NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

 

Note 1—Description of Organization, Business Operations, Liquidity and Basis of Presentation

 

SK Growth Opportunities Corporation (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in Cayman Islands on December 8, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. The Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

 

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from December 8, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2024, relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) described below, and since the Initial Public Offering, its search for a Business Combination (as defined below). The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds held in the Trust Account (as defined below).

 

The Company’s sponsor is Auxo Capital Managers LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on June 23, 2022. On June 28, 2022, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $12.0 million, of which $7.0 million was for deferred underwriting commissions (see Note 5). The underwriter was granted a 45-day option from the date of the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at $10.00 per Unit (the “Over-Allotment Option”). On July 20, 2022, pursuant to the underwriter’s notice of the partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, the Company sold an additional 960,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating aggregate additional gross proceeds of $9.6 million to the Company (the “Partial Over-Allotment Exercise”). On August 9, 2022, following the expiration of the remaining Over-Allotment Option, the Sponsor forfeited 510,000 Founder Shares (as defined in Note 4).

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 6,600,000 warrants of the Company (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”), at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating proceeds of $6.6 million (see Note 4). Substantially concurrently with the closing of the Partial Over-Allotment Exercise, the Company completed the sale of 192,000 additional Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor (the “Additional Private Placement”) at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $192,000.

 

In addition, upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering on June 28, 2022, the Sponsor provided the Company with the First Overfunding Loan (as defined in Note 4) in the amount of $5.0 million to deposit in the Trust Account at no interest. In connection with the Partial Over-Allotment Exercise on July 20, 2022, the Sponsor provided the Company with the Second Overfunding Loan (as defined in Note 4) in the amount of $240,000 to deposit in the Trust Account.

 

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Partial Over-Allotment Exercise, approximately $214.8 million ($10.25 per Unit) of net proceeds, including the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, the Partial Over-Allotment Exercise the proceeds of the Overfunding Loans and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement and the Additional Private Placement, was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and invested only in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”) having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

 

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, the sale of Private Placement Warrants and the proceeds from the Overfunding Loan, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the amount of deferred underwriting discounts held in Trust and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company only intends to complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

SK GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

 

The Company will provide the holders of the Company’s Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholders meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then held in the Trust Account (initially at $10.25 per Public Share). The per-share amount to be distributed to Public Shareholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriter (as discussed in Note 5).

 

The Public Shares are recognized at redemption value and classified as temporary equity, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”). The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Articles of Association”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem the Public Shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the initial shareholders (as defined below) agreed to vote their Founder Shares and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination. In addition, the initial shareholders agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination.

 

The Articles of Association provides that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares included in the Units issued in the Company’s Initial Public Offering, without the prior consent of the Company. The holders of the Founder Shares (the “initial shareholders”) agreed not to propose an amendment to the Articles of Association (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with a Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

 

On December 27, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “First Extension Meeting”), to (i) amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Memorandum and Articles of Association”) to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from December 28, 2023 to September 30, 2024 (or March 31, 2025) as the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) may approve in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association (such amendment, the “First Articles Amendment” and such proposal, the “First Extension Amendment Proposal”), (ii) amend the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated June 23, 2022, by and between the Company and Continental, to extend the date on which Continental must liquidate the Trust Account if the Company has not completed its initial business combination, from December 28, 2023 to September 30, 2024 (or March 31, 2025) as the Board may approve (the “First Trust Amendment Proposal”). The First Extension Amendment Proposal and the First Trust Amendment Proposal were approved. In connection with the vote to approve the First Articles Amendment, the holders of 10,903,403 Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.88 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $118,642,864.

 

On September 27, 2024, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Second Extension Meeting”), to (i) amend the Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from September 30, 2024 to March 31, 2025 (such amendment, the “Second Articles Amendment” and such proposal, the “Second Extension Amendment Proposal”), (ii) amend the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated June 23, 2022, by and between the Company and Continental, to extend the date on which Continental must liquidate the Trust Account if the Company has not completed its initial business combination, from September 30, 2024 to March 31, 2025 (the “Second Trust Amendment Proposal”). The Sponsor has agreed that if the Second Extension Amendment Proposal is approved and implemented, it or its designee will contribute to the Company, as a loan, $0.03 for each Public Share that is not redeemed in connection with the Second Extension Amendment Proposal for each calendar month (commencing on October 1, 2024 and on the 1st day of each subsequent month) until March 31, 2025, or portion thereof, that is needed to complete the Business Combination. The Second Extension Amendment Proposal and the Second Trust Amendment Proposal were approved. In connection with the vote to approve the Second Articles Amendment, the holders of 323,637 Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $11.32 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $3,663,464.

If the Company is unable to consummate an initial Business Combination prior to March 31, 2025 (such period, the “Combination Period”), the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

 

The initial shareholders agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the initial shareholders acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriter agreed to waive its rights to the deferred underwriting commission (see Note 5) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within in the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.25. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (except for the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement (a “Target”), reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.25 per Public Share or (ii) the lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or Target that executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriter of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

 

Going Concern Consideration

 

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $621,449 in cash and working capital deficit of approximately $6.8 million.

 

The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering were satisfied through the payment of $25,000 from the Sponsor to purchase Founder Shares, and loan proceeds from the Sponsor of $300,000 under the Note (as defined in Note 4). The Company repaid the Note in full upon closing of the Initial Public Offering. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s liquidity has been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement held outside of the Trust Account. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, members of the Company’s founding team or any of their affiliates may provide the Company with Working Capital Loans (as defined in Note 4) as may be required (of which up to $1.5 million may be converted at the lender’s option into warrants).

 

On October 30, 2023, the Sponsor loaned the Company $380,000 and the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the total principal amount of up to $380,000 to the Sponsor.

 

On March 1, 2024, the Company issued an unsecured convertible promissory note in the total principal amount of up to $900,000 (the “First Sponsor Note”) to Sponsor. The First Sponsor Note does not bear interest on the unpaid principal balance and matures upon closing of the Company’s initial business combination. In the event that the Company does not consummate an initial business combination, the First Sponsor Note will be repaid solely to the extent that the Company has funds available to it, if any, outside of its trust account established in connection with its initial public offering of its securities. The proceeds of the First Sponsor Note will be used to fund ongoing operating expenses of the Company. The total principal amount of the First Sponsor Note may be converted, in whole or in part, at the option of the Sponsor, (i) into warrants of the Company at a price of $1.00 per warrant, with each warrant exercisable for one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Class A Ordinary Share”), or (ii) into Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the amount of accrued and outstanding of the promissory note, by (ii) $10.00. The warrants will be identical to the private placement warrants issued to the Sponsor at the time of the initial public offering of the Company.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

 

On September 27, 2024, the Company issued an unsecured convertible promissory note in the total principal amount of up to $440,000 (the “Second Sponsor Note,” and collectively with the First Sponsor Note, the “Sponsor Note”) to Sponsor. The Second Sponsor Note does not bear interest on the unpaid principal balance and matures upon closing of the Company’s initial business combination. In the event that the Company does not consummate an initial business combination, the Second Sponsor Note will be repaid solely to the extent that the Company has funds available to it, if any, outside of its trust account established in connection with its initial public offering of its securities. The proceeds of the Second Sponsor Note will be used to fund ongoing operating expenses of the Company. The total principal amount of the Second Sponsor Note may be converted, in whole or in part, at the option of the Sponsor, (i) into warrants of the Company at a price of $1.00 per warrant, with each warrant exercisable for one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Class A Ordinary Share”), or (ii) into Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the amount of accrued and outstanding of the promissory note, by (ii) $10.00. The warrants will be identical to the private placement warrants issued to the Sponsor at the time of the initial public offering of the Company.

 

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2024, the Company has $1,720,000 and $380,000 in borrowings under the Sponsor Note, respectively.

 

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern,” the Company has until March 31, 2025, to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time, and if a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, then there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company.

 

Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Management plans to address this uncertainty through the initial Business Combination as discussed above. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate the initial Business Combination will be successful or successful within the Combination Period. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

United States and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and the recent escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict. In response to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) deployed additional military forces to eastern Europe, and the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have announced various sanctions and restrictive actions against Russia, Belarus and related individuals and entities, including the removal of certain financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) payment system. Certain countries, including the United States, have also provided and may continue to provide military aid or other assistance to Ukraine and to Israel, increasing geopolitical tensions among a number of nations. The Russia-Ukraine conflict and the escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict and the resulting measures that have been taken, and could be taken in the future, by NATO, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Israel and its neighboring states and other countries have created global security concerns that could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies. Although the length and impact of the ongoing conflicts are highly unpredictable, they could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions and increased cyberattacks against U.S. companies. Additionally, any resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets.

 

Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures included in the annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these unaudited condensed financial statements as they are not required for interim financial statements under GAAP and the rules of the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) considered for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or any future period.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 29, 2024, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto.

Emerging Growth Company

 

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statement, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

Investments Held in the Trust Account

 

The Company’s portfolio of investments is comprised of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of money market funds, the investments are recognized at fair value. Trading securities and investments in money market funds are presented on the unaudited condensed balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities are included in income from investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the assets held in the Trust Account were in money market funds.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the unaudited condensed balance sheets.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

 

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

 

Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

 

Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company evaluates its financial instruments, including equity-linked financial instruments, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). For freestanding derivative financial instruments that are classified as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recognized at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in the unaudited condensed statements of operations each reporting period. The classification of freestanding derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be classified as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period.

 

The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt instruments to determine whether the embedded conversion and other features should be bifurcated from the debt host instrument and accounted for as a derivative in accordance with ASC 815.

 

The Company accounted for the warrants issued in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815. Application of such guidance provides that the warrants are not precluded from equity classification. The warrants were initially measured at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value are not recognized as long as the contracts continue to be classified in equity.

 

The Partial Over-allotment option was recognized as a derivative liability in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, the Company recognized the instrument as a liability at fair value and adjusted the instrument to fair value at each reporting period. On August 9, 2022, following the expiration of the remaining Over-Allotment Option, the Sponsor forfeited 510,000 Founder Shares and the derivative liability was extinguished.

 

The Non-Redemption Agreements were recognized as a derivative instrument in accordance with ASC 815. The Non-Redemption Agreements represent a right to receive shares in the future contingent upon the consummation of a business combination. Accordingly, any issuance of equity or the right to issue equity will be recorded as an equity transaction and classified as additional paid-in capital and an expense to the company in connection to the non-redeemed shares. The right to receive shares should be fair valued at inception and expensed in the period the agreement was entered into. As a result of the equity classification conclusion will not be remeasured to fair valued at each reporting period.

 

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

 

Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting and advisory fees and other costs incurred through the condensed balance sheet date that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Upon completion of the Initial Public Offering, offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs allocated to the warrants were charged to equity. Offering costs allocated to the Class A ordinary shares were charged against the carrying value of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

 

The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A 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) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A 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, as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 9,732,960 and 10,056,597 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, respectively, are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s unaudited condensed balance sheets.

 

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. This method would view the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption date for the security. Effective with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount, which resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.

 

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the amount of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reflected on the unaudited condensed balance sheets is reconciled in the following table:

Net Income per Ordinary Share

 

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has 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 computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the periods. Remeasurement associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from net income per ordinary share as the redemption value approximates fair value. Therefore, the net income per ordinary share calculation allocates income shared pro rata between Class A and Class B ordinary shares. The Company has not considered the effect of the exercise of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 17,272,000 shares in the calculation of diluted income per ordinary share, since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. 

 

The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income per ordinary share (in dollars, except per share amounts):

 

   For the Three Months Ended September 30,

Stock Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation expense in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date and recognized over the requisite service period. To the extent a stock-based award is subject to a performance condition, the amount of expense recorded in a given period, if any, reflects an assessment of the probability of achieving such performance condition, with compensation recognized once the event is deemed probable to occur. Forfeitures are recognized as incurred.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income Taxes FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties.

 

The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with the Cayman Islands’ income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

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

 

Note 3—Initial Public Offering

 

On June 28, 2022, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $12.0 million, of which $7.0 million was for deferred underwriting commissions.

 

The underwriter was granted the Over-Allotment Option to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at $10.00 per Unit. On July 20, 2022, pursuant to the underwriter’s notice of the partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, the Company sold an additional 960,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating aggregate additional gross proceeds of $9.6 million to the Company and incurring deferred underwriting commissions of $336,000. The remaining Over-Allotment Option expired on August 7, 2022. On August 9, 2022, following the expiration of the remaining Over-Allotment Option, the Sponsor forfeited 510,000 Founder Shares (as defined in Note 4).

 

Each Unit consists of one share of Class A ordinary shares, and one-half of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”). Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A ordinary shares at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 6). 

