PRELIMINARY — SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED JUNE 14, 2024

PROXY STATEMENT FOR EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS OF

AIB ACQUISITION CORPORATION
AND
PROSPECTUS FOR UP TO 25,711,650 ORDINARY SHARES
OF
PS INTERNATIONAL GROUP LTD.

The board of directors of AIB Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“AIB”), has unanimously approved the business combination agreement, dated as of December 27, 2023 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among AIB, PSI Group Holdings Ltd 利航國際控股有限公司, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“PSI”), PS International Group Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Pubco”), AIB LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), PSI Merger Sub I Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“PSI Merger Sub I”), and PSI Merger Sub II Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“PSI Merger Sub II”), and the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (collectively, the “Business Combination”).

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, at the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), (a) PSI Merger Sub I will merge with and into PSI (the “First Merger”), with PSI surviving the First Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Pubco and the outstanding shares of PSI being converted into the right to receive ordinary shares of the Pubco (“Pubco Ordinary Shares”), and (b) one business day following the First Merger, PSI Merger Sub II will merge with and into AIB (the “Second Merger”, and together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with AIB surviving the Second Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Pubco and the outstanding securities of AIB being converted into the right to receive substantially equivalent securities of the Pubco.

Under the Business Combination Agreement, the total consideration to be received by shareholders of PSI at the Closing will be newly issued Pubco Ordinary Shares, with each share valued at $10.00, and with an aggregate value equal to $200,000,000, subject to adjustments for PSI’s Net Working Capital, Closing Debt and Transaction Expenses (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement attached as Annex A).

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, Pubco will be an “emerging growth company” as that term is used in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended, and, as such, may elect to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements in future reports after the consummation of the Business Combination.

Pubco will also be a “foreign private issuer” as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 will not be required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act.

PSI is a Cayman Islands holding company with operations conducted by its operating subsidiaries based in Hong Kong, namely Profit Sail Int’l Express (H.K.) Limited and Business Great Global Supply Chain Limited (collectively, the “Operating Subsidiaries” and each, an “Operating Subsidiary”). Following the Closing, PSI will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco, another Cayman Islands holding company; as a result, holders of Pubco Ordinary Shares are not holding equity securities of the Operating Subsidiaries, but instead are holding equity securities of a Cayman Islands holding company. This structure involves unique risks to investors. For further discussions of these risks, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in the Jurisdictions in Which PSI’s Operating Subsidiaries Operate” and “Risk Factors — Risk Related to PSI’s Corporate Structure.”

Table of Contents

being able to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business, there are no restrictions or limitations under the laws of Cayman Islands on the payment of dividends by PSI to its shareholders. There are also no restrictions or limitations under the laws of the BVI on the distribution of earnings from a subsidiary to the parent company or investors, so long as the value of the assets of the BVI subsidiary declaring the dividends will exceed its liabilities and the BVI subsidiary will be able to pay its debts as they fall due. Similarly, there are no restrictions or limitations under the laws of Hong Kong on the distribution of the available profits from a Hong Kong subsidiary to the parent company or investors. In addition, dividend payments are not subject to withholding tax in Cayman Islands, BVI or Hong Kong. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the ability of the Operating Subsidiaries to pay dividends to PSI (or Pubco following the Business Combination) may be restricted by the debt they incur on their own behalf. For further details, see “Risk Factors — Risk Related to PSI’s Corporate Structure — We rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by the Operating Subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, and any limitation on the ability of the Operating Subsidiaries to make payments to us could have a material adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business.”

All of PSI’s operations are located in Hong Kong. Laws and regulations in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) in general are not applicable or enforceable in Hong Kong. However, due to the potential long arm application of these laws and regulations, PSI may face various legal and operational risks associated with its operations in Hong Kong. The PRC government may exercise significant direct oversight and discretion over the conduct of PSI’s business and may intervene or influence its operations, which could result in a material change in PSI’s operations, its ability to operate profitably, and/or the value of PSI’s ordinary shares (or Pubco Ordinary Shares following the closing of the Business Combination). Furthermore, changes in policies, rules, regulations, and enforcement of laws of the PRC may occur with little notice. PSI may be subject to complex and evolving laws and regulations in China, and it is unclear as to whether and to what extent the recent PRC government statements and regulatory developments (such as those relating to the use of variable interest entities, data and cyberspace security, and anti-monopoly concerns) would apply to companies like the Operating Subsidiaries and PSI, whose operations are all located in Hong Kong. In addition, the Chinese government may exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in PRC-based issuers, and there is no guarantee that such oversight and control will not be extended to Hong Kong in the future. The Chinese government has also initiated various regulatory actions and made various public statements, some of which are published with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. These recently enacted measures, and additional pending or future new measures which may be implemented, could materially and adversely affect PSI’s operations. Furthermore, the Chinese government has significant authority to exert influence on the ability of a China-based company to conduct its business, make or accept foreign investments or list on a U.S. stock exchange. The PRC government may also intervene with or influence PSI’s operations at any time as the government deems appropriate to further regulatory, political and societal goals. These risks could result in a material change in PSI’s operations, and/or the value of the securities of PSI (or Pubco following the closing of the Business Combination) or could significantly limit or completely hinder PSI’s (or Pubco’s) ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.

Furthermore, as more stringent criteria have been imposed by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) recently, and in particular the SEC’s adoption of amendments to finalize rules implementing the submission and disclosure requirements in the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (“HFCAA”) on December 2, 2021, Pubco’s securities may be prohibited from trading if PSI’s auditor (who will become Pubco’s auditors following the consummation of the Business Combination) cannot be fully inspected. A termination in the trading of Pubco’s securities or any restriction on the trading in Pubco’s securities would be expected to have a negative impact on Pubco as well as on the value of its securities. On August 26, 2022, the PCAOB announced that it had signed a Statement of Protocol (the “SOP”) with the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”) and the Ministry of Finance of China. The SOP, together with two protocol agreements governing inspections and investigations (together, the “SOP Agreement”), establishes a specific, accountable framework to make possible complete inspections and investigations by the PCAOB of audit firms based in mainland China (“Mainland China”) and Hong Kong, as required under U.S. law. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB announced that it was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in Mainland China and Hong Kong. The PCAOB vacated its previous 2021 determinations that the PCAOB was unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in Mainland China and Hong Kong. However, should PRC authorities obstruct or otherwise fail to facilitate the PCAOB’s access in the future, the PCAOB will consider the need to issue a new determination. On December 29, 2022, the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies

Table of Contents

Accountable Act (the “AHFCAA”) was signed into law, which amended the HFCAA by requiring the SEC to prohibit an issuer’s securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchange if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three.

