SCHEDULE 13D

This Amendment No. 3 (“Amendment No. 3”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed jointly by CIIG Management III LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“CIIG Mgmt III”) and Michael Minnick (together, the “Reporting Persons”) with the SEC on January 27, 2023, as amended by by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D on February 10, 2023 and Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D on February 12, 2023 (collectively, the “Original Schedule 13D”). The Original Schedule 13D remains in full force and effect, except as specifically amended by this Amendment No. 3. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Original Schedule 13D.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5(a) of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a) The aggregate percentage of Ordinary Shares that the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and is based on 513,613 Class A Ordinary Shares and 6,900,000 Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 13, 2024. Based on the foregoing, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own 76.4% of the Issuer’s Ordinary Shares in the aggregate.

Each of the Reporting Persons, as a result of the relationships described in Item 2, may be deemed to directly or indirectly beneficially own the Ordinary Shares reported on the cover pages to this Schedule 13D for each such Reporting Person. See also Items 11 and 13 of the cover pages to, and Item 2 of, this Schedule 13D for the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares and the percentage of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Item 6 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented to incorporate the following at the end thereof:

2024 Non-Redemption Agreements

In connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders called by the Issuer on August 9, 2024 (the “August 2024 Extraordinary General Meeting”) to approve an extension of time for the Issuer to consummate an initial business combination, the Issuer and CIIG Mgmt III entered into certain non-redemption agreements and assignments of economic interests (the “August Non-Redemption Agreements”) with certain investors.

The August Non-Redemption Agreements provide for the assignment of economic interest of Class B Ordinary Shares held by CIIG Mgmt III to such investors in exchange for such investors agreeing to hold and not redeem certain public shares at the August 2024 Extraordinary General Meeting. Pursuant to the August Non-Redemption Agreements, CIIG Mgmt III has agreed to transfer to such investors an aggregate of 416,148 ordinary shares in connection with the consummation of an initial business combination.

The foregoing description of the August Non-Redemption Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of August Non-Redemption Agreement which is filed as Exhibit 1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
