PERFECT CORP.
On September 30, 2022, Provident Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability (“Provident” or “PAQC”), filed and commenced mailing its definitive proxy statement related to the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders to be held on October 25, 2022 to consider and vote upon, among other things, the approval of its previously announced proposed business combination (the “Business Combination”) with Perfect Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability (the “Company” or “Perfect”). Capitalized terms used in this Supplement No.1 to the definitive proxy statement/prospectus (this “Supplement No. 1”) and not otherwise defined have the meaning given to them in the definitive proxy statement/prospectus.
This Supplement No. 1 updates, amends and supplements the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, which forms a part of Perfect’s registration statement on Form F-4 (File No. 333-263841) relating to the issuance of 28,415,000 Class A ordinary shares of Perfect (“Perfect Class A Ordinary Shares”), 18,100,000 redeemable warrants of Perfect, and 18,100,000 Perfect Class A Ordinary Shares underlying redeemable warrants in connection with the Business Combination.
This Supplement No. 1 was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 24, 2022 and accordingly made available to all shareholders of Provident or the same day. To the extent information in this Supplement No. 1 differs from, updates or conflicts with information contained in the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, the information in this Supplement No. 1 is the more current information. This Supplement No. 1 is not complete without, and should not be delivered or utilized, except in conjunction with the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, including any supplements and amendments thereto. You should read this Supplement No. 1 in conjunction with the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, including any supplements and amendments thereto.
Investing in our securities involves risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 60 of the definitive proxy statement/prospectus.
Each of Provident and Perfect is an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 and has elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements.
Perfect is also a “foreign private issuer,” as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and will be exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act that impose certain disclosure obligations and procedural requirements for proxy solicitations under Section 14 of the Exchange Act. In addition, Perfect’s officers, directors and principal shareholders will be exempt from the reporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Moreover, Perfect will not be required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act.
Neither the SEC nor any state securities regulatory agency has approved or disapproved the transactions described in the definitive proxy statement/prospectus or any of the securities to be issued in connection with the Proposed Transactions described in the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, passed upon the merits or fairness of the Proposed Transactions described in the proxy statement/prospectus or related transactions or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of the disclosure in the proxy statement/prospectus. Any representation to the contrary constitutes a criminal offense.
The date of this prospectus supplement is October 24, 2022.

 
This Supplement No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, which should be read carefully and in its entirety.
SUPPLEMENT NO. 1 TO THE DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS
1.
The definition of “Illustrative Redemption Scenario” on page 3 of the definitive proxy statement/prospectus is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
“Illustrative Redemption Scenario” means the scenario in which the Public Shareholders exercise rights to redeem 21,033,084 Provident Class A Ordinary Shares, which represent the estimated maximum level of redemption that could occur without a failure to satisfy the Minimum Available Cash Condition under the terms of the Proposed Transactions (assuming the closing of the FPA Investment and the PIPE Investment), and represent approximately 91.45% of the total 23,000,000 Provident Class A Ordinary Shares that are subject to redemption right. On October 22, 2022, Perfect and Acquisition Entities have executed and delivered a waiver letter to Provident, waiving the Minimum Available Cash Condition to the extent that the Minimum Available Cash Condition would fail to be satisfied at the Closing.
2.
The definition of “Intermediate Redemption Scenario” on page 3 of the definitive proxy statement/prospectus is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
“Intermediate Redemption Scenario” means the scenario in which the Public Shareholders exercise rights to redeem 10,516,542 Provident Class A Ordinary Shares, which represent 50% of the number of Provident Class A Ordinary Shares redeemed under the Illustrative Redemption Scenario, and represent approximately 45.72% of the total 23,000,000 Provident Class A Ordinary Shares that are subject to redemption right.
3.
Certain definition is hereby added to page 6 of the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, immediately after the definition of “Registration Rights Agreement”:
“Requested Redemptions Scenario” means the scenario in which the Public Shareholders exercise rights to redeem 21,651,203 Provident Class A Ordinary Shares, which represent the level of redemption requested as of 5:00 pm Eastern Time on October 21, 2022, the deadline for Public Shareholders to exercise their redemption rights, and represent approximately 94.14% of the total 23,000,000 Provident Class A Ordinary Shares that are subject to redemption right. The Requested Redemptions Scenario represents the maximum level of redemption that could occur, taking into account of the Company’s waiver of the Minimum Available Cash Condition. The final level of redemption could be lower if some requests for redemption are withdrawn prior to the time the vote is taken with respect to the Business Combination Proposal at the Meeting.
4.
Certain disclosure on pages 16 to 19 of the definitive proxy statement/prospectus is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
Q. What equity stake will current Provident shareholders, the FPA Investors, the PIPE Investors and the current Perfect shareholders have in Perfect after the Proposed Transactions?
A. It is anticipated that, upon completion of the Business Combination and assuming no dilution from any of the Perfect Warrants, the Perfect Ordinary Shares issuable under the Perfect Incentive Plan, the Shareholder Earnout Shares or the Sponsor Earnout Promote Shares (the “Additional Dilution Sources”), the share ownership of Perfect immediately post-Closing would be as set forth in the sensitivity table below under the No Redemption Scenario, the Intermediate Redemption Scenario, the Illustrative Redemption Scenario, and the Requested Redemptions Scenario. For the avoidance of doubt, the Public Shareholders have the option and ability to elect for the redemption of all 23,000,000 Public Shares. However, in the event that all 23,000,000 Public Shares are redeemed, the Minimum Available Cash Condition cannot be satisfied unless Provident secures additional financing to make the Available Cash equal to or exceed $125,000,000. The Minimum Available Cash Condition is for the benefit of Perfect and Acquisition Entities and, as a result, Perfect and Acquisition
 
