NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2023

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Organization and General

LAMF Global Ventures Corp. I (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on July 20, 2021. The Company

was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a business combination (the “Business Combination”). The Company is an “emerging growth company”, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). The Company’s efforts to identify a prospective target business will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic location.

The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity for the period from July 20, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering (“IPO”), and subsequent to the IPO, the search for a prospective target business. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates

non-operating

income in the form of interest income on cash from the proceeds derived from the IPO.

Financing

The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on November 10, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). On November 16, 2021, the Company consummated the sale of 25,300,000 units, which included the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option (the “Units” and, with respect to the ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), in the amount of 3,300,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $253,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 1,106,000 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement to LAMF SPAC Holdings I LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $11,060,000.

Transaction costs amounted to $15,651,363, including $4,000,000 of underwriting fees, $9,915,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $1,736,363 of other offering costs.

Trust Account

Following the closing of the IPO on November 16, 2021, $258,060,000 ($10.20 per

Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”). As of December 31, 2022, the funds held in the Trust Account were held in cash and United States Treasury securities. As of June 30, 2023, the funds held in the Trust Account were held in Black Rock Liquidity Funds Treasury Trust Fund.

Initial Business Combination

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination.

The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of

at least 80% of

the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires

% or

more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

The Company will provide the holders (the “Public Shareholders”) of the outstanding Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per

share (“Class A ordinary shares”), included in the Units sold in the IPO (the “Public Shares”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a proposed Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to

be $10.20 per

Public Share, plus any pro rata interest then in the Trust Account, net of taxes payable). There will be no redemption rights with respect to the Warrants.

Table of Contents

All of the Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Articles”). In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)

480-10-S99,

redemption provisions not solely within the control of a company require Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Given that the Public Shares were issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., the Public Warrants (as defined in Note 3)), the initial carrying value of Class A ordinary shares classified as temporary equity will be the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC

470-20.

The

Class A ordinary shares are subject to ASC

480-10-S99.

If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either (i) accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or (ii) recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company has elected to recognize the changes immediately. While redemptions cannot cause the Company’s net tangible assets to fall below $5,000,001, the Public Shares are redeemable and are classified as such on the balance sheet until such date that a redemption event takes place.

If the Company seeks shareholder approval of the Business Combination, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination, or such other vote as required by law or stock exchange rule. If a shareholder vote is not required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to the Articles, conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the transaction is required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or other reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased by them during or after the IPO in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares without voting, and if they do vote irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Articles provide 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Class A ordinary shares sold in the IPO, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors (the “Initial Shareholders”) have agreed not to propose an amendment to the Articles (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to

redeem 100% of

the Public Shares if it does not complete a Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the IPO or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or

pre-initial

Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Class A ordinary shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

If the Company is unable to complete a

Business Combination

by November 16, 2023 (the “Combination Period”) (as may be further extended in accordance with the Extension (as defined below)) the Company 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 (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish the Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The Initial Shareholders have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Initial Shareholders should acquire Public Shares in or after the IPO, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commissions (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be

only $10.20 per share held in the Trust Account.

Table of Contents

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.20 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.20 per public share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of this offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A ordinary shares are classified as shareholder’s equity. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events.

On December 30, 2021, the Company announced that holders of the Units sold in the Company’s IPO may elect to separately trade the Class A ordinary shares and Public Warrants included in the Units commencing on or about December 30, 2021. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and

one-half

of one redeemable Warrant to purchase one Class A ordinary share. Any Units not separated will continue to trade on the Nasdaq under the symbol “LGVCU,” and the Class A ordinary shares and Public Warrants will separately trade on Nasdaq under the symbols “LGVC” and “LGVCW,” respectively. No fractional Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Warrants will trade. Holders of Units will need to have their brokers contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, in order to separate the Units into Class A ordinary shares and Warrants.

