Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Business Combination Agreement
On May 27, 2026, Translational Development Acquisition Corp., a
Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability (“TDAC”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may
be amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Prologium Holding
Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability (“ProLogium” or the “Company”), PLG Merger Sub
1, a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability and a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub 1”),
and PLG Merger Sub 2, a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability and a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of the Company (“Merger
Sub 2” and, together with Merger Sub 1, the “Acquisition Entities”).
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, among other transactions
and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, immediately following the Recapitalization (as defined below), (i) at
the effective time of the First Merger (the “First Merger Effective Time”), Merger Sub 1 will merge with and into TDAC (the
“First Merger”), whereupon the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub 1 will cease and TDAC will be the surviving company
and continue as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and (ii) immediately after the consummation of the First Merger, TDAC,
as the surviving company of the First Merger, will merge with and into Merger Sub 2 (the “Second Merger” and, together with
the First Merger, the “Mergers”), whereupon the separate corporate existence of TDAC will cease and Merger Sub 2 will be the
surviving company and continue as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination
Agreement are referred to herein as the “Business Combination.”
The Business Combination
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, on the closing date
of the Business Combination (the “Closing Date”), immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time, the Company will adopt
an amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Listing A&R AoA”), which will become effective upon
the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), and will implement a recapitalization of its share capital (the “Recapitalization”).
The Recapitalization will include a share consolidation pursuant to
which each common share and preferred share of the Company outstanding or authorized immediately prior to the First Merger Effective
Time (collectively, the “Pre-Recapitalization Company Shares”) will be consolidated into a number of shares equal to the
Consolidation Factor (as defined below). Following such share consolidation, the resulting shares will be repurchased and cancelled by
the Company in exchange for the issuance of Company ordinary shares, with the class of Company ordinary shares determined as set forth
in the Business Combination Agreement and the Listing A&R AoA. The “Consolidation Factor” means the quotient obtained
by dividing the Per Share Equity Value by $10.00, and “Per Share Equity Value” means the equity value of the Company divided
by the aggregate number of Pre-Recapitalization Company Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Recapitalization. The
press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report describes the Business Combination as implying an approximately $3.8 billion
valuation for ProLogium on a net cash-free basis.
At the First Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and
without any action on the part of TDAC, the Company, Merger Sub 1 or the holders of TDAC securities, each issued and outstanding Class A
ordinary share of TDAC, par value $0.0001 per share (“TDAC Class A Ordinary Shares”), other than any TDAC Class A
Ordinary Shares held by holders who validly exercise and do not effectively withdraw or lose their dissenter rights under Section 238
of the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands (the “Cayman Islands Companies Act”), will be cancelled in exchange
for the right to receive one (1) Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Company Class A
Ordinary Share”). Each issued and outstanding TDAC ordinary share held by a holder who validly exercises and does not effectively
withdraw or lose such dissenter rights will be cancelled and will carry no rights other than the right to receive the fair value of such
share determined in accordance with Section 238 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act.
At the First Merger Effective Time, each outstanding and unexercised
warrant of TDAC (“TDAC Warrant”) will be converted into and become the right to receive a warrant of the Company on the same
terms and conditions as the applicable TDAC Warrant. The Company is expected to be named ProLogium Technology and to be listed on Nasdaq
under the ticker symbol PRLG following the Closing.
The Business Combination Agreement has been approved by the boards
of directors of TDAC, the Company and each of the Acquisition Entities.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On May 27,
2026, TDAC and ProLogium issued a joint press release announcing their entry into the Business Combination Agreement. A copy of the press