1

 
Entities have the sole right to waive the Minimum Available Cash Condition and, subject to satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions, to cause the Closing to occur even if the Minimum Available Cash Condition is not satisfied. On October 22, 2022, Perfect and Acquisition Entities have executed and delivered a waiver letter to Provident, waiving the Minimum Available Cash Condition to the extent that the Minimum Available Cash Condition would fail to be satisfied at the Closing.
As a result of the respective redemption amounts under the scenarios described above and the implied $10.00 per share value of the Perfect Shares immediately after the Closing, the implied total equity value of Perfect (as the combined company after the consummation of the Business Combination) would be $1,399,149,980 in the No Redemption Scenario, $1,293,984,560 in the Intermediate Redemption Scenario, $1,188,819,140 in the Illustrative Redemption Scenario, and $1,182,637,950 in the Requested Redemptions Scenario. In addition, the underwriter of the Provident IPO would otherwise be entitled to receive an aggregate of $8.05 million deferred underwriting compensation when and if the Business Combination is completed the (“Deferred Discount”), which would otherwise render the effective deferred underwriting fee for the shares of non-redeeming Public Shareholders to be 3.5% under the No Redemption Scenario, 6.4% under the Intermediate Redemption Scenario, 40.9% under the Illustrative Redemption Scenario and 59.7% under the Requested Redemptions Scenario (assuming the Closing can occur), on a percentage basis. However, in a mutual termination letter between Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citi”) and Provident, Citi gratuitously, and without any consideration from Provident, waived its claim to the Deferred Discount that it would have been entitled to receive. See “Q. What is the effective underwriting fee that will be received by the Underwriter for the Provident IPO”, “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Mutual Termination of Citi’s Engagements” and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Provident and the Proposed Transactions — Citi’s engagements as a co-placement agent and co-capital markets advisor to Provident in connection with the Business Combination have been mutually terminated, and Citi has gratuitously waived its deferred discount and other fees. Citi is not to be associated with the disclosure in this proxy statement/ prospectus or the underlying business or financial analysis related to the Business Combination, and there can be no assurances that Citi agrees with such disclosure or analysis and no inference can be drawn to this effect.”

The calculation of the percentage of shares with respect to each Additional Dilution Source includes the full amount of shares issuable with respect to such Additional Dilution Source (but not the other Additional Dilution Sources) in both the numerator and denominator. For example, in the No Redemption Scenario, the percentage of shares with respect to the Additional Dilution Source of the Perfect Warrants would be calculated as follows: (a) 20,850,000 Perfect Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the Perfect Warrants; divided by (b) the sum of (i) 139,914,998 Perfect Shares outstanding upon completion of the Business Combination under the No Redemption Scenario before taking into account any Additional Dilution Source, plus (ii) 20,850,000 Perfect Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the Perfect Warrants.

