Previous report

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the SPA, the Seller will, in exchange for the consideration set forth in the SPA, sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver, all rights, title and interest in and to the shares of the Target Company (the “Company Shares”), free and clear of all liens, excepting only restrictions on the subsequent transfer of the Company Shares by us imposed under applicable laws, our organizational documents, and the shareholders’ agreement entered into in connection with the SPA. Such purchases will be made in four separate tranches as described in the SPA, with the final purchase to be made on or prior to 18 months from the initial closing. The aggregate purchase price for the Company Shares under the SPA is $102,000,000, and in addition, we also agreed to make a primary investment into the Target Company in the amount of $38,000,000.

Previous report

The SPA contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties thereto. The consummation of the proposed Stock Acquisition is subject to certain conditions as further described in the SPA.

Previous report

As of September 30, 2023, we had $7,060 in our operating bank account available for working capital needs. All remaining cash was held in the trust account and is generally unavailable for our use prior to an initial business combination.

Previous report

If a Business Combination is not consummated by August 2, 2024 (the amended business combination period), there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the mandatory liquidation, if a Business Combination does not occur, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after August 2, 2024.

Previous report

Management has determined that if the Company is unable to raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity needs as well as complete a Business Combination by August 2, 2024 (the amended business combination period), then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The liquidity condition and date for mandatory liquidation raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after August 2, 2023. Management plans to continue to draw down the funds on its promissory notes, repayable only if there is a Business Combination. The Company intends to complete a Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date.

Previous report

We believe that the balance in our operating bank account as of September 30, 2023; available promissory note, off balance sheet loan arrangement and commitment from sponsor to provide further loan as and when required, will be insufficient to allow us to operate for at least the next 12 months, assuming that a business combination is not consummated during that time. Over this time period, we will be using these funds for target business to consummate our initial business combination with and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination.

Previous report

We expect our primary liquidity requirements during that period to include approximately $193,736 for accounting, audit and other third-party expenses attendant to the structuring and negotiation of a business combination; $84,646 for due diligence, consulting, travel and miscellaneous expenses incurred during search for initial business combination target; $257,027 SEC extension fee; $100,000 for franchise tax payment and approximately $40,000 for working capital that will be used for miscellaneous expenses and reserves.

Previous report

These amounts are estimates and may differ materially from our actual expenses. In addition, we could use a portion of the funds not being placed in trust to pay commitment fees for financing, fees to consultants to assist us with our search for a target business or as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision (a provision 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 an agreement where we paid for the right to receive exclusivity from a target business, the amount that would be used as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision would be determined based on the terms of the specific business combination and the amount of our available funds at the time. Our forfeiture of such funds (whether as a result of our breach or otherwise) could result in our not having sufficient funds to continue searching for, or conducting due diligence with respect to, prospective target businesses.

Previous report

We may need to raise additional funds following the Initial Public Offering in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial business combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon completion of our initial business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our 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. In addition, following our initial business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.
