Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated on February 2, 2021 as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”).
Our sponsor is Target Global Sponsor Ltd., a Cayman Islands company limited by shares (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for our initial public offering was declared effective on December 8, 2021. On December 13, 2021, we commenced our initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 20,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit. Transaction costs related to the IPO amounted to $12,535,264 consisting of $4,000,000 of underwriting commissions, $7,000,000 of deferred underwriting commissions (including the portion of the deferred underwriting commission subsequently waived by BofA Securities Inc., one of the two underwriters of our IPO (“BofA”) on January 10, 2023), $510,000 in value of the over-allotment option, and $1,025,264 of other offering costs.
Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, we consummated the private placement of 6,666,667 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to the Sponsor, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement. The sale of the Private Placement Warrants in connection with the IPO generated gross proceeds of $10,000,000.
On December 29, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option, resulting in an additional 1,489,658 Units issued for gross proceeds of $14,896,580.
Following the closing of the IPO on December 13, 2021, and the subsequent close of the partial over-allotment option on December 29, 2021, a total of $219,194,512 from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and over-allotment and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was deposited into a trust account (the “Trust Account”) and was invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of 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. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement governing the Trust Account, the trustee is not permitted to invest in other securities or assets. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to us to pay taxes, if any, the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of our public shares if we are unable to complete the initial Business Combination by deadline prescribed in the Company’s Articles, subject to applicable law, or (iii) the redemption of our public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to (A) modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its public shares if we have not consummated an initial Business Combination by the deadline prescribed in the Company’s Articles or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of our creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of our public shareholders.
19
Our Articles provide that we will have until September 13, 2023 (or until March 13, 2024 if we extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination) to consummate the initial Business Combination. On September 8, 2023, the Company’s board of directors, upon request of the Sponsor, has elected to extend the deadline prescribed in the Company’s Articles from September 13, 2023 for an additional month, to October 13, 2023. On October 10, 2023, the Company’s board of directors, upon request of the Sponsor, has elected to extend the deadline prescribed in the Company’s Articles from October 13, 2023 for an additional month, to November 13, 2023. On November 9, 2023, the Company’s board of directors, upon request of the Sponsor, has elected to extend the deadline prescribed in the Company’s Articles from November 13, 2023 for an additional month, to December 13, 2023. As a result, the Company will have until December 13, 2023, to complete a Business Combination unless the Company extends the deadline prescribed in the Company’s Articles further. If we have not consummated an initial Business Combination within the deadline prescribed in the Company’s Articles, 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 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 our remaining shareholders and board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of (ii) and (iii) above, to our 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 our warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to consummate an initial Business Combination within the deadline prescribed in the Company’s Articles.
On June 2, 2023, shareholders of the Company at the Shareholder Meeting agreed, among other things:
| 1) | to amend the Company’s Articles to (i) extend the Termination Date by which the Company has to consummate an initial Business Combination from the Original Termination Date to the Articles Extension Date and to allow the Company, without another shareholder vote, to elect to further extend the Termination Date to an Additional Articles Extension Date, (ii) to eliminate from the Articles the limitation that the Company shall not redeem Class A ordinary shares to the extent that such redemption would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 and (iii) to provide that the Class B ordinary shares of the Company may be converted either at the time of the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination or at any earlier date at the option of the holders of the Class B ordinary shares; and |
| 2) | to amend the Trust Agreement by and between the Company and 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; (ii) the Articles Extension Date and (iii) the Additional Articles Extension Date. |
The foregoing description of the proposals approved at the Shareholder Meeting is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 8, 2023. In connection with the shareholders’ vote at the Shareholder Meeting, the holders of 16,994,128 ordinary shares of the Company properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.53 per share. As a result, approximately $178.9 million was removed from the Trust Account to redeem such shares and 4,495,530 Class A ordinary shares of the Company remained outstanding after the redemption was been effected.
In connection with the Extension Amendment, the Contributor agreed to deposit into the Trust Account the Contribution (i) on June 14, 2023, with respect to the extension to the Articles Extension Date, an amount equal to the lesser of (x) $270,000 or (y) $0.084 per public share multiplied by the number of public shares outstanding, and (ii) one business day following the public announcement by the Company disclosing that the Company’s board of directors has determined to extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial Business Combination for an additional month, with respect to the extension to each such Additional Articles Extension Date, an amount equal to the lesser of (x) $90,000 or (y) $0.028 per public share multiplied by the number of public shares outstanding, with the maximum aggregate amount of Contributions being $810,000. It was further agreed that the Contributions will be evidenced by the Contribution Note and will be repayable by the Company upon the Maturity Date. On September 8, 2023, the Company’s board of directors, upon request of the Sponsor, has elected to extend the Termination Date from the Articles Extension Date for an additional month, until the October 2023 Termination Date. On September 11, 2023, in connection with the October 2023 Extension, the Contributor deposited $90,000 into the Trust Account as a Contribution. As of September 30, 2023, the initial Contribution into the Trust Account was $360,015. On October 10, 2023, the Company’s board of directors, upon request of the Sponsor, has elected to extend the Termination Date from the October 2023 Termination Date for an additional month, to the November 2023 Termination Date. On October 11, 2023, in connection with the November 2023 Extension, the Contributor deposited an additional $90,000 into the Trust Account as a Contribution. On November 9, 2023, the Company’s board of directors, upon request of the Sponsor, has elected to further extend the Termination Date from the November 2023 Termination Date for an additional month, to the December 2023 Termination Date. On November 10, 2023, in connection with the December 2023 Extension, the Contributor deposited an additional $90,000 into the Trust Account as a Contribution.
The Contribution Note may be converted into warrants of the post-business combination entity, which shall have terms identical to the Private Placement Warrants sold concurrently with the IPO, each exercisable for one Class A ordinary share at a purchase price of $11.50 per share, at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the Contributor. The conversion feature included in the Contribution Note does not meet the definition of a derivative instrument.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
As of September 30, 2023, we had cash outside the Trust Account of $69,341, available for working capital needs, and working deficit of $2,000,576. Until consummation of its Business Combination, we will be using the funds held outside the Trust Account, and any additional Working Capital Loans from the initial shareholders, our officers and directors, or their respective affiliates, or other third parties, for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.
Our liquidity needs up to September 30, 2023 had been satisfied through a payment from the Sponsor of $25,000 for the Founder Shares to cover certain offering costs and the loan under an unsecured promissory note from the Sponsor of up to $500,000. As of September 30, 2023, we had $1,310,015 borrowing outstanding under the promissory note.
20
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, initial shareholders, officers, directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, provide us Working Capital Loans. As of September 30, 2023, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.
The Company may extend the deadline prescribed in the Company’s Articles by up to six one-month periods after September 13, 2023, until March 13, 2024. On September 8, 2023, the Company’s board of directors, upon request of the Sponsor, has elected to extend the Termination Date from the Articles Extension Date for an additional month, until the October 2023 Termination Date. On October 10, 2023, the Company’s board of directors, upon request of the Sponsor, has elected to extend the Termination Date from the October 2023 Termination Date for an additional month, to the November 2023 Termination Date. On October 11, 2023, in connection with the November 2023 Extension, the Contributor deposited an additional $90,000 into the Trust Account as a Contribution. On November 9, 2023, the Company’s board of directors, upon request of the Sponsor, has elected to further extend the Termination Date from the November 2023 Termination Date for an additional month, to the December 2023 Termination Date. On November 10, 2023, in connection with the December 2023 Extension, the Contributor deposited an additional $90,000 into the Trust Account as a Contribution. As a result, the Company will have until December 13, 2023, to complete a Business Combination unless the Company extends the Termination Date further. However, if we are unable to complete a business combination within the deadline prescribed in the Company’s Articles, we will redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, 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, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to applicable law and as further described in our registration statement, and then seek to dissolve and liquidate. In connection with the our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the authoritative guidance FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) Topic 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”, our management has determined that potential liquidity and capital shortage as described above and a mandatory liquidation, and subsequent dissolution, should we be unable to complete a business combination, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities should we be required to liquidate after March 13, 2024.
Risks and Uncertainties and Factors That May Adversely Affect our Results of Operations
Our management is currently evaluating the impact of the current global economic uncertainty, rising interest rates, high inflation, high energy prices, supply chain disruptions and the Russia-Ukraine armed conflict (including the impact of any sanctions imposed in response thereto) and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that any of these could have a negative effect on our financial position, results of operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. We cannot at this time fully predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact our business and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination.
Results of Operations
As of September 30, 2023, we had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from February 2, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2023 relates to our formation and the IPO. We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. We will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial Business Combination, at the earliest. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on investment held in trust account from the proceeds derived from the IPO. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.
For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we had net income of $276,576, which consisted of income from investments held in the Trust Account and operating account of $625,818, offset by general and administrative expenses of $349,242.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we had net income of $3,755,428, which consisted of income from investments held in the Trust Account and operating account of approximately $5,116,755, offset by general and administrative expenses of approximately $1,361,327.
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we had net income of $678,708, which consisted of income from investments held in the Trust Account and operating account of $959,949, offset by general and administrative expenses of $281,241.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had net income of $141,937, which consisted of income from investments held in the Trust Account and operating account of $1,177,415 and change in fair value of overallotment liability of $30,207, offset by general and administrative expenses of $1,065,685.
21
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt obligations, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or long-term liabilities.
Office Space, Secretarial and Administrative Services
Commencing on December 9, 2021, through the earlier of consummation of the initial Business Combination and the liquidation, we agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support and to reimburse the Sponsor for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and completing an initial Business Combination. The Company incurred $30,000 and $90,000 of administrative support fees for both three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Registration Rights
The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants, Class A ordinary shares underlying the Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and extension loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and extension loans) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our completion of the initial Business Combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The underwriters had a 45-day option from the date of the IPO to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On December 29, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option, resulting in an additional 1,489,658 Units issued for gross proceeds of $14,598,648.
The underwriters were paid underwriting commissions of $0.20 per unit, or $4,000,000 in aggregate, upon the closing of the IPO. Following the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option on December 29, 2021, the underwriters earned an additional $297,932 for an aggregate of $4,297,932 in underwriting commissions related to the IPO and over-allotment.
In addition, $7,000,000 was payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions (including the portion of the deferred underwriting commissions subsequently waived by BofA on January 10, 2023). Following the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option on December 29, 2021, the underwriters earned an additional $521,380 for an aggregate of $7,521,380 in deferred underwriting commissions related to the IPO and over-allotment (including the portion of the deferred underwriting commission subsequently waived by BofA). On January 10, 2023, BofA executed a waiver letter confirming BofA’s resignation and waiver of its entitlement to the payment of deferred underwriting commission in the amount of $3,760,690. The remaining balance of $3,760,690 owing to UBS has not been waived and remains due and payable from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Forward Purchase Agreements
