NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND

 

Organization and General

 

Finnovate Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on March 15, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

 

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from March 15, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2024 relates to the Company’s formation and its initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering” or “IPO”) described below, and, since the IPO, the search for a target for its Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

 

IPO

 

On November 8, 2021, the Company completed the sale of 15,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”) included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per Unit. On November 12, 2021, the Company closed on the full over-allotment resulting in the sale of an additional 2,250,000 Units. The IPO and subsequent exercise of the over- allotment generated gross proceeds of $172,500,000, which is described in Note 3. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A Ordinary Shares and three-quarters of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”).

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the sale of 7,900,000 private placement warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) to Finnovate Sponsor, LP (the “Sponsor”) as well as to EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (“EarlyBirdCapital”). On November 12, 2021, pursuant to the full exercise of the over- allotment option, the Sponsor purchased an additional 900,000 Private Placement Warrants. The IPO and subsequent exercise of the over-allotment generated gross proceeds of $8,800,000 from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants.

 

Following the closing of the IPO on November 8, 2021 and the subsequent exercise of the over-allotment option, $175,950,000 ($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”), located in the United States at a nationally recognized financial institution, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”) acting as trustee, and invested only in 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. Pursuant to the trust agreement, the trustee will not be permitted to invest in other securities or assets. The Trust Account is intended as a holding place for funds pending the earliest to occur of either: (i) the completion of the Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of any Public Shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Amended and Restated Memorandum”) to (A) modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Business Combination or to redeem the Public Shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-Business Combination activity; and (iii) the redemption of all of the Public Shares if the Company is unable to complete the Business Combination by November 8, 2024, subject to applicable law. If the Company does not invest the proceeds as discussed above, the Company may be deemed to be subject to the Investment Company Act.

Initial Business Combination

 

The Company’s executive officers and directors (“Management” or “Management Team”) has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete a Business Combination with one or more operating businesses or assets that together have an aggregate fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account as defined below (excluding the underwriting commissions 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 its Business Combination. 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 an interest in the target business or assets sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company.

 

The Company will provide its holders of its Public Shares, including the holders of its Founder Shares (as defined below) prior to the Initial Public Offering (the “Initial Shareholders”) and Management Team to the extent its Initial Shareholders and/or the members of the Management Team purchase Public Shares, provided that each Initial Shareholder’s and member of its Management Team’s status as a “Public Shareholder” will only exist with respect to such Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the Business Combination at a per-share 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 funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay taxes (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations described herein.

 

The amount in the Trust Account is $11.26 per Public Share as of March 31, 2024. The per-share amount the Company will distribute to investors who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriter. The redemption rights will include the requirement that a beneficial holder must identify itself in order to validly redeem its shares. There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of the Business Combination with respect to the warrants. The Company’s initial shareholders, directors and officers have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to the 4,312,500 shares of Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Ordinary Shares”) purchased in March 2021 (the “Founder Shares”, described in more detail in Note 5) and Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of the Business Combination.

 

The Company will only proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 either prior to or upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required by applicable law or stock exchange rules and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum 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 applicable law or stock exchange rules, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or other reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares, and any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction or do not vote at all.

 

Notwithstanding the above, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Amended and Restated Memorandum 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% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

 

The Sponsor has agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to its Founder Shares and Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders rights or pre- Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

 

9
 

 

The Company will have until November 8, 2024 to complete a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”, see Note 10). If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within 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 and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors (“Board” or “Board of Directors”), dissolve and liquidate, 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. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

 

The Sponsor has agreed to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor acquires Public Shares in or after the IPO, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriter has agreed to waive its right to its underwriting commission (see Note 8) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within 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 assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the IPO price per Unit ($10.00).

 

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party 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, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (1) $10.20 per Public Share or (2) such 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 the interest which may be withdrawn to pay franchise and income taxes. This liability will not apply with respect to claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriter of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, 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 (except the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses and 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.

 

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

 

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $5,436 in its operating bank account and a working capital deficit of $3,417,916. The Company’s liquidity needs up to March 31, 2024 had been satisfied by payment from the Sponsor for the Founder Shares, a loan under an unsecured promissory note from the Sponsor of up to $250,000 (the “March 2021 Promissory Note”), drawdowns against the available working capital loan (the “Working Capital Loan”), as well as advances and payments made on behalf of the Company by related parties. The March 2021 Promissory Note was fully repaid as of November 8, 2021.

 

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company with funds as may be required (Working Capital Loans, described in more detail in Note 5). As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had nothing outstanding under the Working Capital Loan.

 

10
 

 

On June 2, 2023, the Company issued a promissory note (the “June 2023 Promissory Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,200,000 to the Sponsor, the proceeds from which will be deposited into the Trust Account for the benefit of each Public Share that was not redeemed in connection with the Company’s May 8, 2023 shareholder vote to approve an extension of the Company’s termination date from May 8, 2023 to May 8, 2024 (the “2023 Extension”). The Sponsor agreed to pay $100,000 per month until the completion of an initial Business Combination, commencing on May 8, 2023 and continuing through May 8, 2024. The June 2023 Promissory Note bears no interest and is due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which the Company consummates its Business Combination and (ii) the date that the winding up of the Company is effective. At the election of the Sponsor, up to $1,200,000 of the unpaid principal amount of the June 2023 Promissory Note may be converted into warrants of the Company (the “Conversion Warrants”) at a conversion price of $1.00 per warrant. The Conversion Warrants shall be identical to the Private Placement Warrants issued by the Company at the IPO. The Company has determined that the fair value of the June 2023 Promissory Note is its face value as the note was not issued with a substantial premium. The Sponsor funded the first three months of the June 2023 Promissory Note in its first payment. As of March 31, 2024, the outstanding balance of the June 2023 Promissory Note was $1,000,000, and no interest was accrued. If the Company is not able to consummate a Business Combination before November 8, 2024, the Company will commence an automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation (see Note 10). Management has determined that automatic liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution also raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. While Management intends to complete a Business Combination on or before November 8, 2024, it is uncertain whether the Company will be able to do so. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after November 8, 2024.

 

On November 8, 2023, the Company issued a promissory note in the principal amount of up to $1,500,000 to Sunorange (the “November 2023 Promissory Note”). The note is non-interest bearing and is due on the earlier of consummation of the Business Combination or liquidation. The November 2023 Promissory Note was issued in connection with advances made by Sunorange since May 8, 2023 and advances Sunorange may make in the future to the Company for working capital expenses. The November 2023 Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and payable upon the earlier of (i) the date of the consummation of the Business Combination or (ii) the date of the Company’s liquidation. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $709,859 outstanding under the November 2023 Promissory Note included in the Working capital loan – related party line of the balance sheet.

 

On January 26, 2024, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “January 2024 Promissory Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,500,000 to Scage, a party to the Business Combination Agreement entered into by the Company, Scage, and other parties on August 21, 2023 (the “Scage Business Combination Agreement”), for the Company’s working capital needs. The January 2024 Promissory Note does not bear interest and matures upon the earlier of the closing of an initial Business Combination by the Company and the Company’s liquidation. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $200,000 outstanding under the January 2024 Promissory Note.

 

These conditions, involving liquidity concerns and mandatory liquidation, raise 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 unaudited condensed financial statements are issued. There is no assurance that the Company’s plan to consummate a Business Combination will be successful or successful within the Combination Period. The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Sunorange Investment

 

On April 27, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with the Sponsor and Sunorange Limited (the “Sunorange”), pursuant to which Sunorange and its designees acquired partnership interests in the Sponsor and Class B Ordinary Shares directly held by certain Company directors, which combined interests entitled Sunorange to receive, in the aggregate, 3,557,813 Class B Ordinary Shares and 6,160,000 Private Placement Warrants (collectively, the “Insider Securities”), and the Company introduced a change in Management and the Board as follows: (i) Calvin Kung shall replace David Gershon as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and Wang Chiu (Tommy) Wong shall replace Ron Golan as Chief Financial Officer and director on the Board, effective upon closing of the Sunorange Investment (as defined herein); (ii) Jonathan Ophir and Uri Chaitchik tendered their resignations as Chief Investment Officer and Senior Consultant, respectively, effective upon closing of the Sunorange Investment; and (iii) Mitch Garber, Gustavo Schwed and Nadav Zohar tendered their resignations as directors, effective upon expiration of all applicable waiting periods under Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 thereunder (such period of time being referred to herein as the “Waiting Period”), and whose vacancies were filled by individuals to be designated by Sunorange and effective upon expiration of the Waiting Period (such new officers and directors collectively referred to herein as the “New Management”). Sunorange’s acquisition of interests in the Insider Securities, the change to New Management and other transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the “Sunorange Investment.”

 

11
 

 

On May 8, 2023, the Company completed the closing of the Sunorange Investment after our shareholders approved certain proposals discussed below, and after certain closing conditions were met, including but not limited to: (i) a minimum of $30 million remaining in the Company’s Trust Account after accounting for all redemptions in connection with the Company’s extraordinary general meeting of shareholders on May 8, 2023 (the “2023 EGM”); (ii) the Company obtaining or extending a D&O insurance policy on terms satisfactory to the parties; (iii) the conversion of Class B Ordinary Shares into Class A Ordinary Shares as needed to retain shareholders and meet continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) in the event that the 2023 Extension is approved; (iv) the amendment of the Sponsor’s existing limited partnership agreement; (v) the transfer of 61,875 Class B Ordinary Shares from certain Company directors to Sunorange or its designees and (vi) the cancellation of the outstanding Working Capital Loan from the Sponsor and the reduction of certain advisory fees to be due upon the closing of an initial Business Combination.

 

In connection with the closing of the Sunorange Investment, on May 8, 2023, Sunorange caused $300,000 to be deposited into the Trust Account to support the first three months of the 2023 Extension from May 9, 2023 through August 8, 2023 (see Note 5). Sunorange also agreed to cause to be deposited into the Trust Account an additional $100,000 for each successive month, or portion thereof, that is needed by the Company to complete an initial Business Combination until May 8, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, $1,100,000 has been deposited into the Trust Account in support of the 2023 Extension.

 

Business Combination Agreement

 

On August 21, 2023, the Company and Scage International Limited (“Scage”) entered into the Scage Business Combination Agreement. Scage is a zero-emission solution provider in China, focusing on the development and commercialization of heavy-duty NEV trucks and e-fuel solutions. Upon consummation of the two mergers and the other transaction contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Scage Business Combination”), Scage Future, a newly formed holding company (“Pubco”) will seek to be listed on Nasdaq. The outstanding securities of Scage and the Company will be converted into the right to receive securities of Pubco. The transaction represents a post-Business Combination valuation of $1.0 billion ($1,000,000,000) for Scage upon closing of the Scage Business Combination, subject to adjustment.

 

On August 29, 2023, the Company engaged a third-party consultant to provide the Company with an introduction to potential targets for its Business Combination. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company has agreed to pay a contingent fee of 0.5% of the implied enterprise value of the target if the Company consummates a Business Combination.

 

Lock-Up Agreements

 

Simultaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Pubco, Scage, the Company and certain shareholders of Scage (“Key Scage Shareholders”), as shareholders holding shares of Scage sufficient to constitute the Required Company Shareholder Approval (as that term is defined in the Business Combination Agreement) as the holder of record or the beneficial owner within the meaning of Rule 135-3 of the Exchange Act, each entered into Lock-Up Agreements (each, a “Key Seller Lock-Up Agreement”). It is a condition to the Closing that all stockholders of Scage between signing and Closing enter into a Lock-Up Agreement (each, a “Seller Lock-Up Agreement”).

 

Pursuant to each Key Seller Lock-Up Agreement, each Key Scage Shareholder agreed not to, during the period commencing from the date and time at which the Closing is actually held (the “Closing Date”) and ending on (A) the 6-month anniversary of the Closing Date with respect to 40% of the restricted securities and (B) the 36-month anniversary of the Closing Date with respect to the remaining 60% of the restricted securities, (i) lend, offer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, donate, assign, sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of or agree to transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase of a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any restricted securities, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Lock-up Securities (as that term is defined in the Business Combination Agreement), whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such restricted securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing, whether any such transaction described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above is to be settled by delivery of restricted securities or other securities, in cash or otherwise (any of the foregoing described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Prohibited Transfer”) (subject to early release if Pubco consummates a Change of Control (as that term is defined in the Business Combination Agreement)).

 

Pursuant to each Seller Lock-Up Agreement, the remaining Scage shareholders agreed not to make a Prohibited Transfer during the period commencing from the Closing Date and ending on the 6-month anniversary of the Closing Date (subject to early release if Pubco consummates a Change of Control).

 

12
 

 

Shareholder Support Agreement

 

Simultaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company, Scage, and Key Scage Shareholders entered into a Shareholder Support Agreement (the “Shareholder Support Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Key Scage Shareholders have agreed (a) to support the adoption of the Business Combination Agreement and the approval of the transactions contemplated therein, subject to certain customary conditions, and (b) not to transfer any of their subject shares (or enter into any arrangement with respect thereto), subject to certain customary conditions.

