Organization and Business Operations |
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS Target Global Acquisition I Corp (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on February 2, 2021. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). As of September 30, 2024, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from February 2, 2021(inception) through September 30, 2024 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering described 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 on investment held in a U.S. based Trust Account at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Trust Account”) maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee (“Continental” or “CST”) from the proceeds derived from the Company’s initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering” “IPO”). The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. The Company’s sponsor is Target Global Sponsor Ltd., a Cayman Islands company limited by shares (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on December 8, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). On December 13, 2021, the Company’s consummated the IPO of 20,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrants”). Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share. Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement of 6,666,667 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to the Sponsor, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement. In connection with the IPO, the underwriters were granted a 45-dayoption from the date of the prospectus (the “Over-Allotment Option”) to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional units to cover over-allotments (the “Over-Allotment Units”), if any. On December 29, 2021, the underwriters purchased an additional 1,489,658 Over-Allotment Units pursuant to the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. The Over-Allotment Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Over-Allotment Unit, generating aggregate additional gross proceeds of $14,896,580 to the Company. Concurrently with the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, the Company completed the private sale of 397,242 additional Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $595,863. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, 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 with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding any deferred underwriting commission and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account). However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the 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 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. Following the closing of the IPO on December 13, 2021, and the exercise of the underwriter’s Over-Allotment Option on December 29, 2021, $219,194,512 ($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was deposited into a Trust Account. On November 24, 2023, the Company instructed Continental to maintain the funds in the Trust Account in cash in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank until the earlier of the consummation of its Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of the Company’s public shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the deadline prescribed in the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Articles”), subject to applicable law, or (iii) the redemption of the Company’s public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to (A) modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its public shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the deadline prescribed in the Company’s Articles or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public shareholders. The Company will provide holders (the “Public Shareholders”) of its Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001, sold in the IPO (the “Public Shares”), with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the initial Business Combination or (ii) without a shareholder vote by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a proposed 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 shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.20 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its income taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses)). The Public Shares subject to redemption will be recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” 2024 Securities Assignment Agreement On May 31, 2024, CIIG Management III LLC (“CIIG III”) entered into a Securities Assignment Agreement (the “Assignment Agreement” or “Transaction”), by and between the Sponsor, the Company and CIIG III, whereby the Sponsor sold, transferred and assigned 3,533,191 Class A ordinary shares of the Company and 17,500 Class B ordinary shares of the Company to CIIG III. In connection with entry into the Assignment Agreement, CIIG III entered into a Purchaser Insider Letter (defined below) and a joinder agreement to the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement, as amended entered into by the Sponsor in connection with the Company’s initial public offering. According to the provisions of the Assignment Agreement, Sponsor agreed that it will pay all operating expenses of the Company and the Sponsor (i) incurred and accrued through May 29, 2024 other than any expenses related to the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders to be held on July 10, 2024 (the “Shareholder Meeting”) and (ii) otherwise related to the year ended December 31, 2023, including, but not limited to, the following: (A) all costs related to the audit of the Company’s 2023 and first quarter of 2024 financial statements, (B) all costs related to any required regulatory filings pertaining to calendar year 2023 and first quarter of 2024 (e.g., 8-K, 10-Q and 10-K filings), which may be filed in the calendar year 2024, (C) all costs related to any required tax filings of the Company or the Sponsor for the year ended December 31, 2023, (D) any other expenses incurred in calendar year 2023 and first quarter of 2024 prior to the closing of the Purchaser’s purchase of the Class A Ordinary Shares and the Class B Ordinary Shares, and (E) premiums for director and officers insurance incurred by the Company for all periods prior to June 8, 2024 (collectively, the “Legacy Expenses”); provided, however, that the Sponsor shall be reimbursed for any Legacy Expenses payable as of the closing date of the Transaction in an amount up to $1,750,000 with such reimbursement being contingent on the Company consummating an initial business combination and such Legacy Expenses being approved