PRELIMINARY PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS
SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED
JANUARY 2, 2024

PROXY STATEMENT FOR EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS OF
NORTHERN REVIVAL ACQUISITION CORPORATION

AND PROSPECTUS FOR UP TO 29,106,623 ORDINARY SHARES OF
BRAIIN HOLDINGS LTD.

To the Shareholders of Northern Revival Acquisition Corporation:

You are cordially invited to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”) of Northern Revival Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company, which we refer to as “Northern Revival,” “we,” “us” or “our”, to be held at _____________ and virtually at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on            , 2024. The Extraordinary General 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 1, 2023, we entered into an Amended and Restated Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) by and among Northern Revival, Northern Revival Sponsor LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), Braiin Limited, an Australian public company limited by shares (“Braiin”), Braiin Holdings Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“PubCo”) and wholly owned subsidiary of Northern Revival, and certain Braiin shareholders (the “Braiin Supporting Shareholders”) who collectively own 100% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Braiin (the “Braiin Shares”). Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, a business combination between Northern Revival and Braiin (the “Business Combination”) will be effected in two steps: (i) subject to the approval and adoption of the Business Combination Agreement by the shareholders of Northern Revival, Northern Revival will merge with and into PubCo and wholly owned subsidiary of Northern Revival with PubCo remaining as the surviving publicly traded entity (the “Initial Merger”); and (ii) a share exchange in which Braiin shareholders exchange 100% of their Braiin Shares for a pro rata portion of Ordinary Shares, par value $1.00 per share, of PubCo (the “PubCo Ordinary Shares”) with an aggregate value of $572 million (the “Share Exchange”). The number of shares to be issued by PubCo will be based upon a per share value of $10.00. The aggregate value is subject to adjustment up or down based upon certain indebtedness and cash on hand of Braiin prior to Closing. Prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, Braiin will acquire PowerTec Holdings Ltd., an Australian distributor that supplies connectivity solutions to individuals and businesses around the world (“PowerTec”) and Vega Global Technologies Pty Ltd., an Australian agricultural technology company (“Vega”). Following the Share Exchange, Braiin will continue as a subsidiary of PubCo. We refer to PubCo after giving effect to the Business Combination, as “New Braiin.”

The Business Combination Agreement provides that:

(i)     prior to the effective time of the Business Combination (the “Effective Time”), each convertible note and simple agreement for future equity of Braiin and Braiin Shares issuable as consideration for Braiin’s purchase of PowerTec (which will not exceed 9.9% of the total outstanding PubCo ordinary shares following the Business Combination (the “PubCo Ordinary Shares”)) and approximately [•] Braiin Shares issuable as consideration for Braiin’s purchase of Vega (which will not exceed 9.9% of the total number of PubCo Ordinary Shares), will convert into Braiin Shares in accordance with the agreements governing such securities;

(ii)    prior to the Effective Time, Northern Revival will merge with and into PubCo, with PubCo remaining as the surviving publicly traded entity;

(iii)   at the Effective Time, each outstanding Braiin Share will be exchanged for a pro rata portion of PubCo Ordinary Shares; and

(iv)   at the Closing, PubCo will pay the Sponsor $2.5 million to purchase all outstanding PubCo warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”), originally purchased by the Sponsor for approximately $6.8 million simultaneously with the closing of Northern Revival’s initial public offering (“IPO”).

At the Extraordinary General Meeting, our shareholders 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 Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which is attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as

 

Table of Contents

Annex A, which, among other things, provides for the Initial Merger and the Share Exchange, with Braiin becoming a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo, and (b) approving the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and related agreements described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus (which we collectively refer to as the “Business Combination Proposal”);

        Proposal No. 2 — The PubCo Charter Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve each material difference between the proposed Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of PubCo (the “Proposed PubCo Charter”), a copy of which is attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B, and Northern Revival’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (which we refer to as the “PubCo Charter Proposal”);

        Proposal No. 3 — The Incentive Plan Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Braiin Holdings 2024 Incentive Award 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 that will be attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus in an amendment (which we refer to as the “Incentive Plan Proposal”);

        Proposal No. 4 — The Adjournment Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to adjourn the Extraordinary General 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 Extraordinary General Meeting (which we refer to as the “Adjournment Proposal”).

Each of the Business Combination Proposal, the PubCo Charter Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal is cross-conditioned on the approval of each other. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal set forth in the accompanying 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 Business Combination 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 (as defined herein), together with the cash on Northern Revival’s balance sheet and the aggregate amount of gross proceeds from any subscription or investment agreement with respect to securities of PubCo or Northern Revival, entered into prior to Closing, of at least $15 million, after giving effect to the completion and payment of any Redemptions and after payment of transaction expenses.

If the Northern Revival shareholders approve the Business Combination Proposal, immediately prior to the consummation of the Initial Merger, all outstanding units of Northern Revival (each of which consists of one Northern Revival ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (“Northern Revival Ordinary Shares”), and one-third of one warrant to purchase one Northern Revival Ordinary Share) will separate into their individual components of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares and Northern Revival Warrants and will cease separate existence and trading. Upon the consummation of the Initial Merger, the current equity holdings of the Northern Revival shareholders shall be exchanged as follows:

(i)     Each Northern Revival Ordinary Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Initial Merger (other than any redeemed shares), will automatically be cancelled and cease to exist and for each such Northern Revival Ordinary Share, PubCo shall issue to each Northern Revival shareholder (other than the Northern Revival shareholders who exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination) one validly issued PubCo Ordinary Share, which, shall be fully paid; and

(ii)    Each whole warrant to purchase one Northern Revival Ordinary Share (“Northern Revival Warrant”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Initial Merger will convert into a warrant to purchase one PubCo Ordinary Share (each, a “PubCo Warrant”) (or equivalent portion thereof). The PubCo Warrants will have substantially the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Northern Revival Warrants.

 

Table of Contents

The Northern Revival Units, Ordinary Shares and Northern Revival Warrants are currently listed on Nasdaq under the symbols “NRACU,” “NRAC” and “NRACW,” respectively. PubCo has applied to list the PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols, “[ ]” and “[ ]W,” respectively, in connection with the Business Combination. Northern Revival cannot assure that PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants will be approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Investing in PubCo securities involves a high degree of risk. We encourage you to read the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus carefully. In particular, you should review the matters discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” beginning on page 23.

Although PubCo is not currently a public reporting company in any jurisdiction, following the effectiveness of the registration statement of which the accompanying 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”). 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 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 23 of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for more information.

The Board of Directors of Northern Revival (the “Board” or the “Northern Revival Board”) has fixed the close of business on            , 2024 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Extraordinary General Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof. Shareholders should carefully read the accompanying Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting and proxy statement/prospectus for a more complete statement of the proposals to be considered at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

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

The Board recommends that the shareholders vote “FOR” each of the proposals described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

The accompanying proxy statement/prospectus provides you with detailed information about the Business Combination and other matters to be considered at the Extraordinary General 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 Northern Revival’s 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 shareholder of Northern Revival. 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 shareholders of Northern Revival than liquidating Northern Revival. In addition, you should carefully consider the matters discussed under “Risk Factors” beginning on page 23 of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Northern Revival’s Directors and Officers and Others in the Business Combination” for additional information.

Pursuant to Northern Revival’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, our public shareholders have redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination. Our public shareholders are not required to affirmatively vote for or against the Business Combination to redeem their ordinary shares. This means that public shareholders who hold Northern Revival Ordinary Shares on or before            , 2024 (two (2) business days before the Extraordinary General Meeting) will be eligible to elect to have their Northern Revival Ordinary Shares redeemed for cash in connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting, whether or not they are holders as of the Record Date, and whether or not such shares are voted at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Northern Revival public shareholders should carefully refer to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for the requirements and procedures of redemption.

 

Table of Contents

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. Non-redeeming Northern Revival 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 the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus and accompanying proxy card to our shareholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the Extraordinary General Meeting and at any adjournments or postponements of the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Your vote is very important. If you are a Northern Revival shareholder, whether or not you plan to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting, please take the time to vote as soon as possible. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank you for your support and look forward to the successful completion of the Business Combination.

Very truly yours,

   

 

   

Aemish Shah
Chief Executive Officer and Chairman

Each of these Proposals are cross-conditioned on each other.

Unless waived in accordance with the Business Combination 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 Northern Revival’s balance sheet and the aggregate amount of gross proceeds from any subscription or investment agreement with respect to securities of PubCo or Northern Revival, entered into prior to Closing, of at least $15 million, after giving effect to the completion and payment of any redemptions and after payment of transaction expenses.

 

Table of Contents

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 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares at the close of business on            , 2024 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of the Extraordinary General Meeting and to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the Extraordinary General Meeting.

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

Pursuant to Northern Revival’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, its public shareholders may demand that Northern Revival redeem, upon the Closing of the Business Combination, Northern Revival Ordinary Shares 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 Northern Revival’s IPO. As of [•], 2024, based on funds in the Trust Account of approximately $[•] on such date, the pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account for the redemption of public Northern Revival Ordinary Shares was approximately $[•] per share (less taxes paid or payable). Our public shareholders are not required to affirmatively vote for or against the Business Combination in order to redeem their Northern Revival Ordinary Shares for cash. This means that public shareholders who hold Northern Revival Ordinary Shares on or before            , 2024 (two (2) business days before the Extraordinary General Meeting) will be eligible to elect to have their Northern Revival Ordinary Shares redeemed for cash in connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting, whether or not they are holders as of the Record Date, and whether or not such shares are voted at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Northern Revival shareholders should carefully refer to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for the requirements and procedures of redemption. Holders of Northern Revival Warrants do not have redemption rights with respect to such securities in connection with the Business Combination.

Our sponsor, Northern Revival Sponsor, LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (our “Sponsor”), and holders of our Ordinary Shares issued prior to our IPO, their permitted transferees, and our officers and directors (collectively, the “Northern Revival Initial Shareholders”) have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Northern Revival Ordinary Shares held by them in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination (which waiver was provided in connection with Northern Revival’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 Northern Revival Initial Shareholders beneficially own 75.96% of issued and outstanding Northern Revival Ordinary Shares and Northern Revival’s public shareholders beneficially own approximately 24.04% of issued and outstanding Northern Revival Ordinary Shares. The Northern Revival Initial Shareholders have agreed to vote all of their shares and any other Northern Revival equity securities that they hold in favor of the Business Combination Proposal.

You are urged to carefully read and consider the “Risk Factors” beginning on page 23 of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus and the other information contained in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus in its entirety, including the Annexes and accompanying financial statements.

Your vote is very important.    Whether or not you plan to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting, please vote as soon as possible by following the instructions in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus to ensure that your shares are represented at the Extraordinary General Meeting. If you sign, date and return your proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your proxy will be voted “FOR” each of the proposals presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you will need to follow the instructions provided to you by your bank, broker or other nominee to ensure that votes relating to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted.

Braiin’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”).

Table of Contents

RISK FACTOR SUMMARY

Braiin’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 Braiin’s or Northern Revival’s control and will be beyond the control of PubCo. You should carefully consider and evaluate all of the risks and uncertainties with respect to any investment in the securities of PubCo, including, but not limited to, the following and those discussed under “Risk Factors.

Risks Relating to Braiin’s Business

        If Braiin does not effectively manage its growth and the associated demands on its operational, risk management, sales and marketing, technology, compliance and finance and accounting resources, its business may be adversely impacted.

        Braiin’s future growth depends significantly on its marketing efforts, and if its marketing efforts are not successful, its business and results of operations will be harmed.

        Adverse economic conditions may adversely affect Braiin’s business.

        Braiin may be adversely affected by natural disasters, pandemics, and other catastrophic events, and by man-made problems such as war or terrorism, that could disrupt its business operations, and its business continuity and disaster recovery plans may not adequately protect Braiin from a serious disaster.

        Escalating global tensions, including the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, could negatively impact Braiin.

        Acquisitions, joint ventures or other strategic transactions create certain risks and may adversely affect Braiin’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

Risk Related to the Agricultural Industry

        The overall agricultural industry is susceptible to commodity and raw material price changes.

        Any decline in agricultural production could have a material adverse effect on the market for our services and on our results of operations and financial position.

        We may have product liability claims if our agricultural products damage individuals or property and may need to recall items which do or could cause such damage.

        Compliance with, or violation of, environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, including laws pertaining to the use of pesticides, could result in significant costs that adversely impact our reputation, businesses, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Risks Related to the Technology Industry

        If we are unable to develop and release technology enhancements and new technologies to respond to rapid technological change, or to develop new designs and technologies for our unmanned aerial vehicles (“UAVs”) in a timely and cost-effective manner, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed.

Braiin faces both external and internal cybersecurity threats.

Braiin’s vulnerability assessment focuses and mitigation strategies may not be effective.

Table of Contents

Risks Related to Braiin’s Intellectual Property

        Braiin’s intellectual property rights are valuable, and any inability to protect them could adversely impact Braiin’s business, operating results, and financial condition.

        In the future Braiin may be sued by third parties for alleged infringement of their proprietary rights.

        If Braiin fails to protect its intellectual property rights, it could lose its ability to compete in the marketplace.

        Other companies may claim that Braiin infringes their intellectual property, which could materially increase our costs and harm Braiin’s ability to generate future revenue and profit.

Risks Related to Legal, Compliance and Regulations

        Braiin is subject to governmental export and import controls that could impair its ability to compete in international markets due to licensing requirements and subject Braiin to liability if it is not in compliance with applicable laws.

        Braiin is subject to anti-corruption and anti-money laundering laws with respect to both its domestic and international operations, and non-compliance with such laws can subject Braiin to criminal and civil liability and harm its business.

Risks Related to Australia

        As a foreign private issuer, PubCo will be exempt from a number of rules under the Exchange Act, PubCo will be permitted to file less information with the SEC than domestic companies and permitted to follow home country practice in lieu of the listing requirements of Nasdaq, subject to certain exceptions. Accordingly, there may be less publicly available information concerning PubCo than there is for issuers that are not foreign private issuers.

        It may be difficult to enforce a judgment in the United States against PubCo and its officers and directors, assert U.S. securities laws claims in Australia or serve process on PubCo’s officers and directors.

        Braiin may be affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

Risks Relating to Northern Revival, PubCo and the Business Combination

        If Northern Revival does not consummate a business combination by the termination date of February 4, 2024 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Northern Revival Memorandum and Articles of Association), Northern Revival will have to liquidate, or seek approval of its shareholders 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.

        Northern Revival will incur significant costs in connection with the Business Combination and if not consummated, Northern Revival 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.

xi

Table of Contents

        The Sponsor and Northern Revival’s directors and officers, have conflicts of interest in determining to pursue the Business Combination with Braiin.

        There are risks to unaffiliated shareholders who become shareholders of PubCo through the Business Combination rather than acquiring securities of Braiin or Braiin 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 Braiin’s existing executive officers, directors and their affiliates may prevent new investors from influencing significant corporate decisions.

        There can be no assurance that the 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 Northern Revival’s strategic plan could be negatively impacted by redemptions.

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

        The Sponsor and Northern Revival’s directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may elect to purchase Northern Revival Ordinary Shares from Northern Revival’s shareholders, which may influence a vote on a proposed business combination and reduce the public float of Northern Revival’s capital stock.

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

Risks Related to Ownership of PubCo Ordinary Shares

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

        Shareholders’ ownership may be diluted by the issuance of additional shares.

Risks Related to Redemption

        The amount of redemptions by Northern Revival’s shareholders is unknown and a significant amount of redemptions may harm our future economic position.

Table of Contents

Q:     Are the proposals conditioned on one another?

A:     Yes. We refer to the Business Combination Proposal, the PubCo Charter Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal as “Condition Precedent Proposals”. The Business Combination is conditioned on the approval of each of the Condition Precedent Proposals at the Extraordinary General Meeting. The Condition Precedent Proposals are each conditioned on each other.

The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus.

A:     The Business Combination Agreement provides that:

(i)     At the closing of the Initial Merger, Northern Revival will merge with and into PubCo, with PubCo as the surviving publicly traded entity;

(ii)    Immediately prior to the effective time of the Initial Merger, the outstanding publicly traded units of Northern Revival will be separated into their component securities, consisting of (a) one Northern Revival Class A Ordinary Share and (b) one-third of one Northern Revival Warrant (each of which shall be exchanged for an equal number of PubCo Ordinary Shares and Warrants).

A:     Under the Northern Revival Memorandum and Articles of Association, Northern Revival must provide all holders of its public shares with the opportunity to have their public shares redeemed upon the consummation of Northern Revival’s initial business combination either in conjunction with a tender offer or in conjunction with a shareholder vote. Additionally, obtaining the vote of the shareholders of Northern Revival is a condition to closing under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement.

Table of Contents

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

A:     Northern Revival shareholders are entitled to one vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting for each Northern Revival Ordinary Share held of record as of            , 2024, the Record Date for the Extraordinary General Meeting. As of            , 2024 there were issued and outstanding 1,910,244 public Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, and 6,037,500 founders shares held by the Sponsor and Northern Revival officers and directors. The founder shares may be voted by the Sponsor, or its permitted transferees, at the Extraordinary General Meeting (unless otherwise agreed by the Sponsor).

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

A:     The approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, PubCo Charter Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Northern Revival Ordinary Shares as of the Record Date. Accordingly, a Northern Revival shareholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Extraordinary General Meeting or an abstention will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal, the PubCo Charter Proposal or the PubCo Charter Proposal because an absolute percentage of affirmative votes is required to approve these proposals, regardless of how many votes are cast.

In contrast, approval of the remaining Proposals, in each case require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares cast by the shareholders represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Accordingly, a Northern Revival shareholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Extraordinary General Meeting will not be counted towards the number of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares 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 Northern Revival Initial Shareholders, which includes our Sponsor and our directors and officers, have agreed to vote all of their founder shares and any Northern Revival equity securities that they hold in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. As a result, assuming there is a quorum at the Extraordinary General Meeting, we may not need any of our 1,910,244 public shares, to be voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal, the PubCo Charter Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal.

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

A:     Our public shareholders 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 shareholders are reduced as a result of redemptions by holders of our public shares.

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

A:     Yes. Northern Revival’s Board obtained an opinion from Trafalgar Advisors, dated September 28, 2023.

Please see the section entitled “Opinion of Financial Advisor” and the opinion of Trafalgar Advisors attached hereto as Annex C for additional information.

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

A:     In connection with the shareholder vote to approve Proposal 1 (the Business Combination Proposal) and the other proposals Northern Revival and its affiliates may purchase shares prior to the Closing from shareholders who would have otherwise elected to have their shares redeemed for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account upon consummation of the Business Combination. Such a purchase would be conducted in a privately negotiated purchase arrangement and include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record holder of such shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. While they have no current plans to do so, the Sponsor, Northern Revival’s directors, officers or advisors, or their affiliates reserve the right to purchase shares from holders of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, in which event such selling shareholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. Any such transaction would be separately negotiated at the time of the transaction. The consideration for any such transaction would consist of cash and/or Northern Revival Ordinary Shares owned by the Sponsor and/or Northern Revival’s directors, officers, advisors, or their affiliates. The purpose of these purchases would be to increase the amount of cash available to Northern Revival for use in the Business Combination. None of Northern Revival, the Sponsor or Northern Revival’s directors, officers or advisors, or their respective affiliates, will make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller. Any Northern Revival Ordinary Shares purchased by the Sponsor or Northern Revival’s directors, officers or advisors, or their respective affiliates will not (i) be purchased at a price higher than the price offered through the redemption process in the Redemption, (ii) be voted in favor of the Business Combination or (iii) have redemption rights, and if such Northern Revival Ordinary shares do have redemption rights then such rights will be waived by the purchaser.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there have been no such discussions and no agreements to such effect have been entered into with any such investor or holder. If such arrangements or agreements are entered into, Northern Revival will file a Current Report on Form 8-K prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting to disclose any arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons. Any such report will include (i) the amount of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares purchased and the purchase price; (ii) the purpose of such purchases; (iii) the impact of such purchases on the likelihood that the Business Combination transaction will be approved; (iv) the identities or characteristics of security holders who sold shares if not purchased in the open market or the nature of the sellers; and (v) the number of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares for which Northern Revival has received redemption requests.

Unlike our Sponsor’s and Northern Revival Initial Shareholders’ 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 (as defined below). However, these newly purchased shares would be subject to limitations on resale under Rule 144 of the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) as “control securities,” to the extent those shares were acquired by an affiliate of Northern Revival, 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 Braiin 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 Braiin 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 Extraordinary General Meeting?

A:     The presence, in person or by proxy, at the Extraordinary General Meeting of the holders of outstanding shares of Northern Revival representing a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of Northern Revival entitled to vote at such meeting shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. In the absence of a

xvi

Table of Contents

quorum, the chairman of the meeting has the power to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting. As of the Record Date, 3,973,873 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares would be required to achieve a quorum assuming Northern Revival has 7,947,744 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding.

Q:     What equity stake will current shareholders of Northern Revival hold in PubCo after the Closing?

A:     A. The following table sets forth the ownership percentages of PubCo upon completion of the Business Combination assuming no redemptions and maximum redemptions. Except as set forth below, the ownership percentages reflected in the table are based upon the number of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares Common outstanding as of September 30, 2023 and with respect to Braiin, the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares to be issued is calculated based on the equity value of $572 million less indebtedness of Braiin as of June 30, 2023 and plus cash on hand as of that date.

Q:     What are the effective underwriting fees on a percentage basis for Northern Revival Ordinary Shares based on the level of redemptions?

A:     Approximately $9.1 million of deferred underwriting fees related to the IPO was conditioned upon completion of an initial business combination by Northern Revival, which fees would not have been impacted by the size of such transaction or the level of redemptions associated therewith. However, in September 2023, Oppenheimer, Stifel and William Blair resigned from their role as financial advisors to PubCo in connection with the business combination and voluntarily waived any claims to the underwriters fee in connection with the IPO and the fees previously owed to such financial advisor will not be paid or reallocated to any other advisor.

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

A:     Our Sponsor together with our Initial Shareholders including our directors and officers currently own 6,037,500 founders share equal to 75.96% of the issued and outstanding Northern Revival Ordinary Shares. The Northern Revival Initial Shareholders, which includes our Sponsor and our directors and officers, have agreed to vote all of their founder shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. As a result,

xvii

Table of Contents

assuming there is a quorum at the Extraordinary General Meeting, we may not need any of our 1,910,244 public shares, to be voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal, the PubCo Charter Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal.

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

A:     The Sponsor, members of Northern Revival’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 interests as a shareholder. These interests include, among other things:

        If we do not consummate an initial business combination by February 4, 2024, the 6,037,499 Class A ordinary shares and one Class B ordinary share held by the sponsor will be worthless (as the Sponsor has waived liquidation rights with respect to such shares). Northern Revival and the Sponsor have agreed that the Sponsor will forfeit 1,500,000 founders shares in connection with the Closing leaving 4,537,500 founders shares at Closing. Based on the price of the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares as of December 1, 2023 of $10.84, these shares have a value of $49,186,500 as compared to the original purchase price of $25,000.

        If we do not consummate an initial business combination by February 4, 2024, the 4,553,334 private placement warrants will be worthless. Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, at the Closing, those warrants will be cancelled in exchange for a payment to the Sponsor of $2,500,000 as compared to the original purchase price of $6,830,001.

        In connection with the IPO, the sponsor agreed that it will be liable under certain circumstances to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of any third party for services rendered or products sold to Northern Revival or prospective target businesses with which Northern Revival has entered into certain agreements;

        All rights specified in the charter relating to the right of officers and directors to be indemnified by Northern Revival, and of Northern Revival’s officers and directors to be exculpated from monetary liability with respect to prior acts or omissions, will continue after an initial business combination and, if no initial business combination is completed by February 4, 2024, so that Northern Revival liquidates, Northern Revival will not be able to perform its obligations to its officers and directors under those provisions;

        None of Northern Revival’s officers or directors has received any cash compensation for services rendered to Northern Revival, and all of the current officers and directors are expected to continue to serve in their roles at least through the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting and may continue to serve following any potential initial business combination and receive compensation thereafter; and

        The sponsor and Northern Revival’s officers and directors and their respective affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them related to identifying, investigating, negotiating and completing an initial business combination and, if we do not consummate an initial business combination by February 4, 2024, they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement so that Northern Revival will most likely be unable to reimburse such expenses.

In light of the foregoing, the Sponsor and Northern Revival’s directors and executive officers will receive material benefits from the completion of the Business Combination and may be incentivized to complete the Business Combination with Braiin rather than liquidate even if (i) Braiin is a less favorable company or (ii) the terms of the Business Combination are less favorable to stockholders. As a result, the Sponsor and Northern Revival’s directors and officers may have interests in the completion of the Business Combination that are materially different than, and may conflict with, the interests of other stockholders.

Northern Revival’s Board was aware of and considered these interests and facts, among other matters, in evaluating and unanimously approving the Business Combination and in recommending to Northern Revival’s stockholders that they approve the Business Combination.

Q:     What happens if I sell my Northern Revival Ordinary Shares before the Extraordinary General Meeting?

A:     The Record Date is earlier than the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting. If you transfer your Northern Revival Ordinary Shares after the Record Date, but before the Extraordinary General Meeting, unless the transferee obtains from you a proxy to vote those shares, you will retain your right to vote at the Extraordinary General 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 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares prior to the Record Date, you will have no right to vote those shares at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

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

A:     Pursuant to the Northern Revival Memorandum and Articles of Association, if the Business Combination Proposal is not approved and Northern Revival does not otherwise consummate an alternative business combination by February 4, 2024 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Northern Revival Memorandum and Articles of Association), Northern Revival will be required to dissolve and liquidate its Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the public shareholders.

Q:     Do I have redemption rights?

A:     Pursuant to the Northern Revival Memorandum and Articles of Association, 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 Northern Revival Memorandum and Articles of Association. As of [•], 2024, based on funds in the Trust Account of approximately $[•] on such date, the pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account for the redemption of public Northern Revival Ordinary Shares was approximately $[•] per share (less taxes paid or payable). If a holder exercises its redemption rights, then such holder will be exchanging its Northern Revival Ordinary Shares for cash. Such a holder will be entitled to receive cash for its public shares only if it properly demands redemption and delivers its shares (either physically or electronically) to Northern Revival’s transfer agent prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting. See the question titled “How do I exercise my redemption rights?” below and the section titled “Extraordinary General Meeting of Northern Revival Shareholders — Redemption Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your public shares for cash.

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

Holders of our public shares who also hold Northern Revival Warrants may elect to redeem their public shares, and still retain their Northern Revival Warrants. The value of our Northern Revival Warrants based on the trading price as of [•], 2024 was $[•]. Public shareholders who redeem their Northern Revival Ordinary Shares may continue to hold any Northern Revival Warrants that they owned prior to redemption, which results in additional dilution to non-redeeming holders upon exercise of such Northern Revival Warrants, if despite such redemptions, the Business Combination was consummated. Up to 8,050,000 publicly traded Northern Revival Warrants would be retained by holders of Northern Revival 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 Northern Revival Warrants following the Closing) with an aggregate market value of $[•], based on the market price of $[•] per Northern Revival Warrant as of [•], 2024.

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 Northern Revival Warrants. For more information see “Risk Factors — Holders of Northern Revival Warrants may elect to redeem their public shares while retaining their Northern Revival Warrants, although if redemptions exceed the threshold allowable for us to consummate the Business Combination, the Northern Revival Warrants will expire worthless.”

xix

Table of Contents

For information about the per share value of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares given different levels of redemptions, see “Questions and Answers — What equity stake will current shareholders of Northern Revival hold in Braiin 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 Northern Revival Warrants are only exercisable 30 days following a business combination, if we do not consummate a business combination by February 4, 2024 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Northern Revival Memorandum and Articles of Association), and we are required to liquidate, your Northern Revival 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 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares at the Extraordinary General 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 Business Combination Agreement can be approved by shareholders who will redeem their shares and no longer remain shareholders, leaving shareholders who choose not to redeem their shares holding shares in a company with a potentially less liquid trading market, fewer shareholders, 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            , 2024 (two (2) business days before the Extraordinary General 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 & Company (“Continental”), our transfer agent, at the following address:

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
1 State Street, 30th Floor
New York, NY 10004
Email: mzimkind@continentalstock.com

Shareholders 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 Northern Revival’s understanding that shareholders should generally allot at least two (2) weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, Northern Revival does not have any control over this process and it may take longer than two weeks. Shareholders 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 Closing of 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 U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising my redemption rights?

A:     In the event that a U.S. Holder (as defined below) elects to redeem its Northern Revival Ordinary Shares for cash, the treatment of the transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as sale or exchange of the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares under Section 302 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) or is treated as a distribution under Section 301 of the Code and whether Northern Revival would be characterized as a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”). Whether the redemption qualifies as a sale or exchange or is treated as a distribution will depend on the facts and circumstances of each particular U.S. Holder at the time such holder exercises his, her, or its redemption rights. If the redemption qualifies as a sale or exchange of the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, the U.S. Holder will be treated as recognizing capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the redemption and such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares surrendered in such redemption transaction. Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares redeemed exceeds one year.

xx

Table of Contents

Subject to the PFIC rules, long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders (as defined below) will be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. However, it is unclear whether the redemption rights with respect to the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares may prevent a U.S. Holder from satisfying the applicable holding period requirements. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders will be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. See the section titled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of Exercising Redemption Rights” for a more detailed discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of a U.S. Holder electing to redeem its Northern Revival Ordinary Shares for cash, including with respect to Northern Revival’s potential PFIC status and certain tax implications thereof.

Additionally, because the Initial Merger will occur prior to the redemption by U.S. Holders that exercise redemption rights with respect to Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, U.S. Holders exercising such redemption rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of section 367(a) of the Code and the PFIC rules. The tax consequences of the exercise of redemption rights, including pursuant to Section 367(a) of the Code and the PFIC rules, are discussed more fully below under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders of Exercising Redemption Rights.” All holders of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares considering exercising their redemption rights are urged to consult their tax advisor on the tax consequences to them of an exercise of redemption rights, including the applicability and effect of U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income and other tax laws.

Q:     Will holders of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares or Northern Revival Warrants be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Warrants received in the Initial Merger?

A:     Subject to the limitations and qualifications described in “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” including the application of the PFIC rules, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Initial Merger to U.S. Holders of Northern Revival securities (as defined below) will depend, in part, on whether the Initial Merger qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code.

The rules under Section 368 of the Code, however, are complex and qualification for such treatment could be adversely affected by events or actions that occur following the Business Combination that are out of Northern Revival’s control.

Moreover, Section 367(a) of the Code may apply to the Initial Merger if PubCo transfers the assets it acquires from Northern Revival pursuant to the Initial Merger to certain subsidiary corporations in connection with the Business Combination. Section 367(a) of the Code, and the applicable Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, would only apply to U.S. Holders who would be treated as a “five-percent transferee shareholder” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-3(c)(5)(ii)) of PubCo following the Business Combination (a “5 Percent Holder”) who do not enter into a five-year gain recognition agreement in the form provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-8 (“GRA”), and would cause the Initial Merger to result in gain recognition (but not loss) by such 5 Percent Holders. The requirements under Section 367(a) are not discussed herein. There are significant factual and legal uncertainties concerning the determination of whether these requirements will be satisfied and there is limited guidance as to their application, particularly with regard to indirect stock transfers in cross-border reorganizations.

If the Initial Merger does not qualify as a “reorganization”, then a U.S. Holder that exchanges its Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, or Northern Revival Warrants for the consideration under the Initial Merger will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between (i) the fair market value of the PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants received and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, and Northern Revival Warrants exchanged. For a more detailed discussion of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Initial Merger, see the section titled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Initial Merger to U.S. Holders” in this proxy statement/prospectus. Holders should consult their own tax advisors to determine the tax consequences to them (including the application and effect of any state, local or other income and other tax laws) of the Initial Merger.

Table of Contents

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

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

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

A:     Northern Revival shareholders are entitled to give notice to Northern Revival prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting that they wish to dissent to the Business Combination to the effect of which would be that such dissenting shareholders would be entitled to the payment of fair market value of his or her shares of Northern Revival if they follow the procedures set out in the Companies Act. It is Northern Revival’s view that such fair market value would equal the amount which Northern Revival shareholders would obtain if they exercise their redemption rights as described herein.

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:

        Northern Revival shareholders who properly exercise their redemption rights;

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

        any loans owed by Northern Revival to its Sponsor for any Northern Revival transaction expenses or other administrative expenses incurred by Northern Revival; 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 Business Combination Agreement may be terminated. See the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal — Business Combination Agreement” for information regarding the parties’ specific termination rights.

If, as a result of the termination of the Business Combination Agreement or otherwise, Northern Revival is unable to complete the Business Combination or another initial business combination transaction by February 4, 2024 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Northern Revival Memorandum and Articles of Association), the Northern Revival Memorandum and Articles of Association 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 Northern Revival 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 shareholders’ rights as shareholders (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 shareholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Holders of founder shares have waived any right to those shares.

In the event of liquidation, there will be no distribution with respect to Northern Revival’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 as soon as reasonably practicable after the Extraordinary General Meeting

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

xxii

Table of Contents

Q:     What will Northern Revival shareholders receive in the Business Combination?

A:     Upon completion of the Business Combination, 100% of the outstanding Northern Revival Ordinary Shares (other than those the holders of which have sought redemption) will be exchanged for PubCo Ordinary Shares.

Q:     If I am a Northern Revival 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 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares 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 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares?

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

Q:     How much cash will be available to PubCo following the closing of the Business Combination, assuming maximum and no 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 $8.8 million of cash from the Trust Account, after payment of estimated expenses and assuming no redemptions are made by Northern Revival public shareholders prior to the closing of the Business Combination, or approximately $8.8 million of cash from the Trust Account, after payment of estimated expenses, and assuming that the maximum amount of redemptions are made by Northern Revival public shareholders (assuming that such redemptions will be in an amount that satisfies the minimum cash condition) prior to the closing of the Business Combination. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the parties to the Business Combination Agreement intend to obtain additional financing with respect to PubCo. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus 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 Business Combination Agreement).

The Sponsor has made certain commitments regarding funding of Northern Revival. The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to Northern Revival, if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to Northern Revival, or a prospective target business with which Northern Revival has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amounts in the Trust Account to below $10.00 per share 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 Northern Revival’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. Northern Revival 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 Northern Revival’s independent registered accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which Northern Revival does business, execute agreements with Northern Revival waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

In order to meet Northern Revival’s working capital needs, the Sponsor or its affiliates, or Northern Revival’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan Northern Revival 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 be evidenced by a promissory note. The notes would be paid upon

consummation of our initial business combination, without interest, If Northern Revival does not complete a business combination, Northern Revival 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 September 30, 2023. See “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions.”

Following the Business Combination, assuming no redemptions are made prior to the Closing, the Combined Company 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 shareholder. 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 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares on            , 2024, the Record Date, you may vote with respect to the Proposals in person at the Extraordinary General 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 Extraordinary General 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 Extraordinary General Meeting?

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

Abstentions will have no effect on the remaining Proposals in an Extraordinary General 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 Extraordinary General Meeting, because Northern Revival 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. At a meeting with a quorum, broker non-votes will have no effect on the vote on the remaining Proposals.

Table of Contents

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 Northern Revival without an indication of how the shareholder intends to vote on a proposal will be voted “FOR” each proposal presented to the shareholders. The proxyholders may use their discretion to vote on any other matters which properly come before the Extraordinary General Meeting.

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

A:     Yes. Whether you plan to attend the Extraordinary General 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. Northern Revival believes the proposals presented to the shareholders 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 Northern Revival’s secretary at the address listed below so that it is received by Northern Revival’s secretary prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting or virtually attend the Extraordinary General Meeting in person and vote. You also may revoke your proxy by sending a notice of revocation to Northern Revival’s secretary, which must be received by Northern Revival’s secretary prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting.

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

Northern Revival will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the Extraordinary General Meeting. Northern Revival has engaged Advantage Proxy, Inc. which we refer to as “Advantage Proxy,” to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Extraordinary General Meeting. Northern Revival has agreed to pay Advantage Proxy a fee of $10,000, plus disbursements. Northern Revival 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. Northern Revival will also reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners of the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares and in obtaining voting instructions from those owners. Northern Revival’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.

You are entitled to one vote for each share of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares 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 7,947,744 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding.

Registering for the Extraordinary General Meeting

Pre-registration for virtual attendance at the Extraordinary General Meeting is recommended but is not required in order to attend through the following website: [•]

Any shareholder wishing to attend the virtual meeting should register for the meeting by            , 2024. To register for the Extraordinary General Meeting, please follow these instructions as applicable to the nature of your ownership of our ordinary shares:

Just prior to the start of the meeting you will need to log back into the meeting site using your control number.

        Beneficial shareholders (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.

Quorum and Required Vote for Proposals for the Extraordinary General Meeting

A quorum of Northern Revival shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the Extraordinary General Meeting if a majority of the ordinary shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General 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 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding Northern Revival Ordinary Shares as of the Record Date. Accordingly, a Northern Revival shareholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Extraordinary General Meeting or an abstention will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal.

Table of Contents

The approval of the remaining Proposals (consisting of the PubCo Charter Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal) requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Accordingly, a Northern Revival shareholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Extraordinary General Meeting or the failure of a Northern Revival shareholder 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 shareholder’s shares not being counted towards the number of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares 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 PubCo Charter Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal. Abstentions of persons appearing at the Extraordinary General Meeting likewise will also have no effect on the outcome of these proposals.

The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement will be consummated only if the Condition Precedent Proposals (consisting of the Business Combination Proposal, the PubCo Charter Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal) are approved at the Extraordinary General Meeting. The Adjournment Proposal is not a Condition Precedent Proposal 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 4, 2024 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Northern Revival Memorandum and Articles of Association), we will be required to dissolve and liquidate our Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the public shareholders.

The Proposals

The Business Combination Proposal

On October 1, 2023, Northern Revival entered into the Amended and Restated Business Combination Agreement by and among Northern Revival, the Sponsor, PubCo, Braiin and certain Braiin shareholders.

The Business Combination Agreement provides that a business combination between Northern Revival and Braiin will be effected in two steps: (i) subject to the approval and adoption of the Business Combination Agreement by the shareholders of Northern Revival, Northern Revival and PubCo will consummate the Initial Merger; and (ii) following the Initial Merger, PubCo and Braiin’s shareholders will consummate the Share Exchange in which Braiin shareholders exchange 100% of their Braiin Shares for a pro rata portion of PubCo Shares with an aggregate value of $572 million. The number of shares to be issued will be based upon a per share value of $10.00. The aggregate value is subject to adjustment up or down based upon certain indebtedness and cash on hand of Braiin as of Closing. The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement we refer to herein as the “Business Combination.” A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A.

Share Exchange Consideration

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement:

(i)     prior to the Effective Time, each convertible note and simple agreement for future equity of Braiin, and Braiin Shares issuable as consideration for Braiin’s purchase of PowerTec (which will not exceed 9.9% of the total number of PubCo Ordinary Shares) and Braiin Shares issuable as consideration for Braiin’s purchase of Vega (which will not exceed 9.9% of the total number of PubCo Ordinary Shares), will convert into Braiin Shares in accordance with the agreements governing such securities;

(ii)    Braiin shareholders will exchange 100% of their Braiin Shares for a pro rata portion of PubCo Ordinary Shares with an aggregate value of $572 million (the “Share Exchange”). The number of shares to be issued will be based upon a per share value of $10.00; and

(iii)   PubCo will pay the Sponsor $2.5 million to purchase all outstanding Northern Revival Private Placement Warrants originally purchased by the Sponsor for approximately $6.8 million.

4

Table of Contents

As Northern Revival does not, and PubCo will not, have any outstanding preference shares, and is anticipated to have no outstanding preference shares at the Effective Time, no exchange of preference shares is expected to occur at the Effective Time.

Closing Conditions and Termination Rights

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

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

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

The PubCo Charter Proposal

Assuming the Business Combination Proposal is approved, in connection with the Business Combination, Northern Revival is proposing that its shareholders approve each material difference between the proposed Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of PubCo (the “Proposed PubCo Charter”), a copy of which is attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B, and Northern Revival’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association.

The Incentive Plan Proposal

Northern Revival is asking its shareholders to approve the Incentive Plan, including the authorization of the share reserve under the Incentive Plan equal to ten percent (10%) 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 Braiin’s subsidiaries and affiliates.

A summary of the Incentive Plan will be set forth by amendment in the “Incentive Plan Proposal” section of this proxy statement/prospectus and a complete copy of the Incentive Plan will be attached to this proxy statement/prospectus by amendment.

The Adjournment Proposal

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

Fairness Opinion

In connection with its approval of the Business Combination and the Business Combination Agreement, the Board received the opinion of Trafalgar Advisors that the consideration to be paid was fair to shareholders from a financial point of view. A copy of this opinion is include as Annex C hereto. A summary of the analyses of Trafalgar in reaching this opinion, together with all assumptions related thereto is set forth in “The Business Combination Proposal — Opinion of Financial Advisor.”

Recommendation to Northern Revival Shareholders

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

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Northern Revival’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 Northern Revival and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, Northern Revival’s officers and directors have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled “— Interests of Northern Revival’s Directors and Officers and Others in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

Interests of Northern Revival’s Directors and Officers and Others 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 shareholder. These interests include, among other things:

        If we do not consummate an initial business combination by February 4, 2024, the 6,037,499 Class A ordinary shares and one Class B ordinary share held by the sponsor will be worthless (as the Sponsor has waived liquidation rights with respect to such shares). Northern Revival and the Sponsor have agreed that the Sponsor will forfeit 1,500,000 founders shares in connection with the Closing leaving 4,537,500 founders shares at Closing. Based on the price of the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares as of December 1, 2023 of $10.84, these shares have a value of $49,186,500 as compared to the original purchase price of $25,000.

        If we do not consummate an initial business combination by February 4, 2024, the 4,553,334 private placement warrants will be worthless. Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, at the Closing, those warrants will be cancelled in exchange for a payment to the Sponsor of $2,500,000.

        In connection with the IPO, the sponsor agreed that it will be liable under certain circumstances to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of any third party for services rendered or products sold to Northern Revival or prospective target businesses with which Northern Revival has entered into certain agreements;

        All rights specified in the charter relating to the right of officers and directors to be indemnified by Northern Revival, and of Northern Revival’s officers and directors to be exculpated from monetary liability with respect to prior acts or omissions, will continue after an initial business combination and, if no initial business combination is completed by February 4, 2024, so that Northern Revival liquidates, Northern Revival will not be able to perform its obligations to its officers and directors under those provisions;

        None of Northern Revival’s officers or directors has received any cash compensation for services rendered to Northern Revival, and all of the current officers and directors are expected to continue to serve in their roles at least through the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting and may continue to serve following any potential initial business combination and receive compensation thereafter; and

        The sponsor and Northern Revival’s officers and directors and their respective affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them related to identifying, investigating, negotiating and completing an initial business combination and, if we do not consummate an initial business combination by February 4, 2024, they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement so that Northern Revival will most likely be unable to reimburse such expenses.

In light of the foregoing, the Sponsor and Northern Revival’s directors and executive officers will receive material benefits from the completion of the Business Combination and may be incentivized to complete the Business Combination with Braiin rather than liquidate even if (i) Braiin is a less favorable company or (ii) the terms

of the Business Combination are less favorable to stockholders. As a result, the Sponsor and Northern Revival’s directors and officers may have interests in the completion of the Business Combination that are materially different than, and may conflict with, the interests of other stockholders.

Northern Revival’s Board was aware of and considered these interests and facts, among other matters, in evaluating and unanimously approving the Business Combination and in recommending to Northern Revival’s stockholders that they approve 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 Cayman Islands and applicable law. Given the substantial target universe considered by Northern Revival’s management team, Northern Revival’s Board did not believe that the other fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of Northern Revival’s officers and directors materially affected Northern Revival’s ability to source a potential business combination. Northern Revival’s Board considered the factors supporting, and risks and uncertainties related to, a business combination with Braiin as set forth above under “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus — Northern Revival Board’s Reasons for the Business Combination,” and did not believe that such other fiduciary duties or contractual obligations impacted such consideration.

Braiin Shareholder Approval

The approval of the Share Exchange as part of the Business Combination and related transactions by a unanimous vote of the shareholders of Braiin is a condition to consummation of the Business Combination, according to the Business Combination Agreement. This vote requires the affirmative votes of the holders of 100% of the Braiin 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 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares who do not redeem in connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting, you should consider carefully before making an investment decision.

Accounting Treatment for the Business Combination

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a capital reorganization. Under this method of accounting, Northern Revival will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Braiin issuing shares at the closing of the Business Combination for the net assets of Northern Revival as of the closing date, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Northern Revival will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Any excess of fair value of PubCo Ordinary Shares issued over the fair value of Northern Revival’s identifiable net assets acquired represents compensation for the service of a stock exchange listing for its shares and is expensed as incurred.

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.

Northern Revival Appraisal Rights

Northern Revival shareholders are entitled to give notice to Northern Revival prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting that they wish to dissent to the Business Combination to the effect of which would be that such dissenting shareholders would be entitled to the payment of fair market value of his or her shares of Northern

Table of Contents

Revival if they follow the procedures set out in the Companies Act. It is Northern Revival’s view that such fair market value would equal the amount which Northern Revival shareholders would obtain if they exercise their redemption rights as described herein.

Redemption Rights

In connection with the Business Combination, holders of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares may elect to have their shares redeemed for cash at the applicable redemption price per share calculated in accordance with the Northern Revival Memorandum and Articles of Association. As of [•], 2024, the pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account for the public shares was approximately $[•] per share (less taxes paid or payable). If a holder exercises its redemption rights, then such holder will be exchanging its Northern Revival Ordinary Shares for cash and will no longer own Northern Revival Ordinary Shares and will not participate as a future shareholder of the Combined Company. Our public shareholders are not required to affirmatively vote for or against the Business Combination in order to redeem their ordinary shares for cash. This means that public shareholders who hold Northern Revival Ordinary Shares on or before            , 2024 (two (2) business days before the Extraordinary General Meeting) will be eligible to elect to have their Northern Revival Ordinary Shares redeemed for cash in connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting, whether or not they are holders as of the Record Date, and whether or not such shares are voted at the Extraordinary General Meeting. To redeem their Northern Revival Ordinary Shares for cash, holders of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares must demand Northern Revival convert their public shares into cash and tender their shares to Northern Revival’s transfer agent in accordance with the procedures described herein. See the section entitled “Extraordinary General Meeting of Northern Revival Shareholders — Redemption Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your shares for cash.

The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement will be consummated only if the Condition Precedent Proposals (consisting of the Business Combination Proposal, the PubCo Charter Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal) are approved at the Extraordinary General Meeting. The Adjournment Proposal 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, all of which will be designated by Braiin. At least three directors 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

Introduction

PubCo is providing the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to aid in the analysis of the financial aspects of the Business Combination and related transactions. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents the combination of the financial information of Braiin and Northern Revival to give effect to the Business Combination and related transactions.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position as of June 30, 2023 combines the historical unaudited statement of financial position of Northern Revival as of June 30, 2023 and the historical audited statement of financial position of Braiin as of June 30, 2023 both sets of financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and on a pro forma basis as if the Business Combination and related transactions had been consummated on June 30, 2023.

The following unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the twelve months ended June 30, 2023 combines the historical audited consolidated statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income of Braiin for the twelve months ended June 30, 2023 included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and with Northern Revival’s unaudited financial results for the twelve months ended June 30, 2023. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations are prepared on basis as if the Business Combination and related transactions had been consummated on July 1, 2022.

Braiin and Northern Revival have different fiscal years. Braiin’s fiscal year ends on June 30, whereas Northern Revival’s fiscal year ends on December 31. Northern Revival’s unaudited financial results for the twelve months ended June 30, 2023 have been derived from (i) its unaudited statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and (ii) its audited statement of operations from January 1 to December 31, 2022 included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and removing its results of operations for the period from January 1 through June 30, 2022 derived from its unaudited statement of operations for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2022.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position and results of operations that would have been achieved had the Business Combination and related transactions occurred on the dates indicated. Further, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of the post-combination company. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors. The unaudited pro forma adjustments represent management’s estimates based on information available as of the date of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and is subject to change as additional information becomes available and analyses are performed. This information should be read together with Northern Revival’s and Braiin’s audited financial statements and related notes, as applicable, and the sections titled “Northern Revival’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Braiin’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and other financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Description of the Proposed Transactions

On March 20, 2023, Northern Revival, Braiin, PubCo and Northern Revival Sponsor LLC (Sponsor) entered into the Business Combination Agreement which was amended and restated in its entirety effective October 1, 2023. Pursuant to the terms, and subject to the conditions, contained in the Business Combination Agreement, the Parties to the Business Combination Agreement will affect the following transactions:

1.      Prior to the Closing, Northern Revival will merge with and into PubCo with PubCo surviving;

2.      At the Closing, PubCo shall repurchase all of the Sponsor Private Placement Warrants held by the Sponsor for an amount equal to the $2,500,000.

11

Table of Contents

3.      Prior to the Effective Time, all Braiin Convertible Securities outstanding shall be converted into Company Shares in accordance with the agreements governing such Braiin Convertible Securities.

4.      Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Sponsor shall surrender 1,500,000 founders shares.

5.      PubCo will purchase from the Braiin shareholders, all of the issued and outstanding shares and any other equity interests in or of Braiin in exchange for newly issued PubCo Ordinary Shares, as a result of which:

a.      each issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share of Northern Revival immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time shall be converted automatically into the right of the holder thereof to receive one (1) ordinary share of PubCo, following which the Class A ordinary shares shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled; and

b.      prior to the Effective Time, any remaining Class B Ordinary Shares that are issued and outstanding as of such time shall automatically convert in accordance with the terms of the Northern Revival’s Organizational Documents into one (1) Acquiror Class A Ordinary Share

6.      On the first business day following the effective time of the Initial Merger, PubCo will acquire all of the Company Shares in consideration for the issuance of PubCo ordinary shares to the Company shareholders (the “PubCo Ordinary Shares”) on a pro rata basis (the “Share Acquisition”, and together with the Initial Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Proposed Transactions”).

Acquisition of PowerTec

Pursuant to the Share Sale Agreement between Braiin and PowerTec (the “PowerTec SSA”), prior to the Closing, Braiin will acquire all of the outstanding shares of PowerTec in exchange for Braiin Ordinary Shares, which, upon exchange for PubCo Ordinary Shares at $10.00, will be equal to $[•].

The PowerTec SSA contains customary representations and warranties and covenants for transactions of its size and structure. The Share Sale Agreement also contains customary closing conditions, as well as the conditions that (i) the Form F-4 filed in connection with the Business Combination be declared effective by the SEC, (ii) Nasdaq provides preliminary approval for listing of the PubCo Ordinary Shares, and (ii) that the Business Combination is consummated prior to February 4, 2023.

Acquisition of Vega

Pursuant to the Share Sale Agreement between Braiin and Vega (the “Vega SSA”), prior to the Closing, Braiin will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Vega in exchange for Braiin Ordinary Shares, which, upon exchange for PubCo Ordinary Shares at $10.00, will be equal to $120,000,000.

The Vega SSA contains customary representations and warranties and covenants for transactions of its size and structure. The Share Sale Agreement also contains customary closing conditions, as well as the conditions that (i) the Form F-4 filed in connection with the Business Combination be declared effective by the SEC and (ii) Nasdaq provides preliminary approval for listing of the PubCo Ordinary Shares.

Accounting for the Proposed Transactions

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a capital reorganization. Under this method of accounting, Northern Revival will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Braiin issuing shares at the closing of the Business Combination for the net assets of Northern Revival as of the closing date, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Northern Revival will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

12

Table of Contents

Braiin has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:

        Braiin’s shareholders will have the largest voting interest in PubCo under both the no redemption and maximum redemption scenarios;

        The board of directors of the combined company has five members, and Braiin has the ability to nominate the majority of the members of the board of directors;

        Braiin’s senior management is the senior management of the combined company;

        The business of Braiin will comprise the ongoing operations of PubCo; and

        Braiin is the larger entity, in terms of substantive operations and employee base.

The Business Combination, which is not within the scope of IFRS 3 since Northern Revival does not meet the definition of a business in accordance with IFRS 3, is accounted for within the scope of IFRS 2. Any excess of fair value of PubCo Ordinary Shares issued over the fair value of Northern Revival’s identifiable net assets acquired represents compensation for the service of a stock exchange listing for its shares and is expensed as incurred. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information assumes that public warrants will be accounted for as liabilities in accordance with IAS 32 following consummation of the Business Combination and, accordingly, would be subject to ongoing mark-to-market adjustments through the statement of operations.

Acquisition of Powertec and Nisus Australia Pty Ltd, Nisus Payroll and Exato Technologies (Collectively referred to as Vega)

The management of Braiin has concluded that the Initial Merger represents a business combination pursuant to IFRS 3, Business Combinations. For accounting purposes, Braiin has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based upon the terms of the Initial Merger. The Initial Merger will be accounted using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations under the guidance of IFRS 3. Accordingly, Braiin will record the identified acquired tangible and intangible assets and liabilities at their fair value as of the Initial Merger closing date.

The Management has estimated the preliminary purchase price because it has not yet completed an external valuation analysis of the fair market value of Powertec’s and Vega assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed. As a result, management has estimated the allocation of the preliminary purchase price for Powertec’s and Vega assets and liabilities. This preliminary purchase price allocation has been used to prepare the pro forma adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheets and income statements. The final purchase price allocation, fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities and any other studies and calculations deemed necessary have not yet been completed. The final purchase consideration and purchase price allocation could differ materially from the preliminary purchase price and purchase price allocation used to prepare the pro forma financial statement and related adjustments. Also effecting the determination of the final purchase price and its allocation are the results of changes to assets and liabilities and to the ultimate purchase consideration, caused by operations during the intervening period to the closing of the Initial Merger.

Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

Northern Revival’s historical consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and presented in USD. Braiin’s historical consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with IFRS and presented in USD. The Pro Forma Financial Information includes adjustments to convert the financial information of Northern Revival from U.S. GAAP to IFRS as well as reclassifications to conform Northern Revival’s historical accounting presentation to Braiin’s accounting presentations.

Table of Contents

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the assumptions below with respect to the potential redemption by Northern Revival’s public shareholders of Northern Revival Class A Ordinary Shares for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account:

        Assuming No Redemptions:    This presentation assumes that no public shareholders of Northern Revival exercise redemption rights with respect to any of the 1,910,244 public shares outstanding as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus for a pro rata share of cash in the Trust Account.

        Assuming Midpoint Redemptions:    This presentation assumes that 955,122 Northern Revival Class A Ordinary Shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination.

        Assuming Maximum Redemptions:    This presentation assumes that the maximum possible Northern Revival Class A Ordinary Shares (1,910,244) are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination. The maximum redemption scenario assume that the minimum cash condition is waived by Braiin. The Business Combination Agreement includes as a condition to Closing the Business Combination that, at Closing, the Closing Cash is at least $15 million. The Business Combination may not be consummated if (i) the funds in the Trust Account after redemptions, if any, plus (ii) the aggregate cash proceeds received by Northern Revival or committed to be invested in respect of the Closing and the aggregate cash proceeds funded or irrevocably committed to be funded in respect of any Transaction Financing, if any, less (iii) payment of certain transaction expenses, is less than $15.0 million. You should note that the minimum Closing Cash condition may or may not be waived by Braiin in its sole discretion; however, there can be no assurances that Braiin will waive the minimum Closing Cash condition.

The foregoing scenarios are for illustrative purposes only as the actual number of redemptions by Northern Revival’s public shareholders is unknowable prior to the Northern Revival shareholder vote with respect to the Business Combination. Accordingly, the actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts presented herein.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position as of June 30, 2023 combines the historical statement of financial position of Northern Revival Acquisition Corporation and the historical statement of financial position of Braiin, on a pro forma basis as if the Business Combination and related transactions had been consummated on June 30, 2023. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2023 combines the historical statements of operations of Northern Revival and Braiin for such period on a pro forma basis as if the Business Combination and related transactions had been consummated on July 1, 2022 the beginning of the earliest period presented. These periods are presented on the basis that Braiin is the accounting acquirer.

The historical financial information of Braiin was derived from Braiin’s audited financial statements as of June 30, 2023, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The historical financial information of Northern Revival was derived from Northern Revival Acquisition Corporation financial statements as of June 30, 2023 and for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and Northern Revival Acquisition Corporation audited financial statements as of December 31, 2022 and for the period from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. Such unaudited interim financial information has been prepared on a basis consistent with the audited financial statements of Braiin and Northern Revival Acquisition Corporation, respectively, and should be read in conjunction with the interim unaudited historical financial statements and audited historical financial statements and related notes, each of which is included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. This information should be read together with Braiin’s and Northern Revival’s audited financial statements and related notes, the sections titled “Northern Revival’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and “Braiin’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and other financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The historical financial statements of Braiin have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB and in its presentation and reporting currency of the United States Dollars ($). The historical financial statements of Northern Revival have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) in its presentation and reporting currency of United States dollars ($).

The historical financial statements of Powertec, Nisus Australia Pty Ltd, Nisus Payroll and Exato Technologies Pvt Ltd have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB and in its presentation and reporting currency of the Australian dollars (A$).

The financial statements of these entities have been translated into United States dollars for the purposes of presentation in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information (“As Converted”) using the exchange rates shown below. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognized directly in the statement of operations in other comprehensive income and within the accumulated loss balance in the balance sheet.

        at the period end exchange rate as of June 30, 2023 of A$1.00 to $0.666 for the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet; and,

        the average exchange rate for the period from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023 of A$1.00 to $0.673 for the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2023.

The adjustments presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an accurate understanding of PubCo after giving effect to the Business Combination. 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 based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented.

