NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2024

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Churchill Capital Corp VII (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on October 9, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).

The Company is an early stage company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage companies.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity through June 30, 2024 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination and completing its initial business combination with CorpAcq Group Plc. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on February 11, 2021. On February 17, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 138,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class A common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), including the issuance of 18,000,000 Units as a result of the underwriters’ full exercise of their over-allotment option further described in Note 3. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $1,380,000,000.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 32,600,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, to the Company’s sponsor, Churchill Sponsor VII LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds to the Company of $32,600,000.

Transaction costs amounted to $73,525,223 consisting of $24,500,000 of underwriting discount net of $3,100,000 reimbursed from the underwriters, $48,300,000 of deferred underwriting discount and $725,223 of other offering costs.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on February 17, 2021, an amount of $1,380,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 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, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below, except that interest earned on the Trust Account can be released to the Company to fund working capital requirements, subject to an annual limit of $1,000,000 and to pay its tax obligations.

To mitigate the risk of the Company being viewed as operating an unregistered investment company (including pursuant to the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act), all funds in the Trust Account are held and will be held in cash (which may include demand deposit accounts) until the earlier of consummation of our initial business combination or liquidation. Furthermore, such cash (which may include demand deposit accounts) is held in bank accounts, which exceed federally insured limits as guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”). While we have only placed our Trust Account deposits with JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., only a small portion of the funds in our Trust Account will be guaranteed by the FDIC.

On May 11, 2023, the stockholders of the Company approved a proposal to adopt an amendment, which is described in more detail in the definitive proxy statement of the Company filed with the SEC on May 16, 2023, to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination from May 17, 2023 to February 17, 2024 (or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board of directors) (the “2023 Charter Amendment”). The 2023 Charter Amendment was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on May 16, 2023 and 79,983,929 shares of Class A common stock were redeemed, resulting in the payment of $816,281,045 from the Trust Account.

On February 8, 2024, the stockholders of the Company approved a proposal to adopt an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination from

CHURCHILL CAPITAL CORP VII

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2024

(UNAUDITED)

February 17, 2024 to August 17, 2024 (or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board of directors) (the “2024 Charter Amendment”). The 2024 Charter Amendment was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on February 9, 2024 and 951,810 shares of Class A common stock were redeemed, resulting in the payment of approximately $10 million from the Trust Account.

On March 1, 2024, the Company received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, unless the Company timely requested a hearing (“Hearing Request”) before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) by March 8, 2024, trading of the Company’s securities on the Nasdaq Global Market would be suspended at the opening of business on March 12, 2024, due to the Company’s non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule IM-5101-2.

On March 8, 2024, the Company submitted a Hearing Request with the Panel in accordance with the Notice and pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series. On May 13, 2024, the Company received written notice from the Hearing Panel of Nasdaq granting the request for continued listing on Nasdaq, subject to the Company demonstrating compliance with the Nasdaq Global Market’s initial listing requirements, as specified by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5405, on or before August 17, 2024.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering 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’s initial Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (excluding net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes, if applicable, taxes payable on interest income earned from the Trust Account and the deferred underwriting commissions) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial 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 a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

The Company will provide its holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “public stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in connection with a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The public stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.00 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest, net of permitted withdrawals). The per-share amount to be distributed to public stockholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters. There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants. The Public Shares subject to redemption were recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”

The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by law or stock exchange requirements and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, 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, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal 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 stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor and its permitted transferees have agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares acquired during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, public stockholders may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed Business Combination. If the Company seeks stockholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the

Table of Contents

CHURCHILL CAPITAL CORP VII

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2024

(UNAUDITED)

“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 the Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a Business Combination, (b) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to its Founder Shares if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within the Combination Window (as defined below) and (c) not to propose an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem one-hundred percent (100%) of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination, unless the Company provides the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

On August 1, 2023, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Polaris Pubco Plc (now known as CorpAcq Group Plc), a public limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales (“Pubco”), NorthSky Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Merger Sub”), CorpAcq Holdings Limited, a private limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales (“CorpAcq”) and certain shareholders of CorpAcq (see Note 6).