 

Note 4—Related Party Transactions

 

Founder Shares

 

On December 9, 2021, the sponsor purchased 8,625,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 (the “Founder Shares”), to cover certain expenses on the Company’s behalf for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. On February 24, 2022, 1,437,500 Class B ordinary shares were surrendered and thereupon cancelled by the Company. On May 5, 2022, 1,437,500 Class B ordinary shares were surrendered and thereupon cancelled by the Company resulting in a decrease in the total number of Class B ordinary shares outstanding to 5,750,000 shares. The Sponsor agreed to forfeit up to an aggregate of 750,000 Founder Shares to the extent that the option to purchase additional Units is not exercised in full by the underwriter or is reduced, so that the Founder Shares would represent 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares upon the Initial Public Offering. On July 20, 2022, the Company sold an additional 960,000 Units in the Partial Over-Allotment Exercise pursuant to the underwriter’s notice of the partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. On August 9, 2022, following the expiration of the remaining Over-Allotment Option, the Sponsor forfeited 510,000 Founder Shares.

 

The initial shareholders, and the executive officers and directors of the Company, agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (i) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination; and (ii) subsequent to the initial Business Combination (x) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property or (y) if the closing price of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the initial shareholders with respect to any Founder Shares.

 

In February and March 2022, the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 90,000 Class B ordinary shares to the Company’s independent director nominees. The sale of the Founder Shares is in the scope of ASC 718. The Founder Shares were granted subject to a performance condition (i.e., the occurrence of a Business Combination). Compensation expense related to the Founder Shares is recognized only when the performance condition is probable of occurrence under the applicable accounting literature in this circumstance. As of September 30, 2024, the Company determined that a Business Combination is not considered probable, and, therefore, no stock-based compensation expense has been recognized. Stock-based compensation will be recognized at the date a Business Combination is considered probable (i.e., upon consummation of a Business Combination) in an amount equal to the number of Founder Shares that ultimately vest multiplied times the grant date fair value per share (unless subsequently modified) less the amount initially received for the purchase of the Founder Shares.

Private Placement Warrants

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 6,600,000 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating proceeds of $6.6 million.

 

Substantially concurrently with the closing of the Partial Over-Allotment Exercise, the Company completed the Additional Private Placement of 192,000 additional Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $192,000.

 

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The purchasers of the Private Placement Warrants agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Warrants (except to permitted transferees) until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination.

 

Related Party Loans

 

Promissory Note to Sponsor

 

The Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 to be used for the payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note, dated on December 9, 2021 and was later amended on May 5, 2022 (the “Note”). The Note was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Company borrowed $300,000 under the Note and repaid the Note in full upon closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Note was no longer available to draw on after the consummation of the Initial Public Offering.

 

Overfunding Loans

 

On June 28, 2022, in connection with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor loaned the Company $5.0 million under a non-interest bearing loan agreement (the “First Overfunding Loan”) to deposit in the Trust Account. On July 20, 2022, in connection with the Partial Over-Allotment Exercise, the Sponsor provided the Company with the second Overfunding Loan in the amount of $240,000 to deposit in the Trust Account under the same terms (the “Second Overfunding Loan”, together, the “Overfunding Loans”). The Overfunding Loans will be repaid upon the closing of an initial Business Combination or converted into Class A ordinary shares at a conversion price of $10.00 per Class A ordinary share (or a combination of both), at the Sponsor’s discretion, provided that any such conversion may not occur until August 22, 2022. If the Company does not complete an initial Business Combination, it will not repay the Overfunding Loans from amounts held in the Trust Account, and the Trust Account proceeds will be distributed to the Public Shareholders; however, the Company may repay the Overfunding Loans if there are funds available outside the Trust Account to do so. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $5,240,000 in borrowings under the First Overfunding Loan.

 

Working Capital Loans

 

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

 

Promissory Notes

 

On October 30, 2023, the Sponsor loaned the Company $380,000 and the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the total principal amount of up to $380,000 to the Sponsor, which does not bear interest on the unpaid principal balance and matures upon closing of the company’s initial business combination and shall be convertible at the election of the sponsor into warrants exercisable for one Class A ordinary share of the post-business combination company at a price of $1.00 per warrant.

On March 1, 2024, the Company issued an unsecured convertible promissory note in the total principal amount of up to $900,000 (the “First Sponsor Note”) to Sponsor. The First Sponsor Note does not bear interest on the unpaid principal balance and matures upon closing of the Company’s initial business combination. In the event that the Company does not consummate an initial business combination, the First Sponsor Note will be repaid solely to the extent that the Company has funds available to it, if any, outside of its trust account established in connection with its initial public offering of its securities. The proceeds of the First Sponsor Note will be used to fund ongoing operating expenses of the Company. The total principal amount of the First Sponsor Note may be converted, in whole or in part, at the option of the Sponsor, (i) into warrants of the Company at a price of $1.00 per warrant, with each warrant exercisable for one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Class A Ordinary Share”), or (ii) into Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the amount of accrued and outstanding of the promissory note, by (ii) $10.00. The warrants will be identical to the private placement warrants issued to the Sponsor at the time of the initial public offering of the Company.

 

On September 27, 2024, the Company issued an unsecured convertible promissory note in the total principal amount of up to $440,000 (the “Second Sponsor Note”) to Sponsor. The Second Sponsor Note does not bear interest on the unpaid principal balance and matures upon closing of the Company’s initial business combination. In the event that the Company does not consummate an initial business combination, the Second Sponsor Note will be repaid solely to the extent that the Company has funds available to it, if any, outside of its trust account established in connection with its initial public offering of its securities. The proceeds of the Second Sponsor Note will be used to fund ongoing operating expenses of the Company. The total principal amount of the Second Sponsor Note may be converted, in whole or in part, at the option of the Sponsor, (i) into warrants of the Company at a price of $1.00 per warrant, with each warrant exercisable for one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Class A Ordinary Share”), or (ii) into Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the amount of accrued and outstanding of the promissory note, by (ii) $10.00. The warrants will be identical to the private placement warrants issued to the Sponsor at the time of the initial public offering of the Company.

 

In the event that the Company does not consummate an initial business combination, the promissory note will be repaid solely to the extent that the Company has funds available to it, if any, outside of its trust account established in connection with its initial public offering of its securities.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $1,720,000 and $380,000, respectively, in borrowings under the Promissory Notes.

 

Extension Loans

 

In order to extend the time available for the Company to consummate its initial Business Combination by an additional three months each time, the Sponsor or its affiliates or designees may provide an Extension Loan to the Company to provide funds to deposit into the Trust Account an additional amount of $0.10 per share each time. The Extension Loan will be provided under the form of a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note.

 

Such Extension Loans may be converted into warrants upon the consummation of the initial business combination, at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. If the Company completes the initial Business Combination, and the lender decides not to convert the Extension Loans into warrants, the Company would repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, it will not repay such loans. The Sponsor and its affiliates or designees are not obligated to fund the Trust Account to extend the time for the Company to complete the initial Business Combination. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Extension Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $0 in borrowings under the Extension Loans.

 

Administrative Services Agreement

 

On June 23, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with an affiliate of the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay such affiliate a total of $10,000 per month for secretarial and administrative support services provided to the Company through the earlier of consummation of the initial Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation. The Company incurred $30,000 and $90,000 in such fees included as general and administrative expenses on the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

In addition, the Sponsor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on the Company’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable Business Combinations. The audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the Sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates and will determine which expenses and the amount of expenses that will be reimbursed. There is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on the Company’s behalf.

Note 5—Commitments and Contingencies

 

Shareholder and Registration Rights

 

Pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement entered into on June 23, 2022, the holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants, Class A ordinary shares underlying the Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and Extension Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and Extension Loans), have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of the securities held by them. These holders are entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not be required to effect or permit any registration or cause any registration statement to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

 

Underwriting and Advisory Agreement

 

The underwriter was entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $4.0 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. An additional fee of $0.35 per Unit, or approximately $7.0 million in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriter for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

 

The Company also engaged Cohen & Company Capital Markets (“CCM”) to provide consulting and advisory services to the Company in connection with the Initial Public Offering, for which it would receive (i) an advisory fee of $400,000, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, and (ii) a deferred advisory fee of $700,000 (payable solely in the event that the Company completes the initial Business Combination). The underwriter has reimbursed a portion of its fees to cover for the fees payable to CCM.

 

In connection with the consummation of the Partial Over-Allotment Exercise, the underwriter and CCM were entitled to an additional fee in the aggregate amount of $192,000, paid upfront on July 20, 2022, and $336,000 in deferred underwriting and advisory commissions (net of the reimbursement from the underwriter to cover for the fees payable to CCM).

 

On February 27, 2024, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., agreed to waive its entitlement to the payment of any underwriting discount due to it pursuant to the Underwiring Agreement in connection with the Company’s potential business combination with Webull.

 

Non-Redemption Agreements

 

In connection with the First Extension Meeting to approve the First Extension Amendment Proposal, the Company and Sponsor entered into non-redemption agreements (the “Non-Redemption Agreements”) with several unaffiliated third parties (the “Investors”), pursuant to which such third parties agreed not to redeem (or to validly rescind any redemption requests on) an aggregate of 8,530,242 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”) of the Company in connection with the First Extension Amendment Proposal. In exchange for the foregoing commitments not to redeem such Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company, (i) the Sponsor agreed to surrender to the Company and forfeit for no consideration an aggregate of 1,279,536 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Ordinary Shares” and together with the Class A Ordinary Shares, the “Ordinary Shares”) of the Company and (ii) the Company agreed to issue or cause to be issued to the Investors for no additional consideration an aggregate of 1,279,536 Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company, each in connection with the Company’s completion of its initial business combination. The Non-Redemption Agreements increased the amount of funds that remain in the Company’s Trust Account following the First Extension Meeting.

 

The Company estimated the aggregate fair value of the Class A Ordinary Shares attributable to the Investors to be $274,826 or $0.21 per share. Accordingly, in substance, it was recognized by the Company as an expense to induce these holders of the Class A shares not to redeem, with a corresponding charge to additional paid-in capital to recognize the fair value of the shares transferred as an offering cost.

 

The fair value of the Class A Ordinary Shares was based on a Monte Carlo model using the following significant inputs:

 

   December 27,
2023
 
Stock price  $10.86 
Volatility   40.00%

Class B Ordinary Shares—The Company is authorized to issue 999,000,000 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of December 31, 2022, there were 5,240,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding, which amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the share surrenders of Class B ordinary shares to the Company on February 24, 2022 and May 5, 2022 as discussed in Note 4. Of the 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares outstanding, up to an aggregate of 750,000 shares was subject to forfeiture to the extent that the option to purchase additional Units is not exercised in full by the underwriter or is reduced, so that the Founder Shares would represent 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. On July 20, 2022, the Company sold an additional 960,000 Units in the Partial Over-Allotment Exercise pursuant to the underwriter’s notice of the partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. On August 9, 2022, following the expiration of the remaining Over-Allotment Option, the Sponsor forfeited 510,000 Founder Shares. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 there were 5,240,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding.

 

Ordinary shareholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. Except as described below, holders of the Class A ordinary shares and holders of the Class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders, except as required by law.

 

The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of the initial Business Combination or earlier at the option of the holders thereof at a ratio such that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of (i) the total number of ordinary shares issued and outstanding upon completion of the Initial Public Offering, plus (ii) (a) 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 Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, excluding any Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A ordinary shares issued, deemed issued, or to be issued to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any private placement warrants issued to the Sponsor, its affiliates or any member of the management team upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and Extension Loans and (b) any Class A ordinary shares issued to the Sponsor upon conversion of Overfunding Loans. Any conversion of Class B ordinary shares described herein will take effect as a compulsory redemption of Class B ordinary shares and an issuance of Class A ordinary shares as a matter of Cayman Islands law. In no event will the Class B ordinary shares convert into Class A ordinary shares at a rate of less than one to one.

 

Warrants—As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had 10,480,000 Public Warrants and 6,792,000 Private Placement Warrants outstanding. Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional Public Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Public Warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, provided that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act). The Company agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of the Business Combination and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company’s ordinary shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under the Securities Act, the Company, at its option, may require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement. The Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination or earlier upon the Company’s redemption or liquidation.

 

The warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments, and will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the initial shareholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by such shareholder) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates the initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described under “Redemption of Public Warrants” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants (i) will not be redeemable by the Company, (ii) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders (and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants may not be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders) until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination, (iii) may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis and (iv) will be entitled to registration rights.

 

Redemption of Public Warrants: Once the Public Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants:

 

  in whole and not in part;
     
  at a price of $0.01 per warrant;
     
  upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, the “30-day redemption period”; and

The Company will not redeem the Public Warrants as described above unless an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares is available throughout the 30-day redemption period or the Company has elected to require the exercise of the Public Warrants on a “cashless basis”. If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption as described above, the Company will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise such warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.”

Overview

 

We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on December 8, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We are an emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

 

Our Sponsor is Auxo Capital Managers LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The registration statement for our Initial Public Offering was declared effective on June 23, 2022. On June 28, 2022, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $12.0 million, of which $7.0 million was for deferred underwriting commissions. The underwriter was granted a 45-day option from the date of the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at $10.00 per Unit. On July 20, 2022, pursuant to the underwriter’s notice of the partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, we sold an additional 960,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating aggregate additional gross proceeds of $9.6 million to us. On August 7, 2022, the remaining Over-Allotment Option expired unexercised.

 

On August 10, 2022, the Company announced that, effective August 15, 2022, the Company’s Class A ordinary shares and warrants comprising each issued and outstanding Unit will commence trading separately under the ticker symbols “SKGR” and “SKGW,” respectively. Holders of Units may elect to continue to hold Units or separate their Units into the component securities.