This row assumes exercise of all Perfect Warrants for cash. Represents (i) 11,500,000 Perfect Warrants to be exchanged from 11,500,000 Public Warrants, (ii) 6,600,000 Perfect Warrants to be exchanged from 6,600,000 Private Placement Warrants, and (iii) 2,750,000 Perfect Warrants to be exchanged from 2,750,000 Forward Purchase Warrants, in each case, in connection with the Business Combination. Immediately prior to the Business Combination, Provident will have 11,500,000 Public Warrants outstanding, irrespective of the number of Provident Public Shareholders who exercise their redemption rights, and all such 11,500,000 Public Warrants will be exchanged for Perfect Warrants on a one-to-one basis at the Closing. Based on the closing price of the Public Warrants on Nasdaq of $0.22 on September 29, 2022, the 11,500,000 Public Warrants have an aggregate value of $2,530,000.
(3)
This row assumes exercise of all awards under Perfect Incentive Plan on a cash basis and all awards are earned and settled in Perfect Class A Ordinary Shares.
(4)
This row assumes all 10,000,000 Shareholder Earnout Shares are issued to respective shareholders of Perfect.
(5)
This row assumes all 1,175,624 Sponsor Earnout Promote Shares are issued to the Sponsor.
(6)
This row assumes the issuance of all Perfect Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with each of the Additional Dilution Sources, as described in Notes 2 through 5 above. Due to the calculation formula as illustrated in Note 1 above, the percentage of the total Additional Dilution Sources is not equal to the sum of the percentage of each Additional Dilution Source.
The share amounts and ownership percentages set forth in the two tables above are not indicative of voting percentages. Perfect will only proceed with the Business Combination if (a) Merger Sub 2 (as the surviving company of the Mergers) will have net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon consummation of the Business Combination and (b) the Minimum Available Cash Condition is either satisfied or waived. On October 22, 2022, Perfect and Acquisition Entities have executed and delivered a waiver letter to Provident, waiving the Minimum Available Cash Condition to the extent that the Minimum Available Cash Condition would fail to be satisfied at the Closing. If the actual facts are different than the assumptions set forth above, the share amounts and percentage ownership numbers set forth above will be different.
Provident’s public shareholders who redeem their Provident Class A Ordinary Shares may continue to hold any Public Warrants they own, which results in additional dilution to non-redeeming holders upon exercise of the Public Warrants. For details of the potential risks, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Perfect Class A Ordinary Shares and the Perfect Warrants — Provident’s public shareholders who redeem their Provident Class A Ordinary Shares may continue to hold any Public Warrants they own, which results in additional dilution to non-redeeming holders upon exercise of the Public Warrants.”
Q. What voting power will current Provident shareholders, the FPA Investors, the PIPE Investors and the current Perfect shareholders have in Perfect after the Proposed Transactions?
A. It is anticipated that, upon completion of the Business Combination, the voting power in Perfect will be as set forth in the table below (without taking into account any Additional Dilution Source):

Certain disclosure on pages 42 and 43 of the definitive proxy statement/prospectus is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
Conditions to Closing
The obligations of Provident, Perfect, Merger Sub 1 and Merger Sub 2 to consummate the Business Combination is conditioned upon, among other things: (i) receipt of the required approval by the Provident shareholders; (ii) receipt of the required approval by the Perfect shareholders; (iii) after giving effect to the Provident Shareholder Redemption, Merger Sub 2 (as the surviving company of the Mergers) having at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination; (iv) the absence of any law or governmental order enjoining, prohibiting or making illegal the consummation of the Business Combination; (v) the approval for listing of Perfect Class A Ordinary Shares and Perfect Warrants to be issued in connection with the Business Combination on the NYSE or Nasdaq immediately following the Closing; (vi) effectiveness of this registration statement in accordance with the Securities Act and the absence of any stop order issued by the SEC with respect to this registration statement; and (vii) completion of the Recapitalization in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement.
The obligations of Perfect, Merger Sub 1 and Merger Sub 2 to consummate the Business Combination are also conditioned upon, among other things: (i) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Provident (subject to certain materiality standards set forth in the Business Combination Agreement); (ii) material compliance by Provident with its pre-closing covenants; (iii) the Minimum Available Cash Condition; and (iv) the absence of any event since the date of the Business Combination Agreement that has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the ability of Provident to timely consummate the Business Combination. On October 22, 2022, Perfect and Acquisition Entities have executed and delivered a waiver letter to Provident, waiving the Minimum Available Cash Condition to the extent that the Minimum Available Cash Condition would fail to be satisfied at the Closing.
The obligations of Provident to consummate the Business Combination are also conditioned upon, among other things: (i) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Perfect (subject to certain materiality standards set forth in the Business Combination Agreement); (ii) material compliance by Perfect with its pre-closing covenants; and (iii) the absence of any event since the date of the Business Combination Agreement that has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations or financial condition of Perfect and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement).
For a summary of all of the conditions that must be satisfied or waived prior to completion of the Business Combination, see the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Business Combination Agreement”.

