On November 13, 2023, the Registration Assertion was declared efficient by the SEC, and we then filed the definitive proxy assertion/prospectus with the SEC and commenced the mailing of the definitive proxy assertion/prospectus and different related paperwork to our stockholders as of November 6, 2023, the file date established for voting on the Proposed Enterprise Mixture. Whereas we at present anticipate closing the Proposed Enterprise Mixture previous to the Present Termination Date, the Board understands that unexpected occasions might come up that may delay the consummation of the Proposed Enterprise Mixture. Due to this fact, out of an abundance of warning, the Board has decided that it’s advisable to amend our constitution to increase the date that now we have to consummate an preliminary enterprise mixture to the Prolonged Date. Within the occasion that we consummate the Proposed Enterprise Mixture previous to the particular assembly or consider that we will consummate the Proposed Enterprise Mixture previous to the Present Termination Date, or the Board in any other case determines to not proceed with the Extension previous to the particular assembly, we is not going to maintain the particular assembly.

Holders of shares of our Class A typical inventory, par worth $0.0001 per share (“Class A typical inventory”), included as a part of the items offered in our preliminary public providing (the “IPO”, such shares, the “public shares”, and such holders, the “public stockholders”) could elect to redeem all or a portion of their shares for his or her professional rata portion of the funds out there within the belief account established for the good thing about the general public stockholders (the “belief account”) in reference to the Constitution Modification Proposal (the “Election”) no matter whether or not such public stockholders vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” the Constitution Modification Proposal, and the Election may also be made by public stockholders who abstain, don’t vote, or don’t instruct their dealer or financial institution methods to vote, on the particular assembly. Public stockholders could make the Election no matter whether or not such public stockholders had been holders as of the file date. We consider that such redemption proper protects the general public stockholders from having to maintain their investments for an unreasonably lengthy interval if we don’t consummate an appropriate preliminary enterprise mixture within the timeframe contemplated by our constitution. As well as, no matter whether or not public stockholders vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” the Constitution Modification Proposal, abstain, don’t vote, or don’t instruct their dealer or financial institution methods to vote, on the particular assembly, if the Constitution Modification Proposal is accredited by the requisite vote of stockholders and the Extension is carried out, the remaining public stockholders will retain their proper to redeem their public shares for his or her professional rata portion of the funds out there within the belief account upon consummation of an preliminary enterprise mixture.

We estimate that the per-share professional rata portion of the belief account will probably be roughly $10.37 on the time of the particular assembly, primarily based on the approximate quantity of $15.3 million held within the belief account as of September 30, 2023 (excluding any curiosity withdrawn at such date and never but utilized to our taxes payable and never taking into consideration any additional accrual of curiosity or withdrawal of curiosity to pay our taxes). The closing value of our Class A typical inventory on the Nasdaq Capital Market on November 20, 2023 was $10.40. Accordingly, if the market value had been to stay the identical till the date of the particular assembly, exercising redemption rights would lead to a public stockholder receiving roughly $0.03 much less for every share than if such stockholder offered its public shares within the open market. We can’t guarantee public stockholders that they may be capable of promote their public shares within the open market, even when the market value per share is greater than the redemption value acknowledged above, as there might not be adequate liquidity in our securities when such stockholders want to promote their shares.

The IR Act supplies for, amongst different issues, a brand new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on sure repurchases (together with redemptions) of inventory by publicly traded U.S. home companies and sure U.S. home subsidiaries of publicly traded overseas companies occurring on or after January 1, 2023.

To guard quantities held within the belief account, our sponsor has agreed that it is going to be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a 3rd get together for companies rendered or merchandise offered to us, or a potential goal enterprise with which now we have entered right into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or related settlement or enterprise mixture settlement, cut back the quantity of funds within the belief account to under the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the precise quantity per public share held within the belief account as of the date of the liquidation of the belief account, if lower than $10.00 per public share resulting from reductions within the worth of the belief property, much less taxes payable, offered that such legal responsibility is not going to apply to any claims by a 3rd get together or potential goal enterprise who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held within the belief account (whether or not or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims underneath our indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO towards sure liabilities, together with liabilities underneath the Securities Act.

RISK FACTORS

It is best to take into account rigorously the entire dangers described within the last prospectus for the IPO, our Annual Report on Type 10-Ok for the fiscal yr ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on March 10, 2023 and any subsequently filed Quarterly Studies on Type 10-Q, the Registration Assertion and within the different stories we file with the SEC earlier than making a call to put money into our securities. Moreover, if any of the next occasions happen, our enterprise, monetary situation and working outcomes could also be materially adversely affected or we might face liquidation. In that occasion, the buying and selling value of our securities might decline, and you could possibly lose all or a part of your funding. The dangers and uncertainties described within the aforementioned filings and under usually are not the one ones we face. Further dangers and uncertainties that we’re unaware of, or that we at present consider usually are not materials, may change into vital elements that adversely have an effect on our enterprise, monetary situation and working outcomes or lead to our liquidation.

There aren’t any assurances that the Extension will allow us to finish an preliminary enterprise mixture.

