PRELIMINARY PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS
SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED DECEMBER
22, 2022

PROXY STATEMENT FOR SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS OF
SIZZLE ACQUISITION CORP.

AND PROSPECTUS FOR UP TO 21,770,600 ORDINARY SHARES, 7,750,000
WARRANTS, AND
7,750,000 ORDINARY SHARES issuable upon
exercise of Warrants
OF
CRITICAL METALS CORP.

To the Stockholders of Sizzle Acquisition Corp.:

You are cordially invited to attend the special meeting of stockholders (the “special meeting”) of Sizzle Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation, which we refer to as “Sizzle,” “we,” “us” or “our”, to be virtually held at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on            , 2023. The special meeting can be accessed via live webcast by visiting            , where you will be able to listen to the meeting live and vote during the meeting.

On October 24, 2022, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with European Lithium Limited, an Australian Public Company limited by shares (“EUR”), European Lithium AT (Investments) Limited, a BVI business company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of EUR (the “Company”), Critical Metals Corp., a BVI business company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“Pubco”) and Project Wolf Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Merger Sub”) (as may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”). Subject to its terms and conditions, the Merger Agreement provides that Company and Sizzle will become wholly owned subsidiaries of Pubco, a newly formed holding company. The Company owns the Wolfsberg Lithium Project in Austria. The Company also owns two Austrian subsidiaries, ECM Lithium AT GmbH and ECM Lithium AT Operating GmbH, and will own a 20% interest in the Weinebene and Eastern Alps projects, which are located in southern Austria. The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are referred to herein as the “Business Combination”.

Pursuant to the Business Combination and Merger Agreement (a) Pubco will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company held by EUR in exchange for ordinary shares of Pubco, such that the Company becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco and EUR becomes shareholder of Pubco (the “Share Exchange”); and immediately thereafter (b) Merger Sub will merge with and into Sizzle, with Sizzle continuing as the surviving entity and wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco.

The Merger Agreement provides that at the effective time of the Business Combination (the “Effective Time”):

(i)      all of the outstanding shares of Sizzle’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Sizzle Common Stock”), will be exchanged for the right to receive the ordinary shares of Pubco, par value $0.001 per share (the “Pubco Ordinary Shares”), comprising in the aggregate 21,770,600 Pubco Ordinary Shares (following which exchange all shares of Sizzle Common Stock will be cancelled and cease to exist);

(ii)     all of the outstanding whole warrants of Sizzle, entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Sizzle Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (collectively, the “Sizzle Warrants”) will be assumed by Pubco and converted into the right to receive a warrant to purchase one Pubco Ordinary Share (in lieu of Sizzle Common Stock) at the same exercise price (collectively, the “Pubco Warrants”), exercisable up to an aggregate of (including warrants which were components of publicly traded units of Sizzle described below) 7,750,000 Pubco Ordinary Shares; and

(iii)   EUR will receive approximately 73,529,412 Pubco Ordinary Shares in the Share Exchange, equal to the amount of shares consisting of (i) $750,000,000, divided by (ii) the redemption amount per share of Sizzle Common Stock payable to Sizzle stockholders in connection with the closing of the Business Combination as provided in the Merger Agreement (which is expected to be approximately $10.20 per share), and which we refer to as the Closing Share Consideration.

Upon the Effective Time, the outstanding publicly traded units of Sizzle will be separated into their component securities, consisting of (a) one share of Sizzle Common Stock and (b) one-half of one Sizzle Warrant (each of which shall be exchanged in accordance with the foregoing description). According to the Merger Agreement, each registered holder

of Sizzle Warrants will be eligible to have each whole Sizzle Warrant converted into one Pubco Warrant, following aggregation of such holder’s registered Sizzle Warrants, and rounded down to the nearest whole warrant following such aggregation of warrants, with no issuance of a fractional Pubco Warrant.

Up to an additional 7,352,941 Pubco Ordinary Shares will be contingently issuable to EUR, in the form of an earnout which is subject to certain terms and conditions relating to the price of Pubco Ordinary Shares, during the five year period following the consummation of the Business Combination, and which we refer to as the “Earnout Shares.” The Earnout Shares represent a number of Pubco Ordinary Shares equal to up to 10% of the Closing Share Consideration, and half (or 5%) are issuable if Pubco Ordinary Shares’ volume weighed average price, or VWAP (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of Pubco Ordinary Shares trades above $15 dollars per share, and the other half (or 5%) are issuable if the VWAP for Pubco Ordinary Shares trades above $20 per share, in each case for any twenty trading days in any thirty day trading days during such five year period. The Earnout Shares are also eligible to be issued, if not already paid, if during this period a change of control occurs in which the consideration per share would meet these thresholds for issuance of the Earnout Shares. For an explanation and estimate of the consideration in the Business Combination, see the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1) — Merger Consideration.”

The estimated total consideration in the Business Combination to EUR is $750 million consisting of the Closing Share Consideration and up to $75 million consisting of the Earnout Shares, if any Earnout Shares are issued according to their terms. It is anticipated that, immediately following completion of the Business Combination and if there are no redemptions by Sizzle’s public stockholders, Sizzle’s existing stockholders, including VO Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”), will own approximately 21.0% of the outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares (of which approximately 4.4% will be owned by the Sponsor and Sizzle’s directors and officers), Sizzle’s underwriters in connection with its initial public offering will own approximately 0.1% of the outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares, and EUR will own approximately 78.9% of the outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares. If there are redemptions by Sizzle’s public stockholders up to the maximum level presented for the Business Combination in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, immediately following completion of the Business Combination, Sizzle’s existing stockholders, including the Sponsor, will own approximately 6.4% of the outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares (of which approximately 5.2% will be owned by the Sponsor and Sizzle’s directors and officers), Sizzle’s underwriter in connection with its initial public offering will own approximately 0.2% of the outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares, and EUR will own approximately 93.4% of the outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares. These percentages do not include the Earnout Shares, or shares issuable in connection with any prospective Pubco compensation plan, and are calculated based on a number of assumptions as described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. For a discussion of these assumptions, see “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus — The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1) — Merger Consideration.”

At the special meeting, our stockholders will be asked to consider and vote upon the following proposals:

•        Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Business Combination described in this proxy statement/prospectus, including (a) adopting the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A, which, among other things, provides for the Share Exchange and the merger of Merger Sub with and into Sizzle, with each of Sizzle and the Company surviving as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco, and (b) approving the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and related agreements described in this proxy statement/prospectus (which we collectively refer to as the “Business Combination Proposal”);

•        Proposal No. 2 — The Charter Amendment Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve and adopt the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of Pubco (the “Proposed Charter”), in the form attached hereto as Annex B (which we refer to as the “Charter Amendments Proposal”);

•        Proposal No. 3 — The Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals — to consider and vote upon, on a non-binding advisory basis, certain governance provisions in the Proposed Charter, presented separately in accordance with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) requirements (which we refer to as the “Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals”);

 

Table of Contents

•        Proposal No. 4 — The Nasdaq Stock Issuance Proposal — to consider and vote on a proposal to approve, for purposes of complying with applicable listing rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), the issuance of more than 20% of the total issued and outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares in connection with the Business Combination (which we refer to as the “Nasdaq Proposal”);

•        Proposal No. 5 — The Incentive Plan Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Critical Metals Corp. 2023 Share Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”), effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination, including the authorization of the share reserve under the Incentive Plan, in substantially the form attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C (which we refer to as the “Incentive Plan Proposal”);

•        Proposal No. 6 — The ESPP Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Critical Metals Corp. 2023 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination, including the authorization of the share reserve under the ESPP, in substantially the form attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex D (which we refer to as the “ESPP Proposal”); and

•        Proposal No. 7 — The Adjournment Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of one or more proposals at the special meeting (which we refer to as the “Adjournment Proposal”).

Each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendments Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the ESPP Proposal is cross-conditioned on the approval of each other. Each of the Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals and the Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. Each of these proposals is more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, which we encourage you to read carefully and in its entirety. Unless waived in accordance with the Merger Agreement, the consummation of the Business Combination is also subject to customary closing conditions and a minimum cash condition that the funds that are in the Trust Account, together with the cash on Sizzle’s balance and the aggregate amount of gross proceeds from any subscription or investment agreement with respect to securities of Pubco entered into prior to Closing, equal $40 million, before payment of transaction expenses. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the parties to the Business Combination Agreement intend to obtain additional financing described in this condition with respect to Pubco, but there are currently no commitments for such additional financing.

The Sizzle Common Stock and Sizzle Warrants are currently listed on Nasdaq under the symbols “SZZL” and “SZZLW,” respectively. Although Pubco is not currently a public reporting company in any jurisdiction, following the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part and the Closing, Pubco will become subject to the reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Pubco intends to apply to list the Pubco Ordinary Shares (including the Pubco Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Pubco Warrants) on Nasdaq under the symbol “CRML” and the Pubco Warrants under the symbol “CRMLW,” upon the consummation of the Business Combination. It is a condition of the consummation of the Business Combination that the Pubco Ordinary Shares and the Pubco Warrants are approved for listing on Nasdaq, subject only to official notice of issuance thereof. While trading of the Pubco Ordinary Shares and the Pubco Warrants on Nasdaq is expected to begin on the first business day following the date of completion of the Business Combination, there can be no assurance that Pubco’s securities will be listed on Nasdaq or that a viable and active trading market will develop. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 64 of this proxy statement/prospectus for more information.

The Board of Directors of Sizzle (the “Board”) has fixed the close of business on            , 2023 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the special meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof. Stockholders should carefully read the accompanying Notice of Special Meeting and proxy statement/prospectus for a more complete statement of the proposals to be considered at the Special Meeting.

After careful consideration, the Board has unanimously approved and adopted the Merger Agreement and approved the Business Combination, has approved the other proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus, and has determined that it is advisable to consummate the Business Combination.

 

Table of Contents

The Sizzle Board of Directors recommends that its stockholders vote “FOR” the proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

This proxy statement/prospectus provides you with detailed information about the Business Combination and other matters to be considered at the special meeting. We urge you to read the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus including the financial statements and annexes and other documents referred to herein, carefully and in their entirety. In particular, when you consider the recommendation regarding these proposals by the Board, you should keep in mind that Sizzle’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or in addition to, or may conflict with, your interests as a stockholder of Sizzle. For instance, the Sponsor will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete a business combination that is less favorable to stockholders of Sizzle than liquidating Sizzle. In addition, you should carefully consider the matters discussed under “Risk Factors” beginning on page 64 of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. See also the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Sizzle’s Directors and Officers and Others in the Business Combination” for additional information.

Pursuant to our current certificate of incorporation, our public stockholders have redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination. Our public stockholders are not required to affirmatively vote for or against the Business Combination to redeem their shares of common stock. This means that public stockholders who hold shares of Sizzle Common Stock on or before            , 2023 (two (2) business days before the special meeting) will be eligible to elect to have their shares of Sizzle Common Stock redeemed for cash in connection with the special meeting, whether or not they are holders as of the Record Date, and whether or not such shares are voted at the special meeting. Sizzle public stockholders should carefully refer to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for the requirements and procedures of redemption.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, Pubco will be a “foreign private issuer,” as defined in the Exchange Act, and will be exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act that impose certain disclosure obligations and procedural requirements for proxy solicitations under Section 14 of the Exchange Act. In addition, Pubco’s officers, directors and principal shareholders will be exempt from the reporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Moreover, Pubco will not be required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act.

Further, Pubco will be a “controlled company” under Nasdaq listing standards. As a result of EUR’s voting control, EUR will effectively be able to determine the outcome of all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election and removal of directors (subject to the contractual designation rights set forth in the Proposed Charter and Investors Agreement). As a result of being able to appoint and remove a majority of the directors, EUR will effectively control mergers and acquisitions, payment of dividends, and other matters of corporate or management policy. The Investors Agreement will provide EUR with the right to nominate and appoint certain numbers of directors to the Pubco Board of Directors depending on its percentage ownership in Pubco, as described in more detail in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Investors Agreement.” Non-redeeming Sizzle shareholders will likely have a limited influence over Pubco following the Business Combination and Pubco shareholders will not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.

Pubco will be an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, and is therefore eligible to take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements otherwise applicable to other public companies.

We are providing this proxy statement/prospectus and accompanying proxy card to our stockholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the special meeting and at any adjournments or postponements of the special meeting.

Very truly yours,

At the Special Meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote upon the following proposals (the “Proposals”):

(1)    Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve and adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 24, 2022, among Sizzle, European Lithium Limited, an Australian Public Company limited by shares (“EUR”), European Lithium AT (Investments) Limited, a BVI business company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of EUR (the “Company”), Critical Metals Corp., a BVI business company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“Pubco”) and Project Wolf Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Merger Sub”) (as may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”). Subject to its terms and conditions, the Merger Agreement provides that Sizzle and the Company will become wholly owned subsidiaries of Pubco, a newly formed holding company. The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement we refer to herein as the “Business Combination.” A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A.

Pursuant to the Business Combination and Merger Agreement (a) Pubco will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company held by EUR in exchange for ordinary shares of Pubco, such that the Company becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco and EUR becomes shareholder of Pubco (the “Share Exchange”); and immediately thereafter (b) Merger Sub will merge with and into Sizzle, with Sizzle continuing as the surviving entity and wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco.

The Merger Agreement provides that at the effective time of the Business Combination (the “Effective Time”):

(i)     all of the outstanding shares of Sizzle’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Sizzle Common Stock”), will be exchanged for the right to receive the ordinary shares of Pubco, par value $0.001 per share (the “Pubco Ordinary Shares”) (following which exchange, all shares of Sizzle Common Stock will be cancelled and cease to exist);

Upon the Effective Time, the outstanding publicly traded units of Sizzle will be separated into their component securities, consisting of (a) one share of Sizzle Common Stock and (b) one-half of one Sizzle Warrant (each of which shall be exchanged in accordance with the foregoing description). According to the Merger Agreement, each registered holder of Sizzle Warrants will be eligible to have each whole

Sizzle Warrant converted into one Pubco Warrant, following aggregation of such holder’s registered Sizzle Warrants, and rounded down to the nearest whole warrant following such aggregation of warrants, with no issuance of a fractional Pubco Warrant.

Additional Pubco Ordinary Shares will be contingently issuable to EUR, in the form of an earnout which is subject to certain terms and conditions relating to the price of Pubco Ordinary Shares, during the five year period following the consummation of the Business Combination, and which we refer to as the Earnout Shares. The Earnout Shares represent a number of Pubco Ordinary Shares equal to up to 10% of the Closing Share Consideration, and half (or 5%) are issuable if the volume weighted average price, or VWAP (as defined in the Merger Agreement), of Pubco Ordinary Shares trades above $15 dollars per share, and the other half (or 5%) are issuable if the VWAP for Pubco Ordinary Shares trades above $20 per share, in each case for any twenty trading days in any thirty day trading days during such five year period. The Earnout Shares are also eligible to be issued, if not already paid, if during this period a change of control occurs in which the consideration per share would meet these thresholds for issuance of the Earnout Shares. For an explanation and estimate of the consideration in the Business Combination, see the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1) — Merger Consideration.”

(2)     Proposal No. 2 — The Charter Amendments Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of Pubco (the “Proposed Charter”), a copy of which is attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B, which we refer to as the “Charter Amendments Proposal,” and providing for, among other things, the following material differences from Sizzle’s current amended and restated certificate of incorporation:

Table of Contents

The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will be consummated only if the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendments Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the ESPP Proposal are approved at the Special Meeting. Each of these Proposals are cross-conditioned on each other. The Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals and the Adjournment Proposal are each not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. Unless waived in accordance with the Merger Agreement, the consummation of the Business Combination is also subject to customary closing conditions and a minimum cash condition that the funds that are in the Trust Account, together with the cash on Sizzle’s balance and the aggregate amount of gross proceeds from any subscription or investment agreement with respect to securities of Pubco, entered into prior to Closing, of at least $40 million, after giving effect to the completion and payment of any Redemptions and before payment of transaction expenses. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the parties to the Business Combination Agreement intend to obtain additional financing described in this condition with respect to Pubco, but there are currently no commitments for such additional financing.

Each of these proposals is more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, which we encourage you to read carefully and in its entirety before voting. Only holders of record of Sizzle Common Stock at the close of business on            , 2023 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of the Special Meeting and to vote at the Special Meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the Special Meeting. A complete list of Sizzle stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Special Meeting will be available for ten (10) days before the Special Meeting at the principal executive offices of Sizzle for inspection by stockholders during ordinary business hours for any purpose germane to the Special Meeting.

After careful consideration, the Board has unanimously approved and adopted the Merger Agreement and unanimously recommends that our stockholders vote “FOR” all of the proposals presented to our stockholders at the Special Meeting. When you consider the Board recommendation of these proposals, you should keep in mind that directors and officers of Sizzle have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a stockholder. See the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Sizzle’s Directors and Officers and Others in the Business Combination” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

Pursuant to Sizzle’s current certificate of incorporation, its public stockholders may demand that Sizzle redeem, upon the Closing of the Business Combination, shares of our Sizzle Common Stock then held by them for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit (as of two business days prior to the Closing of the Business Combination) in the trust account (the “Trust Account”) that holds the proceeds (including interest but less taxes payable) of Sizzle’s IPO. As of December 5, 2022, based on funds in the Trust Account of approximately $160.0 million on such date, the pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account for the redemption of public shares of Sizzle Common Stock was approximately $10.32 per share (less taxes paid or payable). Our public stockholders are not required to affirmatively vote for or against the Business Combination in order to redeem their shares of Sizzle Common Stock for cash. This means that public stockholders who hold shares of our Sizzle Common Stock on or before            , 2023 (two (2) business days before the Special Meeting) will be eligible to elect to have their shares of Sizzle Common Stock redeemed for cash in connection with the Special Meeting, whether or not they are holders as of the Record Date, and whether or not such shares are voted at the Special Meeting. To redeem their shares of Sizzle Common Stock for cash, our public stockholders can demand that Sizzle convert their public shares into cash and tender their shares to Sizzle’s transfer agent. Sizzle stockholders should carefully refer to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for the requirements and procedures of redemption. Holders of Sizzle Warrants do not have redemption rights with respect to such securities in connection with the Business Combination.

Our sponsor, VO Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (our “Sponsor”), and holders of our Common Stock issued prior to our IPO, their permitted transferees, and our officers and directors (collectively, the “Sizzle Initial Stockholders”), and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”), the representative of the underwriters in our IPO, and EBC have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any shares of Sizzle Common Stock held by them in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination (which waiver was provided in connection with Sizzle’s IPO and without any separate consideration paid in connection with providing such waiver), and such shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price. Currently, the Sponsor and Sizzle Initial Stockholders beneficially own 28.24% of issued and outstanding Sizzle Common Stock including 722,750 private placement shares and 5,425,000 founders shares, Cantor owns 47,250 private placement shares and EBC owns 75,600 EBC Shares, which together consisting of approximately 1% of issued and outstanding Sizzle Common Stock and Sizzle’s public stockholders beneficially own approximately 71%

of issued and outstanding Sizzle Common Stock. The Sizzle Initial Stockholders, which includes our Sponsor and our directors and officers, and Cantor have agreed to vote all of their founder shares, all of their private placement shares of Sizzle Common Stock and any Sizzle equity securities that they hold in favor of the Business Combination Proposal.

Important Information about U.S. GAAP AND IFRS

Sizzle’s financial statements included in this proxy statement/prospectus have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

The Company’s audited financial statements included in this proxy statement/prospectus have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”). Presentation of financial information in accordance with IFRS requires the Company’s management to make various estimates and assumptions which may impact the values shown in the Selected Historical Financial Information of the Company and the respective notes thereto. The actual values may differ from such assumptions.

Exchange Rates

Pubco’s reporting currency will be the U.S. dollar. The determination of the functional and reporting currency of each group company is based on the primary currency in which the group company operates. For Pubco, the Euro is the functional currency. The functional currency of Pubco’s subsidiaries will generally be the local currency.

The translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for assets and liabilities at the end of each reporting period based on the then current exchange rates. For revenue and expense accounts, an average monthly foreign currency rate is applied. Adjustments resulting from translating foreign functional currency financial statements into U.S. dollars will be recorded as part of a separate component of shareholders’ deficit and reported in Pubco’s financial statements. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses will be included in other income (expense), net for the period.

Some data are also based on good faith estimates, which are derived from internal company analyses, information, assumptions or judgments, as well as the independent sources referred to above. Statements as to industry position are based on market data currently available. Any estimates underlying such market-derived information and other factors could cause actual results to differ from those expressed in the independent parties’ estimates and in our estimates, and are subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Table of Contents

RISK FACTOR SUMMARY

The Company’s business and its ability to execute its strategy, the proposed Business Combination, and any investment in the securities of Pubco after the Business Combination are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond Pubco’s or the Company’s control and will be beyond the control of the Combined Company. You should carefully consider and evaluate all of the risks and uncertainties with respect to any investment in the securities of the Combined Company, including, but not limited to, the following and those discussed under “Risk Factors.” References below to the Company shall be deemed to also refer to Pubco and the post-Business Combination company, as the context requires or as appropriate.

Risks Relating to the Company’s Business and Industry

•        The Company’s project is at the development stage, and there are no guarantees that development of the project into a mine will occur or that such development will result in the commercial extraction of mineral deposits.

•        The Company may not deliver a definitive feasibility study supporting the economic viability of the Project.

•        The Company’s future performance is difficult to evaluate because it has a limited operating history in the mining, energy and resources sector.

•        The Company’s growth depends upon continued growth in demand for electric vehicles using high performance lithium compounds.

•        The Company’s long-term success will depend, in part, on its ability to generate revenue, achieve and maintain profitability, and develop positive cash flows from mining activities.

•        The market price of lithium will be significant in determining the Company’s success.

•        The Company’s mineral resource estimates may be materially different from mineral quantities we may ultimately recover, our life-of-mine estimates may prove inaccurate and market price fluctuations and changes in operating and capital costs may render mineral resources uneconomic to mine.

Risks Relating to Legal, Compliance and Regulations

•        The Company is reliant upon obtaining and renewing a number of governmental permits and approvals.

•        Organizations opposed to mining may disrupt or delay the Company’s mining projects.

Risks Related to the Company’s Projections

•        The Company has no operating history on which to base estimates of future operating costs and capital requirements, thus, the projections are based upon estimates and assumptions.

•        As further information becomes available through additional fieldwork and analysis, the Company’s estimates are likely to change and these changes may result in a reduction in our resources.

Risks Related to Australia

•        European Lithium will remain listed on the Australian Securities Exchange, creating additional regulatory requirements and potential liabilities that could occupy management’s time and efforts.

Risks Relating to Sizzle, Pubco and the Business Combination

•        If Sizzle does not consummate a business combination by the termination date of February 8, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation), Sizzle will have to liquidate, or seek approval of its stockholders to extend the termination date.

•        Following the consummation of the Business Combination, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of Pubco Ordinary Shares.

•        Sizzle will incur significant costs in connection with the Business Combination and if not consummated, Sizzle may not have sufficient cash available to pay such costs.

•        The working capital available to Pubco after the Business Combination will be reduced by any redemptions and transaction expenses in connection with the Business Combination.

•        If the funds held outside of our Trust Account are insufficient to allow us to operate through the closing of the Business Combination (or our termination date or other extension of such date), our ability to complete an initial business combination may be adversely affected.

•        Our independent registered public accounting firm’s report contains an explanatory paragraph that expresses substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

•        The Sponsor and Sizzle’s directors and officers, have conflicts of interest in determining to pursue the Business Combination with the Company,

•        There are risks to unaffiliated stockholders who become stockholders of the Combined Company through the Business Combination rather than acquiring securities of the Company or Pubco directly in an underwritten public offering, including no independent due diligence review by an underwriter and conflicts of interest of the Sponsor.

•        The process of taking a company public by means of a special purpose acquisition company is different from an underwritten public offering and may create risks for unaffiliated investors.

•        Concentration of ownership among the Company’s existing executive officers, directors and their affiliates may prevent new investors from influencing significant corporate decisions.

•        There can be no assurance that Pubco Ordinary Shares will be approved for listing on Nasdaq upon the Closing, or be able to comply with its listing standards.

•        The ability to execute Sizzle’s strategic plan could be negatively impacted by redemptions.

•        There is no guarantee that a Sizzle stockholder’s decision whether to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account will put the stockholder in a better future economic position.

•        The Sponsor and Sizzle’s directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may elect to purchase shares of Sizzle Common Stock from Sizzle’s stockholders, which may influence a vote on a proposed business combination and reduce the public float of Sizzle’s capital stock.

•        To complete the Business Combination, management’s focus and resources may be diverted from operational matters and other strategic opportunities.

•        The Company’s and Sizzle’s operations may be restricted before Closing by the Merger Agreement.

Risks Related to Ownership of Pubco Ordinary Shares

•        A market for the Company’s securities may not develop, or suffer as a result of limited industry reports by analysts.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
FOR STOCKHOLDERS OF SIZZLE

The following questions and answers briefly address some commonly asked questions about the proposals to be presented at the Special Meeting of Sizzle stockholders. The following questions and answers do not include all the information that is important to stockholders of Sizzle. We urge the stockholders of Sizzle to read carefully this entire proxy statement/prospectus, including the annexes and other documents referred to herein.

Q:     Why am I receiving this proxy statement/prospectus?

A:     Sizzle’s stockholders are being asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Business Combination contemplated by the Merger Agreement, among other proposals. Upon the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, each of Sizzle and the Company will become a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of a newly formed company, Pubco. A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A.

This proxy statement/prospectus and its annexes contain important information about the proposed Business Combination and the other matters to be acted upon at Sizzle’s Special Meeting. You should read this proxy statement/prospectus and its annexes and the other documents referred to herein carefully and in their entirety.

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT. YOU ARE URGED TO SUBMIT YOUR PROXIES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER CAREFULLY REVIEWING THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS AND ITS ANNEXES AND CAREFULLY CONSIDERING EACH OF THE PROPOSALS BEING PRESENTED AT THE SPECIAL MEETING.

Q:     What proposals are stockholders of Sizzle being asked to vote upon?

A:     Stockholders of Sizzle are being asked to vote on the following proposals:

(1)    The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1) — To approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, including the Business Combination. A summary of the Business Combination is set forth in the “Business Combination (Proposal 1)” section of this proxy statement/prospectus and a complete copy of the Merger Agreement is attached hereto as Annex A. You are encouraged to read them in their entirety.

(2)    The Charter Amendments Proposal (Proposal 2) — Assuming the Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1) is approved and adopted, to approve and adopt the Proposed Charter of Pubco, in the form appended to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B, and a summary of which is set forth in “The Charter Amendments Proposal (Proposal 2)” section of this proxy statement/prospectus, which provides for the following material differences from the Sizzle’s existing certificate of incorporation:

(a)     a single class of ordinary shares with 450,000,000 authorized shares; and

(b)    50,000,000 authorized preferred shares.

(3)    Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals (Proposal 3) — To consider and vote upon, on a non-binding basis, certain governance provisions in the Proposed Charter, presented separately in accordance with SEC requirements. A summary of these provisions is set forth in the “Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals (Proposal 3)” section of this proxy statement/prospectus.

(4)    The Nasdaq Stock Issuance Proposal (Proposal 4) — To approve, for purposes of complying with applicable listing rules of Nasdaq, the issuance of more than 20% of the total issued and outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares in connection with the Business Combination. A summary of this proposal is set forth in the “The Nasdaq Proposal (Proposal 4)” section of this proxy statement/prospectus.

(5)    The Incentive Plan Proposal (Proposal 5) — To approve the Incentive Plan, including the authorization of the share reserve under the Incentive Plan, in substantially the form attached hereto as Annex C. A summary of the Incentive Plan is set forth in the “The Incentive Plan (Proposal 5)” section of this proxy statement/prospectus.

11

Table of Contents

(6)    The ESPP Proposal (Proposal 6) — To approve the ESPP, including the authorization of the share reserve under the ESPP, in substantially the form attached hereto as Annex D. A summary of the ESPP is set forth in the “The ESPP (Proposal 6)” section of this proxy statement/prospectus.

(7)    The Adjournment Proposal (Proposal 7) — To consider and vote upon a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting of Sizzle to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Special Meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve one or more of the proposals at the special meeting.

Q:     Are the proposals conditioned on one another?

A:     Yes. We refer to the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendments Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the ESPP Proposal as “Condition Precedent Proposals”. The Business Combination is conditioned on the approval of each of the Condition Precedent Proposals at the special meeting. The Condition Precedent Proposals are each conditioned on each other. If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the other Proposals, other than the Adjournment Proposal, will not be presented to the stockholders of Sizzle at the Special Meeting. The Adjournment Proposal, as well as the Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals in each case is not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. It is important for you to note that in the event that the Business Combination Proposal does not receive the requisite vote for approval, after taking into account any approved adjournment or postponement, if necessary, then we will not consummate the Business Combination. If Sizzle does not consummate the Business Combination and fails to complete an initial business combination by February 8, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation), Sizzle will be required to dissolve and liquidate its Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to its public stockholders. On December 1, 2022, Sizzle filed a definitive proxy statement in connection with a special meeting of its stockholders in lieu of an annual meeting, scheduled for December 19, 2022 (the “Extension Meeting”), pursuant to which Sizzle will seek the approval of its stockholders to extend the expiration of the period in which it must complete a business combination from February 8, 2023 to August 8, 2023. Sizzle’s public stockholders will have the ability to redeem their public shares in connection with the Extension Meeting, which would result in a smaller number of public shares outstanding following the Extension Meeting. On December 16, 2022, Sizzle issued a press release announcing that the Extension Meeting has been postponed to a future to-be-determined date at the beginning of February 2023.

Q:     What will happen in the Business Combination?

A:     Upon consummation of the Business Combination, Sizzle and the Company will each become direct, wholly owned subsidiaries of a newly-formed holding company, Pubco. The merger consideration generally will be paid in Pubco Ordinary Shares. The merger consideration in the Business Combination to EUR is the number of Pubco Ordinary Shares equal to the amount of shares consisting of (i) $750,000,000, divided by (ii) the redemption amount per share of Sizzle Common Stock payable to Sizzle stockholders in connection with the closing of the Business Combination as provided in the Merger Agreement, and which we refer to as the Closing Share Consideration.

The Merger Agreement provides that at the Effective Time of the Business Combination:

(i)     all of the Sizzle Common Stock will be exchanged for the right to receive the Pubco Ordinary Shares (following which exchange all shares of Sizzle Common Stock will be cancelled and cease to exist); and

(ii)    all of the outstanding whole Sizzle Warrants will be assumed by Pubco and converted into the right to receive in each case a Pubco Warrant; and

(iii)   EUR will receive Pubco Ordinary Shares in the Share Exchange, equal to the amount of shares consisting of (i) $750,000,000, divided by (ii) the redemption amount per share of Sizzle Common Stock payable to Sizzle stockholders in connection with the closing of the Business Combination as provided in the Merger Agreement, and which we refer to as the Closing Share Consideration.

12

Table of Contents

Upon the Effective Time, the outstanding publicly traded units of Sizzle will be separated into their component securities, consisting of (a) one share of Sizzle Common Stock and (b) one-half of one Sizzle Warrant (each of which shall be exchanged in accordance with the foregoing description). According to the Merger Agreement, each registered holder of Sizzle Warrants will be eligible to have each whole Sizzle Warrant converted into one Pubco Warrant, following aggregation of such holder’s registered Sizzle Warrants, and rounded down to the nearest whole warrant following such aggregation of warrants, with no issuance of a fractional Pubco Warrant.

Additional Pubco Ordinary Shares will be contingently issuable to EUR, in the form of an earnout which is subject to certain terms and conditions relating to the price of Pubco Ordinary Shares, during the five year period following the consummation of the Business Combination, and which we refer to as the Earnout Shares. The Earnout Shares represent a number of Pubco Ordinary Shares equal to up to 10% of the Closing Share Consideration, and half (or 5%) are issuable if the VWAP (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of Pubco Ordinary Shares trades above $15 dollars per share, and the other half (or 5%) are issuable if the VWAP for Pubco Ordinary Shares trades above $20 per share, in each case for any twenty trading days in any thirty day trading days during such five year period. The Earnout Shares are also eligible to be issued, if not already paid, if during this period a change of control occurs in which the consideration per share would meet these thresholds for issuance of the Earnout Shares.

For an explanation and estimate of the consideration in the Business Combination, see the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1) — Merger Consideration.”

Q:     What conditions must be satisfied to complete the Business Combination?

A:     In addition to approval of the Condition Precedent Proposals, there are a number of closing conditions in the Merger Agreement, including obtaining majority approval of the Business Combination by the holders of EUR shares which are publicly traded on the Australian Stock Exchange (the “ASX”) at a shareholder’s meeting. EUR’s Notice of Annual General Meeting was filed with the ASX on December 7, 2022 and is expected to be held on January 20, 2023. For a summary of the conditions that must be satisfied or waived prior to the Closing of the Business Combination, see the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal — The Merger Agreement — Conditions to Consummation of the Merger” and “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus — The Proposals — The Business Combination Proposal.”

Q:     Why is Sizzle providing stockholders with the opportunity to vote on the Business Combination?

A:     Under the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation, Sizzle must provide all holders of its public shares with the opportunity to have their public shares redeemed upon the consummation of Sizzle’s initial business combination either in conjunction with a tender offer or in conjunction with a stockholder vote. For legal and other reasons, Sizzle has elected to provide its stockholders with the opportunity to have their public shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder vote rather than a tender offer. Therefore, Sizzle is seeking to obtain the approval of its stockholders of the Business Combination Proposal in order to allow its public stockholders to effectuate redemptions of their public shares in connection with the closing of the Business Combination.

Q:     How many votes do I have at the Special Meeting?

A:     Sizzle stockholders are entitled to one vote at the Special Meeting for each share of Sizzle Common Stock held of record as of            , 2023, the Record Date for the Special Meeting. As of December 5, 2022 there were issued and outstanding 15,500,000 public shares of Sizzle Common Stock, 5,425,000 founder shares, 75,600 private placement shares held by EBC, 47,250 private placement shares held by Cantor and 722,750 private placement shares held by the Sponsor and Sizzle officers and directors.

Q:     What vote is required to approve the proposals presented at the Special Meeting?

A:     The approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal and Charter Amendments Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Sizzle Common Stock as of the Record Date. Accordingly, a Sizzle stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting or an abstention will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal or the Charter Amendment Proposal because an absolute percentage of affirmative votes is required to approve these proposals, regardless of how many votes are cast.

13

Table of Contents

In contrast, approval of the remaining Proposals, in each case require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Sizzle Common Stock cast by the stockholders represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. Accordingly, a Sizzle stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting will not be counted towards the number of shares of Sizzle Common Stock required to validly establish a quorum, and if a valid quorum is otherwise established, it will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on these remaining Proposals.

If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the other Condition Precedent Proposals will not be submitted to a vote. The approval of the Condition Precedent Proposals are preconditions to the consummation of the Business Combination.

The Sizzle Initial Stockholders, which includes our Sponsor and our directors and officers, have agreed to vote all of their founder shares, all of their private placement shares of Sizzle Common Stock and any Sizzle equity securities that they hold in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. As a result, assuming there is a quorum at the Special Meeting, and assuming that Cantor and EBC also voted in favor of the applicable Proposal, we may need as few as 4,624,701, or approximately 30% of our 15,500,000 public shares, to be voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and Charter Amendments Proposal (and as few as only 1,479,401, or approximately 9.5%, of our 15,500,000 public shares in favor of the remaining Condition Precedent Proposals), in order to have our Business Combination and the Condition Precedent Proposals approved.

Q:     What happens if a substantial number of the public stockholders vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and exercise their redemption rights?

A:     Our public stockholders are not required to vote in respect of the Business Combination in order to exercise their redemption rights. Accordingly, the Business Combination may be consummated even though the funds available from the Trust Account and the number of public stockholders are reduced as a result of redemptions by holders of our public shares.

The Merger Agreement provides that the obligations of EUR to consummate the Business Combination are conditioned on, among other things, the satisfaction of the Minimum Cash Condition. If such condition is not met, and such condition is not waived under the terms of the Merger Agreement, then the Merger Agreement could terminate and the proposed Business Combination may not be consummated. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the parties to the Business Combination Agreement intend to obtain additional financing described in this condition with respect to Pubco, but there are currently no commitments for such additional financing. There can be no assurance that EUR would waive the Minimum Cash Condition. In addition, pursuant to Sizzle’s existing certificate of incorporation in no event will we redeem public shares in an amount that would cause Sizzle’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) to be less than $5,000,001.

Q:     Did Sizzle’s Board obtain a fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination?

A:     Yes. Sizzle’s Board obtained an opinion from Marshall & Stevens, dated October 20, 2022.

Please see the section entitled “Opinion of Marshall & Stevens” and the opinion of Marshall & Stevens attached hereto as Annex E for additional information.

Q:     May Sizzle, the Sponsor or Sizzle’s directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates purchase shares in connection with the Business Combination?

A:     The Sponsor and Sizzle’s directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase Sizzle Common Stock in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or after the Closing, including from holders of Sizzle Common Stock who would have otherwise exercised their redemption rights. However, the Sponsor, directors, officers and their affiliates have no current commitments or plans to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions at the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. None of the Sponsor, or Sizzle’s directors, officers or advisors or their respective

14

Table of Contents

affiliates will make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller or during a restricted period under Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Any such purchase after the Record Date would include a contractual acknowledgement that the selling shareholder, although still the record holder of Sizzle Common Stock, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event the Sponsor or Sizzle’s directors, officers or advisors or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from holders of public shares who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. Any such privately negotiated purchases may be effected at purchase prices that are in excess of the per-share pro rata portion of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account. The purpose of these purchases could be to vote such shares in favor of the Proposals contained herein, including the Business Combination Proposal and the Charter Amendments, could be to obtain stockholder approval of the Proposals, and could be to increase the amount of cash available to Sizzle for use in the Business Combination.

Unlike our Sponsor’s and Sizzle Initial Stockholders’ holdings currently, such newly purchased shares (if any) by those purchasers would not be subject to a lock-up period under the terms of our Sponsor Support Agreement. However, these newly purchased shares would be subject to limitations on resale under Rule 144 of the Securities Act as “control securities,” to the extent those shares were acquired by an affiliate of Sizzle, unless they are registered on a subsequent registration statement filed under the Securities Act. Limitations on resale would require those affiliated purchasers of such newly purchased shares to hold them for at least one year (from the date Pubco files certain information on Form 8-K following the Closing in accordance with rules applicable to special purpose acquisition companies), assuming they are not registered on a registration statement following the Closing and Pubco has fully complied with its reporting requirements and other requirements under Rule 144. When eligible to be sold, such securities if not registered under such a registration statement would be limited by applicable requirements of Rule 144, including limitations in their manner of sale and to the volume of sales eligible under Rule 144.