The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the Business Combination are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that Braiin management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited condensed pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is

18

Table of Contents

likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments and it is possible the difference may be material. Braiin 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 Braiin’s management at this time and that the pro form 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 Braiin and Northern Revival.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect the income tax effects of the pro forma adjustments as based on the statutory rate in effect for the historical periods presented. Braiin’s management believes this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to not be meaningful given the pro forma combined entity incurred significant cumulative net losses during the historical periods presented, resulting in the Company concluding that any deferred taxes recognized would not be probable of being realized per IAS 12.

Note 2 — IFRS Policy and Presentation Alignment

The historical financial information of Northern Revival Acquisition Corporation has been adjusted to give effect to the differences between US GAAP and IFRS as issued by the IASB for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

COMPARATIVE SHARE INFORMATION

The following table sets forth summary historical comparative share information for each of Braiin and Northern Revival, and unaudited pro forma consolidated per share information of Braiin after giving effect to the Business Combination and the related transactions summarized above in the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information.” Assuming two redemption scenarios as follows:

        Assuming No Redemptions:    This presentation assumes that no public shareholders of Northern Revival exercise redemption rights with respect to any of the 1,910,244 public shares outstanding as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus for a pro rata share of cash in the Trust Account.

        Assuming Midpoint Redemptions:    This presentation assumes that 955,122 Northern Revival Class A Ordinary Shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination.

        Assuming Maximum Redemptions:    This presentation assumes that the maximum possible number of Northern Revival Class A Ordinary Shares (1,910,244) are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination. The maximum redemption scenario assume that the minimum cash condition is waived by Braiin. The Business Combination Agreement includes as a condition to Closing the Business Combination that, at Closing, the Closing Cash is at least $15 million. The Business Combination may not be consummated if (i) the funds in the Trust Account after redemptions, if any, plus (ii) the aggregate cash proceeds received by Northern Revival or committed to be invested in respect of the Closing and the aggregate cash proceeds funded or irrevocably committed to be funded in respect of any Transaction Financing, if any, less (iii) payment of certain transaction expenses, is less than $15.0 million. You should note that the minimum Closing Cash condition may be waived by Braiin in its sole discretion; however, there can be no assurances that Braiin will waive the minimum Closing Cash condition.

The pro forma book value information reflects the Business Combination and the related transactions summarized above as if they had occurred on December 31, 2022. The weighted average shares outstanding and net loss per share information reflects such transactions as if they had occurred on June 1, 2022.

This information is only a summary and should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of Braiin and Northern Revival and related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The unaudited pro forma combined per share information of Braiin and Northern Revival is derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information and related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus in the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information.”

The unaudited pro forma consolidated per share data is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of actual or future financial position or results of operations that would have been realized if the Business Combination had been completed as of the date indicated or will be realized upon the completion of the Business Combination.

RISK FACTORS

Shareholders 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. 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 Braiin, 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 Braiin

Risks Relating to Braiin’s Business and Industry

If Braiin does not effectively manage its growth and the associated demands on its operational, risk management, sales and marketing, technology, compliance and finance and accounting resources, its business may be adversely impacted.

Braiin will experience recent significant growth through its acquisition of PowerTec and Vega. These acquisitions make Braiin’s business more complex by expanding the services it offers. To effectively manage and capitalize on Braiin’s growth, it must continue to expand its information technology and financial, operating, and administrative systems and controls, and continue to manage headcount, capital, and processes efficiently. Braiin’s continued growth could strain its existing resources, and it could experience ongoing operating difficulties in managing its business as it expands across numerous jurisdictions, including difficulties in hiring, training, and managing an employee base. Failure to scale and preserve Braiin’s company culture with growth could harm its future success, including its ability to retain and recruit personnel and to effectively focus on and pursue its corporate objectives. If Braiin does not adapt to meet these evolving challenges, or if its management team does not effectively scale with its growth, Braiin may experience erosion to its brand, the quality of its products and services may suffer, and its company culture may be harmed. Moreover, the failure of Braiin systems and processes could undermine its ability to provide accurate, timely, and reliable reports on its financial and operating results, including the financial statements provided herein, and could impact the effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting. In addition, Braiin’s systems and processes may not prevent or detect all errors, omissions, or fraud, though Braiin has experienced no such material errors, omissions or fraud in the past. For example, Braiin’s employees may fail to identify transaction errors or fraudulent information provided by its customers. Any of the foregoing operational failures could lead to noncompliance with laws, loss of operating licenses or other authorizations, or loss of relationships that could substantially impair or even suspend company operations.

Braiin intends to continue to develop its technology. Successful implementation of this strategy may require significant expenditures before any substantial associated revenue is generated and Braiin cannot guarantee that these increased investments will result in corresponding and offsetting revenue growth. Braiin’s growth may not be sustainable and depends on its ability to retain existing customers, attract new customers, expand product offerings, and increase processed volumes and revenue from both new and existing customers.

A customer’s use of Braiin’s services may decrease for a variety of reasons, including the customer’s level of satisfaction with its products and services, the expansion of business to offer new products and services, the effectiveness of its support services, the pricing of its products and services, the pricing, range and quality of competing products or services, the effects of global economic conditions, regulatory limitations, trust, or perception and interest in our products and services. Furthermore, the complexity and costs associated with switching to a competitor may not be significant enough to prevent a customer from switching service providers, especially for larger customers.

Any failure by Braiin to retain existing customers, attract new customers, and increase revenue from both new and existing customers could materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. These efforts may require substantial financial expenditures, commitments of resources, developments of Braiin’s processes, and other investments and innovations.

Table of Contents

Braiin has identified internal control deficiencies which result in material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting which, if not corrected, could affect the reliability of Braiin’s consolidated financial statements, and have other adverse consequences.

Braiin has identified internal control deficiencies which result in material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting which, if not corrected, could affect the reliability of Braiin’s consolidated financial statements, and have other adverse consequences. A material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of Braiin’s consolidated financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The identified material weaknesses, if not corrected, could result in a material misstatement to Braiin’s or PubCo’s consolidated financial statements that may not be prevented or detected. Given that Braiin operated as a private company prior to the Business Combination, it did not have the necessary formalized processes to effectively implement review controls within its internal control over financial reporting.

Braiin’s audited financial statements as of June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 contain a statement expressing substantial doubt about Braiin’s ability to continue as a going concern due to Braiin’s history of recurring losses and net capital deficiency. Braiin’s ability to continue as a going concern requires that it obtains sufficient funding to finance its operations.

Braiin has incurred operating losses to date, and it is possible it may never generate a profit. Braiin’s consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties related to Braiin’s ability to operate on a going concern basis.

Braiin has concluded that its recurring losses from operations and need for additional financing to fund future operations raise substantial doubt about Braiin’s ability to continue as a going concern. Similarly, Braiin’s independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph in its report on our financial statements as of and for the period as of June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 expressing substantial doubt about Braiin’s ability to continue as a going concern. Braiin believes that potential financing in connection with the Business Combination, coupled with successful completion of the Business Combination, will eliminate this doubt and enable Braiin to continue as a going concern; however, Braiin may need to obtain alternative financing or significantly modify its operational plans for it to continue as a going concern.

Braiin’s future growth depends significantly on its marketing efforts, and if its marketing efforts are not successful, its business and results of operations will be harmed.

Braiin has dedicated some, and intends to significantly increase, resources to marketing efforts. Braiin’s ability to attract and retain customers depends in large part on the success of these marketing efforts and the success of the marketing channels it uses to promote its products and services. Braiin’s marketing channels include, but are not limited to, social media, traditional media such as the press, online affiliations, search engine optimization, search engine marketing, and offline partnerships.

While Braiin’s goal remains to increase the strength, recognition and trust in its brand by increasing its customer base and expanding its products and services, if any of its current marketing channels becomes less effective, if Braiin is unable to continue to use any of these channels, if the cost of using these channels was to significantly increase or if Braiin is not successful in generating new channels, it may not be able to attract new customers in a cost-effective manner or increase the use of its products and services. If Braiin is unable to recover its marketing costs through increases in the size, value or other product selection and utilization, it could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and future prospects.

Adverse economic conditions may adversely affect Braiin’s business.

Braiin’s performance is subject to general economic conditions, and their impact on the industries in which Braiin operates, as well as its customers. Australia, the United States and other key European and other international economies have experienced cyclical downturns from time to time in which economic activity declined resulting in

24

Table of Contents

lower consumption rates, restricted credit, reduced profitability, weaknesses in financial markets, bankruptcies, and overall uncertainty with respect to the economy. The impact of general economic conditions on Braiin’s business is highly uncertain and dependent on a variety of factors, including market activity, global economic trends, and other events beyond Braiin’s control. Geopolitical developments, such as trade wars and foreign exchange limitations can also increase the severity and levels of unpredictability globally and increase the volatility of global financial markets. To the extent that conditions in the general economic markets materially deteriorate, Braiin’s ability to attract and retain customers may suffer.

Braiin may be adversely affected by natural disasters, pandemics, and other catastrophic events, and by man-made problems such as war or terrorism, that could disrupt its business operations, and its business continuity and disaster recovery plans may not adequately protect Braiin from a serious disaster.

Natural disasters or other catastrophic events may also cause damage or disruption to Braiin’s operations, international commerce, and the global economy, and could have an adverse effect on its business, operating results, and financial condition. Braiin’s business operations are subject to interruption by natural disasters, fire, power shortages, and other events beyond its control.

In addition, Braiin’s global operations expose it to risks associated with public health crises, such as pandemics and epidemics, which could harm our business and cause its operating results to suffer. For example, the events like the COVID-19 pandemic and/or the precautionary measures that Braiin has adopted in the past or may adopt in the future have resulted, and could result in the future, in difficulties or changes to Braiin’s customer support, or create operational or other challenges, any of which could adversely impact its business and operating results.

Further, war, acts of terrorism, labor activism and other geopolitical unrest could cause disruptions in Braiin’s business or the businesses of its partners or the economy as a whole. In the event of a natural disaster, including a major earthquake, blizzard, or hurricane, or a catastrophic event such as a fire, power loss, or telecommunications failure, Braiin may be unable to continue its operations and may endure system interruptions, reputational harm, delays in development of its products and services, lengthy interruptions in service, breaches of data security, and loss of critical data, all of which could have an adverse effect on its future operating results.

Escalating global tensions, including the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, could negatively impact Braiin.

The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has led to disruption, instability and volatility in global markets and industries that could negatively impact Braiin’s operations. The Australian government and other governments in jurisdictions in which Braiin operates have imposed severe sanctions and export controls against Russia and Russian interests and threatened additional sanctions and controls. The impact of these measures, as well as potential responses to them by Russia, is currently unknown and they could adversely affect Braiin’s business, partners or customers.

Acquisitions, joint ventures or other strategic transactions create certain risks and may adversely affect Braiin’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

Acquisitions, partnerships and joint ventures are part of Braiin’s growth strategy. Braiin evaluates and expects in the future to evaluate potential strategic acquisitions of, and partnerships or joint ventures with, complementary businesses, services or technologies. Braiin may not be successful in identifying acquisition, partnership and joint venture targets. In addition, Braiin may not be able to successfully finance or integrate any businesses, services or technologies that it acquires or with which it forms a partnership or joint venture.

Braiin may not be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates or complete acquisitions in the future, which could adversely affect its future growth; or businesses that it acquires may not perform as well as expected or may be more difficult or expensive to integrate and manage than expected, which could adversely affect Braiin’s business and results of operations. In addition, the process of integrating these acquisitions may disrupt Braiin’s business and divert its resources.

In addition, acquisitions outside Braiin’s current operating jurisdictions often involve additional or increased risks including, for example:

        Managing geographically separated organizations, systems and facilities;

        integrating personnel with diverse business backgrounds and organizational cultures;

25

Table of Contents

        complying with foreign regulatory requirements;

        fluctuations in exchange rates;

        enforcement and protection of intellectual property in some foreign countries;

        difficulty entering new foreign markets due to, among other things, customer acceptance and business knowledge of these new markets; and

        general economic and political conditions.

These risks may arise for a number of reasons: Braiin may not be able to find suitable businesses to acquire at affordable valuations or on other acceptable terms; Braiin may face competition for acquisitions from other potential acquirers; Braiin may need to borrow money or sell equity or debt securities to the public to finance acquisitions and the terms of these financings may be adverse to Braiin; changes in accounting, tax, securities or other regulations could increase the difficulty or cost for Braiin to complete acquisitions; Braiin may incur unforeseen obligations or liabilities in connection with acquisitions; Braiin may need to devote unanticipated financial and management resources to an acquired business; Braiin may not realize expected operating efficiencies or product integration benefits from an acquisition; Braiin could enter markets where it has minimal prior experience; and it may experience decreases in earnings as a result of non-cash impairment charges.

Braiin cannot ensure that any acquisition, partnership or joint venture it makes will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risk Related to the Agricultural Industry

The overall agricultural industry is susceptible to commodity and raw material price changes.

Prices for agricultural commodities and their byproducts are often volatile and sensitive to local and international changes in supply and demand caused by a variety of factors, including general economic conditions, farmer planting and selling decisions, government agriculture programs and policies, global and local inventory levels, demand for biofuels, weather and crop conditions, food safety concerns, government regulations, and demand for and supply of, competing commodities and substitutes. As a result, Braiin may not be able to anticipate or react to changing costs by adjusting its practices, which could cause its operating results to deteriorate. Braiin may engage in hedging or other financial transactions to mitigate these risks. If these efforts are not successful, it could materially affect Braiin’ business, operating results and prospects and cause the value of its securities to decline.

The agricultural industry is highly seasonal, which may cause Braiin’s sales and operating results to fluctuate significantly.

The sale of plant and seed products is dependent upon growing and harvesting seasons, which vary from year to year and across geographies as a result of weather-related shifts in planting schedules and purchase patterns of farmers. Seasonality in the seed industry is expected to result in both highly seasonal patterns and substantial fluctuations in quarterly sales and profitability for Braiin’s business and may be further impacted by climate change.

Seasonality also relates to the limited windows of opportunity that farmers have to complete required tasks at each stage of crop cultivation. Weather and environmental conditions and natural disasters, such as heavy rains, hurricanes, hail, floods, tornadoes, freezing conditions, excessively hot or cold weather, drought or fire, affect decisions by farmers about the types and amounts of seeds to plant and the timing of harvesting and planting such seeds. Should adverse conditions occur during key growing and harvesting seasons, such conditions could substantially impact demand for agricultural inputs. Any delayed or cancelled orders as a result of such conditions would negatively affect the quarter in which they occur and cause fluctuations in Braiin’s operating results.

Any decline in agricultural production could have a material adverse effect on the market for our services and on our results of operations and financial position.

Conditions in the agricultural industry will significantly impact demand for our products. The agricultural industry has contracted in recent periods, and can be affected by a number of factors, including weather patterns and field conditions, current and projected agricultural inventories and prices, domestic and international demand for agricultural

26

Table of Contents

products and governmental policies regarding trade in agricultural products. Governmental policies, including farm subsidies and commodity support programs, as well as increases in costs of agricultural production and the prices at which agricultural goods may be sold, may also directly or indirectly influence the demand for our services.

We may have product liability claims if our agricultural products damage individuals or property and may need to recall items which do or could cause such damage.

If our products or services are used for an application they are not intended for, become adulterated or mislabeled we may need to recall such products. A widespread product recall could result in significant losses due to the costs of a recall, the destruction of product inventory, and lost sales due to the unavailability of product for a period of time. We could also suffer losses from a significant product liability judgment against us. A significant product recall or product liability case could also result in adverse publicity, damage to our reputation, and a loss of confidence in our products, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and the value of our brands.

Compliance with, or violation of, environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, including laws pertaining to the use of pesticides, could result in significant costs that adversely impact our reputation, businesses, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

International, federal, state, territorial, provincial and local laws and regulations relating to environmental, health and safety matters affect us in several ways in light of the ingredients that are used in our services. The failure by one of our partners to obtain or the cancellation of any such registration, or the withdrawal from the marketplace of such pesticides, could have an adverse effect on our businesses, the severity of which would depend on the products involved, whether other products could be substituted and whether our competitors were similarly affected.

In addition, the end user application or use of certain pesticide products is regulated by various international, federal, state, provincial and local environmental and public health agencies. Although we strive to educate the end user with such laws and regulations, we may be unable to prevent violations of these or other laws and regulations from occurring. Even if we are able to comply with all applicable laws and regulations and obtain all necessary registrations and licenses, the pesticides or other products we distribute, could be alleged to cause injury to the environment, to people or to animals, or such products could be banned in certain circumstances. The costs of compliance, noncompliance, investigation, remediation, combating reputational harm or defending civil or criminal proceedings, products liability, personal injury or other lawsuits could have a material adverse impact on our reputation, businesses, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Risks Related to Technology

If we are unable to develop and release technology enhancements and new technologies to respond to rapid technological change, or to develop new designs and technologies for our UAVs in a timely and cost-effective manner, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed.

The market for our technologies and services is characterized by rapid technological change, new technology introductions and enhancements, changes in technologies, changing customer demands and evolving industry standards. Our competitors may develop or acquire alternative and competing technologies, which could allow them to create new and disruptive space imaging and analytics technologies or other associated remote sensing technologies, including to supplement existing mature technologies like satellites and UAVs introduction of new technologies can quickly make existing technologies obsolete and unmarketable. Designing and building UAVs is an inherently complex and technologically demanding endeavor. Due to this complexity, it can take a long time and require significant research and development expenditures to develop and test new or enhanced features. In addition, if the components we use to manufacture our UAVs were to become obsolete due to technological change or other factors, it could lead to obsolescence of our UAVs, which may lead to asset impairment charges. Further, it takes significant time to manufacture new components; if any of our UAVs were to become obsolete, we may experience delays in building new UAVs, which could harm our growth prospects and business. Moreover, the complexity of developing and deploying new technologies makes it difficult for us to predict how long it may take for such updates to be ready and available to be sold to customers. As a result, the amount of time it takes to develop such updates could be substantially longer than we initially anticipated.

27

Table of Contents

The success of any enhancements or improvements to our technologies and services depends on several factors, including timely completion, successful manufacturing and deployment of our UAVs, competitive pricing, adequate quality testing and overall market acceptance. We cannot be sure that we will succeed in developing, marketing and delivering on a timely and cost-effective basis enhancements or improvements to our technologies that respond to technological change or new customer requirements or demands, nor can we be sure that any such enhancements or improvements will achieve market acceptance. Any new technologies that we develop may not be introduced in a timely or cost-effective manner, including compared to competing technologies that are more mature, may contain errors or defects or may not achieve the broad market acceptance necessary to generate sufficient revenue. We have experienced technical failures in our flight operations in the past and may experience more in the future. New features, technology and functionalities for our UAVs may also result in loss of other benefits or characteristics of our service. For example, the addition of incremental sensors on our UAVs may reduce their amount of station keeping time due to the additional weight of each sensor, which could harm their market acceptance. The development and deployment of new technologies requires a substantial outlay of capital and could also increase costs associated with customer support and customer success as demand for these services increase. This increase in cost could negatively impact our profit margins, including our gross margin. Moreover, even if we introduce new technologies, we may experience a decline in revenue, gross profit and gross margin of our existing technologies that is not offset by revenue from the new technologies. Further, we may introduce new technologies that customers do not find useful and we may also discontinue certain technologies or increase the price or price structure for our technologies. In addition, we may lose existing customers who choose a competitor’s technologies rather than migrate to our new technologies. This could result in a temporary or permanent revenue shortfall and adversely affect our business.

Braiin faces both external and internal cybersecurity threats.

Braiin faces external threats from sophisticated cybercriminals, state-sponsored actors, and hacktivists attempting to gain unauthorized access, disrupt operations, or steal sensitive data. Braiin also faces insider threats, whether intentional or unintentional, that pose a substantial risk. These could stem from disgruntled employees, inadequate access controls, or negligent behaviors.

Braiin’s vulnerability assessment focuses and mitigation strategies may not be effective.

Braiin is undertaking a vulnerability assessment focusing on three main areas:

        Network Security:    Vulnerabilities within the network infrastructure, including outdated software, unpatched systems, or misconfigured devices, create entry points for potential breaches;

        Data Security:    Storage, transmission, and handling of sensitive data may be vulnerable to breaches if encryption protocols, data classification, and access controls are not robustly implemented; and

        Third-party Risks:    Dependencies on third-party vendors or partners may introduce vulnerabilities if their security standards do not align with Braiin’s.

Braiin is also developing the following mitigation strategies the minimise the cyber risk to Braiin:

        Cybersecurity Framework:    Implementing a robust cybersecurity framework (to identify, protect, detect, respond to, and recover from cyber threats;

        Regular Assessments and Audits:    Conducting frequent security assessments, penetration testing, and audits to identify and remediate vulnerabilities;

        Employee Training and Awareness:    Continuous training programs to educate employees about cybersecurity best practices and the importance of adhering to security protocols;

        Incident Response Plan:    Developing and regularly testing an incident response plan to ensure a swift and coordinated response to cyber incidents;

        Cyberattacks and security breaches of Braiin’s systems, or those impacting its customers or third parties, could adversely impact its brand and reputation and its business, operating results and financial condition;

28

Table of Contents

        Because of the unique difficulties and uncertainties inherent in technology development, Braiin faces a risk of business failure; and

        Successful technical development of Braiin’s products does not guarantee successful commercialization.

There can be no guarantee that Braiin’s assessments and minimization strategies will be effective at identifying and protecting Braiin from cybersecurity attacks.

Cyberattacks and security breaches of Braiin’s systems, or those impacting its customers or third parties, could adversely impact its brand and reputation and its business, operating results and financial condition.

Braiin’s business involves the collection, storage, processing and transmission of confidential information, customer, employee, service provider and other personal data, as well as information required to access customer assets. Any actual or perceived security breach of Braiin or its third-party partners may:

        harm its reputation and brand;

        result in its systems or services being unavailable and interrupt its operations;

        result in improper disclosure of data and violations of applicable privacy and other laws;

        result in significant regulatory scrutiny, investigations, fines, penalties, and other legal, regulatory and financial exposure;

        cause Braiin to incur significant remediation costs;

        lead to theft of irretrievable loss of its or its customers’ assets;

        reduce customer confidence in, or decreased use of, its products and services;

        divert the attention of management from the operation of its business;

        result in significant compensation or contractual penalties from Braiin to its customers or third parties as a result of losses to them or claims by them; and

        adversely affect its business and operations results.

Further, any actual or perceived breach or cybersecurity attack directed at other similar institutions, whether or not Braiin is directly impacted, could lead to a general loss of customer confidence in the use of its technology, which could negatively impact Braiin including the market perception of the effectiveness of its security measures and technology infrastructure.

An increasing number of organizations, including large businesses, technology companies and financial institutions, as well as government institutions, have disclosed breaches of their information security systems, some of which have involved sophisticated and highly targeted attacks, including on their websites, mobile applications, and infrastructure. Attacks upon systems across a variety of industries are increasing in their frequency, persistence, and sophistication, and, in many cases, are being conducted by sophisticated, well-funded, and organized groups and individuals, including state actors. The techniques used to obtain unauthorized, improper, or illegal access to systems and information (including customers’ personal data and digital assets), disable or degrade services, or sabotage systems are constantly evolving, may be difficult to detect quickly, and often are not recognized or detected until after they have been launched against a target. These attacks may occur on Braiin’s systems or those of its third-party service providers or partners. Certain types of cyberattacks could harm Braiin even if its systems are left undisturbed. For example, attacks may be designed to deceive employees and service providers into releasing control of Braiin’s systems to a hacker, while others may aim to introduce computer viruses or malware into Braiin’s systems with a view to stealing confidential or proprietary data. Additionally, certain threats are designed to remain dormant or undetectable until launched against a target and Braiin may not be able to implement adequate preventative measures.

Although Braiin does not have a past history of material security breaches or cyberattacks, and does not believe it is a target of such breaches or attacks, Braiin has developed systems and processes designed to protect the data it manages, prevent data loss and other security breaches, effectively respond to known and potential risks. Braiin expects to continue to expend significant resources to bolster these protections, but there can be no assurance

29

Table of Contents

that these security measures will provide absolute security or prevent breaches or attacks. Threats can come from a variety of sources, including criminal hackers, hacktivists, state-sponsored intrusions, industrial espionage, and insiders. Certain threat actors may be supported by significant financial and technological resources, making them even more sophisticated and difficult to detect. As a result, Braiin’s costs and the resources it devotes to protecting against these advanced threats and their consequences may increase over time.

Although Braiin maintain insurance coverage that it believes is adequate for its business, it may be insufficient to protect Braiin against all losses and costs stemming from security breaches, cyberattacks, and other types of unlawful activity, or any resulting disruptions from such events. Outages and disruptions of Braiin’s systems, including any caused by cyberattacks, may harm our reputation and Braiin’s business, operating results, and financial condition.

Braiin have developed the Braiin Security Management Plan to address the issues of cyber risk to the Company. The Security Management Plan for Braiin provides a robust framework for safeguarding information assets and responding effectively to cyber threats. Through preventive measures, enhanced detection capabilities, and a well-defined incident response plan, Braiin aims to ensure the ongoing integrity and security of its operations.

        Braiin addresses the risks of security breaches, cyberattacks, and other types of unlawful activity by:

        Engaging with a team of security experts who are constantly working to identify and mitigate threats.

        Using a variety of security measures, such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and data encryption.

        Has a business continuity plan in place to ensure that the company can continue to operate in the event of a security breach.

        Regularly training its employees on cybersecurity best practices.

Because of the unique difficulties and uncertainties inherent in technology development, Braiin faces a risk of business failure.

Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by companies developing new technology and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the development of new technology with limited personnel and financial means. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated technical problems that extend the time and cost of product development, or unanticipated problems with the operation of Braiin’s technology or that with which Braiin is licensing that also extend the time and cost of product development.

Successful technical development of Braiin’s products does not guarantee successful commercialization.

Braiin may successfully complete the technical development for one or all of its product development programs, but still fail to develop a commercially successful product for a number of reasons, including among others the following:

        Competing products;

        Ineffective distribution and marketing;

        Lack of sufficient cooperation from its partners; and

        Demonstrations of the products not aligning with or meeting customer needs.

Braiin’s success in the market for the products it develops will depend largely on its ability to prove its products’ capabilities. Upon demonstration, Braiin’s products and/or technology may not have the capabilities they were designed to have or that Braiin believed they would have. Furthermore, even if Braiin does successfully demonstrate its products’ capabilities, potential customers may be more comfortable doing business with a larger, more established, more proven company than Braiin. Moreover, competing products may prevent Braiin from gaining wide market acceptance of its products. Significant revenue from new product investments may not be achieved for a number of years, if at all.

Risks Related to Intellectual Property

Braiin’s intellectual property rights are valuable, and any inability to protect them could adversely impact Braiin’s business, operating results, and financial condition.

Braiin’s business depends in large part on its proprietary technology and its brand. Braiin relies on, and expects to continue to rely on, a combination of trademark, trade dress, domain name, copyright, and trade secret and laws, as well as confidentiality and license agreements with its employees, contractors, consultants, and third parties with whom it has relationships, to establish and protect its brand and other intellectual property rights.

Braiin’s efforts to protect its intellectual property rights may not be sufficient or effective. Braiin’s proprietary technology and trade secrets could be lost through misappropriation or breach of its confidentiality and license agreements, and any of its intellectual property rights may be challenged, which could result in them being narrowed in scope or declared invalid or unenforceable. There can be no assurance that Braiin’s intellectual property rights will be sufficient to protect against others offering products, services, or technologies that are substantially similar to ours and that compete with its business.

As Braiin grows, it will seek to obtain and protect its intellectual property rights in an increasing number of countries, a process that can be expensive and may not always be successful. For example, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and various foreign governmental intellectual property agencies require compliance with a number of procedural requirements to complete the trademark application process and to maintain issued trademarks, and noncompliance or non-payment could result in abandonment or lapse of a trademark or trademark application, resulting in partial or complete loss of trademark rights in a relevant jurisdiction. Further, intellectual property protection may not be available to us in every country in which Braiin’s products and services are available. Braiin may also agree to license its intellectual property to third parties as part of various agreements. Those licenses may diminish Braiin’s ability, though, to counter-assert its intellectual property rights against certain parties that may bring claims against it.

In the future Braiin may be sued by third parties for alleged infringement of their proprietary rights.

In recent years, there has been considerable patent, copyright, trademark, domain name, trade secret and other intellectual property development activity, as well as litigation, based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property, including by large financial institutions. Furthermore, individuals and groups can purchase patents and other intellectual property assets for the purpose of making claims of infringement to extract settlements from companies like ours. Braiin’s use of third-party intellectual property rights also may be subject to claims of infringement or misappropriation.

Braiin cannot guarantee that its internally developed or acquired/licensed technologies and content do not or will not infringe the intellectual property rights of others. From time to time, Braiin’s competitors or other third parties may claim that it is infringing upon or misappropriating their intellectual property rights, and Braiin may be found to be infringing upon such rights. Any claims or litigation could cause Braiin to incur significant expenses and, if successfully asserted against Braiin, could require that Braiin pay substantial damages or ongoing royalty payments, prevent Braiin from offering its products or services or using certain technologies, force Braiin to implement expensive work-arounds, or impose other unfavorable terms. Braiin’s exposure to damages resulting from infringement claims could increase and this could further exhaust its financial and management resources. Further, during the course of any litigation, Braiin may make announcements regarding the results of hearings and motions, and other interim developments. If securities analysts and investors regard these announcements as negative, the market price of Braiin’s Ordinary Shares may decline. Even if intellectual property claims do not result in litigation or are resolved in Braiin’s favor, these claims, and the time and resources necessary to resolve them, could divert the resources of its management and require significant expenditures. Any of the foregoing could prevent Braiin from competing effectively and could have an adverse effect on its business, operating results, and financial condition.

If Braiin fails to protect its intellectual property rights, it could lose its ability to compete in the marketplace.

Braiin’s intellectual property and proprietary rights are important to its ability to remain competitive and for the success of its products and its business. Braiin relies on, and in the future may rely on, a combination of patent, trademark and trade secret laws as well as confidentiality agreements and procedures, non-compete agreements and other contractual provisions to protect its intellectual property, other proprietary rights and its brand. Braiin has confidentiality agreements in place with its consultants, customers and certain business suppliers and plans to

31

Table of Contents

require future employees to enter into confidentiality and non-compete agreements. Braiin has little protection when its must rely on trade secrets and nondisclosure agreements. Braiin’s intellectual property rights may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented by third parties. Braiin may not be able to prevent the unauthorized disclosure or use of its technical knowledge or other trade secrets by employees or competitors. Furthermore, Braiin’s competitors may independently develop technologies and products that are substantially equivalent or superior to its technologies and/or products, which could result in decreased revenues. Moreover, the laws of foreign countries may not protect Braiin’s intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the U.S. Litigation may be necessary to enforce Braiin’s intellectual property rights which could result in substantial costs to it and substantial diversion of management attention. If Braiin does not adequately protect its intellectual property, its competitors could use it to enhance their products. Braiin’s inability to adequately protect its intellectual property rights could adversely affect its business and financial condition, and the value of its brand and other intangible assets.

Other companies may claim that Braiin infringes their intellectual property, which could materially increase our costs and harm Braiin’s ability to generate future revenue and profit.

Braiin does not believe that it infringes the proprietary rights of any third party, but claims of infringement are becoming increasingly common and third parties may assert infringement claims against Braiin. It may be difficult or impossible to identify, prior to receipt of notice from a third party, the trade secrets, patent position or other intellectual property rights of a third party, either in the United States or in foreign jurisdictions. Any such assertion may result in litigation or may require Braiin to obtain a license for the intellectual property rights of third parties. If Braiin is required to obtain licenses to use any third-party technology, Braiin would have to pay royalties, which may significantly reduce any profit on its products. In addition, any such litigation could be expensive and disruptive to Braiin’s ability to generate revenue or enter into new market opportunities. If any of Braiin’s products were found to infringe other parties’ proprietary rights and Braiin was unable to come to terms regarding a license with such parties, Braiin may be forced to modify its products to make them non-infringing or to cease production of such products altogether.

The nature of Braiin’s business involves significant risks and uncertainties that may not be covered by insurance or indemnity.

Braiin develops and sells products where insurance or indemnification may not be available, including:

        Designing and developing products using advanced technologies in intelligence and homeland security applications that are intended to operate in high demand, high risk situations; and

        Designing and developing products to collect, distribute and analyze various types of information.

Certain products may raise questions with respect to issues of privacy rights, civil liberties, intellectual property, trespass, conversion and similar concepts, which may raise new legal issues. Indemnification to cover potential claims or liabilities resulting from a failure of technologies developed or deployed may be available in certain circumstances but not in others. Braiin is not able to maintain insurance to protect against all operational risks and uncertainties. Substantial claims resulting from an accident, failure of its product, or liability arising from its products in excess of any indemnity or insurance coverage (or for which indemnity or insurance is not available or was not obtained) could harm Braiin’s financial condition, cash flows, and operating results. Any accident, even if fully covered or insured, could negatively affect Braiin’s reputation among our customers and the public, and make it more difficult for Braiin to compete effectively.

Risks Related to Legal, Compliance and Regulations

Braiin is subject to governmental export and import controls that could impair its ability to compete in international markets due to licensing requirements and subject Braiin to liability if it is not in compliance with applicable laws.

Exports of Braiin’s technologies must be made in compliance with laws in regulations in the jurisdictions in which it operates. If Braiin fails to comply with these laws and regulations, Braiin and certain of its employees could be subject to substantial civil or criminal penalties, including the possible loss of export or import privileges; fines, which may be imposed on Braiin and the responsible employees or managers; and, in extreme cases, the incarceration of the responsible employees or managers.

32

Table of Contents

In addition, changes in Braiin’s technologies or changes in applicable export or import laws and regulations may create delays in the introduction and sale of products containing Braiin’s technologies in international markets, prevent Braiin’ customers from deploying their products or, in some cases, prevent the export or import of Braiin’ technologies to certain countries, governments or persons altogether. Any change in export or import laws and regulations, shift in the enforcement or scope of existing laws and regulations, or change in the countries, governments, persons or technologies targeted by such laws and regulations, could also result in decreased use of Braiin’ technologies, or in its decreased ability to export or sell its products to existing or potential customers. Any decreased use of Braiin’ technologies or limitation on Braiin’ ability to export or sell such technologies would likely adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Braiin is subject to anti-corruption and anti-money laundering laws with respect to both its domestic and international operations, and non-compliance with such laws can subject Braiin to criminal and civil liability and harm its business.

Braiin is subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, the U.S. domestic bribery statute contained in 18 U.S.C. § 201, the U.S. Travel Act, the USA PATRIOT Act, and possibly other anti-bribery and anti-money laundering laws in countries in which it conducts activities. Anti-corruption laws are interpreted broadly and prohibit Braiin from authorizing, offering, or directly or indirectly providing improper payments or benefits to recipients in the public or private sector. Braiin may have direct and indirect interactions with government agencies and state affiliated entities and universities in the course of its business. Braiin may also have certain matters come before public international organizations such as the United Nations. Braiin uses third-party contractors, strategic commercial partners, law firms, and other representatives for certain aspects of regulatory compliance, patent registration, lobbying, deregulation advocacy, field testing, and other purposes in a variety of countries. Braiin can be held liable for the corrupt or other illegal activities of these third-parties, Braiin’s employees, representatives, contractors and agents, even if Braiin does not explicitly authorize such activities. In addition, although Braiin has implemented policies and procedures to ensure compliance with anti-corruption and related laws, there can be no assurance that all of its employees, representatives, contractors, partners, or agents will comply with these laws at all times. Noncompliance with these laws could subject Braiin to whistleblower complaints, investigations, sanctions, settlements, prosecution, other enforcement actions, disgorgement of profits, significant fines, damages, other civil and criminal penalties or injunctions, suspension and debarment from contracting with certain governments or other persons, the loss of export privileges, reputational harm, adverse media coverage, and other collateral consequences. If any subpoenas or investigations are launched, or governmental or other sanctions are imposed, or if Braiin does not prevail in any possible civil or criminal litigation, its business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially harmed. In addition, responding to any action will likely result in a materially significant diversion of management’s attention and resources and significant defense costs and other professional fees. Enforcement actions and sanctions could further harm Braiin’ business, results of operations and financial condition.

Government regulation is evolving and unfavorable changes could harm our business.

We are subject to general business regulations and laws, as well as regulations and laws specifically governing the Internet, e-commerce, electronic devices, and other services. Existing and future laws and regulations may impede establishment of our business and our growth. These regulations and laws could cover taxation, privacy, data protection, pricing, content, copyrights, distribution, mobile communications, electronic device certification, electronic waste, energy consumption, environmental regulation, electronic contracts and other communications, competition, consumer protection, web services, the provision of online payment services, information reporting requirements, unencumbered Internet access to our services, the design and operation of websites, the characteristics and quality of products and services, and the commercial operation of UAVs. It is not clear how existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, libel, and personal privacy apply to the Internet, e-commerce, digital content, and web services. Jurisdictions may regulate consumer-to-consumer online businesses, including certain aspects of our seller programs. Unfavorable regulations and laws could diminish the demand for our products and services and increase our cost of doing business.

Risks Related to Australia

As a foreign private issuer, PubCo will be exempt from a number of rules under the Exchange Act, PubCo will be permitted to file less information with the SEC than domestic companies and permitted to follow home country practice in lieu of the listing requirements of Nasdaq, subject to certain exceptions. Accordingly, there may be less publicly available information concerning Braiin than there is for issuers that are not foreign private issuers.

As a foreign private issuer, PubCo will be exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act, including certain disclosure and procedural requirements applicable to proxy solicitations under Section 14 of the Exchange Act, PubCo’s Board, officers and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and Braiin is not required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act but are not foreign private issuers. Foreign private issuers are also not required to comply with Regulation Fair Disclosure (“Regulation FD”), which restricts the selective disclosure of material non-public information. Accordingly, there may be less publicly available information concerning Braiin than there is for companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act but are not foreign private issuers, and such information may not be provided as promptly as it is provided by such companies.

In addition, certain information may be provided by Braiin in accordance with Australian law, which may differ in substance or timing from such disclosure requirements under the Exchange Act. As a foreign private issuer, under Nasdaq rules Braiin is subject to less stringent corporate governance requirements. Subject to certain exceptions, the rules of Nasdaq permit a foreign private issuer to follow its home country practice in lieu of the listing requirements of Nasdaq, including, for example, certain internal controls as well as board, committee and director independence requirements. If Braiin determines to follow Australian corporate governance practices in lieu of Nasdaq corporate governance standards, Braiin will disclose each Nasdaq rule that Braiin does not intend to follow and describe the Australian practice that we will follow in lieu thereof.

It may be difficult to enforce a judgment in the United States against Braiin and its officers and directors, assert U.S. securities laws claims in Australia or serve process on Braiin’s officers and directors.

Braiin is incorporated in Australia. The majority of Braiin’s directors and executive officers are and will be non-residents of the United States, and all or a substantial portion of the assets of such persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon such persons or to enforce against them judgments obtained in U.S. courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States. There is doubt as to the enforceability in Australia in original actions, or in actions for enforcement of judgments of U.S. courts, of civil liabilities to the extent predicated upon the federal securities laws of the United States. In Australia, civil liability of directors and officers is dealt with by both common law and by various statutes, including the Corporations Act and the Civil Liability Act 2003 (Qld).

Braiin may be affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

Braiin is potentially exposed to adverse as well as beneficial movements in currency exchange rates. An increase in the value of the dollar could increase the real cost to Braiin’s customers of its products in those markets outside the U.S. where Braiin sells in dollars, and a weakened dollar could increase the cost of local operating expenses from sources outside the United States, and overseas capital expenditures. Braiin also conducts certain investing and financing activities in local currencies. Therefore, changes in exchange rates could harm Braiin’s financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Relating to Northern Revival, PubCo and the Business Combination

If Northern Revival does not consummate a Business Combination by the termination date of up to February 4, 2024 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Northern Revival Memorandum and Articles of Association), Northern Revival 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 shareholders to extend the termination date.

If Northern Revival is unable to complete a Business Combination by February 4, 2024 (subject to payment of the extension by the Sponsor or its designees into our Trust Account, or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Northern Revival Memorandum and Articles of Association),

34

Table of Contents

Northern Revival 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 shareholders’ rights as shareholders (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 shareholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

As a “foreign private issuer” under the rules and regulations of the SEC, PubCo will be 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 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 Northern Revival 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 will be 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 will 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,” “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 after the consummation of the Business Combination 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 Braiin 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

35

Table of Contents

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.

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

Although the Business Combination is intended to accelerate PubCo’s growth, expansion and transition, the Business Combination does not result in immediate diversification of PubCo’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 PubCo operates, any or all of which could have a substantial adverse impact on PubCo.

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

Northern Revival 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. Northern Revival’s transaction expenses as a result of the Business Combination are currently estimated at approximately $4 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. Braiin estimates its Business Combination costs to be approximately $3.1 million which is comprised of legal, accounting, financial consulting and investor relations matters. If Northern Revival and Braiin do not consummate the Business Combination, each party will be required to pay its own fees and expenses, and Northern Revival 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 Northern Revival’s shareholders exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination and will also be reduced to the extent of Braiin’s and Northern Revival’s transaction expenses, which will be payable by the Combined Company. This may adversely affect the business and future operations of Braiin.

The amount of working capital available to the Combined Company after the Business Combination will depend in part on the extent to which Northern Revival shareholders 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 Northern Revival’s and Braiin’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 4, 2024 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Northern Revival Memorandum and Articles of Association), 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 warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. The shares would be identical to the private placement warrants. As of September 30, 2023, 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

36

Table of Contents

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 4, 2024 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Northern Revival Memorandum and Articles of Association).

As of September 30, 2023 Northern Revival had $2,953 of cash in its operating bank account and negative working capital of $2.9 million. Northern Revival 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 Northern Revival will complete the proposed Business Combination before February 4, 2024 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Northern Revival Memorandum and Articles of Association). The date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about Northern Revival’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 shareholders may receive only approximately $10.00 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 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 Braiin, 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 shareholders may receive only approximately $10.00 per share on the liquidation of our Trust Account and our warrants will expire worthless.

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

37

Table of Contents

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 Company 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 Company 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.

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

Northern Revival 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 Northern Revival’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and applicable laws. For example, it is a condition to Northern Revival’s obligations to close the Business Combination that the representations and warranties of Braiin Holders are true and correct in all respects as of the date of the Business Combination 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 Business Combination Agreement) on Braiin. Under applicable law and Northern Revival’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, Northern Revival is not able to waive the condition that its shareholders approve the Business Combination.

The Sponsor, and Northern Revival’s directors and officers, have conflicts of interest in determining to pursue the Business Combination with Braiin, 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 Northern Revival’s shareholders.

The Sponsor, and officers and directors of Northern Revival, 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 Northern Revival’s public shareholders, which may result in a conflict of interest. These interests include:

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

The Northern Revival Initial Shareholders, including our Sponsor, and their permitted transferees, currently own an aggregate of 6,037,500 founders shares. In addition, our Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 4,553,334 placement shares for $6,830,001 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

38

Table of Contents

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 Braiin for its target Business Combination and consummating the Business Combination in order to close the Business Combination.

There are risks to our shareholders who are not affiliates of the Sponsor of becoming shareholders of the Combined Company through the Business Combination rather than acquiring securities of Braiin or Braiin 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 ordinary shares and warrants in connection therewith, investors will not receive the benefit of an outside independent review of Braiin’s, Northern Revival’s and Braiin’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 shareholders 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 Northern Revival’s executive officers and directors have interests in the Business Combination that may be different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) your interests as a shareholder. Such interests may have influenced Northern Revival’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 Northern Revival’s directors and officers, have conflicts of interest in determining to pursue the Business Combination with Braiin, 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 Northern Revival’s shareholders.”

The process of taking a company public by means of a Business Combination with a special purpose acquisition company, or 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 Braiin’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 a target 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 Business Combination 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.

Table of Contents

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

Even though Northern Revival conducted a due diligence investigation of Braiin that it believed to be reasonable, it cannot be certain that this due diligence uncovered all material issues that may be present inside Braiin 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 Braiin 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 Northern Revival shareholders who choose to remain shareholders of Braiin 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.

Each of Northern Revival’s officers and directors presently has, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations to another entity, 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 Northern Revival’s officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she will honor his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such business combination opportunity to such entity, and may only decide to present it to Northern Revival if such entity rejects the opportunity and consummating the same would not violate any restrictive covenants to which such officers and directors are subject. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Northern Revival may pursue an affiliated joint acquisition opportunity with an entity to which an officer or director has a fiduciary or contractual obligation. Any such entity may co-invest with Northern Revival in the target business at the time of its initial business combination, or Northern Revival could raise additional proceeds to complete the acquisition by issuing to such entity a class of equity or equity-linked securities. The Northern Revival Articles of Association provide that Northern Revival renounces its interest in any Business Opportunities offered to any director or officer unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the company and such opportunity is one Northern Revival is legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for it to pursue, and to the extent the director or officer is permitted to refer that opportunity to Northern Revival without violating another legal obligation.

In the absence of the “Business Opportunities” 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 “Business Opportunities” waiver in our amended and restated Articles of Association 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 shareholders’ 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.

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

Northern Revival’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 Braiin, particularly Natraj Balasubramanian and Darren McVean. 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. Furthermore, while Northern Revival 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, shareholders or financial analysts, the market price of Northern Revival’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 Northern Revival’s securities prior to the Closing of the Business Combination may decline. The market values of Northern Revival’s securities at the time of the Business Combination may vary significantly from their prices on the date the Business Combination Agreement was executed, the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, or the date on which our shareholders 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 PubCo’s equity interests or PubCo’s stock and trading in the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares has not been active. Accordingly, the valuation ascribed to Braiin and the Braiin Shares 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;

        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 Ordinary Shares by its directors, executive officers or significant shareholders 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 Northern Revival’s directors and officers have agreed to vote in favor of its initial Business Combination, regardless of how Northern Revival’s public shareholders 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 shareholders in connection with an initial business combination, the Sponsor, Northern Revival’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 Northern Revival IPO, in favor of the initial Business Combination of Northern Revival. Our Sponsor together with our directors and officers and permitted transferees currently own 6,037,500 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 75.96% of the 7,947,744 issued and outstanding Northern Revival Ordinary Shares. Accordingly, it is more likely that the necessary shareholder approval will be received than would be the case if Northern Revival’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 shareholders.

Northern Revival’s shareholders 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, Northern Revival’s shareholders will own a smaller percentage of PubCo than they currently own of Northern Revival. Immediately upon completion of the Business Combination, it is anticipated that Northern Revival’s shareholders including the Sponsor will own approximately 10% of the PubCo Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination, and of that amount approximately 7% will be owned by the Sponsor, taking into account the 1,500,000 Ordinary Shares that the Sponsor has agreed to give up, assuming that none of Northern Revival shareholders exercise their redemption rights. Consequently, Northern Revival’s shareholders, as a group, will have reduced ownership and voting power in PubCo compared to their ownership and voting power in Northern Revival.

Subsequent to the consummation of the Business Combination, Braiin 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 Northern Revival has conducted due diligence on Braiin, there is no assurance that this diligence revealed all material issues that may be present in Braiin’s business, that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence, or that factors outside of Northern Revival’s and Braiin’s control will not later arise. As a result, Braiin 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 Northern Revival’s due diligence successfully identifies certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with Northern Revival’s preliminary risk analysis. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and not have an immediate impact on the liquidity of Braiin, the fact that Braiin 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 Braiin to be unable to obtain future financing on favorable terms or at all.

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.

None of Northern Revival, PubCo nor Braiin 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 Braiin 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 Braiin 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 ordinary shares.

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

As a public company, PubCo will be 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. Braiin 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 will be an “emerging growth company” and it cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make its shares of ordinary shares less attractive to investors.

PubCo will be 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 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 New Braiin 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.

Anti-takeover provisions contained in the Proposed PubCo Charter, as well as provisions of Cayman 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 PubCo Charter will contain provisions that may discourage unsolicited takeover proposals that shareholders may consider to be in their best interests. PubCo will also subject to anti-takeover provisions under Cayman 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 New Braiin’s securities. The Proposed PubCo 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 New Braiin by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger, or otherwise.

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

The Proposed PubCo 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 Cayman 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 PubCo 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 shareholder’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 shareholders, 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 PubCo 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, Northern Revival’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 reduce the public “float” of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares.

In connection with the shareholder vote to approve Proposal 2 (Business Combination Proposal) and the other proposals Northern Revival and its affiliates may purchase shares prior to the Closing from shareholders who would have otherwise elected to have their shares redeemed for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account upon consummation of the Business Combination. Such a purchase would in a privately negotiated purchase arrangement include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record holder of such shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. While they have no current plans to do so, the Sponsor, Northern Revival’s directors, officers or advisors, or their affiliates reserve the right to purchase shares from holders of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, in which event such selling shareholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. Any such transaction would be separately negotiated at the time of the transaction. The consideration for any such transaction would consist of cash and/or Northern Revival Ordinary Shares owned by the Sponsor and/or Northern Revival’s directors, officers, advisors, or their affiliates. The purpose of these purchases would be to increase the amount of cash available to Northern Revival for use in the Business Combination.

44

Table of Contents

None of Northern Revival, the Sponsor or Northern Revival’s directors, officers or advisors, or their respective affiliates, will make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller. Any Northern Revival Ordinary Shares purchased by the Sponsor or Northern Revival’s directors, officers or advisors, or their respective affiliates will not (i) be purchased at a price higher than the price offered through the redemption process in the Redemption, (ii) be voted in favor of the Business Combination or (iii) have redemption rights, and if such Northern Revival Ordinary Shares do have redemption rights then such rights will be waived by the Sponsor, or Northern Revival’s directors, officers or advisors, or their respective affiliates.

Unlike our Sponsor’s and Northern Revival Initial Shareholders’ 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 Northern Revival, 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 Braiin 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 Braiin 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.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there have been no such discussions and no agreements to such effect have been entered into with any such investor or holder. If such arrangements or agreements are entered into, Northern Revival will file a Current Report on Form 8-K prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting to disclose any arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons. Any such report will include (i) the amount of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares purchased and the purchase price; (ii) the purpose of such purchases; (iii) the impact of such purchases on the likelihood that the Business Combination transaction will be approved; (iv) the identities or characteristics of security holders who sold shares if not purchased in the open market or the nature of the sellers; and (v) the number of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares for which Northern Revival has received redemption requests.

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. Northern Revival 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

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

After the completion of the Business Combination, PubCo 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 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, the Northern Revival Warrants, and Northern Revival’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 “[•]” and the PubCo Warrants under the symbol “[•]”. 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 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares that are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, as the number

45

Table of Contents

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 are 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 shareholders 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 are 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.

Holders of Northern Revival Warrants may elect to redeem their public shares while retaining their Northern Revival Warrants, although if redemptions exceed the threshold allowable for us to consummate the Business Combination, the Northern Revival will expire worthless.

A decision to redeem public shares will have no effect on our shareholders’ ability to hold Northern Revival Warrants. However, a decision to redeem public shares carries a risk to the value of Northern Revival Warrants.

The Northern Revival Warrants are only exercisable for Northern Revival Ordinary Shares subject to and upon occurrence of the consummation of a business combination. However, we cannot consummate a business combination, including the Business Combination, among other things, if redemptions of our public shares exceed the amount allowable for us to proceed with the Business Combination. The Closing of the Business Combination is conditioned, among other things, on that Northern Revival Closing Cash equal at least $15 million. See “The Business Combination Proposal — Conditions to Closing” for more information.

Accordingly, if redemptions exceed the amount we need to fulfill our working capital requirements and we cannot consummate the Business Combination, your Northern Revival Warrants will not be exercisable into Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, and if we fail to consummate a business combination prior to our termination, your Northern Revival Warrants will expire worthless.

For information about the per share value of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares given different levels of redemptions, see “Questions and Answers — What equity stake will current shareholders of Northern Revival hold in New Braiin after the Closing?”

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, Braiin has been a privately-held company. PubCo’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.

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 securities in an adverse manner, or provides more

46

Table of Contents

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.

Northern Revival may not be able to complete an initial business combination with a U.S. target company should the transaction be subject to review by a U.S. government entity, such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), or ultimately prohibited.

Although we are not aware of any material regulatory approvals or actions that are required for completion of the Business Combination, there can be no assurance that such additional approval or actions will be obtained within the required time period. This includes any potential review by a U.S. government entity, such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”) on account of certain foreign ownership restrictions on U.S. businesses. If the Business Combination with Braiin falls within the scope of foreign ownership restrictions, we may be unable to consummate the Business Combination. In addition, if the Business Combination falls within CFIUS’s jurisdiction, we may be required to make a mandatory filing or determine to submit a voluntary notice to CFIUS, or to proceed with the Business Combination without notifying CFIUS and risk CFIUS intervention, before or after closing the initial business combination.

Northern Revival’s Sponsor is Northern Revival Sponsor LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company. The Sponsor’s managing members are each U.S. citizens, and all of Sponsor’s owners are likewise U.S. persons. As the managing members of the Sponsor, we believe Aemish Shah, the sole managing member, controls the Sponsor and the Sponsor is thereby controlled by a U.S. person. The Sponsor together with the Initial Shareholders and Northern Revival’s officer and directors, own approximately 75.96% of the issued and outstanding Northern Revival Ordinary Shares. Accordingly, the Sponsor is not controlled by a non-U.S. person, and it is unlikely CFIUS may consider Northern Revival to be a “foreign person.”

Braiin is not in our view a U.S. business, because the Braiin is an Australian company limited by shares incorporated in Australia, as described under “Information about Braiin.” Braiin does not have the majority of its operations or assets in the United States, does not have any mineral rights in the United States.

Although we do not believe Braiin is a U.S. business, and furthermore although we do not believe Braiin has a business that may affect U.S. national security, and although we believe Northern Revival is controlled by a U.S. person, CFIUS may take a different view and decide to block or delay the Business Combination, impose conditions to mitigate national security concerns with respect to the Business Combination, order us to divest all or a portion of a U.S. business of the combined company if Northern Revival had proceeded without first obtaining CFIUS clearance, or impose penalties if CFIUS believes that the mandatory notification requirement applied. Additionally, the laws and regulations of other U.S. government entities may impose review or approval procedures on account of any foreign ownership by the Sponsor.

The foreign ownership limitations, and the potential impact of CFIUS, may prevent Northern Revival from consummating the Business Combination with Braiin. If Northern Revival were to seek an initial business combination other than the Business Combination, the pool of potential targets with which it could complete an initial business combination may be limited as a result of any such regulatory restriction. Moreover, the process of any government review, whether by CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy. Because Northern Revival has only a limited time to complete an initial business combination, its failure to obtain any required approvals within the requisite time period could prevent Northern Revival from completing an initial business combination and may require Northern Revival to liquidate. If Northern Revival liquidates, this will cause you to lose any potential investment opportunity in Braiin and the chance of realizing future gains on your investment through any price appreciation in Braiin, and Northern Revival’s warrants will expire worthless.

Risks Related to the U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment of the Business Combination

The Initial Merger may be a taxable event for U.S. Holders of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares and Northern Revival Warrants.

Subject to the limitations and qualifications described in “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Initial Merger to U.S. Holders,” the Initial Merger may qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code and, as a result, a U.S. Holder would not recognize gain or loss on the exchange of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, or Northern Revival Warrants for PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Warrants, as applicable, pursuant to the Initial Merger.

However, U.S. Holders of Northern Revival securities who would be treated as 5 Percent Holders, and who do not enter into a GRA under applicable Treasury Regulations, may recognize gain (but not loss) as a result of the Initial Merger if Section 367(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder apply to the Business Combination or if otherwise required under the PFIC rules. Section 367(a) of the Code may apply to the Initial Merger if PubCo transfers the assets it acquires from Northern Revival pursuant to the Business Combination to certain subsidiary corporations in connection with the Business Combination. The requirements under Section 367(a) are not discussed herein. If you believe that you will be a 5 Percent Holder, you are strongly urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the effect of the Initial Merger to you taking into account the rules of Section 367(a) of the Code (including the possibility of entering into a GRA under applicable Treasury Regulations).

Alternatively, if the Initial Merger does not qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code, then a U.S. Holder that exchanges its Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, or Northern Revival Warrants for the consideration under the Business Combination will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between (i) the fair market value of the PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants received and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, and Northern Revival Warrants exchanged therefor. For a more detailed discussion of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Initial Merger, see the section titled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Initial Merger to U.S. Holders” in this proxy statement/ prospectus. However, the rules under Section 367(a) and Section 368 of the Code are complex and there is limited guidance as to their application, particularly with regard to indirect stock transfers in cross-border reorganizations. Holders should consult their own tax advisors to determine the tax consequences to them (including the application and effect of any state, local or other income and other tax laws) of the Initial Merger.

In addition, U.S. Holders of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares and Northern Revival Warrants may be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences under the PFIC regime. Please see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — Passive Foreign Investment Company Status” for a more detailed discussion with respect to Northern Revival’s potential PFIC status and certain tax implications thereof.

Further, because the Initial Merger will occur immediately prior to the redemption of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, U.S. Holders exercising redemption rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of the Initial Merger. All U.S. Holders considering exercising redemption rights with respect to their Northern Revival Ordinary Shares are urged to consult with their tax advisors with respect to the potential tax consequences to them of the Initial Merger and exercise of redemption rights.

PubCo may be or become a PFIC during a U.S. Holder’s holding period, which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders.

If PubCo or any of its subsidiaries is a PFIC for any taxable year, or portion thereof, that is included in the holding period of a U.S. Holder of the PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Warrants, such U.S. Holder may be subject to certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences and may be subject to additional reporting requirements. There is no assurance that PubCo or its subsidiaries are not currently PFICs for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the taxable year of the Business Combination or for foreseeable future taxable years. Moreover, PubCo does not expect to provide a PFIC annual information statement for 2023 or going forward. Please see the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — Passive Foreign Investment Company Status” for a more detailed discussion with respect to PubCo’s potential PFIC status and certain tax implications thereof. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the possible application of the PFIC rules to holders of the PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants.

Table of Contents

A market for PubCo’s securities may not develop, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of Braiin’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 Northern Revival’s public shareholders, 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 shareholders.

