Current report

You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with all of the other information included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The value of your investment in the Company will be subject to the significant risks affecting the Company and inherent to the industry in which it operates. The risk factors described below disclose material and other risks, are not intended to be exhaustive and are not the only risks faced by the Company. Additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect the business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in future periods of the Company. The occurrence of any of these events could cause the trading price of our Common Stock to decline, perhaps significantly, and you therefore may lose all or part of your investment. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to the financial statements included herein.

Current report

It may be difficult to evaluate our business prospects, and our operating results may fluctuate.

Current report

Our operating results may fluctuate because of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. Fluctuations in our results of operations may be due to a number of factors, including:

Current report

Our operating results may fluctuate due to seasonality.

Current report

Our quarterly and annual operating results have fluctuated in the past and likely will fluctuate in the future. The demand for our products is driven largely by the demand for the end-product applications that are powered by our products which can vary on seasonality. We expect high demand from our customers in holiday seasons such as the third and fourth quarters in a year compared to lower demand in the first and second quarters in a year.

Current report

We have a history of net losses.

Current report

We have a history of net losses. The Company incurred a net loss of $24,817,342 for the year ended December 31, 2025, and had net losses in 2024 and 2023. We have historically funded our operations and capital needs primarily through borrowings from a related party, Ants Technology (HK) Limited (“Ants”). There can be no assurance that AMC will be successful in achieving its strategic plans, that AMC’s future capital raises will be sufficient to support its ongoing operations, or that any additional financing will be available in a timely manner or with acceptable terms, if at all. If AMC is unable to raise sufficient financing or events or circumstances occur such that AMC does not meet its strategic plans, it would have a material adverse effect on AMC’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and ability to achieve its intended business objectives.

Current report

In connection with the audits of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we and our independent registered public accounting firm identified four material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal controls, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Current report

The material weaknesses that have been identified for AMC are as follows:

Current report

(1) Lack of Experienced Accounting Team — AMC lacks qualified in-house accounting staff and resources with adequate knowledge of U.S. GAAP. A third-party consulting firm has been engaged to prepare financial statements and footnote disclosures in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Current report

(2) Lack of Duty Segregations — The Company separates the duties at certain areas, but there is only one person responsible for various functions of the Company, including processing payments and Human Resource functions. All other individuals involved in these processes are engaged through independent contractor roles.

Current report

(3) Lack of sufficient inventory management process and control system — AMC does not have a sufficient inventory management process or control system.

Current report

(4) Lack of proper approval for related party transactions — AMC lacks a formal approval process for related party transactions.

Current report

To remediate our material weaknesses, we have begun and will continue to: (1) hire additional qualified accounting staff with appropriate knowledge and experience in U.S. GAAP and SEC financial reporting requirements, while strengthening period-end financial reporting controls and procedures; (2) establish an ongoing program to provide adequate training for financial reporting and accounting personnel, particularly on U.S. GAAP and SEC requirements; (3) assign clear roles and responsibilities to accounting staff and the management team to establish segregation of duties and improve inventory processes; and (4) implement a thorough review and approval process for related party transactions.

Current report

However, we cannot assure that we will remediate our material weaknesses in a timely manner, or at all. If we fail to implement and maintain effective internal controls to remediate the material weaknesses over financial reporting, we may be unable to accurately report our results of operations, meet our reporting obligations or prevent fraud. As a result, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the price of our Common Stock could be negatively affected. We could also become subject to investigations by the SEC, Nasdaq or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial and management resources. In addition, if we fail to remedy any material weakness, our financial statements could be inaccurate and we could face restricted access to capital markets.

Current report

We are exposed to risks relating to price fluctuations of hardware cost.

Current report

Prices of hardware have a significant impact on our cost of sales. In 2025, costs of hardware accounted for 78% of the final price sold in the market for the period, as compared to 81% in 2024. Parts and accessories for our products primarily include lenses, lithium batteries, infrared sensors and integrated chips. The current or expected supply of our key hardware parts and accessories may fluctuate depending on a number of factors beyond our control, including but not limited to the availability of resources in the supplier market, market demand, market disruptions, natural disasters and other factors. Government tariffs that are imposed may also impact the availability and cost of our key hardware parts and accessories. We may not be able to obtain stable, high-quality parts and accessories at reasonable prices. If prices rise, it would have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

Current report

The markets in which we participate are highly competitive and many companies, including large technology companies, are actively targeting the home automation, security monitoring and video monitoring markets. If we are unable to compete effectively with these companies, our sales and profitability could be adversely affected.