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the Private Placement of 6,600,000 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to our Sponsor, generating proceeds of $6.6 million. Substantially concurrently with the closing of the Partial Over-Allotment Exercise, we completed an additional private placement of 192,000 Private Placement Warrants to our Sponsor at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $192,000.

 

In addition, upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering on June 28, 2022, our Sponsor provided us with the First Overfunding Loan in the amount of $5.0 million to deposit in the Trust Account at no interest. In connection with the Partial Over-Allotment Exercise on July 20, 2022, our Sponsor provided us with the Second Overfunding Loan in the amount of $240,000 to deposit in the Trust Account.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Partial Over-Allotment Exercise, approximately $214.8 million ($10.25 per Unit) of net proceeds, including the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, the Partial Over-Allotment Exercise, the proceeds of the Overfunding Loans and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement and the Additional Private Placement, was placed in the Trust Account located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and invested only in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by us, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

 

We will provide the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholders meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether we will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by us, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then held in the Trust Account (initially at $10.25 per Public Share). The per-share amount to be distributed to Public Shareholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions we will pay to the underwriter.

 

If we are unable to consummate an initial business combination prior to March 31, 2025 (such period, the “Combination Period”), we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of the then-outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

 

Proposed Business Combination

 

On February 27, 2024, we entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Webull Corporation, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Webull”), Feather Sound I Inc., an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Webull (“Merger Sub I”) and Feather Sound II Inc., an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Webull (“Merger Sub II”).

 

Termination

 

The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances prior to the First Merger Effective Time, including, among others: (i) by mutual written consent of Webull and us; (ii) by Webull or us if any law or governmental order is in effect that has become final and non-appealable and has the effect of making the consummation of the Transactions illegal or otherwise preventing or prohibiting consummation of the Transactions; (ii) by Webull if our board or any of its committees shall have withheld, withdrawn, qualified, amended or modified, or publicly proposed to do any of the foregoing, with respect to our board recommendation that our shareholders vote in favor of the SPAC Transaction Proposals (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) at the duly convened meeting of our shareholders, (iii) by Webull if we shall have failed to obtain the approval of our shareholders in an extraordinary general meeting in connection with the amendment to our organizational documents to extend the deadline for us to consummate an initial business combination; (iv) by Webull or us if the SPAC Shareholders’ Approval shall not have been obtained at the meeting of our shareholders, (v) by Webull or us if the required approval by the shareholders of the Webull shall not have been obtained; (vi) by Webull or us upon a breach of or failure to perform any representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements set forth in the Business Combination Agreement by the other party if such breach gives rise to a failure of certain closing conditions to be satisfied and cannot or has not been cured; and (vii) by Webull or us if the Transactions shall not have been consummated on or prior to the March 31, 2025, in each case subject to specified exceptions.

 

The Business Combination Agreement and related agreements are further described in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024. Other than as specifically discussed, this Quarterly Report does not assume the closing of the Business Combination or the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

Sponsor Support Agreement

 

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, we have entered into a support agreement with Webull and the SPAC Insiders (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”), pursuant to which, each SPAC Insider agreed, among other things, (a) at any meeting of our shareholders called to seek SPAC Shareholders’ Approval or SPAC Shareholder Extension Approval (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), or in connection with any written consent of our shareholders or in any other circumstances upon which a vote, consent or other approval with respect to the Business Combination Agreement and the Transactions, such SPAC Insider (i) agreed to, if a meeting is held, appear at such meeting or otherwise cause our Class B ordinary shares held by such SPAC Insider to be counted as present at such meeting for purposes of establishing a quorum, and (ii) vote or cause to be voted our Class B ordinary shares held by such SPAC Insider in favor of the SPAC Shareholders’ Approval or the SPAC Shareholder Extension Approval; and (b) subject to the exceptions set forth in the Sponsor Support Agreement, agreed to become subject to certain transfer restrictions with respect to (i) any Webull Ordinary Shares held by each SPAC Insider immediately after the First Merger Effective Time during a period of twelve (12)-months from and after the Closing Date, (ii) Webull Class A ordinary share (the “Webull Warrants”) or class A ordinary shares of Webull, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Webull Class A Ordinary Shares”) underlying such warrants held by each SPAC Insiders immediately after the First Merger Effective Time until thirty (30) days after the Closing Date.

 

Following the date of the Business Combination Agreement, we and our sponsor will use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into additional Non-Redemption Agreements with our public shareholders, pursuant to which our sponsor will be required to forfeit for no consideration 2,000,000 of Class B ordinary shares held by our sponsor. To the extent the aggregate amount of our Class B ordinary shares to be forfeited by our sponsor pursuant to such additional Non-Redemption Agreements is less than 2,000,000, our sponsor will forfeit an additional amount of our Class B ordinary shares on the Closing Date and immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time, such that our sponsor will forfeit an aggregate of 2,000,000 Class B ordinary shares pursuant to such additional Non-Redemption Agreements and the Sponsor Support Agreement.

 

In addition, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Sponsor Support Agreement, following the closing of the Business Combination until 30 days following the expiration of the statute of limitations for the applicable taxes (or if an audit is commenced during this period, until the completion of the audit), subject to the occurrence of certain triggering events, Webull agreed to indemnify our sponsor and each other SPAC Insiders for any U.S. federal (and applicable U.S. state and U.S. local) income taxes, together with any interests and penalties (the “Indemnifiable Amounts”) payable by our sponsor or the other SPAC Insiders, as applicable, solely arising from or attributable to the failure of the Mergers to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or as an exchange described in Section 351 of the Code, provided, however, that Webull shall not have any liability in respect of any Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent that the aggregate amount of such Indemnifiable Amounts exceeds $5,000,000.

 

The foregoing description of the Sponsor Support Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Sponsor Support Agreement, a copy of which is filed with our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024 which is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Going Concern Consideration

 

As of September 30, 2024, the company had $621,449 in cash and working capital deficit of approximately $6.8 million.

 

Our liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the initial public offering were satisfied through the payment of $25,000 from our sponsor to purchase founder shares, and loan proceeds from our sponsor of $300,000 under a promissory note, dated December 9, 2021 that was later amended on May 5, 2022 (the “Note”). We repaid the Note in full upon closing of the initial public offering. Subsequent to the consummation of the initial public offering, our liquidity has been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the initial public offering, the overfunding loans and the private placement held outside of the trust account. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, our sponsor, members of our founding team or any of their affiliates may provide us with working capital loans as may be required (of which up to $1.5 million may be converted at the lender’s option into warrants).We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our acquisition plans. In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern,” we have until September 30, 2024 (or March 31, 2025 as may be approved as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 29, 2024) to consummate a business combination. It is uncertain that we will be able to consummate a business combination by this time, and if a business combination is not consummated by this date, then there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of our company.

 

22

 

 

Our management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a business combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Our management plans to address this uncertainty through the initial business combination as discussed above. There is no assurance that our plans to consummate the initial business combination will be successful or successful by March 31, 2025 as described in our Definitive Proxy Statement filed with the SEC on September 3, 2024, as amended by the Amendment to the Definitive Proxy Statement filed with the SEC on September 17, 2024 and September 25, 2024, respectively. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

United States and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and the recent escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict. In response to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) deployed additional military forces to eastern Europe, and the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have announced various sanctions and restrictive actions against Russia, Belarus and related individuals and entities, including the removal of certain financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) payment system. Certain countries, including the United States, have also provided and may continue to provide military aid or other assistance to Ukraine and to Israel, increasing geopolitical tensions among a number of nations. The Russia-Ukraine conflict and the escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict and the resulting measures that have been taken, and could be taken in the future, by NATO, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Israel and its neighboring states and other countries have created global security concerns that could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies. Although the length and impact of the ongoing conflicts are highly unpredictable, they could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions and increased cyber-attacks against U.S. companies. Additionally, any resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets.

 

Any of the above mentioned factors, or any other negative impact on the global economy, capital markets or other geopolitical conditions resulting from the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict and subsequent sanctions or related actions, could adversely affect the Company’s search for an initial business combination and any target business with which the Company may ultimately consummate an initial business combination.

 

Results of Operations

 

Our entire activity since inception up to September 30, 2024, related to our formation, the preparation for the Initial Public Offering, and since the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. We will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we had a net income of approximately $1.1 million, which consisted of approximately $1.5 million in income from investments held in the trust account, offset by approximately $340,000 in general and administrative expenses (of which $30,000 was for administrative expenses for related party).

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we had a net income of approximately $2.2 million, which consisted of approximately $4.3 million in income from investments held in the trust account, offset by approximately $2.1 million in general and administrative expenses (of which $90,000 was for administrative expenses for related party).

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we had a net income of approximately $1.9 million which consisted of approximately $2.9 million in income from investments held in the Trust Account, offset by approximately $1.0 million in general and administrative expenses (of which $30,000 was for administrative expenses for related party).

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we had a net income of approximately $6.1 million, which consisted of approximately $7.6 million in income from investments held in the Trust Account, offset by approximately $1.6 million in general and administrative expenses (of which $90,000 was for administrative expenses for related party).

Contractual Obligations

 

Shareholder and Registration Rights

 

Pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement entered into on June 23, 2022, the holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants, Class A ordinary shares underlying the Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and Extension Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and Extension Loans), have registration rights to require us to register a sale of any of the securities held by them. These holders are entitled to certain demand and “piggy-back” registration rights. However, the registration rights agreement provides that we will not be required to effect or permit any registration or cause any registration statement to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

 

Underwriting and Advisory Agreement

 

The underwriter was entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $4.0 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. An additional fee of $0.35 per Unit, or approximately $7.0 million in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriter for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

 

We also engaged Cohen & Company Capital Markets (“CCM”) to provide consulting and advisory services to us in connection with the Initial Public Offering, for which it would receive: (i) an advisory fee of $400,000, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, and (ii) a deferred advisory fee of $700,000 (payable solely in the event that we complete the initial Business Combination. The underwriter has reimbursed a portion of their fees to cover for the fees payable to CCM.

 

In connection with the consummation of the Partial Over-Allotment Exercise, the underwriter and CCM were entitled to an additional fee of $192,000, paid upfront on July 20, 2022, and $240,000 in deferred underwriting and advisory commissions, (net of the reimbursement from the underwriter to cover for the fees payable to CCM).

 

Administrative Services Agreement

 

On June 23, 2022, we entered into an agreement with an affiliate of our sponsor, pursuant to which we agreed to pay such affiliate a total of $10,000 per month for secretarial and administrative support services provided to us through the earlier of consummation of the initial business combination and our liquidation. We incurred $30,000 and $90,000 in such fees included as general and administrative expenses on the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, we fully paid for such services. We incurred $30,000 and $90,000 in such fees included as general and administrative expenses on the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, we fully paid for such services.

 

In addition, our sponsor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. The audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates and will determine which expenses and the amount of expenses that will be reimbursed. There is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on our behalf.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following as critical accounting estimates.

 

24

 

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

We evaluate our financial instruments, including equity-linked financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). For freestanding derivative financial instruments that are classified as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recognized at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in the unaudited condensed statements of operations each reporting period. The classification of freestanding derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be classified as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period.

 

We evaluate embedded conversion features within convertible debt instruments to determine whether the embedded conversion and other features should be bifurcated from the debt host instrument and accounted for as a derivative in accordance with ASC 815.

 

We accounted for Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815. Application of such guidance provides that the warrants are not precluded from equity classification. The warrants were initially measured at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value are not recognized as long as the contracts continue to be classified in equity.

 

The Over-Allotment Option was recognized as a derivative liability in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, we recognized the instrument as a liability at fair value and adjusted the instrument to fair value at each reporting period. On August 9, 2022, following the expiration of the remaining Over-Allotment Option, the Sponsor forfeited 510,000 Founder Shares and the derivative liability was extinguished.

 

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

 

We account for our Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A 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 our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. Our Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2024, 9,732,960 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of our unaudited condensed balance sheets.

 

We recognize changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying value of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. This method would view the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption date for the security. Effective with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount, which resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Our management do not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards updates, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

 

As of September 30, 2024, 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.

 

25

 

 

JOBS Act

 

On April 5, 2012, the JOBS Act was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act and are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We elected 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 unaudited condensed financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

 

As an “emerging growth company”, we are not required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’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 auditor’s report 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 our initial public 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 otherwise required under this item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2024.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been 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 has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Use of Proceeds

 

In connection with the Initial Public Offering and the Partial Over-Allotment Exercise, we incurred offering costs of approximately $12.6 million (including deferred underwriting commissions of approximately $7.3 million). Other incurred offering costs consisted principally of preparation fees related to the Initial Public Offering. After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions (excluding the deferred portion, which amount will be payable upon consummation of the initial Business Combination, if consummated) and the Initial Public Offering expenses, approximately $214.8 million of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, the Partial Over-Allotment Exercise, the proceeds of the Overfunding Loans and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement and the Additional Private Placement was placed in the Trust Account. The net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, the Partial Over-Allotment Exercise, the proceeds of the Overfunding Loans and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement and the Additional Private Placement are held in the Trust Account and invested as described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. 