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 Northern Revival’s strategic plan could be negatively impacted to the extent a significant number of shareholders choose to redeem their shares in connection with the Business Combination.

In the event the aggregate cash consideration Northern Revival 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 Business Combination Agreement exceeds the aggregate amount of cash available to Northern Revival, Northern Revival may be required to increase the financial leverage Northern Revival’s business would have to support. This may negatively impact Northern Revival’s ability to execute on its own future strategic plan.

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

No assurance can be given as to the price at which a shareholder 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 Northern Revival shareholder might realize in the future had the shareholder not elected to redeem such shareholder’s shares. Similarly, if a Northern Revival shareholder does not redeem its shares, the shareholder 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 shareholder can sell its Northern Revival Ordinary Shares in the future for a greater amount than the redemption price set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. Each Northern Revival shareholder should consult its own tax and/or financial advisor for assistance on how this may affect its individual situation.

If Northern Revival shareholders fail to comply with the redemption requirements specified in this proxy statement/prospectus, they will not be entitled to redeem their Northern Revival Ordinary Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in Northern Revival’s Trust Account.

Holders of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares 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 Extraordinary General Meeting. Shareholders 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 “Extraordinary General Meeting of Northern Revival Shareholders — 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 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares.

Risks Related to Northern Revival and the Business Combination

The Sponsor and Northern Revival’s directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may elect to purchase Northern Revival Ordinary Shares from Northern Revival’s shareholders, which may influence a vote on a proposed Business Combination and reduce the public float of Northern Revival’s issued and outstanding capital stock.

The Sponsor and Northern Revival’s directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase Northern Revival Ordinary Shares 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 shareholder, 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 Northern Revival’s directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from Northern Revival shareholders 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 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 of the Business Combination, or to satisfy the closing condition in the Business Combination Agreement that requires Northern Revival 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 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares and the number of beneficial holders of Northern Revival’s securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult for Braiin to obtain the quotation, listing or trading of its securities on a national securities exchange.

If a shareholder or a “group” of shareholders are deemed to hold in excess of 15% of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, such shareholder or group will lose the ability to redeem all such shares in excess of 15% of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares.

The Northern Revival Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that a shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder 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 Northern Revival IPO, which Northern Revival refers to as the “Excess Shares.” However, Northern Revival would not be restricting its shareholders’ ability to vote all of their shares (including Excess Shares) for or against its Business Combination. The inability of a shareholder to redeem the Excess Shares will reduce its influence over Northern Revival ability to complete its Business Combination and such shareholder could suffer a material loss on its investment in Northern Revival if it sells Excess Shares in open market transactions. Additionally, such shareholder will not receive redemption distributions with respect to the Excess Shares if Northern Revival completes its Business Combination. And as a result, such shareholder 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 Northern Revival shareholders, Northern Revival files a voluntary bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against Northern Revival that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of Northern Revival’s shareholders and the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by Northern Revival’s shareholders in connection with Northern Revival’s liquidation may be reduced.

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

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

Under the Cayman Islands Companies Act, shareholders 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 Northern Revival shareholders upon the redemption of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares in the event Northern Revival does not complete its initial Business Combination by up to February 4, 2024 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Northern Revival Memorandum and Articles of Association), may be considered a liquidation distribution under Cayman Islands law. However, it is Northern Revival’s intention to redeem its Northern Revival Ordinary Shares as soon as reasonably possible following February 4, 2024 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Northern Revival Memorandum and Articles of Association), in the event Northern Revival does not complete its Business Combination and, therefore, Northern Revival does not intend to comply with those procedures.

Because Northern Revival is a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and Northern Revival’s operations are limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from Northern Revival’s vendors (such as lawyers, investment bankers, etc.) or prospective target businesses. Northern Revival cannot assure you that it will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against it. As such, Northern Revival’s shareholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of Northern Revival’s shareholders may extend beyond the third anniversary of such date. Furthermore, if the pro rata portion of the Trust Account distributed to the Northern Revival shareholders upon the redemption of the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares in the event Northern Revival does not complete its initial Business Combination by February 4, 2024 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Northern Revival Memorandum and Articles of Association), is not considered a liquidation distribution under Cayman Islands law and such redemption distribution is deemed to be unlawful.

Risks Related to the Business Combination and Integration of Businesses

While Northern Revival and Braiin 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 PubCo’s business financial condition, results of operations and prospects. In addition, uncertainty about the effect of the Business Combination on Braiin systems, employees, customers, partners, and other third parties, including regulators, may have an adverse effect on PubCo. These uncertainties may impair PubCo’s ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel for a period of time after the completion of the Business Combination.

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

Braiin’s executive officers and directors have no or limited experience in the management of a U.S. publicly traded company. Braiin’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 PubCo. It is possible that PubCo 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.

Braiin’s and Northern Revival’s operations may be restricted during the pendency of the Business Combination pursuant to terms of the Business Combination Agreement.

Prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, Braiin 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 Northern Revival’s consent. As a result, Braiin 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.

Table of Contents

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 PubCo

Uncertainty about the effect of the Business Combination on Braiin’s business, employees, customers, third parties with whom Braiin has relationships, and other third parties, including regulators, may have an adverse effect on PubCo. These uncertainties may impair PubCo’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 PubCo, our business could be harmed.

PubCo may incur successor liabilities due to conduct arising prior to the completion of the Business Combination.

PubCo may be subject to certain liabilities of Northern Revival and Braiin. Northern Revival and Braiin 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 PubCo’s business and negatively affect its operating results or financial condition. The outcome of any litigation cannot be guaranteed, and adverse outcomes can affect Northern Revival, Braiin and PubCo negatively.

Risks Related to PubCo’s Securities Following the Business Combination

Currently, there is no public market for the ordinary shares of PubCo. Northern Revival shareholders cannot be sure that an active trading market will develop for or of the market price of the ordinary shares of PubCo they will receive or that PubCo will successfully obtain authorization for listing on the Nasdaq.

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, each ordinary share of Northern Revival will be converted into the right to receive one ordinary share of PubCo. PubCo is a newly formed entity and prior to this transaction it has not issued any securities in the U.S. markets or elsewhere nor has there been extensive information about it, its businesses, or its operations publicly available. Northern Revival, and PubCo have agreed to use their best efforts to cause the ordinary shares of PubCo to be issued in the Business Combination to be approved for listing on the Nasdaq prior to the Effective Time of the Business Combination. However, the listing of shares on the Nasdaq does not ensure that a market for the ordinary shares of PubCo will develop or the price at which the shares will trade. No assurance can be provided as to the demand for or trading price of the ordinary shares of PubCo following the closing of the Business Combination and the ordinary shares of PubCo may trade at a price less than the current market price of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares.

Even if PubCo is successful in developing a public market, there may not be enough liquidity in such market to enable shareholders to sell their ordinary shares. If a public market for the PubCo’s ordinary shares does not develop, investors may not be able to re-sell their ordinary shares, rendering their shares illiquid and possibly resulting in a complete loss of their investment. PubCo cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in PubCo will lead to the development of an active, liquid trading market. The trading price of and demand for the ordinary shares of PubCo following completion of the Business Combination and the development and continued existence of a market and favorable price for the ordinary shares of PubCo will depend on a number of conditions, including the development of a market following, including by analysts and other investment professionals, the businesses, operations, results, and prospects of PubCo, general market and economic conditions, governmental actions, regulatory considerations, legal proceedings, and developments or other factors. These and other factors may impair the development of a liquid market and the ability of investors to sell shares at an attractive price. These factors also could cause the market price and demand for the ordinary shares of PubCo to fluctuate substantially, which may limit or prevent investors from readily selling their shares and may otherwise affect negatively the price and liquidity of the ordinary shares of PubCo. Many of these factors and conditions are beyond the control of PubCo or PubCo shareholders.

PubCos share price may be volatile and could decline substantially.

The market price of PubCo’s ordinary shares may be volatile, both because of actual and perceived changes in the company’s financial results and prospects, and because of general volatility in the stock market. The factors that could cause fluctuations in PubCo’s share price may include, among other factors discussed in this section, the following:

        actual or anticipated variations in the financial results and prospects of the company or other companies in the same industry;

        changes in financial estimates by research analysts;

52

Table of Contents

        changes in the market valuations of other entertainment companies;

        announcements by PubCo or its competitors of new products and services, expansions, investments, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, or joint ventures;

        mergers or other business combinations involving PubCo;

        additions and departures of key personnel and senior management;

        changes in accounting principles;

        the passage of legislation or other developments affecting PubCo or its industry;

        the trading volume of PubCo’s ordinary shares in the public market;

        the release of lockup, escrow, or other transfer restrictions on PubCo’s outstanding equity securities or sales of additional equity securities;

        potential litigation or regulatory investigations;

        changes in economic conditions, including fluctuations in global and Chinese economies;

        financial market conditions;

        natural disasters, terrorist acts, acts of war, or periods of civil unrest; and

        the realization of some or all of the risks described in this section.

In addition, the stock markets have experienced significant price and trading volume fluctuations from time to time, and the market prices of the equity securities have been volatile and are sometimes subject to sharp price and trading volume changes. These broad market fluctuations may materially and adversely affect the market price of PubCo’s ordinary shares.

The sale or availability for sale of substantial amounts of ordinary shares could adversely affect their market price.

Sales of substantial amounts of the ordinary shares in the public market after the completion of the Business Combination, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of the ordinary shares and could materially impair PubCo’s ability to raise capital through equity offerings in the future. The ordinary shares listed after the Business Combination will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. In connection with the Business Combination, Braiin and its directors, executive officers, and existing shareholders will exchange the ordinary shares of Braiin held by them for PubCo Ordinary Shares upon the consummation of the Business Combination and have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to sell any PubCo Ordinary Shares for 180 days after the date of this prospectus without the prior written consent of PubCo. Ordinary Shares of PubCo to be held by Braiin’s certain existing shareholders after the Business Combination may be sold in the public market in the future subject to the restrictions in Rule 144 and Rule 701 under the Securities Act and the applicable lockup agreements.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about PubCo or its business, its ordinary shares price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for PubCo’s ordinary shares will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about PubCo or its business. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on PubCo. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of PubCo, the trading price for its ordinary shares would likely be negatively impacted. In the event securities or industry analysts initiate coverage, if one or more of the analysts who cover PubCo downgrade its securities or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about its business, its share price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of the Combined Company or fail to publish reports on the Combined Company, demand for its ordinary shares could decrease, which might cause its ordinary share price and trading volume to decline.

53

Table of Contents

If the benefits of the Business Combination do not meets the expectations of financial or industry analysts, the market price of PubCo’s securities may decline after the Business Combination.

The market price of PubCo’s securities may decline as a result of the Business Combination if:

        PubCo does not achieve the perceived benefits of the business combination as rapidly as, or to the extent anticipated by, financial or industry analysts; or

        the effect of the Business Combination on the financial statements is not consistent with the expectations of financial or industry analysts.

Accordingly, investors may experience a loss as a result of declining share prices.

Risks Related to PubCo Operating as a Public Company

You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through U.S. courts may be limited, because PubCo is incorporated under Cayman Islands law.

PubCo is a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. PubCo’s corporate affairs are governed by its memorandum and articles of association and the laws of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against PubCo’s directors, actions by PubCo’s minority shareholders and the fiduciary duties of PubCo’s directors to PubCo under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from the common law of England, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding, on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of PubCo’s shareholders and the fiduciary duties of PubCo’s directors under Cayman Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands have a less developed body of securities laws than the United States. Some U.S. states, such as Delaware, have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law than the Cayman Islands. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standings to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States.

Shareholders of Cayman Islands business companies like PubCo have no general rights under Cayman Islands law to inspect corporate records or to obtain copies of lists of shareholders of these companies. PubCo’s directors have discretion under its articles of association that will become effective immediately prior to completion of the Business Combination to determine whether or not, and under what conditions, its corporate records may be inspected by its shareholders, but are not obliged to make them available to its shareholders. This may make it more difficult for you to obtain the information needed to establish any facts necessary for a shareholder motion or to solicit proxies from other shareholders in connection with a proxy contest.

As a result of all of the above, PubCo’s public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by PubCo’s management, users of the board of directors, or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a company incorporated in the United States.

Future changes to U.S. and non-U.S. tax laws could adversely affect PubCo.

The U.S. Congress and other government agencies in jurisdictions where PubCo and its affiliates will do business have had an extended focus on issues related to the taxation of multinational corporations. One example is in the area of “base erosion and profit shifting”, including situations where payments are made between affiliates from a jurisdiction with high tax rates to a jurisdiction with lower tax rates. As a result, the tax laws in the countries in which PubCo and its affiliates do business could change on a prospective or retroactive basis, and any such changes could adversely affect PubCo and its affiliates.

EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF NORTHERN REVIVAL SHAREHOLDERS

General

Northern Revival is furnishing this proxy statement/prospectus to its shareholders as part of the solicitation of proxies by its Board for use at the Extraordinary General Meeting to be held on            , 2024, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. This proxy statement/prospectus is first being furnished to you on or about            , 2024. This proxy statement/prospectus provides you with information you need to know to be able to vote or instruct how your vote shall be cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Date, Time and Place

The Extraordinary General Meeting will be held at ______________ and virtually at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on            , 2024, or at such other time, on such other date and at such other place to which the meeting may be adjourned or postponed.

Voting Power; Record Date

You will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting if you owned Northern Revival Ordinary Shares as of the close of business on            , 2024, which is the Record Date for the Extraordinary General Meeting. You are entitled to one vote for Northern Revival Ordinary Share 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 7,947,744 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, including 1,910,244 public shares outstanding, and 6,037,500 founders shares. Northern Revival does not expect to issue any additional shares of ordinary shares on or before the Record Date.

Vote of the Sponsor, Directors and Officers

In connection with the Northern Revival IPO, Northern Revival entered into agreements with each of its Sponsor, directors and officers pursuant to which each agreed to vote any shares of ordinary shares owned by it in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. These agreements apply to the Sponsor as it relates to the founder shares. Our Sponsor with our directors and officers currently own 6,037,500 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 75.96% of the 7,947,744 issued and outstanding Northern Revival Ordinary Shares. Our Sponsor, Northern Revival Initial Shareholders, and our directors and officers have agreed to vote all of their founder shares and all of their shares of Ordinary shares (including, but not limited to, shares of Ordinary shares sold in the Private Placement) in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. As a result, assuming there is a quorum at the Extraordinary General Meeting, we will not need any of our public shares, to be voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. The remaining proposals may be passed without any votes in favor by holders of our public shares.

Registering for the Extraordinary General Meeting

Pre-registration for virtual attendance at the Extraordinary General Meeting is recommended but is not required in order to attend through the following website: [•].

Any shareholder wishing to attend the virtual meeting should register for the meeting by            , 2024. To register for the Extraordinary General Meeting, please follow these instructions as applicable to the nature of your ownership of our ordinary shares:

        If your shares are registered in your name with [•] and you wish to attend the online-only Extraordinary General Meeting, go to [•], enter the 14-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.

55

Table of Contents

        Beneficial shareholders (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 [•]. Beneficial shareholders 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 Extraordinary General Meeting. After contacting [•], a beneficial holder will receive an e-mail prior to the meeting with a link and instructions for entering the virtual meeting. Beneficial shareholders should contact [•] 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 Northern Revival shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the Extraordinary General Meeting if a majority of the ordinary shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General 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 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the holders of issued and outstanding Northern Revival Ordinary Shares who attend and vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting as of the Record Date. Accordingly, a Northern Revival shareholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Extraordinary General Meeting or an abstention will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on the Business Combination Proposal.

The approval of the remaining Proposals (consisting of the PubCo Charter Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal) requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Accordingly, a Northern Revival shareholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Extraordinary General Meeting or the failure of a Northern Revival shareholder 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 shareholder’s shares not being counted towards the number of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares 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 PubCo Charter Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal. Abstentions of persons appearing at the Extraordinary General Meeting likewise will also have no effect on the outcome of these proposals.

The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement will be consummated only if the Condition Precedent Proposals (consisting of the Business Combination Proposal, the PubCo Charter Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal) are approved at the Extraordinary General Meeting. The Adjournment Proposal is not a Condition Precedent Proposal 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 4, 2024 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Northern Revival Memorandum and Articles of Association), we will be required to dissolve and liquidate our Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the public shareholders.

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 shareholders 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

56

Table of Contents

not voting your shares is referred to as a “broker non-vote.” Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on a particular proposal.

Recommendation of Northern Revival’s Board

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

        vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal;

        vote “FOR” the PubCo Charter Proposal;

        vote “FOR” the Incentive Plan Proposal; and

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

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 shareholder. These interests include, among other things:

        If we do not consummate an initial business combination by February 4, 2024, the 6,037,499 Class A ordinary shares and one Class B ordinary share held by the sponsor will be worthless (as the Sponsor has waived liquidation rights with respect to such shares). Northern Revival and the Sponsor have agreed that the Sponsor will forfeit 1,500,000 founders shares in connection with the Closing leaving 4,537,500 founders shares at Closing. Based on the price of the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares as of December 1, 2023 of $10.84, these shares have a value of $49,186,500 as compared to the original purchase price of $25,000.

        If we do not consummate an initial business combination by February 4, 2024, the 4,553,334 private placement warrants will be worthless. Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, at the Closing, those warrants will be cancelled in exchange for a payment to the Sponsor of $2,500,000.

        In connection with the IPO, the sponsor agreed that it will be liable under certain circumstances to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of any third party for services rendered or products sold to Northern Revival or prospective target businesses with which Northern Revival has entered into certain agreements;

        All rights specified in the charter relating to the right of officers and directors to be indemnified by Northern Revival, and of Northern Revival’s officers and directors to be exculpated from monetary liability with respect to prior acts or omissions, will continue after an initial business combination and, if no initial business combination is completed by February 4, 2024, so that Northern Revival liquidates, Northern Revival will not be able to perform its obligations to its officers and directors under those provisions;

        None of Northern Revival’s officers or directors has received any cash compensation for services rendered to Northern Revival, and all of the current officers and directors are expected to continue to serve in their roles at least through the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting and may continue to serve following any potential initial business combination and receive compensation thereafter; and

        The sponsor and Northern Revival’s officers and directors and their respective affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them related to identifying, investigating, negotiating and completing an initial business combination and, if we do not consummate an initial business combination by February 4, 2024, they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement so that Northern Revival will most likely be unable to reimburse such expenses.

In light of the foregoing, the Sponsor and Northern Revival’s directors and executive officers will receive material benefits from the completion of the Business Combination and may be incentivized to complete the Business Combination with Braiin rather than liquidate even if (i) Braiin is a less favorable company or (ii) the terms

57

Table of Contents

of the Business Combination are less favorable to stockholders. As a result, the Sponsor and Northern Revival’s directors and officers may have interests in the completion of the Business Combination that are materially different than, and may conflict with, the interests of other stockholders.

Northern Revival’s Board was aware of and considered these interests and facts, among other matters, in evaluating and unanimously approving the Business Combination and in recommending to Northern Revival’s stockholders that they approve the Business Combination.

Voting Your Shares

Each Northern Revival Ordinary Shares 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 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares at the Extraordinary General 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 Northern Revival’s Board “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, the PubCo Charter Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal (if presented). Votes received after a matter has been voted upon at the Extraordinary General Meeting will not be counted.

        You Can Attend the Extraordinary General 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 Northern Revival 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 Northern Revival’s secretary in writing before the Extraordinary General Meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or

        you may virtually attend the Extraordinary General 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 Extraordinary General Meeting

The Extraordinary General Meeting has been called only to consider the Business Combination Proposal, the PubCo Charter Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal. Under Northern Revival’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, other than procedural matters incident to the conduct of the Extraordinary General Meeting, no other matters may be considered at the Extraordinary General Meeting if they are not included in this proxy statement/prospectus, which serves as the notice of the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to the Northern Revival Memorandum and Articles of Association, 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 Northern Revival 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 Northern Revival’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 $[•] on _______, 2024, the pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account for the redemption of public Northern Revival Ordinary Shares was approximately $[•] 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         , 2024 (two (2) business days before the Extraordinary General Meeting), tender your shares physically or electronically and submit a request in writing that we redeem your public shares for cash to Continental, Northern Revival’s transfer agent, at the following address:

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
1 State Street, 30th Floor
New York, NY 10004
Email: mzimkind@continentalstock.com

        deliver your public shares either physically or electronically through DTC to Northern Revival’s transfer agent at least two (2) business days before the Extraordinary General Meeting. Shareholders 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 Northern Revival’s understanding that shareholders should generally allot at least two (2) weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, Northern Revival does not have any control over this process and it may take longer than two (2) weeks. Shareholders 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.

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 Northern Revival’s consent, until the Closing of the Business Combination. If you delivered your shares for redemption to Northern Revival’s

transfer agent and decide within the required timeframe not to exercise your redemption rights, you may request that Northern Revival’s transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting Northern Revival’s transfer agent at the phone number or address listed above.

Prior to exercising redemption rights, shareholders should verify the market price of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their ordinary shares 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 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares 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 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares when you wish to sell your shares.

If you exercise your redemption rights, your Northern Revival Ordinary Shares 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 Braiin, 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 Northern Revival does not consummate an initial Business Combination by February 4, 2024 (or such later date as may be provided by amendment or extension in accordance with the Northern Revival Memorandum and Articles of Association) Northern Revival will be required to dissolve and liquidate its Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the public shareholders and the warrants will expire worthless.

Northern Revival Appraisal Rights

Northern Revival shareholders are entitled to give notice to Northern Revival prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting that they wish to dissent to the Business Combination to the effect of which would be that such dissenting shareholders would be entitled to the payment of fair market value of his or her shares of Northern Revival if they follow the procedures set out in the Companies Act. It is Northern Revival’s view that such fair market value would equal the amount which Northern Revival shareholders would obtain if they exercise their redemption rights as described herein.

Proxy Solicitation

Northern Revival is soliciting proxies on behalf of its Board. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone, by facsimile, on the Internet or in person. Northern Revival will file with the SEC all scripts and other electronic communications as proxy soliciting materials.

Northern Revival will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the Extraordinary General Meeting. Northern Revival has engaged Advantage Proxy to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Extraordinary General Meeting. Northern Revival has agreed to pay Advantage Proxy a fee of $10,000 plus disbursements. Northern Revival 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.

Northern Revival will also reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares and in obtaining voting instructions from those owners. Northern Revival’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 shareholders to approve the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination. Our shareholders should carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus in its entirety for more detailed information concerning the Business Combination Agreement, which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus. You are urged to read the Business Combination 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 ordinary shares.

Business Combination Agreement

On October 1, 2023, we entered into the Amended and Restated Business Combination Agreement with our Sponsor, Braiin, PubCo, and the Braiin Supporting Shareholders who collectively own 100% of the outstanding Braiin Shares. Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, following the Initial Merger, the Business Combination between Northern Revival and Braiin will be effected as a Share Exchange in which Braiin shareholders exchange 100% of their Braiin Shares for a pro rata portion of PubCo Shares with an aggregate value of $572 million. The number of shares to be issued will be based upon a per share value of $10.00. The aggregate value is subject to adjustment up or down based upon certain indebtedness and cash on hand of Braiin as set forth in its audited financial statements. Prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, Braiin will acquire PowerTec. Following the Share Exchange, Braiin will continue as a subsidiary of the Combined Company. We refer to Northern Revival after giving effect to the Business Combination, as “PubCo” or the “Combined Company.”

The purpose of the Initial Merger is to establish a Cayman Islands company that would be a “foreign private issuer” as that term is defined under the Exchange Act. As a result of the Initial Merger, the Northern Revival shareholders will no longer be shareholders of Northern Revival and (other than the Northern Revival shareholders who exercise their redemption rights) will become shareholders of PubCo, a foreign private issuer.

As a foreign private issuer, PubCo will be exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act, prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and its officers, directors and principal shareholders will be exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, PubCo will not be required under the Exchange Act to file quarterly periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC, and will not be required to disclose in its periodic reports all of the information that U.S. domestic issuers are required to disclose. PubCo will also be permitted to follow corporate governance practices in accordance with Cayman Islands law in lieu of most of the corporate governance rules set forth by Nasdaq. As a result, PubCo’s corporate governance practices differ in some respects from those required to be followed by U.S. companies listed on a national securities exchange.

Upon the approval of the Business Combination Agreement, Northern Revival and PubCo will execute the Plan of Merger, which shall be filed with the Registrar of the Cayman Islands with certain other documents on or prior to the closing of the Initial Merger. At the effective time of the Initial Merger, Northern Revival will merge with and into PubCo. The separate corporate existence of Northern Revival will cease and PubCo will continue as the surviving corporation. In connection with the Initial Merger, all outstanding Northern Revival Units will separate into their individual components of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares and Northern Revival Warrants and will cease separate existence and trading. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the current equity holdings of the Northern Revival shareholders shall be exchanged as follows:

(i)     Each Northern Revival Ordinary Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Initial Merger (other than any redeemed shares) will automatically be cancelled and cease to exist and, for each Northern Revival Ordinary Share, PubCo shall issue to each Northern Revival shareholder (other than Northern Revival shareholders who exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination or the PubCo Charter Proposal) one validly issued PubCo Ordinary Share, which, unless explicitly stated herein, shall be fully paid; and

(ii)    Each whole Northern Revival Warrant issued and outstanding immediately prior to effective time of the Initial Merger will convert into a PubCo Warrant to purchase one PubCo Ordinary Share (or equivalent portion thereof). The PubCo Warrants will have substantially the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Northern Revival Warrants.

Simultaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Northern Revival and Braiin entered into separate support agreements with the Braiin Supporting Shareholders and the Sponsor pursuant to which the Braiin Supporting Shareholders and the Sponsor have agreed to vote their Braiin Shares and Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, respectively, in favor of the Business Combination and against any competing acquisition proposal, and not to solicit any competing acquisition proposal. In addition, the Sponsor has agreed to surrender 1,500,000 founder shares immediately prior to the Closing and to waive: (i) redemption rights with respect to its Northern Revival shares in connection with the Business Combination, and (ii) the right to have any working capital loans extended to Northern Revival converted into warrants.

Share Exchange Consideration

The total consideration to be paid at Closing by PubCo to Braiin security holders (the “Exchange Shares”) will be payable in PubCo Ordinary Shares valued at (i) $572 million, minus (ii) the indebtedness (excluding Indebtedness under any Company Convertible Security that will be converted into Company Shares prior to or at the Closing) of Braiin and its Subsidiaries as of the date of the Business Combination Agreement, plus (iii) cash and cash equivalents of Braiin and its Subsidiaries as of Closing. For purposes of determining the number of Exchange Shares to be issued, the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares will be valued at $10.00 per share.

Representations, Warranties and Covenants

The Business Combination Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants with respect to, among other things, operation of their respective businesses prior to consummation of the Business Combination and efforts to satisfy conditions to consummation of the Business Combination.

Entities and funds managed by Meteora own equity interests in the Sponsor.

The Forward Purchase Agreement was entered into on March 16, 2023, prior to the signing and announcement of the Business Combination Agreement. Pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement, Meteora has agreed to make purchases of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares: (a) in open-market purchases through a broker after the date of Northern Revival’s redemption deadline in connection with the vote of Northern Revival shareholders to approve the Business Combination from holders of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, including those who elect to redeem Northern Revival Ordinary Shares and subsequently revoked their prior elections to redeem (the “Recycled Shares”) and (b) directly from Northern Revival, newly-issued Northern Revival Ordinary Shares (the “Additional Shares” and, together with the Recycled Shares, the “Subject Shares”). The aggregate total Subject Shares will be up to 2,900,000 (but not more than 9.9% of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares outstanding on a post-transaction basis) (the “Maximum Number of Shares”). Meteora has agreed to waive any redemption rights with respect to any Subject Shares in connection with the Business Combination.

Table of Contents

Meteora may, at its discretion and at any time following the closing of the Business Combination, provide an Optional Early Termination notice (“OET Notice”) and pay to the Combined Company the product of the “Reset Price” and the number of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares listed on the OET Notice. The Reset Price shall initially equal the Initial Price but shall be adjusted on the first scheduled trading date of each two-week period commencing on the first week following the 30th day after the closing of the Business Combination to the lowest of (i) the current Reset Price, (ii) the Initial Price and (iii) the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares of the prior two week period.

The Forward Purchase Agreement matures on the earlier to occur of (a) three years after the closing of the Business Combination, (b) the date specified by Meteora in a written notice delivered at Meteora’s discretion if (i) the VWAP of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares during 10 out of 30 consecutive trading days is at or below $5.00 per Share, or (ii) the Shares are delisted from a national securities exchange. At maturity, Meteora will be entitled to receive maturity consideration in cash or shares. The maturity consideration will equal the product of (1) (a) the number of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares less (b) the number of Terminated Shares, multiplied by (2) $1.50 in the event of cash or, in the event of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, $2.00; and $2.50, solely in the event of a registration failure.

The Forward Purchase Agreement has been structured, and all activity in connection with such agreement has been undertaken, to comply with the requirements of all tender offer regulations applicable to the Business Combination, including Rule 14e-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The Forward Purchase Agreement may be terminated by any of the parties thereto if the Business Combination Agreement is terminated pursuant to its terms prior to the closing of the Business Combination.

Northern Revival has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless Meteora, its affiliates, assignees and other parties described therein (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against all losses, claims, damages and liabilities under the Forward Purchase Agreement (excluding liabilities relating to the manner in which Meteora sells any shares it owns) and reimburse the Indemnified Parties for their reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such liabilities, subject to certain exceptions described therein, and has agreed to contribute to any amounts required to be paid by any Indemnified Parties if such indemnification is unavailable or insufficient to hold such party harmless.

Joseph Tonnos, a Principal and Associate Portfolio Manager at Meteora Capital, LLC, an investor in the Sponsor, served on the Northern Revival board of directors from February 9, 2023 until his resignation on March 15, 2023. Mr. Tonnos promptly disclosed this conflict of interest to the board of directors of Northern Revival and refrained from participating in any discussions or any vote regarding the Forward Purchase Agreement or the transactions contemplated therein. Mr. Tonnos resigned from the Northern Revival board of directors prior to any approval of the Forward Purchase Agreement. Such resignation was not a result of disagreement with Northern Revival on any matter relating to its operations, policies or practices.

Background of the Business Combination

Northern Revival is a special purpose acquisition company that was incorporated on November 4, 2020, and established with the objective of executing a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or another similar business combination with one or more businesses. The Business Combination with Braiin is the result of a proactive search for a potential business combination transaction, using the network and investment and transaction experience of Northern Revival’s management team and Board. While Northern Revival’s search for a prospective business target was not restricted to any specific industry or geographic region, Northern Revival aimed to focus on tech-enabled industries. Northern Revival initially identified 1,000 companies, evaluated approximately 250 targets and met with and conducted preliminary diligence on 42 companies before arriving at a business agreement with Braiin. During this period, Northern Revival narrowed its focus to 6 other companies and ultimately concluded Braiin as the target for this business combination.

On February 4, 2021, Northern Revival completed its IPO, grossing $241.5 million in proceeds (including the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, but prior to underwriting discounts, commissions, and offering expenses). Concurrently with the consummation of the IPO, Northern Revival executed a private placement (the “Private Placement”) in which it sold 4,553,334 Private Warrants to the Sponsor at a price of $1.50 per Private Warrant (for a total purchase price of approximately $6.8 million). Before the IPO, neither Northern Revival nor anyone on its behalf had identified any particular business combination or initiated or partook in any substantive discussions, formal or otherwise, with any business combination target concerning a business combination with Northern Revival.

65

Table of Contents

After the completion of the IPO, Northern Revival’s officers and directors initiated a proactive, targeted search for an initial pool of potential business combination targets by leveraging the networks of its officers, directors, and Sponsor affiliates, which included investment bankers, private equity firms, and hedge funds, as well as numerous other business connections. Northern Revival was also approached by several individuals and entities regarding business combination opportunities. Northern Revival’s due diligence, evaluation, and analysis process incorporated, among other things, scrutiny of each target’s product pipelines, potential product or service offerings, technology, market potential, and financial information, each based on publicly available data, other market research available to the management team, and the management team’s preexisting knowledge of the potential targets due to existing relationships and networks. In the case of Braiin, Northern Revival used its knowledge of the agriculture technology industry and Braiin’s business, technologies, and potential product offerings.

As described in the prospectus below was the criteria that Northern Revival used in evaluating opportunities:

Consistent with our business strategy, we identified companies with compelling growth potential and a combination of the characteristics detailed below. We specifically targeted opportunities where we could leverage Northern Revival’s differentiated operating capabilities to accelerate growth or increase profitability. We used these criteria and guidelines in evaluating acquisition opportunities. Our intent was to acquire one or more companies or assets that we believed had the following attributes:

        B2B and B2B2C software and tech-enabled services businesses. We focused on companies that are reshaping business information technology by providing critical, high-value-add solutions via software or tech-enabled services. We believe such companies are benefiting from the digitalization, cloud-migration, and proliferation of data across the enterprise.

        Healthy end markets with strong long-term secular trends. We targeted companies that operated in markets with attractive long-term growth prospects and reasonable overall size or potential.

        Minimal technology risk with high switching costs. We evaluated companies that provide or automate core solutions required to operate a business in their target markets, and whose solutions are difficult to displace due to their mission-critical nature. These solutions are characterized by systemic integration within end customer organizations, competitive differentiation and insulation from future disruptive technologies.

        Consistent and compelling growth prospects and significant recurring revenues. We evaluated companies with attractive growth vectors that demonstrate a high level of recurring revenue and strong customer retention rates. We sought companies that have the ability to generate strong revenue growth through new customer acquisition, cross-selling to existing customers, and acquisitions of complementary companies and products.

        Attractive, inherently profitable businesses with high operating leverage. We evaluated companies that we believe possess not only an established business model and sustainable competitive advantages, but also inherently profitable unit economics.

        Knowledgeable management teams with relevant industry experience and a proven track record. We targeted companies with expert management teams that have specialized knowledge of their respective industry sector and are active leaders in developing or deploying technology to provide a solution for a problem or challenge within their respective industry sector.

        Established business models. We targeted companies with proven business models and a demonstrated ability to scale by extending product portfolios into new markets.

        Benefit from being a public company. We focused on companies that could benefit from being publicly traded and can effectively utilize access to capital and the public profile associated with being a publicly-traded company.

        Platform that can become a consolidator. We focused on companies that can benefit from our team’s experience driving growth through strategic add-on acquisitions. These companies are typically in fragmented markets with many participants offering overlapping solutions.

As Northern Revival started the process of appraising potential targets for a business combination, the management and certain directors received interest from several companies operating in various other sectors that weren’t initially within Northern Revival’s scope. During a regular call with the Board of Directors, it was collectively agreed to broaden their evaluation of target companies.

The following encapsulates a comprehensive overview of the discussions with Northern Revival’s eight primary business combination candidates:

Target 1:

In February 2021, subsequent to the IPO, Northern Revival was introduced to Target 1 through a relationship at a private equity firm. Target 1 was already in discussions with other possible acquirors, but the existing relationships, company profile and interest in our expertise allowed us to conduct thorough diligence. Northern Revival met with the board and management over the course of a month to understand the needs and direction of the company. Northern Revival discussed potential with a long history of investing in vertical software and they understood the value proposition, stickiness, and organic/inorganic growth opportunities that a market leader like Target 1 could access. The Target had the revenue, ARR profile, organic growth and EBITDA margins that would allow for a successful outcome. In addition, Northern Revival management had a prior investment in a company that had a long-standing relationship with the private equity firm. This investment was a key advantage for Northern Revival as there were several tangential opportunities and learnings to enhance the value proposition for Target 1. Northern Revival submitted what it believed was a competitive bid offer in April 2021. After a few weeks of deliberation, the Target ultimately decided to not move forward with a SPAC offer and, instead, elected to raise additional capital from a private equity firm, ultimately remaining private.

Target 2:

In April 2021, a firm solicited Northern Revival to engage in a private investment, seeking to leverage Northern Revival’s capabilities for its intended public offering. Target 2 demonstrated a unique software system for the real estate industry and positioned itself as a leading platform for value creation within the ecosystem.

During that engagement, Northern Revival dedicated significant resources to evaluate the company’s management and observed consistent strong performance in key growth, retention, and profitability metrics without the support of institutional funding. After conducting an extensive due diligence process, Northern Revival concluded that Target 2 was well-positioned for growth within the notably fragmented real estate market.

In the evaluation process, Northern Revival consulted numerous individuals from its expert network, including board members and associates. All of these confirmed the quality of the investment prospect. However, following a series of deliberations, the board of Northern Revival determined that the two-pronged strategy of initial investment and subsequent public offering presented considerable complexities due to Target 2’s organizational structure.

In May/June 2021 Northern Revival chose to discontinue primary discussions for a potential business combination. However, it remained in close contact with the company to potentially explore future opportunities.

Target 3:

In April 2021, a leading-tier investment bank approached Northern Revival with an invitation to participate in a SPAC process for a company identified as Target 3. Target 3 operated in the software food services sector and boasted a world-class leadership team steered by its original founder.

The investment bank extended an invitation to Northern Revival to partake in the bidding process, which encompassed preliminary due diligence and management interviews. Following the initial screening, both the management team and the investment bank shortlisted Northern Revival as one of three finalists, from an original roster of approximately 15 potential sponsors who had expressed interest.

To further evaluate the opportunity, Northern Revival executed a series of detailed interviews with management, which included on-site visits and third-party references. Furthermore, Northern Revival engaged with board members and advisors whose knowledge and expertise could potentially add significant value to Target 3.

Target 3, which showcased positive EBITDA and robust growth, found the years of market experience from Northern Revival’s network, advisors, and management, as well as the prospective client base Northern Revival could offer, extremely appealing. These factors aligned seamlessly with Northern Revival’s investment thesis.

Upon a thorough examination of the firm’s financials and management team, Northern Revival discerned that Target 3 held a strong competitive advantage, was led by a team with deep industry expertise and a commendable track record, had received positive customer feedback, and boasted leading-edge software development along with healthy financials.

As a result, Northern Revival extended a nonbinding letter of interest to Target 3 through the investment bank. Following further discussions, Target 3 decided against pursuing the SPAC option, opting to retain its private status. Nonetheless, Northern Revival preserved its relationship with Target 3, keeping the door open for potential opportunities in the future.

Target 4:

In June 2021, an invitation was extended to Northern Revival to participate in the evaluation process of an expanding B2B financial services technology company, known as Target 4. The management of Northern Revival shared a close rapport with the leading investment bankers representing the target company. The investment bankers perceived that Northern Revival’s management could impart essential expertise to Target 4 and enhance its already comprehensive management team.

For a span of two months, Northern Revival carried out due diligence to assess growth opportunities, financial performance, and the cross-selling potential of Target 4’s products. Following the investigation, Northern Revival determined that Target 4 was a highly robust company with substantial growth prospects.

During the process, Northern Revival facilitated extensive discussions with potential PIPE investors and successfully secured commitments for an investment ranging from $150 to $200 million. In July 2021, Northern Revival received information that it had been selected as one of the two contenders advancing in the bidding process.

Throughout the course, Northern Revival persistently refined its bid, identified potential external board member candidates, and finalized the financing arrangements. However, in August 2021, Northern Revival was informed that another sponsor, who had offered a significantly higher valuation in the final bid, was awarded the deal. Northern Revival was asked to consider a re-bid, however the management and board of Northern Revival remained steadfast in their commitment to providing a valuation that would be upheld in the public markets, to sustain long-term growth.

Target 5:

In October 2021, an investment bank engaged in facilitating mergers and acquisitions for Target 5 approached Northern Revival with a proposition to make Target 5’s initial public offering (IPO) through its special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). Target 5 operated as a software and financial services firm within the food services industry, a sector in which our company, possesses significant expertise. Target 5 demonstrated a financial profile that aligned with Northern Revival’s core criteria, exhibiting robust revenue and EBITDA growth, along with potential for product expansion. Moreover, Target 5 had a major private equity investor seeking to divest a majority stake in light of the conclusion of their first fund’s lifecycle.

Northern Revival conducted a thorough assessment, including interviews with key customers and management, revealing strong client retention and outstanding management feedback. As part of the due diligence and bidding process, Northern Revival secured an external debt facility worth approximately $100 million from a Tier I financial institution. This facility was intended to support the private investment in public equity (PIPE) process and provide financing for the company.

After months of negotiations, in December 2021, Target 5 identified Northern Revival as the preferred party to proceed with a Business Combination, should the company decide to move forward in that direction. Northern Revival maintained a close relationship with Target 5, offering strategic guidance and identifying growth opportunities.

However, in March 2022, Target 5 determined that the optimal course of action was to remain a private company and proceed with a majority sale to a private equity firm. While Northern Revival was regarded as a preferred party by Target 5, the challenging macroeconomic conditions ultimately presented insurmountable obstacles for them.

Target 6:

In February 2022, leveraging a proprietary relationship from its management, Northern Revival initiated contact with Target 6 to explore a potential business opportunity. Target 6 operated as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider in the real estate sector, a field that aligned closely with Northern Revival’s core market expertise. At the time of our engagement, Target 6 was in the process of devising a financing strategy and expressed an interest in establishing a relationship with a SPAC.

A key member of Northern Revival’s board facilitated an introduction to Target 6’s CEO, enabling in-depth discussions regarding the potential synergies between Northern Revival and Target 6. While Target 6 boasted a strong revenue profile and exhibited impressive earnings growth, the CEO expressed particular interest in the client relationships that Northern Revival could bring to the table. Drawing from the collective experiences of Northern Revival’s team, it was evident that achieving substantial growth would not be overly challenging, as many of the individuals within Northern Revival’s advisory network had the potential to become clients of Target 6.

One fundamental aspect of Target 6’s business plan involved a sizable merger and acquisition (M&A) opportunity, which had the potential to double the size of the company. However, it became apparent that the timing of this transaction would extend beyond the time constraints imposed by the SPAC. Consequently, it was determined that pursuing this course of action would not yield a favorable outcome.

Moreover, there were two verticals within Target 6 that had yet to be proven, although the underlying thesis held that these areas would experience rapid growth, irrespective of Northern Revival’s involvement. Northern Revival submitted a bid that aligned with current industry comparables. However, it is worth noting that the prevailing market conditions at the time were not conducive to favorable valuations. Consequently, Target 6 opted not to proceed with the valuation proposed by Northern Revival.

Target 7:

In April 2022, a leading investment bank initiated a process to facilitate the public listing of a SaaS company. Given that a traditional initial public offering (IPO) was not a viable option, the company decided to pursue a SPAC as its chosen route to enter the public markets. Recognizing the management of Northern Revival’s track record and successful collaborations in both SPAC transactions and previous engagements, the investment bank held a positive view of Northern Revival’s capabilities. Furthermore, Target 7, the SaaS company in question, had established multiple proprietary relationships within the Northern Revival network, highlighting a strong cultural alignment between the parties involved.

Northern Revival dedicated two months to a comprehensive due diligence process, enlisting the expertise of tech specialists to thoroughly analyze Target 7’s technological differentiators. Significantly, over half of Target 7’s client base exhibited deep engagement with the company, demonstrating a history of sustained partnerships lasting over five years, characterized by robust revenue retention. These qualities proved highly appealing to Northern Revival, affirming the attractiveness of Target 7 as a potential investment opportunity.

Throughout the evaluation period, Northern Revival conducted multiple meetings with Target 7’s management team, fostering a strong sense of commitment and establishing a cohesive bond between the two entities. These interactions occurred both virtually and in-person, underscoring Northern Revival’s dedication to ensuring a thorough understanding of Target 7’s operations and strategic vision.

In order to support Target 7’s growth and facilitate its transition to the public markets, Northern Revival successfully secured financing exceeding $200 million. This financing comprised a combination of private investment in public equity (PIPE), forward purchase offers, and equity commitments. The level of performance and support provided by Northern Revival garnered high praise from Target 7, particularly given the prevailing market dynamics at the time.

By June 2022, Target 7 narrowed down the pool of potential partners to three parties, including Northern Revival, to continue the collaboration. Following the submission of final bids, Northern Revival ultimately lost the opportunity due to a valuation discrepancy. The winning party’s bid exceeded that of Northern Revival, leading to their selection by Target 7.

Target 8:

In July 2022, an advisor from Northern Revival initiated contact with the CEO of a real estate investment manager, Target 8, to explore the possibility of an investment. Target 8, a US-based investment manager specializing in European real estate asset acquisitions, sought a recapitalization strategy and access to public markets through both debt and equity offerings. Due to certain circumstances, such as an unfeasible initial public offering (IPO) option, Target 8 expressed interest in exploring alternative avenues. Recognizing the potential of the investment opportunity, Northern Revival engaged in an extensive due diligence process to assess the viability of a public offering for Target 8.

During the meticulous evaluation, Northern Revival scrutinized various aspects of Target 8’s business, with a particular focus on assessing the net operating income (NOI) and capitalization rate (cap rate) of the company. These key financial indicators provided valuable insights into the stability and foundation of the business, forming a basis for a potential successful public offering. Consequently, Northern Revival’s proposed terms that were deemed acceptable by Target 8, and significant efforts were invested into progressing towards a favorable transaction.

However, as part of the rigorous diligence process, tax advisors uncovered intricate complexities related to a cross-border real estate transaction between the United States and Europe. These tax challenges would have potentially adversely impacted all parties involved and ultimately negated the advantages for Target 8’s existing investors. Upon careful consideration and consultation with management and the board, it was decided in August 2022 to terminate the discussions with Northern Revival and redirect efforts towards pursuing alternative opportunities that had better profiles.

This decision reflected a prudent approach to avoid potential tax-related complications and to ensure the best interests of Target 8 and its stakeholders. Despite the conclusion of discussions, Northern Revival remained committed to identifying and exploring other promising investment prospects aligned with its investment objectives.

In August 2022, Natraj Balasubramaniam, CEO and Co-founder of Braiin, initiated a strategic conversation with Manpreet Singh and Aemish Shah from Northern Revival. The discussion centered around the exploration of a potential merger between Braiin and Northern Revival. Concurrently, Braiin was considering a public listing on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), but an opportunity to go public via the Nasdaq in the US presented a more advantageous route. The dialogue focused on the potential for business expansion and the global opportunity in agriculture technology. Northern Revival’s network could offer valuable capital market experience and global investor outreach. Braiin’s compelling growth trajectory presented an attractive proposition for the public markets. Furthermore, Braiin’s product focus on AI/ML applications in agriculture technology, along with drone and IoT integrations, constituted a significant macro investment thesis.

On September 16, 2022, Northern Revival entered into a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with Braiin and scheduled an introductory video call to gain a deeper understanding of Braiin’s business. Mr. Balasubramaniam, CEO of Braiin, guided the Northern Revival Management Team through the company’s history, primary business units, and significant client accounts.

On September 19, 2022, Braiin provided the Northern Revival management team with access to a detailed data room containing critical financial information, product specifics, and future business roadmaps. The Northern Revival management team initiated a comprehensive financial and product analysis based on this data.

During a telephonic conversation on September 23, 2022, both parties discussed Braiin’s ability to scale its operations in line with expected revenue growth metrics. The growth plan included additional M&A activities, key customer acquisition in South Asia, and the establishment of a high-profile business presence.

On September 30, 2022, Northern Revival internally decided to prepare a draft term sheet to explore a potential business collaboration with Braiin. The term sheet provided a baseline for a feasible deal and the initiation of a detailed due diligence process.

Table of Contents

On October 3, 2022, a further in-depth video call took place to review the findings from the data room and address questions concerning client contract structures and recurring revenue patterns. This meeting also covered Braiin’s M&A pipeline and potential product synergies.

On October 11, 2022, Northern Revival presented the term sheet to Natraj Balasubramaniam and co-founder Darren McVean. A comprehensive video call ensued to discuss the terms, structure of the opportunity, SPAC process, Braiin’s future business strategy, PIPE process, capital raising efforts, and potential valuation and market value ranges.

On October 17, 2022, another video call between the Northern Revival and Braiin teams occurred to negotiate specifics around revenue requirements and M&A details. Braiin was in the process of finalizing several contracts, including one that was expected to close shortly.

A series of calls took place on October 19 and 21, 2022, where the teams discussed potential acquisition targets, the core focus of the company, and negotiated the terms of a non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI).

On October 27, 2022, Braiin provided a detailed list of its existing customers, revenue activity, and associated contract value. This was followed by a call to review each business line and customer profile.

On November 1, 2022, Braiin signed a non-binding LOI with a company that added approximately $18M of Revenue. Additionally, they signed contracts with three new customers that added $5.5M of revenue. Specific details of these contracts were shared via email and discussed over the phone.

On November 3, 2022, a joint Northern Revival and Braiin team launched a detailed due diligence initiative, covering finance, M&A, strategy, capital markets, and business development sectors. Specific roles were allocated within each workstream, spearheaded by Northern Revival members and Braiin’s key executives.

Between November 7 and 14, 2022, Natraj Balasubramaniam and Darren McVean provided an in-depth presentation of Braiin’s history and narrative to Northern Revival’s internal team. The following two weeks saw intense engagement, with in-person meetings, networking dinners, and deep-dive sessions. Additional global advisors joined remotely, and specialized consultants were sought in agriculture technology, IoT, ESG, and SEA.

On November 15, 2022, Northern Revival introduced Braiin to a selection of its SPAC advisors, including representatives PwC, GT, Deloitte, and BDO who were positioned to guide Braiin through the de-SPAC process. Northern Revival prepared a pre-LOI diligence checklist to facilitate the process.

Finally, on November 20, 2022, Braiin responded to the pre-LOI diligence checklist, elucidating both their and Northern Revival’s roles in the process ahead. This mutual understanding fostered a comprehensive analysis of the prospective merger’s dynamics.

On the 20th of November, 2022, Braiin responded to the pre-LOI checklist. This exchange of information facilitated a more nuanced and in-depth assessment of the dynamics associated with the proposed business combination transaction.

Subsequent to the receipt of these responses, the Northern Revival team conducted internal deliberations to review the provided material. In a furtherance of this review process, a conference call was arranged with Natraj Balasubramaniam, the CEO of Braiin, on November 21, 2022. The dialogue during this call led to the consensus that certain facets of the deal necessitated additional negotiations for the purpose of finalizing the LOI. Key discussion points during these negotiations were modifications to the pre-money valuation, terms related to the warrant repurchase, and specification of the final closing conditions.

On November 22, 2022, further dialogue was initiated with Braiin’s management during a telephonic conversation. The primary objective of this discussion was to contemplate a revised strategy addressing the revenue expectations, total projected revenue at close, and the projected EBITDA.

Following these discussions, Northern Revival submitted a revised LOI to Braiin on November 23, 2022, stipulating a total enterprise value of $190 million.

Subsequent to the feedback and inputs received, Northern Revival revised the LOI on December 4, 2022. This document sought to encapsulate the changes negotiated, and clarified the governance structure, and composition of the board members.

Braiin, in concert with their legal counsel, Winston & Strawn LLP, provided a response to the LOI on December 12, 2022. This revised LOI delineated the modalities of utilizing the balance sheet capital to facilitate the repurchase of up to $10M worth of outstanding Northern Revival warrants at close, contingent on the parties’ agreement. Furthermore, consensus was achieved on allocating up to 1 million shares from the SPAC for the purpose of facilitating a financing with PIPE investors.

On December 13, 2022, representatives from Northern Revival and Braiin convened in-person to discuss the details of the term sheet. The discussion encompassed specifics surrounding the valuation approach, utilization of the sponsor warrants, and the minimum debt and equity requirements. Counsel from both entities, participated in this crucial meeting, following which a revised LOI was circulated.

On December 14, 2022, Northern Revival and Braiin continued to collaborate to refine the equity valuation. Additional dialogues were initiated with legal counsel to clarify the disparity between pre-money and post-transaction values of the merged entity. This ambiguity incited further discussions concerning the lock-up period of shares.

A pivotal meeting took place between Natraj Balasubramaniam and Aemish Shah on December 15, 2022, to finalize the remaining aspects of the transaction. The key focus points included the forfeiture of shares, the enterprise value, and the duration of the lock-up period for shares. The meeting, spanning a couple of hours, culminated in a mutual agreement to finalize the LOI.

Finally, on December19, 2022, Braiin and Northern Revival entered into a non binding LOI.

During the period between December 19, 2022 through the circulation of the initial draft of the Business Combination Agreement on February 24, 2023, Northern Revival conducted due diligence and discussed the structure of the transaction with Braiin.

On February 24, 2023, Braiin provided Northern Revival with an initial draft of the Business Combination Agreement. Over the subsequent weeks, until execution of definitive agreement additional conversations regarding due diligence and details of the definitive agreements took place between Braiin and Northern Revival on an ad-hoc basis.

On March 7, 2023, Loeb circulated a revised draft of the Business Combination Agreement to Winston. The revised draft included changes to the structure of the transaction in order to effect a reverse triangular merger, adjustments to the Equity Value for indebtedness of Braiin, changes to the representations and warranties and certain covenants with respect to the operation of Braiin’s business prior to the Closing.

On March 9, 2023, Winston provided further comments to the Business Combination Agreement and circulated drafts of ancillary documents. The comments included reverting back to the share exchange structure as a result of Australian law considerations. The parties also continued to negotiate the representations and warranties and covenants with respect to operations prior to Closing.

On March 10, 2023, Loeb provided additional comments to the Business Combination Agreement and the ancillary documents.

Also, on March 10, 2023, Northern Revival and Meteora agreed upon the terms of a Forward Purchase Agreement to be entered into prior to the execution of the Business Combination Agreement.

The Northern Revival Board’s Discussion of Valuation and Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination.

Before reaching its decision, the Northern Revival Board considered the results of the due diligence conducted by its management and advisors, which included:

        Meetings and Calls with Braiin’s Management Team. Northern Revival had numerous meetings with Braiin regarding, among other customary due diligence matters, Braiin’s brand, company products, customer base, intellectual property, information technology, human resources and public company preparedness, operations, pricing and reimbursement, suppliers, market access and distribution, financials and use of proceeds, competitors, plans and forecasts.

        Industry and Market Research. Northern Revival’s industry research included interviews with certain industry experts and executives to inform on products.

        Legal and Commercial Review. This review included a review of Braiin’s material contracts and other documentation, including but not limited to those relating to regulatory compliance and communications, human resources and other legal matters, as well as a review of Braiin-published online, print and social media content.

73

Table of Contents

        Intellectual Property Review. This included a review of Braiin’s intellectual property rights, including but not limited to their in-license agreements, trademarks and patents.

        Operational Due Diligence. This included a review of key access and distribution channels, sales team, manufacturing, supply chain, insurance, information technology and corporate services.

        Financial, Tax and Public Company Readiness Due Diligence. This included a review of Braiin’s financial statements and internal reports and projections provided by Braiin’s management.

        Review of Comparable Agricultural Technology Transactions. This included a review of other agricultural technology companies.

The Northern Revival Board considered a variety of factors in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination. In light of the complexity of those factors, the Northern Revival 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. Individual members of the Northern Revival Board may have given different weight to different factors. Certain information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

In considering the Business Combination, the Northern Revival Board considered the following positive factors, although not weighted or in any order of significance:

        Public Company Readiness. The Northern Revival Board’s belief that Braiin is well positioned to be a public company in terms of scale and size, and a company that public equity market investors will understand and value.

        Experienced Management Team and Major Shareholders. Following completion of the Business Combination, Braiin will continue to be led by the same proven and experienced senior management team as prior to the Business Combination. The executive team has extensive experience in the agricultural technology market and was largely responsible for Braiin’s growth over the last several years. In addition, the Northern Revival Board considered that Braiin’s existing primary shareholders would continue to be the largest shareholders of Braiin after closing of the Business Combination.

        Potential for Increase in Shareholder Value. The Northern Revival Board’s determination that if Braiin is able to meet its financial forecasts, then Northern Revival’s shareholders will have acquired their shares in New Braiin at an attractive valuation, which would increase shareholder value.

        Other Alternatives. The Northern Revival Board’s belief, after a thorough review of other business combination opportunities reasonably available to Northern Revival, that the Business Combination represents an attractive potential business combination for Northern Revival, and the Northern Revival Board’s belief that such review of other reasonably available business combination opportunities has not presented a better alternative.

        Negotiated Transaction. The terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination were the product of arm’s-length negotiations between the parties.

In the course of its deliberations, in addition to the various other risks associated with the business of Braiin, as described in the section titled “Risk Factors” appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, the Northern Revival Board also considered a variety of uncertainties, risks and other potentially negative factors relevant to the Business Combination, including the following:

        General Economic Conditions. Macroeconomic uncertainty, including with respect to global and national supply chains, and the effects they could have on Braiin’s revenues and financial performance.

        Inability to Achieve Targets. The risk that Braiin may not be able to execute on its business plan and realize the financial performance as set forth in the financial forecasts presented to management of Northern Revival and the Northern Revival Board.

74

Table of Contents

        Inability to Obtain Regulatory Approvals for Certain Formulations. The risk that Braiin may not obtain in a timely manner, or at all, the requisite approvals of significant potential products.

        Industry Risk on Reputation. Braiin’s brand and reputation are critical to its success, and any publicity, regardless of accuracy, that portrays Braiin negatively could adversely impact operating results.

        Valuation. The risk that the Northern Revival Board may not have properly valued Braiin’s business.

        Risks that the Transaction Cannot be Completed. The risks and costs to Northern Revival if the Business Combination is not completed, including the risk of diverting management focus and resources from other businesses combination opportunities, which could result in Northern Revival being unable to effect a business combination within the completion window, which would require Northern Revival to liquidate.

        Shareholder Approval Risk. The risk that Northern Revival’s shareholders may object to and challenge the Business Combination and take action that may prevent or delay the Closing, including by voting against the Business Combination Proposal at the Meeting or redeeming their Northern Revival Ordinary Shares.

        Post-Closing Risk. The terms of the Business Combination Agreement provide that Northern Revival will not have any surviving remedies against Braiin or its equityholders after the Closing to recover for losses as a result of any inaccuracies or breaches of Braiin’s representations, warranties or covenants set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. The Northern Revival Board determined that this structure was appropriate and customary in light of the fact that the current primary stockholder of Braiin will be the majority stockholder in the post-Business Combination company.

