NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Description of Organization and Business Operations

RCF Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on June 9, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company’s sponsor is RCF VII Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The Company has selected December 31st as its fiscal year end.

All activity for the period from June 9, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (“Public Offering”), and activities related to pursuing merger opportunities. The Company will not generate operating revenues prior to the completion of a Business Combination and will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on Permitted Investments (as defined below) from the proceeds derived from the Public Offering.

The registration statement for the Company’s Public Offering was declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 9, 2021. The Public Offering closed on November 15, 2021 (the “Closing Date”). Simultaneously with the closing of the Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 11,700,000 warrants to purchase Class A ordinary share (“Private Placement Warrants”) for $1.00 each, or $11,700,000 in the aggregate, in a private placement on the Closing Date (the “Private Placement”).

In its Public Offering, the Company sold 23,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each unit consists of one share of Class A ordinary shares and one-half of a redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”). Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A ordinary shares at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 6). The Company intends to finance a Business Combination with the remaining proceeds from its $230,000,000 Public Offering and $11,700,000 Private Placement.

At the Closing Date, proceeds of $241,700,000, net of underwriting discounts of $4,600,000 and $2,500,000 designated for operational use were deposited in a trust account with Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company acting as trustee (the “Trust Account”) as described below. Transaction costs amounted to $13,267,977, consisting of $12,650,000 of underwriters fees of which $8,050,000 was for Deferred Underwriting Commissions (see Note 8) and $617,977 of other offering costs.

The Underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to any Deferred Underwriting Commission held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination and those amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares. The Deferred Underwriting Commission will become payable to the Underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event the Company completes a Business Combination. The Underwriters are not entitled to receive any of the interest earned on Trust Account funds that would be used to pay the Deferred Underwriting Commission. The Deferred Underwriting Commission has been recorded as a deferred liability on the balance sheets.

Of the $241,700,000 total proceeds from the Public Offering and Private Placement, $234,600,000 was deposited into the Trust Account on the Closing Date. The funds in the Trust Account will be 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 (collectively “Permitted Investments”). Funds will remain in the Trust Account except for the withdrawal of interest earned on the funds that may be released to the Company to pay taxes.

On May 9, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”). At the Extraordinary General Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved several proposals to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Charter”) to (i) extend the date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination from May 15, 2023 to May 15, 2024 (the “Extended Date”), (ii) permit the Company’s board of directors, in its sole discretion, to elect to wind up the Company’s operations on an earlier date than the Extended Date as determined by the Board and included in a public announcement, (iii) eliminate from the Charter 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 in connection with the Company’s Business Combination, and (iv) provide for the right of a holder of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share to convert into Class A Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis prior to the closing of Business Combination at the election of the holder.

Additionally, on May 9, 2023, the Company held the Extraordinary General Meeting, in connection with which, shareholders holding an aggregate of 9,985,568 Class A Ordinary Shares exercised their right to redeem their shares for approximately $10.50 per share (the “Redemption”), for an aggregate redemption amount of $104,889,892 of the funds held in the Company’s Trust Account. Following the Redemption, $136,755,526 remained in the Company’s Trust Account.

The Company extended the time for a Business Combination from May 15, 2023 to May 15, 2024. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within this period, it shall (i) cease all operations except for the purposes 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 in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its 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 liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The Initial Shareholders (as defined in Note 4 below) and the Company’s officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 4 below) if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination by May 15, 2024. However, if the Initial Shareholders acquire public shares after the Closing Date, 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 by May 15, 2024.

If the Company fails to complete a Business Combination, the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares will reduce the book value of the shares held by the Sponsor, who will be the only remaining shareholder after such redemptions. If the Company holds a shareholder vote or there is a tender offer for shares in connection with a Business Combination, a Public Shareholder will have the right to redeem its shares for an amount in cash equal to its pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of a Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay taxes. As a result, such shares are recorded at their redemption amount and classified as temporary equity on the balance sheets, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”

The funds held in the Trust Account will not be released until the earliest of (i) the completion of a Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of the public shares if the Company has not completed a Business Combination by May 15, 2024, subject to applicable law, or (iii) the redemption of the public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of the Company obligation to allow redemption in connection with a Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Company’s public shares if the Company has not consummated a Business Combination by May 15, 2024 or (B) with respect to any other provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination with (or acquisition of) a target business. The Company is focused on sponsoring the public listing of a company that combines attractive business fundamentals with, or with the potential for strong environmental, social and governance principles and practices through a Business Combination. As used herein, the target business must be with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (less any Deferred Underwriting Commissions and taxes payable on interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the Company signing a definitive agreement.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $572,451 in its operating bank accounts, $138,349,706 in securities held in the Trust Account to be used for a business combination or to repurchase or redeem its ordinary shares in connection therewith and a working capital deficit of $2,281,348.

Until the consummation of a business combination, the Company will be using the funds held outside of the Trust Account primarily to find and evaluate target businesses, perform business, legal, and accounting 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.

The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. The Company anticipates that the cash held outside of the Trust Account as of June 30, 2023, will not be sufficient to allow the Company to operate until May 15, 2024, the extended date at which the Company must complete a Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by May 15, 2024, then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $3,050,000 in outstanding borrowings under the Sponsor Notes with a fair value of $305,000 (see Note 4). If the Company completes the initial business combination, the Company will repay any loaned amounts. In the event that the Company’s initial business combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay such loaned amounts.

