* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) In connection with the closing (the "Closing") of the business combination (the "Business Combination") between the Issuer (which was formerly known as Inflection Point Acquisition Corp. IV or "Inflection Point") and Merlin Labs, Inc., immediately prior to the domestication of the Issuer as Delaware corporation, among other things, each of Inflection Point's Class B ordinary shares converted into one Class A ordinary share of Inflection Point as described under the heading "Description of Securities" in Inflection Point's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-280777). Immediately after such conversion, each Class A ordinary share of Inflection Point converted into one share of the Issuer's common stock (the "Common Stock") on a one-for-one basis.
(2) Bleichroeder Sponsor 1 LLC (the "Sponsor") is the record holder of such securities. MC Advisory L.L.C-FZ, an entity formed in Dubai (of which Michel Combes, one of the Issuer's Co-Founders, is the manager), as well as Andrew Gundlach, the former Executive Chairman of the Issuer, are the managing members of the Sponsor and hold voting and investment discretion with respect to the shares held of record by the Sponsor. As such, each of Mr. Combes and Mr. Gundlach may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the securities held of record by the Sponsor. Each of Mr. Combes and Mr. Gundlach disclaims any beneficial ownership of the securities held of record by the Sponsor other than to the extent of any pecuniary interest they may have therein, directly or indirectly.
(3) In connection with the Closing of the Business Combination, the 425,000 rights held by the Sponsor, each entitling the holder to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share upon the closing of the Issuer's initial business combination, converted into 42,500 shares of Common Stock as described under the heading "Description of Securities" in Inflection Point's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-280777).

Remarks:
Prior to Closing, the Sponsor may be deemed a director by deputization by virtue of its representation on the board of directors of the Issuer. Andrew Gundlach was Executive Chairman of the board of directors of the Issuer prior to Closing.
Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.