On May 5 and May 8, 2023, the Company and the Sponsor entered into

non-redemption

agreements (the

“Non-Redemption

Agreements”) with unaffiliated third-party investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Investors have, in connection with the Extension, agreed not to redeem, or to reverse and revoke any prior redemption election with respect to an aggregate of 2,888,000 Public shares (the

“Non-Redeemed

Shares”). Pursuant to the

Non-Redemption

Agreements, the Sponsor has agreed to transfer to the Investors (i) for the Initial Extension (as defined below), a number of Founder Shares equal to 21% of the number of

Non-Redeemed

Shares, or 606,480 Founder Shares, and (ii) for each Additional Monthly Extension (as defined below), a number of Founder Shares equal to 3.5% of the number of

Non-Redeemed

Shares, or 101,080 Founder Shares for each Additional Monthly Extension, or up to an aggregate of 1,212,960 Founder Shares if all Additional Monthly Extensions are implemented.

increments up to six additional times (each, an “Additional Monthly Extension”) up to May 16, 2024 (the Initial Extension and the option to extend for Additional Monthly Extensions are collectively referred to as the “Extension”). The Company’s shareholders also approved a proposal (the “Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal”) to amend the Articles to eliminate (i) the limitation that the Company may not redeem Public Shares in an amount that would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than

$5,000,001 and (ii)

the limitation that the Company shall not consummate a Business Combination unless the Company has net tangible assets of at least

$5,000,001 immediately

prior to, or upon consummation of, or any greater net tangible asset or cash requirement that may be contained in the agreement relating to, such Business Combination. The Company’s shareholders also approved a proposal (the “Founder Share Amendment Proposal”) to provide for the right of a holder of the Founder Shares to convert such shares into Class A ordinary shares on a

one-for-one

basis at any time and from time to time prior to the closing of a Business Combination at the election of the holder. In connection with the vote to approve the Extension, the holders

of 22,347,384 Public

Shares properly exercised their right to redeem their Public Shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately

$10.52 per

share, for an aggregate redemption amount of

$235,015,086. After

the satisfaction of such redemptions, the balance in the Company’s Trust Account is

$31,232,249.

Following the approval of the proposals at the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of the Company, the holders of the Founder Shares elected to convert all of the 8,433,333 Founder Shares into Class A ordinary shares. As a result of the redemptions described above and the conversion of the Founder Shares, there are an aggregate of 12,491,949 Class A ordinary shares outstanding, comprised of 2,952,616 Class A ordinary shares held by Public Shareholders, 1,106,000 Class A ordinary shares initially sold as part of the Private Placement Units issued to the Sponsor in connection with the IPO, and 8,433,333 Class A ordinary shares that were converted from the Founder Shares.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had cash outside the Trust Account of $39,138 and working capital deficit of $3,109,297. All

remaining cash held in the Trust Account is generally unavailable for the Company’s use, prior to an initial Business Combination, and is restricted for use either in a Business Combination or to redeem ordinary shares. As of June 30, 2023, none of the amounts in the Trust Account were available to be withdrawn as described above.

Until the consummation of the IPO, the Company’s only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of Founder Shares by the Sponsor and a promissory note from the Sponsor. On November 16, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 25,300,000 Units, which included the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 3,300,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $253,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 1,106,000 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $11,060,000.

The Company anticipates that the $39,138 outside

of the Trust Account as of June 30, 2023, along with a potential loan(s) from the Sponsor, will not be sufficient to allow the Company to operate until November 16, 2023 (as may be further extended in accordance with the Extension), assuming that a Business Combination is not consummated during that time. The Company’s liquidity requirement, the date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Until the consummation of its Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account, and any additional Working Capital Loans from the Initial Shareholders, the Company’s officers and directors, or their respective affiliates, for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

205-40,

“Going Concern,” as of June 30, 2023, management has determined the liquidity condition and date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent redemption of shares raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the date of the issuance of these condensed financial statements. The Company intends to complete its initial Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by November 16, 2023 (as may be further extended in accordance with the Extension). These unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as going concern.

NOTE 2—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form

10-Q

and Article 8 of Regulation

S-X

of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods

presented.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023.

The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or for any future interim periods.

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Table of Contents

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to

non-emerging

growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgement. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulation its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022.

Cash and Investments Held in Trust Account

As of June 30, 2023, the balance held in the Trust Account of $31,232,249 was held in United States Treasury securities. As of December 31, 2022, the balance held in the Trust Account of which $1,584 was held in cash and $261,998,590 was held in U.S. Treasury Bills. The Company classifies its United States Treasury securities, if any, as trading in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 320, “Investments-Debt and Equity Securities.” Trading securities are presented on the condensed balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities are included in interest and dividend income in the accompanying condensed statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the condensed balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000, and investments held in Trust Account. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Non-redemption Agreement

On May 5 and May 8, 2023, the Sponsor entered into Non-Redemption Agreements with various shareholders of the Company pursuant to which these shareholders have committed not to redeem their shares in connection with the Special Meeting held on May 12, 2023, but still retained their right to redeem in connection with the closing of the Business Combination. The commitment to not redeem was accepted by holders of 2,888,000

shares of Class A ordinary shares. In consideration of this agreement, the Sponsor agreed to transfer a portion of its Class B ordinary shares to the Non-Redeeming Shareholders.

