Silexion Therapeutics Corp

NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS:

Moringa Acquisition Corp (hereafter — the Company) is a blank check company, incorporated on September 24, 2020 as a Cayman Islands exempted company, formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination (hereafter — the Business Combination). The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”).

All activity for the year ended December 31, 2023 relates to the Company’s search for a target company, as well as attempts to consummate the Proposed Holisto Merger which was terminated on August 8, 2023 as detailed in Note 1(f).

In February 2024, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement with Silexion. Refer to Note 10(b) for further information regarding the Proposed Business Combination.

The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The Company’s sponsor is Moringa Sponsor, L.P., a Cayman exempted limited partnership (which is referred to herein, together with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Moringa Sponsor (US) LP, a Delaware limited partnership, as the “Sponsor”).

The registration statement relating to the Company’s Public Offering was declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 16, 2021. The initial stage of the Company’s Public Offering — the sale of 10,000,000 Units — closed on February 19, 2021 (hereafter — the Closing of the Public Offering). Upon that closing and the concurrent closing of the initial stage of the Private Placement (as defined below in Note 3). $100,000,000 was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) (discussed in Note 1(c) below). On March 3, 2021 upon the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option for the Public Offering, the second stage of the Public Offering — the sale of 1,500,000 Units — closed. Upon that closing and the concurrent closing of the second stage of the Private Placement, an additional $15,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. As part of the partial redemptions in conjunction with the First and Second Extensions, approximately $113 million have been withdrawn from the Investments held in Trust Account. The Company intends to finance its Initial Business Combination with the net proceeds from the Public Offering and the Private Placement.

The proceeds held in the Trust Account are invested in money market funds registered under the Investment Company Act and compliant with Rule 2a-7 thereof that maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00.

The Company’s complies with the provisions of ASU 2016-18, under which changes in proceeds held in the Trust Account are accounted for as Changes in Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments Held in a Trust Account in the Company’s Statements of Cash Flows.

Refer to Note 4(a) for information regarding proceeds loaned by the Sponsor under the Sixth and Eighth Promissory Notes, deposited into the Trust Account.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Public Offering and the Private Placement are intended to be generally applied toward consummating an Initial Business Combination. The Initial Business Combination must occur with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding taxes payable on the income accrued in the Trust Account) as of the time of entry into the related definitive agreement for the Initial Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully consummate an Initial Business Combination.

The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for an Initial Business Combination, will provide its public shareholders the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their shares upon the completion of the Initial Business Combination, either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the business combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer.

If the Company holds a shareholder vote or there is a tender offer for shares in connection with an Initial Business Combination, a public shareholder will have the right to redeem its shares for an amount in cash equal to its pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, calculated as of two days prior to the general meeting or commencement of the Company’s tender offer, including interest but less taxes payable. As a result, the Company’s Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Public Offering, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”.

Pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, if the Company is unable to complete the Initial Business Combination within 24 months (as was subsequently extended, as described below) from the Closing of the Public Offering, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Class B ordinary share, including any Class A ordinary share issuable upon conversion of such Class B ordinary shares, and Class A ordinary share (as described in Note 7) held by them if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within 24 months (as was subsequently extended) of the Closing of the Public Offering or during any extended time that the Company has to consummate an Initial Business Combination beyond 24 months as a result of a shareholder vote to amend its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. However, if the Sponsor or any of the Company’s directors or officers acquire any Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within the prescribed time period.

In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company after an Initial Business Combination, the Company’s shareholders are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision is made for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the ordinary shares. The Company’s shareholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the ordinary shares, except that the Company will provide its shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, under the circumstances, and, subject to the limitations, described herein.

On February 9, 2023 the Company held an extraordinary general meeting in lieu of the 2022 annual general meeting of the Company (hereafter — the First Extension Meeting). At the First Extension Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved the proposal to adopt, by way of special resolution, an amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from the 24 month anniversary of the Closing of the Public Offering — i.e., February 19, 2023 to August 19, 2023 (hereafter — the Extended Mandatory Liquidation Date) or such earlier date as may be determined by the Board in its sole discretion.

