| Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. |
References to the “company,” “our,” “us” or “we” refer to Jaguar Global Growth Corporation I. The following discussion and analysis of the company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other SEC filings.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated on March 31, 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.
Our sponsor is Jaguar Global Growth Partners I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The registration statement for our initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”) was declared effective on February 10, 2022. On February 15, 2022, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A Ordinary Shares included in the units being offered, the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, which includes the exercise in full of the underwriters’ option to purchase an additional 3,000,000 Units at the Initial Public Offering price to cover over-allotments, generating gross proceeds of $230.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $12.65 million, inclusive of $8.05 million in deferred underwriting commissions. Each Unit consists of one Class A Ordinary Share, $0.0001 par value per share, one right to receive one-twelfth (1/12) of one Class A Ordinary Share and one-half of one redeemable Warrant (“Public Warrants”), each whole Public Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 12,450,000 Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Warrant (“Private Placement Warrants”) to the sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $12.45 million.
Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the private placement on February 15, 2022, $234.6 million ($10.20 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the units in the Initial Public Offering and the private placement were placed in a non-interest bearing trust account (“Trust Account”) located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee. Since the Initial Public Offering, the proceeds have been and will only be invested in U.S. “government securities,” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the company, until the earlier of (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the trust account as described below.
On March 2, 2023, the Business Combination Agreement was entered into by and among JGGC, New PubCo, Exchange Sub, and GLAAM. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the parties therein have agreed that, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, at the Closing, pursuant to which, among other things, (i) JGGC shall be merged with and into New PubCo, with New PubCo surviving the merger (ii) immediately thereafter, New PubCo shall issue a number of ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of New PubCo (“New PubCo Ordinary Shares”), equal to the Aggregate Share Swap Consideration (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), consisting of the quotient of (1)(A) $183,600,00 plus (B) the aggregate amount of proceeds actually received pursuant to all Approved Company Financings (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, divided by (2) the redemption price per ordinary share payable to JGGC’s shareholders that elect to redeem Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with the Proposed Transaction (as defined below) to Exchange Sub and, in exchange therefor, Exchange Sub shall issue a non-interest bearing note (in a form that is reasonably acceptable to the parties) to New PubCo pursuant to which Exchange Sub shall promise to repay to New PubCo the value of the Aggregate Share Swap Consideration so transferred, and (iii) all shareholders of GLAAM will transfer their respective common shares, par value KRW 500 per share, of GLAAM (the “GLAAM Common Shares”) to Exchange Sub in connection with the Share Swap (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) (such transactions and those otherwise contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, collectively, the “Proposed Transactions” or “Business Combination”). The parties to the Business Combination Agreement expect the Proposed Transactions to close in the third quarter of 2023.
On May 5, 2023, we announced the public filing of a registration statement on Form F-4 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The registration statement includes a draft proxy statement/prospectus in connection with the business combination involving us and GLAAM.
Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of our Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating our Business Combination.
17
If we have not completed our Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or August 15, 2023, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), 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 liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2023 and prior to the completion of our Business Combination, we had cash of $0 held outside the Trust Account and receivables from related party of $226,030. We will use these funds to primarily travel and structure and complete a Business Combination, and, if the proposed Business Combination with GLAAM is not completed, to identify and evaluate target businesses and perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses.
If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business prior to our business combination, other than funds available from loans from the Sponsor, its affiliates or members of our management team. Additionally, if our estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a business combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our business combination. In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended business combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete our business combination, we may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. In the event that our business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into Warrants of the post-business combination entity at a price of $1.00 per Warrant at the option of the lender. The Warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. The terms of such loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. Prior to the completion of our business combination, we do not expect to seek loans from parties other than the Sponsor, its affiliates or 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.
Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing to complete our business combination, either because the transaction requires more cash than is available from the proceeds held in our Trust Account, or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of the business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. If we have not consummated our business combination within the required time period because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account.
Going Concern
On a routine basis, we assess going concern considerations in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40 “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern”. As of March 31, 2023, we had $0 in cash, a working capital deficit of $2,322,837, and $240,562,196 of marketable securities held in the Trust Account to be used for a Business Combination, another initial business combination, or to repurchase or redeem our ordinary shares in connection therewith. The Sponsor intends, but is not obligated to, provide us with Working Capital Loans to sustain operations in the event of a liquidity deficiency.
The Company has until August 15, 2023, to consummate a Business Combination. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date and an extension is not requested by the Sponsor there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. As of March 31, 2023, the Company does not have sufficient cash to meet its working capital needs and its operations leading up to potential Business Combination have been funded by a related party. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which include, but are not necessarily limited to, suspending the pursuit of a Business Combination. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. The date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution within twelve months raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management’s intent is to complete a Business Combination prior to the mandatory liquidation date.