 

Sponsor Support Agreement

 

Simultaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company, Scage, Pubco and the Sponsor entered into a Sponsor Support Agreement (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”), pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to vote all of its shares of the Company in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein. The Sponsor Support Agreement also prevents transfers of securities of the Company held by the Sponsor between the date of the Sponsor Support Agreement and the termination of the Sponsor Support Agreement.

 

Insider Letter Amendment

 

Simultaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company, Scage, the Sponsor, Pubco, Calvin Kung, Wang Chiu Wong, Chunyi Hao, Tiemei Li, and Sanjay Prasad entered into an amendment (the “Insider Letter Amendment”) to that certain letter agreement, dated November 8, 2021 (the “Insider Letter”), by and among the Company, the Sponsor and the directors, officers or other initial shareholders of the Company named therein, pursuant to which Pubco and Scage are added as parties to the Insider Letter.

 

Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement

 

Simultaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, certain shareholders and officers (each, a “Subject Party”) of the Company each entered into a noncompetition and non-solicitation agreement with the Company, Pubco, Scage, and the Sponsor (collectively, the “Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement”). Under the Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement, the Subject Party agrees not to compete with Pubco, the Sponsor, the Company, Scage, and their respective affiliates during the three-year period following the Closing and, during such three-year restricted period, not to solicit employees or customers of such entities. The Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement also contains customary confidentiality and non-disparagement provisions.

 

Assignment, Assumption, and Amendment to Warrant Agreement

 

Prior to the Closing, the Company, Pubco and Continental, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”), will enter the Assignment, Assumption, and Amendment to Warrant Agreement (the “Warrant Amendment”), which will amend that certain Warrant Agreement, dated as of November 8, 2021, relating to the Company warrants (the “Warrant Agreement”), filed with the SEC on November 8, 2021. Pursuant to the Warrant Amendment: (i) Pubco will assume the obligations of the Company under the Warrant Agreement, such that, among other things, Pubco will be added as a party thereto and (ii) references to the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares in the Warrant Agreement shall mean Pubco ordinary shares.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

Our results of operations and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond our control. Our business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, increases in interest rates, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including resurgences and the emergence of new variants, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. 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 our business and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination.

 

Management is currently evaluating the impact of such risks and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that they could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations, close of the IPO 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.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 as filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024 (the “2023 Annual Report”). The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or for any future periods.

 

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, 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 a 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 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 which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which 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 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

 

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 unaudited condensed financial statements, 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.

 

14
 

 

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 cash of $5,436 and $37 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

 

Investment Held in Trust Account

 

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the assets held in the Trust Account consisted of $52,063,473 and $51,200,344, respectively. The Company’s portfolio of investments is comprised of investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value. The investments in money market funds are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities is included in income on investments held in the Trust Account in the accompanying statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has not experienced losses on this account and Management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

 

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

 

The Company complies with the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A — “Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the IPO. Offering costs were charged to Shareholder’s Equity upon the completion of the IPO and subsequent exercise of the over-allotment. Accordingly, following the IPO on November 8, 2021 and subsequent exercise of the over-allotment on November 12, 2021, offering costs totaling $4,171,912 (consisting of $3,450,000 of underwriting fee, and $721,912 of other offering costs) have been charged to Shareholders’ Equity.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

 

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects Management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

 

Level 1 Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not being applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
     
Level 2 Valuations based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities, or (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market through correlation or other means.
     
Level 3 Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

 

15
 

 

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 Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”). Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares (collectively, “Ordinary Shares”) (including Ordinary Shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Ordinary Shares are classified as shareholder’s 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, Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholder’s equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.

 

Immediately upon the closing of the IPO, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable Ordinary Shares are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.

 

As a result of the shareholder vote held on May 8, 2023, 12,626,668 shareholders exercised their right to redemption which left a remainder of 4,623,332 Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption. These shareholders were paid an aggregate of $132,616,922, or $10.50 per share, on May 18, 2023.

 

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption reflected in the balance sheet is reconciled in the following table:

 

   March 31, 2024   December 31, 2023 
As of beginning of the period  $51,200,344   $178,531,059 
Plus:   -    - 
Remeasurement of carrying value to redemption value   563,129    4,486,207 
Extension Contributions   300,000    800,000 
Less:          
Redemptions of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption   -    (132,616,922)
   $52,063,473   $51,200,344 

 

Warrants

 

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own Ordinary Shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

 

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. The Company accounts for its outstanding warrants as equity-classified instruments.

  

Income Taxes

 

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the unaudited condensed financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

16
 

 

ASC 740 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. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

 

There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman 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.

 

Net Income Per Ordinary Share

 

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares outstanding during the period. The Company has two classes of shares, redeemable Ordinary Shares and non-redeemable Ordinary Shares. The Company’s redeemable Ordinary Shares are comprised of Class A shares sold in the IPO. The Company’s non-redeemable shares are comprised of Class A shares held by EarlyBirdCapital and Class B shares purchased by the Sponsor which were converted into Class A shares with their original legend in May 2023. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. The Company’s statement of operations applies the two-class method in calculating net income per share. Basic and diluted net income per share for redeemable Ordinary Shares and non-redeemable Ordinary Shares is calculated by dividing net income, allocated proportionally to each class of Ordinary Shares, attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of shares of redeemable and non-redeemable Ordinary Shares outstanding.

 

The calculation of diluted income per ordinary share does not consider the effect of the rights issued in connection with the IPO since exercise of the rights is contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such rights would be anti-dilutive. Accretion of the carrying value of Class A Ordinary Shares to redemption value is excluded from net income per redeemable share because the redemption value approximates fair value. As a result, diluted income per share is the same as basic loss per share for the period presented.

 

Accordingly, basic and diluted income per ordinary share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 is calculated as follows:

 

   Redeemable
Ordinary Shares
   Non-Redeemable
Ordinary Shares
   Redeemable
Ordinary Shares
   Non-Redeemable
Ordinary Shares
 
   For the three months ended 
   March 31, 2024   March 31, 2023 
   Redeemable
Ordinary Shares
   Non-Redeemable
Ordinary Shares
   Redeemable
Ordinary Shares
   Non-Redeemable
Ordinary Shares
 
Basic and diluted net income per share:                    
Numerator:                    
Allocation of net income  $123,190   $118,905   $1,288,649   $319,985 
                     
Denominator:                    
Weighted-average shares outstanding   4,623,332    4,462,500    17,400,000    4,312,500 
Basic and diluted net income per share  $0.03   $0.03   $0.07   $0.07

Recent Accounting Standards

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASU 2020-06”). The update simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models in Subtopic 470-20, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options for convertible instruments and introducing other changes. As a result of ASU No. 2020-06, more convertible debt instruments will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost and more convertible preference shares will be accounted for as a single equity instrument measured at its historical cost, as long as no features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. The amendments are effective for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2024. There was no material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, ASC Subtopic 820 “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions” (“ASU 2022-03”). The ASU amends ASC 820 to clarify that a contractual sales restriction is not considered in measuring an equity security at fair value and to introduce new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value. The ASU applies to both holders and issuers of equity and Equity-Linked Securities measured at fair value. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company adopted ASU 2022-03 on January 1, 2024. There was no material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) — Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”) in order to enhance the transparency and usefulness of income tax disclosures. The guidance is applicable to all entities subject to income tax, and it will require disclosure of certain categories within the rate reconciliation to improve consistency as well as disclosure of reconciling items which meet a certain quantitative threshold which will improve transparency. Additionally, entities must disclose the amount of taxes paid to federal, state and foreign municipalities. For public business entities ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of its pending adoption of ASU 2023-09 on its financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosure.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not 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 November 8, 2021, the Company completed its IPO of 15,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option from the date of the IPO to purchase up to 2,250,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the IPO price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On November 12, 2021, the Company closed on the underwriters’ full exercise of their over-allotment option which resulted in the sale of an additional 2,250,000 Units. The IPO and subsequent over-allotment exercise generated gross proceeds of $172,500,000.

 

Each Unit consists of one share of Class A Ordinary Shares and three-quarters of one redeemable Public Warrant. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Ordinary Shares at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 9).

 

Following the closing of the IPO on November 8, 2021, and subsequent exercise of the over-allotment an aggregate of $175,950,000 ($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants in the IPO and over-allotment exercise was deposited into the Trust Account. As of March 31, 2024, the net proceeds deposited into the Trust Account are invested in an interest-bearing demand deposit account.

 

NOTE 4 – PRIVATE PLACEMENT WARRANTS

 

The Sponsor and EarlyBirdCapital agreed to purchase an aggregate of 7,900,000 Private Placement Warrants (7,400,000 bought by the Sponsor, and 500,000 bought by EarlyBirdCapital) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a Private Placement that occurred simultaneously with the closing of the IPO. Simultaneously with the closing of the sale of the Over-Allotment Units on November 12, 2021, the Company completed an additional private sale of an aggregate of 900,000 warrants (the “Additional Private Placement Warrants”) to the Sponsor, which purchased 843,038 such warrants, and the underwriter, which purchased 56,962 such warrants. As a result of the IPO and subsequent over-allotment exercise, an aggregate of 8,800,000 Private Placement Warrants were sold (8,243,038 to the Sponsor and 556,962 to EarlyBirdCapital) for gross proceeds of $8,800,000.

 

18
 

 

Each whole Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one whole share of Class A Ordinary Shares at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor have been added to the proceeds from the IPO to be held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

 

NOTE 5 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Founder Shares

 

In March 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000 (approximately $0.006 per share) in consideration for 4,312,500 shares of Class B Ordinary Shares with par value of $0.0001. Up to 562,500 of these Founder Shares were subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor if the underwriter’s over-allotment option was not exercised, so that the number of Founder Shares will collectively represent approximately 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the IPO. On November 12, 2021 the underwriter fully exercised the over- allotment option which resulted in the 562,500 shares no longer being subject to forfeiture.

 

The Sponsor and the Company’s directors and executive officers have agreed, subject to certain limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination and (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after a Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property.

 

On May 8, 2023, the Company issued an aggregate of 4,237,499 (the “Sponsor Shares”) of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares to the Sponsor upon the conversion of an equal number of shares of Class B Ordinary Shares (the “Sponsor Conversion”). Combined with the Director Share conversion discussed below, the Sponsor Conversion left 1 Class B ordinary share outstanding. These Sponsor Shares continue to hold the same legend as they did prior to their conversion. Accordingly, these shares are accounted for as Class A Ordinary Shares at their par value.

 

EarlyBirdCapital Founder Shares

 

In March 2021, the Company issued to EarlyBirdCapital and its designees an aggregate of 150,000 Class A Ordinary Shares (“EBC Founder Shares”) at a price of $0.0001 per share. The Company estimated the fair value of the EBC Founder Shares to be $870 based upon the price of the Founder Shares issued to the Sponsor. The holders of the EBC Founder Shares have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such shares until the completion of a Business Combination. In addition, the holders have agreed (i) to waive their conversion rights (or right to participate in any tender offer) with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

 

The EBC Founder Shares have been deemed compensation by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and are therefore subject to a lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement related to the IPO pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1). Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1), these securities will not be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statements related to the IPO, nor may they be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statements related to the IPO except to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the IPO and their officers or partners, associated persons or affiliates.

 

Director Shares

 

In October 2021, the Sponsor transferred 75,000 Founder Shares to the independent directors (“Director Shares”) at a price of $0.0001 per share. The Company estimated the fair value of the Director Shares to be $450,676 based upon the price of the Founder Shares issued to the Sponsor.

 

19
 

 

On May 8, 2023, the Company issued an aggregate of 75,000 Class A Ordinary Shares (together with the Sponsor Shares, the “Converted Class A Ordinary Shares”) to the Directors and the holders of the Company’s 75,000 Class B Ordinary Shares upon the conversion of an equal number of shares of Class B Ordinary Shares (together with the Sponsor Conversion, the “Conversion”). On the same day, in connection with the closing of the Sunorange Investment, 61,875 of the Converted Class A Ordinary Shares held by the Directors were transferred to designees of Sunorange.

 

The conversion of these Director Shares from Class B to Class A was not the result of a Business Combination, and the Company has previously recognized $450,676 in expenses related to these Director Shares. As such, these shares will continue to be held at their book value.

 

Related Party Loans

 

In March 2021, the Sponsor issued an unsecured Promissory Note to the Company, pursuant to which the Company was permitted to borrow an aggregate principal amount of $250,000. The Promissory Note was non-interest bearing, and the Promissory Note was fully repaid as of November 8, 2021, upon the closing of the IPO.

 

In addition, in order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor may, but is not obligated to, provide the Company with Working Capital Loans. Any such loans would be on an interest-free basis. If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company may repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. 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. 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. On May 8, 2023, in connection with the Sunorange Investment, the outstanding balance under the existing Promissory Note was forgiven. This was deemed to be a benefit to the Company under SAB Topic 5T. In order to recognize this benefit, the Company de-recognized the outstanding Promissory Note and reclassified it to additional paid-in capital, as an in-substance capital contribution. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Working Capital Loan.