Q:     What constitutes a quorum at the Special Meeting?

A:     The presence, in person or by proxy, at the Special Meeting of the holders of shares of outstanding capital stock of Sizzle representing a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of Sizzle entitled to vote at such meeting shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. In the absence of a quorum, the chairman of the meeting has the power to adjourn the Special Meeting. As of the Record Date,            shares of Sizzle Common Stock would be required to achieve a quorum assuming Sizzle has shares of Sizzle Common Stock issued and outstanding. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, 10,885,301 shares of Sizzle Common Stock would be required to achieve a quorum assuming Sizzle has 21,770,600 shares of Sizzle Common Stock issued and outstanding.

Q:     What equity stake will current stockholders of Sizzle and EUR hold in Pubco after the Closing?

A:     As of December 5, 2022 there were 21,770,600 shares of Sizzle Common Stock issued and outstanding. Sizzle’s public stockholders currently own approximately 15,500,000 shares of Sizzle Common Stock, equal to approximately 71% of issued and outstanding Sizzle Common Stock, and our Sponsor together with our Initial Stockholders including our directors and officers currently own approximately 722,750 private placement shares and 5,425,000 founders shares equal to 28% of issued and outstanding Sizzle Common Stock, Cantor owns 47,250 private placement shares and EBC owns 75,600 EBC Shares, together consisting of approximately 1% of issued and outstanding Sizzle Common Stock.

It is anticipated that, immediately following completion of the Business Combination and if there are no redemptions by Sizzle’s public stockholders, Sizzle’s existing stockholders, including VO Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”), will own approximately 21.0% of the outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares (of which approximately 4.4% will be owned by the Sponsor and Sizzle’s officers and directors), Cantor and EBC will own approximately 0.1% of the outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares, and EUR will own approximately 78.9% of the outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares. If there are redemptions by Sizzle’s public stockholders up to the maximum level presented for the Business Combination in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, immediately following completion of the Business Combination, Sizzle’s existing stockholders, including the Sponsor, will own approximately 6.4% of the outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares (of which approximately

15

Table of Contents

5.2% will be owned by the Sponsor and Sizzle’s officers and directors), Cantor and EBC will own approximately 0.2% of the outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares, and EUR will own approximately 93.4% of the outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares.

These percentages do not include the Earnout Shares, or shares issuable in connection with any prospective Pubco compensation plan, and are calculated based on a number of assumptions as described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. For a discussion of these assumptions, see “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus — The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1) — Merger Consideration.”

If the actual facts are different than these assumptions (which they are likely to be), the percentage ownership in Pubco will be different. See “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus — Impact of the Business Combination on Sizzle’s Public Float” and “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” for further information.

The following table illustrates varying ownership levels of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Pubco, assuming varying levels of redemptions by Sizzle’s public stockholders:

(1)      Please see the table below entitled “Additional Dilution Sources” showing dilution from exercise of Sizzle Warrant above.

(2)      Amount shown represents share redemption levels reflecting 50% of the redeemable public shares outstanding (approximately 7,750,000 shares).

(3)      Assumes that approximately 93.9% of Sizzle’s outstanding public shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, which is the maximum permitted taking into account the minimum tangible net assets.

The ownership percentages set forth above and in the tables below include the shares issuable to the parties listed, but do not take into account (i) any shares reserved for issuance under the Incentive Plan or ESPP, (ii) the issuance of any shares relating to any additional private placement shares that are issued or issuable to our Sponsor pursuant to the conversion of the Sponsor’s working capital loans made to Sizzle, (iii) any issuance of shares underlying the Sizzle Warrants (which after the Business Combination, will be exchanged for the Pubco Warrants), (iv) the Earnout Shares, (v) any backstop commitments or capital raising transactions, or (vi) any adjustments to the Merger Consideration payable to EUR pursuant to terms set forth in the Merger Agreement. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” for further information regarding the various redemption scenarios and the assumptions used in each.

Share ownership and the related voting power presented under each redemptions scenario in the table above are only presented for illustrative purposes. Sizzle cannot predict how many Sizzle public stockholders will exercise their right to have their shares redeemed for cash. As a result, the redemption amount and the number of public shares redeemed in connection with the Business Combination may differ from the amounts presented above. As such, the ownership percentages of current Sizzle stockholders may also differ from the presentation above if the actual redemptions are different from these assumptions.

In addition, the following table illustrates varying ownership levels of holders of Sizzle Warrants in Pubco Ordinary Shares immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination based on the varying levels of redemptions by the public shareholders, on a fully diluted basis, showing full exercise of Sizzle Warrants (which upon the occurrence of the Business Combination are exchanged for Pubco Warrants). The assumptions discussed above continue to apply other than that exercise of Sizzle Warrants. The table below does not adjust present adjustment for all of the holders described above, on a percentage basis, but only

Table of Contents

presents the percentages for holders of Sizzle Warrants assuming they exercised their warrants immediately after the closing of the Business Combination (although the terms of the Sizzle Warrant only allow exercise beginning 30 days after the Closing and only at an exercise price of $11.50 per share). The Sizzle Warrants are not subject to redemption, and accordingly will remain outstanding under any referenced redemption scenario, although given the exercise price of $11.50 per share they are unlikely to be exercised unless Pubco Ordinary Shares trade above such exercise price:

(1)      All share numbers and percentages for the “Additional Dilution Sources” are presented without the potential reduction of any amounts paid by the holders of the given “Additional Dilution Sources” and therefore may overstate the presentation of dilution. Calculation does not give effect to the exercise price of $11.50 paid upon exercise of the Sizzle Warrants.

(2)      Amount shown represents share redemption levels reflecting 50% of the redeemable public shares outstanding (approximately 7,750,000 shares).

(3)      Assumes that approximately 93.9% of Sizzle’s outstanding public shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination.

(4)      Assumes exercise of all Sizzle Warrants exercisable to purchase 7,750,000 shares of Sizzle Common Stock. Assumes exchange of all Sizzle Warrants for Pubco Warrants in connection with the Business Combination.

In addition to the changes in percentage ownership depicted above, variation in the levels of redemptions will impact the dilutive effect of certain equity issuances related to the Business Combination, which would not otherwise be present in an underwritten public offering. Increasing levels of redemptions will increase the dilutive effect of these issuances on non-redeeming holders of our public shares.

The following table shows the dilutive effect and the effect on the per share value of Pubco Ordinary Shares held by non-redeeming holders of Sizzle Common Stock under a range of redemption scenarios and Sizzle Warrant exercise scenarios:

Q:     What are the effective deferred underwriting fees on a percentage basis for Sizzle Common Stock based on the level of redemptions?

A:     Approximately $8,150,000 of deferred underwriting fees related to the IPO are conditioned upon completion of an initial business combination by Sizzle, which fees are not impacted by the size of such transaction or the level of redemptions associated therewith. The following table illustrates the effective deferred underwriting fee on a percentage basis for Sizzle Common Stock at each redemption level identified below.

***    Assuming a trading price of $10.20 share.

The level of redemptions will also impact the effective deferred underwriting fee per share of our public shares incurred in connection with the IPO and payable upon the completion of the Business Combination. Sizzle incurred $8,150,000 in deferred underwriting fees. Assuming no exercise of Sizzle Warrants, in a no redemption scenario, the effective deferred underwriting fee would be approximately $0.0874 per public share on a pro forma basis (or 5.1% of the value of shares assuming a trading price of $10.20 per public share). In a medium redemption scenario in which 50% of the shares assumed to be redeemed under the maximum redemption scenario are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, the effective deferred underwriting fee would be approximately $0.0953 per public share on a pro forma basis (or 10.2% of the value of shares assuming a trading price of $10.20 per share). In the maximum redemption scenario, the effective deferred underwriting fee would be approximately $0.1036 per public share on a pro forma basis (or 174.1% of the value of shares assuming a trading price of $10.20 per share).

Q:     How will the Sponsor and our directors and officers vote?

A:     Our Sponsor together with our Initial Stockholders including our directors and officers currently own approximately 722,750 private placement shares and 5,425,000 founders shares equal to 28% of issued and outstanding Sizzle Common Stock. The Sizzle Initial Stockholders, which includes our Sponsor and our directors and officers, have agreed to vote all of their founder shares, all of their private placement shares of Sizzle Common Stock and any Sizzle equity securities that they hold in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. As a result, assuming there is a quorum at the Special Meeting, and assuming that Cantor and EBC also voted in favor of the applicable Proposal, we may need as few as 4,624,701, or approximately 30% of our 15,500,000 public shares, to be voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and Charter Amendments Proposal (and as few as only 1,479,401, or approximately 9.5%, of our 15,500,000 public shares in favor of the remaining Condition Precedent Proposals), in order to have our Business Combination and the Condition Precedent Proposals approved.

Q:     What interests do Sizzle’s current officers and directors have in the Business Combination?

A:     The Sponsor, members of Sizzle’s Board and its executive officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) your interest. These interests include, among other things:

•        If the Business Combination with the Company or another business combination is not consummated by February 8, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation), Sizzle will cease all operations except for the purpose of

18

Table of Contents

winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the founders shares held by the Sponsor and certain directors and officers, which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to the Sizzle IPO, would be worthless because the holders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. Such shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $55.8 million based upon the closing price of $10.28 per share on Nasdaq on December 5, 2022 (and assuming no reduction in value based on them being restricted securities, or re-valuation of the securities in connection with the Business Combination). On the other hand, if the Business Combination is consummated, each outstanding share of Sizzle Common Stock will be converted into one Pubco Ordinary Share.

•        If the Business Combination with the Company or another business combination is not consummated by February 8, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation), Sizzle will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the 722,750 private placement shares held by the Sponsor would be worthless because the holders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares Such private placement shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $7.4 million based upon the closing price of $10.28 per share of Sizzle Common Stock on Nasdaq on December 5, 2022 (and assuming no reduction in value based on them being restricted securities, or re-valuation of the securities in connection with the Business Combination).

•        If Sizzle is unable to complete a business combination within the required time period under the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation, the Sponsor will be liable under certain circumstances described herein to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of potential target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by Sizzle for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to Sizzle. If Sizzle consummates a business combination, on the other hand, Sizzle and ultimately the combined company will be liable for all such claims.

•        The Sponsor, as well as Sizzle’s officers and directors, and their affiliates, are entitled to reimbursement of certain out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with identifying, investigating, negotiating and completing a business combination. However, if Sizzle fails to consummate a business combination by February 8, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation), they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. Accordingly, Sizzle may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the Business Combination or another business combination is not consummated within such period (none of such expenses were incurred that had not been reimbursed as of September 30, 2022);

•        Based on the difference in the purchase price of $0.004 that the Sponsor paid for each of the founders shares, as compared to the purchase price of $10.00 per unit sold in the IPO, the Sponsor may earn a positive rate of return even if the share price of the combined company after the Closing falls below the price initially paid for the units in the IPO and the public shareholders experience a negative rate of return following the Closing of the Business Combination.

•        The Merger Agreement provides for the continued indemnification of Sizzle’s current directors and officers and the continuation of directors and officers liability insurance covering Sizzle’s current directors and officers.

•        The Sponsor, officers and directors (or their affiliates) may make loans from time to time to Sizzle to fund certain capital requirements. The Sponsor agreed to loan Sizzle an aggregate of up to $150,000, of which approximately $153,127 was outstanding as of September 30, 2022 (as the note is currently without fixed terms). The Sponsor, its affiliates and Sizzle’s officers and directors have the Promissory Note outstanding to Sizzle. Additional loans may be made after the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the loans will not be repaid and will be forgiven except to the extent there are funds available to Sizzle outside of the Trust Account.

•        Carolyn Trabuco will be the Sizzle designee to the Pubco Board upon the effectiveness of the Business Combination. As a director, in the future, Ms. Trabuco may receive any cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the Pubco Board determines to pay to its directors.

In addition to the interests of Sizzle’s directors and officers in the Business Combination, Sizzle stockholders should be aware that the certain other persons may have financial interests that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Sizzle stockholders, including:

•        Cantor, Sizzle’s underwriter in the IPO, will be entitled to receive a deferred underwriting commission and a placement agency fee upon completion of the Business Combination;

•        Cantor purchased 47,250 representative shares from Sizzle for $10.00 per share. This purchase took place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of the Sizzle IPO and the subsequent partial exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option. Such representative shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $485,730 based upon the closing price of $10.28 per share on Nasdaq on December 5, 2022. The representative shares will become worthless if Sizzle does not consummate a business combination by February 8, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation). On the other hand, if the Business Combination is consummated, each outstanding representative share will be exchanged for one share of Pubco; and

•        EBC owns an aggregate of 75,600 EBC shares. Such EBC shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $777,168 based upon the closing price of $10.28 per share on Nasdaq on December 5, 2022. The EBC shares will become worthless if Sizzle does not consummate a business combination by February 8, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation). On the other hand, if the Business Combination is consummated, each outstanding EBC share will be exchanged for one share of Pubco.

These interests may influence Sizzle’s directors in making their recommendation that you vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal, and the transactions contemplated thereby.

Q:     What happens if I sell my shares of Sizzle Common Stock before the Special Meeting?

A:     The Record Date is earlier than the date of the Special Meeting. If you transfer your shares of Sizzle Common Stock after the Record Date, but before the Special Meeting, unless the transferee obtains from you a proxy to vote those shares, you will retain your right to vote at the Special Meeting. However, you will not be able to seek redemption of your shares because you will no longer be able to deliver them for cancellation upon consummation of the Business Combination in accordance with the provisions described herein. If you transfer your shares of Sizzle Common Stock prior to the Record Date, you will have no right to vote those shares at the Special Meeting.

Q:     What happens if the Business Combination Proposal is not approved?

A:     Pursuant to the amended Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation, if the Business Combination Proposal is not approved and Sizzle does not otherwise consummate an alternative business combination by February 8, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation), Sizzle will be required to dissolve and liquidate its Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the public stockholders.

Q:     Do I have redemption rights?

A:     Pursuant to the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation, holders of public shares may elect to have their shares redeemed for cash at the applicable redemption price per share calculated in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation. As of December 5, 2022, based on funds in the Trust Account of approximately $160.0 million on such date, the pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account for the redemption of public shares of Sizzle Common Stock was approximately $10.32 per share (less taxes paid or payable). It is anticipated that the per share redemption price will be approximately $10.20 (net of taxes payable on accrued interest in the Trust Account) at the closing of the Business Combination, which is anticipated to occur during the first half of 2023. If a holder exercises its redemption rights, then such holder will be exchanging its shares of Sizzle Common Stock for cash. Such a holder will be entitled to receive cash for its public shares only if it

20

Table of Contents

properly demands redemption and delivers its shares (either physically or electronically) to Sizzle’s transfer agent prior to the Special Meeting. See the question titled “How do I exercise my redemption rights?” below and the section titled “Special Meeting of Sizzle Stockholders — Redemption Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your public shares for cash.

Holders of Sizzle Warrants do not have redemption rights with respect to their Sizzle Warrants. At the Closing of the Business Combination, the Sizzle Warrants will be exchanged for Pubco Warrants.

Holders of our public shares who also hold Sizzle Warrants may elect to redeem their public shares, and still retain their Sizzle Warrants. The value of our Sizzle Warrants based on a recent trading price as of December 5, 2022 was $0.3 million. Public stockholders who redeem their shares of Sizzle Common Stock may continue to hold any Sizzle Warrants that they owned prior to redemption, which results in additional dilution to non-redeeming holders upon exercise of such Sizzle Warrants, if despite such redemptions, the Business Combination was consummated. Assuming the maximum redemption of the shares of Sizzle Common Stock held by the redeeming holders of Sizzle public shares, up to 7,750,000 publicly traded Sizzle Warrants would be retained by redeeming holders of Sizzle public shares (assuming all such holders elected not to exercise their warrants, and assuming the Business Combination occurred despite such redemptions, thereby permitting the exercise of Sizzle Warrants following the Closing) with an aggregate market value of $2,325,000, based on the market price of $0.30 per Sizzle Warrant as of December 5, 2023.

As indicated by the foregoing reduction in expected prices upon maximum redemptions, there are material risks relating to electing to redeem your public shares (and redemptions generally), relating to the value of your Sizzle Warrants. For more information see “Risk Factors — Our holders of Sizzle Warrants may elect to redeem their public shares while retaining their Sizzle Warrants, although if redemptions exceed the threshold allowable for us to consummate the Business Combination, the Sizzle Warrants will expire worthless.”

For information about the per share value of Sizzle Common Stock given different levels of redemptions, see “Questions and Answers — What equity stake will current stockholders of Sizzle and EUR hold in Pubco after the Closing?”

If in excess of the maximum redemptions occur, and as a result we are unable to consummate the Business Combination, because your Sizzle Warrants are only exercisable 30 days following a business combination, if we do not consummate a business combination by February 8, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation), and we are required to liquidate, your Sizzle Warrants will not be exercisable and expire worthless.

Q:     Will how I vote affect my ability to exercise redemption rights?

A:     No. You may exercise your redemption rights whether or not you attend or vote your shares of Sizzle Common Stock at the Special Meeting, and regardless of how you vote your shares with respect to the Business Combination Proposal or any other proposal described by this proxy statement/prospectus. As a result, the Merger Agreement can be approved by stockholders who will redeem their shares and no longer remain stockholders, leaving stockholders who choose not to redeem their shares holding shares in a company with a potentially less liquid trading market, fewer stockholders, potentially less cash and the potential inability to meet the listing standards of Nasdaq.

Q:     How do I exercise my redemption rights?

A:     In order to exercise your redemption rights, you must, prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on            , 2023 (two (2) business days before the Special Meeting), tender your shares physically or electronically and submit a request in writing that we redeem your public shares for cash to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent, at the following address:

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
One State Street Plaza, 30th Floor
New York, New York 10004
Attn: Mark Zimkind

Table of Contents

Stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights and opting to deliver physical certificates should allot sufficient time to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent and time to effect delivery. It is Sizzle’s understanding that stockholders should generally allot at least two (2) weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, Sizzle does not have any control over this process and it may take longer than two weeks. Stockholders who hold their shares in street name will have to coordinate with their bank, broker or other nominee to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically.

Any demand for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests and thereafter, with our consent, until the vote is taken with respect to the Business Combination. If you delivered your shares for redemption to our transfer agent and decide within the required timeframe not to exercise your redemption rights, you may request that our transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting our transfer agent at the phone number or address listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below.

Q:     What are the federal income tax consequences of exercising my redemption rights?

A:     Sizzle stockholders who exercise their redemption rights to receive cash in exchange for their shares of Sizzle Common Stock generally will be required to treat the transaction as a sale of such shares and recognize gain or loss upon the redemption in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of cash received and the tax basis of the shares of such common stock redeemed. Such gain or loss should be treated as capital gain or loss if such shares were held as a capital asset on the date of the redemption. The redemption, however, may be treated as a distribution to a redeeming stockholder for U.S. federal income tax purposes if the redemption does not effect a sufficient reduction (as determined under applicable federal income tax law) in the redeeming stockholder’s percentage ownership in us (whether such ownership is direct or through the application of certain attribution and constructive ownership rules). Any amounts treated as such a distribution will constitute a dividend to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits as measured for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any amounts treated as a distribution and that are in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits will reduce the redeeming stockholder’s basis in his or her redeemed shares of Sizzle Common Stock, and any remaining amount will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of Sizzle Common Stock. These tax consequences are described in more detail in the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.” We urge you to consult your tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of exercising your redemption rights.

Q:     What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences if I do not exercise my redemption rights and instead participate in the Business Combination?

A:     It is intended that the Business Combination will qualify as part of an exchange described in Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which we refer to as the Code. If the Business Combination qualifies as part of an exchange described in Section 351, then U.S. Holders (as defined in the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”) of Sizzle Common Stock who do not exercise their redemption rights and who participate in the Business Combination generally will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the exchange of Sizzle Common Stock for Pubco Ordinary Shares. You are strongly urged to consult with a tax advisor to determine the particular U.S. federal, state or local or foreign income or other tax consequences of your participation in the Business Combination. See “The Business Combination Proposal — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

Q:     If I am a warrant holder, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my warrants?

A:     No. The holders of Sizzle Warrants have no redemption rights with respect to such warrants.

Q:     Do I have appraisal rights in connection with the proposed Business Combination?

A:     Under the DGCL, there are no appraisal rights available to holders of shares of Sizzle Common Stock or holders of our warrants in connection with the Business Combination.

Q:     What happens to the funds held in the Trust Account upon consummation of the Business Combination?

A:     If the Business Combination is consummated, the funds held in the Trust Account will be released to pay:

•        Sizzle stockholders who properly exercise their redemption rights;

•        $8,150,000 of deferred underwriting fees to Cantor and underwriters in connection with the IPO;

•        certain other fees, costs and expenses (including regulatory fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printer fees, and other professional fees) that were incurred by Sizzle or EUR in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination and pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement;

•        any loans owed by Sizzle to its Sponsor for any Sizzle transaction expenses or other administrative expenses incurred by Sizzle; and

•        for general corporate purposes including, but not limited to, working capital for operations.

Q:     What happens if the Business Combination is not consummated?

A:     There are certain circumstances under which the Merger Agreement may be terminated. See the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal — Merger Agreement” for information regarding the parties’ specific termination rights.

If, as a result of the termination of the Merger Agreement or otherwise, Sizzle is unable to complete the Business Combination or another initial business combination transaction by February 8, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation), the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation provides that it will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten (10) business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including any interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account net of interest not previously released to Sizzle to pay taxes payable and up to $100,000 to pay dissolution expenses, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Holders of founder shares have waived any right to any liquidation distribution with respect to those shares.

In the event of liquidation, there will be no distribution with respect to Sizzle’s outstanding warrants. Accordingly, the warrants will expire worthless.

Q:     When is the Business Combination expected to be completed?

A:     The closing is expected to take place in the first half of 2023.

For a description of the conditions to the completion of the Business Combination, see the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal.”

Q:     What will Sizzle stockholders receive in the Business Combination?

A:     Upon completion of the Business Combination, each outstanding share of Sizzle Common Stock will be exchanged for one Pubco Ordinary Share. Shares held by Sizzle as treasury stock or that are owned by Sizzle, which we refer to as the Sizzle excluded shares, will not be exchanged and will be cancelled.

23

Table of Contents

Q:     What will Sizzle warrant holders receive in the Business Combination?

A:     Upon completion of the Business Combination, all of the warrants exercisable into Sizzle Common Stock will be converted into warrants exercisable into Pubco Ordinary Shares having the same exercise price and other terms and conditions as the original warrants.

Q:     If I am a Sizzle Warrant holder, will my warrants become exercisable for Pubco Ordinary Shares if the Business Combination is consummated?

A:     Upon completion of the Business Combination, all of the warrants exercisable into Sizzle Common Stock will be converted into warrants exercisable into Pubco Ordinary Shares having the same exercise price and other terms and conditions as the original warrants.

Q:     If the Business Combination is completed, when can I expect to receive the Pubco Ordinary Shares
for my shares of Sizzle
Common Stock?

A:     After the consummation of the Business Combination, Pubco’s transfer agent will send instructions to Sizzle security holders regarding the exchange of their Sizzle securities for Pubco securities. Sizzle stockholders who exercise their redemption rights must deliver their stock certificates to Sizzle’s transfer agent (either physically or electronically) at least two (2) business days prior to the vote at the Special Meeting.

Q:     How much cash will be available to Pubco following the closing of the Business Combination, assuming maximum and minimum redemptions? To what extent will Pubco need to secure additional financing in connection with the Business Combination following the Business Combination?

A:     Following the closing of the Business Combination, it is currently anticipated that Pubco will have available to it approximately $124.8 million of cash from the Trust Account, after payment of estimated expenses and assuming no redemptions are made by Sizzle public stockholders prior to the closing of the Business Combination, or approximately $4.7 million of cash from the Trust Account, after payment of estimated expenses, and assuming that the maximum amount of redemptions are made by Sizzle public stockholders (assuming that such redemptions will be in an amount that satisfies the minimum cash condition) prior to the closing of the Business Combination. Unless waived in accordance with the Merger Agreement, the consummation of the Business Combination is also subject to customary closing conditions and a minimum cash condition that the funds that are in the Trust Account, together with the cash on Sizzle’s balance and the aggregate amount of gross proceeds from any subscription or investment agreement with respect to securities of Pubco entered into prior to Closing, equal $40 million, before payment of transaction expenses. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the parties to the Business Combination Agreement intend to obtain additional financing described in this condition with respect to Pubco, but there are currently no commitments for such additional financing. In the event the maximum redemptions are in excess of the amount of redemptions necessary to satisfy the minimum cash condition, Pubco will need to raise additional capital in order to satisfy the minimum cash condition (unless waived in accordance with the Merger Agreement).

The Sponsor has made certain commitments regarding funding of Sizzle. The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to Sizzle, if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to Sizzle, or a prospective target business with which Sizzle has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amounts in the Trust Account to below $10.10 per share (whether or not the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full), except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under Sizzle’s indemnity of the underwriters in its IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. Sizzle seeks to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except for the company’s independent registered accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which Sizzle does business, execute agreements with Sizzle waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

In order to meet Sizzle’s working capital needs, the Sponsor or its affiliates, or Sizzle’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan Sizzle funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, and which we refer to as working capital loans. Each such loan would

24

Table of Contents

be evidenced by a promissory note. The notes would either be paid upon consummation of our initial business combination, without interest, or, at a holder’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of the notes may be converted into units at a price of $10.00 per unit. If Sizzle does not complete a business combination, Sizzle may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay these loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay these loans.

There were no amounts outstanding relating to Working Capital Loans at June 30, 2022. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.”

Following the Business Combination, assuming no redemptions are made prior to the Closing, the Combined Entity believes it will have enough cash on its balance sheet to finance operations. In the event of maximum redemptions (assuming that such redemptions will be in an amount that satisfies the minimum cash condition), we expect that we will need to raise additional financing prior to Closing. We expect that from time to time we may need to raise additional financing to maintain our operations, and from time to time we may wish to raise additional financing in order to take advantage of business opportunities. To the extent we need or wish to raise such additional financing, our access to commercial bank financing or the debt and equity capital markets may be limited by various factors, including the condition of overall credit and capital markets, general economic factors, the state of the industry, our financial performance, credit ratings, and other factors. Commercial credit and debt and equity capital may not be available to us on favorable terms, or at all.

Q:     What do I need to do now?

A:     You are urged to read carefully and consider the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the annexes, and to consider how the Business Combination will affect you as a stockholder. You should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement/ prospectus and on the enclosed proxy card or, if you hold your shares through a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, on the voting instruction form provided by the broker, bank or nominee.

Q:     How do I vote?

A:     If you were a holder of record of Sizzle Common Stock on            , 2023, the Record Date, you may vote with respect to the Proposals in person at the Special Meeting, or by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the Special Meeting and vote in person, obtain a proxy from your broker, bank or nominee.

Q:     What will happen if I abstain from voting or fail to vote at the Special Meeting?

A:     Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal and the Charter Amendments Proposal.

Abstentions will have no effect on the remaining Proposals in a special meeting with a duly called quorum.

A “broker non-vote” occurs when shares held by a broker for the account of a beneficial owner are not voted for or against a particular proposal because the broker has not received voting instructions from that beneficial owner and the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote those shares in the absence of such instructions. If you do not provide instructions to your broker, your broker will not have discretionary authority to vote on any of the Proposals at the Special Meeting, because Sizzle does not expect any of the Proposals to be considered a routine matter. Broker non-votes will not be counted as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum.

Broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal and the Charter Amendments Proposal. At a meeting with a quorum, broker non-votes will have no effect on the vote on the remaining Proposals.

Q:     What will happen if I sign and return my proxy card without indicating how I wish to vote?

A:     Signed and dated proxies received by Sizzle without an indication of how the stockholder intends to vote on a proposal will be voted “FOR” each proposal presented to the stockholders. The proxyholders may use their discretion to vote on any other matters which properly come before the Special Meeting.

Q:     If I am not going to attend the Special Meeting in person, should I return my proxy card instead?

A:     Yes. Whether you plan to attend the Special Meeting or not, please read the enclosed proxy statement/prospectus carefully, and vote your shares by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided.

Q:     If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker, bank or nominee automatically vote my shares for me?

A:     No. Under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your shares with respect to non-discretionary matters unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank or nominee. Sizzle believes the proposals presented to the stockholders will be considered non-discretionary and therefore your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your shares without your instruction. Your bank, broker or other nominee can vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should instruct your broker to vote your shares in accordance with directions you provide.

Q:     May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card?

A:     Yes. You may change your vote by sending a later-dated, signed proxy card to Sizzle’s secretary at the address listed below so that it is received by Sizzle’s secretary prior to the Special Meeting or virtually attend the Special Meeting in person and vote. You also may revoke your proxy by sending a notice of revocation to Sizzle’s secretary, which must be received by Sizzle’s secretary prior to the Special Meeting.

Q:     Who will solicit and pay the cost of soliciting proxies?

Sizzle will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the Special Meeting. Sizzle has engaged Advantage Proxy, Inc. which we refer to as “Advantage Proxy,” to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Special Meeting. Sizzle has agreed to pay Advantage Proxy a fee of $            , plus disbursements. Sizzle will reimburse Advantage Proxy for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will indemnify Advantage Proxy and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses. Sizzle will also reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of shares of Sizzle Common Stock for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners of the Sizzle Common Stock and in obtaining voting instructions from those owners. Sizzle’s directors and officers may also solicit proxies by telephone, by facsimile, by mail, on the Internet or in person. They will not be paid any additional amounts for soliciting proxies.

Q:     What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

A:     You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement/prospectus and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast your vote with respect to all of your shares.

The Business Combination and the Merger Agreement

On October 24, 2022, Sizzle entered into the Merger Agreement by and among Sizzle, Pubco, Merger Sub, EUR and the Company. The Merger Agreement provides that the Company and SPAC will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of Pubco, a newly formed holding company. Pursuant to the Business Combination and Merger Agreement (a) Pubco will acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital shares and equity interests of the Company from EUR in exchange for Pubco Ordinary Shares, and any shares EUR holds in Pubco shall be surrendered for no consideration, such that the Company becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco and EUR becomes shareholder of Pubco, which we refer to as the Share Exchange; and immediately thereafter (b) Merger Sub will merge with and into Sizzle, with Sizzle continuing as the surviving entity and wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco. For more information about the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, please see the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Merger Agreement.” A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A, and is incorporated herein by reference.

Merger Consideration

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, in connection with the Effective Time of the Business Combination:

(i)     each of the issued and outstanding shares of Sizzle Common Stock will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive one Pubco Ordinary Share;

(ii)    all of the outstanding public warrants of Sizzle will be assumed by Pubco and converted into the right to receive a warrant to purchase one Pubco Share; and

(iii)   EUR will receive Pubco Ordinary Shares in the Share Exchange, equal to the amount of shares consisting of (i) Seven Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($750,000,000), divided by (ii) the redemption amount per share of Sizzle Common Stock payable to Sizzle stockholders in connection with the closing of the Business Combination as provided in the Merger Agreement, and which we refer to as the Closing Share Consideration.

Upon Effective Time, the outstanding publicly traded units of Sizzle will be separated into their component securities, consisting of (a) one share of Sizzle Common Stock and (b) one-half (1/2) of one Sizzle Warrant (each of which will be exchanged in accordance with the foregoing description). According to the Merger Agreement, each registered holder of Sizzle Warrants will be eligible to have each whole Sizzle Warrant converted into one Pubco Warrant, following aggregation of such holder’s registered Sizzle Warrants, and rounded down to the nearest whole warrant following such aggregation of warrants, with no issuance of a fractional Pubco Warrant.

Additional Pubco Ordinary Shares will be contingently issuable to EUR, in the form of an earnout which is subject to certain terms and conditions relating to the price of Pubco Ordinary Shares, during the five year period following the consummation of the Business Combination, and which we refer to as the Earnout Shares. The Earnout Shares represent a number of Pubco Ordinary Shares equal to up to 10% of the Closing Share Consideration, and half (or 5%) are issuable if Pubco Ordinary Shares’ VWAP (as defined in the Merger Agreement) trade above $15 dollars per share, and the other half (or 5%) are issuable if such price for Pubco Ordinary Shares trade above $20 per share, in each case for any twenty trading days in any thirty day trading days during this period. The Earnout Shares are also eligible to be issued, if not already paid, if during this period a change of control occurs in which the consideration per share would meet these thresholds for issuance.

(iii)   by either Sizzle or the Company in the event of the other party’s uncured breach of a representation, warranty covenant or agreement in the Merger Agreement (or with respect to Sizzle, a breach by Sizzle or Sponsor of the Sponsor Support Agreement), if such breach would result in the failure of the related closing condition of that party in the Merger Agreement, following 30 days written notice to the other party of that party’s breach, which breach remains uncured, or following the Outside Date if the other party exercised reasonable best efforts to cure such breach, other than by a party whose action or failure to act resulted in a breach of the applicable closing condition;

Table of Contents

assets, reorganization, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or other similar transaction involving the Company that would result in such third party or parties beneficially owning 50% or more of the consolidated assets of the Company or 50% or more of any class of equity or voting securities of the Company, which the EUR Board determines in good faith to be (i) if completed in accordance with its terms, more favorable to the shareholders of EUR from a financial point of view than the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and any counterproposal made by Sizzle pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, and (ii) reasonably capable of being completed as proposed (a “Superior Proposal”), if EUR has paid to Sizzle the Expense Reimbursement.

(vii)  by Sizzle, prior to the approval of EUR shareholders of the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination, if (A) there has occurred a EUR Adverse Recommendation Change, or (B) at any time after a EUR Competing Proposal has been publicly proposed or publicly announced the board of directors of EUR has failed to publicly affirm the EUR Board Recommendation within 10 business days (after one written request by Sizzle relating to any proposal or publicly disclosed material amendment to such proposal), provided that Sizzle has exercised this termination right within 10 business days after being entitled to do so under this section, which collectively we refer to as an EUR Adverse Recommendation Change;

(viii) by Sizzle, if the Company has not delivered audited financials, for the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, on or prior to December 31, 2022 (unless Sizzle has not exercised this termination right and the Company delivers such audited financials);

(ix)   by the Company, if the Minimum Cash Condition is not anticipated to be met, as reasonably determined by the Company following the conclusion of an extension meeting to extend the time period for Sizzle to consummate a business combination; or

(x)    by Sizzle, if a Company material adverse effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement) following the date of the Merger Agreement is uncured and continuing for at least 30 days.

If the Merger Agreement is terminated, all further obligations of the parties under the Merger Agreement (except for certain obligations related to publicity, confidentiality and access to information, waiver of claims against the Trust Account, transaction litigation, termination and related fees and general provisions) will terminate, and no party to the Merger Agreement will have any further liability to any other party thereto except for liability for willful breach.

If Sizzle terminates the Merger Agreement because of an EUR Adverse Recommendation Change (as defined above) or EUR terminates as a result of a Superior Proposal, in each case, the Company will pay Sizzle $5 million as expense reimbursement, which we refer to as the Expense Reimbursement Fee. If the Merger Agreement is terminated when an EUR Competing Proposal has been publicly announced or disclosed and not abandoned, and EUR enters into a definitive agreement relating to such EUR Competing Proposal within twelve months of such termination, then EUR will pay Sizzle the Expense Reimbursement Fee.

If EUR terminates the Merger Agreement as a result of a Sizzle Board Recommendation Change (as defined above), then Sizzle is obligated to pay EUR the Expense Reimbursement Fee.

The Expense Reimbursement Fee together with any specified costs or expenses to recover such fee are the sole and exclusive remedy to the applicable party against the other party in the circumstances in which the fee is payable.

This section describes the material provisions of certain additional agreements entered into or to be entered into pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and which we refer to as Related Agreements, but does not purport to describe all of their terms.

Sponsor Support Agreement

The Sponsor Support Agreement prevents transfers of Sizzle securities held by the Sponsor (collectively, the “Subject Securities”) between the date of the Sponsor Support Agreement and the date of the Closing or earlier termination of the Merger Agreement unless the transferee executes a joinder to the Support Agreement.

In the event that (a) any shares of Sizzle Common Stock, Sizzle Warrants or other equity securities of Sizzle are issued to the Sponsor pursuant to any stock dividend, stock split, distribution, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, conversion or exchange of shares of Sizzle Common Stock or Sizzle Warrants of, on or affecting the shares of Sizzle Common Stock or Sizzle Warrants owned by the Sponsor or otherwise, (b) the Sponsor purchases or otherwise acquires beneficial ownership of any shares of Sizzle Common Stock, Sizzle Warrants or other equity securities of Sizzle, or (c) the Sponsor acquires the right to vote or share in the voting of any shares of Sizzle Common Stock or other equity securities of Sizzle, Sizzle Warrants or other equity securities of Sizzle, collectively the “New Securities”), then, to the extent of the Sponsor’s control of such New Securities, such New Securities shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted the Subject Securities owned by the Sponsor as of the date hereof.

The Sponsor also agreed to take certain other actions in support of the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination and to refrain from taking such actions that would adversely impede the ability of the parties to perform the Merger Agreement. The Sponsor agreed to vote against (i) any offer or proposal from any person, other than EUR or the Company, relating to any initial business combination; (ii) any merger agreement or merger (other than the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination), consolidation, combination, sale of substantial assets, reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of or by Sizzle; (iii) any material change in the business of Sizzle or any change in the management or board of directors of Sizzle (other than, in each case, pursuant to the Merger Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements and the Transactions); (iv) any proposal, action or agreement that would or would reasonably be expected to (A) in any material respect, impede, frustrate, hinder, interfere with, prevent or nullify the timely consummation of, or otherwise adversely affect, any of the Transactions, (B) result in a breach in any material respect of any covenant, representation, warranty or any other obligation or agreement of Sizzle under the Merger Agreement (without giving effect to any limitation as to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” or any similar limitation contain therein), (C) result in any of the conditions set forth in Article VIII of the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled or (D) change in any manner the dividend policy or capitalization of, including the voting rights of any class of capital stock of, Sizzle. The Sponsor agreed to not solicit any alternative offers or proposals from any person, other than Pubco and its subsidiaries, relating to the acquisition of 20% or more of the Company (or any transaction that if completed would result in such person beneficially owning 20% or more of the equity, voting securities or assets of the Company, or otherwise enter into agreement or conduct diligence with respect to such a transaction. The Sponsor also agreed to surrender 2,049,250 shares of Sizzle Common Stock to Sizzle for no consideration immediately prior to Closing.