The Company accounts for non-redemption agreements under the applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). Management’s assessment considers whether the arrangements are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the arrangements meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of non-redemption agreement issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date for which the number of shares due to be transferred under the agreement are possible but remain undetermined. As of June 30, 2023, the Non-Redemption liability consists of 606,480 shares with an estimated fair value of $304,453.

Changes in the estimated fair value of the non-redemption agreements are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the unaudited condensed statements of operations. The fair value of the non-redemption agreements was estimated using inputs such as the price of the underlying stick, the market interest rate, the likelihood of completion of a transaction and the time remaining to a possible transaction.

Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

All of the 25,300,000 Public

Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for their redemption in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. In accordance with the SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC

480-10-S99,

redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Therefore, all Public Shares have been classified outside of permanent equity.

In accordance with the ASC

480-10-S99-3A,

“Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities”, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require the security to be classified outside of permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity’s equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of ASC 480. The Company classified all of the Class A ordinary shares as redeemable. Immediately upon the closing of the IPO, the Company recognized a onetime charge against additional

paid-in

capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit for the difference between the initial carrying value of the Class A ordinary shares and the redemption value.

The Class A ordinary shares reflected on the condensed balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Net Income (Loss) per Ordinary Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted; average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of C

Offering Costs associated with the Initial Public Offering

Deferred offering costs consist of professional fees incurred through the unaudited condensed balance sheet date that are directly related to the IPO. Offering costs amounting to $15,651,363 were charged to temporary shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the IPO.

Income Taxes

ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the unaudited condensed financial statements recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was

zero

for the periods presented. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company’s management does not believe that any recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force) and the SEC if currently adopted, would have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements.

NOTE 3—INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Pursuant to the IPO, the Company sold 25,300,000 Units (including 3,300,000 Units as part of the underwriters’ full exercise of the over-allotment option) at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and

one-half

of one redeemable warrant (each whole warrant, a “Public Warrant” and, together with the Private Placement Warrants (as defined in Note 4), the “Warrants”). Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7). The Warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the initial

Business Combination

, which may be within

one year

of the IPO, and will expire

five years

after the completion of the initial

Business Combination

or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

NOTE 4—PRIVATE PLACEMENT

On November 16, 2021, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO and the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option, the Company consummated the issuance and sale of 1,106,000 Private Placement Units in a private placement transaction at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds of $11,060,000 (the “Private Placement”). Each whole Private Placement Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share (each, a “Private Placement Share”) and

one-half

of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Private Placement Warrant”). Each whole Private Placement Warrant will be exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement Units was added to the proceeds from the IPO held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a

Business Combination

within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Private Placement Units and all underlying securities will be worthless.

NOTE 5—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On September 3, 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.003 per share, to cover formation costs in exchange for an aggregate of 7,666,667 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Founder Shares”). On November 10, 2021, the Company effected a share capitalization pursuant to which an additional 766,666 Founder Shares were issued to the Sponsor. All shares and associated amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the share capitalization, resulting in an aggregate of 8,433,333 Founder Shares outstanding as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. As described in Note

, in connection with the Extension, all 8,433,333 Class B ordinary shares were converted into 8,433,333 Class A ordinary shares on May 11, 2023, resulting in

Class B ordinary shares outstanding.

The Initial Shareholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earliest to occur of (i) (x) with respect to

one-third

of such shares, until consummation of the initial

Business Combination

, (y) with respect to

one-third

of such shares, until the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares exceeds $12.00 for any 20 trading days within a

30-trading

day period following the consummation of the initial

Business Combination

and (z) with respect to

one-third

of such shares, until the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares exceeds $15.00 for any 20 trading days within a

30-trading

day period following the consummation of the initial

Business Combination

; (ii)

two years

after the consummation of the initial Business Combination; and (iii) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital share exchange or other similar transaction after the initial Business Combination that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property; except to certain permitted transferees and under certain circumstances. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the Initial Shareholders with respect to any Founder Shares.

Related Party Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes the initial Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to

$1,200,000

of the Working Capital Loans may be convertible into units of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of

$10.00

per unit at the option of the lender. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022

, no such Working Capital Loans were outstanding.