and incorporated into this Item 7.01 by reference is an investor presentation that TDAC and ProLogium have prepared for use in connection
with the announcement of the Business Combination.
The
information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit s 99.1 and 99.2, is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 and will not be deemed
to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise
be subject to the liabilities of that section, nor will it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities
Act or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings. This Current Report will not be deemed an
admission as to the materiality of any information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act that are based on beliefs and assumptions and on information
currently available to ProLogium and TDAC. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the following words: “may,”
“will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,”
“anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,”
“continue,” “ongoing,” “target,” “seek” or the negative or plural of these words, or
other similar expressions that are predictions or indicate future events or prospects, although not all forward-looking statements contain
these words. Any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including
projections of market opportunity, number of customers, vendors or users and market share, the capability of ProLogium’s technology,
ProLogium’s business plans including its plans to expand globally, the sources and uses of proceeds from the Business Combination,
the anticipated enterprise value of the combined company following the consummation of the Business Combination, any benefits of ProLogium’s
partnerships, strategies or plans as they relate to the Business Combination, anticipated benefits of the Business Combination and expectations
related to the terms and timing of the Business Combination are also forward-looking statements.
These statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that
may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by
these forward-looking statements. These statements are based on ProLogium’s and TDAC’s reasonable expectations and beliefs
concerning future events and involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations.
These factors are difficult to predict accurately and may be beyond ProLogium’s and TDAC’s control. Forward-looking statements
in this Current Report speak only as of the date made. New uncertainties and risks arise from time to time, and it is impossible for ProLogium
or TDAC to predict these events or how they may affect ProLogium or TDAC. In addition, there will be risks and uncertainties described
in the proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Business Combination, which is expected to be filed by ProLogium with the SEC, and other
documents filed by ProLogium or TDAC 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 ProLogium nor TDAC can assure you that the forward-looking
statements in this Current Report will prove to be accurate. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties,
including, among others, the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could delay, impede or prevent the Business Combination
or give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against
ProLogium or TDAC, the combined company or others following the announcement of the Business Combination; the inability to complete the
Business Combination due to the failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of ProLogium or TDAC or to satisfy other conditions to
closing; failure to obtain the TDAC Extension, the amount of redemption requests made by TDAC’s public shareholders or the Company
Shareholders; the ability to maintain the stock exchange listing standards following the consummation of the Business Combination; the
risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of ProLogium or TDAC as a result of the announcement and consummation
of the Business Combination; the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination; costs related to the Business
Combination; changes in applicable laws or regulations; international trade disputes, including threatened or implemented tariffs by
the U.S. and threatened or implemented tariffs by foreign countries in retaliation; the ability of ProLogium to execute its business
model, including market acceptance of its planned products and services; the combined company’s ability to raise capital; future
financial performance of the combined company following the Business Combination; the possibility that TDAC or the combined company may
be adversely affected by other economic, business and/or competitive factors; risks associated with ProLogium’s efforts to commercialize
its products; ProLogium’s ability to maintain its existing agreements with third parties and to negotiate and enter into new definitive
agreements on favorable terms, if at all; the impact of competing products on ProLogium’s business; intellectual property-related
claims against ProLogium or the combined company; ProLogium’s dependence upon its key personnel and ability to attract and retain
such personnel and additional qualified personnel; ProLogium’s ability to source raw materials for its products; and other risks
and uncertainties to be set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the registration statement on Form F-4 to be
filed by ProLogium with the SEC and those included under the heading “Risk Factors” in TDAC’s filings with the SEC.
There may be additional risks that neither ProLogium nor TDAC presently knows or that ProLogium and TDAC 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, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by ProLogium, TDAC, their respective directors, officers
or employees or any other person that ProLogium or TDAC will achieve their objectives and plans in any specified time frame, or at all.
The forward-looking statements in this Current Report represent the views of ProLogium and TDAC as of the date of this Current Report.
Subsequent events and developments may cause those views to change. Except as required by applicable law, neither ProLogium nor TDAC has
any duty to, and does not intend to, update or revise the forward-looking statements in this Current Report after the date of this Current
Report. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing the views of ProLogium or TDAC as of any date
subsequent to the date of this Current Report.
Additional Information and Where to Find It
In connection with the Business Combination, ProLogium is expected
to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form F-4, which will include a proxy statement of TDAC and a prospectus of ProLogium.
TDAC shareholders and other interested persons are encouraged to read, when available, the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus included
in the registration statement and any other documents filed with the SEC because these documents will contain important information about
ProLogium, TDAC and the Business Combination. After the registration statement is declared effective, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus
to be included in the registration statement will be mailed to shareholders of TDAC as of a record date to be established for voting on
the Business Combination. Before making any voting or investment decision, investors and shareholders of TDAC are urged to carefully read
the entire registration statement and proxy statement/prospectus, when they become available, and any other relevant documents filed with
the SEC, as well as any amendments or supplements to these documents, because they will contain important information about the Business
Combination. The documents filed by TDAC and ProLogium with the SEC may be obtained free of charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Participants in the Solicitation
ProLogium, TDAC and their respective directors and executive officers
may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from TDAC shareholders with respect to the Business Combination. A list

Agreements or the voting and other arrangements under the TDAC Governing Document, (c) take any action that would reasonably be
expected to make any representation or warranty of Sponsor herein untrue or incorrect, or would reasonably be expected to have the
effect of preventing or disabling Sponsor from performing its obligations hereunder, or (d) commit or agree to take any of the
foregoing actions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sponsor may make Transfers of the Subject Securities (A) pursuant to this
Agreement, (B) upon the consent of the Company and TDAC, (C) between Sponsor and any of its Affiliates and any of

Subject Securities. Any action attempted to be taken in violation of this Section 4.02 will be null and void. Sponsor agrees
with, and covenants to, the Company and TDAC that Sponsor shall not request TDAC to register the Transfer (by book-entry or

issued to Sponsor, including, without limitation, pursuant to any share dividend or distribution, or any change in any of the TDAC Ordinary
Shares or other share capital of TDAC by reason of any share subdivision, recapitalization, consolidation, exchange of shares or the
like, (b) Sponsor acquires legal or beneficial ownership of any TDAC Ordinary Shares after the date of this Agreement, including
upon exercise of options, settlement of restricted share units or capitalization of working capital loans, or (c) Sponsor acquires
the right to vote or share in the voting of any TDAC Ordinary Share after the date of this Agreement (collectively, the “ New

include such New Securities (including all such share dividends and distributions and any securities into which or for which any or all
of the Subject Securities may be changed or exchanged into).
Section 4.06. Letter

further consents, documents and other instruments as the Company or TDAC may reasonably request for the purpose of effectively consummating
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and (ii) refrain
from exercising any veto right, consent right or similar right (whether under the TDAC Governing Document or the Cayman Islands Companies

any other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or this Agreement, Sponsor’s identity and ownership of
the Subject Securities, the existence of this Agreement and the nature of Sponsor’s commitments and obligations under this Agreement,
and Sponsor acknowledges that the Company or TDAC may, in their sole discretion, file this Agreement or a form hereof with the SEC or
applicable securities exchange. Sponsor agrees to promptly give the Company or TDAC, as applicable, any information that is in its possession
that the Company or TDAC, as applicable, may reasonably request for the preparation of any such disclosure documents, and Sponsor agrees
to promptly notify the Company and TDAC of any required corrections with respect to any written information supplied by it specifically