Following a stockholder vote on February 8, 2024, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation was amended to extend the window the Company had to complete a Business Combination from February 17, 2024 to August 17, 2024 or such earlier date as determined by the board of directors. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by August 17, 2024 (or within any extended date that may be approved pursuant to a stockholder vote to extend the date by which we must complete our initial business combination (an “extension vote”)) (the “Combination Window”), 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 (10) 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 (net of permitted withdrawals and up to $100,000 to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of the then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware 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 Public Warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Window.

The Sponsor has agreed to waive its right to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Window. However, if the Sponsor acquires Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, 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 Window. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Window 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 funds on deposit in the Trust Account remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit of $10.00 in the Initial Public Offering.

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 (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement, reduce the amount of funds on deposit in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.00 per Public Share or (ii) the amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of permitted withdrawals. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party that executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering 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 Company due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of June 30, 2024, we had cash of $2,825. On April 11, 2024 and May 15, 2024, the Company entered into promissory notes (the “Working Capital Promissory Notes”) with the Sponsor pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate principal amount of up to $1,000,000 and $250,000, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has borrowed $1,000,000 and $94,000 against the Working Capital Promissory Notes, with $0 and $156,000 available for withdrawal, respectively. We intend to use the remaining funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to structure, negotiate and complete the Business Combination with CorpAcq.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the initial stockholders or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a 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.

On May 16, 2023, the Sponsor agreed to make monthly deposits directly to the Trust Account of the Company in the amount of $1,000,000 following the approval and implementation of the initial extension proposal. Such contributions are made pursuant to a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note (the “Extension Promissory Note”) issued by the Company to the Sponsor. The Extension Promissory Note provides up to $9,000,000. Contributions are paid monthly beginning on May 17, 2023 until the earliest to occur of (i) the consummation of the Business Combination, (ii) August 15, 2024 and (iii) if a Business Combination is not consummated, the date of liquidation of the Trust Account, as determined in the sole discretion of our board of directors. The Extension Promissory Note will mature on the earlier of (1) the date we consummate a Business Combination and (2) the date that the winding up of the Company is effective. On February 8, 2024, the stockholders of the Company approved the 2024 Charter Amendment. On February 9, 2024, the Sponsor amended the extension promissory note to increase the principal borrowing amount payable under the promissory note from $9,000,000 to $15,000,000 to pay monthly extension payment in accordance with the extension. All other terms remain the same. As of June 30, 2024, the Extension Promissory Note had a balance of $14,000,997 with $999,003 available for withdrawal.

The Company may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through one year from the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements if a Business Combination is not consummated. These unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern, the Company has until August 17, 2024 or such earlier date as determined by the board of directors to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date and an extension not obtained by the Sponsor, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the potential mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after August 17, 2024 or such earlier date as determined by the board of directors. The Company intends to complete a Business Combination by August 17, 2024.

Risks and Uncertainties

We continue to evaluate the impact of increases in inflation and rising interest rates, financial market instability, including the recent bank failures, the potential government shutdown, the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and certain geopolitical events, including the wars in Ukraine and the surrounding region and between Israel and Hamas. We have concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the risks and uncertainties related to or resulting from these events could have a negative effect on our financial position, results of operations and/or ability to complete an initial Business Combination, 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.

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a 1% U.S. federal excise tax on certain repurchases (including redemptions) of stock by publicly traded U.S. corporations after December 31, 2022. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its stockholders from whom the shares are repurchased (although it may reduce the amount of cash distributable in a current or subsequent redemption). The amount of the excise tax is 1% of the fair market value of any shares repurchased by the repurchasing corporation during a taxable year, which may be potentially netted by the fair market value of certain new stock issuances by the repurchasing corporation during the same taxable year. In addition, a number of exceptions apply to this excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out, and prevent the abuse or avoidance of, this excise tax.