Current report

We compete in several markets, including home automation, security monitoring and video monitoring. The markets in which we participate are highly competitive and competition may intensify in the future.

Current report

Our ability to compete depends on a number of factors, including:

Current report

Consumers may prefer to purchase from their existing suppliers rather than a new supplier regardless of product performance or features. In the event a consumer decides to evaluate a new product or a solution, the consumer may be more inclined to select one of our competitors whose product offerings are broader than those that we offer.

Current report

Aggressive business tactics by our competitors may reduce our revenue.

Current report

Increased competition in the markets in which we compete may result in aggressive business tactics by our competitors, including:

Current report

Our service providers may switch and offer the products and services of competing companies, which would adversely affect our sales and profitability. Competition from other companies may also adversely affect our negotiations with service providers and suppliers, including, in some cases, requiring us to lower our prices. Opportunities to take market share using innovative products, services and sales approaches may also attract new entrants to the field. We may not be able to compete successfully with the offerings and sales tactics of other companies, which could result in the loss of service providers offering our platform and products and, as a result, our revenue and profitability could be adversely affected.

Current report

If we fail to compete successfully against our current and future competitors, or if our current or future competitors employ aggressive business tactics, including those described above, demand for our platforms and products could decline, we could experience cancellations of our services to consumers, or we could be required to reduce our prices or increase our expenses.

Current report

We receive a substantial portion of our revenue from a limited number of service providers, and the loss of, or a significant reduction in, orders from one or more of our major service providers would result in decreased revenue and profitability.

Current report

Our success is highly dependent upon establishing and maintaining successful relationships with a variety of service providers. We generally enter into agreements with our service providers outlining the terms of our relationship, including service provider pricing commitments, maintenance and support requirements. These contracts typically have an initial term of three years, with subsequent renewal terms. While we have developed a network of service providers, we receive a substantial portion of our revenue from a limited number of service providers. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, one customer, Kami Vision Incorporated (“Kami”), a related party to AMC, contributed approximately 52% of AMC’s revenue and accounted for 79% of AMC’s accounts receivable at December 31, 2025. The loss of one or more key service provider, a reduction in sales through any major service provider, the inability of any customer to fulfill its financial obligations or the inability or unwillingness of any of our major service provider to pay for our products reduce our revenue and could impair our profitability. Additionally, this concentration exposes AMC to potential collection risks and could increase its vulnerability to any economic downturns or operational disruptions affecting key customers.

Current report

Mergers or other strategic transactions involving our competitors could weaken our competitive position, which could adversely affect our ability to compete effectively and harm our results of operations.

Current report

Our industry is highly fragmented, and we believe it is likely that some of our existing competitors will consolidate or be acquired. In addition, some of our competitors may enter into new alliances with each other or may establish or strengthen cooperative relationships with systems integrators, third-party consulting firms or other parties. Any such consolidation, acquisition, alliance or cooperative relationship could adversely affect our ability to compete effectively and lead to pricing pressure and our loss of market share and could result in a competitor with greater financial, technical, marketing, service and other resources, all of which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Current report

A significant decline in subscriber retention, renewal rates, or usage of services provided by our business partners would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Current report

A significant portion of our revenue is derived from arrangements with related-party service providers, including SaaS and platform-based services offered by such provider. Our revenue is therefore dependent, in part, on the number of active subscribers to these services and their level of usage of platform features. Subscribers may elect to terminate or reduce their use of such services at any time. If the related party service provider is unable to attract, retain, or expand their subscriber base, or if subscriber engagement declines, our revenue and ability to grow could be adversely affected.

Current report

We do not control the contractual relationship between the related party service provider and their subscribers, and we do not independently determine renewal rates. As a result, we have limited visibility into, and ability to influence, subscriber retention and renewal trends. Accordingly, we may not be able to accurately predict future trends in renewals, usage, or churn associated with these services.

Current report

Subscribers may choose not to renew their contracts or may reduce usage for a variety of reasons, including dissatisfaction with the service, pricing considerations, reduced discretionary spending, or a belief that competing services provide better value. In addition, subscriber behavior may be affected by factors outside of our or our business partners’ control, such as changes in economic conditions, relocation, or the dissolution of a business.