 

There has been no material change in the planned use of the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering, the Overfunding Loan and the Private Placement as is described in the Company’s final prospectus related to the Initial Public Offering.

10 Variation of Rights of Shares

 

10.1 Subject to Article 3.1, if at any time the share capital of the Company is divided into different classes of Shares, all or any of the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class) may, whether or not the Company is being wound up, be varied without the consent of the holders of the issued Shares of that class where such variation is considered by the Directors not to have a material adverse effect upon such rights; otherwise, any such variation shall be made only with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than two thirds of the issued Shares of that class (other than with respect to a waiver of the provisions of the Class B Ordinary Share Conversion Article hereof, which as stated therein shall only require the consent in writing of the holders of a majority of the issued Shares of that class), or with the approval of a resolution passed by a majority of not less than two thirds of the votes cast at a separate meeting of the holders of the Shares of that class. For the avoidance of doubt, the Directors reserve the right, notwithstanding that any such variation may not have a material adverse effect, to obtain consent from the holders of Shares of the relevant class. To any such meeting all the provisions of the Articles relating to general meetings shall apply mutatis mutandis, except that the necessary quorum shall be one person holding or representing by proxy at least one-third of the issued Shares of the class and that any holder of Shares of the class present in person or by proxy may demand a poll.

10.2 For the purposes of a separate class meeting, the Directors may treat two or more or all the classes of Shares as forming one class of Shares if the Directors consider that such class of Shares would be affected in the same way by the proposals under consideration, but in any other case shall treat them as separate classes of Shares.

 

10.3 The rights conferred upon the holders of the Shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further Shares ranking pari passu therewith or Shares issued with preferred or other rights.

 

11 Commission on Sale of Shares

 

The Company may, in so far as the Statute permits, pay a commission to any person in consideration of that person subscribing or agreeing to subscribe (whether absolutely or conditionally) or procuring or agreeing to procure subscriptions (whether absolutely or conditionally) for any Shares. Such commissions may be satisfied by the payment of cash and/or the issue of fully or partly paid-up Shares. The Company may also on any issue of Shares pay such brokerage as may be lawful.

 

12 Non Recognition of Trusts

 

The Company shall not be bound by or compelled to recognise in any way (even when notified) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any Share, or (except only as is otherwise provided by the Articles or the Statute) any other rights in respect of any Share other than an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the holder.

The registration of a transfer of any such Share shall operate as a waiver of the Company’s lien thereon. The Company’s lien on a Share shall also extend to any amount payable in respect of that Share.

 

13.2 The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors think fit, any Shares on which the Company has a lien, if a sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable, and is not paid within 14 clear days after notice has been received or deemed to have been received by the holder of the Shares, or to the person entitled to it in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of the holder, demanding payment and stating that if the notice is not complied with the Shares may be sold.

The purchaser or their nominee shall be registered as the holder of the Shares comprised in any such transfer, and they shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall their title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the sale or the exercise of the Company’s power of sale under the Articles.

 

13.4 The net proceeds of such sale after payment of costs, shall be applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable and any balance shall (subject to a like lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the Shares before the sale) be paid to the person entitled to the Shares at the date of the sale.

 

14 Call on Shares

 

14.1 Subject to the terms of the allotment and issue of any Shares, the Directors may make calls upon the Members in respect of any monies unpaid on their Shares (whether in respect of par value or premium), and each Member shall (subject to receiving at least 14 clear days’ notice specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified the amount called on the Shares. A call may be revoked or postponed, in whole or in part, as the Directors may determine. A call may be required to be paid by instalments. A person upon whom a call is made shall remain liable for calls made upon them notwithstanding the subsequent transfer of the Shares in respect of which the call was made.

 

14.2 A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Directors authorising such call was passed.

 

14.3 The joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof.

 

14.4 If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable, the person from whom it is due shall pay interest on the amount unpaid from the day it became due and payable until it is paid at such rate as the Directors may determine (and in addition all expenses that have been incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment), but the Directors may waive payment of the interest or expenses wholly or in part.

 

14.5 An amount payable in respect of a Share on issue or allotment or at any fixed date, whether on account of the par value of the Share or premium or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a call and if it is not paid all the provisions of the Articles shall apply as if that amount had become due and payable by virtue of a call.

 

14.6 The Directors may issue Shares with different terms as to the amount and times of payment of calls, or the interest to be paid.

 

14.7 The Directors may, if they think fit, receive an amount from any Member willing to advance all or any part of the monies uncalled and unpaid upon any Shares held by that Member, and may (until the amount would otherwise become payable) pay interest at such rate as may be agreed upon between the Directors and the Member paying such amount in advance.

14.8 No such amount paid in advance of calls shall entitle the Member paying such amount to any portion of a Dividend or other distribution payable in respect of any period prior to the date upon which such amount would, but for such payment, become payable.

 

15 Forfeiture of Shares

 

15.1 If a call or instalment of a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable the Directors may give to the person from whom it is due not less than 14 clear days’ notice requiring payment of the amount unpaid together with any interest which may have accrued and any expenses incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment. The notice shall specify where payment is to be made and shall state that if the notice is not complied with the Shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

 

15.2 If the notice is not complied with, any Share in respect of which it was given may, before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors. Such forfeiture shall include all Dividends, other distributions or other monies payable in respect of the forfeited Share and not paid before the forfeiture.

 

15.3 A forfeited Share may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit and at any time before a sale, re-allotment or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit. Where for the purposes of its disposal a forfeited Share is to be transferred to any person the Directors may authorise some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Share in favour of that person.

 

15.4 A person any of whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Member in respect of them and shall surrender to the Company for cancellation the certificate for the Shares forfeited and shall remain liable to pay to the Company all monies which at the date of forfeiture were payable by that person to the Company in respect of those Shares together with interest at such rate as the Directors may determine, but that person’s liability shall cease if and when the Company shall have received payment in full of all monies due and payable by them in respect of those Shares.

 

15.5 A certificate in writing under the hand of one Director or Officer that a Share has been forfeited on a specified date shall be conclusive evidence of the facts stated in it as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the Share. The certificate shall (subject to the execution of an instrument of transfer) constitute a good title to the Share and the person to whom the Share is sold or otherwise disposed of shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall their title to the Share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale or disposal of the Share.

 

15.6 The provisions of the Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the par value of the Share or by way of premium as if it had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

 

16 Transmission of Shares

 

16.1 If a Member dies, the survivor or survivors (where they were a joint holder), or their legal personal representatives (where they were a sole holder), shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having any title to the deceased Member’s Shares. The estate of a deceased Member is not thereby released from any liability in respect of any Share, for which the Member was a joint or sole holder.

16.2 Any person becoming entitled to a Share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other way than by transfer) may, upon such evidence being produced as may be required by the Directors, elect, by a notice in writing sent by that person to the Company, either to become the holder of such Share or to have some person nominated by them registered as the holder of such Share. If they elect to have another person registered as the holder of such Share they shall sign an instrument of transfer of that Share to that person. The Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the relevant Member before their death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution, as the case may be.

 

16.3 A person becoming entitled to a Share by reason of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other case than by transfer) shall be entitled to the same Dividends, other distributions and other advantages to which they would be entitled if they were the holder of such Share. However, they shall not, before becoming a Member in respect of a Share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to general meetings of the Company and the Directors may at any time give notice requiring any such person to elect either to be registered or to have some person nominated by them registered as the holder of the Share (but the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the relevant Member before their death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution or any other case than by transfer, as the case may be). If the notice is not complied with within 90 days of being received or deemed to be received (as determined pursuant to the Articles), the Directors may thereafter withhold payment of all Dividends, other distributions, bonuses or other monies payable in respect of the Share until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

 

17 Class B Ordinary Share Conversion

 

17.1 The rights attaching to the Class A Shares and Class B Shares shall rank pari passu in all respects, and the Class A Shares and Class B Shares shall vote together as a single class on all matters (subject to the Variation of Rights of Shares Article hereof) with the exception that the holder of a Class B Share shall have the conversion rights referred to in this Article.

 

17.2 Class B Shares shall automatically convert into Class A Shares on a one-for-one basis (the “Initial Conversion Ratio”): (a) at any time and from time to time at the option of the holders thereof; or (b) automatically on the day of the consummation of a Business Combination.

 

17.3 Notwithstanding the Initial Conversion Ratio, in the case that additional Class A Shares or any other Equity-linked Securities, are issued, or deemed issued, by the Company in excess of the amounts offered in the IPO and related to the consummation of a Business Combination, all Class B Shares in issue shall automatically convert into Class A Shares at the time of the consummation of a Business Combination at a ratio for which the Class B Shares shall convert into Class A Shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the Class B Shares in issue agree to waive such anti-dilution adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A Shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B Shares will equal, on an as-converted basis, in the aggregate, 20% of the sum of all Class A Shares and Class B Shares in issue upon completion of the IPO plus all Class A Shares issued or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any Equity-linked Securities or rights issued or deemed issued in connection with or in relation to a Business Combination, excluding any Class A Shares or Equity-linked Securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A Shares issued, deemed issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination and any private placement warrants issued to the Sponsor, its Affiliates or Management (as defined below) upon conversion of working capital and extension loans made to the Company and any Class A Shares issued to our Sponsor upon conversion of the overfunding loans.

17.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the foregoing adjustment to the Initial Conversion Ratio may be waived as to any particular issuance or deemed issuance of additional Class A Shares or Equity-linked Securities by the written consent or agreement of holders of a majority of the Class B Shares then in issue consenting or agreeing separately as a separate class in the manner provided in the Variation of Rights of Shares Article hereof.

 

17.5 The foregoing conversion ratio shall also be adjusted to account for any subdivision (by share subdivision, exchange, capitalisation, rights issue, reclassification, recapitalisation or otherwise) or combination (by share consolidation, exchange, reclassification, recapitalisation or otherwise) or similar reclassification or recapitalisation of the Class A Shares in issue into a greater or lesser number of shares occurring after the original filing of the Articles without a proportionate and corresponding subdivision, combination or similar reclassification or recapitalisation of the Class B Shares in issue.

 

17.6 Each Class B Share shall convert into its pro rata number of Class A Shares pursuant to this Article. The pro rata share for each holder of Class B Shares will be determined as follows: each Class B Share shall convert into such number of Class A Shares as is equal to the product of 1 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of Class A Shares into which all of the Class B Shares in issue shall be converted pursuant to this Article and the denominator of which shall be the total number of Class B Shares in issue at the time of conversion.

 

17.7 References in this Article to “converted”, “conversion” or “exchange” shall mean the compulsory redemption without notice of Class B Shares of any Member and, on behalf of such Members, automatic application of such redemption proceeds in paying for such new Class A Shares into which the Class B Shares have been converted or exchanged at a price per Class B Share necessary to give effect to a conversion or exchange calculated on the basis that the Class A Shares to be issued as part of the conversion or exchange will be issued at par. The Class A Shares to be issued on an exchange or conversion shall be registered in the name of such Member or in such name as the Member may direct.

 

17.8 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article, in no event may any Class B Share convert into Class A Shares at a ratio that is less than one-for-one.

 

17A Issuance of Class A Shares in connection with Conversion of Overfunding Loans

 

References in these Articles to conversion of the overfunding loan(s) shall mean the extinguishment or cancellation of the overfunding loan(s) in exchange for the issuance by the Company of Class A Shares as described in the prospectus relating to the IPO.

Each person so authorised under the provisions of this Article shall be deemed to have been duly authorised without further evidence of the facts and be entitled to exercise the same rights and powers on behalf of the Clearing House (or its nominee(s)) as if such person was the registered holder of such Shares held by the Clearing House (or its nominee(s)).

The Class I Directors shall stand appointed for a term expiring at the Company’s first annual general meeting, the Class II Directors shall stand appointed for a term expiring at the Company’s second annual general meeting and the Class III Directors shall stand appointed for a term expiring at the Company’s third annual general meeting. Commencing at the Company’s first annual general meeting, and at each annual general meeting thereafter, Directors appointed to succeed those Directors whose terms expire shall be appointed for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual general meeting after their appointment. Except as the Statute or other Applicable Law may otherwise require, in the interim between annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings called for the appointment of Directors and/or the removal of one or more Directors and the filling of any vacancy in that connection, additional Directors and any vacancies in the board of Directors, including unfilled vacancies resulting from the removal of Directors for cause, may be filled by the vote of a majority of the remaining Directors then in office, although less than a quorum (as defined in the Articles), or by the sole remaining Director. All Directors shall hold office until the expiration of their respective terms of office and until their successors shall have been appointed and qualified. A Director appointed to fill a vacancy resulting from the death, resignation or removal of a Director shall serve for the remainder of the full term of the Director whose death, resignation or removal shall have created such vacancy and until their successor shall have been appointed and qualified.

 

28 Powers of Directors

 

28.1 Subject to the provisions of the Statute, the Memorandum and the Articles and to any directions given by Special Resolution, the business of the Company shall be managed by the Directors who may exercise all the powers of the Company. No alteration of the Memorandum or Articles and no such direction shall invalidate any prior act of the Directors which would have been valid if that alteration had not been made or that direction had not been given. A duly convened meeting of Directors at which a quorum is present may exercise all powers exercisable by the Directors.