6.
Certain disclosure on page 54 and 55 of the definitive proxy statement/prospectus is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
Anticipated Accounting Treatment
The Business Combination will be accounted for as a capital reorganization. Under this method of accounting, Provident will be treated as the accounting acquiree for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Perfect issuing shares at the Closing for the net assets of Provident as of the Closing Date, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Provident will be stated as historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.
Perfect has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on the evaluation of the following facts and circumstances under each of the No Redemption Scenario, the Illustrative Redemption Scenario and the Requested Redemptions Scenario:

the former owners of Perfect will hold the largest portion of voting rights in the combined company;

Perfect has the right to appoint a majority of the directors in the combined company;

Perfect’s existing senior management team will comprise a majority of management of the combined company;

the operations of Perfect will represent the ongoing operations of the combined company; and

Perfect is the larger one of the combining entities based on the fair value, assets, revenues and profits/losses.
The Business Combination is not within the scope of IFRS 3 — Business Combination, since Provident does not meet the definition of a business. The Business Combination will be accounted for within the scope of IFRS 2 — Share-based Payments. As a result, any excess of fair value of Perfect Ordinary Shares issued over the fair value of Provident’s identifiable net assets acquired represent compensation for the service in respect of a stock exchange listing for Perfect Securities and is expensed upon consummation. The stock exchange listing expense is further increased for the estimated fair value of the Sponsor Earnout Promote Shares issuable upon satisfaction of certain conditions specified in the Sponsor Letter Agreement and is reduced for the estimated fair value of the Shareholder Earnout Shares issuable upon satisfaction of certain conditions specified in the Business Combination Agreement.
7.
Certain disclosure is hereby added to page 57 of the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, immediately before the subsection titled “Summary of Risk Factors”:
Waiver of the Minimum Available Cash Condition
On October 22, 2022, Perfect and Acquisition Entities have executed and delivered a waiver letter to Provident, waiving the Minimum Available Cash Condition to the extent that the Minimum Available Cash Condition would fail to be satisfied at the Closing.
8.
Certain disclosure on page 70 of the definitive proxy statement/prospectus is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
We may require additional capital to support our operations and the growth of our business, and we cannot be certain that financing will be available on reasonable terms when required, or at all.
We may need additional financing from time to time to operate or grow our business. For example, Perfect’s capital budget assumes, among others, that (i) the Minimum Available Cash Condition will be satisfied, which is a condition that Perfect has discretion to waive if not satisfied, and (ii) Perfect’s development timeline progresses as planned and corresponding expenditures are consistent with current expectations, both of which are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described in this prospectus/ proxy statement. If the Minimum Available Cash Condition cannot be met by Provident and is waived by Perfect and Acquisition Entities, our ability to continue operations in full as planned and continue as a going concern may be significantly limited without obtaining additional financing. On October 22, 2022, Perfect
 
6

 
and Acquisition Entities have executed and delivered a waiver letter to Provident, waiving the Minimum Available Cash Condition to the extent that the Minimum Available Cash Condition would fail to be satisfied at the Closing.
Our ability to obtain additional financing, if and when required, will depend on investor and lender demand, our operating performance, the condition of the capital markets and other factors, and we cannot assure you that additional financing will be available to us on favorable terms, or at all. If we incur additional debt, including drawing on our credit facility, the debt holders would have rights senior to holders of our ordinary shares to make claims on our assets. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities, our existing shareholders will experience dilution and those new securities may have rights, preference or privileges senior to those of our ordinary shares. If adequate financing is not available on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to continue to support the operation and growth of our business could be significantly impaired and our operating results may be adversely affected.
9.
Certain disclosure on page 93 of the definitive proxy statement/prospectus is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
Provident’s public shareholders who redeem their Provident Class A Ordinary Shares may continue to hold any Public Warrants they own, which results in additional dilution to non-redeeming holders upon exercise of the Public Warrants.
Provident’s public shareholders who redeem their Provident Class A Ordinary Shares may continue to hold any public warrants they owned prior to redemption, which results in additional dilution to non- redeeming holders upon exercise of such public warrants. Assuming all redeeming public shareholders acquired Units in the Initial Public Offering and continue to hold the Public Warrants that were included in the Units, under each of the Illustrative Redemption Scenario and Requested Redemptions Scenario, 11,500,000 Public Warrants would be retained by redeeming public shareholders with a market value of $2,760,000, based on the closing price of $0.24 of the Public Warrants as of September 15, 2022. As a result, the redeeming public shareholders would recoup their entire investment and continue to hold Public Warrants with an aggregate market value of $2,760,000, while non-redeeming public shareholders would suffer additional dilution in their percentage ownership and voting interest of Perfect post-closing upon exercise of the Public Warrants held by redeeming public shareholders.