We entered into two forward purchase agreements (the “Forward Purchase Agreements”) with Target Global Selected Opportunities, LLC – Series Selenium (“TGSO Series Selenium”) on November 8, 2021, pursuant to which TGSO Series Selenium agreed to purchase (1) an aggregate of 2,500,000 forward purchase shares for $10.00 per share (the “firm forward purchase shares”), or an aggregate amount of $25,000,000 and (2) in addition, an aggregate of up to 2,500,000 forward purchase shares for $10.00 per share (the “additional forward purchase shares”), or an aggregate maximum amount of up to $25,000,000, in each case in a private placement that may close simultaneously with the closing of the Business Combination. On May 11, 2022, all of TGSO Series Selenium’s rights and obligations under the Forward Purchase Agreements (including the obligation to purchase the Forward Purchase Shares) were transferred in full to Target Global Selected Opportunities, LLC – Series Selenium 3 (the “FPA Purchaser”) in accordance with Section 4(c) of the Forward Purchase Agreements. The FPA Purchaser’s obligations to purchase the forward purchase shares will automatically terminate if the Business Combination is not consummated by December 13, 2023.
22
Critical Accounting Policies
Offering Costs Associated with IPO
Deferred offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the IPO. We comply with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99-1. Offering costs are allocated ratably with the redeemable and non-redeemable shares they are allocated to. Upon closing of the IPO on December 13, 2021, offering costs associated with warrant liabilities are expensed, and offering costs associated with the Class A ordinary shares are charged to temporary equity. We incurred offering costs amounting to $12,964,576 as a result of the IPO consisting of $4,297,932 of underwriting commissions, $7,521,380 of deferred underwriting commissions (including the portion of the deferred underwriting commission subsequently waived by BofA on January 10, 2023), and $1,145,264 of other offering costs.
Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ deficit. Our Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, 4,495,530 and 21,489,658 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of our balance sheets as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
We recognize changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of Class A 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.
Net Income Per Ordinary Share
Net income per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, excluding ordinary shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor. Weighted average shares were reduced for the effect of an aggregate of 750,000 ordinary shares that are subject to forfeiture if the over-allotment option is not exercised by the underwriters. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in our earnings. As a result, diluted income per ordinary share is the same as basic income per share for the period presented.
Recent Accounting Standards
Our management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our unaudited condensed financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
Emerging Growth Company Status
We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (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 auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our 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.
23
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. We have 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, us, 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 our unaudited condensed 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.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2023, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer have concluded that as of September 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
None.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with SEC on March 28, 2023 (the “2022 Annual Report”), except for the risk factors set forth below.
We may in the future not be compliant with all of Nasdaq’s continued listing standards and our Public Warrants could be delisted.
On June 15, 2023, the Company received a written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that since the Company’s aggregate market value of its outstanding warrants was less than $1 million, the Company was no longer in compliance with the Nasdaq Global Market continued listing criteria set forth in Listing Rule 5452(b)(C), which requires the Company to maintain an aggregate market value of its outstanding warrants of at least $1 million (the “Notice”). The Notice additionally indicated that the Company, pursuant to the Listing Rules, has 45 calendar days, or until July 31, 2023, to submit a plan to regain compliance. If Nasdaq accepts the Company’s plan, the Company will have 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until December 12, 2023, to evidence compliance. If Nasdaq were to reject the Company’s plan, Nasdaq rules permit the Company to appeal the decision to a hearings panel.
On October 2, 2023, the Company submitted a revised plan to regain compliance, and, if Nasdaq accepts such plan, the Company intends to subsequently regain compliance with Rule 5452(b)(C) within the 180-calendar day compliance period. While the Company is exercising diligent efforts to maintain the listing of its warrants on Nasdaq Global Market, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain or maintain compliance with Nasdaq Global Market aggregate market value of outstanding warrants requirement. In addition, if the Company does not meet the aggregate market value of outstanding warrants requirement by the end of the 180-calendar day compliance period, Nasdaq could provide notice that the Company’s warrants will become subject to delisting. In the event the Company receives notice that its warrants are being delisted, Nasdaq rules permit the Company to appeal any delisting determination by the Nasdaq staff to a hearings panel.
We may not be able to consummate an initial business combination within the deadline prescribed in our Articles, in which case we would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and we would redeem our public shares and liquidate.
We may not be able to find a suitable target business and consummate an initial business combination within the deadline prescribed in our Articles. Our ability to complete our initial business combination may be negatively impacted by general market conditions, volatility in the capital and debt markets and the other risks described herein. For example, geopolitical conditions and global economic uncertainty, including the Israel-Hamas conflict, the Russia-Ukraine war and other macroeconomic factors that negatively impact the equity and debt markets, as described elsewhere in our Annual Report, could limit our ability to complete our initial business combination, including as a result of increased market volatility, decreased market liquidity and third-party financing being unavailable on terms acceptable to us or at all. In addition, such macroeconomic events, including terrorist attacks, the Israel-Hamas conflict, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, natural disasters or a significant outbreak of infectious diseases may negatively impact businesses we may seek to acquire. In addition, the current U.S. political environment and the resulting uncertainties regarding actual and potential shifts in U.S. foreign investment, trade, taxation, economic, environmental and other policies under the current administration, as well as the impact of geopolitical tension, such as a deterioration in the bilateral relationship between the U.S. and China, the Israel-Hamas conflict or the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war (including any further escalations thereof) could lead to disruption, instability and volatility in the global markets. If we have not consummated an initial business combination within the deadline prescribed in our Articles, 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 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 our remaining shareholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that, if we wind up for any other reason prior to the consummation of our initial business combination, we will follow the foregoing procedures with respect to the liquidation of the trust account as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, subject to applicable Cayman Islands law. In either such case, our public shareholders may receive only $10.20 per public share, or less than $10.20 per public share, on the redemption of their shares, and our warrants will expire worthless. See “-If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $10.20 per public share” and other risk factors herein and in our 2022 Annual Report.
If we do not consummate our initial business combination by December 13, 2023, our forward purchase agreements with the FPA Purchaser will terminate automatically, potentially leaving us with insufficient funds to consummate our initial business combination.
Our two forward purchase agreements with Target Global Selected Opportunities, LLC Series Selenium, for the sale of our Class A ordinary shares in the aggregate maximum amount of up to $25,000,000, will terminate automatically if our initial business
25
combination is not consummated by December 13, 2023. In the event of such termination, we may not be able to obtain additional funds to account for such shortfall on terms favorable to us or at all and may be unable to consummate our initial business combination. Any such shortfall would also reduce the amount of funds that we have available for working capital of the post-business combination company.
If we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination, our sponsor and members of our management team have agreed to vote in favor of such initial business combination, regardless of how our public shareholders vote.
As of the date of this Quarterly Report, our initial shareholders own 25,000 Class B ordinary shares and 5,347,415 Class A ordinary shares (resulting from a conversion on July 11, 2023 of an equal number of Class B ordinary shares previously held by the initial shareholders). Our sponsor and members of our management team also may from time to time purchase Class A ordinary shares prior to our initial business combination. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that, if we seek shareholder approval, we will complete our initial business combination only if we obtain the approval by way of an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders who attend and vote at a general meeting of the Company. Our initial shareholders’ founder shares and Class A ordinary shares represent approximately 54.44 % of all our issued and outstanding shares. Our initial shareholders have agreed to vote their shares in favor of our initial business combination. Therefore, we would not need additional shares to be voted in favor of an initial business combination in order to have our initial business combination approved. Accordingly, if we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination, the agreement by our sponsor and each member of our management team to vote their shares in favor of our initial business combination will increase the likelihood that we will receive the requisite shareholder approval for such initial business combination.
The ability of our public shareholders to redeem their shares for cash may make our financial condition unattractive to potential business combination targets, which may make it difficult for us to enter into a business combination with a target.
We may seek to enter into a business combination transaction agreement with a prospective target that requires as a closing condition that we have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash. If too many public shareholders exercise their redemption rights, we would not be able to meet such closing condition and, as a result, would not be able to proceed with the business combination. Furthermore, unlike other similar special purpose acquisition companies, we can redeem our public shares irrespective of whether such redemption would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. Prospective targets will be aware of these risks and, thus, may be reluctant to enter into a business combination transaction with us.
The ability of our public shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of our shares may not allow us to complete the most desirable business combination or optimize our capital structure.
At the time we enter into an agreement for our initial business combination, we will not know how many of our remaining shareholders may exercise their redemption rights, and therefore will need to structure the transaction based on our expectations as to the number of shares that will be submitted for redemption. If our remaining shareholders submit their shares for redemption, we may need to restructure the transaction to reserve a greater portion of the cash in the trust account or arrange for additional third-party financing. Raising additional third-party financing may involve dilutive equity issuances or the incurrence of indebtedness at higher than desirable levels. The above considerations may limit our ability to complete the most desirable business combination available to us or optimize our capital structure. The amount of the deferred underwriting commission payable to UBS in case we complete a Business Combination, will not be adjusted for any shares that are redeemed in connection with an initial business combination. The per-share amount we will distribute to shareholders who properly exercise their redemption rights will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commission and after such redemptions, the amount held in trust will continue to reflect our obligation to pay the entire deferred underwriting commission due to UBS if we complete a Business Combination.
The requirement that we consummate an initial business combination within the deadline prescribed in our Articles may give potential target businesses leverage over us in negotiating a business combination and may limit the time we have in which to conduct due diligence on potential business combination targets, in particular as we approach our dissolution deadline, which could undermine our ability to complete our initial business combination on terms that would produce value for our shareholders.
26
Any potential target business with which we enter into negotiations concerning a business combination will be aware that we must consummate an initial business combination within the deadline prescribed in our Articles. Consequently, such target business may obtain leverage over us in negotiating a business combination, knowing that if we do not complete our initial business combination with that particular target business, we may be unable to complete our initial business combination with any target business. This risk will increase as we get closer to the deadline described above. In addition, we may have limited time to conduct due diligence and may enter into our initial business combination on terms that we would have rejected upon a more comprehensive investigation.
Our sponsor has the right, but not the obligation, to extend the term we have to consummate our initial business combination on a monthly basis for up to six times by an additional one month each time after September 13, 2023 until March 13, 2024 without providing our stockholders with voting or redemption rights relating thereto.
If we anticipate that we may not be able to consummate our initial business combination by December 13, 2023, we may, without another shareholder vote, elect to further extend the Termination Date to consummate a Business Combination on a monthly basis for up to three times by an additional one month each time after December 13, 2023, by resolution of our board of directors, if requested by our Sponsor, and upon two calendar days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until March 13, 2024, unless the closing of our Business Combination shall have occurred prior thereto. In connection with each such extension, our Sponsor has agreed to deposit into the Trust account as a Contribution an amount equal to the lesser of (x) $90,000 or (y) $0.028 per public share multiplied by the number of public shares outstanding. Any such Contribution would evidenced by a non-interest bearing, unsecured convertible promissory note to our Sponsor and is repayable by us upon consummation of our Business Combination. Such loans may be converted into warrants of the post-business combination entity, which shall have terms identical to the Private Placement Warrants sold concurrently with our IPO, each exercisable for one Class A Ordinary Share at a purchase price of $11.50 per share, at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the Contributor. If we do not consummate a Business Combination within the deadline prescribed by our Articles, any such promissory notes will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven.