Section 4.12. Lock-Up
Provisions.
(a) Subject
to the exceptions set forth herein, during the applicable Lock-Up Period (as defined below), Sponsor agrees not to, without the prior
written consent of the Company Board (which must include the consent of at least three (3) directors designated by the Company),
Transfer any Locked-Up Shares (as defined below) held by it. The foregoing limitations shall remain in full force and effect for a period
of twelve (12) months from and after the Closing (such period, the “ Lock-Up Period ”) with respect to all the
Locked-Up Shares. For purpose of this Section 4.12, “ Locked-Up Shares ” means (i) any Company Class A
Ordinary Shares held by Sponsor immediately after the First Merger Effective Time and (ii) any Company Warrants held by Sponsor
immediately after the First Merger Effective Time and any Company Class A Ordinary Shares acquired by Sponsor upon the conversion,
exercise or exchange of such Company Warrants.
(b) The
restrictions set forth in Section 4.12(a) (the “ Lock-Up Restrictions ”) shall not apply to:
(i) Transfers
to (a) the Sponsor’s officers or directors or any affiliate (as defined below) or immediate family (as defined below) of any
of the Sponsor’s officers or directors, (b) any shareholder, partner or member of the Sponsor
or their affiliates, (c) any affiliate of the Sponsor, or (d) any employees of the Sponsor or of its affiliates;
7
(ii) Transfers
by virtue of the laws of the state of the Sponsor’s organization and the entity’s organizational documents upon dissolution
of the Sponsor;
(iii) pledges
of any Locked-Up Shares to a financial institution that create a mere security interest in such Locked-Up Shares pursuant to a bona fide
loan or indebtedness transaction so long as Sponsor continues to control the exercise of the voting rights of such pledged Locked-Up
Shares as well as any foreclosures on such pledged Locked-Up Shares;
(iv) transactions
relating to Company Class A Ordinary Shares or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Company Class A
Ordinary Shares acquired in open market transactions after the Closing, provided that no such transaction is required to be, or
is, publicly announced (whether on Form 4, Form 5 or otherwise, other than a required filing on Schedule 13F, 13G or 13G/A)
during the applicable Lock-Up Period;
(v) the
establishment of a trading plan that meets the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act (a “ Trading Plan ”); provided , however ,
that no sales of Locked-Up Shares shall be made by Sponsor pursuant to such Trading Plan during the applicable Lock-Up Period and
no public announcement or filing is voluntarily made regarding such plan during the applicable Lock-Up Period;
(vi) Transfers
made in connection with a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s
shareholders having the right to exchange their Company Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the Closing
Date; and
(vii) transactions
to satisfy any U.S. federal, state, or local income tax obligations of Sponsor (or its direct or indirect owners) arising from a change
in the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”), a change in or promulgation of new U.S. Treasury
Regulations, or promulgation of any judicial or administrative guidance, in each case, after the date on which the Business Combination
Agreement was executed by the parties, and such change or promulgation prevents the Mergers from qualifying as a “reorganization”
pursuant to Section 368 of the Code, in each case, solely to the extent necessary to cover any tax liability as a result of the
transaction;
provided, however ,
that in the case of clauses (i) through (iii), these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement, in substantially
the form of this Agreement, agreeing to be bound by the Lock-Up Restrictions and shall have the same rights and benefits under this Agreement.
For purposes of this paragraph, “immediate family” shall mean a spouse, domestic partner, child, grandchild or other lineal
descendant (including by adoption), father, mother, brother or sister of an individual; and “affiliate” shall have the meaning
set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
(c) For
the avoidance of doubt, Sponsor shall retain all of its rights as a shareholder of the Company during the Lock-Up Period, including the
right to vote any Locked-Up Shares or receive any dividends or distributions thereon.
(d) In
furtherance of the foregoing, the Company, and any duly appointed transfer agent for the registration or transfer of the Locked-Up Shares,
are hereby authorized to decline to make any Transfer of securities if such Transfer would constitute a violation or breach of the Lock-Up
Restrictions.
8
Section 4.13. No
Inconsistent Agreement. The Sponsor hereby represents and covenants that the Sponsor has not entered into, and shall not enter into,
any agreement that would restrict, limit or interfere with the performance of the Sponsor’s obligations hereunder.

under the CUSIP(s) and/or ISIN(s) applicable to the unrestricted Company Class A Ordinary Shares or so that the Free Shares

in this Section 6.7 .

would occur in the event that the parties do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing
to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise
breach such provisions. The parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance,

to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, and (ii) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, none of the parties would have entered into this Agreement.
Each party agrees that it will not allege, and each party hereby waives the defense, that the other parties have an adequate remedy at
law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. The parties acknowledge and
agree that any party seeking an injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions
of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 6.8 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection
with any such injunction.

shall constitute an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by email to counsel
for the other parties of a counterpart executed by a party shall be deemed to meet the requirements of the previous sentence.