Going Concern

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” while the Company expects to have sufficient access to additional sources of capital under the Sponsor Convertible Note, there is no current obligation on the part of the Sponsor to provide additional capital and no assurances can be provided that such additional capital will ultimately be available if necessary. In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination on or before May 15, 2024 (or such earlier date as determined by the board of Directors and included in a public announcement), then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. Management has determined that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern due to the need to obtain additional capital from Sponsor to address the Company’s liquidity condition, which the Sponsor is not obligated to advance, and the date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after May 15, 2024.

Risks and Uncertainties

In February 2022, the Russian Federation commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. Although the length and impact of the ongoing military conflict is highly unpredictable, the conflict in Ukraine could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions. As a result of this action, various nations, including the United States, have instituted economic sanctions against the Russian Federation. Further, the impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy are not determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 2 - Correction of Immaterial Errors in the Previously Issued Financial Statements

In connection with the preparation of the financial statements, the Company determined that there were immaterial errors related to the calculation of Redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares, which also impacted shareholders’ deficit in the previously issued financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 7, 2023. These immaterial errors were also included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2023, September 30, 2022, and June 30, 2022. Management did not accrete or remeasure the Redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares at redemption value to account for the interest earned on the Trust Account.

In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, “Materiality,” and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements;” the Company evaluated the errors and has determined that the related impacts were immaterial to its previously issued financial statements but is material to the current year financial statements. Therefore, the Company, in consultation with its Audit Committee, concluded that the error has been corrected by adjusting the opening balance sheet of the earliest period presented, December 31, 2022, to adjust the Redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares to its redemption value with the offset to accumulated deficit. Within this filing, the Company also adjusted the financial statements of all prior periods presented to reflect the correct amounts.

The Company is reporting the correction of those comparative periods in this Quarterly Report. The following are the selected line items from the Company’s financial statements for the affected comparative periods presented in this filing with the effect of these corrections:

Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for audited financial statements. The unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period presented. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. Amounts as of December 31, 2022 included in the condensed balance sheet have been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. The unaudited condensed financial statements, included herein, should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto, as well as Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in the Company’s Form 10 K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant estimates reflected in the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements include, but is not limited to, valuation of the warrant liability and sponsor notes.

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 and cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of June 30, 2023.

Investment Held in Trust Account

The Company’s portfolio of investments held in Trust Account is comprised solely of investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government treasury obligations and generally have a readily determinable fair value. Such securities and investments in money market funds are classified as trading securities and presented on the unaudited 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 is included in the interest earned in Trust Account in the unaudited condensed statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.

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 Depository Insurance Coverage limit of $250,000. At June 30, 2023, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature, except for the warrants and redeemable shares, which are carried at fair value and redemption value, respectively, as discussed below.

Fair Value Measurement

ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used to measure investments at fair value. The observability of inputs is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment, characteristics specific to the investment, market conditions and other factors. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

Investments with readily available quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from quoted prices in active markets will typically have a higher degree of input observability and a lesser degree of judgment applied in determining fair value.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are as follows:

●

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments at the measurement date are used.

●

Level 2 - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the investment, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 pricing inputs include quoted prices for similar investments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar investments in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the investment, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

●

Level 3- Pricing inputs are unobservable and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs used in determination of fair value require significant judgment and estimation.

In some cases, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the investment is categorized in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the investment. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the valuation of an investment in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the investment. The categorization of an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and does not necessarily correspond to the perceived risk of that investment. See Note 7 for additional information on assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

Derivative Liabilities

The Company evaluated the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants (collectively, “Warrant Securities”) in accordance with ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” and concluded that the Warrant Securities could not be accounted for as components of equity. As the Warrant Securities meet the definition of a derivative in accordance with ASC 815, the Warrant Securities are recorded as derivative liabilities on the balance sheets and measured at fair value at inception (the Closing Date) and remeasured at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” with changes in fair value recognized in the statements of operations in the period of change.

Redeemable Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

All of the 23,000,000 Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the Units in the Public Offering 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 a Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. In accordance with SEC 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. 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 recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Such changes are reflected in retained earnings, or in the absence of retained earnings, in additional paid-in capital.

At June 30, 2023 the Redeemable Class A ordinary shares reflected in the balance sheets is reconciled in the following table:

Redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption at December 31, 2022	$	237,941,214
Less:
Redemption of Redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares		(104,889,892	)
Plus:
Remeasurement of carrying value to redemption value		5,198,384
Redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption at June 30, 2023	$	138,249,706

Income Taxes

The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement 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. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2023. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company is not currently aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals, or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. There is currently no taxation imposed by the Government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s financial statements. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

There is currently no taxation imposed by the Government of the Cayman Islands. The Company has 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. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s financial statements.

Stock Compensation Expense

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation expense in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date and recognized over the requisite service period. To the extent a stock-based award is subject to a performance condition, the amount of expense recorded in a given period, if any, reflects an assessment of the probability of achieving such performance condition, with compensation recognized once the event is deemed probable to occur. The fair value of equity awards has been estimated using a market approach. Forfeitures are recognized as incurred.

The Company’s Class B ordinary shares transferred to incoming directors and management (see Note 4) were deemed to be within the scope of ASC 718, Stock Compensation, and are subject to a performance condition, namely the occurrence of a Business Combination. Compensation expense related to the Class B ordinary shares is recognized only when the performance condition is probable of occurrence, or more specifically when a Business Combination is consummated. Therefore, no stock-based compensation expense has been recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The unrecognized compensation expense related to the Class B ordinary shares at June 30, 2023 was $2,612,244 and will be recorded when the performance condition occurs.