Due to Affiliate

Affiliates of the Company advanced $88,196 for the cost of certain regulatory fees incurred by the Company. Management will reimburse this amount to the affiliate. At

both

June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, balance due to affiliate totaled $88,196

Sponsor of the Company advanced $108,333 for the cost of certain regulatory fees incurred by the Company. Management will reimburse this amount to the affiliate. At June 30, 2023, balance due to Sponsor totaled $108,333.

Administrative Services Agreement

On November 10, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to pay the Sponsor (and/or its affiliates or designees) an aggregate of $20,000 per month for office space and, secretarial and administrative services. For both six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred $120,000 of administrative services under the arrangement.

As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, amount

due to Sponsor

were

$40,000 and $0

and recorded

in accrued expenses in the condensed balance sheets, respectively. Upon the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination or its liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees.

NOTE 6—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Risks and Uncertainties

Management is continuing to evaluate the impact of the

COVID-19

pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations, close of the IPO and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed financial statements. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

In February 2022, Russia commenced a military action against the country of Ukraine. As a result of this action, various nations, including the United States, have instituted economic sanctions against Russia. The invasion of Ukraine may result in market volatility that could adversely affect the Company’s stock price and the Company’s search for a target company. Further, the impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy is not determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements and the specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements.

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Units, Private Placement Shares, Private Placement Warrants, the Class A ordinary shares underlying the Private Placement Warrants and Private Placement Units that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans will have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of the Company’s securities held by them pursuant to the registration rights agreement signed on the effective date of the IPO. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short-form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggyback” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial

Business Combination

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriters of the IPO a

45-day

option from the date of the IPO to purchase up to an additional 3,300,000 Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the IPO price less underwriting discounts. On November 16, 2021, the underwriters elected to fully exercise the over- allotment option and purchased 3,300,000 units.

The underwriters of the IPO received a cash underwriting discount of two percent (2%) of the gross proceeds of 20,000,000 of the Units sold in the IPO, or $4,000,000. The underwriters are entitled to deferred underwriting discounts of 2% of the gross proceeds of 2,000,000 Units, 3.5% of the gross proceeds of 22,000,000 Units, and 5.5% of the gross proceeds of all Units sold in the IPO ($9,915,000 in the aggregate) held in the Trust Account upon the completion of the initial

Business Combination

, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Table of Contents

Advisors’ Agreement

In connection with the IPO, the Company engaged Cohen & Company Capital Markets, a division of J.V.B. Financial Group, LLC (“CCM”), an affiliate of a passive member of the Sponsor, to provide consulting and advisory services in connection with the IPO, for which it received an advisory fee equal to 0.6% of the aggregate proceeds of the IPO. Affiliates of CCM have and manage investment vehicles with a passive investment in the Sponsor. Of such amount, $1,200,000 was paid at the closing of the IPO with the remainder deferred until the consummation of the Company’s initial

Business Combination

. Such amount was included as part of the offering costs for the IPO. The underwriters of the IPO agreed to reimburse the Company for this cost; a total of $1,175,000 was received from the underwriters at the time of closing of the IPO, and an additional $25,000 was paid by the underwriters to cover legal fees that were part of the offering costs. An additional fee of 1.05% of the IPO proceeds is to be paid to CCM to serve as an advisor in connection with the Company’s initial

Business Combination

upon consummation of the Company’s initial

Business Combination

. All fees under this agreement are subject to reimbursement to the Company from the underwriters. Accordingly, a reimbursement receivable and deferred advisory fee payable of $2,974,500 has been reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheets.

NOTE 7 — SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

Preference Shares

– The

Company is authorized to issue a total of 1,000,000 preference shares at par value of $0.0001 each. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.

Class

A Ordinary Shares

– The

Company is authorized to issue a total of 500,000,000 Class A ordinary shares at par value of $0.0001 each. At June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, there were 9,539,333 and 1,106,000 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding

Class

B Ordinary Shares

–

The

Company is authorized to issue a total of 50,000,000 Class B ordinary shares at par value of $0.0001 each. As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, there were 0 and 8,433,333 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding

, respectively

. Due to the full exercise of the over- allotment by the underwriters on November 16, 2021, no shares are subject to forfeiture (see Note

). In connection with the Extension, all 8,433,333 Class B ordinary shares were converted into 8,433,333 Class A ordinary shares on May 11, 2023, resulting in no Class B ordinary shares outstanding.

