The warrants, Working Capital Loans, the Extension Note, the Capital Contribution Note and the October 2023 Subscription Agreement are accounted for as liabilities   in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liabilities, Working Capital Loans, Convertible Promissory Note, Capital Contribution Note and Derivative Liability — Note Payable, respectively, in the accompanying balance sheets. The warrant liabilities, Working Capital Loans, Convertible Promissory Note, Capital Contribution Note and Derivative Liability — Note Payable are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented in the statements of operations. The excess of proceeds over fair value at issuance was recorded as additional paid-in capital in the accompanying statements of shareholders’ equity. The excess of fair value over proceeds at issuance was recorded as expenses in the accompanying statement of operations.

 

Warrant Liability

 

The Company’s public and private warrant liabilities were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation at issuance date utilizing management judgment and pricing inputs from the quoted underlying ordinary shares. Significant deviations from these estimates and inputs could result in a material change in fair value. The fair value of the public and private warrant liabilities was initially classified as Level 3.

 

On November 4, 2022, the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) notified the Company, and publicly announced, that the NYSE determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s warrants, each whole warrant exercisable for one Class A ordinary share and listed to trade on the NYSE under the symbol “CHAA WS”, from the NYSE and that trading in the warrants would be suspended immediately, due to “abnormally low” trading price levels pursuant to Section 802.01D of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. The public warrants began to trade over-the counter (OTC) since then.

 

On March 23, 2023, the Company received approval to transfer the listing of Class A ordinary shares from the NYSE to the NYSE American and on March 28, 2023, the Class A ordinary shares began trading on the NYSE American under the symbol “CHAA”. In connection with the transfer, effective March 28, 2023, any remaining units were mandatorily separated into their component parts and the units are no longer traded on the NYSE.

 

The fair value of the public warrant liability was classified as Level 1 as of December 31, 2022 due to it publicly trading on NYSE. As of December 31, 2023, the fair value of the public warrant liability was re-classified as Level 2 due to the insufficient trading volume.

 

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Private Placement Warrants were valued using a Monte Carlo model using the quoted underlying public warrants. Due to the observable inputs in the fair value estimation of the Private Placement Warrants, these inputs were classified as Level 2 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

 

The key inputs used in the Monte Carlo simulation for the Private Placement Warrants as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:

Capital Contribution Note

 

Valuation of the Capital Contribution Note was determined using a Probability Weighted Expected Return Method (“PWERM”) and classified as a Level 3 valuation. The PWERM is a multistep process in which value is estimated based on the probability -weighted present value of various future outcomes. The key inputs or weighted average inputs, as applicable, for PWERM at December 31, 2023 and the initial draw dates of March 24, 2023 and May 24, 2023 were as follows:

Derivative Liability — Note Payable

 

Valuation of the Derivative Liability — Note Payable was determined using a Black -Scholes model with the remaining term, associated risk -free rate, share price, comparable guideline company volatility and no expected dividends. The key inputs for Black -Scholes model at the initial draw date of October 25, 2023 and December 31, 2023 were as follows:

 

Input  December 31,
2023
   October 25, 2023