Current report

A significant decline in subscriber retention, renewal rates, or usage levels associated with this related party services would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.

Current report

If we are unable to develop new products, sell our platform and products into new markets or further penetrate our existing markets, our revenue may not grow as expected.

Current report

Our ability to increase sales will depend in large part on our ability to enhance and improve our platform and products, introduce new products in a timely manner, sell into new markets and further penetrate our existing markets. The success of any enhancement or new solution or service depends on several factors, including the timely completion, introduction and market acceptance of enhanced or new products, the ability to maintain and develop relationships with service providers, the ability to attract, retain and effectively train sales and marketing personnel and the effectiveness of our marketing programs. Any new product or service we develop or acquire may not be introduced in a timely or cost-effective manner, and may not achieve the broad market acceptance necessary to generate significant revenue. Any new markets into which we attempt to sell our platform and products, including new vertical markets and new countries or regions, may not be receptive. Our ability to further penetrate our existing markets depends on the quality of our platform and products and our ability to design our platform and products to meet consumer demand.

Current report

We rely on wireless carriers to provide access to wireless networks through which we provide our wireless alarm, notification and intelligent automation services, and any interruption of such access would impair our business.

Current report

We rely on wireless carriers to provide access to wireless networks for machine-to-machine data transmissions, which are an integral part of our services. Our wireless carriers may suspend wireless service to expand, maintain or improve their networks. Any suspension or other interruption of services would adversely affect our ability to provide our services to our service providers and subscribers and may adversely affect our reputation. In addition, the inability to maintain our existing contracts with our wireless carriers or enter into new contracts with such wireless carriers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Current report

Any security incident, other technology disruption, or failure to comply with laws and regulations relating to privacy and processing of personal information could result in damage to AMC’s brand and reputation, material financial penalties, and legal liability, any of which could negatively impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Current report

AMC’s business involves the use of computers in substantially all aspects of its business operations. AMC also uses mobile devices, social networking and other online activities to connect with its employees, suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, customers and consumers. As AMC pursues new initiatives that grow its operations, including acquisitions, AMC may also be required to expand and improve its information technologies, resulting in a larger technological presence and corresponding exposure to cybersecurity risk. Security incidents can take a variety of forms and are constantly evolving due to the increasing sophistication of threat actors, each of which increases the difficulty of detecting and successfully defending against them. If AMC fails to assess, identify, and respond to cybersecurity risks associated with the expansion and evolution of its business or the increasing sophistication of hackers, AMC may become increasingly vulnerable to such risks.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Previous report

You should carefully consider the following risks and other information in this Form 10-K in evaluating us and our capital stock. Any of the following risks, as well as additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations, and could, in turn, impact the trading price of our capital stock.

Previous report

We are a Cayman Islands exempted company with no operating results, and we will not commence operations until obtaining funding through our Initial Public Offering. Because we lack an operating history, you have no basis upon which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective of completing our initial business combination with one or more target businesses. We have no plans, arrangements or understandings with any prospective target business concerning a business combination and may be unable to complete our business combination. If we fail to complete our business combination, we will never generate any operating revenues.

Previous report

As of December 31, 2024, we had a working capital deficiency of $1,745,636. Further, we expect to incur significant costs in pursuit of our acquisition plans. Management’s plans to address this need for capital through our Initial Public Offering are discussed in the section of this Form 10-K titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Our plans to raise capital and to consummate our initial business combination may not be successful. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements contained elsewhere in this Form 10-K do not include any adjustments that might result from our inability to consummate our Initial Public Offering or our inability to continue as a going concern.

Previous report

We may not hold a shareholder vote to approve our initial business combination unless the business combination would require shareholder approval under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements or if we decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons. Except as required by law, the decision as to whether we will seek shareholder approval of a proposed business combination or will allow shareholders to sell their shares to us in a tender offer will be made by us, solely in our discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors, such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require us to seek shareholder approval. Accordingly, we may complete our initial business combination even if holders of a majority of our public shares do not approve of the business combination we complete.