Our public stockholders will not be entitled to vote or redeem their shares in connection with any such extension. As a result, we may conduct such an extension even though a majority of our public stockholders do not support such an extension and will not be able to redeem their shares in connection therewith. This feature is different than the traditional special purpose acquisition company structure, in which any extension of the company’s period to complete a business combination requires a vote of the company’s stockholders and stockholders have the right to redeem their public shares in connection with such vote.
Our sponsor and its affiliates or designees are not obligated to fund the trust account to extend the time for us to complete our initial business combination. Our sponsor may decide not to extend the term we have to consummate our initial business combination, in which case we would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and we would redeem our public shares and liquidate, and the warrants will be worthless.
Our search for a business combination, and any target with which we ultimately consummate a business combination, may be materially adversely affected by changes in geopolitical conditions and global economic uncertainty, including as a result of the Israel-Hamas conflict, the Russia-Ukraine war and other macroeconomic factors, including the impact thereof on the status of debt and equity markets.
Our search for a business combination, and any target business with which we ultimately consummate a business combination, is directly and indirectly affected by global macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions and the effect thereof on the industries and markets in which we, and any target business with which we ultimately consummate a business combination, operate. The outlook for the global economy over the medium term remains uncertain due to a number of factors, including high inflation, rising interest rates, supply chain disruption, the Israel-Hamas conflict, the Russia-Ukraine war, geopolitical tensions and trade barriers. In addition, we are exposed to risks arising out of terrorist attacks, natural disasters, unfavorable political, military or diplomatic events, armed conflicts (including the Israel-Hamas conflict and the Russia-Ukraine war, and related consequences for geopolitical stability, energy supply and prices, and cross-border financial transactions, including as a result of economic sanctions), pandemics and widespread public health crises, and the responses to them by governments and markets. Any of these events could materially and adversely affect, directly or indirectly, economies and financial markets worldwide, business operations and the conduct of commerce generally, the business of any potential target business with which we consummate a business combination and our ability to consummate a business combination, including if such events limit the ability to have meetings with potential investors or the target company’s personnel, vendors and services providers are unavailable to negotiate and consummate a transaction in a timely manner.
For example, the Russia-Ukraine war has had an immediate impact on the global economy resulting in higher energy prices and higher inflation with significant disruption to financial markets and supply chains for certain goods and services. Moreover, in connection with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the EU, the United States, and certain other governments around the world have responded by imposing various economic sanctions which restrict or prohibit certain business opportunities in Russia and Ukraine. The war has continued to escalate without any resolution foreseeable in the near future. The uncertain nature, magnitude, and duration of hostilities stemming from the Russia-Ukraine war, including the potential effects of sanctions limitations, possibility of counter-sanctions, retaliatory cyber-attacks on the world economy and markets, further disruptions to global supply chains and potential shipping delays, have contributed to increased market volatility and uncertainty, which could have an adverse impact on macroeconomic factors that affect our ability to consummate a business combination.
In addition, in October 2023, Hamas militants infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and carried out a series of attacks on civilian and military targets. Additionally, Hamas launched extensive rocket assaults on Israeli population centers and industrial areas along Israel’s border with the Gaza Strip, as well as in other regions within the State of Israel. Subsequently, Israel’s security cabinet declared war against Hamas, and a military campaign against these terrorist organizations began, running concurrently with their ongoing rocket and terror attacks.
Certain members of our management team, board of directors, and staff are located in Israel. Although we have no geographical restrictions on the targets we can pursue for our Business Combination, we had previously expressed our intention to give priority to Israel as one of our geographic focuses. While we do not currently anticipate that the recent conflict between Israel and Hamas will impact our ability to identify a suitable target company for our Business Combination, there can be no assurance that a further escalation of the conflict or unforeseen events will not affect our ability to complete a Business Combination. Any armed conflicts, acts of terrorism, or political instability involving Israel could potentially have adverse implications for our ability to successfully conclude a business combination within the prescribed deadline specified in our Articles, or potentially, at all.
27
Our ability to consummate a business combination may also be dependent on the ability to raise equity and debt financing, which may be impacted by any of the events described above, including as a result of increased market volatility and decreased market liquidity, and third-party financing being unavailable on terms acceptable to us or at all.
Finally, any of the events described above, including the ongoing impact of the recent conflict between Israel and Hamas and the Russia-Ukraine war, may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in the “Risk Factors” herein or in our 2022 Annual Report section, such as those related to the market for our securities and cross-border transactions.
You do not have any rights or interests in funds from the trust account, except under certain limited circumstances. Therefore, to liquidate your investment, you may be forced to sell your public shares or warrants, potentially at a loss.
Our public shareholders are entitled to receive funds from the trust account only upon the earliest to occur of: (i) our completion of an initial business combination, and then only in connection with those Class A ordinary shares that such shareholder properly elected to redeem, subject to the limitations described herein, (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide holders of our Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within the deadline prescribed in our Articles, or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of our Class A ordinary shares, and (iii) the redemption of our public shares if we have not consummated an initial business within the deadline prescribed in our Articles, subject to applicable law and as further described herein. Public shareholders who redeem their Class A ordinary shares in connection with a shareholder vote described in clause (ii) in the preceding sentence shall not be entitled to funds from the trust account upon the subsequent completion of an initial business combination or liquidation if we have not consummated an initial business combination within the deadline prescribed in our Articles, with respect to such Class A ordinary shares so redeemed. In no other circumstances a public shareholder has any right or interest of any kind in the trust account. Holders of warrants do not have any right to the proceeds held in the trust account with respect to the warrants. Accordingly, to liquidate your investment, you may be forced to sell your public shares or warrants, potentially at a loss.
If the net proceeds from our IPO and the sale of the private placement warrants not being held in the trust account are insufficient to allow us to operate until the end of the Business Combination deadline prescribed in our Articles, it could limit the amount available to fund our search for a target business or businesses and our ability to complete our initial business combination, and we will depend on loans from our sponsor, its affiliates or members of our management team to fund our search and to complete our initial business combination.
The funds available to us outside of the trust account may not be sufficient to allow us to operate until the Business Combination deadline prescribed in our Articles, assuming that our initial business combination is not completed during that time. We expect to incur significant costs in pursuit of our acquisition plans. Management’s plans to address this need for capital through our IPO and potential loans from certain of our affiliates are discussed in the section of our 2022 Annual Report titled “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” However, our affiliates are not obligated to make loans to us in the future, and we may not be able to raise additional financing from unaffiliated parties necessary to fund our expenses. Any such event in the future may negatively impact the analysis regarding our ability to continue as a going concern at such time.
Of the net proceeds from our IPO and the sale of the private placement warrants, only approximately $1,400,000 are available to us initially outside the trust account to fund our working capital requirements. We believe that the funds available to us outside of the trust account, together with funds available from loans from our sponsor, its affiliates or members of our management team are sufficient to allow us to operate until the Business Combination deadline prescribed in our Articles; however, we cannot assure you that our estimate is accurate, and our sponsor, its affiliates or members of our management team are under no obligation to advance funds to us in such circumstances. Of the funds available to us, we could use a portion of the funds available to us to pay fees to consultants to assist us with our search for a target business. We could also use a portion of the funds as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision (a provision in letters of intent designed to keep target businesses from “shopping” around for transactions with other companies or investors on terms more favorable to such target businesses) with respect to a particular proposed business combination, although we do not have any current intention to do so. If we entered into a letter of intent where we paid for the right to receive exclusivity from a target business and were subsequently required to forfeit such funds (whether as a result of our breach or otherwise), we might not have sufficient funds to continue searching for, or conduct due diligence with respect to, a target business.
In the event that our offering expenses exceed our estimate of $600,000, we may fund such excess with funds not to be held in the trust account. In such case, unless funded by the proceeds of loans available from our sponsor, its affiliates or members of our management team the amount of funds we intend to be held outside the trust account would decrease by a corresponding amount. Conversely, in the event that the offering expenses are less than our estimate of $600,000, the amount of funds we hold outside the trust account would increase by a corresponding amount. The amount held in the trust account will not be impacted as a result of such increase or decrease. If we are required to seek additional capital, we would need to borrow funds from our sponsor, its affiliates, members of our management team or other third parties to operate or may be forced to liquidate. Neither our sponsor, members of our management team nor their affiliates is under any obligation to us in such circumstances. Any such advances may be repaid only from funds held outside the trust account or from funds released to us upon completion of our initial business combination. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-business combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants. Prior to the completion of our initial business combination, we do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our sponsor, its affiliates or members of our management team as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust account. If we have not consummated our initial business combination within the deadline prescribed in our Articles because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the trust account. Consequently, our public shareholders may only receive an estimated $10.20 per public share, or possibly less, on our redemption of our public shares, and our warrants will expire worthless. See “- If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $10.20 per public share” and other risk factors in our 2022 Annual Report and herein.
28
To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we will, on or prior to the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement relating to our IPO, instruct the trustee to liquidate the securities held in the Trust Account and instead hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash items until the earlier of the consummation of our Business Combination or our liquidation.
The funds in the Trust Account have, since our IPO, been held only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of one hundred and eighty-five (185) days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. government treasury obligations and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. However, to mitigate the risk of us being deemed to have been operating as an unregistered investment company under the Investment Company Act, we intend to, on or prior to the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement relating to our IPO, or December 8, 2023, instruct Continental, to liquidate the U.S. government treasury obligations or money market funds held in the Trust Account and thereafter to maintain the funds in the Trust Account in cash in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank until the earlier of the consummation of our Business Combination or the liquidation of our Company. Interest on such deposit account is currently approximately 5.0% per annum, but such deposit account carries a variable rate and we cannot assure you that such rate will not decrease or increase significantly. As a result, any decision to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash items would reduce the dollar amount our public shareholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of our Company.
If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, we may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities may be restricted, which may make it difficult for us to complete our initial business combination.
If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, our activities may be restricted, including:
| • | restrictions on the nature of our investments; and |
| • | restrictions on the issuance of securities, |
each of which may make it difficult for us to complete our initial business combination.
In addition, we may have imposed upon us burdensome requirements, including:
| • | registration as an investment company with the SEC; |
| • | adoption of a specific form of corporate structure; and |
| • | reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy and disclosure requirements and other rules and regulations that we are currently not subject to. |
In order not to be regulated as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, unless we can qualify for an exclusion, we must ensure that we are engaged primarily in a business other than investing, reinvesting or trading of securities and that our activities do not include investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading “investment securities” constituting more than 40% of our assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. Our business is to identify and complete a business combination and thereafter to operate the post-transaction business or assets for the long term. We do not plan to buy businesses or assets with a view to resale or profit from their resale. We do not plan to buy unrelated businesses or assets or to be a passive investor.
