual basis, the label holds the right to terminate the agreements if any breach of terms takes place. The content cost, which represents the royalties paid to the labels, calculated based on the number of streams/revenue generated for each category separately (Premium revenue and Ad-Supported revenue), constitutes a major part of our variable costs and amounts to 36% of our revenue.

We have long standing relationships with both global and local music companies despite a fragmented market. Among these are the top three global music labels: Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, and Warner Music Group; alongside the largest regional labels: Qanawat, Watary, Platinum record and Nay. Arabic label agreements provide for global coverage while most of the international music agreements are restricted to the MENA Operating Area.

Payment Fees/Expenses

The various payment channels we use are entitled to a portion of our revenue. The emerging markets are characterized by very low credit and debit cards penetration, which is why Anghami has focused on diversifying its payment channels to increase its user base. Partnerships with the Telco operators acted as a key catalyst to help us achieve and maintain a leading paying conversion rate amongst music streaming services in the MENA Operating Area.

161

Table of Contents

The take rate varies depending on the payment channel as follows:

•        Direct carrier billing:    51.7% of our total subscription revenues in 2020 were paid via direct carrier billing. The Telco operator’s share is subject to a revenue share agreement that varies by operator and by country. On average, Telcos charge a 30% transaction fee.

•        App stores:    34.0% of our total subscription revenues in 2020 were paid via app stores and are subject to revenue share agreements with the relevant app store. Apple Store and Google Play charge 30% of the transaction value. Both stores reduce the take rate to 15% of the transaction value in the second year of the retained user’s subscription.

•        Vouchers:    To cater to users who are not used to transact online, we offer them the possibility to buy vouchers via an offline distribution network such as Tpay, Cash United, Virgin Megastores and the Lebanese post office. 3.6% of our total subscription revenues in 2020 were paid via vouchers. Distribution partners charge up to 10%fee of the voucher value. In addition, vouchers are often combined with an advertising campaign and sold to our advertising brands, who then distribute it to its customers.

•        Debit and credit cards: There is generally a fixed transaction fee per transaction plus a variable rate that varies according to the country and currency. 2.7% of our subscription revenues in 2020 were paid via debit and credit cards, average fees amount to 5.4%.

B2B Telco contracts described above are not subject to a revenue share agreement.

Variable Technology costs

We partnered with Amazon Web Services (“AWS”) to host our servers and to provide scalability, redundancy, security and ensure continuity of our operations. In addition, we partnered with other third party technology providers to optimize our services and the music listening experience. On an average, monthly variable technology costs in 2020 amounted to $179,000. These costs vary month-to-month based on usage and app features (video vs. audio streaming, etc.).

Our Services

Table of Contents

We also give our users different ways to search, browse, engage, and discover music and other content. These include:

•        Mixtapes:    We have built a machine learning model that learns from users’ streaming habits and generates weekly and daily personalized mixtapes that fit their music taste. They are part of our effort to increase music discoverability, personalize the user’s experience by ensuring that we provide them with a variety of content inspired by the music they like.

163

Table of Contents

•        Personalized recommendations:    Our AI-powered recommendation system fuels different parts of the platform. Our explore page is shaped around personalized playlists, albums, and songs that match the users’ expectations. Those recommendations rely on their music DNA, time of day, day of week, and other factors, to surface the content that the users are most likely to enjoy and therefore increase time spent on the application. Whenever users interact with any song, album, or artist, we utilize our recommendation system to generate a list of similar content that is also personalized to make sure they enjoy a pleasant music experience.

164

Table of Contents

•        Playlists:    We provide users with the ability to create their own playlists to organize their library and access their favorite songs easily. They can also discover playlists that are made by other users or by our own curation team.

Our search engine is integrated with various virtual assistants like Siri and Google assistant to make it even easier to search and find content using audio commands.

165

Table of Contents

•        Videos:    We also have invested in expanding our content offerings to include videos. Embedding video clips into activity-based playlists helps provide a visual layer to our content offerings, allowing artists to promote their music further through graphics or photos on social media platforms while the song is playing. Integrating video into our playlists enables us to convert our listeners into content viewers.

•        Podcasts:    We offer a growing number of podcasts, which have gained significant traction with users, creators, brands, and advertisers. Our platform enables seamless dissemination of podcasts covering a wide range of genres and topics, including technology, sports, business and finance, travel, and cooking, among many others. There were a total of 485 million global podcast listeners across all platforms worldwide in 2020 which has significantly increased over the years. This engagement presents a significant opportunity for Anghami as we believe we have the ability to enhance the podcast user experience with a better product that is focused on discovery, especially since we are working on original podcasts and have developed a curated podcast section for the MENA Operating Area users.

166

•        Radar:    Discovery of new music is a big part of any user’s experience on Anghami. With a single tap, a user can trigger Radar, a recognition feature which would identify the music playing around them, display the song with all its details then add it to a special playlist for easy access. This allows users to discover new songs they hear on TV, radio, or at public places and add them to their library. Our Radar ensures offline experiences are complimented by a smooth online experience on the platform.

Immersive User Engagement

In addition to our large catalogue of music, we offer unique opportunities to our users to engage with the Anghami community through features that create an immersive social experience such as chats, stories, Anghami Live and music rooms.

•        Chats:    To increase user-to-user interaction and extend the time spent in-app, we allow users to share music with their friends directly on Anghami instead of having to use a third party chat application. This simplifies the users’ experience and encourages them to interact with others around music. Users can exchange songs and text messages via Chats and instantly create a shared mixtape that matches both their tastes.

Table of Contents

•        Stories:    Stories allow users to share the music they play with their followers in a unique way. All stories are displayed at the top of the explore page. Users can choose to share songs manually or automatically so they can be posted as chapters in their stories. Stories are 15 seconds previews of songs that users can browse in a seamless manner and react to them using Emoji’s and text replies. They allow users to discover new music through their friends and interact with others around music.

•        Live Radio:    Live Radio offers a number of unique features. Any user, including artists, DJs, content creators and music influencers, will be able to talk alongside playing songs, playlists and podcasts from Anghami’s library of over 57 million tracks. It gives everyone the chance to participate in a real-time version of a podcast experience and, by creating their own virtual events, users will be able to bring together communities with live interaction. Other features include applauding the host, sending text comments, meeting other participants and side-chats.

•        Music Match:    As part of the social music experience, Anghami allows users to find people that have a similar music taste. A music match is a score that shows on any user suggestions component and on a user’s profile page. We surface a special section of users that have a high music match on the explore page. This increases engagement between users and helps them build new friendships.

170

Table of Contents

•        Collaborative Playlists:    Users can share their playlists with their friends and allow them to collaborate on the playlist content. Collaborators can add, remove, and reorder songs directly from the playlist’s page. This allows users to build playlists together and build communities around music.

Advertising Solutions

We offer the following advertising solutions:

Media Offerings:

•        Audio Ads:    Audio ads, our core offering, are 15-second ad slots that sit in between songs, and cannot be skipped. They are accompanied by a companion banner with a call to action that can link to a landing page. It creates a one-on-one environment between the brand and the user. We have also recently released a unique audio to leads solution. This allows brands to collect Anghami first party data via a lead form that the ad leads to. This lead form can be customized with a message from the brand, to make the user want to submit their leads.

•        Video Ads:    Anghami allows brands to communicate their video copies, either 15-seconds or 30-seconds of length. These also appear in between the users’ listening experience.

171

Table of Contents

•        Display Ads:    Display, which is one of the most common media formats in the market, is available on Anghami across multiple formats. These are best used to drive traffic to a landing page. One of the reasons we offer video and display, apart from being common and known formats, is because our research has shown that combining video and display with audio drives further impact across brand funnel metrics.

•        Programmatic Integration:    Our media solutions are available programmatically, through what are typically referred to as digital signal processing (“DSP”s). Programmatic is used by clients to buy in real-time and have more cross campaign visibility. We can guarantee audio on programmatic at a fixed price, however our display solutions are available to be bought in real-time by a programmatic DSP.

Content Promotion Offerings and Production

We offer brands the ability to promote their own music content to achieve more streams. We typically do this by making the content more discoverable on the platform and easily searchable. We also provide brands the ability to sponsor a playlist. Sponsoring a playlist gives the brand 100% share of voice on that playlist, with a logo on the cover of the playlist and a display masthead within the playlist. A brand can also create their own playlist which we can in turn promote on the platform, while also leveraging the platform’s AI to recommend customized playlists to users, with a branded message.

We also offer both audio and music production capabilities to advertisers. Branded content is a significant part of Anghami’s advertising unit, as brands have become more accustomed to creating content to communicate their message, and build favorability. Anghami produces music in various forms for brands, and manages the entire process. Most notably, Anghami produces songs that brands end up owning and can promote on Anghami, as well as across other media channels. Furthermore, Anghami also creates music videos to support the songs, the majority of which are shot in studios. Anghami has also started creating experiences in the form of concerts. These can be pre-recorded and post-edited, or live. With the latter, Anghami allows brands to host the concert live via their new live feature, where people can stream live and engage with the brand, as well as with each other.

Data Solutions

To measure the effectiveness of our ad campaigns, we run research to note the awareness, favorability and recall brands have on the platform. In certain instances, we run searches on the platform to note the current level of awareness a brand may have. We send these research documents to brands post-campaign and measure against the initial awareness they had. We have also automated and decentralized certain tools to give clients the ability to cherry pick insights and create audience profiling on the platforms as well as traffic campaigns, specifically audio, display, video and playlist promotions. We have also surveyed our users via Global Web Index, across different verticalized questions and audience behavior — for example, their favorite car brand — and made this available via a tool to our clients to support their campaigns.

Anghami’s Technology

Anghami is a technology company, and as such we are continuously investing in a scalable and reliable platform to improve experience, functionality, performance and retention. As of June 2021, 43% of our employees are engineers. We are an engineering-driven, product-centric, company that puts product development at the core. The majority of our tech stack is built in-house, which allows us to easily maintain and enhance different parts of our platform. Our platform is fully integrated across our technology infrastructure, machine learning, payment, advertising, and engagement solutions. We have been focused over the past few years to introduce a social layer to build a community within our platform. We strongly believe that by connecting people to music and people to people through music using technology creates a differentiated product with higher retention. Our goals rely, partially, on the performance of our technology and infrastructure and our ability to enhance and expand in a timely and cost-effective manner. We are continuously working on expanding and enhancing the scalability of our cloud platform to improve the user experience, especially as we roll new complex products beyond our core music services.

Recommendation Systems

Recommendation systems are at the core of the Anghami app. Given our focus on the MENA Region, we invest significant effort in ensuring that recommendations of both Arabic and International music are up to standard. This means diving deep into user behavior and trying different algorithms for different segments. Focusing on the MENA Region means finding innovative solutions for dealing with Arabic content, focusing on Arabic-first solutions for search, recommendations, and discovery.

Our recommender system — Octopus –is a highly proprietary tuned hybrid where both collaborative filtering — based on implicit feedback matrix factorization and content-based filtering are combined together and used to accomplish our tasks. Moreover, we are continuously investing in Cochlea, a deep learning audio representation framework built-in house that incorporates both Mel spectrograms and Constant-Q transform in a unified architecture to take advantage of the power of these two frequency representations.

Our systems not only present algorithmic music recommendations but also extend into people, as we allow users to create mixtapes based on friends and allow users to connect with other individuals and understand with one glance their music matching. The backbone of these services is Octopus that taps into the users MusicDNA, rather than songs vectors.

We will continue to invest in machine learning to enhance our existing users’ experience and to attract new users, as well as increase conversions. We also plan to invest in innovation by leveraging the power of machine learning and data science to drive better outcomes for users and further improve our user acquisition efficiency.

Data Collection

As a technology company operating with a large user base, we have been collecting data about user behavior and consumption since early 2012. This data not only helps us understand behavior on playing music, podcasts, religious songs — but also provides insights on where the user is, what he is doing while playing music, who he shares it with, the mood he’s into, what artists he’s interested in, his consumption schedule and a lot of other data points collected from his mobile phone or other device such as activity, handset type, 3G or Wi-Fi usage. Billions of data points allow us to analyze behavior and insights that we now use for recommendations, but will also eventually for our advertising products, as well as our music production services. However, we have a core attention to the privacy of our users and protection of their data as it is important to our continued growth and success.

Cloud Architecture

We have built our platform’s technology infrastructure using a distributed and scalable architecture built to support future development while delivering high availability and low latency. We run entirely on AWS cloud infrastructure that allows us to focus on running and growing our product rather than building our own infrastructure. All of our cloud resources are deployed across multiple zones to ensure the availability of our services. Over the past year, we have been working hard at being able to switch to a multi-cloud architecture to increase reliability and reduce any dependency over the long run.

Products

Our technology extends into user facing products, artists and labels facing products, and brands facing products. We think mobile first, and most of our products have been created first and foremost for mobile.

We continue to build high quality apps across different platforms. As such we are available on multiple platforms, including iPhone/iPad, Android phones/tablets, smart watches (Apple watch, Android Wear), Car apps (Ford, CarPlay, AndroidAuto), TV apps (AppleTV, AndroidTv, LG TV, SamsungTV, Hisense TV), Windows app, Mac app, Web app, PlayStation, Sonos, and a variety of other devices.

173

Table of Contents

We have created a platform for artists/labels to manage content, data, reports but also tap into insights on users, as well as upload content directly to our platform. Artists and labels can also promote particular music using our own amplify platform. Amplify supports a variety of ways to help artists gain more visibility on the platform organically but also as a paid service for the artists, to increase reach, streams and exposure. Our brand ad products allow brands to reach users on the Anghami platform with audio ads, video ads, display ads across all our products.

Marketing

Over the last nine years, we have endeavored to build on our brand’s presence, focusing on creating a place where users can socialize and get entertained beyond simply listening to music. We offer users the ability to invite friends, watch their friends’ music stories, go live, discover their music soulmates, chat with people by text or audio, watch live concerts and much more. Our marketing efforts revolve around a key USP that caters for all music lovers: Anghami, the sound of Freedom. We believe we are the leading brand with 84% aided awareness in comparison to our direct competitors according to a study conducted in 2019 by Global Web Index in the Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Egypt.

Our key differentiator is our ability to adapt our marketing strategy to seasonality and our agile approach to real-time events which allows us to be relevant and closer to users while sounding familiar. We listen to our different user segments and create custom experiences based on their different needs in each market or region. We make use of the different internal and external marketing touchpoints to ensure we have a 360 coverage in our communications throughout the user journey in-app and through external channels. The objective being to have a unified and efficient way to spread brand love while acquiring, engaging, retaining and converting users to our premium service: Anghami Plus.

Digital Marketing

Our digital presence covers all leading networks in our key markets mainly via performance and social media marketing. We rely heavily on data analytics in our decision making by using internal tools and dashboards that reflect the performance of our campaigns. This data allows us to optimize our campaigns and make strategic and budgeting decisions to allocate the right amount on each market, OS and by platform. On social media, our aim has always been to build a strong and engaged community with our users and partners. Our strategy is implemented on each platform differently using adapted approaches. One of them being influencer marketing, which is allowing us to increase our reach when collaborating with content creators from different industries. Another successful approach has been by rewarding our Anghami Premium service users by giving them the chance to win exclusive signed merchandise from their favorite local and international artists. Our most recent addition has been our blog “Anghami talks” which was created in order to keep all stakeholders up-to-date by showcasing Anghami’s latest business and product news and updates which allowed us to have better press coverage.

Owned Media

We also employ marketing efforts on our own platform by using all different touchpoints from email marketing to SMS, native display and audio ads. The whole process in-app is built on user behavior throughout their lifecycle, but tailored to each person. A new user will go through an on-boarding process for us to better understand their music taste and start building their customized in-app journey. They can optionally choose to opt in to Anghami Premium service, completely for free during the trial period, to discover the full Anghami experience. In an effort to keep our users engaged and retained, we use the power of machine learning to recommend customized and relevant content.

We offer free trials of Anghami Premium service in all our markets and have created custom pricing models with a wide option of payment methods to cater to all user segments. We also offer a wide range discounted plan prices, some of which are seasonal campaigns and some are available throughout the year.

Offline Marketing

In the early days and through our partnership with MBC, Anghami relied a lot on TV media for brand building and brand affinity. This helped increase our brand presence in the region, especially through the association with the popular TV shows such as The Voice and Arab Idol. We run several out-of-home campaigns in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Lebanon, throughout the year, promoting the brand as well as new releases and artists. We also get offline exposure through key partners such as the Dubai International Airport where we offer free and easy web access to our platform to all airport visitors when accessing the Wi-Fi landing page. We also get support from our Telco partners who run major co-branded outdoor campaigns across the region.

In 2017, we launched our brand ambassador program in over 10 universities in Egypt with the objective of creating an active community among the youth. Additionally, we have organized and taken part in different local events, concerts and music festivals across major markets, which have been recently paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Competition

We compete for the time and attention of our users across different forms of media, including traditional broadcast, terrestrial, satellite, and internet radio, other providers of on-demand music streaming services (Spotify, YouTube, YouTube Music, Apple Music, Deezer, Google Play Music, and SoundCloud), and other providers of in-home and mobile entertainment such as cable television, video streaming services, and social media and networking websites. We compete to attract, engage, and retain users with other content providers based on a number of factors, including quality of the user experience, content range and quality, ease of use of the Anghami application, price, accessibility, perceptions of advertising load on our Ad-Supported Free service, brand awareness, and reputation. Many of our competitors enjoy competitive advantages such as greater name recognition, legacy operating histories, and larger marketing budgets, as well as greater financial, technical, human, and other resources. In addition, some of our competitors, including Google, Apple, and Amazon have developed, and continue to develop, devices for which their music streaming service is preloaded, creating a visibility advantage.

Additionally, we compete to attract and retain advertisers and a share of their advertising spend for our Ad-Supported Free service. We believe our ability to compete depends primarily on the reputation and strength of our brand as well as our reach and ability to deliver a strong return on investment to our advertisers, which is driven by the size of our Ad-Supported free user database, our advertising products, our targeting, delivery and measurement capabilities, and other tools.

We also compete to attract and retain highly talented individuals, including data scientists, engineers, product designers, and product managers. Our ability to attract and retain personnel is driven by compensation, culture, and the reputation and strength of our brand. We believe we provide competitive compensation packages and foster a team-oriented culture where each employee is encouraged to have a meaningful contribution to Anghami. We also believe the reputation and strength of our brand helps us attract individuals that are passionate about our brand.

For information on competition-related risks, see the sections entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Anghami’s Business and Industry — If Anghami’s efforts to attract prospective users and to retain existing users are not successful, Anghami’s growth prospects and revenue will be adversely affected,” “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Anghami’s Business and Industry — Anghami faces and will continue to face competition for Ad-Supported Free service users, Premium service users, and user listening time,” and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Anghami’s Business and Industry — Anghami’s business depends on a strong brand, and any failure to maintain, protect, and enhance the brand would hurt its ability to retain or expand its base of Ad-Supported Free service users, Premium service users, and advertisers.”

Intellectual Property

Our success depends in part upon our ability to protect our technologies and intellectual property. To accomplish this, we rely on a combination of intellectual property rights, including trade secrets, patents, copyrights, and trademarks, as well as contractual restrictions, technological measures, and other methods.

We have filed and acquired several active patent applications and issued patents in the MENA Operating Area, the United States and other countries. We continue to pursue additional patent protection, both in the United States and other countries outside the MENA Operating Area, where appropriate and cost effective. We intend to hold these patents as part of our strategy to protect and defend Anghami’s technology, including to protect and defend Anghami in patent-related litigation.

Our registered trademarks include our primary mark “Anghami” and various versions of the Anghami logo. In addition, “Anghami” is registered in several jurisdictions such as the New York, UK, Switzerland, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt. We also have pending trademark applications in the United States, the European Union and other countries for certain Anghami marks. Finally, we have a portfolio of internet domain names, including our primary domain www.anghami.com.

In addition to the forms of intellectual property listed above, we own rights to proprietary processes and trade secrets, including those underlying the Anghami platform. We use contractual and technological means to control the use and distribution of our proprietary software, trade secrets, and other confidential information, both internally and externally, including contractual protections with employees, contractors, customers, and partners. Finally, we also have licenses with various rights holders to stream sound recordings and the musical compositions embodied therein, as further described under “— Licensing Agreements” below, as well as licenses to stream sound recordings in videos and other types of content.

Licensing Agreements

In order to stream music to our users, we generally secure rights both to the sound recordings and the musical compositions embodied therein (i.e., the musical notes and the lyrics). To secure such rights, we obtain licenses from, and pay royalties to, rights holders or their agents. Below is a summary of certain provisions of our license agreements.

Sound Recording License Agreements with Major and Independent Record Labels

We have license agreements with record label affiliates of the three largest music companies for English/International Music — Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, and Warner Music Group — as well as Merlin, which represents the digital rights on behalf of numerous independent record labels. Similarly, we have license agreements with independent labels, as well as companies known as “aggregators” (for example, Believe International).

For Arabic music we have similar license agreements in place with Mazzika, Qanawat and Watary which represent digital rights on behalf of prominent Arabic artists. These agreements typically require us to pay royalties and make minimum guaranteed payments, and they include marketing commitments, advertising inventory, and financial and data reporting obligations. The sound recording rights granted to us with respect to these agreements, generally having a duration of 1 year, constituted for over 85% of streams for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the remaining 15% is from other independent labels. These license agreements, generally are not automatically renewable and apply to the Middle East in case of the international major labels and globally for the Arabic labels and aggregators. The license agreements also allow for the record label to terminate the agreement in certain circumstances, including, for example, our failure to timely pay sums due within a certain period, our breach of material terms. These agreements generally provide that the record labels have the right to audit us for compliance with the terms of these agreements. Further, they contain “most favored nations” provisions, which require that certain material contract terms are at least as favorable as the terms we have agreed to with any other record label. As of December 31, 2020, we have estimated future minimum guarantee commitments of approximately $8,075,000. See the section entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Anghami’s Business and Industry — Minimum guarantees required under certain of Anghami’s license agreements for sound recordings and underlying musical compositions may limit Anghami’s operations and may adversely affect its business, operating results, and financial condition.”

Musical Composition License Agreements with Music Publishers

With respect to the underlying musical compositions embodied in the sound recordings we stream, we generally secure both reproduction (“mechanical”) and public performance rights from the owners of the compositions (or their agents). In the United States, the rates we pay are for mechanical rights, a function of a ratemaking proceeding conducted by an administrative agency called the Copyright Royalty Board. The most recent proceeding before the Copyright Royalty Board (the “Phonorecords III Proceedings”) set the rates for the Section 115 compulsory license for calendar years 2018 to 2022. The Copyright Royalty Board issued its initial written determination on January 26, 2018 and set up the Mechanical Licensing Collective (The MLC). The MLC is a nonprofit organization designated by the U.S. Copyright Office pursuant to the historic Music Modernization Act of 2018. In January 2021, The MLC began administering blanket mechanical licenses to eligible streaming and download services (digital service providers or DSPs) in the United States, which Anghami opted for and obtained a Blanket License for Mechanical Rights in the US. The MLC collects the royalties due under those licenses from the DSPs and pays songwriters, composers, lyricists, and music publishers. We currently believe that the current rates will not materially impact our business, operating results, and financial condition in the US as although the US is our biggest market outside of the MENA Operating Area, it is not significant in comparison to our markets in the MENA Operating Area. However, if our business does decide to expand fully (with Arabic and International music both) in the US market, and does not perform as expected or if the rates are modified to be higher than the proposed rates, our content acquisition costs could increase and impact our ability to obtain content on pricing terms favorable to us, which could negatively harm our business, operating results, and financial condition and hinder our ability to provide interactive features in our services, or cause one or more of our services not to be economically viable in US.

In the United States, public performance rights are generally obtained through intermediaries known as PROs, which negotiate blanket licenses with copyright users for the public performance of compositions in their repertory, collect royalties under such licenses, and distribute those royalties to copyright owners. We have obtained public performance licenses from, and pay license fees to, the major PROs in the United States, including ASCAP, and are in the process of obtaining licenses from other prominent PRO, including SESAC, Inc., among others. These agreements have music usage reporting obligations and audit rights for the PROs. In addition, these agreements typically have one to two year terms, and some have continuous renewal provisions, with either party able to terminate for convenience with one to two months’ prior written notice, and are limited to the territory of the United States and its territories and possessions.

With respect to publishing rights in the MENA Operating Area, Anghami pays on the rates to various rights owners through a ratemaking process conducted on a case by case basis negotiating each license. We obtain mechanical and performance licenses for musical compositions either through local collecting societies representing publishers or from publishers directly, or a combination thereof. There are cases of publishing deals which are represented by bodies or agents which combine both Mechanical and Public Performance rights. Since in many countries in the MENA Operating Areas there are no collection societies we cannot guarantee that our licenses with the existing few collecting societies and/or our direct licenses with publishers provide full coverage for all of the musical compositions we make available to our users in such countries. As such there is a fragmented copyright licensing landscape which leads to publishers, songwriters, and other rights holders choosing not to be represented by collecting societies and that adversely impacts our ability to secure favorable licensing arrangements in connection with musical compositions that such rights holders own or control, including increasing the costs of licensing such musical compositions, or subjecting us to significant liability for copyright infringement.

From time to time, our license agreements with certain rights holders and/or their agents, including both sound recording license agreements with major and independent record labels and musical composition license agreements with music publishers, may expire while we negotiate renewals. Per industry custom and practice, we and those rights holders may continue such agreements on a month-to-month basis or enter into other short-term extensions, and/or continue to operate as if the license agreement had been extended (including by our continuing to make music available). It also is possible that such agreements will never be renewed at all. The lack of renewal, or termination, of one or more of our license agreements, or the renewal of a license agreement on less favorable terms, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. See the section entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Anghami’s Business and Industry — Anghami depends on third-party licenses for sound recordings and musical compositions and an adverse change to, loss of, or claim that it does not hold any necessary licenses may materially adversely affect its business, operating results, and financial condition.”

We also obtain licenses directly from artists, through our Dashboard License Agreement, that contains simpler terms of the licensing agreement signed with the labels and distributors.

We opted to create new and original content as part of our Anghami Originals project, whereby we create new content for artists through collaboration agreements, in addition to hosting and producing Anghami Sessions with the artists whereby the latter performs his/her songs in a different format and set up. Anghami Originals and Anghami Sessions’ intellectual property is sometimes owned by Anghami or by the artist or even co-owned, with ownership being addressed on a case by case basis. Anghami also produces music in various forms for brands. This branded content is owned by the brands and promoted on Anghami.

Government Regulations

We are subject to many U.S. federal and state, European, Luxembourg, MENA Operating Area and other foreign laws and regulations, including those related to privacy, data protection, content regulation, intellectual property, consumer protection, rights of publicity, health and safety, employment and labor, competition, and taxation. These laws and regulations are constantly evolving and may be interpreted, applied, created, or amended in a manner that could harm our business. In addition, it is possible that certain governments may seek to block or limit our products or otherwise impose other restrictions that may affect the accessibility or usability of any or all of our products for an extended period of time or indefinitely.

In the area of information security and data protection, the laws in several jurisdictions require companies to implement specific information security controls to protect certain types of information. Data protection, privacy, consumer protection, content regulation, and other laws and regulations are very stringent and vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. In particular, we are subject to the data protection/privacy regulation under the laws of the EU.

The framework legislation at an EU level with respect to data protection currently is Directive 95/46/EC (the “Data Protection Directive”). The purpose of the Data Protection Directive is to provide for the protection of the individual’s right to privacy with respect to the processing of personal data. Each member state is obligated to have national legislation consistent with the Data Protection Directive. We are therefore subject to the local implementing rules of the European countries where we are established (for example, Luxembourg and Sweden). These local laws can impose stringent rules relating to the way in which we process personal data.

The Data Protection Directive will be superseded by the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), which came into effect on May 25, 2018. The GDPR is intended to create a single legal framework that applies across all EU member states. However, there are certain areas where EU member states can derogate from the requirements in their own legislation. It is therefore likely that we will need to comply with these local regulations in addition to the GDPR. Local Supervisory Authorities will be able to impose fines of up to 4% of annual worldwide turnover of the preceding financial year or €20 million, whichever is greater, for non-compliance. These data protection authorities will have the power to carry out audits, require companies to cease or change processing, request information, and obtain access to premises. Where consent is relied upon as the legal basis for processing personal data, businesses must be able to demonstrate that the data subjects gave their consent to the processing of their personal data and will bear the burden of proof that consent was validly obtained and can be withdrawn at any time. The GDPR implemented more stringent operational requirements for processors and controllers of personal data, including, for example, requiring enhanced disclosures to data subjects about how personal data is processed, limiting retention periods of personal data, requiring mandatory data breach notification, and requiring additional policies and procedures to comply with the accountability principle under the GDPR. In addition, data subjects have more robust rights with regard to their personal data.

Our privacy policy and terms and conditions of use describe our practices concerning the use, transmission, and disclosure of user information and are posted on our website.

Legal Proceedings

Anghami is from time to time subject to various claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings. Some of these claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings involve highly complex issues, and often these issues are subject to substantial uncertainties. Accordingly, our potential liability with respect to a large portion of such claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings cannot be estimated with certainty. Management, with the assistance of legal counsel, periodically reviews the status of each significant matter and assesses potential financial exposure. Anghami recognizes provisions for claims or pending litigation when it determines that an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Due to the inherent uncertain nature of litigation, the ultimate outcome or actual cost of settlement may materially vary from estimates. If management’s estimates prove incorrect, current reserves could be inadequate and Anghami could incur a charge to earnings which could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition, net worth, and cash flows.

In 2019, Anghami initiated an arbitration proceeding at the Commercial Courts in Beirut against Rotana Audio and Video (“Rotana”) for breach of the provisions of the license agreement dated April 18, 2015, entered into between the Company and Rotana (the “License Agreement”), seeking to recover approximately $5.5 million as compensation for the unlawful termination of the License Agreement. All correspondences have been finalized and the award was expected to be issued. However, an unexpected delay occurred since the appointed arbitrator in this case was appointed as Minister of Justice and requested her recusal from the case. We expect that once a new government is formed, the arbitrator shall resume her duties. In October 2019, Rotana filed a suit against Anghami before Beirut First Instance Court, claiming that Anghami has been illegally distributing content owned by Rotana without a license. In December 2019, the Beirut First Instance Court issued an order rejecting Rotana’s claim on the grounds that no infringement had occurred. Rotana appealed the First Instance Court decision before the Appeal Court, which appeal was rejected on February 25, 2020 for lack of legal grounds. Rotana has the option to file another appeal before the Court of Cassation, if it does not then the decision of the Appeal court shall be deemed final. Rotana also initiated a legal claim against Anghami before the Cyber Crime Bureau in September 2020, alleging that Anghami kept some content owned by Rotana without a license, requesting removal of the content and claiming compensation of $1 million. The general attorney of the Cyber Crime Bureau transferred the claim in front of the Criminal Judge in Beirut on February 10, 2021. The legal claim is currently pending decision. Anghami filed an administrative complaint against Rotana Audio and Video and Deezer, before the General Authority for Competition in the Saudi Arabia, alleging abuse of dominance in the Saudi Arabia in 2019. The complaint is pending before the committee.

Anghami issued a trademark claim against the Ministry of Commerce of the Saudi Arabia, requesting annulment of the Anghami trademark registered for the benefit of Vivdville Inc., under two classes. Anghami has also filed a claim at the Commercial Courts in Riyadh, against the Ministry of Commerce, for falsely registering the mark “Anghami” for Vivdville Inc., in Saudi Arabia. The claim is currently in the last stages of appeal at the High Court in Saudi Arabia, pending a court sitting to be assigned by the High Court. Anghami filed an opposition claim of the published mark in the UAE Trademark Office Committee for the benefit of Vivdville Inc.. On September 21, 2020, the UAE Trademark Office Committee issued a decision rejecting our opposition. Anghami appealed the decision of the Ministry of Economy and filed a Grievance dismissal objection in October 2020. The appeal is currently pending.

Property and Equipment

Anghami’s headquarters are in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE, at the ADGM. The ADIO, being the Abu Dhabi government’s investment attraction and development hub, has committed to providing up to approximately AED 60 million (which as of September 13, 2021 would have been approximately $16.5 million) in financial incentives to support the establishment, growth and development of our technology and research and development center in Abu Dhabi. Pursuant to the incentive programme agreement entered into between ADIO and Anghami, dated December 23, 2020, as amended on September 26, 2021. Anghami will be entitled to receive these financial incentives, in the form of rebates, only upon meeting certain performance metrics and conditions. These include, establishing the project plan (which includes setting up the new global headquarters in Abu Dhabi and moving personnel to such office), certain employment commitments and investment commitments. Based on these achievements, Anghami will have to submit quarterly financial reports and ADIO has the right to approve these

reports and determine applicable rebates payable for such quarter. In addition, Anghami has agreed to use reasonable efforts to explore a dual listing on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange if Anghami determines that a dual listing is in its best interest, subject to prevailing market conditions, within 18 months of entering into the agreement. We also lease regional offices in Beirut, Dubai, Cairo and Riyadh. Our computing needs are fully serviced from our cloud infrastructure. We believe that our current facilities are adequate to meet our needs for the near future and that suitable additional or alternative space will be available on commercially reasonable terms to accommodate our foreseeable future operations. However, we may expand our footprint if circumstances or business concerns warrant doing so.

Employees

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, we had 114 and 116 full-time and part-time employees, respectively, including seven part-time employees as of December 31, 2020 and four part-time employees as of December 31, 2019.

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with “Selected Historical Financial Data of Anghami” and our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.    This discussion and analysis reflects our historical results of operations and financial position, and, except as otherwise indicated below, does not give effect to the completion of this registration. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current plans, expectations, and beliefs involving risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements due to various factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and in other parts of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Overview

Anghami is a technology-driven mobile-first music platform that offers listeners in the MENA Operating Area unlimited Arabic and international music to stream and download.

Today we are the leading music-streaming platform in the MENA Operating Area. We partner with mobile telecom operators across the region, have direct relationships with 36 Telcos, and with MBC group, the largest media group in the MENA Region, and utilize these relationships and our business plan to fuel growth and boost customer acquisition. We digitize local Arabic music catalogs and also offer innovative social features allowing users to chat and meet locally. Furthermore, built on 56 million user data points, we utilize our artificial intelligence (“AI”) and machine learning algorithms, to predict user behavior, capture investment returns and spur product development. With an Arabic speaking population of over 400 million worldwide, we plan to continue to expand our user base globally and invest in delivering a unique music streaming experience.

We offer more than 57 million songs to more than 70 million registered users with close to 9 billion streams per year as of December 2020. We currently monetize our service through both subscriptions and advertising. Our Premium service users numbered 1.42 million and our Ad-Supported free service users were 7.14 million as of December 31, 2020. The Premium service and Ad-Supported users support each other’s growth, and we leverage the Telco’s strong marketing capabilities to drive acquisition of new Premium subscribers. Our Premium service and Ad-Supported free service and revenue have continued to grow since inception although from 2019 to 2020 our Ad-Supported revenue has decreased due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

We have long standing business relationships within the music industry, locally in the MENA Operating Area and globally with the major music labels including Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, Warner Music Group and the Merlin Network. We also have licensing agreements with thousands of independent labels to provide users with legal access to a vast catalog of music.

Our investors currently include leading MENA financial investors including venture capital firms, private equity firms and strategic shareholders, including MBC group, a Saudi-owned media conglomerate, and other leading telecommunications companies.

Recent Developments

Live Radio

On May 4, 2021, we announced the launch of Live Radio, an innovative music and voice real-time audio experience that enables users to tune in, listen to music and interact via text messaging and audio in real time collectively. Fully developed in-house by Anghami, this is a cutting-edge social audio service that allows users to enjoy music together, sharing conversations and more.

Virtual Concerts

Additionally, we have built full capabilities to stream virtual concerts live with the ability to sell tickets on our platform via credit cards and mobile carrier billing. Top Arabic artists that had their concerts streamed live on our platform include Amr Diab, Yara, and Adonis.

The Business Combination

On March 3, 2021, we entered into the Business Combination Agreement with VMAC, Pubco, Anghami Merger Sub and Vistas Merger Sub. The Business Combination is a reverse merger between VMAC and us whereby our shareholders will become the largest group of shareholders of the newly established entity, Pubco. Upon the completion of the merger, which is expected in the fourth quarter of 2021, Anghami Inc. will be listed on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “ANGH.” As part of the Business Combination and upon the completion of the merger, Anghami Inc. intends to raise at least $40 million through a committed PIPE (Private Investment in Public Equity) investment.

Impact of COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant negative impact on our business and that of our customers. The direct impact on our business, beyond disruptions in normal business operations, was driven by the reduced spending of major advertisers and consumer spending on discretionary items, which in turn adversely affected our revenue from both Ad-Supported subscriptions and Premium subscriptions. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 many of our advertisers have increased their advertising budget and there has been a recovery in this segment. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, artists and other content creators have experienced delays or interruptions in their ability to create and release new content on the platform. The decrease in the amount or quality of content available on Anghami’s platform has adversely affected user engagement and our financial performance during the year ended December 31, 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic also delayed our fundraising process to the last quarter of 2020. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 on our financial performance and results of operations will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including the duration and scope of the pandemic, the impact of the pandemic on economic activity, and actions taken by governments, businesses, and individuals in response to the length of time that these disruptions exist.

Corporate Social Responsibility Strategy

Giving back to our community and caring for the locals is in our DNA. In addition to our innovation, what sets us apart is our corporate social responsibility and our 2020 was full of charitable events that made a positive impact on our community and local people. See the section entitled “— Corporate Social Responsibility Strategy” below.

Key Components of Our Operating Results

Revenue.

We operate and manage our business in two reportable segments: (1) Premium service, branded as Anghami Plus, which accounts for around 81% of the revenues during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and 77% during the six months ended June 30, 2021, and (2) Ad-Supported, consisting of advertising revenue generated from Ad-Supported free service, which accounts for 19% of the revenues during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and 23% during the six months ended June 30, 2021. We identify these lines of businesses based on the organizational units used by management to monitor the performance and other key aspects of our business in order to make operational decisions, including but not limited to the type of subscriber, the channel of subscribing customer (direct subscriptions, app stores or Telcos (Business to Customer (“B2C”) or B2B), the type and volume of the content consumed, the intellectual property (“IP”) owners of the consumed content, the country of the subscribing customer, research and development and capital allocations.

Premium Subscriptions.    Our Premium service segment provides paid subscribers with a commercial free streaming experience, unlimited access to online streaming content and unlimited downloads across various devices. In addition, Premium subscribers can download encrypted music and have access to exclusive contents and pre-releases. As of December 31, 2019 and 2020, and June 30, 2021, we had approximately 1.37 million, 1.42 million and 1.33 million Premium subscribers, respectively. New Premium subscriber growth is driven by conversion of Ad-Supported and free trial users. Premium subscribers are split into two groups. First, direct subscription, which includes subscribers who subscribe via Apple Store, Google Play Store, Paypal, our website or through prepaid subscription cards. Second, Telco subscription, which includes subscribers who subscribe via the Telco network. We have two types of subscribers through the Telco network: (1) B2C subscribers who choose to subscribe to Anghami Plus (our Premium service) and pay their subscription through their mobile carrier billing, and (2) B2B subscribers to whom we sell bulk subscriptions at a discount to the Telcos, which

in return bundle our subscription with other services and sell the bundled plan to their users. We received an average monthly revenue of $163,000 from the B2B subscriptions in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and $159,195 during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Ad-Supported Revenue.    Without a subscription fee, our Ad-Supported free service users are provided with limited access to on-demand online streaming content with audio or video advertisements played intermittently. We generate revenue from charging the brands a fee on cost per minute (“CPM”) basis of the display, audio and video advertising. The fee rate varies across countries and regions. In addition, we sell branded content to advertisers where we customize audio and music video contents for brands that wish to release songs featuring their brands. Among the brands that we worked with are PepsiCo and OmanTel. Revenue from our Ad-Supported segment is impacted by the profile of our Ad-Supported free service users, our ability to reach the target audience with respect to the advertisers and in the geographic markets in which we operate.

Cost of Revenue.

Cost of revenue consists mainly of royalty costs, publishing rights costs, processing fees and technology infrastructure.

Content acquisition and royalty costs.    Our content cost makes up approximately half the total cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the six months ended June 30, 2021. We pay the content cost, which mainly represents royalty fees, to music labels for the right to stream their content on our platform. For the Ad-Supported segment, the content cost is driven by the number of streams per label, net proceeds from advertising revenue and the per stream rate. For the Premium service segment, the content cost is dependent on the number of subscribers, the number of streams per label, the rate per subscriber, the rate per stream and revenue per subscriber. Rates per subscriber and rates per stream vary by country and region. The cost of labels are calculated per country on a monthly basis. In certain cases, our negotiated rates are dependent on meeting certain key performance indicators (“KPI”s) like growth of subscribers or implementing content usage restriction on Ad-Supported users. Certain content cost agreements require a minimum annual guarantee to be paid by us representing approximately 50% of our content cost, currently estimated at $11,104,167 at June 30, 2021. This minimum guarantee is renegotiated annually and is typically recouped against monthly calculated costs, but not always. In certain cases, we might not recoup the full minimum guarantee which will result in higher content cost and lower gross profit margin. The un-recouped balances have not been significant to date.

Publishing Rights Cost.    Publishing rights are comprised of mechanical licensing and public performance licensing. Mechanical rights grant its holder the right to reproduce and distribute copyrighted musical compositions while public performance rights enable songwriters, composers and music publishers to have the exclusive right to play and authorize others to play their music under copyright laws. Similar to content cost, we negotiate with Performing Rights Organizations (“PRO”s) on rates, minimum guarantees, and settlement terms for mechanical and public performance rights. PROs are organizations that track, license, and pay for songwriters and publishers their royalties.

Processing and Agency Fees.    We incur significant processing fees relating to app stores such as Apple Store and Google Play and through the revenue sharing agreements with Telcos. Credit card usage is low in the MENA Region, so we partnered with the leading Telcos in the region to utilize their network as a payment processing solution. Similar to the app store fees, Telcos’ revenue sharing agreements stand at approximately 30% of the revenue generated from subscribers through the Telco network.

Technology Infrastructure Costs.    These costs relate to the cloud computing and server rental expenses.

Amortization of intangible assets.    Cost of revenue also includes amortization of intangible assets relating to the product development, including part of the engineers’ salaries (see the section entitled “— Key Components of Our Operating Results — Cost of Revenue — Research and Development” below) and costs related to new song creations. Since 2017, we have created more than fifty original songs in which we partner with top and rising artists to create a new song or remix an existing song. The cost to create a new song including lyrics, mixing and mastering, artist fees and production costs are capitalized under intellectual property. Once released, the capitalized cost is amortized on a double declining method over three years with 5% salvage value.

