(1) On May 15, 2026, Cantor Equity Partners III, Inc. ("CAEP") issued Cantor EP Holdings III, LLC (the "Sponsor") 102,009 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of CAEP ("Class A Ordinary Shares") in repayment of amounts outstanding under the promissory note, dated June 25, 2025, at $10.00 per share in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of November 7, 2025, by and among CAEP, AIR Global PLC (formerly known as AIR Holdings Limited) ("Pubco"), AIR Limited ("AIR"), and the other parties thereto (the "Business Combination Agreement" and the transactions contemplated thereto, the "Business Combination"), and that certain Sponsor Support Agreement dated November 7, 2025, by and among CAEP, Pubco, AIR and the Sponsor (the "Sponsor Support Agreement").
(2) On May 15, 2026, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, an aggregate of 3,400,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of CAEP ("Class B Ordinary Shares") were surrendered for cancellation by the Sponsor to CAEP for no consideration in accordance with the Sponsor Support Agreement (the "Class B Cancellation"). Following the Class B Cancellation, the Sponsor owned 3,500,000 Class B Ordinary Shares.
(3) As described in CAEP's registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-287847) under the heading "Description of Securities", the Class B Ordinary Shares will automatically convert into Class A Ordinary Shares at the time of CAEP's initial business combination, or at any time and from time to time at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for share sub-divisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and certain anti-dilution rights set forth in the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of CAEP. As a result, immediately prior to the Cayman Merger (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), an aggregate of 3,500,000 Class B Ordinary Shares held by the Sponsor were exchanged into an equal number of Class A Ordinary Shares. Following such transaction, the Sponsor owns zero Class B Ordinary Shares and 4,182,009 Class A Ordinary Shares.
(4) In connection with the Cayman Merger (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), an aggregate of 4,182,009 Class A Ordinary Shares held by the Sponsor were exchanged into an equal number of ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of Pubco. Following such transaction, the Sponsor owns zero Class A Ordinary Shares.
(5) The Sponsor is the record holder of the shares reported herein. Cantor Fitzgerald, L.P. ("CFLP") is the sole member of the Sponsor. CF Group Management, Inc. ("CFGM") is the managing general partner of CFLP. Brandon Lutnick is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Sponsor, CFLP, and CFGM and also the trustee with decision making control of trusts that hold all of the voting shares of CFGM. As such, each of CFLP, CFGM and Mr. Lutnick may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the shares directly held by the Sponsor. Each such entity or person disclaims any beneficial ownership of the reported shares other than to the extent of any pecuniary interest they may have therein, directly or indirectly.