WWC, P.C., the independent registered public accounting firm of PSI, is headquartered in California. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, WWC, P.C. is not subject to the determinations as to inability to inspect or investigate registered firms completely announced by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021. While PSI’s auditor is based in the U.S. and is registered with PCAOB and subject to PCAOB inspection, in the event it is later determined that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely PSI’s auditor because of a position taken by an authority in a foreign jurisdiction, then such lack of inspection could cause trading in Pubco’s securities to be prohibited under the HFCAA, and ultimately result in a determination by a securities exchange to delist the Pubco’s securities.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, Mr. Yee Kit Chan, the chairman of the board of directors of Pubco, will, assuming a no redemption scenario, control approximately 61.6% of the voting power of outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares (or 64.1% assuming a maximum redemption scenario), without taking into account of potential source of dilution. As a result, Pubco will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of applicable Nasdaq listing rules. See “Management of Pubco Following the Business Combination — Controlled Company Status” for further information.

This proxy statement/prospectus provides you with detailed information about the Business Combination and other matters to be considered at the extraordinary general meeting of holders of ordinary shares of AIB (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”). We encourage you to carefully read this entire document. You should, in particular, carefully consider the risk factors described in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 49 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

The board of directors of AIB (the “AIB Board”) has unanimously approved and adopted the Business Combination Agreement and unanimously recommends that the AIB shareholders vote “FOR” all of the proposals presented to the shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting. When you consider the AIB Board’s recommendation of these proposals, you should keep in mind that AIB’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder.

NEITHER THE SEC NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES REGULATORY AGENCY HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED THE TRANSACTIONS DESCRIBED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS OR ANY OF THE SECURITIES TO BE ISSUED IN THE BUSINESS COMBINATION, PASSED UPON THE MERITS OR FAIRNESS OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION OR RELATED TRANSACTIONS OR PASSED UPON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THE DISCLOSURE IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY CONSTITUTES A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

This proxy statement/prospectus is dated [ ], 2024, and is first being mailed to AIB shareholders on or about [ ], 2024.

875 Third Avenue, Suite M204A

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF AIB ACQUISITION CORPORATION:

You are cordially invited to attend the extraordinary general meeting (the “Meeting”) of AIB Acquisition Corporation (“AIB”), which will be held at [ ] a.m., Eastern Time, on [ ], 2024. For the purposes of AIB’s Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, as amended, the physical place of the Meeting will be at the office of [AIB at 875 Third Avenue, Suite M204A, New York, NY 10022]. The Meeting will also be conducted via live webcast. You or your proxyholder will be able to attend and vote at the Meeting by visiting [ ] and using a control number assigned by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”). To register and receive access to the virtual meeting, registered shareholders and beneficial shareholders (those holding shares through a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other holder of record) will need to follow the instructions applicable to them provided in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

On December 27, 2023, AIB entered into a Business Combination Agreement with AIB LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, in the capacity as the representative of AIB and the shareholders of AIB immediately prior to the Second Merger (as defined below) (the “AIB Representative”), PS International Group Ltd., an exempted company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands (“Pubco”), PSI Merger Sub I Limited, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“PSI Merger Sub I”), PSI Merger Sub II Limited, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“PSI Merger Sub II”), and PSI Group Holdings Ltd (利航國際控股有限公司), an exempted company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands (“PSI”) (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Closing”), (a) the PSI Merger Sub I will merge with and into PSI (the “First Merger”), with PSI surviving the First Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco and the outstanding shares of PSI being converted into the right to receive ordinary shares of Pubco (“Pubco Ordinary Shares”); and (b) one business day following the First Merger, the PSI Merger Sub II will merge with and into AIB (the “Second Merger,” and together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with AIB surviving the Second Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco and the outstanding securities of AIB being converted into the right to receive substantially equivalent securities of Pubco (the Mergers together with the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and other ancillary documents, the “Business Combination”). You are being asked to vote on the Business Combination.

As a result of the Mergers, (a) each of the ordinary shares of PSI that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger will be cancelled and converted into (i) the right to receive 90% of such number of Pubco Ordinary Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), and (ii) the contingent right to receive 10% of such number of Pubco Ordinary Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement and the escrow agreement entered into by Pubco, the AIB Representative, and Continental (or such other escrow agent mutually acceptable by AIB and PSI). Each AIB ordinary share that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Merger shall be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive one Pubco Ordinary Share. Each issued and outstanding right of AIB (“AIB Right”) shall be automatically converted into one-tenth of one Pubco Ordinary Share, provided that Pubco will not issue fractional shares in exchange for the AIB Rights.

At a hearing on February 22, 2024, AIB presented a compliance plan before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), to assess and appeal AIB’s noncompliance with the following listing requirements: (i) its Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) was below the $50 million minimum requirement for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) (the “MVLS Requirement”), and (ii) public holders of AIB Class A ordinary shares (such shares, “AIB Class A Ordinary Shares,” such holders, “Public Holders”) were below the 400 Public Holders minimum requirement for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Global Market pursuant

Table of Contents

to the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2) (the “Public Holders Requirement”). On March 14, 2024, the Panel issued its decision, which granted AIB’s request for continued listing until May 20, 2024, subject to certain conditions, including that (i) on or before May 1, 2024, AIB shall advise the Panel on the status of the SEC review of the Form F-4, (ii) on or before May 15, 2024, AIB shall hold a shareholder meeting and obtain approval for completion of its initial business combination, and (iii) on or before May 20, 2024, AIB shall close its initial business combination and the new entity shall demonstrate compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5505. On May 1, 2024, AIB notified the Panel that it would not close an initial business combination by the Panel’s May 20, 2024 deadline. On May 7, 2024, AIB received a written notice from the Panel indicating that the Panel had decided to delist AIB’s securities from Nasdaq, and trading of AIB securities would be suspended at the open of trading on May 9, 2024, due to AIB’s failure to comply with the terms of the Panel’s decision issued on March 14, 2024 (the “Trading Suspension”). Despite this decision, a formal delisting would not take effect until all applicable Nasdaq review and appeal periods have expired and Nasdaq files a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 on Form 25 with the SEC (the “Form 25”) after the applicable Nasdaq review and appeal periods have lapsed and/or upon the closing of AIB’s initial Business Combination. AIB did not appeal the Panel’s decision to the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council (the “Council”), and, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, AIB has not received notice from the Council of any review of the Panel’s decision, and the Trading Suspension is still in place. There can be no assurance that the Trading Suspension will be lifted prior to the Closing. Further, although the parties intend to complete the Business Combination before a Form 25 is filed, it is uncertain if Pubco will be able to meet Nasdaq’s initial listing requirements to list its securities on Nasdaq, which is a condition to the Closing. While such condition can be waived mutually by the parties to the Business Combination Agreement, PSI does not intend to waive such condition.

