purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, formed for the purpose of entering into a
merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase reorganization

GigCapital5's efforts to identify a target business may span many industries,
the focus of GigCapital5's search is for prospects within the technology, media

Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, Merger Sub will
merge with and into QT Imaging (the "Merger"), with QT Imaging as the surviving
company in the Merger (the "Surviving Corporation"), and after giving effect to
the Merger, the Surviving Corporation will be a wholly owned subsidiary of
