Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
Item 13. Certain Relationships, and Related Transactions and Director Independence
On August 2, 2024, our sponsor entered into a subscription agreement with us to purchase 1,725,000 founder shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.01 per share. Due to the reduction in the offering size, we and our sponsor subsequently amended such securities subscription agreement, pursuant to which we subsequently cancelled 287,500 founder shares such that our sponsor now owns an aggregate of 1,437,500 founder shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. The purchase price of the founder shares was determined by dividing the amount of cash contributed to the company by the number of founder shares issued.
Our sponsor purchased an aggregate of 240,848 private placement units at a price of $10.00 per unit in a private placement that closed simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering. Each unit consists of one private placement share and one private placement right granting the holder thereof the right to receive one-fifth (1/5) of an ordinary share upon the consummation of an initial business combination. The private placement units (including the underlying securities) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by it until after the completion of our initial business combination.
If any of our officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity that falls within the line of business of any entity to which he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she may be required to present such business combination opportunity to such entity prior to presenting such business combination opportunity to us, subject to his or her fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law. Our officers and directors currently have certain relevant fiduciary duties or contractual obligations that may take priority over their duties to us.
We entered into an Administrative Services Agreement with UY Scuti Investments Limited, our sponsor, pursuant to which we pay a total of $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services to such affiliate. Upon completion of our initial business combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees. Accordingly, in the event the consummation of our initial business combination takes the maximum of 24 months, an affiliate of our sponsor will be paid a total of $240,000 ($10,000 per month) for office space, administrative and support services and will be entitled to be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses.
Pursuant to a letter agreement that we entered into with each of our officers, directors and Sponsor, the founder shares, private placement units and any underlying securities are each subject to transfer restrictions pursuant to lock-up provisions in the letter agreement entered into with us by our sponsor. Those lock-up provisions provide that such securities are not transferable or saleable in the case of (A) the founder shares, until the earlier of (x) six months after the date of the consummation of our initial business combination or (y) the date on which the closing price of our ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share surrenders, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after our initial business combination, or (z) we consummate a subsequent liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction after our initial Business Combination which results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property; and (B) in the case of the private placement units and the underlying securities, until the completion of our initial business combination, except in each case (a) to our sponsor’s officers or directors, any affiliates or family members of our sponsor or any of our officers or directors, any members of our sponsor, or any affiliates of our sponsor, (b) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of the individual’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the individual’s immediate family or an affiliate of such person, or to a charitable organization; (c) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual; (d) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (e) in the event of our liquidation prior to our completion of our initial business combination; or (f) by virtue of the laws of the Cayman Islands or our sponsor’s constitutional documents upon dissolution of our sponsor; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (a) through (e) or (f) these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement agreeing to be bound by these transfer restrictions and by the same agreements entered into by our sponsor with respect to such securities (including provisions relating to voting, the trust account and liquidation distributions).
In addition, pursuant to the letter agreement with our initial stockholders, officers and directors, such persons have also agreed: (i) to waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares, private placement shares and public shares in connection with the completion of our initial business combination, (ii) to waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares, private placement shares and public shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide for the redemption of our public shares in connection with an initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we have not consummated our initial business combination within the timeframe set forth therein or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity and (iii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to their founder shares and private placement shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination within 12 months from the closing of our initial public offering (or up to 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination) (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any public shares they hold if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame). If we submit our initial business combination to our public shareholders for a vote, our sponsor has agreed, pursuant to such letter agreement, to vote their founder shares, private placement shares and any public shares purchased during or after our initial public offering in favor of our initial business combination.
Our sponsor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our sponsor, officers, directors or our or their affiliates and will determine which expenses and the amount of expenses that will be reimbursed. There is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on our behalf.
Our sponsor (and/or its designees) had agreed to loan us up to $500,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the initial public offering. As of March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and the date of the prospectus for our initial public offering, we had received advances in the amount of nil, $416,584, and $416,584, respectively, which amount was included in the amounts that were due under the note. This loan was non-interest bearing, unsecured and was due at the earlier of December 31, 2025 or the closing of the initial public offering. The loans were repaid upon the closing of the initial public offering out of the estimated $500,000 of funds reserved for the payment of offering expenses. The amount of the purchase price payable by our sponsor for the private placement units as described above and elsewhere were offset in part by amounts which may be due under the note. The value of our sponsor’s interest in this transaction corresponds to the principal amount outstanding under any such loan.
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete an initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such repayment. Except as described below, the terms of such loans by our officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust account.