Lock-Up Agreement

Simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, EUR, Pubco and the Sponsor, entered into a lock-up agreement (the “Lock-Up Agreement”). Pursuant to the Lock-Up Agreement, the Sponsor and EUR agreed not to, during the period commencing from the Closing and ending 180 days after the date of the Closing: (A) sell, publicly offer to sell, enter into a contract or agreement with respect to the sale, hypothecation or pledge of, grant of any option to purchase or otherwise disposition of or agreement to dispose of, in each case, directly or indirectly, or establishment or increase of a put equivalent position or liquidation with respect to or decrease of a call equivalent position with respect to, any security, (B) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any security, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise or (C) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (A) or (B), any Lock-up Shares (in each case, subject to certain limited permitted transfers where the recipient takes the shares subject to the restrictions in the Lock-Up Agreement). “Lock-up Shares” means (a) with respect to EUR or each of its permitted transferees, the Pubco Ordinary Shares (i) received

33

Table of Contents

by EUR in the Share Exchange at Closing and (ii) received by EUR as Earnout Shares and (b) with respect to the Sponsor, (i) the Pubco Ordinary Shares it receives as Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of Sizzle Common Stock that the Sponsor held immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) any Pubco Ordinary Shares issued to the Sponsor in connection with the exercise or settlement of any Sizzle Warrant or Pubco Warrant.

Registration Rights

The Merger Agreement provides that effective as of the Closing, Sizzle, Pubco, the Sponsor and EUR, and the holders of specified “Registrable Shares” pursuant to the registration rights agreement which we entered into in connection with our IPO, will enter into an amended and restated registration rights agreement. This amended registration rights agreement requires Pubco to file a registration statement covering applicable Registrable Shares, as defined in the registration rights agreement, of these parties, within 45 days of Closing of the Business Combination, and use commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective by the SEC. All of the holders of Registrable Shares have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a business combination and rights to require us to register for resale those securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidating damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in registering the securities.

Investors Agreement

At or before the Closing, and effective as of the Closing, Pubco and EUR will enter into an Investors Agreement (the “Investors Agreement”), pursuant to which, and pursuant to the Proposed Charter, EUR will continue to be entitled to nominate and appoint certain numbers of directors depending on its percentage ownership of Pubco Ordinary Shares.

The Investor’s Agreement will further provide that for as long as EUR beneficially owns (i) at least fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of Pubco’s then issued and outstanding equity interests, EUR shall be entitled to nominate and appoint from time to time the lower of (a) a majority of all members of the Pubco Board, and (b) four (4) members of the Pubco Board, with at least two (2) such board members satisfying the independence requirements of Pubco’s principal stock exchange and be eligible to serve on an audit committee, but no such board member being required to satisfy the diversity requirements of Pubco’s principal stock exchange, (ii) at least twenty-five percent (25%) but less than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of Pubco’s then issued and outstanding equity interests, EUR shall be entitled to nominate and appoint two (2) members of the Pubco Board from time to time, with no such board member being required to satisfy the independence or diversity requirements of Pubco’s principal stock exchange or be eligible to serve on an audit committee, and (iii) at least fifteen percent (15%) but less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total voting power of Pubco’s then issued and outstanding equity interests, EUR shall be entitled to nominate and appoint one (1) member of the Pubco Board from time to time, with such board member not being required to satisfy the independence or diversity requirements of Pubco’s principal stock exchange or be eligible to serve on an audit committee.

The Investor’s Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force or effect (i) with respect to EUR, when EUR no longer holds any Pubco Ordinary Shares and (ii) with respect to EUR and Pubco, upon the mutual written agreement of EUR and Pubco to terminate this; provided that nothing herein will relieve both EUR and Pubco from liability for any breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and both EUR and Pubco will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach.

Warrant Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement.

At the Closing, Pubco, Sizzle and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York limited purpose trust company, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”) will enter into the Warrant Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement (the “Assumed Warrant Agreement”), which will amend that certain Warrant Agreement (the “Original Warrant Agreement”), dated as of November 3, 2021, and filed with the SEC on November 8, 2021, by and between Sizzle and the Warrant Agent, which Original Warrant Agreement governs all of the Warrants issued by Sizzle. Pursuant to the Assumed Warrant Agreement, Sizzle will assign to Pubco all of Sizzle’s right, title and interest in and to the Original Warrant Agreement and Pubco will assume, and agree to pay, perform, satisfy and discharge in full, as the same become due, all of Sizzle’s liabilities and obligations under the Original Warrant Agreement, as amended. As a result, each Sizzle Warrant will automatically cease to represent a right to be exercised into Shares of Sizzle Common

34

Stock and will instead represent a right to be exercised into Shares of Pubco pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Original Warrant Agreement, as amended. Pursuant to the Assumed Warrant Agreement, among other things (i) Pubco will assume the obligations of Sizzle under the Original Warrant Agreement, (ii) “Common Stock” or “shares” will mean the Pubco Ordinary Shares; (iii) “stockholder” will mean shareholder of Pubco; and (iv) the “Board of Directors” or any committee thereof will mean the board of directors of Pubco or any committee thereof.

EUR Trust Account Waiver

EUR has agreed that it and its affiliates will not have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in Sizzle’s Trust Account, and agreed not to, and waived any right to, make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) directly or indirectly.

Total Shares to be Issued in the Business Combination

Sizzle’s public stockholders currently own approximately 71% of issued and outstanding Sizzle Common Stock, and our Sponsor together with our Initial Stockholders including our directors and officers currently own approximately 722,750 private placement shares and 5,425,000 founders shares equal to 28% of issued and outstanding Sizzle Common Stock, Cantor owns 47,250 private placement shares and EBC owns 75,600 EBC Shares, together consisting of approximately 1% of issued and outstanding Sizzle Common Stock.

It is anticipated that, immediately after the Business Combination and if there are no redemptions, Sizzle’s existing stockholders, including the Sponsor, will own approximately 21.0% of the outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares (of which approximately 4.4% will be owned by the Sponsor and Sizzle’s directors and officers), Cantor and EBC will own approximately 0.1% of the outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares, and EUR will own approximately 78.9% of the outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares.

For a Description of Pubco’s securities, see the section entitled “Description of Securities of Pubco” which provides a description of Pubco Ordinary Shares and Pubco warrants.

If any of Sizzle’s public stockholders exercise their redemption rights, the ownership interest in Pubco of Sizzle’s public stockholders will decrease and the ownership interest in Pubco of EUR and the Sponsor will increase. If there are redemptions by Sizzle’s public stockholders up to the maximum level presented for the Business Combination in this proxy statement/prospectus, immediately following completion of the Business Combination, Sizzle’s existing stockholders, including the Sponsor, will own approximately 6.4% of the outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares (of which approximately 5.2% will be owned by the Sponsor and Sizzle’s officers and directors), Cantor and EBC will own approximately 0.2% of the outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares, and EUR will own approximately 93.4% of the outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares. If the actual facts are different than these assumptions (based on redemptions by Sizzle’s public stockholders, changes in the terms of the Business Combination, adjustments to the Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger Agreement or otherwise), the percentage ownership interests in Pubco post-Business Combination may be different. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” for further information.

The Sizzle Board’s Reasons for the Business Combination

Sizzle was organized for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Sizzle has sought to capitalize on the ability of its management team to identify, acquire and partner with management to operate a business.

The Board, in evaluating the Business Combination, consulted with Sizzle’s management and legal, accounting and financial advisors. In reaching its unanimous resolution (i) that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination, are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of Sizzle and its stockholders and (ii) to recommend that Sizzle’s stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Board considered a range of factors, including, but not limited to, the factors discussed below.

In light of the number and wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination, the Board did not consider it practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors that it considered in reaching its determination and supporting its decision. The Board viewed its decision as being based on any and all of the information available and the factors presented to and considered by it. In addition, individual directors may have given different weight to different factors. This explanation of the Board’s reasons for the Business Combination and all other information presented in this section may be forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Many factors were considered by Sizzle, and the factors outlined herein may or may not have been considered by any particular directors, member of management, or advisor of Sizzle Notwithstanding whether any of these factors were considered by any individual board member, the Board voted unanimously to proceed with the transaction.

The officers and directors of Sizzle have substantial experience in a wide range of industries and are confident that their experience and background, together with the experience of Sizzle’s advisors, enabled them to exercise the necessary business judgment to make the determinations regarding the Business Combination. The Board also obtained the Marshall & Stevens Opinion, described below, prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement, relating to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to Sizzle of the Merger Consideration to be paid to EUR in the Business Combination.

The Board considered a number of factors pertaining to the Business Combination as generally supporting its decision to enter into the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including, but not limited to, the following material factors:

•        Growth Prospects.    The belief that the Business Combination of Sizzle and the Company should result in significant strategic benefits to the Combined Company, which would benefit Sizzle’s stockholders, including access to exploration interests, professional resources and financing opportunities;

•        Exploration Rights.    The belief that the Business Combination would enable Sizzle to benefit from the Company’s mineral exploration rights, including the Wolfsberg Project, and customer relationships including offtake agreements;

•        Electric Vehicle Revolution.    The Wolfsburg Project is Europe’s first licensed lithium mine and is uniquely positioned to capitalize on Europe’s increasing demand for homegrown battery production related to electric vehicles;

•        Due Diligence.    Business, financial and technical due diligence examinations of the Company and discussions with the Company’s management team were conducted, including extensive in-person meetings, a site visit and calls with the Company’s management team and its representatives regarding the Company’s operations and financial prospects, technical analysis. Additional legal and technical review of the Company’s material contracts, intellectual property and labor matters was conducted. Such due diligence examination of the Company in consultation with Sizzle’s legal, technical, and financial advisors, indicated to Sizzle management that Pubco could assemble the required elements to create a foundation for a potentially very successful mining company;

37

Table of Contents

•        Stockholder Liquidity.    The obligation in the Merger Agreement to have Pubco Ordinary Shares issued as merger consideration listed on Nasdaq, a major U.S. stock exchange, which the Board believes has the potential to offer Sizzle stockholders enhanced liquidity following the Business Combination;

•        Management Team Continuity.    EUR and the Company’s senior management team including Tony Sage, Dietrich Wanke, Malcom Day, Melissa Chapman and Mykhalio Zhernov, intend to remain with the Combined Company in the capacity of officers and/or directors following the Business Combination, providing beneficial continuity in advancing Pubco’s strategic and growth goals;

•        Lock-Up.    Key Company personnel and EUR agreed to be subject to lockup provisions of 6 months in respect of their Pubco Ordinary Shares (subject to certain customary exceptions), which would provide important stability to the Combined Company;

•        Fairness Opinion.    On August 17, 2022, Sizzle engaged Marshall & Stevens for the benefit of its Board in connection with the consideration by the Board of the Business Combination between Sizzle and the Company pursuant to which (a) Critical Metals Limited, a newly organized BVI company (“Pubco”), will acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital shares and equity interests of European Lithium AT (Investments) Ltd. (“European Lithium” or the “Acquired Business” or the “Company”), a subsidiary of European Lithium Ltd. (“EUR”) from EUR in exchange for ordinary shares of Pubco, and European Lithium shall become a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco and EUR shall become a shareholder of Pubco; and (b) Project Wolf Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Merger Sub”) will merge with and into Sizzle, with Sizzle continuing as the surviving entity and wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco. Subject to various agreed procedures, terms, conditions, assumptions, qualifications and limitations, Marshall & Stevens valued the Acquired Business and, at the request of the Board, on October 20, 2022, rendered its formal written opinion, which we refer to as the “Marshall & Stevens Opinion,” that as of that date the Purchase Price to be paid by Sizzle for the Acquired Business as provided in the Merger Agreement is fair to Sizzle and, through their ownership in Sizzle, the public shareholders of Sizzle from a financial point of view. See discussion under “— The Business Combination Proposal: Marshall & Stevens Opinion.” The full text of the opinion is included with this proxy statement/prospectus; All descriptions of and disclosures concerning Marshall & Stevens Opinion are qualified in their entirety by reference to the specific text of Marshall & Stevens Opinion, a copy of which is included as Annex E to this proxy statement/prospectus. The included copy is provided only for informational purposes and is not for the benefit of or to be relied on by any person or entity other than the Board;

•        Reasonableness of Consideration.    Following a review of the financial data provided to Sizzle, including the financial projections of EUR, and the due diligence of EUR’s business conducted by Sizzle’s management and Sizzle’s advisors, and taking into account the opinion received from Marshall & Stevens regarding the fairness of the consideration to be paid by Sizzle in the Business Combination, the Board determined that the aggregate consideration to be paid in the Business Combination was fair to Sizzle;

•        Other Alternatives.    The Board believes, after a thorough review of other business combination opportunities reasonably available to Sizzle that the proposed Business Combination represents the most promising potential business combination for Sizzle and the most attractive opportunity based upon the process utilized to evaluate and assess other potential acquisition targets. Given the demand for electric and traditional fuel vehicles and Company’s proprietary process and mineral rights and customer pipeline, Sizzle’s Board believes the Company offers its stockholders the most potential value when compared to other target candidates; and

•        Negotiated Transaction; Merger Consideration.    The financial and other terms of the Merger Agreement, including the consideration deliverable to the security holders of EUR thereunder, and the fact that such terms and conditions are reasonable and were the product of arm’s length negotiations between Sizzle and EUR.

38

Table of Contents

The Board also considered a variety of uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Business Combination including, but not limited to, the following:

•        Macroeconomic Risks.    Macroeconomic uncertainty, including the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the effects it could have on Pubco’s revenues post-closing;

•        Business Plan and Growth Initiatives May Not Be Achieved.    The risk that Pubco may not be able to execute on its business plan and realize the potential financial performance presented to Sizzle’s management team, or that Pubco’s growth initiatives may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe. Although Sizzle’s board was provided access to Pubco’s investor presentation summarizing the company’s plans for medium and long term growth, those plans were believed to be subject to significant uncertainty due to several factors, including but not limited to fluctuation in global commodity and lithium prices, legal and regulatory risks, lack of legal certainty in certain international markets, uncertainties relating to timing and scale of mining permits and activities, competition from other mining companies, and uncertainty relating to Pubco’s ability to optimize operational efficiency. Additionally, although Sizzle’s board received certain preliminary sales estimates, as the Company is not an operating company. Sizzle’s board primarily reviewed requirements for mining of Spodumene Concentrate or Lithium and their market prices and a guideline public company analysis relating to valuation ranges.

•        Asset Concentration.    The fact that the price of Spodumene Concentrate for production of Lithium was the main variable for asset sales and the mineral was the Company’s primary if not single validated asset.

•        Redemption Risk.    The potential that a significant number of Sizzle stockholders elect to redeem their shares prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and pursuant to the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation, which would potentially make the Business Combination more difficult or impossible to complete;

•        Stockholder Vote.    The risk that Sizzle’s stockholders may fail to provide the votes necessary to effect the Business Combination;

•        Closing Conditions.    The fact that the completion of the Business Combination is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain closing conditions that are not within Sizzle’s control;

•        Litigation.    The possibility of litigation challenging the Business Combination or that an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin consummation of the Business Combination;

•        Listing Risks.    The challenges associated with preparing the Company, a private entity, for the applicable disclosure and listing requirements to which the Combined Company will be subject as a publicly traded company on Nasdaq;

•        Benefits May Not Be Achieved.    The risks that the potential benefits of the Business Combination may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe;

•        Liquidation of Sizzle.    The risks and costs to Sizzle if the Business Combination is not completed, including the risk of diverting management focus and resources from other business combination opportunities, which could result in Sizzle being unable to effect a business combination by February 8, 2023, unless extended (the “Outside Date”);

•        Conflicts of Interest.    The possibility that the Board may have been influenced by conflicts between what may be in Sizzle’s best interests and what may be best for a director’s personal interests, including the possibility that if the Business Combination is not consummated, and Sizzle is forced to liquidate because it is unable to consummate another business combination by February 8, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation), the founder shares and private placement shares owned by Sizzle’s Initial Stockholders would be worthless;

•        Regulatory Risks.    The risks to the mining exploration, operations and extraction of the Wolfsberg Project include regulations, which are subject to change;

•        Board and Independent Committees.    The risk that the Combined Company’s board of directors post- Closing and independent committees do not possess adequate skills set within the context of the Combined Company operating as a public company;

39

Table of Contents

•        Holders of Sizzle Common Stock, and Sizzle Warrants Receiving a Minority Position in the Combined Company.    The risk that Sizzle stockholders will hold a minority position in the Combined Company;

•        Fees and Expenses.    The fees and expenses associated with completing the Business Combination; and

•        Other Risk Factors.    Various other risk factors associated with the business of Pubco, as described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The above discussion of the material factors considered by the Board is not intended to be exhaustive, but does set forth the principal factors considered by the Board.

The Board concluded that the potential benefits expected to be achieved by Sizzle and its stockholders resulting from the Business Combination outweighed the potentially negative factors associated with the Business Combination. Accordingly, the Board determined that the Business Combination was advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of, Sizzle and its stockholders.

EUR’s Reasons for the Business Combination

The board of directors of EUR (the “EUR Board”) considered a variety of factors in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination. In light of the complexity of those factors, the EUR Board, as a whole, did not consider it practicable to, nor did it attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors it took into account in reaching its decision. The EUR Board viewed its decision as being based on all of the information available and the factors presented to and considered by it. In addition, individual members of the EUR Board may have given different weight to different factors.

In considering whether to enter into the Business Combination, the directors of EUR considered the non-exhaustive list of advantages and disadvantages summarized below. Although the EUR Board believes that the Business Combination with Sizzle presents a unique business combination opportunity and is in the best interests of EUR and its shareholders, the EUR Board did consider certain potentially material negative factors in arriving at that conclusion.

Advantages to the Company and EUR

•        The Business Combination represents an opportunity for the Company and EUR and its shareholders to recognize a significant uplift in the value of its Austrian lithium projects (as a result of the increased valuation) whilst also having the benefit of funding opportunities that would not otherwise be available to the Company and EUR but for the Business Combination.

•        EUR will retain full operational and managerial control of Pubco by virtue of having four out of five nominee board members.

•        EUR will hold an approximate 80% ownership interest in Pubco post-Closing of the Business Combination, which is expected to be sufficiently funded to move through the construction and development stages of Wolfsberg Project and have exposure to institutional investment opportunities it otherwise would not have but for the Business Combination.

•        EUR will retain exposure to the Austrian lithium projects via the controlling interest that the Company will hold in Pubco post-Closing.

Disadvantages to the Company and EUR

•        The Business Combination involves the sell-down of EUR’s interests in the Austrian lithium projects, which may not be consistent with the investment objectives of all of EUR’s shareholders.

•        The Business Combination may result in EUR being inadvertently exposed to regulatory risks as the controlling and majority shareholder of Pubco, being a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and listed on Nasdaq. Accordingly, changes in relevant taxes, legal and administration regimes, accounting practice and government policies in the British Virgin Islands and in the US may affect the financial and/or operational performance of Pubco and the Austrian lithium projects.

40

Table of Contents

•        There is no guarantee that the shares of Pubco will trade on Nasdaq above the deemed price at which the Pubco Ordinary Shares are proposed to be issued to EUR. Pubco’s shares will be impacted by market factors outside its control. As a result, while the implied value of such Ordinary Shares at Closing will represent a significant increase to the present equity value of the Company as a whole, the actual value of the such Ordinary Shares will change in line with the trading price of the shares of Pubco on Nasdaq.

You are entitled to one vote for each share of Sizzle Common Stock that you owned as of the close of business on the Record Date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there were 21,770,600 shares of Sizzle Common Stock issued and outstanding. Sizzle’s public stockholders currently own approximately 15,500,000 shares of Sizzle Common Stock, equal to approximately 71% of issued and outstanding Sizzle Common Stock, and our Sponsor together with our Initial Stockholders including our directors and officers currently own approximately 722,750 private placement shares and 5,425,000 founders shares equal to 28% of issued and outstanding Sizzle Common Stock, Cantor owns 47,250 representative shares and EBC owns 75,600 EBC Shares, together consisting of approximately 1% of issued and outstanding Sizzle Common Stock. Sizzle does not expect to issue any shares of common stock on or before the Record Date.

Registering for the Special Meeting

Pre-registration for virtual attendance at the Special Meeting is recommended but is not required in order to attend through the following website: https://www.cstproxy.com/[           ]

Any stockholder wishing to attend the virtual meeting should register for the meeting by            , 2023. To register for the Special Meeting, please follow these instructions as applicable to the nature of your ownership of our common stock:

•        If your shares are registered in your name with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company and you wish to attend the online-only Special Meeting, go to https://www.cstproxy.com/[  ], enter the 12-digit control number included on your proxy card or notice of the meeting and click on the “Click here to preregister for the online meeting” link at the top of the page. Just prior to the start of the meeting you will need to log back into the meeting site using your control number. Pre-registration is recommended but is not required in order to attend.

•        Beneficial stockholders (those holding shares through a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other holder of record) who wish to attend the virtual meeting must obtain a legal proxy by contacting their account representative at the bank, broker, or other nominee that holds their shares and e-mail a copy (a legible photograph is sufficient) of their legal proxy to proxy@continentalstock.com.

41

Table of Contents

stockholders who e-mail a valid legal proxy will be issued a 12-digit meeting control number that will allow them to register to attend and participate in the special meeting. After contacting Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a beneficial holder will receive an e-mail prior to the meeting with a link and instructions for entering the virtual meeting. Beneficial stockholders should contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company at least five (5) business days prior to the meeting date in order to ensure access.

Quorum and Required Vote for Proposals for the Special Meeting

A quorum of Sizzle stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the Special Meeting if a majority of the common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting is represented in person (including by virtual attendance) or by proxy. Abstentions will count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum. Broker non-votes will not be counted for purposes of establishing a quorum.

Approval of the Business Combination Proposal and Charter Amendments Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Sizzle Common Stock as of the Record Date. Accordingly, a Sizzle stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting or an abstention will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal and Charter Amendments Proposal.

The approval of the remaining Proposals (consisting of the Nasdaq Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal) requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting. Accordingly, a Sizzle stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting or the failure of a Sizzle stockholder who holds his or her shares in “street name” through a broker or other nominee to give voting instructions to such broker or other nominee (a “broker non-vote”) will result in that stockholder’s shares not being counted towards the number of shares of Sizzle Common Stock required to validly establish a quorum, but if a valid quorum is otherwise established, it will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on the Nasdaq Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal. Abstentions of persons appearing at the Special Meeting likewise will also have no effect on the outcome of these proposals.

The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will be consummated only if the Condition Precedent Proposals (consisting of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendments Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal) are approved at the Special Meeting. The Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals, the ESPP Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are not Condition Precedent Proposals for consummation of the Business Combination, and the Adjournment Proposal does not require the approval of any other proposal to be effective.

It is important for you to note that in the event that the Business Combination Proposal and the other Condition Precedent Proposals do not receive the requisite vote for approval, after taking into account any approved adjournment or postponement, if necessary, then we will not consummate the Business Combination. If we do not consummate the Business Combination and fail to complete an initial business combination by February 8, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation), we will be required to dissolve and liquidate our Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the public stockholders.

The Proposals

The Business Combination Proposal

On October 24, 2022, Sizzle entered into the Merger Agreement by and among Sizzle, Pubco, Merger Sub, the Company and EUR.

The Merger Agreement provides for the combination of Sizzle and the Company under Pubco, a new holding company, as its direct, wholly-owned subsidiaries. Pursuant to the Business Combination and Merger Agreement (a) Pubco will acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital shares of the Company from EUR in exchange for Pubco Ordinary Shares, and any shares EUR or the Company holds in Pubco shall be surrendered for no consideration, such that the Company becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco and EUR becomes shareholder of Pubco, which we refer to as the Share Exchange; and immediately thereafter (b) Merger Sub will merge with and

42

Table of Contents

into Sizzle, with Sizzle continuing as the surviving entity and wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco. The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Merger we refer to herein as the “Business Combination.” A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/ prospectus as Annex A.

Merger Consideration

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, in connection with the Effective Time of the Business Combination:

(i)     each of the outstanding shares of Sizzle Common Stock will be exchanged for the right to receive one Pubco Ordinary Share (and following such exchange the share of Sizzle Common Stock will be cancelled);

(ii)    each Sizzle Warrants will be assumed by Pubco and converted into the right to receive a Pubco Warrants; and

(iii)   EUR will receive Pubco Ordinary Shares in the Share Exchange, equal to the amount of shares consisting of (i) Seven Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($750,000,000), divided by (ii) the redemption amount per share of Sizzle Common Stock payable to Sizzle stockholders in connection with the closing of the Business Combination as provided in the Merger Agreement, and which we refer to as the Closing Share Consideration.

Upon Effective Time, the outstanding publicly traded units of Sizzle will be separated into their component securities, consisting of (a) one share of Sizzle Common Stock and (b) one-half (1/2) of one Sizzle Warrant (each of which shall be exchanged in accordance with the foregoing description). According to the Merger Agreement, each registered holder of Sizzle Warrants will be eligible to have each whole Sizzle Warrant converted into one Pubco Warrant, following aggregation of such holder’s registered Sizzle Warrants, and rounded down to the nearest whole warrant following such aggregation of warrants, with no issuance of a fractional Pubco Warrant.

Additional Pubco Ordinary Shares will be contingently issuable to EUR, in the form of an earnout which is subject to certain terms and conditions relating to the price of Pubco Ordinary Shares, during the five year period following the consummation of the Business Combination, and which we refer to as the Earnout Shares. The Earnout Shares represent a number of Pubco Ordinary Shares equal to up to 10% of the Closing Share Consideration, and half (or 5%) are issuable if Pubco Ordinary Shares’s VWAP (as defined in the Merger Agreement) trade above $15 dollars per share, and the other half (or 5%) are issuable if such price for Pubco Ordinary Shares trade above $20 per share, in each case for any twenty trading days in any thirty day trading days during this period. The Earnout Shares are also eligible to be issued, if not already paid, if during this period a change of control occurs in which the consideration per share would meet these thresholds for issuance.

As Sizzle does not have any outstanding shares of preferred stock, and is anticipated to have no outstanding shares of preferred stock at the Effective Time, no exchange of preferred stock is expected to occur at the Effective Time.

The amount of Pubco Ordinary Shares that EUR and our security holders described above receive in the Business Combination depends on the redemption price of Sizzle Common Stock in the redemption described in this proxy statement/prospectus, which per share price determines the value of one share of Pubco Ordinary Shares under the terms of the Merger Agreement, for purposes of determining the consideration to be received by EUR and our security holders in the Business Combination.

Because the per share price of redemption is not currently known, and the aggregate fully diluted number of Pubco Ordinary Shares at the Closing is not fully known, the exact value of the consideration to be received by EUR will not be known with certainty until the Closing.

Closing Conditions and Termination Rights

In addition to the approval of the Proposals at the Special Meeting, unless waived by the parties to the Merger Agreement, in accordance with applicable law, the Closing of the Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement including, among others, receipt of the requisite stockholder approval

43

Table of Contents

contemplated by this proxy statement/prospectus. For more information about the closing conditions to the Business Combination, see the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal — Conditions to Consummation of the Merger.”

The Merger Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing of the Business Combination upon the mutual agreement of the Company and Sizzle, or by the Company or Sizzle acting alone, in specified circumstances. For more information about the termination rights under the Merger Agreement, see the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal — Merger Agreement — Termination.”

The Business Combination involves numerous risks. For more information about these risks, see the section titled “Risk Factors.”

The Charter Amendments Proposal

Assuming the Business Combination Proposal is approved, in connection with the Business Combination, Sizzle is proposing that its stockholders approve amendments to the Proposed Charter for the following:

(a)     a single class of ordinary shares with 450,000,000 authorized shares;

(b)    50,000,000 authorized preferred shares; and

Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals

Assuming the Business Combination Proposal and other Condition Precedent Proposals are approved, Sizzle’s stockholders are also being asked to approve the Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals in connection with the Proposed Charter. In accordance with SEC guidance, this proposal is being presented separately and will be voted upon on a non-binding advisory basis.

A summary of these provisions is set forth in the “Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals (Proposal 3)” section of this proxy statement/prospectus and a complete copy of these provisions is attached hereto as Annex B. You are encouraged to read them in their entirety.

The Nasdaq Proposal

Sizzle is asking its stockholders to consider and vote on a proposal to approve, for the purposes of complying with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635, the issuance, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, of up to approximately 93,250,762 Pubco Ordinary Shares to EUR and Sizzle stockholders upon the Closing, up to an additional 7,550,000 Pubco Ordinary Shares to holders of Sizzle Warrants, which upon the Closing will be exchanged for Pubco Warrants, and up to an additional 7,352,941 Pubco Ordinary Shares which are contingently issuable relating to the Earnout.

The Incentive Plan Proposal

Sizzle is asking its stockholders to approve the Incentive Plan, including the authorization of the share reserve under the Incentive Plan equal to five percent (5%) of the aggregate number of Pubco Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately after the Closing, which will become effective upon the Closing of the Business Combination. The Incentive Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock units, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, other stock-based awards and cash-based awards. Incentive stock options (“ISOs”) may be granted only to Pubco’s employees, including officers, and the employees of Pubco’s subsidiaries. All other stock awards may be granted to Pubco’s employees, officers, Pubco’s non-employee directors, and consultants and the employees and consultants of Pubco’s subsidiaries and affiliates.

A summary of the Incentive Plan is set forth in the “Incentive Plan Proposal” section of this proxy statement/prospectus and a complete copy of the Incentive Plan is attached hereto as Annex C.

ESPP Proposal

Sizzle is asking its stockholders to approve the ESPP. The purpose of the ESPP is to provide a broad-based employee benefit to attract the services of new employees, to retain the services of existing employees, and to provide incentives for such individuals to exert maximum efforts toward the Pubco’s success by purchasing Pubco Ordinary Shares on favorable terms and to pay for such purchases through payroll deductions.

44

Table of Contents

A summary of the ESPP is set forth in the “ESPP Proposal” section of this proxy statement/prospectus and a complete copy of the ESPP is attached hereto as Annex D.

The Adjournment Proposal

Sizzle is proposing that its stockholders approve and adopt a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if Sizzle is unable to consummate the Business Combination for any reason.

Marshall & Stevens Opinion

On August 17, 2022, Sizzle engaged Marshall & Stevens to serve as an independent financial advisor for the benefit of the Board in connection with the consideration by the Board of the Business Combination.

Subject to various agreed procedures, terms, conditions, assumptions, qualifications and limitations, Marshall & Stevens valued the Acquired Business and, at the request of the Board, on October 20, 2022, rendered its formal written opinion, which we refer to as the “Marshall & Stevens Opinion,” that that as of that date the Purchase Price to be paid by Sizzle for the Acquired Business as provided in the Merger Agreement is fair to Sizzle and, through their ownership in Sizzle, the public shareholders of Sizzle from a financial point of view. See discussion under “— The Business Combination Proposal: Marshall & Stevens Opinion.”

The full text of the opinion is included with this proxy statement/prospectus. All descriptions of and disclosures concerning Marshall & Stevens Opinion are qualified in their entirety by reference to the specific text of Marshall & Stevens Opinion, a copy of which is included as Annex E to this proxy statement/prospectus. The included copy is provided only for informational purposes and is not for the benefit of or to be relied on by any person or entity other than the Board.

Recommendation to Sizzle Stockholders

After careful consideration, our Board has concluded that the Business Combination is in the best interests of Sizzle’s stockholders. Our directors believe that the proposals being presented at the Special Meeting are in the best interests of Sizzle’s stockholders, and they recommend that Sizzle’s stockholders vote FOR each of the proposals.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Sizzle’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of Sizzle and its stockholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that stockholders vote for the proposals. In addition, Sizzle’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a stockholder. See the section entitled “— Interests of Sizzle’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

Interests of Sizzle’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination

When you consider the recommendation of our Board in favor of the proposals, you should keep in mind that our directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) your interests as a stockholder. These interests include, among other things:

•        If the Business Combination with the Company or another business combination is not consummated by February 8, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation), Sizzle will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the founders shares held by the Sponsor and certain directors and officers, which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to the Sizzle IPO, would be worthless because the holders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. Such shares had an

45

Table of Contents

aggregate market value of approximately $55.8 million based upon the closing price of $10.28 per share on Nasdaq on December 5, 2022 (and assuming no reduction in value based on them being restricted securities, or re-valuation of the securities in connection with the Business Combination). On the other hand, if the Business Combination is consummated, each outstanding share of Sizzle Common Stock will be converted into one Pubco Ordinary Share.

•        If the Business Combination with the Company or another business combination is not consummated by February 8, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation), Sizzle will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the 722,750 private placement shares held by the Sponsor would be worthless because the holders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares Such private placement shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $7.4 million based upon the closing price of $10.28 per share of Sizzle Common Stock on Nasdaq on December 5, 2022 (and assuming no reduction in value based on them being restricted securities, or re-valuation of the securities in connection with the Business Combination).

•        If Sizzle is unable to complete a business combination within the required time period under the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation, the Sponsor will be liable under certain circumstances described herein to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of potential target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by Sizzle for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to Sizzle. If Sizzle consummates a business combination, on the other hand, Sizzle and ultimately the combined company will be liable for all such claims.

•        The Sponsor, as well as Sizzle’s officers and directors, and their affiliates, are entitled to reimbursement of certain out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with identifying, investigating, negotiating and completing a business combination. However, if Sizzle fails to consummate a business combination by February 8, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation), they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. Accordingly, Sizzle may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the Business Combination or another business combination is not consummated within such period (none of such expenses were incurred that had not been reimbursed as of September 30, 2022).

•        Based on the difference in the purchase price of $0.004 that the Sponsor paid for each of the founders shares, as compared to the purchase price of $10.00 per unit sold in the IPO, the Sponsor may earn a positive rate of return even if the share price of the combined company after the Closing falls below the price initially paid for the units in the IPO and the public shareholders experience a negative rate of return following the Closing of the Business Combination.

•        The Merger Agreement provides for the continued indemnification of Sizzle’s current directors and officers and the continuation of directors and officers liability insurance covering Sizzle’s current directors and officers.

•        The Sponsor, officers and directors (or their affiliates) may make loans from time to time to Sizzle to fund certain capital requirements. The Sponsor agreed to loan Sizzle an aggregate of up to $150,000, of which approximately $153,127 was outstanding as of September 30, 2022 (as the note is currently without fixed terms). The Sponsor, its affiliates and Sizzle’s officers and directors have the Promissory Note outstanding to Sizzle. Additional loans may be made after the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the loans will not be repaid and will be forgiven except to the extent there are funds available to Sizzle outside of the Trust Account.

•        Carolyn Trabuco will be the Sizzle designee to the Pubco Board upon the effectiveness of the Business Combination. As a director, in the future, Ms. Trabuco may receive any cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the Pubco Board determines to pay to its directors.

46

Table of Contents

In addition to the interests of Sizzle’s directors and officers in the Business Combination, Sizzle stockholders should be aware that the certain other persons may have financial interests that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Sizzle stockholders, including:

•        Cantor, Sizzle’s underwriter in the IPO, will be entitled to receive a deferred underwriting commission and a placement agency fee upon completion of the Business Combination;

•        Cantor purchased 47,250 representative shares from Sizzle for $10.00 per share. This purchase took place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of the Sizzle IPO and the subsequent partial exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option. Such representative shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $485,730 based upon the closing price of $10.28 per share on Nasdaq on December 5, 2022. The representative shares will become worthless if Sizzle does not consummate a business combination by February 8, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation). On the other hand, if the Business Combination is consummated, each outstanding representative share will be exchanged for one share of Pubco; and

•        EBC owns an aggregate of 75,600 EBC shares. Such EBC shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $777,168 based upon the closing price of $10.28 per share on Nasdaq on December 5, 2022. The EBC shares will become worthless if Sizzle does not consummate a business combination by February 8, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation). On the other hand, if the Business Combination is consummated, each outstanding EBC share will be exchanged for one share of Pubco.

These interests may influence our directors in making their recommendation that you vote in favor of the Business Combination.

Certain of our officers and directors presently have, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities, including entities that are affiliates of the Sponsor, pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present a business combination opportunity to such entity. Accordingly, if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he will honor his fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such business combination opportunity to such entity, subject to their fiduciary duties under Delaware and applicable law. Given the substantial target universe considered by Sizzle’s management team, Sizzle’s Board did not believe that the other fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of Benesser’s officers and directors materially affected Sizzle’s ability to source a potential business combination. Sizzle’s Board considered the factors supporting, and risks and uncertainties related to, a business combination with the Company as set forth above under “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus — Sizzle Board’s Reasons for the Business Combination,” and did not believe that such other fiduciary duties or contractual obligations impacted such consideration.

EUR Shareholder Approval

The approval of the Business Combination and related transactions by a vote of the shareholders of EUR is a condition to consummation of the Business Combination, according to the Merger Agreement. This vote requires the affirmative votes of the holders of a majority of the EUR ordinary shares.

Risk Factors

In evaluating the proposals set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus, you should carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus, including the annexes and the other documents referred to herein, for a discussion of factors, including the risks to holders of Sizzle Common Stock who do not redeem in connection with the Special Meeting, you should consider carefully before making an investment decision.

Accounting Treatment for the Business Combination

The Business Combination is expected to be accounted for as a share-based payment transaction in accordance with IFRS 2. Management has evaluated all the indicators of control from IFRS 10 and IFRS 3. Although there is a higher level of judgement when it comes to the analysis of the conditions set forth in IFRS 3, we believe that the indicators of relative voting rights, composition of governing body, composition of senior management, terms of exchange, relative size, and other factors favored EUR as the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, management has determined that EUR is the accounting acquirer under IFRS 3 and the SPAC is considered to be the accounting acquiree for financial reporting purposes. Under this method of accounting, the ongoing financial statements of Pubco will reflect the net assets of the Company, the accounting predecessor at historical cost, with no additional goodwill recognized.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

For a discussion summarizing certain U.S. federal income tax considerations in connection with the Business Combination, please see section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Sizzle Appraisal Rights

Under the DGCL, there are no appraisal rights available to holders of shares of Sizzle Common Stock, Sizzle Units or Sizzle Warrants in connection with the Business Combination.

Pubco Appraisal Rights

Following the Business Combination, under the BVI Business Companies Act (As Revised) of the BVI (the “BVI Companies Act”), the Combined Company’s shareholders will have certain “dissenter rights”. The BVI Companies Act provides that any shareholder of a company is entitled to payment of the fair value of such shareholder’s shares upon dissenting from any of the following: (a) a merger (except in certain limited circumstances); (b) a consolidation; (c) any sale, transfer, lease, exchange or other disposition of more than 50 per cent in value of the assets or business of the company if not made in the usual or regular course of the business carried on by the company but not including (i) a disposition pursuant to an order of the court having jurisdiction in the matter, (ii) a disposition for money on terms requiring all or substantially all net proceeds to be distributed to the members in accordance with their respective interest within one year after the date of disposition, or (iii) a transfer pursuant to the power of the directors to transfer assets for the protection thereof; (d) a redemption of 10 per cent, or fewer of the issued shares of the company required by the holders of 90 per cent, or more of the shares of the company pursuant to the terms of the BVI Companies Act; and (e) an arrangement, if permitted by the court.