AIB Units (“AIB Units”), AIB Class A Ordinary Shares and AIB Rights were traded on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbols “AIBBU,” “AIB” and “AIBBR,” respectively. However, as described above, each of these securities is subject to the Trading Suspension. On May 8, 2024, the last day of trading prior to the Trading Suspension, the closing sale prices of AIB Units, AIB Class A Ordinary Shares and AIB Rights were $12.50, $11.73 and $0.10, respectively. Since the Trading Suspension, AIB Units, AIB Class A Ordinary Shares and AIB Rights have been eligible to trade on the OTC Markets under the tickers “ACCUF,” “AIBAF” and “AACRF,” respectively. As of May 22, 2024, the closing sales prices of AIB Units, AIB Class A Ordinary Shares and AIB Rights were $10.01, $11.53 and $0.14, respectively. Pubco intends to apply for the listing, to be effective upon the Closing, of its Pubco Ordinary Shares on The Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol “PSIG.”

Holders of record of AIB Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 per share, and AIB Class B ordinary shares (“AIB Class B Ordinary Shares”), par value $0.0001 per share, at the close of business on [ ], 2024, are entitled to notice of the Meeting and the right to vote and have their votes counted at the Meeting and any adjournments of the Meeting.

AIB urges its shareholders to carefully read this entire document and the documents incorporated herein by reference. AIB shareholders should also carefully consider the risk factors described in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 49 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

At a hearing on February 22, 2024, AIB presented a compliance plan before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), to address and appeal AIB’s noncompliance with the following listing requirements: (i) its Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) was below the $50 million minimum requirement for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) (the “MVLS Requirement”), and (ii) public holders of AIB Class A Ordinary Shares (“Public Holders”) were below the 400 Public Holders minimum requirement for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2) (the “Public Holders Requirement”). On March 14, 2024, the Panel issued its decision, which granted AIB’s request for continued listing until May 20, 2024, subject to certain conditions, including that (i) on or before May 1, 2024, AIB shall advise the Panel on the status of the SEC review of the Form F-4, (ii) on or before May 15, 2024, AIB shall hold a shareholder meeting and obtain approval for completion of its initial business combination, and (iii) on or before May 20, 2024, AIB shall close its initial business combination and the new entity shall demonstrate compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5505. On May 1, 2024, AIB notified the Panel that it would not close an initial business combination by the Panel’s May 20, 2024 deadline. On May 7, 2024, AIB received a written notice from the Panel indicating that the Panel had decided to delist AIB’s securities from Nasdaq, and trading of AIB securities would be suspended at the open of trading on May 9, 2024, due to AIB’s failure to comply with the terms of the Panel’s decision issued on March 14, 2024 (the “Trading Suspension”). Despite this decision, a formal delisting would not take effect until all applicable Nasdaq review and appeal periods have expired and Nasdaq files a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 on Form 25 with the SEC (the “Form 25”) after the applicable Nasdaq review and appeal periods have lapsed and/or upon the Closing. AIB did not appeal the Panel’s decision to the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council (the “Council”), and, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, AIB has not received notice from the Council of any review of the Panel’s decision, and the Trading Suspension is still in place. There can be no assurance that the Trading Suspension will be lifted prior to the Closing. Further, although the parties intend to complete the Business Combination before a Form 25 is filed, it is uncertain if Pubco will be able to meet Nasdaq’s initial listing requirements to list its securities on Nasdaq, which is a condition to the Closing. While such condition can be waived mutually by the parties to the Business Combination Agreement, PSI does not intend to waive such condition.

AIB Units, AIB Class A Ordinary Shares and AIB Rights were traded on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbols “AIBBU,” “AIB” and “AIBBR,” respectively. However, as described above, each of these securities is subject to the Trading Suspension. On May 8, 2024, the last day of trading prior to the Trading Suspension, the closing sale prices of AIB Units, AIB Class A Ordinary Shares and AIB Rights were $12.50, $11.73 and $0.10, respectively. Since the Trading Suspension, AIB Units, AIB Class A Ordinary Shares and AIB Rights have been eligible to trade on the OTC Markets under the tickers “ACCUF,” “AIBAF” and “AACRF,” respectively. As of May 22, 2024, the closing sales prices of AIB Units, AIB Class A Ordinary Shares and AIB Rights were $10.01, $11.53 and $0.14, respectively. Pubco intends to apply for the listing, to be effective upon the Closing, of its ordinary shares on The Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol “PSIG.”

Pursuant to AIB’s Current Charter, a public shareholder of AIB holding the AIB Class A Ordinary Shares included in the AIB Units issued in the IPO (an “AIB Public Shareholder”) may request that AIB redeem all or a portion of AIB Class A Ordinary Shares sold as part of the units in AIB’s initial public offering (“Public Shares”) for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. Holders of Public Shares will be entitled to receive cash for their Public Shares to be redeemed only if they:

• hold Public Shares; and

• prior to [ ], Eastern Time, on [ ], 2024 (two business days prior to the vote at the Meeting), submit a written request to AIB’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Transfer Agent”) that AIB redeem the applicable Public Shares for cash and deliver share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms to the Transfer Agent, physically or electronically through The Depository Trust Company.

AIB Public Shareholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares regardless of whether they vote affirmatively for or against the Business Combination Proposal, or do not vote at all, provided that any beneficial holder of Public Shares on whose behalf a redemption right is being exercised must identify itself to AIB in connection with any redemption election in order to validly redeem such Public Shares. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the Public Shares will not be redeemed for cash. If a public shareholder properly exercises its right to redeem its Public Shares and timely delivers its share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms to the Transfer Agent, AIB will redeem each Public Share for a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account established in connection with AIB’s initial public offering (“Trust Account”) calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then-issued and outstanding Public Shares. As of [ ], 2024, this would have amounted to approximately $[ ] per Public Share. If an AIB Public Shareholder exercises its redemption rights, then such shareholder will be exchanging its redeemed Public Shares for cash and will no longer own such shares. Any request to redeem Public Shares, once made, may not be withdrawn once submitted to AIB unless the AIB Board determines (in its sole discretion) to permit the withdrawal of such redemption request (which it may do in whole or in part). An AIB Public Shareholder can make such request by contacting the Transfer Agent at the address or email address listed in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. AIB will be required to honor such request only if made prior to the deadline for exercising redemption requests. See “Extraordinary General Meeting of AIB Shareholders — Redemption Rights” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if an AIB Public Shareholder wishes to redeem its Public Shares for cash.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of Public Shares, together with any affiliate of such public shareholder or any other person with whom such public shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), will be restricted from redeeming its Public Shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares. Accordingly, if a public shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the Public Shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

Except as follows, each of the Business Combination Proposal and the Merger Proposal is interdependent on each other. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on the approval of any other Proposal. If AIB’s shareholders do not approve each of the Proposals, the Business Combination may not be consummated.