        Combined Company Post-Closing. The fees and expenses associated with completing the Business Combination for both parties will be significant.

        Ownership Position Post- Closing. The fact that existing Northern Revival shareholders will hold a minority position in Braiin following completion of the Business Combination and Northern Revival will not have any representation on the PubCo Board.

        Litigation Risk. 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.

        Redemption Risk. The potential that a significant number of Northern Revival’s shareholders elect to redeem their Northern Revival Ordinary Shares prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and pursuant to the Current Charter, which would potentially make the Business Combination more difficult or impossible to complete, and/or reduce the amount of cash available to PubCo following the Closing.

        Public Company Risk. As Braiin has not previously been a public company, Braiin may not have all the different types of employees necessary for it to timely and accurately prepare reports for filing with the SEC. There is a risk that Braiin will not be able to hire the right people to fill in these gaps by the time of the Closing or that additional issues could arise after the Closing due to its failure to have hired these people in advance of Closing.

Various other risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of this proxy statement/prospectus.

In addition to considering the factors described above, the Northern Revival Board also considered that certain of the officers and directors of Northern Revival may have interests in the Business Combination as individuals that are in addition to, and that may be different from, the interests of Northern Revival’s shareholders, including the matters described under the sections titled “Risk Factors” above and “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Northern Revival’s Directors and Officers and Others in the Business Combination.” However, the Northern Revival Board concluded that the potentially disparate interests would be mitigated because (i) these interests were disclosed in the prospectus for the initial public offering and/or would be included in this proxy

Table of Contents

statement/prospectus, (ii) these disparate interests could exist with respect to a business combination with any target company and (iii) the Business Combination was structured so that the Business Combination may be completed even if public shareholders redeem a substantial portion of the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares.

Based on its review of the foregoing considerations, the Northern Revival Board concluded that these risks could be managed or mitigated by Braiin or were unlikely to have a material impact on the Business Combination or the Company, and that, overall, the potentially negative factors associated with the Business Combination were outweighed by the potential benefits that it expects that Northern Revival’s shareholders will receive as a result of the Business Combination. The Northern Revival Board realized that there can be no assurance about future results, including results considered or expected as disclosed in the foregoing reasons.

The preceding discussion of the information and factors considered by the Northern Revival Board is not intended to be exhaustive but includes the material factors considered by the Northern Revival Board. The Northern Revival Board considered this information as a whole and overall considered the information and factors to be favorable to, and in support of, its determinations and recommendations.

This explanation of the Northern Revival Board’s reasons for its approval of the Business Combination, and all other information presented in this section, is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under the section titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

The conclusion reached by Trafalgar Advisors was based on all analyses and factors taken as a whole, and also on the application of Trafalgar Advisors’ own experience and judgment.

The financial analyses summarized therein include information presented in tabular format. For Trafalgar Advisors’ financial analyses to be fully understood, 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 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 Trafalgar Advisors’ financial analyses.

Summary of Valuation Methodologies Utilized

Market Approach

The “Market Approach” is a valuation technique that provides an estimation of value by applying a valuation multiple to a specific financial metric for the subject company. These valuation multiples are either observed or derived from (i) market prices of actively traded, public companies, publicly available historical financial information and consensus equity research analyst estimates of future financial performance (“Selected Publicly Traded Companies” method) or (ii) prices paid in actual mergers, acquisitions or other transactions (“Selected Precedent Transactions” method).

The valuation process includes, but is not limited to, a comparison of various quantitative and qualitative factors between the subject business and other similar businesses. Trafalgar Advisors utilized the Market Approach to (i) select a range of valuation multiples consisting of enterprise value to actual 2023, and projected 2024 and 2025 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiples and enterprise value to apply to Braiin’s 2023-2026 EBITDA and (ii) to estimate the Terminal Values for the Discount Cash Flow Analysis.

Income Approach: Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

The “Income Approach” represents value based on the economic income that a company is expected to generate in the future. It estimates value by methods that discount future anticipated benefits, such as free cash flows or distributions, by a discount/capitalization rate that reflects market rates of return expectations or conditions, as well as the risk of the relevant investment, or a multiple which reflects an anticipated exit value.

The Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”) Analysis is a valuation technique under the Income Approach that provides an estimation of the value of a business based on the cash flows that a business can be expected to generate. The DCF Analysis begins with an estimation of the annual cash flows the subject business is expected to generate over a discrete projection period. The estimated cash flows for each of the years in the discrete projection period are then converted to their present value equivalents using a rate of return appropriate for the risk of achieving the projected cash flows. The present value of the estimated cash flows is then added to the present value equivalent of the residual/terminal value of the business at the end of the discrete projection period to arrive at an estimate of value.

Market Approach: Selected Publicly Traded Companies

Given Braiin’s expertise in technology, AI/ML, IoT, and its positioning as enterprise resource planning software, Trafalgar Advisors identified:

        Three publicly traded telecommunications companies: Synaptics, SES-imagotag, and Digi International;

        Ten publicly traded Software / AI / technology companies: Oracle, Service Now, Constellation Software, Paylocity, EngageSmart, and Alarm.com; Rockwell Automation, UiPath, AeroVironment, and Kratos Defense & Security Solutions.

Trafalgar Advisors selected the public companies based on their relative similarity, primarily in terms of services offered, revenue growth history and outlook, profit margins and other characteristics, to that of Braiin. Trafalgar Advisors noted that the public companies that it selected for purpose of its analysis were not perfectly comparable to Braiin.

Trafalgar Advisors does not have access to non-public information of any of the companies used for comparative purposes. Accordingly, a complete valuation analysis of Braiin cannot rely solely upon a quantitative review of the selected public companies but involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of such companies, as well as other factors that could affect their value relative to that of Braiin. Therefore, the Market Approach is subject to certain limitations.

Consideration was given to trailing twelve months (“TTM”) June 30, 2023, next twelve months (“NTM”) June 30, 2023, and NTM 2024 EBITDA multiples.

In light of the foregoing review and based on its professional judgment and experience, Trafalgar Advisors applied a range of selected multiples derived from the Selected Companies of 30.0x to 60.0x, 18.0x to 28.0x and 14.0x to 18.0x to TTM 2023, NTM 2023 and NTM 2024 EBITDA of Braiin, respectively. These ranges were based on trading metrics for the Selected Companies.

Based on the selected multiple ranges described above, Trafalgar Advisors calculated indicated equity value ranges for Braiin of $259.1 million to $543.2 million for TTM June 2023, of $370.2 million to $589.8 million for NTM 2023, of and $498.7 million to $648.4 million for NTM 2024 under the Selected Publicly Traded Companies Method:

Market Approach: Selected Precedent M&A Transactions

Trafalgar Advisors also identified certain precedent merger and acquisition (“M&A”) transactions involving target companies that had businesses deemed similar in certain respects to that of Braiin.

Trafalgar Advisors compared Braiin to the target companies involved in the selected transactions listed therein. The selection of these transactions was based, among other things, on the target company’s industry, relative size of the applicable transactions compared to Braiin, and the availability of public information related to the applicable transactions.

These multiples of implied enterprise value to EBITDA were also considered when selecting multiples to apply to Braiin’s EBITDA in the Selected Publicly Traded Companies approach and when selecting multiples to apply to Braiin’s 2026 EBITDA in the DCF Analysis.

In light of the foregoing review and based on its professional judgment and experience, Trafalgar Advisors applied a range of selected multiples derived from the Selected Precedent M&A Transactions of 30.0x to 50.0x to TTM 2023 EBITDA of Braiin. These ranges were based on trading metrics for the Selected Precedent M&A Transactions.

Income Approach: Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

Trafalgar Advisors performed a DCF Analysis of the estimated future unlevered free cash flows attributable to Braiin using financial projections provided by Braiin management for the fiscal years 2024 to 2026, with “unlevered free cash flow” defined as cash that is available either to reinvest or to distribute to security holders. For the purposes of its discounted cash flow analysis, Trafalgar Advisors utilized and relied upon the EBITDA figures provided by Braiin and NRAC management and made the following adjustments using information received from Braiin management and NRAC management to arrive at unlevered free cash flows: (i) deducted taxes equal to 30.0% of earnings before interest and taxes; (ii) added depreciation and amortization2; (iii) deducted capital expenditures (Estimated by Braiin Management for 2024 and 2025 and extrapolated for 2026 as a percentage of Braiin’s revenue) and (iv) made adjustments for changes in net working capital, to arrive at unlevered free cash flow of approximately $12 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2024, approximately $21 million for the year ending June 30, 2025, and approximately $25 million for the year ending June 30, 2026.

Trafalgar Advisors estimated the net present value of all unlevered free cash flows for Braiin after fiscal year 2026 (the “Terminal Values”) by applying an EBITDA multiple range to Braiin’s projected 2026 EBITDA in the Braiin Financial Projections. Trafalgar Advisors discounted the unlevered free cash flows in the discrete period and the Terminal Values in 2026 back to the present to estimate an illustrative range of implied enterprise values of Braiin.

Determination of an appropriate discount rate to use in the DCF Analysis requires a degree of judgment. Trafalgar Advisors considered a number of factors in determining the discount rate range, including the results of published studies on discount rates. Trafalgar Advisors also considered Braiin projected financial performance and growth and the risks facing Braiin to achieve the projected results, including execution risk and competitive risks, among others.

Trafalgar Advisors utilized a discount rate range of 16.0% to 24.0% based on the weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) for Braiin. The WACC reflected a derived cost of equity capital using the Build Up Method including (i) the risk free rate, (ii) an equity risk premium, (iii) a size premium, and (iv) a selected range of company specific risk premiums, and debt to total capitalization ratio informed by market information and the Selected Publicly Traded Companies (as defined above), and a cost of debt capital based on a review of market information and the Selected Publicly Traded Companies.

The estimated range of the equity value of Braiin derived from the DCF analysis was a low of $464.0 million and a high of $572.7 million:

Interests of Northern Revival’s Directors and Officers and Others 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 shareholder. These interests include, among other things:

        If we do not consummate an initial business combination by February 4, 2024, the 6,037,499 Class A ordinary shares and one Class B ordinary share held by the sponsor will be worthless (as the Sponsor has waived liquidation rights with respect to such shares). Northern Revival and the Sponsor have agreed that the Sponsor will forfeit 1,500,000 founders shares in connection with the Closing leaving 4,537,500 founders shares at Closing. Based on the price of the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares as of December 1, 2023 of $10.84, these shares have a value of $49,186,500 as compared to the original purchase price of $25,000.

        If we do not consummate an initial business combination by February 4, 2024, the 4,553,334 private placement warrants will be worthless. Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, at the Closing, those warrants will be cancelled in exchange for a payment to the Sponsor of $2,500,000.

        In connection with the IPO, the sponsor agreed that it will be liable under certain circumstances to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of any third party for services rendered or products sold to Northern Revival or prospective target businesses with which Northern Revival has entered into certain agreements;

        All rights specified in the charter relating to the right of officers and directors to be indemnified by Northern Revival, and of Northern Revival’s officers and directors to be exculpated from monetary liability with respect to prior acts or omissions, will continue after an initial business combination and, if no initial business combination is completed by February 4, 2024, so that Northern Revival liquidates, Northern Revival will not be able to perform its obligations to its officers and directors under those provisions;

        None of Northern Revival’s officers or directors has received any cash compensation for services rendered to Northern Revival, and all of the current officers and directors are expected to continue to serve in their roles at least through the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting and may continue to serve following any potential initial business combination and receive compensation thereafter; and

        The sponsor and Northern Revival’s officers and directors and their respective affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them related to identifying, investigating, negotiating and completing an initial business combination and, if we do not consummate an initial business combination by February 4, 2024, they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement so that Northern Revival will most likely be unable to reimburse such expenses.

In light of the foregoing, the Sponsor and Northern Revival’s directors and executive officers will receive material benefits from the completion of the Business Combination and may be incentivized to complete the Business Combination with Braiin rather than liquidate even if (i) Braiin is a less favorable company or (ii) the terms of the Business Combination are less favorable to stockholders. As a result, the Sponsor and Northern Revival’s directors and officers may have interests in the completion of the Business Combination that are materially different than, and may conflict with, the interests of other stockholders.

Northern Revival’s Board was aware of and considered these interests and facts, among other matters, in evaluating and unanimously approving the Business Combination and in recommending to Northern Revival’s stockholders that they approve the Business Combination.

Satisfaction of 80% Test

After consideration of the factors identified and discussed in the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal — The Northern Revival’s Board’s Discussion of Valuation and Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination,” the Northern Revival Board concluded that the Business Combination met all of the requirements disclosed in the IPO prospectus with respect to Northern Revival’s initial business combination, including, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules, that the Business Combination be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (less any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned) at the time of signing the Business Combination Agreement.

Accounting Treatment

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a capital reorganization in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Under this method of accounting, Northern Revival will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Braiin issuing shares at the closing of the Business Combination for the net assets of Northern Revival as of the closing date, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Northern Revival will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. This determination was primarily based on Braiin comprising the ongoing operations of the combined company, Braiin senior management comprising the senior management of the combined company, and the former owners and management of Braiin having control of the board of directors after the Business Combination by virtue of being able to appoint at least a majority of the directors of the combined company. Any excess of fair value of shares issued over the fair value of Northern Revival’s identifiable net assets acquired represents compensation for the service of a stock exchange listing for its shares and is expensed as incurred. Operations prior to the Merger will be those of Braiin.

Vote Required for Approval

This Business Combination Proposal will be approved and adopted in its entirety only if the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Northern Revival Ordinary Shares vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal. Failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Extraordinary General Meeting (which would include presence by virtual attendance at the Extraordinary General Meeting) or an abstention from voting will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal.

This proposal is conditioned upon the approval of the other Condition Precedent Proposals (being the PubCo Charter Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal). Unless this proposal, the PubCo Charter Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal are approved, the Business Combination will not occur.

Recommendation of Our Board

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT OUR SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL.

Interests of Northern Revival’s Directors

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Northern Revival’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 Northern Revival and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the Proposals. In addition, Northern Revival’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Northern Revival’s Directors and Officers and Others in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

Table of Contents

THE PUBCO CHARTER PROPOSAL

The PubCo Charter Proposal, if approved, will approve the following material differences between Northern Revival’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Proposed PubCo Charter to be in effect following the Business Combination:

        the name of the new public entity will be “Braiin Holdings Ltd.” as opposed to “Northern Revival Acquisition Corp.”;

        Northern Revival’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association authorizes the issuance of up to 500,000,000 Northern Revival Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 per share, 50,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, and 5,000,000 undesignated preferred shares, par value $0.0001 per share. The Proposed PubCo Charter will authorize share capital of [•];

        PubCo’s corporate existence is perpetual as opposed to Northern Revival’s corporate existence terminating pursuant to a voluntary liquidation procedure if a business combination is not consummated within a specified period of time; and

        the Proposed PubCo Charter does not include the various provisions applicable only to special purpose acquisition corporations that Northern Revival’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association contains.

In the judgment of Northern Revival’s board of directors, the PubCo Charter Proposal is desirable for the following reasons:

        The name of the new public entity is desirable to reflect the Business Combination with Braiin and the combined business going forward.

        The authorized increased share capital is in compliance with the Cayman Islands laws and desirable for PubCo to have adequate authorized capital to facilitate the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination, to provide support for PubCo’s growth and to provide flexibility for future corporate needs (including, if needed, as part of financing for future growth acquisitions); and

        the provisions that relate to the operation of Northern Revival as a blank check company prior to the consummation of its initial business combination would not be applicable after the Business Combination (such as the obligation to dissolve and liquidate if a business combination is not consummated in a certain period of time).

For a comparison of Northern Revival’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Proposed PubCo Charter, see the section titled “Comparison of Shareholders’ Rights.

The approval of the PubCo Charter Proposal is a condition to the adoption of the Business Combination Proposal and vice versa. Accordingly, if the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the PubCo Charter Proposal will not be presented at the extraordinary general meeting.

A copy of the Proposed PubCo Charter, as will be in effect assuming approval of the PubCo Charter Proposal and upon consummation of the Transactions, is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B.

Resolution to be Voted Upon

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that the following material differences between Northern Revival’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Proposed PubCo Charter to be in effect following the Business Combination be approved in all respects:

        the name of the new public entity will be “Braiin Holdings Ltd.” as opposed to “Northern Revival Acquisition Corp.”;

        the Proposed PubCo Charter will authorize an increased share capital of [•];

        PubCo’s corporate existence is perpetual as opposed to Northern Revival’s corporate existence terminating if a business combination is not consummated within a specified period of time; and

83

Table of Contents

        the Proposed PubCo Charter does not include the various provisions applicable only to special purpose acquisition corporations that Northern Revival’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association contains.”

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the PubCo Charter Proposal will require an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as a vote cast at the general meeting.

Recommendation of Our Board

OUR board of directors unanimously recommends THAT OUR SHAREHOLDERS vote “FOR” APPROVAL of the PubCo Charter Proposal.

Interests of Northern Revival’s Directors

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Northern Revival’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 Northern Revival and its shareholders and what he, she, or they may believe is best for himself, herself, or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the Proposals. In addition, Northern Revival’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section titled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Northern Revival’s Directors and Officers and Others in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

THE INCENTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL

The Background of the Incentive Plan

Prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, our board of directors is expected to approve, subject to approval by our shareholders, the adoption of the Braiin Holdings 2024 Incentive Award Plan (the “Incentive Plan”), effective as of and contingent on the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Effective Date”).

The terms of the Incentive Plan have not yet been determined and information regarding such plan will be filed by amendment.

Registration with the SEC

If the Incentive Plan is approved by our shareholders and becomes effective, PubCo intends to file a registration statement on Form S-8 registering the shares reserved for issuance under the Incentive Plan as soon as reasonably practicable after PubCo becomes eligible to use such form.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by shareholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Extraordinary General Meeting (which would include presence by virtual attendance at the Extraordinary General Meeting). An abstention will be counted towards the quorum requirement but will not count as a vote cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting. A broker non-vote will neither be counted towards the quorum requirement (as the Proposals we believe will be considered as non-discretionary) nor count as a vote cast in the Extraordinary General Meeting.

The approval and adoption of the Incentive Plan Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the PubCo Charter Proposal at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Recommendation of Our Board

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT OUR SHAREHOLDERS
VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE INCENTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL.

Interests of Northern Revival’s Directors

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Northern Revival’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 Northern Revival and its shareholders and what he, she, or they may believe is best for himself, herself, or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the Proposals. In addition, Northern Revival’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder.

THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

The Adjournment Proposal, if adopted, will allow our Board to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates to permit further solicitation of proxies. The Adjournment Proposal will only be presented to our shareholders in the event that, at the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting, Northern Revival is unable to consummate the Business Combination for any reason.

Consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved

If the Adjournment Proposal is presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting and is not approved by the shareholders of Northern Revival, Northern Revival’s Board may not be able to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date in the event, based on the tabulated votes, that there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting to approve the Business Combination Proposal, the PubCo Charter Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal. In such event, the Business Combination may not be completed.

Resolution to be Voted Upon

The full text of the resolution to be proposed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, that the adjournment of the meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, be determined by the chairman of the meeting to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if it is determined by the Board that more time is necessary or appropriate to approve one or more Proposals at the meeting be adopted and approved in all respects.”

Adoption of the Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the adoption of any of the other Proposals.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a general discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of (i) the exercise of redemption rights by U.S. Holders (defined below) of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, (ii) the Initial Merger to U.S. Holders of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares (excluding any redeemed shares), and Northern Revival Warrants (collectively, the “Northern Revival securities”). (iii) the Business Combination to U.S. Holders of Braiin Ordinary Shares and Braiin Warrants (collectively, the “Braiin securities”) and (iv) the subsequent ownership and disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants (collectively, the “PubCo securities”) received in the Business Combination by U.S. Holders. In addition, the following includes a general discussion of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination to Northern Revival and PubCo.

This discussion is based on provisions of the Code, the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (whether final, temporary, or proposed), administrative rulings of the IRS, and judicial decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof, and all of which are subject to differing interpretations or change, possibly with retroactive effect. This discussion does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential U.S. federal income tax consequences that may apply to a holder as a result of the Business Combination or as a result of the ownership and disposition of PubCo securities. In addition, this discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to particular holders nor does it take into account the individual facts and circumstances of any particular holder that may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such holder, and accordingly, is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, tax advice. This discussion does not address the U.S. federal 3.8% Medicare tax imposed on certain net investment income or any aspects of U.S. federal taxation other than those pertaining to the income tax, nor does it address any tax consequences arising under any U.S. state and local, or non-U.S. tax laws, except as discussed herein, any tax reporting obligations of a holder of Northern Revival securities, or PubCo securities. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding such tax consequences in light of their particular circumstances.

No ruling has been requested or will be obtained from the IRS regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination or any other related matter; thus, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge the U.S. federal income tax treatment described below or that, if challenged, such treatment will be sustained by a court.

This summary is limited to considerations relevant to U.S. Holders that hold Northern Revival securities and, after the completion of the Business Combination, PubCo securities, as “capital assets” within the meaning of section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be important to holders in light of their individual circumstances, including holders subject to special treatment under the U.S. tax laws, such as, for example:

        banks or other financial institutions, underwriters, or insurance companies;

        traders in securities who elect to apply a mark-to-market method of accounting;

        real estate investment trusts and regulated investment companies;

        tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts, or other tax-deferred accounts;

        expatriates or former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;

        subchapter S corporations, partnerships or other pass-through entities or investors in such entities;

        any holder that is not a U.S. Holder;

        dealers or traders in securities, commodities or currencies;

        persons subject to the alternative minimum tax;

        U.S. persons whose “functional currency” is not the U.S. dollar;

        persons who received shares of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares through the issuance of restricted stock under an equity incentive plan or through a tax-qualified retirement plan or otherwise as compensation;

        persons who own (directly or through attribution) 5% or more (by vote or value) of the outstanding Northern Revival Ordinary Shares or, after the Business Combination, the issued PubCo Ordinary Shares (excluding treasury shares);

        holders holding Northern Revival securities or, after the Business Combination, PubCo securities, as a position in a “straddle,” as part of a “synthetic security” or “hedge,” as part of a “conversion transaction,” or other integrated investment or risk reduction transaction;

        the Sponsor or its affiliates.

As used in this proxy statement/prospectus, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of Northern Revival securities and, after the Business Combination, PubCo securities received in the Business Combination, that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

        an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

        a corporation (or other entity that is classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia;

        an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

        a trust (i) if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (ii) that has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If a partnership, including for this purpose any entity or arrangement that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, holds Northern Revival securities and, after the completion of the Business Combination, PubCo securities received in the Business Combination, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in such partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder that is a partnership and the partners in such partnership should consult their own tax advisors with regard to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination and the subsequent ownership and disposition of PubCo securities received in the Business Combination.

Because the Northern Revival Units will be separated into their component parts immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, a beneficial owner of a Northern Revival Unit should be treated as the owner of the underlying component Northern Revival securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The discussion below with respect to Northern Revival securities should also apply to holders of Northern Revival Units (as the deemed owner of the underlying component Northern Revival securities).

THIS SUMMARY DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OR DESCRIPTION OF ALL POTENTIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION. IN ADDITION, THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX TREATMENT OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF NORTHERN REVIVAL SECURITIES, AND, AFTER THE BUSINESS COMBINATION, PUBCO SECURITIES MAY BE AFFECTED BY MATTERS NOT DISCUSSED HEREIN AND DEPENDS IN SOME INSTANCES ON DETERMINATIONS OF FACT AND INTERPRETATIONS OF COMPLEX PROVISIONS OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAW FOR WHICH NO CLEAR PRECEDENT OR AUTHORITY MAY BE AVAILABLE. HOLDERS OF NORTHERN REVIVAL SECURITIES SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION AND OF THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF PUBCO SECURITIES AFTER THE BUSINESS COMBINATION, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECTS OF U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND OTHER TAX LAWS.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of Exercising Redemption Rights

In the event that a U.S. Holder elects to redeem its Northern Revival Ordinary Shares for cash, the treatment of the transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale or exchange of the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares under Section 302 of the Code or is treated as a corporate distribution under Section 301 of the Code with respect to the U.S. Holder. If the redemption qualifies as a sale or exchange of the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, subject to the PFIC rules discussed below “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Status,” the U.S. Holder will be treated as recognizing capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the redemption and such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares surrendered in such redemption transaction. Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares redeemed exceeds one year. It is unclear, however, whether the redemption rights with respect to the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares may suspend the running of the applicable holding period for this purpose. Long-term capital gain realized by a non-corporate U.S. Holders is currently taxed at a reduced rate. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

If the redemption does not qualify as a sale or exchange of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, subject to the PFIC rules discussed below “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Status,” the U.S. Holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution. Such distributions generally will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from Northern Revival’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares. Dividends paid to a U.S. Holder that is a taxable corporation generally will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction generally allowed to domestic corporations in respect of dividends received from other domestic corporations. With certain exceptions (including, but not limited to, dividends treated as investment income for purposes of investment interest deduction limitations) and provided certain holding period requirements are met, dividends paid to a non-corporate U.S. Holder generally will constitute “qualified dividends” that will be subject to tax at the maximum tax rate accorded to long-term capital gains. However, it is unclear whether the redemption rights with respect to the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares may prevent a U.S. Holder from satisfying the applicable holding period requirements with respect to the dividends received deduction or the preferential tax rate on qualified dividend income, as the case may be.

Whether a redemption qualifies for sale or exchange treatment will depend largely on the total number of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares treated as held by the U.S. Holder (including any Northern Revival Ordinary Shares constructively owned by the U.S. Holder as a result of owning Northern Revival Warrants) relative to all of the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares outstanding both before and after the redemption. The redemption of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares generally will be treated as a sale or exchange of the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares (rather than as a corporate distribution) if the redemption (i) is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the U.S. Holder, (ii) results in a “complete termination” of the U.S. Holder’s interest in Northern Revival or (iii) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the U.S. Holder. These tests are explained more fully below.

In determining whether any of the foregoing tests are satisfied, a U.S. Holder takes into account not only Northern Revival Ordinary Shares actually owned by the U.S. Holder, but also Northern Revival Ordinary Shares that are constructively owned by it. A U.S. Holder may constructively own, in addition to stock owned directly, stock owned by certain related individuals and entities in which the U.S. Holder has an interest or that have an interest in such U.S. Holder, as well as any stock the U.S. Holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which would generally include Northern Revival Ordinary Shares which could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Northern Revival Warrants. In order to meet the substantially disproportionate test, (i) the percentage of Northern Revival’s outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder immediately following the redemption of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares must be less than 80% of the percentage of Northern Revival’s outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder immediately before the redemption, (ii) the U.S. Holder’s percentage ownership (including constructive ownership) of Northern Revival’s outstanding stock (both voting and nonvoting) immediately after the redemption must be less than 80% of such percentage ownership (including constructive ownership) immediately before the redemption; and (iii) the U.S. Holder must own (including constructive ownership), immediately after the redemption, less than 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Northern Revival stock entitled to vote. There will be a complete termination of a U.S. Holder’s interest

89

Table of Contents

if either (i) all of the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder are redeemed or (ii) all of the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares actually owned by the U.S. Holder are redeemed and the U.S. Holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of stock owned by certain family members and the U.S. Holder does not constructively own any other Northern Revival Ordinary Shares. The redemption of the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if a U.S. Holder’s redemption results in a “meaningful reduction” of the U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in Northern Revival. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in Northern Revival will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority shareholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.” A U.S. Holder should consult with its own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of a redemption.

If none of the foregoing tests is satisfied, then the redemption will be treated as a corporate distribution. After the application of those rules regarding corporate distributions, any remaining tax basis of the U.S. Holder in the redeemed Northern Revival Ordinary Shares will be added to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its remaining Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, or, if it has none, to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Northern Revival Warrants or possibly in other Northern Revival Ordinary Shares constructively owned by it. Shareholders who hold different blocks of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares (generally, shares of Northern Revival purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) should consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them.

Because the Initial Merger will occur prior to the redemption of U.S. Holders that exercise redemption rights with respect to Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, U.S. Holders exercising such redemption rights, will be subject to the potential tax consequences of Section 367(a) of the Code and the tax rules relating to PFICs as a result of the Initial Merger (as discussed further below).

All U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors as to the tax consequences to them of a redemption of all or a portion of their Northern Revival Ordinary Shares pursuant to an exercise of redemption rights.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Initial Merger to U.S. Holders

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination to U.S. Holders will depend on whether the Initial Merger qualifies as a “reorganization” under the provisions of Section 368 of the Code. The provisions of the Code that govern reorganizations are complex and are based on typical transaction structures effected under U.S. law. U.S. Holders should be aware that the completion of the Business Combination is not conditioned on the receipt of an opinion of counsel that the Initial Merger qualifies as a “reorganization,” and that none of Northern Revival or PubCo has requested nor intends to request a ruling from the IRS with respect to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Business Combination. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not take a contrary position to views expressed herein or that a court will not agree with a contrary position of the IRS.

Although U.S. persons generally do not recognize gain or loss on the receipt of stock pursuant to a “reorganization” under Section 368 of the Code, Section 367(a) of the Code, and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, require 5 Percent Holders who do not enter into a GRA under applicable Treasury Regulations to recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to certain cross-border reorganizations. However, Section 367(a) should not apply to the Initial Merger in a manner that causes gain recognition to 5 Percent Holders who do not enter into a GRA under applicable Treasury Regulations, unless the exchange of Northern Revival securities for PubCo securities is considered to be an indirect stock transfer under the applicable Treasury Regulations. For this purpose, an indirect stock transfer may occur if PubCo transfers the assets it acquires from Northern Revival pursuant to the Initial Merger to certain subsidiary corporations in connection with the Business Combination. There are significant factual and legal uncertainties concerning the determination of whether the requirements of Section 367(a) will be satisfied which are not discussed herein. The rules under Section 367(a) of the Code and Section 368 of the Code are complex and there is limited guidance as to their application, particularly with regard to indirect stock transfers in cross-border reorganizations. If you believe that you will be a 5 Percent Holder, you are strongly urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the effect of the Business Combination to you taking into account the rules of Section 367(a) of the Code (including the possibility of entering into a GRA under applicable Treasury Regulations). In addition, U.S. Holders may be subject to the PFIC rules discussed below “— Passive Foreign Investment Company

90

Table of Contents

Status.” Accordingly, no assurance can be given as to whether an indirect stock transfer will occur in connection with the Business Combination or that U.S. Holders will not recognize gain, if any, as a result of the exchange of Northern Revival securities for PubCo securities.

Because the Initial Merger will occur immediately prior to the redemption of U.S. Holders that exercise redemption rights with respect to Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, U.S. Holders exercising such redemption rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of the Initial Merger. All holders considering exercising redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares are urged to consult with their tax advisors with respect to the potential tax consequences to them of the Initial Merger and exercise of redemption rights.

If the Initial Merger Qualifies as a Reorganization

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, if the Initial Merger qualifies as a “reorganization” under the provisions of Section 368 of the Code, and provided that it is not treated as an indirect stock transfer, a U.S. Holder that exchanges its Northern Revival securities pursuant to the Initial Merger should not recognize gain or loss on the exchange of Northern Revival securities for PubCo securities. The aggregate adjusted tax basis of a U.S. Holder in the PubCo securities received as a result of the Initial Merger should equal the aggregate adjusted tax basis of the Northern Revival securities surrendered in the exchange. A U.S. Holder’s holding period for the PubCo securities received in the exchange should include the holding period for the Northern Revival securities surrendered in the exchange. If Section 367(a) of the Code applies to the Initial Merger, as described above, a 5 Percent Holder who does not enter into a GRA under applicable Treasury Regulations, may be required to recognize gain (but not loss) as a result of the Initial Merger.

Because the Initial Merger will occur immediately prior to the redemption of holders that exercise redemption rights with respect to Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, U.S. Holders exercising such redemption rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of Section 367 of the Code as a result of the Initial Merger.

If the Initial Merger Does Not Qualify as a Reorganization

If the Initial Merger fails to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code, and subject to the PFIC rules discussed below under the heading “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Status,” a U.S. Holder that exchanges its Northern Revival securities for PubCo securities in the Initial Merger will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the fair market value of the PubCo securities received and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Northern Revival securities exchanged therefor. A U.S. Holder’s aggregate tax basis in the PubCo securities received will be the fair market value of those securities on the date the U.S. Holder receives them. The U.S. Holder’s holding period for the PubCo securities received pursuant to the Initial Merger will begin on the day after the date the U.S. Holder receives such PubCo securities.

Such gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss and will be a long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Northern Revival securities exceeds one year at the time of the Initial Merger. Long-term capital gains of non-corporate U.S. Holders currently are subject to reduced rates of U.S. federal income taxation. However, it is unclear whether the redemption rights with respect to the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares may prevent a U.S. Holder from satisfying the applicable holding period requirement. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations under the Code. Any such gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder will generally be treated as U.S. source gain or loss.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Initial Merger fails to qualify as a “reorganization” under the provisions of Section 368 of the Code and Northern Revival has been a PFIC for any taxable year during the holding period of a U.S. Holder (and a U.S. Holder of Northern Revival securities has not made certain elections with respect to its Northern Revival securities), such U.S. Holder would be subject to tax under the PFIC rules on any gain on the exchange of its Northern Revival securities for the consideration under the Business Combination, as discussed below, “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — Passive Foreign Investment Company Status.”

U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors as to the particular consequences to them of the exchange of Northern Revival securities for PubCo securities pursuant to the Business Combination, the qualification of the Initial Merger as a reorganization, and the potential application of Section 367(a) to the Initial Merger.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of Ownership and Disposition of PubCo Securities

The following discussion is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of PubCo securities to U.S. Holders who receive such PubCo securities pursuant to the Business Combination.

Distribution on PubCo Ordinary Shares

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Status,” the gross amount of any distribution on PubCo Ordinary Shares that is made out of PubCo’s current and accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) will generally be taxable to a U.S. Holder as ordinary dividend income on the date such distribution is actually or constructively received by such U.S. Holder. Any such dividends paid to corporate U.S. Holders generally will not qualify for the dividends-received deduction that may otherwise be allowed under the Code.

Dividends received by non-corporate U.S. Holders, including individuals, from a “qualified foreign corporation” may be eligible for reduced rates of taxation, provided that certain holding period requirements and other conditions are satisfied. For these purposes, a non-U.S. corporation will be treated as a qualified foreign corporation with respect to dividends paid by that corporation on shares that are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. U.S. Treasury Department guidance indicates that shares listed on the NASDAQ (on which PubCo has applied to list the PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants) will be considered readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. Even if the PubCo Ordinary Shares are listed on NASDAQ, there can be no assurance that the PubCo Ordinary Shares will be considered readily tradable on an established securities market in future years. Non-corporate U.S. Holders that do not meets a minimum holding period requirement or that elect to treat the dividend income as “investment income” pursuant to Section 163(d)(4) of the Code (dealing with the deduction for investment interest expense) will not be eligible for the reduced rates of taxation regardless of PubCo’s status as a qualified foreign corporation. In addition, the rate reduction will not apply to dividends if the recipient of a dividend is obligated to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property. This disallowance applies even if the minimum holding period has been met. Finally, PubCo will not constitute a qualified foreign corporation for purposes of these rules if it is a PFIC for the taxable year in which it pays a dividend or for the preceding taxable year. See the discussion below under “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Status.”

The amount of any dividend paid in foreign currency will be the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency distributed by PubCo, calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date the dividend is includible in the U.S. Holder’s income, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt. Generally, a U.S. Holder should not recognize any foreign currency gain or loss if the foreign currency is converted into U.S. dollars on the date the payment is received. However, any gain or loss resulting from currency exchange fluctuations during the period from the date the U.S. Holder includes the dividend payment in income to the date such U.S. Holder actually converts the payment into U.S. dollars will be treated as ordinary income or loss. That currency exchange income or loss (if any) generally will be income or loss from U.S. sources for foreign tax credit limitation purposes.

To the extent that the amount of any distribution made by PubCo on the PubCo Ordinary Shares exceeds PubCo’s current and accumulated earnings and profits for a taxable year (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), the distribution will first be treated as a tax-free return of capital, causing a reduction in the adjusted basis of the U.S. Holder’s PubCo Ordinary Shares, and to the extent the amount of the distribution exceeds the U.S. Holder’s tax basis, the excess will be taxed as capital gain recognized on a sale or exchange as described below under “— Sale, Exchange, Redemption or Other Taxable Disposition of PubCo Securities.”

Sale, Exchange, Redemption or Other Taxable Disposition of PubCo Securities

Subject to the discussion below under “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Status,” a U.S. Holder will generally recognize gain or loss on any sale, exchange, redemption, or other taxable disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized on the disposition

92

Table of Contents

and such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Warrants. Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder on a taxable disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Warrants will generally be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holder’s holding period in the PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Warrants exceeds one year at the time of the disposition. Preferential tax rates may apply to long-term capital gains of non-corporate U.S. Holders (including individuals). The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder on the sale or exchange of PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Warrants will generally be treated as U.S. source gain or loss.

Exercise or Lapse of a PubCo Warrant

Except as discussed below with respect to the cashless exercise of a PubCo Warrant, a U.S. Holder generally will not recognize gain or loss upon the acquisition of a PubCo ordinary share on the exercise of a PubCo Warrant for cash. A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in a PubCo ordinary share received upon exercise of the PubCo Warrant generally will be an amount equal to the sum of the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the PubCo Warrant exchanged therefor and the exercise price. The U.S. Holder’s holding period for a PubCo ordinary share received upon exercise of the PubCo Warrant will begin on the date following the date of exercise (or possibly the date of exercise) of the PubCo Warrants and will not include the period during which the U.S. Holder held the PubCo Warrants. If a PubCo Warrant is allowed to lapse unexercised, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize a capital loss equal to such holder’s tax basis in the PubCo Warrant.

The tax consequences of a cashless exercise of a warrant are not clear under current tax law. A cashless exercise may be tax-free, either because the exercise is not a gain realization event or because the exercise is treated as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In either tax-free situation, a U.S. Holder’s basis in the PubCo Ordinary Shares received would equal the holder’s basis in the PubCo Warrant. If the cashless exercise were treated as not being a gain recognition event, a U.S. Holder’s holding period in the PubCo Ordinary Shares would be treated as commencing on the date following the date of exercise (or possibly the date of exercise) of the PubCo Warrant. If the cashless exercise were treated as a recapitalization, the holding period of the PubCo ordinary share would include the holding period of the PubCo Warrant.

It is also possible that a cashless exercise could be treated in part as a taxable exchange in which gain or loss would be recognized. In such event, a U.S. Holder would recognize gain or loss with respect to the portion of the exercised PubCo Warrants treated as surrendered to pay the exercise price of the PubCo Warrants (the “surrendered warrants”). The U.S. Holder would recognize capital gain or loss with respect to the surrendered warrants in an amount generally equal to the difference between (i) the fair market value of the PubCo Ordinary Shares that would have been received with respect to the surrendered warrants in a regular exercise of the PubCo Warrants and (ii) the sum of the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the surrendered warrants and the aggregate cash exercise price of such warrants (if they had been exercised in a regular exercise). In this case, a U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the PubCo Ordinary Shares received would equal the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the PubCo Warrants exercised plus (or minus) the gain (or loss) recognized with respect to the surrendered warrants. A U.S. Holder’s holding period for the PubCo Ordinary Shares would commence on the date following the date of exercise (or possibly the date of exercise) of the PubCo Warrant.

Due to the absence of authority on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a cashless exercise, there can be no assurance which, if any, of the alternative tax consequences and holding periods described above would be adopted by the IRS or a court of law. Accordingly, U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of a cashless exercise.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Status

Certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences could apply to a U.S. Holder if Northern Revival, PubCo, or any of its subsidiaries, is treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during which the U.S. Holder holds Northern Revival securities, or after the Business Combination, PubCo securities. A non-U.S. corporation will be classified as a PFIC for any taxable year (a) if at least 75% of its gross income in a taxable year, including its pro rata share of the gross income of any entity in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the interest by value, is passive income, or (b) if at least 50% of its assets in a taxable year of the foreign corporation, ordinarily determined based on fair market value and averaged quarterly over the year, including its pro rata share of the assets

93

Table of Contents

of any entity in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the interest by value, are held for the production of, or produce, passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents and royalties (other than rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business) and gains from the disposition of passive assets.

Because the classification of a non-U.S. corporation as a PFIC is a factual determination made annually after the close of each taxable year, Northern Revival has not provided assurance that it was not a PFIC for its 2021 taxable year or for any prior year. If (a) Northern Revival has been a PFIC for any taxable year during the holding period of a U.S. Holder (and a U.S. Holder of Northern Revival securities has not made certain elections with respect to its Northern Revival securities), and (b) PubCo is not a PFIC in the taxable year of the Business Combination and the Initial Merger does not qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368 of the Code, such U.S. Holder would likely recognize gain (but not loss if the Initial Merger qualifies as a “reorganization”) upon the exchange of Northern Revival securities for PubCo securities pursuant to the Initial Merger. The gain (or loss) would be computed as described above under “— If the Initial Merger Does Not Qualify as a Reorganization.” Any such gain recognized by such U.S. Holder on the exchange of Northern Revival securities for PubCo securities would be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Northern Revival securities. Such amounts allocated for the current taxable year and any taxable year prior to the first taxable year in which Northern Revival was a PFIC would be treated as ordinary income, and not as capital gain, in the U.S. Holder’s taxable year, and such amounts allocated to each other taxable year beginning with the year that Northern Revival became a PFIC would be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for each year to which the gain was allocated, together with a special interest charge on the tax attributable to each such year.

Likewise, whether PubCo or any of its subsidiaries is treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes is a factual determination that must be made annually at the close of each taxable year and, thus, is subject to significant uncertainty. Among other factors, fluctuations in the market price of PubCo Ordinary Shares and how, and how quickly,

PubCo’s uses of liquid assets and cash obtained in the Business Combination may influence whether PubCo or any of its subsidiaries is treated as PFIC. Accordingly, we are unable to determine whether PubCo or any of its subsidiaries will be treated as a PFIC for the taxable year of the Business Combination or for future taxable years, and there can be no assurance that PubCo or any of its subsidiaries will not be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year. Moreover, PubCo does not expect to provide a PFIC annual information statement for 2023 or going forward, which will preclude U.S. Holders from making or maintaining a “qualified electing fund” election under Section 1295 of the Code.

If Northern Revival, or after the Business Combination, PubCo were determined to be a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. Holder of Northern Revival securities or PubCo securities and, in the case of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, or after the Business Combination, PubCo Ordinary Shares, the U.S. Holder did not make a valid “mark-to-market” election, such U.S. Holder generally will be subject to special rules with respect to:

        any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of Northern Revival securities or PubCo securities (including a redemption treated as a sale or exchange); and

        any “excess distribution” made to the U.S. Holder (generally, any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a taxable year of the U.S. Holder that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, or after the Business Combination, PubCo Ordinary Shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter, such U.S. Holder’s holding period for such ordinary shares).

Under these rules:

        the U.S. Holder’s gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for Northern Revival securities, or after the Business Combination, PubCo securities;

        the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which the U.S. holder recognized gain or received the excess distribution, or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holding period before the first day of Northern Revival’s or PubCo’s first taxable year in which Northern Revival or PubCo is a PFIC, will be taxed as ordinary income;

94

Table of Contents

        the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and applicable to the U.S. Holder; and

        the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of the U.S. Holder.

Although a determination as to Northern Revival’s, or after the Business Combination, PubCo’s PFIC status will be made annually, an initial determination that Northern Revival, or after the Business Combination, PubCo is a PFIC will generally apply for subsequent years to a U.S. Holder who held Northern Revival securities while Northern Revival was a PFIC, or after the Business Combination, PubCo securities while PubCo was a PFIC, whether or not Northern Revival, or after the Business Combination, PubCo meets the test for PFIC status in those subsequent years.

If a U.S. Holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable stock, the U.S. Holder may make a mark-to-market election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. If the U.S. Holder makes a valid mark-to-market election for the first taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which the U.S. Holder holds (or is deemed to hold) Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, or after the Business Combination, PubCo Ordinary Shares and for which Northern Revival, or after the Business Combination, PubCo is determined to be a PFIC, such holder generally will not be subject to the PFIC rules described above in respect to its Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, or after the Business Combination, PubCo Ordinary Shares as long as such shares continue to be treated as marketable stock. Instead, in general, the U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income each year that Northern Revival, or after the Business Combination, PubCo is treated as a PFIC the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, or after the Business Combination, PubCo Ordinary Shares at the end of its taxable year over the adjusted basis in its Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, or after the Business Combination, PubCo Ordinary Shares. The U.S. Holder also will be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of its Northern Revival Ordinary Share, or after the Business Combination, PubCo Ordinary Shares over the fair market value of its Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, or after the Business Combination, PubCo Ordinary Shares at the end of its taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previously recognized income as a result of the mark-to-market election). The U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, or after the Business Combination, PubCo Ordinary Shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts, and any further gain recognized on a sale or other taxable disposition of the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, or after the Business Combination, PubCo Ordinary Shares in a taxable year in which PubCo is treated as a PFIC will be treated as ordinary income. Special tax rules may also apply if a U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election for a taxable year after the first taxable year in which the U.S. Holder holds (or is deemed to hold) its Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, or after the Business Combination, PubCo Ordinary Shares and for which Northern Revival, or after the Business Combination, PubCo is treated as a PFIC. Currently, a mark-to-market election may not be made with respect to Northern Revival Warrants, or after the Business Combination, PubCo Warrants.

The mark-to-market election is available only for stock that is regularly traded on a national securities exchange that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Nasdaq (on which Northern Revival Ordinary Shares are listed, and, after the Business Combination, on which PubCo intends to list the Ordinary Shares), or on a foreign exchange or market that the IRS determines has rules sufficient to ensure that the market price represents a legitimate and sound fair market value. Such stock generally will be “regularly traded” for any calendar year during which such stock is traded, other than in de minims quantities, on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter, but no assurances can be given in this regard with respect to the Northern Revival Ordinary Share, or after the Business Combination, PubCo Ordinary Shares. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability and tax consequences of a mark-to-market election in respect of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, or after the Business Combination, PubCo Ordinary Shares under their particular circumstances.

If Northern Revival, or after the Business Combination, PubCo is a PFIC and, at any time, has a foreign subsidiary that is classified as a PFIC, U.S. Holders generally would be deemed to own a portion of the shares of such lower-tier PFIC, and generally could incur liability for the deferred tax and interest charge described above if Northern Revival, or after the Business Combination, PubCo were to receive a distribution from, or dispose of all or part of Northern Revival’s, or after the Business Combination, PubCo’s interest in, the lower-tier PFIC (even though such U.S. Holder would not receive the proceeds of those distributions or dispositions) or the U.S. Holders otherwise

95

Table of Contents

were deemed to have disposed of an interest in the lower-tier PFIC. A mark-to-market election generally would not be available with respect to such lower-tier PFIC. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax issues raised by lower-tier PFICs.

A U.S. Holder that owns (or is deemed to own) shares in a PFIC during any taxable year of the U.S. Holder, may have to file an IRS Form 8621 (whether or not a mark-to-market election is or has been made) with such U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax return and provide any such other information as may be required by the U.S. Treasury Department. Failure to do so, if required, will extend the statute of limitations until such required information is furnished to the IRS.

The rules dealing with PFICs and mark-to-market elections are very complex and are affected by various factors in addition to those described above. Accordingly, U.S. Holders of Northern Revival securities, or after the Business Combination, PubCo securities should consult their own tax advisors concerning the application of the PFIC rules to Northern Revival securities, or after the Business Combination, PubCo securities under their particular circumstances.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

In general, information reporting requirements will apply to dividends received by U.S. Holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares (including constructive dividends), and the proceeds received on the disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants effected within the United States (and, in certain cases, outside the United States), in each case, other than U.S. Holders that are exempt recipients (such as corporations). Information reporting requirements will also apply to redemptions from U.S. Holders of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares. Backup withholding (currently at a rate of 24%) may apply to such amounts if the U.S. Holder fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number (generally on an IRS Form W-9 provided to the paying agent or the U.S. Holder’s broker) or is otherwise subject to backup withholding.

Certain U.S. Holders holding specified foreign financial assets with an aggregate value in excess of the applicable dollar threshold are required to report information to the IRS relating to PubCo securities, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for PubCo securities held in accounts maintained by U.S. financial institutions), by attaching a complete IRS Form 8938, Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets, with their tax return, for each year in which they hold PubCo securities. In addition to these requirements, U.S. Holders may be required to annually file FinCEN Report 114 (Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts) with the U.S. Department of Treasury. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding information reporting requirements relating to their ownership of PubCo securities.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or credit against a holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

INFORMATION ABOUT NORTHERN REVIVAL

Overview

We are a newly organized blank check company incorporated in November 2020 as a Cayman Islands exempted company and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

Our registration statement for our Northern Revival IPO was declared effective on February 1, 2021. On February 4, 2021, we consummated our Northern Revival IPO of 24,150,000 Northern Revival Northern Revival Units (with respect to the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares included in the Northern Revival Units offered, the “Public Shares”), including 3,150,000 additional Northern Revival Units to cover over-allotments (the “Over-Allotment Units”), at $10.00 per Northern Revival Unit, generating gross proceeds of $241.5 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $14.4 million, inclusive of approximately $9.1 million for deferred underwriting commissions (which fees were subsequently waived by the underwriters).

Simultaneously with the closing of the Northern Revival IPO, we consummated the Private Placement of 4,553,334 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant with the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $6.8 million.

Upon the closing of the Northern Revival IPO and the Private Placement, $241.5 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the Northern Revival IPO and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement were placed in a Trust Account (“Trust Account”) with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee and invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by Northern Revival, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of an Initial Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of its Northern Revival IPO and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating an Initial Business Combination. Our Initial Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes, if permitted, and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting fees and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time we sign a definitive agreement in connection with the Initial Business Combination. However, we will only complete an Initial Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

We consummated our Northern Revival IPO on February 4, 2021. As of December 31, 2022, we had not yet commenced operations. All activity for the period from November 4, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2022 related to our formation and the Northern Revival IPO, and since the Northern Revival IPO, the search for a prospective Initial Business Combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Initial Business Combination, at the earliest. We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Northern Revival IPO.

We will provide the holders of our Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of an Initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Initial Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether we will seek shareholder approval of our Initial Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by us, solely in our discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.00 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to Northern Revival to pay its tax obligations). The per-share amount to be distributed to Public Shareholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions Northern Revival will pay to the underwriters (notwithstanding the foregoing, the underwriters have agreed to waive the deferred underwriting commissions).

Table of Contents

If we are unable to complete an Initial Business Combination prior to February 4, 2024 (the “Combination Period”), we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

Recent Developments

In connection with the Business Combination, on March 16, 2023, Northern Revival and Braiin entered into an OTC Equity Prepaid Forward Transaction agreement (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”) with certain funds managed by Meteora Capital, LLC, an investor in the Sponsor (the “Meteora Funds”).

Shareholder Meetings

On January 27, 2023, we held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders where the shareholders approved a special resolution to amend our Northern Revival Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Extension Amendment”) to extend the date by which Northern Revival may either (i) consummate a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, from February 4, 2023 to September 4, 2023 or such earlier date as determined by the board or (ii) cease its operations, except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete an initial business combination, and (iii) redeem all of the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, included as part of the Northern Revival Units sold in the Northern Revival IPO that was consummated on February 4, 2021 from February 4, 2023 to September 4, 2023 or such earlier date as determined by the Northern Revival Board.

On March 16, 2023, we held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders where the shareholders approved: (i) a special resolution, to amend our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “charter”) to change the name of the company from Noble Rock Acquisition Corporation to Northern Revival Acquisition Corporation (the “Name Change Proposal”); and (ii) a special resolution, to amend the charter to change certain provisions which restrict our Class B ordinary shares from converting to Northern Revival Ordinary Shares prior to the closing of the business combination (the “Conversion Proposal”). On February 9, 2023, certain officers and directors of Northern Revival resigned, a new management team was appointed and we agreed to change our name in connection with these changes. The purpose of the Name Change Proposal was to amend the name of the company accordingly. The purpose of the Conversion Proposal was to remove restrictions contained in the charter in order to permit the Class B ordinary shares to convert into Northern Revival Ordinary Shares prior to the closing of the business combination which will enable Northern Revival to meet certain Nasdaq listing requirements. The holders of such shares will continue to be subject to the same restrictions as the Class B ordinary shares before any conversion, including, among others, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of a business combination as described in the prospectus for our Northern Revival IPO.

In connection with the solicitation of proxies in connection with the Extension Amendment, holders of 21,240,830 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares of our then 24,150,000 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares outstanding with redemption rights, elected to redeem their shares at a per share redemption price of approximately $10.17. In connection with the solicitation of proxies in connection with the Conversion Proposal, holders of 433,699 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares of our then-outstanding 8,946,670 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares outstanding with redemption rights, elected to redeem their shares at a per share redemption price of approximately $10.33. On March 28, 2023, Northern Revival elected to permit one shareholder, at the shareholder’s request, to reverse their redemption as to 5,000 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, resulting in a total of 428,699 redemptions in connection with the solicitation of proxies in connection with the Conversion Proposal. On April 5, 2023, the Sponsor elected to convert 6,037,499 Class B ordinary shares into Northern Revival Ordinary Shares. Following such meetings and the redemptions related thereto and the conversion of the Class B ordinary shares, there are a total of 8,517,970 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, and (ii) one Class B ordinary share. As of April 27, 2023 there was a total of approximately $25.8 million held in the Trust Account.

As previously disclosed in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the Extension Proposal, the Sponsor has indicated that, it will contribute to Northern Revival as a loan (each loan being referred to herein as a “contribution”) the lesser of (i) $100,000 and (ii) an aggregate amount equal to $0.055 multiplied by the number of public shares of Northern Revival that are not redeemed, for each month commencing on February 4, 2023 and on or prior to the fourth day of each subsequent month, if applicable (each such month period an “extension period”) until the earlier of (x) the date of the extraordinary general meeting held in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an Initial Business Combination (y) September 4, 2023 and (z) the date that the board determines in its sole discretion to no longer seek an Initial Business Combination. Each contribution will be deposited in the Trust Account within three business days of the beginning of the extended period which such contribution is for. The contributions will be repayable by Northern Revival to the Sponsor upon consummation of an Initial Business Combination. The Northern Revival Board will have the sole discretion whether to continue extending for additional extension periods, and if the board determines not to continue extending for additional months, the additional contributions will terminate. If this occurs, Northern Revival would wind up Northern Revival’s affairs and redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Northern Revival Memorandum and Articles of Association. The Sponsor contributed to Northern Revival as a loan the first, second and third deposits of $100,000 each into the Trust Account on February 4, 2023, March 4, 2023 and April 4, 2023.

On August 30, 2023, we held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Second Extension Meeting”) where the shareholders approved a special resolution to amend our Northern Revival Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Second Extension Amendment”) to (i) extend the date by which Northern Revival may either (a) consummate a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, from September 4, 2023 to February 4, 2024 or such earlier date as determined by the board or (b) cease its operations, except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete an initial business combination, and (c) redeem all of the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, included as part of the Northern Revival Units sold in the Northern Revival IPO that was consummated on February 4, 2021 from September 4, 2023 to February 4, 2024 or such earlier date as determined by the Northern Revival Board and (ii) redeem public shares irrespective of whether such redemption would exceed an amount that would cause the company’s net tangible assets to be less than US$5,000,001.

In connection with the solicitation of proxies in connection with the Second Extension Amendment, holders of 570,227 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares of our then-outstanding 8,517,970 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares outstanding, elected to redeem their shares at a per share redemption price of approximately $10.72. Following the meeting and the redemptions related thereto, there are a total of 7,947,743 Northern Revival Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, and (ii) one Class B ordinary share. As of September 12, 2023 there was a total of approximately $20.48 million held in the Trust Account.

As previously disclosed in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the Second Extension Proposal, the Sponsor has indicated that, it will contribute to Northern Revival as a loan (each loan being referred to herein as a “contribution”) an aggregate amount equal to $0.03 multiplied by the number of public shares of the company that are not redeemed in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the extension proposal, for each month, commencing on September 4, 2023 and on or prior to the fourth day of each subsequent month, if applicable (each such month period an “extension period”) until the earlier of (x) the date of the meeting held in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an initial business combination, (y) the extended date, and (z) the date that the board determines in its sole discretion to no longer seek an initial business combination. Each contribution will be deposited in the Trust Account within three business days of the beginning of the extended period which such contribution is for. The sponsor will not make any contribution unless the extension proposal is approved and the extension is completed. The contributions will be repayable by the company to the sponsor upon consummation of an initial business combination.

Nasdaq Letter

On April 4, 2023, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC notifying Northern Revival that for the last 30 consecutive business days prior to the date of the letter, Northern Revival’s Minimum Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) was less than $35.0 million, which does not meet the requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as required by Nasdaq Listing

99

Table of Contents

Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “MVLS Rule”). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), Nasdaq has provided Northern Revival with 180 calendar days, or until October 3, 2023, to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule. The MVLS Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of Northern Revival’s securities on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

Our Sponsor, the holder of our Class B ordinary shares, agreed to convert 6,037,499 of its Class B ordinary shares into Northern Revival Ordinary Shares which Northern Revival believes will allow it to regain compliance with the MVLS requirement. On a pro forma basis, based on the closing stock price of the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares on April 4, 2023 of $10.27, this conversion would increase the MVLS by approximately $62 million. In order for Northern Revival to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule, Northern Revival’s MVLS must equal or exceed $35.0 million for at least 10 consecutive trading days however and Nasdaq must provide written confirmation to Northern Revival to close the matter.

In the event Northern Revival does not regain compliance with the MVLS Rule prior to the expiration of the compliance period, it will receive written notification that its securities are subject to delisting. At that time, Northern Revival may appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel.

