EXPLANATORY NOTE

Swiftmerge Acquisition Corp. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 to its Annual Report on

Form 10-K/A,

for the year ended December 31, 2022 (this “Annual Report”) to amend and restate certain terms in its Annual Report on

Form 10-K for

the year ended December 31, 2022, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 21, 2023 (the “Original Annual Report”).

Subsequent to filing of its Original Annual Report, the Company identified an error in its historical financial statement for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the quarter ended March 31, 2023. In November 2022, Swiftmerge Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) obtained a waiver from the underwriter in the Company’s initial public offering of all rights to the deferred underwriting commissions payable to the underwriter at the closing of the Company’s initial business combination (the “Deferred Underwriting Commissions”). On August 21, 2023, in connection with the preparation of the Company’s unaudited financial statements for the quarter

and six-months ended

June 30, 2023, the Company’s management determined that the waived Deferred Underwriting Commission had previously been improperly classified as a liability after the waiver was obtained.

Therefore, the Company’s management concluded that the Company’s previously issued (i) audited financial statements included in the Company’s Original Annual Report; and (ii) unaudited interim financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on

Form 10-Q

for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on May 18, 2023; (collectively, the “Affected Periods”), should be restated and should no longer be relied upon. As such, the Company will restate its audited financial statements for the Affected Periods in this

Form 10-K/A

as a result of this error. The unaudited condensed financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2023 will also be restated in the Company’s Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on

Form 10-Q

for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2023, to be filed with the SEC (the “Q1

Form 10-Q/A”).

The restatement does not have an impact on its cash position and cash held in the trust account established in connection with the IPO (the “Trust Account”).

On August 23, 2023 the Company filed a report on

Form 8-K disclosing

the non-reliance on

the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on

Form 10-K,

for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on April 21, 2023, and the Company’s Quarterly Report on

Form 10-Q

for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on May 18, 2023.

After

re-evaluation,

the Company’s management has also concluded that in light of the classification errors described above, a material weakness existed in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during and since the Affected Periods related to the erroneous classification of a liability after the Fee Waiver was obtained, and that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023. To address this material weakness, management has devoted, and plans to continue to devote, significant effort and resources to the remediation and improvement of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. While the Company has processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements, the Company’s management plans to enhance these processes to better evaluate its research and understanding of the nuances of the accounting standards that apply to liabilities for third party contracts. The Company plans to provide enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents to its accounting personnel and third-party professionals with whom it consults regarding accounting matters, and to increase communication regarding accounting matters.

We are filing this Amendment No. 1 to amend and restate the Original Annual Report with modification as necessary to reflect the restatements. The following items have been amended to reflect the restatements:

Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors

Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

Part II, Item 9A Controls and Procedures

In addition, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have provided new certifications dated as of the date of this filing in connection with this

Form 10-K/A

(Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2).

Except as described above, no other information included in the Original Annual Report that is being amended or updated by this Amendment No. 1 and, other than as described herein does not purport to reflect any information or events subsequent to the Original Annual Report. This Amendment No. 1 continues to describe the conditions as of the date of the Original Annual Report and, except as expressly contained herein, we have not updated, modified or

supplemented the disclosures contained in the Original Annual Report. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Original Annual Report and with our filings with the SEC subsequent to the Original Annual Report.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

New Risk Factor in this Amendment

The following risk factor, which relate to the matters discussed in the Explanatory Note, have been amended and restated and added to this Amendment. Other than this section, “New Risk Factor in this Amendment,” the remainder of Item 1A. Risk Factors has not been updated to reflect developments since April 21, 2023, the date of the Original Filing. However, all Risk Factors not updated should be read in light of the information presented below.

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022. If we are unable to develop and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results in a timely manner, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Our management is likewise required, on a quarterly basis, to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and to disclose any changes and material weaknesses identified through such evaluation in those internal controls. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As discussed in elsewhere in this Report under “Controls and Procedures,” our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, we had material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related to our review controls over (i) the recording of an unbilled amount due to a third-party service provider and interest income, and (ii) the improper classification of the Deferred Underwriting Commissions as a liability after the Fee Waiver was obtained.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. Any failure to maintain such internal control could adversely impact our ability to report our financial position and results from

operations on a timely and accurate basis. If our financial statements are not accurate, investors may not have a complete understanding of our operations. Likewise, if our financial statements are not filed on a timely basis, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the stock exchange on which our common stock is listed, the SEC or other regulatory authorities. In either case, there could result a material adverse effect on our business. Failure to timely file will cause us to be ineligible to utilize short form registration statements on Form S-3, which may impair our ability to obtain capital in a timely fashion to execute our business strategies or issue shares to effect an acquisition. Ineffective internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.