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 the Company’s financial statements.

Income Per Ordinary Share

The Company’s unaudited condensed statements of operations includes a presentation of income per share for redeemable ordinary shares in a manner similar to the two-class method in calculating net income per ordinary share. Net income per ordinary share, basic and diluted, for Class A redeemable ordinary shares is computed by dividing the pro rata net income between the Class A redeemable ordinary share and the non-redeemable ordinary share by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period, adjusted for the effects of deemed dividend under the assumption that they represent dividends to the holders of Class A redeemable ordinary shares. Net income per non-redeemable ordinary shares, basic and diluted is computed by dividing the pro rata net income between the Class A redeemable ordinary share and the non-redeemable ordinary share by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period.

With respect to the accretion of ordinary shares subject to possible redemption and consistent with ASC 480-10-99-3A, “Distinguishing Liabilities and Equity-Overall-SEC Materials,” the Company treated accretion in the same manner as a dividend, paid to the shareholder in the calculation of the net income (loss) per ordinary share.

The calculation of diluted income per ordinary share does not consider the effect of the warrants and rights issued in connection with the Public Offering since the exercise of the warrants and rights are contingent upon the occurrence of future events. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any dilutive warrants, securities or other contracts that could potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares.

A reconciliation of net income per ordinary share as adjusted for the portion of income that is attributable to ordinary shares subject to redemption is as follows:

Note 4 - Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On June 9, 2021, the Sponsor purchased 5,750,000 shares (the “Founder Shares”) of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 (“Class B ordinary shares”) for an aggregate price of $25,000. The Sponsor subsequently transferred an aggregate of 402,500 Founder Shares to members of the Company’s board of directors, management team, board of advisors and/or their estate planning vehicles for the same per-share consideration that it originally paid for such shares, resulting in the Sponsor holding 5,347,500 Founder Shares.

As of the Closing Date, the Initial Shareholders held 5,750,000 Founder Shares.

The Founder Shares are identical to the Class A ordinary shares sold in the Public Offering except that:

●

the Founder Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below;

●

the Founder Shares are entitled to registration rights;

●

only holders of Class B ordinary shares will have the right to vote in a vote to continue the Company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands (which requires the approval of at least two-thirds of the votes of all ordinary shares);

●

the Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which have agreed to (A) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and public shares in connection with the completion of our initial business combination, (B) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and public shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) that would 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 have not consummated an initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of the Public Offering or (B) with respect to any other provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, (C) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to their founder shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of the Public Offering, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any public shares they hold if we fail to complete our initial business combination within such time period and (D) vote any founder shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after the Public Offering (including in open market and privately-negotiated transactions) in favor of our initial business combination; and

●

the founder shares are automatically convertible into Class A ordinary shares at the time of the consummation of a Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as described in the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

The initial shareholders agree, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of the initial business combination or (B) subsequent to the initial business combination, (x) if the last sale price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial business combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their shares of ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.

On May 9, 2023, pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Charter, as amended, the holders of the Class B Ordinary Shares, totaling 5,750,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, elected to convert 5,749,999 Class B Ordinary Share held by them on a one-for-one basis into non-redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares, with immediate effect (see Note 5).

Private Placement Warrants

On the Closing Date, the Sponsor purchased from the Company 11,700,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, or $11,700,000, in a Private Placement that occurred in conjunction with the completion of the Public Offering. Each Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Private Placement Warrants will not be redeemable by the Company so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants. The Sponsor, or its permitted transferees, will have the option to exercise the Private Placement Warrants on a cashless basis. The Private Placement Warrants are not transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination.

If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the extended date of May 15, 2024, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

Indemnity

The Sponsor has agreed that it will 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 discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduces the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.20 per public share or (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 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 our indemnity of the Underwriters of the 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, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. 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, prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. The Company has not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company and, therefore, the Sponsor may not be able to satisfy those obligations. The Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such eventuality as the Company believes the likelihood of the Sponsor having to indemnify the Trust Account is limited because the Company will endeavor to have all vendors and prospective target businesses as well as other entities execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Sponsor Notes

Sponsor Convertible Note

On April 1, 2022, the Company issued an unsecured convertible promissory note (the “Sponsor Convertible Note”) to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to $5,000,000 from the Sponsor for ongoing expenses reasonably related to the business of the Company and the consummation of a Business Combination. The Sponsor Convertible Note is non-interest bearing and all unpaid principal was initially due and payable in full on the earlier of (i) May 15, 2023 and (ii) the effective date of a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, involving the Company and one or more businesses (such earlier date, the “Maturity Date”). If the Company completes the initial business combination, the Company will repay any loaned amounts. In the event the Company’s initial business combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay such loaned amounts.

Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into Private Placement Warrants of the post-business combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The Sponsor will have the option, at any time on or prior to the Maturity Date, to convert any amounts outstanding under the Sponsor Convertible Note, into warrants to purchase the Company’s Class A ordinary shares at a conversion price of $1.00 per warrant, with each warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to the same adjustments applicable to the private placement warrants sold concurrently with the Company’s Public Offering. The Sponsor Convertible Note is accounted for within the scope of ASC 480 and is measured at fair value upon the issuance and at each reporting period end with changes in fair value recognized in the statements of operations. The fair value of this Note considers the likelihood of an initial business combination closing and the potential value of such transaction against the likelihood of no initial business combination taking place resulting in the redemption of the public shares and the fair value of the loan approximating its liquidation value. The fair value of the embedded conversion feature upon the issuance of the Sponsor Convertible Note is de minimis.