Redemption Rights

In connection with the Business Combination, holders of Sizzle Common Stock may elect to have their shares redeemed for cash at the applicable redemption price per share calculated in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation. As of December 5, 2022, the pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account for the public shares was approximately $10.32 per share (less taxes paid or payable). If a holder exercises its redemption rights, then such holder will be exchanging its shares of Sizzle Common Stock for cash and will no longer own shares of Sizzle Common Stock and will not participate as a future stockholder of Pubco. Our public stockholders are not required to affirmatively vote for or against the Business Combination in order to redeem their shares of common stock for cash. This means that public stockholders who hold shares of Sizzle Common Stock on or before            , 2023 (two (2) business days before the Special Meeting) will be eligible to elect to have their shares of Sizzle Common Stock redeemed for cash in connection with the Special Meeting, whether or not they are holders as of the Record Date, and whether or not such shares are voted at the Special Meeting. To redeem their shares of Sizzle Common Stock for cash, holders of Sizzle Common Stock can demand Sizzle to convert their public shares into cash and tender their shares to Sizzle’s transfer agent in accordance with the procedures described herein. See the section entitled “Special Meeting of Sizzle Stockholders — Redemption Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your shares for cash. The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will

48

Table of Contents

be consummated only if the Condition Precedent Proposals (consisting of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendments Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal) are approved at the Special Meeting. The Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals, the ESPP Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal in each case is not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Directors and Officers of Pubco following the Business Combination

Upon the Closing, Pubco’s board of directors will consist of five directors, including one director designated by Sizzle. The Company will have the right to appoint the remaining members of the five-member board of directors. The director appointed by Sizzle and two of the directors appointed by the Company are required to be independent directors under Nasdaq rules. Upon the Closing, Pubco’s board of directors will be divided into three classes and will have staggered three-year terms.

Pubco’s directors and executive officers upon consummation of the Business Combination, and their ages, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, are expected to be as follows:

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Pubco and Sizzle are providing the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to aid you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the Business Combination.

The following tables present, as of the dates and for the periods presented, unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information of Pubco and its consolidated subsidiaries after giving effect to the consummation of the Business Combination. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X (as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses”) and is provided to aid you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the Business Combination.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 combines the historical balance sheet of each of the Company and Sizzle as of June 30, 2022, giving pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had occurred on June 30, 2022. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2022 combines the historical statement of operations of the Company for the year ended June 30, 2022 and the historical statement of operations of Sizzle for the period from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022, giving pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had occurred on July 1, 2021. The historical financial information of the Company was derived from the audited financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022; and the historical financial information of Sizzle was derived from the audited financial statements of Sizzle as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and for the year ended December 31, 2021 and for the period from October 12, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 that are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The historical financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and in its presentation currency of the U.S. dollar. The presentation currency of the Company has been determined to be U.S. dollars reflecting the current principal equity and financing structure. The results and financial position of the Company and any of its subsidiaries (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency in accordance with the accounting policy outlined in the audited financial statements of the Company. The historical financial statements of Sizzle have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and in its presentation currency of the U.S. dollar. Following the Business Combination, Pubco will qualify as a foreign private issuer and will prepare its financial statements in accordance with IFRS. Accordingly, the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with IFRS, and no material accounting policy difference is identified in converting Sizzle’s historical financial statements to IFRS. See “Important Information about U.S. GAAP and IFRS.” The historical financial information of the Company included in the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been presented in its presentation currency of the U.S. dollar.

Assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited pro forma adjustments reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are described in the accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to indicate the operating results and financial position that would have been achieved had the Business Combination occurred on the dates indicated. Further, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not consider any potential impacts of changes in market conditions on revenues, expense efficiencies, asset dispositions, acquisitions, and share repurchases, among other factors. The unaudited pro forma adjustments represent management’s estimates based on information available as of the date of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and analyses are performed. As a result, actual results may differ materially from the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented in this section.

The Business Combination is expected to be accounted for as a share-based payment transaction in accordance with IFRS 2. Management has evaluated all the indicators of control from IFRS 10 and IFRS 3. Although there is a higher level of judgement when it comes to the analysis of the conditions set forth in IFRS 3, we believe that the indicators of relative voting rights, composition of governing body, composition of senior management, terms of exchange, relative size, and other factors favored EUR as the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, management has determined that EUR is the accounting acquirer under IFRS 3 and the SPAC is considered to be the accounting acquiree for financial reporting purposes. Under this method of accounting, the ongoing financial statements of Pubco will reflect the net assets of the Company, the accounting predecessor at historical cost, with no additional goodwill recognized.

52

Table of Contents

The Company has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances under both the minimum and maximum redemption scenarios:

•        European Lithium, the Company’s sole shareholder, will have the largest portion of relative voting rights in Pubco (regardless of the number of public stockholders that elect to have their public shares redeemed in connection with the Business Combination);

•        the initial Pubco Board is expected to consist of five directors at the closing of the Business Combination, with four directors nominated by European Lithium and one directors nominated by Sizzle;

•        the Company’s existing operations will represent all the ongoing operations of the post-combination company; and

•        the purpose and intent of the Business Combination is to create an operating public company, with management continuing to use the assets of the Company to grow the business.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the assumptions below with respect to the potential redemption by public stockholders of public shares for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account (as of two business days prior to the Closing):

•        Assuming No Redemptions: This presentation assumes that no Sizzle public stockholders exercise redemption rights with respect to their shares.

•        Assuming 50% Redemptions: This presentation assumes that half of all public Sizzle stockholders, or 7,750,000 shares in the aggregate, exercise their redemption rights for approximately $79.05 million of funds in the Trust Account as of December 5, 2022, or approximately $10.20 per share.

•        Assuming Maximum Redemptions: This presentation assumes that 14,550,770 shares of Sizzle common stock are redeemed (reflecting a redemption rate of 93.9%) for a total amount of approximately $148.4 million of funds in the Trust Account as of September 30, 2022, or approximately $10.20 per share. Such number of assumed redeemed shares reflects the maximum number of shares of Sizzle common stock that may be redeemed taking into account the satisfaction of the $5,000,001 minimum net tangible asset test whilst assuming the deferral of payment of transaction expenses and deferred underwriting fees. Under this scenario, the Minimum Cash Condition described above would not be satisfied, and therefore the parties to the Business Combination Agreement would need to obtain additional financing or the Minimum Cash Condition would need to be waived in accordance with its terms.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented under each redemptions scenario in the tables below is only presented for illustrative purposes. Sizzle cannot predict how many public stockholders will exercise their right to have their public shares redeemed for cash. As a result, the redemption amount and the number of public shares redeemed in connection with the Business Combination may differ from the amounts assumed in the preparation of the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. As a result, actual results may also differ from the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented in this section if the actual redemptions are different from these assumptions. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Sizzle and the Business Combination — The ability of Sizzle’s public shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of Sizzle’s outstanding public shares could increase the possibility that the Business Combination would limit Pubco’s working capital, liquidity and public float following the Business Combination.”

____________

(1)      Please see the table below entitled “Additional Dilution Sources” showing dilution from exercise of Sizzle Warrant above.

(2)      Amount shown represents share redemption levels reflecting 50% of the redeemable public shares outstanding (approximately 7,750,000 shares).

(3)      Assumes that approximately 93.9% of Sizzle’s outstanding public shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination.

The ownership percentages set forth above and in the tables below include the shares issuable to the parties listed, but do not take into account (i) any shares reserved for issuance under the Incentive Plan or ESPP, (ii) the issuance of any shares relating to any additional private placement shares that are issued or issuable to our Sponsor pursuant to the conversion of the Sponsor’s up to $1.5 million working capital loans, if any, made to Sizzle, (iii) any issuance of shares underlying the Sizzle Warrants (which after the Business Combination, will be exchanged for the Pubco Warrants), (iv) the Earnout Shares, (v) any backstop commitments or capital raising transactions, or (vi) any adjustments to the Merger Consideration payable to EUR pursuant to terms set forth in the Merger Agreement. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” for further information regarding the various redemption scenarios and the assumptions used in each.

Share ownership and the related voting power presented under each redemptions scenario in the table above are only presented for illustrative purposes. Sizzle cannot predict how many Sizzle public stockholders will exercise their right to have their shares redeemed for cash. As a result, the redemption amount and the number of public shares redeemed in connection with the Business Combination may differ from the amounts presented above. As such, the ownership percentages of current Sizzle stockholders may also differ from the presentation above if the actual redemptions are different from these assumptions.

In addition, the following table illustrates varying ownership levels of holders of Sizzle Warrants in Pubco Ordinary Shares immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination based on the varying levels of redemptions by the public shareholders, on a fully diluted basis, showing full exercise of Sizzle Warrants (which upon the occurrence of the Business Combination are exchanged for Pubco Warrants). The assumptions discussed above continue to apply other than that exercise of Sizzle Warrants. The table below does not adjust present adjustment for all of the holders described above, on a percentage basis, but only presents the percentages for holders of Sizzle Warrants assuming they exercised their warrants immediately after the closing of the Business Combination (although the terms of the Sizzle Warrant only allow exercise beginning 30 days after the Closing and only at an exercise price of $11.50 per share). The Sizzle Warrants are not subject to redemption, and accordingly will remain outstanding under any referenced redemption scenario, although given the exercise price of $11.50 per share they are unlikely to be exercised unless Pubco Ordinary Shares trade above such exercise price:

(1)      All share numbers and percentages for the “Additional Dilution Sources” are presented without the potential reduction of any amounts paid by the holders of the given “Additional Dilution Sources” and therefore may overstate the presentation of dilution. Calculation does not give effect to the exercise price of $11.50 paid upon exercise of the Sizzle Warrants.

Table of Contents

(2)      Amount shown represents share redemption levels reflecting 50% of the redeemable public shares outstanding (approximately 7,750,000 shares).

(3)      Assumes that approximately 93.9% of Sizzle’s outstanding public shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination.

(4)      Assumes exercise of all Sizzle Warrants exercisable to purchase 7,750,000 shares of Sizzle Common Stock. Assumes exchange of all Sizzle Warrants for Pubco Warrants in connection with the Business Combination.

In addition to the changes in percentage ownership depicted above, variation in the levels of redemptions will impact the dilutive effect of certain equity issuances related to the Business Combination, which would not otherwise be present in an underwritten public offering. Increasing levels of redemptions will increase the dilutive effect of these issuances on non-redeeming holders of our public shares.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED
FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. Basis of Presentation

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a common control business combination whereby Pubco will be the successor to the Company, which is the accounting predecessor. The common control business combination will be immediately followed by Pubco acquiring Sizzle, which will be effectuated by Merger Sub merging with and into Sizzle, with Sizzle being the surviving entity. As Sizzle will not be recognized as a business under IFRS given it consists primarily of cash in Sizzle’s operating account and in the Trust Account, Pubco’s acquisition of Sizzle will be treated as an asset acquisition. Under this method of accounting, the ongoing financial statements of Pubco will reflect the net assets of the Company and Sizzle at historical cost, with no additional goodwill recognized. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of the Company.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 assumes that the Business Combination occurred on June 30, 2022. The period is presented on the basis of the Company as the accounting acquirer.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

•        Sizzle’s unaudited condensed interim balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 and the related notes; and

•        the Company’s audited consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 and the related notes, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2022 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

•        Sizzle’s unaudited condensed interim statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the related notes and the audited financial statements of Sizzle for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and the period from October 12, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2021 and the related notes, and Sizzle’s statement of operations for the twelve months ended June 30, 2022 were derived from the statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 added to the information for the six months ended December 31, 2021; and

•        the Company’s audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2022 and the related notes, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

This information should also be read together with “Company’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Sizzle’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and other financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Sizzle management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented.

There is no historical activity with respect to Pubco and Merger Sub, and accordingly, no adjustments were required with respect to these entities in the pro forma combined financial statements.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not include the effect of exercising the 7,750,000 Sizzle Warrants which will be assumed by Pubco and will be exercisable for one Pubco Ordinary Share in accordance with the terms of the Assignment and Assumption of Warrant Agreement, because the exercise of such warrants is subject to certain terms and conditions as set forth in the Assignment and Assumption of Warrant Agreement. Issuance of such Pubco Ordinary Shares would have a further dilutive effect on existing holders of Pubco Ordinary Shares as described in further detail in “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Total Shares to be Issued in the Business Combination.”

Table of Contents

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not include the effect of the issuance of any portion of the Earnout Consideration equal to a number of Pubco Ordinary Shares equal to 10% of the Closing Share Consideration (representing approximately 7,352,941 Pubco Ordinary Shares valued at $10.20), because the issuance of such Earnout Consideration is subject to certain terms and conditions as set forth in the Merger Agreement. Issuance of such Earnout Consideration would have a further dilutive effect on existing holders of Pubco Ordinary Shares as described in further detail in “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Total Shares to be Issued in the Business Combination.”

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not include any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings or cost savings that may be associated with the Business Combination. The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the Business Combination are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that Sizzle believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma adjustments, which are described in these notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments, and it is possible the difference may be material. Sizzle believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the Business Combination based on information available to management at this time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Business Combination taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the post-combination company. They should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of each of Sizzle and the Company.

2. Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

General

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Business Combination and related transactions and has been prepared for informational purposes only.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X (as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses”). Release No. 33-10786 replaces the previous pro forma adjustment criteria with simplified requirements to depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”). Pubco has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and is only presenting Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The pro forma condensed combined provision for income taxes does not necessarily reflect the amounts that would have resulted had Pubco filed consolidated income tax returns during the periods presented.

The pro forma basic and diluted net loss per Pubco Ordinary Share amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations are based upon the number of Pubco Ordinary Shares outstanding, assuming the Business Combination occurred on July 1, 2021.

Transaction Accounting Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet

The Transaction Accounting Adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 are as follows:

RISK FACTORS

Stockholders should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this proxy statement/prospectus, before they decide whether to vote or instruct their vote to be cast to approve the Proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to “European Lithium AT (Investments) Limited,” or the “Company” refer to European Lithium AT (Investments) Limited and its subsidiaries prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, which will be the business of Pubco and its subsidiaries following the consummation of the Business Combination. The occurrence of one or more of the events or circumstances described in these risk factors, alone or in combination with other events or circumstances, may have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and future prospects of Pubco, in which event the market price of Pubco Ordinary Shares could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment.

Risks Relating to the Company

Risks Related to our Business and our Industry

Our business operates in the mining exploration and development industry. Our Project is at the development stage, and there are no guarantees that development of the Project into a mine will occur or that such development will result in the commercial extraction of mineral deposits. In addition, even if an economic mineral deposit is mined, we may not realize profits from our development activities in the short, medium or long term.

We are engaged in the business of exploring and developing mineral properties with the intention of locating economic deposits of minerals. We have declared mineral resources but have not yet begun to extract mineral from our property interests. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will realize profits in the medium to long term. Any profitability in the future from our business will be dependent upon development of an economic deposit of minerals and further exploration and development of other economic deposits of minerals, each of which is subject to numerous risk factors. Further, we cannot assure you that any of our property interests can be commercially mined or that our ongoing exploration programs will result in profitable commercial mining operations. The exploration and development of mineral deposits involves a high degree of financial risk over a significant period of time which may or may not be eliminated through a combination of careful evaluation, experience and skilled management. While discovery of additional ore-bearing deposits may result in substantial rewards, few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Major expenses may be required to construct mining and processing facilities and to establish additional reserves. The profitability of our operations will be, in part, directly related to the cost and success of our exploration and development programs which may be affected by a number of factors. Additional expenditures are required to construct, complete and install mining and processing facilities in those properties that are actually mined and developed.

In addition, exploration and development projects like ours have no operating history upon which to base estimates of future operating costs and capital requirements. Exploration project items, such as any future estimates of reserves, metal recoveries or cash operating costs will, to a large extent, be based upon the interpretation of geologic data obtained from a limited number of drill holes and other sampling techniques, and future feasibility studies. Actual operating costs and economic returns of any and all exploration projects may materially differ from the costs and returns estimated, and accordingly our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be negatively affected.

There can be no assurance that we will deliver a definitive feasibility study that supports the economic viability of the Project moving forward or that the assumptions used in the definitive feasibility study to underpin the viability of the Project (including, but not limited to, the prices of lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide) will remain true and correct in the future.

We are in the exploration stage and our planned principal operations have not commenced. There is currently no commercial production on our properties and we have not yet completed a definitive feasibility study. Until that time, we cannot be confident that the mine will operate profitably. We have conducted a preliminary feasibility study, which has returned positive results. However, results obtained from preliminary feasibility studies are inherently less certain than data from a definitive feasibility study.

64

Table of Contents

The business of exploring for minerals and mining involves a high degree of risk. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing, profitable mines. In developing its mineral deposits, we will be subjected to an array of complex economic factors and accordingly there is no assurance that a positive definitive feasibility study or any projected results contained in a feasibility study of a mineral deposit will be attained. Additional potential problems that may prevent us from discovering any reserves of minerals on our property include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. Most of these factors are beyond our control, and any of them could increase costs and make extraction of any identified mineral resource unprofitable. In addition, the estimation of mineral resources (as well as mineral reserves) is a subjective process that is partially dependent upon the judgment of the persons preparing the estimates. The process relies on the quantity and quality of available data and is based on knowledge, mining experience, statistical analysis of drilling results and industry practices. Valid estimates made at a given time may significantly change when new information becomes available.

We cannot assure you that the definitive feasibility study, if completed, will identify economically extractable mineralization, nor can we make assurances regarding the quantity or grade of any mineralization we seek to extract. Our exploration prospects may not contain any reserves, and any funds spent on feasibility studies and exploration may be lost. Even for the ore reserves reported on the preliminary feasibility study, any quantity or grade of reserves indicated must be considered as estimates only until such reserves are actually mined. We do not know with certainty that economically recoverable lithium exists on our properties. In addition, the quantity of any reserves may vary depending on commodity prices. Any material change in the quantity or grade of reserves may affect the economic viability of our properties.

Our future performance is difficult to evaluate because we have a limited operating history in the mining, energy and resources sector, including in the battery metals industry.

We have not realized any revenues to date from the sale of lithium, and our operating cash flow needs have been financed primarily through the issuances of debt and equity raises and not through cash flows derived from our operations. As a result, we have little historical financial and operating information available to help you evaluate our performance.

Our long-term success will depend ultimately on implementing our business strategy and operational plan, as well as our ability to generate revenues, achieve and maintain profitability and develop positive cash flows from our mining activities.

Our ability to (i) recover carrying values of our assets, (ii) acquire additional lithium projects, (iii) continue with exploration, development, commissioning, and mining and (iv) manufacture lithium hydroxide ultimately depends on our ability to generate revenues, achieve and maintain profitability and generate positive cash flow from our operations. The economic viability of our future mining activities has many risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to:

•        a significant, prolonged decrease in the market price of lithium or lithium hydroxide;

•        difficulty in marketing and/or selling lithium or lithium hydroxide;

•        significantly higher than expected capital costs to construct our mine;

•        significantly higher than expected extraction costs;

•        significantly lower than expected lithium extraction;

•        significant delays, reductions or stoppages of lithium extraction activities;

•        shortages of adequate and skilled labor or a significant increase in labor costs;

•        the introduction of significantly more stringent regulatory laws and regulations; and

•        delays in the availability of construction equipment.

65

Table of Contents

Our future mining and lithium manufacturing activities may change as a result of any one or more of these risks and uncertainties. We cannot assure you that any deposit from which we extract mineralized materials will result in achieving and maintaining profitability and developing positive cash flows.

Our business strategy is to source battery-grade lithium hydroxide to supply the electric vehicle and battery storage markets. Consequently, our growth depends upon the continued growth in demand for electric vehicles with high performance lithium compounds.

We aim to be one of a few producers of performance lithium compounds that are a critical input in current and next generation high energy density batteries used in electric vehicle applications. Our growth is dependent upon the continued adoption of electric vehicles by consumers. If the market for electric vehicles does not develop as we expect, or develops more slowly than we expect, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations will be affected. The market for electric vehicles is relatively new, rapidly evolving, and could be affected by numerous external factors, such as:

•        government regulations and automakers’ responses to those regulations;

•        tax and economic incentives;

•        rates of consumer adoption, which is driven in part by perceptions about electric vehicle features (including range per charge), quality, safety, performance, cost and charging infrastructure;

•        competition, including from other types of alternative fuel vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and high fuel-economy internal combustion engine vehicles;

•        volatility in the cost of battery materials, oil and gasoline;

•        rates of customer adoption of higher performance lithium compounds;

•        the environmental impacts of lithium mining; and

•        rates of development and adoption of next generation high nickel battery technologies and hydrogen fuel cells.

Our long-term success depends, in part, on our ability to negotiate and enter into binding offtake or sales agreements with, and deliver our product to, third party customers on commercially viable terms. This may not occur or, should it occur, may not result in the appreciation of our share price similar of what other companies in our industry have experienced following the announcement of such agreements.

Our success depends on our ability to generate revenue and operate profitably, which depends in part on our ability to identify target customers and convert such contacts into meaningful orders or expand on current customer relationships. We do not currently have any revenue or definitive off-take or sales agreements with customers in place. If we are unable to negotiate, finalize and maintain such agreements and satisfy the conditions thereto in order to enter into definitive agreements, or are only able to do so on terms that are unfavorable to us, we will not be able to generate any revenue, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition.

We anticipate that in some cases our products will be delivered to certain customers on an early trial deployment basis, where such customers have the ability to evaluate whether our products meet their performance requirements before they commit to meaningful orders. If our targeted customers do not commit to make meaningful orders, or at all, it could adversely affect our business, prospects and results of operations. Our customers may require protections in the form of price reductions and similar arrangements that allow them to require us to deliver additional product or reimburse them for losses they suffer as a result of our late delivery or failure to meet agreed upon performance specification. Delays in delivery of our products, unexpected performance problems or other events could cause us to fail to meet these contractual commitments, resulting in delays in obtaining necessary materials used in our production process, defects in material or workmanship or unexpected problems in our manufacturing process, which could lead to unanticipated revenue and earnings losses and financial penalties. The occurrence of any of these events could harm our business, prospects, results of operations and financial results.

66

Table of Contents

Even if we do enter into offtake and/or sales agreements, we may fail to deliver the product required by such agreements or may experience production costs in excess of the fixed price to be paid to us under such agreements. In December 2022, we entered into a long-term Offtake Agreement (the “Offtake Agreement”) with European auto manufacturer, BMW. The Offtake Agreement is conditioned upon the successful start of commercial production at the Wolfsberg Project and full product qualification and certification. In connection with the execution of the Offtake Agreement, BMW has agreed to make an advance payment of US$15.0 million to us to be repaid through equal set offs against battery grade lithium hydroxide delivered to BMW. Please see the section entitled “Information about the Company — Offtake Agreement with BMW AG” for more details on the Offtake Agreement. Our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected if we are unable to (i) realize the expected benefits under the Offtake Agreement; (ii) enter into similar agreements with other buyers; (iii) deliver the products required by such agreements; or (iv) experience costs in excess of the price set forth in such agreements.

We may seek to raise further funds through equity or debt financing, joint ventures, production sharing arrangements or other means. Consequently, we depend on our ability to successfully access the capital and financial markets. Any inability to access the capital or financial markets may limit our ability to fund our ongoing operations, execute our business plan or pursue investments that we may rely on for future growth.

Until commercial production is achieved from our planned projects, we will continue to incur operating and investing net cash outflows associated with including, but not limited to, maintaining and acquiring exploration properties, undertaking ongoing exploration activities and the funding obligations to develop the assets of our planned projects. As a result, we have historically relied upon European Lithium’s access to capital markets as a source of funding for our capital and operating requirements, and we will continue to rely on capital markets if and when we are listed on Nasdaq. We will require additional capital to fund our ongoing operations, explore and define lithium mineralization and establish any future mining or lithium manufacturing operations. We cannot assure you that such additional funding will be available to us on satisfactory terms, or at all.

In order to finance our future ongoing operations and future capital needs, we will require additional funds through the issuance of additional equity or debt securities. Depending on the type and terms of any financing we pursue, shareholders’ rights and the value of their investment in our ordinary shares could be reduced. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings. If the issuance of new securities results in diminished rights to holders of our ordinary shares, the market price of our ordinary shares could be negatively impacted. New or additional debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. In addition, if we issue secured debt securities, the holders of the debt would have a claim to our assets that would be prior to the rights of shareholders until the debt is paid. Interest on such debt securities would increase costs and negatively impact operating results.

If we are unable to obtain additional financing, as needed, at competitive rates, our ability to fund our current operations and implement our business plan and strategy will be affected, and we would be required to reduce the scope of our operations and scale back our exploration, development and mining programs. There is, however, no guarantee that we will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding which will provide us with sufficient funds to meet our objectives, which may adversely affect our business and financial position. Certain market disruptions may increase our cost of borrowing or affect our ability to access one or more financial markets. Such market disruptions could result from:

•        adverse economic conditions, including inflationary factors and recessionary fears;

•        adverse general capital market conditions, including rising interest rates;

•        poor performance and health of the lithium or mining industries in general;

•        bankruptcy or financial distress of unrelated lithium companies or marketers;

•        significant decrease in the demand for lithium; or

•        adverse regulatory actions that affect our exploration and construction plans or the use of lithium generally.

Table of Contents

The mining industry is capital intensive, and we may be unable to fund our capital requirements or meet contractual commitments.

Mining requires a substantial amount of capital in order to identify and delineate mineral reserves and mineral resources through geological mapping and drilling, to identify geological features that may prevent or restrict the extraction of ore, to construct mining and processing facilities, expand production capacity (including by sinking or deepening existing shafts), to replenish reserves, to purchase, maintain and improve assets, equipment and infrastructure, to comply with legal or regulatory requirements or industry standards as well as to meet unexpected liabilities. Large amounts of capital are required to implement projects, and long-term production and processing requires both significant capital expenditure and ongoing maintenance expenditure. We expect to materially increase our capital expenditures to support the growth in our business and operations. Our business plan is based on, among other things, expectations as to capital expenditures and if we are unable to fund those capital expenditures we will not achieve the targets set forth in our business plan or be able to develop future capital projects. If we are unable to fund our planned capital expenditure projects as a result of our operations being unable to generate sufficient cash flow or as a result of difficulties in raising debt or equity funding to support future capital expenditures and investments, we may no longer be able to complete existing capital projects. In addition, we may be unable to develop new capital projects so as to continue production at cost-effective levels. Furthermore, any such reduction in capital expenditure may cause us to forego some of the benefits of any future increases in commodity prices, as it is generally costly or impossible to resume production immediately or complete a deferred expansionary capital expenditure project, which in the longer term may adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition.

Changes in technology or other developments could adversely affect demand for lithium compounds or result in preferences for substitute products.

Lithium and its derivatives are preferred raw materials for certain industrial applications, such as rechargeable batteries. For example, current and future high energy density batteries for use in electric vehicles will rely on lithium compounds as a critical input. The pace of advances in current battery technologies, development and adoption of new battery technologies that rely on inputs other than lithium compounds (such as sulfur and aluminum), the acceptance of hydrogen fuel cells in transport applications or a delay in the development and adoption of future high nickel battery technologies that utilize lithium hydroxide could significantly impact our prospects and future revenues. Many materials and technologies are being researched and developed with the goal of making batteries lighter, more efficient, faster charging and less expensive, some of which could be less reliant on lithium hydroxide or other lithium compounds. Some of these technologies, such as commercialized battery technologies that use no, or significantly less, lithium compounds, could be successful and could adversely affect demand for lithium batteries in personal electronics, electric and hybrid vehicles and other applications. We cannot predict which new technologies may ultimately prove to be commercially viable and on what time horizon. In addition, alternatives to industrial applications dependent on lithium compounds may become more economically attractive as global commodity prices shift. Our investment in our research and development infrastructure may not lead to marketable products. Additionally, our competitors may improve their technologies or even achieve technological breakthroughs either as alternatives to lithium-based battery systems or improvements on existing lithium-based battery systems that would render our products obsolete or less marketable. Any of these events could adversely affect demand for and market prices of lithium, thereby resulting in a material adverse effect on the economic feasibility of extracting any mineralization we discover and reducing or eliminating any reserves we identify.

Our possible future revenues will be mainly derived from the sale of lithium and lithium byproducts. Consequently, our success largely depends on the market price of lithium remaining higher than our costs of any future production (assuming successful exploration and development of the Project).

We expect to derive revenues, if any, from the extraction and sale of lithium and lithium byproducts. The prices of lithium and lithium byproducts may fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including international, economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rates, global or regional consumptive patterns, speculative activities, increased production due to new extraction developments and improved extraction and production methods and technological changes in the markets for the end products. The effect of these factors on the prices of lithium and lithium byproducts, and therefore the economic viability of any of our exploration properties, cannot accurately be predicted.

Additionally, new production of lithium hydroxide or lithium carbonate from current or new competitors in the lithium markets could adversely affect prices. In recent years, new and existing competitors have increased the supply of lithium hydroxide and lithium carbonate, which has affected its price. Further production increases could negatively affect prices. There is limited information on the status of new lithium hydroxide production capacity expansion projects being developed by current and potential competitors and, as such, we cannot make accurate projections regarding the capacities of possible new entrants into the market and the dates on which they could become operational. If these potential projects are completed in the short term, they could adversely affect market lithium prices, thereby resulting in a material adverse effect on the economic feasibility of extracting any mineralization we discover and reducing or eliminating any reserves we identify.

When compared to many industrial and commercial operations, mining exploration and development projects are high risk and subject to uncertainties. Each mineral resource is unique and the nature of the mineralization, and the occurrence and grade of the lithium, as well as its behavior during mining, can never be wholly predicted. Our mineral resource estimates may be materially different from mineral quantities we may ultimately recover, our life-of-mine estimates may prove inaccurate and changes in operating and capital costs may render mineral resources uneconomic to mine.

We report our mineral resources in accordance with the requirements of the Modernization of Property Disclosures for Mining Registrants set forth in subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of mineral resources and in projecting potential future rates of mineral production, including many factors beyond our control. The accuracy of any mineral reserve or mineral resource estimate is a function of a number of factors, including the quality of the methodologies employed, the quality and quantity of available data and geological interpretation and judgment, and is also dependent on economic conditions and market prices being generally in line with estimates.

Furthermore, estimates of different geologists and mining engineers may vary, and results of our mining and production subsequent to the date of an estimate may lead to revision of estimates due to, for example, reduced recovery rates or increased production costs due to inflation or other factors which may render mineral reserves and mineral resources containing lower grades of mineralization uneconomic to exploit and may ultimately result in a restatement mineral reserves and/or mineral resources and may adversely impact future cash flows. Further, mineral estimates are based on limited sampling and, consequently, are uncertain as the samples may not be representative of the entire deposit and mineral resource. As a better understanding of a deposit is obtained, the estimates may change significantly. In addition, the mineral reserves we ultimately exploit may not conform to geological, metallurgical or other expectations and the volume and grade of mineralization recovered may be below the estimated levels. Mineral reserve and mineral resource data is not indicative of future production. To mitigate this risk we appoint independent third parties to review our mineral reserves and mineral resources on a cycle of at least once in every year. Similarly, all mining project feasibility studies are subject to independent reviews prior to any application for capital approval by our board of directors.

Substantial capital expenditure is required to identify and delineate mineral reserves and mineral resources through geological surveying and drilling, to identify geological features that may prevent or restrict the extraction of mineralization, to determine the metallurgical processes to extract the metals from the mineralization and, in the case of new properties, to construct mining and processing facilities.

There can be no assurance that we will in the long term be able to identify additional mineral reserves or mineral resources or continue to extend the mine life of our existing operations. Without such additional mineral reserves and mineral resources, any increase in the level of annual production would therefore shorten the life of our existing operations. Any failure to identify, delineate and realize mineral reserves and mineral resources in the future could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The industry in which we operate is subject to domestic and global competition. We have no influence or control over the activities or actions of our competitors, which activities or actions may negatively affect the operating and financial performance of our projects and business.

The mining industry is highly competitive. Much of our competition is from larger, established mining companies with greater liquidity, greater access to credit and other financial resources, newer or more efficient equipment, lower cost structures, more effective risk management policies, more staff and equipment, and procedures and/or a greater ability than us to withstand losses. Our competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new laws or regulations or emerging technologies, or devote greater resources to the expansion or efficiency of their operations than we can, or expend greater amounts of resources, including capital, in acquiring new and prospective mining projects. In addition, current and potential competitors may make strategic acquisitions or establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties. Accordingly, it is possible that new competitors or alliances among current and new competitors may emerge and gain significant market share to our detriment. We may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors, and any failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

If we fail to retain our key personnel or if we fail to attract additional qualified personnel, we may not be able to achieve our anticipated level of growth and our business could suffer.

We highly value the contributions of our senior management and key personnel, particularly our Executive Chairman, Tony Sage. Our success continues to depend largely upon the performance of key officers, employees and consultants who have advanced us to our current stage of development and contributed to our potential for future growth. The market for qualified talent has become increasingly competitive, with shortages of qualified talent relative to the number of available opportunities being experienced in all markets where we conduct our operations. The ability to remain competitive by offering higher compensation packages and programs for growth and development of personnel, with a view to retaining existing talent and attracting new talent, has become increasingly important to us and our operations in the current climate. We may not be able to replace our senior management or key personnel with persons of equivalent expertise and experience within a reasonable period of time or at all if one or more of our senior management and key personnel are not retained, and we may incur additional expenses to recruit, train and retain additional personnel. Any prolonged inability to retain key individuals, or to attract and retain new talent as we grow, could have a material adverse effect upon our growth potential and prospects.

Additionally, we have not purchased any “key-man” insurance for our directors, officers or key employees and currently have no plan to do so.

Any failure by management to manage growth properly could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Future growth may place strains on our financial, technical, operational and administrative resources and cause us to rely more on project partners and independent contractors, thus, potentially adversely affecting our financial position and results of operations. Our ability to grow will depend on a number of factors, including:

•        our ability to purchase, obtain leases on or obtain options on properties;

•        our ability to identify and acquire new exploratory prospects;

•        our ability to develop existing prospects;

•        our ability to continue to retain and attract skilled personnel;

•        our ability to maintain or enter into new relationships with project partners and independent contractors;

•        the results of our exploration programs;

•        the market price for lithium;

•        our ability to successfully complete construction projects on time and within budget;

•        our access to capital; and

•        our ability to enter into agreements for the sale of lithium.

We may not be successful in upgrading our technical, operational and administrative resources or increasing our internal resources sufficiently to provide certain of the services currently provided by third parties. Our inability to achieve or manage growth may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Land reclamation and mine closure may be burdensome and costly.

Land reclamation and mine closure requirements are generally imposed on mineral exploration companies, such as ours, which require us, among other things, to minimize the effects of land disturbance. Such requirements may include controlling the discharge of potentially dangerous effluents from a site and restoring a site’s landscape to its pre-exploration form. The actual costs of reclamation and mine closure are uncertain and planned expenditures may differ from the actual expenditures required. Therefore, the amount that we are required to spend could be materially higher than any current or future estimates. Any additional amounts we are required to spend on reclamation and mine closure may have a material adverse effect on our financial performance, financial position and results of operations and may cause us to alter our operations. In addition, we may be required to maintain financial assurances, such as letters of credit, to secure reclamation obligations under certain laws and regulations. The failure to acquire, maintain or renew such financial assurances could subject us to fines and penalties or suspension of our operations. Letters of credit or other forms of financial assurance may represent only a portion of the total amount of money that will be spent on reclamation over the life of a mine’s operation. Although we will include liabilities for estimated reclamation and mine closure costs in our financial statements, it may be necessary to spend more than what we projected to fund required reclamation and mine closure activities.

Our success depends on developing and maintaining relationships with local communities and stakeholders.

Our ongoing and future success depends on developing and maintaining productive relationships with the communities surrounding our mineral projects, including those people who may have rights or may assert rights to certain of our properties and other stakeholders in our operating locations. Local communities and stakeholders may be dissatisfied with our activities or the level of benefits provided, which may result in legal or administrative proceedings, civil unrest, protests, direct action or campaigns against us. Any such occurrence could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations, as well as our ability to commence or continue exploration or mine development activities.

We are exposed to general economic conditions and the fluctuations of interest and inflation rates may have an adverse effect on our business.

If the global or U.S. economies experience a high inflation rate, recession or economic slowdown, consumers may not be able to purchase our products as usual, especially where these factors have a direct impact on the consumers. As a consequence, our earnings may be adversely affected.

High interest rates in Europe, Australia, the U.S., or elsewhere could adversely affect our costs and earnings due to the impact those changes have on our variable-rate debt instruments.

A strong variation in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar could negatively affect our financial results, as a greater percentage of our sales and raw material purchases are not made in U.S. dollars. Furthermore, we could be adversely affected by negative economic conditions prevalent in the U.S. or other countries (including economic volatility as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic), even when economic conditions in such countries may differ significantly from economic conditions in Europe or Australia, as investors’ reactions to developments in any of these other countries may have an adverse effect on our securities. Consequently, the market value of our securities may be adversely affected by events taking place outside of Europe, Australia or the U.S.

Our business may be adversely affected by force majeure events outside our control, including labor unrest, civil disorder, war, subversive activities or sabotage, extreme weather conditions, fires, floods, explosions or other catastrophes, epidemics or quarantine restrictions.

Natural or environmental disasters, such as earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis and other severe weather-related phenomena generally, and widespread disease, including pandemics and epidemics (such as COVID-19), have been and can be highly disruptive to economies and markets and have recently led, and may continue to lead, to increased market volatility and significant market losses. Such natural disaster and health crises

71

Table of Contents

could exacerbate political, social and economic risks previously mentioned, and result in significant breakdowns, delays, shutdowns, social isolation and other disruptions to important global, local and regional supply chains affected, with potential corresponding results on our operating performance. A climate of uncertainty and panic, including the contagion of infectious viruses or diseases, may adversely affect global, regional and local economies and increase the difficulty of modeling market conditions, potentially reducing the accuracy of our financial projections. Under these circumstances, we may have difficulty achieving our objectives which may adversely impact performance. Further, such events can be highly disruptive to economies and markets, significantly disrupt the operations of business partners, sectors, industries, markets, securities and commodity exchanges, currencies, interest and inflation rates, credit ratings, investor sentiment and other factors affecting our value.

A widespread crisis may also affect the global economy in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen at the current time. How long such events will last and whether they will continue or recur cannot be predicted. Impacts from these events could have significant impact on our performance, resulting in losses.

Our holding company structure makes us dependent on the operations of our subsidiaries.

We are a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Our material assets are direct and indirect equity interests in our subsidiaries. We are, therefore, dependent on payments, dividends and distributions from our subsidiaries for funds to pay our operations and other expenses and to pay future cash dividends or distributions, if any, to holders of the ordinary shares, and we may have tax costs in connection with any dividend or distribution. Furthermore, exchange rate fluctuation will affect the U.S. dollar value of any distributions our subsidiaries make with respect to our equity interests in those subsidiaries.

Risks Related to Legal, Compliance and Regulations

We will be required to obtain governmental permits and approvals to conduct development and mining operations, a process which is often costly and time-consuming. There is no certainty that all necessary permits and approvals for our planned operations will be granted.

We are required to obtain and renew governmental permits and approvals for our exploration and development activities and, prior to mining any mineralization that we discover, we may be required to obtain additional governmental permits and approvals that we do not currently possess. Obtaining and renewing any of these governmental permits is a complex, time-consuming and uncertain process involving numerous jurisdictions, public hearings and possibly costly undertakings. The timeliness and success of permitting efforts are contingent upon many variables, some of which are not within our control, including the interpretation of approval requirements administered by the applicable governmental authority as well as the time required for, and the outcome of, environmental impact assessment proceedings in Austria.

We may not be able to obtain or renew permits or approvals that are necessary to our planned operations, or we may discover that the cost and time required to obtain or renew such permits and approvals exceeds our expectations. Any unexpected delays, costs or conditions associated with the governmental approval process could delay our planned exploration, development and mining operations, which in turn could materially adversely affect our prospects, revenues and profitability. In addition, our prospects may be adversely affected by the revocation or suspension of permits or by changes in the scope or conditions to use of any permits obtained.

For example, in addition to the permits that we have been issued to date, we are required to obtain other permits and approvals before construction or operations related to, zoning, rezoning, construction mining, mineral concentration and chemical manufacturing.

Private parties, such as environmental activist organizations, frequently attempt to intervene in the permitting process to persuade regulators to deny necessary permits or seek to overturn permits that have been issued. These third-party actions can materially increase the costs and cause delays in the permitting process and could cause us to not proceed with the development or operation of a property. In addition, our ability to successfully obtain key permits and approvals to explore for, develop, operate and expand operations will likely depend on our ability to undertake such activities in a manner consistent with the creation of social and economic benefits in the surrounding communities, which may or may not be required by law. Our ability to obtain permits and approvals and to successfully operate in particular communities may be adversely affected by real or perceived detrimental events associated with our activities.

Our failure to comply with applicable anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering and similar laws and regulations could negatively impact our reputation and results of operations.

The legal and regulatory framework in which we operate is complex, and our governance and compliance policies and processes may not prevent potential breaches of law or accounting or other governance practices. Our operating and ethical codes, among other standards and guidance, may not prevent instances of fraudulent behavior and dishonesty, nor guarantee compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.

We are required to comply with anti-corruption laws and regulations imposed by governments around the world with jurisdiction over our operations, which may include Austria and Australian anti-bribery and corruption legislation, as well as the laws of the other countries (for example, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the UK’s Bribery Act 2010) where we do business or have a close connection. These laws and regulations may restrict our operations, trade practices, investment decisions and partnering activities. These and other applicable laws prohibit us and our officers, directors, employees and business partners acting on our behalf, including agents, from corruptly offering, promising, authorizing or providing anything of value to “foreign officials” for the purposes of influencing official decisions or obtaining or retaining business or otherwise obtaining favorable treatment. We are subject to the jurisdiction of various governments and regulatory agencies around the world, which may bring our personnel and representatives into contact with “foreign officials” responsible for issuing or renewing permits, licenses or approvals or for enforcing other governmental regulations.

Our failure to successfully comply with these laws and regulations may expose us to reputational harm, as well as significant sanctions, including criminal fines, imprisonment, civil penalties, disgorgement of profits, injunctions and debarment from government contracts, as well as other remedial measures. Investigations of alleged violations can be expensive and disruptive. We continuously develop and maintain policies and procedures designed to comply with applicable anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering and similar areas. However, there can be no guarantee that our policies and procedures will effectively prevent violations by our employees or business partners acting on our behalf, for which we may be held responsible, and any such violation could adversely affect our reputation, business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our operations are subject to environmental, health and safety regulations, which could impose additional costs and compliance requirements, and we may face claims and liability for breaches, or alleged breaches, of such regulations and other applicable laws.

Our operations are subject to compliance with various environmental, health and safety laws, regulations, permitting requirements and standards in Austria.

We are subject to environmental laws, regulations and permits in the various jurisdictions in which we operate, including those relating to, among other things, the removal and extraction of natural resources, the emission and discharge of materials into the environment, including plant and wildlife protection, remediation of soil and groundwater contamination, reclamation and closure of properties, including waste storage facilities, groundwater quality and availability, and the handling, storage, transport and disposal of wastes and hazardous materials. Pursuant to such requirements, we may be subject to inspections or reviews by governmental authorities. Failure to comply with these environmental requirements may expose us to litigation, fines or other sanctions, including the revocation of permits and suspension of operations. We expect to continue to incur significant capital and other compliance costs related to such requirements. These laws, regulations and permits, and the enforcement and interpretation thereof, change frequently and generally have become more stringent over time. If our noncompliance with such regulations were to result in a release of hazardous materials into the environment, such as soil or groundwater, we could be required to remediate such contamination, which could be costly. Moreover, noncompliance could subject us to private claims for property damage or personal injury based on exposure to hazardous materials or unsafe working conditions. In addition, changes in applicable requirements or stricter interpretation of existing requirements may result in costly compliance requirements or otherwise subject us to future liabilities. The occurrence of any of the foregoing, as well as any new environmental, health and safety laws and regulations applicable to our business or stricter interpretation or enforcement of existing laws and regulations, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We also could be liable for any environmental contamination at, under or released from our or our predecessors’ currently or formerly owned or operated properties or third-party waste disposal sites. Certain environmental laws impose joint and several strict liability for releases of hazardous substances at such properties

73

Table of Contents

or sites, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct. A generator of waste can be held responsible for contamination resulting from the treatment or disposal of such waste at any off-site location (such as a landfill), regardless of whether the generator arranged for the treatment or disposal of the waste in compliance with applicable laws. Costs associated with liability for removal or remediation of contamination or damage to natural resources could be substantial and liability under these laws may attach without regard to whether the responsible party knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of the contaminants. Accordingly, we may be held responsible for more than our share of the contamination or other damages, up to and including the entire amount of such damages. In addition to potentially significant investigation and remediation costs, such matters can give rise to claims from governmental authorities and other third parties, including for orders, inspections, fines or penalties, natural resource damages, personal injury, property damage, toxic torts and other damages.

Our costs, liabilities and obligations relating to environmental matters could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.

The core health risks associated with our mining operations arise from occupational exposure and community environmental exposure to silica dust, noise and certain hazardous substances, including toxic gases and harmful particulates. The most significant occupational diseases affecting our workforce include lung diseases (such as silicosis, tuberculosis, a combination of the two and chronic obstructive airways disease) as well as noise-induced hearing loss. Past and current employees may be awarded compensation for occupational illnesses (and injuries) in accordance with the legislative regime applicable to the illness contracted.

In the case of occupational diseases such as silicosis, employees retain the right to seek additional compensation from their employer in a civil action under common law (either as individuals or as a class) for the shortfall of their claims, to the extent that such claims are not fully satisfied under the statutory workers compensation regime (which, due to the low thresholds set by statute, is often the case).

Additionally, due to the nature of our operations, our employees and contractors are exposed to varying degrees of risk in the workplace. These risks may include exposure to dangerous situations, machinery or materials and/or health hazards and have the potential to result in disease, personal injury or death. We are responsible for the health, safety and security of our employees, (including third-party personnel) working at sites and persons who are not employed by us but may be directly affected by our operations under our management and, accordingly, must implement adequate health and safety systems and procedures. Health and safety incidents can result in loss of life, losses and liabilities, work stoppages, serious damage to equipment or property or environmental damage. These risk factors can, singularly or in combination, have a material effect on our reputation, results of operations and financial condition. In the event of disease, injury or death arising out of the negligence of an employer or its employees, a risk of criminal and, in certain circumstances, civil litigation exists. In the case of a work-related fatality, an employer may be subjected to criminal charges in a court of law. Furthermore, such incidents can result in violations of various health and safety laws and regulations that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and/or prospects.

The impacts of climate change may adversely affect our operations and/or result in increased costs to comply with changes in regulations.

Climate change is an international and community concern which may directly or indirectly affect our business and current and future activities. The continuing rise in global average temperatures has created varying changes to regional climates across the world and extreme weather events have the potential to delay or hinder our exploration activities at our mineral projects, and to delay or cease operations at any future mine. This may require us to make additional expenditures to mitigate the impact of such events which may materially and adversely increase our costs and/or reduce production at a future mine. Governments at all levels are amending or enacting additional legislation to address climate change by regulating, among other things, carbon emissions and energy efficiency, or where legislation has already been enacted, regulation regarding emission levels and energy efficiency are becoming more stringent. As a significant emitter of greenhouse gas emissions, the mining industry is particularly exposed to such regulations. Compliance with such legislation, including the associated costs, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects and our ability to commence or continue our exploration and future development and mining operations.

74

Table of Contents

Changing climate patterns may also affect the availability of water. If the effects of climate change cause prolonged disruption in the delivery of essential commodities then production efficiency may be reduced, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

In addition, climate change is perceived as a threat to communities and governments globally and stakeholders may demand reductions in emissions or call upon mining companies to better manage their consumption of climate-relevant resources. Negative social and reputational attention toward our operations may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. A number of governments have already introduced or are moving to introduce climate change legislation and treaties at the international, national, state/provincial and local levels. Regulations relating to emission levels (such as carbon taxes) and energy efficiency are becoming more stringent. If the current regulatory trend continues, this may result in increased costs at some or all of our mineral projects.

We face opposition from organizations that oppose mining which may disrupt or delay our mining projects.

There is an increasing level of public concern relating to the effects of mining on the natural landscape, in communities and on the environment. Certain non-governmental organizations, public interest groups and reporting organizations (“NGOs”) that oppose resource development can be vocal critics of the mining industry. In addition, there have been many instances in which local community groups have opposed resource extraction activities, which have resulted in disruption and delays to the relevant operation. NGOs or local community organizations could create direct adverse publicity against and/or disrupt the operations of our properties, regardless of our successful compliance with social and environmental best practices, due to political factors. Any such actions and the resulting media coverage could have an adverse effect on our reputation and financial condition or our relationships with the communities in which we operate, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

The requirements of being a public company in the U.S. may strain our resources and divert management’s attention, and the increases in legal, accounting and compliance expenses that will result from being a public company in the U.S. may be greater than we anticipate.

Requirements associated with being a public company in the United States will require significant resources and management attention. After the completion of this offering, we will become subject to certain reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and the other rules and regulations of the SEC, and the Nasdaq. We will also be subject to various other regulatory requirements, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We expect these rules and regulations to increase our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, we expect that these rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, which could make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors. We cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we will incur as a public company or the timing of such costs. In addition, complying with rules and regulations and the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies will require substantial attention from our senior management, which could divert their attention away from the day-to-day management of our business. These cost increases and the diversion of management’s attention could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We will also need to hire additional personnel to support our financial reporting function and may face challenges in doing so.

Our business could be adversely affected by trade tariffs or other trade barriers.

Our business will be subject to the imposition of tariffs and other trade barriers, which may make it more costly for us to export our minerals to the imposing country. If we experience cost increases as a result of existing or future tariffs, and are unable to pass on such additional costs to our customers, or otherwise mitigate the costs, or if demand for our exported minerals decreases due to the higher cost, our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be materially and adversely affected.

75

Table of Contents

We are exposed to possible litigation risks, including mining permit disputes (including in respect of access and/or validity of tenure), environmental claims, occupational health and safety claims and employee claims. Further, we may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future that may result in litigation. Current or future litigation or administrative proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may become involved in, named as a party to, or be the subject of, various legal proceedings, including regulatory proceedings, tax proceedings and legal actions, relating to personal injuries, property damage, property taxes, land rights, the environment and contract disputes.

The outcome of outstanding, pending or future proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and may be determined adversely to us and as a result, could have a material adverse effect on our assets, liabilities, business, financial condition or results of operations. Even if we prevail in any such legal proceeding, the proceedings could be costly, time-consuming and may divert the attention of management and key personnel from our business operations, which could adversely affect our financial condition.

Operating Risks

The development of mining operations at the Project is dependent on a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. If we commence production at the Project, our operations may be disrupted by a variety of risks and hazards that could have a material adverse effect on our future operating costs, financial condition and ability to develop and operate a mine.

Mining by its nature involves significant risks and hazards, including environmental hazards, as well as industrial and mining accidents. These include, for example, seismic events, fires, cave-ins and blockages, flooding, discharges of gasses and toxic substances, contamination of water, air or soil resources, unusual and unexpected rock formation affecting mineralization or wall rock characteristics, ground or slope failures, rock bursts, wildfires, radioactivity and other accidents or conditions resulting from mining activities, including, among others, blasting and the transport, storage and handling of hazardous materials. In addition, production, in general, is negatively by high rainfall and inclement weather conditions affecting mining in an open pit environment.

We remain at risk of experiencing, environmental and other industrial hazards, as well as industrial and mining accidents. Any such incidents could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Seismic activity is of particular concern in the underground mining environment. Seismic events have intermittently in the past caused death and injury to workers, and can result in safety-related stoppages. Additionally, seismic activity has also caused a loss of mining equipment, damage to and destruction of mineral properties and production facilities, monetary losses, environmental damage and potential legal liabilities.

Furthermore, there is the risk that relevant regulators may impose fines and work stoppages for non-compliant mining operating procedures and activities, which could reduce or halt production until lifted. The occurrence of any of these events could delay or halt production, increase production costs and result in financial and regulatory liability for us, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, the relevant environmental authorities have issued and may issue administrative directives and compliance notices in the future, to enforce the provisions of the relevant statutes to take specific anti-pollution measures, continue with those measures and/or to complete those measures. The authorities may also order the suspension of part, or all of, our operations if there is non-compliance with legislation. Contravention of some of these statutes may also constitute a criminal offense and an offender may be liable for a fine or imprisonment, or both, in addition to administrative penalties.

As a result, the occurrence of any of these events may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The occurrence of significant events against which we may not be fully insured could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Although we have an insurance program, we may become subject to liability for pollution, occupational illness or other hazards against which we have not been insured, cannot insure or are insufficiently insured, including those relating to past mining activities. Our existing property and liability insurance contains specific exclusions

76

Table of Contents

and limitations on coverage. Should we suffer a major loss, which is insufficiently covered, future earnings could be affected. In addition, certain classes of insurance may not continue to be available at economically acceptable premiums. As a result, in the future, our insurance coverage may not fully cover the extent of claims against it or any cross-claims made.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and global measures taken in response thereto have adversely impacted, and may continue to adversely impact, our operations and financial results.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the extent to which it may have a material and adverse effect on our business operations is still uncertain and difficult to predict with any degree of confidence. The pandemic and any preventative or protective measures that governments, other third parties or we took previously or may take in the future in response to the pandemic could result in economic, financial and business disruptions and reduced operations. These measures could continue to include disruptions or restrictions on our ability to travel, temporary closures of the facilities of our suppliers, supply chain disruption, customers or sales channels, negative effects on the health of our management and employees and uncertainty and volatility in the global financial markets. Countries around the world, including those jurisdictions in which we operate, have and may continue to impose quarantines, business shutdowns and travel and other restrictions. Any significant disruption of our business, or that of our suppliers, customers or sales channels could cause significant delays until we, our suppliers, customers or sales channels are able to resume normal business operations, and would likely negatively impact our sales and profitability, including among other things with regard to the timely and successful performance and implementation of transactions that contribute materially to our anticipated revenues. Although we are monitoring the situation, we cannot predict whether, for how long, or the extent to which the pandemic and pandemic containment efforts may disrupt our supply chain and/or operations. The ultimate geographic spread and severity of the disease; the duration of the outbreak or future outbreaks; the effectiveness of vaccinations to prevent the contraction and spread of the virus; the travel restrictions and the implementation of social distancing and ultimately the resulting impact on the global economy and our results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

The ongoing military conflict between Ukraine and Russia, and the related disruptions to the global economy and financial markets, has affected and could continue to adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the United States, the European Union and the United Kingdom, among others, have announced targeted economic sanctions on Russia, certain Russian citizens and enterprises, including financial measures such as freezing Russia’s central bank assets and limiting its ability to access its dollar reserves. The continuation of the conflict may trigger a series of additional economic and other sanctions enacted by the United States and other countries. The potential impact of bans, sanction programs and boycotts on our business is uncertain at the current time due to the fluid nature of the military conflict and international responses to it. In addition, the potential impacts include supply chain and logistics disruptions, financial impacts including volatility in lithium prices, foreign exchange rates and interest rates, inflationary pressures on raw materials and energy, heightened cybersecurity threats and other restrictions. As a company that operates in the global mining industry, we monitor the developments to assess any potential future impacts that may arise as a result of the ongoing crisis. The adverse effects of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and/or economic sanctions and import and/or export controls to be imposed on the Russian government by the United States or others, and the above-mentioned adverse effect on the wider global economy and market conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to Technology

Any unauthorized access to, disclosure, or theft of personal information we gather, store, or use could harm our reputation and subject us to claims or litigation.

We maintain information necessary to conduct our businesses, including confidential and proprietary information as well as personal information regarding our customers and employees, in digital form. We also use computer systems to deliver our products and services and operate our businesses. Data maintained in digital form is subject to the risk of unauthorized access, modification, exfiltration, destruction or denial of access and our computer systems are subject to cyberattacks that may result in disruptions in service. We use many third-party

77

Table of Contents

systems and software, which are also subject to supply chain and other cyberattacks. We develop and maintain information security programs to identify and mitigate cyber risks but the development and maintenance of these programs is costly and requires ongoing monitoring and updating as technology changes and efforts to overcome security measures become more sophisticated. Accordingly, despite our efforts, the risk of unauthorized access, modification, exfiltration, destruction or denial of access with respect to data or systems and other cybersecurity attacks cannot be eliminated entirely, and the risks associated with a potentially material incident remain. In addition, we provide some confidential, proprietary and personal information to third parties in certain cases when it is necessary to pursue business objectives. While we obtain assurances that these third parties will protect this information and, where we believe appropriate, monitor the protections employed by these third parties, there is a risk the confidentiality of data held by third parties may be compromised.

If our information or cyber security systems or data are compromised in a material way, our ability to conduct our businesses may be impaired, we may lose profitable opportunities or the value of those opportunities may be diminished and, as described above, we may lose revenue as a result of unlicensed use of our intellectual property. If personal information of our customers or employees is misappropriated, our reputation with our customers and employees may be damaged, resulting in loss of business or morale, and we may incur costs to remediate possible harm to our customers and employees or damages arising from litigation and/or to pay fines or take other action with respect to judicial or regulatory actions arising out of the incident. Insurance we obtain may not cover losses or damages associated with such attacks or events.

A failure of our information technology and data security infrastructure could adversely affect our business and operations.

We rely on various information technology systems. These systems remain vulnerable to disruption, damage or failure from a variety of sources, including, but not limited to, errors by employees or contractors, computer viruses, cyberattacks, including phishing, ransomware, and similar malware, misappropriation of data by outside parties, and various other threats. Techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to or sabotage our systems are under continuous and rapid evolution, and we may be unable to detect efforts to disrupt our data and systems in advance. Breaches and unauthorized access carry the potential to cause losses of assets or production, operational delays, equipment failure that could cause other risks to be realized, inaccurate recordkeeping, or disclosure of confidential information, any of which could result in financial losses and regulatory or legal exposure, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. We may incur material losses relating to cyberattacks or other information security breaches in the future. Our risk and exposure to these matters cannot be fully mitigated because of, among other things, the evolving nature of these threats. As such threats continue to evolve, we may be required to expend additional resources to modify or enhance any protective measures or to investigate and remediate any security vulnerabilities.

Risks Related to the Company’s Projections

Actual capital costs, operating costs, production and economic returns may differ significantly from those we have anticipated and future development activities may not result in profitable mining operations.

The actual operating costs at any mineral project that we are able to develop into an operating mine will depend upon changes in the availability and prices of labor, equipment and infrastructure, variances in mineralization recovery and mining rates from those assumed in any mining plan that may be generated, operational risks, changes in governmental regulation, including taxation, environmental, permitting and other regulations and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Due to any of these or other factors, the operating costs at any such future mine may be significantly higher than those set forth in the Technical Report Summary and will use as a basis for construction of a mine. As a result of higher capital and operating costs, production and economic returns may differ significantly from those set forth in such report and any future development activities may not result in profitable mining operations.

78

Table of Contents

Mining projects such as ours have no operating history on which to base estimates of future operating costs and capital requirements. Any projections we make are based upon estimates and assumptions made at the time they were prepared. If these estimates or assumptions prove to be incorrect or inaccurate, our actual operating results may differ materially from our forecasted results.

Our development and exploration projects have no operating history on which to base estimates of future commercial viability. Estimates of mineral resources and mineral reserves are largely based on the interpretation of geological data obtained from drill holes and other sampling techniques and feasibility studies. This information is used to calculate estimates of the capital cost and operating costs based on anticipated tonnage and grades of mineralization to be mined and processed, the configuration of the mineral resource, expected recovery rates, comparable facility and equipment operating costs, anticipated climatic conditions and other factors. As a result, the actual capital cost, operating costs and economic returns of any proposed mine may differ from those estimated, and such differences could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. There can be no assurance that we will be able to complete the development of our mineral projects, or any of them, at all or on time or to budget due to, among other things, and in addition to those factors described above, changes in the economics of the mineral projects, delays in receiving required consents, permits and licenses (including mining licenses), the delivery and installation of plant and equipment and cost overruns, or that the current personnel, systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support our operations. Should any of these events occur, it would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

Our resource estimates may change significantly when new information or techniques become available. In addition, by their very nature, resource estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to be inaccurate. As further information becomes available through additional fieldwork and analysis, our estimates are likely to change and these changes may result in a reduction in our resources. These changes may also result in alterations to our development and mining plans, which may, in turn, adversely affect our operations.

Estimated mineral resources (and mineral reserves) may have to be recalculated based on changes in commodity prices, further exploration or development activity, loss or change in permits or actual production experience. Such changes could materially and adversely affect estimates of the volume or grade of mineralization, estimated recovery rates or other important factors that influence mineral resource estimates. The extent to which our mineral resources may ultimately be reclassified as mineral reserves depends on the demonstration of their profitable recovery and economic mineability. You should not assume that any part of an inferred mineral resource will be upgraded to a higher category or that any of the mineral resources will be reclassified as mineral reserves.

Material changes in mineral resources, if any, grades, stripping ratios or recovery rates may affect the economic viability of any project. Our future growth and productivity will depend, in part, on our ability to develop and maintain commercially mineable mineral rights at our existing properties or identify and acquire other commercially mineable mineral rights, and on the costs and results of continued exploration and potential development programs.

Risk Related to Australia

European Lithium will remain listed on the Australian Securities Exchange, which could divert our management’s time and resources away from our development efforts. We may face claims and liability for breaches, or alleged breaches, of Australian regulations and other applicable laws.

European Lithium will remain listed, and will be required to comply with Australian corporate law and the listing rules of the Australian Securities Exchange (the “ASX”). We have policies and procedures that we believe are designed to provide reasonable assurance that our actions will not infringe on either Australian corporate law or the ASX listing rules. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by Australian regulatory and governing bodies. We intend to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management’s time and attention

from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If, notwithstanding our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations and standards, we fail to comply, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us and our business may be harmed.

Risks Relating to Sizzle, Pubco and the Business Combination

If Sizzle does not consummate a Business Combination by the termination date of February 8, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation), Sizzle will have to cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and redeem all of its public shares for their pro rata portions of the Trust Account and liquidate, or seek approval of its stockholders to extend the termination date.

If Sizzle is unable to complete a Business Combination by February 8, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation), Sizzle will have to (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten (10) business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including any interest not previously released to us but net of franchise and income taxes payable, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, the only significant asset of Pubco will be its direct equity interest in the Company and Sizzle, and it will, accordingly, be dependent upon distributions from the Company or Sizzle to pay taxes and cover its corporate and other overhead expenses and pay dividends, if any, on its ordinary shares. Pubco does not currently intend to pay dividends on its ordinary shares and, consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of Pubco Ordinary Shares.

Pubco is a holding company and, subsequent to the completion of the Business Combination, will have no material assets other than its direct equity interest in the Company and Sizzle. Pubco will have no independent means of generating revenue. Promptly after the consummation of the Business Combination, Sizzle is required distribute any remaining funds in the Trust Account to Pubco, who is then required to contribute such funds along with any other cash held by Pubco (net of necessary reserves) to the Company. Pubco will depend on the Company for distributions, loans and other payments to generate the funds necessary to meet its financial obligations, including its expenses as a publicly traded company, and to pay any dividends with respect to its stock. Legal and contractual restrictions may limit Pubco’s ability to obtain cash from the Company. Thus, Pubco does not expect to pay cash dividends on its shares. Any future dividend payments are within the absolute discretion of the board of directors of Pubco and will depend on, among other things, Pubco’s results of operations, working capital requirements, capital expenditure requirements, financial condition, level of indebtedness, contractual restrictions with respect to payment of dividends, business opportunities, anticipated cash needs, provisions of applicable law and other factors that its board of directors may deem relevant.

As a “foreign private issuer” under the rules and regulations of the SEC, Pubco is permitted to, and may, file less or different information with the SEC than a company incorporated in the United States or otherwise not filing as a “foreign private issuer,” and will follow certain home country corporate governance practices in lieu of certain Nasdaq requirements applicable to U.S. issuers.

After the consummation of the Business Combination, we will be a “foreign private issuer” under the Exchange Act and are therefore exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act, including the proxy rules, which impose certain disclosure and procedural requirements for proxy solicitations for U.S. and other issuers. Moreover, we will not be required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or within the same timeframes as U.S. companies with securities registered under the Exchange Act. We currently prepare our

80

Table of Contents

financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and we are not required to reconcile our financial statements to U.S. GAAP. We are not required to comply with Regulation Fair Disclosure, which imposes restrictions on the selective disclosure of material information to shareholders. In addition, our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules under the Exchange Act with respect to their purchases and sales of our securities. Accordingly, after the Business Combination, our shareholders may receive less or different information about us than they currently receive about Sizzle or the Company, as applicable, or that they would receive about a U.S. domestic public company.

In addition, as a “foreign private issuer” whose shares are intended to be listed on Nasdaq, we are permitted, subject to certain exceptions, to follow certain home country rules in lieu of certain Nasdaq listing requirements. A foreign private issuer must disclose in its annual reports filed with the SEC each Nasdaq requirement with which it does not comply, followed by a description of its applicable home country practice. We have the option to rely on available exemptions under the Listing Rules that would allow it to follow its home country practice, including, among other things, the ability to opt out of (i) the requirement that the Board be comprised of a majority independent directors, (ii) the requirement that our independent directors meet regularly in executive sessions and (iii) the requirement that we obtain shareholder approval prior to the issuance of securities in connection with certain acquisitions, private placements of securities, or the establishment or amendment of certain stock option, purchase or other compensation plans. We expect that the Board will be comprised of a majority independent directors, but have not yet made final determinations on other possible exemptions from the Listing Rules. See “Description of Securities — Certain Disclosure Obligations of Pubco” and “Management of Pubco After the Business Combination” for additional information.

Pubco may lose its foreign private issuer status which would then require it to comply with the domestic reporting regime of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and cause us to incur significant additional legal, accounting and other expenses.

As discussed above, Pubco will be a foreign private issuer and therefore will not be required to comply with all of the periodic disclosure and current reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and may take advantage of certain exemptions to Nasdaq’s corporate governance rules. The determination of foreign private issuer status is made annually on the last business day of an issuer’s most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and, accordingly, the next determination will be made with respect to Pubco on June 30, 2023. In the future, Pubco would lose its foreign private issuer status if (1) more than 50% of its outstanding voting securities are owned by U.S. residents and (2) a majority of its directors or executive officers are U.S. citizens or residents, or it fails to meet additional requirements necessary to avoid loss of foreign private issuer status. If Pubco loses its foreign private issuer status, it will be required to file with the SEC periodic reports and registration statements on U.S. domestic issuer forms, which are more detailed and extensive than the forms available to a foreign private issuer. Pubco would also have to mandatorily comply with U.S. federal proxy requirements, and its officers, directors and principal shareholders will become subject to the short-swing profit disclosure and recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, it would lose its ability to rely upon exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements under the listing rules of Nasdaq. As a U.S. listed public company that is not a foreign private issuer, Pubco would incur significant additional legal, accounting and other expenses that it will not incur as a foreign private issuer.

Following the closing of the business combination, we expect Pubco to be a “controlled company” within the meaning of Nasdaq rules and, as a result, qualify for exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements.

Upon completion of the business combination, EUR will control a majority of the voting power of Pubco’s outstanding shares. As a result of its voting control, EUR will effectively be able to determine the outcome of all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election and removal of directors (subject to the contractual designation rights set forth in the Investors Agreement). As a result of being able to appoint and remove directors, EUR will indirectly effectively control mergers and acquisitions, payment of dividends, and other matters of corporate or management policy. Under Nasdaq rules, a listed company of which more than 50.0% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by any person or group of persons acting together is a “controlled

81

Table of Contents

company” and may elect not to comply with certain Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, including the requirement (i) that a majority of the Pubco Board consist of independent directors, as defined under the Nasdaq rules, (ii) to have a nominating and governance committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities, (iii) to have director nominees selected, or recommended for the Pubco Board’s selection, either by a majority of the independent directors or a nominating committee comprised solely of independent directors, and (iv) to have a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities. Pubco plans to elect to be treated as a “controlled company” following the business combination. Accordingly, following the Business Combination, you may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.

EUR may have its interest in Pubco diluted due to future equity issuances or its own actions in selling Pubco Ordinary Shares, in each case, which could result in a loss of the “controlled company” exemption under Nasdaq listing rules. We would then be required to comply with those provisions of Nasdaq listing requirements.

Our success following the Business Combination depends on the business operations of the Company, which exposes investors to a concentration of risk in the limited sectors in which the Company’s business is focused.

Although the Business Combination is intended to accelerate the Company’s growth, expansion and transition, the Business Combination does not result in immediate diversification of the Company’s business and, as such, the combined enterprise will be dependent upon the continued development and market acceptance of a limited number of products and services. As a result, investors will be subject to the economic, competitive and regulatory risks attendant to the relatively narrow industry in which the Company operates, any or all of which could have a substantial adverse impact on the Company.

We and Sizzle will incur significant transaction and transition costs in connection with the Business Combination. If Sizzle fails to consummate the Business Combination, it may not have sufficient cash available to pay such costs.

Sizzle expects to incur significant, non-recurring costs in connection with consummating the Business Combination. Some of these costs are payable regardless of whether the Business Combination is completed. Sizzle’s transaction expenses as a result of the Business Combination are currently estimated at approximately $34,150,000 million, which is comprised of (i) $8,150,000 in deferred underwriting compensation payable to the underwriters of its IPO and (ii) approximately $26.0 million relating to fees associated with legal, audit, printing and mailing this proxy statement/prospectus, investor relations, insurance, and other operating costs related to the Business Combination. The Company estimates its Business Combination costs to be approximately $4.1 million which is comprised of legal, accounting, financial consulting and investor relations matters. If Sizzle and the Company do not consummate the Business Combination, each party will be required to pay its own fees and expenses, and Sizzle likely will not have sufficient cash available to pay its fees and expenses unless and until it completes a subsequent Business Combination transaction.

The working capital available to Pubco after the Business Combination will be reduced to the extent Sizzle’s stockholders exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination and will also be reduced to the extent of the Company’s and Sizzle’s transaction expenses, which will be payable by the Combined Company. This may adversely affect the business and future operations of Pubco.

The amount of working capital available to the Combined Company after the Business Combination will depend in part on the extent to which Sizzle stockholders exercise their right to redeem their shares into cash in connection with the Business Combination. Pubco’s working capital will be reduced in proportion to such redemptions, and will also be reduced to the extent of Sizzle’s and the Company’s transaction expenses, which will be payable by the Combined Company. Reduced working capital may adversely affect Pubco’s business and future operations.

If the funds held outside of our Trust Account are insufficient to allow us to operate until at least February 8, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation), our ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected.

We believe the funds available to us outside of the Trust Account will be sufficient to allow us to operate until we complete our Business Combination; however, we cannot assure you that our estimate is accurate. If we are required to seek additional capital, we would need to borrow funds from our Sponsor, management team or other third parties to operate or may be forced to liquidate. Neither our Sponsor, members of our management team nor any of their affiliates is under any obligation to advance funds to us in such circumstances. Any such advances would 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 shares of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per share at the option of the lender. The shares would be identical to the private placement shares. As of September 30, 2022, there were no outstanding working capital loans. Prior to the completion of our initial Business Combination, we do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor 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 are unable to complete our initial Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account.

Our independent registered public accounting firm’s report contains an explanatory paragraph that expresses substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, since we will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating if we are unable to complete an initial Business Combination by February 8, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation).

As of September 30, 2022, Sizzle had $538,622 of cash in its operating bank account and a working capital of $37,197. Sizzle has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. We may need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. Further, if our estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial 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 initial Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of our initial Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. In addition, we intend to target businesses larger than we could acquire with the net proceeds of our initial public offering and the sale of the placement shares, and may as a result be required to seek additional financing to complete such proposed initial Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our initial Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our initial Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our initial Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations. There are no assurances that Sizzle will complete the proposed Business Combination before February 8, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation). The date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about Sizzle’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Resources could be wasted in researching acquisitions that are not completed (including the proposed Business Combination), which could materially adversely affect subsequent attempts to locate and acquire or merge with another business. If we have not completed our initial Business Combination within the required time period, our public stockholders may receive only approximately $10.20 per share, or less than such amount in certain circumstances, on the liquidation of our Trust Account and our warrants will expire worthless.

We anticipate that the investigation of each specific target business and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents and other instruments will require substantial management time and attention and substantial costs for accountants, attorneys and others. If we decide not to complete a specific initial

83

Table of Contents

Business Combination, such as the proposed Business Combination, the costs incurred up to that point for the proposed transaction likely would not be recoverable. Furthermore, if we reach an agreement relating to a specific target business, such as the Company, we may fail to complete our initial Business Combination for any number of reasons including those beyond our control. Any such event will result in a loss to us of the related costs incurred which could materially adversely affect subsequent attempts to locate and acquire or merge with another business. If we are unable to complete our initial Business Combination, our public stockholders may receive only approximately $10.20 per share on the liquidation of our Trust Account and our warrants will expire worthless.

Our warrants are accounted for as liabilities and the changes in value of our warrants could have a material effect on our financial results and/or the market price of our common stock, which may make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial Business Combination with a target business.

On April 12, 2021, the staff of the SEC (the “SEC Staff”) issued a public statement entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”) (the “SEC Staff Statement”). In the SEC Staff Statement, the SEC Staff expressed its view that certain terms and conditions common to SPAC warrants may require the warrants to be classified as liabilities on the SPAC’s balance sheet as opposed to equity. As a result of the SEC Staff Statement, we reevaluated the accounting treatment of our warrants and determined to classify the warrants as derivative liabilities measured at fair value, with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings.

As a result, included on our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 contained elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus are derivative liabilities related to embedded features contained within our warrants. ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, provides for the remeasurement of the fair value of such derivatives at each balance sheet date, with a resulting non-cash gain or loss related to the change in the fair value being recognized in earnings in the statement of operations. As a result of the recurring fair value measurement, our financial statements and results of operations may fluctuate quarterly, based on factors, which are outside of our control. Due to the recurring fair value measurement, we expect that we will recognize non-cash gains or losses on our warrants each reporting period and that the amount of such gains or losses could be material. The impact of changes in fair value on earning may have a material adverse effect on the market price of our securities.

Our ability to consummate an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, including as a result of the military conflict in Ukraine.

In late February 2022, Russian military forces invaded Ukraine. Russia’s invasion, the responses of countries and political bodies to Russia’s actions, and the potential for wider conflict may increase financial market volatility and could have adverse effects on regional and global economic markets, including the markets for certain securities and commodities. Following Russia’s actions, various countries, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, and France, as well as the European Union, issued broad-ranging economic sanctions against Russia. The sanctions consist of the prohibition of trading in certain Russian securities and engaging in certain private transactions, the prohibition of doing business with certain Russian corporate entities, large financial institutions, officials and persons, and the freezing of Russian assets. The sanctions include a possible commitment by certain countries and the European Union to remove selected Russian banks from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications, commonly called “SWIFT”, the electronic network that connects banks globally, and imposed restrictive measures to prevent the Russian Central Bank from undermining the impact of the sanctions. A number of large corporations and U.S. states have also announced plans to curtail business dealings with certain Russian businesses.

The imposition of the current sanctions (and potential imposition of further sanctions in response to continued Russian military activity) and other actions undertaken by countries and businesses may adversely impact various sectors of the Russian economy, and the military action has severe impacts on the Ukrainian economy, including its exports and food production. The duration of ongoing hostilities and corresponding sanctions and related events cannot be predicted and may result in a negative impact on the markets and thereby may negatively impact our ability to consummate a Business Combination.

The unaudited pro forma financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus may not be indicative of what the actual financial position or results of operations of the Combined Entity would have been.

The unaudited pro forma financial information in this proxy statement/prospectus is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the actual financial position or results of operations of the Combined Entity would have been had the Business Combination been completed on the dates indicated. See the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” for more information.

Sizzle may waive one or more of the conditions to the Business Combination.

Sizzle may agree to waive, in whole or in part, some of the conditions to its obligations to complete the Business Combination, to the extent permitted by its existing charter and applicable laws. For example, it is a condition to Sizzle’s obligations to close the Business Combination that the representations and warranties of the Company Holders are true and correct in all respects as of the date of the Merger Agreement and as of the date of the Closing (or an earlier date to the extent that an earlier date is referenced in the representation and warranty), except, for certain of the representations and warranties, for such inaccuracies that, individually or in the aggregate, would not result in a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement) on the Company. Under applicable law and Sizzle’s existing charter, Sizzle is not able to waive the condition that its stockholders approve the Business Combination.

The Merger Agreement includes a Minimum Cash Condition as a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination, which may make it more difficult for Sizzle to complete the Business Combination as contemplated.