31 Proceedings of Directors

 

31.1 The quorum for the transaction of the business of the Directors may be fixed by the Directors, and unless so fixed shall be a majority of the Directors then in office.

 

31.2 Subject to the provisions of the Articles, the Directors may regulate their proceedings as they think fit. Questions arising at any meeting shall be decided by a majority of votes. In the case of an equality of votes, the chairperson shall have a second or casting vote.

 

31.3 A person may participate in a meeting of the Directors or any committee of Directors by conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all the persons participating in the meeting can communicate with each other at the same time. Participation by a person in a meeting in this manner is treated as presence in person at that meeting. Unless otherwise determined by the Directors, the meeting shall be deemed to be held at the place where the chairperson is located at the start of the meeting.

 

31.4 A resolution in writing (in one or more counterparts) signed by all the Directors or all the members of a committee of the Directors or, in the case of a resolution in writing relating to the removal of any Director or the vacation of office by any Director, all of the Directors other than the Director who is the subject of such resolution shall be as valid and effectual as if it had been passed at a meeting of the Directors, or committee of Directors as the case may be, duly convened and held.

 

31.5 A Director may, or other Officer on the direction of a Director shall, call a meeting of the Directors by at least two days’ notice in writing to every Director which notice shall set forth the general nature of the business to be considered unless notice is waived by all the Directors either at, before or after the meeting is held. To any such notice of a meeting of the Directors all the provisions of the Articles relating to the giving of notices by the Company to the Members shall apply mutatis mutandis.

 

31.6 The continuing Directors (or a sole continuing Director, as the case may be) may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their body, but if and so long as their number is reduced below the number fixed by or pursuant to the Articles as the necessary quorum of Directors the continuing Directors or Director may act for the purpose of increasing the number of Directors to be equal to such fixed number, or of summoning a general meeting of the Company, but for no other purpose.

 

31.7 The Directors may elect a chairperson of their board and determine the period for which they are to hold office; but if no such chairperson is elected, or if at any meeting the chairperson is not present within five minutes after the time appointed for the meeting to commence, the Directors present may choose one of their number to be chairperson of the meeting.

 

31.8 All acts done by any meeting of the Directors or of a committee of the Directors shall, notwithstanding that it is afterwards discovered that there was some defect in the appointment of any Director, and/or that they or any of them were disqualified, and/or had vacated their office and/or were not entitled to vote, be as valid as if every such person had been duly appointed and/or not disqualified to be a Director and/or had not vacated their office and/or had been entitled to vote, as the case may be.

31.9 A Director may be represented at any meetings of the board of Directors by a proxy appointed in writing by that Director. The proxy shall count towards the quorum and the vote of the proxy shall for all purposes be deemed to be that of the appointing Director.

 

32 Presumption of Assent

 

A Director who is present at a meeting of the board of Directors at which action on any Company matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless their dissent shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless they shall file their written dissent from such action with the person acting as the chairperson or secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or shall forward such dissent by registered post to such person immediately after the adjournment of the meeting. Such right to dissent shall not apply to a Director who voted in favour of such action.

 

33 Directors’ Interests

 

33.1 A Director may hold any other office or place of profit under the Company (other than the office of Auditor) in conjunction with their office of Director for such period and on such terms as to remuneration and otherwise as the Directors may determine.

33.3 A Director may be or become a director or other officer of or otherwise interested in any company promoted by the Company or in which the Company may be interested as a shareholder, a contracting party or otherwise, and no such Director shall be accountable to the Company for any remuneration or other benefits received by them as a director or officer of, or from their interest in, such other company.

 

33.4 No person shall be disqualified from the office of Director or prevented by such office from contracting with the Company, either as vendor, purchaser or otherwise, nor shall any such contract or any contract or transaction entered into by or on behalf of the Company in which any Director shall be in any way interested be or be liable to be avoided, nor shall any Director so contracting or being so interested be liable to account to the Company for any profit realised by or arising in connection with any such contract or transaction by reason of such Director holding office or of the fiduciary relationship thereby established. A Director shall be at liberty to vote in respect of any contract or transaction in which they are interested provided that the nature of the interest of any Director in any such contract or transaction shall be disclosed by them at or prior to its consideration and any vote thereon.

 

33.5 A general notice that a Director is a shareholder, director, officer or employee of any specified firm or company and is to be regarded as interested in any transaction with such firm or company shall be sufficient disclosure for the purposes of voting on a resolution in respect of a contract or transaction in which they have an interest, and after such general notice it shall not be necessary to give special notice relating to any particular transaction.

An Officer may vacate their office at any time if they give notice in writing to the Company that they resign their office.

 

36 No Minimum Shareholding

 

The Company in general meeting may fix a minimum shareholding required to be held by a Director, but unless and until such a shareholding qualification is fixed a Director is not required to hold Shares.

 

37 Remuneration of Directors

 

37.1 The remuneration to be paid to the Directors, if any, shall be such remuneration as the Directors shall determine, provided that no cash remuneration shall be paid to any Director by the Company prior to the consummation of a Business Combination. The Directors shall also, whether prior to or after the consummation of a Business Combination, be entitled to be paid all travelling, hotel and other expenses properly incurred by them in connection with their attendance at meetings of Directors or committees of Directors, or general meetings of the Company, or separate meetings of the holders of any class of Shares or debentures of the Company, or otherwise in connection with the business of the Company or the discharge of their duties as a Director, or to receive a fixed allowance in respect thereof as may be determined by the Directors, or a combination partly of one such method and partly the other.

39 Dividends, Distributions and Reserve

 

39.1 Subject to the Statute and this Article and except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to any Shares, the Directors may resolve to pay Dividends and other distributions on Shares in issue and authorise payment of the Dividends or other distributions out of the funds of the Company lawfully available therefor. A Dividend shall be deemed to be an interim Dividend unless the terms of the resolution pursuant to which the Directors resolve to pay such Dividend specifically state that such Dividend shall be a final Dividend. No Dividend or other distribution shall be paid except out of the realised or unrealised profits of the Company, out of the share premium account or as otherwise permitted by law.

 

39.2 Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to any Shares, all Dividends and other distributions shall be paid according to the par value of the Shares that a Member holds. If any Share is issued on terms providing that it shall rank for Dividend as from a particular date, that Share shall rank for Dividend accordingly.

 

39.3 The Directors may deduct from any Dividend or other distribution payable to any Member all sums of money (if any) then payable by the Member to the Company on account of calls or otherwise.

 

39.4 The Directors may resolve that any Dividend or other distribution be paid wholly or partly by the distribution of specific assets and in particular (but without limitation) by the distribution of shares, debentures, or securities of any other company or in any one or more of such ways and where any difficulty arises in regard to such distribution, the Directors may settle the same as they think expedient and in particular may issue fractional Shares and may fix the value for distribution of such specific assets or any part thereof and may determine that cash payments shall be made to any Members upon the basis of the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of all Members and may vest any such specific assets in trustees in such manner as may seem expedient to the Directors.

 

39.5 Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to any Shares, Dividends and other distributions may be paid in any currency. The Directors may determine the basis of conversion for any currency conversions that may be required and how any costs involved are to be met.

 

39.6 The Directors may, before resolving to pay any Dividend or other distribution, set aside such sums as they think proper as a reserve or reserves which shall, at the discretion of the Directors, be applicable for any purpose of the Company and pending such application may, at the discretion of the Directors, be employed in the business of the Company.

 

39.7 Any Dividend, other distribution, interest or other monies payable in cash in respect of Shares may be paid by wire transfer to the holder or by cheque or warrant sent through the post directed to the registered address of the holder or, in the case of joint holders, to the registered address of the holder who is first named on the Register of Members or to such person and to such address as such holder or joint holders may in writing direct. Every such cheque or warrant shall be made payable to the order of the person to whom it is sent. Any one of two or more joint holders may give effectual receipts for any Dividends, other distributions, bonuses, or other monies payable in respect of the Share held by them as joint holders.

39.8 No Dividend or other distribution shall bear interest against the Company.

 

39.9 Any Dividend or other distribution which cannot be paid to a Member and/or which remains unclaimed after six months from the date on which such Dividend or other distribution becomes payable may, in the discretion of the Directors, be paid into a separate account in the Company’s name, provided that the Company shall not be constituted as a trustee in respect of that account and the Dividend or other distribution shall remain as a debt due to the Member. Any Dividend or other distribution which remains unclaimed after a period of six years from the date on which such Dividend or other distribution becomes payable shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Company.

 

40 Capitalisation

 

The Directors may at any time capitalise any sum standing to the credit of any of the Company’s reserve accounts or funds (including the share premium account and capital redemption reserve fund) or any sum standing to the credit of the profit and loss account or otherwise available for distribution; appropriate such sum to Members in the proportions in which such sum would have been divisible amongst such Members had the same been a distribution of profits by way of Dividend or other distribution; and apply such sum on their behalf in paying up in full unissued Shares for allotment and distribution credited as fully paid-up to and amongst them in the proportion aforesaid. In such event the Directors shall do all acts and things required to give effect to such capitalisation, with full power given to the Directors to make such provisions as they think fit in the case of Shares becoming distributable in fractions (including provisions whereby the benefit of fractional entitlements accrue to the Company rather than to the Members concerned). The Directors may authorise any person to enter on behalf of all of the Members interested into an agreement with the Company providing for such capitalisation and matters incidental or relating thereto and any agreement made under such authority shall be effective and binding on all such Members and the Company.

 

41 Books of Account

 

41.1 The Directors shall cause proper books of account (including, where applicable, material underlying documentation including contracts and invoices) to be kept with respect to all sums of money received and expended by the Company and the matters in respect of which the receipt or expenditure takes place, all sales and purchases of goods by the Company and the assets and liabilities of the Company. Such books of account must be retained for a minimum period of five years from the date on which they are prepared. Proper books shall not be deemed to be kept if there are not kept such books of account as are necessary to give a true and fair view of the state of the Company’s affairs and to explain its transactions.

 

41.2 The Directors shall determine whether and to what extent and at what times and places and under what conditions or regulations the accounts and books of the Company or any of them shall be open to the inspection of Members not being Directors and no Member (not being a Director) shall have any right of inspecting any account or book or document of the Company except as conferred by Statute or authorised by the Directors or by the Company in general meeting.

The composition and responsibilities of the Audit Committee shall comply with the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law.

 

42.3 If the Shares (or depositary receipts therefor) are listed or quoted on the Designated Stock Exchange, the Company shall conduct an appropriate review of all related party transactions on an ongoing basis and shall utilise the Audit Committee for the review and approval of potential conflicts of interest.

 

42.4 The remuneration of the Auditor shall be fixed by the Audit Committee (if one exists).

 

42.5 If the office of Auditor becomes vacant by resignation or death of the Auditor, or by their becoming incapable of acting by reason of illness or other disability at a time when their services are required, the Directors shall fill the vacancy and determine the remuneration of such Auditor.

 

42.6 Every Auditor of the Company shall have a right of access at all times to the books and accounts and vouchers of the Company and shall be entitled to require from the Directors and Officers such information and explanation as may be necessary for the performance of the duties of the Auditor.

 

42.7 Auditors shall, if so required by the Directors, make a report on the accounts of the Company during their tenure of office at the next annual general meeting following their appointment in the case of a company which is registered with the Registrar of Companies as an ordinary company, and at the next extraordinary general meeting following their appointment in the case of a company which is registered with the Registrar of Companies as an exempted company, and at any other time during their term of office, upon request of the Directors or any general meeting of the Members.

 

42.8 Any payment made to members of the Audit Committee (if one exists) shall require the review and approval of the Directors, with any Director interested in such payment abstaining from such review and approval.

 

42.9 The Audit Committee shall monitor compliance with the terms of the IPO and, if any non-compliance is identified, the Audit Committee shall be charged with the responsibility to take all action necessary to rectify such non-compliance or otherwise cause compliance with the terms of the IPO.

43.4 Notice of every general meeting shall be given in any manner authorised by the Articles to every holder of Shares carrying an entitlement to receive such notice on the record date for such meeting except that in the case of joint holders the notice shall be sufficient if given to the joint holder first named in the Register of Members and every person upon whom the ownership of a Share devolves because they are a legal personal representative or a trustee in bankruptcy of a Member where the Member but for their death or bankruptcy would be entitled to receive notice of the meeting, and no other person shall be entitled to receive notices of general meetings.

 

44 Winding Up

 

44.1 If the Company shall be wound up, the liquidator shall apply the assets of the Company in satisfaction of creditors’ claims in such manner and order as such liquidator thinks fit. Subject to the rights attaching to any Shares, in a winding up:

 

  (a) if the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be insufficient to repay the whole of the Company’s issued share capital, such assets shall be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses shall be borne by the Members in proportion to the par value of the Shares held by them; or

 

  (b) if the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the Company’s issued share capital at the commencement of the winding up, the surplus shall be distributed amongst the Members in proportion to the par value of the Shares held by them at the commencement of the winding up subject to a deduction from those Shares in respect of which there are monies due, of all monies payable to the Company for unpaid calls or otherwise.