Research and Development.    We invest heavily in research and development. We have been focused on creating distinctive application features that enhance user experience and increases user engagement on the platform, such as unique features like live radio, chats, and stories. We capitalize as product development part of our engineering cost. Capitalized cost is amortized on a straight-line basis over a five-year period and reported under the cost of revenue.

187

Table of Contents

In 2020, we capitalized 52% of engineering salaries related to major enhancement of existing functionality or development of new features like live radio and daily and offline mixtapes, an increase from the 42% capitalization in 2019. In the six months ended June 30, 2021, we capitalized 40% of engineering salaries. Time spent by engineers on research of new features or managing day-to-day operations like content ingestion, Telco integrations and reporting are expensed as part of monthly employee expenses.

Marketing and Branding Expense.    This includes all the digital and social media campaigns, television, offline and outdoor campaigns utilized to promote our brand recognition, user acquisition and user retargeting. It also includes all software subscriptions needed for marketing such as appearance of Anghami on search engines as well as marketing research needed for developing growth and acquisition strategies.

Advertising.    Advertising expenses consist of fees paid to advertising and branding agencies to promote and sell ad campaigns to regional and international brands on our platform. We partner with the largest digital ad agency in the MENA Region.

General and Administrative.

General and administrative expenses consist mainly of employee compensations, share-based compensation expense, consulting and professional fees and depreciation. Employee compensation includes salaries and benefits of finance, accounting, legal, analytics, and operations teams. Consulting and professional fees are related to legal, audit, and tax advisory. After the Business Combination, we will be implementing additional procedures and processes to address standards applicable to public companies. Accordingly, we expect to incur additional fees relating to directors’ fees, director liabilities insurance, reporting requirements of the SEC, Nasdaq listing fees, increased audit and advisory fees and hiring additional accounting, legal, compliance and administrative staff. We also expect to incur one-time deal related fees including special audit fees, filing and legal advisory fees related to the Business Combination. We have incurred $2 million for the total advisory, legal and other fees in preparation of the Business Combination and expect to incur an additional $12 million in cash for financial advisers’ fees, legal fees, research and media coverage, and advisory fees, which will be paid from the proceeds received as part of the Business Combination.

Key Performance Indicators (unaudited)

In addition to the IFRS financial metrics that we regularly monitor, we also monitor the following metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance and identify trends affecting our business. The metrics provided below are unaudited and were not prepared with a view toward public disclosure or compliance with the published guidelines of the SEC, or the applicable guidelines for the preparation and presentation of financial statements. The metrics provided below may not be comparable to metrics issued by other issuers or competitors.

Active Users

We track active users as an indicator of the size of the audience engaged with our platform. Active users are the users who used our app for at least once over a three month look back period from the period-end reported. We use the three month period because we have strong seasonality of music consumption in the MENA Operating Area due to major holidays. For example, users consume less contents during Ramadan, the Muslim holy month, while music activity increases drastically in December. Active users number dropped in 2019 due to the loss of a partnership with a major label and the new competition from international players, and increased in 2020 as many churned users returned to our platform from our successful retargeting campaigns. We believe that there is a large potential of user acquisition capacity in Saudi Arabia and Egypt where our market share is less than 10% of the total addressable market with the target population aged 10-50 years old who have access to the internet. The table below sets forth our active users as of December 31, 2019 and 2020, and as of June 30, 2020 and 2021.

Active users decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to December 31, 2020, due to the decrease in marketing spending and the holy months of Ramadan which occurred between mid-April 2021 and mid-May 2021. Active users increased by 20% between June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2021 reflecting the overall improvement in user activity and retention.

Premium Subscribers, Conversion and ARPU

We define Premium subscribers as users who have completed registration on our platform and activated a payment method for Premium services. Premium subscribers include subscribers who are within a grace period of up to 30 days after failure to pay their subscription fee as well as free trial users. We define the Premium average revenue per user, or ARPU, as the monthly measure of total Premium subscription revenue earned during a specific month, divided by the total number of Premium subscribers over the period of that specific month, that contributed towards the monthly revenue. Premium subscribers at the month-end are counted without duplication, that is, if a single subscriber has subscribed to different plans over the month, that subscriber is counted as one single subscriber. Free trial users are not counted for the purposes of ARPU. Total Premium subscription revenue includes revenue earned from all types of Premium subscribers (daily, weekly, monthly, semi-annual and annual) and is calculated on an accrual basis excluding any unearned revenue at month-end. We have one of the highest Premium subscribers’ conversion rates in emerging markets, exceeding 20% in 2020, driven by our marketing efforts and a strong partnership with Telcos, who launch seasonal SMS campaigns to entice users to subscribe to our Premium services. Conversion rate means the total number of Premium subscribers (daily, weekly, monthly, semi-annual, annual and free trial users) across all Premium subscription plans that contributed to the Premium revenue in any given month divided by the number of MAUs for that month. Daily Premium subscribers are those subscribers who subscribe to our daily Premium plan (meaning the subscription covers one day), whereas monthly Premium Subscribers are those who subscribe to our monthly Premium plan (meaning the subscription covers one month). Premium subscribers includes subscribers to all types of Premium plans (daily, weekly, monthly, semi-annual and annual). Starting 2018, we have focused on increasing daily premium subscribers as a starting point for our users to try our Premium services, and then incentivize them to convert into monthly Premium subscribers through long term offers, free trials and discounts. Through these efforts, we have increased our ARPU from $1.73 for the month ended December 30, 2019 to $2.26 for the month ended December 31,2020 while maintaining the same subscribers base.

Number of Premium Subscribers decreased in June 2021 primarily due to a decrease in daily subscribers who have an ARPU (with respect to daily subscribers only) of less than $0.5 per month. However, ARPU increased by 7.8% in June 2021 compared to June 2020 due to continued focus on optimization whereby daily and weekly subscribers were converted to monthly Premium Subscribers. This has also resulted in an increase in number of monthly paying Premium Subscribers by 135,609 subscribers or 17.5% in June 2021 compared to June 2020.

The tables below set forth our Premium subscribers, monthly Premium subscribers, ARPU and our direct integration from Telco users for the months of December 2020 and December 2019 and for the months of June 2020 and June 2021, respectively.

Unit Economics and EBITDA

We measure our efficiency by the rate of investment, or ROI, on marketing expenses, defined as our total annual revenue divided by the total annual amount of sales, branding and marketing expenses. We optimized our limited marketing budget by leveraging our expertise, and data across different marketing channels, such as Facebook, Instagram or app stores, and across different countries to attract new users in various demographics. Our ROI increased significantly from 3.8 times in 2019 to 5.8 times in 2020. The table below sets forth our average ROI on marketing expense for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we continued our strategy of optimizing our limited marketing budget which increased our ROI to 5.1 times compared to 4.5 times in the six months ended June 30, 2020. EBITDA decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, due to the increasing employee-related expenses, travel and transaction related expenses.

The tables below sets forth our average ROI on marketing expense for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, and the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively.

User Engagement

We focused on maintaining strong user engagement during 2020 and the six months ended June 30, 2021 to minimize churn and increase Premium conversion. Despite the economic and operational challenges from COVID-19, we maintained a stable average daily streaming time for Premium subscribers in 2019, 2020 and the six months ended June 30,2021. The average streaming time remained stable at 1.25 hours for Premium subscribers and 45 minutes for Ad-Supported users. We achieved this through both our technology and content marketing initiatives. On the technology front, we launched new features such as live radio that enables broadcasters to stream their playlists and songs to their followers live. We also improved our machine learning algorithm so more users listened to the playlists recommended by the platform. On the content marketing initiatives front, we launched multiple initiatives like live events with artists, partnerships with top international DJs such as Marshmallow to create exclusive playlists on Anghami to attract new users and building music communities across the MENA Operating Area. We define churned subscriber as a monthly paying subscriber who churned from his or her Premium subscription during a given month and did not recover later during the same month or the 30 days following the churn date. Churn rate is defined as the percentage of monthly Premium subscribers who stopped paying Premium fee in the 30-day look back period from the indicated period end, out of the total Premium subscribers. The churn rate remained relatively stable between December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2021. The tables below set forth the churn rate for the months ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, and June 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively.

Arabic Content and Originals Creation

We stand out for our strong local Arabic content and user base. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, Arabic songs streaming time on our platform stabled at approximately 45% and increased to 48% in the six months ended June 30, 2021 of total streams, although Arabic catalogue represented only 1% of Anghami’s total song library, and new Arabic releases were low in 2020 compared with international counterparts. We believe this represents an opportunity to invest in Arabic content creation, which has generated a high ROI. Since the beginning of 2018, we have created more than 50 original Arabic songs that generated an ROI of 60% on our production cost with the best successes from Arabic and international remixes. Not only has it built a foundation for strong relationships with international labels, creating Arabic contents will also be a cornerstone of our growth strategy and a key differentiator for us.

Results of Operations

Our performance in 2019 was strong; revenues increased by more than 35% with strong growth across both of the Premium and Ad-Supported segments, driven by increased conversion of Premium subscribers and increased revenue from the advertisers on our platform. We increased the conversion rate by introducing more plans, bundles and signing agreements with new Telcos. Furthermore, we introduced new advertisement tools that attracted new brands with higher advertising budgets, resulting in revenue growth of more than 30% for Ad-Supported segment.

Although 2020 started with several challenges, we have strived to increase our Premium subscribers despite the significant reduction in the advertisement revenue and our reduced marketing spending of our own brand. We reacted proactively to the pandemic and adjusted our business plan for the remaining of 2020 to adapt to our capital constraints and expected revenue decline. In March 2020, we launched a cost saving initiative to preserve our cash flows whereby we cut spending on marketing and branding expenses by 36%. In addition, we reduced our headcount by 10% and implemented salary cuts to reduce salary expenses by more than 20%. Salary cuts were effective between March and September 2020. We focused all our efforts on converting our free Ad-Supported users to Premium users. We succeeded in maintaining our 2020 revenues almost flat with 2019.

In 2020, our Premium subscription revenue increased by 7%, offset by the 28% drop in our Ad-Supported revenues. Our Premium segment performed well in 2020. Monthly Premium subscribers (which includes free trial subscribers) increased in 2020 by approximately 7% as compared to the month of December 2019. In addition, the ARPU also increased for the month of December 2020 by more than 30% as compared to the month of December 2019, mainly due to the increase in the number of monthly Premium subscribers, who have a higher ARPU compared to daily and weekly subscribers, and a decrease in the number of daily subscribers. Free trial users are not counted for the purposes of ARPU and therefore the denominator used in calculating the ARPU is smaller than it would be if these free trial users were included. The average ARPU for the fiscal year 2020 of $1.85 increased by 13.5% compared to the average ARPU of $1.63 for the fiscal year 2019, while the average number of Premium subscribers for the fiscal year 2020 decreased by 7.0% compared to the average number of Premium subscribers for the fiscal year 2019. We believe this is a clear testament to the strength of Anghami’s music streaming service that continues to spur the shift in user behavior towards subscribing to our Premium services.

Our performance in 2020 across our geographic markets was mixed. Saudi Arabia was the strongest market where revenues grew by 6% driven by the increased Telco subscribers, followed by a slight increase of revenues from Egypt driven by the growth in Ad-Supported revenues. The UAE market saw a 16% decline in revenue in 2020 as compared to 2019 due to lower Ad-Supported revenues in 2020.

In the six months ended June 30, 2021, our Premium subscription revenue increased by 3% and our Ad-Supported revenue increased by 67%. Our Premium segment remained stable despite the limited growth-marketing spending and the Monthly Premium subscribers (which includes free trial subscribers) increased by approximately 17% as compared to the month of June 2020. In addition, the ARPU also increased for the month of June 2021 by more than 10% as compared to the month of June 2020, mainly due to the increase in the number of monthly Premium subscribers, who have a higher ARPU compared to daily and weekly subscribers. The average ARPU for the six months ended June 30, 2021 of $1.89 increased by 10% compared to the average ARPU of $1.72 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, while the average number of Premium subscribers for the six months ended June 30 2021 decreased by 4% compared to the average number of Premium subscribers for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, UAE was the strongest geographic market where revenues grew by 19% driven by the growth in Ad-Supported revenues, followed by Egypt with 18% driven by increase in number of monthly Premium subscribers and the Ad-Supported revenues. The Saudi Arabia market saw a 10% decrease in revenue due to decrease in number of Premium subscribers.

Revenue from Premium Segment.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, revenue from Premium segment comprised 81% of our total revenue. Compared with 2019, the revenue from Premium segment increased by $1.5 million, or 7%. The increase was due to an 7% increase in the number of monthly Premium subscribers, driven by our strong initiative to convert the Ad-Supported users into Premium subscribers. In addition, the revenue from Premium Subscriptions was positively impacted by the 30% increase in the ARPU during the month ended December 31, 2020, primarily driven by an increase in subscription rates and a change in user mix from daily subscribers to monthly subscribers.

Revenue from Premium segment remained relatively stable in the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The 5.3% decrease in the total number of Premium subscribers was countered by a 17.5% increase in monthly Premium subscribers and a 10% increase in ARPU during the month ended June 30 2021, primarily driven by a change in user mix from daily subscribers to monthly subscribers. During September 2021, Anghami’s subsidiaries, Anghami FZ, LLC and Anghami KSA Co., also entered into certain promotion agreements with Souq.com FZ-LLC and Afaq Q-Tech General Trading Co, respectively, in connection with their participation in the Amazon Prime program, which allows them to offer certain promotions, including a discounted subscription to the “Anghami Plus” program, to certain Amazon Prime members, subject to certain terms and conditions. In addition, Anghami has entered into a business relationship with a Telco in Iraq. We believe that these new initiatives will enable us to further penetrate key markets in the MENA Operating Area and increase our conversion rate.

Revenue from Ad-Supported Segment.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the revenue from Ad-Supported segment comprised close to 19% of our total revenue. Compared with 2019, the revenue from Ad-Supported segment decreased by $2.2 million or 28%. The significant drop was due to the global economic crisis caused by COVID-19 pandemic that has caused a significant decline in our advertisers’ marketing budgets.

Revenue from Ad-Supported segment increased by 67% during the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020 as the market began recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic. Brands are spending more and live events like Riyadh Season in Saudi Arabia and Expo 2020 in UAE are attracting big marketing budgets on

Content acquisition and royalty costs

Content acquisition and royalty costs have increased by $0.35 million or 3% during the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to 2019. The increase was driven primarily by the 7% increase in the number of monthly Premium subscribers, which led to more content acquisitions and a higher cost for such content acquisition. The increase in the six months ended June 30, 2021 was driven by increased cost per Premium subscriber charged by major international labels.

Payment processing and agency fees

Payment processing and agency fees represent 29% of total subscription revenue in 2019 compared to 27.5% in 2020. The cost remained relatively stable during the year ended December 31, 2020 compared with 2019, driven by the lower negotiated fees from our revenue share agreements with key Telcos.

Between the six months ended June 30, 2020 and the six months ended June 30, 2021, revenue processed through credit cards increased by 267% and Telco B2B revenue increased by 70%. Credit card fees are significantly lower than the payment processing fees charged by Telcos on B2C revenue and App stores and revenue generated from Telco B2B is not subject to any payment processing and agency fees. This change in revenue mix between the two periods resulted in a 7% decrease in agency fees.

Publishing rights

Publishing rights cost has increased by $0.5 million or 41% during the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to 2019 and $0.5 million or 58% during the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in publishing rights is a natural result from the growth and maturing of the MENA

Table of Contents

Region music industry. From 2018, after the global streaming platforms like Spotify, Deezer and YouTube Music entered the MENA Region, the global PROs have started negotiations on the artists’ royalties relating to mechanical and public performance licensing. We completed the negotiations with leading PROs in first quarter of 2021 and recorded an adjustment in the year ended December 31, 2020 relating to historical publishing rights costs.

Technology infrastructure costs

During the year ended December 31, 2020, technology infrastructure cost decreased by $84,597 or 4% as compared to 2019. The slight decrease is driven by the optimization in our technology infrastructure and long terms deals signed with our technology partners that decreased our unit cost. Technology infrastructure cost slightly increased during six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to six months ended June 30, 2020 as a result of scaling up new product features such as the live radio and live concerts.

Amortization of intangible assets

Amortization of intangibles assets increased by $186,020 or 43% during the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to 2019. Intangible assets, include the costs of application development and original content creation, have increased by $0.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2020, which resulted in a higher amortization cost. The increase in capitalized intangible assets is normal as we invest heavily into research and original content creation and is expected to continue in the future as new features are added to the platform and new proprietary content is developed in-house. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, amortization costs increased by 23% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020 mainly as a result of relocating the majority of Anghami’s engineering staff to Abu Dhabi resulting in higher cost of application development thus higher amortization cost.

Online and other costs

Online and other costs increased by $4,929 or 3% during the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to 2019. This mainly includes the software subscriptions cost utilized by the engineering team. Online and other costs increased in the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020 as a result of scaling up new features such as live radio and live concerts.

For the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to 2019, the gross profit has decreased by $1.7 million or 18% and the gross margin has decreased from 32% to 27%. The decrease in gross profit in 2020 was mainly caused by the $0.7 million decrease in total revenue as compared to 2019 and the increase in content acquisition and royalty cost, publishing rights and the amortization of intangibles as explained above.

The decrease in gross margin was driven by the change in revenue mix during the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the revenue from Premium subscriptions and the revenue from advertisement constituted 81% and 19% respectively, compared to 74% and 26% in 2019. The decreased proportion of in the revenue from advertisements out from the total revenue has negatively impacted the gross margin since the revenue from advertisement has a higher gross margin compared to revenue from Premium subscriptions.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, gross profit increased by $0.5 million or 13% and gross margin increased from 24% to 25%. The increase in gross profit in the six months ended June 30, 2021 was mainly driven by the $1.5 million increase in the advertising revenues as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020 which has a higher gross margin compared to the Premium subscription revenues.

The advertising revenue gross margin improved from 18% in the six months ended June 30, 2020 to 47% in the six months ended June 30, 2021 driven by the increase in content promotions and music production revenues from $0.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 to $0.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021. The content promotion and music production revenues have a 70% gross margin which helped increased the overall advertising revenue gross margins. In addition, the direct advertisements have increased from zero in the six months ended June 30, 2020 to $0.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 which have a lower agency fee, which contributed to the improvement in the advertising revenue gross margins.

The Premium subscription revenue gross margins have decreased from 26% in the six months ended June 30, 2020 to 18% in the six months ended June 30, 2021, mainly due to the increase in the content and publishing rights costs per premium subscriber.

This mainly relates to the expenses paid to advertising agencies to facilitate the revenue from advertisement. During the year ended December 31, 2020 the advertising expenses decreased by $1.6 million or 41% as compared to 2019. The significant decrease is driven by the 28% decrease in revenue from advertisement during 2020.

Marketing and branding expenses

This mainly relates to the marketing and branding expenses to grow our brand. Marketing and branding expenses decreased by $1.3 million or 31% during the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to 2019. The significant decrease is due to our strategy to preserve cash by cutting our marketing and branding spending and focusing our efforts on retaining our existing user base and converting the Ad-Supported users to Premium subscribers.

Marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were exceptionally low as Anghami management decided to preserve cash and cut on spending. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, marketing spending increased in relation to public relations for the Business Combination transaction and increased growth marketing in key markets like Egypt and UAE as markets began to normalize post COVID-19 pandemic.

After the Business Combination, the marketing spending is expected to increase significantly to achieve the revenue growth targets.

General and administrative expenses mainly consist of employee-related expenses which includes: (1) salaries and other related benefits, (2) employees’ share-based compensation and (3) provision for employee’s severance benefit, which as combined have decreased by $1.13 million or 22% during the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to 2019. The significant drop in employee-related costs is caused by our strategy to cut salaries and reduce employees’ headcount to preserve cash during the COVID-19 economic crisis. After the Business Combination, our employees’ headcount is expected to increase across all the departments but mainly in the sales, machine learning and marketing teams to support revenue growth and development of new application features. The decrease in other general and administrative expenses are related to cost cutting initiatives made during 2020.

Transaction and other costs

During the year ended December 31, 2020, transaction and other costs increased by $128,281 or 591% as compared to 2019. This amount mainly includes the transaction cost on the convertible notes received during 2020.

Fair value movements on convertible notes

Convertible notes from SAMENA Beats Holdings (“Samena”) of $3 million and the first tranche of MEVP convertibles for $1.5 million, respectively, had a valuation cap and were accordingly valued at fair market value. Fair value movements on convertible notes have increased by $0.5 million or 63% during the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to 2019 as the value of the cap option became in the money. MEVP and SAMENA convertible notes matured on April 2, 2021; thus, there was no fair value adjustment on June 30, 2021 resulting in lower fair value adjustment expense in the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Interest on Convertible notes

Tranche 2 of MEVP convertible notes of $650,000 and convertibles from Alkonost Investment Ltd. (“Alkonost”) of $5 million had no valuation cap and accordingly were valued at amortized cost. The increase in interest cost in 2020 is due to receipt of Alkonost convertible in December 2020 and partial receipt of MEVP convertible in May 2020. See Note 21 to the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements. The convertible notes are expected to convert into our ordinary shares upon the consummation of the Business Combination and thus this cost will not continue afterwards.

Table of Contents

Tranche 2 of MEVP convertible notes were settled on two transfers with the first transfer of $150,000 settled on December 30, 2019, and the second transfer of $500,000 on May 21, 2020. Alkonost was transferred on December 7, 2020. Since Alkonost convertible note did not exist in the six months ended June 30, 2020, and as the majority of Tranche 2 MEVP convertible note was received in May 2020, the interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was lower than that of the six months ended June 30, 2021.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to 2019, EBITDA loss decreased by $2.8 million or 71%. This decrease was mainly driven by the increase in Premium subscription revenue and cost cutting measures to preserve cash. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, EBITDA loss increased by $2.2 million or 151% due to increase in consulting and legal fees relating to the Business Combination, in addition to increase in employee-related expenses. For a discussion of the limitations associated with using EBITDA rather than IFRS measures and a reconciliation of EBITDA to net loss, see discussion below and the section entitled “Selected Historical Financial Data of Anghami.”

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

This proxy statement/prospectus includes certain non-IFRS financial measures, such as EBITDA. We present EBITDA, a non-IFRS performance measure, to supplement the financial results presented in accordance with IFRS. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization. We believe EBITDA is useful to investors for evaluating the operating performance against competitors, which commonly disclose similar performance measures. However, our calculation of EBITDA is susceptible to varying calculations and may not be comparable to other similarly titled performance measures of other companies. EBITDA is not intended to be a substitute for any IFRS financial measure. You should not consider EBITDA in isolation, or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported on our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Seasonality in Our Business

Our business exhibits significant seasonality. Historically our fourth quarter is our strongest quarter, driven by large advertising spending from our advertisers during the holiday season. In addition, we face seasonal fluctuations during Ramadan, the Muslim holy month. Ramadan started in April in 2021 but is a floating holiday and shifts by approximately 10 days each year. During Ramadan, our user activities and revenues from Ad-Supported users and Premium subscriptions drop significantly due to general reductions in people’s daily leisure activities. To reduce the impact of Ramadan’s seasonality on our user engagement and revenues, in 2017 we launched a special Ramadan subscription that offers Ramadan-related content to offset the negative impact on our user engagement.

Competition

We still consider piracy to be our main competitor, as the copyright protection laws are still developing in the MENA Region. However, we believe the early stage of regulations on music copyrights represents an opportunity for our growth as we provide a legal and premium experience with higher quality contents than piracy with the option to upgrade for more unique features.

Our other competitors include global streaming services. In 2015, Apple Music launched globally including in the MENA Region, but our number of subscribers kept growing. In 2018, both Spotify and Deezer launched in the MENA Region. In 2019, YouTube Music also expanded to the MENA Region, with the support from various contents from YouTube and the power of Google Search. We believe that the competition can help increase the general awareness to music copyrights, which in turn helps to expand the market and therefore benefits the entire music streaming industry.

200

Table of Contents

There are other non-significant local music streaming platforms with limited reach to Telco users, except a few Telco driven platforms such as Etisalat Music in Egypt. Huawei Music is available preinstalled in Huawei devices but has a relatively small market recognition. Amazon Music is currently not available in the MENA Region.

According to a study published by MiDia research in 2020 about the music revenues in every geographic market, Anghami has 58% market share of the total subscribers in the MENA Region. In a more recent report released by Talkwalker in 2021, Anghami is the third most loved brand in the region and is the only brand out of this region to be listed as Top 10 by Talkwalker.

Market Trends and Future Outlook

As the local economy recovers from the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, we expect Ad-Supported segment revenues to recover driven by a return to advertising spending by leading brands and potentially exceed the Ad-Supported segment revenues in 2019. We expect to continue growing our Premium segment revenues as we increase our investment in marketing. We believe the growth in Premium segment revenues will benefit from our strong brand in the MENA Operating Area and by the continued shift in consumer behavior towards more adoption of streaming services. In addition, we expect the combination of the original Arabic content coupled with our ever-improving music recommendation engine will accelerate this growth. Lastly, we plan to introduce new monetization features including ticket sales to live events, advertisements campaigns and social billing, which is related to the revenue generated from Live Radio and Live Concerts features.

In the short term from 2021 to 2022, we plan to focus on further expanding our market share among the younger generation in our existing geographic markets. In the medium term from 2023 to 2025, we plan to focus on French-speaking North Africa, Iraq and the Arab diaspora, a large population of Arabs who live outside the MENA Region. Combined with our native interface in the French language and our efforts to partner with North African Telcos, as well as our relationship with Iraqi Telcos and a new collaboration with a major internet service provider, or ISP, in 2021 that will expect to generate $2 million in revenue in Iraqi market, we expect to grow in these areas. With over 20 million Arabs living in North America and Europe, Arab diaspora represent a large opportunity to grow our users beyond the MENA Region. We have developed new music streaming products and original content specifically designed for this population, mainly by combining Arabic music with English and French lyrics or tunes. In the longer term, we plan to expand into South Asia, mainly Pakistan. With a population of 220 million people, almost half of the Arab world’s population, Pakistan has similar market dynamics to the MENA Region with a large young population, a significant Telco user base and high mobile phone ownerships. We expect our experiences in the MENA Operating Area could bring us success in Pakistan.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents, short term investments, and cash generated from operations. Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment securities consist mostly of cash on deposit with banks. As of December 31, 2020, our cash and cash equivalents amounted to $5.61 million, an increase from $1.26 million as of December 31, 2019. As of June 30, 2021, our cash and cash equivalents amounted to $0.8 million, a decrease from $1.4 million as of June 30, 2020.

On a pro forma basis, assuming consummation of the Business Combination on or before February 11, 2022 (the deadline after use of the second of two three-month extensions permitted under VMAC’s governing documents), or such later date that may be approved by VMAC’s stockholders, with cash proceeds of $140 million, including $40 million gross proceeds from the PIPE transaction, our cash and cash equivalents are expected to be approximately $100 million higher at closing, which amount will depend on the extent of redemptions by VMAC Stockholders, transaction expenses paid and the cash consideration paid to Anghami shareholders Please see the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information.

We believe our cash and cash equivalent balances following the consummation of the Business Combination, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for a period of 24-30 months from the date hereof. However, long term, the continuation of our activities is dependent on the availability of adequate financial support and the cash flow may not be sufficient to sustain operations. Our future capital requirements also may be materially different than currently planned and depend on many factors. These factors including the proceeds of the Business Combination being less than anticipated due to excessive redemptions or the PIPE Investment being consummated for less than the full committed amount, our rate of revenue growth, the timing and extent of spending on content and research and development, the expansion of our sales and marketing activities, competitive factors, and overall economic conditions, globally.

201

Table of Contents

To the extent that current and anticipated future sources of liquidity are insufficient to fund our future business activities and requirements, we may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. The sale of additional equity would result in additional dilution to our shareholders, while the incurrence of debt financing or additional convertible debt would result in debt service obligations. Such debt instruments also could introduce covenants that might restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that we could obtain additional financing on favorable terms or at all. See the section entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Anghami’s Business and Industry — Anghami may require additional capital to support business growth and objectives, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

Operating Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2020, cash flows from operating activities were $171,157, primarily resulting from our optimizations in working cost and capital during the year to preserve cash.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, we used cash in operating activities of $0.9 million, primarily resulting from slower receivables collections during the period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, Anghami used $4.1 million mainly due to higher legal and consultancy expenses in relation to the Business Combination and increase in employee-related expenses.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, cash flows generated from operating activities were $0.4 million mainly due to optimizations in cost and working capital to preserve cash.

Investing Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we used cash in investing activities of $0.9 million and $1 million, respectively, consisting primarily of the capitalized portion of engineering salary and costs related to new song creations. The cash used in 2020 was slightly lower due to the reduced engineering headcount and salary cuts implemented in 2020 in relation to cost saving initiatives.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we used cash in investing activities of $0.69 million and $0.5 million, respectively, consisting primarily of the capitalized portion of engineering salary and costs related to new music production, with 2021 being higher due to the increase in engineering headcount and salaries.

Table of Contents

Financing Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, cash flows from financing activities were $5.3 million and $2.4 million, respectively, consisting of the capital raised through convertible notes from MEVP, Samena, and Alkonost.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow represents the total sum of EBITDA and change in working capital less capital expenditures. The improvement in free cash flow during the year ended December 31, 2020 is driven by the improvement in operations, which includes an improved efficiency in expenditures and the optimization of working capital. Subsequently, during the six months ended June 30, 2021, free cash flow decreased primarily as a result of decrease in EBITDA due to incurring higher legal and consultancy fees related to the Business Combination.

Debt

Our principal debts are comprised of trade accounts payables, bank overdraft, convertible notes and operating lease obligations.

Anghami entered into a convertible note agreement, dated October 3, 2018, with MEVP, pursuant to which MEVP granted Anghami a convertible note amounting to $1,500,000, maturing on April 2, 2020, and subject to an interest rate of 8% per annum. Pursuant to an amended and restated convertible note agreement, dated September 24, 2020, the note was extended until April 2, 2021, subject to an interest rate of 9% per annum.

MEVP has most favored nation rights in which it can match the terms of subsequent notes in case the terms were more favorable. As a result, MEVP loan will be subject to 12% interest similar to Alkonost raised in December 2020. On August 31, 2021 this convertible note has been extended to May 31, 2022 to match Alkonost convertible note.

The convertible loan agreements include certain affirmative covenants, including the delivery of audited consolidated financial statements to the debtholders. We intend to use the capital raised from the 2020 convertible note to fund our operations and growth.

All the outstanding convertible notes will be converted into Anghami shares upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

On August 5, 2021, Anghami entered into a working capital loan agreement whereby it raised $ 3.5 million from SHUAA Capital and $1 million from MEVP with a maturity of twelve months. Anghami had the right to settle the loan interest free within the first three months of the term of the loan. After three months, interest will be accrued from the beginning at a 12% interest rate and principal plus outstanding interest will be settled in cash. At or prior to maturity, and in case of an equity round, the lenders have the right either to get paid all the outstanding balance or convert the outstanding balance plus interest at 25% discount of the valuation set in the equity round. At maturity and in case of absence of an equity round, the lenders have the right either to get paid all the outstanding balance or convert the outstanding balance plus interest at 25% discount of fair market value at the date of maturity.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

As of June 30, 2021, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market prices are comprised of four types of risk: foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, commodity price risk and equity price risk. The main risks for us are foreign currency risk and interest rate risk. We do not currently have significant commodity risk or equity price risk. To manage these risks and our exposure to the unpredictability of financial markets, we seek to minimize potential adverse effects on our financial performance and capital.

Foreign Currency Risk

Currency risk arises from the possibility that changes in exchange rates will affect the values of the financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar in case we do not hedge the currency exposure by hedging instruments. The functional currency of Anghami is U.S. dollars. We are exposed to foreign currency fluctuations on our transactions in foreign currencies, mainly in Egyptian and Lebanese pounds. As the UAE dirham and Saudi riyal are pegged to the U.S. dollar, balances in these currencies are not considered to represent significant currency risk. Our principle foreign currency risk arises from Egyptian and Lebanese pounds denominated transaction of which the balance was $1,749,641 during the year ended December 31, 2020.

Portions of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are denominated in Egyptian and Lebanese pounds. Accordingly, we are exposed to fluctuations in the Egyptian and Lebanese pounds exchange rates. The following table sets forth the net foreign exchange loss for 2020 and 2019. The effect of a 5% increase or decrease in U.S. dollars rate against the Egyptian and Lebanese pounds on the loss before tax is estimated to be $87,482.

Foreign exchange loss has increased by $961,036 or 580% during the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to 2019. The major increase is due to the recognition of foreign exchange loss on the net position of outstanding assets and liabilities with Lebanese counterparties. Since the last quarter of 2019, Lebanon has faced severe economic crises resulting in a significant deterioration in the Lebanese pounds exchange rate against the U.S. dollars.

206

Table of Contents

In the year ended December 31, 2020 the monetary assets and liabilities in Lebanese pounds and the related foreign exchange losses, were reflected in the financial statements at exchange rate of 8,286.42 LBP / U.S Dollar, which is the market rate sourced from a reputable independent source. We recognised a net foreign currency loss of $422,022 during the year ended December 31, 2020 against trade and other receivables, contract assets, trade and other payables and cash and bank balances. Additional provisions of $404,339 were booked for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Future losses are expected to be incurred in case of further depreciation of the Lebanese pound against the U.S. dollar.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in market interest rates will affect the fair value of convertible notes. The fair value of our convertible notes was dependent on market interest rates, which could negatively impact earnings. The convertible notes were remeasured at each reporting date using valuation models using input data, which could include market interest rates. Changes in the fair value of the convertible notes were recognized in finance income or cost in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Prior to this offering, Anghami was a private company with limited accounting personnel and limited resources with which to address internal controls over financial reporting. As a result, Anghami did not design or maintain effective internal controls and financial reporting policies and procedures.

In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, we and our independent registered public accounting firm, identified the following material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting:

•        Lack of sufficient skilled personnel with requisite IFRS reporting knowledge and experience;

•        Lack of sufficient entity level controls and sufficiently designed internal controls and financial reporting policies and procedures including segregation of duties that are commensurate with IFRS reporting requirements; and

•        Lack of sufficient effective controls over prospective financial information used in Anghami’s going concern assessment.

We were not required to perform an evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019 or December 31, 2020 in accordance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as Anghami was a private company. Therefore, we cannot assure you that we have identified all of our existing material weaknesses, or that we will not have additional material weaknesses in the future.

Management understands that effective internal controls over financial reporting and adequate policies and procedures are necessary to provide reliable financial reports on a timely basis. As such, Anghami will implement several measures to address the material weaknesses including:

•        hiring internal personnel and external advisors with relevant public reporting experience;

•        conducting training for our personnel in IFRS reporting requirements;

•        designing, implementing and evaluating the controls covering financial reporting;

•        implementing controls over budgeting with emphasis over regular testing of actual versus budgeted amounts; and

•        implementing a new ERP system to automate and strengthen the IT control environment.

We are working to remediate the material weaknesses as quickly and efficiently as possible. In this regard, we will dedicate internal resources, recruit personnel with public reporting experience, engage outside consultants as required and adopt a detailed framework to assess and document the adequacy of our internal controls. Implementing these remedial measures will require substantial investment in time and resources, including the involvement of members of Pubco’s and Anghami’s senior management which may divert internal resources and take a significant

207

Table of Contents

amount of time and effort to complete. Also, implementing these remedial measures will include validating whether the newly applied controls are performing as designed. We added two U.S. CPAs to our staff to handle reporting and financial controls. In addition, the Company has initiated the implementation of Oracle Netsuite for accounting and reporting.

Corporate Social Responsibility Strategy

Giving back to our community is one of our core corporate values. We led or participated in various charitable events, supported the local community and impacted the local people positively. Among our community giving initiatives are the following highlights.

Zikrayat Campaign

We conducted a campaign to help Alzheimer’s patients relive their memories through music therapy, in partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association in Lebanon. Our team created a selection of playlists that dated back to the 1940s where the most famous songs from certain decades would play after entering the patient’s year of birth.

Donation for Beirut

After the explosion that hit the Lebanese capital city on August 4, 2020, our team volunteered with the Lebanese Red Cross and several non-governmental organizations, or NGOs, on the ground to support families in need. We also created a landing page on our platform to donate to the NGOs of their choice and contributed in helping the victims of the Beirut explosion.

The Sound of Beirut

A month after the Beirut explosion on August 4, 2020, we hosted the biggest fundraiser concert of the time to support the rebuilding of Beirut where our platform hosted more than 30 artists and celebrities from all over the world. In partnership with the United Nations World Food Program, the fundraiser featured top international artists such as Bebe Rexha, Ali Gatie, Alan Walker, Massari and many more. On the regional level, artists like Mohamad Hamaki, Ragheb Alama, Balqees, Latifa, Maya Diab, Joseph Attieh, Hatim Ammor and many others performed during the fundraiser. We were able to raise around $1 million in donations from this event.

Wash’em Like A Star

In an attempt to bring more awareness over hand hygiene and COVID-19 prevention, our team invented a creative use of our lyrics database and allowed the users to generate the hand washing poster based on their favorite song lyrics. Famous artists and celebrities engaged with this initiative and created their own lyrics posters to further raise awareness about the importance of hygiene during the early days of the pandemic.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. Preparing these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience (except certain items measured at fair value or present value) and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results may differ from these estimates.

The full details of our accounting policies are presented in Note 3 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 as included in this proxy statement/prospectus. These policies are considered by management to be essential to understanding the processes and reasoning that go into the preparation of our financial statements and the uncertainties that could have a bearing on our financial results. The significant accounting policies that we believe to be most critical in fully understanding and evaluating our financial results are described below.

Table of Contents

Revenue recognition

Subscription revenue

We generate subscription revenue from the sale of the Premium service. Premium services are sold directly to end users and through Telco partners that bundle the subscription with their own services or collect payment for the stand-alone subscriptions from their end customers. We satisfy our performance obligation, and revenue from these services is recognized, on a straight-line basis over the subscription period. Premium services are paid in advance.

Premium Telco partner subscription revenue is based on a per-subscriber rate in a negotiated Telco partner agreement. Under these arrangements, a premium Telco partner may bundle the premium service with its existing product offerings or offer the premium service as an add-on to their services. Payment is remitted to the Anghami group through the premium Telco partner. The Anghami group assesses the facts and circumstances, including whether the partner is acting as a principal or agent, of all partner revenue arrangements and then recognizes revenues either gross or net. Premium Telco partner services, whether recognized gross or net, have one material performance obligation, that being the delivery of the premium service. The service provided by the premium Telco partners is to act as a payment gateway to collect the subscription fees and transfer it to the Anghami group against receiving a fee calculated as a percentage of revenue collected. The Anghami group has assessed each of its premium Telco partner subscription revenue agreements and concluded that revenue should be recognized on a gross basis as the Anghami group controls the music streaming service provided to the premium users and remains responsible to deliver the music streaming services at the agreed quality during the full subscription period; in addition, the Anghami group has full discretion in determining the price of the music streaming services offered. The fees paid to the premium partner against the services provided by them is recognized as part of cost of revenue in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Additionally, the Anghami group sells premium subscriptions to third party service providers who bundle the purchased premium subscriptions with other services and products they deliver to their end-users. Under this product, the third-party service providers are the Anghami group’s customers and not their end-users. The Anghami group’s only material performance obligation is the delivery of the music streaming service. The third-party service providers do not provide any services to the Anghami group. The Anghami group recognizes the revenue received from such third-party service providers over the sold premium subscriptions validity period.

Ad-Supported revenue

The Anghami group’s advertising revenue is primarily generated through display, audio, and video advertising delivered through advertising impressions. The Anghami group’s advertising revenue is generated through:

(1)     Agency Sales Channel: the Anghami group entered into an arrangement with an advertising agency that sells ads campaigns to global and regional brands. These advertising arrangements are typically sold on a cost-per-thousand basis and are evidenced by an Insertion Order (“IO”) that specifies the terms of the arrangement such as the type of ad product, pricing, insertion dates, and number of impressions in a stated period. The advertising agency promotes the Anghami group’s advertising products based on a pre-agreed sales commission based on generated revenue. The Anghami group sets the pricing schedule for ads impressions and approves the ads before their display on the Anghami platform and remains responsible to deliver the advertising products to the advertising client. Advertising clients and advertising agency send for the Anghami group’s approval the advertisement to be displayed on the Anghami platform and the IOs that specify the number of ads impressions, campaigns periods, and the agreed service fees.

(2)    Direct Sales Channel: the Anghami group works directly with advertising clients. The Anghami group’s sales team identifies and manages these advertising clients and approves their advertising campaigns sent via IOs which acts as a contract between the Anghami group and the advertising clients.

(3)    Programmatic Advertising Channel: the Anghami group generates Ad-Supported revenue through arrangements with certain advertising exchange platforms to distribute advertising inventory for purchase on a cost-per-thousand basis through their automated exchange. The Anghami group has control over which ads to be displayed on it’s the Anghami platform, volumes and selection criteria.

Revenue is recognized over time based on the number of impressions delivered.

209

Table of Contents

Content cost

We incur royalty costs for the right to stream music to our users, paid to certain music record labels and other rights holders. Label and publishing costs are typically calculated using negotiated rates in accordance with license agreements and are based on either subscription and advertising revenue earned, user/usage measures, or a combination of these.

The determination of the amount of the rights holders’ liability is complex and subject to a number of variables, including the revenue recognized, the type of content streamed and the country in which it is streamed, the product tier such content is streamed on, identification of the appropriate license holder, size of user base, ratio of Ad-Supported users to Premium subscribers, and any applicable advertising fees and discounts, among other variables. Some rights holders have allowed the use of their content on the platform while negotiations of the terms and conditions are ongoing. In such situations, label and publishing costs are calculated using estimated rates. In certain jurisdictions, rights holders have several years to claim royalties for musical compositions and therefore estimates of the label and publishing payables are made until payments are made.

We have certain arrangements whereby label and publishing costs are paid in advance or are subject to minimum guaranteed amounts. An accrual is established when actual label and publishing costs to be incurred during a contractual period are expected to fall short of the minimum guaranteed amounts. An accrual and expense are recognized when it is probable that we will make additional label and publishing payments under these terms. The expense related to these accruals is recognized in cost of revenue.

Share-based payments

General employee share-based payment plan

Our employees receive remuneration in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees render services in consideration for equity instruments.

The fair value of the share is estimated on the grant date using a revenue multiple approaches or by reference to a market transaction and taking into account the terms and conditions on which the shares were granted. The model simulates the revenue multiple and compares it against the group of principal competitors or comparable companies, whilst applying an appropriate liquidity discount.