Certain disclosure on page 96 of the definitive proxy statement/prospectus is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
If the PIPE Investment or the FPA Investment is not consummated and Perfect and Acquisition Entities do not waive the Minimum Available Cash Condition, the Business Combination may be terminated.
The Business Combination Agreement provides that the obligations of Perfect and Acquisition Entities to consummate the Mergers is subject to the satisfaction of the condition that the funds contained in Provident’s Trust Account (after giving effect to Provident Shareholder Redemption), together with the aggregate amount of proceeds from PIPE Investment and FPA Investment are equal to or exceeds $125,000,000. While the amount in the Trust Account before Provident Shareholder Redemption well exceeds $125,000,000, and the PIPE Investors and the FPA Investors have entered into agreements to purchase an aggregate of 10,500,000 Provident Class A Ordinary Shares for $105,000,000 immediately prior to the Closing, there can be no assurance that (i) such PIPE Investors and the FPA Investors will perform their obligations under executed agreements, or (ii) the amount in the Trust Account (after giving effect to Provident Shareholder Redemption), together with the aggregate amount of proceeds from PIPE Investment and FPA Investment, would be at least $125,000,000. If the Minimum Available Cash Condition is not met by Provident and not waived by Perfect and Acquisition Entities, the Business Combination may be terminated. On October 22, 2022, Perfect and Acquisition Entities have executed and delivered a waiver letter to Provident, waiving the Minimum Available Cash Condition to the extent that the Minimum Available Cash Condition would fail to be satisfied at the Closing.

Anticipated Accounting Treatment
The Business Combination will be accounted for as a capital reorganization. Under this method of accounting, Provident will be treated as the accounting acquiree for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Perfect issuing shares at the Closing for the net assets of Provident as of the Closing Date, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Provident will be stated as historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.
Perfect has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on the evaluation of the following facts and circumstances under each of the No Redemption Scenario, the Illustrative Redemption Scenario and the Requested Redemptions Scenario:
 
9

 

the former owners of Perfect will hold the largest portion of voting rights in the combined company;

Perfect has the right to appoint a majority of the directors in the combined company;

Perfect’s existing senior management team will comprise a majority of management of the combined company;

the operations of Perfect will represent the ongoing operations of the combined company; and

Perfect is the larger one of the combining entities based on fair value, assets, revenues and profits/ losses.
The Business Combination is not within the scope of IFRS 3 — Business Combination, since Provident does not meet the definition of a business. The Business Combination will be accounted for within the scope of IFRS 2 — Share-based Payments. As a result, any excess of fair value of Perfect Ordinary Shares issued over the fair value of Provident’s identifiable net assets represent compensation for the service in respect of a stock exchange listing for Perfect Securities and is expensed upon consummation. The stock exchange listing expense is further increased for the estimated fair value of the Sponsor Earnout Promote Shares issuable upon satisfaction of certain conditions specified in the Sponsor Letter Agreement and is reduced for the estimated fair value of the Shareholder Earnout Shares issuable upon satisfaction of certain conditions specified in the Business Combination Agreement.

The disclosure under the section titled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” on pages 185 to 206 of the definitive proxy statement/prospectus is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Defined terms included below have the same meaning as terms defined and included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.
Introduction
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements present the combination of the historical financial information of Perfect and Provident, adjusted to give effect to the Business Combination and related transactions and has been prepared for informational purposes only.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 combines the unaudited historical balance sheet of Provident as of June 30, 2022 with the unaudited historical balance sheet of Perfect as of June 30, 2022, giving effect to the Business Combination, the Sponsor Earnout Promote Shares (as discussed in the section titled “— Accounting for the Business Combination” below), Shareholder Earnout Shares (as discussed in the section titled “— Accounting for the Business Combination” below), Forward Purchase Shares and Forward Purchase Warrants and the assumed issuance of shares to the PIPE Investors, as if they had been consummated as of that date. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operation for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021 combine the historical statement of operation of Provident and the condensed statement of operation of Perfect for such periods on a pro forma basis, giving effect to the Business Combination, the Sponsor Earnout Promote Shares, Shareholder Earnout Shares, Forward Purchase Shares and Forward Purchase Warrants and the assumed issuance of shares to the PIPE Investors, as if they had been completed on January 1, 2021, the beginning of the earliest period presented.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements give pro forma effect for transaction accounting adjustments for the merger.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information assumes that the warrant liability, which may be exercised no earlier than thirty (30) days after the Business Combination, will be accounted for as liabilities in accordance with IAS 32 following consummation of the Business Combination and, accordingly, would be subject to ongoing mark-to-market adjustments through the statement of operations.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not necessarily reflect what the combined company’s financial condition or results of operations would have been had the Business
 