On May 11, 2023, the Company amended and restated the Sponsor Convertible Note to extend the maturity date from the earlier of (i) May 15, 2023 and (ii) the effective date of a Business Combination to the earlier of (i) May 15, 2024 and (ii) a Business Combination.

On January 5, 2023 and May 5, 2023, the Company borrowed $1,250,000 and $850,000, respectively, from the Sponsor Convertible Note. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $2,600,000 in outstanding borrowings under the Sponsor Convertible Note with a fair value of $260,000.

Issuance of Extension Convertible Promissory Note

In connection with the extension of the date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination from May 15, 2023 to May 15, 2024, the Company issued a convertible promissory note (the “Extension Convertible Promissory Note”) to the Sponsor with a principal amount up to $3,600,000. The Extension Convertible Promissory Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the effective date of a Business Combination, or (b) the date of the Company’s liquidation. If the Company does not consummate a Business Combination by the Extended Date, the Extension Convertible Promissory Note will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven. Upon maturity, the outstanding principal of the Extension Convertible Promissory Note may be converted into warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant, at the option of the Sponsor. Such warrants will have terms identical to the warrants issued to the Sponsor in a private placement that closed simultaneously with the IPO.

On May 9, 2023 and June 2, 2023, the Company borrowed $150,000 and $300,000, respectively, from the Extension Convertible Promissory Note. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $450,000 in outstanding borrowings under the Extension Convertible Promissory Note with a fair value of $45,000.

Therefore, the total notes outstanding with the Sponsor was $305,000 for the Extension Convertible Promissory Note and the Sponsor Convertible Note.

Service and Administrative Fees

The Company has agreed, commencing on November 10, 2021, to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support services provided to the Company’s management team. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had incurred $197,000 under this arrangement. Upon completion of a Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees.

Note 5 - Shareholders’ Deficit

Preference shares - The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preference shares with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. As of June 30, 2023, there were no shares of preference shares issued or outstanding.

Class A Ordinary shares - The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of June 30, 2023, there were 13,014,432 shares of Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding, all of which were subject to possible redemption and were classified at their redemption value outside of shareholders’ deficit on the balance sheets and 5,749,999 Non-Redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding and were classified as shareholders’ deficit on the balance sheets.

On May 9, 2023, the Company held the Extraordinary General Meeting, in connection with which, shareholders holding an aggregate of 9,985,568 Class A Ordinary Shares exercised their right to redeem their shares for approximately $10.50 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $104,889,892 of the funds held in the Company’s Trust Account. Following the Redemption, $136,755,526 remained in the Company’s Trust Account.

The Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that in no event will the Company redeem its Class A ordinary shares in an amount that would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. In addition, the proposed initial business combination may impose a minimum cash requirement for (i) cash consideration to be paid to the target or its owners, (ii) cash for working capital or other general corporate purposes or (iii) the retention of cash to satisfy other conditions. In the event the aggregate cash consideration the Company would be required to pay for all Class A 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 the Company, the Company will not complete the business combination or redeem any shares and all Class A ordinary shares submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof.

On May 9, 2023, the Company eliminated from the Charter 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 in connection with the Company’s Business Combination.

Class B Ordinary shares - The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of Class B ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class B ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share.

The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert 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. 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 will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of (i) 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), plus (ii) 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 exercisable for or convertible into Class A ordinary shares issued, deemed issued or to be issued, to any seller in the initial business combination and any Private Placement Warrants issued to the Company Sponsor, officers or directors upon conversion of Working Capital Loans; provided that such conversion of Class B ordinary shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.

On May 9, 2023, pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Charter, as amended by the amendments to the Charter, the holders of the Class B Ordinary Shares, totaling 5,750,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, elected to convert 5,749,999 Class B Ordinary Share held by them on a one-for-one basis into nonredeemable Class A Ordinary Shares, with immediate effect. Following such conversion, as of June 30, 2023, the Company had an aggregate of 5,749,999 Non-Redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, and one Class B Ordinary Share issued and outstanding. The Non-Redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares and the Class B Ordinary share contain the same terms and provisions and performance condition.

Note 6 - Warrant Liability

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had 23,200,000 warrants issued in the Public Offering consisting of 11,500,000 Public Warrants and 11,700,000 Private Placement Warrants, which are accounted for in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant must be recorded as a liability. Accordingly, the Company classified each warrant as a liability at its fair value, with the change in the fair value recognized in the Company’s statements of operations.

The Public Warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination. No warrants will be exercisable for cash unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering the shares of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to such shares of ordinary shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the shares of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is not effective within a specified period following the consummation of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, provided that such exemption is available. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

●

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, and

●

if, and only if, the last reported sale price (the “closing price”) of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant) 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 send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

Except as set forth below, none of the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company so long as they are held by the Company, Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $10.00

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:

●

in whole and not in part;

●

at $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares determined by reference to the table set forth under “Description of Securities - Warrants - Public Shareholders’ Warrants” based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of the Company Class A ordinary shares except as otherwise described in “Description of Securities - Warrants - Public Shareholders’ Warrants”; in the Public Offering prospectus; and

●

if, and only if, the closing price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant as described under the heading “Description of Securities - Warrants - Public Shareholders’ Warrants - Anti-dilution Adjustments” in the Public Offering prospectus) for any 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending three trading days before the Company send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

The “fair market value” of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares for the above purpose shall mean the volume weighted average price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares during the 10 trading days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. The Company will provide the warrant holders with the final fair market value no later than one business day after the 10-trading day period described above ends. In no event will the warrants be exercisable in connection with this redemption feature for more than 0.361 Class A ordinary shares per warrant (subject to adjustment). Any redemption of the warrants for Class A ordinary shares will apply to both the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants.

