NWTN (East Stone Acquisition) ^{Priced, Nasdaq: NWTN}

We are a blank check company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Although we are not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating an initial business combination, we intend to focus on businesses primarily operating in the financial services industry or businesses providing technological services to the financial industry, commonly known as “fintech businesses” in the region of North America and Asia-Pacific. We believe the financial services industry has experienced significant amount of change over the last several years as new companies providing technology, software, and digital platforms have entered the market. Fintech companies exist across many industries within financial services, including banking technology, digital payment, financial transaction and processing, capital markets, wealth management, insurance, and financial management systems. We believe that fintech companies have proven to be successful with multiple business models and strategic objectives. The objective of fintech companies can range from improving the efficiency of traditional financial services companies, to introducing new products and creating new markets, to those focused on disrupting traditional financial services companies with competitive products.