On August 18, 2023 the Company held an extraordinary general meeting in lieu of the 2023 annual general meeting of the Company (hereafter — the Second Extension Meeting). At the Second Extension Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved, among other proposals, an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to further extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from the Extended Mandatory Liquidation Date to August 19, 2024 (hereafter — the Second Extended Mandatory Liquidation Date) or such earlier date as may be determined by the Board in its sole discretion.

Refer to Note 4(a) for information regarding proceeds received by the Company from the Sponsor under the Sixth and Eighth Promissory Notes, which were deposited into the Trust Account.

Refer to Note 7(a) for information regarding the partial redemptions of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, following the First and Second Extension Meetings.

Refer to Note 5(b) for information regarding the conversion of Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares, following the Second Extension Meeting.

As of December 31, 2023 the Company had approximately $108 thousand of cash and an accumulated deficit of approximately $2,848 thousand. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standard Codification 205-40, “Going Concern”, the Company will need to obtain additional funds in order to satisfy its liquidity needs in its endeavors to consummate a business combination.

Since its inception date and through the issuance date of these financial statements, the Company’s liquidity needs were satisfied through an initial capital injection from the Sponsor, followed by net Private Placement proceeds, as well as several withdrawals of the Sponsor promissory notes. Management has determined that it will need to continue to rely and is significantly dependent on both outstanding and future promissory notes, or other forms of financial support (all of which the Sponsor is not obligated to provide). Moreover, following the Second Extension Meeting, the Company has until August 19, 2024 to consummate an Initial Business Combination. If a business combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate any business combination ahead of the Second Extended Mandatory Liquidation Date, nor will it be able to raise sufficient funds to complete an Initial Business Combination. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, for the subsequent twelve months following the issuance date of these financial statements. In February 2024, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement with Silexion Therapeutics Ltd. (hereafter — Silexion). Refer to Note 10(b) for further information regarding the Proposed Business Combination.

No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the company fail to obtain financial support in its pursuit to consummate an Initial Business Combination, nor if it is required to liquidate after the Second Extended Mandatory Liquidation Date.

On June 9, 2022 the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement for a proposed business combination (hereafter — the Proposed Holisto Merger) with Holisto Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (hereafter — Holisto) and Holisto MergerSub, Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Holisto.

On August 7, 2023 Holisto notified the Company that it was terminating the Proposed Holisto Merger agreement. The termination became effective as of August 8, 2023. Upon termination of the Proposed Holisto Merger, all rights and obligations of each party to the agreement ceased, except for those obligations of the parties that are intended to survive such termination and which remain in effect in accordance with their respective terms. Neither the Company nor Holisto has any remaining substantive obligation to one another following the above-mentioned termination, as of date of these financial statements.

In February 2024, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement with Silexion. Refer to Note 10(b) for further information regarding the Proposed Business Combination.

On October 7, 2023 Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of attacks on civilian and military targets. Hamas also launched extensive rocket attacks on Israeli population and industrial centers located along Israel’s border with the Gaza Strip and in other areas within the State of Israel. These attacks resulted in extensive deaths, injuries and kidnapping of civilians and soldiers. Following the attack, Israel’s security cabinet declared war against Hamas and a military campaign against these terrorist organizations commenced in parallel to their continued rocket and terror attacks.

The intensity and duration of Israel’s current war against Hamas is difficult to predict, as are such war’s economic implications on the business and operations on any target company with which the Company may combine, and on Israel’s economy in general. These events may cause wider macroeconomic deterioration in Israel, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to effectively complete an Initial Business Combination, or on the operations of an Israel-centered target company with which the Company may combine.

Refer to Note 10(b) for further information regarding the Proposed Business Combination.

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards.

The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible, because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

The Company considers as cash equivalents all short-term, highly liquid investments, which include short-term bank deposits with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase that are not restricted as to withdrawal or use by nature of the account and are readily convertible to known amounts of cash.

As discussed in Note 1(b), all of the 11,500,000 Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the Units in the Public Offering contained a redemption feature. In accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification 480-10-S99-3A “Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities”, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require the security to be classified outside of permanent equity. The Company has classified all of the shares sold under the Public Units as subject to possible redemption.

Refer to Note 7(a) for information regarding the partial redemptions of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, following the First Extension Meeting and the Second Extension Meeting.