We will continue to evaluate the appropriateness of the forfeiture rate based on actual forfeiture experience, analysis of employee turnover, and other factors. Changes in the estimated forfeiture rate can have a significant impact on our stock-based compensation expense as the cumulative effect of adjusting the rate is recognized in the period the forfeiture estimate is changed. A higher revised forfeiture rate than previously estimated will result in an adjustment that will decrease the stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. A lower revised forfeiture rate than previously estimated will result in an adjustment that will increase the stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Share based payment to service provider

Our valuation of stock option requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the fair value of our underlying ordinary shares, risk-free interest rates, expected volatility of the price of our ordinary share and the expected dividend yield of our ordinary shares. The assumptions used in our stock option-pricing model represent management’s best estimates. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. If factors change and different assumptions are used, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. These assumptions and estimates are as follows:

(1)    Fair value of our ordinary shares. Revenue multiple based on comparable of publicly traded streaming businesses at the prevailing dates;

(2)    Risk-free interest rate. We base the risk-free interest rate on the yields of U.S. treasury bond with maturities approximately equal to the term of employee stock option awards, as the exercise price is based on a fixed U.S. dollar amount;

210

Table of Contents

(3)    Expected volatility. As we do not have a public market trading history for our ordinary shares, the expected volatility for our ordinary shares was estimated based on the historical volatility of public companies that are deemed to be comparable to us over the expected term of the award; and

(4)    Dividend yield. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the near future and therefore use an expected dividend yield of zero in the option valuation model.

We will continue to use judgment in evaluating the assumptions related to our stock-based compensation on a prospective basis. As we continue to accumulate additional data related to our ordinary shares, we may have refinements to our estimates, which could materially impact our future stock-based compensation expense.

Convertible Notes

Our convertible notes are recognized initially at fair value of the consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, the convertible notes are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method or fair value through profit or loss. The effective interest method amortization is included in finance costs and fair value changes are included in the finance costs or finance income in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Certain convertible notes include embedded derivatives designated at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently remeasured at fair value. At December 31, 2020, the convertible notes designated at fair value through profit or loss were valued at the assumed exchange to ordinary shares based on the fair value of our ordinary share price. The key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the convertible notes are:

(1)    Fair value of our ordinary shares. Revenue multiple based on comparable of publicly traded streaming businesses at the prevailing dates;

(2)    Liquidity discount rate. No liquidity discounted was assumed in the year ended December 31, 2020 as Anghami was intending to consummate the Business Combination; and

(3)    Market interest rate. We base the risk-free interest rate on the yields of UAE risk where our headquarter is located, plus a credit default spread for a company with similar risk profile to Anghami.

All the convertible notes will be converted into Anghami shares upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

See Note 21 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus for additional information on the valuation models used in for our convertible notes.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

The consolidated financial statements provide comparative information in respect of the previous periods. On January 1, 2019, we adopted IFRS 16, Leases, using the modified retrospective approach. See Note 3 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 as included in this proxy statement/prospectus for further information on comparability following the adoption.

INFORMATION ABOUT VMAC

References in this section to “we”, “our”, “us”, the “Company”, or “VMAC” generally refer to VMAC.

Overview

VMAC is a blank check company formed in Delaware on March 27, 2020, for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, without limitation as to business, industry or sector. VMAC intends to capitalize on the ability of VMAC’s management team to identify, acquire, and operate a business in the technology and technology-enabled services sectors that may provide opportunities for attractive long-term risk-adjusted returns, though VMAC reserves the right to pursue an acquisition opportunity in any business or industry.

VMAC’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-239819), or VMAC’s registration statement, for VMAC’s IPO was declared effective by the SEC on August 6, 2020. On August 11, 2020, VMAC consummated its IPO of 10,000,000 VMAC Units. Each VMAC Unit consists of one share of VMAC Class A Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and one “Public Warrant”, with each whole warrant entitling the holder to purchase one share of VMAC Class A Common Stock at $11.50 per share. The VMAC Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per VMAC Unit, generating gross proceeds of $100,000,000. Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO and the sale of the VMAC Units, VMAC consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 295,000 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per unit and 500,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of $3.45 million. In addition, VMAC issued 35,000 Representative Shares, at a price of $0.01 per share, and 500,000 Representative Warrants to I-Bankers (and/or its designees) in a private placement simultaneously with the closing of the IPO.

A total of $100,000,000 of the net proceeds from VMAC’s IPO and the private placement with the Initial Stockholders were deposited in the Trust Account established for the benefit of the Public Stockholders.

VMAC’s units began trading on August 7, 2020 on the Nasdaq under the symbol VMACU. Commencing on August 21, 2020, the securities comprising the units began separate trading. The units, class A common stock, and warrants are trading on Nasdaq under the symbols “VMACU,” “VMAC” and “VMACW,” respectively.

Initial Business Combination

VMAC’s initial business combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial business combination. If VMAC’s board of directors is not able to independently determine the fair market value of the target business or businesses, VMAC will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. with respect to the satisfaction of such criteria.

Financial Position

As of November 18, 2021, VMAC had funds available for a business combination in the amount of approximately $102,074,080.46, after payment of $[_] of marketing fees and before fees and expenses associated with its initial business combination. With these funds VMAC can offer a target business a variety of options such as creating a liquidity event for its owners, providing capital for the potential growth and expansion of its operations or strengthening its balance sheet by reducing its debt or leverage ratio. Because VMAC is able to complete its business combination using its cash, debt or equity securities, or a combination of the foregoing, VMAC has the flexibility to use the most efficient combination that will allow VMAC to tailor the consideration to be paid to the target business to fit its needs and desires. However, there can be no assurance that third party financing will be available to VMAC.

Permitted Purchases of VMAC’s Securities

The Sponsor and VMAC’s directors, officers and advisors, or their affiliates, may purchase shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market prior to the completion of the Business Combination. They will not make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public

214

Table of Contents

information not disclosed to the seller or if such purchases are prohibited by Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such stockholder, although still the record holder of VMAC’s shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that the Sponsor or VMAC’s directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from Public Stockholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling stockholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. VMAC does not currently anticipate that such purchases, if any, would constitute a tender offer subject to the tender offer rules under the Exchange Act or a going-private transaction subject to the going-private rules under the Exchange Act; however, if the purchasers determine at the time of any such purchases that the purchases are subject to such rules, the purchasers will comply with such rules.

The purpose of such purchases would be to (i) vote such shares in favor of the Business Combination and thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the Business Combination or (ii) satisfy a closing condition in the Business Combination Agreement that requires VMAC to have a certain amount of cash at the Closing, where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met. This may result in the completion of the Business Combination where it may not otherwise have been possible.

In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of VMAC Class A Common Stock and the number of beneficial holders of VMAC’s securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult for Pubco to obtain the quotation, listing or trading of its securities on a national securities exchange.

The Sponsor, VMAC’s officers and directors and/or their affiliates anticipate that they may identify the stockholders with whom the Sponsor, VMAC’s officers and directors or their affiliates may pursue privately negotiated purchases by either the stockholders contacting VMAC directly or by VMAC’s receipt of redemption requests submitted by stockholders following VMAC’s mailing of proxy materials in connection with the Business Combination. To the extent that the Sponsor, VMAC’s officers, directors and advisors or their affiliates enter into a private purchase, they would identify and contact only potential selling stockholders who have expressed their election to redeem their shares for a pro rata share of the Trust Account or vote against the Business Combination.

Redemption Rights for Holders of Public Shares

VMAC will provide its Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock upon the completion of the Business Combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to VMAC to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations described herein. As of September 21, 2021, the amount in the Trust Account was approximately $101,071,849.66, which is equal to approximately $10.107 per Public Share. The per-share amount VMAC will distribute to stockholders who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions VMAC will pay to the underwriters. VMAC’s Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with VMAC, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any VMAC Class B Common Stock and any public shares held by them in connection with the completion of VMAC’s business combination.

Limitation on Redemption Rights

VMAC’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the shares sold in VMAC’s IPO. VMAC believes this restriction will discourage stockholders from accumulating large blocks of shares, and subsequent attempts by such holders to use their ability to exercise their redemption rights against a proposed business combination as a means to force VMAC or VMAC’s management to purchase their shares at a significant premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. Absent this provision, a Public Stockholder holding more than an aggregate of 20% of the shares sold in VMAC’s IPO could threaten to exercise its redemption rights if such stockholder’s shares are not purchased by VMAC or VMAC’s management at a premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. By limiting VMAC’s stockholders’ ability to redeem no more than 20% of the shares sold in VMAC’s IPO, VMAC

215

Table of Contents

believes it will limit the ability of a small group of stockholders to unreasonably attempt to block VMAC’s ability to complete its business combination, particularly in connection with a business combination with a target that requires as a closing condition that VMAC have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash. However, VMAC would not be restricting its stockholders’ ability to vote all of their shares (including Excess Shares) for or against VMAC’s business combination.

Redemption of Public Shares and Liquidation if No Business Combination

The Sponsor and VMAC’s officers and directors have agreed that VMAC must complete its initial business combination by February 11, 2022 (or such later date that may be approved by VMAC’s stockholders). VMAC may not be able to complete its initial business combination within this time period. If VMAC has not completed its initial business combination within this time period, or amended the VMAC Charter to extend the date by which VMAC must consummate an initial business combination, VMAC will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to VMAC to pay its franchise and income taxes (less $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of VMAC’s remaining stockholders and VMAC’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to VMAC’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such case, the Public Stockholders may only receive $10.00 per share, and VMAC’s warrants will expire worthless. In certain circumstances, the Public Stockholders may receive less than $10.00 per share on the redemption of their shares.

The Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their VMAC Class B Common Stock if VMAC fails to complete its initial business combination by February 11, 2022 (or such later date that may be approved by VMAC’s stockholders). However, if the Initial Stockholders acquire Public Shares in or after VMAC’s IPO, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if VMAC fails to complete its initial business combination by February 11, 2022 (or such later date that may be approved by VMAC’s stockholders).

VMAC’s Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed, pursuant to a letter agreement with VMAC, that they will not propose any amendment to the VMAC Charter that would modify the substance or timing of VMAC’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if VMAC does not complete its initial business combination by February 11, 2022, unless VMAC provides its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to VMAC to pay its franchise and income taxes divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares. However, VMAC may not redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 upon completion of its initial business combination (so that VMAC is not subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules). If this optional redemption right is exercised with respect to an excessive number of Public Shares such that VMAC cannot satisfy the net tangible asset requirement (described above) VMAC would not proceed with the amendment or the related redemption of its Public Shares.

VMAC expects to use the amounts held outside the Trust Account to pay for all costs and expenses associated with implementing its plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, although VMAC cannot assure you that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose. However, if those funds are not sufficient to cover the costs and expenses associated with implementing VMAC’s plan of dissolution, to the extent that there is any interest accrued in the Trust Account not required to pay franchise and income taxes on interest income earned on the Trust Account balance, VMAC may request the trustee to release to VMAC an additional amount of up to $100,000 of such accrued interest to pay those costs and expenses.

If VMAC were to expend all of the net proceeds of its IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units and Private Placement Warrants, other than the proceeds deposited in the Trust Account, and without taking into account interest, if any, earned on the Trust Account, the per-share redemption amount received by stockholders upon VMAC’s dissolution would be approximately $10.00. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however,

216

Table of Contents

become subject to the claims of VMAC’s creditors which would have higher priority than the claims of its Public Stockholders. VMAC cannot assure you that the actual per-share redemption amount received by stockholders will not be substantially less than $10.00. Under Section 281(b) of the DGCL, VMAC’s plan of dissolution must provide for all claims against it to be paid in full or make provision for payments to be made in full, as applicable, if there are sufficient assets. These claims must be paid or provided for before VMAC makes any distribution of its remaining assets to its stockholders. While VMAC intends to pay such amounts, if any, VMAC cannot assure you that it will have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors’ claims.

Although VMAC will seek to have all vendors, service providers (other than its independent auditors), prospective target businesses or other entities with which VMAC does business execute agreements with VMAC waiving any right, title, interest and claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of its public stockholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account including but not limited to fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage with respect to a claim against VMAC’s assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, VMAC’s management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will only enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver if management believes that such third party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to VMAC than any alternative. Examples of possible instances where VMAC may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third-party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver.

In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with VMAC and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. VMAC’s Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to VMAC if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to VMAC, or a prospective target business with which VMAC has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.00 per Public Share or (ii) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under VMAC’s indemnity of the underwriters of its IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, then VMAC’s Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. VMAC has not independently verified whether its Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of VMAC. VMAC has not asked its Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations. Therefore, VMAC cannot assure you that its Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available for VMAC’s initial business combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.00 per Public Share. In such event, VMAC may not be able to complete its initial business combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of your Public Shares. None of VMAC’s officers will indemnify it for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below (i) $10.00 per Public Share or (ii) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, and VMAC’s Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its indemnification obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, VMAC’s independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against its Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While VMAC currently expects that its independent directors would take legal action on VMAC’s behalf against its Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to VMAC, it is possible that VMAC’s independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so if, for example, the cost of such legal action is deemed by the independent directors to be too high relative to the amount recoverable or if the independent directors determine that a favorable outcome is not likely. VMAC has not asked its Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations and VMAC

217

Table of Contents

cannot assure you that its Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. Accordingly, VMAC cannot assure you that due to claims of creditors the actual value of the per-share redemption price will not be less than $10.00 per Public Share.

VMAC will seek to reduce the possibility that its Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which VMAC does business execute agreements with VMAC waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. VMAC’s Sponsor will also not be liable as to any claims under VMAC’s indemnity of the underwriters of its IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. VMAC may have access to amounts held outside of the Trust Account ($709,879 as of December 31, 2020) to pay any such potential claims but these amounts may be spent on expenses incurred as a result of being a public company or due diligence expenses on prospective business combination candidates. In the event that VMAC liquidates and it is subsequently determined that the reserve for claims and liabilities is insufficient, stockholders who received funds from the Trust Account could be liable for claims made by creditors.

Under the DGCL, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. The pro rata portion of the Trust Account distributed to the Public Stockholders upon the redemption of the Public Shares in the event VMAC does not complete its business combination, by February 11, 2022, or such later date that may be approved by VMAC’s stockholders, may be considered a liquidating distribution under Delaware law. If the corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution.

Furthermore, if the pro rata portion of the Trust Account distributed to its Public Stockholders upon the redemption of the Public Shares in the event VMAC does not complete its business combination by February 11, 2022, or such later date that may be approved by VMAC’s stockholders, is not considered a liquidating distribution under Delaware law and such redemption distribution is deemed to be unlawful, then pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, the statute of limitations for claims of creditors could then be six years after the unlawful redemption distribution, instead of three years, as in the case of a liquidating distribution. If VMAC is unable to complete its business combination by February 11, 2022, or such later date that may be approved by VMAC’s stockholders, VMAC will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to VMAC to pay its franchise and income taxes (less $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of VMAC’s remaining stockholders and VMAC’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to VMAC’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Accordingly, it is VMAC’s intention to redeem its Public Shares as soon as reasonably possible following February 11, 2021 or such later date that may be approved by VMAC’s stockholders, and, therefore, VMAC does not intend to comply with those procedures. As such, VMAC’s stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of VMAC’s stockholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of such date.

Because VMAC will not be complying with Section 280, Section 281(b) of the DGCL requires VMAC to adopt a plan, based on facts known to it at such time that will provide for VMAC’s payment of all existing and pending claims or claims that may be potentially brought against it within the subsequent 10 years. However, because VMAC is a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and its operations will be limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from VMAC’s vendors (such as lawyers, investment bankers, etc.) or prospective target businesses. As described above, pursuant to the obligation contained in VMAC’s underwriting agreement, VMAC will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective

218

Table of Contents

target businesses or other entities with which VMAC does business execute agreements with it waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account. As a result of this obligation, the claims that could be made against VMAC are significantly limited and the likelihood that any claim that would result in any liability extending to the Trust Account is remote. Further, VMAC’s Sponsor may be liable only to the extent necessary to ensure that the amounts in the Trust Account are not reduced below (i) $10.00 per Public Share or (ii) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount of interest withdrawn to pay taxes and will not be liable as to any claims under VMAC’s indemnity of the underwriters of its IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, VMAC’s Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims.

If VMAC files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against it that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in VMAC’s bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of its stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, VMAC cannot assure you it will be able to return $10.00 per share to the Public Stockholders. Additionally, if VMAC files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against it that is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by VMAC’s stockholders. Furthermore, VMAC’s board of directors may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to VMAC’s creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, thereby exposing itself and VMAC to claims of punitive damages, by paying public stockholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. VMAC cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against it for these reasons.

The Public Stockholders will be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only (i) in the event of the redemption of the Public Shares if VMAC does not complete its business combination by February 11, 2022, subject to applicable law, (ii) in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the VMAC Charter to modify the substance or timing of its obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if VMAC has not consummated an initial business combination by February 11, 2022 or (iii) VMAC’s completion of an initial business combination, and then only in connection with those shares of VMAC Common Stock that such stockholder properly elected to redeem, subject to the limitations described in this proxy statement/prospectus. In no other circumstances will a stockholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the Trust Account. In the event VMAC seeks stockholder approval in connection with its initial business combination, a stockholder’s voting in connection with the Business Combination alone will not result in a stockholder’s redeeming its shares to VMAC for an applicable pro rata share of the Trust Account. Such stockholder must have also exercised its redemption rights as described above.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, VMAC may become involved in actions, claims, suits, and other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business.

Employees

VMAC currently has two executive officers. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to VMAC’s matters and intend to devote only as much time as they deem necessary to VMAC’s affairs. The amount of time they will devote in any time period will vary. VMAC presently expects its executive officers to devote such amount of time as they reasonably believe is necessary to VMAC’s business. VMAC does not intend to have any employees prior to the consummation of a business combination.

Number and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors

VMAC has seven directors. VMAC’s board of directors is divided into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class (except for those directors appointed prior to its first annual meeting of stockholders) serving a three-year term. The term of office of the first class of directors, consisting of Messrs. Singh, Waisbren and Somani, will expire at the first annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the second class of directors, consisting of Messrs. Gupta and Iyeki, will expire at the second annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the third class of directors, consisting of Mr. Cherian and Dr. Baks, will expire at the third annual meeting of stockholders. Subject to any other special rights applicable to the stockholders, any vacancies on our board of directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present and voting at the meeting of our board of directors that includes any directors representing our sponsor then on our board of directors.

VMAC’s officers are appointed by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors, rather than for specific terms of office. Our board of directors is authorized to appoint persons to the offices set forth in our bylaws as it deems appropriate. Our bylaws provide that our officers shall be a Chief Executive Officer, a Chief Financial Officer and a Secretary, and may also consist of a Chairman of the Board, Presidents, Vice Presidents, Assistant Secretaries and a Treasurer, and such other offices as may be determined by the board of director.

Director Independence

Nasdaq listing standards require that a majority of our board of directors be independent. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship which in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our board of directors has determined that Messrs. Iyeki, Waisbren and Somani and Dr. Baks are “independent directors” as defined in the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules. Our audit committee is entirely composed of independent directors meeting Nasdaq’s additional requirements applicable to members of the audit committee. Our independent directors have scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

Officer and Director Compensation

None of VMAC’s officers has received any cash compensation for services rendered to VMAC. VMAC pays the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of VMAC’s initial business combination or its liquidation, VMAC will cease paying these monthly fees. No compensation of any kind, including any finder’s fee, reimbursement, consulting fee or monies in respect of any payment of a loan, will be paid by VMAC to its sponsor, officers and directors, or any affiliate of the sponsor or officers, prior to, or in connection with any services rendered in order to effectuate, the consummation of our initial business combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is). However, these individuals are reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Any such payments prior to an initial business combination will be made using funds held outside the trust account. Other than audit committee review of such payments, we do not expect to have any additional controls in place governing our reimbursement payments to our directors and executive officers for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with identifying and consummating an initial business combination.

After the completion of our initial business combination, directors or members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting or management fees from the Combined Company. All of these fees will be fully disclosed to stockholders, to the extent then known, in the tender offer materials or proxy solicitation materials furnished to our stockholders in connection with a proposed initial business combination. We have not established any limit on the amount of such fees that may be paid by the Combined Company to our directors or members of management. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of the proposed initial business combination, because the directors of the post-combination business will be responsible for determining officer and director compensation. Any compensation to be paid to our officers will be determined, or recommended to the board of directors for determination, either by a compensation committee constituted solely by independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors on our board of directors.

We do not intend to take any action to ensure that members of our management team maintain their positions with us after the consummation of our initial business combination, although it is possible that some or all of our officers and directors may negotiate employment or consulting arrangements to remain with us after our initial business combination. We are not party to any agreements with our officers and directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Our board of directors has two standing committees: an audit committee and a compensation committee. Subject to phase-in rules and a limited exception, the rules of Nasdaq and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors, and the rules of Nasdaq require that the compensation committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors.

Audit Committee

We have established an audit committee of the board of directors. The members of our audit committee are Messrs. Iyeki and Waisbren and Dr. Baks. Dr. Baks serves as chairman of the audit committee. Each member of the audit committee is financially literate and our board of directors has determined that Dr. Baks qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules and has accounting or related financial management expertise.

223

Table of Contents

We have adopted an audit committee charter, which details the principal functions of the audit committee, including:

•        meeting with our independent registered accounting firm regarding, among other issues, audits, and adequacy of our accounting and control systems;

•        monitoring the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm;

•        verifying the rotation of the lead (or coordinating) audit partner having primary responsibility for the audit and the audit partner responsible for reviewing the audit as required by law;

•        inquiring and discussing with management our compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

•        pre-approving all audit services and permitted non-audit services to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm, including the fees and terms of the services to be performed;

•        appointing or replacing the independent registered public accounting firm;

•        determining the compensation and oversight of the work of the independent registered public accounting firm (including resolution of disagreements between management and the independent registered public accounting firm regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work;

•        establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or reports which raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies;

•        monitoring compliance on a quarterly basis with the terms of this offering and, if any noncompliance is identified, immediately taking all action necessary to rectify such noncompliance or otherwise causing compliance with the terms of this offering; and

•        reviewing and approving all payments made to our existing stockholders, executive officers or directors and their respective affiliates. Any payments to members of our audit committee will be reviewed and approved by our board of directors, with the interested director or directors abstaining from such review and approval.

Compensation Committee

We have established a compensation committee of the board of directors. The members of our compensation committee are Messrs. Iyeki and Waisbren. We have adopted a compensation committee charter, which details the purpose and responsibility of the compensation committee, including:

•        reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, evaluating our Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our Chief Executive Officer based on such evaluation;

•        reviewing and approving the compensation of all of our other Section 16 executive officers;

•        reviewing our executive compensation policies and plans;

•        implementing and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans;

•        assisting management in complying with our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements;

•        approving all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our officers and employees;

•        producing a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement; and

•        reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors.

Table of Contents

Notwithstanding the foregoing, as indicated above, other than the payment to the Sponsor of $10,000 per month, for up to 18 months, for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support and reimbursement of expenses, no compensation of any kind, including finders, consulting or other similar fees, will be paid to any of our existing stockholders, officers, directors or any of their respective affiliates, prior to, or for any services they render in order to complete the consummation of a business combination.

After the completion of our initial business combination, directors or members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other compensation from the Combined Company. All compensation will be fully disclosed to stockholders, to the extent then known, in the tender offer materials or proxy solicitation materials furnished to our stockholders in connection with a proposed business combination. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time, because the directors of the post-combination business will be responsible for determining executive officer and director compensation. Any compensation to be paid to our officers after the completion of our initial business combination will be determined by a compensation committee constituted solely by independent directors.

The charter also provides that the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser and will be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the compensation committee will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by Nasdaq and the SEC.

Director Nominations

We do not have a standing nominating committee, though we intend to form a corporate governance and nominating committee as and when required to do so by law or Nasdaq rules. In accordance with Rule 5605(e)(2) of the Nasdaq rules, a majority of the independent directors may recommend a director nominee for selection by the board of directors. The board of directors believes that the independent directors can satisfactorily carry out the responsibility of properly selecting or approving director nominees without the formation of a standing nominating committee. The directors who shall participate in the consideration and recommendation of director nominees are Messrs. Iyeki, Waisbren and Somani and Dr. Baks. In accordance with Rule 5605(e)(1)(A) of the Nasdaq rules, all such directors are independent. As there is no standing nominating committee, we do not have a nominating committee charter in place.

The Board of Directors will also consider director candidates recommended for nomination by our stockholders during such times as they are seeking proposed nominees to stand for election at the next annual meeting of stockholders (or, if applicable, a special meeting of stockholders). Our stockholders that wish to nominate a director for election to the board of directors should follow the procedures set forth in our bylaws.

We have not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. In general, in identifying and evaluating nominees for director, the board of directors of considers educational background, diversity of professional experience, knowledge of our business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and the ability to represent the best interests of our stockholders.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees. We have filed our Code of Ethics and our Audit and Compensation Committee charters as exhibits to the registration statement filed in connection with our IPO. You can review these documents by accessing our public filings at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, a copy of the Code of Ethics will be provided without charge upon request from us. We intend to disclose any amendments to or waivers of certain provisions of our Code of Ethics in a Current Report on Form 8-K

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our common stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. These reporting persons are also required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely upon a review of such forms, we believe that during the year ended December 31, 2020 there were no delinquent filers.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

None of our officers or directors have received any compensation for services rendered to us. Our sponsor, officers, directors and their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Our Audit Committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by us to our sponsor, officers, directors or our or any of their respective affiliates.

After the completion of our initial business combination, directors or members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other compensation from the Combined Company. All compensation will be fully disclosed to stockholders, to the extent then known, in the tender offer materials or proxy solicitation materials furnished to our stockholders in connection with a proposed business combination. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time, because the directors of the post-combination business will be responsible for determining executive officer and director compensation. Any compensation to be paid to our officers after the completion of our initial business combination will be determined by a compensation committee constituted solely by independent directors.

We are not party to any agreements with our officers and directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment. The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements may influence our management’s motivation in identifying or selecting a target business, and we do not believe that the ability of our management to remain with us after the consummation of our initial business combination should be a determining factor in our decision to proceed with any potential business combination.

Principal Accountant Fees and Services

The following is a summary of fees paid or to be paid to Prager Metis CPAs, LLC (“Prager”) for services rendered.

Audit Fees. Audit fees consist of fees for professional services rendered for the audit of our year-end financial statements, reviews of our quarterly financial statements and services that are normally provided by our independent registered public accounting firm in connection with statutory and regulatory filings. The aggregate fees billed by Prager for audit fees, inclusive of required filings with the SEC for the period from March 27, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 and of services rendered in connection with our IPO, totaled $69,000.

Audit-Related Fees. Audit-related fees consist of fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to performance of the audit or review of our year-end financial statements and are not reported under “Audit Fees.” These services include attest services that are not required by statute or regulation and consultation concerning financial accounting and reporting standards. During the period from March 27, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, we did not pay Prager any audit-related fees.

Tax Fees. Tax fees consist of fees billed for professional services relating to tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice. During the period from March 27, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, we did not pay Prager any tax fees.

All Other Fees. All other fees consist of fees billed for all other services. During the period from March 27, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, we did not pay Prager any other fees.

Pre-Approval Policy

Our audit committee was formed upon the consummation of our IPO. As a result, the audit committee did not pre-approve all of the foregoing services, although any services rendered prior to the formation of our audit committee were approved by our board of directors. Since the formation of our audit committee, and on a going-forward basis, the audit committee has and will pre-approve all auditing services and permitted non-audit services to be performed for us by our auditors, including the fees and terms thereof (subject to the de minimis exceptions for non-audit services described in the Exchange Act which are approved by the audit committee prior to the completion of the audit).

VMAC MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

References in this section to “we”, “our”, “us”, the “Company”, or “VMAC” generally refer to VMAC.

Overview

VMAC is a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on March 27, 2020 and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. VMAC intends to complete its initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of its IPO and the sales of the Private Placement Units and Private Placement Warrants, VMAC’s capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt. VMAC’s sponsor is Vistas Media Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.

VMAC consummated its IPO on August 11, 2020. On March 3, 2021, VMAC, Anghami, Pubco, Vistas Merger Sub and Anghami Merger Sub entered into the Business Combination Agreement. The terms of the Business Combination Agreement, which contains customary representations and warranties, covenants, closing conditions, termination fee provisions and other terms relating to the mergers and the other transactions contemplated thereby, are summarized below. Capitalized terms used in this section but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Business Combination Agreement.

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, Anghami and VMAC will become direct wholly-owned subsidiaries of Pubco. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, each of the following transactions occurred, or will occur, in the following order:

•        VMAC and Vistas Merger Sub will consummate the Vistas Merger, with VMAC being the surviving company;

•        Anghami and Anghami Merger Sub will consummate the Anghami Merger, with Anghami being the surviving company as a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco;

•        each outstanding share of VMAC Common Stock will be exchanged for one Pubco Ordinary Share;

•        each issued and outstanding warrant of VMAC will cease to represent a right to acquire shares of VMAC Common Stock and will instead represent the right to acquire the same number of Pubco Ordinary Shares, at the same exercise price and on the same terms as in effect immediately prior to the Closing;

•        all Anghami Ordinary Shares will be exchanged for a certain number of Pubco Ordinary Shares, which is the Stock Consideration, as defined and set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, which amount is currently expected to be approximately 14,185,075 (assuming no redemptions), and which may be adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement; and

•        following the Vistas Merger and Anghami Merger, each of VMAC and Anghami will become direct wholly-owned subsidiaries of Pubco.

The Business Combination implies an initial pro-forma enterprise valuation of the combined company of approximately $220 million (assuming $40 million in PIPE proceeds). Upon Closing, Anghami’s shareholders will be entitled to receive either all Stock Consideration or a combination of cash and Stock Consideration with an aggregate value of $180 million.

The Stock Consideration payable to Anghami’s shareholders will be an amount of Pubco Ordinary Shares equal to (a) $180 million in enterprise value minus the cash consideration paid to such shareholders (if any), divided by (b) $10.00.

Anghami shareholders will receive cash consideration only if the available cash (as further described below) exceeds $50,000,000, in which case the cash consideration will be calculated as the lesser of (i)(A) such available cash minus the outstanding indebtedness of Pubco for borrowed money with a maturity date of more than one year as of the Closing multiplied by (B) 0.3, or (ii) the available cash minus such indebtedness referred to in clause (i)(A) above minus $50,000,000. The available cash at Closing will be calculated by (i) adding the amount available to be released from the Company’s trust account, after taking into account redemptions by the Company’s stockholders,

227

Table of Contents

in addition to any cash or cash equivalents of the Company and the net proceeds of private placements of shares of the Company’s common stock to occur immediately prior to the Closing, for which the Company currently has commitments of $40 million, and (ii) subtracting transaction expenses of the Company and Anghami related to the Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the cash consideration payable to Anghami shareholders will be reduced, and shareholders will receive a proportional increase in Stock Consideration at a price of $10.00 per share, by the minimum amount necessary for Pubco to satisfy the “substantiality” test of Treasury Regulation 1.367(a)-3(c)(3)(iii), but if such “substantiality” test cannot be met if the cash consideration is reduced to zero (with the proportional increase in Stock Consideration) then no such reduction in cash consideration will be made.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from March 27, 2020 (inception) through June 30, 2021 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the IPO, described below, and, after our IPO, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We expect to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held after the IPO. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

As a result of the restatement described in Note 2 of the notes to financial statements of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on May 24, 2021 (“10-K/A”), we classify the warrants issued in connection with the IPO as liabilities at their fair value and adjust the warrant instrument to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statement of operations.

Further, as a result of the restatement also described in Note 2 of the notes to the financial statements of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on November 22, 2021 (“10-K/A2”), we determined, effective with the closing of the Company’s Initial Public Offering and shares sold pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment, it had improperly allocated its Class A common stock shares subject to possible redemption between temporary equity and permanent equity. The Company previously determined the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption classified as temporary equity, to be equal to the redemption value of $10.00 per Class A common stock while also taking into consideration a redemption cannot result in net tangible assets being less than $5,000,001. Accordingly, the Company classified a portion of its Class A common stock within permanent equity. Effective with these quarterly financial statements, management determined that the Class A common stock issued during the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment can be redeemed or become redeemable subject to the occurrence of future events considered outside the Company’s control. Therefore, management concluded that temporary equity should include all Class A common stock subject to possible redemption, resulting in the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption being equal to their redemption value. As a result, management has noted a reclassification adjustment related to temporary equity and permanent equity. This resulted in an adjustment to the initial carrying value of the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption with the offset recorded to additional paid-in capital (to the extent available), accumulated deficit and Class A common stock. In connection with the change in presentation for the Class A common stock subject to redemption, the Company also revised its earnings per share calculation to allocate net income (loss) evenly to Class A and Class B common stock. This presentation contemplates a Business Combination as the most likely outcome, in which case, both classes of ordinary shares share pro rata in the income (loss) of the Company. The changes to the earnings per share calculation is considered to be immaterial.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $2,970,289 which includes losses of $2,547,970 due to changes in fair value of warrant liabilities and general administrative expenses of $437,784.

For the period from March 27, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 we had net income of $941,637 which consisted of $1,468,350 gain from change in fair value of warrant liabilities and interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $49,603 and general and administrative expenses of $576,316.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2021, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $100,065,067. We intend to utilize substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less deferred underwriting commissions and income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

For the period from March 27, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, cash used in operating activities was $421,314. Net income of $941,637 includes non-cash income of $1,468,350 due to change in fair value of warrant liabilities and interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $49,603. In addition, changes in operating assets and liabilities used $155,000 of cash from operating activities. As of June 30, 2021, we had $249,095 of cash and cash equivalents.

Prior to the consummation of the IPO, our liquidity needs were satisfied through the receipt of $25,000 from our Sponsor in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares, and the loan proceeds from the promissory note from our Sponsor. The note was fully repaid following the IPO. Subsequent to the consummation of the IPO and Private Placement, our liquidity needs have been satisfied with the proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the initial stockholders or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants identical to the Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender.

Based on the foregoing, our management believes that we will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet our needs through the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the IPO (or 18 months, as applicable). Over this time period, we will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, in connection with our Business Combination, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the balance sheet. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies:

Warrant Liability

We account for the warrants issued in connection with the IPO in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40-15-7D under which the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, we classify the warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjust the warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statement of operations.

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our outstanding common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at December 31, 2020, 8,532,603 shares of common stock subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet.

Net Loss per Share of Common Stock

Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. At December 31, 2020, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into shares of common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the period presented.

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements; Commitments and Contractual Obligations

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2020. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support to the Company. We began incurring these fees on August 11, 2020 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation.

Table of Contents

The underwriters are entitled to marketing fee of $0.275 per Unit, or $2,750,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Following the consummation of our IPO, the net proceeds received into the Trust Account, have been invested in U.S. government treasury bills, notes or bonds with a maturity of 180 days or less or in certain money market funds that invest solely in US treasuries. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.

JOBS Act

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. As such, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the prices of our securities may be more volatile.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following December 31, 2025, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our Class A common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.

CERTAIN VMAC RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

References in this section to “we”, “our”, “us”, the “Company”, or “VMAC” generally refer to VMAC.

Founder Shares

On April 30, 2020, our sponsor purchased an aggregate of 2,875,000 Founder Shares for $25,000, or $0.009 per share. In July 2020, our sponsor transferred 225,000 Founder Shares to PFVI, LLC in exchange for $1,500,000, resulting in our sponsor holding 2,650,000 Founder Shares. Pursuant to an agreement entered into with our sponsor, PFVI, LLC has the right to designate one director for election to our board of directors. PFVI, LLC’s initial director designee is Mr. Somani. Following the expiration of Mr. Somani’s initial term of office, PFVI, LLC will recommend to the board of directors that Mr. Somani (or another designee, at PFVI, LLC’s discretion) be nominated for election at each annual meeting of stockholders at which directors of the class to which Mr. Somani has been assigned are up for election. In the event that PFVI, LLC disagrees with our decision to consummate an initial business combination, it shall have the right to transfer its Founder Shares back to our sponsor in exchange for a return of the purchase price paid for such Founder Shares. On August 6, 2020, our sponsor transferred an aggregate of 334,000 Founder Shares to certain members of our management team. Of these shares, 250,000 were transferred to F. Jacob Cherian, 28,000 were transferred to Benjamin Waisbren, 18,000 were transferred to each of Marc Iyeki and Dr. Klaas Baks, 10,000 were transferred to Jayesh Parekh and 5,000 were transferred to each of Sergei Bespalov and Daniel Santos. In addition, on August 6, 2020, our sponsor transferred an aggregate of 172,500 Founder Shares to certain of its affiliates. Of these shares, 100,000 were transferred to Gurinder Ahluwalia, 30,000 were transferred to Exemplary Holdings Pte. Ltd., 12,500 were transferred to Jayesh Parekh and 10,000 were transferred to each of Vipul Shah, Sameer Parmar and Mishal Iyer. These transfers and the forfeiture of 375,000 Founder Shares from the expiration of the underwriters over-allotment option resulted in our sponsor holding 1,768,500 Founder Shares. Our sponsor also intends to transfer an aggregate of 782,250 Founder Shares to certain of its affiliates upon the end of the lock-up period described in the prospectus. Of these shares, 300,000 will be transferred to JB Ventures Group Ltd., 100,000 will be transferred to Exemplary Films Corporation, 250,000 will be transferred to Asian Film Fund — Series 1, 50,000 will be transferred to each of Gurinder Ahluwalia and Miten Shah, 12,000 will be transferred to Exemplary Holdings Pte. Ltd., 6,250 will be transferred to Jayesh Parekh, 5,000 will be transferred to each of Vipul Shah and Mishal Iyer and 4,000 will be transferred to Sameer Parmar. Following all of these transfers, our sponsor will hold 986,250 Founder Shares.

Prior to the initial investment in the Company of $25,000 by our sponsor, the Company had no assets, tangible or intangible. The number of Founder Shares outstanding was determined based on the expectation that the total size of the IPO would be a maximum of 11,500,000 units if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full, and therefore that such founder shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares after the IPO (without giving effect to the private placements). Of these founder shares, 375,000 were forfeited by our sponsor due to the underwriters’ not exercising the over-allotment option.

The Founder Shares are identical to the public shares except that the Founder Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below.

Our Initial Stockholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (i) one year after the completion of our initial business combination and (ii) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction after our initial business combination that results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their VMAC Class A Common Stock for cash, securities or other property; except to certain permitted transferees and under certain circumstances as described in the. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of our initial stockholders with respect to any Founder Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (1) the closing price of our Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after our initial business combination or (2) if we consummate a transaction after our initial business combination which results in our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property, the Founder Shares will be released from the lock-up.

Private Placement

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement (the “Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 295,000 Private Placement Units and 500,000 Private Placement Warrants. The Sponsor purchased 220,000 Private Placement Units and I-Bankers purchased 75,000 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of VMAC Class A common stock and one VMAC warrant to purchase one share of VMAC Class A common stock. The Sponsor also purchased 500,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Warrant. The sale of the 10,000,000 Units in the IPO generated gross proceeds of $100,000,000, less underwriting commissions of $1,750,000 (1.75% of the gross proceeds of the IPO) and other offering costs of $593,806. The Private Placement Units and Private Placement Warrants generated $3,450,000 of gross proceeds.

If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Units will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Private Placement Units and all underlying securities will expire worthless.

On August 11, 2020, VMAC issued 35,000 Representative Shares and an aggregate of 500,000 Representatives Warrants, exercisable at $12.00 per share, to the underwriters in connection with their services as underwriters for the IPO. The Representatives Warrants may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, at any time during the period commencing on the later of the first anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement of VMAC and the closing of VMAC’s initial business combination and terminating on the fifth anniversary of such effectiveness date. The underwriters have each agreed that neither it nor its designees will be permitted to exercise the warrants after the five-year anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement.

Administrative Services

We reimburse our sponsor $10,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to members of our management team. Upon completion of our initial business combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees.

Related Party Policy

The audit committee of our board of directors will adopt a policy setting forth the policies and procedures for its review and approval or ratification of “related party transactions.” A “related party transaction” is any consummated or proposed transaction or series of transactions: (i) in which the company was or is to be a participant; (ii) the amount of which exceeds (or is reasonably expected to exceed) the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of the company’s total assets at year end for the prior two completed fiscal years in the aggregate over the duration of the transaction (without regard to profit or loss); and (iii) in which a “related party” had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. “Related parties” under this policy will include: (i) our directors, nominees for director or executive officers; (ii) any record or beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities; (iii) any immediate family member of any of the foregoing if the foregoing person is a natural person; and (iv) any other person who maybe a “related person” pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act. Pursuant to the policy, the audit committee will consider (i) the relevant facts and circumstances of each related party transaction, including if the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in arm’s-length dealings with an unrelated third party, (ii) the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction, (iii) whether the transaction contravenes our code of ethics or other policies, (iv) whether the audit committee believes the relationship underlying the transaction to be in the best interests of the company and its stockholders and (v) the effect that the transaction may have on a director’s status as an independent member of the board and on his or her eligibility to serve on the board’s committees. Management will present to the audit committee each proposed related party transaction, including all relevant facts and circumstances relating thereto. Under the policy, we may consummate related party transactions only if our audit committee approves or ratifies the transaction in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the policy. The policy will not permit any director or executive officer to participate in the discussion of, or decision concerning, a related person transaction in which he or she is the related party.

Foreign Private Issuer Exemption

As a “foreign private issuer,” as defined by the SEC, Pubco is permitted to follow home country corporate governance practices, instead of certain corporate governance practices required by Nasdaq for U.S. domestic issuers other than with respect to certain voting and committee requirements.

Pubco intends to take all actions necessary for it to maintain compliance as a foreign private issuer under the applicable corporate governance requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the rules adopted by the SEC and the Nasdaq corporate governance rules and listing standards.

236

Table of Contents

Because Pubco is a foreign private issuer, its directors and senior management are not subject to short-swing profit and insider trading reporting obligations under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. They will, however, be subject to the obligations to report changes in share ownership under Section 13 of the Exchange Act and related SEC rules, if applicable based on their holdings.

Corporate Governance

We intend to structure our corporate governance in a manner that VMAC and Anghami believe will closely align our interests with those of our shareholders following the Business Combination. Notable features of this corporate governance include:

•        we will have a majority of independent directors, in accordance with Nasdaq rules that apply for foreign private issuers, and independent director representation on our audit, compensation and nominating committees immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination, and our independent directors will meet regularly in executive sessions without the presence of our corporate officers or non-independent directors;

•        at least one of our directors will qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the SEC; and

•        we plan to implement a range of other corporate governance practices, including implementing a robust director education program.