On December 27, 2022, the Treasury published Notice 2023-2, which provided clarification on some aspects of the application of the excise tax. The notice generally provides that if a publicly traded U.S. corporation completely liquidates and dissolves, distributions in such complete liquidation and other distributions by such corporation in the same taxable year in which the final distribution in complete liquidation and dissolution is made are not subject to the excise tax.

Because any such excise tax would be payable by us and not by the redeeming holder, it could cause a reduction in the value of our Class A common stock, cash available with which to effectuate a business combination or cash available for distribution in a subsequent liquidation. Whether and to what extent we would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a business combination will depend on a number of factors, including (i) the structure of the business combination, (ii) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the business combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with the business combination (or any other equity issuances within the same taxable year of the business combination) and (iv) the content of any subsequent regulations, clarifications, and other guidance issued by the Treasury. However, to mitigate this uncertainty, funds held in the trust account will not be used to pay for excise tax liabilities with respect to redemptions of the Class A common stock in connection with an extension of the completion window, a business combination or our liquidation.

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 interim results for the three and six months

(UNAUDITED)

ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ended December 31, 2024 or for any future periods.

Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s balance sheets or reported results of operations. An adjustment has been made to the unaudited condensed statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023, to reclassify amounts withdrawn from Trust Account for working capital purposes to be included with amounts withdrawn from Trust Account for taxes.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting 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 accompanying 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 did not have any cash equivalents as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Cash and Marketable Securities Held in the Trust Account

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in cash. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company withdrew from the Trust Account $5,400,411 to pay franchise, income taxes and working capital purposes and $10,094,430 to pay redeeming stockholders in connection with the 2024 Charter Amendment described in Note 1. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company withdrew from the Trust Account $18,919,977 to pay franchise and income taxes and working capital purposes and $816,281,045 to pay redeeming stockholders. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, all Trust Account funds were held as cash in a demand deposit account that accrues interest monthly. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments held in the Trust Account are shown in the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.

On May 11, 2023, the stockholders of the Company approved the 2023 Charter Amendment. The 2023 Charter Amendment was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and 79,983,929 shares of Class A common stock were redeemed, resulting in the payment of $816,281,045 from the Trust Account.

On February 8, 2024, the stockholders of the Company approved the 2024 Charter Amendment. The 2024 Charter Amendment was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on February 9, 2024 and 951,810 shares of Class A common stock were redeemed, resulting in the payment of $10,094,430 from the Trust Account.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within

(UNAUDITED)

the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, Class A common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheets.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the remeasurement from initial book value to redemption value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable Class A common stock resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Class A common stock reflected in the balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:


Gross proceeds	$	1,380,000,000

Warrant Liabilities

The Company accounts for the Public Warrants (as defined in Note 4) and the Private Placement Warrants (collectively, the “Warrants”) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40-15-7D and 7F under which the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statements of operations. The Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants for periods where no observable traded price was available are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation and a modified Black-Scholes model, respectively. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units, the Public Warrant quoted market price was used as the fair value as of each relevant date.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the unaudited condensed financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s deferred tax asset had a full valuation allowance

CHURCHILL CAPITAL CORP VII

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2024

(UNAUDITED)

recorded against it. Our effective tax rate was 54.93% and 33.20% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and (1,989.17)% and 36.30% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, due to changes in fair value of warrant liability and the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets.

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s unaudited condensed financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for unaudited condensed financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position 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. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.

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 June 30, 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 has identified the United States, New York City and New York State as its only “major” tax jurisdictions. The Company is subject to income taxation by major taxing authorities since inception. These examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Offering Costs

Offering costs consist of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the Initial Public Offering that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs amounted to $73,525,223, of which $72,128,480 were charged to stockholders’ deficit upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering and $1,396,743 were expensed to the statements of operations.

Net Income (Loss) per Share of Common Stock

Net income (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period. Remeasurement associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common stock is excluded from net income (loss) per share of common stock as the redemption value approximates fair value.

The calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, and (ii) the private placement to purchase an aggregate of 60,200,000 shares of common stock in the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock, since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could potentially be exercised or converted into shares of common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock is the same as basic net income (loss) per share of common stock for the periods presented.

