Item 11. Executive Compensation

Compensation of our Executive Officers and Directors

As we are a special purpose acquisition company, formed for the purpose of effecting a business combination, our primary objective with respect to executive and director compensation is to retain the executives and directors to help identify and close a business combination.

Commencing on the date that the Company’s securities were first listed on the NYSE through the earlier of consummation of the Company’s initial business combination or our liquidation, the Company has agreed to pay GigManagement, LLC a total of $30,000 per month for office space and general and administrative services. GigManagement, LLC is an affiliate of the Company’s Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. This arrangement was agreed to by an affiliate of the Company’s Executive Chairman and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer for the Company’s benefit and is not intended to provide such affiliate of the Company’s Executive Chairman and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer compensation in lieu of a salary. The Company believes that such fees are at least as favorable as it could have obtained from an unaffiliated third party for such services.

On September 23, 2021, the Company entered into a Strategic Services Agreement with Mr. Weightman, its Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer, who holds 5,000 Insider Shares. Mr. Weightman is initially receiving $2,500 per month for his services and such amount could increase to up to $15,000 per month dependent upon the scope of services provided, as may be mutually agreed by the parties. The Company will pay Mr. Weightman for services rendered since September 23, 2021 and on a monthly basis thereafter for all services rendered after the consummation of the Offering.

In accordance with what was provided for in the prospectus, on September 28, 2021, the Board of Directors approved the payment by the Company of advisory fees to directors in connection with certain activities on the Company’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations as well as pertaining to Board of Directors committee service and administrative and analytical services. These advisory fees will be paid quarterly, and include payments to Dr. Avi Katz, the Executive Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors and Dr. Raluca Dinu, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The quarterly amounts approved are as follows, of which one quarterly payment was made in 2021 and no payments have been made in 2022 and 2023, with $696,000 in payments in the aggregate remaining as outstanding and to be paid upon the consummation of the Business Combination:

DirectorQuarterlyCompensation
Dr. Avi Katz$30,000
Dr. Raluca Dinu$30,000
Dorothy D. Hayes$15,000
Raanan I. Horowitz$12,000
Karen Rogge$—

Our officers and directors will be reimbursed for any

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 reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our Sponsor, officers, directors, advisors or our or their affiliates. Any such payments prior to an initial business combination will be made using funds held outside the Trust Account. Other than quarterly audit committee review of such payments, we do not have any additional controls in place governing our reimbursement payments to our directors and executive officers for their

expenses incurred in connection with identifying and consummating an initial business combination.

After the completion of our initial business combination, directors or members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting or management fees from the Combined Company. We have not established any limit on the amount of such fees that may be paid by the Combined Company to our directors or members of management. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of the proposed initial business combination, because the directors of the Combined Company will be responsible for determining officer and director compensation.

We do not intend to take any action to ensure that members of our management team maintain their positions with us after the consummation of our initial business combination, although it is possible that some or all of our officers and directors may negotiate employment or consulting arrangements to remain with us after our initial business combination. We are not party to any agreements with our officers and directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment.

Following are the tabular disclosures of our executive officer and director compensation for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023:
