The Company will provide holders (the “Public Shareholders”) of its Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001, sold in the Initial Public Offering (the “Public Shares”), with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.00 per Public Share). The per-share amount to be distributed to Public Shareholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 5). These Public Shares are classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”). In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 and the approval of an ordinary resolution. If a shareholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the transactions is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem its Public Shares irrespective of whether it votes for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the initial shareholders (as defined below) have agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined below in Note 4) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company adopted an insider trading policy which requires insiders to (i) refrain from purchasing shares during certain blackout periods and when they are in possession of any material non-public information and (ii) clear all trades with the Company’s legal counsel prior to execution. In addition, the initial shareholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Class A ordinary shares sold in the Initial Public Offering, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Company’s Sponsor, officers and directors (the “initial shareholders”) have agreed not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with its initial business combination or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination by the Extended Date (as defined below) from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (the “Combination Period”) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Class A ordinary shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

On May 17, 2022, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “Letter of Intent”) with a differentiated food tech platform (the “Target”) for an initial business combination. On April 3, 2023, the Letter of Intent between the Company and the Target was terminated. The Company is continuing to pursue other opportunities.

On June 15, 2022, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”) which amended the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial Business Combination from June 21, 2022 (the “Original Termination Date”) to March 21, 2023. As part of the Extraordinary General Meeting, shareholders elected to redeem 11,093,735 Class A ordinary shares, resulting in redemption payments out of the Trust Account totaling $111,062,537, or approximately $10.01 per share which includes $125,817 of earnings in the Trust Account not previously withdrawn. Subsequent to the redemptions, 7,406,265 Class A ordinary shares remained issued and outstanding. In order to support the extension to consummate an initial Business Combination to March 21, 2023, the Sponsor agreed to deposit $244,407 into the Trust Account, which is an aggregate of $0.033 per Class A ordinary share for each month of the extension period up to and until October 21, 2022, pro-rated for partial months during the extension period, resulting in a maximum contribution of $977,627, or $0.132 per share of Class A ordinary shares that were not redeemed in connection with the Extraordinary

General Meeting. Contributions in the amount of $0.033 per Class A ordinary shares were funded on each of June, July, August and September 21, 2022. The Company also agreed to provide the holders of Class A ordinary shares then outstanding with the opportunity to redeem their Class A ordinary shares on or about October 21, 2022 if the Company did not consummate its initial Business Combination as of October 21, 2022. On October 21, 2022, the Company launched a fixed price tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) to purchase and redeem its Class A Ordinary Shares at a purchase price of $10.21 per share of Class A Ordinary Shares, net to seller in cash and without interest upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Tender Offer.

On January 6, 2023, the Tender Offer expired (the “Expiration Time”). A total of 4,101,830 Class A ordinary shares were validly tendered and not withdrawn in the Tender Offer. The Company accepted for purchase all such Class A ordinary shares at a purchase price of $10.21 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $41,879,684, which includes $319,942 of earnings in the Trust Account not previously withdrawn. After giving effect to the Tender Offer, there were 3,304,435 Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding. In connection with the Tender Offer, the Sponsor deposited an additional $198,266 into the Trust Account (an aggregate of $0.06 per Class A ordinary share) on each of January, February and March 9, 2023.

On March 10, 2023, pursuant to the terms of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company, the Sponsor, the holder of an aggregate of 4,475,000 shares of the Company’s Class B Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 per share, elected to convert 4,475,000 shares of the Class B Ordinary Shares held by it on a one-for-one basis into Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company, with immediate effect. Following such conversion, the Company had an aggregate of 7,779,435 shares of Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, of which 3,304,435 were subject to possible redemption, and 150,000 shares of Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding. In connection with the conversion, the Sponsor has agreed to certain transfer restrictions, a waiver of redemption rights, a waiver of any right to receive funds from the Trust Account and the obligation to vote in favor of an initial business combination.

On March 15, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Extension Meeting”), to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Articles Amendment”) to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from March 21, 2023 to March 21, 2024 (such proposal, the “Extension Amendment Proposal” and such date, the “Extended Date”). The shareholders of the Company approved the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal at the Extension Meeting and on March 15, 2023, the Company filed the Articles Amendment with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies.

As part of the Extension Meeting, shareholders elected to redeem 1,444,221 Class A ordinary shares, resulting in redemption payments out of the Trust Account totaling $15,297,014, or approximately $10.59 per share which includes $404,207 of earnings in the Trust Account not previously withdrawn. Subsequent to the redemptions and the conversion and through September 30, 2023, 6,335,214 Class A ordinary shares remained issued and outstanding, of which 1,860,214 were subject to possible redemption.