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, exceeds the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on this account.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature, except for the Company’s derivative instruments (see Note 9).

Recent Accounting Standards

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which will require the Company to disclose specified additional information in its income tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 will also require the Company to disaggregate its income taxes paid disclosure by federal, state and foreign taxes, with further disaggregation required for significant individual jurisdictions. ASU 2023-09 will become effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is still reviewing the impact of ASU 2023-09.

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

NOTE 3. PUBLIC OFFERING

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 138,000,000 Units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit, which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase an additional 18,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one-fifth of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 8).

NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased in a private placement an aggregate of 32,600,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $32,600,000. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. The proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account.

Table of Contents

CHURCHILL CAPITAL CORP VII

(UNAUDITED)

If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Window, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants 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. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Private Placement Warrants (see Note 8).

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

In December 2020, the Sponsor purchased 8,625,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock for an aggregate of $25,000 (the “Founder Shares” or, individually, a “Founder Share”). On February 5, 2021, the Company effected a 20,125,000 stock dividend. Additionally, on February 11, 2021, the Company effected a 5,750,000 stock dividend, resulting in our initial stockholders holding an aggregate of 34,500,000 Founder Shares. All share and per-share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the stock dividend. The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 4,500,000 shares subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part, so that the Sponsor would own, on an as-converted basis, twenty percent (20%) of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock after the completion of the Initial Public Offering (assuming the Sponsor does not purchase any Public Shares in the Initial Public Offering). As a result of the underwriters’ election to fully exercise their over-allotment option, no Founder Shares are currently subject to forfeiture.

The Sponsor has agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one (1) year after the completion of a Business Combination and (B) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization or similar transaction after a Business Combination that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any twenty (20) trading days within any thirty (30)-trading day period commencing at least one-hundred fifty (150) days after a Business Combination, the Founder Shares will be released from the lock-up.

Administrative Services Agreement

The Company entered into an agreement, commencing on February 11, 2021 through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and its liquidation, pursuant to which the Company pays an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $50,000 per month for office space and administrative and support services. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred $150,000 and $300,000 of such fees, respectively. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $100,000 and $0, respectively, was included in accrued expenses on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred and paid $150,000 and $300,000 of such fees, respectively.

Promissory Note—Related Party

On December 30, 2020, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $600,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of December 31, 2021 or the completion of the Initial Public Offering. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there is no outstanding balance under the Promissory Note. The borrowings outstanding under the Promissory Note in the amount of $375,000 were repaid upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering on February 17, 2021. Borrowings under the Promissory Note are no longer available.

Related Party Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, or the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. 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

Combination. In addition to the mutually agreed upon fee, the Company will reimburse the Capital Markets Advisor up to $500,000 for reasonable documented out of pocket expenses. These reimbursable expenses are payable regardless of the outcome of the proposed Business Combination.

Registration Rights

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on February 11, 2021, the holders of the Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants (and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) will be entitled to registration rights requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion into shares of Class A common stock). The holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders of these securities 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. The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidated damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in registering the Company’s securities. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statement.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriters a forty-five (45)-day option from the date of Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 18,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. As a result of the underwriters’ election to fully exercise the over-allotment option, the underwriters purchased an additional 18,000,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit. The underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $27,600,000 in the aggregate, payable upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriters were to be entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $48,300,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will be waived by the underwriters in the event that the Company does not complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

In November 2023, the Company received letters from BofA Securities, Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, waiving their rights to their portion of the deferred underwriting fee. In aggregate, the underwriting fees waived total approximately $30.4 million.

Upon payment of the redemption, approximately $605 million will remain in the Trust Account prior to any additional Contributions made by the Sponsor pursuant to the Promissory Note following the effectiveness of the 2024 Charter Amendment. As such, the Company has recorded a 1% excise tax liability in the amount of $8,263,754 in connection with both redemptions on the balance sheets as of June 30, 2024. The liability does not impact the statements of operations and is offset against additional paid-in capital or accumulated deficit if additional paid-in capital is not available.