We do not believe that our anticipated principal activities will subject us to the Investment Company Act. To this end, the proceeds held in the trust account may only be invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of 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. Pursuant to the trust agreement, the trustee is not permitted to invest in other securities or assets. By restricting the investment of the proceeds to these instruments, and by having a business plan targeted at acquiring and growing businesses for the long term (rather than on buying and selling businesses in the manner of a merchant bank or private equity fund), we intend to avoid being deemed an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act. Our securities are not for persons who are seeking a return on investments in government securities or investment securities. The trust account is intended as a holding place for funds pending the earliest to occur of either: (i) the completion of our initial business combination; (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide holders of our Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within the deadline prescribed in our Articles, or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of our Class A ordinary shares; or (iii) absent our completing an initial business combination within the deadline prescribed in our Articles, our return of the funds held in the trust account to our public shareholders as part of our redemption of the public shares. If we do not invest the proceeds as discussed above, we may be deemed to be subject to the Investment Company Act. If we were deemed to be subject to the Investment Company Act, compliance with these additional regulatory burdens would require additional expenses for which we have not allotted funds and may hinder our ability to complete a business combination. If we have not consummated our initial business combination within the required time period, our public shareholders may receive only approximately $10.20 per public share, or less in certain circumstances, on the liquidation of our trust account and our warrants will expire worthless.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, on March 30, 2022, the SEC issued proposed rules relating to, among other items, the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act. The SEC’s proposed rules would provide a safe harbor for SPACs from the definition of “investment company” under Section 3 (a) (1) (A) of the Investment Company Act, provided that they satisfy certain conditions that limit a SPAC’s duration, asset composition, business purpose and activities. The duration component of the proposed safe harbor rule would require the SPAC to file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC announcing that it has entered into an agreement with the target company (or companies) to engage in an initial business combination no later than 18 months after the effective date of the SPAC’s registration statement for its initial public offering. The SPAC would then be required to complete its initial business combination no later than 24 months after the effective date of its registration statement for its
29
initial public offering. The SEC has indicated that it believes that there are serious questions concerning the applicability of the Investment Company Act to special purpose acquisition companies, including a company like ours, that does not complete its initial business combination within the proposed time frame set forth in the proposed safe harbor rule. As a result, it is possible that a claim could be made in the future that we have been operating as an unregistered investment company. These rules, if adopted, whether in the form proposed or in revised form, may materially adversely affect our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business combination and may increase the costs and time related thereto. It is also possible that the investment of funds from the IPO during our life as a blank check company, and the earning and use of interest from such investment, both of which will likely continue until we consummate an initial business combination, could increase the likelihood of us being found to have been operating as an unregistered investment company more than if we sought to potentially mitigate this risk by holding such funds as cash.
If we have not consummated an initial business combination within the deadline prescribed in our Articles, our public shareholders may be forced to wait beyond such period before redemption from our trust account.
If we have not consummated an initial business combination within the deadline prescribed in our Articles, the proceeds 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 income taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), will be used to fund the redemption of our public shares, as further described herein. Any redemption of public shareholders from the trust account will be effected automatically by function of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association prior to any voluntary winding up. If we are required to wind up, liquidate the trust account and distribute such amount therein, pro rata, to our public shareholders, as part of any liquidation process, such winding up, liquidation and distribution must comply with the applicable provisions of the Companies Act. In that case, investors may be forced to wait beyond the expiration of the deadline prescribed in our Articles before the redemption proceeds of our trust account become available to them, and they receive the return of their pro rata portion of the proceeds from our trust account. We have no obligation to return funds to investors prior to the date of our redemption or liquidation unless, prior thereto, we consummate our initial business combination or amend certain provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, and only then in cases where investors have sought to redeem their Class A ordinary shares. Only upon our redemption or any liquidation will public shareholders be entitled to distributions if we do not complete our initial business combination and do not amend certain provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that, if we wind up for any other reason prior to the consummation of our initial business combination, we will follow the foregoing procedures with respect to the liquidation of the trust account as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, subject to applicable Cayman Islands law.
Since our sponsor, executive officers and directors will lose their entire investment in us if our initial business combination is not completed (other than with respect to public shares they acquired during or may acquire after our IPO), a conflict of interest may arise in determining whether a particular business combination target is appropriate for our initial business combination.
On February 2, 2021, an affiliate of our Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.003 per share, to cover certain of our expenses in consideration of 7,187,500 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001. On November 8, 2021, 1,437,500 Class B ordinary shares were cancelled by the Company resulting in a decrease in the total number of Class B ordinary shares outstanding from 7,187,500 shares to 5,750,000 shares. Such shares were subsequently transferred to our sponsor in exchange for $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share. In March 2021, our sponsor transferred 25,000 Class B ordinary shares to each of our independent directors and 100,000 Class B ordinary shares to each of our CEO Shmuel Chafets and our Chairman Dr. Gerhard Cromme. In addition, in November 2021, our Sponsor transferred 25,000 Class B ordinary shares to our CFO Heiko Dimmerling. Prior to the initial investment in the company of $25,000 by the sponsor, the company had no assets, tangible or intangible. The per share price of the founder shares was determined by dividing the amount contributed to the Company by the number of founder shares issued. The founder shares will be worthless if we do not complete an initial business combination. In addition, our Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 6,666,667 private placement warrants, each exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share, at a price of $1.50 per warrant, or $10,000,000 in the aggregate, in a private placement that closed simultaneously with the closing of our IPO. In connection with the exercise of the over-allotment option on December 29, 2021, our sponsor purchased an additional aggregate amount of 397,242 private placement warrants, each exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share, at a price of $1.50 per warrant, or $595,863 in the aggregate, in a private placement.
If we do not consummate an initial business within the deadline prescribed in our Articles, the private placement warrants will expire worthless. The personal and financial interests of our executive officers and directors may influence their motivation in identifying and selecting a target business combination, completing an initial business combination and influencing the operation of the business following the initial business combination. This risk may become more acute as the end of the deadline prescribed in our Articles nears, which is the deadline for our consummation of an initial business combination.
In order to effectuate an initial business combination, blank check companies have, in the recent past, amended various provisions of their charters and other governing instruments, including their warrant agreements. We cannot assure you that we will not seek to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association or governing instruments in a manner that will make it easier for us to complete our initial business combination that our shareholders may not support.
In order to effectuate a business combination, blank check companies have, in the recent past, amended various provisions of their charters and governing instruments, including their warrant agreements. For example, blank check companies have amended the definition of business combination, increased redemption thresholds, extended the time to consummate an initial business combination and, with respect to their warrants, amended their warrant agreements to require the warrants to be exchanged for cash and/or other securities. Amending our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association will require at least a special resolution of our shareholders as a matter of Cayman Islands law, meaning the approval of holders of at least two-thirds of our ordinary shares who attend and vote at a general meeting of the company, and amending our warrant agreement will require a vote of holders of at least 65% of the public warrants and, solely with respect to any amendment to the terms of the private placement warrants or any provision of the warrant agreement with respect to the private placement warrants, 65% of the number of the then outstanding private placement warrants. In addition, our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association require us to provide our public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares for cash if we propose an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) that would modify the
30
substance or timing of our obligation to provide holders of our Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within the deadline prescribed in our Articles, or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of our Class A ordinary shares. To the extent any of such amendments would be deemed to fundamentally change the nature of any of the securities offered through this registration statement, we would register, or seek an exemption from registration for, the affected securities.
The provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association that relate to the rights of holders of our Class A ordinary shares (and corresponding provisions of the agreement governing the release of funds from our trust account) may be amended with the approval of a special resolution which requires the approval of the holders of at least two-thirds of our ordinary shares who attend and vote at a general meeting of the company, which is a lower amendment threshold than that of some other blank check companies. It may be easier for us, therefore, to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to facilitate the completion of an initial business combination that some of our shareholders may not support.
Some other blank check companies have a provision in their charter which prohibits the amendment of certain of its provisions, including those which relate to the rights of a company’s shareholders, without approval by a certain percentage of the company’s shareholders. In those companies, amendment of these provisions typically requires approval by between 90% and 100% of the company’s shareholders. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that any of its provisions related to the rights of holders of our Class A ordinary shares (including the requirement to deposit proceeds of our IPO and the sale of the private placement warrants into the trust account and not release such amounts except in specified circumstances, and to provide redemption rights to public shareholders as described herein) may be amended if approved by special resolution, meaning holders of at least two-thirds of our ordinary shares who attend and vote at a general meeting of the company, and corresponding provisions of the trust agreement governing the release of funds from our trust account may be amended if approved by holders of at least 65% of our ordinary shares; provided that the provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association governing the appointment or removal of directors prior to our initial business combination may only be amended by a special resolution passed by not less than two-thirds of our ordinary shares who attend and vote at our general meeting which shall include the affirmative vote of a simple majority of our Class B ordinary shares. Our Sponsor and its permitted transferees, if any, will participate in any vote to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and/or trust agreement and will have the discretion to vote in any manner they choose. As a result, we may be able to amend the provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association which govern our pre-business combination behavior more easily than some other blank check companies, and this may increase our ability to complete a business combination with which you do not agree. Our shareholders may pursue remedies against us for any breach of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.
Our sponsor, executive officers and directors have agreed, pursuant to agreements with us, that they will not propose any amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide holders of our Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within the deadline prescribed in our Articles, or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of our Class A ordinary shares, unless we provide our public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Class A ordinary shares upon approval of any such amendment 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 income taxes, if any, divided by the number of the then-outstanding public shares. Our shareholders are not parties to, or third-party beneficiaries of, these agreements and, as a result, do not have the ability to pursue remedies against our sponsor, executive officers or directors for any breach of these agreements. As a result, in the event of a breach, our shareholders would need to pursue a shareholder derivative action, subject to applicable law.
We do not have a specified maximum redemption threshold. The absence of such a redemption threshold may make it possible for us to complete our initial business combination with which a substantial majority of our shareholders do not agree.
Our Articles do not provide a specified maximum redemption threshold and, unlike other similar special purpose acquisition companies, we can redeem our shares irrespective of whether such redemption would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. As a result, we may be able to complete our initial business combination even though a substantial majority of our public shareholders do not agree with the transaction and have redeemed their shares or, if we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination and do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, have entered into privately-negotiated agreements to sell their shares to our sponsor, officers, directors, advisors or their affiliates. In the event the aggregate cash consideration we would be required to pay for all Class A ordinary shares that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the proposed business combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to us, we will not complete the business combination or redeem any shares, all Class A ordinary shares submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof, and we instead may search for an alternate business combination.

