Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on February 11, 2021 for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash derived from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Placement Units, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, shares and debt.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from February 11, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation, the Initial Public Offering, which is described below, and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.

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

Recent Developments

Business Combination Agreement

On May 2, 2023, the Company, Merger Sub, Avertix, and, solely with respect to Section 3.03(b) and Section 7.21 of the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor, entered into the Business Combination Agreement, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Avertix, with Avertix surviving the Merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, prior to (but no later than the day preceding) the Closing and following the exercise of redemption rights by Public Shareholders, the Company will domesticate as a Delaware corporation in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Companies Act (as revised) of the Cayman Islands. Upon the effectiveness of the Domestication, the Company will change its name to “Avertix Medical, Inc.”

Upon the effectiveness of the Domestication, (i) each then issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share of the Company will convert automatically into one (1) share of New Avertix Common Stock, (ii) each then issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share of the Company will convert automatically into one (1) share of New Avertix Common Stock, (iii) each then issued and outstanding warrant of the Company exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share of the Company will convert automatically into one New Avertix warrant exercisable to purchase one share of New Avertix Common Stock and (iv) each unit consisting of one Class A ordinary share of the Company and one-half of one warrant of the Company will convert automatically into a unit consisting of one share of New Avertix Common Stock and one-half of one New Avertix warrant.

Upon the consummation of the Merger, (i) each share of Avertix Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be canceled and converted into the right to receive (A) a number of shares of New Avertix Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio and (B) the holder of such Avertix Common Stock’s contingent right to receive such holder’s pro rata share of the Avertix Earnout Shares in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, in each case, without interest, and (ii) each Avertix Option that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether then vested or unvested, will be assumed by New Avertix and converted into (A) an option to purchase a number of shares of New Avertix Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to (x) the number of shares of Avertix Common Stock subject to such Avertix Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (y) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (1) the exercise price per share of such Avertix Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (2) the Exchange Ratio and (B) the holder of such Avertix Option’s contingent right to receive such holder’s pro rata share of the Avertix Earnout Shares in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement.

16

Following the Closing, as additional consideration for the Avertix Transactions, eligible equity holders of Avertix will be entitled to receive their respective pro rata share of 2,970,000 Avertix Earnout Shares in two equal tranches, each contingent upon New Avertix’s achievement of the applicable stock price milestones during the Earnout Period; provided that, with respect to any holder of a unvested Exchanged Option, an award of restricted stock units for a number of Avertix Earnout Shares otherwise issuable to such holder and subject to the same vesting terms as the unvested Exchanged Option will be issued to such holder in lieu of any Avertix Earnout Shares.

At the Effective Time, a portion of the Sponsor’s Founder Shares, consisting of 1,150,000 Class B ordinary shares of the Company as of the date hereof, will become unvested and subject to vesting and forfeiture, and will thereafter become vested only upon the occurrence of the applicable Triggering Event in the same proportion as the issuance of Avertix Earnout Shares to eligible equity holders of Avertix upon the occurrence of such Triggering Event. The Sponsor Earnout Shares are subject to reduction in connection with certain additional financing permitted under the Business Combination Agreement, and will be forfeited if the applicable Triggering Events do not occur during the Earnout Period.

The foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement and the Avertix Transactions does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which is included hereto as Exhibit 2.1 to this Quarterly Report and incorporated herein by reference.

A&R Registration Rights Agreement

At the Closing, the Company, the Sponsor, the executive officers and directors of the Company, and certain equity holders of Avertix will enter into the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, the parties thereto will be granted customary registration rights with respect to shares of New Avertix Common Stock.

The foregoing description of the A&R Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of A&R Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this Quarterly Report and incorporated herein by reference.

Lock-Up Arrangements

The Sponsor, holders of Placement Units, and Avertix equity holders will be subject the Lock-Up contained in the proposed bylaws of New Avertix, pursuant to which, without the prior written consent of New Avertix’s board of directors, during the period commencing on the date of the Closing and ending on the date that is the one-year anniversary of the Closing, such parties will not (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, such shares or other equity securities or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of New Avertix Common Stock; provided, however, (a) if at any time 151 days after the Closing, the closing share price of New Avertix Common Stock is greater than or equal to $12.50 over any 20 trading days within any consecutive 30 trading day period, then one-third (1/3) of the Lock-Up Securities shall automatically be released from the Lock-Up, and (b) if at any time 151 days after the Closing, the closing share price of the New Avertix Common Stock is greater than or equal to $15.00 over any 20 trading days within any consecutive 30 trading day period, then an additional one-third (1/3) of the Lock-Up Securities shall be released from the Lock-Up. For clarity, in the event that the Initial Price Target and/or the Second Price Target are not met, then the Lock-up Period shall terminate for all Lock-up Securities on the one-year anniversary of the Closing. The lock-up restrictions contain customary exceptions, including for estate planning transfers, affiliates transfers, certain open market transfers and transfers upon death or by will.