 

On June 2, 2023, the Company issued the June 2023 Promissory Note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,200,000 to the Sponsor, which will be deposited into the Trust Account for the benefit of each Public Share that was not redeemed in connection with the Company’s May 8, 2023 shareholder vote to approve the 2023 Extension. The Sponsor agreed to pay $100,000 per month until the completion of an initial Business Combination, commencing on May 8, 2023 and continuing through May 8, 2024. The June 2023 Promissory Note bears no interest and is due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which the Company consummates its Business Combination and (ii) the date that the winding up of the Company is effective. At the election of the Sponsor, up to $1,200,000 of the unpaid principal amount of the June 2023 Promissory Note may be converted into Conversion Warrants at a conversion price of $1.00 per warrant. The Conversion Warrants shall be identical to the Placement Warrants issued by the Company at the IPO. The Company has determined that the fair value of the June 2023 Promissory Note is its face value as the note was not issued with a substantial premium. The Sponsor funded the first three months of the June 2023 Promissory Note in its first payment. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Sponsor had deposited an aggregate of $1,000,000 and $800,000, respectively, in payments to support the 2023 Extension on behalf of the Company.

 

On November 8, 2023, the Company issued the November 2023 Promissory Note the amount of $1,500,000 to Sunorange Investment. The November 2023 Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and is due at the earlier of consummation of the Business Combination or liquidation. Prior to the November 2023 Promissory Note being in place, related parties were making advances to the Company and on behalf of the Company for the purposes of paying its vendors. All advances made by the related parties between May 8, 2023 and the date of execution are retroactively covered by the November 2023 Promissory Note. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $709,859 and $542,503, respectively, was outstanding under the November 2023 Promissory Note.

 

Administrative Services Agreement

 

Commencing on the date that the Company’s securities are first listed on a U.S. national securities exchange, the Company has committed to pay a total of $3,000 per month to the Sponsor for office space, utilities and administrative support services. This administrative service arrangement will terminate upon completion of the Business Combination or liquidation of the Company. As of March 31, 2024 the Company has accrued $65,600 under the agreement in Due to related party and expensed $9,000 in Operating, general and administrative expenses for the three-month period then ended.

NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Registration Rights

 

The holders of the Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants (and any shares of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on the effective date of the IPO, requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to shares of Class A Ordinary Shares). The holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders will have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act 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 Agreement

 

The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option from the date of the IPO to purchase up to 2,250,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the IPO price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriter fully exercised this option which closed subsequent to the IPO.

 

EarlyBirdCapital earned an underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $3,450,000 in the aggregate, upon the closing of the IPO and subsequent exercise of the full over-allotment option.

The Company will pay EarlyBirdCapital a cash fee for such services solely in the event of consummation of the Business Combination in an amount equal to 1.75%, or $3,018,750) of the gross proceeds of the IPO (exclusive of any applicable finders’ fees which might become payable). This fee will become payable to EarlyBirdCapital upon consummation of the Business Combination. No liability will be recorded for such fee until it becomes probable that the fee will be paid.

The Company has engaged a third-party consultant to provide the Company with assistance in various aspects of any potential Business Combination. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company has agreed to pay a contingent fee of at least $3,500,000 if the Company consummates a Business Combination.

On August 29, 2023, the Company engaged a third-party consultant to provide the Company with an introduction to potential targets for its Business Combination. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company has agreed to pay a contingent fee of 0.5% of the implied enterprise value of the target if the Company consummates a Business Combination. As the Business Combination is not considered probable, no expense has been recorded in the unaudited condensed financial statements related to this agreement.

 

Legal Agreement

 

The Company has engaged a third-party legal firm to provide the Company with assistance in various aspects of any potential Business Combination. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company has agreed to contingent payments upon the achievement of certain milestones. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has incurred and paid roughly $20,000 related to this agreement. An additional $90,000 could be earned by the legal firm as outlined in the contractual milestones. The remaining milestones are not yet considered probable and as such have not been accrued for.

 

NOTE 9 – SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

 

Preference Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 preference shares, with a par value of $0.0001 per share, with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.

 

Class A Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of Class A Ordinary Shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class A Ordinary Shares are entitled to one vote for each share. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 4,462,499 Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding (excluding 4,623,332 shares subject to possible redemption).

 

Class B Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of Class B Ordinary Shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there was 1 Class B Ordinary Share issued and outstanding.

 

Holders of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders except as required by law. Under the terms of the Sunorange Investment, the Class B Ordinary Shares were converted to Class A Ordinary Shares although the Sponsor will retain at least one Class B ordinary share.

 

Any Founder Shares outstanding at the time of the Business Combination will automatically convert into shares of Class A Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional shares of Class A Ordinary Shares, or Equity-Linked Securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in the IPO and related to the closing of a Business Combination, the ratio at which shares of Class B Ordinary Shares shall convert into shares of Class A Ordinary Shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Ordinary Shares agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B Ordinary Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of Ordinary Shares outstanding upon the completion of the IPO plus all shares of Class A Ordinary Shares and Equity-Linked Securities issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination (excluding any shares or Equity-Linked Securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination).

 

22
 

 

Warrants — Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 12 months from the closing of the IPO and (b) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination.

 

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available. No warrant will be exercisable, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares of Class A Ordinary Shares upon exercise of a warrant unless the share of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants.

 

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days after the closing of a Business Combination, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the shares of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, and the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of a Business Combination, and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A Ordinary Shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement; provided that if the Class A Ordinary Shares is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, 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, but it will use its commercially reasonably efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. If a registration statement covering the shares of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th day after the closing of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption, but the Company will use its commercially reasonably efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

 

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

 

  in whole and not in part;
     
  at a price of $0.01 per warrant;
     
  upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and
     
  if, and only if, the closing price of the Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three trading days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

 

If and when the Public Warrants become redeemable by the Company, it may exercise its redemption right even if the Company is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

 

23
 

 

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 Business Combination at a Newly Issued Price of less than $9.20 per Class A ordinary share, (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of our Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the Market Value is below $9.20 per share, then the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the greater of (i) the Market Value or (ii) the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the greater of (i) the Market Value or (ii) the Newly Issued Price.

 

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units being sold in the IPO.

  

NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the unaudited condensed financial statements were issued. Based upon this review the Company did not identify any subsequent events, other than those described below, that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the unaudited condensed financial statements.

 

On May 2, 2024, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting in lieu of an annual general meeting of shareholders (the “2024 EGM”). At the 2024 EGM, the shareholders approved a proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate an initial business combination from May 8, 2024 to November 8, 2024 (or such earlier date as determined by the Board in its sole discretion) (the “2024 Extension”), among other proposals. Shareholders holding 2,374,826 shares of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, approximately $26,907,976 (approximately $11.33 per share) will be removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders.

 

On May 6, 2024, the Company received a deficiency notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of Nasdaq notifying the Company that since it was first notified on October 9, 2023, the Company had not regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2), which requires a company listed on The Nasdaq Global Market to have a minimum of 400 total shareholders (the “Minimum Total Holders Requirement”), by the end of the 180-day extension period ended April 8, 2024. Pursuant to the Notice, the Company’s securities may be subject to suspension and delisting pending the outcome of a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), which the Company requested on May 13, 2024. The Company’s hearing request has stayed the suspension of the Company’s securities, and the Company’s securities will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Global Market until the hearing process concludes and the Panel issues a written decision.

 

On May 15, 2024, the Company issued a promissory note (the “May 2024 Promissory Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $225,000 to the Sponsor, the proceeds from which will be deposited into the Trust Account for the benefit of each Public Share that was not redeemed in connection with the Company’s May 2, 2024 shareholder vote to approve the 2024 Extension. The Sponsor agreed to pay $37,500 per month until the completion of an initial Business Combination, commencing on May 8, 2024 and continuing through November 8, 2024. The May 2024 Promissory Note bears no interest and is due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which the Company consummates its Business Combination and (ii) the date that the winding up of the Company is effective. The Company has determined that the fair value of the May 2024 Promissory Note is its face value as the note was not issued with a substantial premium. As of March 31, 2024, the outstanding balance of the May 2024 Promissory Note was $0, and no interest was accrued.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Report including, without limitation, statements under this Item regarding our financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of Management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. When used in this Report, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our Management, identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of our Management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our Management. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed in our filings with the SEC. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph.

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Report under “Item 1. Financial Statements.”

 

Overview

 

We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on March 15, 2021 and formed for the purpose of entering into a Business Combination with one or more businesses.

 

We consummated our Initial Public Offering on November 8, 2021 and are currently in the process of consummating the Scage Business Combination.

 

The issuance of additional shares in an initial Business Combination:

 

  may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors in the Initial Public Offering, which dilution would increase if the anti-dilution provisions in our Class B Ordinary Shares resulted in the issuance of our Class A Ordinary Shares on a greater than one- to-one basis upon conversion of our Class B Ordinary Shares;
     
  may subordinate the rights of holders of our Class A Ordinary Shares if shares of preferred shares are issued with rights senior to those afforded our Class A Ordinary Shares;
     
  could cause a change in control if a substantial number of shares of our Class A Ordinary Shares are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors;
     
  may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us by diluting the share ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of us; and
     
  may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Class A Ordinary Shares and/or Warrants.

 

Similarly, if we issue debt securities, or otherwise incur significant debt, it could result in:

 

  default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after an initial Business Combination are insufficient to repay our debt obligations;
     
  acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of such covenants;
     
  our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt is payable on demand;
     
  our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt is outstanding;
     
  our inability to pay dividends on our ordinary or preferred shares;
     
  using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on our Ordinary Shares if declared and our ability to pay expenses, make capital expenditures and acquisitions and fund other general corporate purposes;
     
  limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and in the industry in which we operate;
     
  increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation; and
     
  limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements and execution of our strategy and for other purposes, and other disadvantages compared to our competitors who have less debt.

 

We completed the sale of 15,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit on November 8, 2021. Simultaneous with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we completed the sale of 7,900,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a Private Placement to our Sponsor as well as to EarlyBirdCapital, generating gross proceeds of $7,900,000 from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants.

 

25
 

 

On November 12, 2021, we closed on the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, which resulted in the sale of an additional 2,250,000 Units for additional gross proceeds to us of $22,500,000 and aggregate IPO and over-allotment gross proceeds of $172,500,000. Simultaneously with the exercise of the over-allotment, the Sponsor purchased an additional 900,000 Private Placement Warrants, which resulted in additional gross proceeds of $900,000 and aggregate Private Placement proceeds from the IPO and over-allotment of $8,800,000.

 

Following the closing of the IPO on November 8, 2021 and the subsequent exercise of the over-allotment option, $175,950,000 ($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in the Trust Account, located in the United States at a nationally recognized financial institution, with Continental acting as trustee and until November 2, 2023 invested only in 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 Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the trustee will not be permitted to invest in other securities or assets. As of November 2, 2023, the funds in the Trust Account were moved to an interest-bearing demand deposit account.

 

On January 24, 2024, the SEC adopted new rules and regulations for special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”), which will become effective on July 1, 2024 (the “2024 SPAC Rules”). The 2024 SPAC Rules require, among other matters, (i) additional disclosures relating to SPAC Business Combination transactions; (ii) additional disclosures relating to dilution and to conflicts of interest involving sponsors and their affiliates in both SPAC initial public offerings and Business Combination transactions; (iii) additional disclosures regarding projections included in SEC filings in connection with proposed Business Combination transactions; and (iv) the requirement that both the SPAC and its target company be co-registrants for Business Combination registration statements. In addition, the SEC’s adopting release provided guidance describing circumstances in which a SPAC could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, including its duration, asset composition, business purpose, and the activities of the SPAC and its management team in furtherance of such goals. The 2024 SPAC Rules may materially affect our ability to negotiate and complete our initial Business Combination and may increase the costs and time related thereto.

 

Recent Developments

 

2024 Extension of our Combination Period

 

On May 2, 2024, we held the 2024 EGM to amend our Amended and Restated Memorandum to approve the 2024 Extension.

 

There were 9,085,832 of our Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding on April 4, 2024, the record date for the 2024 EGM. At the 2024 EGM, there were 7,997,433 Ordinary Shares present in person or by proxy, representing approximately 88.02% of the total Ordinary Shares outstanding as of the record date, which constituted a quorum.

 

Shareholders holding 2,374,826 Class A Ordinary Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in our Trust Account. These shares were redeemed for approximately $11.33 per share for a total redemption value paid from the Trust Account of approximately $26,907,976.

 

In connection with the 2024 EGM, Sunorange will contribute to us loans of the lesser of (i) $37,500 or (ii) $0.025 for each Public Share that is not redeemed for each calendar month (commencing on May 8, 2024 and ending on the 8th day of each subsequent month), or portion thereof, that is needed by us to complete an initial Business Combination until November 8, 2024.

 

On May 15, 2024, we issued the May 2024 Promissory Note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $225,000 to the Sponsor, which will be deposited into the Trust Account for the benefit of each Public Share that was not redeemed in connection with our May 8, 2024 shareholder vote to approve the 2024 Extension. The Sponsor agreed to pay $37,500 per month until the completion of an initial Business Combination, commencing on May 8, 2024 and continuing through November 8, 2024. The May 2024 Promissory Note bears no interest and is due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which we consummate our Business Combination and (ii) the date that our winding up is effective. As of March 31, 2024, the Sponsor had deposited an aggregate of $1,100,000 into the Trust Account to support the 2024 Extension on behalf of the Company. As of May 15, 2024, the outstanding balance of the May 2024 Promissory Note was $37,500, and no interest was accrued.