Previous report

Unlike many other blank check companies in which the Initial Shareholders agree to vote their Founder Shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the public shareholders in connection with an initial business combination, our Initial Shareholders have agreed to vote their Founder Shares and private shares, as well as any public shares purchased during or after our Initial Public Offering, in favor of our initial business combination.

Previous report

As a result, in addition to our Initial Shareholders’ Founder Shares, we would do not need any of the 3,854,856 public shares outstanding to be voted in favor of an initial business combination in order to have our initial business combination approved (assuming all outstanding shares are voted and the EBC Founder Shares are voted in favor of a business combination). Our Founder Shares and private shares will represent 55.2% of our outstanding Ordinary Shares immediately following the Redemptions. Accordingly, if we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination, it is more likely that the necessary shareholder approval will be received than would be the case if our Initial Shareholders agreed to vote their Founder Shares and private shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by our public shareholders.

Previous report

In recent years and especially since the fourth quarter of 2020, the number of special purpose acquisition companies that have been formed has increased substantially. Many potential targets for special purpose acquisition companies have already entered into an initial business combination, and there are still many special purpose acquisition companies seeking targets for their initial business combination, as well as many such companies currently in registration. As a result, at times, fewer attractive targets may be available, and it may require more time, more effort and more resources to identify a suitable target and to consummate an initial business combination.

Previous report

The increased cost and decreased availability of directors and officers liability insurance could make it more difficult and more expensive for us to negotiate an initial business combination. In order to obtain directors and officers liability insurance or modify its coverage as a result of becoming a public company, the post-business combination entity will likely need to incur greater expense, accept less favorable terms or both. However, any failure to obtain adequate directors and officers liability insurance could have an adverse impact on the post-business combination’s ability to attract and retain qualified officers and directors.

Previous report

Our Sponsor has the right to extend the term we have to consummate our initial business combination up to 33 months from the closing of our Initial Public Offering without providing our shareholders with a corresponding redemption right.

Previous report

We will have up to 24 months from the closing of our Initial Public Offering to consummate an initial business combination. However, if we anticipate that we may not be able to consummate our initial business combination within 33 months, we may, by resolution of our Board of Directors, if requested by our Sponsor, extend the period of time we will have to consummate an initial business combination up to nine times, each by an additional one month (for a total of up to 33 months from the closing of our Initial Public Offering), provided that, pursuant to the terms of our Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, as amended, and the Trust Agreement to be entered into between us and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company on December 22, 2022, as amended on December 18, 2024, in order for the time available for us to consummate our initial business combination to be extended, our Sponsor or their affiliates or designees, upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable deadline, must deposit into the trust account $55,000 for each month in an extension, on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline. Our public shareholders will not be entitled to vote or redeem their shares in connection with any such extension.

Previous report

In the event that our Sponsor elects to extend the time to complete a business combination, pay the additional amounts per each extension, and deposit the applicable amount of money into trust, our Sponsor will receive a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note equal to the amount of any such deposit and payment that will not be repaid in the event that we are unable to close a business combination unless there are funds available outside the trust account to do so. In the event that we receive notice from our Sponsor five days prior to the applicable deadline of their intent to effect an extension, we intend to issue a press release announcing such intention at least three days prior to the applicable deadline. In addition, we intend to issue a press release the day after the applicable deadline announcing whether or not the funds had been timely deposited. Our Sponsor and its affiliates or designees are not obligated to fund the trust account to extend the time for us to complete our initial business combination. If we are unable to consummate our initial business combination within such time period, we will, as promptly as possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem 100% of our outstanding public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the trust account, including a pro rata portion of any interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, and then seek to dissolve and liquidate. However, we may not be able to distribute such amounts as a result of claims of creditors which may take priority over the claims of our public shareholders. In the event of our dissolution and liquidation, the Rights and Private Placement Units will expire and be worthless.

Previous report

Any potential target business with which we enter into negotiations concerning a business combination will be aware that we must complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our Initial Public Offering, or if we decide to extend the period of time to consummate our business combination, within 33 months from the closing of our Initial Public Offering (as further described in our Registration Statement). Consequently, such target business may obtain leverage over us in negotiating a business combination, knowing that if we do not complete our initial business combination with that particular target business, we may be unable to complete our initial business combination with any target business. This risk will increase as we get closer to the timeframe described above. In addition, we may have limited time to conduct due diligence and may enter into our initial business combination on terms that we would have rejected upon a more comprehensive investigation.