| Organization and Business Operations | NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS Target Global Acquisition I Corp (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on February 2, 2021. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). As of September 30, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from February 2, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income on investment held in trust account from the proceeds derived from the Company’s initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering” “IPO”). The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. The Company’s sponsor is Target Global Sponsor Ltd., a Cayman Islands company limited by shares (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on December 8, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). On December 13, 2021, the Company’s consummated the IPO of 20,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrants”). Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share. Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement of 6,666,667 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to the Sponsor, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement. In connection with the IPO, the underwriters were granted a 45-day option from the date of the prospectus (the “Over-Allotment Option”) to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional units to cover over-allotments (the “Over-Allotment Units”), if any. On December 29, 2021, the underwriters purchased an additional 1,489,658 Over-Allotment Units pursuant to the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. The Over-Allotment Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Over-Allotment Unit, generating aggregate additional gross proceeds of $14,896,580 to the Company. Concurrently with the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, the Company completed the private sale of 397,242 additional warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to Target Global Sponsor Ltd. (the “Sponsor”) at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $595,863. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the deferred underwriting commission due to UBS and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account). However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% 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 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. Following the closing of the IPO on December 13, 2021, and the exercise of the underwriter’s Over-Allotment Option on December 29, 2021, $219,194,512 ($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was deposited into a trust account (the “Trust Account”) and was invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of 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. However, to mitigate the risk of the Company being deemed to have been operating as an unregistered investment company under the Investment Company Act, the Company will, on or prior to the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement relating to its IPO, or December 8, 2023, instruct Continental (as defined below), to liquidate the U.S. government treasury obligations or money market funds held in the Trust Account and thereafter to maintain the funds in the trust account in cash in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank until the earlier of the consummation of its initial Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay taxes, if any, the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of the Company’s public shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the deadline prescribed in the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Articles”), subject to applicable law, or (iii) the redemption of the Company’s public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to (A) modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its public shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the deadline prescribed in the Company’s Articles or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public shareholders. The Company will provide holders (the “Public Shareholders”) of its Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001, sold in the IPO (the “Public Shares”), with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the initial Business Combination or (ii) without a shareholder vote by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a proposed Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.20 per 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 taxes). The Public Shares subject to redemption will be recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In connection with the Company’s IPO, the Sponsor, officers and directors of the Company entered into a letter agreement with the Company in which they have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its public shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO, or such later period approved by the Company’s shareholders in accordance with the Company’s Articles or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO, or such later period approved by the Company’s shareholders in accordance with the Company’s Articles, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fail to complete the initial Business Combination within the prescribed time frame, and (iv) vote any Founder Shares held by them and any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO (including in open market and privately-negotiated transactions) in favor of the initial Business Combination. Extensions of Business Combination Deadline The Company initially had 18 months from the closing of the IPO (until June 13, 2023) to complete an initial Business Combination. On June 2, 2023, shareholders of the Company at an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders to the Company (the “Shareholder Meeting”) agreed, among other things,
The foregoing description of the proposals approved at the Shareholder Meeting is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 8, 2023. In connection with the shareholders’ vote at the Shareholder Meeting, the holders of 16,994,128 ordinary shares of the Company properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.53 per share. As a result, an amount of approximately $178.9 million was removed from the Trust Account to redeem such shares and 4,495,530 Class A ordinary shares of the Company remained outstanding after the redemption was effected. In connection with the Extension Amendment, the Sponsor, its affiliates and designees agreed to deposit into the Trust Account as a loan (a “Contribution,” and the Sponsor, its affiliate or designee making such Contribution, a “Contributor”), (i) on June 14, 2023, with respect to the extension to the Articles Extension Date, an amount equal to the lesser of (x) $270,000 or (y) $0.084 per public share multiplied by the number of public shares outstanding, and (ii) one business day following the public announcement by the Company disclosing that the Company’s board of directors has determined to extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial Business Combination for an additional month, with respect to the extension to each such Additional Articles Extension Date, an amount equal to the lesser of (x) $90,000 or (y) $0.028 per public share multiplied by the number of public shares outstanding, with the maximum aggregate amount of Contributions being $810,000. It was further agreed that the Contributions will be evidenced by a non-interest bearing, unsecured convertible promissory note to the Contributor (the “Contribution Note”) and will be repayable by the Company upon consummation of an initial Business Combination (the “Maturity Date”). On September 8, 2023, the Company’s board of directors, upon request of the Sponsor, has elected to extend the Termination Date from the Articles Extension Date for an additional month, to October 13, 2023 (the “October 2023 Termination Date” and the “October 2023 Extension”). On September 11, 2023, in connection with the October 2023 Extension, the Contributor deposited $90,000 into the Trust Account as a Contribution. As of September 30, 2023, the total Contribution into the Trust Account was $360,015. The Contribution Note may be converted into warrants of the post-business combination entity, which shall have terms identical to the Private Placement Warrants sold concurrently with the IPO, each exercisable for one Class A ordinary share at a purchase price of $11.50 per share, at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the Contributor. The conversion feature included in the Contribution Note does not meet the definition of a derivative instrument. Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern As of September 30, 2023, the Company had cash outside the Trust Account of $69,341, available for working capital needs, and working deficit of approximately $2,000,576. Until consummation of its Business Combination, we will be using the funds held outside the Trust Account, and any additional Working Capital Loans from the initial shareholders, our officers and directors, or their respective affiliates, or other third parties, for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination. The Company’s liquidity needs up to September 30, 2023 had been satisfied through a payment from the Sponsor of $25,000 (see Note 5 of the Condensed Unaudited Financial Statements) for the Founder Shares to cover certain offering costs and the borrowings under certain unsecured s from the Sponsor of up to $950,000 (see Note 5 of the Condensed Unaudited Financial Statements). As of September 30, 2023, the amounts under these notes were fully drawn and outstanding. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, initial shareholders, officers, directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans, as defined below (see Note 5 of the Condensed Unaudited Financial Statements). As of September 30, 2023, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans. The Company may extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination by up to six one-month periods after September 13, 2023, until March 13, 2024. On September 8, 2023, the Company’s board of directors, upon request of the Sponsor, has elected to extend the TerminationIn connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the authoritative guidance FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) Topic 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”, management has determined that potential liquidity and capital shortage as described above and a mandatory liquidation, and subsequent dissolution, should the Company be unable to complete a business combination, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after December 13, 2023 unless the Company extends the deadline to consummate a Business Combination prescribed in the Company’s Articles further after December 13, 2023. Risks and Uncertainties and Factors That May Adversely Affect our Results of Operations Management is currently evaluating the impact of the current global economic uncertainty, rising interest rates, high inflation, high energy prices, supply chain disruptions, the Israel-Hamas conflict and the Russia-Ukraine war (including the impact of any sanctions imposed in response thereto) and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that any of these could have a negative effect on our financial position, results of operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. We cannot at this time fully predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact our business and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination.