The Business Combination Proposal must be approved by ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes which are cast by those holders of AIB Class A Ordinary Shares and AIB Class B Ordinary Shares (collectively, “AIB Ordinary Shares”) who, being present and entitled to vote on such Proposals at the Meeting, vote at the Meeting.

The Merger Proposal must be approved by special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of at least two-thirds of the votes which are cast by those holders of Ordinary Shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Meeting, vote at the Meeting.

Q: Are any of the Proposals conditioned on one another?

A: Yes. Each of the Business Combination Proposal and the Merger Proposal is conditioned on the approval and adoption of each other. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the approval of any other Proposals.

Q: Why is AIB proposing the Business Combination?

A: AIB was incorporated for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. Since AIB’s incorporation, the AIB Board has sought to identify suitable candidates in order to effect such transaction. In its review of PSI, the AIB Board considered a variety of factors weighing positively

Table of Contents

and negatively in connection with the Business Combination. After careful consideration, the AIB Board has determined that the Business Combination presents a highly attractive business combination opportunity and is in the best interests of AIB. The AIB Board believes that, based on its review and consideration, the Business Combination presents an opportunity to increase shareholder value. However, there can be no assurance that the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination will be achieved. Shareholder approval of the Business Combination is required by the Business Combination Agreement and the Current Charter.

Q: Who is PSI?

A: PSI is a long-established global logistics and supply chain solution provider, specialized in air freight forwarding services, connecting businesses from Asian transportation hubs to the United States and the rest of the world. PSI operates through its subsidiaries in Hong Kong which derive revenue from air freight forwarding services, ocean freight forwarding services and supply chain ancillary services.

PSI is one of the renowned air freight and end-to-end supply chain solution providers in Hong Kong, with a focus on providing cross border logistics services. According to the report of CIC (“CIC Report”), in 2020, PSI ranked the sixth among 1,300 Tier-2 freight forwarders in Hong Kong, in terms of revenue. Based in Hong Kong, a prominent logistics hub in Asia, PSI benefits from geographical advantages in providing integrated solutions that combine ocean, air, and overland logistics.

PSI is positioning itself as a global e-Commerce logistic service specialist, delivering solutions that are not only cost-effective but also sufficiently fast to compete with local alternatives. Its ability to accommodate adaptive service models is crucial for serving cross-border merchants, brands and e-Commerce platforms. This flexibility and adaptability are underpinned by PSI’s expertise in traditional services, which include air freight forwarding and ocean freight forwarding.

Q: What will happen in the Business Combination?

A: Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, AIB will acquire PSI in a transaction referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus as the Business Combination. At the Closing, among other things, (a) PSI Merger Sub I will merge with and into PSI (the “First Merger”), with PSI surviving the First Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco and the outstanding shares of PSI being converted into the right to receive shares of Pubco; and (b) one business day following the First Merger, PSI Merger Sub II will merge with and into AIB (the “Second Merger”, and together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with AIB surviving the Second Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco and the outstanding securities of AIB being converted into the right to receive substantially equivalent securities of Pubco (the Mergers together with the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and other Ancillary Documents, the “Transactions”). The cash held in the Trust Account and the proceeds from any financing transactions in connection with the Business Combination will be used by Pubco for working capital and general corporate purposes following the consummation of the Business Combination. A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A. For Pubco’s organizational structure chart upon consummation of the Business Combination, see “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Post-Business Combination Corporate Structure.”

Q: What will PSI Securityholders receive in the Business Combination?

A: Subject to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and customary adjustments, including for net working capital, indebtedness, and transaction expenses, as set forth therein, the aggregate consideration to be delivered to PSI Securityholders in connection with the Business Combination will be a number of Pubco Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing $200,000,000 by the Per Share Price of $10.00.

Q: Will AIB obtain new financing in connection with the Business Combination?

A: AIB may enter into and consummate subscription agreements with investors relating to a private equity investment in the AIB to purchase shares of AIB in connection with a private placement, and/or enter into backstop arrangements with potential investors, in either case on terms mutually agreeable to PSI and AIB, acting reasonably (a “PIPE”). If AIB elects to seek a PIPE investment, AIB and PSI shall, and shall cause their respective representatives to, cooperate with each other and their respective representatives in connection with such PIPE investment and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause such PIPE investment to occur.

Q: Did the AIB Board obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination?

A: Yes, AIB Board obtained a fairness opinion in connection with its determination as to whether to proceed with the business combination. For a description of the opinion issued by King Kee Appraisal and Advisory Limited (“KKG”) to the AIB Board, see “Proposal No.1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Opinion of KKG.”

Q: What equity stake will current Public Shareholders, Sponsor and the PSI shareholders hold in Pubco immediately after the completion of the Business Combination?

A: Upon the completion of the Business Combination (assuming, among other things, that no Public Shareholders exercise redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares upon completion of the Business Combination and the other assumptions described in this proxy statement/prospectus), on a diluted and as-converted basis assuming exercise and conversion of all securities, PSI Shareholders will own approximately 72.9% of the outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares, Public Shareholders will own approximately 6.7% of the outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares and Sponsor will own approximately 9.3% of the outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares, as illustrate in the table below.

If any of the Public Shareholders exercise their redemption rights, the percentage of the outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares held by the Public Shareholders will decrease and the percentages of the outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares held by the Sponsor and by the PSI Shareholders will increase, in each case relative to the percentage held if none of the Public Shares are redeemed. Upon the issuance of Pubco Ordinary Shares in connection with the Business Combination, the percentage ownership of Public Shareholders in Pubco who do not redeem their Public Shares will be diluted. The percentage of the total number of outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares that will be owned by Public Shareholders as a group will vary based on the number of Public Shares for which the holders thereof request redemption in connection with the Business Combination. The following table illustrates varying beneficial ownership levels in Pubco, as well as possible sources and extents of dilution for non-redeeming Public Shareholders (on a diluted and as-converted basis assuming exercise and conversion of all securities, including the conversion of outstanding AIB Rights and Conversion Units (as defined below), exercise of Unit Purchase Option (as defined below) and the issuance of Pubco Ordinary Shares in respect thereof, as well as the issuance of Deferred Underwriting Shares (as defined below), buy-side advisory shares and financial advisory fee shares), assuming no redemptions by Public Shareholders, redemption of 50% of outstanding Public Shares and redemption of 100% Public Shares held by AIB Public Shareholders in connection with the Business Combination (representing the maximum number of Public Shares that may be redeemed at the Closing assuming fulfilment of contractual obligations not to redeem) of AIB Ordinary Shares at the Closing, as further described under the heading “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information”:

Q: What interests do AIB Initial Shareholders and Maxim have in the Business Combination?

