Note 1 — Organization, Business Operations and Going Concern

Organization and General

North Atlantic Acquisition Corporation  was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on October 14, 2020. The Company was incorporated 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 Company’s sponsor is NAAC Sponsor LP, a Delaware LP.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from October 14, 2020 (inception) through June 30, 2022 relates to the Company’s formation and the IPO described below, and since the closing of the IPO, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash held in Trust Account from the proceeds derived from the IPO and will recognize changes in the fair value of the forward purchase agreement (“FPA”) and warrant liability as other income (expense).

Financing

The Registration Statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective January 21, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). On January 26, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 33,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $330,000,000, which is discussed in Note 3. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 6,466,667 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of  $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant which is discussed in Note 4.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the underwriters elected to exercise its full over-allotment option for 4,950,000 Units which, at $10.00 per Unit, generated gross proceeds of $49,500,000. The Company, in parallel, consummated the private placement of an additional 660,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, which generated total additional gross proceeds of $990,000.

Transaction costs of the IPO amounted to $21,283,859, consisting of $7,590,000 of underwriting discount, $13,282,500 of deferred underwriting discount, and $411,359 of other offering costs. Effective on the date of the IPO, $933,632 of offering costs associated with the issuance of the warrants was expensed while the remaining $20,350,227 was initially classified as temporary equity.

Trust Account

Following the closing of the IPO on January 26, 2021, $379,500,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net offering proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a Trust Account and invested in U.S. government securities,  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. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its tax obligations, the proceeds from the IPO will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of the Company’s public shares. If the Company does not complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, subject to applicable law, or (iii) the redemption of the Company’s public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to (A) modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its public shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity. 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 the Company’s

public shareholders. While the Companys management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the cash held outside of the Trust Account, substantially all of the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, which are placed in the Trust Account, are intended to be applied generally toward completing a Business Combination.

Initial Business Combination

The Company will provide its public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) without a shareholder vote by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a proposed Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The shareholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.00 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes).

The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions held in the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully.

The Company will have until the end of the Combination Period to complete the initial Business Combination. However, if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (less any 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), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law.

The Sponsor and its officers and directors have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and public shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and public shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their founder shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, and (iv) vote any founder shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after the IPO (including in open market and privately-negotiated transactions) in favor of the initial Business Combination.

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 has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 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 the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and the Company believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. None of the Company’s officers or directors will indemnify the Company for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

Business Combination Agreement

As reported to the SEC on April 19, 2022 in the Company’s Definitive proxy statement, the board of directors of the Company unanimously approved the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of December 16, 2021 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among the Company, Belgacom International Carrier Services SA/NV, a Belgian limited liability company (société anonyme) (“BICS”), Torino Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation (“TeleSign”), NAAC Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“New Holdco”), and North Atlantic Acquisition, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of New Holdco (“New SPAC”).

On June 30, 2022, BICS notified the Company that it was terminating the Business Combination Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and the parties shall have no further obligations thereunder. As a result of the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, all related ancillary agreements entered into in connection with the Business Combination Agreement were also terminated on June 30, 2022. The material terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and the related ancillary agreements were previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on December 17, 2021.

Subscription Agreements

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company entered into separate subscription agreements (collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”) with a number of investors (collectively, the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which the PIPE Investors agreed to purchase, and the Company agreed that New Holdco will sell to the PIPE Investors, an aggregate of 11,698,750 shares of New Holdco Common Stock (the “PIPE Shares”) in a private placement or placements (the “Private Placements”) for an aggregate purchase price of $107,500,000.

In connection with the termination of the Business Combination Agreement with BICS, the Subscription Agreements were terminated on June 30, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $496,780 in its operating bank account, and a working capital deficit of $1,203,413. In August 2021, the Sponsor loaned the Company approximately $1.2 million. Repayment of this loan is not expected to occur until consummation of a Business Combination.

Prior to the completion of the IPO, the Company’s liquidity needs had been satisfied through a capital contribution from the Sponsor of $25,000, to cover certain offering costs, for the founder shares (see Note 5), and the loan under an unsecured promissory note from the Sponsor of $175,069. The promissory note from the Sponsor was paid in full on March 3, 2021.Subsequent to the consummation of the IPO and private placement, the Company’s liquidity needs have been satisfied through the proceeds from the consummation of the private placement not held in the Trust Account and borrowings of $1,199,994 under a promissory note issued August 6, 2021 (see Note 5).

In connection with the Company’s 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,” management has determined that the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution, should the Company be unable to complete a Business Combination, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has until January 2023 to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a 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 January 2023.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s results of operations and 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 the Company’s control. The Company’s 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 the Ukraine. The Company 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 the Company’s ability to complete an initial Business Combination.

Management is continuing to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company's financial position, results of its operations 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.
