Founder Shares

On January 4, 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000 to cover for certain expenses on behalf of the Company in exchange for issuance of 3,737,500 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 (the “Founder Shares”). In February 2021, the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 90,000 Founder Shares to the Company’s independent directors. The Sponsor agreed to forfeit up to 487,500 Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriters, so that the Founder Shares would represent 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares (excluding the Private Placement Shares) after the Initial Public Offering. The underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option on March 2, 2021; thus, these 487,500 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.

The initial shareholders agreed, subject to limited exceptions, 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 and (B) subsequent to the initial Business Combination, (x) if the closing price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, 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, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Public Shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. For more information on how the transfer restrictions will be amended in connection with the Proposed Adagio Business Combination (as defined below) and the execution of the Investor Rights Agreement (as defined below), also see Note 5.

Private Placement Shares

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 499,000 Private Placement Shares, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $5.0 million.

The Private Placement Shares are not transferable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination. Certain proceeds from the Private Placement Shares have been added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account.

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 Shares until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination.

Related Party Loans

On March 2, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover for expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”) and the Company subsequently reclassified the outstanding amount due to the Sponsor as borrowing under the Note. This loan was non-interest bearing and payable upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Company borrowed approximately $161,000 under the Note and fully repaid the Note upon closing of the Initial Public Offering. Subsequent to the repayment, the loan facility was no longer available to the Company.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, affiliates of the Sponsor, or 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 any Working Capital Loans that may have been extended to the Company by the Sponsor, affiliates of the Sponsor, or the Company’s officers and directors 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 any Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay such Working Capital Loans. Except for the terms of the First Convertible Promissory Note, the Second Convertible Promissory Note, the Third Promissory Note and the Fourth Convertible Promissory Note, each as further described below, the terms of such Working Capital Loans have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to any other loans between the Company and the Sponsor, affiliates of the Sponsor, or the Company’s officers and directors. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon the 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 shares of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per share. The shares would be identical to the Private Placement Shares. Except as described below, as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no other outstanding borrowings under Working Capital Loans.

On November 7, 2022, the Company issued an unsecured convertible promissory note (the “First Convertible Promissory Note”) to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company borrowed $120,000 (the “First Convertible Working Capital Loan”) from the Sponsor for general corporate purposes. Such loan may, at the Sponsor’s discretion, be converted into Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Working Capital Shares”) at a conversion price equal to $10.00 per Working Capital Share. The terms of the Working Capital Shares will be identical to those of the Private Placement Shares that were issued to the Sponsor in connection with the Initial Public Offering. The First Convertible Working Capital Loan will not bear any interest and will be repayable by the Company to the Sponsor, if not converted or repaid on the effective date of a Business Combination involving the Company and one or more businesses. The maturity date of the First Convertible Working Capital Loan may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined under the First Convertible Promissory Note).

Further, each newly issued Working Capital Share shall bear the same transfer restrictions that apply to the Private Placement Shares, as contemplated by the Letter Agreement, dated February 25, 2021, by and among the Company, the Sponsor and the other parties thereto (the “Letter Agreement”). As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were $120,000 of borrowings outstanding under the First Convertible Promissory Note.

On February 28, 2023, the Company issued a non-interest bearing, unsecured convertible promissory note to the Sponsor in connection with the First Extension Amendment Proposal, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to $1,680,000 from the Sponsor for general corporate purposes and the funding of the deposits that the Company is required to make pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (as amended following the adoption of the First Extension Amendment Proposal at the Company’s extraordinary general meeting of shareholders on February 28, 2023) and following the request of the Sponsor in connection with an optional monthly extension of the time period during which the Company may consummate a Business Combination (the “Second Convertible Promissory Note”). Up to $1,380,000 of the amounts loaned under the Second Convertible Promissory Note will be convertible at the option of the Sponsor into Working Capital Shares. This working capital loan outstanding pursuant to the Second Convertible Promissory Note (the “Second Working Capital Loan”) will not bear any interest, and will be repayable by the Company to the Sponsor to the extent the Company has funds available outside of the Trust Account and if not converted or repaid on the effective date of a Business Combination. The maturity date of the Second Convertible Working Capital Loan may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined under the Second Convertible Promissory Note).

In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination, the Third Promissory Note will be repaid from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven. The maturity date of the Third Working Capital Loan may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined under the Third Promissory Note). On October 2, 2023, November 2, 2023 and December 2, 2023, the Company approved the fifth, sixth and seventh one-month extension of the Business Combination Period, respectively. In connection with such extensions of the Business Combination Period to January 2, 2024, the Company drew an aggregate amount of $420,000 from the Third Promissory Note.