We continue to evaluate steps to remediate the identified material weaknesses. These remediation measures may be time consuming and costly and there is no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects. If we identify any new material weaknesses in the future, any such newly identified material weakness could limit our ability to prevent or detect a misstatement of our accounts or disclosures that could result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements. In such case, we may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports in addition to applicable stock exchange listing requirements, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and our stock price may decline as a result. We cannot assure you that the measures we have taken to date, or any measures we may take in the future, will be sufficient to avoid potential future material weaknesses.

We can give no assurance that the measures we have taken and plan to take in the future will remediate the material weakness identified or that any additional material weaknesses or restatements of financial results will not arise in the future due to a failure to implement and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting or circumvention of these controls. In addition, even if we are successful in strengthening our controls and procedures, in the future those controls and procedures may not be adequate to prevent or identify irregularities or errors or to facilitate the fair presentation of our financial statements.

PART II

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

References to the “Company,” “our,” “us” or “we” refer to Swiftmerge Acquisition Corp. The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

This Annual Report includes “forward-looking statements” that are not historical facts and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected and projected. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this Annual Report including, without limitation, statements in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” regarding the Company’s financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “seek” and variations and similar words and expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance, but reflect management’s current beliefs, based on information currently available. A number of factors could cause actual events, performance or results to differ materially from the events, performance and results discussed in the forward-looking statements. For information identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, please refer to “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factor Summary,” “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company’s securities filings can be accessed on the EDGAR section of the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Except as expressly required by applicable securities law, the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated on February 3, 2021 as a Cayman Islands exempted company and formed for the purpose of effectuating a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar Business Combination with one or more businesses (our “Business Combination”). We intend to effectuate our initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the private placement of the Private Placement Warrants, the proceeds of the sale of our shares in connection with our initial Business Combination (pursuant to forward purchase agreements or backstop agreements we may enter into following the consummation of the Initial Public Offering or otherwise), shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to banks or other lenders or the owners of the target, or a combination of the foregoing.

Our registration statement for our Initial Public Offering was declared effective on December 14, 2021. On December 17, 2021, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 units (the “units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the units being offered, the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $200.0 million, and incurring offering costs of $12.6 million, of which $7.0 million was for deferred underwriting commissions. On January 18, 2022, the underwriter partially exercised its Over-Allotment Option, resulting in 2,500,000 additional units being sold at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $25.0 million. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the private placement of 8,600,000 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant with the Sponsor and the Anchor Investors, generating gross proceeds of $8.6 million. On January 18, 2022, following the underwriter’s exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, the Sponsor purchased from the Company an additional 750,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant. Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the private placement and the Over-Allotment Option, $227.2 million of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain of the proceeds of the private placement were placed in the Trust Account with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee and invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act, having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business

Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below. If we are unable to complete an initial Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of our Initial Public Offering, or June 17, 2023, and subsequently extended to March 15, 2024, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenues to date. Our only activities for the period from February 3, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2022 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, as described below, and since the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. We will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination, at the earliest. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents held after the Initial Public Offering. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as due diligence expenses.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, we had a net income of $1,502,550, which resulted from a gain on investments held in the Trust Account of $2,542,494, and a gain on waiver of deferred underwriting commissions of $442,750, offset by formation and operating costs of $1,452,694 and a loss on sale of Private Placement Warrants of $30,000.

For the period from February 3, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, we had a net loss of $482,997, which resulted from formation and operating costs of $139,479 and a loss on sale of Private Placement Warrants of $343,999, offset in part by unrealized gain on investments held in trust account in the amount of $311 and realized gain on investments held in trust account of $170.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had cash held outside of the Trust Account of $461,914 and a working capital surplus of $63,250.