No fractional Class A ordinary shares will be issued upon redemption. If, upon redemption, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company will round down to the nearest whole number of the number of Class A ordinary shares to be issued to the holder.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, Company management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The Private Warrants will be identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Public Offering, except that the Private Warrants and the shares of ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Warrants will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

The exercise price and number of shares of ordinary shares issuable on exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or the Company’s recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of shares of ordinary shares at a price below their respective exercise prices. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

In addition, if the Company issues additional shares of ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of a Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of ordinary shares (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s 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 held by them prior to such issuance), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of a Business Combination on the date of the consummation of a Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates Business Combination (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 greater of (i) the Market Value or (ii) the price at which the Company issues the additional shares of ordinary shares or equity-linked securities.

Dividend Policy

The Company has not paid any cash dividends on their ordinary shares to date and do not intend to pay cash dividends prior to the completion of our initial business combination. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition subsequent to completion of our initial business combination. The payment of any cash dividends subsequent to the Company’s initial business combination will be within the discretion of the Company’s board of directors at such time.

Note 7 - Fair Value Measurements

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $138,349,706 and $238,041,214, respectively, in money market funds which are invested in U.S Treasury Securities. The fair values of cash, prepaid assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses are estimated to approximate the carrying values as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022 due to the short maturities of such instruments.

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

Transfer to or from Levels 1,2, and 3 are recognized at the end of the reporting period. The estimated fair value of the Public Warrants transferred from a Level 3 measurement to a Level 1 fair value measurement and the estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants transferred from a Level 3 measurement to a Level 2 measurement during the year ended December 31, 2022 when the Public Warrants were separately listed and traded in January 2022. There were no transfers between levels of the hierarchy for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The Company recognized $23,664,000 for the derivative warrant liabilities upon their issuance on November 15, 2021. The Sponsor paid an aggregate of $11,700,000 for Private Placement Warrants with an initial aggregate fair value of $11,934,000. The difference between the purchase price and the initial fair value on the Private Placement closing date is recorded against accumulated deficit.

The fair value of the sponsor notes for which Level 3 inputs were used at June 30, 2023, considers the likelihood of an initial business combination closing and the potential value of such transaction against the likelihood of no initial business combination taking place resulting in the redemption of the public shares and the fair value of the loan approximating its liquidation value.

The change in the fair value of the sponsor notes, measured with Level 3 inputs, for the period from December 31, 2022 through June 30, 2023, is summarized as follows:

Sponsor notes at December 31, 2022	$	100,000
Proceeds from sponsor convertible note		2,100,000
Change in fair value of sponsor convertible note⁽¹⁾		(1,940,000	)
Proceeds from extension convertible promissory note		450,000
Change in fair value of extension convertible promissory note⁽¹⁾		(405,000	)
Sponsor notes at June 30, 2023	$	305,000

⁽¹⁾	Changes in valuation assumptions are recognized in the change in fair value of sponsor notes - related party in the statements of operations.

Note 8 - Commitments and Contingencies

Registration Rights

The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any, will be entitled to registration rights (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion of such shares to shares of Class A ordinary shares) pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed on the effective date of the Public Offering, requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion of such shares to shares of Class A ordinary shares). These holders will be entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until the termination of the applicable lock-up period for the securities to be registered. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The Underwriters purchased 3,000,000 Units to cover over-allotments at the Public Offering price, less the underwriting commissions, bringing the total amount of Units purchased by the Underwriters to 23,000,000 Units.

The Underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of two percent (2%) of the gross proceeds of the Public Offering, or $4,600,000. Additionally, the Underwriters will be entitled to a Deferred Underwriting Commission of 3.5% or $8,050,000 of the gross proceeds of the Public Offering held in the Trust Account upon the completion of the Company’s initial business combination subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated on June 9, 2021 as a Cayman Islands exempted company and incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We have not entered into a definitive agreement with a business combination target with respect to an initial business combination with us. While we may pursue an initial business combination target in any industry, we intend to target assets or businesses of scale across the critical minerals value chain that are poised to benefit over the long-term from the substantial market opportunity created by the global energy transition. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of our Public Offering and the Private Placement of the Private Placement Warrants, the proceeds of the sale of our shares in connection with our initial business combination (pursuant to forward purchase agreements or backstop agreements we may enter into following the Public Offering or otherwise), shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, or a combination of the foregoing.

The issuance of additional shares in connection with a business combination to the owners of the target or other investors:

●

may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors in the Public Offering, which dilution would increase if the anti-dilution provisions in the Class B ordinary shares resulted in the issuance of Class A ordinary shares on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion of the Class B ordinary shares;

●

may subordinate the rights of holders of Class A ordinary shares if preference shares are issued with rights senior to those afforded our Class A ordinary shares;

●

could cause a change in control if a substantial number of our Class A ordinary shares are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors;

●

may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us by diluting the share ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of us; and

●

may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Class A ordinary shares and/or warrants.