Nasdaq Compliance — Minimum Total Holders

 

On May 6, 2024, we received a Notice from the Staff of Nasdaq notifying us that since we were first notified on October 9, 2023, we did not regain compliance with the Minimum Total Holders Requirement which requires a company listed on The Nasdaq Global Market to have a minimum of 400 total shareholders, by the end of the 180-day extension period ended April 8, 2024. Pursuant to the Notice, our securities may be subject to suspension and delisting pending the outcome of a hearing before the Panel, which we requested on May 13, 2024. Our hearing request has stayed the suspension of our securities, and our securities will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Global Market until the hearing process concludes and the Panel issues a written decision.

 

Sunorange Investment

 

On April 27, 2023, we entered into the Investment Agreement with the Sponsor and Sunorange, pursuant to which Sunorange and its designees shall acquire partnership interests in the Sponsor and Class B Ordinary Shares directly held by certain of our directors, which combined interests will entitle Sunorange to receive, in the aggregate, the Insider Securities, consisting of 3,557,813 Class B Ordinary Shares and 6,160,000 Private Placement Warrants, and we shall introduce a change in Management and the Board as follows: (i) Calvin Kung shall replace David Gershon as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and Wang Chiu (Tommy) Wong shall replace Ron Golan as Chief Financial Officer and director on the Board, effective upon closing of the Sunorange Investment; (ii) Jonathan Ophir and Uri Chaitchik shall tender their resignations as Chief Investment Officer and Senior Consultant, respectively, effective upon closing of the Sunorange Investment; and (iii) Mitch Garber, Gustavo Schwed and Nadav Zohar shall tender their resignations as directors, to be effective upon expiration of the Waiting Period and whose vacancies shall be filled by New Management.

 

On May 8, 2023, we completed the closing of the Sunorange Investment after our shareholders approved of certain proposals at the 2023 EGM, and after certain closing conditions were met, including but not limited to: (i) a minimum of $30 million remaining in the Trust Account after accounting for all redemptions in connection with the 2023 EGM; (ii) us obtaining or extending a directors and officers insurance policy on terms satisfactory to the parties; (iii) the conversion of Class B Ordinary Shares into Class A Ordinary Shares as needed to retain shareholders and meet continued listing requirements of Nasdaq in the event that the 2023 Extension is approved; (iv) the amendment of the Sponsor’s existing limited partnership agreement; (v) the transfer of 61,875 Class B Ordinary Shares from certain of our directors to Sunorange or its designees and (vi) the cancellation of the outstanding Working Capital Loan from the Sponsor and the reduction of certain advisory fees to be due upon the closing of an initial Business Combination.

 

In connection with the closing of the Sunorange Investment, on May 8, 2023, Sunorange caused $300,000 to be deposited into the Trust Account to support the first three months of the 2023 Extension. Sunorange has agreed to deposit into the Trust Account an additional $100,000 for each successive month, or portion thereof, that is needed by us to complete an initial Business Combination until May 8, 2024. Through March 31, 2024, $1,100,000 has been deposited into the Trust Account in support of the 2023 Extension.

 

2023 Extension of Our Combination Period

 

On May 8, 2023, we held the 2023 EGM to amend our Amended and Restated Memorandum to: (i) approve the 2023 Extension and (ii) to entitle holders of Class B Ordinary Shares to convert such shares into Class A Ordinary Shares prior to the closing of an initial Business Combination at the election of the holder.

 

There were 21,712,500 of our Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding on April 14, 2023, the record date for the 2023 EGM. At the 2023 EGM, there were 14,402,264 ordinary shares present in person or by proxy, representing approximately 66.33% of the total Ordinary Shares outstanding as of the record date, which constituted a quorum.

 

Shareholders holding 12,626,668 Class A Ordinary Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in our Trust Account. These shares were redeemed for approximately $10.50 per share for a total redemption value paid from the Trust Account of approximately $132,616,922.

 

In connection with the 2023 EGM and pursuant to the Investment Agreement, Sunorange will contribute to us loans of the lesser of (i) $100,000 or (ii) $0.033 for each Public Share that is not redeemed for each calendar month (commencing on May 8, 2023 and ending on the 8th day of each subsequent month), or portion thereof, that is needed by us to complete an initial Business Combination until May 8, 2024.

 

27
 

 

On June 2, 2023, we issued the June 2023 Promissory Note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,200,000 to the Sponsor, which will be deposited into the Trust Account for the benefit of each Public Share that was not redeemed in connection with our May 8, 2023 shareholder vote to approve the 2023 Extension. The Sponsor agreed to pay $100,000 per month until the completion of an initial Business Combination, commencing on May 8, 2023 and continuing through May 8, 2024. The June 2023 Promissory Note bears no interest and is due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which we consummate our Business Combination and (ii) the date that our winding up is effective. At the election of the Sponsor, up to $1,200,000 of the unpaid principal amount of the June 2023 Promissory Note may be converted into Conversion Warrants at a conversion price of $1.00 per Warrant. The Conversion Warrants shall be identical to the Private Placement Warrants issued by us at the IPO. We have determined that the fair value of the June 2023 Promissory Note is its face value as the note was not issued with a substantial premium. The Sponsor funded the first three months of the June 2023 Promissory Note in its first payment. As of March 31, 2024 and May 17, 2024, the Trust Account had received an aggregate of $1,100,000 and $1,200,000, respectively, to support the 2023 Extension on behalf of the Company. As of March 31, 2024 and May 17, 2024, the outstanding balance of the June 2023 Promissory Note was $1,000,000 and $1,100,000, respectively, and no interest was accrued.

 

Founder Share Conversion

 

On May 8, 2023, we issued an aggregate of 4,237,499 Founder Shares to the Sponsor upon the Founder Share Conversion.

 

Also on May 8, 2023, we issued an aggregate of 75,000 Class A Ordinary Shares to our former independent directors and the holders of our 75,000 Class B Ordinary Shares upon the conversion of an equal number of shares of Class B Ordinary Shares. On the same day, in connection with the closing of the Sunorange Investment, the Class A Ordinary Shares held by the directors were transferred to designees of Sunorange.

 

The Class A Ordinary Shares issued in connection with the Founder Share Conversion are subject to the same restrictions as applied to the Class B Ordinary Shares before the Founder Share Conversion, including, among other things, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of an initial Business Combination as described in the IPO Registration Statement. Following the Conversion, there were 9,085,831 Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding and one Class B Ordinary Share issued and outstanding. As a result of the Founder Share Conversion, the Sponsor and certain designees of Sunorange hold, in the aggregate, approximately 47.5% of our Class A Ordinary Shares that are outstanding.

 

Scage Business Combination

 

On August 21, 2023, we entered into the Scage Business Combination Agreement with Pubco, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub and Scage. The Scage Business Combination Agreement was unanimously approved by our Board of Directors. If the Scage Business Combination Agreement is approved by our stockholders, and the Scage Business Combination is consummated, (i) First Merger Sub will merge with and into Scage, with Scage surviving the First Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco and the outstanding securities of Scage being converted into the right to receive securities of Pubco; and (ii) immediately following the First Merger, Second Merger Sub will merge with and into our Company, with our Company surviving the Second Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco and the outstanding securities of our Company being converted into the right to receive securities of Pubco.

 

For a full description of the Scage Business Combination Agreement and the proposed Scage Business Combination, please see “Item 1. Business” of our 2023 Annual Report.

 

Results of Operations

 

As of March 31, 2024, we have not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from March 15, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2024, relates to our formation and Initial Public Offering that occurred on November 8, 2021, and, since the completion of the Initial Public Offering, searching for a target to consummate an initial Business Combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of an initial Business Combination, at the earliest. We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering and placed in the Trust Account. There has been no significant change in our financial or trading position and no material adverse change has occurred since the date of our audited financial statements, December 31, 2023.

 

28
 

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we had a net income of $242,095 consisting of $563,298 in interest earned on the bank account and the investment held in Trust Account offset by $321,203 in operating, general and administrative expenses.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we had a net income of $1,608,034, consisting of $1,910,298 in interest earned on the bank account and the investment held in Trust Account offset by $302,264 in operating, general and administrative expenses.

 

Factors That May Adversely Affect our Results of Operations

 

Our results of operations and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond our control. Our business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, increases in interest rates, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, public health considerations, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. We cannot at this time predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact our business and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination.

 

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

 

As of March 31, 2024, we had cash outside our Trust Account of $5,436 available for working capital needs. All remaining cash was held in the Trust Account and is generally unavailable for our use prior to our initial Business Combination.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we used $261,957 in operating activities, which was largely driven by $563,129 in interest earned on our investments held in the Trust Account offset by $242,095 in net income.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we used $300,000 in our investing activities, which was driven by $300,000 in extension contributions.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we were provided $567,356 in our financing activities, which was the result of $567,356 in proceeds from our promissory notes.

 

As noted above, pursuant to our Initial Public Offering on November 8, 2021 and the full exercise of the over-allotment option on November 12, 2021, we sold 17,250,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to us of $172,500,000. These funds as well as a portion of the $8,800,000 in proceeds from the sale of Private Placement Warrants were placed in the Trust Account such that the Trust Account held an aggregate of $175,900,000, or $10.20 per Unit, as of November 12, 2021. These funds are to be invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 180 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company. As of March 31, 2024, $52,063,473 of the Initial Public Offering proceeds as well as interest earned thereon were held in The Trust Account.

 

On November 1, 2023, we instructed Continental to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at Morgan Stanley with Continental continuing to act as trustee, until the earlier of the consummation of our initial Business Combination or our liquidation. As a result, following the liquidation of investments in the Trust Account, the remaining proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement are no longer invested in U.S. government securities or money market funds invested in U.S. government securities.

 

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, our Initial Shareholders or their affiliates or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete our initial Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts (subject to the conversion rights described below). In the event that our initial Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may at the option of the lender determined at the time of the loan be convertible into Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Warrant of the post-initial Business Combination entity. The Warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period of the underlying Warrants. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Working Capital Loan, respectively.

 

29
 

 

On May 8, 2023, in connection with the Sunorange Investment, the Working Capital Loan and all amounts outstanding thereunder were canceled in full. This was deemed to be a benefit to us under SAB Topic 5T. In order to recognize this benefit, we de-recognized the outstanding promissory note and reclassified it to additional paid-in capital, as an in-substance capital contribution.

 

On November 8, 2023, we issued the November 2023 Promissory Note in the principal amount of up to $1,500,000 to Sunorange. The November 2023 Promissory Note was issued in connection with advances made by Sunorange since May 8, 2023 and advances Sunorange may make in the future to us for working capital expenses. The November 2023 Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and payable upon the earlier of (i) the date of the consummation of the Business Combination or (ii) the date of our liquidation. As of March 31, 2024, we had $709,859 outstanding under the November 2023 Promissory Note.

 

On January 26, 2024, we issued the January 2024 Promissory Note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,500,000 to Scage, for the Company’s working capital needs, including but not limited to any payment obligations to support the 2023 Extension. The note does not bear interest and matures upon the earlier of the closing of an initial Business Combination by the Company and the Company’s liquidation. As of March 31, 2024, we had $200,000 outstanding under the January 2024 Promissory Note.

 

We could use a portion of the funds not being placed in the Trust Account to pay commitment fees for financing, fees to consultants to assist us with our search for a target business or as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision (a provision designed to keep target businesses from “shopping” around for transactions with other companies or investors on terms more favorable to such target businesses) with respect to a particular proposed initial Business Combination, although we do not have any current intention to do so. If we entered into an agreement where we paid for the right to receive exclusivity from a target business, the amount that would be used as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision would be determined based on the terms of the specific initial Business Combination and the amount of our available funds at the time. Our forfeiture of such funds (whether as a result of our breach or otherwise) could result in our not having sufficient funds to continue searching for, or conducting due diligence with respect to, prospective target businesses.

 

As agreed by the shareholders at the 2023 EGM and the 2024 EGM, we have until November 8, 2024 to complete a Business Combination.

 

If we are not able to consummate a Business Combination before November 8, 2024, we will commence an automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation. Our Management has determined that the automatic liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution also raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time within one year after the date that the unaudited condensed financial statements are issued. While Management intends to complete a Business Combination on or before November 8, 2024, it is uncertain whether we will be able to do so. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after November 8, 2024.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

 

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2024 as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

As of March 31, 2024, we did not have any long-term debt, capital or operating lease obligations.

 

We have entered into an Administrative Services Agreement pursuant to which we are paying our sponsor for office space, utilities and administrative support services, in the amount of $3,000 per month.

 

We have engaged EarlyBirdCapital as an advisor in connection with our initial Business Combination to assist us in holding meetings with our shareholders to discuss the potential initial Business Combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce us to potential investors that are interested in purchasing our securities in connection with our initial Business Combination, assist us in obtaining shareholder approval for the initial Business Combination and assist us with our press releases and public filings in connection with the initial Business Combination. In connection with the Sunorange Investment, we have agreed to pay EarlyBirdCapital a reduced cash fee for such services upon the consummation of our initial Business Combination in an amount equal to 1.75% of the gross proceeds of our IPO (exclusive of any applicable finders’ fees which might become payable).