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Net profit (loss) per share is computed by dividing net profit (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The Company applies the two-class method in calculating net profit (loss) per each class of shares: the non-redeemable shares, which include the Private Class A Ordinary Shares, as defined in Note 7(a), and the Class B ordinary shares (hereafter and collectively — Non-Redeemable class A and B ordinary shares); and the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption.

In order to determine the net profit (loss) attributable to each class, the Company first considered the total profit (loss) allocable to both sets of shares. This is calculated using the total net profit (loss) less any interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account. Then, any accretion is fully allocated to the Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. From the Company’s incorporation and through December 31, 2023 the Company has not experienced any losses on these accounts.

As of December 31, 2023 the Company held its cash and cash equivalents in an SVB bank account, and its investments Held in Trust Account in Goldman Sachs money market funds. Money market funds are characterized as Level 1 investments within the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820.

The Company applied the provisions of ASC 815-40 and classified its public warrants, issued as part of the Public Units as detailed in Note 3, as equity securities.

The Company accounts for the warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in Accounting Standards Codification 815 (“ASC 815”), “Derivatives and Hedging”, under which the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as derivative 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 the warrants are exercised or expire, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. Refer to Note 6 for information regarding the model used to estimate the fair value of the Private Warrants (as defined in Note 3).

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

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates and such differences may have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes (hereafter — ASC 740). ASC 740 prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value if it is more likely than not that a portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, based on the weight of available positive and negative evidence. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are classified as non-current in accordance with ASU 2015-17.

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

NOTE 3 — PUBLIC OFFERING AND PRIVATE PLACEMENTS:

In the initial Public Offering, the Company issued and sold 11,500,000 units (including 1,500,000 units sold at a second closing pursuant to the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full) at an offering price of $10.00 per unit (hereafter — the Units). The Sponsor and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (the representative of the underwriters) purchased, in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the two closings of the initial Public Offering (hereafter — the Private Placement), an aggregate of 352,857 and 27,143 Units, respectively, at a price of $10.00 per Unit.

NOTE 3 — PUBLIC OFFERING AND PRIVATE PLACEMENTS:(cont.)

Each Unit (both those sold in the initial Public Offering and in the Private Placement) consists of one Class A ordinary share, $0.0001 par value, and one-half of one warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable for one Class A ordinary share (hereafter — each, a Public Warrant and a Private Warrant, and collectively, the Warrants). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one whole Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Warrants and only whole Warrants trade. Each Warrant will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the Company’s Initial Business Combination and will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, five years after the completion of the Initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption (only in the case of the Public Warrants) or liquidation.

Once the Public Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem them in whole and not in part at a price of $0.01 per Warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, if and only if the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the Public Warrant holders.

The Private Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants except that, for so long as they are held by the Sponsor, EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. or their respective affiliates: (1) will not be redeemable by the Company; (2) may not (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise thereof), subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders thereof until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s Initial Business Combination; (3) may be exercised by the holders thereof on a cashless basis; and (4) they (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise thereof) are entitled to registration rights.

The Company paid an underwriting commission of 2.0% of the gross proceeds of the Public Offering and the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment, or $2,300,000, in the aggregate, to the underwriters at the two closings of the Public Offering. Refer to Note 5(a) for more information regarding an additional fee payable to the underwriters upon the consummation of an Initial Business Combination.

NOTE 4 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

The Company has issued several promissory note agreements to its Sponsor throughout its life term, in order to fulfil its ongoing operational needs or preparations towards an Initial Business Combination. All outstanding promissory notes bear no interest and are repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the Company’s Initial Business Combination, or (b) Second Extended Mandatory Liquidation Date (hereafter and collectively — the Maturity Date).

The First Promissory Note withdrawn was borrowed and repaid in full in early 2021 and has subsequently expired.

Second to Fifth Promissory Notes

On August 9, 2021 the Company issued its Second Promissory Note to the Sponsor, according to which the former may withdraw up to $1 million — which has been withdrawn in full in several installments up until June 2022.

Such private warrants will have an exercise price of $11.5 and shall be identical to the private warrants included in the private units.

