BACKGROUND
We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset
acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities.
On February 2,
2021, an affiliate of our Sponsor subscribed for an aggregate of 7,187,500 Class B Ordinary Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.003 per share, which shares were subsequently transferred to our Sponsor for a
consideration of $25,000. On November 8, 2021, 1,437,500 Class B Ordinary Shares were cancelled by us resulting in a decrease in the total number of Class B Ordinary Shares outstanding from 7,187,500 shares to 5,750,000 shares. Prior
to the completion of our IPO, our sponsor transferred 25,000 Class B Ordinary Shares to each of our independent directors and 100,000 Class B Ordinary Shares to each of our former Chief Executive Officer Shmuel Chafets and our Chairman
Dr. Gerhard Cromme.
On December 9, 2021, we completed our IPO of 20,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit (the
units), generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000. Each unit consists of one Class A Ordinary Share and one-third of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder
thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to certain adjustments.
Substantially
concurrently with the completion of our IPO, our sponsor purchased an aggregate of 6,666,667 private placement warrants (the Private Placement Warrants) at a price of $1.50 per warrant, or $10,000,000 in the aggregate. A total of
$204,000,000, comprised of $196,000,000 of the proceeds from the IPO, including $7,000,000 of the underwriters deferred discount, and $8,000,000 of the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, was placed in a U.S.-based trust
account at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee (the Trust Account).
On December 29, 2021, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option and purchased an additional 1,489,658 units at an offering
price of $10.00 per unit, generating aggregate additional gross proceeds of $14,896,580 to the Company. Substantially concurrently with the exercise of the over-allotment option, we completed the private sale of 397,242 additional Private Placement
Warrants to the Sponsor at a purchase price of $1.50 per warrant, generating additional gross proceeds to the Company of $595,863.
Following the closing of our IPO on December 9, 2021, and after the closing of the over-allotment option exercise on December 29,
2021, a total of $219,194,512, was placed in the Trust Account maintained by Continental.
The Company initially had 18 months from
the closing of the IPO, until June 13, 2023, or up to 24 months from the closing of the Companys IPO (until December 13, 2023) if the Company extended the period of time to consummate a Business Combination, subject to the Sponsor

2023 to September 13, 2023 and to allow the Company to elect to further extend the date by which the Company has to consummate an initial Business Combination on a monthly basis for up to six times by an additional one month each time after
September 13, 2023, until March 13, 2024, unless the closing of a Business Combination shall have occurred prior thereto (the First Extension). In connection with the First Extension, the Company also amended the Trust
Agreement to align the date on which Continental must commence liquidation of the Trust Account to the dates stipulated in the Companys revised Articles. With respect to the First Extension, on each of September 11, 2023, October 11,
2023, November 11, 2023 and December 11, 2023, the Sponsor made a prior contribution of $90,000 to the Company for each such monthly extension.