The Merger Agreement provides that the parties’ obligation to consummate the Business Combination is conditioned on, among other things, a minimum cash condition that the funds that are in the Trust Account, together with the cash on Sizzle’s balance and the aggregate amount of gross proceeds from any subscription or investment agreement with respect to securities of Pubco entered into prior to Closing, equal $40 million, before payment of transaction expenses. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the parties to the Business Combination Agreement intend to obtain additional financing described in this condition with respect to Pubco, but there are currently no commitments for such additional financing.

The Merger Agreement also provides that the Company has a right to terminate the Merger Agreement if the Minimum Cash Condition is not anticipated to be met, as reasonably determined by the Company following the conclusion of an extension meeting to extend the time period for Sizzle to consummate a business combination.

Sizzle intends to seek to arrange for additional financing, the proceeds of which would be used to satisfy the Minimum Cash Condition required to consummate the Business Combination. Such additional financing may not be available to Sizzle. Even if such financing is available, the ability of Sizzle to obtain such financing is subject to restrictions set forth in the Merger Agreement and other related agreements.

The Minimum Cash Condition and the termination right are for the sole benefit of EUR and can be waived only by EUR. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Sizzle has not met the Minimum Cash Condition. There can be no assurance that EUR could and would waive such terms, or that EUR will not exercise its termination right if it becomes exercisable.

If such terms are waived and the Business Combination is consummated, the cash held by Pubco and its subsidiaries in the aggregate, after the Closing, may not be sufficient to allow them to operate and pay their expenses and liabilities as they become due. Furthermore, Pubco’s affiliates are not obligated to make loans to it or invest in it in the future after the Business Combination. The additional exercise of redemption rights with respect to a large number of Sizzle’s public stockholders may make Pubco unable to take such actions as may be desirable in order to optimize its capital structure after the Closing and it may not be able to raise additional financing from unaffiliated parties necessary to fund its expenses and liabilities after the Closing. Any such event in the future may negatively impact the analysis regarding Pubco’s ability to continue as a going concern at such time.

If these terms are not met, and are not or cannot be waived under the terms of the Merger Agreement, then the Merger Agreement could terminate, and the proposed Business Combination may not be consummated.

The Sponsor, and Sizzle’s directors and officers, have conflicts of interest in determining to pursue the Business Combination with the Company, since certain of their interests, and certain interests of their affiliates and associates, are different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) the interests of Sizzle’s stockholders.

The Sponsor, and officers and directors of Sizzle, have interests in and arising from the Business Combination that are different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) the interests of Sizzle’s public stockholders, which may result in a conflict of interest. These interests include:

•        If the Business Combination with the Company or another business combination is not consummated by February 8, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation), Sizzle will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the founders shares held by the Sponsor and certain directors and officers, which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to the Sizzle IPO, would be worthless because the holders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. Such shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $55.8 million based upon the closing price of $10.28 per share on Nasdaq on December 5, 2022 (and assuming no reduction in value based on them being restricted securities, or re-valuation of the securities in connection with the Business Combination). On the other hand, if the Business Combination is consummated, each outstanding share of Sizzle Common Stock will be converted into one Pubco Ordinary Share.

•        If the Business Combination with the Company or another business combination is not consummated by February 8, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation), Sizzle will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the 722,750 private placement shares held by the Sponsor would be worthless because the holders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares Such private placement shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $7.4 million based upon the closing price of $10.28 per share of Sizzle Common Stock on Nasdaq on December 5, 2022 (and assuming no reduction in value based on them being restricted securities, or re-valuation of the securities in connection with the Business Combination)

•        If Sizzle is unable to complete a business combination within the required time period under the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation, the Sponsor will be liable under certain circumstances described herein to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of potential target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by Sizzle for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to Sizzle. If Sizzle consummates a business combination, on the other hand, Sizzle and ultimately the combined company will be liable for all such claims.

•        The Sponsor, as well as Sizzle’s officers and directors, and their affiliates, are entitled to reimbursement of certain out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with identifying, investigating, negotiating and completing a business combination. However, if Sizzle fails to consummate a business combination by February 8, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation), they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. Accordingly, Sizzle may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the Business Combination or another business combination is not consummated within such period (none of such expenses were incurred that had not been reimbursed as of September 30, 2022);

•        Based on the difference in the purchase price of $0.004 that the Sponsor paid for each of the founders shares, as compared to the purchase price of $10.00 per unit sold in the IPO, the Sponsor may earn a positive rate of return even if the share price of the combined company after the Closing falls below the price initially paid for the units in the IPO and the public shareholders experience a negative rate of return following the Closing of the Business Combination.

•        The Merger Agreement provides for the continued indemnification of Sizzle’s current directors and officers and the continuation of directors and officers liability insurance covering Sizzle’s current directors and officers.

•        The Sponsor, officers and directors (or their affiliates) may make loans from time to time to Sizzle to fund certain capital requirements. The Sponsor agreed to loan Sizzle an aggregate of up to $150,000, of which approximately $153,127 was outstanding as of September 30, 2022 (as the note is currently without fixed terms). The Sponsor, its affiliates and Sizzle’s officers and directors have the Promissory Note outstanding to Sizzle. Additional loans may be made after the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the loans will not be repaid and will be forgiven except to the extent there are funds available to Sizzle outside of the Trust Account.

•        Carolyn Trabuco will be the Sizzle designee to the Pubco Board upon the effectiveness of the Business Combination. As a director, in the future, Ms. Trabuco may receive any cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the Pubco Board determines to pay to its directors.

In addition to the interests of Sizzle’s directors and officers in the Business Combination, Sizzle stockholders should be aware that the certain other persons may have financial interests that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Sizzle stockholders, including:

•        Cantor, Sizzle’s underwriter in the IPO, will be entitled to receive a deferred underwriting commission and a placement agency fee upon completion of the Business Combination;

•        Cantor purchased 47,250 representative shares from Sizzle for $10.00 per share. This purchase took place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of the Sizzle IPO and the subsequent partial exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option. Such representative shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $485,730 based upon the closing price of $10.28 per share on Nasdaq on December 5, 2022. The representative shares will become worthless if Sizzle does not consummate a business combination by February 8, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation). On the other hand, if the Business Combination is consummated, each outstanding representative share will be exchanged for one share of Pubco; and

•        EBC owns an aggregate of 75,600 EBC shares. Such EBC shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $777,168 based upon the closing price of $10.28 per share on Nasdaq on December 5, 2022. The EBC shares will become worthless if Sizzle does not consummate a business combination by February 8, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation). On the other hand, if the Business Combination is consummated, each outstanding EBC share will be exchanged for one share of Pubco.

These interests may influence Sizzle’s directors in making their recommendation that you vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal, and the transactions contemplated thereby.

Since the Sponsor and Sizzle’s affiliates will lose their entire investment of privately placed shares (consisting of founder shares and placement shares) in Sizzle if the Business Combination is not completed, they may have had a conflict of interest in identifying and selecting the Company for Sizzle’s initial Business Combination in order to close the Business Combination.

The Sizzle Initial Stockholders, including our Sponsor, and their permitted transferees, currently own an aggregate of 5,425,000 founder shares, for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. In addition, our Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 722,750 placement shares for $7,227,500 in a Private Placement that occurred simultaneously with the consummation of our IPO and upon exercise of the underwriter’s over- allotment option. All of such founder shares and placement units will be worthless if an initial Business Combination is not consummated. The personal and financial interests of our Sponsor, and its affiliates, may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting the Company for its target Business Combination and consummating the Business Combination in order to close the Business Combination.

There are risks to our stockholders who are not affiliates of the Sponsor of becoming stockholders of the Combined Company through the Business Combination rather than acquiring securities of the Company or Pubco directly in an underwritten public offering, including no independent due diligence review by an underwriter and conflicts of interest of the Sponsor.

Because there is no independent third-party underwriter involved in the Business Combination or the issuance of common stock and warrants in connection therewith, investors will not receive the benefit of an outside independent review of Pubco’s, Sizzle’s and the Company’s respective finances and operations performed in an initial public securities offering. Underwritten public offerings of securities conducted by a licensed broker-dealer are subjected to a due diligence review by the underwriter or dealer manager to satisfy statutory duties under the Securities Act, the rules of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA) and the national securities exchange where such securities are listed. Additionally, underwriters or dealer-managers conducting such public offerings are subject to liability for material misstatements or omissions in a registration statement filed with the SEC in connection with the public offering. As no such review has been or will be conducted in connection with the Business Combination, our stockholders must rely on the information in this proxy statement/prospectus and will not have the benefit of an independent review and investigation of the type normally performed by an underwriter in a public securities offering.

In addition, the Sponsor and Sizzle’s executive officers and directors have interests in the Business Combination that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of our stockholders generally. Such interests may have influenced Sizzle’s directors in making their recommendation that you vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus. See “— The Sponsor, and Sizzle’s directors and officers, have conflicts of interest in determining to pursue the Business Combination with the Company, since certain of their interests, and certain interests of their affiliates and associates, are different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) the interests of Sizzle’s stockholders.”

The process of taking a company public by means of a Business Combination with a special purpose acquisition company (a “SPAC”) is different from taking a company public through an underwritten public offering and may create risks for unaffiliated investors.

An underwritten offering involves a company engaging underwriters to purchase its shares and resell them to the public. An underwritten offering imposes statutory liability on the underwriters for material misstatements or omissions contained in the registration statement unless they are able to sustain the burden of providing that they did not know and could not reasonably have discovered such material misstatements or omissions. This is referred to as a “due diligence” defense and results in the underwriters undertaking a detailed review of the company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Going public via a Business Combination with a SPAC does not involve any underwriters and does not generally necessitate the level of review required to establish a “due diligence” defense as would be customary in an underwritten offering.

In addition, going public via a Business Combination with a SPAC does not involve a book-building process as is the case in an underwritten public offering. In any underwritten public offering, the initial value of a company is set by investors who indicate the price at which they are prepared to purchase shares from the underwriters. In the case of a SPAC transaction, the value of the company is established by means of negotiations between the target company, the SPAC and, in some cases, other investors who agree to purchase shares at the time of the Business Combination. The process of establishing the value of a company in a SPAC Business Combination may be less effective than the book-building process in an underwritten public offering and also does not reflect events that may have occurred between the date of the Merger Agreement and the closing of the transaction. In addition, underwritten public offerings are frequently oversubscribed resulting in additional potential demand for shares in the aftermarket following the underwritten public offering. There is no such book of demand built up in connection with a SPAC transaction and no underwriters with the responsibility of stabilizing the share price which may result in the share price being harder to sustain after the transaction.

Sizzle cannot assure you that its due diligence review of the Company has identified all material issues or risks associated with the Company, its business, or the industry in which it operates. If Sizzle’s due diligence investigation of the Company’s business was inadequate, then shareholders of Sizzle following the Business Combination could lose some or all of their investment.

Even though Sizzle conducted a due diligence investigation of the Company that it believed to be reasonable, it cannot be certain that this due diligence uncovered all material issues that may be present inside the Company or its business, or that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence, or that factors outside of the Company and its business and outside of its control will not later arise. Additional information may later arise in connection with the preparation of the registration statement and proxy materials or after completion of the Business Combination. Accordingly, any Sizzle stockholders who choose to remain shareholders of Pubco following the consummation Business Combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares.

Certain of our officers and directors are now, and all of them may in the future become, affiliated with entities engaged in business activities similar to those conducted by us and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time and determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.

Until we consummate our initial Business Combination, we intend to engage in the business of identifying and combining with one or more businesses. The Sponsor and our officers and directors are, and may in the future become, affiliated with entities (such as operating companies or investment vehicles) that are engaged in a similar business, including other special purpose acquisition companies with a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act.

Our officers and directors also may become aware of business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us and the other entities to which they owe certain fiduciary or contractual duties. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we renounce our interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as our director or officer and such opportunity is one we are legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for us to pursue, and to the extent the director or officer is permitted to refer that opportunity to us without violating any legal obligation.

In the absence of the “corporate opportunity” waiver in our charter, certain candidates would not be able to serve as an officer or director. We believe we substantially benefit from having representatives who bring significant, relevant and valuable experience to our management, and, as a result, the inclusion of the “corporate opportunity” waiver in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides us with greater flexibility to attract and retain the officers and directors that we feel are the best candidates.

However, the personal and financial interests of our directors and officers may influence their motivation in timely identifying and selecting a target business and completing a Business Combination. The different timelines of competing Business Combinations could cause our directors and officers to prioritize a different Business Combination over finding a suitable acquisition target for our Business Combination. Consequently, our directors’ and officers’ discretion in identifying and selecting a suitable target business may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether the terms, conditions and timing of a particular Business Combination are appropriate and in our stockholders’ best interest, which could negatively impact the timing for a Business Combination. We are not aware of any such conflicts of interest and do not believe that any such conflicts of interest impacted our search for an acquisition target.

Deferred underwriting fees in connection with the IPO and payable at the consummation of our initial Business Combination will not be adjusted to account for redemptions by our public stockholders; if our public stockholders exercise their redemption rights, the amount of effective total underwriting commissions as a percentage of the aggregate proceeds from the IPO will increase.

The underwriters in our IPO are entitled to deferred underwriting commissions totaling $8,150,000 upon the consummation of our initial Business Combination, such amounts being held in our Trust Account until the consummation of our initial Business Combination. The deferred underwriting commissions will not be adjusted to account for redemptions of public shares by our public stockholders. Accordingly, the amount of effective total underwriting commissions as a percentage of the aggregate proceeds from the IPO will increase as the number

89

Table of Contents

of public shares redeemed increases. Assuming no exercise of Sizzle Warrants, in a no redemption scenario, the effective deferred underwriting fee would be approximately $0.0953 per public share on a pro forma basis (or 5.1% of the value of shares assuming a trading price of $10.20 per public share). In a medium redemption scenario in which 50% of the shares assumed to be redeemed under the maximum redemption scenario are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, the effective deferred underwriting fee would be approximately $0.0874 per public share on a pro forma basis (or 10.2% of the value of shares assuming a trading price of $10.20 per share). In the maximum redemption scenario, the effective deferred underwriting fee would be approximately $0.1036 per public share on a pro forma basis (or 174.1% of the value of shares assuming a trading price of $10.20 per share).

Since the Sponsor, and Sizzle’s executive officers and directors will not be eligible to be reimbursed for their out-of-pocket expenses if the Business Combination is not completed, a conflict of interest may arise in determining whether the Company is appropriate for Sizzle’s initial Business Combination in order to close the Business Combination.

At the Closing of the Business Combination, our Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable Business Combinations. There is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf. Unless Sizzle consummates an initial Business Combination, Sizzle’s officers, directors and the Sponsor will not receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them to the extent that such expenses exceed the amount of available proceeds not deposited in the Trust Account (none of such expenses were incurred that had not been reimbursed as of September 30, 2022). These financial interests of the Sponsor, executive officers and directors of Sizzle may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting European Lithium for the Business Combination in order to close the Business Combination.

Sizzle’s ability to successfully effect the Business Combination and Pubco’s ability to successfully operate the business thereafter will be largely dependent upon the efforts of certain key personnel, including the key personnel of the Company, most of whom are expected to stay with Pubco following the Business Combination. The loss of such key personnel could negatively impact the operations and profitability of the post-combination business.

Sizzle’s ability to successfully effect the Business Combination and Pubco’s ability to successfully operate the business is dependent upon the efforts of certain key personnel of the Company, particularly Tony Sage. Although most of such key personnel are expected to remain with Pubco following the Business Combination, it is possible that Pubco will lose some key personnel, the loss of which could negatively impact the operations and profitability of the post-combination business. For example, Pubco intends to appoint Melissa Chapman, who is currently acting in a financial and accounting consulting capacity to Pubco, as its interim chief financial officer upon the consummation of the Business Combination; however, it is anticipated that the Pubco Board will seek to appoint a new chief financial officer with experience in operating a U.S. public company as soon as practicable following the consummation of the Business Combination. Furthermore, while Sizzle has scrutinized individuals it intends to engage to stay with Pubco following the Business Combination, its assessment of these individuals may not prove to be correct. These individuals may be unfamiliar with the requirements of operating a company regulated by the SEC, which could cause Pubco to have to expend time and resources helping them become familiar with such requirements.

If the Business Combination’s benefits do not meet the expectations of investors, stockholders or financial analysts, the market price of Sizzle’s or Pubco’s securities may decline.

If the benefits of the Business Combination do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of Sizzle’s securities prior to the Closing of the Business Combination may decline. The market values of Sizzle’s securities at the time of the Business Combination may vary significantly from their prices on the date the Merger Agreement was executed, the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, or the date on which our stockholders vote on the Business Combination.

In addition, following the Business Combination, fluctuations in the price of the securities of Pubco could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment. Prior to the Business Combination, there has not been a public market for the Company’s equity interests or Pubco’s stock and trading in the shares of Sizzle Common

90

Table of Contents

Stock has not been active. Accordingly, the valuation ascribed to the Company and our common stock in the Business Combination may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market following the Business Combination. If, following the Business Combination, an active market for Pubco’s securities develops and continues, the trading price of these securities could be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond Pubco’s control. Any of the factors listed below could have a material adverse effect on your investment in our securities and Pubco’s securities may trade at prices significantly below the price you paid for them. In such circumstances, the trading price of Pubco’s securities may not recover and may experience a further decline.

Factors affecting the trading price of Pubco’s securities following the Business Combination may include:

•        actual or anticipated fluctuations in the quarterly financial results of Pubco or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to Pubco;

•        changes in the market’s expectations about Pubco’s operating results;

•        success of competitors;

•        Pubco’s operating results failing to meet the expectation of securities analysts or investors in a particular period;

•        changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning Pubco or the industry in general;

•        operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to Pubco;

•        Pubco’s ability to market new and enhanced products on a timely basis;

•        changes in laws and regulations affecting Pubco’s business;

•        commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving Pubco;

•        changes in Pubco’s capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;

•        the volume of Pubco Ordinary Shares available for public sale;

•        any major change in the board or management of Pubco;

•        sales of substantial amounts of Pubco shares by its directors, executive officers or significant stockholders or the perception that such sales could occur; and

•        general economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations and acts of war or terrorism.

Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of Pubco’s securities irrespective of its operating performance. The stock market in general has experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of Pubco’s securities, may not be predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for clean energy related stocks or the stocks of other companies which investors perceive to be similar to Pubco could depress its stock price regardless of its business, prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline in the market price of Pubco’s securities also could adversely affect its ability to issue additional securities and its ability to obtain additional financing in the future.

The Sponsor, and Sizzle’s directors and officers have agreed to vote in favor of its initial Business Combination, regardless of how Sizzle’s public stockholders vote.

Unlike many other blank check companies in which the founders agree to vote their founder shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the public stockholders in connection with an initial business combination, the Sponsor, Sizzle’s directors and officers have agreed to vote their founder shares and placement shares, as well as any public shares purchased by them in or after the Sizzle IPO, in favor of the initial Business Combination of Sizzle. Our Sponsor together with our directors and officers and permitted transferees currently own 6,147,750 shares of Sizzle Common Stock, representing 28.24% of the 21,770,600 issued and outstanding shares of Sizzle Common Stock. Accordingly, it is more likely that the necessary stockholder approval will be received than would be the case if Sizzle’s Sponsor, directors and officers agreed to vote their founder shares and placement shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by its public stockholders.

The Pubco Ordinary Shares to be received by Sizzle’s stockholders as a result of the Business Combination will have different rights from shares of Sizzle Common Stock.

Following completion of the Business Combination, the Sizzle stockholders will no longer be stockholders of Sizzle but will instead be shareholders of Pubco. There will be important differences between your current rights as a Sizzle stockholder and your rights as a Pubco shareholder. See “Comparison of Stockholder Rights” for a discussion of the different rights associated with the shares of common stock.

Sizzle’s stockholders will have a reduced ownership and voting interest after consummation of the Business Combination and will exercise less influence over management.

After the completion of the Business Combination, Sizzle’s stockholders will own a smaller percentage of Pubco than they currently own of Sizzle. Immediately upon completion of the Business Combination, it is anticipated that Sizzle’s stockholders including the Sponsor will own approximately 21.0% of the Pubco Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination, and of that amount approximately 4.4% will be owned by the Sponsor, assuming that none of Sizzle stockholders exercise their redemption rights. (These percentages do not include ownership of Pubco Ordinary Shares as result of the exercise of Sizzle Warrants which upon Closing are exchanged for Pubco Warrants). Consequently, Sizzle’s stockholders, as a group, will have reduced ownership and voting power in Pubco compared to their ownership and voting power in Sizzle.

Subsequent to the consummation of the Business Combination, Pubco may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on its financial condition, results of operations and stock price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

Although Sizzle has conducted due diligence on the Company, there is no assurance that this diligence revealed all material issues that may be present in the Company’s business, that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence, or that factors outside of Sizzle’s and the Company’s control will not later arise. As a result, Pubco may be forced later to write down or write off assets, restructure its operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in losses. Even if Sizzle’s due diligence successfully identifies certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with Sizzle’s preliminary risk analysis. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and not have an immediate impact on the liquidity of Pubco, the fact that Pubco reports charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about the Combined Company or its securities. In addition, charges of this nature may cause Pubco to be unable to obtain future financing on favorable terms or at all.

Our founder shares may have an adverse effect on the market price of Sizzle Common Stock and Pubco Ordinary Shares.

Simultaneously with the IPO, we issued 770,000 shares of Sizzle Common Stock in a private placement to our Sponsor and I-Bankers. The Sizzle Initial Stockholders also currently own an aggregate of 5,425,000 founder shares, which are convertible into shares of Sizzle Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as described in this proxy statement/prospectus. In addition, if our Sponsor makes any working capital loans, up

92

Table of Contents

to $1,500,000 of such loans may be converted into units, at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender, upon consummation of our initial Business Combination. Those units, if any, would be identical to the placement units, although as of September 30, 2022, there were no such working capital loans outstanding. The potential for the issuance of a substantial number of additional shares of Sizzle Common Stock upon exercise of these warrants, conversion of these rights and loan conversion rights will increase the number of issued and outstanding shares of our Sizzle Common Stock and reduce the value of the shares of Sizzle Common Stock issued to complete the Business Combination.

The placement shares are identical to the public shares sold in the IPO except that the private shares may not be sold or transferred by them (except to certain permitted transferees) until after Sizzle’s initial Business Combination.

Pubco may not be able to timely and effectively implement controls and procedures required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that will be applicable to it after the Business Combination.

Neither Sizzle nor the Company is currently subject to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. However, following the Business Combination, Pubco will be required to provide management’s attestation on internal controls. The standards required for a public company under Section 404 of the Sarbanes- Oxley Act of 2002 are significantly more stringent than those required of the Company as a privately-held company. Management may not be able to effectively and timely implement controls and procedures that adequately respond to the regulatory compliance and reporting requirements that will be applicable to Pubco after the Business Combination. If Pubco is not able to implement the additional requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner or with adequate compliance, Pubco may not be able to assess whether its internal controls over financial reporting are effective, which may subject it to adverse regulatory consequences and could harm investor confidence and the market price of its common stock.

The requirements of being a public company may strain Pubco’s resources and divert management’s attention.

As a public company, Pubco is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Act, the listing requirements of Nasdaq and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Compliance with these rules and regulations will increase the legal and financial compliance costs of Pubco, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly and increase demand on Pubco’s systems and resources, particularly after it is no longer an “emerging growth company.” The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that Pubco maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. In order to maintain and, if required, improve Pubco’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting to meet this standard, significant resources and management oversight may be required. As a result, management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could adversely affect Pubco’s business and operating results. Pubco may need to hire more employees in the future or engage outside consultants to comply with these requirements, which will increase its costs and expenses.

In addition, changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs and making some activities more time consuming. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. Pubco intends to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management’s time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If Pubco’s efforts to comply with new laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to their application and practice, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against Pubco and its business may be adversely affected.

Pubco is an “emerging growth company” and it cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make its shares of common stock less attractive to investors.

Pubco is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in 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

93

Table of Contents

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. Additionally, as an emerging growth company, Pubco elected to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As such, the financial statements of Pubco may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates. It cannot be predicted if investors will find Pubco Ordinary Shares less attractive because Pubco may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find Pubco Ordinary Shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for Pubco Ordinary Shares and its share price may be more volatile.

The future exercise of registration rights may adversely affect the market price of Pubco Ordinary Shares.

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement to entered into concurrently with the Closing, Pubco will register the Pubco Ordinary Shares held by EUR, Sizzle, the Sponsor and certain other holders (together, the “Holders”) of Pubco Ordinary Shares or any successor to Pubco (including Pubco Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise, conversion, exchange or redemption of any other security therefor), excluding any such Pubco Ordinary Shares that (i) have been sold, transferred, exchanged or otherwise disposed of in accordance with a registration statement, or have been sold pursuant to Rule 144 (“Rule 144”) or Rule 145 (or any successor provisions) under the Securities Act or in any other transaction in which the recipient does not receive “restricted securities” (as that term is defined for purposes of Rule 144), (ii) have been transferred to a transferee that has not agreed in writing and for the benefit of Pubco to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (iii) have ceased to be outstanding or (iv) have ceased to be of a class of securities of Pubco that is listed and traded on a recognized national securities exchange or automated quotation system. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Holder, such Holder’s Shares shall not constitute Registrable Shares if all of such Holder’s Shares (together with any Shares held by Affiliates of such Holder) are eligible for immediate sale in a single transaction pursuant to Rule 144 (or any successor provision) with no volume or other restrictions or limitations under Rule 144 (or any such successor provision).

In addition, the Holders will be granted both demand and piggyback registration rights for the Pubco securities that it will receive in connection with the Business Combination.

The registration of these securities will permit the public resale of such securities, subject to any applicable contractual lock-up obligation. The registration and availability of such a significant number of securities for trading in the public market may have an adverse effect on the market price of Pubco Ordinary Shares post-Business Combination.

Anti-takeover provisions contained in the Proposed Charter and proposed amended and restated bylaws of Pubco, as well as provisions of British Virgin Islands law, could impair a takeover attempt and limit the price investors might be willing to pay in the future for the Pubco Ordinary Shares and could entrench management.

The Proposed Charter will contain provisions that may discourage unsolicited takeover proposals that stockholders may consider to be in their best interests. Pubco is also subject to anti-takeover provisions under British Virgin Islands law, which could delay or prevent a change of control. Together these provisions may make more difficult the removal of management and may discourage transactions that otherwise could involve payment of a premium over prevailing market prices for Pubco’s securities.

These provisions include the ability of the board of directors to designate the terms of and issue new series of preferred shares without shareholder approval, which may make more difficult the removal of management and may discourage transactions that otherwise could involve payment of a premium over prevailing market prices for Pubco’s securities. The Proposed Charter also provides that the board of directors shall be classified into three classes of directors. As a result, in most circumstances, a person can gain control of the board only by successfully engaging in a proxy contest at two or more annual general meetings. There are advance notice requirements for shareholders seeking to nominated directors and propose matters to be acted upon at shareholder meetings, which could discourage or make more difficult an attempt to obtain control of Pubco by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger, or otherwise.

The Proposed Charter will provide, subject to limited exceptions, that the courts of the British Virgin Islands will be the exclusive forum for matters arising out of or in connection with the Proposed Charter, which could limit our shareholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with Pubco or its directors, officers, employees or stockholders.

The Proposed Charter provides that, unless Pubco otherwise consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, each party shall be deemed to have agreed that the courts of the British Virgin Islands shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine all any dispute, suit, action, proceedings, controversy or claim of any kind arising out of or in connection with the Proposed Charter and for such purposes Pubco and each member shall be deemed to have irrevocably submitted to the jurisdiction of such courts.

Additionally, unless Pubco otherwise consents in writing, the federal district courts of the United States will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of claims arising under the Securities Act and Exchange Act.

This choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring such claims in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or any of our directors, officers, other employees or stockholders, which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in the Proposed Charter to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

The Sponsor, Sizzle’s directors and officers and advisors and their respective affiliates may elect to purchase shares from holders of our public shares in connection with the Business Combination, which may influence the vote on the Business Combination and reduce the public “float” of Sizzle Common Stock.

The Sponsor, Sizzle’s directors and officers and advisors and their respective affiliates may purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of the Business Combination, although they are under no obligation to do so. No such person will make any such purchases when such persons are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller or during a restricted period under Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Such purchases may include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record holder of Sizzle’s shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that the Sponsor, Sizzle’s directors and officers and advisors or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from holders of our public shares who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The price per share paid in any such transaction may be different than the amount per share a public shareholder would receive if it elected to redeem its shares in connection with the Business Combination. The purpose of such purchases could be to vote such shares in favor of the Business Combination and thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining shareholder approval or to satisfy the closing condition that requires Sizzle to have a minimum amount of cash upon the consummation of the Business Combination, where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met. This may result in the completion of the Business Combination although it may not otherwise have been possible. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Sections 13 and 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements.

In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of the Sizzle Common Stock or Sizzle Warrants and the number of beneficial holders of Sizzle’s securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to maintain the quotation, listing or trading of Sizzle’s securities on a national securities exchange, including Nasdaq.

Unlike our Sponsor’s and Sizzle Initial Stockholders’ holdings currently, such newly purchased shares (if any) by those purchasers would not be subject to a lock-up period under the terms of our Sponsor Support Agreement. However, these newly purchased shares would be subject to limitations on resale under Rule 144 of the Securities Act as “control securities”, to the extent those shares were acquired by an affiliate of Sizzle, unless they are registered on a subsequent registration statement filed under the Securities Act. Limitations on resale would require those affiliated purchasers of such newly purchased shares to hold them for at least one year (from the date Pubco files certain information on Form 8-K following the Closing in accordance with rules applicable to special purpose acquisition companies), assuming they are not registered on a registration statement following the Closing and Pubco has fully complied with its reporting requirements and other requirements under Rule 144. When eligible to be sold, such securities if not registered under such a registration statement would be limited by applicable requirements of Rule 144, including limitations in their manner of sale and to the volume of sales eligible under Rule 144.

Table of Contents

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, no agreements with respect to the private purchase of public shares by the persons described above have been entered into with any such investor or holder. Sizzle will file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC to disclose private arrangements entered into or significant private purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the Business Combination Proposal or other proposals.

Risks Related to Ownership of Pubco Ordinary Shares

The Company does not expect to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.

After the completion of the Business Combination, the Company does not anticipate declaring any cash dividends to holders of its shares in the foreseeable future. Consequently, investors may need to rely on sales of their shares after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on their investment.

There can be no assurance that Pubco Ordinary Shares will be approved for listing on Nasdaq upon the Closing, or if approved, that Pubco will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq.

The Sizzle Common Stock, the Sizzle Warrants, and Sizzle’s publicly traded units and rights are currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. In connection with the Closing, we intend to apply to list the Pubco Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market upon the Closing under the symbol “CRML” and the Pubco Warrants under the symbol “CRMLW”. As part of the application process, we are required to provide evidence that we are able to meet the initial listing requirements of Nasdaq, which are more rigorous than Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements and include, among other things, a requirement that Pubco have 300 or more unrestricted round lot holders, at least 150 of which hold unrestricted shares with a minimum value of $2,500, and meet a minimum public float Pubco’s ability to meet these listing requirements may depend, in part, on the number of shares of Sizzle Common Stock that are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, as the number of redemptions may impact whether Pubco has at least 300 unrestricted round lot holders upon the Closing, among other initial listing requirements. Pubco’s application has not yet been approved, and may not be approved if we are unable to provide evidence satisfactory to Nasdaq that Pubco will meet these listing requirements.

If the Pubco Ordinary Shares is not approved for listing on Nasdaq or, after the Closing, Nasdaq delists Pubco’s shares from trading on its exchange for failure to meet the listing standards, Pubco and its stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences including:

•        a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;

•        reduced liquidity for our securities;

•        a determination that Pubco Ordinary Shares is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in Pubco Ordinary Shares to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities;

•        a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

•        a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

Following the Business Combination, Pubco’s business and stock price may suffer as a result of its lack of public company operating experience and if securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about Pubco, its business, or its market, or if they change their recommendations regarding Pubco Ordinary Shares in an adverse manner, the price and trading volume of Pubco Ordinary Shares could decline.

Prior to the completion of the Business Combination, the Company has been a privately-held company. Although EUR is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange, the Company’s management’s lack of public company operating experience in the U.S. may make it difficult to forecast and evaluate its future prospects. If Pubco is unable to execute its business strategy, either as a result of its inability to manage effectively its business in a public company environment or for any other reason, Pubco’s business, prospects, financial condition and operating results may be harmed.

96

Table of Contents

The trading market for Pubco Ordinary Shares will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about Pubco, its business, its market, or its competitors. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on Pubco. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of Pubco, its stock price and trading volume would likely be negatively impacted. If any of the analysts who may cover Pubco changes its recommendation regarding Pubco’s stock in an adverse manner, or provides more favorable relative recommendations about its competitors, the price of Pubco Ordinary Shares would likely decline. If any analyst who may cover Pubco were to cease coverage of Pubco or fail to regularly publish reports on it, Pubco could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause Pubco’s stock price or trading volume to decline.

The IRS may not agree that Pubco should be treated as a non-U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Although Pubco is incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and not a tax resident in a jurisdiction outside the British Virgin Islands, the IRS may assert that it should be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 7874 of the Code. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, a corporation is generally classified as a U.S. (or “domestic”) corporation if it is created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia. Because Pubco is not so created or organized (but is instead incorporated only in the British Virgin Islands), it would generally be classified as a foreign corporation (that is, a corporation other than a U.S. (or “domestic”) corporation) under these general rules. Section 7874 of the Code provides an exception under which a corporation created or organized only under non-U.S. law may, in certain circumstances, be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

As more fully described in the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Holders — U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment of Pubco — Tax Residence of Pubco for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes,” based on the terms of the Business Combination, the rules for determining share ownership under Section 7874 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Section 7874 Regulations”), and certain factual assumptions, Pubco is not currently expected to be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 7874 of the Code after the Business Combination. However, the application of Section 7874 of the Code is complex, is subject to detailed regulations (the application of which is uncertain in various respects and would be impacted by changes in such U.S. tax laws and regulations with possible retroactive effect) and is subject to certain factual uncertainties. In addition, whether the requirements for the treatment of Pubco as a foreign corporation have been satisfied must be finally determined after the completion of the Business Combination, by which time there could be adverse changes to the relevant facts and circumstances. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge the status of Pubco as a foreign corporation under Section 7874 of the Code or that such challenge would not be sustained by a court.

If the IRS were to successfully challenge under Section 7874 of the Code Pubco’s status as a foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, Pubco and certain Pubco shareholders could be subject to significant adverse tax consequences, including a higher effective corporate income tax rate on Pubco and potential future withholding taxes on certain Pubco shareholders. In particular, holders of Pubco Ordinary Shares and/or Pubco Warrants would be treated as holders of stock and warrants of a U.S. corporation.

See “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Holders — U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment of Pubco — Tax Residence of Pubco for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes” for a more detailed discussion of the application of Section 7874 of the Code to the Business Combination. Investors in Pubco should consult their own advisors regarding the application of Section 7874 of the Code to the Business Combination.

U.S. Holders of Pubco Ordinary Shares may suffer adverse tax consequences if Pubco is treated as a passive foreign investment company.

A non-U.S. corporation generally will be treated as a “passive foreign investment company,” or a PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in any taxable year if either (1) at least 75% of its gross income for such year is passive income (such as interest, dividends, rents and royalties (other than rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business) and gains from the disposition of assets giving rise to passive income) or (2) at least 50% of the value of its assets (based on an average of the quarterly values of the assets) during such year is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. Although based on the current and anticipated composition of the income, assets and operations of Pubco and its subsidiaries, Pubco does not

97

Table of Contents

believe it will be treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for its current taxable year, which includes the Business Combination, and does not expect to become one for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the near future, this is a factual determination that depends on, among other things, the composition of Pubco’s income and assets, and the market value of its shares and assets, including the composition of income and assets and the market value of shares and assets of its subsidiaries, from time to time. Accordingly, a complete determination can only be made annually after the close of each taxable year. Thus, no assurance can be given as to whether Pubco will be a PFIC in 2022 or for any future taxable year. In addition, neither Sizzle’s nor Pubco’s respective U.S. counsel expresses any opinion with respect to Pubco’s PFIC status for 2022 or future taxable years.

If Pubco is a PFIC for any taxable year, a U.S. Holder of Pubco Ordinary Shares may be subject to adverse tax consequences and may incur certain information reporting obligations. Under the PFIC rules, unless such U.S. Holder makes an election available under the Code (which election could itself have adverse consequences for such U.S. Holder), such U.S. Holder may be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the then prevailing maximum rates on ordinary income and possibly an “interest” charge, in respect of “excess distributions” and upon any gain from the disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares, as if the excess distribution or gain had been recognized ratably over such U.S. Holder’s holding period of the Pubco Ordinary Shares. Additionally, there can be no assurance that Pubco will have timely knowledge of its status as a PFIC in the future or that Pubco will timely provide information that would be required in order for a U.S. Holder to make a QEF election. For a further discussion, see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Holders — Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules.” U.S. Holders of Pubco Ordinary Shares are strongly encouraged to consult their own advisors regarding the potential application of these rules to Pubco and the ownership of Pubco Ordinary Shares.

A market for Pubco’s securities may not develop, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of Pubco’s securities.

Following the Business Combination, the price of Pubco’s securities may fluctuate significantly due to the market’s reaction to the Business Combination, including a significant number of redemptions by Sizzle’s public stockholders, and general market and economic conditions. An active trading market for Pubco’s securities following the Business Combination may never develop or, if developed, may not be sustained. In addition, the price of Pubco’s securities after the Business Combination could vary due to general economic conditions and forecasts, its general business condition and the release of its financial reports. You may be unable to sell your securities unless a market can be established or sustained.

Pubco’s issuance of additional capital stock in connection with financings, acquisitions, investments, share incentive plans or otherwise will dilute all other stockholders.

Pubco expects to issue additional shares in the future that will result in dilution to all other shareholders. Pubco expects to grant equity awards to employees, directors, and consultants under its share incentive plans. Pubco expects to raise capital through equity financings in the future. As part of its business strategy, Pubco may acquire or make investments in complementary companies, products, or technologies and issue equity securities to pay for any such acquisition or investment. Any such issuances of additional shares may cause shareholders to experience significant dilution of their ownership interests and the per share value of Pubco Ordinary Shares to decline.

Risks Relating to Redemption

The ability to execute Sizzle’s strategic plan could be negatively impacted to the extent a significant number of stockholders choose to redeem their shares in connection with the Business Combination.

