Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes 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 (the “Exchange Act”). We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated on May 13, 2021 as a Cayman Islands exempted company and incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “initial business combination”). We have not selected any specific business combination target and we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, engaged in any substantive discussions directly or indirectly, with any business combination target with respect to an initial business combination with us. While we may pursue an initial business combination target in any industry, we intend to focus our search on companies in a SSLA or companies outside a SSLA that provide goods and services to Spanish speaking markets. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of this offering and the private placement of the private placement warrants, the proceeds of the sale of our shares in connection with our initial business combination (pursuant to forward purchase agreements or backstop agreements we may enter into following the consummation of this offering or otherwise), shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, or a combination of the foregoing.

The Company’s sponsor is APx Cap Sponsor Group I, LLC (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on December 9, 2021 (the “IPO”). On December 9, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 17,250,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class A ordinary shares included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $172,500,000, including 2,250,000 Units issued pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share and one-half of one redeemable warrant. Each whole public warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment.

Concurrently with the closing of the IPO, our Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 8,950,000 private placement warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per private placement warrants. Each warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share. The proceeds from the Private Placement Warrants were added to the proceeds from the IPO held in the Trust Account (as defined below).

Following the closing of the IPO, an amount of $175,950,000 from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) located in the United States at Bank of America, N.A., and will be invested only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company.

We paid an underwriting discount at the closing of the IPO of $3.45 million. An additional fee of $6.04 million was deferred and would become payable upon our completion of an initial business combination. The deferred portion of the discount would become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event we complete our initial business combination subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. However, on September 28, 2022, the underwriters waived their right to receive the deferred fee, resulting in a gain from settlement of deferred underwriting commissions of approximately $6.04 million.

On February 27, 2023, we held an extraordinary general meeting (the “EGM”) and our shareholders approved an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and to the investment management trust agreement, to change the payment required to extend the Combination Period by two three-month periods. In connection with such vote, the holders of 10,693,417 public shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares (and did not withdraw their request for redemption) for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $111,346,281. Following

18

such redemptions, approximately $68,271,081 remained in the trust account and 6,556,583 public shares remained issued and outstanding. Such remaining amount in the trust account will be distributed either to (i) all holders of public shares upon our liquidation or (ii) holders of public shares who elect to have their shares redeemed in connection with the consummation of our initial business combination.

On February 28, 2023, we issued an unsecured promissory note (the “First Promissory Note”) in an amount of $875,000 in order to economically facilitate our ability to effect the First Extension (as defined below). The First Promissory Note is payable in full on the earlier of (a) our consummation of an initial business combination (as defined in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, as it may be amended from time to time) and (b) December 31, 2023 (the earlier of such dates, the “First Due Date”). On the First Due Date, the Company shall (i) pay to the Payee (as defined in the First Promissory Note) the outstanding principal amount of the First Promissory Note in immediately available funds (the “First Principal Balance”) and (ii) deliver to the Payee, as interest-in-kind, a number of newly issued Warrants equal to the First Principal Balance divided by (y) $1.00, rounded up to the nearest whole number of warrants. The terms of the Warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants we issued in connection with our IPO. The Payee shall be entitled to certain registration rights with respect to the Warrants and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.

On May 26, 2023, we issued a second unsecured promissory note (the “Second Promissory Note” and, together with the First Promissory Note, the “Promissory Notes”) in an amount of $750,000 in order to economically facilitate our ability to effect the Second Extension (as defined below). The Second Promissory Note is payable in full on the earlier of (a) our consummation of an initial business combination (as defined in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, as it may be amended from time to time) and (b) December 31, 2023 (the earlier of such dates, the “Second Due Date”). On the Second Due Date, the Company shall (i) pay to the Payee (as defined in the Second Promissory Note) the outstanding principal amount of the Second Promissory Note in immediately available funds (the “Second Principal Balance”) and (ii) deliver to the Payee, as interest-in-kind, a number of newly issued Warrants equal to the Second Principal Balance divided by (y) $1.00, rounded up to the nearest whole number of warrants. The terms of the Warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants we issued in connection with our IPO. The Payee shall be entitled to certain registration rights with respect to the Warrants and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.

On March 1, 2023, we deposited $750,000 into the Trust Account in order to effect the extension of the termination date, from March 9, 2023 to June 9, 2023 (the “First Extension”). On June 22, 2023, we deposited an additional $750,000 into the Trust Account for a subsequent extension of the termination date, from June 9, 2023 to September 9, 2023 (the “Second Extension”), that we may need to complete an initial business combination.