 

30
 

 

We previously engaged a third-party consultant to provide us with assistance in various aspects of our potential Business Combination. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, we have agreed to pay a contingent fee of at least $3,500,000 if we consummate a Business Combination. No expense for which has been included in the unaudited condensed financial statements related to this agreement. No expense has been recorded in the unaudited condensed financial statements related to this agreement, nor is any due.

 

On August 29, 2023, the Company engaged a third-party consultant to provide the Company with introduction to potential targets for its Business Combination. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company has agreed to pay a contingent fee of 0.5% of the implied enterprise value of the target if the Company consummates a Business Combination. As the Business Combination is not considered probable, no expense for which has been included in the unaudited condensed financial statements related to this agreement.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with 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 income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. As of the end of the reporting period, we have not identified any critical accounting estimates.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources are based on our audited financial information. We describe our significant accounting policies in “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements included in this Report” with those considered critical outlined below. Our audited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Certain of our accounting policies require that Management applies significant judgments in defining the appropriate assumptions integral to financial estimates. On an ongoing basis, Management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our unaudited condensed financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. Judgments are based on historical experience, terms of existing contracts, industry trends and information available from outside sources, as appropriate. However, by their nature, judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty, and, therefore, actual results could differ from our estimates.

 

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 FASB ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary Shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Ordinary Shares are classified as shareholder’s equity. Our Class A Ordinary Shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholder’s equity section of the balance sheet.

 

Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable Ordinary Shares are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.

 

31
 

 

Net Income Per Ordinary Share

 

We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. We have two classes of shares, redeemable Ordinary Shares and non-redeemable Ordinary Shares. Our redeemable Ordinary Shares are comprised of Class A Ordinary Shares sold in the Initial Public Offering. Our non-redeemable shares are comprised of Class A Ordinary Shares held by EarlyBirdCapital and Class B Ordinary Shares purchased by the sponsor which were converted to Class A Ordinary Shares in May 2023. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Our statement of operations applies the two-class method in calculating net income per share. Basic and diluted net income per share for redeemable Ordinary Shares and non-redeemable Ordinary Shares is calculated by dividing net income, allocated proportionally to each class of Ordinary Shares, attributable to us by the weighted average number of shares of redeemable and non-redeemable Ordinary Shares outstanding.

 

The calculation of diluted income per Ordinary Share does not consider the effect of the Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering since exercise of the Warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such rights would be anti-dilutive. Accretion of the carrying value of Class A Ordinary Shares to redemption value is excluded from net income per redeemable share because the redemption value approximates fair value. As a result, diluted income per share is the same as basic income per share for the period presented.

 

Recent Accounting Standards

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASU 2020-06”). The update simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models in Subtopic 470-20, “Debt— Debt with Conversion and Other Options” for convertible instruments and introducing other changes. As a result of ASU 2020-06, more convertible debt instruments will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost and more convertible preference shares will be accounted for as a single equity instrument measured at its historical cost, as long as no features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. The amendments are effective for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2024. There was no material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03. ASU 2022-03 amends ASC 820 to clarify that a contractual sales restriction is not considered in measuring an equity security at fair value and to introduce new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value. ASU 2022-03 applies to both holders and issuers of equity and Equity-Linked Securities measured at fair value. The amendments in ASU 2022-03 are effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. We adopted ASU 2022-03 on January 1, 2024. There was no material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) — Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”) in order to enhance the transparency and usefulness of income tax disclosures. The guidance is applicable to all entities subject to income tax, and it will require disclosure of certain categories within the rate reconciliation to improve consistency as well as disclosure of reconciling items which meet a certain quantitative threshold which will improve transparency. Additionally, entities must disclose the amount of taxes paid to federal, state and foreign municipalities. For public business entities ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently evaluating the impact of its pending adoption of ASU 2023-09 on our financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosure.

 

We do not believe that any other recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our unaudited condensed financial statements contained elsewhere in this Report.

 

JOBS Act

 

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

 

32
 

 

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an independent registered public accounting firm’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the independent registered public accounting firm’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 controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (together, the “Certifying Officers”), 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 Certifying Officers, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on the foregoing, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the quarterly period ended March 31, 2024, due to material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting of complex financial instruments, recognition of billed and unbilled professional fees, recognition of prepaid expenses, classification of related party payables and accounting for related party notes payable as further described below.

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Specifically, we concluded that our controls over recognition of billed and unbilled professional fees, recognition of prepaid expenses, the classification of related party payables, and accounting for related party notes payable was not effectively designed or maintained. Our Management performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our unaudited condensed financial statements included in this Report were prepared in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, Management believes that the unaudited condensed financial statements included in this Report present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the periods presented.

 

In light of the material weakness described above, our Management Team has performed additional accounting and financial analyses and other post-closing procedures. We have enhanced, and will continue to enhance, internal controls and procedures, including access to accounting literature, identification and consideration of third-party professionals with whom to consult regarding complex accounting applications and implantation of additional layers of reviews in the financial close process. While we have processes to properly identify and evaluate the appropriate accounting technical pronouncements and other literature for all significant or unusual transactions, we plan to continue to improve these processes to ensure that the nuances of such transactions are effectively evaluated in the context of the increasingly complex accounting standards.

 

33
 

 

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

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Other than as discussed above, there have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended March 31, 2024 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

To the knowledge of our Management Team, there is no material litigation currently pending or contemplated against us, any of our officers or directors in their capacity as such or against any of our property.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

As a smaller reporting company under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to include risk factors in this Report. For additional risks relating to our operations, other than as set forth below, see the section titled “Risk Factors” contained in our (i) Registration Statement on Form S-1 initially filed with the SEC on October 15, 2021, as amended, and declared effective on November 3, 2021 (the “IPO Registration Statement”), (ii) 2023 Annual Report and (iii) Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, and September 30, 2023 as filed with the SEC on May 22, 2023, November 6, 2023, and December 14, 2023, respectively. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risks could arise that may also affect our business or ability to consummate an initial Business Combination. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

 

For risks related to Scage and the Scage Business Combination, please see the Registration Statement on Form F-4 to be filed with the SEC in connection with the Scage Business Combination.

 

We have received a notice from the Staff of Nasdaq notifying us that we were not in compliance with the Minimum Total Holders Requirement. If we cannot regain compliance, our securities will be subject to delisting, and the liquidity and the trading price of our securities could be adversely affected.

 

On May 6, 2024, we received a deficiency notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of Nasdaq notifying us that since it was first notified on October 9, 2023, we had not regained compliance with the Minimum Total Holders Requirement, which requires a company listed on The Nasdaq Global Market to have a minimum of 400 total shareholders, by the end of the 180-day extension period ended April 8, 2024. Pursuant to the Notice, our securities may be subject to suspension and delisting pending the outcome of a hearing before the Panel, which we requested on May 13, 2024. Our hearing request has stayed the suspension of our securities, and our securities will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Global Market until the hearing process concludes and the Panel issues a written decision.

 

If Nasdaq delists our securities from trading on its exchange and we are not able to list our securities on another national securities exchange, we expect our securities could be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

 

a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;
reduced liquidity for our securities;
a determination that our Class A Ordinary Shares are a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our Class A Ordinary Shares to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities;
a limited amount of news and analyst coverage;
a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future; and
being subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities, including in connection with our initial Business Combination.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

None.

 

Use of Proceeds

 

For a description of the use of proceeds generated in our Initial Public Offering and Private Palcement, see Part II, Item 2 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2022, as filed with the SEC on November 10, 2022. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our Initial Public Offering and Private Placement as described in the IPO Registration Statement. The specific investments in our Trust Account may change from time to time.

 

On November 1, 2023, we instructed Continental to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at Morgan Stanley, with Continental continuing to act as trustee, until the earlier of the consummation of our initial Business Combination or our liquidation. As a result, following the liquidation of investments in the Trust Account, the remaining proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement are no longer invested in U.S. government securities or money market funds invested in U.S. government securities.

 

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers

 

There were no such repurchases of our equity securities by us or an affiliate during the quarterly period covered by this Report.

 

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

 

None.

 

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 5. Other Information

 

Trading Arrangements

 

During the quarterly period ended March 31, 2024, none of our directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act) adopted or terminated any “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or any “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K.

Exhibit 10.2

 

THIS PROMISSORY NOTE (“NOTE”) HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”). THIS NOTE HAS BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT ONLY AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF REGISTRATION OF THE RESALE THEREOF UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY IN FORM, SCOPE AND SUBSTANCE TO THE MAKER THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

 

PROMISSORY NOTE

 

  Dated as of May 15, 2024
   
Principal Amount: up to $225,000 New York, New York

 

Finnovate Acquisition Corp., a special purpose acquisition company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Maker”), promises to pay to the order of Finnovate Sponsor, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, or its registered assigns or successors in interest (the “Payee”), the principal sum of up to Two Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand U.S. Dollars ($225,000), in lawful money of the United States of America, on the terms and conditions described below. As of the date of this Note, Thirty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred U.S. Dollars ($37,500) have been funded by the Payee. All payments on this Note shall be made by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim, to such account as the Payee may from time to time designate by written notice in accordance with the provisions of this Note. This Note is being made in connection with Maker extending its termination date of May 8, 2024 for an additional six (6) months to November 8, 2024 (the “Extension”).

 

1. Maturity. The principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable by the Maker upon the closing of a Repayment/Conversion Trigger Event, as such term is defined below (the “Maturity Date”). The principal balance may be prepaid at any time prior to the Maturity Date without penalty upon written notice by the Maker to the Payee.

 

(a) Each of the following shall constitute a “Repayment/Conversion Trigger Event”:

 

  (i) the closing of a merger, consolidation or other business combination pursuant to which the Maker acquires an entity for its initial business combination (a “DeSPAC Transaction”); or
     
  (ii) subject to the terms below, the liquidation of the Maker on or before November 8, 2024 or such later liquidation date as may be approved by Maker’s stockholders (a “Liquidation”), that occurs while the Note is outstanding or any time thereafter prior to the repayment of the Note.

 

Under no circumstances whatsoever shall any individual, including, but not limited to, any officer, director, employee or stockholder of the Maker, be obligated personally for any obligations or liabilities of the Maker hereunder.

 

(b) Form of Repayment. All amounts due under this Note shall be repaid in cash.

 

2. Interest. No interest shall accrue or be charged by Payee on the unpaid principal balance of this Note.

 

3. Drawdown Requests. The Payee will fund up to Two Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand U.S. Dollars ($225,000) into the trust account (the “Trust Account”) of the Maker established in connection with its initial public offering (“the “IPO”), such amounts to be for the benefit of the Maker’s holders of unredeemed Class A ordinary shares upon redemption or liquidation of the Maker, all in accordance with the Maker’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. As of the date hereof, Payee has funded Thirty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred U.S. Dollars ($37,500) under this Note. Beginning in May 2024, the remaining principal of this Note which has not yet been funded may be drawn down in up to six amounts of approximately $37,500 per withdrawal, upon written request from the Maker to the Payee (each, a “Drawdown Request”). Each Drawdown Request must be made before the 8th day of each applicable month and state the amount to be drawn down. The precise amount of each Drawdown Request may vary as needed, in Maker’s discretion, to satisfy the monthly portion of funds to be deposited in the Trust Account. The Payee, in its sole discretion, shall fund each Drawdown Request via a wire transfer directly to the Trust Account no later than seven (7) calendar days from the 8th day of each applicable month; provided, however, that the maximum amount of drawdowns collectively under this Note shall not exceed Two Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand U.S. Dollars ($225,000). Once an amount is drawn down under this Note, it shall not be available for future Drawdown Requests. As of the date hereof, Payee has funded $37,500, and $187,500 is available for future Drawdown Requests.] Except as set forth herein, no fees, payments or other amounts shall be due to the Payee in connection with, or as a result of, any Drawdown Request by the Maker.

 

 

 

 

4. Application of Payments. All payments shall be applied first to payment in full of any costs incurred in the collection of any sum due under this Note, including (without limitation) reasonable attorneys’ fees, then to the payment in full of any late charges, and finally to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Note.

 

5. Use of Proceeds. The Maker hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Payee, that the entire principal amount will be used by the Maker solely for purposes of making a payment to the Trust Account for the Extension.

 

6. Events of Default. The following shall constitute an event of default (“Event of Default”):

 

(a) Failure to Make Required Payments. Failure by Maker to pay any principal amount due pursuant to this Note within five (5) business days of the Maturity Date.

 

(b) Breach of Use of Proceeds. Failure by Maker to comply with the provisions of Section 5 of this Note.

 

(c) Voluntary Bankruptcy, Etc. The commencement by Maker of a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, rehabilitation or other similar law, or the consent by it to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or other similar official) of Maker or for any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the failure of Maker generally to pay its debts as such debts become due, or the taking of corporate action by Maker in furtherance of any of the foregoing.