NOTE 7. STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

Preferred Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock 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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Class A Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 57,064,261 and 58,016,071 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding, respectively, including Class A common stock subject to possible redemption which are presented as temporary equity.

Holders of Class B common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 34,500,000 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding.

Holders of Class B common stock will have the right to elect all of the Company’s directors prior to a Business Combination. Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all other matters submitted to a vote of stockholders except as required by law.

The shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of the completion of a Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of a Business Combination, the ratio at which shares of Class B common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering plus all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination (net of the number of shares of Class A common stock redeemed 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, any private placement-equivalent warrants issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination.

NOTE 8. WARRANT LIABILITIES

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 27,600,000 Public Warrants outstanding. The 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) thirty (30) days after the completion of a Business Combination or (b) twelve (12) months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Public Warrants will expire five (5) years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock is available, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration. No Warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their Warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder, or an exemption from registration is available.

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of a Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC, and within 60 business days following a Business Combination to have declared effective, a registration statement covering the issuance of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the Warrants expire or are redeemed. Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A common stock is at the time of any exercise of a Warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of the 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 will use its reasonable best efforts to qualify the shares of Class A common stock under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

Once the Public Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the Public Warrants:

●

in whole and not in part;

●

at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant;

●

upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of redemption;

●

if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any twenty (20) trading days within a thirty (30)-trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to the Public Warrant holders; and

●

if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants.

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

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the Public Warrants will not be adjusted for

(UNAUDITED)

issuance of Class A common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public Warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Window and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Public Warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their Public Warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such Public Warrants. Accordingly, the Public Warrants may expire worthless.

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 32,600,000 Private Placement Warrants outstanding. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until thirty (30) days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.

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:

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2:

Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3:

Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:


		June 30,			December 31,
Description	Level	2024		Level	2023
Assets:
Marketable securities held in Trust Account	1	$	—	1	$	—

Liabilities:
Warrant liability- Public Warrants	1		9,660,000	1		3,588,000
Warrant liability- Private Placement Warrants	2		11,410,000	2		4,238,000

Table of Contents

CHURCHILL CAPITAL CORP VII

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2024

(UNAUDITED)

The Warrants were accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value recorded in the statements of operations.

The Public and Private Placement Warrants were valued as of February 17, 2021 using a Monte Carlo simulation model and a Modified Black Scholes model, respectively, which are considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The Monte Carlo simulation and the Modified Black-Scholes models’ primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the Public and Private Placement Warrants is the probability of consummation of the Business Combination. The probability assigned to the consummation of the Business Combination was 80%, which was estimated based on the observed success rates of business combinations for special purpose acquisition companies. The subsequent measurements of the Public Warrants after the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units is classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market under the ticker CVIIW. For subsequent measurements of the Private Placement Warrants after detachment, a Modified Black Scholes Option Pricing model was used. The Modified Black Scholes model’s primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants is the expected volatility of the common stock. The expected volatility was implied from the Company’s own Public Warrant pricing. Other key assumptions used in connection with the Modified Black Scholes model were expected life, risk free rate, and dividend yield, which were based on market conditions, management assumptions, and terms of the warrant agreement.

At issuance, the estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants and the estimated fair value of the Public Warrants was determined by a Monte Carlo simulation. As of September 30, 2022, the Private Placement Warrants were transferred to a Level 2 fair value measurement, as the Private Placement Warrants are being valued using the associated observable market of the Public Warrants.

Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2 and 3 are recognized at the end of the reporting period in which a change in valuation technique or methodology occurs. There were no transfers during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

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 the below, that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the unaudited condensed financial statements.

On July 25, 2024, the Company borrowed $999,003 in connection with the Extension Promissory Note entered into on May 16, 2023, amended on February 9, 2024 and was advanced $2,137 from the Sponsor, which was deposited into the Trust Account in the amount of $1,001,140. As of July 25, 2024, the Extension Promissory Note had a balance of $15,000,000 with $0 available for withdrawal.