Our liquidity needs up to December 31, 2022 had been satisfied through a payment of $25,000 from the Sponsor to cover certain expenses on behalf of the Company in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares, a loan under the Promissory Note from our Sponsor of $149,172, and the net proceeds from the consummation of the private placement not held in the Trust Account. The Promissory Note was repaid in full on December 21, 2021. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an initial Business Combination, our officers, directors and initial shareholders may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company with working capital loans. To date, there are no amounts outstanding under any working capital loans.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $413,917, which was due to our net income of $1,502,550, changes in working capital of $1,038,777, and a loss on the sale of Private Placement Warrants to our Sponsor of $30,000, offset by a gain on investments held in the Trust Account of $2,542,494 and a gain on waiver of deferred underwriting commissions of $442,750.

For the period from February 3, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was $1,099,296, which was due to net loss of $482,997, realized gain on investments held in the Trust Account of $311, unrealized gain on investments held in the Trust Account of $170 and changes in working capital of $959,817, offset in part by a non-cash loss on the sale of Private Placement Warrants of $343,999.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, net cash used in investing activities of $25,250,000 was the result of the amount of net proceeds from the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option and proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants being deposited to the Trust Account.

For the period from February 3, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, net cash used in investing activities of $202,000,000 was the result of the amount of net proceeds from the closing of our Initial Public Offering being deposited to the Trust Account.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, net cash provided by financing activities of $25,250,0000 was comprised of $24,500,000 in proceeds from the Initial Public Offering net of underwriting discount paid and $750,000 in proceeds from the sale of Private Placement Warrants.

For the period from February 3, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, net cash provided by financing activities of $203,975,127 was comprised of $196,000,000 in proceeds from the Initial Public Offering net of underwriting discount paid, $8,600,000 in proceeds from the sale of Private Placement Warrants, $25,000 in proceeds from the issuance of Class B ordinary shares to the Sponsor and $6,750 in proceeds from the issuance of Class B ordinary shares to the Anchor Investors, partially offset by the payment of $656,623 for offering costs associated with the Initial Public Offering.

As of December 31, 2022 we had cash of $461,914 held outside the Trust Account. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial 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. If the Company completes an initial Business Combination, the Company may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, such loans may be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that we do not consummate an initial Business Combination, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay such loaned amounts. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. To date, there were no amounts outstanding under any of these loans.

Prior to the completion of the Initial Public Offering, substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern existed as the Company lacked the liquidity it needed to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance date of the financial statements. The Company has since completed its Initial Public Offering at which time capital in excess of the funds deposited in the Trust Account and/or used to fund offering expenses was released to the Company for general working capital purposes.

Based on the cash forecast we prepared as of December 31, 2022, the amounts held in the operating account will not provide the Company with sufficient funds to meet its operational and liquidity obligations up to the expiration date of June 17, 2023 (subsequently extended to March 15, 2024).

Unless extended, the Company will have until March 15, 2024 to complete a Business Combination. If a Business Combination is not consummated by March 15, 2024 and an extension has not been effected, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company.

Based on the above, we have determined that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Although the Company intends to consummate a business combination on or before March 15, 2024, it is uncertain whether the Company will be able to do so by this time. While we expect to have sufficient access to additional sources of capital if necessary, there is no current confirmed financing commitment, and no assurance can be provided that such additional financing will become available to the Company. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay an affiliate of our Sponsor a monthly fee of up to $1,000 for office space and administrative support to the Company. We began incurring service fees on December 17, 2021 and will continue to incur such fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation.

Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants issued upon conversion of the working capital loans) have registration and shareholder rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of its securities held by them pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement entered into on the date of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of an initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On January 18, 2022, the Company announced the closing of its sale of an additional 2,500,000 Units pursuant to the partial exercise by the underwriter of its Over-Allotment Option. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $25,000,000.

The underwriter was paid a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $4,500,000 in the aggregate, upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and including the Units sold pursuant to the over-allotment. In addition, $0.35 per Unit, or $7,875,000 in the aggregate would have been payable to the underwriter for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee would have become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completed a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. On November 7, 2022, the underwriter waived its rights to the payment of the deferred underwriting commissions.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:

Warrant Classification

The Company accounts for the warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the private placement in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40 under which the warrants meet the criteria for equity treatment and are recorded as equity.

Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

All of the 22,500,000 Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering (and including the Units sold in connection with the underwriters’ partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option) contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the initial Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Therefore, all Class A ordinary shares have been classified outside of permanent equity.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit. The redemption value of the redeemable ordinary shares as of December 31, 2022 increased as the income earned on the Trust Account exceeds the Company’s expected dissolution expenses (up to $100,000). As such, the Company recorded an increase in the carrying amount of the redeemable ordinary shares of $2,442,494 as of December 31, 2022.