Classified Board of Directors

In accordance with Pubco’s articles of association and the Business Combination Agreement, Pubco’s Board is divided into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class (except for those directors initially appointed as Class I and Class II directors) serving a three-year term. The initial Class I directors’ term will expire at the annual general meeting approving the annual accounts for the financial year ended in 2022, the initial Class II directors’ term will expire at the annual general meeting approving the annual accounts for the financial year ended in 2023, and the initial Class III directors’ term will expire at the annual general meeting approving the annual accounts for the financial year ended in 2024.

Prior to the Closing, Pubco will determine which of its directors will serve as Class I, Class II and Class III directors.

Independence of our Board of Directors

Pubco currently expects that upon consummation of the Business Combination, a majority of its board will be independent directors and Pubco’s Board will have an independent audit committee, nominating committee and compensation committee. Pubco currently expects it will follow home country practice with respect to independence of the directors serving on the nomination committee and the compensation committee.

Board Committees

Audit Committee

Our audit committee will be responsible for, among other things:

•        meeting with our independent registered accounting firm regarding, among other issues, audits, and adequacy of our accounting and control systems;

•        monitoring the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm;

•        verifying the rotation of the lead (or coordinating) audit partner having primary responsibility for the audit and the audit partner responsible for reviewing the audit as required by law;

•        inquiring and discussing with management our compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

•        pre-approving all audit services and permitted non-audit services to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm, including the fees and terms of the services to be performed;

•        appointing or replacing the independent registered public accounting firm;

237

Table of Contents

•        determine the compensation and oversight of the work of the independent registered public accounting firm (including resolution of disagreements between management and the independent registered public accounting firm regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work;

•        establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or reports which raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies;

•        reviewing our policies on risk assessment and risk management; and

•        reviewing related person transactions.

Upon the Closing, Pubco’s audit committee will initially consist of Klaas Baks, Jassim Alseddiqi and Wissam Moukahal, with Klaas Baks serving as the chair of the committee. Each of the directors who will serve on the audit committee will qualify as independent directors according to the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq with respect to audit committee membership. In addition, all of the audit committee members will meet the requirements for financial literacy under applicable SEC and Nasdaq rules and at least one of the audit committee members will qualify as an “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined in Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K. Pubco’s Board will adopt a new written charter for the audit committee, which will be available on Pubco’s website after adoption. The reference to Pubco’s website address in this proxy statement/prospectus does not include or incorporate by reference the information on Pubco’s website into this proxy statement/prospectus.

Compensation Committee

Our compensation committee will be responsible for, among other things:

•        reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, evaluating our Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our Chief Executive Officer based on such evaluation;

•        reviewing and approving the compensation of all of our other executive officers;

•        implementing and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans;

•        approving all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our officers and employees;

Our board of directors believes its administration of its risk function has not negatively affected our board of directors’ leadership structure.

Code of Ethics

Pubco’s Board will adopt a Code of Ethics applicable to our directors, executive officers and team members that complies with the rules and regulations of Nasdaq and the SEC. The Code of Ethics will be available on Pubco’s website. In addition, Pubco intends to post on the Corporate Governance section of its website all disclosures that are required by law or Nasdaq listing standards concerning any amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of the Code of Ethics. The reference to Pubco’s website address in this proxy statement/prospectus does not include or incorporate by reference the information on Pubco’s website into this proxy statement/prospectus.

Compensation of Directors and Officers

Following the Closing of the Business Combination, we expect Pubco’s executive compensation program to reflect Anghami’s compensation policies and philosophies, as they may be modified and updated from time to time.

Following the Closing of the Business Combination, we expect that decisions with respect to the compensation of our executive officers, will be made by the compensation committee of the Pubco board of directors. Anghami’s executive compensation programs for 2020 are further described above under the sections entitled “Management of Anghami — Anghami Executive Compensation” and “Management of Anghami — Director Compensation.”

Following the Closing of the Business Combination, we expect Pubco to pay a retainer of $35,000 per year to its non-employee directors, $20,000 per year to the chairperson of its audit committee, $20,000 per year to the chairperson of its compensation committee and $20,000 per year to the chairperson of its nominating committee.

Effective upon or immediately prior to Closing, Pubco intends to adopt a new long term incentive plan (“LTIP”), under which Pubco may grant equity-based incentive awards to eligible individuals in order to attract, retain and motivate the persons who make important contributions to it. The material terms of the LTIP are summarized below.

Eligibility and Administration

Employees or directors (including executive directors), non-executive directors or consultants of Pubco or of any member of Pubco’s group will be eligible to participate in the LTIP. The LTIP will be administered by the Compensation Committee.

Nature of the LTIP and Form of Awards

The LTIP is an “umbrella” arrangement which, to give the Compensation Committee maximum flexibility, allows various types of award to be granted.

It is intended that the LTIP will be used to grant Performance Share Awards, Restricted Stock Awards and Market Value Stock Options to employees, non-executive directors or consultants of any member of the Group.

239

Table of Contents

Performance Share Awards must be granted subject to performance targets.

Performance Share Awards and Restricted Stock may be granted in the form of nil (or nominal) cost options to acquire Ordinary Shares; or contingent rights to receive Ordinary Shares.

Market Value Stock Options will be granted as an option to acquire Ordinary Shares at market value.

Individual limits

The LTIP contains individual limits which provide that the market value of Ordinary Shares that may be granted under award to any one awardholder in any financial year of Pubco cannot exceed [•] per cent of annual base salary.

Source of Ordinary Shares and dilution limits

Awards are satisfied by newly issued Ordinary Shares.

The aggregate number of Ordinary Shares which may be issued or transferred pursuant to awards under the LTIP shall be equal to [•] Ordinary Shares, which is approximately equal to 5% of the total issued share capital of Pubco in issue at the time.

Grant of awards

The Compensation Committee may, in its absolute discretion, determine which participants (if any) will be selected for the grant of an award. The Compensation Committee may consider recommendations made by the executive directors of Pubco as to which participants should be selected. Awards may then be granted to selected participants at any time.

No Award may be made in breach of any Dealing Restriction.

No Award may be made after [•] 2031.

Performance targets

Performance Share Awards will always be subject to performance targets.

Performance targets are defined as any performance-related condition(s) relating to the performance of any one or more of Pubco, a Subsidiary, a division and/or the awardholder measured over the applicable performance period specified for the relevant award.

The Compensation Committee has the discretion to reduce the number of Ordinary Shares that vest to ensure that the vesting outcome is appropriate in light of the underlying business performance of the Group.

The Compensation Committee may amend a performance target if an event occurs which causes the Compensation Committee to consider it appropriate to do so. The amended performance target shall not be materially more or less demanding to satisfy than the original performance target was when first set and must be a fairer measure of performance than the original performance target.

Vesting of awards

Performance Share Awards will normally vest on the third anniversary of grant, subject to the satisfaction of the performance targets. Restricted Stock Awards will vest on such dates as the Compensation Committee may determine on or before the grant of the awards. Market Value Stock Options will vest on such dates as the Compensation Committee may determine on or before the grant of the awards. On or before the grant of an award, the Compensation Committee shall determine whether the award shall be subject to a post-vesting holding period. If so, and to the extent that the Compensation Committee considers it appropriate, the Compensation Committee shall also determine the basis upon which the post-vesting holding period will operate.

240

Table of Contents

Leaving employment

If an awardholder leaves employment with the Group his award will lapse unless he is a “good leaver”.

An awardholder will be a “good leaver” if the reason for leaving is death, ill-health, injury, disability, redundancy, retirement, the transfer of the employing business or company, or otherwise at the discretion of the Compensation Committee.

If the awardholder is a good leaver then any awards shall vest on the date on which they would have vested had the cessation not occurred subject to any performance targets being satisfied and, unless in exceptional circumstances the Compensation Committee determines otherwise, taking into account a time pro-rata reduction to reflect the period of time between grant and cessation relative to the length of the vesting period.

Corporate events

In the event of a takeover of Pubco awards shall vest early subject, unless the Compensation Committee determines otherwise, to a Time Pro-Rata Reduction.

If Pubco is or may be affected by a demerger, delisting, special dividend or other event which, in the opinion of the Compensation Committee, would affect the market price of a Share to a material extent, the Compensation Committee may allow Awards to Vest at such time as it sees fit.

If there is an Internal Reorganisation and awardholders are invited to accept an exchange of awards, or the Compensation Committee determines that there will be an automatic exchange of awards, awards shall not vest as a result of the Internal Reorganisation, and at the end of the period in which awardholders may accept such an invitation or upon an automatic exchange of awards (as applicable), the awards shall lapse in full.

Rights attaching to Ordinary Shares and transferability

Ordinary Shares allotted or transferred under the LTIP will rank alongside shares of the same class then in issue. Pubco will apply to the Securities and Exchange Commission for the listing of any newly issued Ordinary Shares. Awards are not transferable (except on death) and are not pensionable benefits.

Amendment

The Compensation Committee may amend the LTIP in any respect.

However, no alteration or amendment may be made to any of the provisions of the LTIP if it would adversely affect the rights of an existing awardholder, except where the alteration or amendment has been approved by the awardholder who would be adversely affected by the alteration or amendment.

All alterations and amendments to the LTIP are subject to any approvals required pursuant to the rules of the applicable stock exchange or any listing, regulatory or governmental authority and taking into account any exemptions provided by such rules.

DESCRIPTION OF PUBCO’S SECURITIES

The following description of the material terms of the securities of Pubco following the Business Combination includes a summary of specified provisions of the Pubco Charter that will be in effect upon completion of the Business Combination. This description is qualified by reference to the Pubco Charter as will be in effect upon consummation of the Business Combination, a copy of which of is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex D and is incorporated in this proxy statement/prospectus by reference. References to ‘shareholder’ and ‘member’ shall be used interchangeably herein.

Pubco is a Cayman Islands exempted company and its affairs are governed by the Pubco Charter, the Companies Act and the common law of the Cayman Islands. Pursuant to Pubco Charter which will be adopted upon the closing of the Business Combination, Pubco will be authorized to issue 2,150,000,000 Ordinary Shares and 5,000,000 preference shares, par value of US$0.0001 each (together “Pubco Shares”).

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Pubco is authorised to issue 50,000 ordinary shares of which 1 ordinary share is issued to Anghami.

Ordinary Shares

Holders of Ordinary Shares will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by members.

There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voted for the election of directors can elect all of the directors.

Preference Shares

Pubco’s board of directors (the “Pubco Board”) is authorized to issue preference shares from time to time in one or more series without member approval. The Pubco Board has the discretion under the Pubco Charter to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences of Pubco’s authorized but unissued undesignated shares, and the Pubco Board may issue those shares in series of preference shares, without any further member approval. The rights with respect to a series of preference shares may be greater than the rights attached the Ordinary Shares. It is not possible to state the actual effect of the issuance of any preference shares on the rights of holders of Ordinary Shares until the Pubco Board determines the specific rights attached to any preference shares so issued. The effect of issuing preference shares could include, among other things, one or more of the following:

•        Restricting dividends in respect of the Ordinary Shares;

•        Diluting the voting power of the Ordinary Shares or providing that holders of preference shares have the right to vote on matters as a class;

•        Impairing the liquidation rights of the Ordinary Shares; or

•        Delaying or preventing a change of control of Pubco.

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, there will be no preference shares outstanding, and Pubco has no present plans to designate the rights of or to issue any preference shares.

Dividend Rights

Subject to the foregoing, the payment of cash dividends in the future, if any, will be at the discretion of the Pubco Board.

242

Table of Contents

Variation of Rights

Under the Pubco Charter, if the Pubco share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, the rights attached to any such class may, whether or not Pubco is being wound up, be varied without the consent of the holders of the issued shares of that class where such variation is considered by the directors not to have a material and adverse effect upon such rights; otherwise, any such variation shall be made only with the consent in writing of all of the holders of the issued shares of that class or with the approval of a resolution passed by a majority of not less than two thirds of the votes cast at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

Transfer of Shares

Members may transfer all or any of the member’s Shares in compliance with the rules and regulations of the designated stock exchange, the SEC and any other competent regulatory authority or as permitted by applicable law.

The Pubco Board may in its absolute discretion decline to register a transfer of Shares which are not fully paid up or on which Pubco has a lien or issued under any share incentive scheme for employees upon which a transfer restriction imposed still exists. The Pubco Board may, but is not required to, decline to register a transfer of any Shares unless certain requirements are met.

Liquidation

On a winding-up or other return of capital, subject to any special rights attaching to any other class of shares, holders of Shares will be entitled to participate in any assets available for distribution in proportion to their shareholdings.

Indemnification of Directors and Executive Officers and Limitation of Liability

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. The Pubco Charter permit indemnification of officers and directors for any liability, action, proceeding, claim, demand, costs damages or expenses, including legal expenses, incurred in their capacities as such unless such liability (if any) arises from actual fraud, willful neglect or willful default which may attach to such directors or officers. In addition, Pubco intends to enter into indemnification agreements with its directors and senior executive officers that will provide such persons with additional indemnification beyond that provided in the Pubco Charter.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to Pubco’s directors, officers or persons controlling Pubco under the foregoing provisions, Pubco has been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions in the Pubco Charter

Certain provisions in the Pubco Charter may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, deter or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a member might consider to be in its best interests, including attempts that might result in a premium being paid over the market price for the Ordinary Shares. These provisions are also designed, in part, to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with the Pubco Board.

Ordinary Shares

The authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares will be available for future issuance by the Pubco Board on such terms as the Pubco Board may determine, subject to any limitations in the Pubco Charter. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control over Pubco by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger, amalgamation, scheme of arrangement or otherwise.

243

Table of Contents

Preference Shares

Preference shares could be issued quickly with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change in control of Pubco or make removal of management more difficult. If the Pubco Board decides to issue these preference shares, the price of Ordinary Shares may fall and the voting and other rights of the holders of Ordinary Shares may be materially adversely affected. Pursuant to the Pubco Charter, preference shares may be issued by Pubco from time to time, and the Pubco Board is authorized (without any requirement for further member action) to determine the rights, preferences, powers, qualifications, limitations and restrictions attaching to those shares (and any further undesignated shares which may be authorized by Pubco’s members). See “— Preference Shares.”

However, under Cayman Islands law, Pubco’s directors may only exercise the rights and powers granted to them under the Pubco Charter for a proper purpose and for what they believe in good faith to be in the best interests of Pubco.

Classified Board

The Pubco Charter provide that, subject to the right of holders of any series of preference shares, the Pubco Board will be divided into three classes of directors, as nearly equal in number as possible, and with the directors serving staggered three-year terms, with only one class of directors being elected at each annual general meeting. As a result, approximately one-third of the Pubco Board will be elected each year.

The classification of directors will have the effect of making it more difficult for members to change the composition of the Pubco Board. The Pubco Charter provide for a board comprised of between three and 12 directors, but in accordance with the Pubco Charter, the directors may increase or reduce the upper and lower limits of the number of directors. See the section entitled “Information about Executive Officers, Directors and Nominees.”

Unanimous Action by Written Consent

The Pubco Charter provide that members may approve corporate matters by way of a unanimous written resolution signed by or on behalf of each member who would have been entitled to vote on such matter at a general meeting without a meeting being held.

Amendment of Governing Documents

As permitted by Cayman Islands law, the Pubco Charter may only be amended by a special resolution of the members.

Member Proposals and Director Nominations

An extraordinary general meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governing documents, but shareholders may be precluded from calling extraordinary general meeting.

The Companies Act provides shareholders with only limited rights to requisition a general meeting, and does not provide shareholders with any right to put any proposal before a general meeting.

The Pubco Charter provides for the ability of members to nominate candidates for election as directors and for the ability to bring business before a meeting of members, subject to meeting certain notice and delivery requirements.

General Meetings

The Companies Act provides members with only limited rights to requisition a general meeting, and does not provide member with any right to put any proposal before a general meeting. The Pubco Charter permit the Pubco Board or the chairperson of the Pubco Board to call general meetings. The Pubco Charter do not allow members to requisition a general meeting. The Pubco Articles, however, allows a member to put a proposal before a general meeting, subject to meeting certain notice and delivery requirements.

244

Table of Contents

Cumulative Voting

Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority members on a board of directors since it permits the minority member to cast all the votes to which the member is entitled on a single director, which increases the member’s voting power with respect to electing such director. As permitted under Cayman Islands law, the Pubco Charter do not provide for cumulative voting.

Transactions with Interested Members

Cayman Islands law has no statute that prohibits certain business combinations with an interested member. However, although Cayman Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant members, it does provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and for a proper corporate purpose and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on the minority members. Any merger or consolidation of Pubco with one (1) or more constituent companies shall require the approval of a special resolution (66 2/3% of members at a general meeting where there is a quorum).

Dissolution; Winding Up

Under Cayman Islands law, a company may be wound up by either an order of the courts of the Cayman Islands or by a special resolution of its members or, if the company is unable to pay its debts as they fall due, by an Ordinary Resolution (simple majority standard) of its members. The court has authority to order winding up in a number of specified circumstances including where it is, in the opinion of the court, just and equitable to do so.

Under the Pubco Charter, if Pubco is wound up, the liquidator may distribute the assets available for distribution amongst the members in proportion to the par value of the Ordinary Shares held by them at the commencement of the winding up subject to a deduction from those Ordinary Shares in respect of which there are monies due, of all monies payable to Pubco for unpaid calls or otherwise.

Rights of Non-Resident or Foreign Members

There are no limitations imposed by the Pubco Charter on the rights of non-resident or foreign members to hold or exercise voting rights on Pubco’s shares. In addition, there are no provisions in the Pubco Charter governing the ownership threshold above which member ownership must be disclosed.

Directors’ Power to Issue Shares

Subject to applicable law, the Pubco Board is empowered to issue or allot shares or grant options and warrants with or without preferred, deferred, or other rights or restrictions.

Inspection of Books and Records

Holders of Pubco shares have no general right under Cayman Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of the Pubco register of members or Pubco’s corporate records.

Waiver of Certain Corporate Opportunities

The Pubco Charter provide for a waiver of the obligation to provide business opportunities to Pubco for directors, members and affiliates of members, in each case, other than an officer (including any officer that is also a director, or a member or an affiliate of such member, as the case may be) (as more particularly described in the Pubco Charter). Notwithstanding that the waiver does not apply to any officer, officers are not restricted from engaging, directly or indirectly, in other business ventures of every type and description (other than any competing business, except to the extent permitted under the Pubco Charter).

245

Table of Contents

Directors

Appointment of Directors

The Pubco Board shall be divided into three (3) classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, respectively with directors divided as nearly as possible into thirds among the classes. Directors shall be assigned to each class by the Pubco Board. At the 2022 annual general meeting of Pubco, the term of office of the Class I directors shall expire and Class I directors shall be elected for a full term of three (3) years. At the 2023 annual general meeting of Pubco, the term of office of the Class II directors shall expire and Class II directors shall be elected for a full term of three (3) years. At the 2024 annual general meeting of Pubco, the term of office of the Class III directors shall expire and Class III directors shall be elected for a full term of three (3) years. At each succeeding annual general meeting of Pubco, directors shall be elected for a full term of three (3) years to succeed the directors of the class whose terms expire at such annual general meeting. Directors hold office until the expiration of the director’s term, until a director’s successor has been duly elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.

Directors are elected by a majority standard, which requires the number of votes cast for the person’s appointment to exceed the number of votes cast against the person’s appointment.

Removal of Directors

Under the Pubco Charter, a director may be removed from office only for cause by special resolution of Pubco. A director will also cease to be a director if he or she (i) becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with such director’s creditors; (ii) is found to be or becomes of unsound mind; (iii) resigns the office of director by notice in writing to the company; (iv) the director absents himself or herself (for the avoidance of doubt, without being represented by proxy) from three (3) consecutive meetings of the Pubco Board without special leave of absence from the Pubco Board, and the Pubco Board passes a resolution that he or she has by reason of such absence vacated office; or (v) is prohibited, by any applicable law or relevant code applicable to the listing of shares on the designated stock exchange, from being a director.

Filing Vacancies on the Pubco Board

Vacancies on the Pubco Board may be filled by the majority of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director (subject to the Companies Act, applicable law, or any rights of any preference shares).

A director appointed to fill a vacancy resulting from the death, resignation or removal of a director serves the remainder of the full term of the director whose death, resignation or removal created the vacancy and until his or her successor shall have been appointed and qualified.

Directors’ Fiduciary Duties

Under Cayman Islands law, directors and officers owe the following fiduciary duties:

•        duty to act in good faith in what the director or officer believes to be in the best interests of the company as a whole;

•        duty to exercise powers for the purposes for which those powers were conferred and not for a collateral purpose;

•        directors should not improperly fetter the exercise of future discretion;

•        duty to exercise powers fairly as between different sections of members;

•        duty not to put themselves in a position in which there is a conflict between their duty to the company and their personal interests; and

•        duty to exercise independent judgment.

246

Table of Contents

In addition to the above, directors also owe a duty of care which is not fiduciary in nature. This duty has been defined as a requirement to act as a reasonably diligent person having both the general knowledge, skill and experience that may reasonably be expected of a person carrying out the same functions as are carried out by that director in relation to the company and the general knowledge skill and experience of that director.

As set out above, directors have a duty not to put themselves in a position of conflict and this includes a duty not to engage in self-dealing, or to otherwise benefit as a result of their position. However, in some instances what would otherwise be a breach of this duty can be forgiven and/or authorized in advance by the members provided that there is full disclosure by the directors. This can be done by way of permission granted in the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association or alternatively by member approval at general meetings.

Meetings of Members

As a Cayman Islands exempted company, Pubco is not obliged by law to call annual general meetings, however, directors are elected at annual general meetings.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for ordinary shares will be Computershare Trust Company, N.A.

Listing

We intend to have the Ordinary Shares listed on NASDAQ under the symbol “ANGH”.

Warrants

Pubco Warrants

Each warrant will entitle the registered holder to purchase one Pubco Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share (or such lower price as Pubco may determine pursuant to the terms of the warrant agreement), subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing on the later of 12 months from the closing of the VMAC’s public offering and 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination, provided in each case that Pubco has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Pubco Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or Pubco permits holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis under the circumstances specified in the warrant agreement) and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder. The warrants will expire five years after the completion of VMAC’s initial business combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time (or such later date as Pubco may determine pursuant to the terms of the warrant agreement), or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

Pubco will not be obligated to deliver any Pubco Ordinary Shares pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Pubco Ordinary Shares underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to Pubco’s satisfying obligations described below with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable and Pubco will not be obligated to issue a Pubco Ordinary Share upon exercise of a warrant unless Pubco Ordinary Shares issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will Pubco be required to net cash settle any warrant.

247

Table of Contents

Redemption of Pubco Warrants

Once the warrants become exercisable, Pubco may call the warrants for redemption for cash:

•        in whole and not in part;

•        at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

•        upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”) to each warrant holder; and

•        if, and only if, the closing price of the common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like and for certain issuances of Pubco Ordinary Shares and equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of our initial business combination as described elsewhere in the Prospectus) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before we send to the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

If and when the warrants become redeemable by Pubco for cash, Pubco may exercise its redemption right even if Pubco is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. Pubco has established the last of the redemption criterion discussed above to prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and Pubco issues a notice of redemption of the warrants, each warrant holder will be entitled to exercise his, her or its warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of Pubco Ordinary Shares may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like and for certain issuances of Pubco Ordinary Shares and equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the Business Combination) as well as the $11.50 warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.

Representative Warrants

VMAC granted to I-Bankers (and/or its designees) 500,000 warrants exercisable at $12.00 per share upon the closing of the VMAC’s IPO. Pubco will convert each of the former Representative Warrants at the Vistas Merger Effective Time into a right to acquire one Pubco Ordinary Share on substantially the same terms as were in effect immediately prior to the Vistas Merger Effective Time. The warrants may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, at any time during the period commencing on the later of the first anniversary of the effective date of VMAC’s registration statement and the closing of the Business Combination and terminating on the fifth anniversary of such effectiveness date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, I-Bankers has agreed that neither it nor its designees will be permitted to exercise the warrants after the five-year anniversary of the effective date of VMAC’s registration statement. The warrants grant to holders certain registration rights with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of the Pubco Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The exercise price and number of Pubco Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, or Pubco’s recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of Pubco Ordinary Shares at a price below its exercise price. Pubco will have no obligation to net cash settle the exercise of the warrants. The holder of the warrants will not be entitled to exercise the warrants for cash unless a registration statement covering the securities underlying the warrants is effective or an exemption from registration is available.

Service Warrants

SHUAA will receive Service Warrants for services rendered in connection with the Business Combination. The Service Warrants will have terms identical to the Pubco Warrants.

Enforceability of Civil Liability under Cayman Islands Law

Pubco has been advised by Maples and Calder (Dubai) LLP, its Cayman Islands legal counsel, that the courts of the Cayman Islands are unlikely (i) to recognize, or enforce against Pubco, judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any State; and (ii) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, to impose liabilities against Pubco predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any State, so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature. In those circumstances, although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, the courts of the Cayman Islands will recognize and enforce a foreign money judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay the sum for which judgment has been given provided certain conditions are met. For a foreign judgment to be enforced in the Cayman Islands, such judgment must be final and conclusive and for a liquidated sum, and must not be in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty, inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment in respect of the same matter, impeachable on the grounds of fraud or obtained in a manner, and or be of a kind the enforcement of which is, contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands (awards of punitive or multiple damages may well be held to be contrary to public policy). A Cayman Islands Court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere. There is recent Privy Council authority (which is binding on the Cayman Islands Court) in the context of a reorganization plan approved by the New York Bankruptcy Court which suggests that due to the universal nature of bankruptcy/insolvency proceedings, foreign money judgments obtained in foreign bankruptcy/insolvency proceedings may be enforced without applying the principles outlined above. However, a more recent English Supreme Court authority (which is highly persuasive but not binding on the Cayman Islands Court), has expressly rejected that approach in the context of a default judgment obtained in an adversary proceeding brought in the New York Bankruptcy Court by the receivers of the bankruptcy debtor against a third party, and which would not have been enforceable upon the application of the traditional common law principles summarized above and held that foreign money judgments obtained in bankruptcy/insolvency proceedings should be enforced by applying the principles set out above, and not by the simple exercise of the Courts’ discretion. Those cases have now been considered by the Cayman Islands Court. The Cayman Islands Court was not asked to consider the specific question of whether a judgment of a bankruptcy court in an adversary proceeding would be enforceable in the Cayman Islands, but it did endorse the need for active assistance of overseas bankruptcy proceedings. Pubco understands that the Cayman Islands Court’s decision in that case has been appealed and it remains the case that the law regarding the enforcement of bankruptcy/insolvency related judgments is still in a state of uncertainty.

Anti-Money Laundering — Cayman Islands

If any person in the Cayman Islands knows or suspects or has reasonable grounds for knowing or suspecting that another person is engaged in criminal conduct or money laundering or is involved with terrorism or terrorist financing and property and the information for that knowledge or suspicion came to their attention in the course of business in the regulated sector, or other trade, profession, business or employment, the person will be required to report such knowledge or suspicion to (i) the Financial Reporting Authority of the Cayman Islands, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands if the disclosure relates to criminal conduct or money laundering, or (ii) a police officer of the rank of constable or higher, or the Financial Reporting Authority, pursuant to the Terrorism Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands, if the disclosure relates to involvement with terrorism or terrorist financing and property. Such a report shall not be treated as a breach of confidence or of any restriction upon the disclosure of information imposed by any enactment or otherwise.

Data Protection — Cayman Islands

Pubco has certain duties under the Data Protection Act, (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands (the “Data Protection Act”) based on internationally accepted principles of data privacy.

Table of Contents

Privacy Notice

Introduction

This privacy notice puts Pubco’s members on notice that through your investment in Pubco you will provide Pubco with certain personal information which constitutes personal data within the meaning of the Data Protection Act (“personal data”). In the following discussion, the “company” refers to Pubco and its affiliates and/or delegates, except where the context requires otherwise.

Investor Data

Pubco will collect, use, disclose, retain and secure personal data to the extent reasonably required only and within the parameters that could be reasonably expected during the normal course of business. Pubco will only process, disclose, transfer or retain personal data to the extent legitimately required to conduct its activities on an ongoing basis or to comply with legal and regulatory obligations to which Pubco is subject. Pubco will only transfer personal data in accordance with the requirements of the Data Protection Act, and will apply appropriate technical and organizational information security measures designed to protect against unauthorized or unlawful processing of the personal data and against the accidental loss, destruction or damage to the personal data.

In its use of this personal data, Pubco will be characterized as a “data controller” for the purposes of the Data Protection Act, while its affiliates and service providers who may receive this personal data from Pubco in the conduct of its activities may either act as our “data processors” for the purposes of the Data Protection Act or may process personal information for their own lawful purposes in connection with services provided to Pubco.

Pubco may also obtain personal data from other public sources. Personal data includes, without limitation, the following information relating to a member and/or any individuals connected with a member as an investor: name, residential address, email address, contact details, corporate contact information, signature, nationality, place of birth, date of birth, tax identification, credit history, correspondence records, passport number, bank account details, source of funds details and details relating to the member’s investment activity.

Who this Affects

If you are a natural person, this will affect you directly. If you are a corporate investor (including, for these purposes, legal arrangements such as trusts or exempted limited partnerships) that provides Pubco with personal data on individuals connected to you for any reason in relation your investment in the company, this will be relevant for those individuals and you should transmit the content of this Privacy Notice to such individuals or otherwise advise them of its content.

How Pubco May Use a Member’s Personal Data

The company, as the data controller, may collect, store and use personal data for lawful purposes, including, in particular:

1.      where this is necessary for the performance of its rights and obligations under any purchase agreements;

2.      where this is necessary for compliance with a legal and regulatory obligation to which the company is subject (such as compliance with anti-money laundering and FATCA/CRS requirements); and/or

3.      where this is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests and such interests are not overridden by your interests, fundamental rights or freedoms.

Should Pubco wish to use personal data for other specific purposes (including, if applicable, any purpose that requires your consent), it will contact you.

250

Why Pubco May Transfer Your Personal Data

In certain circumstances Pubco may be legally obliged to share personal data and other information with respect to your shareholding with the relevant regulatory authorities such as the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority or the Tax Information Authority. They, in turn, may exchange this information with foreign authorities, including tax authorities.

Pubco anticipates disclosing personal data to persons who provide services to the company and their respective affiliates (which may include certain entities located outside the United States, the Cayman Islands or the European Economic Area), who will process your personal data on its behalf.

The Data Protection Measures Pubco Takes

Any transfer of personal data by Pubco or its duly authorized affiliates and/or delegates outside of the Cayman Islands shall be in accordance with the requirements of the Data Protection Act.

Pubco and its duly authorized affiliates and/or delegates shall apply appropriate technical and organizational information security measures designed to protect against unauthorized or unlawful processing of personal data, and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, personal data.

Pubco shall notify you of any personal data breach that is reasonably likely to result in a risk to your interests, fundamental rights or freedoms or those data subjects to whom the relevant personal data relates.

COMPARISON OF SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS

In connection with the Business Combination, holders of VMAC Common Stock will become shareholders of Pubco and their rights will be governed by the Cayman Islands law and the Pubco Charter. Currently, the rights of VMAC stockholders are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and the VMAC Charter.

This section describes the material differences between the rights of VMAC stockholders and the proposed rights of Pubco’s shareholders. This summary is not complete and does not cover all of the differences between the Cayman Islands laws and Delaware laws affecting corporations and their shareholders or all the differences between VMAC’s and Pubco’s organizational documents. The summary is therefore subject to the complete text of the relevant provisions of the Cayman Islands laws and Delaware laws and VMAC’s and Pubco’s organizational documents. For information on the VMAC Charter see the section entitled, “Where You Can Find More Information” in this proxy statement/prospectus. For a summary of the Pubco Charter, see the section entitled “Description of Pubco’s Securities” in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Directors

•   Board shall consist of not less than three nor more than 12 persons.

•   The number of board members is fixed in the articles of association and it may be increased or reduced by a resolution of members or by a resolution of the directors.

•   Decisions made by directors and officers on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action was taken in the best interest of the corporation will be protected by the “business judgment rule.”

Shareholders’ Derivative Actions

Derivative actions have been brought in the Cayman Islands courts, and the Cayman Islands courts have confirmed the availability for such actions. In most cases, the company will be the proper plaintiff in any claim based on a breach of duty owed to it, and a claim against (for example) its officers or directors usually may not be brought by a shareholder. However, based both on Cayman Islands authorities and on English authorities, which would in all likelihood be of persuasive authority and be applied by a court in the Cayman Islands, exceptions to the foregoing principle apply in circumstances in which:

•   a company is acting, or proposing to act, illegally or beyond the scope of its authority;

•   the act complained of, although not beyond the scope of the authority, could be effected if duly authorized by more than the number of votes which have actually been obtained; or

•   those who control the company are perpetrating a “fraud on the minority.”

A shareholder may have a direct right of action against a company where the individual rights of that shareholder have been infringed or are about to be infringed.

 

•   In any derivative suit instituted by a shareholder of a corporation, it shall be averred in the complaint that the plaintiff was a shareholder of the corporation at the time of the transaction of which he complains or that such shareholder’s stock thereafter devolved upon such shareholder by operation of law.

•   Complaint shall set forth with particularity the efforts of the plaintiff to obtain the action by the board or the reasons for not making such effort.

   

•   Such action shall not be dismissed or compromised without the approval of the Chancery Court.

   

•   Shareholders of a Delaware corporation that redeemed their shares, or whose shares were canceled in connection with dissolution, would not be able to bring a derivative action against the corporation after the shares have been redeemed or canceled.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES UNDER U.S. SECURITIES LAWS

Cayman Islands

We were incorporated in the Cayman Islands in order to enjoy the following benefits:

•        political and economic stability;

•        an effective judicial system;

•        a favorable tax system;

•        the absence of exchange control or currency restrictions; and

•        the availability of professional and support services.

However, certain disadvantages accompany incorporation in the Cayman Islands. These disadvantages include, but are not limited to, the following:

•        the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States and these securities laws provide significantly less protection to investors; and

•        Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the federal courts of the United States.

Our memorandum and articles of association do not contain provisions requiring that disputes, including those arising under the securities laws of the United States, between us, our officers, directors and shareholders, be arbitrated.

Substantially all of our operations are conducted outside the United States, and all of our assets are located outside the United States. A majority of our directors and officers are nationals or residents of jurisdictions other than the United States and a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for a shareholder to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons, or to enforce against us or them judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.

Pubco has appointed Puglisi & Associates as its agent upon whom process may be served in any action brought against it under the securities laws of the United States after the consummation of the Business Combination.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Upon the Closing, Pubco will have 2,150,000,000 Pubco Ordinary Shares and 5,000,000 preference shares, par value of US$0.0001 each, authorized and, based on the assumptions set out elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, up to 31,500,075 Pubco Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, assuming no shares of VMAC Class A Common Stock are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination and 2,500,000 shares held by the Initial Stockholders that will be subject to certain lock-up arrangements. In addition, Pubco is expected to have 10,945,000 warrants issued and outstanding, each warrant exercisable for one Pubco Ordinary Share at $11.50 per share and 500,000 warrants issued and outstanding, each warrant exercisable for one Pubco Ordinary Share at $12.00 per share. All of the Pubco Ordinary Shares issued to the VMAC stockholders in connection with the Business Combination will be freely transferable by persons other than by Pubco’s “affiliates” or VMAC’s “affiliates” without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. Sales of substantial amounts of the Pubco Ordinary Shares in the public market could adversely affect prevailing market prices of the Pubco Ordinary Shares. Prior to the Business Combination, there has been no public market for Pubco Ordinary Shares. Pubco intends to apply for listing of the Pubco Ordinary Shares and Pubco Warrants on Nasdaq, but Pubco cannot assure you that a regular trading market will develop in the Pubco Ordinary Shares and Pubco Warrants.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table shows the beneficial ownership of Anghami Ordinary Shares and Class B Anghami Preferred Shares as of October 22, 2021 by:

•        each person known by Anghami to beneficially own more than 5% of the outstanding Anghami Ordinary Shares and Class B Anghami Preferred Shares;

•        each of Anghami’s named executive officers and directors; and

•        all of Anghami’s executive officers and directors as a group.

Unless otherwise indicated, Anghami believes that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned by them. Except as otherwise noted herein, the number and percentage of Anghami Ordinary Shares and Class B Anghami Preferred Shares beneficially owned is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rule, beneficial ownership includes any Anghami Ordinary Shares and Class B Anghami Preferred Shares as to which the holder has sole or shared voting power or investment power and also any Anghami Ordinary Shares and Class B Anghami Preferred Shares which the holder has the right to acquire within 60 days of October 22, 2021 through the exercise of any option, conversion or any other right. The table does not include stock options and restricted shares held by the executive officers that do not vest or become exercisable, and do not provide voting rights, within 60 days of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. See the section entitled “Management of Anghami.” As of October 22, 2021, there were 25,697 Class A Anghami Ordinary Shares outstanding (excluding treasury shares), 55,951 Class B Anghami Preferred Shares outstanding, and 5,578 Class C Anghami Ordinary Shares outstanding.

Anghami has one record holder in the United States of America, that holds 1.30% of Class B Anghami Preferred Shares. Anghami issued an amended and restated warrant on May 1, 2019 to Sal & Co Management LP., to purchase 1,400 Class C Anghami Ordinary Shares. Pursuant to a letter agreement dated October 7, 2021, Sal & Co Management LP., has agreed that at Closing, Pubco will issue a warrant to purchase Pubco Ordinary Shares on the same terms as the prior warrant (to the extent such terms are still relevant) and that the existing warrant will terminate.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Submission of Future Stockholder Proposals

VMAC’s board of directors is aware of no other matter that may be brought before the special meeting. Under Delaware law, only business that is specified in the notice of special meeting to stockholders may be transacted at the special meeting.

VMAC does not expect to hold a 2021 annual meeting of stockholders because it will not be a separate public company if the Business Combination is completed. Alternatively, if VMAC does not consummate a business combination by February 11, 2022, VMAC is required to begin the dissolution process provided for in the VMAC Charter, as amended. VMAC will liquidate as soon as practicable following such dissolution and will conduct no annual meetings thereafter.

Delivery of Documents to Stockholders

Pursuant to the rules of the SEC, VMAC and servicers that it employs to deliver communications to its stockholders are permitted to deliver to two or more stockholders sharing the same address a single copy of the proxy statement. Upon written or oral request, VMAC will deliver a separate copy of the proxy statement to any stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the proxy statement was delivered and who wishes to receive separate copies in the future. Stockholders receiving multiple copies of the proxy statement may likewise request delivery of single copies of the proxy statement in the future. Stockholders may notify VMAC of their requests by calling or writing VMAC at its principal executive offices at (212) 859-3525 and 30 Wall Street, 8th Floor, New York, New York 10005.

VISTAS MEDIA ACQUISITION COMPANY INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. Description of Organization and Business Operations

Vistas Media Acquisition Company Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on March 27, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, the Company intends to focus its search for an initial business combination on companies that are positioned to benefit directly from the growth of digitally available content. While the Company’s efforts to identify a target will not be limited to any particular media and entertainment segment or geography, it intends to focus its search on content, film, post -production and/or visual effects facilities, animation, streaming, augmented and virtual reality, music, digital media, gaming and e-sports. The Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

The Company’s sponsor is Vistas Media Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity for the period from March 27, 2020 (inception) through June 30, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“Public Offering” or “IPO”), which is described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company anticipates it will generate income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO and placed in Trust Account (as defined below) as described below.

Public Offering

The Company completed the sale of 10,000,000 units (the “Units”) at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit in the Public Offering on August 11, 2020. Simultaneously with the closing of the Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (the “Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 295,000 private placement units (the “Private Placement Units”) and 500,000 private placement warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”). The Sponsor purchased 220,000 Private Placement Units and I-Bankers Securities, Inc. (“I-Bankers”) purchased 75,000 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit. The Sponsor also purchased 500,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Warrant. The sale of the 10,000,000 Units in the Public Offering (the “Public Units”) generated gross proceeds of $100,000,000, less underwriting commissions of $1,750,000 (1.75% of the gross proceeds of the Public Offering) and other offering costs of $593,806. The Private Placement Units and Private Placement Warrants generated $3,450,000 of gross proceeds.

Each Unit consists of one (1) share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Class A Common Stock”) and one (1) redeemable warrant to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock (collectively, with the Private Placement Warrants and the warrants underlying the Private Placement Units, the “Warrants”). One Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share.

The Company also granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional Units at the Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts.

The Trust Account

Upon completion of the Public Offering, $100,000,000 of proceeds were held in the Company’s trust account at UBS Financial Services Inc., with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee (the “Trust Account”), and will be invested in permitted United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act that invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Unless and until the Company completes the Initial Business Combination, it may pay its expenses only from the net proceeds of the Public Offering and the Private Placement held outside the Trust Account.

VISTAS MEDIA ACQUISITION COMPANY INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. Description of Organization and Business Operations (cont.)

Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes, the proceeds from the Public Offering may not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of: (i) the completion of the Initial Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its public shares if it does not complete the Initial Business Combination by August 11, 2021, 12 months from the closing of the Public Offering (or up to 18 months from the closing of the Public Offering if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a business combination); or (iii) the redemption of all of the Company’s public shares if the Company is unable to complete the Initial Business Combination by August 11, 2021, 12 months from the closing of the Public Offering (or up to 18 months from the closing of the Public Offering if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a business combination) (see Note 8– subsequent events) (at which such time up to $100,000 of interest shall be available to the Company to pay dissolution expenses), subject to applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the holders of the Company’s public shares (the “public stockholders”).

Initial Business Combination

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Public Offering and the Private Placement are intended to be generally applied toward consummating an Initial Business Combination. The Initial Business Combination must occur with one or more businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect an Initial Business Combination.

If the Company holds a stockholder meeting to approve the Initial Business Combination, a public stockholder will have the right to redeem its public shares for an amount in cash equal to its pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, including interest but less taxes payable. As a result, such shares of Class A common stock have been recorded at redemption amount and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Public Offering, in accordance with Financial Accounting

Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”

Pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, if the Company is unable to complete the Initial Business Combination by August 11, 2021, 12 months from the closing of the Public Offering (or up to 18 months from the closing of the Public Offering if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a business combination) (see Note 8– subsequent events), the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares (as defined below) held by them if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within 12 months of the closing of the Public Offering (or up

to 18 months from the closing of the Public Offering if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a business combination). However, if the Sponsor or any of the Company’s directors or officers acquires shares of Class A common stock in or after the Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such public shares if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within the prescribed time period.