Pursuant to the Letter Agreement Amendment by and between the Company, its officers and directors, and the Sponsor, to be entered into at the Closing and A&R Registration Rights Agreement, the lock-up restrictions for the Sponsor At-Risk Capital Lockup Shares, the Placement Shares and Placement Warrants (each as defined in the Letter Agreement Amendment) will lapse upon the six-month anniversary of the Closing, unless the Initial Price Target or Second Price Target are achieved before such date.

The foregoing description of the Lock-Up, Letter Agreement Amendment and A&R Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of the New Avertix’s bylaws, the form of the Letter Agreement Amendment and the form of A&R Registration Rights Agreement, copies of which are included as Exhibit B to the Business Combination Agreement included as Exhibit 2.1, Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, to this Quarterly Report and incorporated herein by reference.

Stockholder Support Agreement

On May 2, 2023, the Company, Avertix, and Key Avertix Holders entered into the Stockholder Support Agreements, pursuant to which the Key Avertix Holders agreed to, among other things, (i) waive any appraisal rights in connection with the Merger and (ii) consent to and vote in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and the Avertix Transactions.

The foregoing description of the Stockholder Support Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Stockholder Support Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.3 to this Quarterly Report and incorporated herein by reference.

Sponsor Support Agreement

On May 2, 2023, the Company, the Sponsor, and Avertix entered into the Sponsor Support Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, the Sponsor has agreed to (i) vote all of its ordinary shares in favor of the proposals being presented at the extraordinary general meeting of Public Shareholders, (ii) waive the anti-dilution or similar protections with respect to the Sponsor’s Founder Shares, consisting of 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares of the Company as of the date hereof, in connection with the consummation of the Avertix Transactions and (iii) not redeem any of its shares in connection with the vote to approve the Avertix Transactions.

The foregoing description of the Sponsor Support Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Sponsor Support Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.4 to this Quarterly Report and incorporated herein by reference.

Extension

On June 2, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”). At the Meeting, the Company’s shareholders of approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Charter Amendment”) to (i) extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial Business Combination from June 7, 2023 to December 7, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the Board) (the “Extension”) and (ii) provide for the right of a holder of Class B Ordinary Shares to convert such shares into Class A Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis at any time prior to the closing of the Initial Business Combination at the option of a holder of Class B Ordinary Shares (the “Founder Share Amendment Proposal”). The Company filed the Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on June 2, 2023.

In connection with the vote to approve the Extension, holders of 9,942,523 Class A Ordinary Shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.53 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $104,708,794.59, with a net amount of funds remaining in the Trust Account following such redemptions of approximately $137,513,654.92.

In connection with the Extension, the Company issued a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,500,000 to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan to the Company up to $1,500,000 (the “Extension Funds”) to deposit into the Company’s Trust Account for the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), held by the Company’s public shareholders that were not redeemed in connection with the extension of the Company’s termination date from June 7, 2023 to December 7, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the board of directors of the Company).

The Company will deposit $250,000 into the Trust Account for each calendar month (commencing on June 7, 2023 and ending on the 7th day of each subsequent month), or portion thereof, that is needed by the Company to complete an initial business combination until December 7, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the Board), and such amount will be distributed either to: (i) all of the holders of Public Shares upon the Company’s liquidation or (ii) holders of Public Shares who elect to have their shares redeemed in connection with the consummation of the initial business combination.

Results of Operations

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

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we had net income of $1,240,548, which consisted of interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $2,519,539, offset by formation and operating costs of $1,278,991.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we had net income of $3,561,912, which consisted of interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $5,116,177, offset by formation and operating costs of $1,554,265.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we had net income of $24,921, which consisted of interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $280,345, offset by formation and operating costs of $255,424.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had net loss of $236,901, which consisted of formation and operating costs of $562,613, offset by interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $325,712.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On December 7, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 Units, which includes the full exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option in the amount of 3,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 560,000 Placement Units at a price of $10.000 per Placement Unit in a private placement to the Sponsor and Cantor, generating gross proceeds of $5,600,000.