Previous report

We may not be able to complete our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame, in which case we would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and we would redeem our public shares and liquidate, in which case our public shareholders may only receive $10.20 per share, or less than such amount in certain circumstances, and our Rights will expire worthless.

Previous report

Our Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, as amended, provides that we must complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our Initial Public Offering, or we may, but are not obligated to, extend the period of time to consummate our business combination up to nine times by an additional one month each time, for a total of up to 33 months (as further described in our Registration Statement). We may not be able to find a suitable target business and complete our initial business combination within such time period. Our ability to complete our initial business combination may be negatively impacted by general market conditions, volatility in the capital and debt markets and the other risks described herein. If we have not completed our initial business combination within such time period, we 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 earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes (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), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such case, our public shareholders may only receive $10.20 per share or less in certain circumstances, and our Rights will expire worthless. In certain circumstances, our public shareholders may receive less than $10.20 per share on the redemption of their shares. See “— If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $10.20 per share” and other risk factors in this section.

Previous report

If we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination, our Initial Shareholders and their affiliates may elect to purchase Ordinary Shares or Rights from public shareholders, which may influence a vote on a proposed business combination and reduce the public “float” of our Ordinary Shares or Rights.

Previous report

If we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our Sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or any of their affiliates may purchase public shares or Rights in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of our initial business combination, although they are under no obligation or duty to do so. Any price paid for such securities may be less than the amount a public shareholder would receive if it elected to redeem its shares in connection with our initial business combination. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgment that such shareholder, although still the record holder of our shares is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that our Sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or any of their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from public shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. It is intended that, if Rule 10b-18 would apply to purchases by our Sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or any of their affiliates, then such purchases will comply with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act, to the extent it applies, which provides a safe harbor for purchases made under certain conditions, including with respect to timing, pricing and volume of purchases.

Previous report

Additionally, at any time at or prior to our initial business combination, subject to applicable securities laws (including with respect to material nonpublic information), our Sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or any of their affiliates may enter into transactions with investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire public shares, vote their public shares in favor of our initial business combination or not redeem their public shares. However, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. None of the funds in the trust account will be used to purchase public shares or Rights in such transactions.

Previous report

The purpose of any such transactions could be to (1) increase the likelihood of obtaining shareholder approval of the business combination by purchasing shares from holders that would have voted against a proposed transaction (as those shares would no longer be voted on the proposed transaction), (2) reduce the number of Rights outstanding and/or increase the likelihood of approval on any matters submitted to the Rights holders for approval in connection with our initial business combination or (3) satisfy a closing condition in an agreement with a target that requires us to have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash at the closing of our initial business combination, where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met. Any such purchases of our securities may result in the completion of our initial business combination that may not otherwise have been possible.

Previous report

In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of our securities may be reduced and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, which may make it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements. Additionally, in the event our Sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or their affiliates were to purchase shares or Rights from public shareholders, such purchases would be structured in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act including, in pertinent part, through adherence to the following:

Previous report

Our public shareholders will be entitled to receive funds from the trust account only upon the earliest to occur of: (i) our completion of an initial business combination, and then only in connection with those public shares that such shareholder properly elected to redeem, subject to the limitations described in our Registration Statement, (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend our Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, as amended, (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our Initial Public Offering, or if we decide to extend the period of time to consummate our business combination, within 33 months from the closing of our Initial Public Offering (as further described in our Registration Statement) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity and (iii) the redemption of our public shares if we are unable to complete an initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our Initial Public Offering, or if we decide to extend the period of time to consummate our business combination, within 33 months from the closing of our Initial Public Offering (as further described in our Registration Statement), subject to applicable law and as further described herein. In addition, if we are unable to complete an initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our Initial Public Offering, or if we decide to extend the period of time to consummate our business combination, within 33 months from the closing of our Initial Public Offering (as further described in our Registration Statement) for any reason, compliance with Cayman Islands law may require that we submit a plan of dissolution to our then-existing shareholders for approval prior to the distribution of the proceeds held in our trust account. In that case, public shareholders may be forced to wait beyond the 24 months from the closing of our Initial Public Offering, or if we decide to extend the period of time to consummate our business combination, beyond the 33 months from the closing of our Initial Public Offering (as further described in our Registration Statement) before they receive funds from our trust account. In no other circumstances will a public shareholder have any right or interest of any kind in the trust account. Accordingly, to liquidate your investment, you may be forced to sell your public shares or Rights, potentially at a loss.