REGISTRATIONS AND OFFERINGS
Section 2.01. Shelf
Registration.
(a) Filing .
The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file, within forty-five (45) calendar days following the Closing Date (the
“ Filing Deadline ”), a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form F-1 or Form S-1, as applicable
(the “ Form F-1 Shelf ”) or, if the Company is eligible to use a Registration Statement on Form F-3 or Form S-3,
a Shelf Registration on Form F-3 or Form S-3, as applicable (the “ Form F-3 Shelf ”), in each case, covering
the resale of all the Registrable Securities (determined as of two (2) Business Days prior to such filing) on a delayed or continuous
basis and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such Shelf declared effective no later than the ninetieth (90 th )
calendar day (or one hundred and twentieth (120 th ) calendar day if the Commission notifies the Company that it will “review”
the Registration Statement) following the Filing Deadline; provided, however, that the Company’s obligations to include the Registrable
Securities held by a Holder in the Shelf are contingent upon such Holder furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding
the Holder, the securities of the Company held by the Holder and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities as shall
be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities, and the Holder shall execute such documents
in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling shareholder in similar situations.
Such Shelf shall provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to any method or combination of methods
legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. The Company shall maintain a Shelf in accordance with the terms hereof,
and shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep
a Shelf continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there
are no longer any Registrable Securities. In the event the Company files a Form F-1 Shelf, the Company shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to convert the Form F-1 Shelf (and any Subsequent Shelf Registration) to a Form F-3 Shelf as soon as practicable
after the Company is eligible to use Form F-3.
6
(b) Subsequent
Shelf Registration . If any Shelf ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while Registrable Securities
are still outstanding, the Company shall, subject to Section 3.04, use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably
practicable cause such Shelf to again become effective under the Securities Act (including obtaining the prompt withdrawal of any order
suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf), and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable
amend such Shelf in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf or
file an additional registration statement as a Shelf Registration (a “ Subsequent Shelf Registration ”) registering the
resale of all Registrable Securities (determined as of two (2) Business Days prior to such filing), and pursuant to any method or
combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. If a Subsequent Shelf Registration is filed,
the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration to become effective under
the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the filing thereof (it being agreed that the Subsequent Shelf Registration
shall be an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) if the Company is
a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) at the most recent applicable eligibility
determination date), and (ii) keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration continuously effective, available for use and in compliance
with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. Any such Subsequent Shelf
Registration shall be on Form F-3 or Form S-3, as applicable, to the extent that the Company is eligible to use such form. Otherwise,
such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on another appropriate form.
(c) Requests
for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns . Subject to the Lock-Up Agreements and to the provisions of this Section 2.01(c), 2.01(d) and
3.04, at any time and from time to time when an effective Shelf is on file with the Commission, any Holder (being, in such case, a “ Demanding
Holder ”) may, subject to the maximum number of Underwritten Shelf Takedowns pursuant to this Section 2.01(c), request to
sell all or any portion of its Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering that is registered pursuant to the Shelf (each, an “ Underwritten
Shelf Takedown ”); provided, that the Company shall only be obligated to effect an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if such offering
shall include Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by all Holders selling any Registrable Securities in such offering with a total
offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $50 million (the “ Minimum Takedown Threshold ”); and
under no circumstances shall the Company be obligated to effect more than an aggregate of two Underwritten Shelf Takedowns in any calendar
year. All requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be made by giving written notice to the Company at least ten (10) business
days prior to the public announcement of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, which shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities
proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown (such written notice, a “ Takedown Demand ”). The Demanding Holder
shall have the right to select the Underwriters for such offering (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized
investment banks), subject to the Company’s prior approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The
Company shall not be required to include any Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown unless such Holder
accepts the terms of the underwriting as agreed between the Company and its Underwriter(s) and enters into and complies with an
underwriting agreement with such Underwriter(s) in customary form (after having considered in good faith the comments from a single
U.S. counsel for the Holders which are selling in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
the Company may effect any Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to any then effective Registration Statement, including a Form F-3,
that is then available for such offering.
7
(d) Reduction
of Underwritten Offering . If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, in good faith, advises the
Company, the Demanding Holder and the Holders requesting piggy back rights pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Underwritten