 

(d) Involuntary Bankruptcy, Etc. The entry of a decree or order for relief by a court having competent jurisdiction in respect of Maker in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of Maker or for any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days.

 

7. Remedies.

 

(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 6(a) or Section 6(b) hereof, Payee may, by written notice to Maker, declare this Note to be due immediately and payable, whereupon the unpaid principal amount of this Note, and all other amounts payable hereunder, shall become immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein or in the documents evidencing the same to the contrary notwithstanding.

 

(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Sections 6(c) and 6(d), the unpaid principal balance of this Note, and all other sums payable with regard to this Note, shall automatically and immediately become due and payable, in all cases without any action on the part of Payee.

 

8. Enforcement Costs. In case any principal of this Note is not paid when due, Maker shall be liable for all costs of enforcement and collection of this Note incurred by the Payee and any other Holders, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.

 

9. Waivers. Maker and all endorsers and guarantors of, and sureties for, this Note waive presentment for payment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, and notice of protest with regard to the Note, all errors, defects and imperfections in any proceedings instituted by Payee under the terms of this Note, and all benefits that might accrue to Maker by virtue of any present or future laws exempting any property, real or personal, or any part of the proceeds arising from any sale of any such property, from attachment, levy or sale under execution, or providing for any stay of execution, exemption from civil process, or extension of time for payment; and Maker agrees that any real estate that may be levied upon pursuant to a judgment obtained by virtue hereof or any writ of execution issued hereon, may be sold upon any such writ in whole or in part in any order desired by Payee.

 

 

 

 

10. Unconditional Liability. Maker hereby waives all notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default, or enforcement of the payment of this Note, and agrees that its liability shall be unconditional, without regard to the liability of any other party, and shall not be affected in any manner by any indulgence, extension of time, renewal, waiver or modification granted or consented to by Payee, and consents to any and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers, or modifications that may be granted by Payee with respect to the payment or other provisions of this Note, and agrees that additional makers, endorsers, guarantors, or sureties may become parties hereto without notice to Maker or affecting Maker’s liability hereunder. Any failure of the Payee to exercise any right hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver of the right to exercise the same or any other right at any time and from time to time thereafter. The Payee may accept late payments, or partial payments, even though marked “payment in full” or containing words of similar import or other conditions, without waiving any of its rights.

 

11. Notices. All notices, statements or other documents which are required or contemplated by this Note shall be made in writing and delivered (at the sender’s sole cost and expense) by one of the following means: (a) personally (b) by first-class registered or certified postal mail, return receipt requested (c) through overnight courier or next-day delivery service (d) via facsimile or (e) by electronic transmission to the e-mail address designated.

ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND

 

Organization and General

 

Finnovate Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on March 15, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

 

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from March 15, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2024 relates to the Company’s formation and its initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering” or “IPO”) described below, and, since the IPO, the search for a target for its Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

 

IPO

 

On November 8, 2021, the Company completed the sale of 15,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”) included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per Unit. On November 12, 2021, the Company closed on the full over-allotment resulting in the sale of an additional 2,250,000 Units. The IPO and subsequent exercise of the over- allotment generated gross proceeds of $172,500,000, which is described in Note 3. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A Ordinary Shares and three-quarters of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”).

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the sale of 7,900,000 private placement warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) to Finnovate Sponsor, LP (the “Sponsor”) as well as to EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (“EarlyBirdCapital”). On November 12, 2021, pursuant to the full exercise of the over- allotment option, the Sponsor purchased an additional 900,000 Private Placement Warrants. The IPO and subsequent exercise of the over-allotment generated gross proceeds of $8,800,000 from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants.

 

Following the closing of the IPO on November 8, 2021 and the subsequent exercise of the over-allotment option, $175,950,000 ($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”), located in the United States at a nationally recognized financial institution, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”) acting as trustee, and invested only in 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. Pursuant to the trust agreement, the trustee will not be permitted to invest in other securities or assets. The Trust Account is intended as a holding place for funds pending the earliest to occur of either: (i) the completion of the Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of any Public Shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Amended and Restated Memorandum”) to (A) modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Business Combination or to redeem the Public Shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-Business Combination activity; and (iii) the redemption of all of the Public Shares if the Company is unable to complete the Business Combination by November 8, 2024, subject to applicable law. If the Company does not invest the proceeds as discussed above, the Company may be deemed to be subject to the Investment Company Act.

 

 

Initial Business Combination

 

The Company’s executive officers and directors (“Management” or “Management Team”) has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete a Business Combination with one or more operating businesses or assets that together have an aggregate fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account as defined below (excluding the underwriting commissions 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 its Business Combination. 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 an interest in the target business or assets sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company.

 

The Company will provide its holders of its Public Shares, including the holders of its Founder Shares (as defined below) prior to the Initial Public Offering (the “Initial Shareholders”) and Management Team to the extent its Initial Shareholders and/or the members of the Management Team purchase Public Shares, provided that each Initial Shareholder’s and member of its Management Team’s status as a “Public Shareholder” will only exist with respect to such Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the Business Combination at a per-share 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 funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay taxes (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations described herein.

 

The amount in the Trust Account is $11.26 per Public Share as of March 31, 2024. The per-share amount the Company will distribute to investors who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriter. The redemption rights will include the requirement that a beneficial holder must identify itself in order to validly redeem its shares. There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of the Business Combination with respect to the warrants. The Company’s initial shareholders, directors and officers have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to the 4,312,500 shares of Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Ordinary Shares”) purchased in March 2021 (the “Founder Shares”, described in more detail in Note 5) and Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of the Business Combination.

 

The Company will only proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 either prior to or upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required by applicable law or stock exchange rules and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum 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 applicable law or stock exchange rules, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or other reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares, and any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction or do not vote at all.

 

Notwithstanding the above, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Amended and Restated Memorandum 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% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

 

The Sponsor has agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to its Founder Shares and Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders rights or pre- Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

 

 

The Company will have until November 8, 2024 to complete a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”, see Note 10). If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within 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 and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors (“Board” or “Board of Directors”), dissolve and liquidate, 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. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

 

The Sponsor has agreed to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor acquires Public Shares in or after the IPO, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriter has agreed to waive its right to its underwriting commission (see Note 8) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within 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 assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the IPO price per Unit ($10.00).

 

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party 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, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (1) $10.20 per Public Share or (2) such 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 the interest which may be withdrawn to pay franchise and income taxes. This liability will not apply with respect to claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriter of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, 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 (except the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses and 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.

 

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

 

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $5,436 in its operating bank account and a working capital deficit of $3,417,916. The Company’s liquidity needs up to March 31, 2024 had been satisfied by payment from the Sponsor for the Founder Shares, a loan under an unsecured promissory note from the Sponsor of up to $250,000 (the “March 2021 Promissory Note”), drawdowns against the available working capital loan (the “Working Capital Loan”), as well as advances and payments made on behalf of the Company by related parties. The March 2021 Promissory Note was fully repaid as of November 8, 2021.

 

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company with funds as may be required (Working Capital Loans, described in more detail in Note 5). As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had nothing outstanding under the Working Capital Loan.

 

 

On June 2, 2023, the Company issued a promissory note (the “June 2023 Promissory Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,200,000 to the Sponsor, the proceeds from which will be deposited into the Trust Account for the benefit of each Public Share that was not redeemed in connection with the Company’s May 8, 2023 shareholder vote to approve an extension of the Company’s termination date from May 8, 2023 to May 8, 2024 (the “2023 Extension”). The Sponsor agreed to pay $100,000 per month until the completion of an initial Business Combination, commencing on May 8, 2023 and continuing through May 8, 2024. The June 2023 Promissory Note bears no interest and is due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which the Company consummates its Business Combination and (ii) the date that the winding up of the Company is effective. At the election of the Sponsor, up to $1,200,000 of the unpaid principal amount of the June 2023 Promissory Note may be converted into warrants of the Company (the “Conversion Warrants”) at a conversion price of $1.00 per warrant. The Conversion Warrants shall be identical to the Private Placement Warrants issued by the Company at the IPO. The Company has determined that the fair value of the June 2023 Promissory Note is its face value as the note was not issued with a substantial premium. The Sponsor funded the first three months of the June 2023 Promissory Note in its first payment. As of March 31, 2024, the outstanding balance of the June 2023 Promissory Note was $1,000,000, and no interest was accrued. If the Company is not able to consummate a Business Combination before November 8, 2024, the Company will commence an automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation (see Note 10). Management has determined that automatic liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution also raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. While Management intends to complete a Business Combination on or before November 8, 2024, it is uncertain whether the Company will be able to do so. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after November 8, 2024.

 

On November 8, 2023, the Company issued a promissory note in the principal amount of up to $1,500,000 to Sunorange (the “November 2023 Promissory Note”). The note is non-interest bearing and is due on the earlier of consummation of the Business Combination or liquidation. The November 2023 Promissory Note was issued in connection with advances made by Sunorange since May 8, 2023 and advances Sunorange may make in the future to the Company for working capital expenses. The November 2023 Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and payable upon the earlier of (i) the date of the consummation of the Business Combination or (ii) the date of the Company’s liquidation. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $709,859 outstanding under the November 2023 Promissory Note included in the Working capital loan – related party line of the balance sheet.

 

On January 26, 2024, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “January 2024 Promissory Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,500,000 to Scage, a party to the Business Combination Agreement entered into by the Company, Scage, and other parties on August 21, 2023 (the “Scage Business Combination Agreement”), for the Company’s working capital needs. The January 2024 Promissory Note does not bear interest and matures upon the earlier of the closing of an initial Business Combination by the Company and the Company’s liquidation. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $200,000 outstanding under the January 2024 Promissory Note.

 

These conditions, involving liquidity concerns and mandatory liquidation, raise 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 unaudited condensed financial statements are issued. There is no assurance that the Company’s plan to consummate a Business Combination will be successful or successful within the Combination Period. The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Sunorange Investment

 

On April 27, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with the Sponsor and Sunorange Limited (the “Sunorange”), pursuant to which Sunorange and its designees acquired partnership interests in the Sponsor and Class B Ordinary Shares directly held by certain Company directors, which combined interests entitled Sunorange to receive, in the aggregate, 3,557,813 Class B Ordinary Shares and 6,160,000 Private Placement Warrants (collectively, the “Insider Securities”), and the Company introduced a change in Management and the Board as follows: (i) Calvin Kung shall replace David Gershon as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and Wang Chiu (Tommy) Wong shall replace Ron Golan as Chief Financial Officer and director on the Board, effective upon closing of the Sunorange Investment (as defined herein); (ii) Jonathan Ophir and Uri Chaitchik tendered their resignations as Chief Investment Officer and Senior Consultant, respectively, effective upon closing of the Sunorange Investment; and (iii) Mitch Garber, Gustavo Schwed and Nadav Zohar tendered their resignations as directors, effective upon expiration of all applicable waiting periods under Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 thereunder (such period of time being referred to herein as the “Waiting Period”), and whose vacancies were filled by individuals to be designated by Sunorange and effective upon expiration of the Waiting Period (such new officers and directors collectively referred to herein as the “New Management”). Sunorange’s acquisition of interests in the Insider Securities, the change to New Management and other transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the “Sunorange Investment.”

 

 

On May 8, 2023, the Company completed the closing of the Sunorange Investment after our shareholders approved certain proposals discussed below, and after certain closing conditions were met, including but not limited to: (i) a minimum of $30 million remaining in the Company’s Trust Account after accounting for all redemptions in connection with the Company’s extraordinary general meeting of shareholders on May 8, 2023 (the “2023 EGM”); (ii) the Company obtaining or extending a D&O insurance policy on terms satisfactory to the parties; (iii) the conversion of Class B Ordinary Shares into Class A Ordinary Shares as needed to retain shareholders and meet continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) in the event that the 2023 Extension is approved; (iv) the amendment of the Sponsor’s existing limited partnership agreement; (v) the transfer of 61,875 Class B Ordinary Shares from certain Company directors to Sunorange or its designees and (vi) the cancellation of the outstanding Working Capital Loan from the Sponsor and the reduction of certain advisory fees to be due upon the closing of an initial Business Combination.

 

In connection with the closing of the Sunorange Investment, on May 8, 2023, Sunorange caused $300,000 to be deposited into the Trust Account to support the first three months of the 2023 Extension from May 9, 2023 through August 8, 2023 (see Note 5). Sunorange also agreed to cause to be deposited into the Trust Account an additional $100,000 for each successive month, or portion thereof, that is needed by the Company to complete an initial Business Combination until May 8, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, $1,100,000 has been deposited into the Trust Account in support of the 2023 Extension.

 

Business Combination Agreement

 

On August 21, 2023, the Company and Scage International Limited (“Scage”) entered into the Scage Business Combination Agreement. Scage is a zero-emission solution provider in China, focusing on the development and commercialization of heavy-duty NEV trucks and e-fuel solutions. Upon consummation of the two mergers and the other transaction contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Scage Business Combination”), Scage Future, a newly formed holding company (“Pubco”) will seek to be listed on Nasdaq. The outstanding securities of Scage and the Company will be converted into the right to receive securities of Pubco. The transaction represents a post-Business Combination valuation of $1.0 billion ($1,000,000,000) for Scage upon closing of the Scage Business Combination, subject to adjustment.