Results of Operations

Our entire activity from inception up to June 30, 2023, was related to our formation and the IPO. Since the IPO, our activity has been limited to the evaluation of business combination candidates, and we will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial business combination. We expect to generate small amounts of non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and investments. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses. We expect our expenses to increase substantially after this period.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we had a net income of $232,706, which was comprised of operating costs of $1,362,299 interest income of $2,566,535 from investments in our Trust Account offset by interest expense of $57,903 and $913,627 of unrealized gain on fair value changes of warrants. The operating expenses were primarily due to fees to professionals such as the auditors, legal counsel and consultants, and insurance expenses.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net income of $10,343,389, which was comprised of operating costs of $566,363, interest income of $259,302 from investments in our Trust Account and $10,650,450 of unrealized gain on fair value changes of warrants. The operating expenses were primarily due to fees to professionals such as the auditors, legal counsel and consultants, and insurance expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $91,852 in its operating bank account, and a working capital deficit of $3,027,714.

The Company’s liquidity needs up to June 30, 2023, had been satisfied through a payment from the Sponsor of $25,000 (Note 5) for the Founder Shares and the remaining net proceeds from our IPO, the Private Placement Warrants and proceeds from the Promissory Notes. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans, as defined below (Note 5). As of June 30, 2023, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.

Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company will not have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or one year from this filing. As such, the Company may need to obtain alternative liquidity and capital resources to meet its needs, which may not be available to the Company. Over this time period, the Company will be using any

19

available funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Account Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” The Company has until September 9, 2023 (21 months from the closing of the IPO), or by December 9, 2023 (24 months from the closing of the IPO) if we further extend the period by an additional three-month period, to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution, as well as insufficient cash flows, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Contractual Obligations

Administrative Services Agreement

Commencing on the date of the prospectus and until completion of the Company’s initial business combination or liquidation, the Company may reimburse an affiliate of the Sponsor up to an amount of $10,000 per month for office space and secretarial and administrative support provided to members of the Company’s management team. Upon completion of the initial business combination or its liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees.

Registration Rights

The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants, and securities that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans, if any, (and in each case holders of their component securities, as applicable) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement dated as of December 6, 2021, requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to our Class A ordinary shares). The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, these holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a business combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of $3,450,000, or $0.20 per unit of the gross proceeds of the initial 17,250,000 Units (inclusive of 2,250,000 Unit over-allotment option) sold in the IPO, in the aggregate. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of (i) $0.35 per unit of the gross proceeds of the initial 15,000,000 Units sold in the IPO, or $5,250,000, and (ii) $0.35 per unit of the gross proceeds from the 2,250,000 Units sold pursuant to the over-allotment option, or $787,500, aggregating to a deferred fee of $6,037,500. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete an initial business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Effective as of September 28, 2022, the underwriters from the Initial Public Offering resigned and withdrew from their role in the Business Combination and thereby waived their right to the deferred underwriting commissions in the amount of $6,037,500, which the Company has recorded as a gain on settlement of underwriter fees on the statement of shareholders’ equity for the year ended December 31, 2022 for $5,788,453, which represents the original amount recorded to accumulated deficit, and the remaining balance representing the original amount recorded to the statement of operations of $249,047 was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2023, there are no deferred underwriting commissions outstanding.

Structuring Services Agreement

On May 18, 2023, Grupo Promotor de Desarrollo e Infraestructura, S.A. de C.V. (“Prodi Capital”) engaged the Company to act as a structuring agent in connection with potential transaction related to a business combination. The Company will be entitled to customary fees in such capacity, with payment due at upon finalization of the advisory services. As of June 30, 2023, there are no amounts outstanding.

Critical Accounting Policies

This management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to fair value of financial instruments and accrued expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making

20

judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company has identified the following as its critical accounting policies:

Warrant Liabilities

The Company accounts for warrants based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”), and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.

Net Income Per Ordinary Share

We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” We have two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net income per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net income by the weighted average shares of ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period.

The calculation of diluted net income does not consider the effect of the warrants underlying the Units sold in the IPO (including the consummation of the Over-allotment) and the Private Placement Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 17,575,000 Class A ordinary shares in the calculation of diluted income per share, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2023, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K and did not have any commitments or contractual obligations.

