Founder Shares

On June 14, 2022, the Company issued 10,000 ordinary shares of a par value of $0.0001 each to the Sponsor. On August 30, 2022, the Sponsor acquired 1,725,000 ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”) for a purchase price of $25,000 and surrendered 10,000 ordinary shares for a par value of $0.0001 each. Those shares issuance and cancelation were considered as a recapitalization, which were recorded and presented retroactively. On December 27, 2022, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full, so there are no Founder Shares subject to forfeiture.

Simultaneously with the effectiveness of the registration statement and prior to the closing of the IPO (including the full exercise of over-allotment option), the Sponsor transferred to the Company’s independent directors, Messrs. Angel Colon, Mark Singh, and Rodolfo Jose Gonzalez Caceres, 8,000, 5,000 and 5,000 Founder Shares, respectively, pursuant to a certain securities transfer agreement (the “Securities Transfer Agreement”) dated September 12, 2022 among the Company, the transferees and the Sponsor.

The transfer of the Founders Shares to the Company’s independent directors, as described above, is within the scope of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, share-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date. The fair value of the 18,000 Founder Shares transferred to the Company’s independent directors was approximately $93,780 or $5.21 per share.

Promissory notes — Related Party

On August 30, 2022, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $500,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the IPO. This loan is non-interest bearing, unsecured and is due at the earlier of (1) August 31, 2023 or (2) the date on which the Company consummates an initial public offering of its securities. Total amount of $389,200 under the Promissory Note was fully repaid upon closing of the IPO on December 27, 2022. This note has been terminated after the repayment.

On September 26, 2023, in connection with the payment of the Extension Fee, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $70,000 to the Sponsor (the “Sponsor Extension Note”).

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had borrowings of 70,000, under the Sponsor Extension Note from the Sponsor.

Working Capital Loans

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, or to extend the Combination Period, 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. Any such loans would be on an interest-free basis and would be repaid only from funds held outside the Trust Account or from funds released to the Company upon completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination. Up to $3,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into units at a price of $10.00 per unit, at the option of the lender. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Units issued to the Sponsor. The Company does not expect to seek loans from parties other than the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor as the Company does 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 the Company’s Trust Account, but if the Company does, it will request such lender to provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in the Trust Account.

On April 12, 2024 and On October 8, 2024, the Company issued unsecured promissory notes in the total principal amount of $700,000 to the Sponsor (the “Sponsor Notes,” together with the Extension Notes, collectively, the “Notes”). The proceeds of the Sponsor Notes, which may be drawn down from time to time until the Company consummates its initial Business Combination, will be used for general working capital purposes. The Notes bear no interest and are payable in full upon the Maturity Date. The following shall constitute an event of default: (i) a failure to pay the principal within five business days of the Maturity Date; (ii) the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy action, (iii) the breach of the Company’s obligations thereunder; (iv) any cross defaults; (v) an enforcement proceedings against the Company; and (vi) any unlawfulness and invalidity in connection with the performance of the obligations thereunder, in which case the Notes may be accelerated. The payees of the Notes have the right, but not the obligation, to convert the Notes, in whole or in part, respectively, into the Conversion Units of the Company, each consisting of one ordinary share, one warrant, and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one ordinary share upon the consummation of a Business Combination. The number of Conversion Units to be received by the payees in connection with such conversion shall be an amount determined by dividing (x) the sum of the outstanding principal amount payable to the payees by (y) $10.00.

 As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $500,000 and $0 borrowings under the working capital loans