Approving the Constitution Modification Proposal entails quite a few dangers. Even when such proposal is accredited and the Extension is carried out, we will present no assurances that an preliminary enterprise mixture will probably be consummated previous to the Prolonged Date. Our means to consummate any enterprise mixture, together with the Proposed Enterprise Mixture, depends on a wide range of elements, a lot of that are past our management. If the Constitution Modification Proposal is accredited and the Extension is carried out, we anticipate to hunt stockholder approval of the Proposed Enterprise Mixture (or one other preliminary enterprise mixture). We’re required to supply the general public stockholders the chance to redeem their public shares in reference to the approval of sure amendments to our constitution, together with with respect to the Constitution Modification Proposal, and we will probably be required to supply the general public stockholders redemption rights once more in reference to any stockholder vote to approve the Proposed Enterprise Mixture (or one other preliminary enterprise mixture). Even when the Constitution Modification Proposal is accredited and the Extension is carried out, or if the Proposed Enterprise Mixture (or one other preliminary enterprise mixture) is accredited by our stockholders, it’s doable that redemptions will go away us with inadequate money to consummate an preliminary enterprise mixture on commercially acceptable phrases, or in any respect. This threat is magnified as a result of we paid roughly $145.2 million out of the belief account to stockholders that redeemed their public shares in reference to the First Extension. The truth that we could have separate redemption durations in connection the approval of sure amendments to our constitution, together with with respect to the Constitution Modification Proposal, and an preliminary enterprise mixture vote might exacerbate these dangers. Aside from in reference to a redemption provide or liquidation, our stockholders could also be unable to recuperate their funding besides by means of gross sales of our shares on the open market. The value of our shares could also be unstable, and there might be no assurance that stockholders will be capable of get rid of their shares at favorable costs, or in any respect.

The flexibility of the general public stockholders to train redemption rights with respect to a lot of public shares if the Constitution Modification Proposal is accredited and the Extension is carried out, and the finished redemptions of public shares in reference to the First Extension, could adversely have an effect on the liquidity of our securities.

Pursuant to our constitution, every public stockholder could search to redeem all or a portion of such stockholder’s public shares for its professional rata portion of the funds out there within the belief account, together with curiosity earned on the funds held within the belief account and never beforehand launched to us (much less taxes payable), in reference to the approval of the Constitution Modification Proposal and implementation of the Extension. The flexibility of the general public stockholders to train such redemption rights with respect to a lot of public shares could adversely have an effect on the liquidity of our securities. This threat is magnified as a result of we paid roughly $145.2 million out of the belief account to stockholders that redeemed their public shares in reference to the First Extension. Because of this, if the Constitution Modification Proposal is accredited and the Extension is carried out, you might be unable to promote your public shares even when the per-share market value is greater than the per-share redemption value paid to public stockholders that elected to redeem their public shares in reference to the approval of the Constitution Modification Proposal and implementation of the Extension.

Since our preliminary stockholders, officers and administrators will lose their complete funding in us if our preliminary enterprise mixture isn’t accomplished, the Board could have a battle of curiosity in making their advice that you simply vote in favor of the Constitution Modification Proposal.

The founder shares and the non-public shares will subsequently be nugatory if we don’t full an preliminary enterprise mixture; nonetheless, such individuals could be entitled to liquidating distributions from the belief account with respect to any public shares they maintain. There will probably be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the non-public warrants underlying the non-public placement items, which can expire nugatory if we don’t full an preliminary enterprise mixture.

These pursuits, amongst others, could affect our administrators in making their advice that you simply vote in favor of the Constitution Modification Proposal. See the part of this proxy assertion entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Constitution Modification Proposal — Pursuits of Our Preliminary Stockholders, Administrators and Officers.”

Since our anchor buyers will purchase founder shares from our sponsor upon consummation of our preliminary enterprise mixture, a battle of curiosity could come up in reference to the approval of the Constitution Modification Proposal.

In reference to the closing of the IPO, sure certified institutional consumers or institutional accredited buyers that aren’t affiliated with us, our sponsor, our administrators or any member of our administration workforce (“anchor buyers”) acquired an financial curiosity in 100,000 founder shares (or an mixture of 900,000 founder shares) for a nominal quantity, which our sponsor will distribute to our anchor buyers after the completion of an preliminary enterprise mixture. Accordingly, our anchor buyers will share in any appreciation within the worth of the founder shares above that nominal quantity, offered that we efficiently full a enterprise mixture.

Nevertheless, curiosity beforehand earned on the funds held within the belief account nonetheless could also be launched to us to pay our taxes, if any, and sure different bills as permitted. Because of this, our determination to liquidate the securities held within the belief account and thereafter to carry all funds within the belief account in an curiosity-bearing demand deposit account could cut back the greenback quantity the general public stockholders would obtain upon any redemption or liquidation of our firm.

The longer that the funds within the belief account are held briefly-term U.S. authorities treasury obligations or in cash market funds invested solely in such securities, the better the danger that we could also be thought-about an unregistered funding firm, by which case we could also be required to liquidate our firm.