Net Income (Loss) Per Ordinary Share

Net income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering as part of the Units and the Private Placement Warrants in the calculation of diluted loss per share, because the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06 to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2024 for emerging growth companies and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2021 using the modified retrospective method of transition. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have a material impact on the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and for the period from February 3, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.

Reference is made to Pages F-1 through F-25 comprising a portion of this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

ITEM 9A. DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer (our “certifying officers”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2022, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our certifying officers concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the recording of unbilled amounts due to third-party service providers, failure to timely remove liability associated with the deferred underwriting fees and interest income during the preparation of our annual report on Form 10-K as of and for the period ended December 31, 2022. As a result, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our annual financial statements were prepared in accordance with US GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.

As of December 31, 2022, our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Based on its assessment using the COSO criteria, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2022.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Remediation Measures

To address the material weakness described above the Company has designed and implemented new and enhanced controls to ensure that the amount of liabilities recorded by the Company for third party contracts is assessed at the appropriate level of precision and that in-house accounting personnel have training to ensure they have the relevant expertise related to the recording of liabilities related to third party contracts. We believe the actions described above will be sufficient to remediate the identified material weakness and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. However, the new and enhanced controls have not operated for a sufficient amount of time to conclude that the material weakness has been remediated. We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these controls and will make any further changes management determines appropriate.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except as set forth above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, other than as described herein. Due to the material weaknesses in internal controls related to the recording of unbilled amounts, failure to timely remove liability associated with the deferred underwriting fees and interest income, we plan to continue communication with third-party service providers and to enhance the level of detail and specificity regarding inquiries of unbilled services and continue performing procedures to identify and review subsequent invoices and disbursements at an appropriate threshold to ensure that the controls continue to operate going forward. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.

REPORT OF

INDEPENDENT

REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

Swiftmerge Acquisition Corp.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Swiftmerge Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 the related statements of operations, shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022 and for the period from February 3, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, and the related notes

(collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positi

on of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for year ended December 31, 2022 and for the period from February 3, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the accompanying financial statements as of December 31, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2022 have been restated.

Explanatory Paragraph - Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1, the Company has incurred significant losses and needs to raise additional funds to meet its obligations and sustain its operations. Also, the Company’s business plan is dependent on the completion of a business combination, and management has determined that if the Company is unable to complete a business combination by June 17, 2023, then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, audits of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for

our opinion.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN

Swiftmerge Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on February 3, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from February 3, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2022 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”) as described below, and since the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate

non-operating

income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on December 14, 2021. On December 17, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $200,000,000, which is described in Note

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 8,600,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to Swiftmerge Holdings, LP (the “Sponsor”) and eleven qualified institutional buyers or institutional accredited investors (the “Anchor Investors”) generating gross proceeds of $8,600,000, which is described in Note

On January 18, 2022, the Company announced the closing of its sale of an additional 2,500,000 Units pursuant to the partial exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option (the “Over-Allotment Option”). The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $25,000,000. Simultaneously with the partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, the Company sold an additional 750,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $750,000.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering (including the closing of the Over-Allotment Option), an aggregate amount of $227,250,000 was placed in the Company’s trust account (the “Trust Account”) established in connection with the Initial Public Offering, invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations with maturities of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule

2a-7

under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds held in the Trust Account, as described below.

Transaction costs related to the issuances described above amounted to $26,958,716, consisting of $4,500,000 of cash underwriting fees, $7,875,000 of deferred underwriting fees, $13,605,750 for the excess fair value of Founder Shares attributable to the Anchor Investors (as described in Note

) and $977,966 of other offering costs.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance th

at the

Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully.

The Company must complete a Business Combination with

one

or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least

% of the value of the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into an initial Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires

% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

he Company will provide its holders of Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled

redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account ($10.10 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants. The Public Shares subject to redemption are recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480,

Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity

(“ASC 480”).

The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 either prior to or upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or other reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note

) and any Public Shares it holds purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction or do not vote at all.

