Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL allows a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that an officer
or director of the corporation will not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except for liability for, (i) with respect to officers and
directors, any breach of the officer's or director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) with
respect to officers and directors, acts or omission not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (iii) with respect to directors, payments of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock
repurchases or redemptions under Section 174 of the DGCL, (iv) with respect to officers and directors, any
transaction from which the officer or director derived an improper personal benefit, or (v) with respect to officers,
any action by or in the right of the corporation. Our certificate of incorporation will provide for this limitation of
liability.
Section 145 of the DGCL ("Section 145") provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who
was, is or is threatened to be made party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason
of the fact that such person is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation or is or was serving
at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The
indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided that
such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
corporation's best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe that his or her conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who were or are a
party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation by reason of the fact
that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity
may include expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with
the defense or settlement of such action or suit, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation's best interests, provided that no indemnification is
permitted without judicial approval if the officer, director, employee or agent is adjudged to be liable to the
corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action
II-2
Table of Contents
referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him or her against the expenses which such officer or director has
actually and reasonably incurred.
Section 145 further authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is
or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against any liability asserted against
him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not
the corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify him or her under Section 145.
Our bylaws will provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by the
DGCL and must also pay expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition
upon delivery of an undertaking by or on behalf of an indemnified person to repay all amounts so advanced if it
should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under this section or otherwise.
Upon completion of this offering, we intend to enter into indemnification agreements with each of our executive
officers and directors. The indemnification agreements will provide the executive officers and directors with
contractual rights to indemnification, expense advancement and reimbursement, to the fullest extent permitted under
the DGCL.
The indemnification rights set forth above shall not be exclusive of any other right which an indemnified person
may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws, agreement,
vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
We will maintain standard policies of insurance that provide coverage (1) to our directors and officers against
loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act and (2) to us with respect to
indemnification payments that we may make to such directors and officers. The proposed form of underwriting
agreement to be filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Registration Statement provides for indemnification of our directors and
officers by the underwriters party thereto against certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act or otherwise.
Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
Set forth below is information regarding securities sold by us within the past three years that were not registered
under the Securities Act. Also included is the consideration, if any, received by us for such securities and
information relating to the section of the Securities Act, or rule of the SEC, under which exemption from registration
was claimed.
Since January 1, 2023, we have made sales of the following unregistered securities:
On June 15, 2026, Accelevation Holdings Corp. issued 1,000 shares of its common stock to Olympus Growth
Fund VIII Parallel L.P. for $10.00. The issuance of such shares of common stock was not registered under the
Securities Act because the shares were offered and sold in a transaction exempt from registration under

Item 17. Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriter at the closing specified in the
underwriting agreement certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the
underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers
and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions referenced in Item 14 of this Registration
Statement, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered hereunder,
the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to
a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1)For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form
of prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in the
form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities
Act shall be deemed to be part of this Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective; and
(2)For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that
contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
offering thereof.