A: In considering the recommendation of AIB Board to vote in favor of the Business Combination, AIB Public Shareholders should be aware that, aside from their interests as shareholders, AIB Initial Shareholders and Maxim have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of AIB’s

Table of Contents

other shareholders generally. AIB’s directors were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating the Business Combination, and in recommending to AIB’s shareholders that they approve the Business Combination. As of May 22, 2024, the aggregate dollar amount that the Sponsor and its affiliates had at risk was approximately $4.9 million. AIB Public Shareholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Business Combination. These interests include, among other things:

• the fact that the Sponsor paid approximately $0.01 per share, or an aggregate of $25,000, for the 2,156,250 Founder Shares (after a share dividend of 0.5 shares for each Class B Ordinary Shares) initially held by the Sponsor, which will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination, if it is consummated. On October 18, 2023, AIB issued an aggregate of 2,156,249 Class A Ordinary Shares to the Sponsor upon the conversion (the “Conversion”) of an equal number of Class B Ordinary Shares, held by the Sponsor. Based on the closing sales price of Class A Ordinary Shares on May 22, 2024, the aggregate value of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares held by the Sponsor as of the same date was approximately $24,861,563. If AIB does not consummate the Business Combination or another initial business combination by January 21, 2025 (or a later date, if the deadline for AIB to complete its initial business combination is extended by an amendment to the Current Charter), and AIB is therefore required to be liquidated, these shares would be worthless, as the Founder Shares are not entitled to participate in any redemption or liquidation of the Trust Account. Based on the difference in the purchase price of approximately $0.01 per share that the Sponsor paid for the Founder Shares, as compared to the purchase price of $10.00 per Unit sold in the IPO, the Sponsor may earn a positive rate of return even if the share price of Pubco after the Closing falls below the price initially paid for the Units in the IPO and the Public Shareholders experience a negative rate of return following the Closing;

• the fact that if AIB does not consummate the Business Combination or another initial business combination by January 21, 2025 (or a later date, if the deadline for AIB to complete its initial business combination is extended by an amendment to the Current Charter), it would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming all of the outstanding Public Shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and its directors, dissolving and liquidating, subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Sponsor will benefit from the completion of an initial business combination and may be incentivized to complete the acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to shareholders rather than to liquidate;

• the fact that the Sponsor paid $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, or an aggregate of $3,456,250, for the 345,625 Private Placement Units acquired by the Sponsor in a private placement simultaneous with the IPO and the full exercise of underwriters’ over-allotment option. Based on the closing sales price of AIB Units on May 22, 2024, the aggregate value of the Private Placement Unit held by the Sponsor as of the same date was approximately $3,459,706. If AIB consummates the Business Combination, the shares that are components of the Private Placement Units and the shares issuable pursuant to the Private Rights included in the Private Placement Units will be converted into Pubco Ordinary Shares at the time of the Business Combination. However, if AIB does not consummate Business Combination or another business combination by January 21, 2025 (or a later date, if the deadline for AIB to complete its initial business combination is extended by an amendment to the Current Charter), and AIB is therefore required to be liquidated, these securities may be worthless;

• the fact that Maxim or its designees own 82,225 Representative Shares, which were issued for nominal consideration in connection with the IPO, and 43,125 Private Placement Units, purchased by Maxim for $10.00 per Private Placement Unit. If AIB consummates the Business Combination, the Representative Shares, the shares that are components of the Private Placement Units and the shares issuable pursuant to the Private Rights included in the Private Placement Units will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination. However, if AIB does not consummate Business Combination or another business combination by January 21, 2025 (or a later date, if the deadline for AIB to complete its initial business combination is extended by an amendment to the Current Charter), and AIB is therefore required to be liquidated, these securities may be worthless;

reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.10 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 due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay AIB’s tax obligations, 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 AIB’s indemnity of the underwriters of AIB’s IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act;

• the fact that AIB Initial Shareholders have waived their rights to receive distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares, Private Shares included in Private Placement Units and Representative Shares upon AIB’s liquidation if AIB is unable to consummate its initial business combination;

• the fact that AIB Initial Shareholders have agreed, pursuant to the Insider Letter Agreement with AIB, not to exercise their redemption rights with respect to the Founder Shares and the Private Shares included in Private Placement Units held by them;

• the fact that AIB may not be able to reimburse its officers, directors or their affiliates for certain out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them related to investigating, negotiating and completing an initial business combination unless the Business Combination or another initial business combination is consummated. As of March 31, 2024, the Sponsor had advanced $58,000, which included $20,000 expenses paid by the Sponsor on behalf of AIB. However, in the future, officers, directors or their affiliates may incur additional expenses for which they expect to be reimbursed at the Closing. There is no limit on the amount of out-of-pocket expenses reimbursable by AIB. However, if AIB fails to consummate a business combination by January 21, 2025 (or a later date, if the deadline for AIB to complete its initial business combination is extended by an amendment to the Current Charter), AIB’s officers, directors and their affiliates will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. Accordingly, AIB may not be able to reimburse these expenses, if any, if the Business Combination or another business combination is not completed by such date;

• the fact that the Sponsor holds two promissory notes in the aggregate principal amounts of up to $1,200,000, issued by AIB in connection with the Extensions (the “Extension Notes”), pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan to AIB up to such amount in connection with the Extensions. AIB will deposit into the Trust Account $50,000 per month for each month of the Extensions, commencing on January 21, 2023 and continuing through January 21, 2025, or portion thereof, that is needed to complete an initial business combination, for up to an aggregate of $1,200,000. Each of the Extension Notes bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the Business Combination, and (b) the date of the liquidation of AIB. As of May 23, 2024, the Sponsor had deposited an aggregate of $850,000 (plus any applicable interest) into the Trust Account under the Extension Notes. In the event an initial business combination is consummated, the Extension Notes may be repaid out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the post-combination company. Otherwise, the Extension Notes would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a business combination does not close, AIB may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Extension Notes, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Extension Notes;

• the fact that the Sponsor holds a promissory note in the principal amount of up to $500,000 (“Working Capital Loan Note”), issued by AIB in connection with advances the Sponsor has made, and may make in the future, to AIB for working capital expenses. The Working Capital Loan Note bears no interest and is due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which AIB consummates its initial business combination and (ii) the date that the winding up of AIB is effective. At the election of the Sponsor, up to $500,000 of the unpaid principal amount of the Working Capital Loan Note may, in the event an initial business combination is consummated, be converted into units of AIB, each unit consisting of one AIB Class A Ordinary Share and one right exchangeable into one-tenth of one AIB Class A Ordinary Share (the “Conversion Units”), equal to: (x) the portion of the principal amount of this note being converted, divided by (y) $10.00, rounded up to the nearest whole number of units. The Conversion Units are identical to the Private Placement Units. The Conversion Units and their underlying securities are entitled to the registration rights set forth in the note. As of March 31, 2024, there was $500,000 outstanding under the Working Capital Loan Note. Based on the closing sales price of AIB Units on May 22, 2024, the aggregate value of the Conversion Units held by the Sponsor as of March 31, 2024 was approximately $500,500. By contrast, if AIB is unable to consummate an initial business combination and is forced to