10

 
Combination occurred on the dates indicated. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of the combined company. The unaudited pro forma adjustments represent management’s estimates based on information available as of the date of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and analyses are performed. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors. Such differences might include but are not limited to the estimated fair value of Perfect equity consideration, the estimated fair value of Sponsor Earnout Promote Shares and Shareholder Earnout Shares, and the exercise of redemption rights in respect of Public Shares.
This information should be read together with the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, Perfect’s and Provident’s unaudited financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 and related notes, the sections titled “Perfect’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Provident’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and other financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.
Accounting for the Business Combination
The Business Combination will be accounted for as a capital reorganization. Under this method of accounting, Provident will be treated as the accounting acquiree for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Perfect issuing shares at the closing of the Business Combination for the net assets of Provident as of the closing date, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Provident will be stated as historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.
Perfect has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on the evaluation of the following facts and circumstances under the requested redemption scenario:

The former owners of Perfect will hold the largest portion of voting rights in the Combined Company;

Perfect has the right to appoint a majority of the directors in the Combined Company;

Perfect’s existing senior management team will comprise a majority of management of the Combined Company;

The operations of Perfect will represent the ongoing operations of the Combined Company; and

Perfect is the larger one of the combining entities based on the fair value, assets, revenues and profits and losses.
The Business Combination is not within the scope of IFRS 3 — Business Combination, since Provident does not meet the definition of a business. The Business Combination will be accounted for within the scope of IFRS 2 — Share-based Payments. As a result, any excess of fair value of Perfect Ordinary Shares issued over the fair value of Provident’s identifiable net assets acquired represents compensation for the service in respect of a stock exchange listing for Perfect Securities and is expensed upon consummation. The stock exchange listing expense is further increased for the estimated fair value of the Sponsor Earnout Promote Shares issuable upon satisfaction of certain conditions specified in the Sponsor Letter Agreement and is reduced for the estimated fair value of the Shareholder Earnout Shares issuable upon satisfaction of certain conditions specified in the Business Combination Agreement.
For purposes of the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed financial information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, the fair value of Perfect Ordinary Shares has been estimated based on the market price of the Public Shares, which in turn has been assumed to already reflect a discount for the fair value of the Sponsor Earnout Promote Shares and the Shareholder Earnout Shares issuable upon satisfaction of certain conditions specified in the Sponsor Letter Agreement and the Business Combination Agreement, respectively. Accordingly, no separate adjustment has been recorded in the unaudited pro forma condensed financial information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus to further reduce the
 
11

 
estimated stock exchange listing expense for the estimated fair value of the Shareholder Earnout Shares, because such reduction is already assumed to be reflected in the publicly-quoted share price of Provident related to the Public Shares. However, a separate adjustment has been recorded in the unaudited pro forma condensed financial information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus to increase the stock exchange listing expense for the estimated fair value of the Sponsor Earnout Promote Shares, because the estimated fair value of those Sponsor Earnout Promote Shares is assumed to already be reflected as a reduction in the publicly-quoted share price of Provident related to the Public Shares that has been used to derive the fair value of the Perfect Ordinary Shares, while taking into consideration that those Sponsor Earnout Promote Shares represent additional consideration to be paid to the Sponsor in connection with the Business Combination that will not be paid to the Public Shareholders.
Basis of Pro Forma Presentation
Pursuant to Provident’s existing charter, Provident’s public shareholders were offered the opportunity to redeem, upon closing of the Business Combination, Provident Class A Ordinary Shares held by them for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements reflect the requested redemption of 21,651,203 shares of Provident Class A Ordinary Shares at approximately $10.014 per share, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account.