Our Business Strategy

Our board and advisory team will leverage their long-standing partnerships, vast investment experience, deep networks, and technology industry expertise to identify and generate attractive acquisition opportunities among middle-market technology companies with anticipated enterprise values between $750 million and $3 billion. To the extent the purchase price for any acquisition to be paid in cash exceeds the net proceeds available to us, we may issue debt or equity to consummate the acquisition. Such additional financing may come in the form of bank financings or preferred equity, common equity or debt offerings, or a combination of the foregoing.

We believe our management team’s experience and track record, are differentiated and will enable us to successfully identify and execute an Initial Business Combination. We will leverage our extensive network of relationships across the middle-market technology ecosystem to assist in the identification of a target for the Initial Business Combination.

Our management team, board and advisors have experience in:

        investing in leading technology companies to accelerate their growth and maturation;

        sourcing, structuring, acquiring, financing, and selling software and tech-enabled services businesses;

        fostering relationships with sellers, capital providers and target management teams.

        operating companies, setting and changing strategies, and identifying, mentoring and recruiting exceptional talent;

        developing and growing companies, both organically and through strategic transactions and acquisitions, and expanding the product range and geographic footprint;

        deploying a comprehensive value-creation toolkit including identifying avenues for growth acceleration and delivering operating efficiency; and

        accessing the capital markets, including financing businesses and helping companies transition to public ownership.

The past performance of our management team or their respective affiliates, is not a guarantee either (i) of success with respect to any Initial Business Combination we may consummate or (ii) that we will be able to identify a suitable candidate for our Initial Business Combination. You should not rely on the historical record of our management team’s or their respective affiliates’ performance as indicative of our future performance. Our management team and their respective affiliates have been involved with a large number of public and private companies in addition to those identified above, not all of which have achieved similar performance levels.

Our Acquisition Process

In evaluating a prospective target business, we expect to conduct an extensive due diligence review, which may encompass, as applicable and among other things, meetings with members of the target’s management and other employees, document reviews, interviews of customers and suppliers, inspection of facilities and a review of financial and other information about the target and its industry.

Certain of our directors and officers indirectly own founder shares and/or Private Placement Warrants following the Northern Revival IPO and, accordingly, may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our Initial Business Combination. Further, such officers and directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a particular Initial Business Combination if the retention or resignation of any such officers and directors was included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our Initial 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 pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present an Initial Business Combination opportunity to such entity subject to his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations. As a result, if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of an Initial Business Combination opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, then, subject to such officer’s and director’s fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law, he or she will need to honor such fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such Initial Business Combination opportunity to such entity, before we can pursue such opportunity. If these other entities decide to pursue any such opportunity, we may be precluded from pursuing the same. However, we do not expect these duties to materially affect our ability to complete our Initial Business Combination. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (i) no individual serving as a director or an officer shall have any duty, except and to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as us; and (ii) we renounce any interest or expectancy in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a Business Opportunity for any director or officer, on the one hand, and us, on the other. Additionally, certain of our directors and officers are now, and our Sponsor, directors and officers may in the future become, affiliated with entities that are engaged in a similar business.

Initial Business Combination

Nasdaq listing rules require that our Initial Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes, if permitted, and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting fees and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account). We refer to this as the 80% fair market value test. If our board of directors is not able to independently determine the fair market value of the target business or businesses, we will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions with respect to the satisfaction of such criteria. We do not currently intend to purchase multiple businesses in unrelated industries in conjunction with our Initial Business Combination, although there is no assurance that will be the case.

We anticipate structuring our Initial Business Combination so that the post-transaction company in which our public shareholders own shares will own or acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests or assets of the target business or businesses. We may, however, structure our Initial Business Combination such that the post-transaction company owns or acquires less than 100% of such interests or assets of the target business in order to meet certain objectives of the target management team or shareholders or for other reasons, but we will only complete such Initial Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). Even if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target, our shareholders prior to our Initial Business Combination may collectively own a minority interest in the post-transaction company, depending on valuations ascribed to the target and us in our Initial Business Combination transaction. For example, we could pursue a transaction in which we issue a substantial number of new shares in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding capital stock,

101

Table of Contents

shares or other equity securities of a target business or issue a substantial number of new shares to third-parties in connection with financing our Initial Business Combination. In this case, we would acquire a 100% controlling interest in the target. However, as a result of the issuance of a substantial number of new shares, our shareholders immediately prior to our Initial Business Combination could own less than a majority of our issued and outstanding shares subsequent to our Initial Business Combination. If less than 100% of the equity interests or assets of a target business or businesses are owned or acquired by the post-transaction company, the portion of such business or businesses that is owned or acquired is what will be valued for purposes of the 80% fair market value test. If our Initial Business Combination involves more than one target business, the 80% fair market value test will be based on the aggregate value of all of the target businesses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if we are not then listed on Nasdaq for whatever reason, we would no longer be required to meet the foregoing 80% fair market value test.

Departure of certain officers and directors; name change and Class B conversion

On February 9, 2023, in accordance with the provisions of a binding agreement that provides for the withdrawal or significant reduction in investment in the Sponsor by certain existing investors and the resulting transfer of control of the Sponsor: (i) Whitney Bower resigned as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, (ii) Peter Low resigned as Chief Financial Officer and director and (iii) Michael Alter and David Lang resigned as independent directors, (iv) the board appointed Aemish Shah as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Manpreet Singh as Chief Financial Officer and a director, and also appointed Joseph Tonnos, David Tanzer and Asad Zafar to serve as directors, determining each of Messrs. Tonnos, Tanzer and Zafar to be an independent director under the listing rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. We agreed to change our name in connection with these changes. Mr. Tonnos served on the Northern Revival board of directors from February 9, 2023 until his resignation on March 15, 2023. Such resignation was not a result of disagreement with Northern Revival on any matter relating to its operations, policies or practices.

On March 16, 2023, we held our General Meeting for the purposes of considering and voting upon: (i) a special resolution, to amend our charter to change the name of the company from Noble Rock Acquisition Corporation to Northern Revival Acquisition Corporation; and (ii) a special resolution, to amend the charter to change certain provisions which restrict our Class B ordinary shares from converting to Northern Revival Ordinary Shares prior to the closing of the business combination. Both the Name Change Proposal and Conversion Proposal were approved by the shareholders at the General Meeting. The purpose of the Name Change Proposal was to amend the name of the company as agreed in connection with the departures of Messrs. Bower, Low, Alter and Lang. The purpose of the Conversion Proposal was to remove restrictions contained in the charter in order to permit the Class B ordinary shares to convert into Northern Revival Ordinary Shares prior to the closing of the business combination which will enable Northern Revival to meet certain Nasdaq listing requirements. The holders of such shares will continue to be subject to the same restrictions as the Class B ordinary shares before any conversion, including, among others, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of a business combination as described in the prospectus for our Northern Revival IPO.

Extension, redemptions and contributions

On January 27, 2023, we held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders where the shareholders approved a special resolution to amend our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Extension Amendment”) to extend the date by which Northern Revival may either (i) consummate a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, from February 4, 2023 to September 4, 2023 (such later date, the “extended date”) or such earlier date as determined by the board or (ii) cease its operations, except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete an initial business combination, and (iii) redeem all of the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares included as part of the Northern Revival Units sold in the Northern Revival IPO that was consummated on February 4, 2021 from February 4, 2023 to September 4, 2023 or such earlier date as determined by the Northern Revival Board.

In connection with the solicitation of proxies in connection with the Extension Amendment, holders of 21,240,830 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares of our then 24,150,000 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares outstanding with redemption rights, elected to redeem their shares at a per share redemption price of approximately $10.17. In connection with the solicitation of proxies in connection with the Conversion Proposal, holders of 433,699 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares of our then outstanding 8,946,670 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares outstanding with redemption rights, elected to redeem their shares at a per share redemption price of approximately $10.33.

On March 28, 2023, Northern Revival elected to permit one shareholder, at the shareholder’s request, to reverse their redemption as to 5,000 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, resulting in a total of 428,699 redemptions in connection with the solicitation of proxies in connection with the Conversion Proposal. On April 5, 2023, the Sponsor elected to convert 6,037,499 Class B ordinary shares into Northern Revival Ordinary Shares. Following such meetings and the redemptions related thereto and the conversion of the Class B ordinary shares, there are a total of 8,517,970 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding and (ii) one Class B ordinary share outstanding. As of April 27, 2023, there was a total of approximately $25.8 million held in the Trust Account.

As previously disclosed in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the Extension Proposal, the Sponsor has indicated that, it will contribute to Northern Revival as a loan (each loan being referred to herein as a “contribution”) the lesser of (i) $100,000 and (ii) an aggregate amount equal to $0.055 multiplied by the number of public shares of Northern Revival that are not redeemed, for each month commencing on February 4, 2023 and on or prior to the fourth day of each subsequent month, if applicable (each such month period an “extension period”) until the earlier of (x) the date of the extraordinary general meeting held in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an Initial Business Combination (y) the extended date and (z) the date that the board determines in its sole discretion to no longer seek an Initial Business Combination. Each contribution will be deposited in the Trust Account within three business days of the beginning of the extended period which such contribution is for. The contributions will be repayable by Northern Revival to the Sponsor upon consummation of an Initial Business Combination. Northern Revival’s board of directors will have the sole discretion whether to continue extending for additional extension periods, and if the board determines not to continue extending for additional months, the additional contributions will terminate. If this occurs, Northern Revival would wind up Northern Revival’s affairs and redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares in accordance with the procedures set forth in Northern Revival’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (“Charter”). The Sponsor contributed to Northern Revival as a loan the first, second and third deposits of $100,000 each into the Trust Account on February 4, 2023, March 4, 2023 and April 4, 2023.

On August 30, 2023, we held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Second Extension Meeting”) where the shareholders approved a special resolution to amend our Northern Revival Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Second Extension Amendment”) to (i) extend the date by which Northern Revival may either (a) consummate a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, from September 4, 2023 to February 4, 2024 or such earlier date as determined by the board or (b) cease its operations, except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete an initial business combination, and (c) redeem all of the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, included as part of the Northern Revival Units sold in the Northern Revival IPO that was consummated on February 4, 2021 from September 4, 2023 to February 4, 2024 or such earlier date as determined by the Northern Revival Board and (ii) redeem public shares irrespective of whether such redemption would exceed an amount that would cause the company’s net tangible assets to be less than US$5,000,001.

In connection with the solicitation of proxies in connection with the Second Extension Amendment, holders of 570,227 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares of our then 8,517,970 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares outstanding, elected to redeem their shares at a per share redemption price of approximately $10.72. Following the meeting and the redemptions related thereto, there are a total of 7,947,743 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, and (ii) one Class B ordinary share. As of September 12, 2023 there was a total of approximately $20.48 million held in the Trust Account.

As previously disclosed in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the Second Extension Proposal, the Sponsor has indicated that, it will contribute to Northern Revival as a loan (each loan being referred to herein as a “contribution”) an aggregate amount equal to $0.03 multiplied by the number of public shares of the company that are not redeemed in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the extension proposal, for each month, commencing on September 4, 2023 and on or prior to the fourth day of each subsequent month, if applicable (each such month period an “extension period”) until the earlier of (x) the date of the meeting held in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an initial business combination, (y) the extended date, and (z) the date that the board determines in its sole discretion to no longer seek an initial business combination. Each contribution will be deposited in the Trust Account within three business days of the beginning of the extended period which such contribution is for. The sponsor will not make any contribution unless the extension proposal is approved and the extension is completed. The contributions will be repayable by the company to the sponsor upon consummation of an initial business combination.

Competition

We expect to encounter intense competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours, including private investors (which may be individuals or investment partnerships), other blank check companies and other entities, domestic and international, competing for the types of businesses we intend to acquire. Many of these individuals and entities are well established and have extensive experience in identifying and effecting, directly or indirectly, acquisitions of companies operating in or providing services to various industries. Many of these competitors possess greater technical, human and other resources or more local industry knowledge than we do and our financial resources will be relatively limited when contrasted with those of many of these competitors. Additionally, the number of blank check companies looking for Initial Business Combination targets has increased compared to recent years and many of these blank check companies are sponsored by entities or persons that have significant experience with completing Initial Business Combinations. While we believe there are numerous target businesses we could potentially acquire with the net proceeds of the Northern Revival IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, our ability to compete with respect to the acquisition of certain target businesses that are sizable will be limited by our available financial resources. This inherent competitive limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of certain target businesses. Furthermore, in the event we seek shareholder approval of our Initial Business Combination and we are obligated to pay cash for our Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, it will potentially reduce the resources available to us for our Initial Business Combination. Any of these obligations may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating an Initial Business Combination.

Human Capital Management

We do not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the completion of our Initial Business Combination. Members of our management team are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters but they intend to devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to our affairs until we have completed our Initial Business Combination. The amount of time that any such person will devote in any time period will vary based on whether a target business has been selected for our Initial Business Combination and the current stage of the Initial Business Combination process.

Director Independence

Nasdaq listing rules require that a majority of our board of directors be independent within one year of our Initial Public Offering. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship which in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. We have currently have three “independent directors” as defined in the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules. Our board has determined that David Tanzer, Asad Zafar, Benjamin Rifken and Aimee Christensen are independent directors under applicable SEC and Nasdaq rules. Our independent directors will have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

Number, Terms of Office and Election of Officers and Directors

Our board of directors consists of six members. Prior to our Initial Business Combination, holders of our founder shares will have the right to appoint all of our directors and remove members of the board of directors for any reason, and holders of our public shares will not have the right to vote on the appointment of directors during such time. These provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association may only be amended by a special resolution passed by a majority of at least 90% of our ordinary shares attending and voting in a general meeting. Each of our directors will hold office for a two-year term. Subject to any other special rights applicable to the shareholders, any vacancies on our board of directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present and voting at the meeting of our board of directors or by a majority of the holders of our ordinary shares (or, prior to our Initial Business Combination, holders of our founder shares).

106

Table of Contents

Our officers are appointed by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors, rather than for specific terms of office. Our board of directors is authorized to appoint persons to the offices set forth in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association as it deems appropriate. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that our officers may consist of a Chairman, a Chief Executive Officer, a President, a Chief Operating Officer, a Chief Financial Officer, Vice Presidents, a Secretary, Assistant Secretaries, a Treasurer and such other offices as may be determined by the board of directors.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Our board of directors has three standing committees — an audit committee in compliance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act, a compensation committee and a nominating committee, each comprised of independent directors. Under Nasdaq listing rule 5615(b)(1), a company listing in connection with its initial public offering is permitted to phase in its compliance with the independent committee requirements. We do not intend to rely on the phase-in schedules set forth in Nasdaq listing rule 5615(b)(1).

Audit Committee

The members of our audit committee are Benjamin Rifken, David Tanzer and Asad Zafar. Asad Zafar serves as chair of the audit committee.

Each member of the audit committee is financially literate and our board of directors has determined that each of David Tanzer and Asad Zafar qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules and has accounting or related financial management expertise.

We have adopted an audit committee charter, which details the purpose and principal functions of the audit committee, including:

        assisting board oversight of (1) the integrity of our financial statements, (2) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (3) our independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications and independence, and (4) the performance of our internal audit function and independent registered public accounting firm;

        the appointment, compensation, retention, replacement, and oversight of the work of the independent registered public accounting firm and any other independent registered public accounting firm engaged by us;

        pre-approving all audit and non-audit services to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm or any other registered public accounting firm engaged by us, and establishing pre-approval policies and procedures;

        reviewing and discussing with the independent registered public accounting firm all relationships the auditors have with us in order to evaluate their continued independence;

        setting clear hiring policies for employees or former employees of the independent registered public accounting firm;

        setting clear policies for audit partner rotation in compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

        obtaining and reviewing a report, at least annually, from the independent registered public accounting firm describing (1) the independent registered public accounting firm’s internal quality-control procedures and (2) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the audit firm, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities, within the preceding five years respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the firm and any steps taken to deal with such issues;

        meeting to review and discuss our annual audited financial statements and quarterly financial statements with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, including reviewing our specific disclosures under “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”;

107

Table of Contents

        reviewing and approving any related party transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC prior to us entering into such transaction; and

        reviewing with management, the independent registered public accounting firm, and our legal advisors, as appropriate, any legal, regulatory or compliance matters, including any correspondence with regulators or government agencies and any employee complaints or published reports that raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies and any significant changes in accounting standards or rules promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC or other regulatory authorities.

Compensation Committee

The members of our compensation committee are Asad Zafar, Benjamin Rifken and David Tanzer. Asad Zafar serves as chair of the compensation committee.

We have adopted a compensation committee charter, which details the purpose and responsibility of the compensation committee, including:

        reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, evaluating our Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our Chief Executive Officer based on such evaluation;

        reviewing and making recommendations to our board of directors with respect to the compensation, and any incentive-compensation and equity-based plans that are subject to board approval of all of our other officers;

        reviewing our executive compensation policies and plans;

        implementing and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans;

        assisting management in complying with our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements;

        approving all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our officers and employees;

        producing a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement; and

        reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors.

The charter also provides that the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, independent legal counsel or other adviser and is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the compensation committee will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by Nasdaq and the SEC.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The members of our nominating and corporate governance committee are Benjamin Rifken, David Tanzer and Asad Zafar. Asad Zafar serves as chair of the nominating and corporate governance committee.

We have adopted a nominating and corporate governance committee charter, which details the purpose and responsibilities of the nominating and corporate governance committee, including:

        identifying, screening and reviewing individuals qualified to serve as directors, consistent with criteria approved by the board of directors, and recommending to the board of directors candidates for nomination for appointment at the annual general meeting or to fill vacancies on the board of directors;

        developing and recommending to the board of directors and overseeing implementation of our corporate governance guidelines;

108

Table of Contents

        coordinating and overseeing the annual self-evaluation of the board of directors, its committees, individual directors and management in the governance of the company; and

        reviewing on a regular basis our overall corporate governance and recommending improvements as and when necessary.

The charter also provides that the nominating and corporate governance committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of, and terminate, any search firm to be used to identify director candidates, and is directly responsible for approving the search firm’s fees and other retention terms.

We have not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. In general, in identifying and evaluating nominees for director, the board of directors considers educational background, diversity of professional experience, knowledge of our business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and the ability to represent the best interests of our shareholders. Prior to our Initial Business Combination, holders of our public shares will not have the right to recommend director candidates for nomination to our board of directors.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of ethics and business conduct (our “Code of Ethics”) applicable to our directors, officers and employees. We have filed a copy of our form of our Code of Ethics as an exhibit to our Annual Report. You are able to review these documents by accessing our public filings at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, we will provide a copy of the Code of Ethics without charge upon request. We intend to disclose any amendments to or waivers of certain provisions of our Code of Ethics in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

Conflicts of Interest

Under Cayman Islands law, directors and officers owe the following fiduciary duties:

        duty to act in good faith in what the director or officer believes to be in the best interests of the company as a whole;

        duty to exercise powers for the purposes for which those powers were conferred and not for a collateral purpose;

        directors should not improperly fetter the exercise of future discretion;

        duty to exercise powers fairly as between different sections of shareholders;

        duty not to put themselves in a position in which there is a conflict between their duty to the company and their personal interests; and

        duty to exercise independent judgment.

In addition to the above, directors also owe a duty of care, which is not fiduciary in nature. This duty has been defined as a requirement to act as a reasonably diligent person having both the general knowledge, skill and experience that may reasonably be expected of a person carrying out the same functions as are carried out by that director in relation to the company and the general knowledge, skill and experience which that director has.

As set out above, directors have a duty not to put themselves in a position of conflict and this includes a duty not to engage in self-dealing, or to otherwise benefit as a result of their position. However, in some instances what would otherwise be a breach of this duty can be forgiven and/or authorized in advance by the shareholders; provided that there is full disclosure by the directors. This can be done by way of permission granted in the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association or alternatively by shareholder approval at general meetings.

Our management team, in their capacities as directors, officers or employees of our Sponsor or its affiliates or in their other endeavors, may choose to present potential Initial Business Combinations to other entities to which our directors and officers currently have fiduciary duties or contractual obligations, current or future entities affiliated with or managed by our Sponsor, or third parties, before they present such opportunities to us, subject to his or her fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law and any other applicable fiduciary duties.

109

Table of Contents

Our directors and officers presently have, and any of them in the future may have, additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present an Initial Business Combination opportunity to such entity. Accordingly, if any of our directors or officers becomes aware of an Initial Business Combination opportunity that is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she may need to honor these fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such Initial Business Combination opportunity to such entity, subject to his or her fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law. We do not believe, however, that the fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of our directors or officers will materially affect our ability to identify and pursue Initial Business Combination opportunities or complete our Initial Business Combination.

Potential investors should also be aware of the following potential conflicts of interest:

        None of our directors or officers is required to commit his or her full time to our affairs and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in allocating his or her time among various business activities.

        In the course of their other business activities, our directors and officers may become aware of investment and business opportunities that may be appropriate for presentation to us as well as the other entities with which they are affiliated. Our management may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.

        In connection with the Initial Public Offering, our initial shareholders and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares and public shares held by them in connection with the consummation of our Initial Business Combination, and our initial shareholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares if we fail to consummate our Initial Business Combination within 24 months after the closing of the Initial Public Offering or such later date as extended. However, if our initial shareholders (or our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer or affiliates) acquire public shares, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such public shares if we fail to consummate our Initial Business Combination within the prescribed time frame. If we do not complete our Initial Business Combination within such applicable time period, the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Warrants held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of our public shares, and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. With certain limited exceptions, the founder shares will not be transferable, assignable or salable by our initial shareholders until the earlier of: (1) one year after the completion of our Initial Business Combination; and (2) subsequent to our Initial Business Combination (x) if the last reported sale price of our Northern Revival Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, rights issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after our Initial Business Combination or (y) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of our public shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. With certain limited exceptions, the Private Placement Warrants and the ordinary shares underlying such warrants, will not be transferable, assignable or salable by our Sponsor until 30 days after the completion of our Initial Business Combination. Since our Sponsor and directors and officers will directly or indirectly own ordinary shares and warrants following the Initial Public Offering, our directors and officers may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our Initial Business Combination.

        Our directors and officers may negotiate employment or consulting agreements with a target business in connection with a particular Initial Business Combination. These agreements may provide for them to receive compensation following our Initial Business Combination and as a result, may cause them to have conflicts of interest in determining whether to proceed with a particular Initial Business Combination.

        Our directors and officers may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a particular Initial Business Combination if the retention or resignation of any such directors and officers was included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our Initial Business Combination.

110

Table of Contents

The conflicts described above may not be resolved in our favor.

Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (i) no individual serving as a director or an officer shall have any duty, except and to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as us; and (ii) we renounce any interest or expectancy in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a Business Opportunity for any director or officer, on the one hand, and us, on the other. We do not believe, however, that any of the foregoing fiduciary duties or contractual obligations will materially affect our ability to identify and pursue Initial Business Combination opportunities or complete our Initial Business Combination.

We are not prohibited from pursuing an Initial Business Combination with a company that is affiliated with our Sponsor, directors or officers. In the event we seek to complete our Initial Business Combination with such a company, we, or a committee of independent and disinterested directors, would obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that is a member of FINRA or from an independent accounting firm that such an Initial Business Combination is fair to our company from a financial point of view.

In addition, our Sponsor or any of its affiliates may make additional investments in Northern Revival in connection with the Initial Business Combination, although our Sponsor and its affiliates have no obligation or current intention to do so. If our Sponsor or any of its affiliates elects to make additional investments, such proposed investments could influence our Sponsor’s motivation to complete an Initial Business Combination.

In the event that we submit our Initial Business Combination to our public shareholders for a vote, our initial shareholders and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer have agreed, pursuant to the terms of a letter agreement entered into with us, to vote any founder shares (and their permitted transferees will agree) and public shares held by them in favor of our Initial Business Combination.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION OF NORTHERN REVIVAL

Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references in this section to “we,” “our,” “us” and other similar terms refer to Northern Revival before the Business Combination.

None of our directors or officers have received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. Commencing on the date that our securities are first listed on Nasdaq through the earlier of consummation of our Initial Business Combination and our liquidation, we will pay our Sponsor a total of $30,000 per month for office space, administrative, financial and support services. Other than as described herein, no compensation of any kind, including any finder’s fee, reimbursement or consulting fee, will be paid by us to our Sponsor, officers and directors, or any affiliate of our Sponsor or officers, prior to, or in connection with any services rendered in order to effectuate, the consummation of our Initial Business Combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is). However, our Sponsor, directors and officers, 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 Initial Business Combinations. Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by us to our Sponsor, directors, officers or our or any of their affiliates.

After the completion of our Initial Business Combination, directors or members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other compensation from the combined company. All compensation will be fully disclosed to shareholders, to the extent then known, in the tender offer materials or proxy solicitation materials furnished to our shareholders in connection with a proposed Initial Business Combination. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time, because the directors of the post-combination business will be responsible for determining executive officer and director compensation. Any compensation to be paid to our officers after the completion of our Initial Business Combination will be determined by a compensation committee constituted solely by independent directors.

We are not party to any agreements with our directors and officers that provide for benefits upon termination of employment. The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements may influence our management’s motivation in identifying or selecting a target business, and we do not believe that the ability of our management to remain with us after the consummation of our Initial Business Combination should be a determining factor in our decision to proceed with any potential Initial Business Combination.

Sponsor LLC Agreement

On December 31, 2020, each of our then directors (or their affiliates), officers and advisors together with certain third-party investors, including our anchor investor, entered into an amended and restated limited liability company agreement (the “Sponsor LLC Agreement”) of our Sponsor, Northern Revival Sponsor LLC which was then known as Noble Rock Sponsor LLC. In connection with the provisions of a binding agreement that provides for the withdrawal or significant reduction in investment in the Sponsor by certain existing investors and the resulting transfer of control of the Sponsor, the Sponsor changed its name to Northern Revival Sponsor LLC and Aemish Shah became the sole manager of the Sponsor.

Pursuant to the Sponsor LLC Agreement, certain of our directors (or their affiliates), officers and advisors made capital contributions to our Sponsor in exchange for membership interests in our Sponsor in an aggregate amount of $25,000, with respect to the issuance of 6,037,500 of our founder shares to our Sponsor. In addition, certain of our directors (or their affiliates), officers and the third-party investors, including our anchor investor, agreed to make certain at-risk capital contributions up to an aggregate amount of $6,830,000, the proceeds of which were used by our Sponsor to purchase the Private Placement Warrants. Such persons also agreed to make additional capital contributions to our Sponsor upon request.

Upon or after the consummation of our Initial Business Combination and as determined by members of our Sponsor, our directors (or their affiliates), officers and advisors and the third-party investors are entitled to receive distributions of the assets of our Sponsor in accordance with such persons’ then respective economic interests in our Sponsor.

References in this section to the “Company,” “our,” “us” or “we” refer to Northern Revival Acquisition Corporation. The following discussion and analysis of Northern Revival’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes related thereto which are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those set forth under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factor Summary,” and “Risk Factors” elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on November 4, 2020. We were incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (“Initial Business Combination”).

Our sponsor is Northern Revival Sponsor LLC, a Cayman Island limited liability company which changed its name from Noble Rock Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Northern Revival IPO was declared effective on February 1, 2021. On February 4, 2021, we consummated the Northern Revival IPO of 24,150,000 Northern Revival Units, (with respect to the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares included in the Northern Revival Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), which includes 3,150,000 additional Northern Revival Units to cover over-allotments (the “Over-Allotment Northern Revival Units”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $241.5 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $14.4 million, net of reimbursement from the underwriter. Of these offering costs, approximately $9.1 million and approximately $320,000 was for deferred underwriting commissions and deferred legal fees, respectively. In September 2023, the underwriters in the IPO waived such deferred underwriting commissions.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Northern Revival IPO, we consummated the Private Placement of 4,553,334 private placement warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant with our Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $6.8 million.

Upon the closing of the Northern Revival IPO and the Private Placement, $241.5 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the Northern Revival IPO and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee and invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by us, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of an Initial Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

We intend to complete our Initial Business Combination using cash from the remaining proceeds of the Northern Revival IPO and the Private Placement of the Private Placement Warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt. The issuance of additional shares of our stock in a business combination:

        may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors in this offering,;

        may subordinate the rights of holders of our ordinary shares if preference shares are issued with rights senior to those afforded our ordinary shares;

        could cause a change in control if a substantial number of shares of our ordinary shares is issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors;

113

Table of Contents

        may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us by diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of us; and

        may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Northern Revival Ordinary Shares and/or warrants.

Similarly, if we issue debt securities or otherwise incur significant debt to bank or other lenders or owners of a target, it could result in:

        default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after an Initial Business Combination are insufficient to repay our debt obligations;

        acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;

        our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security is payable on demand;

        our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt security contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt security is outstanding;

        our inability to pay dividends on our ordinary shares;

        using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on our ordinary shares if declared, our ability to pay expenses, make capital expenditures and acquisitions, and fund other general corporate purposes;

        limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and in the industry in which we operate;

        increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation;

        limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, and execution of our strategy; and

        other purposes and other disadvantages compared to our competitors who have less debt.

If we are unable to complete an Initial Business Combination by February 4, 2024, or such earlier date as determined by the Northern Revival Board (taking into account the extension as described below, the “Combination Period”), we will (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

Recent Developments

Proposed Business Combination

On March 20, 2023, we entered into the Business Combination Agreement with our Sponsor, Braiin and the Braiin Supporting Shareholders who collectively own 100% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Braiin. Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, a business combination between Northern Revival and Braiin will be effected as a share exchange in which Braiin shareholders exchange 100% of their Braiin Shares for a pro rata portion of Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of Northern Revival with an aggregate value of $572 million. The number of shares to be issued will be based upon a per share value of $10.00. The aggregate

value is subject to adjustment up or down based upon certain indebtedness and cash on hand of Braiin as set forth in its audited financial statements. On October 1, 2023, the parties entered into an Amended and Restated Business Combination revised the structure of the transaction from a direct share exchange to a merger structure and revised the valuation of the transaction.

Simultaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Northern Revival and Braiin entered into separate support agreements with the Braiin Supporting Shareholders and the Sponsor pursuant to which the Braiin Supporting Shareholders and the Sponsor have agreed to vote their Braiin shares and Northern Revival shares, respectively, in favor of the Business Combination and against any competing acquisition proposal, and not to solicit any competing acquisition proposal. In addition, the Sponsor has agreed to surrender 1,500,000 founder shares immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”) and to waive: (i) redemption rights with respect to its founders shares in connection with the Business Combination, and (ii) the right to have any working capital loans extended to Northern Revival converted into warrants.

Forward Purchase Agreement

On March 16, 2023, in connection with the Business Combination Northern Revival, Braiin and Meteora Capital, LLC (“Meteora”) entered into the Forward Purchase Agreement providing for the issue and sale of up to 2,900,000 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares. The Northern Revival Ordinary Shares that may be issued in connection with the Forward Purchase Agreement have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

Pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement, Meteora has agreed to make purchases of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares: (a) in open-market purchases through a broker after the date of Northern Revival’s redemption deadline in connection with the vote of Northern Revival shareholders to approve the Business Combination from holders of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, including those who elect to redeem Northern Revival Ordinary Shares and subsequently revoked their prior elections to redeem (the “Recycled Shares”) and (b) directly from Northern Revival, newly-issued Northern Revival Ordinary Shares (the “Additional Shares” and, together with the Recycled Shares, the “Subject Shares”). The aggregate total Subject Shares will be up to 2,900,000 (but not more than 9.9% of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares outstanding on a post-transaction basis) (the “Maximum Number of Shares”). Meteora has agreed to waive any redemption rights with respect to any Subject Shares in connection with the Business Combination.

The Forward Purchase Agreement provides that no later than the earlier of (a) one business day after the closing of the Business Combination and (b) the date any assets from Northern Revival’s Trust Account are disbursed in connection with the Business Combination, the Combined Company will pay to Meteora, out of funds held in its Trust Account, an amount (the “Prepayment Amount”) equal to (x) the per-share redemption price (the “Initial Price”) multiplied by (y) the number of Recycled Shares on the date of such prepayment less the Prepayment Shortfall. The Prepayment Shortfall is equal to the lesser of (i) ten percent of the product of (x) the Number of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares multiplied by (y) the Initial Price and (ii) $3,000,000.

Meteora may, at its discretion and at any time following the closing of the Business Combination, provide an Optional Early Termination notice (“OET Notice”) and pay to the Combined Company the product of the “Reset Price” and the number of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares listed on the OET Notice. The Reset Price shall initially equal the Initial Price but shall be adjusted on the first scheduled trading date of each two-week period commencing on the first week following the 30th day after the closing of the Business Combination to the lowest of (i) the current Reset Price, (ii) the Initial Price and (iii) the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares of the prior two week period.

The Forward Purchase Agreement matures on the earlier to occur of (a) three years after the closing of the Business Combination, (b) the date specified by Meteora in a written notice delivered at Meteora’s discretion if (i) the VWAP of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares during 10 out of 30 consecutive trading days is at or below $5.00 per Share, or (ii) the Shares are delisted from a national securities exchange. At maturity, Meteora will be entitled to receive maturity consideration in cash or shares. The maturity consideration will equal the product of (1) (a) the Number of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares less (b) the number of Terminated Shares, multiplied by (2) $1.50 in the event of cash or, in the event of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, $2.00; and $2.50, solely in the event of a registration failure.

Departure of certain officers and directors; name change and Class B conversion

On February 9, 2023, in accordance with the provisions of a binding agreement that provides for the withdrawal or significant reduction in investment in the Sponsor by certain existing investors and the resulting transfer of control of the Sponsor: (i) Whitney Bower resigned as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, (ii) Peter Low resigned as Chief Financial Officer and director and (iii) Michael Alter and David Lang resigned as independent directors, (iv) the board appointed Aemish Shah as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Manpreet Singh as Chief Financial Officer and a director, and also appointed Joseph Tonnos, David Tanzer and Asad Zafar to serve as directors, determining each of Messrs. Tonnos, Tanzer and Zafar to be an independent director under the listing rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. We agreed to change our name in connection with these changes. Mr. Tonnos served on the Northern Revival board of directors from February 9, 2023 until his resignation on March 15, 2023. Such resignation was not a result of disagreement with Northern Revival on any matter relating to its operations, policies or practices.

On March 16, 2023, we held our General Meeting for the purposes of considering and voting upon: (i) a special resolution, to amend our charter to change the name of the company from Noble Rock Acquisition Corporation to Northern Revival Acquisition Corporation; and (ii) a special resolution, to amend the charter to change certain provisions which restrict our Class B ordinary shares from converting to Northern Revival Ordinary Shares prior to the closing of the business combination. Both the Name Change Proposal and Conversion Proposal were approved by the shareholders at the General Meeting. The purpose of the Name Change Proposal was to amend the name of the company as agreed in connection with the departures of Messrs. Bower, Low, Alter and Lang. The purpose of the Conversion Proposal was to remove restrictions contained in the charter in order to permit the Class B ordinary shares to convert into Northern Revival Ordinary Shares prior to the closing of the business combination which will enable Northern Revival to meet certain Nasdaq listing requirements. The holders of such shares will continue to be subject to the same restrictions as the Class B ordinary shares before any conversion, including, among others, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of a business combination as described in the prospectus for our Northern Revival IPO.

Extension, redemptions and contributions

On January 27, 2023, we held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders where the shareholders approved a special resolution to amend our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Extension Amendment”) to extend the date by which Northern Revival may either (i) consummate a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, from February 4, 2023 to September 4, 2023 (such later date, the “extended date”) or such earlier date as determined by the board or (ii) cease its operations, except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete an initial business combination, and (iii) redeem all of the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares included as part of the Northern Revival Units sold in Northern Revival’s IPO that was consummated on February 4, 2021 from February 4, 2023 to September 4, 2023 or such earlier date as determined by the board.

In connection with the solicitation of proxies in connection with the Extension Amendment, holders of 21,240,830 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares of our then-outstanding 24,150,000 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares outstanding with redemption rights, elected to redeem their shares at a per share redemption price of approximately $10.17. In connection with the solicitation of proxies in connection with the Conversion Proposal, holders of 428,699 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares of our then-outstanding 8,946,670 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares outstanding with redemption rights, elected to redeem their shares at a per share redemption price of approximately $10.33. On March 28, 2023, Northern Revival elected to permit one shareholder, at the shareholder’s request, to reverse their redemption as to 5,000 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, resulting in a total of 428,699 redemptions in connection with the solicitation of proxies in connection with the Conversion Proposal. On April 5, 2023, the Sponsor elected to convert 6,037,499 Class B ordinary shares into Northern Revival Ordinary Shares. Following such meetings, the redemptions related thereto and the Sponsor’s conversion of Class B ordinary shares into Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, there are a total of 8,517,971 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, including (i) 8,517,970 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares and (ii) 1 Class B ordinary share outstanding. As of September 30, 2023, there was a total of approximately $20.6 million held in the Trust Account.

Table of Contents

As previously disclosed in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the Extension Proposal, the Sponsor indicated that, it will contribute to Northern Revival as a loan (each loan being referred to herein as a “contribution”) the lesser of (i) $100,000 and (ii) an aggregate amount equal to $0.055 multiplied by the number of public shares of Northern Revival that are not redeemed, for each month commencing on February 4, 2023 and on or prior to the fourth day of each subsequent month, if applicable (each such month period an “extension period) until the earlier of (x) the date of the extraordinary general meeting held in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an Initial Business Combination (y) the extended date and (z) the date that the board determines in its sole discretion to no longer seek an Initial Business Combination. Each contribution will be deposited in the Trust Account within three business days of the beginning of the extended period which such contribution is for. The contributions will be repayable by Northern Revival to the Sponsor upon consummation of an Initial Business Combination. Northern Revival’s board of directors will have the sole discretion whether to continue extending for additional extension periods, and if the board determines not to continue extending for additional months, the additional contributions will terminate.

On August 30, 2023, we held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Second Extension Meeting”) where the shareholders approved a special resolution to amend our Northern Revival Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Second Extension Amendment”) to (i) extend the date by which Northern Revival may either (a) consummate a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, from September 4, 2023 to February 4, 2024 or such earlier date as determined by the board or (b) cease its operations, except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete an initial business combination, and (c) redeem all of the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares, included as part of the Northern Revival Units sold in the Northern Revival IPO that was consummated on February 4, 2021 from September 4, 2023 to February 4, 2024 or such earlier date as determined by the Northern Revival Board and (ii) redeem public shares irrespective of whether such redemption would exceed an amount that would cause the company’s net tangible assets to be less than US$5,000,001.

In connection with the solicitation of proxies in connection with the Second Extension Amendment, holders of 570,227 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares of our then-outstanding 8,517,970 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares outstanding, elected to redeem their shares at a per share redemption price of approximately $10.72. Following the meeting and the redemptions related thereto, there are a total of (i) 7,947,743 Northern Revival Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, and (ii) one Class B ordinary share. As of September 12, 2023 there was a total of approximately $20.48 million held in the Trust Account.

As previously disclosed in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the Second Extension Proposal, the Sponsor has indicated that, it will contribute to Northern Revival as a loan (each loan being referred to herein as a “contribution”) an aggregate amount equal to $0.03 multiplied by the number of public shares of the company that are not redeemed in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the extension proposal, for each month, commencing on September 4, 2023 and on or prior to the fourth day of each subsequent month, if applicable (each such month period an “extension period”) until the earlier of (x) the date of the meeting held in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an initial business combination, (y) the extended date, and (z) the date that the board determines in its sole discretion to no longer seek an initial business combination. Each contribution will be deposited in the Trust Account within three business days of the beginning of the extended period which such contribution is for. The sponsor will not make any contribution unless the extension proposal is approved and the extension is completed. The contributions will be repayable by the company to the sponsor upon consummation of an initial business combination.

Results of Operations

Our entire activity since November 4, 2020 (inception) through June 30, 2023 related to our formation, the preparation for the Northern Revival IPO, and since the closing of the Northern Revival IPO, the search for a prospective Initial Business Combination. We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. We will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our Initial Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of gains on investment (net), dividends and interest held in Trust Account. We will incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

Table of Contents

For the year ended December 31, 2022, we had net income of approximately $8.4 million, which consisted of $6.4 million for a change in the fair value of derivative warrant liabilities, approximately $3.5 million of income from investments held in the Trust Account, offset by approximately $1.5 million of general and administrative expenses.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, we had net income of approximately $9.4 million, which consisted of $11.5 million for a change in the fair value of derivative warrant liabilities, approximately $26,000 of income from investments held in the Trust Account, offset by approximately $769,000 of financing costs and approximately $1.3 million of general and administrative expenses.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we had a net income of approximately $27,000, resulting from approximately $2 million of general and administrative expenses, approximately $525,000 of reduction of underwriting fee payable and approximately $66,000 resulting from a decrease in the fair value of the FPA, offset by approximately $1.4 million of income from investments held in the Trust Account and approximately $302,000 resulting from a change in the fair value of derivative warrant liabilities.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had net income of approximately $7.0 million, which consisted of $6.5 million for a change in the fair value of derivative warrant liabilities, approximately $1.4 million of income from investments held in the Trust Account, offset by approximately $904,000 of general and administrative expenses.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of September 30, 2023, we had approximately $3,000 in cash in our operating bank account and working capital of approximately $2.9 million.

Through September 30, 2023, our liquidity needs had been satisfied through a payment of $25,000 from our Sponsor to cover for certain expenses in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares and the loan of $45,000 from our Sponsor pursuant to the Note. Subsequent to the closing of the Northern Revival IPO and Private Placement, the proceeds from the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account will be used to satisfy our liquidity. Including amounts borrowed subsequent to December 31, 2020, we borrowed a total of approximately $195,000 through the Note and we repaid the Note in full on February 5, 2021. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an Initial Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide us Working Capital Loans. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no amounts outstanding or any Working Capital Loans. Management intends to utilize Sponsor support to continue meeting its obligations.

In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern,” we have until February 4, 2024, or such earlier date as determined by our Directors to consummate an Initial Business Combination. It is uncertain that we will be able to meet its obligations within the next 12 months or consummate an Initial Business Combination by this time. If an Initial Business Combination is not consummated by the end of the Combination Period, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of Northern Revival. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should an Initial Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate.

Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On November 11, 2020, the initial shareholders paid an aggregate of $25,000 for certain expenses on our behalf in exchange for issuance of 5,750,000 Founders Shares. On February 1, 2021, we declared a stock dividend with respect to the Class B ordinary shares such that 0.05 Class B ordinary shares were issued for each share of Class B ordinary shares, resulting in an aggregate of 6,037,500 Class B ordinary shares outstanding. The initial shareholders agreed to forfeit up to an aggregate of 787,500 Founder Shares, on a pro rata basis, to the extent that the option to purchase additional Northern Revival Units was not exercised in full by the underwriters, so that the Founder Shares would represent 20% of our issued and outstanding shares after the Northern Revival IPO.

118

Table of Contents

On February 4, 2021, the underwriter fully exercised its over-allotment option; thus, these 787,500 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture. On April 5, 2023, the Sponsor elected to convert 6,037,499 Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares.

The Initial Shareholders agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (A) one year after the completion of the Initial Business Combination or (ii) the date following the completion of the Initial Business Combination on which we complete a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Initial Business Combination, the Founder Shares will be released from the lockup.

Private Placement Warrants

Simultaneously with the closing of the Northern Revival IPO, we consummated the Private Placement of 4,553,334 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant with our Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $6.8 million.

Each whole Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one whole share of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants to our Sponsor was added to the proceeds from the Northern Revival IPO held in the Trust Account. If we do not complete an Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable for cash and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by our Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

Our Sponsor and our officers and directors agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Warrants until 30 days after the completion of the Initial Business Combination.

Related Party Loans

On November 11, 2020, our Sponsor agreed to loan us up to $300,000 to be used for the payment of costs related to the Northern Revival IPO pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). The Note was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due upon the closing of the Northern Revival IPO. As of December 31, 2020, we borrowed $45,000 under the Note. As of February 4, 2021, we had a cumulative borrowing of $195,000. We repaid the Note in full on February 5, 2021.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an Initial Business Combination, our Sponsor, members of our founding team or any of their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If we complete an Initial Business Combination, we will repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that an Initial Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of an Initial Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lenders’ discretion, up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Initial Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans.

Contractual Obligations

Registration Rights

The initial shareholders and holders of the Private Placement Warrants are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The initial shareholders and holders of the Private Placement Warrants are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that we register such securities for sale under the Securities Act. In addition, these holders have “piggy-back” registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed by us. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

We granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the prospectus to purchase up to 3,150,000 additional Northern Revival Units at the Northern Revival IPO price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On February 4, 2021, the underwriter fully exercised its over-allotment option.

The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or approximately $4.8 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Northern Revival IPO. In addition, $0.375 per unit, or approximately $9.1 million in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee would have become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete an Initial Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. In addition, the underwriters paid to us an amount equal to 0.25% of the offering gross proceeds, or $603,750 in the aggregate to reimburse certain expenses in connection with the Northern Revival IPO. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in September 2023, the underwriters agreed to waive the deferred underwriting commissions.

Contingent Fee Arrangement

On August 4, 2022, we entered into an agreement with an independent third party to provide sourcing and advisory services related to completing a successful business combination. As consideration for the services to be rendered, we agreed to pay them a success fee of $2,415,000, payable only upon the completion of a business combination with certain specified targets. Any related expenses or out-of-pocket costs are borne solely by the third party. We do not intend to enter into a business combination with the targets specified in the agreement and, as a result, no fees are anticipated to be due under this agreement.

Deferred Legal Fees

We engaged a legal counsel firm for legal advisory services, and the firm agreed to defer their fees in excess of $250,000 (“Deferred Legal Fees”). The deferred fee will become payable in the event that we complete an Initial Business Combination. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded approximately $1.1 million and $605,000 in deferred legal fees, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

This management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to fair value of financial instruments and accrued expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Investments held in Trust Account

Our portfolio of investments is comprised of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When our investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities. When our investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of money market funds, the investments are recognized at fair value. Trading securities and investments in money market funds are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities is included in income on investments held in the Trust Account in the accompanying statement of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.

Northern Revival Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our Northern Revival Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”).” Northern Revival Ordinary Shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Northern Revival Ordinary Shares (including Northern Revival Ordinary Shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Northern Revival Ordinary Shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. Our Northern Revival Ordinary Shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at December 31, 2022 and 2021, 24,150,000 Northern Revival Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of our balance sheets.

Northern Revival recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. This method would view the end of the reporting period as if it were also the

121

Table of Contents

redemption date for the security. Immediately upon the closing of the Northern Revival IPO, we recognized the remeasurement from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable Northern Revival Ordinary Shares resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.

Derivative Warrant Liabilities

We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of our financial instruments, including issued warrants to purchase ordinary shares, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), Embedded Derivatives (“ASC 815-15”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

The warrants issued in connection with the Northern Revival IPO (the “Public Warrants”) and the Private Placement Warrants are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”). Accordingly, we recognize the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statement of operations. The fair value of the Public Warrants issued in connection with the Northern Revival IPO were initially measured at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Subsequently, the fair value of the Public Warrants has been determined based on the observable listed trading price for such warrants. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was initially and subsequently measured at fair value using a Black-Scholes Merton (BSM) model through September 30, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, Northern Revival determined the difference between the Public Warrant and Private Warrant fair value would be de minimus and therefore measured the Private Warrants by reference to the listed trading price of the Public Warrants.

Forward Purchase Agreement Derivative Liability

On March 16, 2023, Northern Revival entered into a Forward Purchase Agreement. Northern Revival accounts for the Forward Purchase Agreement as a derivative instrument in accordance with the guidance in ASC 815-40. The instrument is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date, with changes in fair value recognized in the statements of operations. The ability of Northern Revival to receive any of the proceeds of the Forward Purchase Agreement is dependent upon the financial metrics of the business combination target, among other factors, rendering the receipt of such proceeds outside the control of Northern Revival. At September 30, 2023, the value of the forward purchase derivative liability was $66,02.

Offering Costs Associated with the Northern Revival IPO

Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the Northern Revival IPO that were directly related to the Northern Revival IPO. Offering costs are allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Northern Revival IPO based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with warrant liabilities are expensed as incurred, presented as non-operating expenses in the statement of operations. Offering costs associated with the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares were charged to the carrying value of the Northern Revival Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption. We classify deferred underwriting commissions as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities (such deferred underwriting commissions have been waived by the underwriters).

Net Income Per Ordinary Share

We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” We have two classes of shares, which are referred to as Northern Revival Ordinary Shares and Class B ordinary shares. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net income per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net income by the weighted average ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period.

The calculation of diluted net income does not consider the effect of the warrants underlying the Northern Revival Units sold in the Northern Revival IPO and the private placement warrants to purchase an aggregate of 11,775,540 shares of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares in the calculation of diluted income per share, because

122

Table of Contents

exercise is contingent upon future events. For the year ended December 31, 2021 the number of weighted average Class B ordinary shares for calculating basic net income per ordinary share was reduced for the effect of an aggregate of 787,500 Class B ordinary shares that were subject to forfeiture if the over-allotment option was not exercised in full or part by the underwriters. Since the contingency was satisfied, we included these shares in the weighted average number as of the beginning of the period to determine the dilutive impact of these shares. Remeasurement associated with the redeemable Northern Revival Ordinary Shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We do not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on our financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K and did not have any commitments or contractual obligations.

JOBS Act

On April 5, 2012, the JOBS Act was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act and are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We elected to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

As an “emerging growth company”, we are not required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis), and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our Northern Revival IPO or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

Government Regulation

Overview

Our business is subject to various laws and regulations in the countries in which we operate. Laws and regulations relating to drone activity and our Autonomous Aerial Robots are rapidly developing. In addition, our telecommunications and technology products, including the ERP platform, are subject to data privacy regulations and laws. We continually assess our compliance status and management of our products and services to ensure our operations are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. These regulations and laws could cover taxation, aviation, privacy, data protection, pricing, content, copyrights, distribution, mobile communications, electronic device certification, electronic waste, energy consumption, environmental regulation, electronic contracts and other communications, competition, consumer protection, web services, the provision of online payment services, information reporting requirements, unencumbered Internet access to our services, the design and operation of websites, the characteristics and quality of products and services, and the commercial operation of our Autonomous Aerial Robots. In addition, jurisdictions may regulate consumer-to-consumer online businesses, including certain aspects of our proposed technology programs.

Environmental

We are subject to various federal, state, local and non-U.S. laws and regulations relating to environmental protection, including the discharge, treatment, storage, disposal and remediation of hazardous substances and wastes. We could also be affected by future laws and regulations relating to climate change, including laws related to greenhouse gas emissions, chemical use, and regulating energy efficiency. These laws and regulations could lead to increased environmental compliance expenditures, increased energy and raw materials costs and new and/or additional investment in designs and technologies. We continually assess our compliance status and management

of environmental matters to ensure our operations are in compliance with all applicable environmental laws and regulations. Investigation, remediation and operation and maintenance costs associated with environmental compliance and management of sites are a normal, recurring part of our operations. While environmental protection regulations have not had a significant adverse effect on our overall operations, it is possible that costs incurred to ensure continued environmental compliance in the future could have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows if additional work requirements or more stringent clean-up standards are imposed by regulators, new areas of soil, air and groundwater contamination are discovered and/or expansion of work scope are prompted as a result of investigations.

Manufacturing

We assemble our Autonomous Aerial Robots at our facilities or, in certain cases, purchase off-the-shelf drones, that we optimize for our customers’ purposes. All parts of our Autonomous Aerial Robots are manufactured by third parties.

Employees and Human Capital

As of September15, 2023, we had 260 employees. Our relationship with our employees is strong, and we recognize the importance of growing our team as we develop and expand our operations. Our human capital objectives include identifying, recruiting, retaining, incentivizing, and integrating both our existing and additional employees to drive our company’s success.

Facilities

Our corporate headquarters are located in Subiaco, Western Australia. We believe that our existing facilities are adequate for our near-term needs but expect to need additional space as we grow. We believe that suitable additional or alternative space would be available as required in the future on commercially reasonable terms.

Legal Proceedings

Although we may be subject to litigation in the ordinary course, we are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings.

BRAIIN’S MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the section entitled “Summary Financial Information of Braiin,” and Braiin’s consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements and involves numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those described in the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus. Actual results could differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. In this section, “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Braiin.

On July 28, 2023, PubCo was incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands to become the holding company for Braiin and its subsidiaries. PubCo has engaged solely in operations and activities incidental to its formation and the Proposed Transactions. Accordingly, the financial information for PubCo and a discussion and analysis of its results of operations and financial condition for the period of its operations would not be meaningful and are not presented. Following the Proposed Transactions, the historical consolidated financial statements of PubCo will include the historical consolidated financial results of Braiin and its consolidated subsidiaries for all periods presented.

Prior to Braiin’s formation in July 2022, the principal activities of Braiin were carried out by Raptor 300, In July 2023, Raptor 300 transferred all of its operations and substantially all of its net assets to Braiin, (collectively, the “Reorganization”). See note 3 to Braiin’s audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus for more information.

Braiin has also entered into Share Sale Agreements with each of PowerTec and Vega, pursuant to which Braiin will acquire all of the outstanding equity interests of each of PowerTec and Vega (such acquisitions, the “PowerTec Acquisition” and the “Vega Acquisition,” respectively). The PowerTec Acquisition and the Vega Acquisition are conditioned upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

Overview

We are a pioneering technology company specializing in cutting-edge solutions across diverse domains. We currently operate through our wholly owned subsidiary, Raptor and, following the consummation of the Business Combination, will also operate through PowerTec and Vega, which will also be our wholly owned subsidiaries. Our expertise spans artificial intelligence and machine learning (“AI/ML”), robotics, internet of things (“IoT”), and mission-critical enterprise software and hardware applications. We believe that we have a robust portfolio of proprietary technology with current applications and developing capabilities in various sectors, including agriculture, agricultural-finance, agricultural-insurance, telecommunications, financial services, digital lending, insurance brokering, and more. We are actively expanding our market reach from business enterprises and governments to end-consumers. Further, we also plan to diversify from our current focus on western developed markets to tap into large opportunities across high-potential emerging markets, more particularly in Southeast Asia.

Braiin’s Business Model

We believe that we operate at the forefront of technology, targeting a range of industries, including agriculture, finance, insurance, and telecommunications among others.

The Business Combination

On March 20, 2023, we entered into the Business Combination Agreement with Northern Revival, and Northern Revival Sponsor LLC (Sponsor). Pursuant to the terms, and subject to the conditions, contained in the Business Combination Agreement, the Parties to the Business Combination Agreement will affect the following transactions:

1.      At the Closing, PubCo shall repurchase all of the Northern Revival’s Private Placement Warrants held by the Sponsor for an amount equal to $2.5 million.

2.      Prior to the Effective Time, all Company Convertible Securities outstanding shall be converted into Company Shares in accordance with the agreements governing such Company Convertible Securities.

3.      Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Sponsor shall surrender 1,500,000 Acquiror Ordinary Shares.

4.      Northern Revival will purchase from the Braiin shareholders, all of the issued and outstanding shares and any other equity interests in or of Braiin in exchange for newly issued PubCo Ordinary Shares, as a result of which:

a.      each issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share of Northern Revival immediately prior to the effective time of the Initial Merger shall be converted automatically into the right of the holder thereof to receive one (1) ordinary share of PubCo, following which the Class A ordinary shares shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled; and

b.      prior to the Effective Time, any remaining Acquiror Class B Ordinary Shares that are issued and outstanding as of such time shall automatically convert in accordance with the terms of the Acquiror Organizational Documents into one (1) Acquiror Class A Ordinary Share

On the first business day following the effective time of the Initial Merger, PubCo will acquire all of the Company Shares in consideration for the issuance of PubCo ordinary shares to the Company shareholders (the “PubCo Ordinary Shares”) on a pro rata basis (the “Share Acquisition”, and together with the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Proposed Transactions”)

The Business Combination is expected to have a significant impact on our future capital structure and operating results. The most significant changes in our future reported financial positions are expected to be an estimated net increase in cash (as compared to our consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2023) of between approximately $1 million net of $87 million in transaction costs for the Business Combination, of which approximately $4 million represents legal fees related to Northern Revival’s initial public offering. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information.”

As a result of the Business Combination, we expect to become a U.S. public company listed on the Nasdaq, which will require us to hire additional personnel and implement procedures and processes to address public company regulatory requirements and customary practices. We expect to incur additional annual expenses as a public company for, among other things, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, director fees and additional internal and external accounting, legal and administrative resources.

Key Factors Affecting Our Performance

Competition

As a general technology company, we face significant competition. The AgTech industry, like other technology-based industries, is characterized by rapid technological advancement and significant competition. These industries dedicate significant resources to developing novel and proprietary agricultural technology products and services. As our products and technology continue to expand, we will be subject to competition in a number of industries, including the AgTech space. We anticipate that we will face intense and increasing competition from many different sources, including both new and established AgTech companies entering into the product types and segments in which we currently operate.

Competitive Strengths

We believe that we have five main competitive strengths that set us apart from the current market:

        Technological Integration:    Our integration of advanced technologies from Raptor, PowerTec and Vega, including our Autonomous Aerial Robots, AI/ML, IoT, and ERP, allows us to deliver end-to-end solutions that cater to diverse industry needs.

        Proven Track Record:    We have a successful history of conducting trials and forming partnerships with industry leaders, demonstrating our capability to execute projects and deliver positive outcomes.

        Intellectual Property:    We hold essential patents and regulatory certifications, providing a barrier to entry for potential competitors and enhancing our credibility as an industry leader.

        Leadership:    Our management team is comprised of experienced professionals with deep expertise in technology, data science, and investment in emerging markets.

        Collaborative Culture:    Our multidisciplinary team fosters a culture of collaboration, creativity, and continuous improvement, allowing us to develop innovative solutions for complex challenges.