Prior to their conversion into Class A ordinary shares, the Class B ordinary shares would have automatically converted into Class A ordinary shares concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of the initial Business Combination on

a one-for-one basis,

subject to adjustment for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination, the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B ordinary shares would have equaled, in the aggregate

, 25% of

the total number of Class A ordinary shares outstanding after such conversion (after giving effect to any redemptions of Class A ordinary shares by Public Shareholders and not including the Private Placement Shares), including the total number of Class A ordinary shares issued, or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, excluding any Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities or rights exercisable for or convertible into Class A ordinary shares issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any Private Placement Units issued to the Sponsor, officers or directors upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, provided that such conversion of Class B ordinary shares would never have occurred on a less than

one-for-one

basis. Following the conversion of the Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares on May 11, 2023 as described in Note 1 and above, the Founder Shares no longer have such anti-dilution protection.

Prior to the closing of the initial Business Combination, only holders of Founder Shares will have the right to vote on continuing the Company in a jurisdiction outside of the Cayman Islands (including any special resolution required to amend the constitutional documents of the Company or to adopt new constitutional documents of the Company, in each case, as a result of the Company approving a transfer by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands). With respect to any other matter submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders prior to or in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination, including any vote in connection with the initial Business Combination, except as required by law, holders of the Founder Shares and holders of the Public Shares will vote together as a single class, with each share entitling the holder to one vote.

Warrants

Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment.

If (x) the Company issues additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than

$9.20 per

Class A ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Initial Shareholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares or Private Placement Shares held by the Initial Shareholders or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”) (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than

% of

the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Class A ordinary shares during

the

20-trading

day-period

starting on the trading day after the day on which the Company consummates the initial

usiness

ombination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $

9.20

per share, the exercise price of the Warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to

115

% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $

18.00

per share redemption trigger price described below will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to

180

% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

Table of Contents

The Warrants cannot be exercised until 30 days

after the completion of the initial Business Combination, and will expire

at 5:00 p.m., New York City time,

five years

after the

completion of the initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Class A ordinary shares underlying the Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current. No Warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue a Class A ordinary share upon exercise of a Warrant unless the Class A ordinary share issuable upon such Warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the Warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a Warrant, the holder of such Warrant will not be entitled to exercise such Warrant and such Warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any Warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised Warrants, the purchaser of a Unit containing such Warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the Unit solely for the Class A ordinary share underlying such Unit.

Once the Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Warrants for cash:

•

in whole and not in part;

•

at a price of $

0.01

per Warrant;

•

upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the

“

-day

redemption period”); and

if, and only if, the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like and for certain issuances of Class A ordinary shares and equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial

Business Combination

) for any 20 trading days within a

30-trading

day-period

ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders.

If the Company calls the Warrants for redemption as described above, the management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.” In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their Warrants on a “cashless basis,” the management will consider, among other factors, the Company’s cash position, the number of Warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on the shareholders of issuing the maximum number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants. In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the Warrants for that number of Class A ordinary shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class A ordinary shares underlying the Warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” of the Class A ordinary shares over the exercise price of the Warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” will mean the average reported closing price of the Class A ordinary shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of Warrants.

The Private Placement Warrants, as well as any Warrants underlying additional units the Company may issue upon the conversion of Working Capital Loans, are identical to the Public Warrants.

NOTE 8 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

Level 1:

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2:

Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3:

Unobservable inputs based on an assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Transfers between fair value levels are recorded at the end of each reporting period.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:


Description	Level		June 30, 2023		Level		December 31, 2022
Investments held in Trust Account – United States Treasury securities				—		1	$	261,998,590
Investments held in Trust Account – Treasury Trust Fund		1	$	31,232,249				—
Non-redemption agreement derivative liability		3	$	304,453				—

Non-redemption Agreements

The non-redemption agreements are classified as Level 3. The key inputs into the discounted cash flow method for the Non-redemption Agreements were as follows at June 30, 2023:


Input	June 30, 2023
Expected term (years)		.80
Probability of completion of a business combination		5	%
Discount rate		8.25	%
Fair value of the ordinary share price	$	10.48

The following table presents the changes in the fair value of the derivative Non-redemption liabilities:


Fair value as of January 1, 2023	$	—
Issuance of Non-redemption Agreements		587,145
Reclassification of Non-redemption Agreements to additional paid in capital		(293,572	)
Change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities		10,880

Fair value as of June 30, 2023	$	304,453

June 30, 2023, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $31,232,249 in the Blackrock Liquidity Funds Treasury Trust Fund and at December 31, 2022, the Trust Account comprised of $261,998,590 in United States Treasury securities and $1,584 in cash. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company did not withdraw any interest income from the Trust Account. In May 2023, $235,015,086 was withdrawn from the account to redeem Class A ordinary shares.