Table of Contents

liquidate, the Working Capital Loan Note would be due upon the winding up of AIB and the affiliates of AIB that contributed funds to the Sponsor in connection therewith would be repaid for their contributions. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, if the Working Capital Loan Note is converted into Conversion Units, then AIB shall promptly deliver one or more new duly executed note(s) to the Sponsor in the principal amount that remains outstanding, if any, after any such conversion;

• the anticipated election of Eric Chen and Axel Hoerger as directors of Pubco in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. As such, in the future, such directors will receive any cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the Pubco Board determines to pay to such directors;

• the fact that, if AIB is unable to consummate the Business Combination or another initial business combination by January 21, 2025, unless the time period to consummate AIB’s initial business combination is extended pursuant to the Current Charter, Maxim or its designee will not be entitled to receive 301,875 ordinary shares of the surviving publicly trading company as payment for deferred underwriting commissions (the “Deferred Underwriting Shares”) that Maxim is entitled to received, pursuant to a December 21, 2023 amendment to the Underwriting Agreement, in lieu of the $3,018,750 deferred underwriting fees payable is contingent upon the consummation of an initial business combination pursuant to the original Underwriting Agreement. The Deferred Underwriting Shares will be issued to Maxim or its designee solely in the event that AIB completes an initial business combination, subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, as amended;

• the fact that Maxim is serving as AIB’s sole M&A advisor for AIB’s Business Combination with PSI. In addition to the Deferred Underwriting Shares, Maxim will also be entitled to receive Pubco Ordinary Shares as payment for its advisory services, which is equivalent to 1.0% of the equity value of the PSI, or 200,000 Pubco Ordinary Shares, with unlimited piggyback registration rights and the same rights afforded other holders of the Pubco Ordinary Shares issued in the Business Combination;

• the fact that, subject to certain conditions, AIB granted Maxim, for a period beginning on the closing of the IPO and ending 18 months after the date of the consummation of a business combination, a right of first refusal to act as lead left book-running managing underwriter with at least 75% of the economics; or, in the case of a three-handed deal 50% of the economics, for any and all future public and private equity, convertible and debt offerings for AIB or any of AIB’s successors or subsidiaries; and

• the fact that AIB sold to the IPO underwriters, for $100, an option to purchase up to a total of 431,250 AIB Units, exercisable, in whole or in part, at $11.00 per Unit, commencing on the consummation of AIB’s initial business combination (the “Unit Purchase Option”). The Unit Purchase Option may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and expires five years from January 18, 2022.

Please also see “Proposal No.1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of AIB’s Initial Shareholders and Advisors in the Business Combination,” and “Beneficial Ownership of AIB Securities Before the Business Combination” for more information on the interests and relationships of AIB Initial Shareholders, AIB’s advisors, PSI and others in the Business Combination.

Each issued and outstanding AIB Right shall be automatically converted into one-tenth of one Pubco Ordinary Share upon consummation of the Business Combination, provided that Pubco will not issue fractional shares in exchange for the AIB Rights. There are no material differences between the Public Rights and the Private Rights arising from such automatic conversion.

Q: What happens to the funds deposited in the Trust Account after consummation of the Business Combination?

A: After completion of the Business Combination, the funds in the Trust Account will be used to pay holders of the AIB Public Shares who exercise redemption rights and, after paying the redemptions, a portion will be used to pay transaction expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination, including fees payable by AIB in an aggregate estimated amount of up to $1.5 million, excluding expense reimbursements payable to Maxim, and for working capital and general corporate purposes of AIB and its subsidiaries. Such funds may also be used to reduce the indebtedness and certain other liabilities of AIB and its subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2024, there were investments and cash held in the Trust Account of approximately $11.5 million. These funds will not be released until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination or the redemption of the Public Shares if AIB is unable to complete a Business Combination by January 21, 2025 (or a later date, if the deadline for AIB to complete its initial business combination is extended by an amendment to the Current Charter).

Table of Contents

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

A: AIB’s Public Shareholders may vote in favor of the Business Combination and still exercise their redemption rights, provided that AIB, after payment of all such redemptions and expenses, has at least $5,000,001 in net tangible assets upon the Closing. The Business Combination may be completed even though the funds available from the Trust Account and the number of Public Shareholders are substantially reduced as a result of redemptions by Public Shareholders.

If the Business Combination is completed notwithstanding redemptions, Pubco will have fewer Public Shares and Public Shareholders, the trading market for Pubco’s securities may be less liquid and Pubco may not be able to meet the minimum listing standards for a national securities exchange. Furthermore, the funds available from the Trust Account for working capital purposes of Pubco after the Business Combination may not be sufficient for its future operations or any future potential acquisitions Pubco may pursue and may not allow Pubco to reduce its indebtedness and/or pursue its strategy for growth.

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

A: The obligations of the parties to consummate the Business Combination are subject to various conditions, including the following mutual conditions of the parties unless waived: (i) the approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination and related matters by the requisite vote of AIB’s shareholders; (ii) obtaining material regulatory approvals; (iii) no law or order preventing or prohibiting the Business Combination; (iv) AIB having at least $5,000,001 in net tangible assets as of the Closing, after giving effect to the completion of the redemption and any PIPE financing that has been funded; (v) amendment by Pubco shareholders of Pubco’s memorandum and articles of association; (vi) the effectiveness of this registration statement; (vii) appointment of the post-closing directors of Pubco; and (viii) Nasdaq listing requirements having been fulfilled.

In addition, unless waived by PSI, the obligations of PSI, Pubco, the PSI Merger Sub I and the PSI Merger Sub II to consummate the Business Combination are subject to the satisfaction of the following Closing conditions, in addition to customary certificates and other closing deliveries: (i) the representations and warranties of AIB being true and correct on and as of the Closing (subject to Material Adverse Effect, as defined in the Business Combination Agreement); (ii) AIB having performed in all material respects its obligations and complied in all material respects with its covenants and agreements under the Business Combination Agreement required to be performed or complied with by it on or prior to the Closing Date; (iii) absence of any Material Adverse Effect with respect to AIB since the date of the Business Combination Agreement which is continuing and uncured; and (iv) receipt by PSI and Pubco of the Ancillary Documents duly executed and approved by the other parties thereto.