In the event the aggregate cash consideration Sizzle would be required to pay for all of its public shares that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement exceeds the aggregate amount of cash available to Sizzle, Sizzle may be required to increase the financial leverage Sizzle’s business would have to support. This may negatively impact Sizzle’s ability to execute on its own future strategic plan.

98

Table of Contents

There is no guarantee that a Sizzle stockholder’s decision whether to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account will put the stockholder in a better future economic position.

No assurance can be given as to the price at which a stockholder may be able to sell the Pubco Ordinary Shares in the future following the completion of the Business Combination or any alternative Business Combination. Certain events following the consummation of any Business Combination, including the Business Combination, may cause an increase in our share price, and may result in a lower value realized now than a Sizzle stockholder might realize in the future had the stockholder not elected to redeem such stockholder’s shares. Similarly, if an Sizzle stockholder does not redeem its shares, the stockholder will bear the risk of ownership of the public shares after the consummation of any Business Combination, and there can be no assurance that a stockholder can sell its shares of Sizzle Common Stock in the future for a greater amount than the redemption price set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. Each Sizzle stockholder should consult its own tax and/or financial advisor for assistance on how this may affect its individual situation.

If Sizzle stockholders fail to comply with the redemption requirements specified in this proxy statement/prospectus, they will not be entitled to redeem their shares of Sizzle Common Stock for a pro rata portion of the funds held in Sizzle’s Trust Account.

Holders of Sizzle Common Stock are required to submit a request in writing and deliver their stock (either physically or electronically) to our transfer agent at least two business days prior to the special meeting. Stockholders electing to redeem their shares will receive their pro rata portion of the Trust Account less taxes payable, calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the Business Combination. See the section entitled “Special Meeting of Sizzle Stockholders — Redemption Rights” for additional information on how to exercise your redemption rights. Failure to comply with the redemption procedures could result in the inability to redeem your Sizzle Common Stock.

Risks Related to Sizzle and the Business Combination

The Sponsor and Sizzle’s directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may elect to purchase shares of Sizzle Common Stock from Sizzle’s stockholders, which may influence a vote on a proposed Business Combination and reduce the public float of Sizzle’s issued and outstanding capital stock.

The Sponsor and Sizzle’s directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase shares of Sizzle Common Stock in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market prior to the completion of the Business Combination, although they are under no obligation to do so. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such stockholder, although still the record holder of such shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that the Sponsor and Sizzle’s directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from Sizzle stockholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling stockholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of such purchases could be to vote such shares in favor of the Business Combination and thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the Business Combination, or to satisfy the closing condition in the Merger Agreement that requires Sizzle to have a minimum amount of cash at the Closing. This may result in the completion of the Business Combination that may not otherwise have been possible.

In addition, if such purchases are made, the public float of Sizzle Common Stock and the number of beneficial holders of Sizzle’s securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult for Pubco to obtain the quotation, listing or trading of its securities on a national securities exchange.

If a stockholder or a “group” of stockholders are deemed to hold in excess of 15% of Sizzle Common Stock, such stockholder or group will lose the ability to redeem all such shares in excess of 15% of Sizzle Common Stock.

The Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation provides that a stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares sold in the Sizzle IPO, which Sizzle refers to as the “Excess Shares.” However, Sizzle would not be restricting its stockholders’ ability to vote all of their shares (including Excess Shares) for or against its Business Combination. The inability of a stockholder to redeem the Excess Shares will reduce its influence

99

Table of Contents

over Sizzle ability to complete its Business Combination and such stockholder could suffer a material loss on its investment in Sizzle if it sells Excess Shares in open market transactions. Additionally, such stockholder will not receive redemption distributions with respect to the Excess Shares if Sizzle completes its Business Combination. And as a result, such stockholder will continue to hold that number of shares exceeding 15% and, in order to dispose of such shares, would be required to sell its stock in open market transactions, potentially at a loss.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to the Sizzle stockholders, Sizzle files a voluntary bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against Sizzle that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of Sizzle’s stockholders and the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by Sizzle’s stockholders in connection with Sizzle’s liquidation may be reduced.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to the Sizzle stockholders, Sizzle files a voluntary bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against Sizzle that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in Sizzle’s bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of Sizzle’s stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by Sizzle’s stockholders in connection with Sizzle’s liquidation may be reduced.

Sizzle’s stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against Sizzle to the extent of distributions received by them upon redemption of their shares.

Under the DGCL, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. The pro rata portion of the Trust Account distributed to Sizzle stockholders upon the redemption of Sizzle Common Stock in the event Sizzle does not complete its initial Business Combination by February 8, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation), may be considered a liquidation distribution under Delaware law. If a corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution. However, it is Sizzle’s intention to redeem its Sizzle Common Stock as soon as reasonably possible following February 8, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation), in the event Sizzle does not complete its Business Combination and, therefore, Sizzle does not intend to comply with those procedures.

Because Sizzle will not be complying with Section 280, Section 281(b) of the DGCL requires Sizzle to adopt a plan, based on facts known to Sizzle at such time that will provide for its payment of all existing and pending claims or claims that may be potentially brought against Sizzle within the 10 years following its dissolution. However, because Sizzle is a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and Sizzle ’s operations are limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from Sizzle’s vendors (such as lawyers, investment bankers, etc.) or prospective target businesses. If Sizzle’s plan of distribution complies with Section 281(b) of the DGCL, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would likely be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution. Sizzle cannot assure you that it will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against it. As such, Sizzle’s stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of Sizzle’s stockholders may extend beyond the third anniversary of such date. Furthermore, if the pro rata portion of the Trust Account distributed to the Sizzle stockholders upon the redemption of the Sizzle Common Stock in the event Sizzle does not complete its initial Business Combination by February 8, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation), is not considered a liquidation distribution under Delaware law and such redemption distribution is deemed to be unlawful, then pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, the statute of limitations for claims of creditors could then be six years after the unlawful redemption distribution, instead of three years, as in the case of a liquidation distribution.

Risks Related to the Business Combination and Integration of Businesses

While Sizzle and the Company work to complete the Business Combination, management’s focus and resources may be diverted from operational matters and other strategic opportunities.

Successful completion of the Business Combination may place a significant burden on management and other internal resources. The diversion of management’s attention and any difficulties encountered in the transition process could harm the new Combined Company’s business financial condition, results of operations and prospects. In addition, uncertainty about the effect of the Business Combination on the Company systems, employees, customers, partners, and other third parties, including regulators, may have an adverse effect on the new Combined Company. These uncertainties may impair the new Combined Company’s ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel for a period of time after the completion of the Business Combination.

The Company’s management has no or limited experience operating U.S. a public company.

The Company’s executive officers and directors have experience in managing EUR, an Australian publicly traded company, however have no or limited experience in the management of a U.S. publicly traded company. The Company’s management team may not successfully or effectively manage its transition to a public company following the Business Combination that will be subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under federal securities laws. Their limited experience in dealing with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies could be a significant disadvantage in that it is likely that an increasing amount of their time may be devoted to these activities which will result in less time being devoted to the management and growth of the Combined Company. It is possible that the Combined Company will be required to expand its employee base and hire additional employees to support its operations as a public company which will increase its operating costs in future periods.

The Company’s and Sizzle’s operations may be restricted during the pendency of the Business Combination pursuant to terms of the Merger Agreement.

Prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, EUR and the Company is subject to customary interim operating covenants relating to carrying on its business in the ordinary course of business and is also subject to customary restrictions on actions that may be taken during such period without Sizzle’s consent. As a result, the Company may be unable, during the pendency of the Business Combination, to make certain acquisitions and capital expenditures, borrow money and otherwise pursue other actions, even if such actions would prove beneficial.

Uncertainty about the effect of the Business Combination may affect our ability to retain key employees and may materially impact the management, strategy and results of our operation as a Combined Company.

Uncertainty about the effect of the Business Combination on the Company’s business, employees, customers, third parties with whom the Company has relationships, and other third parties, including regulators, may have an adverse effect on the Combined Company. These uncertainties may impair the Combined Company’s ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel for a period of time after the Business Combination. If key employees depart because of issues related to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with the new Combined Company, our business could be harmed.

The Combined Company may incur successor liabilities due to conduct arising prior to the completion of the Business Combination.

The new Combined Company may be subject to certain liabilities of Sizzle and the Company. Sizzle and the Company at times may each become subject to litigation claims in the operation of its business, including, but not limited to, with respect to employee matters, intellectual property infringement matters and contract matters. Any litigation may be expensive and time-consuming and could divert management’s attention from the Combined Company’s business and negatively affect its operating results or financial condition. The outcome of any litigation cannot be guaranteed, and adverse outcomes can affect Sizzle, the Company and the new Combined Company negatively.

You will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the Special Meeting if you owned shares of Sizzle Common Stock as of the close of business on            , 2023, which is the Record Date for the Special Meeting. You are entitled to one vote for each share of Sizzle Common Stock that you owned as of the close of business on the Record Date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there were 21,770,600 shares of Sizzle Common Stock issued and outstanding, consisting of 15,500,000 shares originally sold as part of units in the Sizzle IPO, 770,000 shares originally sold as to both the Sponsor and Cantor in a Private Placement that occurred simultaneously with the consummation of the Sizzle IPO and 5,425,000 founder shares that were issued to the Sponsor prior to the Sizzle IPO (as well as 75,600 shares issued to EarlyBird Capital prior to the Sizzle IPO). Sizzle does not expect to issue any shares of common stock on or before the Record Date.

Vote of the Sponsor, Directors and Officers

In connection with the Sizzle IPO, Sizzle entered into agreements with each of its Sponsor, directors and officers pursuant to which each agreed to vote any shares of common stock owned by it in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. These agreements apply to the Sponsor as it relates to the founder shares and any placement shares and the requirement to vote such shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. Our Sponsor with our directors and officers currently own 6,147,750 shares of Sizzle Common Stock, representing 28.24% of the 21,770,600 issued and outstanding shares of Sizzle Common Stock. Our Sponsor, Sizzle Initial Stockholders, and our directors and officers have agreed to vote all of their founder shares and all of their shares of Common Stock (including, but not limited to, shares of Common Stock sold in the Private Placement) in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. As a result, assuming there is a quorum at the Special Meeting, and assuming that Cantor and EBC also voted in favor of the applicable Proposal, we may need as few as 4,624,700, or approximately 30% of our 15,500,000 public shares, to be voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and Charter Amendments Proposal (and as few as only 1,479,401, or approximately 9.5%, of our 15,500,000 public shares in favor of the remaining Condition Precedent Proposals), in order to have our Business Combination and the Condition Precedent Proposals approved.

here to preregister for the online meeting” link at the top of the page. Just prior to the start of the meeting you will need to log back into the meeting site using your control number. Pre-registration is recommended but is not required in order to attend.

•        Beneficial stockholders (those holding shares through a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other holder of record) who wish to attend the virtual meeting must obtain a legal proxy by contacting their account representative at the bank, broker, or other nominee that holds their shares and e-mail a copy (a legible photograph is sufficient) of their legal proxy to proxy@continentalstock.com. Beneficial stockholders who e-mail a valid legal proxy will be issued a 14-digit meeting control number that will allow them to register to attend and participate in the special meeting. After contacting Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a beneficial holder will receive an e-mail prior to the meeting with a link and instructions for entering the virtual meeting. Beneficial stockholders should contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company at least five (5) business days prior to the meeting date in order to ensure access.

Quorum and Required Vote for Proposals

A quorum of Sizzle stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the Special Meeting if a majority of the common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting is represented in person (including by virtual attendance) or by proxy. Abstentions will count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum. Broker non-votes will not be counted for purposes of establishing a quorum.

Approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal and Charter Amendments Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Sizzle Common Stock as of the Record Date. Accordingly, a Sizzle stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting or an abstention will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal and Charter Amendments Proposal.

The approval of the remaining Proposals (consisting of the Nasdaq Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal the Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals and the Adjournment Proposal) requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting. Accordingly, a Sizzle stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting or the failure of a Sizzle stockholder who holds his or her shares in “street name” through a broker or other nominee to give voting instructions to such broker or other nominee (a “broker non-vote”) will result in that stockholder’s shares not being counted towards the number of shares of Sizzle Common Stock required to validly establish a quorum, but if a valid quorum is otherwise established, it will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on the Nasdaq Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal, the Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals or the Adjournment Proposal. Abstentions of persons appearing at the Special Meeting likewise will also have no effect on the outcome of these proposals.

The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will be consummated only if the Condition Precedent Proposals (consisting of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendments Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal) are approved at the Special Meeting. The Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals, the ESPP Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are not Condition Precedent Proposals for consummation of the Business Combination, and the Adjournment Proposal does not require the approval of any other proposal to be effective.

It is important for you to note that in the event that the Business Combination Proposal and the other Condition Precedent Proposals do not receive the requisite vote for approval, after taking into account any approved adjournment or postponement, if necessary, then we will not consummate the Business Combination. If we do not consummate the Business Combination and fail to complete an initial Business Combination February 8, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation), we will be required to dissolve and liquidate our Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the public stockholders.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, if you hold your stock in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee, that entity cannot vote your shares with respect to non-discretionary matters unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank or nominee. We believe that all the proposals presented to our stockholders will be considered non-discretionary, and therefore your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your shares without your instruction. If you do not provide instructions with your proxy, your bank, broker or other nominee may deliver a proxy card expressly indicating that it is NOT voting your shares; this indication that a bank, broker or nominee is not voting your shares is referred to as a “broker non-vote.” Broker non-votes will not be counted as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum. Broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal and the Charter Amendments Proposal. At a meeting with a quorum, broker non-votes will have no effect on the remaining Proposals.

Abstentions will be considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, but will not be counted for or against any particular proposal. An abstention will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal and Charter Amendments Proposal but will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on the remaining Proposals (consisting of the Nasdaq Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal, the Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals or the Adjournment Proposal).

Recommendation of Sizzle’s Board

The Board has unanimously determined that each of the proposals is fair to and in the best interests of Sizzle and its stockholders, and has unanimously approved such proposals. The Board unanimously recommends that stockholders:

•        vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal;

•        vote “FOR” the Charter Amendments Proposal;

•        vote “FOR” the Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals;

•        vote “FOR” the Nasdaq Proposal;

•        vote “FOR” the Incentive Plan Proposal;

•        vote “FOR” the ESPP Proposal; and

•        vote “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, if it is presented to the meeting.

When you consider the recommendation of Sizzle’s Board in favor of approval of the Proposals, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor, members of Sizzle’s Board and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or in addition to (or which may conflict with) your interests as a stockholder. These interests include, among other things:

•        If the Business Combination with the Company or another business combination is not consummated by February 8, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation), Sizzle will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the founders shares held by the Sponsor and certain directors and officers, which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to the Sizzle IPO, would be worthless because the holders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. Such shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $55.8 million based upon the closing price of $10.28 per share on Nasdaq on December 5, 2022 (and assuming no reduction in value based on them being restricted securities, or re-valuation of the securities in connection with the Business Combination). On the other hand, if the Business Combination is consummated, each outstanding share of Sizzle Common Stock will be converted into one Pubco Ordinary Share.

104

Table of Contents

•        If the Business Combination with the Company or another business combination is not consummated by February 8, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation), Sizzle will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the 722,750 private placement shares held by the Sponsor would be worthless because the holders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares Such private placement shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $7.4 million based upon the closing price of $10.28 per share of Sizzle Common Stock on Nasdaq on December 5, 2022 (and assuming no reduction in value based on them being restricted securities, or re-valuation of the securities in connection with the Business Combination)

•        If Sizzle is unable to complete a business combination within the required time period under the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation, the Sponsor will be liable under certain circumstances described herein to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of potential target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by Sizzle for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to Sizzle. If Sizzle consummates a business combination, on the other hand, Sizzle and ultimately the combined company will be liable for all such claims.

•        The Sponsor, as well as Sizzle’s officers and directors, and their affiliates, are entitled to reimbursement of certain out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with identifying, investigating, negotiating and completing a business combination. However, if Sizzle fails to consummate a business combination by February 8, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation), they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. Accordingly, Sizzle may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the Business Combination or another business combination is not consummated within such period (none of such expenses were incurred that had not been reimbursed as of September 30, 2022);

•        Based on the difference in the purchase price of $0.004 that the Sponsor paid for each of the founders shares, as compared to the purchase price of $10.00 per unit sold in the IPO, the Sponsor may earn a positive rate of return even if the share price of the combined company after the Closing falls below the price initially paid for the units in the IPO and the public shareholders experience a negative rate of return following the Closing of the Business Combination.

•        The Merger Agreement provides for the continued indemnification of Sizzle’s current directors and officers and the continuation of directors and officers liability insurance covering Sizzle’s current directors and officers.

•        The Sponsor, officers and directors (or their affiliates) may make loans from time to time to Sizzle to fund certain capital requirements. The Sponsor agreed to loan Sizzle an aggregate of up to $150,000, of which approximately $153,127 was outstanding as of September 30, 2022 (as the note is currently without fixed terms). The Sponsor, its affiliates and Sizzle’s officers and directors have the Promissory Note outstanding to Sizzle. Additional loans may be made after the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the loans will not be repaid and will be forgiven except to the extent there are funds available to Sizzle outside of the Trust Account.

•        Carolyn Trabuco will be the Sizzle designee to the Pubco Board upon the effectiveness of the Business Combination. As a director, in the future, Ms. Trabuco may receive any cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the Pubco Board determines to pay to its directors.

In addition to the interests of Sizzle’s directors and officers in the Business Combination, Sizzle stockholders should be aware that the certain other persons may have financial interests that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Sizzle stockholders, including:

•        Cantor, Sizzle’s underwriter in the IPO, will be entitled to receive a deferred underwriting commission and a placement agency fee upon completion of the Business Combination;

105

Table of Contents

•        Cantor purchased 47,250 representative shares from Sizzle for $10.00 per share. This purchase took place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of the Sizzle IPO and the subsequent partial exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option. Such representative shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $485,730 based upon the closing price of $10.28 per share on Nasdaq on December 5, 2022. The representative shares will become worthless if Sizzle does not consummate a business combination by February 8, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation). On the other hand, if the Business Combination is consummated, each outstanding representative share will be exchanged for one share of Pubco; and

•        EBC owns an aggregate of 75,600 EBC shares. Such EBC shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $777,168 based upon the closing price of $10.28 per share on Nasdaq on December 5, 2022. The EBC shares will become worthless if Sizzle does not consummate a business combination by February 8, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation). On the other hand, if the Business Combination is consummated, each outstanding EBC share will be exchanged for one share of Pubco.

These interests may influence Sizzle’s directors in making their recommendation that you vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal, and the transactions contemplated thereby.

Voting Your Shares

Each Sizzle Common Stock that you own in your name entitles you to one vote. If you are a record owner of your shares, there are two ways to vote your shares of Sizzle Common Stock at the Special Meeting:

•        You Can Vote By Signing and Returning the Enclosed Proxy Card.    If you vote by proxy card, your “proxy,” whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares will be voted as recommended by Sizzle’s Board “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal (if presented). Votes received after a matter has been voted upon at the Special Meeting will not be counted.

•        You Can Attend the Special Meeting and Vote in Person.    When you arrive, you will receive a ballot that you may use to cast your vote.

If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. If you wish to attend the meeting and vote in person and your shares are held in “street name,” you must obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or nominee. That is the only way Sizzle can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares.

Revoking Your Proxy

If you are a record owner of your shares and you give a proxy, you may change or revoke it at any time before it is exercised by doing any one of the following:

•        you may send another proxy card with a later date;

•        you may notify Sizzle’s secretary in writing before the Special Meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or

•        you may virtually attend the Special Meeting, revoke your proxy, and vote in person (by virtual attendance) as described above.

If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker for information on how to change or revoke your voting instructions.

No Additional Matters May Be Presented at the Special Meeting

The Special Meeting has been called only to consider the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendments Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal. Under Sizzle’s bylaws, other than procedural matters incident to the conduct of the Special Meeting, no other matters may be considered at the Special Meeting if they are not included in this proxy statement/prospectus, which serves as the notice of the Special Meeting.

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation, any holders of public shares may demand that such shares be redeemed in exchange for a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account, less taxes payable and up to $100,000 for dissolution expenses, calculated as of two (2) business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. If demand is properly made and the Business Combination is consummated, these shares, immediately prior to the Business Combination, will cease to be outstanding and will represent only the right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account which holds the proceeds of the Sizzle IPO (calculated as of two (2) business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to it to pay the Company’s taxes payable and up to $100,000 of any remaining interest for dissolution expenses). For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the Trust Account of approximately $160.0 million on December 5, 2022, the pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account for the redemption of public shares of Sizzle Common Stock was approximately $10.32 per share (less taxes paid or payable).

In order to exercise your redemption rights, you must

•        prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on            , 2023 (two (2) business days before the Special Meeting), tender your shares physically or electronically and submit a request in writing that we redeem your public shares for cash to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Sizzle’s transfer agent, at the following address:

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
One State Street Plaza, 30th Floor
New York, New York 10004
Attn: Mark Zimkind
E-mail: mzimkind@continentalstock.com

•        deliver your public shares either physically or electronically through DTC to Sizzle’s transfer agent at least two (2) business days before the Special Meeting. Stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights and opting to deliver physical certificates should allot sufficient time to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent and time to effect delivery. It is Sizzle’s understanding that stockholders should generally allot at least two (2) weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, Sizzle does not have any control over this process and it may take longer than two (2) weeks. Stockholders who hold their shares in street name will have to coordinate with their bank, broker or other nominee to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically. If you do not submit a written request and deliver your public shares as described above, your shares will not be redeemed.

107

Table of Contents

Any demand for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests (and submitting shares to the transfer agent) and thereafter, with Sizzle’s consent, until the vote is taken with respect to the Business Combination. If you delivered your shares for redemption to Sizzle’s transfer agent and decide within the required timeframe not to exercise your redemption rights, you may request that Sizzle’s transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting Sizzle’s transfer agent at the phone number or address listed above.

Prior to exercising redemption rights, stockholders should verify the market price of Sizzle Common Stock as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their common stock in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. We cannot assure you that you will be able to sell your shares of Sizzle Common Stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in Sizzle Common Stock when you wish to sell your shares.

If you exercise your redemption rights, your shares of Sizzle Common Stock will cease to be outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination and will only represent the right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account. You will no longer own those shares and will have no right to participate in, or have any interest in, the future growth of Pubco, if any. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you properly and timely demand redemption.

If the Business Combination is not approved and Sizzle does not consummate an initial Business Combination by February 8, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation) Sizzle will be required to dissolve and liquidate its Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the public stockholders and the warrants will expire worthless.

Sizzle Appraisal Rights

Under the DGCL, holders of Sizzle Common Stock, Sizzle Units and Sizzle Warrants do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination.

Proxy Solicitation

Sizzle is soliciting proxies on behalf of its Board. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone or in person. Sizzle will file with the SEC all scripts and other electronic communications as proxy soliciting materials.

Sizzle will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the Special Meeting. Sizzle has engaged Advantage Proxy to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Special Meeting. Sizzle has agreed to pay Advantage Proxy a fee of $            , plus disbursements. Sizzle will reimburse Advantage Proxy for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will indemnify Advantage Proxy and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses.

Sizzle will also reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of shares of Sizzle Common Stock for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners of Sizzle Common Stock and in obtaining voting instructions from those owners. Sizzle’s directors and officers may also solicit proxies by telephone, by facsimile, by mail, on the Internet or in person. They will not be paid any additional amounts for soliciting proxies.

THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL

We are asking our stockholders to approve the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination. Our stockholders should carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus in its entirety for more detailed information concerning the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus. You are urged to read the Merger Agreement in its entirety before voting on this proposal.

We may consummate the Business Combination only if it is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock.

Merger Agreement

This section describes the material provisions of the Merger Agreement but does not purport to describe all of the terms thereof. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Merger Agreement and the related agreements. Sizzle’s stockholders, warrant holders and other interested parties are urged to read such agreement in its entirety. Unless otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used below are defined in the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of the Merger Agreement or other specific dates, which may be updated prior to the Closing of the Business Combination. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the agreement among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the Merger Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement are also modified in important part by the disclosure schedules which are not filed publicly. The disclosure schedules were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. We do not believe that the disclosure schedules contain information that is material to an investment decision.

General Description of the Merger Agreement

On October 24, 2022, Sizzle entered into the Merger Agreement by and among Sizzle, Pubco, Merger Sub, the Company and EUR. The Merger Agreement provides for the combination of Sizzle and the Company under Pubco, a new holding company, as its direct, wholly-owned subsidiaries. Pursuant to the Business Combination and Merger Agreement (a) Pubco will acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital shares of the Company from EUR in exchange for Pubco Ordinary Shares, and any shares EUR holds in Pubco shall be surrendered for no consideration, such that the Company becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco and EUR becomes shareholder of Pubco, which we refer to as the Share Exchange; and immediately thereafter (b) Merger Sub will merge with and into Sizzle, with Sizzle continuing as the surviving entity and wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco. For more information about the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, please see the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Merger Agreement.” A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A, and is incorporated herein by reference.

Merger Consideration

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, in connection with the Effective Time of the Business Combination:

(i)     each of the outstanding shares of Sizzle Common Stock will be exchanged for the right to receive one Pubco Ordinary Share (and following such exchange the share of Sizzle Common Stock will be cancelled);

(ii)    each Sizzle Warrants will be assumed by Pubco and converted into the right to receive a Pubco Warrants; and

(iii)   EUR will receive Pubco Ordinary Shares in the Share Exchange, equal to the amount of shares consisting of (i) Seven Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($750,000,000), divided by (ii) the redemption amount per share of Sizzle Common Stock payable to Sizzle stockholders in connection with the closing of the Business Combination as provided in the Merger Agreement, and which we refer to as the Closing Share Consideration.

109

Table of Contents

Upon Effective Time, the outstanding publicly traded units of Sizzle will be separated into their component securities, consisting of (a) one share of Sizzle Common Stock and (b) one-half (1/2) of one Sizzle Warrant (each of which shall be exchanged in accordance with the foregoing description). According to the Merger Agreement, each registered holder of Sizzle Warrants will be eligible to have each whole Sizzle Warrant converted into one Pubco Warrant, following aggregation of such holder’s registered Sizzle Warrants, and rounded down to the nearest whole warrant following such aggregation of warrants, with no issuance of a fractional Pubco Warrant.

Additional Pubco Ordinary Shares will be contingently issuable to EUR, in the form of an earnout which is subject to certain terms and conditions relating to the price of Pubco Ordinary Shares, during the five year period following the consummation of the Business Combination, and which we refer to as the Earnout Shares. The Earnout Shares represent a number of Pubco Ordinary Shares equal to up to 10% of the Closing Share Consideration, and half (or 5%) are issuable if Pubco Ordinary Shares’ VWAP (as defined in the Merger Agreement) trade above $15 dollars per share, and the other half (or 5%) are issuable if such price for Pubco Ordinary Shares trade above $20 per share, in each case for any twenty trading days in any thirty day trading days during this period. The Earnout Shares are also eligible to be issued, if not already paid, if during this period a change of control occurs in which the consideration per share would meet these thresholds for issuance.

For further explanation of the consideration in the Business Combination, see the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1) — Merger Consideration.”

The Merger Consideration will be paid in the form of Pubco Ordinary Shares. Because the per share price of redemption (and the price of Pubco Ordinary Shares or Sizzle Common Stock at that time) is not currently known, the exact value of the consideration to be received by EUR, will not be known with certainty until the Closing.

Representations and Warranties

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties by each of Sizzle, the Company, EUR, Pubco and the Merger Sub. Many of the representations and warranties are qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect. “Material Adverse Effect” as used in the Merger Agreement means with respect to the relevant party, subject to certain customary exceptions, any event, state of facts, condition, change, development, circumstance, occurrence or effect that, individually or in the aggregate, has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, a materially adverse effect on the business, assets, financial condition or results of operations of SPAC or the Company and its subsidiaries, as applicable, taken as a whole. Certain of the representations are subject to specified exceptions and qualifications contained in the Merger Agreement or in information provided pursuant to certain disclosure schedules to the Merger Agreement.

The representations and warranties made under the Merger Agreement will not survive the Closing.

In the Merger Agreement, the Company, Pubco and Merger Sub made certain customary representations and warranties to Sizzle including among others, related to the following: (1) corporate matters, including due organization, existence and good standing; (2) authority and binding effect relating to execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement and other ancillary documents; (3) capitalization; (4) subsidiaries; (5) governmental approvals; (6) non-contravention; (7) financial statements; (8) Liabilities; (9) absence of certain changes; (10) compliance with laws; (11) permits; (12) litigation; (13) material contracts; (14) intellectual property; (15) taxes; (16) real property; (17) title to and sufficiency of assets; (18) mining; (19) employee matters; (20) benefit plans; (21) transactions with affiliates; (22) insurance; (23) suppliers; (24) business practices; (25) Investment Company Act; (26) brokers; (27) information supplied; (28) privacy and (28) independent investigation.

In the Merger Agreement, Sizzle made certain customary representations and warranties to the Company, including among others, related to the following: (1) corporate matters, including due organization, existence and good standing; (2) authority and binding effect relative to execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement and other ancillary documents; (3) governmental approvals; (4) non-contravention; (5) capitalization; (6) SEC filings, financial statements and internal controls; (7) absence of certain changes; (8) compliance with laws; (9) litigation, orders and permits; (10) taxes and tax returns; (11) employees and employee benefit plans; (12) properties;

The Registration Statement will include a proxy statement/prospectus for the purpose of soliciting proxies from the stockholders of Sizzle for the matters relating to the Business Combination to be acted on at the special meeting of the stockholders of Sizzle and providing such stockholders with an opportunity

(i)     by written notice by either Sizzle or the Company if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to February 8, 2023 (the “Outside Date”), provided that Sizzle may extend the Outside Date for an additional period ending on the earlier of (A) the last date for Sizzle to consummate its Business Combination pursuant to an extension granted pursuant to Sizzle’s organizational documents (without amending these documents), and (B) May 8, 2023, other than by a party whose action or failure to act constitutes a material breach of the Merger Agreement and has been a principal cause of the failure of the Business Combination to occur;

(iii)   by either Sizzle or the Company in the event of the other party’s uncured breach of a representation, warranty covenant or agreement in the Merger Agreement (or with respect to Sizzle, a breach by Sizzle or Sponsor of the Sponsor Support Agreement), if such breach would result in the failure of the related closing condition of that party in the Merger Agreement, following 30 days written notice to the other party of that party’s breach, which breach remains uncured, or following the Outside Date if the other party exercised reasonable best efforts to cure such breach, other than by a party whose action or failure to act resulted in a breach of the applicable closing condition;

(iv)   by either Sizzle or the Company, if Sizzle holds the Special Meeting (including any postponement or adjournment of the meeting) in which a vote is taken and the required approvals of Sizzle’s stockholders relating to the Merger Agreement and Business Combination are not obtained in accordance with applicable law and Sizzle’s organizational documents;

(v)    by the Company, if the Sizzle Board has changed or fail to make as applicable its approval of the Merger Agreement and Business Combination or its resolution to recommend to Sizzle’s stockholders to vote at a special meeting in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement in accordance with the DGCL, which we refer to as a Sizzle Board Recommendation Change;

(vi)   by EUR, in order to substantially concurrently enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal, if EUR has paid to Sizzle the Expense Reimbursement.

(vii)  by Sizzle, prior to the approval of EUR shareholders of the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination, if (A) there has occurred a EUR Adverse Recommendation Change, or (B) at any time after a EUR Competing Proposal has been publicly proposed or publicly announced the board of directors of EUR has failed to publicly affirm the EUR Board Recommendation within 10 business days (after one written request by Sizzle relating to any proposal or publicly disclosed material amendment to such proposal), provided that Sizzle has exercised this termination right within 10 business days after being entitled to do so under this section, which collectively we refer to as an EUR Adverse Recommendation Change;

If the Merger Agreement is terminated, all further obligations of the parties under the Merger Agreement (except for certain obligations related to publicity, confidentiality and access to information, waiver of claims against the Trust Account, transaction litigation, termination and related fees and general provisions) will terminate, and no party to the Merger Agreement will have any further liability to any other party thereto except for liability for willful breach.

If Sizzle terminates the Merger Agreement because of an EUR Adverse Recommendation Change (as defined above) or EUR terminates as a result of a Superior Proposal, in each case, the Company will pay Sizzle $5 million as expense reimbursement, which we refer to as the Expense Reimbursement Fee. If the Merger Agreement is terminated when an EUR Competing Proposal has been publicly announced or disclosed and not abandoned, and EUR enters into a definitive agreement relating to such EUR Competing Proposal within twelve months of such termination, then EUR will pay Sizzle the Expense Reimbursement Fee.

If EUR terminates the Merger Agreement as a result of a Sizzle Board Recommendation Change (as defined above), then Sizzle is obligated to pay EUR the Expense Reimbursement Fee.

The Expense Reimbursement Fee together with any specified costs or expenses to recover such fee are the sole and exclusive remedy to the applicable party against the other party in the circumstances in which the fee is payable.

Trust Account Waiver

The Company and EUR each agreed that they and their affiliates will not have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in Sizzle’s trust account (including any distributions therefrom) held for its public stockholders, and agreed not to, and waived any right to, make any claim against the trust account (including any distributions therefrom to Sizzle’s public stockholders).

The Sponsor also agreed to take certain other actions in support of the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination and to refrain from taking such actions that would adversely impede the ability of the parties to perform the Merger Agreement.

The Sponsor also agreed to surrender 2,049,250 shares of Sizzle Common Stock to Sizzle for no consideration immediately prior to Closing.

Lock-Up Agreement

Simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, EUR, Pubco and the Sponsor, entered into a Lock-Up Agreement (the “Lock-Up Agreement”). Pursuant to the Lock-Up Agreement, the Sponsor and EUR agreed not to, during the period commencing from the Closing and ending 180 days after the date of the Closing: (A) sell, publicly offer to sell, enter into a contract or agreement to sell, hypothecation or pledge of, grant of any

Registration Rights

Simultaneously with the Closing, each of Pubco, Sizzle, the Sponsor and EUR, together with certain other persons listed on the signature pages thereto, will enter into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which, upon completion of the Business Combination, Pubco will grant certain registration rights to EUR, Sponsor and certain other holders of Pubco Ordinary Shares. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, Pubco agrees to file a shelf registration statement on Form F-1 or F-3 under the Securities Act with respect to its securities 45 days after Closing. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, holders holding Registrable Shares (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) will be entitled to request in writing that Pubco register the resale of any or all of such Registrable Shares on such shelf registration statement. Pubco will indemnify the holders of Registrable Shares and certain persons or entities related to them, such as their officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives, against any losses or damages resulting from any untrue statement or omission of a material fact in any registration statement or prospectus pursuant to which they sell Registrable Shares, unless such liability arose from their misstatement or omission, and the holders of Registrable Shares, including Registrable Shares in any registration statement or prospectus, will agree to indemnify Pubco and certain persons or entities related to Pubco, such as its officers and directors and underwriters, against all losses caused by their misstatements or omissions in those documents.

The Investor’s Agreement will further provide that for as long as EUR beneficially owns (i) at least fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of Pubco’s then issued and outstanding equity interests, EUR shall be entitled to nominate and appoint from time to time the lower of (a) a majority of all members of the Pubco Board, and (b) four (4) members of the Pubco Board, with at least two (2) such board members satisfying the independence requirements of Pubco’s principal stock exchange and be eligible to serve on an audit committee, but no such board member being required to satisfy the diversity requirements of Pubco’s principal stock exchange, (ii) at least twenty-five percent (25%) but less than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of Pubco’s then issued and outstanding equity interests, EUR shall be entitled to nominate and appoint two (2) members of the Pubco Board from time to time, with no such board member being required to satisfy the independence or diversity requirements of Pubco’s principal stock exchange or be eligible to serve on an audit committee, and (iii) at least fifteen percent (15%) but less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total voting power of Pubco’s then issued and outstanding equity interests, EUR shall be entitled to nominate and appoint one (1) member of the Pubco Board from time to time, with such board member not being required to satisfy the independence or diversity requirements of Pubco’s principal stock exchange or be eligible to serve on an audit committee.

Warrant Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement.

In connection with the Closing, Pubco, Sizzle and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York limited purpose trust company, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”) will enter into the Warrant Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement (the “Assumed Warrant Agreement”), which will amend that certain Warrant Agreement (the “Original Warrant Agreement”), dated as of November 3, 2021, and filed with the SEC on November 8, 2021, by and between Sizzle and the Warrant Agent, which Original Warrant Agreement governs all of the Warrants issued by Sizzle. Pursuant to the Assumed Warrant Agreement, Sizzle will assign to Pubco all of Sizzle’s right, title and interest in and to the Original Warrant Agreement and Pubco will assume, and agree to pay, perform, satisfy and discharge in full, as the same become due, all of Sizzle’s liabilities and obligations under the Original Warrant Agreement, as amended. As a result, each Sizzle Warrant will automatically cease to represent a right to be exercised into Shares of Sizzle Common Stock and will instead represent a right to be exercised into Shares of Pubco pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Original Warrant Agreement, as amended.

Background of the Business Combination

Sizzle is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on October 12, 2020, for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. The Business Combination was the result of Sizzle’s search for a potential transaction during the period beginning on November 8, 2021 through July 28, 2022 utilizing the network and investing and operating experience of our management team and Board of Directors and Advisory Board with the support of its advisors. The execution of the Business Combination was the result of extensive negotiations between representatives of Sizzle and European Lithium Limited (“EUR”) based on diligence efforts of the Sizzle management team with the support of its advisors. The following is a brief description of the background of these negotiations, the Business Combination and related transactions.

On November 8, 2021, Sizzle closed the Sizzle IPO for the sale of 15,500,000 units at a price of $10.20 per unit, including 2,000,000 units issued pursuant to the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, yielding gross proceeds of $155,000,000.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Sizzle IPO, Sizzle consummated the private sale of 770,000 private placement shares at a price of $10.00 per share ($7,700,000 in the aggregate in a private placement with the Sponsor). In connection with Sizzle’s IPO, Cantor served as the underwriter and Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP (“EGS”) acted as legal advisor to Sizzle. An aggregate amount of approximately $8,150,000 will be payable to Cantor as deferred underwriting commission in connection with its role as underwriter, solely in the event that Sizzle completes an initial business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. Prior to the consummation of the Sizzle IPO, neither Sizzle, nor anyone on its behalf, engaged in any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any potential business combination target with respect to an initial business combination with EUR.

Upon the consummation of the Sizzle IPO, Sizzle commenced its search for potential targets. In connection with its search, Sizzle’s management team communicated with a number of individuals and entities who presented or offered to present acquisition opportunities, including financial advisors and companies within a variety of business sectors, including, without limitation, consumer products, retail, technology, professional services, restaurant, gaming, cannabis, home building and mineral mining.