NOTE 9—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On August 17, 2023, the Company entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company will engage in a business combination transaction with Nuvo Group Ltd., a limited liability company organized under the State of Israel (“Nuvo”) (the “Nuvo Transaction”). The public company ultimately resulting from the completion of the Nuvo Transaction will be Holdco Nuvo Group D.G. Ltd., a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (“Holdco”). The parties to the Business Combination Agreement are the Company, Nuvo, Holdco, Nuvo Assetco Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco, and H.F.N.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on July 20, 2021 for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination. We intend to effectuate an initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the IPO and the Private Placement, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations (other than searching for a Business Combination after the IPO) nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from inception through June 30, 2023 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the IPO, described below. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We expect to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held after the IPO. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we had a net loss of $935,686, which consisted of interest income of $1,306,059, dividend income of $115,463, offset by general and administrative costs of $2,346,328 and change in the fair value of the derivative of $10,088.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net loss of $211,321, which consisted of interest income of $4, dividend income of $77,172 and gains on investments held of $56,316, offset by general and administrative costs of $344,813.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we had a net income of $1,257,521, which consisted of interest and dividend income of $4,247,161, offset by general and administrative costs of $2,978,760 and change in the fair value of the derivative of $10,880.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net loss of $632,858, which consisted of interest income of $24 dividend income of $77,172 and gains on investments held of $150,774, offset by general and administrative costs of $860,828.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2023, we had cash of $39,138 and working capital deficit of $3,109,297.

On November 16, 2021, we consummated the IPO of 25,300,000 Units, which included the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 3,300,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $253,000,000.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we consummated the sale of 1,106,000 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $11,060,000.

Following the IPO, the full exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Private Placement Units, a total of $258,060,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $15,651,363 in transaction costs, including $4,000,000 of underwriting fees, $9,915,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $1,736,363 of other offering costs.

Following the IPO, the proceeds of $258,060,000 ($10.20 per Unit) from the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units were held in the Trust Account, which included the deferred underwriting commissions of $9,915,000, that were held in the Trust Account and were invested or had bore interest since February 3, 2022. Previously, the proceeds were held in cash. The proceeds are only invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. $503,106 are not held in the Trust Account.

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account to complete our Business Combination. We may withdraw interest to pay taxes. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. In the event that a 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. Up to $1,200,000 of such loans may be convertible into units of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit, at the option of the lender. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Units.

We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to an initial Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete an initial Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of the Public Shares upon consummation of an 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 an 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 Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

On May 5 and May 8, 2023, the Company and the Sponsor entered into Non-Redemption Agreements with the Investors, pursuant to which the Investors have, in connection with the Extension, agreed not to redeem, or to reverse and revoke any prior redemption election with respect to an aggregate of 2,888,000 Public shares. Pursuant to the Non-Redemption Agreements, the Sponsor has agreed to transfer to the Investors (i) for the Initial Extension, a number of Founder Shares equal to 21% of the number of Non-Redeemed Shares, or 606,480 Founder Shares, and (ii) for each Additional Monthly Extension, a number of Founder Shares equal to 3.5% of the number of Non-Redeemed Shares, or 101,080 Founder Shares for each Additional Monthly Extension, or up to an aggregate of 1,212,960 Founder Shares if all Additional Monthly Extensions are implemented.

On May 11, 2023, at an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of the Company, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the Articles to provide the Company with the right to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination to November 16, 2023 and to allow the Company, without another shareholder vote, by resolution of the Company’s board of directors, to elect to further extend the Extended Date in one-month increments up to six additional times up to May 16, 2024. The Company’s shareholders also approved a proposal to amend the Articles to eliminate (i) the limitation that the Company may not redeem Public Shares in an amount that would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 and (ii) the limitation that the Company shall not consummate a Business Combination unless the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 immediately prior to, or upon consummation of, or any greater net tangible asset or cash requirement that may be contained in the agreement relating to, such Business Combination. The Company’s shareholders also approved a proposal to provide for the right of a holder of the Founder Shares to convert such shares into Class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis at any time and from time to time prior to the closing of a Business Combination at the election of the holder. In connection with the vote to approve the Extension, the holders of 22,347,384 Public Shares properly exercised their right to redeem their Public Shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.52 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $235 million. After the satisfaction of such redemptions, the balance in the Company’s Trust Account is approximately $31 million.