Note 1 — Description of the Business Combination
On March 3, 2022, Provident entered into a Business Combination Agreement with Perfect, Beauty Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Perfect (the “Merger Sub 1”), and Fashion Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Perfect (the “Merger Sub 2”). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, (a) Merger Sub 1 will merge with and into Provident (the “First Merger”), with Provident surviving the First Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Perfect (such company, as the surviving entity of the First Merger, the “First Merger Surviving Company, and (b) immediately following the First Merger and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, the Surviving Entity will merge with and into Merger Sub 2 (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with Merger Sub 2 surviving the Second Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Perfect (such company, as the surviving entity of the Second Merger, the “Second Merger Surviving Company”). As a result of the Mergers, and upon consummation of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination” and together with transactions contemplated by agreements, instruments and documents contemplated by the Business Combination Agreements, the “Proposed Transactions”), the shareholders of Provident will become shareholders of Perfect. After the completion of the Business Combination, Perfect’s shares and warrants are expected to trade on the NYSE under the ticker symbols “PERF” and “PERF WS,” respectively, and Perfect is expected to become a publicly listed company.
Shareholder Earnout Shares
The Business Combination Agreement provides that, from and after the Closing Date, as defined in the Business Combination Agreement, until the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Earnout Period”), Perfect may issue up to 10,000,000 Perfect Class A Ordinary Shares and Perfect Class B Ordinary Shares (the “Shareholder Earnout Shares”) to certain persons who are Perfect’s shareholders immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time (the “Shareholder Earnout Participants”) in accordance with each such Shareholder Earnout Participant’s Pro Rata Portion. Subject to the terms and conditions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, 3,000,000, 3,000,000 and 4,000,000 of the Shareholder Earnout Shares are issuable if over any 20 trading days within any 30-trading-day period during the Earnout Period when the daily volume-weighted average price of the Perfect Class A Ordinary Shares is greater than or equal to $11.50, $13.00 and $14.50, respectively (each, a “Shareholder Earnout Event”), provided that such Shareholder Earnout Participant holds more than 1% of the Company’s fully diluted share capital at the time of the applicable Shareholder Earnout Event. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information in this proxy statement/prospectus assumes that the fair value of the Shareholder Earnout Shares is already reflected in the publicly-quoted share price of Provident that has been used to derive the estimated fair value of Perfect Ordinary Shares. Accordingly, no additional pro forma adjustment to adjust for the fair value of the Shareholder Earnout Shares is considered necessary, because the estimated fair value of such shares is already presumed to be reflected in the fair value of the Perfect shares shown in Note 4(J) below.
FPA Investment
In connection with the Initial Public Offering of Provident, Provident and certain investors (the “FPA Investors”) entered into certain forward purchase agreements (each, a “Forward Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the FPA Investors agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and Provident agreed to issue and sell to such FPA Investors, collectively, 5,500,000 Provident Class A Ordinary Shares and 2,750,000 warrants to purchase Provident Class A Ordinary Shares in consideration for an aggregate purchase price of $55,000,000 (the “FPA Investment”).
PIPE
On March 3, 2022, the PIPE Investors entered into the Subscription Agreements pursuant to which the PIPE Investors have committed to subscribe for and purchase, and Perfect has agreed to issue and sell to the PIPE Investors, Perfect Class A Ordinary Shares at $10.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $50,000,000 (the “PIPE Investment”). Under the Subscription Agreements, the obligations of the parties to consummate the PIPE Investment are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions of the respective parties.