Similarly, if we issue debt securities or otherwise incur significant debt to bank or other lenders or the owners of a target, it could result in:

●

default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after an initial business combination are insufficient to repay our debt obligations;

●

acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;

●

our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security is payable on demand;

●

our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt security contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt security is outstanding;

●

our inability to pay dividends on our Class A ordinary shares;

●

using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on our Class A ordinary shares if declared, expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;

●

limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and in the industry in which we operate;

●

increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation; and

●

limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our strategy and other purposes and other disadvantages compared to our competitors who have less debt.

As indicated in the accompanying condensed unaudited financial statements, as of June 30, 2023, we had $572,451 held outside the Trust Account that is available to us to fund our working capital requirements and $138,349,706 held inside the Trust Account. We cannot assure you that our plan to complete our initial business combination will be successful.

Our registration statements for the Public Offering became effective on November 9, 2021. On November 15, 2021, we consummated the Public Offering of 23,000,000 Units, including the issuance of 3,000,000 Units as a result of the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds, before expenses, of $230,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Public Offering, we consummated the Private Placement of 11,700,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant with the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds, before expenses, of $11,700,000.

Upon the closing of the Public Offering and the Private Placement, $234,600,000 was placed in the Trust Account. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses, if any, the funds held in the Trust Account would not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of the Company’s initial business combination, (ii) the redemption of our public shares if we are unable to complete our initial business combination by May 15, 2024, subject to applicable law, (iii) the redemption of the Company’s public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (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 have not consummated our initial business combination by May 15, 2024 or (B) with respect to any other provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity. The proceeds held in the Trust Account will be 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. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of its public shareholders.

If we are unable to complete our initial business combination within the extended date from the closing of the Public Offering, or May 15, 2024, 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 (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 public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law.

Results of Operations

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we had a net income of $2,088,712, and a loss from operations of $3,830,157, which was comprised of general and administrative expenses, and non-operating income of $5,918,869. Non-operating income was comprised of a change in fair value of sponsor notes of $2,345,000 and interest earned in the Trust Account of $4,733,869, offset by a change in fair value of the warrant liability of $1,160,000. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we had a net income of $552,924, and a loss from operations of $2,516,771, which was comprised of general and administrative expenses, and non-operating income of $3,069,695. Non-operating income was comprised of a change in fair value of sponsor notes of $1,345,000 and interest earned in the Trust Account of $2,188,695, offset by a change in fair value of the warrant liability of $464,000.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net income of $6,609,492, and a loss from operations of $935,211, which was comprised of general and administrative expenses, and non-operating income of $7,544,703, which was comprised of a change in fair value of warrant liability of $7,192,000 and interest earned in the Trust Account of $352,703. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net income of $1,399,670, and a loss from operations of $557,530, which was comprised of general and administrative expenses, and non-operating income of $1,957,200, which was comprised of a change in fair value of warrant liability of $1,624,000 and interest earned in the Trust Account of $333,200.

Our only activities from inception to June 30, 2023 have been organizational activities, preparation for our public offering, and activities related to pursuing merger opportunities. Since the consummation of our Public Offering through June 30, 2023, our activity has been limited to the evaluation of potential initial business combination candidates, and we will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial business combination. We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents after the public offering. There has been no significant change in our financial or trading position and no material adverse change has occurred since the date of our audited financial statements. We are incurring increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

In connection with the preparation of the financial statements, the Company determined that there were errors related to the calculation of Redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares, which also impacted shareholders’ deficit in the previously issued financial statements for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022. Refer to Footnote 2 “Correction of immaterial errors in the Previously Issued Financial Statements” for details. The corrections were not material to prior year or interim periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Prior to the consummation of our Public Offering, our only sources of liquidity were an initial purchase of Founder Shares for $25,000 by the Sponsor, and a total of $296,235 of loans and advances from the Sponsor.

On November 15, 2021, we consummated our Public Offering in which we sold 23,000,000 of the Company’s Units (“Units”, held by “Public Shareholders”), each consisting of one Class A ordinary share (“Public Share”) and one-half warrant (“Redeemable Warrant”) to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50, at a price of $10.00 per Unit generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000 before underwriting fees and expenses. Simultaneously with the consummation of our Public Offering, we consummated the Private Placement of 11,700,000 Private Placement Warrants, each Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, to the Sponsor, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds, before expenses, of $11,700,000.

In connection with our Public Offering, the Company incurred offering costs of $13,267,977, consisting of $12,650,000 of underwriters fees of which $8,050,000 was recorded as Deferred Underwriting Commissions and $617,977 of other offering costs. Other offering costs consisted principally of formation and preparation fees related to our Public Offering. Of the total offering costs, $671,494 of which was allocated to the Warrants, were immediately expensed and $12,596,483 was allocated to redeemable Class A ordinary shares, reducing the carrying amount of such shares.

Of the $241,700,000 total proceeds from the Public Offering and Private Placement, $234,600,000 was placed in our U.S.-based Trust Account, established for the benefit of our public shareholders. Prior to the closing of our Public Offering, the Sponsor had made $296,235 in loans and advances to the Company. The loans and advances were non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of December 31, 2021 or the completion of our Public Offering. The loans of $296,235 were fully repaid upon the consummation of our Public Offering on November 15, 2021.

On May 9, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting and obtained shareholder approval of the extension of the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination from May 15, 2023 to May 15, 2024 by amending the Company’s Existing Charter (the “Extension Amendment”). The Extension Amendment became effective upon approval of the Company’s shareholders. In connection with the Extension Amendment, shareholders holding an aggregate of 9,985,568 Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company exercised their right to redeem their ordinary shares for approximately $10.50 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $104,889,892 of the funds held in the Company’s Trust Account. Following the Redemption, $136,755,526 remained in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, $104,889,892 was deducted from the Trust Account to pay such holders.