Shelf Takedown (the “ Requesting Holders ”) (if any) in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities
that the Demanding Holder and the Requesting Holders (if any) desire to sell, taken together with all other Company Class A Ordinary
Shares or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell and all other Company Class A Ordinary Shares or other equity
securities, if any, that have been requested to be sold in such Underwritten Offering pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back
registration rights held by any other shareholders, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can
be sold in the Underwritten Offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or
the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “ Maximum
Number of Securities ”), then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Offering, before including any Company Class A
Ordinary Shares or other equity securities proposed to be sold by the Company or by other holders of any Company Class A Ordinary
Shares or other equity securities, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holder and the Requesting Holders (if any) (pro rata based
on the respective number of Registrable Securities that such Demanding Holder and Requesting Holder (if any) has requested be included
in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holder and Requesting Holders
(if any) have requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.
(e) Withdrawal .
Prior to the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing such Underwritten
Shelf Takedown, if the majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders disapprove of the terms of any underwriting or are not entitled to
include all of their Registrable Securities in the relevant offering, such majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders shall have the
right to withdraw from such Underwritten Shelf Takedown upon written notification to the Company, each other Demanding Holder and Requesting
Holder, and the applicable Underwriter(s). Following the receipt of any notice of withdrawal pursuant to this Section 2.01(e),
the other Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders, provided they collectively qualify as Demanding Holders pursuant to Section 2.01(c) and
the Minimum Takedown Threshold would still be satisfied, may elect to continue with the Underwritten Offering and such continued Takedown
Demand shall count as a Takedown Demand of the continuing Demanding Holders for purposes of Section 2.01(c) and not of the withdrawing
Demanding Holders. If an Underwritten Shelf Takedown is withdrawn and not continued pursuant to Section 2.01(e), the withdrawn
Takedown Demand shall not count as an Underwritten Takedown for purposes of Section 2.01(c) if and only if one or more of the
Demanding Holders reimburse the Company for all Registration Expenses with respect to such Underwritten Shelf Takedown. For the avoidance
of doubt, the withdrawn Takedown Demand shall count as an Underwritten Takedown if the Company is responsible for the Registration Expenses
with respect to such Underwritten Shelf Takedown.
8
(f) New
Registration Statement . Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in this Section 2.01, in the event the Commission
informs the Company that the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale
as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, the Company agrees to promptly (i) inform each of the Holders thereof
and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Shelf Registration as required by the Commission and/or (ii) withdraw
the Shelf Registration and file a new registration statement (a “ New Registration Statement ”), on Form F-3 or
if Form F-3 is not then available to the Company for such registration statement, on such other form available to register for resale
of the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment or New Registration Statement,
the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable
Securities in accordance with any publicly-available written or oral guidance, comments, requirements or requests of the Commission staff
(“ SEC Guidance ”), including without limitation, Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 612.09. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, if any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be
registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company advocated with the Commission
for the registration of all or a greater number of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a Holder as to its
Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced on a pro
rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders, subject to a determination by the Commission that
certain Holders must be reduced first based on the number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders. In the event the Company amends
the Shelf Registration or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be, under clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Company
will file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities
in general, one or more registration statements on Form F-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable
Securities that were not registered for resale on the Shelf Registration, as amended, or the New Registration Statement.
(g) Effective
Registration . Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.01(c) above or any other part of this Agreement, a Registration
shall not count as a Registration unless and until (i) the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission,
and (ii) the Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided, however, that,
if after such Registration Statement has been declared effective, an offering of Registrable Securities is subsequently interfered with
by any stop order or injunction of the Commission, federal or state court or any other governmental agency, the Registration Statement
with respect to such Registration shall be deemed not to have been declared effective, unless and until, (x) such stop order or injunction
is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated, and (y) a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating such Registration
thereafter affirmatively elect to continue with such Registration and accordingly notify the Company in writing, but in no event later
than five (5) days, of such election; provided, further, that the Company shall not be obligated or required to file another Registration
Statement until the Registration Statement that has been previously filed with respect to a Registration pursuant to a Shelf Registration
becomes effective or is subsequently terminated.
9