| Significant Accounting Policies | NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in unaudited condensed financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto for year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC on March 28, 2023. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or for any future interim periods. Emerging Growth Company Status The Company is an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (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 auditor 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. 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 unaudited condensed 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 unaudited condensed 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 unaudited condensed 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. Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account At of the date hereof, the assets held in the Trust Account were held in treasury funds. All of the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments held in Trust Account are included in interest income in the accompanying statements of operations. The estimated fair value of investments held in Trust Account are determined using available market information. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $48,728,983 and $222,234,685 in the Trust Account, respectively. 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 $69,341 and $394,251 in cash and no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Investment Held in Trust Account Investment held in Trust Account consist of United States Treasury securities. The Company classifies its United States Treasury securities as held-to-maturity Held-to-maturity Held-to-maturity A decline in the market value of held-to-maturity year-end, forecasted performance of the investee, and the general market condition in the geographic area or industry the investee operates in. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related held-to-maturity The carrying value, excluding gross unrealized holding loss and fair value of held to maturity securities on September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are as follows:
Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance coverage limit of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature. Fair Value Measurement Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The Company’s financial instruments are classified as either Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3. These tiers include:
Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ deficit. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, 4,495,530 and 21,489,658 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheets as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. All of the Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the Units in the IPO 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 Company’s certificate of incorporation. In accordance with ASC-480-10-S99, If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur. Immediately upon the closing of the IPO, the Company recognized the remeasurement adjustment from initial carrying amount to redemption book value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reflected on the balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:
Offering Costs associated with the Initial Public Offering Offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the IPO. The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC-340-10-S99-1 Offering costs are allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the IPO based on a relative fair value basis compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with warrant liabilities are expensed, and offering costs associated with the Class A ordinary shares are charged to temporary equity. The Company incurred offering costs amounting to $12,964,576 as a result of the Initial Public Offering consisting of $4,297,932 of underwriting commissions, $7,521,380 of deferred underwriting commissions, and $1,145,264 of other offering costs. On January 10, 2023, Bank of America (“BofA”), one of the two underwriters, executed a waiver letter confirming BofA’s resignation and waiver of its entitlement to the payment of deferred fee under the terms of the underwriting agreement in the amount of $3,760,690. The remaining balance of $3,760,690 owing to UBS, the second underwriter, has not been waived and remains due and payable from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. The impact of the partial waiver of the deferred underwriters’ fee was reflected in the Company’s statement of shareholders’ deficit for the current period. Net Income Per Ordinary Share Net income per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, excluding ordinary shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted income per share is the same as basic income per share for the period presented. The basic and diluted income per ordinary share is calculated as follows:
Income Taxes The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statements recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. 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’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months. The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the periods presented. Share-Based Compensation The Company adopted ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, guidance to account for its share-based compensation. It defines a fair value-based method of accounting for an employee share option or similar equity instrument. The Company recognizes all forms of share-based payments, including share option grants, warrants and restricted share grants, at their fair value on the grant date, which are based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Share-based payments, excluding restricted shares, are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Grants of share-based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered have been recorded at the fair value of the share-based payment, which is the more readily determinable value. The grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service. Share-based compensation expenses are included in costs and operating expenses depending on the nature of the services provided in the statements of operations. Recent Accounting Standards Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements.