On July 25, 2024, the Company convened and then adjourned the special meeting of the Company stockholders (the “Stockholder Special Meeting”) and the meeting of the Company warrant holders (the “Warrant Holder Meeting”), each to be held in connection with the Business Combination, in each case as described in greater detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on June 20, 2024 (the “Proxy Statement”). The Stockholder Special Meeting was reconvened on August 12, 2024 at 10:00 A.M., Eastern Time, and the Warrant Holder Meeting was reconvened on August 12, 2024 at 10:30 A.M., Eastern Time.

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Form 8-K filed on August 5, 2024, in connection with the Business Combination, prior to the closing of the Business Combination, the Company is seeking to enter into (a) certain non redemption and subscription agreements (the “Non-Redemption Agreements”) with certain Company stockholders (the “Committed Stockholders”), (b) certain ordinary shares subscription agreements (the “Ordinary Shares Subscription Agreements”) with certain Company stockholders and other persons (collectively, the “PIPE Investors”), to secure an aggregate amount of funds in the Trust Account in the range of approximately $350,000,000 to $500,000,000 or more and/or (c) an ordinary shares subscription agreement (the “Sponsor Ordinary Shares Subscription Agreement”) with the Sponsor. Pursuant to the Non-Redemption Agreements, the Ordinary Shares Subscription Agreements and the Sponsor Ordinary Shares Subscription Agreements, the Committed Stockholders, the PIPE Investors and the Sponsor, respectively, would subscribe for and purchase from the post-combination company a number of Post-Combination Company Ordinary A1 Shares. In the case of the Non-Redemption Agreements, the Committed Stockholders would also agree not to sell prior to the closing of the Business Combination a designated number of shares of Class A common stock or exercise any redemption rights in respect of such shares.

All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-Q including, without limitation, statements in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” regarding the completion of the Proposed Business Combination (as defined below), the Company’s financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “seek” and variations and similar words and expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance, but reflect management’s current beliefs, based on information currently available. A number of factors could cause actual events, performance or results to differ materially from the events, performance and results discussed in the forward-looking statements, including that the conditions of the Proposed Business Combination are not satisfied.

Overview

We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. We intend to effectuate our business combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a business combination will be successful.

Recent Developments

Business Combination

Table of Contents

The proposed merger is expected to be consummated after the required approval by the stockholders of the Company and the satisfaction of certain other conditions summarized below.

The total consideration to be paid to the shareholders of CorpAcq will be equal to the sum of:

●

15,000,000 class C-2 ordinary shares in Pubco, which shall have terms substantially equivalent to those set forth on Exhibit A of the Merger Agreement; plus

●

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the parties thereto and the closing is subject to certain conditions as further described in the Merger Agreement.

On November 17, 2023, CorqAcq filed a registration statement on Form F-4 in connection with the business combination, and subsequently filed a Post-Effective Amendment to the registration statement. On June 20, 2024, the SEC declared the registration statement effective.

On August 12, 2024, the stockholders of the Company voted to approve the business combination with CorpAcq.

Table of Contents

As previously disclosed in the Company's Form 8-K filed on August 5, 2024, in connection with the Business Combination, prior to the closing of the Business Combination, the Company is seeking to enter into (a) the Non-Redemption Agreements with the Committed Stockholders, (b) the Ordinary Shares Subscription Agreements with the PIPE Investors, to secure an aggregate amount of funds in the Trust Account in the range of approximately $350,000,000 to $500,000,000 or more and/or (c) the Sponsor Ordinary Shares Subscription Agreement with the Sponsor. Pursuant to the Non-Redemption Agreements, the Ordinary Shares Subscription Agreements and the Sponsor Ordinary Shares Subscription Agreements, the Committed Stockholders, the PIPE Investors and the Sponsor, respectively, would subscribe for and purchase from the post-combination company a number of Post-Combination Company Ordinary A1 Shares. In the case of the Non-Redemption Agreements, the Committed Stockholders would also agree not to sell prior to the closing of the Business Combination a designated number of shares of Class A common stock or exercise any redemption rights in respect of such shares.