Following the Initial Public Offering, the full exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Placement Units, a total of $234,600,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $14,483,021 in Initial Public Offering related costs, including $4,000,000 of underwriting fees and $683,021 of other offering costs.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, cash used in operating activities was $1,194,526. Net income of $3,561,912 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $5,116,177. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $359,739 of cash for operating activities.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $273,349. Net loss of $236,901 was affected by interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $325,712. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $289,264 of cash for operating activities.

18

As of June 30, 2023, we had investments held in the Trust Account of $138,433,205 (including approximately $4,996,940 of interest income) consisting of U.S. Treasury Bills with a maturity of 185 days less and or money market funds investing solely in U.S. government treasury obligations and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. We withdrew an amount of $ 104,708,795 from the Trust Account in connection with redemption. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less income taxes payable), to complete the Avertix Transactions or if we do not complete the Avertix Transactions, a Business Combination with a different target. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination (as is the case in the Avertix Transactions), the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

As of June 30, 2023, we had cash of $2,454. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete the Avertix Transactions or if we do not complete the Avertix Transactions, a Business Combination with a different target.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into Units of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per Unit. The Units would be identical to the Private Placement Units.

We believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for completing a Business Combination (such as the Avertix Transactions). If our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination (such as the Avertix Transactions) are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to complete a Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $2,454 in its operating bank account and a working capital deficit of $1,782,377. In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Working Capital Loans (see Note 5). Accordingly, we may not be able to obtain additional financing. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction and reducing overhead expenses. We cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

Also, in connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the authoritative guidance in FASB ASU Subtopic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern,” management has determined that if the Company is unable to raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity needs as well as complete a Business Combination by December 7, 2023, the extended liquidation date, then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The liquidity condition as well as the date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after December 7, 2023, the extended liquidation date. The Company intends to complete the Avertix Transactions or an alternative Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date. In addition, the Company intends to hold an extraordinary general meeting in lieu of an annual general meeting of the Company at which shareholders will vote on a proposal to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to give the Board the right to extend the mandatory liquidation date from June 7, 2023 (the “Original Termination Date”) on a monthly basis up to six times until December 7, 2023, or for a total of up to six months after the Original Termination Date (or such earlier date as determined by the Board) (the “Extension”). If the Extension is approved, the Board intends to extend the Original Termination Date.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2023. 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 purchased any non-financial assets.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement, to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $20,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support services. We began incurring these fees on December 2, 2021 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of a Business Combination (such as the Avertix Transactions) and our liquidation.

The underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $4,000,000 in the aggregate, which was paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of (i) $0.40 per Unit of the gross proceeds of the initial 20,000,000 Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, or $8,000,000 in the aggregate, and (ii) $0.60 per Unit of the gross proceeds from the Units sold pursuant to the over-allotment option, or $1,800,000. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination (such as the Avertix Transactions), subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

19

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. The Company did not identify any critical accounting estimates.

20

Factors That May Adversely Affect our Results of Operations

Our results of operations and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond our control. Our business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, increases in interest rates, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including resurgences and the emergence of new variants, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflict in Ukraine. We cannot at this time fully predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact our business and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this Item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the “Certifying Officer”), or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Certifying Officer, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2023 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II-OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

To the knowledge of our management team, there is no litigation currently pending or contemplated against us, any of our officers or directors in their capacity as such or against any of our property.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

As a smaller reporting company under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to include risk factors in this Quarterly Report. However, as of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes with respect to those risk factors previously disclosed in our (i) Registration Statement on Form S-1 originally filed with the SEC on July 20, 2021, as amended (“IPO Registration Statement”), (ii) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC on May 12, 2022, (iii) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023, (iv) Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on May 12, 2023 and (v) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 as filed with the SEC on May 15, 2023. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risks could arise that may also affect our business or ability to consummate an initial Business Combination. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC. For risks relating to Avertix and the Avertix Transactions see the Company’s Registration Statement on S-4 initially filed with the SEC on May 15, 2023.

In connection with the Extension, shareholders holding 9,942,523 public shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the trust account.