Regulatory Landscape

Our business is subject to various laws and regulations in the countries in which we operate. Laws and regulations relating to drone activity and our Autonomous Aerial Robots are rapidly developing. In addition, our telecommunications and technology products, including the ERP platform, are subject to data privacy regulations and laws. We continually assess our compliance status and management of our products and services to ensure our operations are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. These regulations and laws could cover taxation, aviation, privacy, data protection, pricing, content, copyrights, distribution, mobile communications, electronic device certification, electronic waste, energy consumption, environmental regulation, electronic contracts and other communications, competition, consumer protection, web services, the provision of online payment services, information reporting requirements, unencumbered Internet access to our services, the design and operation of websites, the characteristics and quality of products and services, and the commercial operation of our Autonomous Aerial Robots. In addition, jurisdictions may regulate consumer-to-consumer online businesses, including certain aspects of our proposed technology programs.

Environmental

We are subject to various federal, state, local and non-U.S. laws and regulations relating to environmental protection, including the discharge, treatment, storage, disposal and remediation of hazardous substances and wastes. We could also be affected by future laws and regulations relating to climate change, including laws related to greenhouse gas emissions, chemical use, and regulating energy efficiency. These laws and regulations could lead to increased environmental compliance expenditures, increased energy and raw materials costs and new and/or additional investment in designs and technologies. We continually assess our compliance status and management of environmental matters to ensure our operations are in compliance with all applicable environmental laws

and regulations. Investigation, remediation and operation and maintenance costs associated with environmental compliance and management of sites are a normal, recurring part of our operations. While environmental protection regulations have not had a significant adverse effect on our overall operations, it is possible that costs incurred to ensure continued environmental compliance in the future could have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows if additional work requirements or more stringent clean-up standards are imposed by regulators, new areas of soil, air and groundwater contamination are discovered and/or expansion of work scope are prompted as a result of investigations.

Components of Results of Operations

The following briefly describes the components of revenue and expenses as presented in our consolidated statements of operations.

It is noted that on 27 July 2022, Braiin Limited acquired Raptor300 Inc. and its controlled entities. The transaction comprises a group restructure that does not result in any change of economic substance. The results for the year ended 30 June 2023 comprises the consolidated results of Braiin Limited and its controlled entities. The comparative results in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and statement of cash flows for the year ended 30 June 2022 comprise the consolidated results for the period of Raptor300 Inc.

Revenue

We offer a unique drone-as-a-service solution to our customers, which involves a subscription-based model, requiring no upfront capital expenditure (CAPEX) or ongoing operational expenses (OPEX) to our customers. Our commitment to delivering cutting-edge technology has been validated through extensive trials across vast expanses of farmland. These trials have yielded promising results, leading to the signing of five-year contracts worth $19.06 million.

In addition to our existing contracts, we have also entered into Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) amounting to approximately $100 million. The primary impetus for our decision to go public is to swiftly execute and fulfill our current contractual obligations, capitalizing on our status as first movers in this dynamic industry.

Our vision is to lead the way in transforming the landscape of drone services, and we are excited to embark on this journey with the support of our valued stakeholders.

Cost of Sales

Our Cost of Sales will predominantly encompass expenses related to drone components and parts, such as batteries, raw materials, direct labor costs, warranty expenses, and the operational costs associated with our assembly facilities, which includes equipment depreciation and amortization. Anticipating our expansion, we project an absolute increase in our Cost of Goods Sold to accommodate our growth.

Nevertheless, as we continue to scale our business, we foresee a positive shift. Over time, we expect our Cost of Goods Sold to decrease as a percentage of revenue. This decline is a direct outcome of our efforts to optimize operations, enhance efficiency, and leverage economies of scale. Such measures will contribute to a more favorable cost structure as we progress in our mission.

Operating Expenses

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses consist of the costs associated with managing the operation of the Company during the period leading to completion of the Business Combination. We expect administrative expenses to increase as our overall activity levels increase due to the completion of the Business Combination and the growth in operating revenue.

138

Table of Contents

Professional and legal fees

Professional and legal fees expenses consist of the costs associated with the Business Combination Agreement and associated activity.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortizations are a result of the depreciation of drones over a two-year period and the lease associated with a premises leased in Sri Lanka.

Other expenses

Other expenses consist of the costs associated with staffing of Sri Lankan and Australian employees.

Total Finance Costs

Interest

Finance costs consist primarily of accrued interest in relation to the Convertible Notes held by the Company.

Variance Analysis

It is noted that all activity for the year ended June 30, 2023 is primarily due to costs associated with the Business Combination.

139

Table of Contents

Other items that had variances are detailed below:

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses increased by $10,261 from $14,845 during the year ended June 30, 2022 to $25,106 during the year ended June 30, 2023. This increase was primarily due to expenses in the Australian subsidiary Raptor300 Australia that did not occur in the year ended June 30 2022 including computers and software, investor relations, and contractor costs.

Audit Fees

Audit fees increased by $341,563 from Nil during the year ended June 30, 2022 to $341,563 during the year ended June 30, 2023. The quantum of the audit costs are a result of the business combination and the requirements of the SPAC transaction which have all occurred post June 30 2022.

Professional and Legal Fees

Professional and legal fees increased by $227,791 or 338% from $67,355 during the year ended June 30, 2022 to $295,146 during the year ended June 30, 2023. Specifically, items that are included in the year ended June 30, 2023 include the CFO fees for Jay Stephenson and accounting fees in Raptor300 Inc in relation to getting the Company ready for a SPAC merger.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased by $74,534, or 836%, from $8,919 during the year ended June 30, 2022 to $83,453 during the year ended June 30, 2023. This increase was primarily due to the change in the consolidation of Raptor300 into the Braiin accounts and the acquisition of additional drones during the year.

Finance Costs — Interest Expense

Finance costs increased by $7,279, or 1049%, from $694 during the year ended June 30, 2022 to $7,973 during the year ended June 30, 2023. This increase was primarily due to the Company entering into Convertible Loan agreements and interest was accrued during the year at an 18% interest rate.

Other expenses

Other expenses increased by $11,850 from $2,126 during the year ended June 30, 2022 to $13,97 in the year ended June 30, 2023. This increase was due to the investor relations work undertaken in Australia that was not spent in 2022 primarily due to the start of activity in relation to the Australian operations.

Loss on Foreign Currency Exchange

Loss on foreign currency exchange increased by $2,964 from $7,831 during the year ended June 30, 2022 to $10,795 during the year ended June 30, 2023. This increase was primarily due to fluctuations in US currency to Sri Lanka currency and to Australian currency.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have incurred net losses since inception and to date have not generated any revenue from the operations of drones.

To date, we have funded our operations primarily through shareholder loans, and SAFE notes and Convertible Notes.

As of June 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,202,698. We have assessed that there is substantial doubt related to going concern that may cast significant doubt over the our ability to continue as a going concern as we incurred a net loss after tax for the year ended 30 June 2023 of $778,012. At 30 June 2023,

140

Table of Contents

the Group’s has net working capital deficit of $1,335,186 and a net liability position of $1,130,800. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

As of our latest assessment, our management anticipates that, from the Business Combination until we achieve the projected profitability in 2025, we will need an estimated amount of approximately $20.8 million (net of transaction costs). This funding will be instrumental in executing our comprehensive business plan, which encompasses several key components:

        Servicing of Contracts: We plan to facilitate the successful execution of contracts in Sri Lanka by acquiring and deploying advanced drone technology, which will be a cornerstone of our operations.

        Capital Expenditure: Purchase of drone components and parts, such as batteries, raw materials, warranty expenses

        Employment of the Required Labor Force: We intend to assemble a skilled and dedicated workforce, essential for the efficient and effective implementation of our business strategies.

        Hiring of the Required Administration and Finance Personnel: We will also allocate funds towards recruiting and retaining competent professionals in administration and finance, whose expertise will be pivotal in our journey toward profitability.

This capital allocation will enable us to navigate the path towards realizing our strategic objectives.

Our management believes that we will have sufficient funding for our current and long-term liquidity requirements to achieve our business plan.

Until we generate sufficient operating cash flow to cover our operating expenses, working capital needs and planned capital expenditures, or if circumstances evolve differently than anticipated, we expect to utilize a combination of equity and debt financing to fund any future capital needs. If we raise funds by issuing equity securities, there may be dilution to our shareholders. Any equity securities issued may also provide for rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of holders of ordinary shares. If we raise funds by issuing debt securities, these debt securities may have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to those of preferred and common shareholders. The terms of debt securities or borrowings may impose significant restrictions on our operations. The capital markets have in the past, and may in the future, experience periods of upheaval that could impact the availability and cost of equity and debt financing.

Our principal uses of cash in recent periods have been funding activities and other personnel costs as well as costs associated with the Business Combination. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our revenue growth rate, the timing and the amount of cash received from our customers, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the timing and extent of spending to support our development efforts. In the future, we may enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, products and technologies. We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event that we require additional financing we may not be able to raise such financing on acceptable terms or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital or generate cash flows necessary to continue our research and development and invest in continued innovation, we may not be able to compete successfully, which would harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition. If adequate funds are not available, we may need to reconsider our expansion plans or limit our research and development activities, which could have a material adverse impact on our business prospects and results of operations.

Net cash used in operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities increased by $206,830 or 221%, from $93,661 for the year ended June 30, 2022 to $298,306 for the year ended June 30, 2023. This increase was primarily due to the increases in activity related to operations in Sri Lanka and Australia and costs related to the Business Combination. Specifically, costs to US based advisors and the Australian based director, Jay Stephenson. We expect to see an increase in our costs related to our headcount leading up to the commencement of our commercial operations and expect that cash used in operating activities will increase significantly before the business begins to generate cash inflows.

Net cash used in from investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $250,247 from $61,777 for the year ended June 30, 2022 to $312,024 for the year ended June 30, 2023. This increase was primarily due to the increases in the purchase of Drones for Sri Lanka and Australia and software development costs.

Net cash generated from financing activities

Net cash generated from financing activities increased by $523,185 or 70%, from $752,188 for the year ended June 30, 2022 to $1,275,373 for the year ended June 30, 2023. This increase was primarily due to issuance of SAFE Notes, convertible notes and loan facility.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Braiin has signed five-year contracts worth $19.06 million with 9 large agricultural companies in Sri Lanka. We have successfully completed the mapping of all the designated areas and have recently commenced operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

The application of accounting policies requires the use of judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if it affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Certain Differences Between IFRS and GAAP

IFRS differs from GAAP in certain respects, including differences related to financial liabilities such as convertible notes and SAFE notes, intangible assets, income tax and earnings per share. Management has not assessed the materiality of differences between IFRS and GAAP. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Credit risk

Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the Group.

The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivables under financial instruments entered into by the Group.

Credit risk exposures

The maximum exposure to credit risk is that to its alliance partners and that is limited to the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements.

Credit risk related to balances with banks and other financial institutions is managed by the Group in accordance with approved Board policy. Such policy requires that surplus funds are only invested with reputable financial institutions, wherever possible.

Generally, trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators of this include the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan, no active enforcement activity and a failure to make contractual payments for a period greater than 1 year.

Interest Risk

The Group is not exposed to material interest rate risk. The interest rate related to convertible notes is fixed per the

Liquidity Risk

The Group adopts prudent liquidity risk management by maintaining sufficient cash and obtaining continuous funding through capital raising as and when necessary to enable the Group to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable.

The table below analyses the Group’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting period date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months approximate their carrying balances, as the impact of discounting is not significant.

Fair values

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities as presented above can be compared to their carrying values as presented in the statement of financial position. Fair values are those amounts at which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2023 To and 2022, we identified several material weaknesses in the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting. Please see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Braiin’s Business.

Following the Proposed Transactions — We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If our remediation of these material weaknesses is not effective, or if we experience additional material weaknesses or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls in the future, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately, prevent fraud or file our periodic reports as a public company in a timely manner. Specifically, we have identified two material weaknesses being:

1.      the lack of a formally implemented system of internal control over financial reporting and limited or no associated written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures, and

2.      the lack of sufficient resources and key accounting personnel with sufficient knowledge and experience in reporting and compliance with the SEC and PCAOB

JOBS Act

We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the JOBS Act. We intend to rely on certain reduced reporting and other requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. As an emerging growth company, we are not required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which would otherwise be required beginning with our second annual report on Form 20-F, and (ii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis).

Board of Directors

Composition

The PubCo Board will initially consist of five directors immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination. Of these initial five directors, three will be independent. The directors are [ ] and his/her term will expire at the annual general meeting of shareholders to be held in 2024.

Director Independence

Initially, three of the PubCo directors will be “independent directors” as defined in the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules. Pursuant to applicable rules, an independent director is one who has no direct or indirect relationship with PubCo that could, in the view of the board of directors, be reasonably expected to interfere with a director’s independent judgment.

Board Committees

The PubCo Board will have an audit committee and a compensation committee, described below. As a foreign private issuer, under the listing requirements and rules of Nasdaq, we are not required to have independent directors on our board of directors, except that our audit committee is required to consist fully of independent directors, subject to certain phase-in schedules.

Audit Committee

The audit committee will consist of            and            .             will be the chairperson of the audit committee. Braiin has determined that            satisfies the criteria of an audit committee financial expert as set forth under the applicable rules of the SEC. Each of            and            satisfies the requirements for an “independent director” within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing rules and the criteria for independence set forth in Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act.

The audit committee will oversee PubCo’s accounting and financial reporting processes. The audit committee will be responsible for, among other things:

        overseeing the relationship with PubCo’s independent auditors, including:

        appointing, retaining and determining the compensation of PubCo’s independent auditors;

        approving auditing and pre-approving non-auditing services permitted to be performed by the independent auditors;

        discussing with the independent auditors the overall scope and plans for their audits and other financial reviews;

        reviewing a least annually the qualifications, performance and independence of the independent auditors;

        reviewing reports from the independent auditors regarding all critical accounting policies and practices to be used by PubCo and all other material written communications between the independent auditors and management; and

        reviewing and resolving any disagreements between management and the independent auditors regarding financial controls or financial reporting;

        overseeing the internal audit function, including conducting an annual appraisal of the internal audit function, reviewing and discussing with management the appointment of the head of internal audit, at least quarterly meetings between the chairperson of the audit committee and the head of internal audit, reviewing any significant issues raised in reports to management by internal audit and ensuring that there are no unjustified restrictions or limitations on the internal audit function and that it has sufficient resources;

146

Table of Contents

        reviewing and recommending all related party transactions to the PubCo Board for approval, and reviewing and approving all changes to PubCo’s related party transactions policy;

        reviewing and discussing with management the annual audited financial statements and the design, implementation, adequacy and effectiveness of PubCo’s internal controls;

        overseeing risks and exposure associated with financial matters; and

        establishing and overseeing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received from PubCo employees regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or audit matters and the confidential, anonymous submission by PubCo employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting, auditing and internal control matters.

Effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination, PubCo’s board of directors intends to establish a compensation committee. It is expected that the compensation committee will consist of            and            with            serving as the chairperson of the compensation committee. The compensation committee will have a written charter and will oversee PubCo’s compensation of its executive officers and directors. The compensation committee will assist the board in determining its responsibilities in relation to remuneration, including making recommendations to the board on PubCo’s policy on executive compensation, determining the individual remuneration and benefits package of each of the executive directors, and recommending and monitoring the remuneration of senior management below board level, as the board so directs.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

In addition to the indemnification provided for in the existing Northern Revival Memorandum and Articles of Association, Northern Revival entered into indemnification agreements with each of its officers and directors to indemnify such individuals, to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to certain limitations, against all judgments, liabilities, fines, penalties, amounts paid in settlement and expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such individuals in an action or proceeding to which any such individual was made a party by reason of being an officer or director of Northern Revival or an organization of which Northern Revival is a shareholder or creditor if such individual serves such organization at Northern Revival’s request. Such indemnification obligation will survive the Business Combination. Additionally, prior to the completion of the Business Combination, Braiin intends to enter into similar indemnification agreements with each of its directors and certain officers.

Arrangements for Election of Directors

In connection with the Business Combination, and pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, Northern Revival have agreed to cause the size of PubCo’s board of directors to be fixed at five members, who will initially be [•]. [•] will be appointed to serve as Chairman of the board of directors of PubCo.

Corporate Governance Practices

After the closing of the Business Combination, PubCo will be a “foreign private issuer,” as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act. As a foreign private issuer we will be permitted to comply with corporate governance practices of the law of Australia (collectively, “Home Country Practice”) instead of certain Nasdaq corporate governance rules, provided that we disclose which requirements we will not follow and the equivalent Home Country Practice that we will comply with instead.

We intend to rely on this “foreign private issuer exemption” in lieu of certain of the rules in the Nasdaq Rule 5600 Series and Rule 5250(d), provided that we nevertheless comply with Nasdaq’s Notification of Noncompliance requirement (Rule 5625), and that we have an audit committee that satisfies Rule 5605(c)(3), consisting of committee members that meet the independence requirements of Rule 5605(c)(2)(A)(ii). We intend to comply with the Nasdaq corporate governance rules applicable to foreign private issuers, which means that we are permitted to follow certain corporate governance rules that conform to Australian requirements in lieu of many of the Nasdaq corporate governance rules. Accordingly, our shareholders will not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq. We may utilize these exemptions for as long as we continue to qualify as a foreign private issuer.

147

Table of Contents

Because PubCo will be a foreign private issuer, its directors and senior management are not subject to short-swing profit and insider trading reporting obligations under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. They will, however, be subject to the obligations to report changes in share ownership under Section 13 of the Exchange Act and related SEC rules.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships among any of Braiin’s executive officers or directors.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

In connection with the Closing, PubCo will adopt a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code of Conduct”), applicable to all of its directors, officers and employees. The Code of Conduct will set out PubCo’s fundamental values and standards of behavior that are expected from PubCo’s directors, officers and employees with respect to all aspects of PubCo’s business. The objective of the Code of Conduct will be to provide guidelines for maintaining PubCo’s integrity, reputation and honesty with a goal of honoring others’ trust in PubCo at all times. The Code of Conduct will set out guidance with respect to conflicts of interest, protection and proper use of corporate assets and opportunities, confidentiality of corporate information, fair dealing with third parties, compliance with laws and reporting of any illegal or unethical behavior.

PubCo’s audit committee is responsible for reviewing and evaluating the Code of Conduct periodically and will recommend any necessary or appropriate changes thereto to the board of directors for consideration. The audit committee will also assist PubCo’s Board with the monitoring of compliance with the Code of Conduct, and will be responsible for considering any waivers of the Code of Conduct (other than waivers applicable to PubCo’s directors or executive officers, which shall be subject to review by the board of directors as a whole).

A copy of the Code of Conduct will be available on PubCo’s website.

DESCRIPTION OF PUBCO SECURITIES

PubCo is a Cayman Islands exempted company and its affairs are governed by its memorandum and articles of association, as amended and restated from time to time, and the Companies Act.

PubCo Ordinary Shares

The following includes a summary of the terms of PubCo Shares, based on its Memorandum and Articles of Association and Cayman Islands law. Immediately prior to the consummation of the Initial Merger, PubCo shall amend its memorandum and articles of association, which amendment is referred to herein as the “Memorandum and Articles of Association.” According to the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the PubCo is authorized to issue a maximum of 50,000 ordinary shares, par value $1.00 per share, (“PubCo ordinary shares”).

General.    Immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, PubCo is authorized to issue a maximum of 50,000 shares, par value $1.00 per share. All of PubCo’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares are fully paid and non-assessable. Certificates representing the ordinary shares are issued in registered form. PubCo may not issue share to bearer. PubCo’s shareholders who are non-residents of the Cayman Islands may freely hold and transfer their ordinary shares.

Dividends.    The holders of PubCo’s ordinary shares are entitled to such dividends as may be declared by its Board of Directors subject to its Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Companies Act. No dividend may be declared and paid unless PubCo’s directors determine that, immediately after the payment, the value of PubCo’s assets will exceed its liabilities and PubCo will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due. Holders of PubCo ordinary shares will be entitled to the same amount of dividends, if declared.

Voting Rights.    In respect of all matters subject to a shareholders’ vote, each ordinary share is entitled to one vote, and all ordinary shares vote together as one class. Voting at any shareholder meeting is by show of hands unless a poll is demanded by the chairman.

A quorum required for a meeting of shareholders consists of one or more shareholders holding not less than one-half of the votes attaching to the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote on resolutions of shareholders to be considered at the meeting present in person or by proxy or, if a corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorized representative. As a Cayman Islands exempted company, PubCo is not obliged by the Companies Act to call shareholders’ annual general meetings. PubCo’s Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that PubCo may (but are not obliged to) in each year hold a general meeting as its annual general meeting in which case PubCo will specify the meeting as such in the notices calling it, and the annual general meeting will be held at such time and place as may be determined by its directors. Each general meeting, other than an annual general meeting, shall be an extraordinary general meeting. Shareholders’ annual general meetings and any other general meetings of PubCo’s shareholders may be convened by any director or, upon a requisition of shareholders holding at the date of deposit of the requisition not less than 30 percent of the votes attaching to the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote at general meetings in respect of the matter for which the meeting is requested, in which case the directors are obliged to convene such meeting and to put the resolutions so requisitioned to a vote at such meeting; however, PubCo Memorandum and Articles of Association do not provide its shareholders with any right to put any proposals before any annual general meetings or any extraordinary general meetings not called by such shareholders. Advance notice of at least ten (10) days is required for the convening of PubCo’s annual general meeting and other general meetings unless such notice is waived in accordance with its articles of association.

An ordinary resolution to be passed at a meeting by the shareholders requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes attaching to the shares cast by those shareholders entitled to vote who are present in person or by proxy at a general meeting.

Transfer of Ordinary Shares.    Subject to the restrictions in PubCo’s Memorandum and Articles of Association as set out below, any of PubCo’s shareholders may transfer all or any of his or her ordinary shares by a written instrument of transfer signed by the transferor and containing the name and address of the transferee.

149

Table of Contents

Liquidation.    On a return of capital on winding up or otherwise (other than on conversion, redemption or purchase of ordinary shares), if the assets available for distribution amongst PubCo’s shareholders shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the share capital at the commencement of the winding up, the surplus shall be distributed amongst PubCo’s shareholders in proportion to the number of the shares held by them at the commencement of the winding up, subject to a deduction from those shares in respect of which there are monies due, of all monies payable to PubCo for unpaid calls or otherwise. If PubCo’s assets available for distribution are insufficient to repay all of the paid-up capital, the assets will be distributed so that the losses are borne by PubCo’s shareholders in proportion to the number of the shares held by them. Any distribution of assets or capital to a holder of ordinary share will be the same in any liquidation event.

Redemption, Repurchase and Surrender of Ordinary Shares.    PubCo may issue shares on terms that such shares are subject to redemption, at PubCo’s option or at the option of the holders thereof, on such terms and in such manner as may be determined, before the issue of such shares, by PubCo’s Board of Directors. PubCo may also repurchase any of its shares provided that PubCo may not purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire its own shares without the consent of the Member whose Shares are to be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired unless the PubCo is permitted or required by the Companies Act or any other provision in the Memorandum or Articles to purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire the Shares without such consent.

Variations of Rights of Shares.    If at any time PubCo’s share capital is divided into different classes or series of shares, the rights attached to any class or series of shares (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class or series), whether or not PubCo is being wound-up, may be varied by a resolution passed at a meeting by the holders of more than fifty percent of the issued shares of that class that have voted (and are entitled to vote thereon) in relation to any such resolution, unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of such class. The rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class issued shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further shares ranking pari passu with such existing class of shares.

Inspection of Books and Records.    Holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares have no general right under Cayman Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of PubCo’s list of shareholders or its corporate records. However, PubCo will provide its shareholders with annual audited financial statements. See “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”

Issuance of Additional Shares.    PubCo’s Memorandum and Articles of Association authorize its Board of Directors to issue additional ordinary shares from time to time as its Board of Directors shall determine, to the extent of available authorized but unissued shares.

PubCo’s Memorandum and Articles of Association also authorize its Board of Directors to establish from time to time one or more series of preferred shares and to determine, with respect to any series of preferred shares, the terms and rights of that series, including:

        the designation of the series;

        the number of shares of the series;

        the dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights; and

        the rights and terms of redemption and liquidation preferences.

PubCo’s Board of Directors may issue preferred shares without action by its shareholders to the extent authorized but unissued. Issuance of these shares may dilute the voting power of holders of ordinary shares.

Anti-Takeover Provisions.    Some provisions of PubCo’s Memorandum and Articles of Association may discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of PubCo or management that shareholders may consider favorable, including (i) provisions that authorize PubCo’s Board of Directors to issue preferred shares in one or more series and to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preferred shares without any further vote or action by its shareholders; and (ii) provisions providing that directors may not be removed by the shareholders except for cause.

PubCo Warrants

Set forth below is also a description of the PubCo Warrants that will be issued and outstanding upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

The following summary is not complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the provisions of the Proposed PubCo Charter attached as Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus.

The PubCo Warrants will have the same terms as the Northern Revival Warrants. Each PubCo Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one PubCo Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share. The PubCo Warrants will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the competition of the Business Combination and 12 months from the date of the IPO, and will expire five years after the consummation of the Business Combination.

PubCo may redeem the outstanding PubCo Warrants (excluding the private warrants that are part of the Private Units), in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant:

        at any time while the PubCo Warrants are exercisable,

        upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption,

        if, and only if, the last sales price of PubCo Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $18 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending three trading days before PubCo sends the notice of redemption, and

        if, and only if, a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the PubCo ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the PubCo Warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those PubCo ordinary shares is available throughout the 30-day redemption period, except if the warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and PubCo issues a notice of redemption, each warrant holder can exercise his, her or its PubCo Warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the PubCo Ordinary Shares may fall below the $18 trigger price as well as the $11.50 warrant exercise price per full share after the redemption notice is issued and not limit PubCo’s ability to complete the redemption.

If PubCo calls the PubCo Warrants for redemption as described above, PubCo’s management will have the option to require all warrant holders that wish to exercise PubCo Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.” In such event, each warrant holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the whole PubCo Warrant for that number of PubCo Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares underlying the PubCo Warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the PubCo Warrants and the “fair market value” (as defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the warrant holders. Whether PubCo will exercise its option to require all warrant holders to exercise their PubCo Warrants on a “cashless basis” will depend on a variety of factors including the price of the PubCo Ordinary Shares at the time the PubCo Warrants are called for redemption, PubCo’s cash needs at such time and concerns regarding dilutive share issuances.

COMPARISON OF SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS

The following is a summary comparison of the material differences between the rights of Northern Revival shareholders and the rights that former Northern Revival shareholders will have as shareholders of PubCo under the Business Combination Agreement and the Proposed PubCo Charter effective following the Closing. These differences in shareholder rights result from the differences between the respective governing documents of Northern Revival and PubCo. The discussion in this section does not include a description of rights or obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws or Nasdaq rules. Such rights or obligations generally apply equally to Northern Revival Ordinary Shares and PubCo Ordinary Shares.

This section does not include a complete description of all differences among such rights, nor does it include a complete description of such rights. Furthermore, the identification of some of the differences of these rights as material is not intended to indicate that other differences that may be equally important do not exist. Northern Revival shareholders are urged to carefully read the relevant provisions of the Cayman Islands Companies Law, the Amended and Restated Memorandum of Northern Revival and the Proposed PubCo Charter that will be in effect upon consummation of the Business Combination.

More details about the rights of PubCo shareholders can be found in the section titled “Description of PubCo Securities.” This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Cayman Islands Companies Law and the governing documents of Northern Revival and PubCo, which we urge you to read carefully and in their entirety.

Northern Revival and PubCo urge you to carefully read this entire proxy statement/prospectus, the relevant provisions of the Companies Law and the other documents to which we refer in this proxy statement/prospectus for a more complete understanding of the differences between the rights of a Northern Revival shareholder and the rights of a PubCo shareholder.

Northern Revival has filed its governing documents with the SEC and will send copies of these documents to you, without charge, upon your request. See the section titled “Where You Can Find More Information”. The form of the Proposed PubCo Charter which will be adopted at the Closing is included as Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus.

Mergers and Asset Sales

 

Mergers require a special resolution under Cayman Islands law and the Existing Articles, being the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the issued and outstanding Northern Revival Shares entitled to vote, who attend, in person or by proxy, and vote thereupon at a general meeting.

Parties holding certain security interests in the constituent companies must also consent.

All mergers (other than parent/subsidiary mergers) require shareholder approval — there is no exception for smaller mergers.

Shareholder/Stockholder Lawsuits for violation of directors’ duties

 

Northern Revival’s Cayman Islands counsel is not aware of any reported class action having been brought in a Cayman Islands court. Derivative actions have been brought in the Cayman Islands courts, and the Cayman Islands courts have confirmed the availability for such actions. In most cases, the company will be the proper plaintiff in any claim based on a breach of duty owed to it, and a claim against (for example) Northern Revival’s officers or directors usually may not be brought by a shareholder. However, based on English authorities, which would in all likelihood be of persuasive authority and be applied by a court in the Cayman Islands, exceptions to the foregoing principle apply in circumstances in which:

   a company is acting, or proposing to act, illegally or beyond the scope of its authority;

   the act complained of, although not beyond the scope of the authority, could be effected if duly authorized by more than the number of votes which have actually been obtained; or

   those who control the company are perpetrating a “fraud on the minority.”

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

Northern Revival’s Related Person Transactions

Founder Shares

On November 11, 2020, the initial shareholders paid an aggregate of $25,000 for certain expenses on our behalf in exchange for issuance of 5,750,000 Founders Shares. On February 1, 2021, we declared a stock dividend with respect to the Class B ordinary shares such that 0.05 Class B ordinary shares were issued for each share of Class B ordinary shares, resulting in an aggregate of 6,037,500 Class B ordinary shares outstanding. The initial shareholders agreed to forfeit up to an aggregate of 787,500 Founder Shares, on a pro rata basis, to the extent that the option to purchase additional Northern Revival Units was not exercised in full by the underwriters, so that the Founder Shares would represent 20% of our issued and outstanding shares after the Northern Revival IPO. On February 4, 2021, the underwriter fully exercised its over-allotment option; thus, these 787,500 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture. On April 5, 2023, the Sponsor elected to convert 6,037,499 Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares.

The Initial Shareholders agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (A) one year after the completion of the Initial Business Combination or (ii) the date following the completion of the Initial Business Combination on which we complete a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Initial Business Combination, the Founder Shares will be released from the lockup.

Private Placement Warrants

Simultaneously with the closing of the Northern Revival IPO, we consummated the Private Placement of 4,553,334 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant with our Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $6.8 million.

Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one whole share of Northern Revival Ordinary Shares at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants to our Sponsor was added to the proceeds from the Northern Revival IPO held in the Trust Account. If we do not complete an Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable for cash and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by our Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

Our Sponsor and our officers and directors agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Warrants until 30 days after the completion of the Initial Business Combination.

Related Party Loans

On November 11, 2020, our Sponsor agreed to loan us up to $300,000 to be used for the payment of costs related to the Northern Revival IPO pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). The Note was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due upon the closing of the Northern Revival IPO. As of December 31, 2020, we borrowed $45,000 under the Note. As of February 4, 2021, we had a cumulative borrowing of $195,000. We repaid the Note in full on February 5, 2021.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an Initial Business Combination, our Sponsor, members of our founding team or any of their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If we complete an Initial Business Combination, we will repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that an Initial Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of an Initial Business Combination, without interest, or, at the

161

Table of Contents

lenders’ discretion, up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Initial Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had no outstanding Working Capital Loans.

Advances from Related Party

The Sponsor, directors and officers, or any of their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on Northern Revival’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Northern Revival’s audit committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by us to the Sponsor, directors, officers or us or any of our or their r affiliates. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Sponsor had advanced Northern Revival $732,041 for working capital purposes, of which $0 was repaid during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the outstanding balance under the advances amounted to $791,322 and $59,281, respectively.

Promissory Note — related party

In connection with the shareholders’ approval of the Extension Proposal, the Sponsor contributed to Northern Revival as a loan (each loan being referred to herein as a “contribution”) seven deposits of $100,000 and two deposits of $57,307 each into the Trust Account by September 30, 2023. Northern Revival issued unsecured promissory notes to the Sponsor for $819,236 as extension loans as of September 30, 2023 since the funds were received in our operating account as of such date. The promissory notes bear no interest and all unpaid principal under the promissory notes will be due and payable in full up upon the consummation of the Business Combination. As of September 30, 2023, Northern Revival had $819,236 outstanding balance under these notes.

Administrative Support Agreement

Commencing on the date that our securities were first listed on Nasdaq through the earlier of consummation of the Initial Business Combination and the liquidation, we agreed to pay our Sponsor a total of $30,000 per month for office space, administrative, financial and support services. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we incurred expenses under this agreement of $360,000 and $330,000, respectively, included as general and administrative expenses on the statements of operations. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there was no amounts payable for these services.

In addition, our Sponsor, directors and officers, 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 Initial Business Combinations. Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by us to our Sponsor, directors, officers or any of their affiliates. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we incurred approximately $74,000 of reimbursable expenses to related party, included as general and administrative expenses on the accompanying statement of operations. As of December 31, 2022, approximately $65,000 of reimbursable expenses was paid to related party and approximately $59,000 is payable and presented as due to related party on the balance sheets. No expenses were incurred as of December 31, 2021.

Northern Revival’s Related Person Transactions Policy and Procedure

Our Code of Ethics requires us to avoid, wherever possible, all related party transactions that could result in actual or potential conflicts of interests, except under guidelines approved by the board of directors (or the audit committee). Related-party transactions are defined as transactions in which (1) the aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $120,000 in any calendar year, (2) we or any of our subsidiaries is a participant, and (3) any (a) executive officer, director or nominee for election as a director, (b) greater than 5% beneficial owner of our shares of ordinary shares, or (c) immediate family member, of the persons referred to in clauses (a) and (b), has or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than solely as a result of being a director or a less than 10% beneficial owner of another entity). A conflict of interest situation can arise when a person takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest may also arise if a person, or a member of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position.

Table of Contents

Our audit committee, pursuant to its written charter, will be responsible for reviewing and approving related-party transactions to the extent we enter into such transactions. The audit committee will consider all relevant factors when determining whether to approve a related party transaction, including whether the related party transaction is on terms no less favorable to us than terms generally available from an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction. No director may participate in the approval of any transaction in which he is a related party, but that director is required to provide the audit committee with all material information concerning the transaction. We also require each of our directors and executive officers to complete a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire that elicits information about related party transactions.

These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer of interest, we have agreed not to consummate an initial business combination with an entity that is affiliated with any of our sponsor, officers or directors unless we have obtained an opinion from an independent investment banking firm, or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions, that the business combination is fair to our unaffiliated shareholders from a financial point of view. We will also need to obtain approval of a majority of our disinterested independent directors.

Braiin’s Related Person Transactions

Natraj Balasubramanian, the CEO of Braiin, and Darren McVean, the CIO of Braiin, are shareholders of Vega, which is being acquired by Braiin. In addition, PowerTec is a party to various real property lease and sub-lease agreements with related parties.

Related Person Transactions Policy Following the Business Combination

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, it is anticipated that the PubCo Board will adopt a written Related Person Transactions Policy that sets forth Braiin’s policies and procedures regarding the identification, review, consideration and oversight of “related person transactions.” For purposes of Braiin’s policy only, a “related person transaction” is a transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) in which Braiin or any of its subsidiaries are participants involving an amount that exceeds $            , in which any “related person” has a material interest.

Transactions involving compensation for services provided to Braiin as an employee, consultant or director will not be considered related person transactions under this policy. A related person is any executive officer, director, nominee to become a director or a holder of more than 5% of any class of Braiin’s voting securities, including any of their immediate family members and affiliates, including entities owned or controlled by such persons.

Under the policy, the related person in question or, in the case of transactions with a holder of more than 5% of any class of Braiin’s voting securities, an officer with knowledge of a proposed transaction, must present information regarding the proposed related person transaction to Braiin’s audit committee (or, where review by Braiin’s audit committee would be inappropriate, to another independent body of the Braiin Board) for review. To identify related person transactions in advance, Braiin will rely on information supplied by Braiin’s executive officers, directors and certain significant unitholders. In considering related person transactions, Braiin’s audit committee will take into account the relevant available facts and circumstances, which may include, but are not limited to:

        the potential conflicts with the interests of Braiin;

        the risks, costs, and benefits to Braiin;

        the impact on a director’s independence in the event the related person is a director, immediate family member of a director or an entity with which a director is affiliated;

        the terms of the transaction;

        the availability of other sources for comparable services or products; and

        the terms available to or from, as the case may be, unrelated third parties.

Braiin’s audit committee will approve only those transactions that it determines are fair to us and in Braiin’s best interests. All of the transactions described above were entered into prior to the adoption of such policy.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Shareholders and Board of Directors
Braiin Limited
Subiaco WA 6008

Opinion on Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Braiin Limited and Controlled Entities (the ‘Company’) as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity, and statements of cash flows for each of the two years then ended, and the related notes and schedules (collectively referred to as the ‘consolidated financial statements’). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years then ended, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Emphasis of matter — Restructure accounting

We draw attention to Note 3 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, which describes the restructure accounting and comparative information of the Company. The Company’s acquisition of Raptor300, Inc. does not comprise a business combination within the scope of IFRS 3 Business Combinations, accordingly the consolidated financial statements of the Company have been presented as a continuation of the consolidated group, previously known as Raptor300, Inc. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 1.15 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, has a net capital deficiency, and has stated that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1.15. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Basis for opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (‘PCAOB’) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

BRAIIN LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 30 June 2023 and 30 June 2022

GENERAL INFORMATION

Braiin Limited (Braiin or the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) is a for-profit company limited by shares, domiciled and incorporated in Australia. Braiin’s expertise spans artificial intelligence and machine learning (“AI/ML”), robotics, internet of things (“IoT”), and mission-critical enterprise software and hardware applications. The functional currency of the Group is AUD and the presentation currency is in the USD currency.

The Company was incorporated on 4 July 2022.

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

These financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards and Interpretations, and comply with other requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

The Company is an unlisted public company, incorporated and operating in Australia. The financial report is presented in United States dollars.

The Company is a for profit entity for financial reporting purposes under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and Interpretations.

Historical cost convention

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, investment properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments.

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 1.3.

Foreign currency translation

The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The legal parent entity’s functional and presentation currency is Australian Dollars.

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the profit or loss except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in other comprehensive income to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in other comprehensive income, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the profit or loss.

The accounting policies detailed below have been consistently applied to all of the years presented unless otherwise stated.

F-9

BRAIIN LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 30 June 2023 and 30 June 2022

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION (cont.)

Foreign operations

The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Group’s presentation currency are translated as follows:

        assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;

        income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and

        retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.

Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the Group’s foreign currency translation reserve in the consolidated statement of financial position. These differences are recognised in the profit or loss in the period in which the operation is disposed.

1.1. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED STANDARDS

1.1.1. Changes in accounting policies on initial application of Accounting Standards

Standards and interpretations applicable to 30 June 2023

In the year ended 30 June 2023, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the IFRS that are relevant to the Group’s operations and effective for the current financial reporting period.

It has been determined by the Directors that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies.

Standards and interpretations on issue not yet effective and adopted

The Directors have also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the year ended 30 June 2023. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued but not yet effective and adopted on its business and, therefore, no further disclosures have been made in this regard.

1.2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

The financial report was authorised by the Board of Directors for issue on 22 December 2023.

The financial report complies with Australian equivalents to the International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

1.3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

The application of accounting policies requires the use of judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 30 June 2023 and 30 June 2022

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION (cont.)

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if it affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.

Fair value measurement hierarchy

The Group is required to classify all assets and liabilities, measured at fair value. Considerable judgement is required to determine what is significant to fair value and therefore which category the asset or liability is placed in can be subjective.

Estimation of useful lives of assets

The Group determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down.

Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets

The Group assesses impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. This involves fair value less costs of disposal or value-in-use calculations, which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions.

Income tax

The Group is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on the Group’s current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

Recovery of deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the Group considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Lease term

The lease term is a significant component in the measurement of both the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Judgement is exercised in determining whether there is reasonable certainty that an option to extend the lease or purchase the underlying asset will be exercised, or an option to terminate the lease will not be exercised, when ascertaining the periods to be included in the lease term. In determining the lease term, all facts and circumstances that create an economical incentive to exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option, are considered at the lease commencement date. Factors considered may include the importance of the asset to the Group’s operations; comparison of terms and conditions to prevailing market rates; incurrence of significant penalties; existence of significant leasehold improvements; and the costs and disruption to replace the asset. The Group reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option, if there is a significant event or significant change in circumstances.

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION (cont.)

Incremental borrowing rate

Where the interest rate implicit in a lease cannot be readily determined, an incremental borrowing rate is estimated to discount future lease payments to measure the present value of the lease liability at the lease commencement date. Such a rate is based on what the Group estimates it would have to pay a third party to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset, with similar terms, security and economic environment.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged.

1.4. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

As at reporting date, the assets and liabilities of all controlled entities have been incorporated into the consolidated financial statements as well as their results for the interim period. Where controlled entities have entered (left) the Consolidated Group during the year, their operating results have been included (excluded) from the date control was obtained (ceased).

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of the parent, Braiin Limited and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities the parent controls. The parent controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has right to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. A list of the subsidiaries is provided in Note 15.

The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the Group from the date on which control is obtained by the Group. The consolidation of a subsidiary is discontinued from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed and adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity of the accounting policies adopted by the group.

Equity interests in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Group are presented as non-controlling interests. The Group initially recognises non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests in subsidiaries and are entitled to a proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets on liquidation at either fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, non-controlling interests are attributed their share of profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income. Non-controlling interests are shown separately within the equity section of the statement of financial position and statement of comprehensive income.

1.5. INCOME TAX

The charge for current income tax expense is based on the result for the year adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or are substantively enacted by the balance date or reporting date.

Deferred tax is accounted for in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

F-12

Table of Contents

BRAIIN LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 30 June 2023 and 30 June 2022

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION (cont.)

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited to profit or loss except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the Group will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

1.6. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

1.6.1. Financial Instruments — assets

a. Classification

The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

        those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through OCI or through profit or loss), and

        those to be measured at amortised cost.

The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or OCI. For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).

The Group reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.

b. Recognition and derecognition

Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the requirements of ownership.

c. Measurement

At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVTPL are expensed in profit or loss.

Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.

BRAIIN LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 30 June 2023 and 30 June 2022

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION (cont.)

i. Equity Instruments

        The Group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Group’s management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in profit or loss as other income when the Group’s right to receive payments is established.

        Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVTPL are recognised in other gains/(losses) in the statement of profit or loss as applicable. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value.

d. Impairment

The Group assesses on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.

1.6.2 Financial Instruments — Liabilities

a. Classification

The Group classifies its financial liabilities in the following measurement categories:

        those to be measured subsequently at FVTPL, and

        those to be measured at amortised cost.

The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial liabilities and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

For financial liabilities measured at FVTPL, gains and losses, including any interest expenses will be recorded in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognised in profit or loss.

For financial liabilities measured at amortised cost, the effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the amortised cost of a financial liability.

b. Recognition and derecognition

Regular way purchases of financial liabilities are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the Group commits to purchase the financial liability. Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liabilities derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.

F-14

BRAIIN LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 30 June 2023 and 30 June 2022

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION (cont.)

c. Measurement

At initial recognition, the Group measures financial liabilities at its fair value plus, in the case of financial liabilities not at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial liabilities. Transaction costs of financial liabilities carried at FVTPL are expensed in profit or loss.

1.7. IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS

The Group assesses at each balance date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use, and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset’s value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash-generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at revalued amount (in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease).

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets.

1.7.1. Financial assets carried at cost

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred on an unquoted equity instrument that is not carried at fair value (because its fair value cannot be reliably measured), or on a derivative asset that is linked to and must be settled by delivery of such an unquoted equity instrument, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset.

1.8. PROVISIONS

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.

1.9. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.

1.10. REVENUE RECOGNITION

Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION (cont.)

1.11. RIGHT OF USE ASSETS

Leases are recognised as a right-of-use-asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group.

Right of use Asset

The Group recognises a right of use asset at the commencement date of the lease. The right of use asset is initially measured at cost. The cost of right of use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle, remove or restore the leased asset, less any lease incentives received

Right-of-use-assets are measured at cost comprising the following:

        the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;

        any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received;

        any initial direct costs; and

        restoration costs.

Subsequent to initial measurement, the right of use asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful life. Right of use assets are subject to impairment and are adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.

1.12. LEASE LIABILITY

At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating a lease, if the assessment of lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expense in the period on which the event or condition that triggers the payments occurs. The present value of lease payments is discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if the rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate.

The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made.

The amount of lease liability is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. When the lease liability is remeasured, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right of use asset, or is recognised in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right of use asset has been reduced to zero.

The Group has elected not to recognise right of use assets and lease liabilities for short term leases that have a lease term of 12 months of less and do not contain a purchase option, and leases of low value assets. The Group recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION (cont.)

1.13. PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation.

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and an appropriate proportion of production overheads.

Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment.

Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and are recognised net within “other income” in profit or loss.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the next cost of each item of plant and equipment over their expected useful life as follows:

        Drones            2 years

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by Directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the assets employment and subsequent disposal.

1.14. ISSUED CAPITAL

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a new business are not included in the cost of acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.

1.15. GOING CONCERN

The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. Historical cost is generally based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

We have assessed that there is substantial doubt related to going concern that may cast significant doubt over the our ability to continue as a going concern as we incurred a net loss after tax for the year ended 30 June 2023 of $778,012. At 30 June 2023, the Group’s has net working capital deficit of $1,335,186 and a net liability position of $1,130,800. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Directors believe this to be appropriate for the following reason:

The Group is in the process of completing a transaction to merge with a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) which is an entity listed on NASDAQ in the USA. If the transaction to merge the Group with the SPAC does not proceed, the Group will be required to raise capital through alternate sources.

BRAIIN LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 30 June 2023 and 30 June 2022

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION (cont.)

At the date of this report and having considered the above factors, substantial doubt exists, however the Directors are confident that the Group will be able to continue operations for a period of twelve months from the issuance of this financial report. These financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of the recorded assets and liabilities amounts that might be necessary should the Group not continue as going concern.

Should the listing on Nasdaq and corresponding capital raise not be achieved, there is substantial doubt as to whether the Group will be able to continue as a going concern and realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business at the amounts stated in the financial report.

1.16 INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair value at the date of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life intangible assets are not amortised and are subsequently measured at cost less any impairment. Finite life intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost less amortisation and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised in profit or loss arising from the derecognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the intangible asset. The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. Changes in the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation method or period.

On 27 July 2022, Braiin Limited completed the acquisition of 100% of the share capital in Raptor300 Inc, a company domiciled in Delaware USA and its controlled subsidiaries (‘Raptor300’).

Under IFRS 3 Business Combinations, where a new entity is formed to issue equity interest to affect a business combination, one of the combining entities that existed before the business combination shall be identified as the acquirer. Accordingly, as Braiin Limited effectively issued equity instruments to acquire Raptor300 it cannot

be identified as the acquirer. Further, as Braiin Limited is not a business the transaction does not comprise a business combination within the scope of IFRS 3 Business Combinations. The transaction comprises a group restructure that does not result in any change of economic substance. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements of Braiin Limited going forward will be a continuation of the consolidated group prior to the restructure:

        The equity structure in the consolidated financial statements (the number and type of equity instruments issued) at the date of acquisition reflects the equity structure of Braiin Limited, including the equity instruments issued by Braiin Limited to effect the acquisition;

        The results for the year ended 30 June 2023 comprises the consolidated results of Braiin Limited and its controlled entities; and

        The comparative statement of financial position as at 30 June 2023 comprises the consolidated position of Raptor300 Inc, the comparative results in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and statement of cash flows for the year ended 30 June 2022 comprise the consolidated results for the period of Raptor300 Inc.

5. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

5.1. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance.

5.2.3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES

Credit risk

Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the Group.

The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivables under financial instruments entered into by the Group.

Credit risk exposures

The maximum exposure to credit risk is that to its alliance partners and that is limited to the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements.

Credit risk related to balances with banks and other financial institutions is managed by the Group in accordance with approved Board policy. Such policy requires that surplus funds are only invested with reputable financial institutions, wherever possible.

Generally, trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators of this include the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan, no active enforcement activity and a failure to make contractual payments for a period greater than 1 year.

5. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (cont.)

Interest risk

The Group is not exposed to material interest rate risk. The interest rate related to convertible notes is fixed per the agreements.

Liquidity risk

The Group adopts prudent liquidity risk management by maintaining sufficient cash and obtaining continuous funding through capital raising as and when necessary to enable the Group to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable.

The table below analyses the Group’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting period date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months approximate their carrying balances, as the impact of discounting is not significant.

11.1 Safe Notes

The Group has issued Simple Agreements for Future Equity (“SAFEs”) to various investors, through its subsidiary Raptor300, Inc. in a previous financial year as part of its fundraising activities. A SAFE is a financial instrument that represents the right to receive equity in the Company upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, such as a future equity financing or a liquidity event.

As of 30 June 2023, the Group has recognized the SAFE debt as a liability in accordance with IFRS. The liability is measured at fair value initially and is subsequently measured at amortised cost. Per Note 11.4 below the SAFE Notes contain an embedded derivative instrument that is recognised at fair value through profit or loss. Changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative of the SAFE debt are recognized in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Upon the occurrence of a triggering event specified in the SAFE agreements, the liability is reclassified to equity and recorded as additional paid-in capital.

The Group assesses the fair value of the SAFE debt at the reporting date using an external valuer who uses appropriate valuation methods, which include determining the fair value using the Black-Scholes valuation method, market-based information, and other relevant factors.

The main terms of the SAFEs are detailed below:

        Discount rate of 30%

        If there is an Equity Financing before the termination of the SAFE, on the initial closing of such Equity Financing, the SAFE will automatically convert into the number of shares of SAFE Preferred Stock equal to the Purchase Amount divided by the Discount Price

        The Group will use the funds for working capital purposes and to acquire new drones.

        The investors in the SAFE are non-related parties to the Group.

NORTHERN REVIVAL ACQUISITION CORPORATION
(FORMERLY KNOWN AS NOBLE ROCK ACQUISITION CORPORATION)
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Northern Revival Acquisition Corporation (the “Company,” or “NRAC”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on November 4, 2020 with the name “Noble Rock Acquisition Corporation.” The Company changed its name on March 16, 2023 to Northern Revival Acquisition Corporation. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses that the Company has not yet identified (“Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had not yet commenced operations. All activity through September 30, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) described below, and since the Initial Public Offering, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income on investments held in trust from the proceeds of its Initial Public Offering.

The Company’s sponsor is Northern Revival Sponsor LLC, a Cayman Island limited liability company which changed its name from Noble Rock Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on February 1, 2021. On February 4, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 24,150,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), which included 3,150,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments (the “Over-Allotment Units”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $241.5 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $14.4 million, net of reimbursement from the underwriter. Of these offering costs, approximately $9.1 million and approximately $320,000 was for deferred underwriting commissions and deferred legal fees, respectively (Note 6).

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 4,553,334 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”), at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant with the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $6.8 million (Note 4).

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $241.5 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee and invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of its Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The Company’s initial Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes, if permitted, and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting fees and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time the Company signs a definitive agreement in connection with the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

NORTHERN REVIVAL ACQUISITION CORPORATION
(FORMERLY KNOWN AS NOBLE ROCK ACQUISITION CORPORATION)
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (cont.)

The Company will provide its holders of the Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially at $10.00 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). The per-share amount to be distributed to Public Shareholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 6). These Public Shares are recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” (“ASC 480). In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association adopted by the Company upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering (the “Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, a shareholder approval of the transactions is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the holders of the Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) prior to the Initial Public Offering (the “Initial Shareholders”) agreed to vote their Founder Shares and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination. In addition, the Initial Shareholders agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination. In addition, the Company agreed not to enter into a definitive agreement regarding an initial Business Combination without the prior consent of the Sponsor.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Class A ordinary shares sold in the Initial Public Offering, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Company’s Sponsor, executive officers and directors agreed not to propose an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide for the redemption of its Public Shares in connection with a Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination, unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Class A ordinary shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

Shareholder Meeting, Extension, Redemptions and Trust Deposits

On January 27, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders (the “Meeting”) to amend its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Extension Amendment”) to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate an initial Business Combination from February 4, 2023 to September 4, 2023 or such earlier date as determined by the board. At the Meeting, the Company’s shareholders

approved a special resolution for the Extension Proposal, (as described above). The Extension Proposal is described in detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC and dated January 6, 2023 and was approved at the Meeting. In connection with its solicitation of proxies in connection with the Extension Proposal, the Company was required to permit its public shareholders to redeem its ordinary shares. Of the 24,150,000 Class A ordinary shares outstanding with redemption rights, the holders of 21,240,830 Class A ordinary shares elected to redeem their shares at a per share redemption price of approximately $10.17. As a result, approximately $216.1 million was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders.

On March 16, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “General Meeting”) to vote on a special resolution to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum of Association to change the name to the Company from Noble Rock Acquisition Corporation to Northern Revival Acquisition Corporation and to amend the charter to change certain provisions which restrict the Company’s Class B ordinary shares from converting to Class A ordinary shares prior to the closing of the business combination. Both proposals were approved (the “Conversion Proposal”). The submission of the Conversion Proposal entitled holders of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares to redeem their shares for their pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account. In connection with the General Meeting, of the 2,909,170 remaining Class A ordinary shares outstanding with redemption rights, the holders of 428,699 Class A ordinary shares elected to redeem their shares at a per share redemption price of approximately $10.33 on March 28, 2023. The amount was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders and the 428,699 shares were cancelled in April 2023. On April 5, 2023, the Sponsor elected to convert 6,037,499 Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares. Following such meetings, the redemptions related thereto and the Sponsor’s conversion of Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares, there are a total of 8,517,971 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, including (i) 8,517,970 Class A ordinary shares and (ii) 1 Class B ordinary share outstanding.

On August 31, 2023, the Company held an annual general meeting of shareholders. At the meeting, the Company’s shareholders vote on and approved the following proposals: (1) the extension proposal — as a special resolution, to amend the company’s charter pursuant to an amendment to the charter in the form set forth in Annex A of the proxy statement, to extend the date by which the company may either (i) consummate an initial business combination, from September 4, 2023 to February 4, 2024 or such earlier date as determined by the board or (ii) cease its operations, except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete an initial business combination, and (iii) redeem all of the Class A ordinary shares, included as part of the units sold in the company’s Initial Public Offering that was consummated on February 4, 2021 from September 4, 2023 to February 4, 2024 or such earlier date as determined by the board; (2) the net tangible assets (“NTA”) requirement amendment proposal — as a special resolution, to amend the charter pursuant to an amendment to the charter in the form set forth in Annex B of the proxy statement, to remove the net tangible asset requirement from the charter in order to expand the methods that the company may employ so as not to become subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC; (3) the directors proposal — as an ordinary resolution, to reelect two (2) Class I directors to serve until the annual general meeting in 2026 and until their respective successors have been duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation, removal or death; and (4) the adjournment proposal — as an ordinary resolution, to approve the adjournment of the general 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 the extension proposal, the NTA requirement amendment proposal, and the directors proposal.

In connection with the approval of the Extension Amendment at the Extraordinary General Meeting, holders of 570,227 of the Company’s ordinary shares exercised their right to redeem those shares for cash at an approximate price of $10.72 per share, for an aggregate of approximately $6.1 million on September 13, 2023.

In connection with the shareholders’ approval of the Extension Proposal, the Sponsor has indicated that, if the Extension Proposal was approved, the Sponsor will contribute to the Company as a loan (each loan being referred to herein as a “contribution”) the lesser of (i) $100,000 and (ii) an aggregate amount equal to $0.055 multiplied by the number of Class A ordinary shares of the Company that are not redeemed in connection with the shareholder

vote to approve the Extension Proposal, for each month commencing on February 4, 2023 and on or prior to the fourth day of each subsequent month, if applicable (each such month period an “extension period) until the earlier of (x) the date of the extraordinary general meeting held in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an initial business combination (y) the extended date and (z) the date that the board determines in its sole discretion to no longer seek an initial Business Combination. Each contribution will be deposited in the Trust Account within three business days of the beginning of the extended period which such contribution is for. The contributions will be repayable by the Company to the Sponsor upon consummation of an initial Business Combination. The Company’s board of directors will have the sole discretion whether to continue extending for additional extension periods, and if the board determines not to continue extending for additional months, the additional contributions will terminate. If this occurs, the Company will wind up the Company’s affairs and redeem 100% of the outstanding Public Shares in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Company’s charter.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by February 4, 2024, or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s Directors, (taking into account the extension, the “Combination Period”), the Company will (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In connection with the redemption of 100% of the Company’s outstanding Public Shares for a portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, each holder will receive a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay the Company’s taxes payable (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses).

The Initial Shareholders agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Initial Shareholders should acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.00 per share initially held in the Trust Account. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (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. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by

endeavoring to have vendors, service providers (except the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Trust Deposits

In connection with the shareholders’ approval of the Extension Proposal, the Sponsor contributed to the Company as a loan (each loan being referred to herein as a “contribution”) seventh deposits of $100,000 each and one deposit of $57,307 into the Trust Account through September 30, 2023, totaling $757,307 extending the business combination date to February 4, 2024.

Proposed Business Combination

On March 20, 2023, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with its Sponsor, Braiin Limited, an Australian public company limited by shares (“Braiin”), and certain Braiin shareholders (the “Braiin Supporting Shareholders”) who collectively own 100% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Braiin (the “Braiin Shares”). Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, a business combination between NRAC and Braiin (the “Business Combination”) will be effected as a share exchange in which Braiin shareholders exchange 100% of their Braiin Shares for a pro rata portion of Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of NRAC (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”) with an aggregate value of $190 million (the “Share Exchange”). The number of shares to be issued will be based upon a per share value of $10.00. The aggregate value is subject to adjustment up or down based upon certain indebtedness and cash on hand of Braiin as set forth in its audited financial statements. Prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, Braiin will acquire PowerTec Holdings Ltd., an Australian distributor that supplies connectivity solutions to individuals and businesses around the world. (“PowerTec”). Following the Share Exchange, Braiin will continue as a subsidiary of the Company, and the Company will change its name to “Braiin Holdings.” Reference to NRAC after giving effect to the Business Combination, as “New Braiin.”

Simultaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, NRAC and Braiin entered into separate support agreements with the Braiin Supporting Shareholders and the Sponsor pursuant to which the Braiin Supporting Shareholders and the Sponsor have agreed to vote their Braiin shares and NRAC shares, respectively, in favor of the Business Combination and against any competing acquisition proposal, and not to solicit any competing acquisition proposal. In addition, the Sponsor has agreed to surrender 1,500,000 NRAC founder shares immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”) and to waive: (i) redemption rights with respect to its NRAC shares in connection with the Business Combination, and (ii) the right to have any working capital loans extended to NRAC converted into warrants.

On October 1, 2023, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) by and among NRAC, the Sponsor, Braiin, Braiin Holdings Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“PubCo”) and wholly owned subsidiary of NRAC, and Braiin Supporting Shareholders. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination will be effected in two steps: (i) subject to the approval and adoption of the Amended and Restated Business Combination Agreement by the shareholders of NRAC, NRAC will merge with and into PubCo and wholly owned subsidiary of NRAC with PubCo remaining as the surviving publicly traded entity (the ”Initial Business Combination”); and (ii) a share exchange in which Braiin shareholders exchange 100% of their Braiin Shares for a pro rata portion of Ordinary Shares, par value $1.00 per share, of PubCo (the “PubCo Ordinary Shares”) with an aggregate value of $572 million (the “Share Exchange”). The number of shares to be issued will be based upon a per share value of $10.00. The aggregate value is subject to adjustment up or down based upon certain indebtedness and cash on hand of Braiin as set forth in its audited financial statements. Prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, it is anticipated that Braiin will acquire PowerTec and Vega Global Technologies Pty Ltd., an Australian agricultural technology company (“Vega”). Following the Share Exchange, Braiin will continue as a subsidiary of PubCo. Reference to PubCo after giving effect to the Business Combination, as “New Braiin.”

Forward Purchase Agreements

In connection with the Business Combination, on March 16, 2023, the Company and Braiin entered into an OTC Equity Prepaid Forward Transaction agreement (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”) with certain funds managed by Meteora Capital, LLC, an investor in the Sponsor (the “Meteora Funds”).

The Forward Purchase Agreement was entered into on March 16, 2023, prior to the signing and announcement of the Business Combination Agreement. Pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement, Meteora has agreed to make purchases of Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company: (a) in open-market purchases through a broker after the date of the Company’s redemption deadline in connection with the vote of the Company shareholders to approve the Business Combination from holders of Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company, including those who elect to redeem Class A Ordinary Shares and subsequently revoked their prior elections to redeem (the “Recycled Shares”) and (b) directly from the Company, newly-issued Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company (the “Additional Shares” and, together with the Recycled Shares, the “Subject Shares”). The aggregate total Subject Shares will be up to 2,900,000 (but not more than 9.9% of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding on a post-transaction basis) (the “Maximum Number of Shares”). Meteora has agreed to waive any redemption rights with respect to any Subject Shares in connection with the Business Combination.

Underwriting Fees Waivers

On August 7, 2023, Stifel, Nicolaus & Company (“Stifel”), an underwriter of the Initial Public Offering, agreed to waive its entitlement to the deferred underwriting commissions of $4,980,938 owed or payable to Stifel pursuant to the underwriting agreement for the Initial Public Offering (the “Underwriting Agreement”). As a result, the Company recognized $288,496 of other income attributable to the derecognition of deferred underwriting fees allocated to offering costs and $4,692,442 was recorded to retained earnings in relation to the waiver of the deferred underwriting discount in the accompanying financial statements (see Note 6).

On September 27, 2023, William Blair & Company (“Blair”), an underwriter of the Initial Public Offering, agreed to waive its entitlement to the deferred underwriting commissions of $2,037,656 owed or payable to Blair pursuant to the underwriting agreement for the Initial Public Offering (the “Underwriting Agreement”). As a result, the Company recognized $118,021 of other income attributable to the derecognition of deferred underwriting fees allocated to offering costs and $1,919,635 was recorded to retained earnings in relation to the waiver of the deferred underwriting discount in the accompanying financial statements (see Note 6).

On September 29, 2023, Oppenheimer & Co., Inc. (“Oppenheimer”), an underwriter of the Initial Public Offering, agreed to waive its entitlement to the deferred underwriting commissions of $2,037,656 owed or payable to Oppenheimer pursuant to the underwriting agreement for the Initial Public Offering (the “Underwriting Agreement”). As a result, the Company recognized $118,021 of other income attributable to the derecognition of deferred underwriting fees allocated to offering costs and $1,919,635 was recorded to retained earnings in relation to the waiver of the deferred underwriting discount in the accompanying financial statements (see Note 6).

Liquidity and going concern

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $3,000 in its operating bank account and working capital deficit of approximately $2.9 million.

The Company’s liquidity needs to date have been satisfied through a payment of $25,000 from the Sponsor to cover for certain expenses in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5), the loan of $195,000 from the Sponsor pursuant to the Note (as defined in Note 5), and the proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. The Company repaid the Note in full on February 5, 2021. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the

Company Working Capital Loans (as defined in Note 5). As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no amounts outstanding or any Working Capital Loans. Management intends to utilize Sponsor support to continue meeting its obligations.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern,” the Company has until February 4, 2024, or such earlier date as determined by its Directors to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to meet its obligations within the next 12 months or consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by the end of the Combination Period, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after.

Risks and uncertainties

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the conflicts in Ukraine and Israel and their respective surrounding regions on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that these risks and uncertainties could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or completing the business combination, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these condensed financial statements. The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared in U.S. dollars and in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) considered for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements in the Annual Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC on May 1, 2023.

Emerging growth company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under

the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s condensed financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of estimates

The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the condensed financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no cash equivalents.

Cash held in Trust Account

The funds in the trust account, since the Company’s Initial Public Offering, was held only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. government treasury obligations and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. However, to mitigate the risk of us being deemed to have been operating as an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act ), the Company’s has instructed Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee with respect to the trust account, to liquidate the U.S. government treasury obligations or money market funds held in the trust account and thereafter to hold all funds in the trust account in cash in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank until the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination, another initial business combination or our liquidation. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of money market funds, the investments are recognized at fair value. Trading securities and investments in money market funds are presented on the condensed balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities is included in income on investments held in the Trust Account in the accompanying condensed statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information. At September 30, 2023, all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in cash. At December 31, 2022, all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds which are invested primarily in U.S. Treasury securities.

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage limit of $250,000. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements,” equals or approximates the carrying amounts represented in the condensed balance sheets.

Fair value measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value.

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers consist of:

        Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

        Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

        Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Derivative warrant liabilities

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued warrants to purchase ordinary shares, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), Embedded Derivatives (“ASC 815-15”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative warrant liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

The warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering (the “Public Warrants”) and the Private Placement Warrants are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”). Accordingly, the Company recognizes the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The fair value of the Public Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering were initially measured at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company determined the difference between the Public Warrant and Private Warrant fair value would be de minimus and therefore measured the Private Warrants by reference to the listed trading price of the Public Warrants (See Note 10). As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of the Public Warrants has been determined based on the observable listed trading price for such warrants.

Forward Purchase Agreement Derivative Liability

On March 16, 2023, the Company entered into a Forward Purchase Agreement (see Note 1). The Company accounts for the Forward Purchase Agreement as a derivative instrument in accordance with the guidance in ASC 815-40. The instrument is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date, with changes in fair value recognized in the statements of operations. The ability of the Company to receive any of the proceeds of the Forward Purchase Agreement is dependent upon the financial metrics of the business combination target, among other factors, rendering the receipt of such proceeds outside the control of the Company. At September 30, 2023, the value of the forward purchase derivative liability was $66,026.

Offering costs associated with the Initial Public Offering

Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the Initial Public Offering that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs are allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with derivative warrant liabilities were expensed as incurred and presented as non-operating expenses in the condensed statement of operations. Offering costs associated with the Class A ordinary shares were charged against the carrying value of the Class A ordinary shares. The Company classifies deferred underwriting commissions as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 1,910,244 and 24,150,000 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s condensed balance sheets, respectively.

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the remeasurement from initial book value to redemption amount value. The changes in the carrying value of redeemable Class A ordinary shares resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.

Income taxes

ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the Government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman federal income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s condensed financial statements. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Net income (loss) per ordinary share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net income (loss) per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period.

The calculation of diluted net income (loss) does not consider the effect of the warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering and the private placement warrants to purchase an aggregate of 12,603,334 shares of Class A ordinary shares in the calculation of diluted income per share, because their exercise is contingent upon future events. Remeasurement associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13 — Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). This update requires financial assets measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Since June 2016, the FASB issued clarifying updates to the new standard including changing the effective date for smaller reporting companies. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. The ASU also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for scope exception, and it simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. For smaller reporting entities, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s balance sheet, statement of operations or statement of cash flows.

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

The Company’s management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed financial statements.

NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

On February 4, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 24,150,000 Units, which includes 3,150,000 Over-Allotment Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $241.5 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $14.4 million, net of reimbursement from the underwriter. Of these offering costs, approximately $9.1 million and approximately $320,000 was for deferred underwriting commissions and deferred legal fees, respectively.

Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one redeemable warrant. Each whole Public Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7).

NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 4,553,334 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant with the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $6.8 million. On February 4, 2021, the day of issuance, the fair value of the Private Placement warrants was approximately $6.7 million compared to the gross proceeds received of approximately $6.8 million, therefore, an excess of approximately $85,000 cash was received over the fair value of the Private Placement warrants. The excess in cash received over the fair value of the Private Placement warrants is recorded as additional paid in capital on the statement of changes in shareholders’ deficit at March 31, 2021.

Each whole Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one whole share of Class A ordinary shares at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable for cash and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Warrants until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On November 11, 2020, the Initial Shareholders paid an aggregate of $25,000 for certain expenses on behalf of the Company in exchange for issuance of 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”). On February 1, 2021, the Company declared a stock dividend with respect to the Class B ordinary shares such that 0.05 Class B ordinary shares were issued for every one Class B ordinary share, resulting in an aggregate of 6,037,500 Class B ordinary shares outstanding. The initial shareholders agreed to forfeit up to an aggregate of 787,500 Founder Shares, on a pro rata basis, to the extent that the option to purchase additional units was not exercised in full by the underwriters, so that the Founder Shares would represent 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. On February 4, 2021, the underwriter fully exercised its over-allotment option; thus, these 787,500 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (cont.)

The Initial Shareholders agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (A) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (ii) the date following the completion of the initial Business Combination on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, the Founder Shares will be released from the lockup.

On April 5, 2023, shareholders holding all of the issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares of the Company elected to convert their Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares of the Company on a one-for-one basis to meet listing requirements (see Note 9).

Related Party Loans

On November 11, 2020, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 to be used for the payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). The Note was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Through February 4, 2021, the Company borrowed a total of $195,000 and repaid the Note in full on February 5, 2021.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, members of the Company’s founding team or any of their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lenders’ discretion, up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no outstanding Working Capital Loans.

Advances from Related Party

The Sponsor, directors and officers, or any of their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on the Company’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable Business Combinations. The Company’s audit committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by us to the Sponsor, directors, officers or the Company’s or any of their affiliates. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Sponsor had advanced the Company $732,041 for working capital purposes, of which $0 was repaid during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the outstanding balance under the advances amounted to $791,322 and $59,281, respectively.

Promissory Note — related party

In connection with the shareholders’ approval of the Extension Proposal, the Sponsor contributed to the Company as a loan (each loan being referred to herein as a “contribution”) seven deposits of $100,000 each and one deposit of $57,307 into the Trust Account by September 30, 2023. The Company issued unsecured promissory notes to the Sponsor for $819,236 as extension loans as of September 30, 2023 since the funds were received in the

The aggregate total Subject Shares will be up to 2,900,000 (but not more

than 9.9% of NRAC’s Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding on a post-transaction basis) (the “Maximum Number of Shares”). Meteora has agreed to waive any redemption rights with respect to any Subject Shares in connection with the Business Combination.

The Company filed a current report on Form 8-K on March 21, 2023 with the full Business Combination Agreement and supporting agreements.

The Forward Purchase Agreement provides that no later than the earlier of (a) one business day after the closing of the Business Combination and (b) the date any assets from NRAC’s trust account are disbursed in connection with the Business Combination, the Combined Company will pay to Meteora, out of funds held in its Trust Account, an amount (the “Prepayment Amount”) equal to (x) the per-share redemption price (the “Initial Price”) multiplied by (y) the number of Recycled Shares on the date of such prepayment less the Prepayment Shortfall. The Prepayment Shortfall is equal to the lesser of (i) ten percent of the product of (x) the Number of NRAC Class A Ordinary Shares multiplied by (y) the Initial Price and (ii) $3,000,000.

Meteora may, at its discretion and at any time following the closing of the Business Combination, provide an Optional Early Termination notice (“OET Notice”) and pay to the Combined Company the product of the “Reset Price” and the number of NRAC’s Class A Ordinary Shares listed on the OET Notice. The Reset Price shall initially equal the Initial Price but shall be adjusted on the first scheduled trading date of each two-week period commencing on the first week following the 30th day after the closing of the Business Combination to the lowest of (i) the current Reset Price, (ii) the Initial Price and (iii) the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of NRAC’s Class A Ordinary Shares of the prior two-week period.

The Forward Purchase Agreement matures on the earlier to occur of (a) three years after the closing of the Business Combination, (b) the date specified by Meteora in a written notice delivered at Meteora’s discretion if (i) the VWAP of NRAC’s Class A Ordinary Shares during 10 out of 30 consecutive trading days is at or below $5.00 per Share, or (ii) the Shares are delisted from a national securities exchange. At maturity, Meteora will be entitled to receive maturity consideration in cash or shares. The maturity consideration will equal the product of (1) (a) the Number of NRAC Class A Ordinary Shares less (b) the number of Terminated Shares, multiplied by (2) $1.50 in the event of cash or, in the event of NRAC Class A Ordinary Shares, $2.00; and $2.50, solely in the event of a registration failure.

The Forward Purchase Agreement has been structured, and all activity in connection with such agreement has been undertaken, to comply with the requirements of all tender offer regulations applicable to the Business Combination, including Rule 14e-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The Forward Purchase Agreement may be terminated by any of the parties thereto if the Business Combination Agreement is terminated pursuant to its terms prior to the closing of the Business Combination.

NRAC has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless Meteora, its affiliates, assignees and other parties described therein (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against all losses, claims, damages and liabilities under the Forward Purchase Agreement (excluding liabilities relating to the manner in which Meteora sells any shares it owns) and reimburse the Indemnified Parties for their reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such liabilities, subject to certain exceptions described therein, and has agreed to contribute to any amounts required to be paid by any Indemnified Parties if such indemnification is unavailable or insufficient to hold such party harmless.

Simultaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, NRAC and Braiin entered into a support agreement with the Sponsor (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”) pursuant to which the Sponsor has agreed to vote its NRAC ordinary shares and its Private Placement Warrants in favor of the Business Combination and against any competing acquisition proposal, and not to solicit any competing acquisition proposal. In addition, the

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES (cont.)

Sponsor has agreed to surrender 1,500,000 NRAC Class B Ordinary Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time and to waive: (i) redemption rights with respect to its NRAC shares in connection with the Business Combination, and (ii) the right to have any working capital loans extended to NRAC converted into warrants.

Company Shareholder Lock-Up Agreements

The consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned upon, among other things, (i) the absence of any governmental or court order, determination or injunction enjoining or prohibiting the Business Combination and related transactions, (ii) effectiveness of the Registration Statement and completion of the Shareholder Meeting, including any associated redemptions by NRAC shareholders, (iii) NRAC having at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) after all redemptions, (iv) approval of the Business Combination and related transactions at the Shareholder Meeting, (v) the Share Consideration being approved for listing on Nasdaq, and (vi) all necessary regulatory approvals being obtained.

NOTE 7. DERIVATIVE WARRANT LIABILITIES

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had 8,050,000 Public Warrants and 4,553,334 Private Placement Warrants outstanding.

Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional Public Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Public Warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering; provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder (or holders are permitted to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis under certain circumstances as a result of (i) the Company’s failure to have an effective registration statement by the 60th business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination or (ii) a notice of redemption described under “Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $10.00”). The Company agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of its initial Business Combination, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC and have an effective registration statement covering Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed. If the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants are not registered under the Securities Act in accordance with the above requirements, the Company will be required to permit holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis. However, no warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder, or an exemption from registration is available. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company’s Class A ordinary shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

The warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments, and will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share (with such issue

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that, so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, (i) they will not be redeemable by the Company, (ii) they (including Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the Sponsor until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination, (iii) they may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis and (iv) are subject to registration rights.

Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00:

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

        in whole and not in part;

        at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

        upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and

        if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

The Company will not redeem the warrants as described above unless an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares is available throughout the 30-day redemption period. Any such exercise would not be on a cashless basis and would require the exercising warrant holder to pay the exercise price for each warrant being exercised.

Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $10.00:

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:

        in whole and not in part;

        at $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of Class A ordinary shares determined by reference to an agreed table based on the redemption date and the fair market value of the Class A ordinary shares;

        if, and only if, the last reported sale price of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $10.00 per share on the trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and

        if the Reference Value is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted), the Private Placement Warrants must also concurrently be called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants, as described above.

The fair market value of Class A ordinary shares mentioned above shall mean the volume-weighted average price of Class A ordinary shares for the 10 trading days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. In no event will the warrants be exercisable in connection with this redemption feature for more than 0.361 shares of Class A ordinary shares per warrant (subject to adjustment).

In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

NOTE 8. CLASS A ORDINARY SHARES SUBJECT TO POSSIBLE REDEMPTION

The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of future events. The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holder of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 1,910,244 and 24,150,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares outstanding, all of which were subject to redemption, respectively.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Class A ordinary shares reflected on the condensed balance sheets are reconciled on the following table:

share. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 1,910,244 and 24,150,000 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding, all subject to possible redemption and therefore classified as temporary equity on the accompanying condensed balance sheets, respectively. See Note 8.

Class B Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. On November 11, 2020, the Company issued 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares to the Initial Shareholders. On February 1, 2021, the Company declared a stock dividend with respect to the Class B ordinary shares such that 0.05 Class B ordinary shares were issued for each share of Class B ordinary shares, resulting in an aggregate of 6,037,500 Class B ordinary shares outstanding. All shares and associated amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the stock dividend (see Note 5). Of the 6,037,500 Class B ordinary shares outstanding, up to 787,500 Class B ordinary shares were subject to forfeiture to the Company by the Initial Shareholders for no consideration to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part, so that the Initial Shareholders will collectively own 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares after the Initial Public Offering. On February 4, 2021, the underwriter fully exercised its over-allotment option; thus, these 787,500 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.

Ordinary shareholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. Holders of Class A ordinary shares and holders of Class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders except as required by law.

The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of the initial Business Combination, or earlier at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for share sub-divisions, share dividends, rights issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts issued in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of the initial Business Combination, the ratio at which the Class B ordinary shares will convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares agree to waive such anti-dilution adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B ordinary shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of all ordinary shares issued and outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering plus all Class A ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination, excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination.

On March 16, 2023, shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association permitting the conversion of Class B shares to Class A ordinary shares prior to an initial Business Combination at the option of the holder.

On April 5, 2023, Sponsor elected to convert 6,037,499 Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares. Such shares do not have redemption rights. Following such meetings, the redemptions related thereto and the Sponsor’s conversion of Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares, there are a total of 8,517,971 ordinary shares issued and outstanding. At September 30, 2023, there were 8,517,970 Class A ordinary shares and 1 Class B ordinary share outstanding, respectively.

Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2, and 3 are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period. In March 2021, as the Public Warrants begun separately trading, the fair value of the Public Warrants transferred from a Level 3 measurement to a Level 1 measurement. The fair value of the Private Warrants were transferred from a Level 3 to a Level 2 during the fourth quarter of 2022 as the Company determined the difference between the Public Warrant and Private Warrant fair value would be de minimus.

Level 1 assets include investments in mutual funds invested in government securities. The Company uses inputs such as actual trade data, benchmark yields, quoted market prices from dealers or brokers, and other similar sources to determine the fair value of its investments.

The fair value of the Public Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering were initially measured at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Subsequently, the fair value of the Public Warrants has been determined based on the observable listed trading price for such warrants. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants has initially and subsequently been measured at fair value using a Black-Scholes Merton (BSM) model through September 30, 2022. As of December 31, 2022 through September 30, 2023, the Company determined the difference between the Public Warrant and Private Warrant fair value would be de minimus and therefore measured the Private Warrants by reference to the listed trading price of the Public Warrants

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized a gain resulting from a decrease in the fair value of liabilities of approximately $302,000 presented as change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities on the accompanying condensed statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized a gain resulting from a decrease in the fair value of liabilities of approximately $580,000 and $6.5 million, respectively, presented as change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities on the accompanying condensed statements of operations.

The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants, and the Public Warrants prior to being separately listed and traded, was determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Monte Carlo simulation and BSM model are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its ordinary shares based on historical volatility of select peer companies

that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at zero. Changes in these valuation assumptions can change the valuation significantly.

The change in the fair value of the derivative warrant liabilities measured utilizing Level 3 inputs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, are summarized as follows:

NOTE 11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred up to the date the unaudited condensed financial statements were issued. The Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the unaudited condensed financial statement, except as described below:

On October 1, 2023, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Business Combination Agreement by and among the Company, the Sponsor, Braiin, Braiin Holdings Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly owned subsidiary of NRAC, and Braiin Supporting Shareholders. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination will be effected in two steps: (i) subject to the approval and adoption of the Amended and Restated Business Combination Agreement by the shareholders of NRAC, NRAC will merge with and into PubCo and wholly owned subsidiary of NRAC with PubCo remaining as the surviving publicly traded entity (the ”Initial Business Combination”); and (ii) a share exchange in which Braiin shareholders exchange 100% of their Braiin Shares for a pro rata portion of Ordinary Shares, par value $1.00 per share, of PubCo (the “PubCo Ordinary Shares”) with an aggregate value of $572 million (the “Share Exchange”). The number of shares to be issued will be based upon a per share value of $10.00. The aggregate value is subject to adjustment up or down based upon certain indebtedness and cash on hand of Braiin as set forth in its audited financial statements. Prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, it is anticipated that Braiin will acquire PowerTec and Vega Global Technologies Pty Ltd., an Australian agricultural technology company (“Vega”). Following the Share Exchange, Braiin will continue as a subsidiary of PubCo. We refer to PubCo after giving effect to the Business Combination, as “New Braiin.”

Trust Deposits

On October 1, 2023, the Company issued unsecured promissory notes to the Sponsor pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $57,307. The October 1, 2023 payment was received into the Company’s operating account. The October 1, 2023 note is non-interest bearing, unsecured and payable upon the earlier of (i) the effective date of close of business combination, or (ii) the date of liquidation. The October 1, 2023 note is subject to customary events of default which could, subject to certain conditions, cause the October 1, 2023 note to become immediately due and payable.

In connection with the shareholders’ approval of the Extension Proposal, the Sponsor contributed to the Company as a loan (each loan being referred to herein as a “contribution”) seventh deposits of $100,000 each and two deposits of $57,307 into the Trust Account through October 25, 2023 totaling $814,614.

NORTHERN REVIVAL ACQUISITION CORPORATION
(FORMERLY KNOWN AS NOBLE ROCK ACQUISITION CORPORATION)
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Northern Revival Acquisition Corporation (the “Company,” or “NRAC”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on November 4, 2020 with the name “Noble Rock Acquisition Corporation.” The Company changed its name on March 16, 2023 to Northern Revival Acquisition Corporation. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses that the Company has not yet identified (“Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had not yet commenced operations. All activity through June 30, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) described below, and since the Initial Public Offering, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income on investments held in trust from the proceeds of its Initial Public Offering.

The Company’s sponsor is Northern Revival Sponsor LLC, a Cayman Island limited liability company which changed its name from Noble Rock Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on February 1, 2021. On February 4, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 24,150,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), which included 3,150,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments (the “Over-Allotment Units”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $241.5 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $14.4 million, net of reimbursement from the underwriter. Of these offering costs, approximately $9.1 million and approximately $320,000 was for deferred underwriting commissions and deferred legal fees, respectively (Note 6).

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 4,553,334 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”), at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant with the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $6.8 million (Note 4).

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $241.5 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee and invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of its Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The Company’s initial Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes, if permitted, and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting fees and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time the Company signs a definitive agreement in connection

with the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

The Company will provide its holders of the Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially at $10.00 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). The per-share amount to be distributed to Public Shareholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 6). These Public Shares are recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” (“ASC 480). In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association adopted by the Company upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering (the “Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, a shareholder approval of the transactions is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the holders of the Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) prior to the Initial Public Offering (the “Initial Shareholders”) agreed to vote their Founder Shares and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination. In addition, the Initial Shareholders agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination. In addition, the Company agreed not to enter into a definitive agreement regarding an initial Business Combination without the prior consent of the Sponsor.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Class A ordinary shares sold in the Initial Public Offering, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Company’s Sponsor, executive officers and directors agreed not to propose an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide for the redemption of its Public Shares in connection with a Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination, unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Class A ordinary shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (cont.)

Shareholder Meeting, Extension, Redemptions and Trust Deposits

On January 27, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders (the “Meeting”) to amend its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Extension Amendment”) to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate an initial Business Combination from February 4, 2023 to February 4, 2024 or such earlier date as determined by the board. At the Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved a special resolution for the Extension Proposal, (as described above). The Extension Proposal is described in detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC and dated January 6, 2023 and was approved at the Meeting. In connection with its solicitation of proxies in connection with the Extension Proposal, the Company was required to permit its public shareholders to redeem its ordinary shares. Of the 24,150,000 Class A ordinary shares outstanding with redemption rights, the holders of 21,240,830 Class A ordinary shares elected to redeem their shares at a per share redemption price of approximately $10.17. As a result, approximately $216.1 million was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders.

In connection with the shareholders’ approval of the Extension Proposal, the Sponsor has indicated that, if the Extension Proposal was approved, the Sponsor will contribute to the Company as a loan (each loan being referred to herein as a “contribution”) the lesser of (i) $100,000 and (ii) an aggregate amount equal to $0.055 multiplied by the number of Class A ordinary shares of the Company that are not redeemed in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the Extension Proposal, for each month commencing on February 4, 2023 and on or prior to the fourth day of each subsequent month, if applicable (each such month period an “extension period) until the earlier of (x) the date of the extraordinary general meeting held in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an initial business combination (y) the extended date and (z) the date that the board determines in its sole discretion to no longer seek an initial Business Combination. Each contribution will be deposited in the Trust Account within three business days of the beginning of the extended period which such contribution is for. The contributions will be repayable by the Company to the Sponsor upon consummation of an initial Business Combination. The Company’s board of directors will have the sole discretion whether to continue extending for additional extension periods, and if the board determines not to continue extending for additional months, the additional contributions will terminate. If this occurs, the Company will wind up the Company’s affairs and redeem 100% of the outstanding Public Shares in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Company’s charter.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by February 4, 2024, or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s Directors, (taking into account the extension, the “Combination Period”), the Company will (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In connection with the redemption of 100% of the Company’s outstanding Public Shares for a portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, each holder will receive a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay the Company’s taxes payable (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses).

The Initial Shareholders agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Initial Shareholders should acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters agreed to waive their rights to their deferred

underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.00 per share initially held in the Trust Account. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (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. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have vendors, service providers (except the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Trust Deposits

In connection with the shareholders’ approval of the Extension Proposal, the Sponsor contributed to the Company as a loan (each loan being referred to herein as a “contribution”) six deposits of $100,000 each into the Trust Account through June 30, 2023. See Note 10 for subsequent trust deposits and loans.

General Meeting of Shareholders and Additional Redemptions

On March 16, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “General Meeting”) to vote on a special resolution to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum of Association to change the name to the Company from Noble Rock Acquisition Corporation to Northern Revival Acquisition Corporation and to amend the charter to change certain provisions which restrict the Company’s Class B ordinary shares from converting to Class A ordinary shares prior to the closing of the business combination. Both proposals were approved (the “Conversion Proposal”). The submission of the Conversion Proposal entitled holders of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares to redeem their shares for their pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account. In connection with the General Meeting, of the 2,909,170 remaining Class A ordinary shares outstanding with redemption rights, the holders of 428,699 Class A ordinary shares elected to redeem their shares at a per share redemption price of approximately $10.33 on March 28, 2023. The amount was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders and the 428,699 shares were cancelled in April 2023. On April 5, 2023, the Sponsor elected to convert 6,037,499 Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares. Following such meetings, the redemptions related thereto and the Sponsor’s conversion of Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares, there are a total of 8,517,971 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, including (i) 8,517,970 Class A ordinary shares and (ii) 1 Class B ordinary share outstanding.

Annual Meeting of Shareholders

On August 31, 2023, the Company held an annual general meeting of shareholders. At the meeting, the Company’s shareholders vote on and approved the following proposals: (1) the extension proposal — as a special resolution, to amend the company’s charter pursuant to an amendment to the charter in the form set forth in Annex A of the proxy statement, to extend the date by which the company may either (i) consummate an initial business combination, from September 4, 2023 to February 4, 2024 or such earlier date as determined by the board or (ii) cease its operations, except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete an initial business combination, and (iii) redeem all of the Class A ordinary shares, included as part of the units sold in the company’s Initial Public Offering that was consummated on February 4, 2021 from September 4, 2023 to February 4, 2024 or such earlier date as determined by the board; (2) the net tangible assets (“NTA”) requirement amendment proposal — as a special resolution, to amend the charter pursuant to an amendment to the charter in the form set forth in Annex B of the proxy statement, to remove the net tangible asset requirement from the charter in order to expand the methods that the company may employ so as not to become subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC; (3) the directors proposal — as an ordinary resolution, to reelect two (2) Class I directors to serve until the annual general meeting in 2026 and until their respective successors have been duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation, removal or death; and (4) the adjournment proposal — as an ordinary resolution, to approve the adjournment of the general 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 the extension proposal, the NTA requirement amendment proposal, and the directors proposal.

The meeting had been commenced on August 30, 2023 and then immediately adjourned until the following day.

Proposed Business Combination

On March 20, 2023, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with its Sponsor, Braiin Limited, an Australian public company limited by shares (“Braiin”), and certain Braiin shareholders (the “Braiin Supporting Shareholders”) who collectively own 100% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Braiin (the “Braiin Shares”). Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, a business combination between NRAC and Braiin (the “Business Combination”) will be effected as a share exchange in which Braiin shareholders exchange 100% of their Braiin Shares for a pro rata portion of Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of NRAC (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”) with an aggregate value of $190 million (the “Share Exchange”). The number of shares to be issued will be based upon a per share value of $10.00. The aggregate value is subject to adjustment up or down based upon certain indebtedness and cash on hand of Braiin as set forth in its audited financial statements. Prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, Braiin will acquire PowerTec Holdings Ltd., an Australian distributor that supplies connectivity solutions to individuals and businesses around the world. (“PowerTec”). Following the Share Exchange, Braiin will continue as a subsidiary of the Company, and the Company will change its name to “Braiin Holdings.” We refer to NRAC after giving effect to the Business Combination, as “New Braiin.”

Simultaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, NRAC and Braiin entered into separate support agreements with the Braiin Supporting Shareholders and the Sponsor pursuant to which the Braiin Supporting Shareholders and the Sponsor have agreed to vote their Braiin shares and NRAC shares, respectively, in favor of the Business Combination and against any competing acquisition proposal, and not to solicit any competing acquisition proposal. In addition, the Sponsor has agreed to surrender 1,500,000 NRAC founder shares immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”) and to waive: (i) redemption rights with respect to its NRAC shares in connection with the Business Combination, and (ii) the right to have any working capital loans extended to NRAC converted into warrants.

Forward Purchase Agreements

In connection with the Business Combination, on March 16, 2023, the Company and Braiin entered into an OTC Equity Prepaid Forward Transaction agreement (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”) with certain funds managed by Meteora Capital, LLC, an investor in the Sponsor (the “Meteora Funds”).

The Forward Purchase Agreement was entered into on March 16, 2023, prior to the signing and announcement of the Business Combination Agreement. Pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement, Meteora has agreed to make purchases of Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company: (a) in open-market purchases through a broker after the date of the Company’s redemption deadline in connection with the vote of the Company shareholders to approve the Business Combination from holders of Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company, including those who elect to redeem Class A Ordinary Shares and subsequently revoked their prior elections to redeem (the “Recycled Shares”) and (b) directly from the Company, newly-issued Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company (the “Additional Shares” and, together with the Recycled Shares, the “Subject Shares”). The aggregate total Subject Shares will be up to 2,900,000 (but not more than 9.9% of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding on a post-transaction basis) (the “Maximum Number of Shares”). Meteora has agreed to waive any redemption rights with respect to any Subject Shares in connection with the Business Combination.

Liquidity and going concern

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $7,000 in its operating bank account and working capital deficit of approximately $2.0 million.

The Company’s liquidity needs to date have been satisfied through a payment of $25,000 from the Sponsor to cover for certain expenses in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5), the loan of $195,000 from the Sponsor pursuant to the Note (as defined in Note 5), and the proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. The Company repaid the Note in full on February 5, 2021. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans (as defined in Note 5). As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no amounts outstanding or any Working Capital Loans. Management intends to utilize Sponsor support to continue meeting its obligations.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern,” the Company has until February 4, 2024, or such earlier date as determined by its Directors to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to meet its obligations within the next 12 months or consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by the end of the Combination Period, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after.

On August 31, 2023, the Company held an annual general meeting of shareholders. At the meeting, the Company’s shareholders voted on and approved the following proposals: (1) the extension proposal — as a special resolution, to amend the company’s charter pursuant to an amendment to the charter in the form set forth in Annex A of the proxy statement, to extend the date by which the company may either (i) consummate an initial business combination, from September 4, 2023 to February 4, 2024 or such earlier date as determined by the board or (ii) cease its operations, except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete an initial business combination, and (iii) redeem all of the Class A ordinary shares, included as part of the units sold in the company’s Initial Public Offering that was consummated on February 4, 2021 from September 4, 2023 to February 4, 2024 or such earlier date as determined by the board; (2) the NTA requirement amendment proposal — as a special resolution, to amend

the charter pursuant to an amendment to the charter in the form set forth in Annex B of the proxy statement, to remove the net tangible asset requirement from the charter in order to expand the methods that the company may employ so as not to become subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC; (3) the directors proposal — as an ordinary resolution, to reelect two (2) Class I directors to serve until the annual general meeting in 2026 and until their respective successors have been duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation, removal or death; and (4) the adjournment proposal — as an ordinary resolution, to approve the adjournment of the general 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 the extension proposal, the NTA requirement amendment proposal, and the directors proposal.

Risks and uncertainties

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine and the surrounding region on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that these risks and uncertainties could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or completing the business combination, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these condensed financial statements. The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared in U.S. dollars and in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) considered for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements in the Annual Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC on May 1, 2023.

Emerging growth company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth

company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s condensed financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of estimates

The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the condensed financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no cash equivalents.

Investments held in Trust Account

The funds in the trust account, since the Company’s Initial Public Offering, was held only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. government treasury obligations and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. However, to mitigate the risk of us being deemed to have been operating as an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act ), the Company’s has instructed Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee with respect to the trust account, to liquidate the U.S. government treasury obligations or money market funds held in the trust account and thereafter to hold all funds in the trust account in cash in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank until the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination, another initial business combination or our liquidation. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of money market funds, the investments are recognized at fair value. Trading securities and investments in money market funds are presented on the condensed balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities is included in income on investments held in the Trust Account in the accompanying condensed statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information. At June 30, 2023, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds which are invested primarily in U.S. Treasury securities. At December 31, 2022, all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds which are invested primarily in U.S. Treasury securities.

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage limit of $250,000. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements,” equals or approximates the carrying amounts represented in the condensed balance sheets.

Fair value measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value.

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers consist of:

   Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

   Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

   Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Derivative warrant liabilities

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued warrants to purchase ordinary shares, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), Embedded Derivatives (“ASC 815-15”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative warrant liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

The warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering (the “Public Warrants”) and the Private Placement Warrants are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”). Accordingly, the Company recognizes the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The fair value of the Public Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering were initially measured at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company determined the difference between the Public Warrant and Private Warrant fair value would be de minimus and therefore measured the Private Warrants by reference to the listed trading price of the Public Warrants (See Note 10). As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of the Public Warrants has been determined based on the observable listed trading price for such warrants.

Forward Purchase Agreement Derivative Liability

On March 16, 2023, the Company entered into a Forward Purchase Agreement (see Note 1). The Company accounts for the Forward Purchase Agreement as a derivative instrument in accordance with the guidance in ASC 815-40. The instrument is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date, with changes in fair value recognized in the statements of operations. The ability of the Company to receive any of the proceeds of the Forward Purchase Agreement is dependent upon the financial metrics of the business combination target, among other factors, rendering the receipt of such proceeds outside the control of the Company. At June 30, 2023, the value of the forward purchase derivative liability was $196,766.

Offering costs associated with the Initial Public Offering

Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the Initial Public Offering that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs are allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with derivative warrant liabilities were expensed as incurred and presented as non-operating expenses in the condensed statement of operations. Offering costs associated with the Class A ordinary shares were charged against the carrying value of the Class A ordinary shares. The Company classifies deferred underwriting commissions as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 2,480,471 and 24,150,000 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s condensed balance sheets, respectively.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the remeasurement from initial book value to redemption amount value. The changes in the carrying value of redeemable Class A ordinary shares resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.

Income taxes

ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the Government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman federal income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s condensed financial statements. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Net income (loss) per ordinary share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net income (loss) per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period.

The calculation of diluted net income (loss) does not consider the effect of the warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering and the private placement warrants to purchase an aggregate of 12,603,334 shares of Class A ordinary shares in the calculation of diluted income per share, because their exercise is contingent upon future events. Remeasurement associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13 — Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). This update requires financial assets measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectibility of the reported amount. Since June 2016, the FASB issued clarifying updates to the new standard including changing the effective date for smaller reporting companies. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

The Company’s management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed financial statements.

NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

On February 4, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 24,150,000 Units, which includes 3,150,000 Over-Allotment Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $241.5 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $14.4 million, net of reimbursement from the underwriter. Of these offering costs, approximately $9.1 million and approximately $320,000 was for deferred underwriting commissions and deferred legal fees, respectively.

Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one redeemable warrant. Each whole Public Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7).

NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 4,553,334 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant with the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $6.8 million. On February 4, 2021, the day of issuance, the fair value of the Private Placement warrants was approximately $6.7 million compared to the gross proceeds received of approximately $6.8 million, therefore, an excess of approximately $85,000 cash was received over the fair value of the Private Placement warrants. The excess in cash received over the fair value of the Private Placement warrants is recorded as additional paid in capital on the statement of changes in shareholders’ deficit.

Each whole Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one whole share of Class A ordinary shares at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable for cash and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Warrants until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On November 11, 2020, the Initial Shareholders paid an aggregate of $25,000 for certain expenses on behalf of the Company in exchange for issuance of 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”). On February 1, 2021, the Company declared a stock dividend with respect to the Class B ordinary shares such that 0.05 Class B ordinary shares were issued for every one Class B ordinary share, resulting in an aggregate of 6,037,500 Class B ordinary shares outstanding. The initial shareholders agreed to forfeit up to an aggregate of 787,500 Founder Shares, on a pro rata basis, to the extent that the option to purchase additional units was not exercised in full by the underwriters, so that the Founder Shares would represent 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. On February 4, 2021, the underwriter fully exercised its over-allotment option; thus, these 787,500 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.

The Initial Shareholders agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (A) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (ii) the date following the completion of the initial Business Combination on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, the Founder Shares will be released from the lockup.

Related Party Loans

On November 11, 2020, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 to be used for the payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). The Note was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Through February 4, 2021, the Company borrowed a total of $195,000 and repaid the Note in full on February 5, 2021.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, members of the Company’s founding team or any of their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lenders’ discretion, up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no outstanding Working Capital Loans.

Advances from Related Party

The Sponsor, directors and officers, or any of their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on the Company’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable Business Combinations. The Company’s audit committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by us to the Sponsor, directors, officers or the Company’s or any of their affiliates. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Sponsor had advanced the Company

Promissory Note — related party

In connection with the shareholders’ approval of the Extension Proposal, the Sponsor contributed to the Company as a loan (each loan being referred to herein as a “contribution”) five deposits of $100,000 each into the Trust Account by June 30, 2023. The Company issued unsecured promissory notes to the Sponsor for $500,000 as extension loans as of June 30, 2023 since the funds were received in the Company operating account as of such date. The promissory notes bear no interest and all unpaid principal under the promissory notes will be due and payable in full up upon the consummation of the Business Combination. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $500,000 outstanding balance under these notes.

Administrative Agreement

Commencing on the date that the Company’s securities were first listed on Nasdaq through the earlier of consummation of the initial Business Combination and the liquidation, the Company agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $30,000 per month for office space, administrative, financial and support services. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred expenses under this agreement of $90,000 and $180,000, which are included in general and administrative expenses on the accompanying condensed statements of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred expenses under this agreement of $90,000 and $180,000, which are included in general and administrative expenses on the accompanying condensed statements of operations. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the payable was $150,000 and $0, of which is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed balance sheets, respectively.

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES

Registration and Shareholder Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants, and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or warrants issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) were entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement signed upon the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of these securities were entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registers such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of this prospectus to purchase up to 3,150,000 additional Units at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On February 4, 2021, the underwriter fully exercised its over-allotment option.

The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or approximately $4.8 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, $0.375 per unit, or approximately $9.1 million in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the

event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. In addition, the Company received reimbursement from the underwriters of certain expenses in connection with the Initial Public Offering in the aggregate amount of $603,750, equal to 0.25% of the offering gross proceeds.

Contingent Fee Arrangement

On August 4, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with an independent third party to provide sourcing and advisory services related to completing a successful business combination. As consideration for the services to be rendered, the Company has agreed to pay them a success fee of $2,415,000, payable only upon the completion of a business combination. Any related expenses or out-of-pocket costs are borne solely by the third party.

Deferred Legal Fees

The Company engaged a legal counsel firm for legal advisory services, and the legal counsel agreed to defer their fees in excess of $250,000. The deferred fee will become payable in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had deferred legal fees of approximately $1.1 million in connection with such services on the accompanying condensed balance sheets.

Nasdaq Letters

On April 4, 2023, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC notifying the Company that for the last 30 consecutive business days prior to the date of the letter, the Company’s Minimum Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) was less than $35.0 million, which does not meet the requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “MVLS Rule”). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Nasdaq has provided the Company with 180 calendar days, or until October 3, 2023, to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule. The MVLS Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s securities on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

The Company’s Sponsor, the holder of our Class B ordinary shares, agreed to convert 6,037,499 of its Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares which conversion occurred effective as of April 5, 2023. The Company believes the conversion will allow it to regain compliance with the MVLS requirement. On a pro forma basis, based on the closing stock price of the Class A ordinary shares on April 4, 2023 of $10.27, this conversion would increase the MVLS by approximately $62 million. In order for the Company to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule, the Company’s MVLS must equal or exceed $35.0 million for at least 10 consecutive trading days however and Nasdaq must provide written confirmation to the Company to close the matter.

In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the MVLS Rule prior to the expiration of the compliance period, it will receive written notification that its securities are subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel.

On April 21, 2023, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC notifying the Company that it failed to comply with the Nasdaq Listing Rules since it had not filed its Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2022. The Company was provided with 60 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance. Once a plan for compliance is accepted, Nasdaq can grant an exception for up to 180 calendar days to regain compliance. On May 1, 2023, the Company filed its Form 10-K. Additionally, on May 1, 2023, the Company received a letter indicating that Nasdaq had determined that the Company was now in compliance and that the matter was closed.

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES (cont.)

On May 24, 2023, the Company received a further letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) as a result of it not having timely filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The Nasdaq notification letter provides the Company with 60 calendar days, or until July 24, 2023, to submit a plan to regain compliance in accordance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements. If the Company’s plan is accepted, Nasdaq may grant the Company up to 180 days, or until November 20, 2023, for the Company to regain compliance. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company’s plan, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Nasdaq Hearings Pane under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(a). The Company did not expect submission of a compliance plan would be necessary and it filed this Form 10-Q on June 6, 2023, prior to the expiration of the 60 day period.

On August 8, 2023, the Company received a letter from Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC notifying the Company that the staff has determined that for the last 11 consecutive business days, from July 10, 2023 to August 8, 2023, the Company’s MVLS has been $35 million or greater and accordingly, the Company has regained compliance with the MVLS rule. This matter is now closed.

Forward Purchase Agreement

In connection with the Business Combination, on March 16, 2023, NRAC and Braiin entered into an OTC Equity Prepaid Forward Transaction agreement (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”) with certain funds managed by Meteora Capital, LLC, an investor in the Sponsor (the “Meteora Funds”).

The Forward Purchase Agreement was entered into on March 16, 2023, prior to the signing and announcement of the Business Combination Agreement. Pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement, Meteora has agreed to make purchases of Class A Ordinary Shares of NRAC: (a) in open-market purchases through a broker after the date of NRAC’s redemption deadline in connection with the vote of NRAC shareholders to approve the Business Combination from holders of Class A Ordinary Shares of NRAC, including those who elect to redeem Class A Ordinary Shares and subsequently revoked their prior elections to redeem (the “Recycled Shares”) and (b) directly from NRAC, newly-issued Class A Ordinary Shares of NRAC (the “Additional Shares” and, together with the Recycled Shares, the “Subject Shares”). The aggregate total Subject Shares will be up to 2,900,000 (but not more than 9.9% of NRAC’s Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding on a post-transaction basis) (the “Maximum Number of Shares”). Meteora has agreed to waive any redemption rights with respect to any Subject Shares in connection with the Business Combination.

The Company filed a current report on Form 8-K on March 21, 2023 with the full Business Combination Agreement and supporting agreements.

The Forward Purchase Agreement provides that no later than the earlier of (a) one business day after the closing of the Business Combination and (b) the date any assets from NRAC’s trust account are disbursed in connection with the Business Combination, the Combined Company will pay to Meteora, out of funds held in its Trust Account, an amount (the “Prepayment Amount”) equal to (x) the per-share redemption price (the “Initial Price”) multiplied by (y) the number of Recycled Shares on the date of such prepayment less the Prepayment Shortfall. The Prepayment Shortfall is equal to the lesser of (i) ten percent of the product of (x) the Number of NRAC Class A Ordinary Shares multiplied by (y) the Initial Price and (ii) $3,000,000.

Meteora may, at its discretion and at any time following the closing of the Business Combination, provide an Optional Early Termination notice (“OET Notice”) and pay to the Combined Company the product of the “Reset Price” and the number of NRAC’s Class A Ordinary Shares listed on the OET Notice. The Reset Price shall initially equal the Initial Price but shall be adjusted on the first scheduled trading date of each two-week period commencing on the first week following the 30th day after the closing of the Business Combination to the lowest of (i) the current Reset Price, (ii) the Initial Price and (iii) the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of NRAC’s Class A Ordinary Shares of the prior two-week period.

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES (cont.)

The Forward Purchase Agreement matures on the earlier to occur of (a) three years after the closing of the Business Combination, (b) the date specified by Meteora in a written notice delivered at Meteora’s discretion if (i) the VWAP of NRAC’s Class A Ordinary Shares during 10 out of 30 consecutive trading days is at or below $5.00 per Share, or (ii) the Shares are delisted from a national securities exchange. At maturity, Meteora will be entitled to receive maturity consideration in cash or shares. The maturity consideration will equal the product of (1) (a) the Number of NRAC Class A Ordinary Shares less (b) the number of Terminated Shares, multiplied by (2) $1.50 in the event of cash or, in the event of NRAC Class A Ordinary Shares, $2.00; and $2.50, solely in the event of a registration failure.

The Forward Purchase Agreement has been structured, and all activity in connection with such agreement has been undertaken, to comply with the requirements of all tender offer regulations applicable to the Business Combination, including Rule 14e-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The Forward Purchase Agreement may be terminated by any of the parties thereto if the Business Combination Agreement is terminated pursuant to its terms prior to the closing of the Business Combination.

NRAC has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless Meteora, its affiliates, assignees and other parties described therein (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against all losses, claims, damages and liabilities under the Forward Purchase Agreement (excluding liabilities relating to the manner in which Meteora sells any shares it owns) and reimburse the Indemnified Parties for their reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such liabilities, subject to certain exceptions described therein, and has agreed to contribute to any amounts required to be paid by any Indemnified Parties if such indemnification is unavailable or insufficient to hold such party harmless.

Sponsor Support Agreement and Share Surrender

Simultaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, NRAC and Braiin entered into a support agreement with the Sponsor (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”) pursuant to which the Sponsor has agreed to vote its NRAC ordinary shares and its Private Placement Warrants in favor of the Business Combination and against any competing acquisition proposal, and not to solicit any competing acquisition proposal. In addition, the Sponsor has agreed to surrender 1,500,000 NRAC Class B Ordinary Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time and to waive: (i) redemption rights with respect to its NRAC shares in connection with the Business Combination, and (ii) the right to have any working capital loans extended to NRAC converted into warrants.

Company Shareholder Lock-Up Agreements

Simultaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, NRAC and Braiin entered into a support agreement with the Braiin Supporting Shareholders (the “Company Shareholder Support Agreement”) pursuant to which the Braiin Supporting Shareholders have agreed to vote their Braiin shares in favor of the Business Combination and against any competing acquisition proposal, and not to solicit any competing acquisition proposal.

The consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned upon, among other things, (i) the absence of any governmental or court order, determination or injunction enjoining or prohibiting the Business Combination and related transactions, (ii) effectiveness of the Registration Statement and completion of the Shareholder Meeting, including any associated redemptions by NRAC shareholders, (iii) NRAC having at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) after all redemptions, (iv) approval of the Business Combination and related transactions at the Shareholder Meeting, (v) the Share Consideration being approved for listing on Nasdaq, and (vi) all necessary regulatory approvals being obtained.

NOTE 7. DERIVATIVE WARRANT LIABILITIES

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had 8,050,000 Public Warrants and 4,553,334 Private Placement Warrants outstanding.

Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional Public Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Public Warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering; provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder (or holders are permitted to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis under certain circumstances as a result of (i) the Company’s failure to have an effective registration statement by the 60th business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination or (ii) a notice of redemption described under “Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $10.00”). The Company agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of its initial Business Combination, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC and have an effective registration statement covering Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed. If the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants are not registered under the Securities Act in accordance with the above requirements, the Company will be required to permit holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis. However, no warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder, or an exemption from registration is available. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company’s Class A ordinary shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

The warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments, and will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the board of directors, and in the case of any such issuance to the initial shareholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by them prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of each warrant will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) such that the effective exercise price per full share will be equal to 115% of the higher of (i) the Market Value and (ii) the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per-share redemption trigger price described under “Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00” and “Redemption of warrants for Class A ordinary shares when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00” will be

adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of (i) the Market Value and (ii) the Newly Issued Price, and the $10.00 per-share redemption trigger price described under “Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $10.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to the higher of (i) the Market Value and (ii) the Newly Issued Price.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that, so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, (i) they will not be redeemable by the Company, (ii) they (including Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the Sponsor until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination, (iii) they may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis and (iv) are subject to registration rights.

Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00:

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

        in whole and not in part;

        at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

        upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and

        if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

The Company will not redeem the warrants as described above unless an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares is available throughout the 30-day redemption period. Any such exercise would not be on a cashless basis and would require the exercising warrant holder to pay the exercise price for each warrant being exercised.

Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $10.00:

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:

        in whole and not in part;

        at $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of Class A ordinary shares determined by reference to an agreed table based on the redemption date and the fair market value of the Class A ordinary shares;

        if, and only if, the last reported sale price of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $10.00 per share on the trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and

        if the Reference Value is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted), the Private Placement Warrants must also concurrently be called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants, as described above.

In no event will the warrants be exercisable in connection with this redemption feature for more than 0.361 shares of Class A ordinary shares per warrant (subject to adjustment).

In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

NOTE 8. CLASS A ORDINARY SHARES SUBJECT TO POSSIBLE REDEMPTION

The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of future events. The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holder of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 2,480,471 and 24,150,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares outstanding, all of which were subject to redemption, respectively.

NOTE 9. SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT (cont.)

Class B Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. On November 11, 2020, the Company issued 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares to the Initial Shareholders. On February 1, 2021, the Company declared a stock dividend with respect to the Class B ordinary shares such that 0.05 Class B ordinary shares were issued for each share of Class B ordinary shares, resulting in an aggregate of 6,037,500 Class B ordinary shares outstanding. All shares and associated amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the stock dividend (see Note 5). Of the 6,037,500 Class B ordinary shares outstanding, up to 787,500 Class B ordinary shares were subject to forfeiture to the Company by the Initial Shareholders for no consideration to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part, so that the Initial Shareholders will collectively own 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares after the Initial Public Offering. On February 4, 2021, the underwriter fully exercised its over-allotment option; thus, these 787,500 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.

Ordinary shareholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. Holders of Class A ordinary shares and holders of Class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders except as required by law.

The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of the initial Business Combination, or earlier at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for share sub-divisions, share dividends, rights issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts issued in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of the initial Business Combination, the ratio at which the Class B ordinary shares will convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares agree to waive such anti-dilution adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B ordinary shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of all ordinary shares issued and outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering plus all Class A ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination, excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination.

On March 16, 2023, shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association permitting the conversion of Class B shares to Class A ordinary shares prior to an initial Business Combination at the option of the holder.

On April 5, 2023, Sponsor elected to convert 6,037,499 Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares. Such shares do not have redemption rights. Following such meetings, the redemptions related thereto and the Sponsor’s conversion of Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares, there are a total of 8,517,971 ordinary shares issued and outstanding. At June 30, 2023, there were 8,517,970 Class A ordinary shares and 1 Class B ordinary share outstanding, respectively.

Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2, and 3 are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period. In March 2021, as the Public Warrants begun separately trading, the fair value of the Public Warrants transferred from a Level 3 measurement to a Level 1 measurement. The fair value of the Private Warrants were transferred from a Level 3 to a Level 2 during the fourth quarter of 2022 as the Company determined the difference between the Public Warrant and Private Warrant fair value would be de minimus.

Level 1 assets include investments in mutual funds invested in government securities. The Company uses inputs such as actual trade data, benchmark yields, quoted market prices from dealers or brokers, and other similar sources to determine the fair value of its investments.

The fair value of the Public Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering were initially measured at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Subsequently, the fair value of the Public Warrants has been determined based on the observable listed trading price for such warrants. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants has initially and subsequently been measured at fair value using a Black-Scholes Merton (BSM) model through September 30, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, the Company determined the difference between the Public Warrant and Private Warrant fair value would be de minimus and therefore measured the Private Warrants by reference to the listed trading price of the Public Warrants.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized a gain resulting from a decrease in the fair value of liabilities of approximately $0.4 million and $0, respectively, presented as change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities on the accompanying condensed statements of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized a gain resulting from a decrease in the fair value of liabilities of approximately $1.7 million and $5.9 million, respectively, presented as change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities on the accompanying condensed statements of operations.

NOTE 10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (cont.)

The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants, and the Public Warrants prior to being separately listed and traded, was determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Monte Carlo simulation and BSM model are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its ordinary shares based on historical volatility of select peer companies that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at zero. Changes in these valuation assumptions can change the valuation significantly.

The change in the fair value of the derivative warrant liabilities measured utilizing Level 3 inputs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, are summarized as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Northern Revival Acquisition Corporation (formerly known as
Noble Rock Acquisition Corporation)

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Northern Revival Acquisition Corporation (formerly known as Noble Rock Acquisition Corporation) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Explanatory Paragraph — Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1, the Company has incurred significant costs, needs to raise additional funds to meet its obligations and sustain its operations and the Company’s business plan is dependent on the completion of a business combination. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NORTHERN REVIVAL ACQUISITION CORPORATION

(FORMERLY KNOWN AS NOBLE ROCK ACQUISITION CORPORATION)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Northern Revival Acquisition Corporation (the “Company,” or “NRAC”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on November 4, 2020 with the name “Noble Rock Acquisition Corporation.” The Company changed its name on March 16, 2023 to Northern Revival Acquisition Corporation. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses that the Company has not yet identified (“Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had not yet commenced operations. All activity through December 31, 2022 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) described below, and since the Initial Public Offering, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income on investments held in trust from the proceeds of its Initial Public Offering.

The Company’s sponsor is Northern Revival Sponsor LLC, a Cayman Island limited liability company which changed its name from Noble Rock Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on February 1, 2021. On February 4, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 24,150,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), which included 3,150,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments (the “Over-Allotment Units”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $241.5 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $14.4 million, net of reimbursement from the underwriter. Of these offering costs, approximately $9.1 million and approximately $320,000 was for deferred underwriting commissions and deferred legal fees, respectively (Note 6).

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 4,553,334 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”), at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant with the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $6.8 million (Note 4).

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $241.5 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee and invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of its Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The Company’s initial Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes, if permitted, and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting fees and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time the Company signs a definitive agreement in connection with the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if

the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

The Company will provide its holders of the Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially at $10.00 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). The per-share amount to be distributed to Public Shareholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 6). These Public Shares are recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” (“ASC 480). In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association adopted by the Company upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering (the “Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, a shareholder approval of the transactions is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the holders of the Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) prior to the Initial Public Offering (the “Initial Shareholders”) agreed to vote their Founder Shares and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination. In addition, the Initial Shareholders agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination. In addition, the Company agreed not to enter into a definitive agreement regarding an initial Business Combination without the prior consent of the Sponsor.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Class A ordinary shares sold in the Initial Public Offering, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Company’s Sponsor, executive officers and directors agreed not to propose an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide for the redemption of its Public Shares in connection with a Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination, unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Class A ordinary shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (cont.)

