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 registration statement for our IPO was declared effective on December 8, 2021. On December 13, 2021, we commenced our 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 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 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 the Trust Account. On November 24, 2023, we instructed Continental 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. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to us to pay income taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), 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
27
we are unable to complete the initial Business Combination by deadline prescribed in the our 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 our 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.
28
We initially had 18 months from the closing of the IPO, until June 13, 2023 (or up to 24 months from the closing of our IPO if we extended the period of time to consummate a Business Combination, subject to our Sponsor depositing additional funds in our Trust Account) to complete an initial Business Combination.
On June 2, 2023, we amended our Articles to extend the date by which we have to consummate an initial Business Combination from June 13, 2023 to September 13, 2023 and to allow the Company to elect to further extend the Termination Date on a monthly basis for up to six times by an additional one month each time after September 13, 2023, until March 13, 2024, unless the closing of an initial Business Combination shall have occurred prior thereto. In connection with such extension, we also amended the Trust Agreement to align the date on which Continental must commence liquidation of the Trust Account to the dates stipulated in our revised Articles.
In addition, the Sponsor, its affiliates and designees agreed to deposit into the Trust Account as a loan (a “June 2023 EGM Contribution,” and the Sponsor, its affiliate or designee making such June 2023 EGM Contribution, a “Contributor”) (i) on June 14, 2023, with respect to the extension to September 13, 2023, 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 month, 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 June 2023 EGM Contributions being $810,000. It was further agreed that the June 2023 EGM Contributions will be evidenced by the June 2023 EGM Contribution Note and will be repayable by the Company upon the Maturity Date.
Following the first amendment to the Company’s Articles, the Company’s board of directors, upon request of the Sponsor, elected to extend the Termination Date four times by an additional one month each time, from September 13, 2023 until January 13, 2024. In connection with these extensions, the Contributor deposited $90,000 into the Trust Account for each such monthly extension, each as a June 2023 EGM Contribution.
The June 2023 EGM 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 June 2023 EGM Contribution Note does not meet the definition of a derivative instrument.
As of March 31, 2024, the total June 2023 EGM Contribution into the Trust Account was $975,015.
On December 15, 2023, we amended our Articles once again to extend the date by which we have to consummate an initial Business Combination from January 13, 2024 to May 8, 2024 and to allow the Company to elect to further extend the Termination Date on a monthly basis for up to seven times by an additional one month each time after May 8, 2024, until December 8, 2024, unless the closing of an initial Business Combination shall have occurred prior thereto. In connection with such Second Extension, we entered into another amendment to the Trust Agreement to align the date on which Continental must commence liquidation of the Trust Account to the dates stipulated in our revised Articles.
In addition, in connection with such Second Extension, the holders of 561,310 Class A ordinary shares of the Company properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $11.01 per share. As a result, an amount of $6,182,365.63 million was removed from the Trust Account to redeem such shares and 9,281,635 Class A ordinary shares of the Company remained outstanding after the redemption was effected. Upon payment of the redemptions, $43,332,181.06 remained in the Trust Account.
29
In connection with the Second Extension, the Contributor agreed to deposit into the Trust Account a December 2023 EGM Contribution (i) on or before January 13, 2024, with respect to the extension to May 8, 2024, an amount equal to $345,000, 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 $90,000, with the maximum aggregate amount of December 2023 EGM Contributions being $975,000. It was further agreed that the December 2023 EGM Contributions will be evidenced by a December 2023 EGM Contribution Note and will be repayable by the Company upon the completion of Business Combination. On January 11, 2024, in connection with the Second Extension, the Contributor deposited $345,000 into the Trust Account as a December 2023 EGM Contribution.
The December 2023 EGM 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 December 2023 Contribution Note does not meet the definition of a derivative instrument.
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the total December 2023 EGM Contribution into the Trust Account was $975,015 and 630,015, respectively.
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 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. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to consummate a Business Combination within the deadline prescribed in the Company’s Articles.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
As of March 31, 2024, we had cash outside the Trust Account of $10,044, available for working capital needs, and working capital deficit of $4,004,540. Until consummation of our 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 March 31, 2024 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 $950,000. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the amounts under these notes were fully drawn and outstanding. In addition, our Sponsor deposited $345,000 and $630,015 into the Trust Account in connection with our Second Extension as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
30
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 March 31, 2024, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.
If we are unable to complete a business combination within the deadline prescribed in our 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 to pay our income taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), 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 or liabilities that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
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 including as a result of high inflation, rising interest rates, supply chain disruptions, the Israel-Hamas conflict, 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 this Annual Report. 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 March 31, 2024, we had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from February 2, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2024 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 March 31, 2024, we had net loss of $109,698, which consisted of income from investments held in the Trust Account and operating account of $479,568, offset by general and administrative expenses of $589,266.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we had net income of $2,105,779, which consisted of income from investments held in the Trust Account and operating account of $2,358,021, offset by general and administrative expenses of $252,242.
31
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 our 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 of administrative support fees for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. None of the amounts incurred for the administrative support were paid since the date of the IPO and total unpaid amounts of $277,419 of $247,419 were included in the Due to Related Party on the Company’s balance sheets as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023.
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. As of the date of this Annual Report, we cannot rule out that the remaining balance of $3,760,690 owing to UBS will be waived. Unless expressly waived by UBS, it remains due and payable from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event we complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

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, 3,934,220 and 3,934,220 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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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. 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 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. 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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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.
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 controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer or persons performing similar functions, 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 March 31, 2024, 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 March 31, 2024, 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.