and incorporated as part of such initial business combination (the “Reimbursement”). The Company will use its best efforts to have the Legacy Expenses (i) approved and incorporated as part of such initial business combination and (ii) paid on a basis with all other Legacy expenses incurred as part of the initial business combination. The Sponsor has agreed to satisfy or settle any liabilities incurred prior to the Transaction closing date not covered by the Reimbursement and provided the Purchaser documented agreements as to such ten business days prior to the closing of the Transaction. Each of the Sponsor and the Purchaser agreed that they will be responsible for their respective legal expenses incurred to consummate the Transaction, and the Purchaser further agreed that it would be responsible thereafter for any fees and expenses (including but not limited to legal, accounting, printer and transfer agent fees), and any additional consideration (including in the form of Class A ordinary shares or Class B ordinary shares or other securities) paid to shareholders in connection with the extension of the Company’s maturity date as detailed in the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. The Purchaser also agreed to be responsible for any operating expenses incurred from the closing date of the Transaction through the closing of the Company’s initial business combination (unless as otherwise described in the Assignment Agreement), including (A) expenses related to D&O insurance coverage extension incurred on and after June 8, 2024, (B) monthly operating expenses due to the Company’s transfer agent and (C) quarterly operating expenses due to the Company’s auditor, financial printer, and accounting vendor. In connection with the Company’s IPO and the Transaction, the Sponsor, CIIG III, officers and directors of the Company entered into letter agreements (the “Insider Letters”) with the Company in which they have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its public shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO, or such later period approved by the Company’s shareholders in accordance with the Company’s Articles or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO, or such later period approved by the Company’s shareholders in accordance with the Company’s Articles, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fail to complete the Initial Business Combination within the prescribed time frame, and (iv) vote any Founder Shares held by them and any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO (including in open market and privately-negotiated transactions) in favor of the initial Business Combination. In connection with the Transaction, the Lock-Up period definition in the Insider Letters were amended with the consent of the Company and the IPO underwriters. In addition, the Company received a waiver in connection with the Transaction from the lead underwriter of its entitlement to receive the payment of its portion of the Deferred Discount. Pursuant to the Insider Letter with CIIG III, CIIG III and the Chief Executive Officer have agreed that, it or he shall not Transfer 50% of the Founder Shares (or any Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion thereof) until the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination and 50% of the Founder Shares (or any Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion thereof shall not be transferred, assigned or sold except to permitted transferees unless and until the earlier to occur of (A) six months after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination and (B) subsequent to the Company’s initial Business Combination if the last sale price of the ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (subject to adjustment) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Company’s initial Business Combination. On May 31, 2024, Michael Minnick was appointed as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. On July 10, 2024, the Company held the Shareholder Meeting in lieu of an annual general meeting of shareholders. At the Shareholder Meeting, the shareholders of the Company also approved to amend the Company’s Articles to eliminate the requirement to make monthly cash deposits to the Trust Account in order to extend the Termination Date from July 8, 2024 to December 9, 2024 (the “The Third Extension”) and to allow the Company, without another shareholder vote, to elect to further extend the Termination Date, if the Company has entered into a letter of intent or definitive binding agreement to consummate a Business Combination by the Termination Date, on a monthly basis up to six times by an additional one month each time, by resolution of the Company’s board of directors, and upon one calendar days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until June 9, 2025. In connection with the shareholders’ vote at the Shareholder Meeting, the holders of 2,153,204 Class A ordinary shares of the Company properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $11.43 per share. As a result, $24,603,697 will be removed from the Trust Account to redeem such shares and 7,128,431 Class A ordinary shares of the Company will remain outstanding after the redemption has been effected. Upon payment of the redemption, $20,350,872 will remain in the Trust Account. As a result of the approval of the Articles, an additional $5,806 was deposited into the Trust Account representing the two-day prorated amount of the $90,000 monthly deposit for a 31 day month for the July 8-9, 2024 period. In connection with the Shareholder Meeting, the Company and CIIG III entered into non-redemption agreements with unaffiliated third-party shareholders of the Company in exchange for such shareholders agreeing to not redeem (or validly rescind any redemption requests on) an aggregate of 1,679,608 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share. Extensions of Business Combination Deadline 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 Company’s IPO if the Company extended the period of time to consummate a Business Combination, subject to the Sponsor depositing additional funds in the Trust Account) to complete an initial Business Combination. On June 2, 2023, the Company amended its Articles to extend the date by which it has to consummate an initial Business Combination from June 13, 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 (the “Termination Date”) 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. In connection with this 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 Company’s revised Articles. In connection with this extension, stockholders holding 16,994,128 