Explanation of Responses:

1. As described in the Issuer's Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-289701), under the heading "Description of Securities - Founder Shares," Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares on or prior to the tenth anniversary of the Issuer's initial business combination, upon the earlier of (A) the Issuer meeting certain share price performance thresholds following the completion of its initial business combination, and (B) subsequent to the completion of its initial business combination, the date on which a change of control occurs, in each case, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as provided therein. Includes 1,607,143 Class B ordinary shares that are subject to forfeiture if the underwriters of the Issuer's initial public offering do not exercise in full their option to purchase additional Class A ordinary shares.

Remarks:

On the basis of the relationship between the Sponsor, SC SPAC Holdings and Mr. Palihapitiya, the Sponsor and SC SPAC Holdings will be deemed directors by deputization. 2. The reporting owner, AEXA Sponsor LLC (the "Sponsor"), in whose name the securities reported herein are held, is managed by its manager, Chamath Palihapitiya. A majority of the voting interests of the Sponsor are held by SC SPAC Holdings LLC ("SC SPAC Holdings"), which is controlled by Mr. Palihapitiya. Mr. Palihapitiya and SC SPAC Holdings may be deemed to beneficially own shares held by the Sponsor by virtue of their direct or indirect interests in the Sponsor or their shared control over the Sponsor, as the case may be. Each of Mr. Palihapitiya and SC SPAC Holdings disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by the Sponsor, except to the extent of such person's pecuniary interest therein. This initial holding statement has been made for SC SPAC Holdings LLC using the Issuer's CIK codes in order to satisfy Form 3 filing requirements. An amendment will be filed for SC SPAC Holdings LLC upon receipt of his CIK filer codes from the SEC.