Notwithstanding the above, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Company’s Sponsor, directors, advisors, Anchor Investors (as described in Note

) and executive officers have agreed to waive (i) redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of a Business Combination, (ii) redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with an initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of their Public Shares if the

Company does not complete an initial Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, unless extended, or with respect to any other material provision relating to shareholders’ rights or

pre-initial

Business Combination activity and (iii) rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held if the Company fails to complete an initial Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, unless extended. However, if the Sponsor acquires Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, unless extended.

The Company has

til 18

months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, unless extended, to complete a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than

ten

business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay income taxes, if

any

(less up to

100,000

of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

The underwriter agreed to waive its rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 7) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the initial redemption amount of

10.10

per share.

In November 2022, the Company obtained a waiver letter (the “Waiver Letter”) from the underwriter that waived all rights to the deferred underwriting commissions payable to the underwriter at the closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination.

On June 15, 2023, the Company reconvened the extraordinary general meeting of the Company which had been adjourned from June 12, 2023 (the “Meeting”). At the Meeting, the shareholders of the Company approved an amendment (the “Trust Amendment”) of that certain investment management trust agreement, dated December 17, 2021 (the “Trust Agreement”), by and between the Company and Continental Share Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), to change the date on which Continental must commence liquidation of the Trust Account to the earliest of (i) the Company’s completion of an initial business combination and (ii) March 15, 2024 (the “Extension Date”). At the Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved a proposal to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to provide the Company with the right to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial Business Combination (the “Extension”), from June 17, 2023 to March 15, 2024 (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”).

In connection with the shareholders’ vote at the Meeting, the holders of 20,253,090 Class A ordinary shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.40 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $211,918,104. After the satisfaction of such redemptions, the balance in the Trust Account was $22,858,102.

Immediately following the approval of the proposals at the Meeting, the Sponsor, as the holder of 3,375,000 Class B ordinary shares, converted all 3,375,000 of such shares into the same number of Class A ordinary shares.

As a result of the redemptions described above and the conversion of the Sponsor’s Class B ordinary shares, there are an aggregate of 5,621,910 Class A ordinary shares outstanding.

Under Cayman Islands law, the amendments described above took effect immediately upon approval by the shareholders of the Extension Amendment Proposal, Trust Amendment Proposal and the Founder Share Amendment Proposal.

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amounts in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i)

$10.10

per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.10 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay tax obligations, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business that executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account nor will it apply to any claims under the indemnity of the underwriter of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Going Concern

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had cash held outside of the Trust Account of $461,914 and a working capital surplus of

$63,250.

Furthermore, unless extended, the Company will have until March 15, 2024 to complete a Business Combination. If a Business Combination is not consummated by March 15, 2024 and an extension has not been effected, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company.

Based on the cash forecast prepared by management as of December 31, 2022, the amounts held in the operating account will not provide the Company with sufficient funds to meet its operational and liquidity obligations up to the expiration date of March 15, 2024.

Based on the liquidity condition and the mandatory liquidation, management has determined that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time within one year after the date that these financial statements are issued. Management plans to address this uncertainty through a Business Combination or extension as discussed above. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate a Business Combination or extension will be successful. While management expects to have sufficient access to additional sources of capital if necessary, there is no current confirmed financing commitment, and no assurance can be provided that such additional financing will become available to the Company.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the

COVID-19

pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations, and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. As a result of this action, various nations, including the United States, have instituted economic sanctions against the Russian Federation and Belarus. Further, the impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy are not determinable as of the date of these financial statements and the specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these financial statements

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal

excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally

of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and inhibit the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination.

NOTE 2. RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In connection with the preparation of the Company’s condensed financial statements as of and for the period ended June 30, 2023, management identified an error made in the audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 and unaudited condensed financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company should have derecognized the deferred underwriting fee payable to Bank of America based on the Waiver Letter releasing the Company as the primary obligor under the liability. Upon the derecognition, the Company reduced the liability by recording the corresponding credit to accumulated deficit, and a portion as a gain on the derecognition, in a manner consistent with the original allocation of the deferred underwriting fee payable. The reclassification of amounts from noncurrent liabilities to equity resulted in

non-cash

financial statement corrections and had no impact on the Company’s current or previously reported cash position, operating expenses or total operating, investing or financing cash flows.

In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, “Materiality,” and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,” the Company evaluated the changes and has determined that the related impact was material to previously presented financial statements.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements.