| Initial Public Offering | NOTE 3 — INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING On December 13, 2021, the Company consummated its IPO of 20,000,000 Units. Each Unit was sold at a price of $10.00 and consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Following the closing of the IPO and the partial exercise of the over-allotment by the underwriters on December 13, 2021, $219,194,512 ($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units, was placed in a Trust Account and was invested in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule

The Private Placement Warrants will be identical to the warrants sold in the IPO except that the Private Placement Warrants (i) will not be redeemable by the Company, (ii) may not (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants), subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, (iii) may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis and (iv) will be entitled to registration rights. If the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within the deadline prescribed by the Company’s Articles, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

| Related Party Transactions | NOTE 5 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Founder Shares On February 8, 2021, an affiliate of the Sponsor paid $25,000, to cover certain offering and formation costs in consideration for 7,187,500 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 (the “Founder Shares”), which Founder Shares were subsequently transferred to the Sponsor for consideration of $25,000. On November 8, 2021, 1,437,500 Class B ordinary shares were cancelled by the Company resulting in a decrease in the total number of Class B ordinary shares outstanding from 7,187,500 shares to 5,750,000 shares. All amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect this. Up to 750,000 Founder Shares were subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised. On December 29, 2021, 377,585 Founder Shares were forfeited as a result of underwriter’s partial exercise of its over-allotment option. On January 27, 2022, the over-allotment option expired. As a result, the Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture. Prior to the completion of the IPO, the Sponsor transferred 300,000 of Founder Shares to some of the Company’s directors and executives in recognition of and compensation for their future services to the Company. The assignment of the Founders Shares to the Company’s directors and advisors is within the scope of ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date. The fair value of the 300,000 shares granted to the Company’s directors, and executives was $1,926,000 or $6.42 per share. The Founders Shares were effectively assigned to directors and executives subject to a performance condition (i.e., the consummation of a Business Combination). Compensation expense related to the Founders Shares is recognized only when the performance condition is probable of achievement under the applicable accounting literature. Stock-based compensation would be recognized at the date a Business Combination is considered probable in an amount equal to the number of Founders Shares times the grant date fair value per share (unless subsequently modified) less the amount initially received for the purchase of the Founders Shares. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company has not yet entered into any definitive agreements in connection with any Business Combination. Any such agreements may be subject to certain conditions to closing, such as, for example, approval by the Company’s shareholders. As a result, the Company determined that taking into account that there is a possibility that a Business Combination might not happen, and, therefore, no stock-based compensation expense has been recognized. The Sponsor has agreed to certain transfer restrictions and performance conditionality on its Founder Shares:
Promissory Note — Related Party On February 19, 2021, the Sponsor agreed, under a promissory note, to loan the Company up to $500,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the IPO. Any loans under the promissory note are non-interest bearing, unsecured and have no fixed terms or repayment and can be repaid at any time. The loans under the initial promissory note were repaid upon the closing of the IPO out of the $1,000,000 of offering proceeds that has been allocated to the payment of offering expenses. In addition, the Company and the Sponsor entered into the following promissory notes:
Contribution Note In connection with the Extension Amendment, the Contributor agreed to deposit into the Trust Account Contributions for the maximum aggregate amount of $810,000. The Contributions are evidenced by the Contribution Note and will be repayable by the Company upon consummation of a Business Combination. As of September 30, 2023, an amount of $360,015 was drawn and contributed to the Trust Account and was outstanding as of September 30, 20 23 under the Contribution Note. The Contribution Note may be converted into warrants of the post-business combination entity, which shall have terms identical to the Private Placement Warrants sold concurrently with the Company’s IPO, each exercisable for one Class A ordinary share at a purchase price of $11.50 per share, at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the Contributor. The conversion feature included in the Contribution Note does not meet the definition of a derivative instrument. Working Capital Loans In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”) on a non-interest basis. If the Company completes the initial Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into Private Placement Warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans. Administrative Services Fee The Company pays Sponsor $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support services provided to members of the Company’s management team. Upon completion of the initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had accrued $217,419 and $127,419, respectively, in due to related party for the administrative support services.