In the event that, the Company enters into Non-Redemption Agreements and/or Ordinary Shares Subscription Agreements, the parties intend to amend the Merger Agreement and that certain letter agreement, dated as of August 1, 2023, from the Sponsor and certain individuals, each of whom is a member of the Company's board of directors and/or management team, to the Company and CorpAcq to (a) increase the Sponsor's forfeiture by an aggregate of up to 9,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, and (b) increase the shares to be issued to CorpAcq shareholders by an aggregate of up to 9,000,000 post-combination company ordinary shares.

There can be no assurances that the parties will enter into agreements in respect of the non-redemption, PIPE investment and/or Sponsor investment for the anticipated amounts or any amount or that such arrangements will not be entered into on other terms.

Sponsor Agreement

On February 8, 2024, the stockholders of the Company approved a proposal to adopt an amendment, which is described in more detail in the definitive proxy statement of the Company filed with the SEC on February 12, 2024, to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination from February 17, 2024 to August 17, 2024 (or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board of directors) (the “2024 Charter Amendment”). The 2024 Charter Amendment was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on February 9, 2024 and 951,810 shares of Class A common stock were redeemed, resulting in the payment of approximately $10 million from the Trust Account.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities through June 30, 2024 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the IPO, described below, and identifying a target for our business combination and completing an initial business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our business combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

Table of Contents

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we had net income of $2,197,274, which consisted of interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $7,956,021 partially offset by provision for income taxes of $2,677,645, change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $1,806,000 and operating costs of $1,275,102.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we had net loss of $5,816,323, which consisted of change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $13,244,000, provision for income taxes of $5,537,919 and operating costs of $2,901,117 partially offset by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $15,866,713.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we had net income of $6,211,341, which consisted of interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $11,855,977, offset by provision for income taxes of $3,087,466, change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $1,204,000 and operating costs of $1,353,170.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we had net income of $10,546,834, which consisted of interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $24,446,003, offset by provision for income taxes of $6,010,936, change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $5,418,000 and operating costs of $2,470,233.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

On February 17, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 138,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of the over-allotment option, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $1,380,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 32,600,000 Private Placement Warrants to the sponsor at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $32,600,000.

Following the Initial Public Offering, the exercise of the over-allotment option and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $1,380,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $73,525,233 in transaction costs, including $24,500,000 of underwriting fees, net of $3,100,000 reimbursed from the underwriters, $48,300,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $725,223 of other costs.

As of June 30, 2024, we had cash held in the Trust Account of $618,365,971. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may be used by us to pay taxes and to pay working capital expenses subject to an annual limit of $1,000,000 (to the extent available). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company withdrew from the Trust Account $5,400,411 to pay franchise, income taxes and working capital and $10,094,430 to pay redeeming stockholders.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, cash used in operating activities was $11,361,285 Net loss of $5,816,323 was affected by the change in the value of the warrant liabilities of $13,244,000 and interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $15,866,713. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $2,922,249 of cash for operating activities.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, cash used in operating activities was $10,845,552. Net income of $10,546,834 was affected by a change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $5,418,000, interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $24,446,003, and deferred tax provision of $836,312. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $1,528,071 of cash for operating activities.

In February 2023, we instructed the trustee with respect to the Trust Account to redeem the marketable securities held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash. As a result, we will continue to receive interest on the funds held in the Trust Account. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less deferred underwriting commissions and income taxes payable), to complete our business combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

the remaining funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to structure, negotiate and complete the Business Combination with CorpAcq.

To mitigate the risk of being viewed as operating an unregistered investment company (including pursuant to the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act of 1940), all funds in the Trust Account are held and will be held in cash (which may include demand deposit accounts) until the earlier of consummation of our initial business combination or liquidation. As a result, we receive interest on the funds held in the Trust Account.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the initial stockholders or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a 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.

On May 16, 2023, the Sponsor agreed to make monthly deposits directly to the Trust Account of the Company in the amount of $1,000,000 following the approval and implementation of the initial extension proposal pursuant to the 2023 Charter Amendment. Such contributions are made pursuant to the Extension Promissory Note issued by the Company to the Sponsor. The Extension Promissory Note provided up to $9,000,000. Contributions are paid monthly beginning on May 17, 2023 until the earliest to occur of (i) the consummation of the Business Combination, (ii) August 15, 2024 and (iii) if a Business Combination is not consummated, the date of liquidation of the Trust Account, as determined in the sole discretion of our board of directors. The Extension Promissory Note will mature on the earlier of (1) the date we consummate a Business Combination and (2) the date that the winding up of the Company is effective. On February 9, 2024, the Sponsor amended the Extension Promissory Note to increase the principal borrowing amount payable under the promissory note from $9,000,000 to $15,000,000 to pay the monthly extension payment in accordance with the extension and extend the maturity date to August 15, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the Extension Promissory Note had a balance of $14,000,997 with $999,003 available for withdrawal.

The Company may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through one year from the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements if a business combination is not consummated. These unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern, the Company has until August 17, 2024 or such earlier date as determined by the board of directors to consummate a business combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a business combination by this time. If a business combination is not consummated by this date and an extension not obtained by the Sponsor, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the potential mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after August 17, 2024 or such earlier date as determined by the board of directors. The Company intends to complete a business combination before the mandatory liquidation date.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2024. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Contractual Obligations

The Company agreed, commencing on February 11, 2021 through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a business combination and its liquidation, to pay an affiliate of the sponsor a total of $50,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services.

Following the IPO, the underwriters were entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $48,300,000 in the aggregate. In November 2023, the Company received letters from BofA Securities, Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC waiving their rights to their portion of the deferred underwriting fee. In aggregate, the underwriting fees waived total approximately $30.4 million. The remaining approximately $17.9 million deferred fee will be waived by the underwriters in the event that the Company does not complete a business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. We have not identified any critical accounting estimates. The following are the critical accounting policies:

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our Class A common stock subject to possible conversion in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, Class A common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of our balance sheets.

Warrant Liabilities

The Company accounts for the Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40-15-7D and 7F under which the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statements of operations. The Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants for periods where no observable traded price was available are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation and a modified Black-Scholes model, respectively. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units, the Public Warrant quoted market price was used as the fair value as of each relevant date.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net income (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Remeasurement associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common stock is excluded from net income (loss) per share of common stock as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Recent Accounting Standards

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, which will require the Company to disclose specified additional information in its income tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 will also require the Company to disaggregate its income taxes paid disclosure by federal, state and foreign taxes, with further disaggregation required for significant individual jurisdictions. ASU 2023-09 will become effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is still reviewing the impact of ASU 2023-09.

Table of Contents

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

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2024. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

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

On February 17, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 138,000,000 Units. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $1,380,000,000. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. acted as joint bookrunner and representative of the underwriters and each of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and BofA Securities, Inc. acted as joint bookrunners of the offering. The securities in the offering were registered under the Securities Act on registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-252006). The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the registration statement effective on February 11, 2021.

Simultaneous with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 32,600,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to Churchill Sponsor VII LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $32,600,000. Each whole Private Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The issuance was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants are not transferable, assignable or salable until after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions.

Of the gross proceeds received from the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, an aggregate of $1,380,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. On May 11, 2023, the stockholders of the Company approved the Charter Amendment. The Charter Amendment was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and 79,983,929 shares of Class A common stock were redeemed, resulting in the payment of $816,281,045 from the Trust Account.

We incurred $73,525,223 of transaction costs, consisting of $24,500,000 of underwriting fees, which is net of $3,100,000 reimbursed fees from the underwriters, $48,300,000 of deferred underwriting discount and $725,223 of other offering costs. In addition, $5,758,933 of cash was held outside of the Trust Account for working capital purposes.

For a description of the use of the proceeds generated in our Initial Public Offering, see Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

None

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

None

Item 5. Other Information

In the second quarter of 2024, no director or officer (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 16a-1(f)) of the Company adopted or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement for the purchase or sale of securities of the Company, within the meaning of Item 408 of Regulation S-K.