F-1

Table of Contents

SWIFTMERGE ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to

non-emerging

growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had $461,914 and $875,831 in cash as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Investments Held in Trust Account

As of Dec

ember

31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds, which are invested in U.S. Treasury securities. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $229,792,494 and $202,000,481 in investments held in the Trust Account, respectively.

The Company’s portfolio of investments is comprised of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of money market funds, the investments are recognized at fair value. Trading securities and investments in money market funds are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities is included in gains on investments held in the Trust Account in the accompanying statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.

Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

All of the 22,500,000 Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. In accordance with ASC

480-10-S99,

redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Therefore, all Class A ordinary shares have been classified outside of permanent equity.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements.

SWIFTMERGE ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The

Company recognizes changes in re

emption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional

paid-in

capital and accumulated deficit. The redemption value of the redeemable ordinary shares as of December 31, 2022 increased as the income earned on the Trust Account exceeds the Company’s expected dissolution expenses (up to $100,000). As such, the Company recorded an increase in the carrying amount of the redeemable ordinary shares of $2,442,494 as of December 31, 2022

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Class A ordinary shares reflected in the balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Offering Costs associated with the Initial Public Offering

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC

340-10-S99-1

and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A—

Expenses of Offering

. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs directly attributable to the issuance of an equity contract to be classified in equity are recorded as a reduction in equity. Offering costs for equity contracts that are classified as assets and liabilities are expensed immediately. The Company incurred offering costs amounting to $26,958,716, consisting of $4,500,000 of cash underwriting fees, $7,875,000 of deferred underwriting fees, $13,605,750 for the excess fair value of Founder Shares attributable to the Anchor Investors (as described in Note

) and $977,966 of other offering costs. As such, the Company recorded $24,864,388 of offering costs as a reduction of temporary equity and $2,094,328 of offering costs as a reduction of permanent equity.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740,

Income Taxes

(“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statements recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

position must be

more-likely-than-not

to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements. Since the Company was incorporated on February 3, 2021, the evaluation was performed for the 2021 tax year which will be the only period subject to examination.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is considered an exempted Cayman Islands

ompany and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s financial statements.

Net Income (Loss) Per Ordinary Share

Net income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing loss by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and private placement to purchase an aggregate of 20,600,000 shares in the calculation of diluted loss per ordinary share, s

ince the exercise of the Warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such Warrants would be anti-dilutive, as basic and diluted shares are effectively the same

The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share (in dollars, except per share amounts):

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution which, at times may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of

$250,000.

The Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company applies ASC Topic 820,

Fair Value Measurement

(“ASC 820”), which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework. ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the Company’s principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820 generally requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions based on market data and the entity’s judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are to be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements.

F-1

Table of Contents

SWIFTMERGE ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The carrying amounts reflected in the balance sheet for current assets and current liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

Level 1 — Assets and liabilities with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges. Inputs to the fair value measurement are observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Inputs to the fair value measurement are determined using prices for recently traded assets and liabilities with similar underlying terms, as well as direct or indirect observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 — Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs, such as estimates, assumptions, and valuation techniques when little or no market data exists for the assets or liabilities.

Warrant Classification

The Company accounts for the warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the private placement in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815,

Derivatives and Hedging

(“ASC 815”)

under which the warrants meet the criteria for equity treatment and are recorded as equity.

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 4. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on December 14, 2021. On December 17, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 Units generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and

one-half

of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share (see Note

On January 18, 2022, the Company announced the closing of its sale of an additional 2,500,000 Units pursuant to the partial exercise by the underwriter of its Over-Allotment Option. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $25,000,000.

NOTE 5. PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s Sponsor and Anchor Investors purchased an aggregate of 8,600,000 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the Initial Public Off

ering. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase

one

Class A ordinary share at a price of $

11.50

per share. The Private Placement Warrants were sold in a private placement consisting of the following amounts: (i) the Sponsor,

5,600,000

warrants (which can increase to

6,500,000

warrants if the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full) for

5,600,000

in aggregate (which can increase to

6,500,000

if the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full) and (ii) Anchor Investors,

3,000,000

warrants for

3,000,000

in aggregate. An amount

6,000,000

proceeds

from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was added to the Trust Account and an amount of

2,600,000

was deposited into the Company’s operating account. There will be no redemption rights with respect to the Private Placement Warrants if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

Simultaneously with the partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, the Company sold an additional 750,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $750,000, which was added to the Trust Account.

. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On February 8, 2021, the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 to cover certain expenses on behalf of the Company in exchange for the issuance of 7,187,500 Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”). In July 2021, the Sponsor surrendered 1,437,500 Class B ordinary shares for no consideration, resulting in an aggregate of 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares outstanding (see Note

). The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 750,000 Class B ordinary shares subject to repurchase by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriter’s Over-Allotment Option was not exercised in full or in part, so that the holders of the Founder Shares will own, on an

as-converted

basis, 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. On January 18, 2022, in connection with the partial exercise of the underwriter’s Over-Allotment Option, the Sponsor irrevocably surrendered to the Company for cancellation and for no consideration 125,000 Class B ordinary shares resulting in 5,625,000 Class B ordinary shares outstanding.

The Sponsor, the directors and the executive officers have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell their Founder Shares until the earliest of (x) with respect to

one-half

of such shares, until consummation of an initial Business Combination, (y) with respect to

one-fourth

of such shares, until the closing price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and other similar transactions) for any 20 trading days within a

30-trading

day period following the consummation of an initial Business Combination (the “Requisite Trading Period”) and (z) with respect to

one-fourth

of such shares, until the closing price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $14.00 (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and other similar transactions) for the Requisite Trading Period. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the Sponsor with respect to any Founder Shares. The Anchor Investors have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earliest of (A) one year after the completion of an initial Business Combination and (B) subsequent to the completion of an 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 subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and other similar transactions) for any 20 trading days within any

30-trading

day period following the consummation of an initial Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s Public Shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. Additionally, the holders of the Founder Shares have agreed that the Founder Shares will not be transferred, assigned or sold until one year after the date of the consummation of an initial Business Combination provided that, such holders shall be permitted to transfer such Founder Shares if, subsequent to an initial Business Combination, (i) the last sales price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and other similar transactions) for any 20 trading days within any

30-trading

day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination or (ii) the Company consummates a subsequent liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.

The Anchor Investors purchased a total of 19,800,000

nits and 3,000,000 Private Placement Warrants in the Initial Public Offering at the offering price of $10.00 per unit. Each such Anchor Investor entered into a separate agreement with the Company to purchase up to 225,000 Founder Shares at the original Founder Share purchase price of approximately $0.003 per share, or 2,250,000 Founder Shares in the aggregate. These Founder Shares were forfeited by the Sponsor back to the Company and subsequently reissued to the Anchor Investors.

The Company estimated the fair value of the Founder Shares attributable to the Anchor Investors to be $13,612,500 or $6.05 per share. The excess of the fair value of the Founder Shares sold over the purchase price of $6,750 (or $0.003 per share) was determined to be an offering cost in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A. Accordingly, the offering cost was allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs allocated to warrants were charged to shareholders’ deficit. Offering costs allocated to the Public Shares were charged to temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Promissory Note - Related Party

On February 5, 2021, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor (the “Promissory Note”), pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. The Promissory Note was

non-interest

bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) July 31, 2021 or (ii) the completion of the Initial Public Offering. On September 14, 2021, the Company and the Sponsor entered into an agreement to amend and restate the Promissory Note, extending the due date to the earlier of (i) March 31, 2022 or (ii) the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. On December 21, 2021 the Company repaid the outstanding balance of $149,172 under the Promissory Note. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding under the Promissory Note.

Due to Sponsor

Due to Sponsor consists of advances from the Sponsor to pay for offering costs and formation costs on behalf of the Company and are payable on demand. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there was $2,284 due to Sponsor.

Administrative Services Agreement

The Company entered into an agreement, commencing on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering, to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of up to $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services. On April 8, 2022, the Company entered into Amendment no. 1 to the administrative services agreement with the Sponsor, pursuant to which the payment for office space and certain administrative and support services was reduced from up to $10,000 per month to up to $1,000 per month. Upon the completion of an initial Business Combination, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. The Company incurred $43,516 in administrative services agreement expenses during the year ended December 31, 2022, which are included in accrued expenses

related party in the accompanying balance sheet.

