<p align="left">ATLANTA, March  12, 2024  (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Altitude Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: ALTUU, ALTU, ALTUW) (the “Company”), today announced that it will redeem all of its outstanding shares of Class A common stock initially issued as part of the units sold in its initial public offering (the “Public Shares”), effective as of March 12, 2024, because the Company will not consummate an initial business combination within the time period required by its amended and restated certificate of incorporation. The Company further announced that it will not proceed with the previously-announced hearing before a hearings panel of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) with respect to Nasdaq IM-5101-2, which requires that a special purpose acquisition company complete one or more business combinations within 36 months of the effectiveness of its initial public offering registration statement. Accordingly, the Company’s securities will be delisted from Nasdaq.<br></p>  <p>In connection with the liquidation of the trust account, as of the close of business on March 12, 2024, the Public Shares will be deemed cancelled and will represent only the right to receive the estimated per-share redemption price of approximately $10.1577 (after taking into account the removal of a portion of the accrued interest in the trust account to pay taxes and $100,000 for dissolution expenses).</p>  <p>In order to provide for the disbursement of funds from the trust account, the Company will instruct the trustee of the trust account to take all necessary actions to liquidate the trust account. The proceeds of the trust account will be held in a non-interest bearing account while awaiting disbursement to the holders of the Public Shares. Record holders may redeem their Public Shares for their pro rata portion of the proceeds of the trust account upon presentation of their respective share or unit certificates or other delivery of their Public Shares or units to Continental Stock Transfer &amp; Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent. Beneficial owners of Public Shares held in “street name” will not need to take any action in order to receive the redemption amount. The redemption of the Public Shares is expected to be completed within ten business days after March 12, 2024.</p>  <p>There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants. The Company’s sponsor, officers, and directors have waived their redemption rights with respect to the shares of common stock issued to them prior to the Company’s initial public offering.</p>  <p>The Company expects that Nasdaq will file a Form 25 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to delist its securities on or about March 12, 2024.</p>  <p><strong>Forward Looking-Statements </strong></p>  <p>This press release may include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this press release are forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, the redemption of the Public Shares, the per-share redemption price, and the delisting of the Company’s securities from Nasdaq. When used in this press release, words such as “will,” “expect,” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management team, identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond the control of the Company, including those set forth in the Risk Factors section of the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date such statements were made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these statements for revisions or changes after the date of this release, except as required by law.</p>  <p><strong>Contact</strong><br>Cody Slach or Matthew Hausch<br>Gateway<br>ALTU@gatewayir.com<br>949-574-3860 </p>  <p></p> <img class="__GNW8366DE3E__IMG" src="https://www.globenewswire.com/newsroom/ti?nf=OTA2MjU0NSM2MTMwNjMwIzIyMDM1MTk="> <br><img src="https://ml.globenewswire.com/media/ZTJiNDQ2ODAtMzg5MC00ZDcxLTg0ZGQtNjBiZGUyYTkyYmE4LTEyMTUwNzI=/tiny/Altitude-Acquisition-Corp-.png"><p><a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/b037e897-3360-4af2-b10b-d1e2c388dfdf"><img src="https://ml.globenewswire.com/media/b037e897-3360-4af2-b10b-d1e2c388dfdf/small/altitude-png.png" border="0" width="150" height="34" alt="Primary Logo"></a></p>

These documents can be obtained free of charge from the sources indicated above.</p>  <p align="justify"><strong>Forward-Looking Statements<br></strong>Certain statements included in this press release that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “predict,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “future,” “outlook,” “project,” and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding estimates and forecasts of financial and performance metrics and projections of market opportunity, Altitude’s and Picard’s expectations with respect to future performance and anticipated financial impacts of the proposed business combination, the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the proposed business combination and the timing of the completion of the proposed business combination.

These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by an investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of Altitude and Picard. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including changes in domestic business, market, financial, political, and legal conditions; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the proposed business combination, including the risk that any regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the proposed business combination or that the approval of the stockholders of Altitude or Picard is not obtained; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed business combination; risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to Picard; risks related to the performance of Picard’s business; the development, effects and enforcement of laws and regulations; Picard’s ability to manage future growth; Picard’s ability to develop new products and solutions, bring them to market in a timely manner, and make enhancements to its platform; the effects of competition on Picard’s business; the amount of redemption requests made by Altitude’s stockholders; the ability of Altitude or Picard to obtain financing in connection with the proposed business combination or in the future; the outcome of any potential litigation, government and regulatory proceedings, investigations and inquiries; and those factors discussed in the preliminary proxy statement under the heading “Risk Factors,” and other documents Altitude has filed, or will file, with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither Altitude nor Picard presently know, or that Altitude or Picard currently believe are immaterial, that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Altitude’s and Picard’s expectations, plans, or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this press release. Altitude and Picard anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause Altitude’s and Picard’s assessments to change. However, while Altitude and Picard may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Altitude and Picard specifically disclaim any obligation to do so.