 

44.2 If the Company shall be wound up the liquidator may, subject to the rights attaching to any Shares and with the approval of a Special Resolution of the Company and any other approval required by the Statute, divide amongst the Members in kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether such assets shall consist of property of the same kind or not) and may for that purpose value any assets and determine how the division shall be carried out as between the Members or different classes of Members. The liquidator may, with the like approval, vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the Members as the liquidator, with the like approval, shall think fit, but so that no Member shall be compelled to accept any asset upon which there is a liability.

 

45 Indemnity and Insurance

 

45.1 Every Director and Officer (which for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include auditors of the Company), together with every former Director and former Officer (each an “Indemnified Person”) shall be indemnified out of the assets of the Company against any liability, action, proceeding, claim, demand, costs, damages or expenses, including legal expenses, whatsoever which they or any of them may incur as a result of any act or failure to act in carrying out their functions other than such liability (if any) that they may incur by reason of their own actual fraud, wilful neglect or wilful default. No Indemnified Person shall be liable to the Company for any loss or damage incurred by the Company as a result (whether direct or indirect) of the carrying out of their functions unless that liability arises through the actual fraud, wilful neglect or wilful default of such Indemnified Person. No person shall be found to have committed actual fraud, wilful neglect or wilful default under this Article unless or until a court of competent jurisdiction shall have made a finding to that effect.

45.2 The Company shall advance to each Indemnified Person reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the defence of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation involving such Indemnified Person for which indemnity will or could be sought. In connection with any advance of any expenses hereunder, the Indemnified Person shall execute an undertaking to repay the advanced amount to the Company if it shall be determined by final judgment or other final adjudication that such Indemnified Person was not entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article. If it shall be determined by a final judgment or other final adjudication that such Indemnified Person was not entitled to indemnification with respect to such judgment, costs or expenses, then such party shall not be indemnified with respect to such judgment, costs or expenses and any advancement shall be returned to the Company (without interest) by the Indemnified Person.

 

45.3 The Directors, on behalf of the Company, may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any Director or Officer against any liability which, by virtue of any rule of law, would otherwise attach to such person in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which such person may be guilty in relation to the Company.

  (a) submit such Business Combination to its Members for approval; or

 

  (b) provide Members with the opportunity to have their Shares repurchased by means of a tender offer for a per-Share repurchase price payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of such Business Combination, including interest earned on the Trust Account (net of taxes paid or payable, if any), divided by the number of then issued Public Shares. Such obligation to repurchase Shares is subject to the completion of the proposed Business Combination to which it relates.

 

49.3 If the Company initiates any tender offer in accordance with Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act in connection with a proposed Business Combination, it shall file tender offer documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to completing such Business Combination which contain substantially the same financial and other information about such Business Combination and the redemption rights as is required under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act. If, alternatively, the Company holds a general meeting to approve a proposed Business Combination, the Company will conduct any redemptions in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, and not pursuant to the tender offer rules, and file proxy materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

49.4 At a general meeting called for the purposes of approving a Business Combination pursuant to this Article, in the event that such Business Combination is approved by Ordinary Resolution, the Company shall be authorised to consummate such Business Combination.

 

49.5 Any Member holding Public Shares who is not the Sponsor, a Founder, Officer or Director may, at least two business days prior to any vote on a Business Combination, elect to have their Public Shares redeemed for cash, in accordance with any applicable requirements provided for in the related proxy materials (the “IPO Redemption”), provided that no such Member acting together with any Affiliate of their or any other person with whom they are acting in concert or as a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate, or other group for the purposes of acquiring, holding, or disposing of Shares may exercise this redemption right with respect to more than 15% of the Public Shares in the aggregate without the prior consent of the Company and provided further that any beneficial holder of Public Shares on whose behalf a redemption right is being exercised must identify itself to the Company in connection with any redemption election in order to validly redeem such Public Shares. If so demanded, the Company shall pay any such redeeming Member, regardless of whether they are voting for or against such proposed Business Combination, a per-Share redemption price payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the Trust Account (net of taxes paid or payable, if any), divided by the number of then issued Public Shares (such redemption price being referred to herein as the “Redemption Price”), but only in the event that the applicable proposed Business Combination is approved and in connection with its consummation.

 

49.6 A Member may not withdraw a Redemption Notice once submitted to the Company unless the Directors determine (in their sole discretion) to permit the withdrawal of such redemption request (which they may do in whole or in part).

49.7 In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination within 18 months from the consummation of the IPO (or up to 24 months if such date is extended as described in the prospectus relating to the IPO), or such later time as the Members may approve in accordance with the Articles, the Company shall:

 

  (a) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up;

 

  (b) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-Share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (net of taxes paid or payable, if any and up to US$100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then Public Shares in issue, which redemption will completely extinguish public Members’ rights as Members (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and

 

  (c) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining Members and the Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of Applicable Law.

 

49.8 In the event that any amendment is made to the Articles:

 

  (a) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with a Business Combination or redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not consummate a Business Combination within 18 months from the consummation of the IPO (or up to 24 months if such date is extended as described in the prospectus relating to the IPO), or such later time as the Members may approve in accordance with the Articles; or

 

(b)with respect to any other provision relating to rights of holders of the Class A Shares, each holder of Public Shares who is not the Sponsor, a Founder, Officer or Director shall be provided with the opportunity up to two business days prior to the vote on such amendment to redeem their Public Shares subject to the approval or effectiveness of any such amendment at a per-Share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (net of taxes paid or payable, if any), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares.

 

49.9 A holder of Public Shares shall be entitled to receive distributions from the Trust Account only in the event of an IPO Redemption, a repurchase of Shares by means of a tender offer pursuant to this Article, or a distribution of the Trust Account pursuant to this Article. In no other circumstance shall a holder of Public Shares have any right or interest of any kind in the Trust Account.

 

49.10 After the issue of Public Shares, and prior to the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company shall not issue additional Shares or any other securities that would entitle the holders thereof to:

 

  (a) receive funds from the Trust Account; or

 

  (b) vote as a class with Public Shares on a Business Combination.

49.11 A Director may vote in respect of a Business Combination in which such Director has a conflict of interest with respect to the evaluation of such Business Combination. Such Director must disclose such interest or conflict to the other Directors.

 

49.12 As long as the securities of the Company are listed on the Nasdaq Global Market, the Company must complete one or more Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions held in trust and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the Company’s signing a definitive agreement in connection with a Business Combination. A Business Combination must not be effectuated with another blank cheque company or a similar company with nominal operations.

 

49.13 The Company may enter into a Business Combination with a target business that is Affiliated with the Sponsor, a Founder, a Director or an Officer. In the event the Company seeks to consummate a Business Combination with a target that is Affiliated with the Sponsor, a Founder, a Director or an Officer, the Company, or a committee of Independent Directors, will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions that such a Business Combination is fair to the Members from a financial point of view.

 

50 Certain Tax Filings

 

Each Tax Filing Authorised Person and any such other person, acting alone, as any Director shall designate from time to time, are authorised to file tax forms SS-4, W-8 BEN, W-8 IMY, W-9, 8832 and 2553 and such other similar tax forms as are customary to file with any US state or federal governmental authorities or foreign governmental authorities in connection with the formation, activities and/or elections of the Company and such other tax forms as may be approved from time to time by any Director or Officer. The Company further ratifies and approves any such filing made by any Tax Filing Authorised Person or such other person prior to the date of the Articles.

 

51 Business Opportunities

 

51.1 To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, no individual serving as a Director or an Officer (“Management”) shall have any duty, except and to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Company renounces any interest or expectancy of the Company in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for Management, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other. Except to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Management shall have no duty to communicate or offer any such corporate opportunity to the Company and shall not be liable to the Company or its Members for breach of any fiduciary duty as a Member, Director and/or Officer solely by reason of the fact that such party pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself or themself, directs such corporate opportunity to another person, or does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Company.

51.3 To the extent a court might hold that the conduct of any activity related to a corporate opportunity that is renounced in this Article to be a breach of duty to the Company or its Members, the Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any and all claims and causes of action that the Company may have for such activities. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the provisions of this Article apply equally to activities conducted in the future and that have been conducted in the past.

Note 1—Description of Organization, Business Operations, Liquidity and Basis of Presentation

 

SK Growth Opportunities Corporation (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in Cayman Islands on December 8, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. The Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

 

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from December 8, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2024, relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) described below, and since the Initial Public Offering, its search for a Business Combination (as defined below). The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds held in the Trust Account (as defined below).

 

The Company’s sponsor is Auxo Capital Managers LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on June 23, 2022. On June 28, 2022, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $12.0 million, of which $7.0 million was for deferred underwriting commissions (see Note 5). The underwriter was granted a 45-day option from the date of the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at $10.00 per Unit (the “Over-Allotment Option”). On July 20, 2022, pursuant to the underwriter’s notice of the partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, the Company sold an additional 960,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating aggregate additional gross proceeds of $9.6 million to the Company (the “Partial Over-Allotment Exercise”). On August 9, 2022, following the expiration of the remaining Over-Allotment Option, the Sponsor forfeited 510,000 Founder Shares (as defined in Note 4).

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 6,600,000 warrants of the Company (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”), at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating proceeds of $6.6 million (see Note 4). Substantially concurrently with the closing of the Partial Over-Allotment Exercise, the Company completed the sale of 192,000 additional Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor (the “Additional Private Placement”) at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $192,000.

 

In addition, upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering on June 28, 2022, the Sponsor provided the Company with the First Overfunding Loan (as defined in Note 4) in the amount of $5.0 million to deposit in the Trust Account at no interest. In connection with the Partial Over-Allotment Exercise on July 20, 2022, the Sponsor provided the Company with the Second Overfunding Loan (as defined in Note 4) in the amount of $240,000 to deposit in the Trust Account.

 

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Partial Over-Allotment Exercise, approximately $214.8 million ($10.25 per Unit) of net proceeds, including the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, the Partial Over-Allotment Exercise the proceeds of the Overfunding Loans and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement and the Additional Private Placement, was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and invested only in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”) having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

 

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, the sale of Private Placement Warrants and the proceeds from the Overfunding Loan, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the amount of deferred underwriting discounts held in Trust and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company only intends to complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

 

The Company will provide the holders of the Company’s Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholders meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then held in the Trust Account (initially at $10.25 per Public Share). The per-share amount to be distributed to Public Shareholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriter (as discussed in Note 5).

 

The Public Shares are recognized at redemption value and classified as temporary equity, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”). The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Articles of Association”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem the Public Shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the initial shareholders (as defined below) agreed to vote their Founder Shares and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination. In addition, the initial shareholders agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination.

 

The Articles of Association provides that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares included in the Units issued in the Company’s Initial Public Offering, without the prior consent of the Company. The holders of the Founder Shares (the “initial shareholders”) agreed not to propose an amendment to the Articles of Association (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with a Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

 

On December 27, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “First Extension Meeting”), to (i) amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Memorandum and Articles of Association”) to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from December 28, 2023 to September 30, 2024 (or March 31, 2025) as the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) may approve in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association (such amendment, the “First Articles Amendment” and such proposal, the “First Extension Amendment Proposal”), (ii) amend the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated June 23, 2022, by and between the Company and Continental, to extend the date on which Continental must liquidate the Trust Account if the Company has not completed its initial business combination, from December 28, 2023 to September 30, 2024 (or March 31, 2025) as the Board may approve (the “First Trust Amendment Proposal”). The First Extension Amendment Proposal and the First Trust Amendment Proposal were approved. In connection with the vote to approve the First Articles Amendment, the holders of 10,903,403 Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.88 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $118,642,864.

 

On September 27, 2024, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Second Extension Meeting”), to (i) amend the Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from September 30, 2024 to March 31, 2025 (such amendment, the “Second Articles Amendment” and such proposal, the “Second Extension Amendment Proposal”), (ii) amend the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated June 23, 2022, by and between the Company and Continental, to extend the date on which Continental must liquidate the Trust Account if the Company has not completed its initial business combination, from September 30, 2024 to March 31, 2025 (the “Second Trust Amendment Proposal”). The Sponsor has agreed that if the Second Extension Amendment Proposal is approved and implemented, it or its designee will contribute to the Company, as a loan, $0.03 for each Public Share that is not redeemed in connection with the Second Extension Amendment Proposal for each calendar month (commencing on October 1, 2024 and on the 1st day of each subsequent month) until March 31, 2025, or portion thereof, that is needed to complete the Business Combination. The Second Extension Amendment Proposal and the Second Trust Amendment Proposal were approved. In connection with the vote to approve the Second Articles Amendment, the holders of 323,637 Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $11.32 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $3,663,464.

 

If the Company is unable to consummate an initial Business Combination prior to March 31, 2025 (such period, the “Combination Period”), the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

 

The initial shareholders agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the initial shareholders acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriter agreed to waive its rights to the deferred underwriting commission (see Note 5) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within in the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.25. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (except for the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement (a “Target”), reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.25 per Public Share or (ii) the lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or Target that executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriter of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

 

Going Concern Consideration

 

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $621,449 in cash and working capital deficit of approximately $6.8 million.