Related Party Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial 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. If the Company completes an initial Business Combination, the Company may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, such loans may be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that an initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay such loaned amounts. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding under Working Capital Loans.

discounts and commissions. On January 18, 2022, the Company announced the closing of its sale of an additional 2,500,000 Units pursuant to the partial exercise by the underwriter of its Over-Allotment Option. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $25,000,000.

The underwriter was paid a ca

sh underwriting discount of $

0.20

per Unit, or $

4,500,000

in the aggregate, upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and including the Units sold pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option. In addition, $

0.35

per Unit, or $

7,875,000

in the aggregate would have been payable to the underwriter for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee would have become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completed a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. In November 2022, the Company obtained the Waiver Letter from the underwriter that waived all rights to the deferred underwriting commissions payable to the underwriter at the closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination.

NOTE 8. SHAREHOLDERS’ (DEFICIT) EQUITY

Preference shares

— The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 preference shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.

Class

A ordinary shares —

The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 Class A ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class A ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 22,500,000 and 20,000,000 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding, respectively, including 22,500,000 and 20,000,000 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, respectively.

Class

B ordinary shares —

The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class B ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 5,625,000 and 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding, respectively.

On February 8, 2021, the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 to cover certain expenses on behalf of the Company in exchange for the issuance of 7,187,500 Class B ordinary shares. In July 2021, the Sponsor surrendered 1,437,500 Class B ordinary shares for no consideration, resulting in an aggregate of 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares outstanding. On January 18, 2022, in connection with the partial exercise of the underwriter’s Over-Allotment Option, the Sponsor irrevocably surrendered to the Company for cancellation and for no consideration 125,000 Class B ordinary shares resulting in 5,625,000 Class B ordinary shares outstanding.

Ordinary shareholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. Except as described below, holders of Class A ordinary shares and holders of Class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders except as required by law. Prior to an initial Business Combination, only holders of the Founder Shares will have the right to vote on the election of directors. Holders of the Public Shares will not be entitled to vote on the appointment of directors during such time.

The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares (which such Class A ordinary shares delivered upon conversion will not have redemption rights or be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company does not consummate an initial Business Combination) at the time of an initial Business Combination or earlier at the option of the holders thereof at a ratio such that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an

as-converted

basis,

% of the sum of (i) the total number of ordinary shares issued and outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, plus (ii) the total number of Class A ordinary shares issued or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, excluding any Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A ordinary shares issued, deemed issued or to be issued to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor, its affiliates or any member of the Company’s management team upon conversion of working capital loans. In no event will the Class B ordinary shares convert into Class A ordinary shares at a rate of less than

one-to-one.

Warrants

—Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants will become exercisable

days after the consummation of a Business Combination. The Public Warrants will expire

five years

from the consummation of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of a Public Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Public Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration. No Public Warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their Public Warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder, or an exemption from registration is available.

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days, after the closing of a Business Combination, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, to cause such registration statement to become effective and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A ordinary shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. Because the warrants are not exercisable until 30 days after the completion of the initial business combination, the Company does not currently intend to update the registration statement of which the prospectus forms a part or file a new registration statement covering the shares of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants until after the initial business combination has been consummated. If a registration statement covering the shares of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of a Business Combination or within a specified period following the consummation of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act; provided that such exemption is available. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis.

The Company may call the warrants for redemption, in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant:

•

at any time after the warrants become exercisable;

•

upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder;

•

if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations), for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period commencing at any time after the warrants become exercisable and ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to warrant holders; and

•

if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the Class A ordinary shares underlying such warrants.

The exercise price and number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except as described below, the Public Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of Class A ordinary shares at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public Warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Public Warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their Public Warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such Public Warrants. Accordingly, the Public Warrants may expire worthless.

In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities (as defined below) for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of an initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or their respective affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of an initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of an initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Class A ordinary shares during the

20-trading

day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates an initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the greater of (i) the Market Value or (ii) the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the greater of (i) the Market Value or (ii) the Newly Issued Price.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units being sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants and ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants are not transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis and will be

non-redeemable.

At December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 11,250,000 and 10,000,000 Public Warrants outstanding, respectively, and 9,350,000 and 8,600,000 Private Placement Warrants outstanding, respectively. The Company accounts for the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815. Such guidance provides that the warrants described above are not precluded from equity classification. Equity-classified contracts are initially measured at fair value (or allocated value). Subsequent changes in fair value are not recognized as long as the contracts continue to be classified in equity.