Waiver of Anti-Dilution Protection and Adjustment of Provident Class B Share Number
Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Perfect, Provident and Sponsor entered into a letter agreement (the “Sponsor Letter Agreement”). Under the Sponsor Letter Agreement, Sponsor, in its capacity as the holder of at least a majority of the Provident Class B Ordinary Shares in issue, has agreed to waive any anti-dilution adjustment to the conversion ratio between Provident Class B Ordinary Shares and Provident Class A Ordinary Shares that may result from the issuance of Provident Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with the PIPE Investment. However, such waiver does not cover any adjustment to the conversion ratio that may result from the closing of purchase of Provident Class A Ordinary Shares and Provident Warrants pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreements. In addition, to the extent that, after giving effect to the adjustment to the conversion ratio, the adjusted conversion ratio is less than the sum of (i) one plus (ii) the quotient of (a) the aggregate number of Provident Class A Ordinary Shares issued in the Forward Purchase Financing divided by (b) 23,000,000 (such sum, the “Target Conversion Ratio”), Perfect will issue, immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time but after the Recapitalization, to each holder of Provident Class B Ordinary Shares as of immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time such number of Perfect Class A Ordinary Shares that would make the total number of Perfect Class A Ordinary Shares held by such holder immediately after the First Merger Effective Time equal to an amount that such holder would hold if the Provident Class B Ordinary Shares had been converted into Provident Class A Ordinary Shares at the Target Conversion Ratio immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time.
Sponsor Earnout Promote Shares
The Sponsor Letter Agreement also provides that 25.90333% of the Perfect Class A Ordinary Shares held by Sponsor as of immediately after the First Merger Effective Time (the “Forfeited Shares”) will be forfeited and cancelled for no consideration immediately after, and contingent upon, the Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions contemplated by the Sponsor Letter Agreement, upon the occurrence of a Sponsor Earnout Event (as defined below) during the Earnout Period, Perfect will issue Perfect Class A Ordinary Shares of up to an aggregate number equal to 68.74994% of the amount of the Forfeited Shares (the “Sponsor Earnout Promote Shares”) to Sponsor, with (i) 50% of the Sponsor Earnout Promote Shares issuable if over any 20 trading days within any 30-trading-day period during the Earnout Period the daily volume-weighted average price of the Perfect Class A Ordinary Shares is greater than or equal to $11.50, and (ii) 50% of the Sponsor Earnout Promote Shares issuable over any twenty (20) trading days within any thirty (30)-trading-day period during the Earnout Period the daily volume-weighted average price of the Perfect Class A Ordinary Shares is greater than or equal to $13.00 (each, a “Sponsor Earnout Event”). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information in this proxy statement/prospectus assumes that the fair value of the Sponsor Earnout Promote Shares is reflected in the publicly-quoted share price of Provident that has been used to derive the estimated fair value of Perfect Ordinary Shares. A separate adjustment has been recorded in these pro forma financial statements to increase the estimated stock exchange listing expense for the Sponsor Earnout Promote Shares, because the estimated fair value of those Sponsor Earnout Promote Shares is assumed to already be reflected as a reduction in the publicly-quoted share price of Provident related to the Public Shares that has been used to derive the fair value of the Perfect Ordinary Shares, yet those Sponsor Earnout Promote Shares represent additional consideration to be paid to the Sponsor in connection with the Business Combination that will not be paid to the Public Shareholders. See Note 4(K) and 4(DD) below.
The following summarizes the unaudited pro forma Perfect Ordinary Shares outstanding, as of June 30, 2022, under the requested redemption scenario:

(1)
Assuming 5,500,000 Forward Purchase Shares will be issued, holders of 5,750,000 Provident Class B Ordinary Shares will receive 7,125,000 Perfect Class A Ordinary Shares upon the First Merger and after giving effect to the share surrender by Sponsor, will hold 5,415,000 Perfect Class A Ordinary Shares Excludes any potential Sponsor Earnout Promote Shares, as such shares are not issued and outstanding at Closing.
(2)
The shares consist of Perfect Ordinary Shares, Perfect Series A, Series A-1, Series B, Series C-1, and Series C-2 Preferred Shares (the “Perfect Preferred Shares”), and exercise of Perfect Incentive Plan. Excludes any potential Shareholder Earnout Shares, as such shares are not issued and outstanding at Closing.
The above share amounts and ownership percentages have been calculated based on the following assumptions:

Immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time, each issued and outstanding Provident Class B Ordinary will be automatically converted into a number of Provident Class A Ordinary Shares in accordance with the conversion ratio provided under Provident’s Articles (the “Conversion Ratio”). At the First Merger Effective Time, each issued and outstanding Provident Class A Ordinary Share other than Provident Dissenting Shares will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive one Perfect Class A Ordinary Share. In addition, pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement, (i) if the Conversion Ratio is less than the sum of (I) one plus (II) the quotient of (A) the Forward Purchase Shares divided by (B) 23,000,000 (the “Target Conversion Ratio”), Perfect will issue additional Perfect Class A Ordinary Shares to the former holders of Provident Class B Ordinary Shares to make the total number of Perfect Class A Ordinary Shares held by each such holder immediately after the First Merger Effective Time equal to an amount that such holder would hold had the Provident Class B Ordinary Shares been converted into Provident Class A Ordinary Shares at the Target Conversion Ratio, and (ii) 25.90333% of the Perfect Class A Ordinary Shares held by the Sponsor as of immediately after the First Merger Effective Time (after the share issuance described in the foregoing (i)) will be surrendered and cancelled. Assuming 5,500,000 Forward Purchase Shares will be issued, the holders of 5,750,000 Provident Class B Ordinary Shares will receive 7,125,000 Perfect Class A Ordinary Shares upon the First Merger and the share issuance described in the preceding sentence and will hold 5,415,000 Perfect Class A Ordinary Shares after giving effect to the share surrender described in the proceeding sentence.

Immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time, each Perfect Common Share and Perfect Preferred Share outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time, will be automatically converted into a number of Perfect Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the Combination Factor, which is 0.17704366.
