Note 4 — Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On December 31, 2020, the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for certain expenses on behalf of the Company in exchange for issuance of 14,375,000 Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”). In January 2021, the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 120,000 Founder Shares to the independent directors, 30,000 Founder Shares to an officer of the Company and 30,000 Founder Shares to the Company’s special advisor. The Sponsor agreed to forfeit up to an aggregate of 1,875,000 Founder Shares to the extent that the option to purchase additional Units was not exercised in full by the underwriters, so that the Founder Shares would represent 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. On February 25, 2021, the underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option; thus, these 1,875,000 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.

The Initial Shareholders agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (A) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination or earlier if, subsequent to the initial Business Combination, the closing price of Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, capitalization of shares, share dividends, rights issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, and (B) the date following the completion of the initial Business Combination on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.

On February 2, 2023, pursuant to Section 1 of the Securities Assignment Agreement, the Sponsor repurchased 21,000 Founder Shares, at a price of $0.002, which were previously sold to Barbara Byrne pursuant to that certain Securities Assignment Agreement dated January 31, 2021, among the Sponsor and Barbara Byrne, which provided the Sponsor with an option to repurchase Founder Shares upon Barbara Byrne’s resignation from the board of directors prior to vesting, at the original purchase price (approximately $0.002 per share) paid by Barbara Byrne. The Sponsor subsequently sold 10,000 Founder Shares, at a price of $1.00 per share, to Alex Zyngier in connection with Mr. Zyngier’s appointment to the board or $10,000 (the “Purchase Price”).

On April 25, 2023, pursuant to Section 1 of the Securities Assignment Agreement, the Sponsor repurchased 5,000 Founder Shares, at a price of $1.00, which were previously sold to Ann Berry pursuant to that certain Securities Assignment Agreement dated March 11, 2022, among the Sponsor and Ann Berry, which provided the Sponsor with an option to repurchase Founder Shares upon Ann Berry’s resignation from the board of directors prior to vesting, at the original purchase price (approximately $1.00 per share) paid by Ann Berry. The Sponsor subsequently sold 10,000 Founder Shares, at a price of $1.00 per share, to Lisa Harrington in connection with Mrs. Harrington’s appointment to the board, or $10,000(the “Purchase Price”).

The sale of Founders Shares to an independent director, as described above, is within the scope of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, share-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date. The Founders Shares were effectively transferred subject to a performance condition (i.e., the occurrence of a Business Combination). Compensation expense related to the Founders Shares is recognized only when the performance condition is probable of occurrence under the applicable accounting literature in this circumstance. A Business Combination is not probable until it is completed. Share-based compensation would be recognized at the date a Business Combination is considered probable in an amount equal to the number of Founders Shares times the grant date fair value per share (unless subsequently modified) less the Purchase Price initially received for the purchase of the Founders Shares. As of September 30, 2023, the Company determined that a Business Combination is not considered probable, and, therefore, no share-based compensation expense has been recognized.

Private Placement Warrants

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 11,333,333 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant with the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $17.0 million.

Each whole Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one whole Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable except as described below in Note 7 and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

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

Promissory Notes

On December 31, 2020, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 to be used for the payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). The Note was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Company borrowed approximately $196,000 under the Note and repaid the Note in full on February 25, 2021. Subsequent to the repayment, the facility was no longer available to the Company.

On February 21, 2023, the Company issued the New Note in the total principal amount of up to $10,447,000 to the Sponsor. The Sponsor funded the initial principal amount of $3,247,000 on February 23, 2023. The Sponsor funded an additional amount of $800,000 on May 23, 2023, June 22, 2023, July 21, 2023, August 22, 2023, and September 21, 2023 into the Trust Account. The extension on September 21, 2023 is the fifth of nine one-month extensions permitted under the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. The New Note does not bear interest and matures upon closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination. In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination, the New Note will be repaid only from amounts remaining outside of the Trust Account, if any. The New Note was issued in connection with advances the payee has made, and may make in the future, to the Company for expenses incurred by the Company and reasonably related to working capital purposes. The New Note bears no interest and is due and payable upon the consummation of the Company’s initial merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, involving the Company and one or more businesses. In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination, the New Note will be repaid only from amounts, if any, remaining outside of the Trust Account established in connection with the initial public offering of the Company’s securities. As of September 30, 2023, there was $7,247,000 outstanding under the New Note.

On May 26, 2023, the Company issued the May 2023 Note in the principal amount of $700,000. The May 2023 Note does not bear interest and is repayable in full upon consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, the May 2023 Note shall not be repaid and all amounts owed under it will be forgiven. The May 2023 Note is subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of which automatically trigger the unpaid principal balance of the May 2023 Note and all other sums payable with regard to the May 2023 Note becoming immediately due and payable. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were amounts of $700,000 and $0, respectively, outstanding under the May 2023 Note.

On August 18, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $800,000 (the “August 2023 Note”). The August 2023 Note does not bear interest and is repayable in full upon consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were amounts of $800,000 and $0, respectively, outstanding under the August 2023 Note.

Working Capital Loans

In addition, in order to fund working capital deficiencies or 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 may repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans may be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the 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. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lenders’ discretion, up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. 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.

On November 30, 2021, April 6, 2022, May 31, 2022, August 31, 2022, and December 28, 2022, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company $400,000, $150,000, $120,000, $150,000 and $654,000, respectively, in Working Capital Loans. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had borrowed $1,474,000 under the Working Capital Loans.

Administrative Support Agreement

Commencing on the date that the Company’s securities were first listed on Nasdaq through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and its liquidation, the Company agreed to pay the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial, administrative and shared personnel support services provided to members of the Management, pursuant to an administrative support agreement. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred expenses of $30,000 and $90,000 under this agreement, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred expenses of $30,000 and $90,000 under this agreement, respectively. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had a $120,000 and $30,000 balance outstanding for services in connection with such agreement on the accompanying condensed balance sheets, respectively.

In addition, the Sponsor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on the Company’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable Business Combinations. The audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by the Company to the Sponsor, officers or directors, or the Company’s or their affiliates. Any such payments prior to an initial Business Combination will be made from funds held outside the Trust Account.