As notified in the Note 8 Subsequent Event, on August 10, 2021, the Extension Payment was deposited by the Sponsor into the Company’s trust account to extend the August 11, 2021 deadline to November 11, 2021. On November 09, 2021, the Extension Payment was deposited by the Sponsor into the Company’s trust account to extend the deadline once more from November 11, 2021 to February 11, 2022.

In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company after an Initial Business Combination the Company’s remaining stockholders are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision is made for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. The Company’s stockholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights. The Company will provide its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, under the circumstances, and, subject to the limitations, described herein.

NOTE 2. Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

In connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements, as of June 30, 2021, management determined it should revise its previously reported financial statements. The Company determined, effective with the closing of the Company’s Initial Public Offering and shares sold pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment, it had improperly allocated its Class A Common stock subject to possible redemption between temporary equity and permanent equity. The Company previously determined the Class A Common stock subject to possible redemption classified as temporary equity, to be equal to the redemption value of $10.00 per Class A Common stock while also taking into consideration a redemption cannot result in net tangible assets being less than $5,000,001. Accordingly, the Company classified a portion of its Class A Common stock within permanent equity. Effective with these quarterly financial statements, Management determined that the Class A Common stock issued during the Initial

Public Offering and pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment can be redeemed or become redeemable subject to the occurrence of future events considered outside the Company’s control. Therefore, management concluded that temporary equity should include all Class A Common stock subject to possible redemption, resulting in the Class A Common stock subject to possible redemption being equal to their redemption value. As a result, management has noted a reclassification adjustment related to temporary equity and permanent equity. This resulted in an adjustment to the initial carrying value of the Class A Common stock subject to possible redemption with the offset recorded to additional paid-in capital (to the extent available), accumulated deficit and Class A Common stock .

In connection with the change in presentation for the Class A Common stock subject to redemption, the Company also revised its earnings per share calculation to allocate net income (loss) evenly to Class A and Class B Common stock . This presentation contemplates a Business Combination as the most likely outcome, in which case, both classes of Common stock share pro rata in the income (loss) of the Company. The changes to the earnings per share calculation is considered to be immaterial.

There has been no change in the Company’s total assets, liabilities or operating results.

NOTE 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised, and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit of $250,000. As of June 30, 2021, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.

NOTE 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Net Loss Per Common Stock

Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of Common stock outstanding during the period. At June 30, 2021, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into Common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the period presented.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Deferred tax assets were deemed immaterial as of June 30, 2021.

FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2021. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of June 30, 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company’s management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

NOTE 4. Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On April 30, 2020, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 2,875,000 shares of Class B common stock (the “Founder Shares”) in exchange for a capital contribution of $25,000, or approximately $0.009 per share. On July 1, 2020, the Sponsor transferred 225,000 Founder Shares to PFVI, LLC for a purchase price of $1,500,000. On August 6, 2020, the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 334,000 Founder Shares to members of its management team and 172,500 Founder Shares to certain of its affiliates.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 4. Related Party Transactions (cont.)

The Founder Shares are identical to the shares of common stock included in the Units and holders of Founder Shares have the same stockholder rights as public stockholders, except that (i) the Founder Shares and the shares of common stock underlying the Private Placement Units are subject to certain transfer restrictions, and (ii) the Sponsor has entered into a letter agreement, pursuant to which it has agreed (A) to waive its redemption rights with respect to the Founder Shares, and the shares of common stock underlying the Private Placement Units and the Public Units in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (B) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares and the shares of common stock underlying the Private Placement Units if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within 12 months from the closing of the Public Offering (or up to 18 months from the closing of the Public Offering if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a Business Combination) (see Note 8 — subsequent events)

With certain limited exceptions, the Founder Shares are not transferable, assignable or saleable (except to the Company’s officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with the Sponsor, each of whom will be subject to the same transfer restrictions) until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of an initial Business Combination or earlier of (B) subsequent to the Company’s initial Business Combination, (i) if the last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, or (ii) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Private Placements

In addition, the Sponsor purchased, pursuant to written agreements, an aggregate of 220,000 Private Placement Units at $10.00 per Private Placement Unit and 500,000 Private Placement Warrants at $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant for aggregate proceeds of $2,700,000. This purchase took place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the completion of the Initial Public Offering. This issuance was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

Administrative Service Fee

The Company has agreed, commencing on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination or its liquidation, to pay the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. The total amounts of administrative service fees expensed for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021 were $30,000 and $60,000, respectively. Upon completion of the Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees.

Related Party Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, officers and directors or their respective affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company will repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, or converted upon consummation of a Business Combination into additional Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit (the “Working Capital Units”). As of June 30, 2021, no Working Capital Loans have been issued.

F-11

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 4. Related Party Transactions (cont.)

Extension Loans

The Company may extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination up to two times, each by an additional three months (for a total of 18 months to complete a Business Combination). In order to extend the time available for the Company to consummate a Business Combination, the Sponsor or its affiliates or designees must deposit into the Trust Account $1,000,000 ($0.10 per Public Share), on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline, up to an aggregate of $2,000,000. Any such payments would be made in the form of a loan. The terms of the loan in connection with the loan have not yet been negotiated. If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, the Company will not repay such loans.

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, private placement securities (and underlying securities) and units that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of the Company’s securities held by them pursuant to a registration rights agreement. These holders are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company register such securities for sale under the Securities Act. In addition, these holders have “piggy-back” registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, I-Bankers may not exercise its demand and “piggyback” registration rights after five and seven years, respectively, after the effective date of the registration statement for the Public Offering and may not exercise its demand rights on more than one occasion.

Business Combination Marketing Agreement

The Company has engaged I-Bankers in connection with its business combination to assist it in holding meetings with stockholders to discuss the potential business combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce it to potential investors that are interested in purchasing its securities in connection with its initial business combination, assist it in obtaining stockholder approval for the business combination and assist it with its press releases and public filings in connection with the business combination. The scope of engagement excludes identifying and/or evaluating possible acquisition candidates. Pursuant to the Company’s agreement with I-Bankers, the marketing fee payable to I-Bankers will be 2.75% of the gross proceeds of the Public Offering. However, if the Company has not consummated its business combination within 12 months from the closing of the Public Offering and the Sponsor elects to extend such period to consummate a business combination by an additional three months and, pursuant to the trust agreement, deposits $1,000,000 (or up to $1,150,000 depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised) into the trust account, then the marketing fee payable to I-Bankers will be reduced to 1.75% of the gross proceeds of the Public Offering.

Representative’s Shares

On August 11, 2020, the Company issued an aggregate of 35,000 Representative’s Shares to the underwriters, in connection with their services as underwriters for the IPO. The underwriters have agreed not to transfer, assign, or sell any of Representative’s Shares until the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination. In addition, the underwriters agreed (i) to waive their redemption rights with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination and (ii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Representative’s Shares if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. Based on the IPO price of $10.00 per Unit, the fair value of the 35,000 Common shares was $350,000, which was an expense of the IPO resulting in a charge directly to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the IPO.

The shares have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of the effectiveness of the registration statement of the Company in connection with the IPO, pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g)(1). Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g)(1), these securities

will not be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement, nor may they be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement except to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the offering and their bona fide officers or partners.

Representative’s Warrants

On August 11, 2020, the Company issued an aggregate of 500,000 Representative’s Warrants, exercisable at $12.00 per share, to the underwriters in connection with their services as underwriters for the IPO. The Representative’s Warrants may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, at any time during the period commencing on the later of the first anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement of the Company and the closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination and terminating on the fifth anniversary of such effectiveness date. The underwriters have each agreed that neither it nor its designees will be permitted to exercise the warrants after the five-year anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement. The Company accounted for the 500,000 warrants as an expense of the IPO resulting in a charge directly to stockholders’ equity. The fair value of Representative’s Warrants was estimated to be approximately $1,086,000 (or $2.172 per warrant) using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of the Representative’s Warrants granted to the underwriters was estimated as of the date of grant using the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 31.5%, (2) risk-free interest rate of 0.29%, share price at $10.00 with a strike price at $12.00 and (3) expected life of five years.

The Representative’s Warrants and such shares purchased pursuant to the Representative’s Warrants have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of the effectiveness of the registration statement pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g)(1). Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g)(1), these securities will not be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 360 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement, nor may they be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement except to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the IPO and their bona fide officers or partners. The Representative’s Warrants grant to holder’s demand and “piggyback” rights for periods of five and seven years, respectively, from the effective date of the registration statement with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of the Common stock issuable upon exercise of the Representative’s Warrants. The Company will bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the securities, other than underwriting commissions, which will be paid for by the holders themselves. The exercise price and number of Common stock issuable upon exercise of the Representative’s Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, or the Company’s recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the Representative’s Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of Common stock at a price below its exercise price.

NOTE 5. Stockholders’ Equity

Class A Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 380,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share.

Class B Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share.

On April 30, 2020, the Company issued 2,875,000 shares of Class B common stock, including an aggregate of up to 375,000 shares of Class B common stock that were subject to forfeiture, to the Company by the initial stockholders for no consideration to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised in full, so that the initial stockholders will collectively own 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock after the Public Offering (excluding the Private Placement Units).

VISTAS MEDIA ACQUISITION COMPANY INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 5. Stockholders’ Equity (cont.)

Stockholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. Holders of Class A common stock and holders of Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders except as required by law.

The Class B common stock will automatically convert into Class A common stock at the time of the initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination, the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the total number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding after such conversion (after giving effect to any redemptions of shares of Class A common stock by Public Stockholders and excluding the Private Placement Units), including the total number of shares of Class A common stock issued, or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, excluding any shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities or rights exercisable for or convertible into shares of Class A common stock issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any Private Placement Units issued to the Sponsor, officers or directors upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, provided that such conversion of Founder Shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.

Preferred Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. As of June 30, 2021, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Warrants — Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional Public Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Public Warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Proposed Public Offering; provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act). The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days, after the closing of a Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the Public Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A common stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless” basis, and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but the Company will be required to use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue-sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain

NOTE 5. Stockholders’ Equity (cont.)

limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the Sponsor, I-Bankers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the Sponsor, I- Bankers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

The Company may call the Public Warrants for redemption:

A.     in whole and not in part;

B.     at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

C.     upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and

D.     if, and only if, the last sales price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share on each of 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement.

If the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of its initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the initial stockholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the initial stockholders or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Class A common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day after the day on which the Company consummates the initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the Warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price of the Warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

NOTE 6. Fair Value Instruments

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal

assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

Level 1:      Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2:      Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3:      Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2021 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

Derivative Warrant Liability

The Warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liability on the Company’s balance sheet. The warrant liability is measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with any subsequent changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liability in the Company’s statement of operations.

Initial Measurement and Subsequent Measurement

The Company established the initial fair value for the Warrants on August 11, 2020, the date of the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The company used a Monte Carlo simulation model to value the Public Warrants and a Black-Scholes model to value the Private Warrants.

On June 30, 2021, the Company used NASDAQ trading price of warrants for valuing the Public Warrants and used Black-Scholes model to value the Private Warrants.

The key inputs used into the Monte Carlo simulation and the Black-Scholes models used for warrant valuation from initial valuation till June 30, 2021 are detailed below:

NOTE 7. Merger Agreement

On March 3, 2021, Vistas Media Acquisition Company Inc. (“VMAC” or the “Company”) entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Anghami, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Anghami”), Anghami Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Anghami (“Pubco”), Anghami Vista 1, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Vistas Merger Sub”), and Anghami Vista 2, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Anghami Merger Sub”), pursuant to which (i) the Company will merge with and into Vistas Merger Sub, with the Company surviving the merger and continuing as a subsidiary of Pubco, with each outstanding share of the Company converting into the right to receive one share of Pubco and each outstanding warrant of the Company converting into warrants to purchase shares of Pubco on the same terms (the “Vistas Merger”), and (ii) Anghami will merge with and into Anghami Merger Sub, with Anghami surviving the merger and continuing as a subsidiary of Pubco and Anghami’s shareholders receiving shares of Pubco (the “Anghami Merger”). Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination”), Anghami and the Company will continue to exist as wholly-owned subsidiaries of Pubco.

The Business Combination implies an initial pro-forma enterprise valuation of the combined company of approximately $220 million. Upon the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), Anghami’s shareholders will be entitled to receive either all stock consideration or a combination of cash and stock consideration with an aggregate value of $180 million.

The stock consideration payable to Anghami’s shareholders will be an amount of shares of Pubco equal to (a) $180 million in enterprise value minus the cash consideration paid to such shareholders (if any), divided by (b) $10.00.

Anghami shareholders will receive cash consideration only if the available cash (as further described below) exceeds $50,000,000, in which case the cash consideration will be calculated as the lesser of (i)(A) such available cash minus the outstanding indebtedness of Pubco for borrowed money with a maturity date of more than one year as of the Closing multiplied by (B) 0.3, or (ii) the available cash minus such indebtedness referred to in clause (i)(A) above minus $50,000,000. The available cash at Closing will be calculated by (i) adding the amount available to be released from the Company’s trust account, after taking into account redemptions by the Company’s stockholders, in addition to any cash or cash equivalents of the Company and the net proceeds of private placements of shares of the Company’s common stock to occur immediately prior to the Closing, for which the Company currently has commitments of $40 million, and (ii) subtracting transaction expenses of the Company and Anghami related to the Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the cash consideration payable to Anghami shareholders will be reduced, and shareholders will receive a proportional increase in stock consideration at a price of $10.00 per share, by the minimum amount necessary for Pubco to satisfy the “substantiality” test of Treasury Regulation 1.367(a)-3(c)(3)(iii), but if such “substantiality” test cannot be met if the cash consideration is reduced to zero (with the proportional increase in stock consideration) then no such reduction in cash consideration will be made.

NOTE 7. Merger Agreement (cont.)

Pubco’s board of directors will consist of eleven individuals allocated among three classes, and a majority of those directors will qualify as independent directors under applicable rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”). Immediately after the Closing, the following individuals will be designated and appointed to the Pubco board of directors: (i) three directors designated by the Company prior to the Closing, including at least two who qualify as independent directors under Nasdaq rules, with none appointed to the first class, two appointed to the second class and one appointed to the third class; (ii) six directors designated by Anghami prior to the Closing, including at least three who qualify as independent directors under Nasdaq rules, with one appointed to the first class, two appointed to the second class, and three appointed to the third class; and (iii) two directors designated by Shuaa Capital psc (“Shuaa”), both appointed to the first class and at least one of whom will qualify as an independent director under Nasdaq rules. In the event the number of directors on the board changes prior to the Closing, the rights to designate directors will be adjusted such that Anghami will retain the ability to designate a majority of the directors.

The parties to the Business Combination Agreement have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Business Combination Agreement, including, among others, covenants with respect to the conduct of the Company and Anghami and its subsidiaries prior to the closing of the Business Combination.

The closing of the Business Combination is subject to certain customary conditions, including, among other things: (i) the approval by VMAC’s stockholders of the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination, and certain other actions related thereto; (ii) Anghami and the Company each receiving evidence that Pubco qualifies as a foreign private issuer pursuant to Rule 3b-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the Closing; (iii) VMAC having at least $40 million of cash at the closing of the Business Combination, consisting of cash held in its trust account and the aggregate amount of cash actually invested in (or contributed to) the Company pursuant to the Subscription Agreements (as defined below), after giving effect to redemptions of public shares, if any, but before giving effect to the consummation of the closing of the Business Combination and the payment of Anghami’s and VMAC’s outstanding transaction expenses as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement; (iv) the shares of Class A common stock of Pubco to be issued in connection with the Business Combination having been approved for listing on Nasdaq subject only to official notice of issuance thereof and (v) the execution of the Sponsor Agreement Amendment and the Registration Rights Agreement.

The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated by VMAC or Anghami under certain circumstances, including, among others, (i) by written consent of VMAC and Anghami, (ii) by either VMAC or Anghami if the closing of the Business Combination has not occurred on or before December 31, 2021, and (iii) by VMAC or Anghami if VMAC has not obtained the required approval of its stockholders.

The Business Combination Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the parties to the Business Combination Agreement made to each other as of the date of the Business Combination Agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the Business Combination Agreement. The Business Combination Agreement has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms and is not intended to provide any other factual information about VMAC, Anghami or any other party to the Business Combination Agreement. In particular, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the Business Combination Agreement, which were made only for purposes of the Business Combination Agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties (including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Business Combination Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts) and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those

NOTE 8. Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, other than as described below or in these financial statements, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

On July 15, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Truist Agreement”) with Truist Securities, Inc. (“Truist”), pursuant to which Truist shall act (i) as placement agent in connection with the Company’s proposed issuance, offering and sale of private placement securities (the “PIPE Offering”) in connection with a potential business combination between the Company and Anghami and (ii) as capital markets advisor in connection with the potential business combination. As compensation for Truist’s services, the Company agreed to pay Truist (i) a placement fee equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds raised in the PIPE Offering (the “Placement Fee”), payable at closing and (ii) an advisory fee equal to $750,000 (the “Advisory Fee”), payable upon the closing of a business combination and creditable against the Placement Fee. Truist also received a 36-month right of first refusal, commencing on the expiration or termination of Truist’s services under the Truist Agreement (other than a termination for cause), (i) to act as lead managing underwriter, lead initial purchaser or lead placement agent for any financing involving debt or equity securities of the Company and as lead arranger of any syndicated loan financing undertaken on behalf of the Company or any of its affiliates (in each case acting as sole or joint active book runner with lead left placement and entitled to at least 50% of the aggregate economics payable to the underwriters, initial purchasers, placement agents or arrangers in the applicable transaction), (ii) exclusive financial advisor to the Company or its applicable affiliates in the event of any acquisition of a business (other than a business combination) by the Company or any of its affiliates, (iii) financial advisor to the Company or its applicable affiliate in the event

NOTE 8. Subsequent Events (cont.)

of any significant disposition, sale, merger or other extraCommon corporate transaction (other than a business combination) involving the Company or any its affiliates or any of its or their assets, securities or businesses, whether by way of purchase or sale of securities or assets, merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, split-off or otherwise.

On August 10, 2021, an aggregate of $1,000,000 (the “Extension Payment”) was deposited by Vistas Media Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor”), into the trust account of the Company for the Company’s public stockholders, representing $0.10 per public share, which enables the Company to extend the period of time it has to consummate its Initial Business Combination by three months to November 11, 2021 (the “Extension”). The Extension is the first of up to two three-month extensions permitted under the Company’s governing documents and provides the Company with additional time to complete its proposed Initial Business Combination with Anghami, Inc.

The Sponsor loaned the Extension Payment to the Company in order to support the Extension and caused the Extension Payment to be deposited in the Company’s trust account for its public stockholders. In connection with the Extension Payment, the Company issued to Sponsor an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) having a principal amount equal to the amount of the Extension Payment. The Note bears no interest and will be due and payable (subject to the waiver against trust provisions) on the earlier of (i) the date on which the Business Combination is consummated and (ii) the date of the liquidation of the Company.

The following events constitute events of default under the Note:

1.      Failure to make the required payments under the Note when due;

2.      The voluntary liquidation of the Company; and

3.      The involuntary bankruptcy of the Company

The Note was issued pursuant to an exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

October 13, 2021, Anghami publicly filed a Registration Statement on Form F-4, including a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, with the SEC.

On November 09, 2021, an aggregate of $1,000,000 (the “Second Extension Payment”) was deposited by the Sponsor into the trust account of the Company for the Company’s public stockholders, representing $0.10 per public share, which enables the Company to extend the period of time it has to consummate its Initial Business Combination by three months to February 11, 2022 (the “Second Extension”). The Second Extension is the second of two three-month extensions permitted under the Company’s governing documents and provides the Company with additional time to complete its proposed Initial Business Combination with Anghami, Inc.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Vistas Media Acquisition Company Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Vistas Media Acquisition Company Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2020, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the period from March 27, 2020 (date of inception) through December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from March 27, 2020 (date of inception) through December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Restatement of Financial Statements

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued a public statement entitled Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”) (the “Public Statement”) on April 12, 2021, which discusses the accounting for certain warrants as liabilities. The Company previously accounted for its warrants as equity instruments. Management evaluated its warrants against the Public Statement, and determined that the warrants should be accounted for as liabilities. Accordingly, the 2020 financial statements have been restated to correct the accounting and related disclosure for the warrants.

In addition, management has re-evaluated the Company’s application of ASC 480-10-S99-3A to its accounting classification of the redeemable shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Public Shares”), issued as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) on August 11, 2020. Historically, a portion of the Public Shares was classified as permanent equity to maintain net tangible assets greater than $5,000,000 on the basis that the Company will consummate its initial business combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001. Pursuant to such re-evaluation, the Company’s management has determined that the Public Shares include certain provisions that require classification of the Public Shares as temporary equity regardless of the minimum net tangible assets required to complete the Company’s initial business combination.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(AS RESTATED)

NOTE 1. Description of Organization and Business Operations

Vistas Media Acquisition Company Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on March 27, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, the Company intends to focus its search for an initial business combination on companies that are positioned to benefit directly from the growth of digitally available content. While the Company’s efforts to identify a target will not be limited to any particular media and entertainment segment or geography, it intends to focus its search on content, film, post -production and/or visual effects facilities, animation, streaming, augmented and virtual reality, music, digital media, gaming and e-sports. The Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

The Company’s sponsor is Vistas Media Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity for the period from March 27, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“Public Offering” or “IPO”), which is described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company anticipates it will generate income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO and placed in Trust Account (as defined below) as described below.

Public Offering

The Company completed the sale of 10,000,000 units (the “Units”) at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit in the Public Offering on August 11, 2020. Simultaneously with the closing of the Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (the “Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 295,000 private placement units (the “Private Placement Units”) and 500,000 private placement warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”). The Sponsor purchased 220,000 Private Placement Units and I-Bankers Securities, Inc. (“I-Bankers”) purchased 75,000 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit. The Sponsor also purchased 500,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Warrant. The sale of the 10,000,000 Units in the Public Offering (the “Public Units”) generated gross proceeds of $100,000,000, less underwriting commissions of $1,750,000 (1.75% of the gross proceeds of the Public Offering) and other offering costs of $593,806. The Private Placement Units and Private Placement Warrants generated $3,450,000 of gross proceeds.

Each Unit consists of one (1) share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Class A Common Stock”) and one (1) redeemable warrant to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock (collectively, with the Private Placement Warrants and the warrants underlying the Private Placement Units, the “Warrants”). One Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share.

The Company also granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional Units at the Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts.

The Trust Account

Upon completion of the Public Offering, $100,000,000 of proceeds were held in the Company’s trust account at UBS Financial Services Inc., with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee (the “Trust Account”), and will be invested in permitted United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act that invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Unless and until the Company completes the Initial Business Combination, it may pay its expenses only from the net proceeds of the Public Offering and the Private Placement held outside the Trust Account.

NOTE 1. Description of Organization and Business Operations (cont.)

Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes, the proceeds from the Public Offering may not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of: (i) the completion of the Initial Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its public shares if it does not complete the Initial Business Combination by August 11, 2021, 12 months from the closing of the Public Offering (or up to 18 months from the closing of the Public Offering if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a business combination); or (iii) the redemption of all of the Company’s public shares if the Company is unable to complete the Initial Business Combination by August 11, 2021, 12 months from the closing of the Public Offering (or up to 18 months from the closing of the Public Offering if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a business combination) (see Note 7) (at which such time up to $100,000 of interest shall be available to the Company to pay dissolution expenses), subject to applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the holders of the Company’s public shares (the “public stockholders”).

Initial Business Combination

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Public Offering and the Private Placement are intended to be generally applied toward consummating an Initial Business Combination. The Initial Business Combination must occur with one or more businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect an Initial Business Combination.

If the Company holds a stockholder meeting to approve the Initial Business Combination, a public stockholder will have the right to redeem its public shares for an amount in cash equal to its pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, including interest but less taxes payable. As a result, such shares of Class A common stock have been recorded at redemption amount and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Public Offering, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”

Pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, if the Company is unable to complete the Initial Business Combination by August 11, 2021, 12 months from the closing of the Public Offering (or up to 18 months from the closing of the Public Offering if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a business combination) (see Note 7), the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares (as defined below) held by them if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within 12 months of the closing of the Public Offering (or up to 18 months from the closing of the Public Offering if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a

business combination). However, if the Sponsor or any of the Company’s directors or officers acquires shares of Class A common stock in or after the Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such public shares if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within the prescribed time period.

In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company after an Initial Business Combination the Company’s remaining stockholders are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision is made for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. The Company’s stockholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights. The Company will provide its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, under the circumstances, and, subject to the limitations, described herein.

NOTE 2. Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements (Part A)

On April 12, 2021, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC Staff”) issued a public statement entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “SEC Staff Statement”). In the SEC Staff Statement, the SEC Staff expressed its view that certain terms and conditions common to SPAC warrants may require the warrants to be classified as liabilities on the SPAC’s balance sheet as opposed to being treated as equity. The Company previously accounted for the Warrants as component of equity.

In response to the SEC Statement, the Company reevaluated the accounting treatment of (i) the 10,000,000 redeemable warrants (the “Public Warrants”) that were included in the Units issued by the Company in its IPO and (ii) the 1,295,000 redeemable warrants that were issued to the Company’s sponsor in a private placement that closed concurrently with the closing of the IPO. The Company previously accounted for the Warrants as components of equity.

In further consideration of the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging; Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, the Company concluded that the terms of the Warrant Agreement preclude the Warrants from being accounted for as components of equity. As the Warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, management concluded that the Warrants should be recorded as derivative liabilities on the Balance Sheet and measured at fair value at issuance (on the date of the consummation of the IPO) and at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, with changes in fair value recognized in the Statement of Operations in the period of the change. In accordance with ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments”, the Company has concluded that a portion of the transaction costs which directly related to the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, which were previously charged to stockholders’ equity, should be allocated to the Warrants based on their relative fair value against total proceeds, and recognized as transaction costs in the statement of operations.

The Company’s management and the audit committee of the Company’s Board of Directors concluded that it is appropriate to restate (i) the Company’s previously issued audited financial statements as of December 31, 2020. The restated classification and reported values of the Warrants as accounted for under ASC 815-40 are included in the financial statements herein.

Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements (Part B)

In addition, has re-evaluated the Company’s application of ASC 480-10-S99-3A to its accounting classification of the redeemable shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Public Shares”), issued as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) on August 11, 2020. Historically, a portion of the Public Shares was classified as permanent equity to maintain net tangible assets greater than $5,000,000 on the basis that the Company will consummate its initial business combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001. Pursuant to such re-evaluation, the Company’s management has determined that the Public Shares include certain provisions that require classification of the Public Shares as temporary equity regardless of the minimum net tangible assets required to complete the Company’s initial business combination.

In connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements, as of September 30, 2021, management determined it should revise its previously reported financial statements. The Company determined, effective with the closing of the Company’s Initial Public Offering and shares sold pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment, it had improperly allocated its Class A Common stock subject to possible redemption between temporary equity and permanent equity. The Company previously determined the Class A Common stock subject to possible redemption classified as temporary equity, to be equal to the redemption value of $10.00 per Class A Common stock while also taking into consideration a redemption cannot result in net tangible assets being less than $5,000,001. Accordingly, the Company classified a portion of its Class A Common stock within permanent equity. Effective with these quarterly financial statements, Management determined that the Class A Common stock issued

NOTE 2. Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements (cont.)

during the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment can be redeemed or become redeemable subject to the occurrence of future events considered outside the Company’s control. Therefore, management concluded that temporary equity should include all Class A Common stock subject to possible redemption, resulting in the Class A Common stock subject to possible redemption being equal to their redemption value. As a result, management has noted a reclassification adjustment related to temporary equity and permanent equity. This resulted in an adjustment to the initial carrying value of the Class A Common stock subject to possible redemption with the offset recorded to additional paid-in capital (to the extent available), accumulated deficit and Class A Common stock.

In connection with the change in presentation for the Class A Common stock subject to redemption, the Company also revised its earnings per share calculation to allocate net income (loss) evenly to Class A and Class B Common stock. This presentation contemplates a Business Combination as the most likely outcome, in which case, both classes of Common stock share pro rata in the income (loss) of the Company. The changes to the earnings per share calculation is considered to be immaterial.

There has been no change in the Company’s total assets, liabilities or operating results.

The impact of the revision on the Company’s financial statements is reflected in the following table:

NOTE 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(AS RESTATED)

NOTE 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised, and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit of $250,000. As of December 31, 2020, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Net Income Per Common Stock

Net income per stock is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of Common stock outstanding during the period. At December 31, 2020, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into Common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted income per share is the same as basic income per share for the period presented.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Deferred tax assets were deemed immaterial as of December 31, 2020.

NOTE 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2020. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of December 31, 2020. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company’s management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Warrant Liabilities

The Company accounts for the Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40 under which the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjust the Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statement of operations. The Private Warrants (and the Public Warrants for periods where no observable traded price was available) are valued using a Modified Black Scholes Model. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units, the Public Warrant quoted market price was used as the fair value as of each relevant date.

NOTE 4. Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On April 30, 2020, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 2,875,000 shares of Class B common stock (the “Founder Shares”) in exchange for a capital contribution of $25,000, or approximately $0.009 per share. On July 1, 2020, the Sponsor transferred 225,000 Founder Shares to PFVI, LLC for a purchase price of $1,500,000. On August 6, 2020, the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 334,000 Founder Shares to members of its management team and 172,500 Founder Shares to certain of its affiliates.

The Founder Shares are identical to the shares of common stock included in the Units and holders of Founder Shares have the same stockholder rights as public stockholders, except that (i) the Founder Shares and the shares of common stock underlying the Private Placement Units are subject to certain transfer restrictions, and (ii) the Sponsor has entered into a letter agreement, pursuant to which it has agreed (A) to waive its redemption rights with respect to the Founder Shares, and the shares of common stock underlying the Private Placement Units and the Public Units in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (B) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares and the shares of common stock underlying the Private Placement Units if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within 12 months from the closing of the Public Offering (or up to 18 months from the closing of the Public Offering if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a Business Combination).

With certain limited exceptions, the Founder Shares are not transferable, assignable or saleable (except to the Company’s officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with the Sponsor, each of whom will be subject to the same transfer restrictions) until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of an initial Business Combination or earlier of (B) subsequent to the Company’s initial Business Combination, (i) if the last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends,

reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, or (ii) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Private Placements

In addition, the Sponsor purchased, pursuant to written agreements, an aggregate of 220,000 Private Placement Units at $10.00 per Private Placement Unit and 500,000 Private Placement Warrants at $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant for aggregate proceeds of $2,700,000. This purchase took place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the completion of the Initial Public Offering. This issuance was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

Administrative Service Fee

The Company has agreed, commencing on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination or its liquidation, to pay the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. As of December 31, 2020, the Company has paid $85,000 which is presented as general and administrative expense on the accompanying statement of operations.

Related Party Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, officers and directors or their respective affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, or converted upon consummation of a Business Combination into additional Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit (the “Working Capital Units”). As of December 31, 2020, no Working Capital Loans have been issued.

Extension Loans

The Company may extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination up to two times, each by an additional three months (for a total of 18 months to complete a Business Combination). In order to extend the time available for the Company to consummate a Business Combination, the Sponsor or its affiliates or designees must deposit into the Trust Account $1,000,000 ($0.10 per Public Share), on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline, up to an aggregate of $2,000,000. Any such payments would be made in the form of a loan. The terms of the loan in connection with the loan have not yet been negotiated. If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, the Company will not repay such loans. As of December 31, 2020, company has nil loan balance.

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, private placement securities (and underlying securities) and units that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of the Company’s securities held by them pursuant to a registration rights agreement. These holders are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company register such securities

for sale under the Securities Act. In addition, these holders have “piggy-back” registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, I-Bankers may not exercise its demand and “piggyback” registration rights after five and seven years, respectively, after the effective date of the registration statement for the Public Offering and may not exercise its demand rights on more than one occasion.

Business Combination Marketing Agreement

The Company has engaged I-Bankers in connection with its business combination to assist it in holding meetings with stockholders to discuss the potential business combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce it to potential investors that are interested in purchasing its securities in connection with its initial business combination, assist it in obtaining stockholder approval for the business combination and assist it with its press releases and public filings in connection with the business combination. The scope of engagement excludes identifying and/or evaluating possible acquisition candidates. Pursuant to the Company’s agreement with I-Bankers, the marketing fee payable to I-Bankers will be 2.75% of the gross proceeds of the Public Offering. However, if the Company has not consummated its business combination within 12 months from the closing of the Public Offering and the Sponsor elects to extend such period to consummate a business combination by an additional three months and, pursuant to the trust agreement, deposits $1,000,000 (or up to $1,150,000 depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised) into the trust account, then the marketing fee payable to I-Bankers will be reduced to 1.75% of the gross proceeds of the Public Offering.

Representative’s Shares

On August 11, 2020, the Company issued an aggregate of 35,000 Representative’s Shares to the underwriters, in connection with their services as underwriters for the IPO. The underwriters have agreed not to transfer, assign, or sell any of Representative’s Shares until the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination. In addition, the underwriters agreed (i) to waive their redemption rights with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination and (ii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Representative’s Shares if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. Based on the IPO price of $10.00 per Unit, the fair value of the 35,000 Common stock was $350,000, which was an expense of the IPO resulting in a charge directly to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the IPO.

The shares have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of the effectiveness of the registration statement of the Company in connection with the IPO, pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g)(1). Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g)(1), these securities will not be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement, nor may they be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement except to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the offering and their bona fide officers or partners.

Representative’s Warrants

On August 11, 2020, the Company issued an aggregate of 500,000 Representative’s Warrants, exercisable at $12.00 per share, to the underwriters in connection with their services as underwriters for the IPO. The Representative’s Warrants may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, at any time during the period commencing on the later of the first anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement of the Company and the closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination and terminating on the fifth anniversary of such effectiveness date. The underwriters have each agreed that neither it nor its designees will be permitted to exercise the warrants after the five-year anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement. The Company

NOTE 4. Related Party Transactions (cont.)

accounted for the 500,000 warrants as an expense of the IPO resulting in a charge directly to stockholders’ equity. The fair value of Representative’s Warrants was estimated to be approximately $1,086,000 (or $2.172 per warrant) using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of the Representative’s Warrants granted to the underwriters was estimated as of the date of grant using the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 31.5%, (2) risk-free interest rate of 0.29%, share price at $10.00 with a strike price at $12.00 and (3) expected life of five years.

The Representative’s Warrants and such shares purchased pursuant to the Representative’s Warrants have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of the effectiveness of the registration statement pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g)(1). Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g)(1), these securities will not be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 360 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement, nor may they be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement except to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the IPO and their bona fide officers or partners. The Representative’s Warrants grant to holder’s demand and “piggyback” rights for periods of five and seven years, respectively, from the effective date of the registration statement with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of the Common stock issuable upon exercise of the Representative’s Warrants. The Company will bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the securities, other than underwriting commissions, which will be paid for by the holders themselves. The exercise price and number of Common stock issuable upon exercise of the Representative’s Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, or the Company’s recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the Representative’s Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of Common stock at a price below its exercise price.

NOTE 5. Stockholders’ Equity

Class A Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 380,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share.

Class B Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share.

On April 30, 2020, the Company issued 2,875,000 shares of Class B common stock, including an aggregate of up to 375,000 shares of Class B common stock that were subject to forfeiture, to the Company by the initial stockholders for no consideration to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised in full, so that the initial stockholders will collectively own 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock after the Public Offering (excluding the Private Placement Units).

Stockholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. Holders of Class A common stock and holders of Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders except as required by law.

The Class B common stock will automatically convert into Class A common stock at the time of the initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination, the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the total number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding after such conversion (after giving effect to any redemptions of shares of Class A common stock by Public Stockholders and excluding the Private Placement Units), including the total number of shares of Class A common stock issued, or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities

or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, excluding any shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities or rights exercisable for or convertible into shares of Class A common stock issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any Private Placement Units issued to the Sponsor, officers or directors upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, provided that such conversion of Founder Shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.

Preferred Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. As of December 31, 2020, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Warrants — Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional Public Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Public Warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Proposed Public Offering; provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act). The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days, after the closing of a Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the Public Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A common stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless” basis, and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but the Company will be required to use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue-sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the Sponsor, I-Bankers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the Sponsor, I- Bankers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

The Company may call the Public Warrants for redemption:

A.     in whole and not in part;

B.     at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

C.     upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and

F-37

NOTE 5. Stockholders’ Equity (cont.)

D.     if, and only if, the last sales price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share on each of 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement.

If the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of its initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the initial stockholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the initial stockholders or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Class A common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day after the day on which the Company consummates the initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the Warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price of the Warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

NOTE 6. Fair Value Instruments

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

Level 1:      Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2:      Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3:      Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

NOTE 6. Fair Value Instruments (cont.)

There were no assets measured on a recurring basis at fair value at December 31, 2020. At December 31, 2020, there were cash and marketable securities held in trust in the amount of $100,049,603 with a fair value hierarchy of Level 1 that was used as valuation inputs by the Company to determine such fair value.

Derivative Warrant Liability

The Warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liability on the Company’s balance sheet. The warrant liability is measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with any subsequent changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liability in the Company’s statement of operations. The Warrants were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy at the measurement dates due to the use of unobservable inputs.

Initial Measurement and Subsequent Measurement

The Company established the initial fair value for the Warrants on August 11, 2020, the date of the closing of the Initial Public Offering, and subsequent fair value as of December 31, 2020. The Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, using an Options Pricing Model (the “OPM”).

The Company utilizes the OPM to value the Warrants at each reporting period, with any subsequent changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations. The estimated fair value of the warrant liability is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in the OPM are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its shares of common stock based on historical volatility that matches the expected remaining life of the Warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the Warrants. The expected life of the Warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at zero. The aforementioned warrant liability is not subject to qualified hedge accounting.

NOTE 7. Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, other than as described below or in these financial statements, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Merger Agreement

On March 3, 2021, Vistas Media Acquisition Company Inc. (“VMAC” or the “Company”) entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Anghami, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Anghami”), Anghami Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Anghami (“Pubco”), Anghami Vista 1, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Vistas Merger Sub”), and Anghami Vista 2, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Anghami Merger Sub”), pursuant to which (i) the Company will merge with and into Vistas Merger Sub, with the Company surviving the merger and continuing as a subsidiary of Pubco, with each outstanding share of the Company converting into the right to receive one share of Pubco and each outstanding warrant of the Company converting into warrants to purchase shares of Pubco on the same terms (the “Vistas Merger”), and (ii) Anghami will merge with and into Anghami Merger Sub, with Anghami surviving the merger and continuing as a subsidiary of Pubco and Anghami’s shareholders receiving shares of Pubco (the “Anghami Merger”). Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination”),

Anghami and the Company will continue to exist as wholly owned subsidiaries of Pubco.

The Business Combination implies an initial pro-forma enterprise valuation of the combined company of approximately $220 million. Upon the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), Anghami’s shareholders will be entitled to receive either all stock consideration or a combination of cash and stock consideration with an aggregate value of $180 million.

The stock consideration payable to Anghami’s shareholders will be an amount of shares of Pubco equal to (a) $180 million in enterprise value minus the cash consideration paid to such shareholders (if any), divided by (b) $10.00.

Anghami shareholders will receive cash consideration only if the available cash (as further described below) exceeds $50,000,000, in which case the cash consideration will be calculated as the lesser of (i)(A) such available cash minus the outstanding indebtedness of Pubco for borrowed money with a maturity date of more than one year as of the Closing multiplied by (B) 0.3, or (ii) the available cash minus such indebtedness referred to in clause (i)(A) above minus $50,000,000. The available cash at Closing will be calculated by (i) adding the amount available to be released from the Company’s trust account, after taking into account redemptions by the Company’s stockholders, in addition to any cash or cash equivalents of the Company and the net proceeds of private placements of shares of the Company’s common stock to occur immediately prior to the Closing, for which the Company currently has commitments of $40 million, and (ii) subtracting transaction expenses of the Company and Anghami related to the Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the cash consideration payable to Anghami shareholders will be reduced, and shareholders will receive a proportional increase in stock consideration at a price of $10.00 per share, by the minimum amount necessary for Pubco to satisfy the “substantiality” test of Treasury Regulation 1.367(a)-3(c)(3)(iii), but if such “substantiality” test cannot be met if the cash consideration is reduced to zero (with the proportional increase in stock consideration) then no such reduction in cash consideration will be made.

Pubco’s board of directors will consist of eleven individuals allocated among three classes, and a majority of those directors will qualify as independent directors under applicable rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”). Immediately after the Closing, the following individuals will be designated and appointed to the Pubco board of directors: (i) three directors designated by the Company prior to the Closing, including at least two who qualify as independent directors under Nasdaq rules, with none appointed to the first class, two appointed to the second class

F-40

NOTE 7. Subsequent Events (cont.)

and one appointed to the third class; (ii) six directors designated by Anghami prior to the Closing, including at least three who qualify as independent directors under Nasdaq rules, with one appointed to the first class, two appointed to the second class, and three appointed to the third class; and (iii) two directors designated by Shuaa Capital psc (“Shuaa”), both appointed to the first class and at least one of whom will qualify as an independent director under Nasdaq rules. In the event the number of directors on the board changes prior to the Closing, the rights to designate directors will be adjusted such that Anghami will retain the ability to designate a majority of the directors.

The parties to the Business Combination Agreement have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Business Combination Agreement, including, among others, covenants with respect to the conduct of the Company and Anghami and its subsidiaries prior to the closing of the Business Combination.

The closing of the Business Combination is subject to certain customary conditions, including, among other things: (i) the approval by VMAC’s stockholders of the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination, and certain other actions related thereto; (ii) Anghami and the Company each receiving evidence that Pubco qualifies as a foreign private issuer pursuant to Rule 3b-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the Closing; (iii) VMAC having at least $40 million of cash at the closing of the Business Combination, consisting of cash held in its trust account and the aggregate amount of cash actually invested in (or contributed to) the Company pursuant to the Subscription Agreements (as defined below), after giving effect to redemptions of public shares, if any, but before giving effect to the consummation of the closing of the Business Combination and the payment of Anghami’s and VMAC’s outstanding transaction expenses as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement; (iv) the shares of Class A common stock of Pubco to be issued in connection with the Business Combination having been approved for listing on Nasdaq subject only to official notice of issuance thereof and (v) the execution of the Sponsor Agreement Amendment and the Registration Rights Agreement.

The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated by VMAC or Anghami under certain circumstances, including, among others, (i) by written consent of VMAC and Anghami, (ii) by either VMAC or Anghami if the closing of the Business Combination has not occurred on or before December 31, 2021, and (iii) by VMAC or Anghami if VMAC has not obtained the required approval of its stockholders.

The foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The Business Combination Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the parties to the Business Combination Agreement made to each other as of the date of the Business Combination Agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the Business Combination Agreement.