shares of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares issued in the Company’s IPO exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, $178,982,472 (approximately $10.53 per share) was removed from the Company’s Trust Account to pay such holders. On December 15, 2023, the Company amended its Articles once again to extend the Termination Date from January 13, 2024 to May 8, 2024 and to allow the Company to elect to further extend the Termination Date on a monthly basis for up to seven times by an additional one month each time after May 8, 2024, until December 8, 2024, unless the closing of a Business Combination shall have occurred prior thereto. In connection with such Second Extension, the Company entered into another amendment to the Trust Agreement to align the date on which Continental must commence liquidation of the Trust Account to the dates stipulated in the Company’s further revised Articles. In connection with this extension, stockholders holding 561,310 shares of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares issued in the Company’s IPO exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, $6,182,366 (approximately $11.01 per share) was removed from the Company’s Trust Account to pay such holders. On May 6, 2024, the Company elected to extend the Termination Date by one month, until June 8, 2024. In connection with such extension, on May 6, 2024, the Contributor deposited $90,000 into the Trust Account as a December 2023 EGM Contribution. On June 6, 2024, the Company elected to extend the Termination Date by one month, until July 8, 2024. In connection with such extension, on June 8, 2024, the Contributor deposited $90,000 into the Trust Account. On July 10, 2024, the Company held its Shareholder Meeting in lieu of an annual general meeting of shareholders. At the Shareholder Meeting, the shareholders of the Company also approved to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Articles”) to eliminate the requirement to make monthly cash deposits to the Trust Account in order to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination (the “Termination Date”) from July 8, 2024 to December 9, 2024 (the “The Third Extensions”) and to allow the Company, without another shareholder vote, to elect to further extend the Termination Date, if the Company has by the Articles Extension Date entered into a letter of intent or definitive binding agreement to consummate a Business Combination, on a monthly basis for up to six times by an additional one month each time after the Articles Extension Date, by resolution of the Company’s board of directors, and upon one calendar days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until June 9, 2025. As a result of the approval of the Articles, an additional $5,806 was deposited into the Trust Account representing the two-day prorated amount of the $90,000 monthly deposit for a 31-day month for the July 8-9, 2024 period. In connection with the shareholders’ vote at the Shareholder Meeting, the holders of 2,153,204 Class A ordinary shares of the Company properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $11.43 per share. As a result, approximately $24,603,697 will be removed from the Trust Account to redeem such shares and 7,128,431 Class A ordinary shares of the Company will remain outstanding after the redemption has been effected. Upon payment of the redemption, approximately $20,350,872 will remain in the Trust Account. In connection with the Shareholder Meeting, the Company and CIIG Management III LLC entered into non-redemption agreements with unaffiliated third-party shareholders of the Company in exchange for such shareholders agreeing to validly rescind any redemption requests on an aggregate of 1,679,608 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share. Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash outside the Trust Account of $5,693, available for working capital needs, and working deficit of $3,544,876. Until consummation of its Business Combination, we will be using the funds held outside the Trust Account, and any additional Working Capital Loans from the initial shareholders, the Company’s officers and directors, or their respective affiliates, or other third parties, for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination. The Company’s liquidity needs up to September 30, 2024, had been satisfied through a payment from the Sponsor of $25,000 (see Note 5 of the Financial Statements) for the Founder Shares (as defined below) to cover certain offering costs and the borrowings under certain unsecured promissory notes from the Sponsor of up to $2,038,250 (see Note 5 of the Financial Statements). As of September 30, 2024, the amounts under these notes were fully drawn and outstanding. In addition, the Sponsor deposited $1,065,015 into the Trust Account in connection with the extensions. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, initial shareholders, officers, directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans, as defined below (see Note 5 of the Financial Statements). As of September 30, 2024, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans. If the Company is unable to complete a business combination within the deadline prescribed in the Company’s Articles, the Company will redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), if any, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to applicable law and as further described in the registration statement, and then seek to dissolve and liquidate. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the authoritative guidance FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) Topic 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”, management has determined that potential liquidity and capital shortage as described above and a mandatory liquidation, and subsequent dissolution, should the Company be unable to complete a business combination, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Risks and Uncertainties and Factors That May Adversely Affect the Company’s Results of Operations Management is currently evaluating the impact of the current global economic uncertainty including as a result of high inflation, rising interest rates, supply chain disruptions, the Israel-Hamas conflict and the Russia-Ukraine war (including the impact of any sanctions imposed in response thereto) and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that any of these could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. We cannot at this time fully predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact the Company’s business and the ability to complete a Business Combination.
