DESCRIPTION OF NON-REDEMPTION AGREEMENTS
Non-Redemption Agreements
On September 26, 2023, GigCapital5, Inc. ( GigCapital5 ) and QT Imaging, Inc. ( QT Imaging ) entered into
separate agreements (each, a Non-Redemption Agreement , and together, the Non-Redemption Agreements ) with certain of
the public stockholders of GigCapital5 (each, individually, a Public Stockholder , and together, the Public Stockholders ) eligible to redeem their respective shares of common stock of GigCapital5
( GigCapital5 Common Stock ) at the upcoming special meeting of stockholders of GigCapital5 scheduled for September 28, 2023 (the September 2023 Meeting ). Capitalized terms used herein but not
otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Non-Redemption Agreements. Any reference herein to the Non-Redemption Agreement is to
be treated as a reference to each Public Stockholder s separate agreement and should be construed accordingly and any action taken by a Public Stockholder should be construed as an action under its own respective agreement.
As previously filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC ) in a Current Report on Form 8-K on September 21, 2023, GigCapital5, QT Imaging, and the John C. Klock, Jr. and Cynthia L. Klock Trust Dated 7/27/07, entered into a Settlement Agreement (the Settlement Agreement ),
pursuant to which, amongst other things, the parties agreed to work together to ensure that GigCapital5 will continue its listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market after the September 2023 Meeting at which the stockholders will vote on a proposed extension
of the combination period (the Extension ) for consummating an initial Business Combination. Furthermore, as disclosed by GigCapital5 in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC
on September 22, 2023, GigCapital5 and QT Imaging intended to enter agreements with certain stockholders of GigCapital5 with respect to non-redemption of shares of GigCapital5 in furtherance of the
agreement in the Settlement Agreement described in the preceding sentence. The Non-Redemption Agreements are these agreements.
One of the Public Stockholders with which GigCapital5 and QT Imaging have entered into a Non-Redemption Agreement,
Meteora Capital Partners, LP has an economic interest in the sponsor of GigCapital5, GigAcquisitions5, LLC.
Pursuant to the Non-Redemption Agreements, the Public Stockholders have agreed not to request redemption in connection with the Extension or to reverse any previously submitted redemption demand in connection with the Extension
with respect to the aggregate number of 2,042,903 shares of GigCapital5 Common Stock (the Non-Redeemed GigCapital5 Shares ), provided that no Public Stockholder is required to hold a
number of shares of GigCapital5 Common Stock representing in excess of 9.9% of the total number of shares of GigCapital5 Common Stock outstanding immediately following the September 2023 Meeting. The
Non-Redeemed GigCapital5 Shares held by the Public Stockholders will not be subject to any other transfer restrictions than those described in the Non-Redemption
Agreements. The Public Stockholders will have no obligation to hold such Non-Redeemed GigCapital5 Shares beyond the date of the September 2023 Meeting.
In consideration of the foregoing, QT Imaging has agreed to issue to the Public Stockholders (the Share Issuance ), immediately prior
to and substantially concurrently with, the closing of the proposed Business Combination (the Closing ), that number of shares of common stock of QT Imaging (the QTI Shares ) equal to the result of:
(i)(A) the number of Non-Redeemed GigCapital5 Shares of such Public Stockholder multiplied by (B) 0.15, divided by (ii) the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the BCA), such that at the Closing,
the Public Stockholder will receive that consideration provided for in the BCA that a holder of QTI Shares is entitled to receive pursuant to the BCA, including that number of shares of GigCapital5 Common Stock equal to (A) the number of Non-Redeemed GigCapital5 Shares of such Public Stockholder multiplied by (B) 0.15 (the Merger Consideration GigCapital5 Shares ). The QTI Shares will be issued directly to the Public
Stockholder in book-entry form on the books and records of QTI Imaging, and the Merger Consideration GigCapital5 Shares into which the QTI Shares convert at the Closing will be issued directly to the Public Stockholder in book-entry form on the
books and records of the Company s transfer agent in accordance with the terms of the BCA.
The Public Stockholders shall not be required to forfeit,
transfer or refrain from transferring any Merger Consideration GigCapital5 Shares. QT Imaging and GigCapital5 have agreed that any QTI Shares received by the Public Stockholders in the Share Issuance, or Merger Consideration GigCapital5 Shares into
which such QTI Shares shall convert at the Closing, will not be changed as a result of or subject to any earn-outs, forfeitures, transfers, restrictions, amendments or other arrangements agreed to by QT Imaging with respect to its other QTI Shares
or by GigCapital5 with respect to its other shares of GigCapital5 Common Stock.
In the event that QT Imaging or GigCapital5 enters one or more other
non-redemption agreements in connection with the Extension ( Other Agreements ), QT Imaging and GigCapital5 have agreed that the terms of such Other Agreements will not be materially
more favorable to such other investors than the terms of the Non-Redemption Agreements are in respect of the Public Stockholders. In the event that another third party is afforded any such more favorable terms
than the Public Stockholder, QT Imaging and GigCapital5 have agreed to promptly inform the Public Stockholders of such more favorable terms in writing, and the Public Stockholders will then have the right to elect to have such more favorable terms
included in each Public Stockholder s respective Non-Redemption Agreement.
A copy of the form of Non-Redemption Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC by GigCapital5 on the date hereof, and the foregoing description of the Non-Redemption Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.

GigAcquisitions5, LLC, which was founded by GigFounders, LLC, each a member entity of GigCapital Global, and formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization, or
similar business combination with one or more businesses.

terms of which, 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 GigCapital5, which will be renamed as QT Imaging Holdings, Inc. ( QTI Holdings ).

GigCapital5 s solicitation of proxies for the vote by GigCapital5 s stockholders with respect to the Business Combination and the other matters as described in the Registration Statement and a prospectus relating to the offer of the
securities to be issued to the stockholders of QT Imaging in connection with the Business Combination. After the Registration Statement has been filed and declared effective, GigCapital will mail a definitive BCA Proxy Statement, when available, to