The Company and the Sponsor have agreed that they will deposit into the Trust Account an amount equal to the lesser of (i) $0.04 per share or (ii) $65,000.00 for each month (the “Monthly Contribution”) of the extension period up and until February 21, 2024, resulting in a maximum contribution of $0.48 per share of Class A Ordinary Shares that is not redeemed in connection with the Extension Meeting (the “Maximum Contribution”, and the period from March 21, 2023 to March 21, 2024 the “Guaranteed Payment Period”), subject to the Company’s and the Sponsor’s right to stop making said Monthly Contributions. In connection with the Monthly Contribution, the Sponsor deposited $65,000 into the Trust Account on March 27, 2023, April 25, 2023, May 22, 2023, June 21, 2023, July 21, 2023, August 21, 2023 and September 20, 2023. Subsequent Monthly Contributions will be funded on or prior to the 21st of each month thereafter through February 21, 2024; provided that, no such deposits will be made following the completion of any business combination. The Sponsor deposited $65,000 into the Trust Account on October 20, 2023.

​

The per-share pro rata portion of the Trust Account on September 30, 2023 was approximately $11.14. In the event the Company or the Sponsor elects to stop funding the Monthly Contribution, which either may do in its sole discretion, all then outstanding holders of the Class A Ordinary Shares not redeemed in connection with the Extension Meeting will be given an opportunity to redeem their shares at that time, and any shareholder that redeems their shares in such an event will receive a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by the Extended Date the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (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 issued and 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 the remaining shareholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law.

The initial shareholders have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the initial shareholders or members of the Company’s management team acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 5) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within in the Combination Period and, in such event, such amount will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.00 per share initially held in the Trust Account. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (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 (except for the Company’s independent registered accounting firm), 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.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $18,970 in its operating bank accounts, $20,727,480 in the Trust Account to be used for a Business Combination or to repurchase or redeem its ordinary shares in connection therewith and working capital deficit of $3,844,599.

Until the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination. Based on its current cash and working capital balances, management believes that the Company will not have sufficient working capital to meet its needs through the consummation of a Bussiness Combination.

​

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required. The terms of such loans have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. However, as discussed in Note 4, as of September 30, 2023, the Company is indebted to the Sponsor and its affiliates for $981,870 which represents operating and formation costs paid by these related parties on the Company’s behalf. The Sponsor is not under any obligation to make additional expenditures on the Company’s behalf.

In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Subtopic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern”, management has determined that the date for mandatory liquidation and dissolution raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time which is considered to be one year from the issuance of these unaudited condensed financial statements. The Company also demonstrates other adverse conditions that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year following the issuance of these unaudited condensed financial statements. These other adverse conditions are negative financial trends, specifically working capital deficiency and other adverse key financial ratios. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts or classification of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after March 21, 2024, our scheduled liquidation date if we do not elect to extend the Extended Date or complete the Business Combination prior to the Extended Date.

result, the Company determined that, taking into account that there is a possibility that a Business Combination might not happen, no stock-based compensation expense should be recognized through September 30, 2023.

Promissory Note – Related Party

On February 22, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). This loan is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of September 30, 2021 or the completion of the Initial Public Offering. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31,2022, the Company had no amounts outstanding under the Note.

Private Placement Warrants

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 4,950,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant for an aggregate purchase price of $7,425,000. Each warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share (see Note 6). If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Warrants until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination.

Working Capital Loans

In addition, 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, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into private placement warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant. As of the filing date, September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no borrowings under any Working Capital Loans.

Administrative Services Agreement

Pursuant to an administrative services agreement (the “Administrative Services Agreement”) entered into on June 16, 2021, the Company has agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of (A) $40,000 per month and continuing monthly until the Extended Date, and (B) on the Extended Date, an amount equal to $480,000 less any amounts previously paid by the Company for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support services provided to members of the Company’s management team.As of the Original Termination Date, the total amount of $480,000 was incurred. There have been no expenses incurred since the Original Termination Date. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the Company incurred $0 and $360,000 in fees for these services, respectively, which is included in operating and formation costs on the condensed statements of operations. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no fees outstanding for these services.

Operating and Formation Costs

Through September 30, 2023, the Sponsor and affiliates of the Sponsor also paid operating and formation costs of $981,870 on behalf of the Company which are due on demand. Of such costs, $237,500 were paid as of December 31, 2022 and $744,370 were paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. These amounts are included in due to related party on the condensed balance sheets as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

​

The exercise price and number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital-raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per Class A ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the initial shareholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the initial shareholders or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, plus interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume-weighted average trading price of the Class A ordinary shares during the 10-trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates the initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, then the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described below will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $10.00 per share redemption trigger price described below will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, (i) are not redeemable by the Company, (ii) may not (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants), subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination, (iii) may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis and (iv) are entitled to registration rights. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants are redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may call the Public Warrants for redemption (except with respect to the Private Placement Warrants if they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees):

In addition, once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may call the warrants for redemption:

The “fair market value” of the Class A ordinary shares for the above purpose shall mean the volume-weighted average price of the 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. In no event are the warrants to be exercisable in connection with this redemption feature for more than 0.361 Class A ordinary shares per warrant (subject to adjustment).

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management has 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. Additionally, in no event is the Company to be required to net cash settle any Warrants. If the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination by the Extended Date 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 respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

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, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor, officers or directors upon conversion of Working Capital Loans; provided that such conversion of Founder Shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.
