Explanatory Note

General

Plum Acquisition Corp. I (“Plum,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our, unless context dictates otherwise) is filing this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (this “Report,” “Form 10-K,” or “Annual Report”). This Form 10-K contains our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, as well as restates certain financial information and related footnote disclosures in the Company’s previously issued unaudited interim financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023, filed with the SEC on May 23, 2023, August 21, 2023 and November 22, 2023 (collectively, the “Affected Periods”).

Background of Restatement

On February 10, 2024, the Company’s management and the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors (the “Audit Committee”), concluded that the Company’s previously issued unaudited interim financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the Affected Periods (“Original Quarterly Reports”) should be restated and no longer be relied upon due to misstatements in (i) debt discount, subscription liability, additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit on the Company’s condensed balance sheet as of March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023 and (ii) change in fair value of subscription liability and interest expense – debt discount on the Company’s condensed statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023, three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. As such, the Company is restating the Company’s financial statements for the Affected Periods in this Form 10-K.

The restatement does not have an impact on the Company’s cash position or amount held in the trust account.

The financial information that has been previously filed or otherwise reported for the Affected Periods is superseded by the information in this Form 10-K, and the financial statements and related financial information contained in the Original Quarterly Reports should no longer be relied upon. On February 14, 2024, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing the Audit Committee’s conclusion that the unaudited interim financial statements for the Affected Periods should no longer be relied upon.

Internal Control Considerations

In connection with the restatement, management has re-evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, and September 30, 2023. The Company’s management has concluded that, in light of the misstatement described above, and the filing of the Original Quarterly Reports, a material weakness exists in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. For a discussion of management’s consideration of our disclosure controls and procedures, internal controls over financial reporting, and the material weaknesses identified, see Part II, Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures” of this Form 10-K.