Sixth Promissory Note

On February 9, 2023 the Company issued its Sixth Promissory Note to the Sponsor, in an amount of $480 thousand — under which the funds that were loaned by the Sponsor were deposited into the Company’s Trust Account, in connection with the First Extension. The Sponsor provided six monthly injections of $80 thousand into the Company’s Trust Account under the Sixth Promissory Note, starting February 19, 2023.

Seventh Promissory Note

On June 14, 2023 the Company issued its Seventh Promissory Note to the Sponsor in an amount of up to $1 million, of which $210 thousand were withdrawn at the same date; and approximately $586 thousand were withdrawn up until December 31, 2023.

Eighth Promissory Note

On August 18, 2023 the Company issued its Eighth Promissory Note to the Sponsor, in an amount of approximately $154 thousand — under which the funds that were loaned by the Sponsor were deposited into the Company’s Trust Account, in connection with the Second Extension. The Sponsor shall make monthly injections of approximately $13 thousand into the Company’s Trust Account, starting August 19, 2023 and up until the earlier of the Second Extended Mandatory Liquidation Date (or such earlier date that the Board determines to liquidate the Company) or the date on which an Initial Business Combination is completed.

On December 16, 2020 the Company signed an agreement with the Sponsor, under which the Company shall pay the Sponsor a fixed $10 thousand per month for office space, utilities and other administrative expenses. The monthly payments under this administrative services agreement commenced on the effective date of the registration statement for the initial Public Offering and will continue until the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Company’s Initial Business Combination, or (ii) the Company’s liquidation.

The composition of the Related Party balance as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 is as follows:

NOTE 5 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

Under the Business Combination Marketing Agreement, the Company shall pay an additional fee (hereafter — the Deferred Commission) of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the Public Offering (or $4,025,000) payable upon the Company’s completion of the Initial Business Combination. The Deferred Commission will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event the Company completes an Initial Business Combination.

First Deficiency Notice

On March 28, 2023 the Company received a notice from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department indicating that it is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(3) (hereafter — the First Deficiency), according to which the Company must satisfy the Minimum Public Holders Rule which requires listed companies to have at least 300 public holders. The Company has submitted its compliance plan on May 11, 2023 which was accepted by Nasdaq, which has then granted an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the notice — until September 24, 2023 — to evidence compliance with the rule.

On September 27, 2023 the Company received a notice from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department indicating that it has regained compliance with the First Deficiency.

Second Deficiency Notice

On June 15, 2023 the Company received another notice from Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department indicating that it is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (hereafter — the Second Deficiency), according to which the Company must sustain a market value of listed securities of at least $35 million, for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The notice was only a notification of deficiency, not of imminent delisting, and has no current effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

NOTE 6 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:

Following the Second Extension Meeting, the Sponsor converted 2,874,999 of its Class B ordinary shares on a one to one basis into Class A ordinary shares, in an effort to regain compliance with the Second Deficiency.

On November 24, 2023 the Company received a notice from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department indicating that it has regained compliance with the Second Deficiency.

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price).

The fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

NOTE 6 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS: (cont.)

Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs to models are observable (including but not limited to quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit risk), either directly or indirectly;

Level 3: Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including the Management’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).

Basis for Fair Value Measurement

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2023 by level within the fair value hierarchy:

The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was determined using a binomial model to extract the market’s implied probability for an Initial Business Combination, using the Public Warrant’s market price. Once probability was extracted, a Black-Scholes-Merton model with Level 3 inputs was used to calculate the Private Warrants’ fair value. Inherent in a Black-Scholes-Merton model are assumptions related to expected life (term), expected stock price, volatility, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its warrants based on implied volatility from the Company’s traded warrants and from historical volatility of selected peer companies’ Class A ordinary shares that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at zero.

The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 fair value measurements inputs:

NOTE 7 — CAPITAL DEFICIENCY:

Class A Ordinary Shares

On November 20, 2020 the Company issued 100,000 Class A ordinary shares of $0.0001 par value each to designees of the Representative (hereafter — the Representative Shares) for a consideration equal to the par value of the shares. The Representative Shares are deemed to be underwriters’ compensation by FINRA pursuant to Rule 5110 of the FINRA Manual.

The Company accounted for the issuance of the Representative Shares as compensation expenses amounting to $860, with a corresponding credit to Additional Paid-In Capital, for the excess value over the consideration paid. The Company estimated the fair value of the issuance based upon the price of Class B Ordinary Shares that were issued to the Sponsor.