 

The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering were satisfied through the payment of $25,000 from the Sponsor to purchase Founder Shares, and loan proceeds from the Sponsor of $300,000 under the Note (as defined in Note 4). The Company repaid the Note in full upon closing of the Initial Public Offering. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s liquidity has been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement held outside of the Trust Account. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, members of the Company’s founding team or any of their affiliates may provide the Company with Working Capital Loans (as defined in Note 4) as may be required (of which up to $1.5 million may be converted at the lender’s option into warrants).

 

On October 30, 2023, the Sponsor loaned the Company $380,000 and the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the total principal amount of up to $380,000 to the Sponsor.

 

On March 1, 2024, the Company issued an unsecured convertible promissory note in the total principal amount of up to $900,000 (the “First Sponsor Note”) to Sponsor. The First Sponsor Note does not bear interest on the unpaid principal balance and matures upon closing of the Company’s initial business combination. In the event that the Company does not consummate an initial business combination, the First Sponsor Note will be repaid solely to the extent that the Company has funds available to it, if any, outside of its trust account established in connection with its initial public offering of its securities. The proceeds of the First Sponsor Note will be used to fund ongoing operating expenses of the Company. The total principal amount of the First Sponsor Note may be converted, in whole or in part, at the option of the Sponsor, (i) into warrants of the Company at a price of $1.00 per warrant, with each warrant exercisable for one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Class A Ordinary Share”), or (ii) into Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the amount of accrued and outstanding of the promissory note, by (ii) $10.00. The warrants will be identical to the private placement warrants issued to the Sponsor at the time of the initial public offering of the Company.

 

On September 27, 2024, the Company issued an unsecured convertible promissory note in the total principal amount of up to $440,000 (the “Second Sponsor Note,” and collectively with the First Sponsor Note, the “Sponsor Note”) to Sponsor. The Second Sponsor Note does not bear interest on the unpaid principal balance and matures upon closing of the Company’s initial business combination. In the event that the Company does not consummate an initial business combination, the Second Sponsor Note will be repaid solely to the extent that the Company has funds available to it, if any, outside of its trust account established in connection with its initial public offering of its securities. The proceeds of the Second Sponsor Note will be used to fund ongoing operating expenses of the Company. The total principal amount of the Second Sponsor Note may be converted, in whole or in part, at the option of the Sponsor, (i) into warrants of the Company at a price of $1.00 per warrant, with each warrant exercisable for one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Class A Ordinary Share”), or (ii) into Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the amount of accrued and outstanding of the promissory note, by (ii) $10.00. The warrants will be identical to the private placement warrants issued to the Sponsor at the time of the initial public offering of the Company.

 

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2024, the Company has $1,720,000 and $380,000 in borrowings under the Sponsor Note, respectively.

 

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern,” the Company has until March 31, 2025, to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time, and if a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, then there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company.

 

Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Management plans to address this uncertainty through the initial Business Combination as discussed above. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate the initial Business Combination will be successful or successful within the Combination Period. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

United States and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and the recent escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict. In response to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) deployed additional military forces to eastern Europe, and the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have announced various sanctions and restrictive actions against Russia, Belarus and related individuals and entities, including the removal of certain financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) payment system. Certain countries, including the United States, have also provided and may continue to provide military aid or other assistance to Ukraine and to Israel, increasing geopolitical tensions among a number of nations. The Russia-Ukraine conflict and the escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict and the resulting measures that have been taken, and could be taken in the future, by NATO, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Israel and its neighboring states and other countries have created global security concerns that could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies. Although the length and impact of the ongoing conflicts are highly unpredictable, they could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions and increased cyberattacks against U.S. companies. Additionally, any resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures included in the annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these unaudited condensed financial statements as they are not required for interim financial statements under GAAP and the rules of the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) considered for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or any future period.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 29, 2024, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statement, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

Investments Held in the Trust Account

 

The Company’s portfolio of investments is comprised of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of money market funds, the investments are recognized at fair value. Trading securities and investments in money market funds are presented on the unaudited condensed balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities are included in income from investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the assets held in the Trust Account were in money market funds.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the unaudited condensed balance sheets.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

 

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

 

Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

 

Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company evaluates its financial instruments, including equity-linked financial instruments, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). For freestanding derivative financial instruments that are classified as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recognized at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in the unaudited condensed statements of operations each reporting period. The classification of freestanding derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be classified as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period.

 

The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt instruments to determine whether the embedded conversion and other features should be bifurcated from the debt host instrument and accounted for as a derivative in accordance with ASC 815.

 

The Company accounted for the warrants issued in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815. Application of such guidance provides that the warrants are not precluded from equity classification. The warrants were initially measured at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value are not recognized as long as the contracts continue to be classified in equity.

 

The Partial Over-allotment option was recognized as a derivative liability in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, the Company recognized the instrument as a liability at fair value and adjusted the instrument to fair value at each reporting period. On August 9, 2022, following the expiration of the remaining Over-Allotment Option, the Sponsor forfeited 510,000 Founder Shares and the derivative liability was extinguished.

 

The Non-Redemption Agreements were recognized as a derivative instrument in accordance with ASC 815. The Non-Redemption Agreements represent a right to receive shares in the future contingent upon the consummation of a business combination. Accordingly, any issuance of equity or the right to issue equity will be recorded as an equity transaction and classified as additional paid-in capital and an expense to the company in connection to the non-redeemed shares. The right to receive shares should be fair valued at inception and expensed in the period the agreement was entered into. As a result of the equity classification conclusion will not be remeasured to fair valued at each reporting period.

 

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

 

Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting and advisory fees and other costs incurred through the condensed balance sheet date that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Upon completion of the Initial Public Offering, offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs allocated to the warrants were charged to equity. Offering costs allocated to the Class A ordinary shares were charged against the carrying value of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

 

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

 

The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A 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) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A 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, as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 9,732,960 and 10,056,597 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, respectively, are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s unaudited condensed balance sheets.

 

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. This method would view the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption date for the security. Effective with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount, which resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.

 

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the amount of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reflected on the unaudited condensed balance sheets is reconciled in the following table:

 

Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, December 31, 2022   217,545,818

Net Income per Ordinary Share

 

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has 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 computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the periods. Remeasurement associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from net income per ordinary share as the redemption value approximates fair value. Therefore, the net income per ordinary share calculation allocates income shared pro rata between Class A and Class B ordinary shares. The Company has not considered the effect of the exercise of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 17,272,000 shares in the calculation of diluted income per ordinary share, since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. 

 

The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income per ordinary share (in dollars, except per share amounts):

Stock Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation expense in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date and recognized over the requisite service period. To the extent a stock-based award is subject to a performance condition, the amount of expense recorded in a given period, if any, reflects an assessment of the probability of achieving such performance condition, with compensation recognized once the event is deemed probable to occur. Forfeitures are recognized as incurred.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income Taxes FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties.

 

The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with the Cayman Islands’ income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

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

Initial Public Offering

Note 3—Initial Public Offering

 

On June 28, 2022, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $12.0 million, of which $7.0 million was for deferred underwriting commissions.

 

The underwriter was granted the Over-Allotment Option to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at $10.00 per Unit. On July 20, 2022, pursuant to the underwriter’s notice of the partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, the Company sold an additional 960,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating aggregate additional gross proceeds of $9.6 million to the Company and incurring deferred underwriting commissions of $336,000. The remaining Over-Allotment Option expired on August 7, 2022. On August 9, 2022, following the expiration of the remaining Over-Allotment Option, the Sponsor forfeited 510,000 Founder Shares (as defined in Note 4).

 

Each Unit consists of one share of Class A ordinary shares, and one-half of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”). Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A ordinary shares at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 6).

Founder Shares

 

On December 9, 2021, the sponsor purchased 8,625,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 (the “Founder Shares”), to cover certain expenses on the Company’s behalf for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. On February 24, 2022, 1,437,500 Class B ordinary shares were surrendered and thereupon cancelled by the Company. On May 5, 2022, 1,437,500 Class B ordinary shares were surrendered and thereupon cancelled by the Company resulting in a decrease in the total number of Class B ordinary shares outstanding to 5,750,000 shares. The Sponsor agreed to forfeit up to an aggregate of 750,000 Founder Shares to the extent that the option to purchase additional Units is not exercised in full by the underwriter or is reduced, so that the Founder Shares would represent 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares upon the Initial Public Offering. On July 20, 2022, the Company sold an additional 960,000 Units in the Partial Over-Allotment Exercise pursuant to the underwriter’s notice of the partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. On August 9, 2022, following the expiration of the remaining Over-Allotment Option, the Sponsor forfeited 510,000 Founder Shares.

 

The initial shareholders, and the executive officers and directors of the Company, agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (i) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination; and (ii) subsequent to the initial Business Combination (x) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property or (y) if the closing price of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the initial shareholders with respect to any Founder Shares.

 

In February and March 2022, the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 90,000 Class B ordinary shares to the Company’s independent director nominees. The sale of the Founder Shares is in the scope of ASC 718. The Founder Shares were granted subject to a performance condition (i.e., the occurrence of a Business Combination). Compensation expense related to the Founder Shares is recognized only when the performance condition is probable of occurrence under the applicable accounting literature in this circumstance. As of September 30, 2024, the Company determined that a Business Combination is not considered probable, and, therefore, no stock-based compensation expense has been recognized. Stock-based compensation will be recognized at the date a Business Combination is considered probable (i.e., upon consummation of a Business Combination) in an amount equal to the number of Founder Shares that ultimately vest multiplied times the grant date fair value per share (unless subsequently modified) less the amount initially received for the purchase of the Founder Shares.

 

Private Placement Warrants

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 6,600,000 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating proceeds of $6.6 million.

 

Substantially concurrently with the closing of the Partial Over-Allotment Exercise, the Company completed the Additional Private Placement of 192,000 additional Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $192,000.

 

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The purchasers of the Private Placement Warrants agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Warrants (except to permitted transferees) until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination.

 

Related Party Loans

 

Promissory Note to Sponsor

 

The Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 to be used for the payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note, dated on December 9, 2021 and was later amended on May 5, 2022 (the “Note”). The Note was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Company borrowed $300,000 under the Note and repaid the Note in full upon closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Note was no longer available to draw on after the consummation of the Initial Public Offering.

 

Overfunding Loans

 

On June 28, 2022, in connection with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor loaned the Company $5.0 million under a non-interest bearing loan agreement (the “First Overfunding Loan”) to deposit in the Trust Account. On July 20, 2022, in connection with the Partial Over-Allotment Exercise, the Sponsor provided the Company with the second Overfunding Loan in the amount of $240,000 to deposit in the Trust Account under the same terms (the “Second Overfunding Loan”, together, the “Overfunding Loans”). The Overfunding Loans will be repaid upon the closing of an initial Business Combination or converted into Class A ordinary shares at a conversion price of $10.00 per Class A ordinary share (or a combination of both), at the Sponsor’s discretion, provided that any such conversion may not occur until August 22, 2022. If the Company does not complete an initial Business Combination, it will not repay the Overfunding Loans from amounts held in the Trust Account, and the Trust Account proceeds will be distributed to the Public Shareholders; however, the Company may repay the Overfunding Loans if there are funds available outside the Trust Account to do so. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $5,240,000 in borrowings under the First Overfunding Loan.

 

Working Capital Loans

 

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

 

Promissory Notes

 

On October 30, 2023, the Sponsor loaned the Company $380,000 and the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the total principal amount of up to $380,000 to the Sponsor, which does not bear interest on the unpaid principal balance and matures upon closing of the company’s initial business combination and shall be convertible at the election of the sponsor into warrants exercisable for one Class A ordinary share of the post-business combination company at a price of $1.00 per warrant.

 

On March 1, 2024, the Company issued an unsecured convertible promissory note in the total principal amount of up to $900,000 (the “First Sponsor Note”) to Sponsor. The First Sponsor Note does not bear interest on the unpaid principal balance and matures upon closing of the Company’s initial business combination. In the event that the Company does not consummate an initial business combination, the First Sponsor Note will be repaid solely to the extent that the Company has funds available to it, if any, outside of its trust account established in connection with its initial public offering of its securities. The proceeds of the First Sponsor Note will be used to fund ongoing operating expenses of the Company. The total principal amount of the First Sponsor Note may be converted, in whole or in part, at the option of the Sponsor, (i) into warrants of the Company at a price of $1.00 per warrant, with each warrant exercisable for one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Class A Ordinary Share”), or (ii) into Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the amount of accrued and outstanding of the promissory note, by (ii) $10.00. The warrants will be identical to the private placement warrants issued to the Sponsor at the time of the initial public offering of the Company.

 

On September 27, 2024, the Company issued an unsecured convertible promissory note in the total principal amount of up to $440,000 (the “Second Sponsor Note”) to Sponsor. The Second Sponsor Note does not bear interest on the unpaid principal balance and matures upon closing of the Company’s initial business combination. In the event that the Company does not consummate an initial business combination, the Second Sponsor Note will be repaid solely to the extent that the Company has funds available to it, if any, outside of its trust account established in connection with its initial public offering of its securities. The proceeds of the Second Sponsor Note will be used to fund ongoing operating expenses of the Company. The total principal amount of the Second Sponsor Note may be converted, in whole or in part, at the option of the Sponsor, (i) into warrants of the Company at a price of $1.00 per warrant, with each warrant exercisable for one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Class A Ordinary Share”), or (ii) into Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the amount of accrued and outstanding of the promissory note, by (ii) $10.00. The warrants will be identical to the private placement warrants issued to the Sponsor at the time of the initial public offering of the Company.

