EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) amends the report on Schedule 13D filed on October 4, 2021 (the “Schedule 13D”) by: (1) Kingstown Capital Management L.P. (“KCM”), (2) Kingstown Management GP LLC (“KMGP”), (3) Michael Blitzer (“Mr. Blitzer”), (4) Guy Shanon (“Mr. Shanon”), (5) Inflection Point Holdings LLC (the “Sponsor”), (6) Kingstown 1740 Fund L.P. (“Kingstown 1740”), and (7) Kingstown Capital Partners LLC (“KCP”) (each, a Reporting Person” and collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) with respect to the Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), of Inflection Point Acquisition Corp. (the “Issuer”).
Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D. Except as expressly amended and supplemented by this Amendment, the Schedule 13D is not amended or supplemented in any respect, and the disclosures set forth in the Schedule 13D, other than as amended herein are incorporated by reference herein.
| ITEM 4. | PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION |
Item 4 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
To the extent required by Item 4, the information contained in Item 3 of the Schedule 13D and Item 6 of the Schedule 13D as amended by this Amendment is incorporated herein by reference.
Founder Shares
The Sponsor acquired the Founder Shares for its own account. The number of Founder Shares outstanding was determined based on the expectation that the Founder Shares would represent 20% of the outstanding ordinary shares after the Issuer’s IPO. Up to 1,125,000 Founder Shares were subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised so that the Sponsor will maintain ownership of Founder Shares representing 20% of the Issuer’s ordinary shares after the IPO. On October 29, 2021, the Sponsor forfeited at no cost 381,250 Founder Shares, in connection with the election by the underwriters of the Issuer’s initial public offering of units to exercise only 66.1% of the option granted to them to cover over-allotments. The remaining 743,750 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.
The Class B Ordinary Shares will automatically convert into Class A Ordinary Shares concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of the Issuer’s initial business combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as described in the Issuer’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. In the case that additional Class A Ordinary Shares or equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with the Issuer’s initial business combination, the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, 20% of the total number of Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding after such conversion (after giving effect to any redemptions of Class A Ordinary Shares by public shareholders), including the total number of Class A Ordinary Shares issued, or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Issuer in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the Issuer’s initial business combination (including the Forward Purchase Shares (as defined below)), excluding any Class A Ordinary Shares or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A Ordinary Shares issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the Issuer’s initial business combination and any private placement warrants issued to the Sponsor, officers or directors upon conversion of working capital loans; provided that such conversion of Founder Shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.

IPO Units
Kingstown 1740 acquired 2,900,000 units of the Issuer for its own account. Each unit of the Issuer consists of one Class A Ordinary Share and one half of one warrant to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at $11.50 per share.

The Reporting Persons have acquired the shares reported herein for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and investment strategy, the price levels of the Issuer’s ordinary shares, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons and their representatives may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate, including, without limitation, engaging in communications with members of the Issuer’s board of directors, members of the Issuer’s management and/or other shareholders of the Issuer from time to time with respect to potential business combination opportunities and operational, strategic, financial or governance matters, or otherwise work with management and the Issuer’s board of directors to identify, evaluate, structure, negotiate, execute or otherwise facilitate a business combination and facilitate efforts to raise additional capital in connection with a business combination, purchasing additional shares and/or warrants, selling some or all of their ordinary shares and/or warrants, engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to the ordinary shares, including swaps and other derivative instruments, or changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4 of the form of Schedule 13D. Among other things, the Reporting Persons may introduce the Issuer to potential candidates for a business combination, or propose one or more business combinations with potential candidates, which may include candidates that are affiliates of one or more Reporting Persons or in which one or more Reporting Persons otherwise has an equity or other interest.
In addition, as directors and Co-Chief Executive Officers of the Issuer, Mr. Blitzer and Mr. Shanon will be involved in negotiations in connection with any prospective business combination of the Issuer, the decisions of the board of directors related to any such business combination, and any matters to be presented to the Issuer’s shareholders in connection therewith. Mr. Blitzer and Mr. Shanon are expected to be involved in reviewing possible transactions involving the Issuer and identifying candidates to serve on the board of directors. As such, through this affiliation with management at the Issuer, KCM, KMGP, the Sponsor and Kingstown 1740 may be involved in transactions of the sort described in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the form of Schedule 13D.
The Reporting Persons may purchase ordinary shares of the Issuer and/or warrants in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to, in connection with or following the completion of the Issuer’s initial business combination. The purpose of any such purchases of shares could be to vote such shares in favor of the business combination and thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining shareholder approval of the business combination or to satisfy a closing condition in an agreement with a target that requires the Issuer to have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash at the closing of the Issuer’s initial business combination, where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met. The purpose of any such purchases of warrants could be to reduce the number of warrants outstanding or to vote such warrants on any matters submitted to the warrantholders for approval in connection with the Issuer’s initial business combination. Any such purchases of the Issuer’s securities may result in the completion of the initial business combination that may not otherwise have been possible.

Purchase of Private Placement Warrants for Overallotment
In connection with the partial exercise by the underwriters of the Issuer’s initial public offering of units of their option to purchase additional units, the Sponsor purchased an additional 595,000 warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant in a private placement concurrently with the IPO (the “Overallotment Private Placement Warrants”) pursuant to the Private Placement Warrants Agreement. Each Overallotment Private Placement Warrant entitles the Sponsor to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at $11.50 per share. The Overallotment Private Placement Warrants may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold until 30 days after the completion of the Issuer’s business combination. If the Issuer does not complete a business combination, then the proceeds will be part of the liquidating distribution to the public shareholders and the warrants issued to the Sponsor will expire worthless.
