Pursuant to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Charter”) of Horizon Space Acquisition I Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company” or “HSPO”), the Company currently has until December 27, 2024 to complete its initial business combination. However, the Company may extend the period of time to consummate a business combination by up to twelve one-month extensions, up to December 27, 2025, subject to Horizon Space Acquisition I Sponsor Corp., a Cayman Islands company, the sponsor of the Company (the “Sponsor”) and/or its designee, depositing $120,000 (the “Monthly Extension Fee”) into the trust account of the Company (the “Trust Account”).

The Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $120,000 (the “Note”) dated December 27, 2024 to Shenzhen Squirrel in connection with the payment of the Monthly Extension Fee.