Previous report

Since the net proceeds of our Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units are intended to be used to complete an initial business combination with a target business that has not been selected, we may be deemed to be a “blank check” company under the United States securities laws. However, because we will have net tangible assets in excess of $5,000,000 upon the successful completion of our Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units and will file a Current Report on Form 8-K, including an audited balance sheet demonstrating this fact, we are exempt from rules promulgated by the SEC to protect investors in blank check companies, such as Rule 419. Accordingly, investors will not be afforded the benefits or protections of those rules. Among other things, this means our units will be immediately tradable as opposed to companies subject to Rule 419. Moreover, if our Initial Public Offering were subject to Rule 419, that rule would prohibit the release of any interest earned on funds held in the trust account to us unless and until the funds in the trust account were released to us in connection with our completion of an initial business combination.

Previous report

If we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, as amended, provides that a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares sold in our Initial Public Offering, which we refer to as the “Excess Shares.” However, our Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, as amended, does not restrict our shareholders’ ability to vote all of their shares (including Excess Shares) for or against our business combination. Your inability to redeem the Excess Shares will reduce your influence over our ability to complete our business combination and you could suffer a material loss on your investment in us if you sell Excess Shares in open market transactions. Additionally, you will not receive redemption distributions with respect to the Excess Shares if we complete our business combination. As a result, you will continue to hold that number of shares exceeding 15% and, in order to dispose of such shares, would be required to sell your share in open market transactions, potentially at a loss.

Previous report

Because of our limited resources and the significant competition for business combination opportunities, it may be more difficult for us to complete our initial business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our public shareholders may receive only approximately $10.20 per share on our redemption of our public shares, or less than such amount in certain circumstances, and our Rights will expire worthless.

Previous report

Furthermore, because we are obligated to pay cash for the Ordinary Shares which our public shareholders redeem in connection with our initial business combination, target companies will be aware that this may reduce the resources available to us for our initial business combination. This may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating a business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our public shareholders may receive only approximately $10.20 per share, or less in certain circumstances, on the liquidation of our trust account and our Rights will expire worthless. In certain circumstances, our public shareholders may receive less than $10.20 per share upon our liquidation. See “— If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $10.20 per share” and other risk factors in this section.

Previous report

If the net proceeds of our Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units not being held in the trust account are insufficient to allow us to operate for at least the next 24 months from the closing of our Initial Public Offering, or if we decide to extend the period of time to consummate our business combination, the next 33 months from the closing of our Initial Public Offering (as further described in our Registration Statement), we may be unable to complete our initial business combination, in which case our public shareholders may only receive $10.20 per share, or less than such amount in certain circumstances, and our Rights will expire worthless.

The funds available to us outside of the trust account may not be sufficient to allow us to operate for at least the next 24 months from the closing of our Initial Public Offering, or if we decide to extend the period of time to consummate our business combination, the next 33 months from the closing of our Initial Public Offering (as further described in our Registration Statement), assuming that our initial business combination is not completed during that time. We believe that, upon the closing of our Initial Public Offering, the funds available to us outside of the trust account will be sufficient to allow us to operate for at least the next 24 months from the closing of our Initial Public Offering, or if we decide to extend the period of time to consummate our business combination, the next 33 months from the closing of our Initial Public Offering (as further described in our Registration Statement); however, we cannot assure you that our estimate is accurate. Of the funds available to us, we could use a portion of the funds available to us to pay fees to consultants to assist us with our search for a target business. We could also use a portion of the funds as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision (a provision in letters of intent or merger agreements designed to keep target businesses from “shopping” around for transactions with other companies on terms more favorable to such target businesses) with respect to a particular proposed business combination, although we do not have any current intention to do so. If we entered into a letter of intent or merger agreement where we paid for the right to receive exclusivity from a target business and were subsequently required to forfeit such funds (whether as a result of our breach or otherwise), we might not have sufficient funds to continue searching for, or conduct due diligence with respect to, a target business. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our public shareholders may receive only approximately $10.20 per share or less in certain circumstances on the liquidation of our trust account and our Rights will expire worthless. In certain circumstances, our public shareholders may receive less than $10.20 per share upon our liquidation. See “— If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $10.20 per share” and other risk factors in this section.