On September 12, 2025, we issued the Sponsor 2025 Note in the principal amount of up to $1,000,000 to the Sponsor. The Sponsor 2025 Note bears no interest and was initially repayable by UYSC to the Sponsor in full on the earlier of: (i) March 31, 2026 or (ii) the date of consummation of the Business Combination. The principal balance may be prepaid at any time. At any time on or prior to the maturity date, the Sponsor may elect to convert the outstanding principal balance of the Sponsor 2025 Note into units of UYSC’s securities at a conversion price equal to $10.00 per unit. Each unit consists of one ordinary share and one right to receive one-fifth of one ordinary share. Effective as of March 31, 2026, UYSC and Sponsor agreed to amend and restate the Sponsor 2025 Note (the “Amended Sponsor Note”) to extend the maturity date thereof to be the earlier of: (i) March 31, 2027 or (ii) the date on which UYSC consummates a business combination. Other than the foregoing terms, the Amended Sponsor Note has the same terms as the Sponsor 2025 Note. As of March 31, 2026, the principal amount due under the Amended Sponsor Note was approximately $313,401.
Effective as of March 31, 2026, Sun Peisha (the “Lender”), an individual and the designee of the Sponsor loaned us the amount of $450,000, which amount was deposited into the Trust Account in order to extend the time that we have to consummate an initial business combination for the first three-month extension period to July 1, 2026 (the “First Extension Loan”). On April 25, 2026, a promissory note, which is dated as of April 13, 2026, evidencing the First Extension Loan was executed by the Company and the Lender (the “First Extension Note”). The First Extension Note is unsecured, bears no interest and provides that the Company shall repay the outstanding principal balance of such note on the date on which the Company consummates the business combination transaction contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated July 18, 2025 by and among Isdera Group Limited, Xinghui Automotive Technology (Hainan) Co., Ltd., and UY Scuti Acquisition Corp., and the other parties thereto. On such maturity date, the entire outstanding principal balance of the First Extension Note shall be converted into units of the Company’s securities at a conversion price of $10.00 per unit, with each unit consisting of one Ordinary Share of the Company and one right to receive one-fifth of one Ordinary Share of the Company.
After our initial business combination, members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other fees from the combined company with any and all amounts being fully disclosed to our shareholders, to the extent then known, in the tender offer or proxy solicitation materials, as applicable, furnished to our shareholders. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of distribution of such tender offer materials or at the time of a shareholder meeting held to consider our initial business combination, as applicable, as it will be up to the directors of the post-combination business to determine executive and director compensation.
We have entered into a registration rights agreement with respect to the founder shares, private placement units and units issued upon conversion of working capital loans (if any), and the securities underlying the private placement units and the working capital loans (if any). Under this registration rights agreement, the holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our completion of our initial business combination and rights to require us to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Related Party Policy
We have not yet adopted a formal policy for the review, approval or ratification of related party transactions. Accordingly, the transactions discussed above were not reviewed, approved or ratified in accordance with any such policy.
We have adopted a code of ethics requiring us to avoid, wherever possible, all conflicts of interests, except under guidelines or resolutions approved by our Board of Directors (or the appropriate committee of our board) or as disclosed in our public filings with the SEC. Under our code of ethics, conflict of interest situations will include any financial transaction, arrangement or relationship (including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness) involving the company. A form of the code of ethics that we adopted was filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which the prospectus formed a part.
In addition, our audit committee, pursuant to its written charter, is responsible for reviewing and approving related party transactions to the extent that we enter into such transactions. An affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the audit committee present at a meeting at which a quorum is present will be required in order to approve a related party transaction. A majority of the members of the entire audit committee will constitute a quorum. Without a meeting, the unanimous written consent of all of the members of the audit committee will be required to approve a related party transaction. A form of the audit committee charter that we adopted was filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which the prospectus formed a part. We also require each of our directors and executive officers to complete a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire that elicits information about related party transactions.
These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer.
To further minimize conflicts of interest, we have agreed not to consummate an initial business combination with an entity that is affiliated with any of our sponsor, officers or directors unless we, or a committee of independent directors, have obtained an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent firm that commonly renders valuation opinions for the type of company we are seeking to acquire or an independent accounting firm, that our initial business combination is fair to our company from a financial point of view. Furthermore, no finder’s fees, reimbursements or cash payments will be made to our sponsor, officers or directors, or our or their affiliates, for services rendered to us prior to or in connection with the completion of our initial business combination. However, the following payments will be made to our sponsor, officers or directors, or our or their affiliates, none of which will be made from the proceeds of the initial public offering held in the trust account prior to the completion of our initial business combination:
| ● | Repayment of up to an aggregate of up to $500,000 in loans made to us by our sponsor to cover offering-related and organizational expenses; |
| ● | Payment to an affiliate of our sponsor UY Scuti Investments Limited of $10,000 per month, for 12 months (or up to 24 months if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination), for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support; |
| ● | Reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and completing an initial business combination; and |
| ● | Repayment of loans which may be made by our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or certain of our officers and directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination. Except as described above, the terms of such loans have not been determined nor have any written agreements been executed with respect thereto. |
Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our sponsor, officers or directors, or our or their affiliates.