Registration.
(a) Piggyback

filing date of such Registration Statement or, in the case of an Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Shelf Registration, the applicable
“red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing such offering, which notice shall (A) describe the
amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed
managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, in such offering, and (B) offer to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities the

or registered offering (A) first, the Company Class A Ordinary Shares or other equity securities that the Company desires to
sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of
Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register
their Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.02(a), pro rata , based on the respective number of Registrable Securities
that each Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Offering and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Holders
have requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and
(C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B),

has requested be included in such Underwritten Offering and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Holders have requested

the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the Company Class A

Securities; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses

that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons or entities, which can
be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and
(iii) if
the Registration or registered offering is pursuant to a request by Holder(s) of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.01
hereof, then the Company shall include in any such Registration or registered offering securities in the priority set forth in Section 2.01(d).
(c) Piggyback
Registration Withdrawal . Any Holder of Registrable Securities (other than the Demanding Holder, whose right to withdrawal from an
Underwritten Shelf Takedown, and related obligations, shall be governed by Section 2.01(e)) shall have the right to withdraw from

of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (other than Section 2.01(e)), the Company

to confidentiality arrangements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, prior to the release or disclosure of any
such information;
(k) obtain
a “comfort” letter from the Company’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an Underwritten Offering,

Section 3.02. Registration
Expenses . All Registration Expenses shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders selling any
Registrable Securities in an offering shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such
as Underwriters’ or agents’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set
forth in the definition of “Registration Expenses,” all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the
Holders, in each case pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities that such Holders have sold in such Registration.
Section 3.03. Requirements
for Participation in Underwritten Offerings . Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Holder does not provide
the Company with its requested Holder Information, the Company may exclude such Holder’s Registrable Securities from the applicable
Registration Statement or Prospectus if the Company determines, based on the advice of counsel, that such information is necessary to
effect the registration and such Holder continues thereafter to withhold such information. No person may participate in any Underwritten
Offering or Other Coordinated Offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder
unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved
by the Company and (ii) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements,
underwriting or other agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such arrangements. The
exclusion of a Holder’s Registrable Securities as a result of this Section 3.03 shall not affect the registration of the other
Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration.
15
Section 3.04. Suspension
of Sales; Adverse Disclosure; Restrictions on Registration Rights.
(a) Upon
receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders shall
forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting
the Misstatement (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable
after the time of such notice), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed.
(b) If
the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would (i) require
the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, (ii) require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that
are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, or (iii) in the good faith judgment of the majority
of the Board, be materially detrimental to the Company and the majority of the Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer
such filing, initial effectiveness or continued use at such time, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to
the Holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time
determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose (any such period, a “ Blackout Period ”). In
the event the Company exercises its rights under this Section 3.04(b), the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt
of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell
Registrable Securities. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders of the expiration of the Blackout Period during which it exercised
its rights under this Section 3.04(b).
(c) (i) During
the period starting with the date 60 days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on
a date 120 days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated Registration and provided that the Company continues to actively employ,
in good faith, all reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the applicable Shelf, or (ii) if, pursuant to Section 2.01(c),
Holders have requested an Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the Company and such Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters
to firmly underwrite such offering, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay any other
registered offering pursuant to Section ‎ 2.01(c) or ‎ Section 2.04.
(d) The
right to delay or suspend any filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 3.04(b) or
a registered offering pursuant to Section 3.04(c) shall be exercised by the Company, in the aggregate, for not more than 90
consecutive calendar days and not more than twice during any 12-month period.
Section 3.05. Reporting
Obligations . As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting company
under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period)
all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act
and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings; provided that any documents publicly filed
or furnished with the Commission pursuant to the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System shall be deemed to have been
furnished or delivered to the Holders pursuant to this Section 3.05. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further
action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell the Company Class A
Ordinary Shares held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by
Rule 144. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer
as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

Article 4
INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION
Section 4.01. Indemnification.
(a) The
Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers, directors and agents
and each person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
out-of-pocket expenses (including without limitation reasonable outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue
statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement
thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Company
by such Holder expressly for use therein , or if such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or out-of-pocket expenses are based on any
such Holder’s violation of the federal securities laws or failure to sell the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended
plan of distribution contained in the Prospectus.
(b) In
connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish to
the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration
Statement or Prospectus (the “ Holder Information ”) and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company,
its directors, officers and agents and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses (including without limitation reasonable outside attorneys’ fees) resulting
from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus
or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in
any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein, or if such losses, judgments, claims, damages,
liabilities or out-of-pocket expenses are based on any such Holder’s violation of the federal securities laws or failure to sell
the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended plan of distribution contained in the Prospectus; provided , however,
that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability
of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the
sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters,
their officers, directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent
as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company.
(c) Any
person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect
to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification
hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s
reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit
such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense
is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its
consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume
the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such
indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist
between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without
the prior written consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be
settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement)
or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party
of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
17
(d) The
indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on
behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer
of securities.
(e) If
the indemnification provided under Section 4.01 hereof from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless
an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying
party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result
of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault
of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the
indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including
any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates
to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided , however, that the
liability of any Holder under this Section 4.01(e) shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder
in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred
to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 4.01(a) ‎ ,
‎ 4.01(b) and ‎ 4.01(c) above,
any legal or other fees, charges or out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding.
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.01(e) were determined
by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred
to in this Section 4.01(e). No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 4.01(e) from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation.

of any provision of this Agreement.

constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by electronic means,

Section 5.07. Jurisdiction .
Subject to ‎‎ Section 5.08, any Action based

Section 5.08. Remedies .
The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would
occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with
its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (a) such parties shall be
entitled to an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically
the terms and provisions hereof and thereof, without proof of damages and without posting a bond, prior to the valid termination of this
Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, and (b) the right of specific
enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and without that right, none of the parties hereto would have
entered into this Agreement. Each party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief
on the basis that the other parties hereto have an adequate remedy at law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate

be amended or modified; provided, however, that in the event any such waiver, amendment or modification would be disproportionate and
adverse in any material respect to the material rights or obligations hereunder of a Holder, the written consent of such Holder will also
be required. No course of dealing between any Holder or the Company and any other party hereto or any failure or delay on the part of
a Holder or the Company in exercising any rights or remedies under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any rights or remedies