In connection with the above mentioned extension, beginning on May 16, 2023, and thereafter on the first day of each month (or if such first day is not a business day, on the business day immediately preceding such first day), the Company shall deposit additional funds into the Trust Account established in connection with the Company’s initial public offering an amount equal to the lesser of (i) $0.03 per public share multiplied by the number of Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, then outstanding and not redeemed in connection with the Extension Amendment and (ii) $300,000 (or a pro rata portion thereof if less than a full month), until the earlier of (a) the completion of a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, involving the Company and one or more businesses and (b) the announcement of the Company’s intention to wind up its operations. The Company deposited $164,516 and $300,000 in the Trust Account for the months of May and June 2023, respectively.

As of June 30, 2023, we have available to us $572,451 of cash on our balance sheet and a working capital deficit of $2,281,348. We will use the available cash primarily to find and evaluate target businesses, perform business, legal, and accounting 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. The interest income earned on the investments in our Trust Account are unavailable to fund operating expenses.

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with the initial business combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete our initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that our initial 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 to repay such loaned amounts. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into Private Placement Warrants of the post-business combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor. Except as set forth above, the terms of such loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. Prior to the completion of our initial business combination, we do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor 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. As of June 30, 2023, there was $2,600,000 outstanding under the Sponsor Convertible Note with a fair value of $260,000.

We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our acquisition plans. We anticipate that the cash held outside of the Trust Account as of June 30, 2023, will not be sufficient to allow us to operate until May 15, 2024, the extended date at which we must complete a Business Combination. If we are unable to complete a Business Combination by May 15, 2024, then we will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating.

In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB’s ASU 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” while we expect to have sufficient access to additional sources of capital under the Sponsor Convertible Note, there is no current obligation on the part of the Sponsor to provide additional capital and no assurances can be provided that such additional capital will ultimately be available if necessary. Management also has determined that the Company will be unable to complete a Business Combination by May 15, 2024, the extended date of which the Company must complete a Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by May 15, 2024, then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. Management has determined that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern due to the need to obtain additional capital from the Sponsor to address the Company’s liquidity condition, which the Sponsor is not obligated to advance, and the date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after May 15, 2024.

As of June 30, 2023, we have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or entered into any non-financial assets.

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the ongoing military conflict in Ukraine and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the conflict in Ukraine could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations, and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On June 9, 2021, the Sponsor purchased 5,750,000 Founder Shares of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares for an aggregate price of $25,000. The Sponsor subsequently transferred an aggregate of 402,500 Founder Shares to members of the Company’s board of directors, management team, board of advisors and/or their estate planning vehicles for the same per-share consideration that it originally paid for such shares, resulting in the Sponsor holding 5,347,500 Founder Shares. The Founder shares will automatically convert into shares of Class A ordinary shares at the time of the Company’s initial business combination.

Our initial shareholders have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion thereof until the earlier to occur of (A) one year after the completion of our initial business combination and (B) subsequent to our initial business combination, (x) if the closing price of our Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after our initial business combination, or (y) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of our public shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.

Sponsor Notes

Sponsor Convertible Note

On April 1, 2022, we issued an unsecured convertible promissory note (the “Sponsor Convertible Note”) to our Sponsor, pursuant to which we may borrow up to $5,000,000 from the Sponsor for ongoing expenses reasonably related to the business of the Company and the consummation of a Business Combination. The Sponsor Convertible Note is non-interest bearing and all unpaid principal will be due and payable in full on the earlier of (i) May 15, 2023 and (ii) the effective date of a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, involving us and one or more businesses (such earlier date, the “Maturity Date”). If we complete the initial business combination, we will repay any loaned amounts. In the event our initial 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 the Trust Account would be used to repay such loaned amounts.

Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into Private Placement Warrants of the post-business combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. Our Sponsor will have the option, at any time on or prior to the Maturity Date, to convert any amounts outstanding under the Sponsor Convertible Note, into warrants to purchase the Company’s Class A ordinary shares at a conversion price of $1.00 per warrant, with each warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to the same adjustments applicable to the private placement warrants sold concurrently with the Company’s Public Offering. The Sponsor Convertible Note is accounted for within the scope of ASC 480 and is measured at fair value upon the issuance and at each reporting period end with changes in fair value recognized in the Statement of Operations. The fair value of this Note considers the likelihood of an initial business combination closing and the potential value of such transaction against the likelihood of no initial business combination taking place resulting in the redemption of the public shares and the fair value of the loan approximating its liquidation value. The fair value of the embedded conversion feature upon the issuance of Sponsor Convertible Note is de minimis.

Issuance of Extension Convertible Promissory Note

On May 9, 2023 and June 2, 2023, the Company borrowed $150,000 and $450,000, respectively, from the Extension Convertible Promissory Note. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $450,000 in outstanding borrowings under the Extension Convertible Promissory Note with a fair value of $45,000.

Therefore, the total notes outstanding with the Sponsor was $305,000 for the Extension Convertible Promissory Note and the Sponsor Convertible Note

Commitments and Contractual Obligations

At June 30, 2023, we did not have any long-term debt, finance lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities.