The Company’s operations following the closing of the Initial Public Offering have been funded by the portion of the proceeds from the sale of Private Placement Warrants not held in the Trust Account. The Company may raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from the Sponsor or the Sponsor’s members. The Sponsor is not obligated to loan the Company additional funds or make additional investments, but may do so from time to time to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Management has determined that if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination during the Combination Period (as defined in Note 1), then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC 205-40, “Going Concern,” as of June 30, 2023, management has determined the liquidity condition, the date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent redemption of shares raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the date of the issuance of these condensed financial statements. The Company intends to complete its initial Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate any Business Combination by November 16, 2023 (as may be further extended in accordance with the Extension). These unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay the Sponsor (and/or its affiliates or designees) an aggregate of $20,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services. We began incurring these fees on November 16, 2021 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and our liquidation.

The underwriters are entitled to deferred underwriting discounts of 2% of the gross proceeds of 2,000,000 Units, 3.5% of the gross proceeds of 22,000,000 Units, and 5.5% of the gross proceeds of all Units sold in the IPO ($9,915,000 in the aggregate) held in the Trust Account upon the completion of the initial Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement relating to the IPO.

In connection with the IPO, the Company engaged CCM, an affiliate of a passive member of the Sponsor, to provide consulting and advisory services in connection with the IPO, for which it received an advisory fee equal to 0.6% of the aggregate proceeds of the IPO. Affiliates of CCM have and manage investment vehicles with a passive investment in the Sponsor. Of such amount, $1,200,000 was paid at the closing of the IPO with the remainder deferred until the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination. Such amount was included in as part of the offering costs for the IPO. The underwriters of the IPO agreed to reimburse the Company for this cost; a total of $1,175,000 was received from the underwriters at the time of closing of the IPO, and an additional $25,000 was paid by the underwriters to cover legal fees that were part of the offering costs. An additional fee of 1.05% of the IPO proceeds is to be paid to CCM to serve as an advisor in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination upon consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination. All fees under this agreement are subject to reimbursement to the Company from the underwriters. Accordingly, a reimbursement receivable and deferred advisory fees payable of $2,794,500 have been reflected in the accompanying condensed balance sheets.

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Units, Private Placement Shares and Private Placement Warrants and the Class A ordinary shares underlying the Private Placement Warrants and Private Placement Units that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans will have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of the Company’s securities held by them pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on the effective date of the IPO. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short-form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial Business Combination.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have not identified any critical accounting policies.

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our condensed financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As of June 30, 2023, we were not subject to any market or interest rate risk. Following the consummation of the IPO, the net proceeds of the IPO was not invested or bore interest. After January 1, 2022, proceeds held in the Trust Account were invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in certain money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there is no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the quarter ended June 30, 2023, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer have concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level and, accordingly, provided reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

None.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report are any of the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K”) and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 (the “2023 01 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q). Any of those factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations.

In addition to the risks and uncertainties discussed in this Quarterly Report, including those disclosed in Part I, Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, you should carefully consider the risks under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2023 Q1 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These risks are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

On November 16, 2021, we consummated the IPO of 25,300,000 Units, inclusive of 3,300,000 Units sold to the underwriters upon the underwriters’ election to fully exercise their over-allotment option, at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $253,000,000. Wells Fargo Securities acted as sole book-running manager of the IPO. The securities in the IPO were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (File Nos. 333-259998 and 333-260987). The SEC declared the registration statement effective on November 10, 2021.

Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO and the full exercise of the over-allotment option, we consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 1,106,000 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total proceed of $11,060,000. The issuance was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

The Private Placement Units are identical to the Units sold in the IPO except that the Private Placement Warrants are not transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions.

Of the gross proceeds received from the IPO including the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Private Placement Units, $258,060,000 was placed in the Trust Account.

We paid a total of $4,000,000 in underwriting discounts and $2,195,098 for other offering costs related to the IPO. In addition, the underwriters agreed to defer $9,915,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions until the consummation of the initial Business Combination.