If the net proceeds of our Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units not being held in the trust account are insufficient, it could limit the amount available to fund our search for a target business or businesses and complete our initial business combination and we will depend on loans from our Initial Shareholders or management team to fund our search for a business combination, to pay our taxes and to complete our initial business combination. If we are unable to obtain these loans, we may be unable to complete our initial business combination.

Previous report

Of the net proceeds of our Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units, only approximately $650,000 will be available to us initially outside the trust account to fund our working capital requirements. In the event that our offering expenses exceed our estimate of $550,000 (excluding underwriting discount), we may fund such excess with funds not to be held in the trust account. In such case, the amount of funds we intend to be held outside the trust account would decrease by a corresponding amount. Conversely, in the event that the offering expenses are less than our estimate of $550,000 (excluding underwriting discount), the amount of funds we intend to be held outside the trust account would increase by a corresponding amount. If we are required to seek additional capital, we would need to borrow funds from our Initial Shareholders or their affiliates to operate, or we may be forced to liquidate. None of our Initial Shareholders nor any of their affiliates is under any obligation to advance funds to us in such circumstances. Any such advances would be repaid only from funds held outside the trust account or from funds released to us upon completion of our initial business combination. We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our Initial Shareholders or an affiliate of our Initial Shareholders 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 but in the event that we seek loans from any third parties, we will obtain a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust account. If we are unable to obtain these loans, we may be unable to complete our initial business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the trust account. Consequently, our public shareholders may only receive approximately $10.20 per share on our redemption of our public shares, and our Rights will expire worthless. In certain circumstances, our public shareholders may receive less than $10.20 per share on the redemption of their shares. See “— If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $10.20 per share” and other risk factors in this section.

Our Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, as amended, does not provide a specified maximum redemption threshold. As a result, we may be able to complete our business combination even though a substantial majority of our public shareholders do not agree with the transaction and have redeemed their shares or, if we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination and do not conduct redemptions in connection with our business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, have entered into privately negotiated agreements to sell their shares to our Initial Shareholders, advisors or their affiliates. In the event the aggregate cash consideration we would be required to pay for all Ordinary Shares that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the proposed business combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to us, we will not complete the business combination or redeem any shares, all Ordinary Shares submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof, and we instead may search for an alternate business combination.

If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $10.20 per share.

Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third-party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason. Upon redemption of our public shares, if we are unable to complete our business combination within the prescribed timeframe, or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with our business combination, we will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against us within the 10 years following redemption. Accordingly, the per-share redemption amount received by public shareholders could be less than the $10.20 per share initially held in the trust account, due to claims of such creditors. Our Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below (i) $10.20 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the trust account and except as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of our Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, then our Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. We have not independently verified whether our Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that our Sponsor’s only assets are securities of our company. We have not asked our Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations. Therefore, we believe it is unlikely that our Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the trust account, the funds available for our initial business combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.20 per public share. In such event, we may not be able to complete our initial business combination, and you w…

We may seek to complete a business combination with an operating company in any industry or sector or geographical location. However, we will not, under our Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, as amended, be permitted to complete our business combination with another blank check company or similar company with nominal operations. Because we have not yet selected or approached any specific target business with respect to a business combination, there is no basis to evaluate the possible merits or risks of any particular target business’s operations, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity, financial condition or prospects. To the extent we complete our business combination, we may be affected by numerous risks inherent in the business operations with which we combine. For example, if we combine with a financially unstable business or an entity lacking an established record of revenues or earnings, we may be affected by the risks inherent in the business and operations of a financially unstable or a development stage entity. Although our officers and directors will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business, we cannot assure you that we will properly ascertain or assess all the significant risk factors or that we will have adequate time to complete due diligence. Furthermore, some of these risks may be outside of our control and leave us with no ability to control or reduce the chances that those risks will adversely impact a target business. We also cannot assure you that an investment in our units will ultimately prove to be more favorable to investors than a direct investment, if such opportunity were available, in a business combination target. Accordingly, any shareholders who choose to remain shareholders following the business combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares. Such shareholders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value.