In connection with the Company’s entrance into the Business Combination Agreement, Pubco will also enter into a Lock-Up Agreement (the “Lock-Up Agreement”) with certain of Anghami’s shareholders, pursuant to which, among other things, such shareholders will agree to not transfer any shares of Anghami held by them prior to 6 months after the Closing, subject to certain permitted transfers and a potential early release of such restrictions as set forth therein.

The foregoing description of the Lock-Up Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the form of Lock-Up Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.5 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

Promissory Note

On August 10, 2021, an aggregate of $1,000,000 (the “Extension Payment”) was deposited by Vistas Media Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor”), into the trust account of the Company for the Company’s public stockholders, representing $0.10 per public share, which enables the Company to extend the period of time it has to consummate its Initial Business Combination by three months to November 11, 2021 (the “Extension”). The Extension is the first of up to two three-month extensions permitted under the Company’s governing documents and provides the Company with additional time to complete its proposed Initial Business Combination with Anghami, Inc.

The Sponsor loaned the Extension Payment to the Company in order to support the Extension and caused the Extension Payment to be deposited in the Company’s trust account for its public stockholders. In connection with the Extension Payment, the Company issued to Sponsor an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) having a principal amount equal to the amount of the Extension Payment. The Note bears no interest and will be due and payable (subject to the waiver against trust provisions) on the earlier of (i) the date on which the Business Combination is consummated and (ii) the date of the liquidation of the Company.

ANGHAMI

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the six months period ended June 30, 2021

1       CORPORATE INFORMATION

Anghami (the “Company” or the “Parent”) is a limited liability Company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on February 14, 2012. Anghami owns and controls multiple music streaming and technology companies in Middle East and North Africa region “MENA”. Anghami’s registered head office is in Ugland House, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, P.O. Box 309.

The principal activity of the Company is digital entertainment and online streaming including music, podcasts, music videos, and live events. The Company has a freemium business model whereby premium (paying) users get unlimited access to online streaming content, ads free streaming experience, and unlimited downloads. The ad-supported users do not pay subscription fees and are provided with limited access to on-demand online streaming content without the ability to download content. The Company secures its content via licenses with labels and independent artists.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) for the period ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries.

2       FUNDAMENTAL ACCOUNTING CONCEPTS

For the six months period ended June 30, 2021, the Group has incurred a loss of USD 6,407,884 (2020: USD 3,856,248) and as at June 30, 2021, the Group has accumulated losses of USD 50,543,306 (December 31, 2020: USD 44,228,530) and negative working capital (i.e., excess of current liabilities over current assets) of USD 19,564,824 (December 31, 2020: USD 14,516,283). The Group acknowledges that there is a risk that the quantum and timing of cash flows sufficient to sustain operations may not be achievable and that management forecasts regarding cash flow from operations may prove inaccurate. The continuation of the Group’s activities is dependent on the availability of adequate financial support. All of the above represents a material uncertainty that casts substantial doubt upon the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern absent subsequent additional funding.

On August 5, 2021, the Company signed a working capital loan of USD 1 million from MIDDLE EAST VENTURE FUND II L.P, which was received on October 6, 2021 and USD 3.5 million from SHUAA Capital psc which was received on August 9, 2021 (the “Working Capital Loans”). The Working Capital Loans have a 12 month tenor, and the Group has the right to repay the Working Capital Loans in cash at any time during this tenor. The Working Capital Loans have a three-month grace period after which an annual interest rate of 12% will be accrued. At maturity date, the lenders have the option to either (i) demand the repayment of the principal and the accrued interest at maturity or (ii) convert the Working Capital Loans at a discount to the fair market value of the Group.

Based on management’s forecasts, the day-to-day operations and expenditure requirements as described above are anticipated to be funded by cash generated through the ongoing operations, new loans funding and existing funds received from the convertible notes.

The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Group will continue as a going concern which is contingent upon the Group receiving the proceeds from the capital raise targeted in 2021 from the capital markets transaction with VMAC (see Note 3). Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, the amounts and classification of liabilities, or any other adjustments that might result in the event the Group is unable to continue as a going concern.

3       MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS

Group Structure

On 3 March 2021, the Company and Vistas Media Acquisition Company (VMAC, a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (or SPAC) listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange under the ticker VMAC) jointly announced that they had entered into a business combination agreement. The transaction is a reverse merger between VMAC and a

F-49

ANGHAMI

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the six months period ended June 30, 2021

3       MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS (cont.)

subsidiary of the Company whereby the shareholders of the Company will become the majority shareholders of a newly established entity, Anghami Inc. VMAC will become a subsidiary of Anghami Inc., and the Company will become a subsidiary of Anghami Inc. The shareholders of VMAC will become shareholders of Anghami Inc. Upon the completion of the merger, which is slated for the fourth quarter of 2021, Anghami Inc. intends to list its shares on Nasdaq while the Company and VMAC will remain subsidiaries of Anghami Inc., the entity that is intended to be publicly listed. As part of the business combination agreement and upon the completion of the merger, Anghami Inc. will receive a minimum cash amount of USD 40,000,000 through a fully underwritten PIPE (Private Investment in Public Equity) investment/private placement.

In March 2021, Anghami KSA’s ownership was transferred to Anghami FZ LLC. Anghami KSA was previously directly held by the Shareholders under common control.

Management is currently in the process of completing the transfer of ownership of Anghami for Digital Content (Anghami’s entity in Egypt) to become fully owned subsidiary of Anghami FZ LLC.

Lebanon Operating Environment

The Group has limited operations in Lebanon that has been witnessing, since the last quarter of 2019, severe events that have set off an interconnected fiscal, monetary and economic crisis as well as a deep recession.

The unofficial capital controls, economic recession and hyperinflation, resulted in a multitude of exchange rates whereby the official rate set by the Lebanese Central Bank (Banque Du Liban) still stands at 1,507.5 LBP/U.S Dollar while parallel unofficial exchange rates significantly depreciated the Lebanese pounds (“LBP”) against U.S. Dollar.

Commercial transactions in Lebanese pounds are recognized based on the official rate of 1,507.5 LBP/U.S Dollar set by the Lebanese Central Bank (Banque Du Liban), as this the contractually agreed exchange rate.

Translation of all monetary assets and liabilities and foreign currency transactions at the official exchange rate does not always represent a reasonable estimate of expected cash flows in Lebanese pounds. This includes cash flows generated/used from the realization of such assets or the payment of such liabilities at the date of the transactions or at the date of the financial statements, as such transactions are settled at prevailing market rates. The monetary assets and liabilities in Lebanese pounds and the related foreign exchange losses, were reflected in these financial statements at exchange rate of 11,691.31 LBP/U.S Dollar, which is the market rate sourced from a reputable independent source (https://lirarate.org) that collects data on actual Lebanese Pounds to U.S Dollar exchange transactions and posts the average exchange rate. The Group has recognised a net foreign currency loss of USD 404,339 during the six months period ended June 30, 2021 (2020: loss USD 294,702) against trade and other receivables, contract assets, trade and other payables and cash and bank balances.

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant volatility, uncertainty, and economic disruption. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to impact the Group’s business and financial condition, and results of operations will depend on numerous evolving factors that the Group may not be able to accurately predict and that will vary by market, including the duration and scope of the pandemic, the impact of the pandemic on economic activity, and actions taken by governments, businesses, and individuals in response. The economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected, and could continue to adversely affect, the levels of advertising spending and consumer spending on discretionary items, which in turn adversely affect the Group’s ad sales and subscriber revenue. Limitations on travel, “stay at home” orders, social distancing requirements, and other governmental actions implemented in response to COVID-19 led to changes as to how the users consume content. Although there has been some return to pre-COVID-19 levels in the Group’s users’ engagement with the service of the Group, any failure to predict or address changes in the customers’ engagement with the Group’s service arising from the COVID-19 pandemic could adversely affect the business. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, artists and other content creators have experienced delays or interruptions in their ability to create and release new content

on the platform. The decrease in the amount or quality of content available on Group’s platform could adversely affect user engagement and harm the Group’s business. An extended period of remote working by the employees could introduce new operational challenges, including the ability to launch products and services or expand the Group’s service to additional geographic markets. Any such effect could cause or contribute to the risks and uncertainties enumerated in this report and could affect the Group’s business.

4       BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

4.1    Basis of preparation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months period ended June 30, 2021 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2020. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year or for any other subsequent interim period.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollar (USD) which is also the functional and presentational currency of the Group and each of its subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements have been rounded off to the nearest USD, except when otherwise indicated. Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year-end exchange rates are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income within foreign exchange loss, net.

4.2    New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Group

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of January 1, 2021. The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

Several amendments apply for the first time in 2021, but do not have an impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group.

4.3    Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements including significant judgements made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation and uncertainty were the same as those applied by the Group in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020, except for the adoption of the following new standards, interpretations and amendments effective as of January 1, 2021. The Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

•        Interest Rate Benchmark Reform: Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16

This amendment had no impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group.

16     CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITEMENTS

16.1  Contingencies

There exist a few pending legal actions, proceedings, and claims that may be instituted or asserted against the Group. These may include but are not limited to matters arising out of alleged infringement of intellectual property; alleged violations of consumer regulations; employment-related matters; and disputes arising out of supplier and other contractual relationships. As a general matter, the music and other content made available on the Group’s service are licensed to the Group by various third parties. Many of these licenses allow rights holders to audit the Group’s royalty payments, and any such audit could result in disputes over whether the Group has paid the proper royalties. If such a dispute were to occur, the Group could be required to pay additional royalties, and the amounts involved could be material. The Group expenses legal fees as incurred. The Group records a provision for contingent losses when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. An unfavorable outcome to any legal matter, if material, could have an adverse effect on the Group’s operations or its financial position, liquidity, or results of operations. Based on management’s assessment, currently there are no material cases, claims or proceedings of such quantum which require provision or disclosure as contingent liabilities.

17     FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial instruments comprise financial assets and financial liabilities.

Financial assets consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, contract assets and amount due from related party. Financial liabilities consist of trade payables, lease liability, overdrafts, convertible notes and amount due to related party.

The fair values of financial instruments are not materially different from their carrying values, other than financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss which is disclosed in note 13 to the consolidated financial statements.

18     SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On August 3, 2021, the Company filed with Securities and Exchange Commission Form F-4 in respect of the merger approval with Vistas Media Acquisition Company (VMAC) as disclosed in Note 3.

On August 16, 2021, the Company converted the maturing outstanding convertible notes from MEVP and SAMENA. MEVP received 1,160 shares while SAMENA received 2,204 shares. SAMENA and MEVP notes have matured on April 2, 2021, and no interest was accrued between maturity date and conversion date. Anghami valuation was determined at USD 180 million as set in the VMAC business combination. Accordingly, conversion occurred at valuation of USD 132 million representing 20% discount on the USD 165 million valuation cap in line with the convertible note terms.

On August 5, 2021, the Company signed a working capital loan of USD 1 million from MIDDLE EAST VENTURE FUND II L.P, which was received on October 6, 2021 and USD 3.5 million from SHUAA Capital psc which was received on August 9, 2021 (the “Working Capital Loans”). The Working Capital Loans have a 12 months tenor, and the Group has the right to repay the Working Capital Loans in cash at any time during this tenor. The Working Capital Loans have three-month grace period after which an annual interest rate of 12% will be accrued. At maturity date, the lenders have the option to either (i) demand the repayment of the principal and the accrued interest at maturity or (ii) convert the Working Capital Loans at a discount to the fair market value of the Group.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Anghami

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Anghami and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

The Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2.1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, has a working capital deficiency, and has stated that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 2.1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Restatement of 2019 Financial Statements

As discussed in Note 3.6 to the consolidated financial statements, the 2019 consolidated financial statements have been restated to correct misstatements, which resulted in the inclusion of the January 1, 2019 balance sheet.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ Ernst & Young

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2019.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Group has incurred a loss of USD 5,743,190 (2019: USD 6,946,393) and as at December 31, 2020, the Group has accumulated losses of USD 44,228,530 (2019: USD 38,642,582) and negative working capital (i.e. excess of current liabilities over current assets) of USD 14,516,283 (2019: USD 14,089,295). The Group acknowledges that there is a risk that the quantum and timing of cash flows sufficient to sustain operations may not be achievable and that management forecasts regarding cash flow from operations may prove inaccurate. The continuation of the Group’s activities is dependent on the availability of adequate financial support. All of the above represents a material uncertainty that casts substantial doubt upon the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern absent subsequent additional funding.

Since its last capital raise in December 2016, the Group raised USD 10.15 million in notes to fund operations. The funding of this debt was provided in four convertible notes. Existing shareholders (Middle East Venture Fund II L.P. (“MEVP”) provided the convertible note 1 for USD 1.5 million and convertible note 3 for USD 650 thousands while Samena Beats Holdings (“SAMENA”) provided convertible note 2 for USD 3 million. Convertible note 4 was provided by Alkonost Investment Ltd. for USD 5 million. The Group’s cash raised during 2019 and 2020 and cost cutting initiatives enabled the Group to sustain operations and grow revenues and subscribers. The Group intends to utilize funds from Convertible note 4 in growth and funding day-to-day operations until the next capital raise. On the longer run, a major capital raise targeted in 2021 from capital markets is expected to fund growth operations over the next 24-30 months. See the discussion regarding the contemplated business combination transaction with Vistas Media Acquisition Company Inc. (“VMAC”) (the “Transaction). in “Subsequent Events” (note 27). Regardless of the closing of such transaction, the Group anticipates raising capital during the current or following fiscal year to fund growth operations.

The Group is currently in the final stages of securing a USD 4.5 million interest free loan (the “Loan”) from SHUAA Capital PSC. and MEVP (collectively the “Lenders”) which is critical for its short-term working capital requirements. The Group has received USD 600 thousand out of the planned funding on July 1, 2021 on the basis of the agreed terms between all parties. The Loan is repayable within 10 business days following the closing of the Transaction. If the Transaction is not completed within a period of three months following the effective date of the Loan, or if within this three month period the Transaction is cancelled for any reason whatsoever, the Loan will accrue interest at 12% per annum and mature after 12 months from the Loan effective date. The Lenders will have the option to either (i) demand the repayment of the principal and the accrued interest at maturity or (ii) convert the Loan at a discount to the fair market value. The parties will mutually agree to the conversion terms at a later stage.

Based on management’s forecasts, the day-to-day operations and expenditure requirements as described above are anticipated to be funded by cash generated through the ongoing operations, new loan funding and existing funds received from convertible notes.

2.1    FUNDAMENTAL ACCOUNTING CONCEPT (cont.)

The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Group will continue as a going concern which is contingent upon the Group receiving the proceeds from the Loan and the Transaction. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, the amounts and classification of liabilities, or any other adjustments that might result in the event the Group is unable to continue as a going concern.

Capital management

For the purpose of the Group’s capital management, capital includes issued capital, convertible notes, share premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the parent. The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to maximise shareholder value.

The Group manages its capital structure and make adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. The Group monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is ‘net debt’ divided by total capital plus net debt. The Group includes within net debt, interest bearing loans and borrowings, trade and other payables, less cash and cash equivalents.

2.2    MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS IN THE PERIOD

COVID-19 was first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China in late 2019. Since then it has spread rapidly, infecting people around the world and causing a substantial number of deaths across the globe. Almost all countries that have been significantly affected have introduced measures to try to contain the spread of the virus, including border closures and restricting movement of their citizens. The measures have resulted in the closure of numerous businesses in those countries and widespread job losses. To address these factors, many governments have introduced significant support programmes for qualifying citizens and businesses. It is currently unclear how long these restrictions will be in place and what their ultimate impact will be on global and local economies.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant volatility, uncertainty, and economic disruption. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to impact the Group’s business and financial condition, and results of operations will depend on numerous evolving factors that the Group may not be able to accurately predict and that will vary by market, including the duration and scope of the pandemic, the impact of the pandemic on economic activity, and actions taken by governments, businesses, and individuals in response. The economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected, and could continue to adversely affect, the levels of advertising spending and consumer spending on discretionary items, which in turn adversely affect the Group’s ad

sales and subscriber revenue. Limitations on travel, “stay at home” orders, social distancing requirements, and other governmental actions implemented in response to COVID-19 led to changes as to how the users consume content. Although there have been some return to pre-COVID-19 levels in the Group’s users’ engagement with the service of the Group, any failure to predict or address changes in the customers’ engagement with the Group’s service arising from the COVID-19 pandemic could adversely affect the business. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, artists and other content creators have experienced delays or interruptions in their ability to create and release new content on the platform. The decrease in the amount or quality of content available on Group’s platform could adversely affect user engagement and harm the Group’s business. An extended period of remote working by the employees could introduce new operational challenges, including the ability to launch products and services or expand the Group’s service to additional geographic markets. Any such effect could cause or contribute to the risks and uncertainties enumerated in this report and could affect the Group’s business.

LEBANON OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

Operating environment of the Group

The Group has limited operations in Lebanon that has been witnessing, since the last quarter of 2019, severe events that have set off an interconnected fiscal, monetary and economic crisis as well as deep recession that have reached unprecedent levels.

Particular situation of the Group

The unofficial capital controls, economic recession and hyperinflation, resulted in a multitude of exchange rates whereby the official rate set by the Lebanese Central Bank (Banque Du Liban) still stands at 1,507.5 LBP/U.S Dollar while parallel unofficial exchange rates significantly depreciated the Lebanese pounds (“LBP”) against U.S. Dollar.

Commercial transactions in Lebanese pounds are recognized based on the official rate of 1,507.5 LBP/U.S Dollar set by the Lebanese Central Bank (Banque Du Liban), as this is the contractually agreed exchange rate.

Translation of all monetary assets and liabilities and foreign currency transactions at the official exchange rate does not always represent a reasonable estimate of expected cash flows in Lebanese pounds. This includes cash flows generated/used from the realization of such assets or the payment of such liabilities at the date of the transaction or at the date of the financial statements, as such transactions are settled at prevailing market rates. The monetary assets and liabilities in Lebanese pounds and the related foreign exchange losses, were reflected in these financial statements at an exchange rate of 8,286.42 LBP/U.S Dollar, which is the market rate sourced from a reputable independent source (https://lirarate.org) that collects data on actual Lebanese Pounds to U.S Dollar exchange transactions and posts the average exchange rate. The Group has recognised a net foreign currency loss of USD 422,022 during the year ended December 31, 2020 against trade and other receivables, contract assets, trade and other payables and cash and bank balances.

3       BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

3.1    Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements of the Group comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain convertible notes, employees’ share based payment and warrants which have been measured at fair value, and lease liabilities, which have been measured at present value.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the application of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the accounting policies. The areas involving a greater degree of judgment or complexity, or areas in which assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements, are disclosed in Note 3.5.

ANGHAMI

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

3       BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

The consolidated financial statements provide comparative information in respect of the previous periods. On January 1, 2019, the Group adopted IFRS 16, Leases, using the modified retrospective approach. See Note 3.3 for further information on comparability following the adoption.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollar (USD) which is also the functional and presentational currency of the Group. The Group has assessed the operation of each of its subsidiaries and determined that the functional currency of the subsidiaries is the same as the Group’s functional currency, as the subsidiaries operate as an extension of the Company since they lack the required autonomy and are dependent on the Company and sister companies in providing their services. The USD is considered the functional currency of the Group as it is the main currency that influences the Groups sales prices for services, cost of revenues, expenses and financing activities.

The consolidated financial statements have been rounded off to the nearest USD, except when otherwise indicated. Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year-end exchange rates are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income within foreign exchange loss, net.

3.2    Basis of consolidation

The Group financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as at December 31, each year. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of their acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that control ceases. The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. Intra-group balances and transactions, including unrealised profits arising from intra-group transactions, have been eliminated. Unrealized losses are eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Non-controlling interests represent the equity in subsidiaries that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Parent shareholders.

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:

•        Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee)

•        Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and

•        The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns

When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

•        The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee

•        Rights arising from other contractual arrangements

•        The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights

The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

Non-controlling interest represent the portion of profit or loss and net assets of subsidiaries not owned directly or indirectly by the Parent Group. Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

____________

*        Consolidation of entities under Parent control

The shares of Anghami KSA and Anghami for Digital Content (“ADC”) are held by employees as nominees on behalf of the Group. The Group has a binding and irrevocable nominee agreement with each nominee that enables the Group to:

(1)    control and direct all of Anghami KSA and ADC activities and enables the Group’s senior management and board of directors to make all operational and financial decisions and obliges the appointed nominees to strictly follow the Group’s directions and decisions;

(2)    exercise its power over all operating and financial decisions to receive all the rights, returns and obligations generated from Anghami KSA and ADC; and

(3)    control the ownership and transfer of the shares relating to Anghami KSA and ADC.

In March 2021, Anghami KSA’s ownership was fully transferred to Anghami FZ LLC.

The Group is currently in the process of transferring ADC’s ownership to Anghami FZ LLC. The transfer agreement between the current ADC nominees and Anghami FZ LLC was signed in 2021. The remaining steps to complete the ADC ownership transfer are: (1) registration of the new ADC shareholders information in the Egyptian stock exchange, (2) settlement of the required fees and taxes, (3) conducting a general assembly to confirm the transfer of ownership to Anghami FZ LLC and (4) amendment of the ADC’s articles of association to reflect the new shareholders information. Steps 1 and 2 above are procedural in nature and require certain regulatory approvals from the respective Egyptian authorities. Steps 3 and 4 above are internal within the Group’s control. The Group continues to control, manage, and receive all the rights, returns and obligations generated from ADC and account for ADC as a wholly owned subsidiary using the existing binding and irrevocable nominee agreement with each nominee.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

3       BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Set out below are the accounting policies of the Group upon adoption of IFRS 16, which have been applied from the date of initial application:

Applicable from January 1, 2019

The Group assess at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

Group Operations as a lessee

The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets.

Lease liabilities

At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. or as of January 1, 2019 for our lease agreements that existed prior to the adoption of IFRS 16. Our incremental borrowing rate is determined based on estimates and judgments, including our credit rating and a credit spread.

After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the in-substance fixed lease payments or a change in the assessment to purchase the underlying asset.

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases that are considered of low value (i.e., below USD 5,000, when new). Lease payments on short- term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Right-of-use assets (ROU)

The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:

 

•        Office spaces

 

5 years

If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Group at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.

F-73

Table of Contents

ANGHAMI

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

3       BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

The determination of whether an arrangement is (or contains) a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception of the lease. The arrangement is, or contains, a lease if fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset (or assets) and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset (or assets), even if that asset is (or those assets are) not explicitly specified in an arrangement.

Applicable before 1 January 2019

Group as a lessee (leases previously accounted for)

A lease is classified at the inception date as a finance lease or an operating lease. A lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to the Group is classified as a finance lease.

An operating lease is a lease other than a finance lease. Operating lease payments are recognised as an operating expense in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

3.4    Summary of significant accounting policies

Revenue recognition

Subscription revenue

The Group generates subscription revenue from the sale of the premium service in which customers can listen on-demand and offline. Premium services are sold directly to end users and through partners who are generally telecommunications companies that act as a payment gateway and collect payment for the stand-alone subscriptions from their end customers or bundle the subscription with their own services. The Group satisfies its performance obligation, and revenue from these services is recognized on a straight-line basis over the subscription period. Premium services are paid in advance. The Group assesses the facts and circumstances, including whether the partner is acting as a principal or agent, of all partner revenue arrangements and then recognizes revenues either gross or net.

Subscription revenue generated through premium partners is based on a per-subscriber rate in a negotiated partner agreement. Under these arrangements, a premium partner offers their end-users the ability to subscribe to the premium service as an add-on to their services. Payment is remitted to the Group through the premium partner. Premium partner services, whether recognized gross or net, have one material performance obligation, that being the delivery of the premium service. The service provided by the premium partners is to act as a payment gateway to collect the subscription fees and transfer it to the Group against receiving a fee calculated as a percentage of revenue collected. The Group has assessed each of its premium partner subscription revenue agreements and concluded that revenue should be recognized on a gross basis as the Group controls the music streaming service provided to the premium users and remains responsible to deliver the music streaming services at the agreed quality during the full subscription period; in addition, the Group has full discretion in determining the price of the music streaming services offered. The fees paid to the premium partner against the services provided by them is recognized as part of cost of revenue in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Additionally, the Group sells premium subscriptions to third party service providers who bundle the purchased premium subscriptions with other services and products they deliver to their end-users. Under this product, the third-party service providers are the Group’s customers and not their end-users. The Group’s only material performance obligation is the delivery of the music streaming service. The third-party service providers do not provide any services to the Group. The Group recognizes the revenue received from such third-party service providers over the sold premium subscriptions validity period.

Ad-Supported revenue

The Group’s advertising revenue is primarily generated through display, audio, and video advertising delivered through advertising impressions. The Group’s advertising revenue is generated through:

(1)    Agency Sales Channel: the Group entered into an arrangement with an advertising agency that sells ads campaigns to global and regional brands. These advertising arrangements are typically sold on a cost-per-thousand basis and are evidenced by an Insertion Order (“IO”) that specifies the terms of the arrangement such as the type of ad product, pricing, insertion dates, and number of impressions in a stated period. The advertising agency promotes the Group’s advertising products based on an pre-agreed sales commission based on generated revenue. The Group sets the pricing schedule for ads impressions and approves the ads before their display on the Anghami platform and remains responsible to deliver the advertising products to the advertising client. Advertising clients and advertising agency send for the Group’s approval the advertisement to be displayed on the Anghami platform and the IOs that specify the number of ads impressions, campaigns periods, and the agreed service fees.

(2)    Direct Sales Channel: the Group works directly with advertising clients. The Group’s sales team identifies and manages these advertising clients and approves their advertising campaigns sent via IOs which acts as a contract between the Group and the advertising clients.

(3)    Programmatic Advertising Channel: the Group generates Ad-Supported revenue through arrangements with certain advertising exchange platforms to distribute advertising inventory for purchase on a cost-per-thousand basis through their automated exchange. The Group has control over which ads to be displayed on it’s the Anghami platform, volumes and selection criteria.

Revenue is recognized over time based on the number of impressions delivered.

Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue consists predominantly of label and publishing costs related to content streaming, payment processing and agency fees. The Group incurs label and publishing costs paid to certain music record labels, music publishers, and other rights holders for the right to stream music to the Group’s users. Label and publishing costs are typically calculated using negotiated rates in accordance with license agreements and are based on either subscription and advertising revenue earned, user/usage measures, or a combination of these. The determination of the amount of the rights holders’ liability is complex and subject to a number of variables, including the revenue recognized, the type of content streamed and the country in which it is streamed, the product tier such content is streamed on, identification of the appropriate license holder, size of user base, ratio of Ad-Supported users to premium subscribers, and any applicable advertising fees and discounts, among other variables. Some rights holders have allowed the use of their content on the platform while negotiations of the terms and conditions are ongoing. In such situations, label and publishing costs are calculated using estimated rates. In certain jurisdictions, rights holders have several years to claim royalties for musical compositions and therefore estimates of the label and publishing payables are made until payments are made. The Group has certain arrangements whereby label and publishing costs are paid in advance or are subject to minimum guaranteed amounts. An accrual is established when actual label and publishing costs to be incurred during a contractual period are expected to fall short of the minimum guaranteed amounts. An accrual and expense are recognized when it is probable that the Group will make additional label and publishing payments under these terms. The expense related to these accruals is recognized in cost of revenue. Cost of revenue also includes payment processing fees for subscription revenue, server’s rental and other infrastructure costs, amortization of intangible assets, and expenses incurred to produce music content sold to brands and ads clients.

Selling and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses are primarily comprised of marketing campaigns on digital platforms, outdoor campaigns, advertising agency cost and cost of working with record labels and artists to promote the availability of new releases on the Group’s platform.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses are comprised primarily of employee compensation and benefits for functions such as accounting, analytics, legal, human resources, consulting fees, and other costs including facility and equipment costs, director fees, depreciation of property and equipment and the provision for employee share based compensations.

Income tax expense

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax is recognised on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, with the following exceptions:

Where the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss;

In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, where the timing of reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and

Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that a taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and carried forward tax credits or tax losses can be utilized.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax assets to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are expected to apply when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Current and deferred tax is charged or credited directly to other comprehensive income or equity if it relates to items that are credited or charged to, respectively, other comprehensive income or equity. Otherwise, income tax is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Share-based compensation

Employee share-based compensation

Employees of the Group receive remuneration in the form of share-based compensation transactions, whereby employees render services in consideration for equity instruments. The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees is determined by the fair value at the date of grant using an appropriate valuation model. The cost is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, together with a corresponding credit to other reserves in equity, over the period in which the service conditions are fulfilled.

The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions with employees at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The expense for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized at the beginning and end of that period, and is recognized in employee share-based compensation. When the terms of an equity-settled transaction award are modified, the minimum expense recognized is the expense as if the terms had not been modified, if the original terms of the award are met. An additional expense is recognized for modifications that increase the total fair value of the share-based compensation transaction or are otherwise beneficial to the grantee as measured at the date of modification. There were no modifications to any share-based compensation transactions during 2020, 2019, and 2018.

Share-based payment to service provider

The cost of other equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using an appropriate valuation model, further details of which are given in Note 16.

That cost is recognised in general and administrative expense (Note 7), together with a corresponding increase in equity (other capital reserves), over the period in which the service and, where applicable, the performance conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period). The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The expense or credit in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.

The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share-based compensation transactions are disclosed in Note 16.

Trade and other receivables

A trade receivable represents the Group’s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e. only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). Trade receivables are stated at original invoice amount less a provision for any uncollectible amount.

Contract assets and contract liabilities

Contract assets

A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. If the Group performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration that is conditional.

F-77

ANGHAMI

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

3       BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Contract liabilities

A contract liability is recognised if a payment is received or a payment is due (whichever is earlier) from a customer before the Group transfers the related subscription services. Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Group performs under the contract (i.e., transfers control of the services to the customer).

Property and equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets at the following rates:

Furniture and fixtures

 

3 – 5 years

Office and computer equipment

 

5 years

General installations

 

5 years

The carrying values of property and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets are written down to their recoverable amount.

Expenditure incurred to replace a component of an item of equipment that is accounted for separately is capitalized and the carrying amount of the component that is replaced is written off. Other subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases future economic benefits of the related item of property and equipment. All other expenditure is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as the expense is incurred.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost, subsequently intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

The Group recognizes internal application and content development costs as intangible assets only when the following criteria are met: the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset exists, there is an intent to complete and an ability to use or sell the intangible asset, the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits, there are adequate resources available to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset, and there is the ability to reliably measure the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

Intangible assets with finite lives are typically amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, typically 5 years. Internally developed musical content is amortized on a double declining basis over the three-year estimated useful lives with a 5% salvage value. Intangibles are assessed for impairment whenever there is an impairment indication like change in technology, consumer behavior and adverse economic conditions. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset are reviewed at least annually. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization of intangible assets is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the cost of revenue category consistent with the function of the intangible assets.

An intangible asset is derecognised upon disposal (i.e., at the date the recipient obtains control) or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising upon derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Financial instruments

i).      Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

The Group’s financial assets are comprised of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, due from related parties and contract assets. All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.

The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group’s business model for managing them.

Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at the transaction price determined under IFRS 15 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’.

In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost, it needs to give rise to cash flows that are ‘solely payments of principal and interest’ (“SPPI”) on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level.

The Group’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both.

For more information on receivables, refer to Note 13.

Subsequent measurement

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in two categories:

a)      Amortised cost

b)      Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Amortized cost

A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as FVTPL:

—     The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

—     The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest rate (‘EIR’) method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets mandatorily required to be measured at fair value. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives, are also classified

F-79

Table of Contents

ANGHAMI

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

3       BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the consolidated statement of financial position at fair value with net changes in fair value recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Impairment of financial assets

The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.

ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).

For trade receivables, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs whereby it recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs for each ageing bracket. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.

The Group considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 365 days past due. However, in certain cases, the Group may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Group. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.

Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire; or it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial asset.

Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits with financial institutions, and balances with original maturity of less than three months, which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in fair value, bank overdrafts are included in cash and cash equivalent for the consolidated statement of cash flows.

ii).     Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

The Group’s financial liabilities are comprised of trade and other payables and accruals, due to related parties and other liabilities, including bank overdraft, lease liabilities and convertible notes. Financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and in the case of loans and borrowings fair value of the consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs.

F-80

Table of Contents

ANGHAMI

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

3       BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Subsequent measurements

After initial recognition, financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method or fair value through profit or loss. The effective interest method amortization is included in finance costs and fair value changes are included in the finance costs or finance income in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Certain convertible notes include embedded derivatives designated at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently remeasured at fair value.

Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

Derecognition

The Group derecognized a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled, or expire.

Gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income when the financial liabilities are derecognized

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term.

Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Convertible notes that include an embedded derivative designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in IFRS 9 are satisfied. After initial recognition, financial liabilities at fair value through the profit or loss are subsequently re-measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period with changes in fair value recognized in finance costs or finance income in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The Group has designated the convertible notes 1 and 2 at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities at amortised cost (loans and borrowings)

This category generally applies to interest-bearing loans and borrowings, lease liabilities and certain convertible notes. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings, lease liabilities and certain convertible notes are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in the finance costs/income line item in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process. Amortised cost is calculated by considering any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR.

The EIR amortization s included as finance cost in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Employees’ end of service benefits

The Group makes contributions to the Lebanese National Social Security Fund and provides end of service benefits to its employees in accordance with the Lebanese labour law. The entitlement to these benefits is based upon the employees’ length of service, the employees’ salaries, the Group’s contributions to the National Social Security Fund and other requirements outlined in the Lebanese labour law. The expected costs of these benefits are accrued over the period of employment. Other subsidiaries account for these benefits in accordance with their local labour laws.

F-81

ANGHAMI

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

3       BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Accounts payable and accruals

Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether billed by the supplier or not.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

Interest income and expense

Interest income and expense are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income using the effective interest method. The ‘effective interest rate’ is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to:

•        the gross carrying amount of the financial asset; or

•        the amortised cost of the financial liability.

When calculating the effective interest rate for financial instruments other than purchased or originated credit-impaired assets, the Group estimates future cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument, but not ECL.

The calculation of the effective interest rate includes transaction costs and fees and points paid or received that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. Transaction costs include incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of a financial asset or financial liability.

Share capital

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

Current versus non-current classification

The Group presents assets and liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position based on current/non-current classification. An asset is current when it is:

—     Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle

—     Held primarily for the purpose of trading

—     Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period

F-82

Table of Contents

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

3       BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Or

—     Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is current when:

—     It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle

—     It is held primarily for the purpose of trading

—     It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period

Or

—     There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period

The Group classifies all other liabilities as non-current.

3.5    Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities, and equity in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying disclosures. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events.

Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

The areas where judgements, assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are:

Judgements

Determining the lease term of contracts with renewal and termination options — Group as lessee

The Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised.

The Group has several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. The Group applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease. That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise either the renewal or termination.

F-83

Table of Contents

ANGHAMI

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

3       BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Uncertain tax positions

In determining the amount of current and deferred income tax, the Group takes into account the impact of uncertain tax positions and whether additional taxes, interest or penalties may be due. This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of judgments about future events. New information may become available that causes the Group to change its judgment regarding the adequacy of existing tax liabilities. Such changes to tax liabilities will impact tax expense in the period that such a determination is made.

Estimates and assumptions

Leases — Estimating the incremental borrowing rate

As most of the Group’s lease agreements do not provide an implicit rate of return, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. For the Group’s lease agreements that existed prior to the adoption date, the Group determined its incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2019. The Group’s incremental borrowing rate is determined based on estimates and judgments, including the credit rating of the Group’s leasing entities and a credit spread. See Note 17.

Share-based payments

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees and non-employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is estimated using an appropriate model or by reference to a market transaction which required the determination of the appropriate inputs, specifically the probability of vesting. These assumptions and models used for estimating the fair value of share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 16.

Agreements and arrangements

The Group’s agreements and arrangements with rights holders for the content used on its platform are complex. Some rights holders have allowed the use of their content on the platform while negotiations of the terms and conditions are ongoing. In certain jurisdictions, rights holders have several years to claim royalties for musical composition and therefore estimates of the royalty accruals are based on available information and historical trends. The determination of label and publishing cost accruals requires complex IT systems and a significant volume of data as well as involves significant judgements and estimates of the amounts to be paid.

Useful lives of intangible assets

The Group’s management determines the estimated useful lives of its intangible assets for calculating amortization. This estimate is determined after considering the expected economic life of the asset. Management reviews the residual value and useful lives annually and future amortization charges would be adjusted where the management believes the useful lives differ from previous estimates.

Convertible notes

The fair value of the Group’s convertible notes are estimated using valuation techniques using inputs based on management’s judgment and conditions that existed at each reporting date for determination of the market rate used to calculate the fair value of liability.

3.6    Restatement of financial statements

Subsequent to the issuance of the Group’s 2019 financial statements, the Group’s management identified errors in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and determined that the 2019 financial statements should be restated. The errors comprised the following:

Use of incorrect discount rate for leases

At the adaption of IFRS 16, the Group determined its incremental borrowing rate at 10% in respect of its office lease liability based on an imprecise bank quote and the corresponding right of use asset instead of using its incremental borrowing rate of 25.4%. The correction of this error resulted in a decrease in the lease liability and the right-of-use asset. There correction also resulted in a decrease in depreciation expense and finance costs for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Incorrect classification of convertible notes

As of December 31, 2019, and January 1, 2019, the Group had incorrectly accounted for convertible notes, as financial liability at amortized cost with no assessment made for day 1 fair value using market rates. Further, certain notes have embedded derivates due to caps on market value upon conversion to equity which should have been recognized at fair value through profit and loss with changes in fair value reported in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income at each reporting date in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 9. The correction of these errors resulted an increase in convertible notes liability and corresponding amounts for interest expense and fair value changes recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Incorrect provision for share based payments

The Group has vested shares program which represent two schemes with different maturities. In IFRS 2, such share-based payments that vest in instalments are sometimes referred to as ‘graded’ vesting. IFRS 2 requires such an award to be treated as separate awards or plans, on the grounds that the different vesting periods will mean that the different tranches of the award have different fair values. The Group incorrectly calculated reserves in respect of these schemes from inception which resulted in understatement of the other capital reserves. These corrections resulted in an increase in the share based payment reserves as of January 1, 2019 and for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Contract liabilities (deferred revenue)

The Group did not account for deferred revenue on its subscription revenues. The correction of these errors resulted in increase in accumulated losses as of January 1, 2019 and decrease in revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Incorrect capitalization of application development costs

The Group incorrectly capitalised costs in respect of new features and enhancements which did not meet the recognition criteria per the requirements of IAS 38. The correction of these errors resulted increase in accumulated losses as of January 1, 2019 and increase in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Incorrect determination of useful lives of property and equipment

The Group incorrectly estimated useful lives of its property and equipment for calculating depreciation on general installations and furniture and fixtures over a useful life of 15 years and 12 years respectively which was considered significantly longer than normal useful life of such assets. The useful lives were reassessed and concluded to be 5 years for both general installations and furniture and fixtures. These corrections resulted in an increase in accumulated losses as of January 1, 2019 and for the year ended December 31, 2019.

F-85

Marketing advance

The Group did not correctly amortize marketing advance of USD 291,569 over an appropriate period which was paid to an advertising agency in 2016. The correction of this error resulted in increase to accumulated losses as of January 1, 2019.

Accrual of label costs

In certain agreements with labels, the group had paid minimum guarantee advance amounts which can be recouped over the terms of agreement. If the advance is not fully recouped and no extension is granted by the labels, the remaining amount left on those minimum guarantee needs to be recorded as expenses. On the completion of the terms of certain agreements, the group did not correctly assess the net settlement position of minimum guaranteed amounts and used the advances against recoupment from subsequent agreement term instead of expensing them. The correction of this error resulted in increase in cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Accrual of publishing rights

In certain jurisdictions, rights holders have several years to claim royalties for musical composition and therefore estimates of the royalty accruals are based on available information and historical trends. The Group did not accrue for all such royalty accruals for which negotiations had been initiated in 2018 which was required to be estimated based on the stage of the negotiation with each right holder and available information. The correction of this error resulted in increase to accumulated losses as of January 1, 2019 and increase in cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Incorrect recognition of selling and marketing expenses

The Group incorrectly accrued for the cost of TV promotion shows in 2020 which occurred in 2019 per the contract with vendor. The correction of this error resulted in increase in selling and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Withholding taxes

The Group incorrectly accrued for withholding taxes payable on distributions made from Egypt to the Company. The correction of this error resulted in increase to accumulated losses as of January 1, 2019 and increase in income tax expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Reclassification of amortization expense

The Group included amortization expense in general and administrative expenses which should have been presented as part of cost of revenue due to its nature and function. The correction of this presentation error resulted in an increase to cost of revenue and corresponding decrease in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Reclassification of publishing rights royalties

The Group included publishing rights royalties in general and administrative expenses which should have been presented as part of cost of revenue due to its nature and function. The correction of this presentation error resulted in an increase to cost of revenue and corresponding decrease in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Reclassification of advertising agency fees

The Group included advertising agency fees in cost of revenue which should have been presented as part of selling and marketing expense due to its nature and function. The correction of this presentation error resulted in a decrease of cost of revenue and corresponding increase in selling and marketing expense for the year ended December 31, 2019.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

4       REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS (cont.)

Contract liabilities

The Group’s contract liabilities from contracts with customers consist only of deferred revenue. Deferred revenue is mainly comprised of subscription fees collected for services not yet performed and therefore the revenue has not been recognized. Revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed. As of December 31, 2020, and 2019, the Group had deferred revenue of USD 2,306,502 and USD 1,388,640 respectively. This balance will be recognized as revenue as the services are performed, which is generally expected to occur over a period up to a year.

Revenue recognized that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the years ended December 31, 2020, and 2019 is USD 1,388,640, and USD 1,042,773 respectively.

Contract assets

The Group’s contract assets from contracts with customers consist only of accrued income. Accrued income is mainly comprised of subscription fees due from customers not yet billed. Revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed. As of December 31, 2020, and 2019, the Group had accrued income of USD 1,272,390, and USD 1,536,932 respectively.

Due to significant devaluation of Lebanese pounds against U.S. Dollar, the value of contract assets denominated in Lebanese pounds dropped resulting in USD 143,964 in foreign exchange loss during the year ended December 31, 2020.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

10     INCOME TAX (cont.)

The Group’s exposure to taxes stems from:

(1)    Anghami KSA: established in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and is subject to 5.0% withholding tax and 20% corporate income tax;

(2)    Anghami for Digital Content (ADC): established in Egypt and is subject to 20.0% withholding tax and 22.5% corporate income; and

(3)    Digi Music SAL (Offshore): established in Lebanon and is subject to 7.5% withholding tax.

The majority of withholding tax (WHT) incurred on distributions from foreign jurisdiction are comprised of distributions made from subsidiary entities (mainly Anghami KSA and ADC) to the Company. In addition, WHT include taxes paid by the Group for income generated from Telco partners. These Telco partners operate in countries where the Group does not have an operating entity and has service agreements with Telco companies. The tax on services performed by non-resident company is deducted from the Group’s payments received from the Telco partners based on WHT rates for the respective countries which are established as part of the existing WHT regimes for each country. WHT has been presented with the income taxes in these consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

13     TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES (cont.)

As at December 31, 2020, the Group reclassed its bank balances in Lebanese Pounds equivalent of USD 161,525 to other financial assets due to significant devaluation of Lebanese Pounds against US Dollar caused by the ongoing political and economic situation in Lebanon.

Allowances for foreign currency losses represent translated differences between official and prevailing market rates on trade receivables and bank balances in Lebanese Pounds for the reasons disclosed above.

Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on terms of 30 to 90 days.

At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the ageing analysis of trade receivables is as follows:

Share-based payments

The share-based payments reserve is used to recognise the value of equity-settled share-based payments provided to employees (including key management personnel, as part of their remuneration) and service provider. Refer to Note 16 for further details of these plans.

16     SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

16.1 General employee share based payment plan (“GESP”)

The establishment of the plan was approved by shareholders. General employee share based payment plan (“GESP”) is designed to provide long-term incentives for key employees in the Group.

F-95

Table of Contents

ANGHAMI

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

16     SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS (cont.)

Under the GESP, the Group, at its discretion, may grant shares of the parent to employees, once the employee has completed two years or four years of service, depending upon the plan. Vesting of the share options is dependent on the completion of the service period of the employee. The fair value of shares granted is estimated at the date of grant using a revenue multiple approach or by reference to a market transaction and taking into account the terms and conditions on which the shares were granted. The model simulates the revenue multiple and compares it against the group of principal competitors or comparable companies, whilst applying an appropriate liquidity discount. It takes into account historical and expected probability of vesting. The current GESP program is a graded vesting shares ownership program with the following maturities:

1.      4.5 years maturity – 25% Vesting Rule: Whereby the employee gets 25% of the distributed shares for the first 18 months since the date of grant, and 25% are vested equally over the next three years.

2.      2 years maturity – 50% Vesting Rule: Whereby the employee gets 50% of the distributed evenly over two years.

GESPs are Class C non-voting preferred shares and are vested only when the employee completes the vesting period. Employee can only sell the vested shares to the Company or existing shareholders. The latter’s buying of GESP shares requires a board approval.

The shares are distributed evenly through tranches over the vesting period, where the first tranche is distributed upon the completion of service period of 18 months. The remaining three tranches are distributed at the end of each service year starting the end of the second year of service. Participation in the plan is at the board’s discretion and no individual has a contractual right to participate in the plan or receive any guaranteed benefits.

The Head of International Partnerships has been granted time vested and performance vested warrants, settled in class C shares of the Company. The Group granted 1,000-time vested warrants of which 250 were vested immediately and 250 vested each year over the next three years. Time vested warrants were granted in February 2018 and the beneficiary has the right to exercise the warrants anytime up to the maturity date on February 15, 2030. The underlying strike price to the time vested options is USD 2,000 per share. The Head of International Partnerships has allocated 200 of his time vested warrants to an international artist in May 2019. Additional 600 performance-based warrants are granted with same maturity date and can be exercised either when the Group achieves a USD 600 million valuation, USD 50 million in revenue, or completes a direct or an indirect initial public offering. The Group calculated provisions for warrants using American Options Model.

17     LEASES

The Group has lease contracts for various office spaces used in its operations. Leases of such office spaces generally have lease terms between 1 and 5 years. The Group’s obligations under its leases are secured by the lessor’s title to the leased assets. Generally, the Group is restricted from assigning and subleasing the leased assets.

There are several lease contracts that include extension and termination options and variable lease payments.

The Group also has certain leases of machinery with lease terms of 12 months or less and leases of office equipment with low value. The Group applies the ‘short-term lease’ and ‘lease of low-value assets’ recognition exemptions for these leases.

The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:

Level 1:      quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:      other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3:      techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.

21     CONVERTIBLE NOTES AND BORROWINGS (cont.)

During the year, there were no transfers between Level 1, 2 and 3 fair value measurements (2019: nil).

At December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, the convertible notes were valued at the assumed exchange to shares based on the fair value of the Company’s share price.

The key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the shares were as follows:

 

2020
USD

 

2019
USD

Revenue multiple used to estimate enterprise value

 

5.8

 

 

3.6

 

Liquidity discount rate

 

 

 

31.0

%

Market interest rate

 

13.9

%

 

26.0

%

The fair value was based on the following drivers:

1.      Revenue multiple: as set by market multiple at the prevailing dates.

2.      Liquidity discount: estimated at 31% for emerging markets companies with similar valuation. No liquidity discounted was assumed in 2020 as the Company’s shares are expected to be listed in 2021.

3.      Market rates: estimated as risk free plus credit default spread for a company with similar risk profile. In 2019, the Group was highly exposed to Lebanese market condition which resulted in high risk-free rate (calculated as the yield to maturity on Eurobonds). In 2020, the Group relocated to Abu Dhabi which decreased its risk profile thus resulting in lower risk-free rate and lower market interest rate. The credit spread is set for a highly speculative loan.

22     CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITEMNETS

22.1  Contingencies

There exist a few pending legal actions, proceedings, and claims or may be instituted or asserted against the Group. These may include but are not limited to matters arising out of alleged infringement of intellectual property; alleged violations of consumer regulations; employment-related matters; and disputes arising out of supplier and other contractual relationships. As a general matter, the music and other content made available on the Group’s service are licensed to the Group by various third parties. Many of these licenses allow rights holders to audit the Group’s royalty payments, and any such audit could result in disputes over whether the Group has paid the proper royalties. If such a dispute were to occur, the Group could be required to pay additional royalties, and the amounts involved could be material. The Group expenses legal fees as incurred. The Group records a provision for contingent losses when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. An unfavorable outcome to any legal matter, if material, could have an adverse effect on the Group’s operations or its financial position, liquidity, or results of operations. Based on management assessment, currently there are no material cases, claims or proceedings of such quantum which require provision or disclosure as contingent liabilities.

22.2  Commitments

The Group is subject to the following minimum guarantee amounts relating to the content on its service and publishing rights, the majority of which relate to minimum royalty payments associated with its license agreements for the use of licensed content and publishing royalties, as at December 31:

22     CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITEMNETS (cont.)

In addition to the minimum guarantees listed above, the Group is subject to various service agreements including a service agreement with Amazon for the use of Amazon servers and cloud as at December 31.

23     FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES

The Group’s principal financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings, lease liabilities, due to related parties, and trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Group’s operations. The Group’s principal financial assets include trade and other receivables, contract assets, due from related parties and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations.

The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks which are summarised below:

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk and commodity risk. The sensitivity analyses in the following sections relate to the position as at December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Interest rate risk

The Group is not exposed to any significant interest rate risk, all convertible notes have fixed interest rates.

Credit risk

The Group seeks to limit its credit risk with respect of customers by setting credit limits and monitoring outstanding receivables and maintaining positive cash flows.

With respect to credit risk arising from other financial assets of the Group, which comprise of bank balances and trade receivables, the Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counterparty, with the maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. The Group seeks to limit its credit risk to banks by only dealing with reputable banks and financial institutions.

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk comprises of transaction and statement of financial position risk. Transaction risk relates to the Group’s cash flow being adversely affected by a change in the exchange rates of foreign currencies against U.S. Dollars. Statement of financial position risk relates to the risk of the Group’s monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies acquiring a lower or higher value, when translated into US Dollars, as a result of currency movements.

The Group is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations on its transactions in foreign currencies, mainly in Egyptian and Lebanese Pounds. As the UAE Dirham and Saudi Riyal are pegged to the US Dollar, balances in these currencies are not considered to represent significant currency risk. The Group’s principle foreign currency risk arises from Egyptian and Lebanese Pounds denominated transaction of which the balance was USD 1,749,641 (2019: USD 1,382,126). The net position in Lebanese Pounds at December 31, 2020 is LBP 777,678,316, LBP 223,650,258 at December 31, 2019 or USD 515,873 and USD 148,358, respectively, at the official exchange rate. The net position in Egyptian Pounds at December 31, 2020 is EGP 21,936,397, and EGP 17,263,874 at December 31, 2019 or USD 61,688 and USD 47,955, respectively.

25     EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS)

Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed using the treasury stock method to the extent that the effect is dilutive by using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares and potential shares during the period. The Group’s potential shares consist of incremental shares issuable upon (1) the assumed exercise of warrants, (2) the assumed vesting of unvested shares under GESP program, and (3) conversion of the outstanding convertible notes, excluding all anti-dilutive shares outstanding during the period. The Group used the if-converted method to calculate the dilutive impact for the above convertible instruments and adjusted the numerator for changes in profit or loss.

The following table reflects the loss and share data used in the basic and diluted loss per share calculations:

27     SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On 3 March 2021, the Company and Vistas Media Acquisition Company (VMAC, a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (or SPAC) listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange under the ticker VMAC) jointly announced that they had entered into a business combination agreement. The transaction is a reverse merger between VMAC and a subsidiary of the Company whereby the shareholders of the Company will become the majority shareholders of a newly established entity, Anghami Inc. VMAC will become a subsidiary of Anghami Inc., and the Company will become a subsidiary of Anghami Inc. The shareholders of VMAC will become shareholders of Anghami Inc. Upon the completion of the merger, which is slated for the third quarter of 2021, Anghami Inc. intends to list its shares on Nasdaq while the Company and VMAC will remain subsidiaries of Anghami Inc., the entity that is intended to be publicly listed. As part of the business combination agreement and upon the completion of the merger, Anghami Inc. will receive a minimum cash amount of USD 40,000,000 through a fully underwritten PIPE (Private Investment in Public Equity) investment/private placement.

In March 2021, Anghami KSA’s ownership was transferred to the Anghami FZ LLC which was previously directly held by the Shareholders under common control.

Management is currently in the process of completing the transfer of ownership of Anghami for Digital Content (Anghami’s entity in Egypt) ownership to become fully owned subsidiary of Anghami FZ LLC.

The Group is currently in the final stages of securing a USD 4.5 million interest free loan from SHUAA Capital PSC. and MEVP (collectively the “Lenders”) which is critical for its short-term working capital requirements. The Group has received USD 600 thousand out of the planned funding on July 1, 2021 on the basis of the agreed terms between all parties. The Loan is repayable within 10 business days following the closing of the Transaction. If the Transaction is not completed within a period of three months following the effective date of the Loan, or if within this three month period the Transaction is cancelled for any reason whatsoever, the Loan will accrue interest at 12% per annum and mature after 12 months from the Loan effective date. The Lenders will have the option to either (i) demand the repayment of the principal and the accrued interest at maturity or (ii) convert the Loan at a discount to the fair market value. The parties will mutually agree to the conversion terms at a later stage.

(a) Without limiting any additional rights that any Person may have under any other agreement, after the Closing Date, Pubco shall indemnify and hold harmless each present (as of immediately prior to the Vistas Merger Effective Time) and former officer or director of Vistas or Anghami Company (as applicable, the “D&O Entity”) who is entitled to indemnification under the applicable Governing Documents of such D&O Entity effective as of immediately prior to the Vistas Merger Effective Time (each, an “D&O Indemnified Person”) against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, inquiries, fines and reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to (i) the fact that the D&O Indemnified Person is or was an officer or director of such D&O Entity prior to the Closing Date or (ii) matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing Date (including this Agreement and the transactions and actions contemplated hereby) solely to the extent they relate to the operation of the business of such D&O Entity (each, a “D&O Claim”), and to the extent such D&O Claim arises out of the fact that the D&O Indemnified Person is or was an officer or director of a D&O Entity prior to the Closing Date, whether such D&O Claim asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Closing Date, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law. In the event of any such D&O Claim, after the Closing Date, each D&O Indemnified Person will be entitled to advancement of expenses as provided for in applicable Governing Documents as of the immediately prior to the Vistas Merger Effective Time; provided that any Person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking, if and only to the extent required by applicable Law or by the Governing Documents of the applicable D&O Entity.

(b) For a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date, Pubco shall not and shall not permit any D&O Entity to amend, repeal or otherwise modify (in a manner adverse to the beneficiary thereof) any provision in its Governing Documents relating to the exculpation or indemnification (including fee advancement) of any officers and/or directors in respect of claims arising from matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing Date (unless required by Law), it being the intent of the parties that the D&O Indemnified Persons shall continue to be entitled to such exculpation and indemnification (including fee advancement) existing as of immediately prior to the Vistas Merger Effective Time to the full extent of the Law. Pubco shall cause the D&O Entities to honor and perform under all D&O Indemnification Obligations owed to any of the D&O Indemnified Persons as provided in the Governing Documents of the applicable D&O Entity in effect as of immediately prior to the Vistas Merger Effective Time for a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date.

(c) Upon the Closing, Pubco shall purchase all necessary insurance policies to operate the business of Vistas and the Anghami Companies including one or more prepaid insurance policies (i.e., “tail coverage”) (collectively, the “Tail Policy”), which Tail Policy provides liability insurance coverage for the D&O Indemnified Persons who are covered by the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy maintained by the applicable D&O Entities as of immediately prior to the Vistas Merger Effective Time on no less favorable terms (including in amount and scope) as such policy for the benefit of such individuals for a period of at least six (6) years after the Closing Date with respect to claims arising from acts, events or omissions that occurred at or prior to the Closing solely to the extent they relate to the business of the D&O Entities, including with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any D&O Indemnified Person may at any time be entitled to from any Other Indemnitors. No right or remedy herein conferred by this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at Law or in equity or otherwise. Pubco hereby

Annex A-49

Table of Contents

acknowledges that the D&O Indemnified Persons have or may in the future have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance provided by Persons other than the D&O Entities (collectively, “Other Indemnitors”). Pubco hereby agrees that, with respect to any advancement or indemnification obligation owed with respect to a D&O Claim at any time to an D&O Indemnified Person by the D&O Entities or any Other Indemnitors, whether pursuant to any Governing Documents, indemnification agreement or other document or agreement or pursuant to this Section 6.9 (any of the foregoing, a “D&O Indemnification Obligation”), Pubco shall be, (i) at all times the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., Pubco’s obligations with respect to any D&O Claim to an D&O Indemnified Person shall be primary and any obligation of the Other Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by an D&O Indemnified Person shall be secondary) and (ii) at all times required to advance and liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Section 6.9, without regard to any rights that an D&O Indemnified Person may have against the Other Indemnitors; provided that the first recourse of each D&O Indemnified Person shall be against the Tail Policy to the extent recovery under the Tail Policy is available until it is exhausted before recovery against Pubco shall take place. Furthermore, Pubco irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Other Indemnitors from any and all claims (x) against the Other Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation, indemnification or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof and (y) that the D&O Indemnified Person must seek expense advancement, reimbursement or indemnification from any Other Indemnitors before Pubco must perform its expense advancement, reimbursement and indemnification obligations pursuant to this Section 6.9.

(e) If Pubco, its Subsidiaries or any of their successors or assigns (i) is to consolidate with or merge into any other Person and will not be the continuing or surviving company or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) is to transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Company shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.9. The provisions of this Section 6.9 are intended for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each D&O Indemnified Person and their respective heirs and legal representatives, and are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have had by contract or otherwise. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance or other similar insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence as of immediately prior to the Vistas Merger Effective Time with respect to any D&O Entity or any of its directors or officers.

(f) The obligations of Pubco, Vistas and the Anghami Companies under this Section 6.9 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any D&O Indemnified Person hereunder unless (A) such termination or modification is required by applicable Law or (B) the Person so adversely affected consents in writing to such termination or modification. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any D&O Claim (whether arising before, at or after the Closing Date) is made against any D&O Indemnified Person, on or prior to the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date, the provisions of this Section 6.9 shall continue in effect until the final disposition of such D&O Claim.

Section 6.10 SECTION 16 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT. Prior to the Closing, the board of directors of Pubco, or an appropriate committee of “non-employee directors” (as defined in Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act) thereof, shall adopt a resolution consistent with the interpretive guidance of the SEC so that the acquisition of Pubco Shares pursuant to this Agreement and the other agreements contemplated hereby, by any person owning securities of the Company who is expected to become a director or officer (as defined under Rule 16a-1(f) under the Securities Exchange Act) of Pubco following the Closing shall be an exempt transaction for purposes of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16b-3 thereunder.

Section 6.11 EQUITY FINANCING.

(a) During the Pre-Closing Period, Vistas may enter into and consummate Subscription Agreements with Equity Investors and Pubco in form and substance and on terms and conditions reasonable acceptable to the Company and Vistas, acting reasonably (the equity issuance by Vistas contemplated by such Subscription Agreements, an “Equity Financing”).

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the Pre-Closing Period, Vistas shall use, and shall cause its Affiliates to use, its reasonable best efforts to obtain the proceeds of the Equity Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Subscription Agreements, including using reasonable best efforts to

Vistas shall not and shall cause its Affiliates not to take or refrain from taking, directly or indirectly, any action that would reasonably be expected to result in a default under or failure of any of the conditions contained in, or materially impair, delay or prevent consummation of the Equity Financing contemplated by any such Subscription Agreements.

(c) In the event that any portion of the Equity Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in each Subscription Agreement, regardless of the reason therefor, (i) Vistas may, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain alternative financing reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Alternative Financing”) (in an amount sufficient, when taken together with any then-available Equity Financing and available cash of Vistas, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to pay related fees and expenses earned, due and payable as of the Closing Date) on terms not materially less favorable in the aggregate to Vistas, Pubco and the Company than those contained in the Subscription Agreements that the Alternative Financing would replace from the same or other sources and which do not include any incremental conditionality to the consummation of such Alternative Financing that are materially more onerous to Vistas and Pubco (in each case, in the aggregate) than the conditions set forth in the Subscription Agreement that the Alternative Financing would replace, and (ii) Vistas or Pubco will promptly notify the Company of such unavailability and the reason therefor.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Section 6.11 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall require, and in no event shall the “reasonable best efforts” of Vistas be deemed to construe or require, Vistas or any of their respective Affiliates to (i) bring any enforcement action against SHUAA, any Equity Investor to enforce its rights under the SHUAA Engagement Letter or the applicable Subscription Agreement, (ii) seek or accept Equity Financing on terms adverse to or less favorable than those set forth in the Subscription Agreements, or (iii) agree to waive any term or condition of this Agreement or amend or waive any term of the SHUAA Engagement Letter or the Subscription Agreements.

(e) During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall cause the appropriate officers, employees and other Representatives of the Anghami Companies to use reasonable best efforts to cooperate in connection with the arrangement of the Equity Financing as may be reasonably requested by Vistas, including by (i) participating in a reasonable number of virtual meetings, presentations, due diligence sessions, drafting sessions and sessions with investors at mutually agreeable times and locations and upon reasonable advance notice, (ii) reasonably assisting with the preparation of customary materials for actual and potential participants in the Equity Financing, offering documents, private placement memoranda, prospectuses and similar documents required in connection with the Equity Financing, (iii) providing financial statements and such other financial information regarding the Anghami Companies that is reasonably available or within its possession and as is reasonably requested in connection with the Equity Financing, (iv) reasonably assisting Vistas to satisfy the conditions set forth in any document executed in connection with the Equity Financing and (v) otherwise reasonably cooperating in Vistas’ efforts to consummate the Equity Financing. The Company shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any financing documents and any materials that are to be presented during any meetings conducted in connection with the Equity Financing, and Vistas shall give due consideration to all reasonably comments provided thereto. Unless otherwise agreed to by Anghami in writing, the material terms of any Equity Financing entered into during the Pre-Closing Period shall be consistent with the terms set forth in the Subscription Agreements.

In the event of the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, this Agreement shall immediately become null and void, without any Liability on the part of any Party or any other Person, and all rights and obligations of each Party shall cease; provided, that (a) the Confidentiality Agreement and Section 6.4(a), Section 6.5, Section 9.1, this Section 9.2 and Article X (including Section 10.11) of this Agreement survive any termination of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect and (b) no such termination shall relieve any Party from any Liability arising out of or incurred as a result of its breach of the terms of this Agreement prior to such termination (subject to Section 10.11).

This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, that, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by any Party (including by operation of Law) without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any assignment without such consent shall null and void ab initio; and provided, further that no such assignment shall relieve the assigning Party of its obligations hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event the Company, Vistas or Pubco or any of their respective successors or permitted assigns, (a) consolidates with or merges into any other Person or (b) transfers all or substantially all of the assets of such Party and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any Person, then, and in each case, the successors and assigns of such Party shall be deemed to have assumed the obligations set forth in Section 6.9.

Annex A-57

Table of Contents

Section 10.4 SEVERABILITY. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance shall be held to be prohibited by or invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

Section 10.5 INTERPRETATION. The headings and captions used in this Agreement and the table of contents to this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Any capitalized terms used in any Schedule or Exhibit attached hereto and not otherwise defined therein shall have the meanings set forth in this Agreement. The use of the word “including” (and with correlative meaning “include”) herein shall mean “including without limitation.” The use of the word “Ordinary Course of Business” shall mean, with respect to any Person, any action taken by such Person in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice. The words “hereof,” “herein,” and “hereunder” and words of similar import, when used in this Agreement, shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. References herein to a specific Section, Subsection, Recital, Schedule or Exhibit shall refer, respectively, to Sections, Subsections, Recitals, Schedules or Exhibits of this Agreement. Terms defined in the singular shall have a comparable meaning when used in the plural, and vice versa. References herein to any gender shall include each other gender. The word “or” shall not be exclusive unless the context clearly requires the selection of one (but not more than one) of a number of items. References to “written” or “in writing” include in electronic form. References herein to any Person shall include such Person’s heirs, executors, personal representatives, administrators, successors and assigns; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 10.5 is intended to authorize any assignment or transfer not otherwise permitted by this Agreement. References herein to a Person in a particular capacity or capacities shall exclude such Person in any other capacity. Any reference to “days” shall mean calendar days unless Business Days or Trading Days are expressly specified; provided, that if any action is required to be done or taken on a day that is not a Business Day, then such action shall be required to be done or taken not on such day but on the first succeeding Business Day thereafter. References herein to any Contract or agreement (including this Agreement) mean such Contract or agreement as amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof; provided, that with respect to any Contract listed (or required to be listed) on the Disclosure Schedules, all amendments, modifications, supplements, extensions and renewals thereto (but excluding any purchase orders, work orders or statements of work) must also be listed on the appropriate schedule and disclosed. Any Law or Order defined or referred to herein or in any other Transaction Agreement means such Law or Order as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including, in the case of statutes, by regulations, rules or orders, and by succession of comparable successor statutes, regulations, rules or orders. With respect to the determination of any period of time, the word “from” means “from and including” and the words “to” and “until” each means “to but excluding.” References herein to any Law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” (or similar phrases) shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if”. An accounting term not otherwise defined in this Agreement has the meaning assigned to it in accordance with IFRS or GAAP, as applicable, based on the accounting principles used by the applicable Person. Except where otherwise expressly provided, all amounts in this Agreement are stated and shall be paid in United States currency. Any reference in this Agreement to a Person’s directors shall include any member of such Person’s governing body and any reference in this Agreement to a Person’s officers shall include any Person filling a substantially similar position for such Person. Any reference in this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement to a Person’s shareholders or stockholders shall include any applicable owners of the equity interests of such Person, in whatever form. The Parties and their respective counsel have reviewed, negotiated and adopted this Agreement as the joint agreement and understanding of the Parties, and the language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any Person. Any information or materials shall be deemed provided, made available or delivered to Vistas if such information or materials have been uploaded to the electronic data room maintained by the Company and NRF on the Lightserve online-platform for purposes of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Data Room”) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date hereof and Vistas and its Representatives have been given access to the electronic folders contained such information.

Annex A-58

Table of Contents

Section 10.6 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement and the agreements and documents referred to herein, including any exhibits and schedules attached hereto, together with the other Transaction Agreements, contain the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to such subject matter in any way. Furthermore, this Agreement embodies the justifiable expectations of sophisticated parties derived from arm’s-length negotiations and no Person has any special relationship with another Person that would justify any expectation beyond that of an ordinary buyer and an ordinary seller in an arm’s-length transaction.

Section 10.7 NO RECOURSE. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, and notwithstanding the fact that any Party may be a partnership or limited liability company, each Party hereto, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement, covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no Persons other than the Parties shall have any obligation hereunder and that it has no rights of recovery hereunder against, and no recourse hereunder or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith shall be had against, any former, current or future director, officer, agent, Affiliate, manager, assignee, incorporator, controlling Person, fiduciary, representative or employee of any Party (or any of their successors or permitted assignees), against any former, current, or future general or limited partner, manager, stockholder or member of any Party (or any of their successors or permitted assignees) or any Affiliate thereof or against any former, current or future director, officer, agent, employee, Affiliate, manager, assignee, incorporator, controlling Person, fiduciary, representative, general or limited partner, stockholder, manager or member of any of the foregoing, but in each case not including the Parties (each, but excluding for the avoidance of doubt, the Parties, a “Non-Party Affiliate”), whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil, by or through a claim (whether in tort, Contract or otherwise) by or on behalf of such party against the Non-Party Affiliates, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any Proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable Law, or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal Liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on, or otherwise be incurred by any Non-Party Affiliate, as such, for any obligations of the applicable party under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, or for any claim (whether in tort, Contract or otherwise) based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Except to the extent otherwise expressly set forth in, and subject in all cases to the terms and conditions of and limitations herein, this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action of any kind based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be brought against the entities that are expressly named as Parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such Party. Each Non-Party Affiliate is expressly intended as a third-party beneficiary of this Section 10.7.

Section 10.8 COUNTERPARTS; ELECTRONIC DELIVERY. This Agreement and agreements, certificates, instruments and documents entered into in connection herewith may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts and by fax, pdf, email or other electronic document transmission, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement. No Party shall raise the use of a fax machine, pdf, email or other electronic document transmission to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a fax machine, pdf, email or other electronic document transmission as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a Contract and each Party forever waives any such defense.

Section 10.9 ARBITRATION.

(a) Any and all disputes, controversies and claims (other than applications for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, permanent injunction or other equitable relief or application for enforcement of a resolution under this Section 10.9), arising out of, related to, or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (a “Dispute”) shall be governed by this Section 10.9. A Party must, in the first instance, provide written notice of any Disputes to the other Parties subject to such Dispute (a “Dispute Notice”), which Dispute Notice must provide a reasonably detailed description of the matters subject to the Dispute. The Parties involved in such Dispute shall seek to resolve the Dispute on an amicable basis within ten (10) Business Days of the Dispute Notice being received by such other Parties subject to such Dispute (the “Dispute Resolution Period”).

(b) Any Dispute that is not amicably resolved during the Dispute Resolution Period may be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration before the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”), and governed by the Arbitration Rules of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC Rules”).. Any Party involved in such

Annex A-59

Table of Contents

Dispute may initiate the arbitration after the Dispute Resolution Period. The decision of the ICC arbitration panel with respect to such Dispute shall be final and binding on the Parties, and it will not be subject to any appeal or proceedings to vacate. The arbitration award may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) The seat of the arbitration and any witness hearings or other evidentiary proceedings shall be London and all proceedings and submissions shall be in the English language. The arbitrators shall decide the Dispute in accordance with the substantive law of the state of New York. The panel may conduct proceedings in other locations if necessary for the taking of evidence or as otherwise agreed by the Parties involved in such arbitration.

(d) The arbitration panel shall consist of three members to be appointed in accordance with the ICC Rules, except that the third arbitrator, who shall preside over the arbitration panel, shall be chosen by mutual agreement of the two Party-appointed arbitrators.

(e) Except as required by applicable Law, none of the Parties or the arbitration panel may disclose the existence, content or results of the arbitration unless and to the extent that disclosure is required by applicable Law or is necessary for permitted court proceedings.

(f) The arbitration panel shall be authorized to award monetary damages and to grant temporary injunctive relief, including interim relief pending the final award. Any interim or provisional measure in the form of conservatory or injunctive relief ordered by the arbitration panel shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be deemed a final arbitration award for purposes of enforceability. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 10.9 should be interpreted to preclude any Party from seeking interim relief from a court of competent jurisdiction prior to the formation of the arbitration panel. Any monetary award may include interest and shall be stated and payable in U.S. Dollars. The arbitration panel is not authorized to award punitive or exemplary damages.

Section 10.10 GOVERNING LAW; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; JURISDICTION. The Law of the State of New York shall govern (i) all claims or matters related to or arising from this Agreement (including any tort or non-contractual claims) and (ii) any questions concerning the construction, interpretation, validity and enforceability of this Agreement, and the performance of the obligations imposed by this Agreement, in each case without giving effect to any choice-of-law or conflict-of-law rules or provisions (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Law of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE PARTIES (WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND/OR THE RELATIONSHIPS ESTABLISHED AMONG THE PARTIES HEREUNDER. THE PARTIES HERETO FURTHER WARRANT AND REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. Subject to Section 10.9, each of the Parties submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of first, the Supreme Court of New York, County of New York, or if such court declines jurisdiction, then to the federal court sitting in the State of New York, Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York (and in each case, any appellate courts of the foregoing courts), in any action or Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, agrees that all claims in respect of the action or Proceeding shall be heard and determined in any such court and agrees not to bring any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other courts. Nothing in this Section 10.10, however, shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law or at equity. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any Proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law or at equity.

Section 10.11 TRUST ACCOUNT WAIVER. Each of the Company, Pubco, Vistas Merger Sub and Anghami Merger Sub acknowledges that, as described in the IPO Prospectus, Vistas has established the Trust Account for the benefit of its public stockholders (including overallotment shares acquired by Vistas’ underwriters) (the “Public Stockholders”), which holds proceeds of its IPO and the overallotment shares acquired by Vistas’ underwriters and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon), and that Vistas may disburse monies from the Trust Account only in the circumstances described in the IPO Prospectus and Vistas’ Governing Documents. For and in consideration of Vistas entering into this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Company, Pubco, Vistas Merger Sub and Anghami Merger Sub, for itself and the Affiliates it has the authority to

Annex A-60

Table of Contents

bind, hereby agrees it and such Affiliates do not now and shall not at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any assets in the Trust Account (or distributions therefrom to Public Stockholders), or make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom to Public Stockholders), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Agreement or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability, and hereby irrevocably waives any claims it or such Affiliates has or may have at any time against or with respect to the Trust Account (or distributions therefrom to Public Stockholders) as a result of, or arising out of, any discussions, contracts or agreements (including this Agreement) involving Vistas and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (or distributions therefrom to Public Stockholders) for any reason whatsoever. Each of the Company, Pubco, Vistas Merger Sub and Anghami Merger Sub agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by Vistas and its Affiliates to induce Vistas to enter in this Agreement, and each of the Company, Pubco, Vistas Merger Sub and Anghami Merger Sub further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against such Party and each of its Affiliates under applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 10.11 shall affect any rights of the Company, Pubco, Vistas Merger Sub or Anghami Merger Sub or their respective Affiliates in the capacity as a Public Stockholder to redeem their shares of Vistas in the Vistas Shareholder Redemption. This Section 10.11 shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason and continue indefinitely.

Section 10.12 SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. The Parties agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary relief, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached, including if the Parties hereto fail to take any action required of them hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. It is accordingly agreed that (a) each Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts described in Section 10.10 without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, and (b) the right to specific performance and other equitable relief is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, neither Vistas, the Company, Pubco, Vistas Merger Sub or Anghami Merger Sub would have entered into this Agreement. The Parties agree not to assert that a remedy of specific performance or other equitable relief is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, and not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the Parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at law. The Parties acknowledge and agree that if a Party seeks an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 10.12, such Party shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their permitted assigns and nothing herein expressed or implied shall give or be construed to give any Person, other than the Parties and such permitted assigns, any legal or equitable rights hereunder (other than any D&O Indemnified Persons with respect to Section 6.9, the Non-Party Affiliates with respect to Section 10.7, each of whom is an express third-party beneficiary hereunder and entitled to enforce their rights and obligations owed to them under such Sections).

All Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto or referred to herein and the recitals to this Agreement are (a) each hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein and (b) qualified in their entirety by reference to specific provisions of this Agreement.

THE ANGHAMI INC. LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

PART A: MAKING AWARDS

1.      ELIGIBILITY

1.1    An Award may only be granted to a Participant.

2.      grant process

2.1    An Award shall be granted by the Company executing a deed.

2.2    No monetary consideration shall be payable for the grant of an Award.

3.      FORM OF AWARDS

3.1    The Committee shall specify on or before the Award Date whether an Award is a Performance Share Award, a Restricted Stock Award or a Market Value Stock Option.

3.2    A Performance Share Award and/or a Restricted Stock Award may take the form of:-

3.2.1         a Nil-Cost Option Award; and/or

3.2.2         a Contingent Share Award; and/or

3.3    The Committee shall specify the form which any Performance Share Award and/or Restricted Stock Award shall take but, if it fails to do so, the default position shall be that each relevant Award shall be a Contingent Share Award.

3.4    An Award may, alternatively, be granted on the basis that it will be settled in accordance with Rule 4 of Part C.

4.      GRANT OF AWARDS

4.1    The Committee may, in its absolute discretion, determine which Participants (if any) will be selected for the grant of an Award. The Committee may consider recommendations made by the executive directors of the Company as to which Participants should be selected. Awards may then be granted to selected Participants at any time.

4.2    No Award may be made in breach of any Dealing Restriction.

4.3    No Award may be made after [•] 2031.

5.      Performance Targets

5.1    When an Award is made, the Committee shall determine whether, subject to Rule 5.2 of this Part A, the Vesting of all or part of the Award shall be subject to a Performance Target.

5.2    All Performance Share Awards must be granted subject to a Performance Target.

5.3    The terms of the Performance Target applying to any Award shall be set out in the deed of grant.

5.4    The Committee reserves the discretion to reduce the number of Award Shares which would otherwise Vest as a result of the formulaic outcome of any Performance Target. Notwithstanding the extent to which any Performance Target is satisfied, the number of Vested Award Shares may be reduced by the Committee to ensure that the number of Vested Award Shares is reflective of the underlying business performance of the Group, a Subsidiary or division(s) and/or wider circumstances. Where the Committee exercises its discretion under this Rule 5.4 of Part A no individual shall have any right of appeal or cause of action in relation to the exercise of that discretion.

5.5    The Committee may amend a Performance Target if an event occurs which causes the Committee to consider it appropriate to do so. The amended Performance Target shall not be materially more or less demanding to satisfy than the original Performance Target was when first set and must be a fairer measure of performance than the original Performance Target.

Annex B-1

Table of Contents

5.6    If, before the end of the Performance Period, the Award Vests pursuant to any of Rules 3.1, 3.2 or 3.6 of Part C, the Committee shall determine whether and to what extent any Performance Target shall then be deemed to be satisfied.

5.7    If an Award Vests before the Normal Vesting Date because the Awardholder Leaves the Committee shall determine whether and to what extent a Performance Target shall then be deemed to be satisfied.

6.      dividend equivalents

6.1    The Committee shall determine on or before the Award Date whether a Dividend Equivalent shall apply to any Award.

6.2    If a Dividend Equivalent applies then, subject to Rule 6.3 of this Part A, the Awardholder shall be entitled to receive a number of Shares calculated in accordance with Rule 6.4 of this Part A when the relevant Award is settled.

6.3    The Committee may decide that the Dividend Equivalent shall be delivered as a cash payment.

6.4    Subject to Rule 6.5 of this Part A, the number of Shares referred to in Rule 6.2 of this Part A or the cash payment referred to in Rule 6.3 of this Part A (as applicable) shall have a value equal to the aggregate dividends on or after the Award Date and prior to:

6.4.1         the date of Vesting; or

6.4.2         if the Award is a Nil-Cost Option Award or Market Value Stock Option in respect of which a Post-Vesting Holding Period applies, the earlier of:

(i)          the expiry of the Post-Vesting Holding Period; and

(ii)         the date of the exercise of the Nil-Cost Option Award or Market Value Stock Option (as appropriate)

on the number of Shares in respect of which the relevant Award Vests. If the Dividend Equivalent is to be provided in Shares the calculation of the number of Shares to be so received by the Awardholder may assume the re-investment of dividends. In no circumstances shall any compensation of any form be awarded in respect of any dividends with a record date which occurred prior to the Award Date or after the relevant date for the purposes of Rule 6.4.1 or Rule 6.4.2 of this Part A (as applicable).

6.5    The Committee may determine that the value of any special dividend (or the amount of any other dividend) shall be excluded from any Dividend Equivalent.

6.6    The settlement of a Dividend Equivalent shall be subject to Rule 5 of Part C.

7.      DILUTION LIMITS

7.1    The aggregate number of Shares which may be issued or transferred pursuant to Awards under the Plan shall be equal to [•] Shares, which is approximately equal to 5% of the total issued share capital of the Company in issue at the time.

7.2    If any Shares subject to an Award are forfeited or expire, are converted to shares of another person in connection with a recapitalisation, reorganisation, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, exchange of shares or other similar event, or such Award is settled for cash (in whole or in part), the Shares subject to such Award shall, to the extent of such forfeiture, expiration, conversion or cash settlement, again be available for future grants of Awards under the Plan. The payment of Dividend Equivalents in cash in conjunction with any outstanding Awards shall not be counted against the Shares available for issuance under the Plan.

7.3    The Committee may make such adjustments as it sees fit to how it assesses compliance with Rule 7.1 of this Part A in the event of any variation in the share capital of the Company.

Annex B-2

Table of Contents

7.4    If an Award is purported to be granted in breach of the limit in Rule 7.1 of this Part A it shall be limited and will take effect in such manner as the Committee may determine to be consistent with the relevant Rule (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may involve the Committee reducing the number of Shares under the Award (including to nil)).

8.      POST-VESTING HOLDING PERIODS

8.1    On or before the grant of an Award, the Committee shall determine whether the Award shall be subject to a Post-Vesting Holding Period. If so, and to the extent that the Committee considers it appropriate, the Committee shall also determine the basis upon which the Post-Vesting Holding Period will operate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the Committee may make the Vesting and/or exercise of an Award subject to the Awardholder complying with any requirements the Committee may impose in order to give effect to the imposition, operation and/or intention of the Post-Vesting Holding Period.

8.2    If an Award is subject to a Post-Vesting Holding Period the Committee shall, subject to Rule 7 of PART C, be empowered consistent with Rule 3 of Part D to interpret the Rules and/or make regulations etc. to give effect to the imposition, operation and/or intention of the Post-Vesting Holding Period.

9.      INDIVIDUAL LIMIT

The aggregate market value (as determined by the Committee at or prior to the Award Date) of Shares in respect of which Awards are made to A PARTICIPANT in any Financial Year shall not be greater than [•] per cent of the PARTICIPANT’S annual base salary at the Award Date.

10.    COMMUNICATION of DETAILS OF AWARDS

10.1  As soon as practicable after an Award has been made the Company shall provide to the Awardholder (in hard copy, by e-mail or in such other electronic format as it sees fit) the following details:-

10.1.1       the type of Award;

10.1.2       the Award Date;

10.1.3       the number of Award Shares;

10.1.4       the Option Price (if any)

10.1.5       the applicable Performance Target (if any);

10.1.6       the Normal Vesting Date(s);

10.1.7       whether a Dividend Equivalent will apply;

10.1.8       whether a Post-Vesting Holding Period applies and, if so, such details (if any) as to the terms of the Post-Vesting Holding Period as the Committee sees fit;

10.1.9       that it is a condition of the Award that the Awardholder indemnifies the Company and (if different) the Awardholder’s Employer in respect of any Award Tax Liability; and

10.1.10     in the case of a Nil-Cost Option Award or Market Value Stock Option, the last date on which it may be exercised

11.    Acceptance of aN Award

The Committee may require the Awardholder to accept the grant of an Award on such basis as it sees fit. For the avoidance of doubt, this means that the Committee may provide for the lapse of an Award if the Awardholder fails to accept the grant of the Award on any terms so specified by the Committee.

PART B: IMPACT OF LEAVING

1.      IMPACT OF LEAVING

1.1    Subject to Rules 1.2 to 1.5 of this Part B (inclusive), if an Awardholder Leaves for any reason then any Award held by him shall lapse when he Leaves.

1.2    If an Awardholder Leaves by reason of:

1.2.1         death;

1.2.2         ill-health, injury or disability evidenced to the satisfaction of the Committee;

1.2.3         redundancy within the meaning of the Employment Rights Act 1996 or overseas equivalent;

1.2.6         for any other reason, if the Committee so decides,

then, subject to Rule 1.3 of this Part B and Rules 1.3, 3 and 5 of Part C, his Award shall Vest on the Normal Vesting Date subject to, unless the Committee determines otherwise, a Time Pro-Rata Reduction and, if it has been granted as a Nil-Cost Option Award or Market Value Stock Option, it may be exercised within 12 months of Vesting and it shall lapse at the end of that period to the extent that it has not been exercised.

1.3    If an Awardholder Leaves by reason of any of the circumstances set out in Rules 1.2.1 to 1.2.6 of this Part B (inclusive) the Committee may determine that, subject to Rules 1.3, 3 and 5 of Part C, his Award shall Vest when he Leaves or on such other date after the date of Leaving but before the Normal Vesting Date as the Committee may determine in accordance with Rule 1.4 of this Part B. If the Award has been granted as a Nil-Cost Option Award or Market Value Stock Option it may be exercised within 12 months of Vesting and it shall lapse at the end of that period to the extent that it has not been exercised.

1.2    An Award granted as a Nil-Cost Option Award or Market Value Stock Option may, subject to Rules 1.3 and 5 of this Part C, be exercised on or after the date of Vesting up to and including the day before the tenth anniversary of the Award Date (or such earlier date as the Committee may specify on grant) subject to it lapsing earlier under any other Rule of this Plan.

1.3    An Award may not Vest or be exercised, nor may any Vested Award Shares be issued or transferred to or to the order of the Awardholder following the Vesting or exercise of an Award, if such Vesting, exercise, issue or transfer is prevented by a Dealing Restriction. If any Vesting, exercise, issue or transfer is prevented by any Dealing Restriction the relevant event will be delayed until the Dealing Restriction no longer applies.

1.4    Subject to Rules 1.3 and 5 of this Part C, the Company shall issue, transfer, or procure the issue or transfer, to (or to the order of) the Awardholder the Vested Award Shares in respect of which a Nil-Cost Option Award or Market Value Stock Option is exercised or in respect of which a Contingent Share Award Vests within 30 days of the date of exercise or Vesting (as applicable), except to the extent that the Committee determines that Shares will be issued or transferred to the Awardholder following the Post-Vesting Holding Period.