ProLogium,
a Next Generation Solid-State Battery Developer with 10+ Years of Proven
Commercialization, to List on the Nasdaq through a Merger with
Translational Development
Acquisition Corp.
| · | ProLogium reached commercial-scale manufacturing for solid-state
batteries in 2013, later delivered the world’s first solid-state battery demo car with ENOVATE
Motor in 2019. |
| · | ProLogium has shipped a total of over 2.4 million battery cells to customers
since 2013, of which more than 800,000 are its 3 rd -generation batteries from the Gigafactory in Taiwan. |
| · | With a portfolio of 1,100+ patents, ProLogium has introduced
its 4th-generation superfluidized
inorganic solid-state battery solution with zero thermal runaway, high energy density, low temperature performance, fast charging, competitive
cost, and commercial readiness. |
| · | Pre-money valuation of ProLogium is expected to be approximately $3.8
billion. |
| · | The transaction is expected to fund the scaling of the production of the
company’s 4th-generation batteries and the construction of ProLogium's new gigafactory in Dunkirk, France—an effort
supported by an approved subsidy package of up to ~€1.4 billion from the Government of the French Republic. |
| · | ProLogium is quickly moving into growth markets, including AI data centers,
aerospace, robotics, and defense, while continuing to strengthen its position in EVs. |
TAIPEI,
Taiwan & NEW YORK – May 2 7, 2026 – ProLogium Holding Inc. (“ProLogium” or the
“Company”), a global leader in the innovation and manufacturing of next-generation solid-state batteries, and Translational
Development Acquisition Corp. ("TDAC") (Nasdaq: TDAC), a special purpose acquisition company, today announced they have entered
into a definitive agreement for a business combination that would result in ProLogium becoming a publicly listed company (the “Transaction”).
Upon
closing of the Transaction, the combined company will be named ProLogium Technology and is expected to be listed on the Nasdaq under the
ticker symbol “PRLG” .
For more than two decades,
ProLogium has focused on a singular mission: moving solid-state battery technology from the lab to mass production. ProLogium’s
proprietary lithium ceramic battery (LCB) platform is designed to deliver significant improvements in energy density, performance and
safety. The 4th-generation technology features a triple safety mechanism consisting of non-flammable electrolyte, an all-ceramic separator
and an active safety mechanism embedded in superfluidized all inorganic solid-state electrolyte -- marking the first battery with zero
thermal runaway risk.
Vincent
Yang, Founder and CEO of ProLogium , commented, "Today marks a pivotal moment in ProLogium’s journey in accelerating
the commercialization of our industry-leading solid-state batteries. This Transaction is expected to provide us with the capital to fund
our next phase of growth -- enabling us to scale the production of our 4th-generation superfluidized inorganic solid-state batteries,
advance the construction of our new gigafactory in Dunkirk, France, and support our expansion into adjacent application verticals including
data centers, aerospace and robotics while continuing to progress in EVs.”
“We are excited to partner
with TDAC’s best-in-class team, who shares our vision of a new energy revolution that is built with next generation solid-state
batteries. Today’s Transaction is a critical step in putting our batteries in the hands of more customers, powering cutting-edge
technologies and enabling a more sustainable future for all."
Michael
B. Hoffman, Chairman and CEO of TDAC, added, “We could not be more excited to partner with Vincent and his team
on bringing ProLogium to the public capital markets. We believe that ProLogium is the future of distributed, mission critical energy based
on their technological foundation and the capabilities to supply next generation batteries at gigawatt scale. The TDAC team has been involved
in the future of energy for decades, including the building of companies such as Talen Energy and Pattern Energy; we see the need for
high performance distributed energy capabilities across a host of markets that are only now accessible due to the breakthrough of ProLogium's
Gen4 technology and manufacturing capabilities. ProLogium's partnerships with some of the most impressive companies on the planet to deliver
new use cases for high performance batteries demonstrate its technology leadership and we believe the company's position as a leader in
the energy future is bright.”
ProLogium’s technology
leadership is built on a foundation of proprietary IP, with over 1,100 global battery patents and patent applications, and a proven
track record of commercialization. The Company is currently advancing commercial applications with strategic partners in off-highway applications
such as construction vehicles, and in energy applications and smart mobility markets.
Independent third-party testing further validates the
differentiation of the Company’s technology: TÜV Rheinland recently confirmed a record 360 Wh/kg energy density for ProLogium’s
latest battery – more than 50% above conventional batteries; and UL Solutions ARC testing verified that ProLogium’s ultra-safe
all-inorganic superfluidized all inorganic solid-state battery undergoes no thermal runaway under the Heat-Wait-Seek (HWS) method, marking
an industry breakthrough.
The transaction values Prologium
at approximately $3.8B on a pre-money, net cash-free basis. ProLogium will seek funding by a combination of TDAC’s cash in trust
and proceeds from a targeted common equity PIPE.
The boards of directors of
both ProLogium and TDAC have approved the Transaction, which is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to approval by the
shareholders of both ProLogium and TDAC, regulatory approvals, and other customary closing conditions.
Additional
information about the Transaction, including a copy of the business combination agreement and investor presentation, will be provided
in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by TDAC with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and available
at www.sec.gov .

About ProLogium
Founded in 2006, ProLogium is an energy innovation
company dedicated to the development and manufacturing of next-generation lithium ceramic batteries, holding over 1,100 global patents
(granted and pending). In 2013, ProLogium introduced the world’s first next-generation battery architecture featuring a 100% ceramic
separator, becoming the first company globally to successfully commercialize solid-state batteries. In 2025, ProLogium again led the industry
by introducing the world’s first superfluidized all-inorganic solid-state lithium ceramic battery, integrating the advantages of
solid-state and liquid type batteries and redefining next-generation battery technology with automation-ready, scalable mass production
and cost competitiveness. In 2026, ProLogium once again received the Edison Awards Gold Award for its superfluidized all-inorganic solid-state
lithium ceramic battery technology.
With more than 13 years of manufacturing know-how,
ProLogium is also the only company globally that can publicly demonstrate a solid-state battery mass-production line—proving that
solid-state batteries are not merely a laboratory technology, but a mature solution ready for scalable manufacturing. In 2024, ProLogium
inaugurated its first GWh-class gigafactory in Taoyuan, Taiwan, and has shipped more than 800,000 cells to date. In May 2024, ProLogium
established its first overseas R&D center in Paris-Saclay, France, providing customized technical support for the European market.
The Company’s first overseas GWh-class facility in Dunkirk, France, completed its environmental assessment and building permit process
by the end of 2024, with construction expected to begin in 2026. Ramp-up is expected to begin between Q4 2028 and Q1 2029, followed by
formal mass production and deliveries in Q2 2029.