 

On August 29, 2023, the Company engaged a third-party consultant to provide the Company with an introduction to potential targets for its Business Combination. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company has agreed to pay a contingent fee of 0.5% of the implied enterprise value of the target if the Company consummates a Business Combination.

 

Lock-Up Agreements

 

Simultaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Pubco, Scage, the Company and certain shareholders of Scage (“Key Scage Shareholders”), as shareholders holding shares of Scage sufficient to constitute the Required Company Shareholder Approval (as that term is defined in the Business Combination Agreement) as the holder of record or the beneficial owner within the meaning of Rule 135-3 of the Exchange Act, each entered into Lock-Up Agreements (each, a “Key Seller Lock-Up Agreement”). It is a condition to the Closing that all stockholders of Scage between signing and Closing enter into a Lock-Up Agreement (each, a “Seller Lock-Up Agreement”).

 

Pursuant to each Key Seller Lock-Up Agreement, each Key Scage Shareholder agreed not to, during the period commencing from the date and time at which the Closing is actually held (the “Closing Date”) and ending on (A) the 6-month anniversary of the Closing Date with respect to 40% of the restricted securities and (B) the 36-month anniversary of the Closing Date with respect to the remaining 60% of the restricted securities, (i) lend, offer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, donate, assign, sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of or agree to transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase of a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any restricted securities, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Lock-up Securities (as that term is defined in the Business Combination Agreement), whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such restricted securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing, whether any such transaction described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above is to be settled by delivery of restricted securities or other securities, in cash or otherwise (any of the foregoing described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Prohibited Transfer”) (subject to early release if Pubco consummates a Change of Control (as that term is defined in the Business Combination Agreement)).

 

Pursuant to each Seller Lock-Up Agreement, the remaining Scage shareholders agreed not to make a Prohibited Transfer during the period commencing from the Closing Date and ending on the 6-month anniversary of the Closing Date (subject to early release if Pubco consummates a Change of Control).

 

 

Shareholder Support Agreement

 

Simultaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company, Scage, and Key Scage Shareholders entered into a Shareholder Support Agreement (the “Shareholder Support Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Key Scage Shareholders have agreed (a) to support the adoption of the Business Combination Agreement and the approval of the transactions contemplated therein, subject to certain customary conditions, and (b) not to transfer any of their subject shares (or enter into any arrangement with respect thereto), subject to certain customary conditions.

 

Sponsor Support Agreement

 

Simultaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company, Scage, Pubco and the Sponsor entered into a Sponsor Support Agreement (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”), pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to vote all of its shares of the Company in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein. The Sponsor Support Agreement also prevents transfers of securities of the Company held by the Sponsor between the date of the Sponsor Support Agreement and the termination of the Sponsor Support Agreement.

 

Insider Letter Amendment

 

Simultaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company, Scage, the Sponsor, Pubco, Calvin Kung, Wang Chiu Wong, Chunyi Hao, Tiemei Li, and Sanjay Prasad entered into an amendment (the “Insider Letter Amendment”) to that certain letter agreement, dated November 8, 2021 (the “Insider Letter”), by and among the Company, the Sponsor and the directors, officers or other initial shareholders of the Company named therein, pursuant to which Pubco and Scage are added as parties to the Insider Letter.

 

Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement

 

Simultaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, certain shareholders and officers (each, a “Subject Party”) of the Company each entered into a noncompetition and non-solicitation agreement with the Company, Pubco, Scage, and the Sponsor (collectively, the “Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement”). Under the Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement, the Subject Party agrees not to compete with Pubco, the Sponsor, the Company, Scage, and their respective affiliates during the three-year period following the Closing and, during such three-year restricted period, not to solicit employees or customers of such entities. The Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement also contains customary confidentiality and non-disparagement provisions.

 

Assignment, Assumption, and Amendment to Warrant Agreement

 

Prior to the Closing, the Company, Pubco and Continental, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”), will enter the Assignment, Assumption, and Amendment to Warrant Agreement (the “Warrant Amendment”), which will amend that certain Warrant Agreement, dated as of November 8, 2021, relating to the Company warrants (the “Warrant Agreement”), filed with the SEC on November 8, 2021. Pursuant to the Warrant Amendment: (i) Pubco will assume the obligations of the Company under the Warrant Agreement, such that, among other things, Pubco will be added as a party thereto and (ii) references to the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares in the Warrant Agreement shall mean Pubco ordinary shares.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

Our results of operations and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond our control. Our business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, increases in interest rates, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including resurgences and the emergence of new variants, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. 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 our business and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination.

 

Management is currently evaluating the impact of such risks and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that they could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations, close of the IPO 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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 as filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024 (the “2023 Annual Report”). The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or for any future periods.

 

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, 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 a 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 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 which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which 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 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

 

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 unaudited condensed financial statements, 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.

 

 

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 cash of $5,436 and $37 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

 

Investment Held in Trust Account

 

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the assets held in the Trust Account consisted of $52,063,473 and $51,200,344, respectively. The Company’s portfolio of investments is comprised of investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value. The investments in money market funds are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities is included in income on investments held in the Trust Account in the accompanying statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has not experienced losses on this account and Management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

 

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

 

The Company complies with the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A — “Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the IPO. Offering costs were charged to Shareholder’s Equity upon the completion of the IPO and subsequent exercise of the over-allotment. Accordingly, following the IPO on November 8, 2021 and subsequent exercise of the over-allotment on November 12, 2021, offering costs totaling $4,171,912 (consisting of $3,450,000 of underwriting fee, and $721,912 of other offering costs) have been charged to Shareholders’ Equity.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

 

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects Management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

 

Level 1 Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not being applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
     
Level 2 Valuations based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities, or (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market through correlation or other means.
     
Level 3 Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

 

 

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 Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”). Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares (collectively, “Ordinary Shares”) (including Ordinary Shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Ordinary Shares are classified as shareholder’s 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, Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholder’s equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.

 

Immediately upon the closing of the IPO, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable Ordinary Shares are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.

 

As a result of the shareholder vote held on May 8, 2023, 12,626,668 shareholders exercised their right to redemption which left a remainder of 4,623,332 Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption. These shareholders were paid an aggregate of $132,616,922, or $10.50 per share, on May 18, 2023.

 

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption reflected in the balance sheet is reconciled in the following table:

 

   March 31, 2024   December 31, 2023 
As of beginning of the period  $51,200,344   $178,531,059 
Plus:   -    - 
Remeasurement of carrying value to redemption value   563,129    4,486,207 
Extension Contributions   300,000    800,000 
Less:          
Redemptions of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption   -    (132,616,922)
   $52,063,473   $51,200,344 

 

Warrants

 

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own Ordinary Shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

 

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. The Company accounts for its outstanding warrants as equity-classified instruments.

  

Income Taxes

 

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the unaudited condensed financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

 

ASC 740 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. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

 

There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman 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.

 

Net Income Per Ordinary Share

 

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares outstanding during the period. The Company has two classes of shares, redeemable Ordinary Shares and non-redeemable Ordinary Shares. The Company’s redeemable Ordinary Shares are comprised of Class A shares sold in the IPO. The Company’s non-redeemable shares are comprised of Class A shares held by EarlyBirdCapital and Class B shares purchased by the Sponsor which were converted into Class A shares with their original legend in May 2023. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. The Company’s statement of operations applies the two-class method in calculating net income per share. Basic and diluted net income per share for redeemable Ordinary Shares and non-redeemable Ordinary Shares is calculated by dividing net income, allocated proportionally to each class of Ordinary Shares, attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of shares of redeemable and non-redeemable Ordinary Shares outstanding.

 

The calculation of diluted income per ordinary share does not consider the effect of the rights issued in connection with the IPO since exercise of the rights is contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such rights would be anti-dilutive. Accretion of the carrying value of Class A Ordinary Shares to redemption value is excluded from net income per redeemable share because the redemption value approximates fair value. As a result, diluted income per share is the same as basic loss per share for the period presented.

 

Accordingly, basic and diluted income per ordinary share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 is calculated as follows:

 

   Redeemable
Ordinary Shares
   Non-Redeemable
Ordinary Shares
   Redeemable

Weighted-average shares outstanding   4,623,332    4,462,500    17,400,000    4,312,500 
Basic and diluted net income per share  $0.03   $0.03   $0.07   $0.07 

 

 

Recent Accounting Standards

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASU 2020-06”). The update simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models in Subtopic 470-20, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options for convertible instruments and introducing other changes. As a result of ASU No. 2020-06, more convertible debt instruments will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost and more convertible preference shares will be accounted for as a single equity instrument measured at its historical cost, as long as no features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. The amendments are effective for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2024. There was no material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, ASC Subtopic 820 “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions” (“ASU 2022-03”). The ASU amends ASC 820 to clarify that a contractual sales restriction is not considered in measuring an equity security at fair value and to introduce new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value. The ASU applies to both holders and issuers of equity and Equity-Linked Securities measured at fair value. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company adopted ASU 2022-03 on January 1, 2024. There was no material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) — Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”) in order to enhance the transparency and usefulness of income tax disclosures. The guidance is applicable to all entities subject to income tax, and it will require disclosure of certain categories within the rate reconciliation to improve consistency as well as disclosure of reconciling items which meet a certain quantitative threshold which will improve transparency. Additionally, entities must disclose the amount of taxes paid to federal, state and foreign municipalities. For public business entities ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of its pending adoption of ASU 2023-09 on its financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosure.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not 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 November 8, 2021, the Company completed its IPO of 15,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option from the date of the IPO to purchase up to 2,250,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the IPO price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On November 12, 2021, the Company closed on the underwriters’ full exercise of their over-allotment option which resulted in the sale of an additional 2,250,000 Units. The IPO and subsequent over-allotment exercise generated gross proceeds of $172,500,000.

 

Each Unit consists of one share of Class A Ordinary Shares and three-quarters of one redeemable Public Warrant. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Ordinary Shares at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 9).

 

Following the closing of the IPO on November 8, 2021, and subsequent exercise of the over-allotment an aggregate of $175,950,000 ($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants in the IPO and over-allotment exercise was deposited into the Trust Account. As of March 31, 2024, the net proceeds deposited into the Trust Account are invested in an interest-bearing demand deposit account.

The Sponsor and EarlyBirdCapital agreed to purchase an aggregate of 7,900,000 Private Placement Warrants (7,400,000 bought by the Sponsor, and 500,000 bought by EarlyBirdCapital) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a Private Placement that occurred simultaneously with the closing of the IPO. Simultaneously with the closing of the sale of the Over-Allotment Units on November 12, 2021, the Company completed an additional private sale of an aggregate of 900,000 warrants (the “Additional Private Placement Warrants”) to the Sponsor, which purchased 843,038 such warrants, and the underwriter, which purchased 56,962 such warrants. As a result of the IPO and subsequent over-allotment exercise, an aggregate of 8,800,000 Private Placement Warrants were sold (8,243,038 to the Sponsor and 556,962 to EarlyBirdCapital) for gross proceeds of $8,800,000.

 

 

Each whole Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one whole share of Class A Ordinary Shares at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor have been added to the proceeds from the IPO to be held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

Founder Shares

 

In March 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000 (approximately $0.006 per share) in consideration for 4,312,500 shares of Class B Ordinary Shares with par value of $0.0001. Up to 562,500 of these Founder Shares were subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor if the underwriter’s over-allotment option was not exercised, so that the number of Founder Shares will collectively represent approximately 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the IPO. On November 12, 2021 the underwriter fully exercised the over- allotment option which resulted in the 562,500 shares no longer being subject to forfeiture.

 

The Sponsor and the Company’s directors and executive officers have agreed, subject to certain limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination and (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after a Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property.

 

On May 8, 2023, the Company issued an aggregate of 4,237,499 (the “Sponsor Shares”) of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares to the Sponsor upon the conversion of an equal number of shares of Class B Ordinary Shares (the “Sponsor Conversion”). Combined with the Director Share conversion discussed below, the Sponsor Conversion left 1 Class B ordinary share outstanding. These Sponsor Shares continue to hold the same legend as they did prior to their conversion. Accordingly, these shares are accounted for as Class A Ordinary Shares at their par value.

 

EarlyBirdCapital Founder Shares

 

In March 2021, the Company issued to EarlyBirdCapital and its designees an aggregate of 150,000 Class A Ordinary Shares (“EBC Founder Shares”) at a price of $0.0001 per share. The Company estimated the fair value of the EBC Founder Shares to be $870 based upon the price of the Founder Shares issued to the Sponsor. The holders of the EBC Founder Shares have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such shares until the completion of a Business Combination. In addition, the holders have agreed (i) to waive their conversion rights (or right to participate in any tender offer) with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

 

The EBC Founder Shares have been deemed compensation by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and are therefore subject to a lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement related to the IPO pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1). Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1), these securities will not be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statements related to the IPO, nor may they be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statements related to the IPO except to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the IPO and their officers or partners, associated persons or affiliates.