 

In the event that the Company does not consummate an initial business combination, the promissory note will be repaid solely to the extent that the Company has funds available to it, if any, outside of its trust account established in connection with its initial public offering of its securities. The proceeds of the promissory note will be used to fund ongoing operating expenses of the Company.

 

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $1,720,000 and $380,000, respectively, in borrowings under the Promissory Notes.

 

Extension Loans

 

In order to extend the time available for the Company to consummate its initial Business Combination by an additional three months each time, the Sponsor or its affiliates or designees may provide an Extension Loan to the Company to provide funds to deposit into the Trust Account an additional amount of $0.10 per share each time. The Extension Loan will be provided under the form of a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note.

 

Such Extension Loans may be converted into warrants upon the consummation of the initial business combination, at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. If the Company completes the initial Business Combination, and the lender decides not to convert the Extension Loans into warrants, the Company would repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, it will not repay such loans. The Sponsor and its affiliates or designees are not obligated to fund the Trust Account to extend the time for the Company to complete the initial Business Combination. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Extension Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $0 in borrowings under the Extension Loans.

 

Administrative Services Agreement

 

On June 23, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with an affiliate of the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay such affiliate a total of $10,000 per month for secretarial and administrative support services provided to the Company through the earlier of consummation of the initial Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation. The Company incurred $30,000 and $90,000 in such fees included as general and administrative expenses on the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, the Company fully paid for such services. The Company incurred $30,000 and $90,000 in such fees included as general and administrative expenses on the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, the Company fully paid for such services.

 

In addition, the Sponsor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on the Company’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable Business Combinations. The audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the Sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates and will determine which expenses and the amount of expenses that will be reimbursed. There is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on the Company’s behalf.

Shareholder and Registration Rights

 

Pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement entered into on June 23, 2022, the holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants, Class A ordinary shares underlying the Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and Extension Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and Extension Loans), have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of the securities held by them. These holders are entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not be required to effect or permit any registration or cause any registration statement to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

 

Underwriting and Advisory Agreement

 

The underwriter was entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $4.0 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. An additional fee of $0.35 per Unit, or approximately $7.0 million in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriter for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

 

The Company also engaged Cohen & Company Capital Markets (“CCM”) to provide consulting and advisory services to the Company in connection with the Initial Public Offering, for which it would receive (i) an advisory fee of $400,000, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, and (ii) a deferred advisory fee of $700,000 (payable solely in the event that the Company completes the initial Business Combination). The underwriter has reimbursed a portion of its fees to cover for the fees payable to CCM.

 

In connection with the consummation of the Partial Over-Allotment Exercise, the underwriter and CCM were entitled to an additional fee in the aggregate amount of $192,000, paid upfront on July 20, 2022, and $336,000 in deferred underwriting and advisory commissions (net of the reimbursement from the underwriter to cover for the fees payable to CCM).

 

On February 27, 2024, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., agreed to waive its entitlement to the payment of any underwriting discount due to it pursuant to the Underwiring Agreement in connection with the Company’s potential business combination with Webull.

 

Non-Redemption Agreements

 

In connection with the First Extension Meeting to approve the First Extension Amendment Proposal, the Company and Sponsor entered into non-redemption agreements (the “Non-Redemption Agreements”) with several unaffiliated third parties (the “Investors”), pursuant to which such third parties agreed not to redeem (or to validly rescind any redemption requests on) an aggregate of 8,530,242 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”) of the Company in connection with the First Extension Amendment Proposal. In exchange for the foregoing commitments not to redeem such Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company, (i) the Sponsor agreed to surrender to the Company and forfeit for no consideration an aggregate of 1,279,536 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Ordinary Shares” and together with the Class A Ordinary Shares, the “Ordinary Shares”) of the Company and (ii) the Company agreed to issue or cause to be issued to the Investors for no additional consideration an aggregate of 1,279,536 Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company, each in connection with the Company’s completion of its initial business combination. The Non-Redemption Agreements increased the amount of funds that remain in the Company’s Trust Account following the First Extension Meeting.

 

The Company estimated the aggregate fair value of the Class A Ordinary Shares attributable to the Investors to be $274,826 or $0.21 per share. Accordingly, in substance, it was recognized by the Company as an expense to induce these holders of the Class A shares not to redeem, with a corresponding charge to additional paid-in capital to recognize the fair value of the shares transferred as an offering cost.

 

The fair value of the Class A Ordinary Shares was based on a Monte Carlo model using the following significant inputs:

The Webull Capital Restructuring, the Mergers and each of the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or other transaction documents are collectively referred to as the “Transactions” or the “Business Combination”.

 

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, SPAC, Webull and Sponsor and certain directors (collectively, “SPAC Insiders”) have entered into a support agreement (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”), pursuant to which, each SPAC Insider agreed, among other things, (a) at any meeting of SPAC shareholders called to seek the SPAC Shareholders’ Approval or SPAC Shareholder Extension Approval (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), or in connection with any written consent of SPAC shareholders or in any other circumstances upon which a vote, consent or other approval with respect to the Business Combination Agreement and the Transactions, such SPAC Insider (i) agreed to, if a meeting is held, appear at such meeting or otherwise cause the SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares held by such SPAC Insider to be counted as present at such meeting for purposes of establishing a quorum, and (ii) vote or cause to be voted the SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares held by such SPAC Insider in favor of the SPAC Shareholders’ Approval or the SPAC Shareholder Extension Approval; and (b) subject to the exceptions set forth in the Sponsor Support Agreement, agreed to become subject to certain transfer restrictions with respect to (i) any Company Ordinary Shares held by each SPAC Insider immediately after the First Merger Effective Time (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) during a period of twelve (12) months from and after the Closing Date (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), (ii) Company Warrants or Class A Ordinary Shares underlying such warrants held by each SPAC Insiders immediately after the First Merger Effective Time until thirty (30) days after the Closing Date.

 

Sponsor also agreed to forfeit for no consideration up to 2,000,000 SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares held by Sponsor in connection with the execution of additional Non-Redemption Agreements following the date of the Business Combination Agreement. In addition, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Sponsor Support Agreement, Webull agreed to indemnify Sponsor and each other SPAC Insider for any U.S. federal (and applicable U.S. state and U.S. local) income taxes, together with any interests and penalties (the “Indemnifiable Amounts”) payable by Sponsor or the SPAC Insiders, as applicable, solely arising from or attributable to the failure of the Mergers (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or as an exchange described in Section 351 of the Code (the “Intended Tax Treatment”), provided, however, that the Company shall not have any liability in respect of any Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent that the aggregate amount of such Indemnifiable Amounts exceeds $5,000,000.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption and Shareholders’ Deficit [Abstract]  
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption and Shareholders’ Deficit

Note 6—Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption and Shareholders’ Deficit

 

Preference Shares—The Company is authorized to issue 990,000 preference shares, par value $0.0001 per share. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.

 

Class A Ordinary Shares—The Company is authorized to issue 9,000,000,000 Class A ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 9,732,960 and 10,056,597, respectively, Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding, all of which were subject to possible redemption and were classified outside of permanent equity deficit on the unaudited condensed balance sheets.

 

Class B Ordinary Shares—The Company is authorized to issue 999,000,000 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of December 31, 2022, there were 5,240,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding, which amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the share surrenders of Class B ordinary shares to the Company on February 24, 2022 and May 5, 2022 as discussed in Note 4. Of the 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares outstanding, up to an aggregate of 750,000 shares was subject to forfeiture to the extent that the option to purchase additional Units is not exercised in full by the underwriter or is reduced, so that the Founder Shares would represent 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. On July 20, 2022, the Company sold an additional 960,000 Units in the Partial Over-Allotment Exercise pursuant to the underwriter’s notice of the partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. On August 9, 2022, following the expiration of the remaining Over-Allotment Option, the Sponsor forfeited 510,000 Founder Shares. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 there were 5,240,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding.

 

Ordinary shareholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. Except as described below, holders of the Class A ordinary shares and holders of the Class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders, except as required by law.

 

The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of the initial Business Combination or earlier at the option of the holders thereof at a ratio such that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of (i) the total number of ordinary shares issued and outstanding upon completion of the Initial Public Offering, plus (ii) (a) 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 Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, excluding any Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A ordinary shares issued, deemed issued, or to be issued to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any private placement warrants issued to the Sponsor, its affiliates or any member of the management team upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and Extension Loans and (b) any Class A ordinary shares issued to the Sponsor upon conversion of Overfunding Loans. Any conversion of Class B ordinary shares described herein will take effect as a compulsory redemption of Class B ordinary shares and an issuance of Class A ordinary shares as a matter of Cayman Islands law. In no event will the Class B ordinary shares convert into Class A ordinary shares at a rate of less than one to one.

 

Warrants—As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had 10,480,000 Public Warrants and 6,792,000 Private Placement Warrants outstanding. Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional Public Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Public Warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, provided that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act). The Company agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of the Business Combination and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company’s ordinary shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under the Securities Act, the Company, at its option, may require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement. The Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination or earlier upon the Company’s redemption or liquidation.

 

The warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments, and will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the initial shareholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by such shareholder) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates the initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described under “Redemption of Public Warrants” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

 

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants (i) will not be redeemable by the Company, (ii) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders (and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants may not be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders) until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination, (iii) may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis and (iv) will be entitled to registration rights.

 

Redemption of Public Warrants: Once the Public Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants:

 

  in whole and not in part;
     
  at a price of $0.01 per warrant;
     
  upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, the “30-day redemption period”; and
     
  if, and only if, the last reported sale price (the “closing price”) of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the Public Warrant.

 

The Company will not redeem the Public Warrants as described above unless an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares is available throughout the 30-day redemption period or the Company has elected to require the exercise of the Public Warrants on a “cashless basis”. If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption as described above, the Company will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise such warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.”

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures included in the annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these unaudited condensed financial statements as they are not required for interim financial statements under GAAP and the rules of the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) considered for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or any future period.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 29, 2024, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto.

 

Emerging Growth Company

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statement, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Investments Held in the Trust Account

Investments Held in the Trust Account

The Company’s portfolio of investments is comprised of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of money market funds, the investments are recognized at fair value. Trading securities and investments in money market funds are presented on the unaudited condensed balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities are included in income from investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the assets held in the Trust Account were in money market funds.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the unaudited condensed balance sheets.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its financial instruments, including equity-linked financial instruments, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). For freestanding derivative financial instruments that are classified as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recognized at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in the unaudited condensed statements of operations each reporting period. The classification of freestanding derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be classified as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period.

The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt instruments to determine whether the embedded conversion and other features should be bifurcated from the debt host instrument and accounted for as a derivative in accordance with ASC 815.

The Company accounted for the warrants issued in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815. Application of such guidance provides that the warrants are not precluded from equity classification. The warrants were initially measured at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value are not recognized as long as the contracts continue to be classified in equity.

The Partial Over-allotment option was recognized as a derivative liability in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, the Company recognized the instrument as a liability at fair value and adjusted the instrument to fair value at each reporting period. On August 9, 2022, following the expiration of the remaining Over-Allotment Option, the Sponsor forfeited 510,000 Founder Shares and the derivative liability was extinguished.

The Non-Redemption Agreements were recognized as a derivative instrument in accordance with ASC 815. The Non-Redemption Agreements represent a right to receive shares in the future contingent upon the consummation of a business combination. Accordingly, any issuance of equity or the right to issue equity will be recorded as an equity transaction and classified as additional paid-in capital and an expense to the company in connection to the non-redeemed shares. The right to receive shares should be fair valued at inception and expensed in the period the agreement was entered into. As a result of the equity classification conclusion will not be remeasured to fair valued at each reporting period.

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting and advisory fees and other costs incurred through the condensed balance sheet date that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Upon completion of the Initial Public Offering, offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs allocated to the warrants were charged to equity. Offering costs allocated to the Class A ordinary shares were charged against the carrying value of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

 

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A 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) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A 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, as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 9,732,960 and 10,056,597 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, respectively, are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s unaudited condensed balance sheets.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. This method would view the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption date for the security. Effective with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount, which resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the amount of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reflected on the unaudited condensed balance sheets is reconciled in the following table:

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has 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 computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the periods. Remeasurement associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from net income per ordinary share as the redemption value approximates fair value. Therefore, the net income per ordinary share calculation allocates income shared pro rata between Class A and Class B ordinary shares. The Company has not considered the effect of the exercise of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 17,272,000 shares in the calculation of diluted income per ordinary share, since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. 

The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income per ordinary share (in dollars, except per share amounts):

Stock Compensation

Stock Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation expense in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date and recognized over the requisite service period. To the extent a stock-based award is subject to a performance condition, the amount of expense recorded in a given period, if any, reflects an assessment of the probability of achieving such performance condition, with compensation recognized once the event is deemed probable to occur. Forfeitures are recognized as incurred.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

Income Taxes FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties.

The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with the Cayman Islands’ income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.
