Level 1 instruments include investments U.S. Treasury securities with an original maturity of 185 days or less. On February 27, 2023, the Company delivered an instruction letter to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting, as trustee, to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash in an interest-bearing demand deposit account until the earlier of the consummation of an initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company entered into Subscription Agreements, as discussed in Note 6. The Company has concluded that the New Adagio Common Stock and PIPE Warrants to be issued under certain of Open Market Subscription Agreements that include an open market purchase and non-redemption obligation for Open Market Investors qualify as equity under ASC 815-40 (“Derivatives and Hedging–Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”); therefore, the Company will recognize the New Adagio Common Stock and PIPE Warrants to be issued under such Open Market Subscription Agreements (such securities, the “Open Market PIPE Securities”) by recording an entry to additional paid-in capital (APIC) in shareholders’ equity in its Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet and Open Market Subscription Agreement expense on its Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations. In accordance with ASC 815-40-30-1, the New Adagio Common Stock and PIPE Warrants will be recorded and measured at fair value (i.e., most often representative of proceeds received for equity-linked instruments; however, when estimating the fair value of the New Adagio Common Stock and PIPE Warrants, the Company has followed the guidance in ASC 820 Fair Value Measurement. In connection with Open Market Investor’s commitment to irrevocably subscribe for and agree to purchase from ListCo the number of Open Market PIPE Securities set forth on the signature page of the applicable Open Market Subscription Agreements, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in such Open Market Subscription Agreements, which include, without limitation, the agreement not to redeem the Class A ordinary shares purchased in the open market prior to Closing, the Company will record an amount equal to the full fair value of the New Adagio Common Stock and PIPE Warrants to be issued to the Open Market PIPE Investor in connection with the Closing. The estimated amount of New Adagio Common Stock shares and PIPE Warrants to be issued on the Close of the Transaction as of the inception of these agreements mentioned above, are 219,877 and 183,483, respectively.