Service and Administrative Fees

We agreed, commencing on November 10, 2021, to pay an affiliate of our Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support services provided to our management team. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has incurred $197,000 in these fees. Upon completion of a business combination or the Company’s liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of two percent (2%) of the gross proceeds of the Public Offering, or $4,600,000. Additionally, the underwriters will be entitled to a Deferred Underwriting Commission of 3.5% or $8,050,000 of the gross proceeds of the Public Offering held in the Trust Account upon the completion of the Company’s initial business combination subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. The Deferred Underwriting Commissions will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes an initial business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Registration and Shareholder Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants, and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans) were entitled to registration rights pursuant to the registration rights agreement signed upon the effective date of the Public Offering. The holders of these securities were entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we 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. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Employment Agreement

On September 1, 2022, we entered into the Employment Agreement with Mr. Shah. The Employment Agreement has a term commencing September 1, 2022 and terminates automatically on the later of (i) May 15, 2023, (ii) August 15, 2023 if the Company has executed a letter of intent or agreement in principle in connection with a business combination, and (iii) the closing date of a business combination. Under the Employment Agreement, Mr. Shah is entitled to earn an annual salary of $50,000 and will be reimbursed for all reasonable expenses necessary for him to carry out his duties. Mr. Shah or the Company may terminate the employment with three months’ written notice; however, no notice is required in the case of an automatic termination as described above, or for the Company to terminate the employment for cause, such as due to gross misconduct or material breach of obligations, as set forth under the Employment Agreement. The Employment Agreement also provides for post termination obligations for Mr. Shah, including customary non-compete covenants for up to six months following any termination.

As of June 30, 2023, Mr. Shah received compensation of $41,667 under the Employment Agreement. The foregoing description of the Employment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified by reference to the full text of the Employment Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.8 to this Annual Report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income Per Ordinary Share

The Company’s statement of operations includes a presentation of income per share for redeemable ordinary shares in a manner similar to the two-class method in calculating net income per ordinary share. Net income per ordinary share, basic and diluted, for Class A redeemable ordinary shares is computed by dividing the pro rata net income between the Class A redeemable ordinary share and the non-redeemable ordinary share by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period, adjusted for the effects of deemed dividend under the assumption that they represent dividends to the holders of Class A redeemable ordinary shares. Net income per non-redeemable ordinary shares, basic and diluted is computed by dividing the pro rata net income between the Class A redeemable ordinary share and the non-redeemable ordinary share by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period.

Derivative Liabilities

The Company evaluated the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants (collectively, “Warrant Securities”) in accordance with ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” and concluded that the Warrant Securities could not be accounted for as components of equity. As the Warrant Securities meet the definition of a derivative in accordance with ASC 815, the Warrant Securities are recorded as derivative liabilities on the balance sheet and measured at fair value at inception (the Closing Date) and remeasured at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement”, with changes in fair value recognized in the Statement of Operations in the period of change.

Redeemable Shares

All of the 23,000,000 Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the Units in the Public Offering 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 a business combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. In accordance with 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. 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 recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Such changes are reflected in retained earnings, or in the absence of retained earnings, in additional paid-in capital.

At June 30, 2023 the Redeemable Class A ordinary shares reflected in the balance sheets is reconciled in the following table:

Redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption at December 31, 2022	$	237,941,214
Less:
Redemption of Redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares		(104,889,892	)
Plus:
Remeasurement of carrying value to redemption value		5,198,384
Redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption at June 30, 2023	$	138,249,706

Investments Held in the Trust Account

Our portfolio of investments held in the Trust Account is comprised of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities, or a combination thereof. The investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheet 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 net gain from investments held in Trust Account on the statement of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.

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 the Company’s financial statement.

Emerging Growth Company

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by 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 of 2002, 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 stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

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 an emerging growth 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 an election to opt out is irrevocable.

We 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, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

Recent Developments

On May 9, 2023, we held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”). At the Extraordinary General Meeting, our shareholders approved several proposals to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Charter”) to (i) extend the date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination from May 15, 2023 to May 15, 2024 (the “Extended Date”), (ii) permit the Company’s board of directors, in its sole discretion, to elect to wind up the Company’s operations on an earlier date than the Extended Date as determined by the Board and included in a public announcement, (iii) eliminate from the Charter 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 in connection with the Company’s Business Combination, and (iv) provide for the right of a holder of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share to convert into Class A Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis prior to the closing of Business Combination at the election of the holder.

On May 9, 2023, as discussed above, pursuant to the Charter, the holders of the Class B Ordinary Shares, totaling 5,750,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, elected to convert 5,749,999 Class B Ordinary Shares held by them on a one-for-one basis into nonredeemable Class A Ordinary Shares, with immediate effect. Following such conversion, as of June 30, 2023, the Company had an aggregate of 5,749,999 Non-Redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, and one Class B Ordinary Share issued and outstanding.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our current chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our “Certifying Officers”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2023, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2023, due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting in connection with accounting for complex financial reporting transactions.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Specifically, the Company’s management has concluded that our control around the interpretation and accounting for certain complex financial reporting transactions was not effectively designed or maintained. This material weakness resulted in the immaterial corrections of the Company’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 and its interim financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2023, September 30, 2022, and June 30, 2022. Additionally, this material weakness could result in a misstatement of the Company's complex financial reporting transactions and related disclosures that would result in a material misstatement of the financial statements that would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our unaudited interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.

Management has undertaken remediation steps to address the material weaknesses, including increasing its management review processes over complex financial reporting transactions. This remediation is an ongoing process and there can be no assurance that it will effectively address the material weaknesses.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Aside from implementing the remediation steps above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