Results of Operations
Our entire activity from inception to March 31, 2023 was in preparation for our formation and the Initial Public Offering, and since the Initial Public Offering, our search for a prospective target for our Business Combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our Business Combination, at the earliest. We may generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents. There has been no significant change in our financial or trading position and no material adverse change has occurred since the date of our audited financial statements. Since the date of the public offering, 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, 2023, we had a net loss of $748,755, consisting of $2,314,548 loss from operations, all consisting of general and administrative expenses, further contributed by loss on change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities of $958,000, partially offset by dividends and interest on marketable securities (net), held in the Trust Account of $2,523,793.
18
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had a net loss of $1,389,109, consisting of $271,075 loss from operations, all consisting of general and administrative expenses, further contributed by loss on change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities of $936,900, loss on transaction costs allocated to derivative warrant liabilities of $215,039, partially offset by a gain on marketable securities (net), dividends and interest, held in Trust Account of $33,905.
Contractual Obligations
Administrative Services Agreement
Commencing on February 10, 2022 we agreed to pay our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services, research and other services provided to us and to reimburse our sponsor for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and completing a Business Combination. Upon completion of the Business Combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, we incurred and paid $30,000 and $20,000, respectively, for these services. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had no balance outstanding for services in connection with this agreement.
Registration Rights
The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any Warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans (and any Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and Warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans) are to registration rights pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of this offering. 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 our Business Combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
We granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On February 11, 2021, the underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option.
On February 24, 2023 and on March 21, 2023, Barclays Capital Inc. and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., respectively, delivered notices to us formally waiving all rights to deferred underwriting commissions in connection with the Business Combination with GLAAM. The deferred underwriting fee was agreed between the Company, Barclays Capital Inc. and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. in the Initial Public Offering underwriting agreement signed by the parties on February 10, 2021 and would be earned in full upon completion of the Initial Public Offering but the payment of deferred underwriting fees was conditioned upon closing of the Business Combination with GLAAM such that the waivers were given by Barclays Capital Inc. and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. on a gratuitous basis without any consideration to Barclays Capital Inc. and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. from us.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and expenses during the period reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting estimates effecting our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements:
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 480. Class A Ordinary Shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are 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’ equity. Our Class A Ordinary Shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, the Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of our unaudited consolidated condensed balance sheets.
Net Income or Loss per Share
Net income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, plus, to the extent dilutive, the incremental number of shares of ordinary shares to settle Warrants, as calculated using the treasury stock method. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the inclusion of the securities and other contracts that could potentially be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in our earnings is contingent on a future event. For the three months ended March 31,
19
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 (loss) per share is the same as basic income (loss) per share for the periods presented.
We have two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares. Income (loss) are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares on the assumption that the consummation of the business combination is the most likely outcome. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares is excluded from income (loss) per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We do not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2023, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
JOBS Act
The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” and may take advantage of complying with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the principal executive officer’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our Initial Public Offering or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

| Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
The net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants have been and will only be 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 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.
We accounted for the 23,950,000 Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering (the 11,500,000 Warrants included in the units and the 12,450,000 Private Placement Warrants) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that because the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each Warrant must be recorded as a liability. Accordingly, we classify each Warrant as a liability at its fair value. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement, the Warrant liability will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the Warrants each reporting period are adjusted through earnings, subjecting us to non-cash volatility in our results of operations.
| 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 our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2023. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that 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, except as stated below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 29, 2023. We may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
Inflation Reduction Act of 2022
On August 16, 2022, the IR Act was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The Treasury has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax. Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and inhibit the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination.
| Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds. |
Simultaneously with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering on February 15, 2022, we completed the private placement of 12,450,000 Private Placement Warrants at a purchase price of $1.00 per private placement Warrant, to our sponsor, generating gross proceeds to us of $12,450,000. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Warrants included in the units issued in our Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants are not transferable, assignable or salable until the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. The issuance of the Private Placement Warrants was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
In connection with the Initial Public Offering, our sponsor had agreed to loan us an aggregate of up to $300,000 and as of December 31, 2021 we had borrowed an aggregate amount of $250,000 under an unsecured amended and restated promissory note. We fully repaid such loan upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering.
Of the gross proceeds received from the Initial Public Offering and the full exercise of the option to purchase additional Shares, $234.6 million was placed in the trust account. The net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain proceeds from the private placement are invested in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less and in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations.
We paid a total of approximately $4,600,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions related to the Initial Public Offering.