1.5    To exercise a Nil-Cost Option Award or Market Value Stock Option, the Awardholder shall serve a notice on the Company which:-

1.5.1         specifies the number of Award Shares over which the Award is exercised on that occasion, which shall not exceed the number of Vested Award Shares;

1.5.2         is accompanied by the payment of the Option Price (if any) or, if the Committee so permits, an undertaking to pay that amount; and

1.5.3         is otherwise in such form as the Committee may from time to time determine and notify to the Awardholder.

For the avoidance of doubt, any notice so provided by an Awardholder may be submitted in an electronic format.

1.6    As soon as reasonably practicable after the issue or transfer of any Shares upon the exercise or Vesting of an Award the Company shall procure:-

1.6.1         the issue of a definitive share certificate or such acknowledgement of shareholding as is prescribed from time to time for the Shares issued or transferred to the Awardholder; and

1.6.2         [if Shares are to be issued and, on the date of issue, Shares of the same class are listed on the official list of the SEC, that any Shares so issued are admitted thereto.]

1.8    Subject to the operation of any Post-Vesting Holding Period and Rule 5 of this Part C, if the Awardholder requests, some or all of the Shares he acquires pursuant to an Award may be issued or transferred to a nominee of the Awardholder, provided that beneficial ownership of the Shares vests in the Awardholder.

Annex B-5

Table of Contents

2.      RECOVERY AND WITHHOLDING PROVISIONS

2.1    Notwithstanding any other Rule of the Plan, if circumstances occur which in the reasonable opinion of the Committee justify such determination, the Committee may, prior to the second anniversary of the date on which an Award Vests or, if later, the fifth anniversary of the Date of Grant, determine (acting fairly and reasonably having taken into account the scale of loss or damage to the Company or the extent of the risk taken by the Company) to take one or more of the following actions in relation to any one or more Awardholders:

2.1.1         reduce (including to nil) the number of Shares in respect of which any future Award is granted to an Awardholder; or

2.1.2         reduce (including to nil) the number of Shares and/or Dividend Equivalents under an unvested Award or under a Vested but unexercised Nil-Cost Option or Market Value Stock Option held by an Awardholder, by such number as the Committee considers appropriate in the circumstances; or

2.1.3         in relation to a Vested Award or exercised Nil-Cost Option or Market Value Stock Option require an Awardholder to pay to the Company or such other person as the Company may direct within 30 days of a written demand from the Company such number of Shares or such monetary amount with a value to be determined in the Committee’s absolute discretion provided such value on the date of demand is no greater than the value of the Vested Award Shares and Dividend Equivalents under the Award at the Vesting Date, less any amount paid by or in respect of the Awardholder in respect of an Award Tax Liability incurred as a result of the Vesting of the relevant Award (except to the extent the Awardholder is able to recover amounts paid in respect of such Award Tax Liability).

2.2    The circumstances in which the Committee may consider that it is appropriate to exercise its discretion under Rule 2.1 of Part C may, without limitation, include the following:

2.2.1         a material financial misstatement of the Company’s audited financial accounts (other than as a result of a change in accounting practice);

2.2.2         the Misconduct of an Awardholder;

2.2.3         conduct or behaviour by the Awardholder that, following an investigation, is reasonably considered by the Committee to constitute a breach of the Company’s values as stipulated by the Company’s code of conduct in force from time to time;

2.2.4         the member of the Group that employs or employed (or appointed or engaged, as applicable) the Awardholder, or for which the Awardholder is responsible, having suffered a material corporate failure or a failure of risk management; and

2.2.5         evidence that an Award was granted or Vested based on erroneous or misleading data.

2.3    If the Committee exercises its discretion under this Rule 2 of Part C, it will confirm this in writing to each affected Awardholder.

2.4    For the purposes of these Rules, if the Committee exercises its discretion under Rule 2.1.2 of Part C before an Award vests:

2.4.1         the Award will be deemed to have been granted with respect to the reduced number of Shares; and

2.4.2         any subsequent Vesting of the Award will be determined by reference to this reduced number of Shares, save that if the number of Shares is reduced to nil, the Award will be treated as if it had never been granted and such Awardholder (including an Awardholder Leaves the Company before the Vesting Date) will have no rights to any cash amount, Dividend Equivalents or Shares.

2.5    By accepting an Award, an Awardholder will be bound by this Rule 2 of Part C notwithstanding that it may only be applicable after the issue or transfer of Shares under these Rules.

Annex B-6

Table of Contents

3.      corporate events

3.1    Subject to Rules 3.5 and 3.6 of this Part C, all Awards will Vest on a Takeover to the extent set out in Rule 3.3 of this Part C.

3.2    If the Company is or may be affected by a demerger, delisting, special dividend or other event which, in the opinion of the Committee, would affect the market price of a Share to a material extent, the Committee may allow Awards to Vest at such time as it sees fit to the extent set out in Rule 3.3 of this Part C or, alternatively, determine that Rule 3.5 of this Part C shall apply.

3.3    If an Award Vests in accordance with any of Rules 3.1, 3.2 or 3.6 of this Part C then the number of Vested Award Shares shall be calculated taking into account Rule 5.6 of Part A and subject, unless the Committee determines otherwise, to a Time Pro-Rata Reduction.

3.4    An Award granted as a Nil-Cost Option Award or Market Value Stock Option may be exercised in respect of Vested Award Shares within one month of Vesting in accordance with either of Rules 3.1 or 3.2 of this Part C or during such period as the Committee may determine under Rule 3.6 of this Part C and shall (regardless of any other provision of this Plan) lapse at the end of that period to the extent it has not been exercised.

3.5    If there is an Internal Reorganisation, a Takeover or an event falling within Rule 3.2 of this Part C and Awardholders are invited to accept an Exchange of Awards, or the Committee determines that there will be an automatic Exchange of Awards, Awards shall not Vest as a result of the Internal Reorganisation, Takeover or other event and at the end of the period in which Awardholders may accept such an invitation or upon an automatic Exchange of Awards (as applicable) the Awards shall lapse in full.

3.6    If, in the reasonable opinion of the Committee, a Takeover is likely to occur, then the Committee may determine that any Award(s) will Vest to the extent set out in Rule 3.3 of this Part C on such date shortly before the Takeover as it sees fit and, in the case of a Nil-Cost Option Award or Market Value Stock Option, the Committee shall also determine the period during which such Awards may be exercised if it determines that such earlier Vesting would be advantageous to the Awardholder or any member of the Group.

4.      cash awards

4.1    The Committee may, if it sees fit, settle any Award by making a cash payment to the Awardholder equal to the market value (as determined by the Committee) of the Shares in respect of which it Vests (in the case of a Contingent Share Award) or is exercised (in case of a Nil-Cost Option Award or Market Value Stock Option), less the amount of any Option Price.

4.2    The Company may settle any right to a cash payment under this Rule 4 of Part C by issuing or transferring, or procuring the issue or transfer of, Shares to the Awardholder of an equivalent value.

4.3    The Rules of this Plan will apply to any Award subject to this Rule 4 of Part C and the Committee shall interpret the Rules accordingly.

4.4    This Rule 4 of Part C shall not apply to an Award if its application would cause any adverse issues for any member of the Group or an Awardholder. Such adverse issues may relate, but shall not be limited to, securities law, exchange control, tax or social security.

5.      Recovery of Award Tax Liability AND RELATED MATTERS

5.1    It shall be a condition of every Award that the Awardholder indemnifies the Company and (if different) the Awardholder’s Employer against any Award Tax Liability and that, if required by the Committee, he shall enter into such tax election as the Committee may reasonably determine.

5.2    The Awardholder authorises the Company to sell or procure the sale of sufficient Shares on or following the Vesting or exercise of any Award on his behalf to ensure that the Awardholder’s Employer receives the amount required to discharge the Award Tax Liability which arises on Vesting or exercise of the relevant Award, except to the extent that the Committee decides that all or part of the Award Tax Liability shall be funded in a different manner.

Annex B-7

Table of Contents

5.3    If, on any occasion, an Award Tax Liability arises in relation to a payment of cash pursuant to an Award the Awardholder authorises the Company to withhold from that payment an amount not exceeding the Award Tax Liability (or to procure the withholding of such amount).

6.      Variation of Share Capital

The number of Award Shares subject to an Award and the Option Price (if any) may be adjusted in such manner as the Committee sees fit in the event of a demerger or payment of a special dividend or similar event that would otherwise materially affect the value of an Award, or if there is any variation in the share capital of the Company.

7.      Alteration of the Plan

7.1    Subject to Rule 7.2 and Rule 7.3 of this Part C, the Committee may alter or amend any of the provisions of the Plan in any respect.

7.2    No alteration or amendment may be made to any of the provisions of the Plan if it would adversely affect the rights of an existing Awardholder, except where the alteration or amendment has been approved by the Awardholder who would be adversely affected by the alteration or amendment.

7.3    All alterations and amendments to the Plan are subject to any approvals required pursuant to the rules of the applicable stock exchange or any listing, regulatory or governmental authority and taking into account any exemptions provided by such rules.

8.      Service of Documents

8.1    Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, any notice or document to be given by, or on behalf of, the Company or any administrator of this Plan to any Participant or Awardholder in accordance or in connection with this Plan may be given in such electronic format as the Company decides and communicates to the Participant or Awardholder or by hand or sent by pre-paid first class post (airmail if overseas), facsimile transmission or email to the Participant’s or Awardholder’s home or work address, facsimile number or email address last known to the Company to be the Participant or Awardholder’s address, facsimile number or email address. Subject to Rule 8.4 of this Part C, any notice or document given in accordance with this Rule 8.1 of Part C shall be deemed to have been given:-

8.1.1         if delivered in electronic format (other than email), at such time as the Committee determines;

8.1.2         upon delivery, if delivered by hand;

8.1.3         after 24 hours, if sent by post;

8.1.4         after 4 hours, if sent by facsimile transmission; and

Share certificates shall be signed by one (1) or more Directors or other person authorised by the Board. The Board may authorise certificates to be issued with the authorised signature(s) affixed by mechanical process. Every share certificate shall specify the number of Shares in respect of which it is issued and the amount paid thereon or the fact that they are fully paid, as the case may be, and may otherwise be in such form as shall be determined by the Board. Such certificates may be under Seal. All certificates for Shares shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified and shall specify the Shares to which they relate. The name and address of the person to whom the Shares represented thereby are issued, with the number of Shares and date of issue, shall be entered in the Register of Members of the Company. All certificates surrendered to the Company for transfer shall be cancelled and, subject to these Articles, no new certificate shall be issued until the former certificate representing a like number of relevant Shares shall have been surrendered and cancelled. The Board may authorise certificates to be issued with the Seal and/or to be signed by such person(s) as may be authorised by the Board and may authorise certificates to be issued with the authorised signature(s) affixed by some method or system of mechanical or automated process.

9.4    The Company shall not be bound to issue more than one (1) certificate for Shares held jointly by more than one (1) person and delivery of a certificate to one (1) joint holder shall be a sufficient delivery to all of them.

9.5    If a share certificate is defaced, worn out, lost or destroyed, it may be renewed on such terms (if any) as to evidence and indemnity and on the payment of such expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in investigating evidence, as the Board may prescribe, and (in the case of defacement or wearing out) upon delivery of the old certificate.

Annex D-8

Table of Contents

10.1  Subject to the terms of these, any Member may transfer all or any of such Member’s Shares by an instrument of transfer provided that such transfer complies with the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law. If the Shares in question were issued in conjunction with rights, options or warrants issued pursuant to these Articles on terms that one cannot be transferred without the other, the Board shall refuse to register the transfer of any such Share without evidence satisfactory to them of the like transfer of such option or warrant.

10.2  The instrument of transfer of any Share shall be in writing in the usual or common form or in a form prescribed by the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law or in any other form approved by the Board and shall be executed by or on behalf of the transferor (and if the Board so requires, signed by or on behalf of the transferee) and may be under hand or, if the transferor or transferee is a Clearing House or its nominee(s), by hand or by machine imprinted signature or by such other manner of execution as the Board may approve from time to time. The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of a Share until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register of Members in respect of the relevant Shares.

10.3  

(a)     The Board may in its absolute discretion and without giving any reason therefor, decline to register any transfer of Shares which are:

(i)      not fully paid up or on which the Company has a lien; or

(ii)     issued under any share incentive scheme for employees upon which a restriction on transfer imposed thereby still subsists.

(b)    The Board may also, but is not required to, decline to register any transfer of any Share unless:

(i)      the instrument of transfer is lodged with the Company, accompanied by the certificate (if any) for the Share(s) to which it relates and such other evidence as the Board may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer;

(ii)     the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one (1) Class of Shares;

(iii)   the instrument of transfer is properly stamped, if required by Applicable Law;

(iv)    in the case of a transfer to joint holders, the number of joint holders to whom the Share is to be transferred does not exceed four (4);

(v)     the Shares transferred are fully paid and free of any lien in favour of the Company; and

(vi)    any applicable fee of such maximum sum as the Designated Stock Exchange may determine to be payable, or such lesser sum as the Board may from time to time require, related to the transfer is paid to the Company.

(c)     Unless the Board has an express ability to decline to register any transfer of Shares pursuant to this Article 10.3, the Board shall register a transfer of Shares.

Annex D-9

Table of Contents

10.4  The registration of transfers may, on fourteen (14) days’ notice being given by advertisement in such one (1) or more newspapers or by electronic means, be suspended and the Register of Members closed at such times and for such periods as the Board may, in its absolute discretion, from time to time determine, provided always that such registration of transfer shall not be suspended nor the Register of Members closed for more than thirty (30) days in any year.

10.5  All instruments of transfer that are registered shall be retained by the Company. If the Board refuses to register a transfer of any Shares, they shall within three (3) months after the date on which the instrument of transfer was lodged with the Company send to each of the transferor and the transferee notice of the refusal.

11     Redemption, Repurchase and Surrender of Shares

11.1  Subject to the provisions of the Statute, and, where applicable, the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law, the Company may issue Shares that are to be redeemed or are liable to be redeemed at the option of the Member or the Company.

11.2  Subject to the provisions of the Statute, and, where applicable, the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law, any power of the Company to repurchase or otherwise acquire its own Shares (including any redeemable Shares) shall be exercisable by the Board in such manner, upon such terms and subject to such conditions as it thinks fit.

11.3  The repurchase of any Share shall not oblige the Company to repurchase any other Share other than as may be required pursuant to Applicable Law, or any rules and regulations applicable to the listing of the Shares on the Designated Stock Exchange, or any contractual obligations of the Company.

11.4  The Company may make a payment in respect of the redemption or repurchase of its own Shares in any manner permitted by the Statute, including out of capital.

11.5  The holder of the Shares being repurchased shall be bound to deliver up to the Company at its Registered Office or such other place as the Board shall specify, the certificate(s) (if any) thereof for cancellation and thereupon the Company shall pay to such holder the repurchase or redemption monies or consideration in respect thereof.

11.6  For the avoidance of doubt, redemptions, repurchases and surrenders of Shares in the circumstances described in this Article 11 shall not require further approval of the Members.

12     Treasury Shares

12.1  The Board may, prior to the repurchase, redemption or surrender of any Share, determine that such Share shall be held as a Treasury Share.

12.2  The Board may determine to cancel a Treasury Share or transfer a Treasury Share on such terms as they think proper (including, without limitation, for nil consideration).

13     Variation of Rights of Shares

13.1  Subject to Article 3.2, if at any time the share capital of the Company is divided into different Classes of Shares, all or any of the rights attached to any Class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that Class) may, whether or not the Company is being wound up, be varied without the consent of the holders of the issued Shares of that Class where such variation is considered by the Board not to have a material and adverse effect upon such rights; otherwise, any such variation shall be made only with the consent in writing of all of the holders of the issued Shares of that Class, or with the approval of a resolution passed by a majority of not less than two thirds (2/3) of the votes cast at a separate meeting of the holders of the Shares of that Class. For the avoidance of doubt, the Board reserves the right, notwithstanding that any such variation may not have a material and adverse effect, to obtain consent from the holders of Shares of the relevant Class.

Annex D-10

Table of Contents

To any such meeting all the provisions of these Articles relating to general meetings shall apply mutatis mutandis, except that the necessary quorum shall be at least one (1) person holding or representing by proxy at least one third (1/3) of the issued Shares of the Class and that any holder of Shares of the Class present in person or by proxy may demand a poll.

13.2  For the purposes of a separate class meeting, the Board may treat two (2) or more or all the Classes of Shares as forming one (1) Class of Shares if the Board considers that such class of Shares would be affected in the same way by the proposals under consideration, but in any other case shall treat them as separate Classes of Shares. Such a determination shall not affect the number of votes required, including with respect to any Class.

13.3  The rights conferred upon the holders of the Shares of any Class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that Class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further Shares ranking pari passu therewith or Shares issued with preferred or other rights. The rights of holders of Ordinary Shares shall not be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of Shares with preference or other rights which may be effected by the Board as provided in these Articles without any vote or consent of the holders of Ordinary Shares.

14     Commission on Sale of Shares

14.1  The Company may, insofar as the Statute and Applicable Law permit, pay a commission to any person in consideration of his or her subscribing or agreeing to subscribe (whether absolutely or conditionally) or procuring or agreeing to procure subscriptions (whether absolutely or conditionally) for any Shares. Such commissions may be satisfied by the payment of cash and/or the issue of fully or partly paid-up Shares. The Company may also on any issue of Shares pay such brokerage as may be lawful.

15     Non-Recognition of Trusts

15.1  The Company shall not be obligated to recognize any person as holding any Share upon any trust and the Company shall not be bound by or compelled to recognize in any way (even when notified) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any Share, or (except only as is otherwise provided by these Articles or the Statute) any other rights in respect of any Share other than an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the registered holder.

16     Lien on Shares

16.1  The Company shall have a first and paramount lien on all Shares (whether fully paid-up or not) registered in the name of a Member (whether solely or jointly with others) for all debts, liabilities or engagements to or with the Company (whether presently payable or not) by such Member or such Member’s estate, either alone or jointly with any other person, whether a Member or not, but the Board may at any time declare any Share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article 16. The registration of a transfer of any such Share shall operate as a waiver of the Company’s lien thereon. The Company’s lien on a Share shall also extend to any amount payable in respect of that Share.

16.2  The Company may sell, in such manner as the Board thinks fit, any Shares on which the Company has a lien, if a sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable, and is not paid within fourteen (14) calendar days after notice has been received or deemed to have been received by the holder of the Shares, or to the person entitled to it in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of the holder, demanding payment and stating that if the notice is not complied with the Shares may be sold.

16.3  To give effect to any such sale the Board may authorise any person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Shares sold to, or in accordance with the directions of, the purchaser. The purchaser or the purchaser’s nominee shall be registered as the holder of the Shares comprised in any such transfer, and the purchaser shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall the purchaser’s title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the sale or the exercise of the Company’s power of sale under these Articles.

16.4  The net proceeds of such sale after payment of costs, shall be applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable and any balance shall (subject to a like lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the Shares before the sale) be paid to the person entitled to the Shares at the date of the sale.

Annex D-11

Table of Contents

17     Call on Shares

17.1  Subject to the terms of the allotment and issue of any Shares, the Board may make calls upon the Members in respect of any monies unpaid on their Shares (whether in respect of par value or premium), and each Member shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen (14) calendar days’ notice specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified the amount called on the Shares. A call may be revoked or postponed, in whole or in part, as the Board may determine. A call may be required to be paid by instalments. A person upon whom a call is made shall remain liable for calls made upon him notwithstanding the subsequent transfer of the Shares in respect of which the call was made.

17.2  A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Board authorising such call was passed.

17.3  The joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof.

17.4  If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable, the person from whom it is due shall pay interest on the amount unpaid from the day it became due and payable until it is paid at such rate as the Board may determine (and in addition all expenses that have been incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment), but the Board may waive payment of the interest or expenses wholly or in part.

17.5  An amount payable in respect of a Share on issue or allotment or at any fixed date, whether on account of the par value of the Share or premium or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a call and if it is not paid all the provisions of these Articles shall apply as if that amount had become due and payable by virtue of a call.

17.6  The Board may issue Shares with different terms as to the amount and times of payment of calls, or the interest to be paid.

17.7  The Board may, if it thinks fit, receive an amount from any Member willing to advance all or any part of the monies uncalled and unpaid upon any Shares held by him, and may (until the amount would otherwise become payable) pay interest at such rate as may be agreed upon between the Board and the Member paying such amount in advance.

17.8  No such amount paid in advance of calls shall entitle the Member paying such amount to any portion of a Dividend or other distribution payable in respect of any period prior to the date upon which such amount would, but for such payment, become payable.

18     Forfeiture of Shares

18.1  If a call or instalment of a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable the Board may give to the person from whom it is due not less than fourteen (14) clear days’ notice requiring payment of the amount unpaid together with any interest which may have accrued and any expenses incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment. The notice shall specify where payment is to be made and shall state that if the notice is not complied with the Shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

18.2  If the notice is not complied with, any Share in respect of which it was given may, before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Board. Such forfeiture shall include all Dividends, other distributions or other monies payable in respect of the forfeited Share and not paid before the forfeiture.

18.3  A forfeited Share may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Board thinks fit and at any time before a sale, re-allotment or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Board thinks fit. Where for the purposes of its disposal a forfeited Share is to be transferred to any person, the Board may authorise some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Share in favour of that person.

18.4  A person any of whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Member in respect of them and shall surrender to the Company for cancellation the certificate for the Shares forfeited and shall remain liable to pay to the Company all monies which at the date of forfeiture were payable by him to the Company in respect of those Shares together with interest at such rate as the Board may determine, but his or her liability shall cease if and when the Company shall have received payment in full of all monies due and payable by him in respect of those Shares.

Annex D-12

Table of Contents

18.5  A declaration by a Director or the Secretary that a Share has been forfeited on a specified date shall be conclusive evidence of the facts stated in it as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the Share. The declaration shall (subject to the execution of an instrument of transfer by the Company if necessary) constitute a good title to the Share and the person to whom the Share is sold or otherwise disposed of shall not be bound to see to the application of the consideration, if any, nor shall his or her title to the Share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale or disposal of the Share.

18.6  The provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the par value of the Share or by way of premium as if it had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

19     Transmission of Shares

19.1  If a Member dies, the survivor or survivors (where the deceased was a joint holder), or the legal personal representatives of the deceased (where such Member was a sole holder), shall be the only persons recognized by the Company as having any title to the Member’s interest in the Shares, but nothing herein contained shall release the estate of any such deceased Member from any liability in respect of any Share, for which the Member was a joint or sole holder.

19.2  Any person becoming entitled to a Share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other way than by transfer) may, upon such evidence being produced as may be required by the Board, elect, by a notice in writing sent by such person to the Company, either to become the holder of such Share or to have some person nominated by him registered as the holder of such Share. If such person elects to have another person registered as the holder of such Share such person shall sign an instrument of transfer of that Share to that person. The Board shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the relevant Member before his or her death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution, as the case may be.

19.3  A person becoming entitled to a Share by reason of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other case than by transfer) shall be entitled to the same Dividends, other distributions and other advantages to which such person would be entitled if such person were the registered holder of such Share. However, such person shall not, before becoming registered as a Member in respect of a Share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to general meetings of the Company and the Board may at any time give notice requiring any such person to elect either to be registered themselves or to have some person nominated by such person to be registered as the holder of the Share (but the Board shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the relevant Member before their death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution or any other case than by transfer, as the case may be). If the notice is not complied with within ninety (90) days of being received or deemed to be received (as determined pursuant to these Articles), the Board may thereafter withhold payment of all Dividends, other distributions, bonuses or other monies payable in respect of the Share until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

20     Untraceable Members

20.1  Without prejudice to the rights of the Company under Article 20.2, the Company may cease sending cheques for dividend entitlements or dividend warrants by post if such cheques or warrants have been left uncashed on two consecutive occasions. However, the Company may exercise the power to cease sending cheques for dividend entitlements or dividend warrants after the first occasion on which such a cheque or warrant is returned undelivered.

20.2  The Company shall have the power to sell, in such manner as the Board thinks fit, any shares of a Member who is untraceable, but no such sale shall be made unless:

(a)     all cheques or warrants payable in cash to the holder of such shares in respect of them sent during the relevant period in the manner authorised by these Articles have remained uncashed;

(b)    so far as it is aware at the end of the relevant period, the Company has not at any time during the relevant period received any indication of the existence of the Member who is the holder of such shares or of a person entitled to such shares by death, bankruptcy or operation of law; and

27.7  Votes given in accordance with the terms of an instrument of proxy shall be valid notwithstanding the previous death or insanity of the principal or revocation of the proxy or of the authority under which the proxy was executed, or the transfer of the Share in respect of which the proxy is given unless notice in writing of such death, insanity, revocation or transfer was received by the Company at the Registered Office before the commencement of the general meeting, or adjourned meeting at which it is sought to use the proxy.

27.8  If both a Member who has appointed a proxy pursuant to a voting agreement and the proxy appointed by that Member attend a general meeting and the proxy casts a vote, the vote cast by the proxy, rather than any vote cast by the Member personally, shall be counted to the exclusion of any vote purportedly cast by the Member.

28     Corporate Members

28.1  Any corporation or other non-natural person which is a Member may in accordance with its constitutional documents, or in the absence of such provision by resolution of its directors or other governing body, authorise such person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of the Company or of any Class of Members, and the person so authorised shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the corporation which such person represents as the corporation could exercise if it were an individual Member.

28.2  If a Clearing House (or its nominee(s)), being a corporation, is a Member, it may authorise such persons as it sees fit to act as its representative at any meeting of the Company or at any meeting of any Class of Members provided that the authorisation shall specify the number and Class of Shares in respect of which each such representative is so authorised. Each person so authorised under the provisions of this Article 28 shall be deemed to have been duly authorised without further evidence of the facts and be entitled to exercise the same rights and powers on behalf of the Clearing House (or its nominee(s)) as if such person was the registered holder of such Shares held by the Clearing House (or its nominee(s)).

29     Shares that May Not be Voted

Annex D-21

Table of Contents

30.2  The Board shall be and is divided into three (3) classes, designated as Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class will consist, as nearly as possible, of a number of Directors equal to one-third (1/3) of the total number of members of the Board authorised as provided in Article 30.1. The Board is authorised to assign members of the Board already in office to such classes at the time the classification of the Board becomes effective pursuant to this Article 30.2. At the 2022 annual general meeting, all Class I Director terms shall expire and the Class I Directors shall be eligible for re-election. At 2023 annual general meeting after the adoption of these Articles, all Class II Director terms shall expire and the Class II Directors shall be eligible for re-election. At 2024 general meeting after the adoption of these Articles, all Class III Director terms shall expire, and the Class III Directors shall be eligible for re-election. At each annual general meeting, the successors of that class of Directors whose term expires at that meeting will be elected to hold office in accordance with this Article 30.2 for a term expiring at the annual general meeting held in the third (3rd) year following the year of their election. The Directors of each class will hold office until the expiration of the term of such class and until their respective successors are elected and qualified or until such Director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.

30.3  Except as the Statute or other Applicable Law may otherwise require, and subject to the rights of any Preference Shares or other contractual rights with Members that provide for the appointment of Directors, in the interim between annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings called for the appointment of Directors and/or the removal of one (1) or more Directors and the filling of any vacancy in connection therewith, or any vacancies in the Board, or appointment of any additional Directors may be filled by the vote of a majority of the remaining Directors then in office, although less than a quorum (as defined in these Articles), or by the sole remaining Director. All Directors shall hold office until the expiration of their respective terms of office and until their successors shall have been appointed and qualified. A Director appointed to fill a vacancy resulting from the death, resignation or removal of a Director shall serve for the remainder of the full term of the Director whose death, resignation or removal shall have created such vacancy and until his or her successor shall have been appointed and qualified. No decrease in the number of Directors constituting the Board shall shorten the terms of any incumbent Director.

30.4  In any vote of Members to appoint Directors, each person nominated for appointment as a Director in an uncontested election shall be appointed if the number of votes cast for the person’s appointment exceeds the number of votes cast against the person’s appointment. In all votes to appoint Directors other than uncontested elections, the persons receiving the largest number of votes cast for appointment, up to the number of Directors to be appointed in such vote, shall be deemed appointed.

30.5  A Director may be removed from office only for cause by Special Resolution of the Company.

31     Powers and Duties of Directors

31.1  Subject to the provisions of the Statute, the Memorandum and these Articles and to any directions given by Special Resolution, the business of the Company shall be managed by the Board which may exercise all the powers of the Company. No alteration of the Memorandum or Articles and no such direction shall invalidate any prior act of the Board which would have been valid if that alteration had not been made or that direction had not been given. A duly convened meeting of the Board at which a quorum is present may exercise all powers exercisable by the Board.

31.2  All cheques, promissory notes, drafts, bills of exchange and other negotiable or transferable instruments and all receipts for monies paid to the Company shall be signed, drawn, accepted, endorsed or otherwise executed as the case may be in such manner as the Board shall determine by resolution.

31.4  The Board may exercise all the powers of the Company to borrow money and to mortgage or charge its undertaking, property and assets (present and future) and uncalled capital or any part thereof and to issue debentures, debenture stock, mortgages, bonds and other such securities whether outright or as security for any debt, liability or obligation of the Company or of any third party.

Annex D-22

31.5  The Board may, from time to time, and except as required by Applicable Law or the Designated Stock Exchange Rules, adopt, institute, amend, modify or revoke the corporate governance policies or initiatives of the Company, which shall be intended to set forth the guiding principles and policies of the Company and the Board on various corporate governance related matters as the Board shall determine by resolution from time to time.

32     Vacation of Office of Director

The office of a Director shall be vacated if:

(a)     the Director gives notice in writing to the Company that such Director resigns the office of Director;

(b)    the Director absents himself or herself (for the avoidance of doubt, without being represented by proxy) from three (3) consecutive meetings of the Board without special leave of absence from the Board, and the Board passes a resolution that the Director has by reason of such absence vacated office;

(c)     the Director dies, becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with such Director’s creditors generally;

(d)    the Director is found to be or becomes of unsound mind; or

(e)     the Director is prohibited by any Applicable Law or relevant code applicable to the listing of the Shares on the Designated Stock Exchange, from being a Director.

33     Proceedings of Directors

33.1  The quorum necessary for the transaction of the business of the Board may be fixed by the Board, and unless so fixed shall be a majority of the Directors then in office. In no event shall the Board fix a quorum that is less than one-third (1/3) of the total number of Directors, provided always that if there shall at any time be only a sole Director the quorum shall be one (1).

33.2  Subject to the provisions of these Articles, the Board shall meet together for the dispatch of business, convening, adjourning and otherwise regulating their meetings and procedures as they think fit. Questions arising at any meeting shall be decided by a majority of votes of the Directors present at a meeting at which there is a quorum. In the case of an equality of votes, the chairperson shall not have a second or casting vote.

33.3  A person may participate in a meeting of the Board or any committee of the Board by conference telephone, other communications equipment or any other Electronic Facility. Participation by a person in a meeting in this manner is treated as presence in person at that meeting. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the meeting shall be deemed to be held at the place where the chairperson is located at the start of the meeting.

33.4  A resolution in writing (in one or more counterparts) signed by all the Directors or all the members of a committee of the Board or, in the case of a resolution in writing relating to the removal of any Director or the vacation of office by any Director, all of the Directors other than the Director who is the subject of such resolution shall be as valid and effectual as if it had been passed at a meeting of the Board, or committee of the Board as the case may be, duly convened and held.

33.5  Regular meetings of the Board may be held at such times and places as may be provided for in resolutions adopted by the Board. No additional notice of a regularly scheduled meeting of the Board shall be required.

33.6  A Director may, or other Officer on the direction of a Director shall, call a meeting of the Board by at least two (2) days’ notice in writing to every Director which notice shall set forth the general nature of the business to be considered unless notice is waived by all the Directors either at, before or after the meeting is held and provided further if notice is given in person, by telephone, cable, telex, telecopy or email the same shall be deemed to have been given on the day it is delivered to the Board or transmitting organisation as the case may be. If the Director attends the meeting, the Director’s attendance constitutes a waiver of notice of the meeting, unless the Director attends for the sole purpose of objecting to the notice. To any such notice of a meeting of the Board all the provisions of these Articles relating to the giving of notices by the Company to the Members shall apply mutatis mutandis. The accidental omission to give notice of a meeting of the Board to, or the non-receipt of notice of a meeting by any person entitled to receive notice shall not invalidate the proceedings of that meeting.

Annex D-23

Table of Contents

33.7  The continuing Directors (or a sole continuing Director, as the case may be) may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their body, but if and so long as their number is reduced below the number fixed by or pursuant to these Articles as the necessary quorum of Directors the continuing Directors or Director may act for the purpose of increasing the number of Directors to be equal to such fixed number, or of summoning a general meeting of the Company, but for no other purpose.

33.8  The Directors may elect a chairperson of their board and determine the period for which the chairperson so elected is to hold office; but if no such chairperson is elected, or if at any meeting the chairperson is not present within five (5) minutes after the time appointed for the meeting to commence, the Directors present may choose one of their number to be chairperson of the meeting.

33.9  All acts done by any meeting of the Board or of a committee of the Board shall, notwithstanding that it is afterwards discovered that there was some defect in the appointment of any Director, and/or that they or any of them were disqualified, and/or had vacated their office and/or were not entitled to vote, be as valid as if every such person had been duly appointed and/or not disqualified to be a Director and/or had not vacated their office and/or had been entitled to vote, as the case may be.

34     Presumption of Assent

34.1  A Director who is present at a meeting of the Board at which action on any Company matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless his or her dissent shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless he or she shall file his or her written dissent from such action with the person acting as the chairperson or Secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or shall forward such dissent by registered post to such person immediately after the adjournment of the meeting. Such right to dissent shall not apply to a Director who voted in favour of such action.

35     Directors’ Interests

35.1  A Director may hold any other office or place of profit under the Company (other than the office of Auditor) in conjunction with his or her office of Director for such period and on such terms as to remuneration and otherwise as the Board may determine.

35.2  A Director may act by himself or herself or by, through or on behalf of his or her firm in a professional capacity for the Company and he or she or his or her firm shall be entitled to remuneration for professional services as if he or she were not a Director.

35.4  No person shall be disqualified from the office of Director or prevented by such office from contracting with the Company, either as vendor, purchaser or otherwise, nor shall any such contract or any contract or transaction entered into by or on behalf of the Company in which any Director shall be in any way interested be or be liable to be avoided, nor shall any Director so contracting or being so interested be liable to account to the Company for any profit realized by or arising in connection with any such contract or transaction by reason of such Director holding office or of the fiduciary relationship thereby established. A Director shall be at liberty to vote in respect of any contract or transaction in which such Director is interested provided that the nature of the interest of any Director in any such contract or transaction shall be disclosed by him or her at or prior to its consideration and any vote thereon.

35.5  A general notice that a Director is a Member, director, officer or employee of any specified firm or company and is to be regarded as interested in any transaction with such firm or company shall be sufficient disclosure for the purposes of voting on a resolution in respect of a contract or transaction in which he or she has an interest, and after such general notice it shall not be necessary to give special notice relating to any particular transaction.

41.1  Subject to the Statute and this Article 41 and except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to any Shares, the Board may from time to time declare or resolve to pay Dividends (including interim dividends) or other distributions on Shares in issue and authorise payment of the Dividends or other distributions out of the funds of the Company lawfully available therefor. A Dividend shall be deemed to be an interim Dividend unless the terms of the resolution pursuant to which the Board resolves to pay such Dividend specifically state that such Dividend shall be a final Dividend. No Dividend or other distribution shall be paid except out of the realized or unrealized profits of the Company, out of the Share Premium Account or as otherwise permitted by Applicable Law.

41.2  Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to any Shares, all Dividends and other distributions shall be paid according to the par value of the Shares that a Member holds.

41.3  The Board may deduct from any Dividend or other distribution payable to any Member all sums of money (if any) then payable by him to the Company on account of calls or otherwise.

Annex D-26

Table of Contents

41.4  The Board may resolve that any Dividend or other distribution be paid wholly or partly by the distribution of specific assets and in particular (but without limitation) by the distribution of shares, debentures, or securities of any other company or in any one or more of such ways and where any difficulty arises in regard to such distribution, the Board may settle the same as they think expedient and in particular may issue fractional Shares and may fix the value for distribution of such specific assets or any part thereof and may determine that cash payments shall be made to any Members upon the basis of the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of all Members and may vest any such specific assets in trustees in such manner as may seem expedient to the Board.

41.5  Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to any Shares, Dividends and other distributions may be paid in any currency. The Board may determine the basis of conversion for any currency conversions that may be required and how any costs involved are to be met.

41.6  The Board may, before resolving to pay any Dividend or other distribution, set aside such sums as they think proper as a reserve or reserves which shall, at the discretion of the Board, be applicable for any purpose of the Company and pending such application may, at the discretion of the Board, be employed in the business of the Company.

41.7  Any Dividend, other distribution, interest or other monies payable in cash in respect of Shares may be paid by wire transfer to the holder or by cheque or warrant sent through the post directed to the registered address of the holder or, in the case of joint holders, to the registered address of the holder who is first named on the Register of Members or to such person and to such address as such holder or joint holders may in writing direct. Every such cheque or warrant or electronic or other payment shall be made payable to the order of the person to whom it is sent. Any one of two (2) or more joint holders may give effectual receipts for any Dividends, other distributions, bonuses, or other monies payable in respect of the Share held by them as joint holders.

41.8  No Dividend or other distribution shall bear interest against the Company.

41.9  Any Dividend or other distribution which cannot be paid to a Member and/or which remains unclaimed after six (6) months from the date on which such Dividend or other distribution becomes payable may, in the discretion of the Board, be paid into a separate account in the Company’s name, provided that the Company shall not be constituted as a trustee in respect of that account and the Dividend or other distribution shall remain as a debt due to the Member. Any Dividend or other distribution which remains unclaimed after a period of six (6) years from the date of declaration of such Dividend or other distribution shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Company.

42     Capitalisation

42.1  The Board may at any time capitalise any sum standing to the credit of any of the Company’s reserve accounts or funds (including the Share Premium Account and capital redemption reserve fund) or any sum standing to the credit of the profit and loss account or otherwise available for distribution; appropriate such sum to Members in the proportions in which such sum would have been divisible amongst such Members had the same been a distribution of profits by way of Dividend or other distribution; and apply such sum on their behalf in paying up in full unissued Shares for allotment and distribution credited as fully paid-up to and amongst them in the proportion aforesaid. In such event the Board shall do all acts and things required to give effect to such capitalisation, with full power given to the Board to make such provisions as they think fit in the case of Shares becoming distributable in fractions (including provisions whereby the benefit of fractional entitlements accrue to the Company rather than to the Members concerned). The Board may authorise any person to enter on behalf of all of the Members interested into an agreement with the Company providing for such capitalisation and matters incidental or relating thereto and any agreement made under such authority shall be effective and binding on all such Members and the Company.

(a)     if the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be insufficient to repay the whole of the Company’s issued share capital, such assets shall be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses shall be borne by the Members in proportion to the par value of the Shares held by them; or

(b)    if the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the Company’s issued share capital at the commencement of the winding up, the surplus shall be distributed amongst the Members in proportion to the par value of the Shares held by them at the commencement of the winding up subject to a deduction from those Shares in respect of which there are monies due, of all monies payable to the Company for unpaid calls or otherwise.

47.2  If the Company shall be wound up the liquidator may, subject to the rights attaching to any Shares and with the approval of a Special Resolution of the Company and any other approval required by the Statute, divide amongst the Members in kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether such assets shall consist of property of the same kind or not) and may for that purpose value any assets and determine how the division shall be carried out as between the Members or different Classes of Members. The liquidator may, with the like approval, vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the Members as the liquidator, with the like approval, shall think fit, but so that no Member shall be compelled to accept any asset upon which there is a liability.

47.3  This Article 47 is without prejudice to the rights of the holders of Shares issued upon special terms and conditions.

48     Indemnity and Insurance

48.1  To the fullest extent permitted by law, no Director, Officer or trustee acting in relation to any of the affairs of the Company shall be personally liable to the Company or its Members for any loss arising or liability attaching to such Director, Officer or trustee by virtue of any rule of law in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which such Director, Officer or trustee may be guilty in relation to the Company; provided, however, that this provision shall not apply to liability arising from any actual fraud, wilful default or wilful neglect of such Director, Officer or trustee. No person shall be found to have committed actual fraud, wilful default or wilful neglect under this Article 48.1 unless or until a court of competent jurisdiction shall have made a final non-appealable finding to that effect. This Article 48.1 shall not extend to any matter that would render it void pursuant to the Statute or Applicable Law or to any person holding the office of Auditor in relation to the Company.

48.2  To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify any current or former Director or Officer or any person who is serving or has served at the request of the Company as a Director or Officer and any trustee acting in relation to any of the affairs of the Company and their respective heirs, executors, administrators and personal representatives (each individually, a “Covered Person”), against any expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, demand or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than a proceeding by, or in the name or on behalf of, the Company, addressed in Article 48.3), to which he or she was, is, or is threatened to be made, a party or in which he or she is otherwise involved, (a “proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a Covered Person; provided, however, that this provision shall not indemnify any Covered Person against any liability arising out of any actual fraud, wilful default or wilful neglect of such Covered Person. No Person shall be found to have committed actual fraud, wilful default or wilful neglect under this Article 48.2 unless or until a court of competent jurisdiction shall have made a final non-appealable finding to that effect. This Article 48.2 shall not extend to any matter which would render it void pursuant to the Statute, Applicable Law or to any person holding the office of Auditor in relation to the Company.

48.3  In the case of any threatened, pending or completed proceeding by, or in the name or on behalf of, the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify each Covered Person against reasonable and documented expenses, including attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defence or settlement thereof, except that no indemnification for expenses shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such Covered Person shall have been finally adjudged to be liable for actual fraud, wilful default or wilful neglect in the performance of his or her duty to the Company, unless and only to the extent that the Grand Court in the Cayman Islands or the court in which such proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that such Covered Person is entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court shall deem proper. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, this Article 48.3 shall not extend to any matter that would render it void pursuant to the Statute or to any person holding the office of Auditor in relation to the Company.

48.4  To the fullest extent permitted by law, reasonable and documented expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by a Covered Person in defending any proceeding for which indemnification is permitted pursuant to these Articles shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding upon receipt

48.6  The Board may, notwithstanding any interest of the Board in such action, authorise the Company to purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any Director or Officer against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of these Articles.