Pursuant to the initial Public Offering and the concurrent Private Placement that were each effected in two closings — on February 19, 2021 and March 3, 2021 — the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 11,500,000 and 380,000 Class A ordinary shares as part of the Units sold in those respective transactions. The Units (which also included Warrants) were sold at a price of $10 per Unit, and for an aggregate consideration of $115 million and $3.8 million in the Public Offering and Private Placement, respectively. See Note 3 above for further information regarding those share issuances.

The Company classified its 11,500,000 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption as temporary equity. The remaining 480,000 Private Class A ordinary shares were classified as permanent equity.

In conjunction with the First and Second Extensions,8,910,433 and 2,074,548 Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption were redeemed, respectively, for their redemption value, including accrued interest. As part of the partial redemptions approximately $113 million has been withdrawn from the Investments held in Trust Account.

Class B Ordinary Shares

On November 20, 2020 the Company issued 2,875,000 Class B ordinary shares of $0.0001 par value each for a total consideration of $25 thousand to the Sponsor’s wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary. Out of the 2,875,000 Class B ordinary shares, up to 375,000 were subject to forfeiture if the underwriters were to not exercise their over-allotment in full or in part. Because the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full on March 3, 2021 that potential forfeiture did not occur.

Class B ordinary shares are convertible into non-redeemable Class A ordinary shares, on a one-for-one basis, automatically on the day of the Business Combination or at the election of the holder thereof at any time prior to the Business Combination. Class B ordinary shares also possess the sole right to vote for the election or removal of directors, until the consummation of an Initial Business Combination.

Refer to Note 5(b) for information regarding the conversion of Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares following the Second Extension Meeting.

The Company is authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 Preferred Shares of $0.0001 par value each. As of December 31, 2023 the Company hasno preferred shares issued and outstanding.

NOTE 8 — NET PROFIT (LOSS) PER SHARE:

The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net profit (loss) per share (in dollars, except share amounts):

The potential exercise of 5,750,000 Public Warrants and 190,000 Private Warrants sold in the Public Offering and Private Placements as detailed in Note 3 into 5,940,000 shares has not been included in the calculation of diluted net profit (loss) per share, since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of a future event.

Additionally, the effect of the conversion of the Second, Third, Forth and Fifth Promissory Notes into an aggregate amount of 1,500,000 private warrants (exercisable into 1,500,000 shares) as detailed in Note 4, has not been included in the calculation of diluted net profit (loss) per share, since the conversion of the abovementioned promissory notes is contingent upon the occurrence of a future event.

As a result, diluted net profit (loss) per share is the same as basic net profit (loss) per share for each of the periods presented, and for each class.

NOTE 10 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

On February 20, 2024, the Company received a notice from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC indicating that unless the Company timely requests a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (hereafter — the Panel), trading of the Company’s securities on The Nasdaq Capital Market would be suspended at the opening of business on February 29, 2024, due to the Company’s non-compliance with Nasdaq IM-5101-2, which requires that a special purpose acquisition company complete one or more business combinations within 36 months of the effectiveness of its IPO registration statement.

The Company timely requested a hearing before the Panel to request sufficient time to complete its previously disclosed proposed business combination with Silexion. The hearing request has resulted in a stay of any suspension or delisting action pending the hearing, which is scheduled to take place on April 23, 2024.

On February 21, 2024, the Company, together with its wholly-owned Israeli subsidiary (hereafter — the Merger Sub), entered into a business combination agreement (hereafter — the BCA) with Silexion Therapeutics Ltd., an Israeli company (hereafter — Silexion).

The Business Combination is expected to close in the third quarter of 2024, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions under the BCA, including the approval of the Business Combination by Silexion’s and the Company’s shareholders, and Nasdaq approval of the initial listing of the combined company’s securities.

Headquartered in Israel, Silexion is a clinical-stage, oncology-focused biotechnology company that develops innovative treatments for unsatisfactorily treated solid tumor cancers which have a mutated KRAS oncogene. The Business Combination values Silexion at a pre-transaction equity value of $62.5 million, based on a $10 price per share.

The BCA and the Business Combination have been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of the Company and Silexion.