The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our completion of the initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. Underwriting Agreement The underwriters had a 45-day option from the date of the IPO to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 Units to cover over-allotments, if any. This option has been assessed a value of $120,000 based on a Black-Scholes model. This amount has been included in the balance sheets as “Over-Allotment option liability.” On December 29, 2021, the underwriters purchased an additional 1,489,658 Over-Allotment Units pursuant to the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. The underwriters were paid underwriting commission of $0.20 per unit, or $4,000,000 in the aggregate, upon the closing of the IPO. In addition, $7,521,480, in the aggregate, was originally payable to our underwriters for deferred underwriting commission. On January 10, 2023, BofA executed a waiver letter confirming BofA’s resignation and waiver of its entitlement to the payment of deferred fee under the terms of the underwriting agreement in the amount of $3,760,690. The remaining balance of $3,760,690 owing to UBS Securities LLC, one of the two underwriters of our IPO, has not been waived and remains due and payable from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

| Shareholders' Deficit | NOTE 7 — SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT Preference Shares Class A Ordinary Shares On July 11, 2023, the Company issued an aggregate of 5,347,415 Class A ordinary shares to the Sponsor and certain directors and officers of the Company (each, a “Holder”, together the “Holders”), upon the conversion (the “Conversion”) of an equal number of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares held by the Holders. The 5,347,415 Class A Ordinary Shares issued in connection with the Conversion are subject to the same restrictions as applied to the Class B Ordinary Shares before the Conversion, including, among other things, (i) certain transfer restrictions, (ii) waiver of redemption rights, (iii) waiver of rights to receive liquidating distributions from the Company’s Trust Account and (iv) the obligation to vote in favor of a Business Combination as described in the prospectus for the Company’s Initial Public Offering. In addition, following the Conversion, certain additional restrictions pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act apply to the Class A Ordinary Shares of the Holders. As of September 30, 2023, there were 5,347,415 Class A ordinary shares outstanding (excluding 4,495,530 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption which have been issued). Class B Ordinary Shares 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. Unless specified in the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, or as required by applicable provisions of the Companies Act or applicable stock exchange rules, the affirmative vote of a majority of the Company’s ordinary shares that are voted is required to approve any such matter voted on by its shareholders. The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of the initial Business Combination on a one-for-one sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination, the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, 20% of the total number of Class A ordinary shares outstanding after such conversion (after giving effect to any redemptions of Class A ordinary shares by public shareholders), including 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, or to be issued, or forward purchase shares, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor, officers or directors upon conversion of Working Capital Loans; provided that such conversion of Founder hares will never occur on a less than one-for-one Warrants The warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the warrant expiration date, which is five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. On the exercise of any warrant, the warrant exercise price will be paid directly to the Company and not placed in the trust account. The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the shares of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A ordinary shares is available, subject to the satisfying the Company’s obligations described below with respect to registration. No 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 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. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the share of Class A ordinary shares underlying such Unit. The Company is not registering the shares of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants at this time. However, the Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC, and within 60 business days following the initial Business Combination to have declared effective, a registration statement covering the issuance of the shares of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A ordinary shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed; provided that, if the Class A ordinary shares is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. Redemption of public warrants Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the public warrants for redemption:
If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. If the Company calls the public warrants for redemption, as described above, its management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise the public warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of 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 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 deadline prescribed in the Company’s Articles 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 for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of a Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per Class A 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 its 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 a Business Combination, 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 a Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, then the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price. The Private Placement Warrants will be identical to the public warrants underlying the Units being sold in the IPO, except that (x) the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, in each case subject to certain limited exceptions, (y) the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable and(z) the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will be entitled to registration rights. As of November 2, 2023, the Company accounted for 14,191,092 warrants (including 7,127,183 Public Warrants and 7,063,909 Private Placement Warrants) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. 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. Forward Purchase Agreements The Company entered into two forward purchase agreements (the “Forward Purchase Agreements”) with Target Global Selected Opportunities, LLC—Series Selenium (“TGSO Series Selenium”) on November 8, 2021, pursuant to which TGSO Series Selenium agreed to purchase (1) an aggregate of 2,500,000 forward purchase shares for $10.00 per share (the “firm forward purchase shares”), or an aggregate amount of $25,000,000 and (2) in addition, an aggregate of up to 2,500,000 forward purchase shares for $10.00 per share (the “additional forward purchase shares”), or an aggregate maximum amount of up to $25,000,000, in each case in a private placement that may close simultaneously with the closing of the Business Combination. On May 11, 2022, all of TGSO Series Selenium’s rights and obligations under the Forward Purchase Agreements (including the obligation to purchase the Forward Purchase Shares) were transferred in full to Target Global Selected Opportunities, LLC—Series Selenium 3 (the “FPA Purchaser”) in accordance with Section 4(c) of the Forward Purchase Agreements. The FPA Purchaser is indirectly controlled by TG, which in turn is a controlling affiliate of the Sponsor. The FPA Purchaser will purchase that number of additional forward purchase shares, if any, that the Company expects will result in gross proceeds necessary to enable it to consummate the Business Combination and pay related fees and expenses, after first applying amounts available from the trust account (after paying the deferred underwriting discount due to UBS in case the Company completes a Business Combination, and giving effect to any redemptions of public shares) and any other financing source obtained for such purpose at or prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, plus any additional amounts mutually agreed by the Company and the FPA Purchaser to be retained by the post-business combination company for working capital or other purposes. The FPA Purchaser’s obligations to purchase forward purchase shares will be subject to certain conditions, including in the case of the additional forward purchase shares a requirement, among other things, that such Business Combination is reasonably acceptable to the FPA Purchaser. Additionally, the FPA Purchaser’s obligations to purchase the forward purchase shares will automatically terminate if the Business Combination is not consummated by December 13, 2023. The forward purchase shares will not be issued until completion of the Business Combination and, accordingly, will not be entitled to vote in any shareholder vote until immediately after the Business Combination has been completed. The Forward Purchase Agreements also provide that the FPA Purchaser will be entitled to certain registration rights with respect to its forward purchase shares. The FPA Purchaser’s commitment to purchase securities pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreements is intended to provide the Company with a minimum funding level for the Business Combination. The proceeds from the sale of the forward purchase shares, if any, may be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in the Business Combination, expenses in connection with the Business Combination or for working capital in the post-transaction company. Subject to the conditions in the Forward Purchase Agreements, the purchase of the forward purchase shares will be a binding obligation of the FPA Purchaser, regardless of whether any shares of Class A ordinary shares are redeemed by the Company’s public shareholders in connection with the Business Combination.

| Fair Value Measurements | NOTE 8 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
The following tables presents information about the Company’s assets that measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

| Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in unaudited condensed financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto for year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC on March 28, 2023. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or for any future interim periods. |

| Emerging Growth Company Status | Emerging Growth Company Status The Company is an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (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 auditor 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. 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 unaudited condensed 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 | Use of Estimates The preparation of unaudited condensed 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 unaudited condensed 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.

All of the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments held in Trust Account are included in interest income in the accompanying statements of operations. The estimated fair value of investments held in Trust Account are determined using available market information. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $48,728,983 and $222,234,685 in the Trust Account, respectively.

| Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption | Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ deficit. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, 4,495,530 and 21,489,658 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheets as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. All of the Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the Units in the IPO 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 Company’s certificate of incorporation. In accordance with ASC-480-10-S99, If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur. Immediately upon the closing of the IPO, the Company recognized the remeasurement adjustment from initial carrying amount to redemption book value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reflected on the balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

| Offering Costs associated with the Initial Public Offering | Offering Costs associated with the Initial Public Offering Offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the IPO. The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC-340-10-S99-1 Offering costs are allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the IPO based on a relative fair value basis compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with warrant liabilities are expensed, and offering costs associated with the Class A ordinary shares are charged to temporary equity. The Company incurred offering costs amounting to $12,964,576 as a result of the Initial Public Offering consisting of $4,297,932 of underwriting commissions, $7,521,380 of deferred underwriting commissions, and $1,145,264 of other offering costs. On January 10, 2023, Bank of America (“BofA”), one of the two underwriters, executed a waiver letter confirming BofA’s resignation and waiver of its entitlement to the payment of deferred fee under the terms of the underwriting agreement in the amount of $3,760,690. The remaining balance of $3,760,690 owing to UBS, the second underwriter, has not been waived and remains due and payable from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. The impact of the partial waiver of the deferred underwriters’ fee was reflected in the Company’s statement of shareholders’ deficit for the current period.

| Net Income Per Ordinary Share | Net Income Per Ordinary Share Net income per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, excluding ordinary shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted income per share is the same as basic income per share for the period presented. The basic and diluted income per ordinary share is calculated as follows:

| Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statements recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. 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’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months. The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the periods presented.

| Share-Based Compensation | Share-Based Compensation The Company adopted ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, guidance to account for its share-based compensation. It defines a fair value-based method of accounting for an employee share option or similar equity instrument. The Company recognizes all forms of share-based payments, including share option grants, warrants and restricted share grants, at their fair value on the grant date, which are based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Share-based payments, excluding restricted shares, are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Grants of share-based payment awards issued
to non-employees for services rendered have been recorded at the fair value of the share-based payment, which is the more readily determinable value. The grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service. Share-based compensation expenses are included in costs and operating expenses depending on the nature of the services provided in the statements of operations. |