to ProLogium’s securities to be issued in connection with the Transaction and a proxy statement with respect to the shareholder
meeting of TDAC to vote on the Transaction. This communication does not contain all the information that should be considered concerning
the Transaction and is not intended to form the basis of any investment decision or any other decision in respect of the Transaction.
Before making any voting or investment decision, shareholders of TDAC, investors and other interested persons are advised to read CAREFULLY
IN their ENTIRETY, when available, the preliminary proxy statement / prospectus (including any amendments thereto), as well as other documents
to be filed with the SEC, because these documents will contain important information about ProLogium, TDAC and the Transaction. After
the registration statement is declared effective, the definitive proxy statement / prospectus to be included in the registration
statement will be mailed to shareholders of TDAC as of a record date to be established for voting on the Transaction. The preliminary
and definitive proxy statement / prospectus to be included in the registration statement, once available, can also be obtained, without

Forward-Looking Statements
This
communication contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
or the Securities Act, and section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, that are based on
beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to ProLogium and TDAC. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking
statements by the following words: “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,”
“expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,”
“predict,” “project,” “potential,” “continue,” “ongoing,” “target,”
“seek” or the negative or plural of these words, or other similar expressions that are predictions or indicate future events

of the Transaction, any benefits of ProLogium’s partnerships, strategies or plans as they relate to the Transaction, anticipated
benefits of the Transaction and expectations related to the terms and timing of the Transaction are also forward-looking statements. These
statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements
to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These statements are based on ProLogium
and TDAC’s reasonable expectations and beliefs concerning future events and involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual
results to differ materially from current expectations. These factors are difficult to predict accurately and may be beyond ProLogium
and TDAC’s control. Forward-looking statements in this communication or elsewhere speak only as of the date made. New uncertainties
and risks arise from time to time, and it is impossible for ProLogium or TDAC to predict these events or how they may affect ProLogium
or TDAC. In addition, there will be risks and uncertainties described in the proxy statement / prospectus relating to the Transaction,
which is expected to be filed by ProLogium with the SEC and other documents filed by ProLogium or TDAC 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 ProLogium nor TDAC can assure you that the forward-looking statements
in this communication will prove to be accurate. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties,
including, but not limited to: the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could delay, impede or prevent the business
combination or give rise to the termination of the business combination; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against
ProLogium or TDAC, the combined company or others following the announcement of the business combination; the inability to complete the
business combination due to the failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of ProLogium and TDAC or of the parties to satisfy other
conditions to closing; the amount of redemption requests may by TDAC’s public shareholders; the ability to maintain the stock exchange
listing standards following the consummation of the business combination; the risk that the business combination disrupts current plans
and operations of ProLogium or TDAC as a result of the announcement and consummation of the business combination; the ability to recognize
the anticipated benefits of the business combination; costs related to the business combination; changes in applicable laws or regulations;
international trade disputes, including threatened or implemented tariffs by the U.S. and threatened or implemented tariffs by foreign
countries in retaliation; the ability of ProLogium to execute its business model, including market acceptance of its planned products
and services; the combined company’s ability to raise capital; future financial performance of the combined company follow the business
combination; the possibility that TDAC or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive
factors; risks associated with ProLogium’s efforts to commercialize its products; ProLogium’s ability to maintain its existing
agreements with third parties and to negotiate and enter into new definitive agreements on favorable terms, if at all; the impact of competing
products on ProLogium’s business; intellectual property-related claims against ProLogium or the combined company; ProLogium’s
dependence upon its key personnel and ability to attract and retain such personnel and additional qualified personnel; ProLogium’s
ability to source the raw materials for its products; and other risks and uncertainties set forth in the section entitled “Risk
Factors” in the registration statement on Form F-4 to be filed by ProLogium with the SEC and those included under the heading
“Risk Factors” in the final prospectus for TDAC’s initial public offering, filed pursuant to Rule 424b(4) on
December 23, 2024, and its annual report on Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2025 and in its subsequent quarterly
reports on Form 10-Q and other filings with the SEC. There may be additional risks that neither ProLogium nor TDAC presently knows
or that ProLogium and TDAC 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, you should not regard these
statements as a representation or warranty by ProLogium, TDAC, their respective directors, officers or employees or any other person that
ProLogium and TDAC will achieve their objectives and plans in any specified time frame, or at all. The forward-looking statements in this
communication represent the views of ProLogium and TDAC as of the date of this communication. Subsequent events and developments may cause
those views to change. Except as required by applicable law, neither ProLogium nor TDAC has any duty to, and does not intend to, update
or revise the forward-looking statements in this communication or elsewhere after the date of this communication. You should, therefore,
not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing the views of ProLogium or TDAC as of any date subsequent to the date of this
communication.