From November 8, 2021, which was the date of the Sizzle IPO through the execution of the letter of intent, or LOI, with EUR on July 28, 2022, Sizzle identified over 130 target companies and engaged with 58 target companies. Of these 58 target companies, Sizzle signed confidentiality agreements with 46 companies, including EUR, with contemplated valuations ranging from approximately $250 million to approximately $1.5 billion. Of the companies that Sizzle signed confidentiality agreements with, Sizzle had substantial discussions with 17 of these companies. Sizzle did not have substantial discussions with the other 41 companies for one or more of the following reasons:

•        Sizzle postponed outreach efforts to the target management team due to time management and its belief that better opportunities were available.

•        Sizzle believed the target’s valuation expectations were too high relative to the target’s financial and operational performance.

•        Lack of alignment on timing or process.

•        Sizzle had concerns that there was substantial operational risk with respect to the target’s ability to achieve its financial projections.

•        The perceived valuation of the target did not meet the size requirements deemed appropriate by Sizzle.

•        The target’s management team decided the Sizzle’s timeline was not compatible for a business combination.

•        The target decided that it preferred to remain a private company.

Sizzle engaged in substantive discussions with 17 companies, excluding EUR, prior to announcing the business combination with EUR. The discussions covered various topics, including the target’s business operations, the target’s financial projections, the target’s competition, the target’s growth opportunities, potential deal structures and due diligence. Sizzle executed a LOI with 6 different companies (excluding EUR) including:

(i)     several companies in the fashion and apparel industry contemplating a transaction value in the range between $345 to $500 million range (“Company A”, “B” and “C”),

(ii)    a company in the restaurant industry contemplating a transaction value in the $200 million range (“Company D”),

(iii)   a company in the home-building industry contemplating a transaction value in the $609 million range (“Company E”),

(iv)   a company in the gaming industry contemplating a transaction value in the $500 million range (“Company F”).

Sizzle engaged in discussions with Company A from December 3, 2021 through on or about December 20, 2021 and submitted a LOI but ultimately terminated the discussions with Company A due to the parties failure to agree on certain key terms of the proposed transaction.

Discussions between Sizzle and Company B commenced on or about April 13, 2022 and continued through mid June, 2022, during which time Sizzle submitted a LOI but the Company B decided to remain a private company at that time.

Discussions between Sizzle and Company C occurred from May 31, 2022 through July 5, 2022, and Sizzle submitted an indication of interest but ultimately the discussions with Company C terminated because the Company believed its valuation was higher than reflected in the LOI and decided to remain private at such time and when discussions with EUR progressed to the point that Sizzle determined to focus its efforts on a transaction with EUR.

Regarding discussions with Company D, from February 2, 2022 through on or about March 10, 2022 Sizzle submitted an LOI, but developed concerns around the Company D’s recent performance and determined that there may be better suitable opportunities for Sizzle, and also because the company was on the lower end of Sizzle’s valuation range which it was willing to consider.

Table of Contents

Sizzle and Company E engaged in discussions commencing on April 4, 2022 through on or about May 10, 2022, during which time Sizzle submitted a letter of intent as part of a formal sales process involving multiple special purposes acquisition companies but the Company E decided to proceed with another special purpose acquisition company.

Discussions between Sizzle and Company F commenced on or about April 13, 2022 and continued through mid June, 2022, during which time Sizzle submitted a letter of intent to the Company but the Company F indicated its interests to remain a private company and in the following month Sizzle determined to focus its efforts on a transaction with EUR.

Shortly after Sizzle’s IPO, the Sizzle management team also began speaking with various investment banks to determine what capabilities each could provide as an advisor to a potential de-SPAC transaction.

Timeline of the Business Combination

On July 15, 2022, Brandon Sun, an executive of Cohen Capital Management (“CCM”) in its capacity as a financial advisor to Sizzle, arranged an initial conference call between the Sizzle management team and Jett Capital (“Jett”), EUR’s capital markets advisor. This was the first interaction or contact Sizzle had with EUR or any of its representatives. At this stage, the Sizzle management team viewed this opportunity as interesting and based upon the prior experience of one member of Sizzle’s Board of Directors, Carolyn Trabuco, as a minerals and mining analyst, decided to participate in this initial call. On this initial call Matthew Jurejevich and Quentin Anlian of Jett provided information regarding the opportunity EUR provided, the background of the EUR management team, a summary overview of the lithium and spodumene sector and Jett’s experience in this sector.

On July 15, 2022, the Sizzle management team and one of its directors, Carolyn Trabuco, who had spent over 20 years as an equity research analyst including 12 as mining and minerals analyst at hedge funds including at Pequot Capital Management and Phibro Trading, discussed the potential merits of the EUR opportunity.

Sizzle Management Process and Diligence

On July 18, 2022, the Sizzle management team and one of its directors, Carolyn Trabuco, performed market research on the lithium industry, EUR and its principals. At the suggestion of Sizzle’s lead counsel, EGS, in early August the Sizzle management team also contacted Schima/Mayer/Starlinger (“SMS”), an Austrian law firm located in Vienna, Austria, with experience in the mining sector to assist in this transaction and Seyfarth Shaw LLP (“Seyfarth”) regarding using its Australian office to help with this transaction.

On or about July 19, 2022, the Sizzle management team including Carolyn Trabuco and its bankers at CCM began preliminary discussions with EUR and its bankers at Jett with respect to a possible business combination between the two companies. In such discussions, the Sizzle management team outlined their investment thesis and their general goals related to the identification of a suitable target for an initial business combination.

Between July 19, 2022 and July 22, 2022, Sizzle conducted preliminary due diligence calls with its management team, its bankers and EGS and reviewed various industry materials to evaluate its interest in EUR’s business.

On or about July 27, 2022, Seyfarth through its Australian office, recommended the Australian law firm of Kardos Scanlan to assist with this transaction and on July 29, 2022 Sizzle executed an engagement letter with Kardos Scanlan.

During the period July 19, 2022 through July 28, 2022, Sizzle management including Carolyn Trabuco, reviewed various U.S. public company comparables and private company transactions in the lithium and spodumene mining sector.

After a thorough review of data including (i) certain comparable company trading multiples (including other Australian public companies that listed on Nasdaq) (ii) precedent transaction analysis and (iii) certain information described by EUR about its longer-term business prospects, Sizzle proposed a valuation range of $500 million to $750 million in the Letter of Intent, a price that Sizzle management thought would be reasonable and in the best interests of Sizzle’s shareholders.

Diligence and Transaction Processes

During the period July 18, 2022 through July 28, 2022, Jerry Serowik of CCM, Steve Salis, Jamie Karson and Carolyn Trabuco had discussions with Sizzle’s lead counsel, EGS, regarding the draft LOI. During this period, Jamie Karson also had conversations with SMS. Topics with EGS included transaction structure, valuation, consideration, exclusivity, and break-up fee. Topics with SMS included transaction structure and diligence requests.

During the period July 18, 2022 through July 28, 2022, Jerry Serowik expressed Sizzle’s concerns to Matthew Jurjevich of Jett regarding the LOI and also Sizzle expressed the need for EUR to receive 100% of its consideration in the form of Sizzle shares.

On July 19, 2022, Sizzle presented a non-binding LOI and attached term sheet to EUR setting forth the terms for a proposed business combination transaction.

On July 19, 2022 through July 28, 2022, negotiations of the LOI were conducted between Matthew Jurjevich of Jett Capital representing EUR and Jerry Serowik of CCM representing Sizzle.

On July 26, 2022, W&C on behalf of EUR sent to EGS on behalf of Sizzle, a markup of the LOI with revisions per the conversations held between representatives of Sizzle and representatives of EUR. This markup reflected, among other items, an indicative pre-transaction value for the Company of $500 to $750 million, an anticipated PIPE investment of $25 million, a closing condition for minimum cash of $5 million, 33% of Sponsor’s Founder Shares being subject to forfeiture, and a one year post-closing lock-up for the Company and Sponsor. EUR also agreed to receive 100% of its consideration in the form of Sizzle shares.

Sizzle also agreed to permit one-third of its sponsor shares to be used if necessary for PIPE investors.

During the period July 21, 2022 through July 27, 2022 Sizzle, CCM, and EGS, discussed with EUR and its banker Jett, and its legal counsel White & Case (“W&C”), the size of the equity incentive plan. Sizzle and EUR agreed to among other things, size the plan at 5-10% of the new company’s outstanding shares after reviewing other companies’ in the same industry and relative market capitalization, incentive plans.

On July 28, 2022 Sizzle and EUR executed the agreed final version of the non-binding LOI regarding a potential business combination transaction (subject to due diligence and negotiation of definitive agreements). The parties understood that the non-binding terms of the LOI would be subject to adjustment based on market condition and feedback from prospective PIPE investors. The LOI also provided for a mutual exclusive negotiation period of 30 days. Following entry into the LOI, Sizzle terminated discussions with all other potential target businesses.

On July 28, 2022, EUR began providing information to Sizzle regarding its subsidiaries and their collective business operations, including access to a virtual data room maintained by EUR and Jett.

On August 3, 2022 CCM and Jett discussed populating the data room with additional materials so that due diligence could be conducted to effectuate the proposed business combination, and to also set up a weekly call for Sizzle, EUR, CCM, Jett, EGS and W&C. Given the time differences of the parties involved, the all hands call which was originally set up to occur on Sunday nights at 7pm EST was moved to Monday mornings at 8:15am EST.

Sizzle’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination

Sizzle was organized for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Sizzle has sought to capitalize on the ability of its management team to identify, acquire and partner with management to operate a business.

The Board, in evaluating the Business Combination, consulted with Sizzle’s management and legal, accounting and financial advisors. In reaching its unanimous resolution (i) that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination, are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of Sizzle and its stockholders and (ii) to recommend that Sizzle’s stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Board considered a range of factors, including, but not limited to, the factors discussed below.

In light of the number and wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination, the Board did not consider it practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors that it considered in reaching its determination and supporting its decision. The Board viewed its decision as being based on any and all of the information available and the factors presented to and considered by it. In addition, individual directors may have given different weight to different factors. This explanation of the Board’s reasons for the Business Combination and all other information presented in this section may be forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Many factors were considered by Sizzle, and the factors outlined herein may or may not have been considered by any particular directors, member of management, or advisor of Sizzle Notwithstanding whether any of these factors were considered by any individual board member, the Board voted unanimously to proceed with the transaction.

The officers and directors of Sizzle have substantial experience in a wide range of industries and are confident that their experience and background, together with the experience of Sizzle’s advisors, enabled them to exercise the necessary business judgment to make the determinations regarding the Business Combination. The Board also obtained the Marshall & Stevens Opinion, described below, prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement, relating to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Merger Consideration to be paid to EUR in the Business Combination.

The Board considered a number of factors pertaining to the Business Combination as generally supporting its decision to enter into the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including, but not limited to, the following material factors:

•        Growth Prospects.    The belief that the Business Combination of Sizzle and the Company should result in significant strategic benefits to the Combined Company, which would benefit Sizzle’s stockholders, including access to exploration interests, professional resources and financing opportunities;

•        Exploration Rights.    The belief that the Business Combination would enable Sizzle to benefit from the Company’s mineral exploration rights, including the Wolfsberg Project, and customer relationships including offtake agreements;

123

Table of Contents

•        Electric Vehicle Revolution.    The Wolfsburg Project is Europe’s first licensed lithium mine and is uniquely positioned to capitalize on Europe’s increasing demand for homegrown battery production related to electric vehicles;

•        Due Diligence.    Business, financial and technical due diligence examinations of the Company and discussions with the Company’s management team were conducted, including extensive in-person meetings, a site visit and calls with the Company’s management team and its representatives regarding the Company’s operations and financial prospects, technical analysis. Additional legal and technical review of the Company’s material contracts, intellectual property and labor matters was conducted. Such due diligence examination of the Company in consultation with Sizzle’s legal, technical, and financial advisors, indicated to Sizzle management that Pubco could assemble the required elements to create a foundation for a potentially very successful mining company;

•        Stockholder Liquidity.    The obligation in the Merger Agreement to have Pubco Ordinary Shares issued as merger consideration listed on Nasdaq, a major U.S. stock exchange, which the Board believes has the potential to offer Sizzle stockholders enhanced liquidity following the Business Combination;

•        Management Team Continuity.    EUR and the Company’s senior management team including Tony Sage, Dietrich Wanke, Malcom Day, Melissa Chapman and Mykhalio Zhernov, intend to remain with the Combined Company in the capacity of officers and/or directors following the Business Combination, providing beneficial continuity in advancing Pubco’s strategic and growth goals;

•        Lock-Up.    Key Company personnel and EUR agreed to be subject to lockup provisions of 6 months in respect of their Pubco Ordinary Shares (subject to certain customary exceptions), which would provide important stability to the Combined Company;

•        Fairness Opinion.    On August 17, 2022, Sizzle engaged Marshall & Stevens for the benefit of its Board in connection with the consideration by the Board of the Business Combination between Sizzle and the Company pursuant to which (a) Critical Metals Limited, a newly organized BVI company (“Pubco”), will acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital shares and equity interests of European Lithium AT (Investments) Ltd. (“European Lithium” or the “Acquired Business” or the “Company”), a subsidiary of European Lithium Ltd. (“EUR”) from EUR in exchange for ordinary shares of Pubco, and European Lithium shall become a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco and EUR shall become a shareholder of Pubco; and (b) Project Wolf Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Merger Sub”) will merge with and into Sizzle, with Sizzle continuing as the surviving entity and wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco. Subject to various agreed procedures, terms, conditions, assumptions, qualifications and limitations, Marshall & Stevens valued the Acquired Business and, at the request of the Board, on October 20, 2022, rendered its formal written opinion, which we refer to as the “Marshall & Stevens Opinion,” that as of that date the Purchase Price to be paid by Sizzle for the Acquired Business as provided in the Merger Agreement is fair to Sizzle and, through their ownership in Sizzle, the public shareholders of Sizzle from a financial point of view. See discussion under “— The Business Combination Proposal: Marshall & Stevens Opinion.” The full text of the opinion is included with this proxy statement/prospectus; All descriptions of and disclosures concerning Marshall & Stevens Opinion are qualified in their entirety by reference to the specific text of Marshall & Stevens Opinion, a copy of which is included as Annex E to this proxy statement/prospectus. The included copy is provided only for informational purposes and is not for the benefit of or to be relied on by any person or entity other than the Board;

•        Reasonableness of Consideration.    Following a review of the financial data provided to Sizzle, including the financial projections of EUR, and the due diligence of EUR’s business conducted by Sizzle’s management and Sizzle’s advisors, and taking into account the opinion received from Marshall & Stevens regarding the fairness of the consideration to be paid by Sizzle in the Business Combination, the Board determined that the aggregate consideration to be paid in the Business Combination was fair to Sizzle;

•        Other Alternatives.    The Board believes, after a thorough review of other business combination opportunities reasonably available to Sizzle that the proposed Business Combination represents the most promising potential business combination for Sizzle and the most attractive opportunity based

124

Table of Contents

upon the process utilized to evaluate and assess other potential acquisition targets. Given the demand for electric and traditional fuel vehicles and Company’s proprietary process and mineral rights and customer pipeline, Sizzle’s Board believes the Company offers its stockholders the most potential value when compared to other target candidates; and

•        Negotiated Transaction; Merger Consideration.    The financial and other terms of the Merger Agreement, including the consideration deliverable to the security holders of EUR thereunder, and the fact that such terms and conditions are reasonable and were the product of arm’s length negotiations between Sizzle and EUR.

The Board also considered a variety of uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Business Combination including, but not limited to, the following:

•        Macroeconomic Risks.    Macroeconomic uncertainty, including the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the effects it could have on Pubco’s revenues post-closing;

•        Business Plan and Growth Initiatives May Not Be Achieved.    The risk that Pubco may not be able to execute on its business plan and realize the potential financial performance presented to Sizzle’s management team, or that Pubco’s growth initiatives may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe. Although Sizzle’s board was provided access to Pubco’s investor presentation summarizing the company’s plans for medium and long term growth, those plans were believed to be subject to significant uncertainty due to several factors, including but not limited to fluctuation in global commodity and lithium prices, legal and regulatory risks, lack of legal certainty in certain international markets, uncertainties relating to timing and scale of mining permits and activities, competition from other mining companies, and uncertainty relating to Pubco’s ability to optimize operational efficiency. Additionally, although Sizzle’s board received certain preliminary sales estimates, as the Company is not an operating company. Sizzle’s board primarily reviewed requirements for mining of Spodumene Concentrate or Lithium and their market prices and a guideline public company analysis relating to valuation ranges.

•        Asset Concentration.    The fact that the price of Spodumene Concentrate for production of Lithium was the main variable for asset sales and the mineral was the Company’s primary if not single validated asset.

•        Redemption Risk.    The potential that a significant number of Sizzle stockholders elect to redeem their shares prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and pursuant to the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation, which would potentially make the Business Combination more difficult or impossible to complete;

•        Stockholder Vote.    The risk that Sizzle’s stockholders may fail to provide the votes necessary to effect the Business Combination;

•        Closing Conditions.    The fact that the completion of the Business Combination is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain closing conditions that are not within Sizzle’s control;

•        Litigation.    The possibility of litigation challenging the Business Combination or that an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin consummation of the Business Combination;

•        Listing Risks.    The challenges associated with preparing the Company, a private entity, for the applicable disclosure and listing requirements to which the Combined Company will be subject as a publicly traded company on Nasdaq;

•        Benefits May Not Be Achieved.    The risks that the potential benefits of the Business Combination may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe;

•        Liquidation of Sizzle.    The risks and costs to Sizzle if the Business Combination is not completed, including the risk of diverting management focus and resources from other business combination opportunities, which could result in Sizzle being unable to effect a business combination by February 8, 2023, unless extended (the “Outside Date”);

•        Conflicts of Interest.    The possibility that the Board may have been influenced by conflicts between what may be in Sizzle’s best interests and what may be best for a director’s personal interests, including the possibility that if the Business Combination is not consummated, and Sizzle is forced to liquidate because

125

Table of Contents

it is unable to consummate another business combination by February 8, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Sizzle Certificate of Incorporation), the founder shares and private placement shares owned by Sizzle’s Initial Stockholders would be worthless;

•        Regulatory Risks.    The risks to the mining exploration, operations and extraction of the Wolfsberg Project include regulations, which are subject to change;

•        Board and Independent Committees.    The risk that the Combined Company’s board of directors post- Closing and independent committees do not possess adequate skills set within the context of the Combined Company operating as a public company;

•        Holders of Sizzle Common Stock, and Sizzle Warrants Receiving a Minority Position in the Combined Company.    The risk that Sizzle stockholders will hold a minority position in the Combined Company;

•        Fees and Expenses.    The fees and expenses associated with completing the Business Combination; and

•        Other Risk Factors.    Various other risk factors associated with the business of Pubco, as described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The above discussion of the material factors considered by the Board is not intended to be exhaustive, but does set forth the principal factors considered by the Board.

The Board concluded that the potential benefits expected to be achieved by Sizzle and its stockholders resulting from the Business Combination outweighed the potentially negative factors associated with the Business Combination. Accordingly, the Board determined that the Business Combination was advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of, Sizzle and its stockholders.

Sizzle’s Assessment of the Company

According to IFRS and other global valuation standards, there are three basic approaches to valuation of an enterprise, as follows:

•        Market Approach — The market approach utilizes price and other relevant publicly available data to provide comparable valuation parameters to provide a basis for estimating the value of an enterprise based on comparison to other companies. Such value comparisons may be based on actual third-party transactions or by identifying, selecting, and comparison to publicly traded enterprises with financial and operating characteristics similar to the target.

•        Income Approach — The Income Approach seeks to value assets based on the present value of the cash flow stream that is generated by an asset. The commonly used model is the Discounted Cash Flow which involves forecasting the future cash flow stream over an appropriate period, determining an appropriate discount rate for valuing this cash flow stream and then applying this discount rate to determine the present value of the stream. In determining the appropriate discount rate, one considers the relevant time value of money, inflation, risk, and target capitalization. As a practical matter, discount rates are often selected by comparison to similar market transactions.

•        Net Asset Value Approach — This approach is based on determining the discrete amount an arms-length, motivated purchaser would be willing to pay for an asset and/or its replacement value.

As the Company had no historical income from sales, an Income Approach was not chosen to be focused on by Sizzle’s Board and management. This decision was also reinforced by the fact that a terminal multiple value and terminal year growth rate was not able to be assigned, as discussed below, in the section entitled “Marshall & Stevens’ Opinion.” Sizzle’s Board and management also determine that they could rely on the fairness opinion of Marshall & Stevens described below.

As a result, the Sizzle’s Board and management chose to focus on reviewing valuations based on both the Market Approach and Net Asset Value Approach.

126

Table of Contents

Market Approach

Sizzle sought to compare the value of the Company by comparing it to selected comparable public companies. Sizzle recognized that the Company’s assets were subject to comparables and thus we sought market comparable companies who were:

—     primarily engaged in mining minerals;

—     an advanced stage on pre-feasibility or feasibility studies;

—     strength and depth of management team; and

—     companies in the “developer” stage of mineral production and may be producers of lithium (whether hard rock, brine or sedimentary/clay).

Sizzle also sought to select public companies for comparison because their financial data is publicly available, they often provide financial forecasts for the upcoming year (but usually not subsequent years), and Sizzle believes that the sum of market capitalization of public companies plus their long-term debt is a reliable measure of the enterprise value of such companies because market capitalization is set by the market.

In selecting market comparable companies, Sizzle management utilized the services of CHC as well as Sizzle’s management’s own knowledge of comparable companies to provide us with a list of market comparables.

Sizzle Management conducted further searches of public listings and identified further company comparables. As a result, the Sizzle Board and Management were able to benchmark equity and enterprise valuations for comparison to the negotiated price for the Company. In the end, we reviewed pro forma equity value and pro forma enterprise value for ten (10) publicly traded comparable companies.

The chart below summarizes the results of this analysis and the comparison to our offered US$750 million valuation of the Company’s outstanding shares. The management also reviewed the fact that the Company would have no historical debt (other than transaction expenses in connection with the Business Combination). Assuming shares outstanding on an initial pro forma basis of 95.3 million and an assumed share price of $10.20 per share, the pro forma equity value was arrived at $972 million. After deducting an assumed $134 million of cash on the balance sheet contributed by Sizzle, in a no redemption scenario and providing assumptions for transaction expenses, the Company’s pro forma enterprise value was assessed by management at $838 million. This amount did not take into account an additional 10% of consideration available to EUR subject to trading price targets, as a result of the Earnout. The following presents information reviewed by Sizzle’s Board and management based on these assumed pro forma equity value and pro forma enterprise value, relating to market comparables.

127

Table of Contents

In reviewing these market comparables, the Sizzle Board concluded that pricing was comparable if the Company was able to produce at its objectives.

Net Asset Value Approach

The Sizzle Board and management relied on the Pre-Feasibility Study, or PFS, and other mineral studies described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, which were available to Sizzle on such dates of assessment, regarding the amount of possible future production from the Company’s assets or properties under management or exploration. These included the PFS’ indicated estimated interim NPV = A$862 million (or US$635 million), which assumes production of lithium hydroxide production at US$26,800 per ton for 20 years, and this information being publicly disclosed by EUR on the Australian Stock Exchange on April 19, 2022, among other disclosures.

From this study, Sizzle’s board and management reviewed the estimated demand for lithium, an end product of the mineral production resources of the Company. This information reviewed by Sizzle’s board and management included as follows:

Arms-Length Negotiations with EUR

While undertaking the preliminary analysis of values based on the Market Approach and Net Asset Value Approach, Sizzle entered into arms-length negotiations with EUR beginning in July 2022.

After substantive discussions on the proposed transaction and our analysis above, the parties agreed on a compromise valuation for the Company of US$750 million, which were within the range for the comparable companies and Net Asset Values we selected as shown in the charts above.

Validation of the Company’s Transaction Value

As noted, the Sizzle Board elected to have a Fairness Opinion to be undertaken on its behalf by Marshall & Stevens.

report is set forth in Annex E to this proxy statement/prospectus. The Sizzle Board and management are of the view that the Marshall & Stevens review and Fairness Opinion provide further confirmation of the reasonableness of the approach and valuation agreed with EUR for the Company in the Business Combination.

Marshall and Stevens’ Opinion

The Board determined on or about October 17, 2022, that it would be in the best interests of the Sizzle and its stockholders to obtain an independent valuation of the Acquired Business by a professional valuation firm not otherwise involved in the Business Combination and on a fixed fee basis not tied to the consummation of the Business Combination or contingent upon reaching any particular result, in order to assist it in the determination of whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination at a stated value of $750,000,000 for the Acquired Business. The Board considered several valuation firms and selected Marshall & Stevens based on its long experience and national reputation for valuing business enterprises on a going concern basis, its independence, and its willingness to work on a fixed fee basis, and its compensation not tied to the consummation of the Business Combination or contingent upon the reaching of any particular result. In addition, there was no material relationship between Marshall & Stevens and Sizzle or its affiliates that existed during the past two years, or otherwise mutually understood to be contemplated. Sizzle engaged Marshall & Stevens based on Marshall & Stevens’ experience and reputation. Marshall & Stevens is regularly engaged to render financial opinions in connection with mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and for other purposes. Marshall & Stevens was retained for the benefit of the Board on August 17, 2022.

On August 17, 2022, Sizzle engaged Marshall & Stevens Transaction Advisory Services LLC (“Marshall & Stevens”) for the benefit of its Board of Directors (the “Board”) to evaluate the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the public stockholders of Sizzle of the purchase price being paid by Sizzle for the consolidated business of the Company, European Lithium AT (Investments) Ltd., which in this section we refer to as “European Lithium” or the “Acquired Business”, in connection with the anticipated acquisition by Sizzle of 100 percent of the equity and equity equivalents and/or all or substantially all of the assets and business of the Acquired Business. Marshall & Steven’s engagement was later expanded to include advice to the Board as to the fairness from a financial point of view of such consideration to the public stockholders of Sizzle. Marshall & Stevens was retained solely to advise the Board on the valuation of the Acquired Business, and not for the benefit of any other person or entity or to consider any other aspect of the Business Combination. Marshall & Stevens was not engaged to serve as the financial advisor to the Board, was not involved in the negotiation or structuring of the Business Combination, did no legal or contract review or, except as customary in valuation engagements, did not perform any other due diligence review of the Business Combination, European Lithium AT (Investments) Limited and/or the Acquired Business or any projections related thereto, and did not consider any non-financial elements of the Business Combination or any other alternatives that might be available to the Board. The engagement agreement provided for a fixed fee. Such fees were fixed at up to $135,000, with customary exceptions for an increased fee of up to $50,000, and payment of out-of-pocket expenses, without prior consent of Sizzle, of $1,000. Fees billed by Marshall & Stevens to date have totaled approximately $25,000 which have been paid in full.

On October 17, 2022, the Board met to review the proposed merger. During this meeting, Marshall & Stevens reviewed with the Board certain financial analyses as described below and rendered its oral opinion to the Board, which opinion was confirmed by delivery of a written opinion, dated October 20, 2022 (the “M&S Opinion”), to the effect that, as of that date and based on and subject to the matters described in its opinion, the purchase price being paid by Sizzle for European Lithium in the transaction was fair, from a financial point of view, to the public stockholders of Sizzle.

The full text of the M&S Opinion, which sets forth, among other things, the assumptions made, matters considered and limitations on the scope of review undertaken by Marshall & Stevens in rendering its opinion, is attached as Annex E and is incorporated into this proxy statement by reference in its entirety. Holders of the Class A Common Stock are encouraged to read this opinion carefully in its entirety. The M&S Opinion was provided to the Board for their information in connection with their evaluation of the consideration to be received by Sizzle in consideration of the issuance of the issuance of equity securities by the surviving company to the equity holders of European Lithium in the merger and relates only to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of such consideration, does not address any other aspect of the merger and does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder as to how such stockholder should vote or act with respect to any matters relating to the merger. The summary of the M&S Opinion in this proxy statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the opinion.

Table of Contents

In arriving at its opinion, Marshall & Stevens, among other things:

•        reviewed the non-binding Letter of Intent between Sizzle and European Lithium dated July 28, 2022;

•        reviewed the then contemplated business combination agreement between Sizzle and European Lithium, which was ultimately executed and dated October 24, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”);

•        reviewed the Wolfsberg Project Preliminary Feasibility Study;

•        reviewed certain operating and financial information relating to European Lithium’s business and prospects, including historical financial statements for the five years ended June 30, 2018 through June 30, 2022, and projections for the years ending June 30, 2023 through June 30, 2042, all as prepared and provided to it by European Lithium’s management;

•        spoke with certain members of European Lithium’s management regarding European Lithium’s operations, financial condition, future prospects and projected operations and performance and regarding the merger;

•        participated in discussions with the board and its counsel regarding European Lithium’s projected financials results, among other matters;

•        reviewed certain business, financial and other information regarding European Lithium that was furnished to us by European Lithium’s management;

•        performed a discounted cash flow analysis based on the projected financial information provided by European Lithium’s management;

•        performed a guideline public company analysis based on certain publicly available financial data for certain companies that Marshall & Stevens deemed relevant for purposes of its analysis; and

•        conducted such other financial studies, analyses and inquiries as deemed appropriate.

In connection with its review, Marshall & Stevens relied upon and assumed, without independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of all data, material and other information furnished or otherwise made available to it, discussed with it or reviewed by it, or publicly available, and did not assume any responsibility with respect to such data, material and other information. In addition, European Lithium’s management advised Marshall & Stevens, and Marshall & Stevens assumed, that European Lithium’s projected financial information provided to Marshall & Stevens was reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of European Lithium’s future financial results and condition. In evaluating fairness, Marshall & Stevens assumed a fair market value for Sizzle shares of $10.00 per share (the then estimated redemption value of such shares). This value was used, with the consent of the Board, due to the fact that Sizzle is a special purpose acquisition company with only limited trading history, no material operations or assets other than cash or cash equivalents and has yet to be approved of a merger agreement. Accordingly, Marshall & Stevens did not perform an independent analysis regarding the fair market value of the common stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

Marshall & Stevens expressed no opinion with respect to such forecasts and projections or the assumptions on which they are based. Marshall & Stevens also relied upon and assumed, without independent verification, that there has been no material change in European Lithium’s assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, or prospects since the date of the most recent financial statements provided to Marshall & Stevens, and that there is no information or facts not disclosed to Marshall & Stevens that would make the information reviewed by Marshall & Stevens incomplete or misleading. Marshall & Stevens also assumed that European Lithium is not party to any material pending transaction, including, without limitation, any external financing (other than in connection with the merger), recapitalization, acquisition or merger, divestiture, or spin-off (other than the merger or other publicly disclosed transactions).

Since the Acquired Business is a stand-alone subsidiary of EUR, Marshall & Stevens did not reviewed the assets, liabilities (including contingent liabilities) or income of EUR either on a consolidated or stand-alone basis and, accordingly, with the permission of the Company and the Board, did not consider any such information or the market capitalization of EUR in reaching its conclusions as to the value of European Lithium or the fairness of the purchase price for the Acquired Business to Sizzle’s public stockholders from a financial point of view.

Marshall & Stevens relied upon and assumed, without independent verification, that (a) the representations and warranties of all parties to the agreements identified in the Merger Agreement and all other related documents and instruments that are referred to therein are true and correct, (b) each party to each such agreement,

130

Table of Contents

document or instrument will perform all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed by such party, (c) all conditions to the completion of the merger will be satisfied without waiver thereof and (d) the merger will be completed in a timely manner in accordance with the terms described in the agreements provided to Marshall & Stevens, without any amendments or modifications thereto or any adjustment to the aggregate consideration (through offset, reduction, indemnity claims, post-closing purchase price adjustments or otherwise). Marshall & Stevens also relied upon and assumed, without independent verification, that all governmental, regulatory and other consents and approvals necessary for the completion of the merger will be obtained and that no delay, limitations, restrictions or conditions would be imposed.

Marshall & Stevens was not requested to make, and did not make, any physical inspection or independent appraisal or evaluation of any of the assets, properties or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of European Lithium, Sizzle, or any other party. Furthermore, Marshall & Stevens did not undertake independent analysis of any potential or actual litigation, governmental investigation, regulatory action, possible unasserted claims or other contingent liabilities to which European Lithium or Sizzle is a party or may be subject.

Marshall & Stevens’ opinion addressed only the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the purchase price to be paid by Sizzle for the Acquired Business in the merger and did not address any other aspect or implication of the merger or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding entered in connection with the merger or otherwise. The M&S Opinion was necessarily based upon information made available to it as of the date of the opinion and financial, economic, market and other conditions as they existed and could be evaluated on the date of the opinion. The M&S Opinion did not address the relative merits of the merger as compared to alternative transactions or strategies that might be available to Sizzle, nor did it address Sizzle’s underlying business decision to proceed with the merger. Except as described herein, the Sizzle board of directors imposed no other limitations on Marshall & Stevens with respect to the investigations made or procedures followed in rendering the opinion.

In preparing its opinion to the Sizzle board of directors, Marshall & Stevens performed a variety of financial and comparative analyses, including those described below that were the material financial analyses reviewed with the Board in connection with the M&S Opinion. The summary of Marshall & Stevens’ analyses described below is not a complete description of such analyses underlying the M&S Opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process involving various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances, and therefore, a fairness opinion is not readily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Marshall & Stevens arrived at its ultimate opinion based on the results of all analyses undertaken by it and assessed as a whole and did not draw, in isolation, conclusions from or with regard to any one factor or method of analysis. Accordingly, Marshall & Stevens believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and factors or focusing on information presented in tabular format, without considering all analyses and factors or the narrative description of the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the processes underlying its analyses and opinion.

In its analyses, Marshall & Stevens considered industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond European Lithium’s control. No company, transaction or business used in Marshall & Stevens’ analyses as a comparison is identical to European Lithium or the proposed merger, and an evaluation of the results of those analyses is not entirely mathematical. Rather, the analyses involve complex considerations and judgments concerning financial and operating characteristics and other factors that could affect the acquisition, public trading or other values of the companies, business segments or transactions analyzed. The estimates contained in Marshall & Stevens’ analyses and the ranges of valuations resulting from any particular analysis are not necessarily indicative of actual values or predictive of future results or values, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those suggested by the analyses. In addition, analyses relating to the value of businesses or securities do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which businesses or securities actually may be sold. Accordingly, the estimates used in, and the results derived from, Marshall & Stevens’ analyses are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty.

Marshall & Stevens was not requested to, and it did not, recommend the specific consideration payable in the merger, which consideration was determined between Sizzle and European Lithium, and the decision to enter into the merger was solely that of the Board. Marshall & Stevens’ opinion and financial analyses were only one of many factors considered by the Sizzle board of directors in its evaluation of the merger and should not be viewed as determinative of the views of the Sizzle board of directors or Sizzle management with respect to the merger or the merger consideration.

Table of Contents

The following is a summary of the material financial analyses reviewed with the Board in connection with Marshall & Stevens’ opinion. The financial analyses summarized below include information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand Marshall & Stevens’ financial analyses, the tables must be read together with the text of each summary. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses. Considering the data in the tables below without considering the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of Marshall & Stevens’ financial analyses.

Fees Paid to Marshall & Stevens

Marshall & Stevens was engaged on a fixed fee basis and their compensation was not contingent upon the completion of the transaction. Marshall & Stevens provided no additional services associated with the transaction and has provided no services for the Sponsor.

Financial Projections

Using financial projections provided by European Lithium’s management, Marshall & Stevens calculated the net present value of the unlevered, after-tax free cash flows that European Lithium’s business is forecasted to generate for the financial years 2023 through 2042. However, because this was forecast as the entire economic life of European Lithium’s single validated asset, no terminal year multiple and no growth rate were selected based on this ending date.

Enterprise Value

Marshall & Stevens’ valuations were conducted on an “enterprise value” basis, defined as the value of a 100 percent ownership interest in the company without consideration of debt or cash. .

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

The major inputs and assumptions used in Marshall & Stevens’s discounted cash flow method were as follows:

•        European Lithium provided a forecast through 2042 as the basis for the discounted cash flow analysis. The duration of the projections provided captures the entire economic life of European Lithium’s single validated asset. Due to this, no terminal year multiple or terminal growth rate were selected in the discounted cash flow analysis.

•        As of the valuation date, a blended spot price of Spodumene Concentrate of $5,500 per ton was selected by Marshall & Stevens as the main variable to net revenue.

•        A high and low weighted average cost of capital (WACC) range was used in Marshall & Stevens’s analysis and applied to debt free, after-tax cash flows. The high WACC was calculated to be 11.00 percent and was determined based upon a cost of equity of approximately 11.19 percent and an after-tax cost of debt of 4.75 percent. The low WACC indication was calculated to be 9.00 percent and was based on 46 published full feasibility reports with listed project discount rates for comparable single validated assets.

•        A cost of equity was determined using a 20-year U.S. Treasury Rate (4.25 percent), Equity Risk Premium of 6.22 percent (Kroll Cost of Capital Navigator 2022 (“KCOC”)), Re-levered Equity beta of 0.92 based upon the Guideline Companies discussed below, a size premium of 1.22 percent based upon KCOC data for the 8th decile, and a company specific risk premium of 0 percent based upon removal of discovery and exploration risk, and a single validated asset.

•        An after-tax cost of debt was determined using BBB rated bond yields (6.33 percent) and a corporate income tax rate of 25.0 percent.

•        The debt-to-capital ratio was estimated at 0.0 percent and the equity-to-capital ratio was estimated at 100.0 percent using input from the Guideline Companies discussed below.

•        European Lithium provided estimated capital expenditures and working capital requirements, which were assumed to be variable on the stage of the single validated asset.

Table of Contents

Marshall & Stevens performed a sensitivity analysis based on the high and low WACC rates of 11.0 and 9.0 percent, as described above. Based on the discounted cash flow analysis, the indicated enterprise value for European Lithium was estimated to be between $621,800,000 and $784,800,000.

Guideline Public Company Analysis

Marshall & Stevens reviewed and analyzed selected historical and projected information about European Lithium provided by European Lithium’s management and compared this information to certain financial information of seven publicly traded companies that Marshall & Stevens deemed to be reasonably comparable to European Lithium (each a “Guideline Company” and, collectively, the “Guideline Companies”). The initial Guideline Companies were provided by European Lithium, and Marshall & Stevens reviewed these Guideline Companies to determine the comparability to European Lithium. Marshall & Stevens also performed their own independent search for other Guideline Companies, but they did not find any other viable Guideline Companies aside from those provided by European Lithium. The criteria for selecting the Guideline Companies were mainly based upon each Guideline Company’s industry and business description.