Information regarding performance by, or businesses associated with our management team and our Initial Shareholders and their affiliates is presented for informational purposes only. Past performance by our management team and our Initial Shareholders is not a guarantee either (i) that we will be able to locate a suitable candidate for our initial business combination or (ii) of success with respect to any business combination we may consummate. The majority of our officers, directors and advisors have not had management experience with special purpose acquisition corporations in the past. You should not rely on the historical record of our management team’s, our advisors’ or our Initial Shareholders’ respective performance as indicative of our future performance of an investment in us or the returns we will, or are likely to, generate going forward. Furthermore, an investment in us is not an investment in our Initial Shareholders or their affiliates.

We will consider a business combination outside of our management’s area of expertise if a business combination candidate is presented to us and we determine that such candidate offers an attractive acquisition opportunity for our company. Although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in any particular business combination candidate, we cannot assure you that we will adequately ascertain or assess all the significant risk factors. We also cannot assure you that an investment in our units will not ultimately prove to be less favorable to investors in our Initial Public Offering than a direct investment, if an opportunity were available, in a business combination candidate. In the event we elect to pursue an acquisition outside of the areas of our management’s expertise, our management’s expertise may not be directly applicable to its evaluation or operation, and the information contained in our Registration Statement regarding the areas of our management’s expertise would not be relevant to an understanding of the business that we elect to acquire. As a result, our management may not be able to adequately ascertain or assess all the significant risk factors. Accordingly, any shareholders who choose to remain shareholders following our business combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares. Such shareholders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value.

Although we have identified general criteria and guidelines for evaluating prospective target businesses, it is possible that a target business with which we enter into our initial business combination will not have all of these positive attributes. If we complete our initial business combination with a target that does not meet some or all of these criteria and guidelines, such combination may not be as successful as a combination with a business that does meet all of our general criteria and guidelines. In addition, if we announce a prospective business combination with a target that does not meet our general criteria and guidelines, a greater number of shareholders may exercise their redemption rights, which may make it difficult for us to meet any closing condition with a target business that requires us to have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash. In addition, if shareholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or we decide to obtain shareholder approval for business or other legal reasons, it may be more difficult for us to attain shareholder approval of our initial business combination if the target business does not meet our general criteria and guidelines. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our public shareholders may receive only approximately $10.20 per share, or less in certain circumstances, on the liquidation of our trust account and our Rights will expire worthless. In certain circumstances, our public shareholders may receive less than $10.20 per share on the redemption of their shares. See “— If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $10.20 per share” and other risk factors in this section.

We may seek acquisition opportunities with an early-stage company, a financially unstable business or an entity lacking an established record of revenue or earnings, which could subject us to volatile revenues or earnings or difficulty in retaining key personnel.

Previous report

To the extent we complete our initial business combination with an early-stage company such as a pre-revenue entity with a limited operating history, a financially unstable business, or an entity lacking an established record of revenues or earnings, we may be affected by numerous risks inherent in the operations of the business with which we combine. These risks include investing in a business without a proven business model and with limited historical financial data, a lack of revenues or earnings and difficulties in obtaining and retaining key personnel. Although our officers and directors will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business, we may not be able to properly ascertain or assess all the significant risk factors and we may not have adequate time to complete due diligence. Furthermore, some of these risks may be outside of our control and leave us with no ability to control or reduce the chances that those risks will adversely impact a target business.

Resources could be wasted in researching acquisitions that are not completed, which could materially adversely affect subsequent attempts to locate and acquire or merge with another business. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our public shareholders may receive only approximately $10.20 per share, or less than such amount in certain circumstances, on the liquidation of our trust account and our Rights will expire worthless.

Previous report

We anticipate that the investigation of each specific target business and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents and other instruments will require substantial management time and attention and substantial costs for accountants, attorneys, and others. If we decide not to complete a specific initial business combination, the costs incurred up to that point for the proposed transaction likely would not be recoverable. Furthermore, if we reach an agreement relating to a specific target business, we may fail to complete our initial business combination for any number of reasons including those beyond our control. Any such event will result in a loss to us of the related costs incurred which could materially adversely affect subsequent attempts to locate and acquire or merge with another business. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our public shareholders may receive only approximately $10.20 per share on the liquidation of our trust account and our Rights will expire worthless. In certain circumstances, our public shareholders may receive less than $10.20 per share on the redemption of their shares.