Shareholder Meeting, Extension, Redemptions and Trust Deposits

On January 27, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders (the “Meeting”) to amend its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Extension Amendment”) to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate an initial Business Combination from February 4, 2023 to September 4, 2023 or such earlier date as determined by the board. At the Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved a special resolution for the Extension Proposal, (as described above). The Extension Proposal is described in detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC and dated January 6, 2023 and was approved at the Meeting. In connection with its solicitation of proxies in connection with the Extension Proposal, the Company was required to permit its public shareholders to redeem its ordinary shares. Of the 24,150,000 Class A ordinary shares outstanding with redemption rights, the holders of 21,240,830 Class A ordinary shares elected to redeem their shares at a per share redemption price of approximately $10.17. As a result, approximately $216.1 million was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders. As of April 27, 2023 the remaining balance of approximately $25.8 million was held as cash in the Trust Account. See Note 11.

In connection with the shareholders’ approval of the Extension Proposal, the Sponsor has indicated that, if the Extension Proposal was approved, the Sponsor will contribute to the Company as a loan (each loan being referred to herein as a “contribution”) the lesser of (i) $10,000 and (ii) an aggregate amount equal to $0.055 multiplied by the number of Class A ordinary shares of the Company that are not redeemed in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the Extension Proposal, for each month commencing on February 4, 2023 and on or prior to the fourth day of each subsequent month, if applicable (each such month period an “extension period) until the earlier of (x) the date of the extraordinary general meeting held in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an initial business combination (y) the extended date and (z) the date that the board determines in its sole discretion to no longer seek an initial Business Combination. Each contribution will be deposited in the Trust Account within three business days of the beginning of the extended period which such contribution is for. The contributions will be repayable by the Company to the Sponsor upon consummation of an initial Business Combination. The Company’s board of directors will have the sole discretion whether to continue extending for additional extension periods, and if the board determines not to continue extending for additional months, the additional contributions will terminate. If this occurs, the Company will wind up the Company’s affairs and redeem 100% of the outstanding Public Shares in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Company’s charter. See Note 11.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by September 4, 2023, or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s Directors, (taking into account the extension, the “Combination Period”), the Company will (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In connection with the redemption of 100% of the Company’s outstanding Public Shares for a portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, each holder will receive a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay the Company’s taxes payable (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses).

The Initial Shareholders agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Initial Shareholders should acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters agreed to waive their rights to their deferred

underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.00 per share initially held in the Trust Account. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (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. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have vendors, service providers (except the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Liquidity and going concern

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $42,000 in its operating bank account and working capital of approximately $2,000.

The Company’s liquidity needs to date have been satisfied through a payment of $25,000 from the Sponsor to cover for certain expenses in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5), the loan of $195,000 from the Sponsor pursuant to the Note (as defined in Note 5), and the proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. The Company repaid the Note in full on February 5, 2021. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans (as defined in Note 5). As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no amounts outstanding or any Working Capital Loans. Management intends to utilize Sponsor support to continue meeting its obligations.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern,” the Company has until September 4, 2023, or such earlier date as determined by its Directors to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to meet its obligations within the next 12 months or consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by the end of the Combination Period, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after.

Risks and uncertainties

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine and the surrounding region on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that these risks and uncertainties could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

The accompanying financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Emerging growth company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Cash and cash equivalents

The company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no cash equivalents.

Investments held in Trust Account

The Company’s portfolio of investments is comprised of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of money market funds, the investments are recognized at fair value. Trading securities and investments in money market funds are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities is included in income on investments held in the Trust Account in the accompanying statement of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage limit of $250,000. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Fair Value of financial instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements,” equals or approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheets.

Fair value measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value.

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers consist of:

        Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

        Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

        Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Derivative warrant liabilities

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued warrants to purchase ordinary shares, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), Embedded Derivatives (“ASC 815-15”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative warrant liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

The warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering (the “Public Warrants”) and the Private Placement Warrants are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”). Accordingly, the Company recognizes the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The fair value of the Public Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering were initially measured at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was measured at fair value using a Black Scholes model at December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2022, the Company determined the difference between the Public Warrant and Private Warrant fair value would be de minimus and therefore measured the Private Warrants by reference to the listed trading price of the Public Warrants (See Note 10). As of December 31, 2022, the fair value of the Public Warrants has been determined based on the observable listed trading price for such warrants.

Offering costs associated with the Initial Public Offering

Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the Initial Public Offering that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs are allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with derivative warrant liabilities were expensed as incurred and presented as non-operating expenses in the statement of operations. Offering costs associated with the Class A ordinary shares were charged against the carrying value of the Class A ordinary shares. The Company classifies deferred underwriting commissions as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at December 31, 2022 and 2021, 24,150,000 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheets.

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. This method would view the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption date for the security. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the remeasurement from initial book value to redemption amount value. The changes in the carrying value of redeemable Class A ordinary shares resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.

Income taxes

ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the Government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman federal income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Net income per ordinary share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net income per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net income by the weighted average ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period.

The calculation of diluted net income does not consider the effect of the warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering and the private placement warrants to purchase an aggregate of 12,603,334 shares of Class A ordinary shares in the calculation of diluted income per share, because their exercise is contingent upon future events. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the number of weighted average Class B ordinary shares for calculating basic net income per ordinary share was reduced for the effect of an aggregate of 787,500 Class B ordinary shares that were subject to forfeiture if the over-allotment option was not exercised in full or part by the underwriters (see Note 5). Since the contingency was satisfied, the Company included these shares in the weighted average number as of the beginning of the period to determine the dilutive impact of these shares. Remeasurement associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Recent accounting pronouncements

The Company’s management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

On February 4, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 24,150,000 Units, which includes 3,150,000 Over-Allotment Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $241.5 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $14.4 million, net of reimbursement from the underwriter. Of these offering costs, approximately $9.1 million and approximately $320,000 was for deferred underwriting commissions and deferred legal fees, respectively.

Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one redeemable warrant. Each whole Public Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7).

NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 4,553,334 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant with the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $6.8 million. On February 4, 2021, the day of issuance, the fair value of the Private Placement warrants was approximately $6.7 million compared to the gross proceeds received of approximately $6.8 million, therefore, an excess of approximately $85,000 cash was received over the fair value of the Private Placement warrants. The excess in cash received over the fair value of the Private Placement warrants is recorded as additional paid in capital on the statement of changes in shareholders’ deficit.

Each whole Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one whole share of Class A ordinary shares at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete

a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable for cash and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Warrants until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On November 11, 2020, the Initial Shareholders paid an aggregate of $25,000 for certain expenses on behalf of the Company in exchange for issuance of 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”). On February 1, 2021, the Company declared a stock dividend with respect to the Class B ordinary shares such that 0.05 Class B ordinary shares were issued for every one Class B ordinary share, resulting in an aggregate of 6,037,500 Class B ordinary shares outstanding. The initial shareholders agreed to forfeit up to an aggregate of 787,500 Founder Shares, on a pro rata basis, to the extent that the option to purchase additional units was not exercised in full by the underwriters, so that the Founder Shares would represent 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. On February 4, 2021, the underwriter fully exercised its over-allotment option; thus, these 787,500 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.

The Initial Shareholders agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (A) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (ii) the date following the completion of the initial Business Combination on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, the Founder Shares will be released from the lockup.

Related Party Loans

On November 11, 2020, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 to be used for the payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). The Note was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Through February 4, 2021, the Company borrowed a total of $195,000 and repaid the Note in full on February 5, 2021.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, members of the Company’s founding team or any of their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lenders’ discretion, up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no outstanding Working Capital Loans.

Administrative Agreement

Commencing on the date that the Company’s securities were first listed on Nasdaq through the earlier of consummation of the initial Business Combination and the liquidation, the Company agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $30,000 per month for office space, administrative, financial and support services. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company incurred expenses under this agreement of $360,000 and $330,000, respectively, included as general and administrative expenses on the accompanying statements of operations.

In addition, the Sponsor, directors and officers, or any of their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on the Company’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable Business Combinations. The Company’s audit committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by us to the Sponsor, directors, officers or the Company’s or any of their affiliates. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company incurred approximately $74,000 of reimbursable expenses to related parties, included as general and administrative expenses on the accompanying statement of operations. As of December 31, 2022, approximately $65,000 of reimbursable expenses was paid by related party and approximately $59,000 is payable and presented as due to related party on the accompanying balance sheets. No expenses were incurred as of December 31, 2021.

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES

Registration and Shareholder Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants, and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or warrants issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) were entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement signed upon the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of these securities were entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registers such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of this prospectus to purchase up to 3,150,000 additional Units at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On February 4, 2021, the underwriter fully exercised its over-allotment option.

The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or approximately $4.8 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, $0.375 per unit, or approximately $9.1 million in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. In addition, the Company received reimbursement from the underwriters of certain expenses in connection with the Initial Public Offering in the aggregate amount of $603,750, equal to 0.25% of the offering gross proceeds.

Contingent Fee Arrangement

On August 4, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with an independent third party to provide sourcing and advisory services related to completing a successful business combination. As consideration for the services to be rendered, the Company has agreed to pay them a success fee of $2,415,000, payable only upon the completion of a business combination. Any related expenses or out-of-pocket costs are borne solely by the third party.

Deferred Legal Fees

The Company engaged a legal counsel firm for legal advisory services, and the legal counsel agreed to defer their fees in excess of $250,000. The deferred fee will become payable in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had deferred legal fees of approximately $1.1 million and $605,000 in connection with such services on the accompanying balance sheets.

NOTE 7. DERIVATIVE WARRANT LIABILITIES

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had 8,050,000 Public Warrants and 4,553,334 Private Placement Warrants outstanding.

Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional Public Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Public Warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering; provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder (or holders are permitted to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis under certain circumstances as a result of (i) the Company’s failure to have an effective registration statement by the 60th business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination or (ii) a notice of redemption described under “Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $10.00”). The Company agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of its initial Business Combination, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC and have an effective registration statement covering Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed. If the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants are not registered under the Securities Act in accordance with the above requirements, the Company will be required to permit holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis. However, no warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder, or an exemption from registration is available. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company’s Class A ordinary shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

The warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments, and will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the board of directors, and in the case of any such issuance to the initial shareholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by them prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of each warrant will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) such that the effective exercise price per full share will be equal to 115% of the higher of (i) the Market Value and (ii) the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per-share redemption trigger price described under “Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00” and “Redemption of warrants for Class A ordinary shares when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of (i) the Market Value and (ii) the Newly Issued Price, and the $10.00 per-share redemption trigger price described under “Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $10.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to the higher of (i) the Market Value and (ii) the Newly Issued Price.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that, so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, (i) they will not be redeemable by the Company, (ii) they (including Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the Sponsor until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination, (iii) they may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis and (iv) are subject to registration rights.

Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00:

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

        in whole and not in part;

        at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

        upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and

        if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

The Company will not redeem the warrants as described above unless an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares is available throughout the 30-day redemption period. Any such exercise would not be on a cashless basis and would require the exercising warrant holder to pay the exercise price for each warrant being exercised.

Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $10.00:

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:

        in whole and not in part;

        at $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of Class A ordinary shares determined by reference to an agreed table based on the redemption date and the fair market value of the Class A ordinary shares;

        if, and only if, the last reported sale price of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $10.00 per share on the trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and

        if the Reference Value is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted), the Private Placement Warrants must also concurrently be called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants, as described above.

The fair market value of Class A ordinary shares mentioned above shall mean the volume-weighted average price of Class A ordinary shares for the 10 trading days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. In no event will the warrants be exercisable in connection with this redemption feature for more than 0.361 shares of Class A ordinary shares per warrant (subject to adjustment).

In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

NOTE 8. CLASS A ORDINARY SHARES SUBJECT TO POSSIBLE REDEMPTION

The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of future events. The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holder of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were 24,150,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares outstanding, all of which were subject to redemption.

Preference Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 preference shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.

Class A Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 Class A ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were 24,150,000 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding, all subject to possible redemption and therefore classified as temporary equity on the accompanying balance sheets. See Note 8.

Class B Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. On November 11, 2020, the Company issued 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares to the Initial Shareholders. On February 1, 2021, the Company declared a stock dividend with respect to the Class B ordinary shares such that 0.05 Class B ordinary shares were issued for each share of Class B ordinary shares, resulting in an aggregate of 6,037,500 Class B ordinary shares outstanding. All shares and associated amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the stock dividend (see Note 5). Of the 6,037,500 Class B ordinary shares outstanding, up to 787,500 Class B ordinary shares were subject to forfeiture to the Company by the Initial Shareholders for no consideration to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part, so that the Initial Shareholders will collectively own 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares after the Initial Public Offering. On February 4, 2021, the underwriter fully exercised its over-allotment option; thus, these 787,500 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.

Ordinary shareholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. Holders of Class A ordinary shares and holders of Class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders except as required by law.

The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of the initial Business Combination, or earlier at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for share sub-divisions, share dividends, rights issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts issued in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of the initial Business Combination, the ratio at which the Class B ordinary shares will convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares agree to waive such anti-dilution adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B ordinary shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of all ordinary shares issued and outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering plus all Class A ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination, excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination.

Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2, and 3 are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period. In March 2021, as the Public Warrants begun separately trading, the fair value of the Public Warrants transferred from a Level 3 measurement to a Level 1 measurement The fair value of the Private Warrants were transferred from a Level 3 to a Level 2 during the fourth quarter of 2022 as the Company determined the difference between the Public Warrant and Private Warrant fair value would be de minimus.

Level 1 assets include investments in mutual funds invested in government securities. The Company uses inputs such as actual trade data, benchmark yields, quoted market prices from dealers or brokers, and other similar sources to determine the fair value of its investments.

The fair value of the Public Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering were initially measured at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Subsequently, the fair value of the Public Warrants has been determined based on the observable listed trading price for such warrants. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants has initially and subsequently been measured at fair value using a Black-Scholes Merton (BSM) model through September 30, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, the Company determined the difference between the Public Warrant and Private Warrant fair value would be de minimus and therefore measured the Private Warrants by reference to the listed trading price of the Public Warrants

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized a gain resulting from a decrease in the fair value of liabilities of approximately $6.4 million and $11.5 million, respectively, presented as change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities on the accompanying statements of operations.

The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants, and the Public Warrants prior to being separately listed and traded, was determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Monte Carlo simulation and BSM model are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its ordinary shares based on historical volatility of select peer companies that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at zero. Changes in these valuation assumptions can change the valuation significantly.

NOTE 11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred up to the date financial statements were issued. Other than the Shareholder Meeting, Extension, Redemptions and Trust Deposits agreement disclosed in Note 1, the Company identified the following subsequent events that require disclosure:

Nasdaq Letter

On April 4, 2023, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC notifying the Company that for the last 30 consecutive business days prior to the date of the letter, the Company’s Minimum Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) was less than $35.0 million, which does not meet the requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “MVLS Rule”). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Nasdaq has provided the Company with 180 calendar days, or until October 3, 2023, to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule. The MVLS Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s securities on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

The Company’s Sponsor, the holder of our Class B ordinary shares, agreed to convert 6,037,499 of its Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares which the Company believes will allow it to regain compliance with the MVLS requirement. On a pro forma basis, based on the closing stock price of the Class A ordinary shares on April 4, 2023 of $10.27, this conversion would increase the MVLS by approximately $62 million. In order for the Company to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule, the Company’s MVLS must equal or exceed $35.0 million for at least 10 consecutive trading days however and Nasdaq must provide written confirmation to the Company to close the matter.

In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the MVLS Rule prior to the expiration of the compliance period, it will receive written notification that its securities are subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel.

Trust Deposits

In connection with the shareholders’ approval of the Extension Proposal, as described in Note 1, the Sponsor contributed to the Company as a loan (each loan being referred to herein as a “contribution”) a first, second and third deposits of $100,000 each into the Trust Account on February 4, 2023, March 4, 2023 and April 4, 2023.

NOTE 11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (cont.)

General Meeting of Shareholders and Additional Redemptions

On March 16, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “General Meeting”) to vote on a special resolution to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum of Association to change the name to the Company from Noble Rock Acquisition Corporation to Northern Revival Acquisition Corporation and to amend the charter to change certain provisions which restrict the Company’s Class B ordinary shares from converting to Class A ordinary shares prior to the closing of the business combination. Both proposals were approved (the “Conversion Proposal”). The submission of the Conversion Proposal entitled holders of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares to redeem their shares for their pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account. In connection with the General Meeting, as of March 14, 2023, of the 2,909,170 remaining Class A ordinary shares outstanding with redemption rights, the holders of 433,699 Class A ordinary shares elected to redeem their shares at a per share redemption price of approximately $10.07. As a result, approximately $4.4 million was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders. As of April 27, 2023 the remaining balance of approximately $25.8 million is being held as cash in the Trust Account.

Proposed Business Combination

On March 20, 2023, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with its Sponsor, Braiin Limited, an Australian public company limited by shares (“Braiin”), and certain Braiin shareholders (the “Braiin Supporting Shareholders”) who collectively own 100% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Braiin (the “Braiin Shares”). Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, a business combination between NRAC and Braiin (the “Business Combination”) will be effected as a share exchange in which Braiin shareholders exchange 100% of their Braiin Shares for a pro rata portion of Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of NRAC (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”) with an aggregate value of $190 million (the “Share Exchange”). The number of shares to be issued will be based upon a per share value of $10.00. The aggregate value is subject to adjustment up or down based upon certain indebtedness and cash on hand of Braiin as set forth in its audited financial statements. Prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, Braiin will acquire PowerTec Holdings Ltd., an Australian distributor that supplies connectivity solutions to individuals and businesses around the world. (“PowerTec”). Following the Share Exchange, Braiin will continue as a subsidiary of the Company, and the Company will change its name to “Braiin Holdings.” We refer to NRAC after giving effect to the Business Combination, as “New Braiin.”

Simultaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, NRAC and Braiin entered into separate support agreements with the Braiin Supporting Shareholders and the Sponsor pursuant to which the Braiin Supporting Shareholders and the Sponsor have agreed to vote their Braiin shares and NRAC shares, respectively, in favor of the Business Combination and against any competing acquisition proposal, and not to solicit any competing acquisition proposal. In addition, the Sponsor has agreed to surrender 1,500,000 NRAC founder shares immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”) and to waive: (i) redemption rights with respect to its NRAC shares in connection with the Business Combination, and (ii) the right to have any working capital loans extended to NRAC converted into warrants.

Certain Related Agreements

Forward Purchase Agreement

In connection with the Business Combination, on March 16, 2023, NRAC and Braiin entered into an OTC Equity Prepaid Forward Transaction agreement (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”) with certain funds managed by Meteora Capital, LLC, an investor in the Sponsor (the “Meteora Funds”).

The Forward Purchase Agreement was entered into on March 16, 2023, prior to the signing and announcement of the Business Combination Agreement. Pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement, Meteora has agreed to make purchases of Class A Ordinary Shares of NRAC: (a) in open-market purchases through a broker after the

date of NRAC’s redemption deadline in connection with the vote of NRAC shareholders to approve the Business Combination from holders of Class A Ordinary Shares of NRAC, including those who elect to redeem Class A Ordinary Shares and subsequently revoked their prior elections to redeem (the “Recycled Shares”) and (b) directly from NRAC, newly-issued Class A Ordinary Shares of NRAC (the “Additional Shares” and, together with the Recycled Shares, the “Subject Shares”). The aggregate total Subject Shares will be up to 2,900,000 (but not more than 9.9% of NRAC’s Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding on a post-transaction basis) (the “Maximum Number of Shares”). Meteora has agreed to waive any redemption rights with respect to any Subject Shares in connection with the Business Combination.

The Company filed a current report on Form 8-K on March 21, 2023 with the full Business Combination Agreement and supporting agreements.

The Forward Purchase Agreement provides that no later than the earlier of (a) one business day after the closing of the Business Combination and (b) the date any assets from NRAC’s trust account are disbursed in connection with the Business Combination, the Combined Company will pay to Meteora, out of funds held in its Trust Account, an amount (the “Prepayment Amount”) equal to (x) the per-share redemption price (the “Initial Price”) multiplied by (y) the number of Recycled Shares on the date of such prepayment less the Prepayment Shortfall. The Prepayment Shortfall is equal to the lesser of (i) ten percent of the product of (x) the Number of NRAC Class A Ordinary Shares multiplied by (y) the Initial Price and (ii) $3,000,000.

Meteora may, at its discretion and at any time following the closing of the Business Combination, provide an Optional Early Termination notice (“OET Notice”) and pay to the Combined Company the product of the “Reset Price” and the number of NRAC’s Class A Ordinary Shares listed on the OET Notice. The Reset Price shall initially equal the Initial Price but shall be adjusted on the first scheduled trading date of each two-week period commencing on the first week following the 30th day after the closing of the Business Combination to the lowest of (i) the current Reset Price, (ii) the Initial Price and (iii) the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of NRAC’s Class A Ordinary Shares of the prior two-week period.

The Forward Purchase Agreement matures on the earlier to occur of (a) three years after the closing of the Business Combination, (b) the date specified by Meteora in a written notice delivered at Meteora’s discretion if (i) the VWAP of NRAC’s Class A Ordinary Shares during 10 out of 30 consecutive trading days is at or below $5.00 per Share, or (ii) the Shares are delisted from a national securities exchange. At maturity, Meteora will be entitled to receive maturity consideration in cash or shares. The maturity consideration will equal the product of (1) (a) the Number of NRAC Class A Ordinary Shares less (b) the number of Terminated Shares, multiplied by (2) $1.50 in the event of cash or, in the event of NRAC Class A Ordinary Shares, $2.00; and $2.50, solely in the event of a registration failure.

The Forward Purchase Agreement has been structured, and all activity in connection with such agreement has been undertaken, to comply with the requirements of all tender offer regulations applicable to the Business Combination, including Rule 14e-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The Forward Purchase Agreement may be terminated by any of the parties thereto if the Business Combination Agreement is terminated pursuant to its terms prior to the closing of the Business Combination.

NRAC has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless Meteora, its affiliates, assignees and other parties described therein (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against all losses, claims, damages and liabilities under the Forward Purchase Agreement (excluding liabilities relating to the manner in which Meteora sells any shares it owns) and reimburse the Indemnified Parties for their reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such liabilities, subject to certain exceptions described therein, and has agreed to contribute to any amounts required to be paid by any Indemnified Parties if such indemnification is unavailable or insufficient to hold such party harmless.

Independent Auditor’s Report

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the financial statements of Powertec Holdings Ltd and Controlled Entities, which comprise the statements of financial position as at June 30, 2023 and 2022, and the related statements of profit or loss and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the statements of financial position of Powertec Holdings Ltd and Controlled Entities as at June 30, 2023 and 2022 and the related statements of profit or loss and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and Cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of Powertec Holdings Ltd and Controlled Entities, and have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were most significant in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements, and in forming our opinion thereon and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

a)      Going Concern — Based on the audit evidence provided and accounting policies adopted by the management, the entity is considered as a going concern. There are no conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

b)      Inventory — Inventory is recorded on a first in first out basis, measured at lower of cost and net realizable value. The entity has significant levels of inventory. Management has not provided any information in relation to categorization of the inventories into obsolete and/or slow moving and which therefore should be considered for provision.

c)      Revenue Recognition — Powertec’s primary revenue source relates to fees from engineering and technical services. The revenue is based on the services provided and the equipment required. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized on delivery to the customers. The services revenue is recognized upon delivery of the services to the customers.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles (International Financial Reporting Standard) as issued by International Accounting Board, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Powertec Holdings Ltd and Controlled Entities’ ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users made on the basis of these financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

        Use professional judgment and exercise professional skepticism throughout the audit.

        Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

        Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Powertec’ internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

        Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

        Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Powertec’ ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and internal control related matters identified during our audit.

Powertec Holdings Ltd and Controlled Entities
Notes to Financial Statements
(in Australian dollars)

1.      General information and basis of presentation

Powertec Holdings Ltd and Controlled Entities (“Powertec” or “the Company”) is in the business of providing power telecommunications and electronic equipment and installation services.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared using International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business as they become due. The entity has prepared the financial statements on the basis that it will continue to operate as a going concern. This assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

The financial statements of Powertec are presented in Australian dollars.

Going Concern

On June 30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $165,411 (2022: $474,139), negative working capital of $3,874,116 (2022: $6,005,307) and had used cash of $2,606,204 (2022: $1,921,001) in its operating activities for the year ended June 30, 2023. The Company generated comprehensive income of $806,178 (2022: $3,243,728) and as of that date had retained earnings of $9,047,037 (2022: $8,228,020).

Adoption of new and revised standards

Changes in accounting policies on initial application of Accounting Standards

Standards and interpretations applicable to June 30, 2023

In the year ended June 30, 2023, the management of the Company has reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the IFRS that are relevant to the Company’s operations and effective for the current financial reporting period.

It has been determined by the management that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change is necessary to the Company’s accounting policies.

Standards and interpretations on issue not yet effective and adopted

The management has also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the year ended June 30, 2023. As a result of this review, the management has determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued but not yet effective and adopted on its business and, therefore, no further disclosures have been made in this regard.

2.      Summary of significant accounting policies

The significant accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements.

Foreign Currency Translation

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into each entity’s functional currency as rates of exchange in effect at the statement of financial position date. Revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into each entity’s functional currency at rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Gains and losses resulting from translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency are included in the determination of income for the year.

2.      Summary of significant accounting policies (cont.)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, deposits held with banks and highly liquid short-term securities with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase.

Trade Receivables

Trade receivables are recognized initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional, unless they contain significant financing components when they are recognized at fair value.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price less cost to complete and applicable selling expenses.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairments. Costs include expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying value or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost can be measured reliably. The carrying value of a replaced asset is derecognized when replaced. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated from the point at which the asset is ready for use. Depreciation is computed using the methods and rates based on the estimated useful lives of the property, plant and equipment as outlined below:

Provisions

Provisions are liabilities of uncertain timing or amount. A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation for which the amount can be estimated reliably, and it is more likely than not that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are measured at management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation. When the effect of discounting is significant, the amount of the provision is determined by discounting the expected cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and any changes to estimates are reflected in the statement of operations.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current income tax and deferred income tax are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income (loss), in which case the current and/or deferred tax is also recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income (loss). Current income taxes is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years that are expected to be paid. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is

subject to interpretation. The Company establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. Deferred income tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by adjusting net income (loss) and weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period for the effects of dilutive potential shares, which includes any options granted.

Revenue recognition

The entity is in the business of providing power telecommunications and electronic equipment and installation services. Powertec’s primary revenue source relates to fees from engineering and technical services. The revenue is based on the services provided and the equipment required. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The entity has generally concluded that it is the principal in its revenue arrangements, except for the procurement services below, because it typically controls the goods or services.

Revenue from sale of equipment’s is recognised at the point in time when control of the asset is transferred to the customer, generally on delivery of the equipment at the customer’s location. The normal credit term is 30 to 90 days upon delivery.

3.      Cash and cash equivalents

The cash and cash equivalents balance include cash in bank and cash on hand.

Independent Auditor’s Report

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Exato Technologies Private Limited, which comprise the statements of financial position as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, the statements of profit or loss and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the statements of financial position of Exato Technologies Private Limited as at June 30, 2023 and 2022 and the related statements of profit or loss and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of Exato Technologies Private Limited, and have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were most significant in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements, and in forming our opinion thereon and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

a)      Going Concern — Based on the audit evidence provided and accounting policies adopted by the management, the entity is considered as a going concern. There are no conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

b)      Revenue Recognition — Exato generates its revenue from software designing, customization, implementation, maintenance, testing and benchmarking, designing, developing and dealing in computer software and solutions. The client engages in multiyear orders or contracts. These contracts typically range from 5 to 7 years. Each of these long-term contracts includes an Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC), which makes up approximately 10 to 15% of the total order value. This AMC is billed annually. The revenue from the AMC contracts is recognized as per the billed value. This means that revenue is recognized in the financial statements in the same period in which the payment is received from the client.

Accrual accounting would involve recognizing unearned revenue income for the unexpired period of the contract. Management does not apply the concept of accrual accounting to AMC contracts and revenue is recognized when it is billed, not when it is earned over the contract duration.

Exato also offers other value-added services, such as platform implementation, system integration, value added distribution and managed services. The revenue for these additional services is recognized based on either the delivery schedules or monthly billing schedules.

F-126

Table of Contents

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles (International Financial Reporting Standard) as issued by International Accounting Board, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Exato’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users made on the basis of these financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

        Use professional judgment and exercise professional skepticism throughout the audit.

        Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

        Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Exato’ internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

        Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

        Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Exato’ ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and internal control related matters identified during our audit.

Exato Technologies Private Limited
Notes to Financial Statements
(in Australian dollars)

1.      General information and basis of presentation

Exato Technologies Private Limited (“Exato” or “the Company”) is an information technology company incorporated and domiciled in India. Exato offers a comprehensive range of IT products and services and helps consumers address IT sourcing challenges, software-licensing needs, and innovates with new IT solutions.

These financial statements have been prepared using International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business as they become due. The entity has prepared the financial statements on the basis that it will continue to operate as a going concern. This assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

The financial statements of Exato are presented in Australian dollars.

Going Concern

On June 30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3,879,703 (2022: $1,451,611), negative working capital of $199,698 (2022: working capital of $2,400,125) and had generated cash of $3,714,200 (2022: $2,032,553) by its operating activities for the year ended June 30, 2023. The Company generated comprehensive income of $1,937,956 (2022: $607,624) and as of that date had retained earnings of $4,139,747 (2022: $2,881,838).

Adoption of new and revised standards

Changes in accounting policies on initial application of Accounting Standards

Standards and interpretations applicable to June 30, 2023

In the year ended June 30, 2023, the management of the Company has reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the IFRS that are relevant to the Company’s operations and effective for the current financial reporting period.

It has been determined by the management that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change is necessary to the Company’s accounting policies.

Standards and interpretations on issue not yet effective and adopted

The management has also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the year ended June 30, 2023. As a result of this review, the management has determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued but not yet effective and adopted on its business and, therefore, no further disclosures have been made in this regard.

2.      Summary of significant accounting policies

The significant accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements.

Foreign Currency Translation

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into each entity’s functional currency as rates of exchange in effect at the statement of financial position date. Revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into each entity’s functional currency at rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Gains and losses resulting from translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency are included in the determination of income for the year.

2.      Summary of significant accounting policies (cont.)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, deposits held with banks and highly liquid short-term securities with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase.

Trade Receivables

Trade receivables are recognized initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional, unless they contain significant financing components when they are recognized at fair value.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price less cost to complete and applicable selling expenses.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairments. Costs include expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying value or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost can be measured reliably. The carrying value of a replaced asset is derecognized when replaced. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated from the point at which the asset is ready for use. Depreciation is computed using the methods and rates based on the estimated useful lives of the property, plant and equipment as outlined below:

Class of fixed assets

10 to 40

Diminishing value

Leasehold improvements

 

2.5 to 25

 

Diminishing value

Low value pool

 

20 to 40

 

Diminishing value

Provisions

Provisions are liabilities of uncertain timing or amount. A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation for which the amount can be estimated reliably, and it is more likely than not that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are measured at management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation. When the effect of discounting is significant, the amount of the provision is determined by discounting the expected cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and any changes to estimates are reflected in the statement of operations.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current income tax and deferred income tax are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income (loss), in which case the current and/or deferred tax is also recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income (loss). Current income taxes is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years that are expected to be paid. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. The Company establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected

to be paid to the tax authorities. Deferred income tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by adjusting net income (loss) and weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period for the effects of dilutive potential shares, which includes any options granted.

Revenue recognition

The entity is in the business of providing services of software designing, customization, implementation, maintenance, testing and benchmarking, designing, developing and dealing in computer software and solutions. The client engages in multiyear orders or contracts. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The entity has generally concluded that it is the principal in its revenue arrangements, except for the procurement services below, because it typically controls the goods or services.

Revenue from sale of equipment’s is recognised at the point in time when control of the asset is transferred to the customer, generally on delivery of the equipment at the customer’s location. The normal credit term is 30 to 90 days upon delivery.

3.      Cash and cash equivalents

The cash and cash equivalents balance include cash in bank and cash on hand.

Independent Auditor’s Report

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the financial statements of Nisus Australia Pty Limited, which comprise the statements of financial position as at June 30, 2023 and 2022, and the related statements of profit or loss and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the Statements of financial position of Nisus Australia Pty Ltd at June 30, 2023 and 2022 and the related statements of profit or loss and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of Nisus Australia Pty Ltd, and have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were most significant in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements, and in forming our opinion thereon and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

a)      Going Concern — Based on the audit evidence provided and accounting policies adopted by the management, the entity is considered as a going concern. There are no conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

b)      Revenue Recognition — Nisus Australia provided ICT Consulting and personnel services. The revenue is based on the services provided. The services revenue is recognized upon delivery of the services to the customers. The largest client of Nisus Australia Pty Ltd is Australian Government contributing 95% of the revenue. This possesses a significant risk if government policies are changed.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles (International Financial Reporting Standard) as issued by International Accounting Board, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Nisus Australia’ ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users made on the basis of these financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

        Use professional judgment and exercise professional skepticism throughout the audit.

        Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

        Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Nisus Australia’ internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

        Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

        Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Nisus Australia’ ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and internal control related matters identified during our audit.

Nisus Australia Pty Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements
(Amounts in Australian dollars)

1.      General information and basis of presentation

Nisus Australia Pty Ltd is primarily engaged in the supply of mobile carriers, large multinational companies, government departments, defence, emergency services, small to medium-sized businesses and individuals with its breadth of hardware solutions enhancing the ability to communicate.

These financial statements have been prepared using International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business as they become due. The entity has prepared the financial statements on the basis that it will continue to operate as a going concern. This assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

The financial statements of Nisus Australia are presented in Australian dollars.

Going Concern

The management has assessed the company’s ability to continue as a going concern and has concluded that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. The assessment was based on the company’s current financial position, cash flow projections, and the availability of financial resources. The financial statements have accordingly been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the company will continue to operate for the foreseeable future.

Adoption of new and revised standards

Changes in accounting policies on initial application of Accounting Standards

Standards and interpretations applicable to June 30, 2023

In the year ended June 30, 2023, the management of the Company has reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the IFRS that are relevant to the Company’s operations and effective for the current financial reporting period.

It has been determined by the management that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change is necessary to the Company’s accounting policies.

Standards and interpretations on issue not yet effective and adopted

The management has also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the year ended June 30, 2023. As a result of this review, the management has determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued but not yet effective and adopted on its business and, therefore, no further disclosures have been made in this regard.

2.      Summary of significant accounting policies

The significant accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements.

Foreign Currency Translation

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into each entity’s functional currency as rates of exchange in effect at the statement of financial position date. Revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into each entity’s functional currency at rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Gains and losses resulting from translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency are included in the determination of income for the year.

(Amounts in Australian dollars)

2.      Summary of significant accounting policies (cont.)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, deposits held with banks and highly liquid short-term securities with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase.

Trade Receivables

Trade receivables are recognized initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional, unless they contain significant financing components when they are recognized at fair value.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price less cost to complete and applicable selling expenses.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairments. Costs include expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying value or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost can be measured reliably. The carrying value of a replaced asset is derecognized when replaced. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated from the point at which the asset is ready for use. Depreciation is computed using the methods and rates based on the estimated useful lives of the property, plant and equipment as outlined below:

Class of fixed assets

 

Depreciation rate (%)

 

Depreciation method

Plant and equipment

 

10 to 40

 

Diminishing value

Motor vehicles

 

10 to 40

 

Diminishing value

Leasehold improvements

 

2.5 to 25

 

Diminishing value

Low value pool

 

20 to 40

 

Diminishing value

Provisions

Provisions are liabilities of uncertain timing or amount. A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation for which the amount can be estimated reliably, and it is more likely than not that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are measured at management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation. When the effect of discounting is significant, the amount of the provision is determined by discounting the expected cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and any changes to estimates are reflected in the statement of operations.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current income tax and deferred income tax are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income (loss), in which case the current and/or deferred tax is also recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income (loss). Current income taxes is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years that are expected to be paid. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. The Company establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected

2.      Summary of significant accounting policies (cont.)

to be paid to the tax authorities. Deferred income tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by adjusting net income (loss) and weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period for the effects of dilutive potential shares, which includes any options granted.

Revenue recognition

The entity is in the business of providing ICT Consulting and personnel services. The revenue is based on the services provided. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The entity has generally concluded that it is the principal in its revenue arrangements, except for the procurement services below, because it typically controls the goods or services.

Revenue from sale of equipment’s is recognised at the point in time when control of the asset is transferred to the customer, generally on delivery of the equipment at the customer’s location. The normal credit term is 30 to 90 days upon delivery.

3.      Cash and cash equivalents

The cash and cash equivalents balance include cash in bank and cash on hand.

Independent Auditor’s Report

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the financial statements of Nisus Payroll Pty Limited, which comprise the Statements of financial position as at June 30, 2023 and 2022, and the related statements of profit or loss and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the statements of financial position of Nisus Payroll Pty Ltd at June 30, 2023 and 2022 and the related statements of profit or loss and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of Nisus Payroll Pty Ltd, and have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were most significant in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements, and in forming our opinion thereon and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

a)      Going Concern — Based on the audit evidence provided and accounting policies adopted by the management, the entity is considered as a going concern. There are no conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

b)      Revenue Recognition — Nisus Payroll derives revenue based on the payment to the contractors and payroll. The payments are then on charged to Nisus Australia Pty Ltd with a margin decided by the management. The financial statements prepared are reporting income and expenses on a cash basis of accounting. Both — Nisus Australia and Nisus Payroll are owned by the same group.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles (International Financial Reporting Standard) as issued by International Accounting Board, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Nisus Payroll’ ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

Nisus Payroll Pty Limited

Notes to the Financial Statements

(Amounts in Australian dollars)

1.      General information and basis of presentation

Nisus Payroll Pty Ltd is in the business of providing ICT Consulting and personnel services.

These financial statements have been prepared using International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business as they become due. The entity has prepared the financial statements on the basis that it will continue to operate as a going concern. This assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

The financial statements of Nisus Payroll are presented in Australian dollars.

Going Concern

The management has assessed the company’s ability to continue as a going concern and has concluded that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. The assessment was based on the company’s current financial position, cash flow projections, and the availability of financial resources. The financial statements have accordingly been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the company will continue to operate for the foreseeable future.

Adoption of new and revised standards

Changes in accounting policies on initial application of Accounting Standards

Standards and interpretations applicable to June 30, 2023

In the year ended June 30, 2023, the management of the Company has reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the IFRS that are relevant to the Company’s operations and effective for the current financial reporting period.

It has been determined by the management that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change is necessary to the Company’s accounting policies.

Standards and interpretations on issue not yet effective and adopted

The management has also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the year ended June 30, 2023. As a result of this review, the management has determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued but not yet effective and adopted on its business and, therefore, no further disclosures have been made in this regard.

2.      Summary of significant accounting policies

The significant accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements.

Foreign Currency Translation

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into each entity’s functional currency as rates of exchange in effect at the statement of financial position date. Revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into each entity’s functional currency at rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Gains and losses resulting from translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency are included in the determination of income for the year.

2.      Summary of significant accounting policies (cont.)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, deposits held with banks and highly liquid short-term securities with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase.

Trade Receivables

Trade receivables are recognized initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional, unless they contain significant financing components when they are recognized at fair value.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price less cost to complete and applicable selling expenses.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairments. Costs include expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying value or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost can be measured reliably. The carrying value of a replaced asset is derecognized when replaced. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated from the point at which the asset is ready for use. Depreciation is computed using the methods and rates based on the estimated useful lives of the property, plant and equipment as outlined below:

Class of fixed assets

10 to 40

Provisions

Provisions are liabilities of uncertain timing or amount. A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation for which the amount can be estimated reliably, and it is more likely than not that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are measured at management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation. When the effect of discounting is significant, the amount of the provision is determined by discounting the expected cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and any changes to estimates are reflected in the statement of operations.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current income tax and deferred income tax are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income (loss), in which case the current and/or deferred tax is also recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income (loss). Current income taxes is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting

date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years that are expected to be paid. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. The Company establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. Deferred income tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by adjusting net income (loss) and weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period for the effects of dilutive potential shares, which includes any options granted.

Revenue recognition

The entity derives revenue based on the payment to the contractors and payroll. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The entity has generally concluded that it is the principal in its revenue arrangements, except for the procurement services below, because it typically controls the goods or services.

Revenue from sale of equipment’s is recognised at the point in time when control of the asset is transferred to the customer, generally on delivery of the equipment at the customer’s location. The normal credit term is 30 to 90 days upon delivery.

3.      Cash and cash equivalents

The cash and cash equivalents balance include cash in bank and cash on hand.

Table of Contents

2.03  Effect of the Initial Merger. At the Initial Merger Effective Time, the effect of the Initial Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the Plan of Merger and the applicable provisions of the Cayman Companies Act. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Initial Merger Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, liabilities, duties and obligations of Acquiror shall become the property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, liabilities, duties and obligations of PubCo, which shall include the assumption by PubCo of any and all agreements, covenants, duties and obligations of Acquiror set forth in this Agreement to be performed after the Initial Merger Effective Time, and all securities of PubCo issued and outstanding as a result of the conversion under Section 2.07 hereof shall be listed on the public trading market on which the Acquiror securities may be trading at such time.

2.04  Memorandum and Articles of Association. Effective at the Initial Merger Effective Time, the memorandum and articles of association of PubCo shall be amended and restated in its entirety in a form to be agreed by the Parties and shall be thereafter amended in accordance with its terms, the Governing Documents of PubCo and as provided by Applicable Law.

2.05  Directors and Officers of PubCo. The Parties shall take all actions necessary or appropriate (including securing resignations or removals and making such appointments as are necessary) to cause, effective as of the Closing, the PubCo Board to consist of a total of five directors; all determined by the Company which include a sufficient number of independent directors meeting the listing requirements of Nasdaq.

(a) Conversion of Acquiror Ordinary Shares. At the Initial Merger Effective Time, every Acquiror Ordinary Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time shall be converted automatically into one PubCo Ordinary Share. Such conversion will take effect as a redemption of Acquiror Ordinary Shares and an issuance of PubCo Ordinary Shares. At the Initial Merger Effective Time, all Acquiror Ordinary Shares shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be converted or canceled (as the case may be) and shall cease to exist. The holders of certificates previously evidencing Acquiror Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Acquiror Ordinary Shares, except as provided herein or by Applicable Law. Each certificate previously evidencing Acquiror Ordinary Shares shall be exchanged for a certificate representing the same number of PubCo Ordinary Shares upon the surrender of such certificate in accordance with Section 2.08.

(b) Acquiror Units. Immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time, each issued and outstanding Acquiror Unit shall separate into its individual components of one Acquiror Ordinary Share and one-half of one Acquiror Warrant and all Acquiror Units shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled. Each individually-separated component shall, at the Initial Merger Effective Time, be converted into one PubCo Ordinary Share and one-half of one PubCo Warrant; provided that no fractional warrants will be issued. The holders of certificates previously evidencing Acquiror Units outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Acquiror Units, except as provided herein or by Applicable Law.

(c) Acquiror Warrants. At the Initial Merger Effective Time, every issued and outstanding Acquiror Warrant immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time shall be converted automatically into one PubCo Warrant. The certificates previously evidencing Acquiror Warrants outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time shall represent an equal number of PubCo Warrants after the Initial Merger Effective time.

(d) Cancellation of Acquiror Ordinary Shares Owned by Acquiror. At the Initial Merger Effective Time, if there are any Acquiror Ordinary Shares that are owned by the Acquiror as treasury shares or any Acquiror Ordinary Shares owned by any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Acquiror immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time, such shares shall be surrendered without any payment therefor.

(e) Cancellation of PubCo Ordinary Shares Owned by Acquiror. At the Initial Merger Effective Time, every issued and outstanding share(s) of PubCo owned by Acquiror, being the only issued and outstanding share(s) in PubCo immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time, shall be canceled without any conversion thereof or payment therefor.

Annex A-14

(f) Transfers of Ownership. If any securities of PubCo are to be issued in a name other than that in which the certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it will be a condition of the issuance thereof that the certificate so surrendered will be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such exchange will have paid to PubCo or any agent designated by it any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of securities of PubCo in any name other than that of the registered holder of the certificate surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of PubCo or any agent designated by it that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(g) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.07, none of the Parties shall be liable to any person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

2.08  Surrender of Securities. All PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants issued upon the surrender of Acquiror Securities in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Acquiror Securities, provided that any restrictions on the sale and transfer of Acquiror Ordinary Shares and Acquiror Warrants shall also apply to the PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants so issued in exchange.

2.09  Lost Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any certificates of Acquiror Securities shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, PubCo shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof; provided, however, that PubCo may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against PubCo with respect to the certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

2.10  Reorganization Intended Tax Treatment. For U.S. Federal income tax purposes, the Initial Merger is intended to constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (the “Reorganization Intended Tax Treatment”). Acquiror and PubCo hereby adopt, and the Company acknowledges, this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Section 1.368-2(g) of the United States Treasury Regulations. Acquiror and PubCo agree to file and retain such information as shall be required under Section 1.368-3 of the United States Treasury Regulations. The Parties hereby agree to file all Tax and other informational returns on a basis consistent with the Reorganization Intended Tax Treatment, unless otherwise required by a final determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any similar state, local or non-U.S. final determination) or a change in applicable Law, or based on a change in the facts and circumstances underlying the Transactions from the terms described in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Parties acknowledge and agree that no Party is making any representation or warranty as to the qualification of the Initial Merger for the Reorganization Intended Tax Treatment or as to the effect, if any, that any transaction consummated on, after or prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time has or may have on any such reorganization status. Each of the Parties acknowledge and agree that each (a) has had the opportunity to obtain independent legal and tax advice with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (b) is responsible for paying its own Taxes, including any adverse Tax consequences that may result if the Initial Merger is determined not to qualify for the Reorganization Intended Tax Treatment.

2.11  Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Initial Merger Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest PubCo with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Acquiror, the officers and directors of Acquiror and PubCo are fully authorized in the name of their respective companies or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

2.12  Agreement of Fair Value. Acquiror, PubCo and the Company respectively agree that the consideration payable for the Acquiror Securities represents the fair value of such Acquiror Securities for the purposes of Applicable Law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no fraction of a PubCo Ordinary Share will be issued by PubCo by virtue of this Agreement or the Transactions, and each Person who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a PubCo Ordinary Share (after aggregating all fractional PubCo Ordinary Shares that would otherwise be received by such Person) shall instead have the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares issued to such Person rounded down in the aggregate to the nearest whole PubCo Ordinary Share.

3.04  Equitable Adjustments. If, between the date of this Agreement and the Initial Merger Effective Time, the outstanding Acquiror Ordinary Shares shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock or share dividend, subdivision, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar event shall have occurred, or if there shall have been any breach of Section 6.14(a) of this Agreement by Acquiror with respect to the number of its issued and outstanding Acquiror Ordinary Shares (or any other issued and outstanding equity security interests in Acquiror) or rights to acquire Acquiror Ordinary Shares (or any other equity security interests in Acquiror), then any number, value (including dollar value) or amount contained herein which is based upon the number of Company Shares or Acquiror Ordinary Shares (or any other equity security interests in Acquiror), as applicable, will be appropriately adjusted to provide to the holders of Company Shares or the holders of Acquiror Ordinary Shares, as applicable, the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided, however, that this Section 3.04 shall not be construed to permit Acquiror or the Company to take any action with respect to their respective securities that is prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

3.05  Delivery of Consideration.

(a) At least five (5) Business Days prior to the target Closing Date agreed between the Parties, Acquiror and PubCo shall provide to the Company, who shall cause to be delivered to each Company Shareholder at the address provided to Acquiror and PubCo by the Company, a letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), which shall (i) have customary representations and warranties as to title, authorization, execution and delivery, (ii) have a customary release of all claims against PubCo and the Company arising out of or related to such holder’s ownership of Company Shares, and (iii) specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Company Shares shall pass, only upon delivery of the Company Shares to PubCo (including all certificates representing Company Shares to the extent such Company Shares are certificated), together with instructions thereto.

3.06  Lost Securities. In the event any Company Security has been lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, upon the delivery of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Company Security to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by PubCo, the provision by such Person of a customary indemnity against any claim that may be made against Acquiror with respect to such Company Security, PubCo shall issue or pay in exchange for such lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Company Security the consideration issuable or payable in respect thereof as determined in accordance with this Section 3.06.

To the extent that Acquiror, PubCo, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates withholds such amounts with respect to any Person and properly remits such withheld amounts to the applicable Governmental Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated as having been paid to or on behalf of such Person for all purposes of this Agreement.

Board of Directors

Suite 302

United States

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Northern Revival Acquisition Corporation, a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Acquiror”), has engaged Trafalgar Advisors LLC (“Trafalgar”), to serve as independent financial advisor to the special committee (the “Special Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) of the Acquiror (solely in their capacity as members of the Board of Directors) specifically to provide an opinion (the “Opinion”) as of the date hereof as to the fairness, from a financial point of view to the Acquiror of the consideration to be paid by the Acquiror in the contemplated transaction described below (the “Proposed Transaction”). The Committee has requested that Trafalgar address and deliver the Opinion to the Board of Directors.

Scope of Analysis

Trafalgar Advisors, as part of its investment banking business, is continually engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions and valuations for corporate and other purposes.

On September 25, 2023, Northern Revival Acquisition Corporation (NRAC) retained Trafalgar Advisors to serve as an independent financial advisor to the Board of Directors, specifically to provide to the NRAC Board a fairness opinion in connection with the Business Combination.

In connection with the Opinion, Trafalgar Advisors made such reviews, analyses and inquiries that Trafalgar Advisors deemed necessary and appropriate under the circumstances to enable Trafalgar Advisors to render the Opinion.

Trafalgar Advisors also took into account its assessment of general economic, market and financial conditions, as well as its experience in securities and business valuation, in general, and with respect to similar transactions, in particular. Trafalgar Advisors’ procedures, investigations, and financial analysis with respect to the preparation of the Opinion included, but were not limited to, the items summarized below:

1.      Reviewed the following documents:

a.      NRAC’s audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022 included in NRAC’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which NRAC’s management identified as being the most current financial statements available;

b.      Braiin’s unaudited internally prepared financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2023, which at such time of the review, Braiin’s management identified as being the most current financial statement available;

c.      Other internal documents related to the history, current operations, and probable future outlook of Braiin, including financial projections of Braiin for the years 2024 through 2026, prepared by the management of Braiin;

d.      NRAC’s Form S-1 registration statement dated January 22, 2021.

Annex C-1

Table of Contents

Board of Directors
Northern Revival Acquisition Corporation
4001 Kennett Pike
Suite 302
Wilmington, NC
United States

2.      Discussed the information referred to above and the background and other elements of the Business Combination with the management of NRAC, and Braiin;

3.      Reviewed the historical trading price and trading volume of the publicly traded securities of certain companies that Trafalgar Advisors deemed relevant;

4.      Performed certain valuation and comparative analyses using generally accepted valuation and analytical techniques including a discounted cash flow analysis, and analysis of selected public companies that Trafalgar Advisors deemed relevant, and an analysis of selected transactions that Trafalgar Advisors deemed relevant; and

5.      Conducted such other analyses and considered such other factors as Trafalgar Advisors deemed appropriate.

Assumptions, Qualifications and Limiting Conditions

In performing its analyses and rendering the Opinion with respect to the Business Combination, Trafalgar Advisors, with NRAC’s consent:

1.      Relied upon the accuracy, completeness, and fair presentation of all information, data, advice, opinions and representations obtained from public sources or provided to it from private sources, including NRAC and Braiin management, and did not independently verify such information;

2.      Relied upon the fact that the NRAC Board and Braiin have been advised by counsel as to all legal matters with respect to the Business Combination, including whether all procedures required by law to be taken in connection with the Business Combination have been duly, validly and timely taken;

3.      Assumed that any estimates, evaluations, forecasts and the Braiin Management Projections furnished to Trafalgar Advisors were reasonably prepared and based upon the best currently available information and good faith judgment of the person furnishing the same, and Trafalgar Advisors expresses no opinion with respect to such projections or the underlying assumptions;

4.      Assumed that information supplied and representations made by NRAC and Braiin management are substantially accurate regarding Braiin and the Business Combination;

5.      Assumed that the final versions of all documents reviewed by Trafalgar Advisors in draft form conform in all material respects to the drafts reviewed;

6.      Assumed that there has been no material change in the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, or prospects of NRAC or Braiin since the date of the most recent financial statements and other information made available to Trafalgar Advisors, and that there is no information or facts that would make the information reviewed by Trafalgar Advisors incomplete or misleading;

7.      Assumed that all governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the Business Combination will be obtained without any adverse effect on NRAC or Braiin.

To the extent that any of the foregoing assumptions or any of the facts on which the Opinion is based prove to be untrue in any material respect, Trafalgar Advisors is informing the NRAC Board the Opinion cannot and should not be relied upon. Furthermore, in Trafalgar Advisors’ analysis and in connection with the preparation of the Opinion, Trafalgar Advisors has made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, market and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of any party involved in the Business Combination.

Trafalgar Advisors prepared the Opinion effective as of September 26, 2023. The Opinion is necessarily based upon market, economic, financial and other conditions as they exist and can be evaluated as of such date, and Trafalgar Advisors disclaims any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting the Opinion which may come or be brought to the attention of Trafalgar Advisors after such date.

Trafalgar Advisors did not evaluate NRAC’s or Braiin’s solvency or conduct an independent appraisal or physical inspection of any specific assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise). Trafalgar Advisors was not requested to, and did not, (i) initiate any discussions with, or solicit any indications of interest from, third parties with respect to the Business Combination, the assets, businesses or operations of NRAC or Braiin, or any alternatives to the Business Combination, (ii) negotiate the terms of the Merger Agreement, or (iii) advise the NRAC Board or any other party with respect to alternatives to the Business Combination.

Trafalgar Advisors is not expressing any opinion as to the market price or value of NRAC’s ordinary shares (or anything else) after the announcement or the consummation of the Business Combination. The Opinion should not be construed as a valuation opinion, credit rating, solvency opinion, an analysis of NRAC’s or Braiin’s credit worthiness, as tax advice, or as accounting advice. Trafalgar Advisors did not make, and assumes no responsibility to make, any representation, or render any opinion, as to any legal matter.

In rendering the Opinion, Trafalgar Advisors is not expressing any opinion with respect to the amount or nature of any compensation to any of NRAC’s or Braiin’s officers, directors, or employees, or any class of such persons, relative to the Aggregate Merger Consideration to be paid by NRAC in the Business Combination, or with respect to the fairness of any such compensation.

This Opinion is furnished for the use and benefit of the Board of Directors in connection with their consideration of the Proposed Transaction and is not intended to, and does not, confer any rights or remedies upon any other person, and is not intended to be used, and may not be used, by any other person or for any other purpose, without Trafalgar Advisors’ express consent. This Opinion (i) does not address the merits of the underlying business decision to enter into the Proposed Transaction versus any alternative strategy or transaction; (ii) does not address any transaction related to the Proposed Transaction; (iii) is not a recommendation as to how the Board of Directors or any stockholder should vote or act with respect to any matters relating to the Proposed Transaction, or whether to proceed with the Proposed Transaction or any related transaction, and (iv) does not indicate that the consideration paid is the best possibly attainable under any circumstances; instead, it merely states whether the consideration in the Proposed Transaction is within a range suggested by certain financial analyses. The decision as to whether to proceed with the Proposed Transaction or any related transaction may depend on an assessment of factors unrelated to the financial analysis on which this Opinion is based. This letter should not be construed as creating any fiduciary duty on the part of Trafalgar Advisors to any party.

This Opinion is solely that of Trafalgar Advisors, and Trafalgar Advisors’ liability in connection with this letter shall be limited in accordance with the terms set forth in the engagement letter between Trafalgar Advisors and the Acquiror dated September 25, 2023 (the “Engagement Letter”).

Fees and Expenses

As compensation for Trafalgar Advisors’ services in connection with the rendering of the Opinion to the NRAC Board, the Board of Directors agreed to pay Trafalgar Advisors a professional fee of $85,000. A portion of the fee was payable upon delivery. Of this fee, $10,000 is to be paid when Trafalgar Advisors delivers the Opinion, and the remaining $75,000 is payable upon the closing of the Business Combination.

No portion of Trafalgar Advisors’ fee is refundable or contingent upon the conclusion reached in the Opinion.

The Board of Directors has also agreed to indemnify Trafalgar Advisors for certain liabilities arising out of its engagement.

Disclosure of Prior Relationships

During the two years preceding the date of the Opinion, Trafalgar Advisors has not had any material relationship with any party to the Business Combination for which compensation has been received or is intended to be received, nor is any such material relationship or related compensation mutually understood to be contemplated. Trafalgar Advisors did not act as an underwriter in the initial public offering of NRAC.

Conclusion

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, Trafalgar Advisors is of the opinion that as of the date hereof the consideration to be paid by the Acquiror in the Proposed Transaction is fair from a financial point of view to the Acquiror.

Respectfully submitted,

   

 

   

Trafalgar Advisors

   

Annex C-4

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS

Item 20.     Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of directors and officers, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against willful default, willful neglect, civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. The Proposed PubCo Charter will provide for indemnification of our directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by law, including for any liability incurred in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud, willful default or willful neglect.

PubCo intends to enter into agreements with our directors and officers to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided for in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. We may purchase a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our directors and officers against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our directors and officers.

We believe that these provisions, the insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced directors and officers.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 22.     Undertakings.

(1)    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(a)     To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i)     To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii)    To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii)   To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

(b)    That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c)     To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(d)    That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(e)     That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a

II-2

Table of Contents

primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i)     Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii)    Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii)   The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv)   Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(2)    The registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.

(3)    The undersigned registrant undertakes that every prospectus: (i) that is filed pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(4)    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(5)    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

(6)    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