Unless waived by AIB, the obligations of AIB, to consummate the Business Combination are subject to the satisfaction of the following Closing conditions, in addition to customary certificates and other closing deliveries: (i) the representations and warranties of PSI, Pubco, the PSI Merger Sub I, and the PSI Merger Sub II being true and correct on and as of the Closing (subject to Material Adverse Effect on the Target Companies, taken as a whole); (ii) PSI, Pubco, the PSI Merger Sub I, and the PSI Merger Sub II having performed in all material respects the respective obligations and complied in all material respects with their respective covenants and agreements under the Business Combination Agreement required to be performed or complied with on or prior to the Closing Date; (iii) absence of any Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Target Companies (taken as a whole) since the date of the Business Combination Agreement which is continuing and uncured; and (iv) receipt by AIB of the Ancillary Documents duly executed and approved by the other parties thereto.

For a further discussion of conditions to consummating the Business Combination, see “Proposal No.1 — The Business Combination Proposal.”

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

A: If AIB is not able to complete the Business Combination or another initial business combination by January 21, 2025 (or a later date, if the deadline for AIB to complete its initial business combination is extended by an amendment to the Current Charter), AIB may be forced to cease all operations and liquidate. If AIB is unable to complete an initial business combination by such date, AIB will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and redeeming

its Public Shares and liquidating the Trust Account, in which case AIB Public Shareholders may only receive the amount in the Trust Account as of the applicable redemption date, less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and net of taxes payable, which would be only approximately $11.66 per share, based on the amount held in the Trust Account as of March 31, 2024, and AIB Rights will expire worthless. The aggregate share consideration payable to Maxim that are contingent upon the Closing is 976,250 Pubco Ordinary Shares (which consists of Pubco 474,375 Ordinary Shares underlying the Unit Purchase Option, 301,875 Deferred Underwriting Shares, and 200,000 Pubco Ordinary Shares to be issued to the underwriter as buy-side advisory service fees).

Q: When do you expect the Business Combination to be completed?

A: It is currently anticipated that the Business Combination will be consummated as soon as practicable following the Meeting, which is set for [ ], 2024; however, (i) such Meeting could be adjourned if the Adjournment Proposal is adopted by AIB shareholders at the Meeting and the AIB shareholders elect to adjourn the Meeting to a later date or dates not later than January 21, 2025 (or a later date, if the deadline for AIB to complete its initial business combination is extended by an amendment to the Current Charter), to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Meeting, any of Proposals has not been approved, and (ii) the Closing will not occur until all conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement are satisfied or waived. For a description of the conditions for the completion of the Business Combination, see “The Business Combinations Agreement and Other Transaction Documents –– The Business Combination Agreement and Related Agreements — General Description of the Business Combination Agreement — Conditions to Closing.”

Q. What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination to me?

A. It is intended that the Second Merger, together with the other transactions described in the Business Combination Agreement, qualifies as an exchange described in Section 351(a) of the Code. Assuming such qualification, a U.S. holder that receives Pubco Ordinary Shares in exchange for AIB Ordinary Shares in the Second Merger generally should not recognize any gain or loss on such exchange. In such case, the aggregate adjusted tax basis of the Pubco Ordinary Shares received in the Second Merger by a U.S. holder should be equal to the adjusted tax basis of the AIB Ordinary Shares exchanged therefor. The holding period of the Pubco Ordinary Shares should include the holding period during which the AIB Ordinary Shares exchanged therefor were held by such U.S. holder.

Even if the Business Combination otherwise qualifies as an exchange described in Section 351(a) of the Code, U.S. holders may be required to recognize gain (but not loss) on account of the application of the Passive Foreign Investment Company rules, as described in more detail under “Material Tax Considerations — U.S. Holders — The Business Combination — Application of the Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules to the Transactions.”

For additional discussion of the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Business Combination, see the section entitled “Material Tax Considerations — U.S. Holders — The Business Combination — Tax Consequences of the Business Combination.”

Q. What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising my redemption rights?

Holders of AIB Ordinary Shares who exercise their redemption rights to receive cash will be considered for U.S. federal income tax purposes to have made a sale or exchange of the tendered shares, or will be considered for U.S. federal income tax purposes to have received a distribution with respect to such shares that may be treated as: (i) dividend income, (ii) a non-taxable recovery of basis in such U.S. holder’s investment in the tendered shares, or (iii) gain (but not loss) as if the shares with respect to which the distribution was made had been sold. See the section entitled “Material Tax Considerations — U.S. Holders — The Business Combination — Redemption of AIB Ordinary Shares.”

Q: What Proposals are shareholders being asked to vote upon?

A: The Proposals are:

• Proposal No.1 — The Business Combination Proposal

• Proposal No.2 — The Merger Proposal

• Proposal No.3 — The Adjournment Proposal

Table of Contents

After careful consideration, the AIB Board has approved the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combinations and determined that the Business Combination Proposal, the Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal each is in the best interests of AIB and recommends that you vote “FOR” or give instruction to vote “FOR” each of these Proposals.

THE VOTE OF SHAREHOLDERS IS IMPORTANT. SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO SUBMIT THEIR PROXIES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER CAREFULLY REVIEWING THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS.

Q: What material negative factors did the AIB Board consider in connection with the Business Combination?

A: Among the material negative factors that the AIB Board considered in its evaluation of the Business Combination were the risk that the potential Business Combination may not be fully achieved or that the Business Combination may not be consummated and the risks relating to, among other things, the uncertain of certain projected financial information related to PSI, PSI’s ability to successfully and timely develop and implement its growth strategy, PSI’s ability to adequately manage any logistics and supply chain risks, fluctuations in the price of cargo space and the uncertainties in supply and demand for cargo space, PSI’s ability to successfully collaborate with business partners, demands for PSI’s current and future services.

The AIB Board took into consideration that PSI will need sufficient access to capital to fund the development of its product candidates and, if Pubco’s market price falls, this may impact PSI’s ability to obtain the necessary funding on a timely basis, if at all. These factors are discussed in greater detail in the section titled “Proposal No.1 — The Business Combination Proposal — AIB Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination,” as well as in the sections titled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to AIB and the Business Combination” and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to PSI’s Business and Industry.”

Q: Do I have redemption rights?

A: Pursuant to AIB’s Current Charter, Public Shareholders may request that AIB redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares if the Business Combination is consummated, subject to certain limitations, for cash equal to the applicable redemption price; provided, however, that AIB may not redeem such shares to the extent that such redemption would result in AIB having net tangible assets (as determined under the Exchange Act) of less than $5,000,001 upon the completion of the Business Combination.

