Termination of Engagement Letters
On September 20, 2023, Vahanna, including any successor thereto, entered into a Termination of Engagement Letters Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) with Mizuho relating to the Underwriting Agreement, dated November 22, 2021, by and between Vahanna and Mizuho, that certain Letter Agreement dated as of June 22, 2022, by and between Vahanna and Mizuho, and that certain Letter Agreement, dated as of May 30, 2023, by and between Vahanna and Mizuho (collectively, and as the same have been amended or modified through the date hereof, the “Engagement Letters”), pursuant to which Vahanna or any successor thereto agreed to pay (or cause to be paid) to Mizuho a one-time fee equal to $3,000,000 (“Closing Payment”) for services performed under the Engagement Letters, and which Closing Payment will be set forth in a promissory note to be entered into between Vahanna or any successor thereto and Mizuho within ten business days following the date of the Termination Agreement. The promissory note will have a maturity date of eighteen (18) months from the consummation of the Business Combination. Vahanna or any successor thereto will use its best efforts to pay the Closing Payment on or prior to March 31, 2024. If the Closing Payment is not paid in full on or prior to March 31, 2024, then, on April 1, 2024 and on the first day of each calendar month thereafter, the amount of the Closing Payment shall increase by $20,000, until such time as the Closing Payment (as so increased) is paid in full.
The Closing Payment shall be paid from proceeds received by Vahanna or any successor thereto or its subsidiaries in excess of $20 million from financing transactions to be undertaken by Vahanna or any successor thereto or its subsidiaries following the Closing Date (but excluding short-term working capital financings, the “Alternative Financings”). For aggregate proceeds from Alternative Financings in excess of $20 million, payments made on the Closing Payment shall be paid on a priority basis compared to those other deferred fees incurred by Vahanna or any successor thereto that were payable in connection with the Business Combination (the “Other Deferred Fees”). Aggregate proceeds from Alternative Financings in excess of $20 million shall be used exclusively for the Closing Payment and the Other Deferred Fees.
In consideration for the Closing Payment, effective as of the Closing Date, the Engagement Letters were automatically terminated and have no further force or effect, except (i) Vahanna or any successor thereto and Mizuho shall continue to be bound by the indemnification provisions set forth in the Engagement Letters, (ii) Vahanna or any successor thereto and Mizuho shall continue to be bound by the confidentiality provisions set forth in the Engagement Letters, and (iii) Mizuho shall retain the right to publicize its role as an advisor to Vahanna as set forth in the Engagement Letters.
The foregoing description of the Termination of Engagement Letters is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the form of Indemnification Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.11 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

FORM 10
Item 2.01(f) of Form 8-K provides that if the registrant was a “shell company” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as RDZN was immediately before the Business Combination, then the registrant must disclose the information that would be required if the registrant were filing a general form for registration of securities on Form 10. As a result of the consummation of the Business Combination, and as discussed below in Item 5.06 of this Report, RDZN has ceased to be a shell company. Accordingly, RDZN is providing the information below that would be included in a Form 10 if RDZN were to file a Form 10.