Recent Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

JOBS Act

The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We will qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act will be allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective

21

date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an independent registered public accounting firm’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the report of the independent registered public accounting firm providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis), and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of this offering or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2023. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective, as of June 30, 2023, because of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related to errors in warrant liabilities, classification of temporary and permanent equity, classification error in statement of cash flows, and accuracy and completeness of accounts payable and accrued expenses. The detection of errors did not trigger a financial restatement and had no impact on previously issued financial statements.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Remediation Plan

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed additional post-closing review procedures including reviewing historical filings and consulting with subject matter experts related to the accounting for warrant liabilities. The Company’s management has expended, and will continue to expend, a substantial amount of effort and resources for the remediation and improvement of our internal control over financial reporting. While we have processes to properly identify and evaluate the appropriate accounting technical pronouncements and other literature for all significant or unusual transactions, we have improved, and will continue to improve, these processes to ensure that the nuances of such transactions are effectively evaluated in the context of the increasingly complex accounting standards.

The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.

22

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Other than the matters discussed above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2023, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

None.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

There have been no material changes with respect to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On May 21, 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.006 per share, to cover certain offering costs in consideration for 4,312,500 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 (the “Founder Shares”). On November 8, 2021, the Sponsor transferred 20,000 Founder Shares to each of Angel Losada Moreno and David Proman, two of the Company’s independent directors, for an aggregate purchase price of $231.88 (the same per-share price initially paid by the sponsor), resulting in the Sponsor holding 4,272,500 Founder Shares.

Such securities were issued in connection with our organization pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

Concurrently with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 8,950,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per private placement warrant. Each warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share. The proceeds from the Private Placement Warrants were added to the proceeds from the IPO held in the Trust Account. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Warrants included as part of the Units sold in the IPO, except that the Private Placement Warrants, so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, (i) are not redeemable by us, (ii) may not (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants), subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination, (iii) may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis and (iv) will be entitled to registration rights. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. The issuance of the Private Placement Warrants was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

On February 28, 2023, we issued the First Promissory Note in an amount of $875,000 in order to economically facilitate our ability to effect the First Extension. In connection with the First Promissory Note, on the earlier of (a) our consummation of an initial business combination (as defined in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, as it may be amended from time to time) and (b) December 31, 2023, the Company shall (i) pay to the Payee (as defined in the First Promissory Note) the First Principal Balance and (ii) deliver to the Payee, as interest-in-kind, a number of newly issued Warrants equal to the First Principal Balance divided by (y) $1.00, rounded up to the nearest whole number of warrants. The terms of the Warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants we issued in connection with our IPO. The Payee shall be entitled to certain registration rights with respect to the Warrants and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.

On May 26, 2023, we issued the Second Promissory Note in an amount of $750,000 in order to economically facilitate our ability to effect the Second Extension. In connection with the Second Promissory Note, on the earlier of (a) our consummation of an initial business combination (as defined in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, as it may be amended from time to time) and (b) December 31, 2023, the Company shall (i) pay to the Payee (as defined in the Second Promissory Note) the Second Principal Balance and (ii) deliver to the Payee, as interest-in-kind, a number of newly issued Warrants equal to the Second Principal Balance divided by (y) $1.00, rounded up to the nearest whole number of warrants. The terms of the Warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants we issued in connection with our IPO. The Payee shall be entitled to certain registration rights with respect to the Warrants and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.

Use of Proceeds

On December 9, 2021, we consummated the IPO of 17,250,000 Units, including the issuance of 2,250,000 Units as a result of the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant, with each whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class ordinary share for $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per

23

unit, generating gross proceeds to us of $172,500,000. BofA Securities, Inc. served as the sole underwriter of the IPO. The securities sold in the IPO were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-261247). The SEC declared the registration statement effective on December 6, 2021.

Following the closing of the IPO and the private placement of warrants, $175,950,000 was placed in the Trust Account, comprised of $172,500,000 of the proceeds from the IPO, payment of $3,450,000 of the underwriters’ discount, $8,950,000 of the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Warrants and transfer of $2,050,000 to operating account. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from the IPO as described in the prospectus.

The Company paid an underwriting discount at the closing of the IPO of $3.45 million. An additional fee of $6.04 million was deferred and would become payable upon our completion of an initial business combination. The deferred portion of the discount would become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event we complete our initial business combination subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. However, on September 28, 2022, the underwriters waived their right to receive the deferred fee, resulting in a gain from settlement of deferred underwriting commissions of approximately $6.04 million.
