These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this press release, and on the current expectations of GTAC's and Tyfon's management and are not predictions of actual performance.

Although each of GTAC and Tyfon believes that it has a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this press release, each of GTAC and Tyfon cautions you that these statements are based on a combination of facts and factors currently known and projections of the future, which are inherently uncertain. In addition, there will be risks and uncertainties described in the proxy statement/prospectus included in the registration statement on Form F-4 relating to the Business Combination, which was filed by GTAC with the SEC on May 24, 2024 (the "Registration Statement") and other documents filed by GTAC from time to time with the SEC. These filings may identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Neither GTAC nor Tyfon can assure you that the forward-looking statements in this press release will prove to be accurate. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, among others, the inability of the GTAC and Tyfon to successfully or timely consummate the Business Combination due to the failure to obtain approval from GTAC's shareholders or to satisfy other closing conditions in the Business Combination Agreement; the occurrence of any event that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement; the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination; risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to Tyfon; the amount of redemption requests made by GTAC's public shareholders; costs related to the Business Combination; the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; the outcome of any potential litigation, government or regulatory proceedings; the ability of GTAC and/or Tyfon to raise capital, including the amount of such capital raise, and the terms on which any capital is raise; economic and social development and government policies in the PRC; the ability of Tyfon to anticipate and respond to the changes in customer preferences and demands; the ability of Tyfon to maintain and enlarge business relationships with its customers; risks relating to the appraisal, certification, verification and pricing of collectibles; the ability of Tyfon to host successful offline exhibitions and promotions and maintain its sales and marketing activities; Tyfon's exposure to concentration risks in terms of revenue generation; Tyfon's exposure to reputation risks and losses in the event of title claims, copyright claims and other liabilities from sales of collectibles; the risk of system disruptions or other hacking or phishing attacks on Tyfon's system and security breaches; the risk of Tyfon's failure to comply with the evolving laws, regulations and government policies, including regarding privacy and data protection; Tyfon's exposure to rapid changes in technology and the inability to keep up with technological developments; the risk of the loss, damage or theft of the collectibles; and other risks and uncertainties, including those to be included under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Registration Statement and those included under the heading "Risk Factors" in the annual report on Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2023 of GTAC and in its subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and other filings with the SEC. There may be additional risks that neither GTAC nor Tyfon presently know or that GTAC and Tyfon currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, nothing in this press release should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. The forward-looking statements in this press release represent the views of GTAC and Tyfon as of the date of this press release. Subsequent events and developments may cause those views to change. However, while GTAC and Tyfon may update these forward-looking statements in the future, there is no current intention to do so and GTAC and Tyfon disclaim any obligation to do so, except to the extent required by applicable law. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing the views of GTAC or Tyfon as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release.