 

Director Shares

 

In October 2021, the Sponsor transferred 75,000 Founder Shares to the independent directors (“Director Shares”) at a price of $0.0001 per share. The Company estimated the fair value of the Director Shares to be $450,676 based upon the price of the Founder Shares issued to the Sponsor.

 

 

On May 8, 2023, the Company issued an aggregate of 75,000 Class A Ordinary Shares (together with the Sponsor Shares, the “Converted Class A Ordinary Shares”) to the Directors and the holders of the Company’s 75,000 Class B Ordinary Shares upon the conversion of an equal number of shares of Class B Ordinary Shares (together with the Sponsor Conversion, the “Conversion”). On the same day, in connection with the closing of the Sunorange Investment, 61,875 of the Converted Class A Ordinary Shares held by the Directors were transferred to designees of Sunorange.

 

The conversion of these Director Shares from Class B to Class A was not the result of a Business Combination, and the Company has previously recognized $450,676 in expenses related to these Director Shares. As such, these shares will continue to be held at their book value.

 

Related Party Loans

 

In March 2021, the Sponsor issued an unsecured Promissory Note to the Company, pursuant to which the Company was permitted to borrow an aggregate principal amount of $250,000. The Promissory Note was non-interest bearing, and the Promissory Note was fully repaid as of November 8, 2021, upon the closing of the IPO.

 

In addition, in order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor may, but is not obligated to, provide the Company with Working Capital Loans. Any such loans would be on an interest-free basis. If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company may repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. 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. 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. On May 8, 2023, in connection with the Sunorange Investment, the outstanding balance under the existing Promissory Note was forgiven. This was deemed to be a benefit to the Company under SAB Topic 5T. In order to recognize this benefit, the Company de-recognized the outstanding Promissory Note and reclassified it to additional paid-in capital, as an in-substance capital contribution. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Working Capital Loan.

 

On June 2, 2023, the Company issued the June 2023 Promissory Note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,200,000 to the Sponsor, which will be deposited into the Trust Account for the benefit of each Public Share that was not redeemed in connection with the Company’s May 8, 2023 shareholder vote to approve the 2023 Extension. The Sponsor agreed to pay $100,000 per month until the completion of an initial Business Combination, commencing on May 8, 2023 and continuing through May 8, 2024. The June 2023 Promissory Note bears no interest and is due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which the Company consummates its Business Combination and (ii) the date that the winding up of the Company is effective. At the election of the Sponsor, up to $1,200,000 of the unpaid principal amount of the June 2023 Promissory Note may be converted into Conversion Warrants at a conversion price of $1.00 per warrant. The Conversion Warrants shall be identical to the Placement Warrants issued by the Company at the IPO. The Company has determined that the fair value of the June 2023 Promissory Note is its face value as the note was not issued with a substantial premium. The Sponsor funded the first three months of the June 2023 Promissory Note in its first payment. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Sponsor had deposited an aggregate of $1,000,000 and $800,000, respectively, in payments to support the 2023 Extension on behalf of the Company.

 

On November 8, 2023, the Company issued the November 2023 Promissory Note the amount of $1,500,000 to Sunorange Investment. The November 2023 Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and is due at the earlier of consummation of the Business Combination or liquidation. Prior to the November 2023 Promissory Note being in place, related parties were making advances to the Company and on behalf of the Company for the purposes of paying its vendors. All advances made by the related parties between May 8, 2023 and the date of execution are retroactively covered by the November 2023 Promissory Note. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $709,859 and $542,503, respectively, was outstanding under the November 2023 Promissory Note.

 

Administrative Services Agreement

 

Commencing on the date that the Company’s securities are first listed on a U.S. national securities exchange, the Company has committed to pay a total of $3,000 per month to the Sponsor for office space, utilities and administrative support services. This administrative service arrangement will terminate upon completion of the Business Combination or liquidation of the Company. As of March 31, 2024 the Company has accrued $65,600 under the agreement in Due to related party and expensed $9,000 in Operating, general and administrative expenses for the three-month period then ended.

The holders of the Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants (and any shares of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on the effective date of the IPO, requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to shares of Class A Ordinary Shares). The holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders will have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act 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 Agreement

 

The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option from the date of the IPO to purchase up to 2,250,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the IPO price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriter fully exercised this option which closed subsequent to the IPO.

 

EarlyBirdCapital earned an underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $3,450,000 in the aggregate, upon the closing of the IPO and subsequent exercise of the full over-allotment option.

Equity [Abstract]  
SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

NOTE 9 – SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

 

Preference Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 preference shares, with a par value of $0.0001 per share, with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.

 

Class A Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of Class A Ordinary Shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class A Ordinary Shares are entitled to one vote for each share. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 4,462,499 Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding (excluding 4,623,332 shares subject to possible redemption).

 

Class B Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of Class B Ordinary Shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there was 1 Class B Ordinary Share issued and outstanding.

 

Holders of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders except as required by law. Under the terms of the Sunorange Investment, the Class B Ordinary Shares were converted to Class A Ordinary Shares although the Sponsor will retain at least one Class B ordinary share.

 

Any Founder Shares outstanding at the time of the Business Combination will automatically convert into shares of Class A Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional shares of Class A Ordinary Shares, or Equity-Linked Securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in the IPO and related to the closing of a Business Combination, the ratio at which shares of Class B Ordinary Shares shall convert into shares of Class A Ordinary Shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Ordinary Shares agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B Ordinary Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of Ordinary Shares outstanding upon the completion of the IPO plus all shares of Class A Ordinary Shares and Equity-Linked Securities issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination (excluding any shares or Equity-Linked Securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination).

 

 

Warrants — Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 12 months from the closing of the IPO and (b) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination.

 

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available. No warrant will be exercisable, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares of Class A Ordinary Shares upon exercise of a warrant unless the share of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants.

 

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days after the closing of a Business Combination, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the shares of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, and the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of a Business Combination, and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A Ordinary Shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement; provided that if the Class A Ordinary Shares is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, 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, but it will use its commercially reasonably efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. If a registration statement covering the shares of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th day after the closing of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption, but the Company will use its commercially reasonably efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

 

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

 

  in whole and not in part;
     
  at a price of $0.01 per warrant;
     
  upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and
     
  if, and only if, the closing price of the Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three trading days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

 

If and when the Public Warrants become redeemable by the Company, it may exercise its redemption right even if the Company is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

 

 

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 Business Combination at a Newly Issued Price of less than $9.20 per Class A ordinary share, (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of our Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the Market Value is below $9.20 per share, then the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the greater of (i) the Market Value or (ii) the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the greater of (i) the Market Value or (ii) the Newly Issued Price.

 

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units being sold in the IPO.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the unaudited condensed financial statements were issued. Based upon this review the Company did not identify any subsequent events, other than those described below, that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the unaudited condensed financial statements.

 

On May 2, 2024, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting in lieu of an annual general meeting of shareholders (the “2024 EGM”). At the 2024 EGM, the shareholders approved a proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate an initial business combination from May 8, 2024 to November 8, 2024 (or such earlier date as determined by the Board in its sole discretion) (the “2024 Extension”), among other proposals. Shareholders holding 2,374,826 shares of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, approximately $26,907,976 (approximately $11.33 per share) will be removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders.

 

On May 6, 2024, the Company received a deficiency notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of Nasdaq notifying the Company that since it was first notified on October 9, 2023, the Company had not regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2), which requires a company listed on The Nasdaq Global Market to have a minimum of 400 total shareholders (the “Minimum Total Holders Requirement”), by the end of the 180-day extension period ended April 8, 2024. Pursuant to the Notice, the Company’s securities may be subject to suspension and delisting pending the outcome of a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), which the Company requested on May 13, 2024. The Company’s hearing request has stayed the suspension of the Company’s securities, and the Company’s securities will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Global Market until the hearing process concludes and the Panel issues a written decision.

 

On May 15, 2024, the Company issued a promissory note (the “May 2024 Promissory Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $225,000 to the Sponsor, the proceeds from which will be deposited into the Trust Account for the benefit of each Public Share that was not redeemed in connection with the Company’s May 2, 2024 shareholder vote to approve the 2024 Extension. The Sponsor agreed to pay $37,500 per month until the completion of an initial Business Combination, commencing on May 8, 2024 and continuing through November 8, 2024. The May 2024 Promissory Note bears no interest and is due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which the Company consummates its Business Combination and (ii) the date that the winding up of the Company is effective. The Company has determined that the fair value of the May 2024 Promissory Note is its face value as the note was not issued with a substantial premium. As of March 31, 2024, the outstanding balance of the May 2024 Promissory Note was $0, and no interest was accrued.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 as filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024 (the “2023 Annual Report”). The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or for any future periods.

 

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, 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 a 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 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 which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which 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 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

 

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 unaudited condensed financial statements, 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.

 

 

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 cash of $5,436 and $37 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

 

Investment Held in Trust Account

Investment Held in Trust Account

 

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the assets held in the Trust Account consisted of $52,063,473 and $51,200,344, respectively. The Company’s portfolio of investments is comprised of investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value. The investments in money market funds are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities is included in income on investments held in the Trust Account in the accompanying statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has not experienced losses on this account and Management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

 

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

 

The Company complies with the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A — “Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the IPO. Offering costs were charged to Shareholder’s Equity upon the completion of the IPO and subsequent exercise of the over-allotment. Accordingly, following the IPO on November 8, 2021 and subsequent exercise of the over-allotment on November 12, 2021, offering costs totaling $4,171,912 (consisting of $3,450,000 of underwriting fee, and $721,912 of other offering costs) have been charged to Shareholders’ Equity.

 

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

 

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

 

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects Management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

 

Level 1 Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not being applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
     
Level 2 Valuations based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities, or (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market through correlation or other means.
     
Level 3 Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

 

 

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 Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”). Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares (collectively, “Ordinary Shares”) (including Ordinary Shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Ordinary Shares are classified as shareholder’s 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, Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholder’s equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.

 

Immediately upon the closing of the IPO, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable Ordinary Shares are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.

 

As a result of the shareholder vote held on May 8, 2023, 12,626,668 shareholders exercised their right to redemption which left a remainder of 4,623,332 Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption. These shareholders were paid an aggregate of $132,616,922, or $10.50 per share, on May 18, 2023.

 

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption reflected in the balance sheet is reconciled in the following table:

 

   March 31, 2024   December 31, 2023

Warrants

Warrants

 

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own Ordinary Shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

 

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. The Company accounts for its outstanding warrants as equity-classified instruments.

  

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

 

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the unaudited condensed financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

 

ASC 740 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. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

 

There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman 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.

 

Net Income Per Ordinary Share

Net Income Per Ordinary Share

 

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares outstanding during the period. The Company has two classes of shares, redeemable Ordinary Shares and non-redeemable Ordinary Shares. The Company’s redeemable Ordinary Shares are comprised of Class A shares sold in the IPO. The Company’s non-redeemable shares are comprised of Class A shares held by EarlyBirdCapital and Class B shares purchased by the Sponsor which were converted into Class A shares with their original legend in May 2023. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. The Company’s statement of operations applies the two-class method in calculating net income per share. Basic and diluted net income per share for redeemable Ordinary Shares and non-redeemable Ordinary Shares is calculated by dividing net income, allocated proportionally to each class of Ordinary Shares, attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of shares of redeemable and non-redeemable Ordinary Shares outstanding.

 

The calculation of diluted income per ordinary share does not consider the effect of the rights issued in connection with the IPO since exercise of the rights is contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such rights would be anti-dilutive. Accretion of the carrying value of Class A Ordinary Shares to redemption value is excluded from net income per redeemable share because the redemption value approximates fair value. As a result, diluted income per share is the same as basic loss per share for the period presented.

 

Accordingly, basic and diluted income per ordinary share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 is calculated as follows:

 

   Redeemable
Ordinary Shares
   Non-Redeemable
Ordinary Shares
   Redeemable

Weighted-average shares outstanding   4,623,332    4,462,500    17,400,000    4,312,500

Recent Accounting Standards

Recent Accounting Standards

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASU 2020-06”). The update simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models in Subtopic 470-20, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options for convertible instruments and introducing other changes. As a result of ASU No. 2020-06, more convertible debt instruments will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost and more convertible preference shares will be accounted for as a single equity instrument measured at its historical cost, as long as no features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. The amendments are effective for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2024. There was no material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, ASC Subtopic 820 “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions” (“ASU 2022-03”). The ASU amends ASC 820 to clarify that a contractual sales restriction is not considered in measuring an equity security at fair value and to introduce new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value. The ASU applies to both holders and issuers of equity and Equity-Linked Securities measured at fair value. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company adopted ASU 2022-03 on January 1, 2024. There was no material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) — Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”) in order to enhance the transparency and usefulness of income tax disclosures. The guidance is applicable to all entities subject to income tax, and it will require disclosure of certain categories within the rate reconciliation to improve consistency as well as disclosure of reconciling items which meet a certain quantitative threshold which will improve transparency. Additionally, entities must disclose the amount of taxes paid to federal, state and foreign municipalities. For public business entities ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of its pending adoption of ASU 2023-09 on its financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosure.

 

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