You will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if you:

• hold Public Shares; and

• prior to [ ], Eastern Time, on [ ], 2024 (two business days prior to the vote at the Meeting), (i) submit a written request to Continental, AIB’s Transfer Agent, that AIB redeem your Public Shares for cash, and (ii) deliver your share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms to the Transfer Agent, physically or electronically through DTC.

Public Shareholders may seek to have their shares redeemed regardless of (i) whether or not they vote on any of the Proposals, (ii) if they vote, whether they affirmatively vote for or against the Business Combination, and (iii) whether or not they were holders of AIB Ordinary Shares as of the Record Date or acquired their shares after the Record Date.

The redemptions will be effectuated in accordance with the Current Charter and Cayman Islands law. Any Public Shareholder who holds AIB Ordinary Shares on or before [ ], 2024 (two (2) business days before the Meeting) will have the right to demand that his, her or its shares be redeemed for a pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including any interest earned on the Trust Fund not previously released to AIB (net of taxes payable), calculated as of two business days prior to the completion of the Business Combination, provided that such Public Shareholders follow the procedures provided for exercising such redemption set forth in the Current Charter, as described below, by such date. However, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to claims that could take priority over those of Public Shareholders exercising redemption rights, regardless of whether such holders affirmatively vote for or against the Business Combination Proposal, or do not vote at all, and whether such holders are holders of AIB Ordinary Shares as

Table of Contents

of the Record Date. Therefore, the per-share distribution from the Trust Account in such a situation may be less than originally anticipated due to such claims. A Public Shareholder will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if the Business Combination is completed. Holders of Rights will not have redemption rights.

Further, each Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate or any other person with whom such Public Shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to 15% or more of the Public Shares. Accordingly, any shares held by a Public Shareholder or “group” in excess of such 15% cap will not be redeemed by AIB. Any Public Shareholder who holds less than 15% of the Public Shares may have all of the Public Shares held by him or her redeemed for cash.

If a Public Shareholder has exercised its redemption rights with respect to Public Shares, but the Business Combination is not completed, the redemptions will be canceled and the tendered shares will be returned to the relevant Public Shareholders as appropriate.

Q: How do I exercise my redemption rights?

A: If you intend to seek redemption of your Public Shares, you must, at least two business days prior to the Meeting, (i) submit a written request to AIB’s Transfer Agent that your Public Shares be redeemed for cash, and (ii) deliver your share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms (either physically or electronically using DTC’s DWAC system) to the Transfer Agent, as described in this proxy statement/prospectus. If you have questions regarding the certification of your position or delivery of your shares, please contact:

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
One State Street, 30th Floor
New York, New York 10004
Attention: Mark Zimkind
E-mail: mzimkind@continentalstock.com

Any demand for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests and thereafter, with AIB’s consent, until the consummation of the Business Combination, or such other date as determined by the AIB Board. If you delivered your shares for redemption to the Transfer Agent and decide within the required timeframe not to exercise your redemption rights, you may request that the Transfer Agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting the Transfer Agent at the phone number or address listed above.

Any corrected or changed written demand of redemption rights must be received by AIB’s Chief Executive Officer two (2) business days prior to the vote taken on the Business Combination at the Meeting. No demand for redemption will be honored unless the holder’s share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms have been delivered (either physically or electronically) to the Transfer Agent at least two business days prior to the vote at the Meeting.

Public Shareholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights and opting to deliver physical certificates and other redemption forms should allot sufficient time to obtain physical certificates from the Transfer Agent and time to effect delivery. It is AIB’s understanding that shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the Transfer Agent. However, AIB does not have any control over this process and it may take longer than two weeks. Public Shareholders who hold their shares in street name will have to coordinate with their banks, brokers or other nominees to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The Transfer Agent will typically charge a nominal fee to the tendering broker and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming shareholder. In the event the Business Combination is not completed, this may result in an additional cost to shareholders for the return of their shares.

If a Public Shareholder properly demands redemption as described above, then, if the Business Combination is completed, AIB will redeem the shares subject to the redemptions for cash. Such amount will be paid promptly after completion of the Business Combination. If you exercise your redemption rights, then you will be exchanging your AIB Shares for cash and will no longer own these shares following the Business Combination.

If you are a Public Shareholder and you exercise your redemption rights, it will not result in either the exercise or loss of any Rights. Your Rights will continue to be outstanding following a redemption of your Public Shares and will become exercisable in connection with the completion of the Business Combination.

Table of Contents

Q: Will how I vote on the Business Combination Proposal affect my ability to exercise redemption rights?

A: No. If you have redemption rights, you may exercise your redemption rights irrespective of whether you affirmatively vote your AIB Ordinary Shares for or against, or abstain from voting on, the Business Combination Proposal or any other Proposal described in this proxy statement/prospectus on which you are entitled to vote. As a result, the Business Combination 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: Are AIB shareholders able to exercise appraisal/dissenters’ rights?

A: Holders of record of AIB Ordinary Shares may have appraisal rights in connection with the Mergers under the Cayman Companies Act (“Dissent Rights”). Holders of record of AIB Ordinary Shares wishing to exercise such Dissent Rights and make a demand for payment of the fair value for his, her or its AIB Ordinary Shares must give written objection to the Mergers to AIB prior to the shareholder vote at the Meeting to approve the Mergers and follow the procedures set out in Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Act, noting that any such dissenter rights may subsequently be lost and extinguished pursuant to Section 239 of the Cayman Companies Act which states that no such dissenter rights shall be available in respect of shares of any class for which an open market exists on a recognized stock exchange or recognized interdealer quotation system at the expiry date of the period allowed for written notice of an election to dissent provided that the mergers consideration constitutes inter alia shares of any company which at the effective date of the merger are listed on a national securities exchange. If any AIB shareholder exercises Dissent Rights, then AIB and Pubco may elect to consummate the Merger after the expiry date of the period allowed for written notice of an election to dissent in order to invoke the exemption under Section 239 of the Cayman Companies Act, in which case dissenter rights will no longer be available. It is AIB’s view that such fair market value would equal the amount which shareholders would obtain if they exercised their redemption rights as described herein. An AIB shareholder which elects to exercise Dissent Rights must do so in respect of all of the AIB Ordinary Shares that person holds and will lose their right to exercise their redemption rights as described herein. See “Extraordinary General Meeting of AIB Shareholders — Appraisal or Dissenters’ Rights.”

AIB shareholders are recommended to seek their own advice as soon as possible on the application and procedure to be followed in respect of the appraisal rights under the Cayman Companies Act.

Q: What do I need to do now?

A: AIB urges you 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 an AIB shareholder. Shareholders should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement/prospectus and on the enclosed proxy card.

Q: How do I vote?

A: The Meeting will be held via live webcast at [ ] a.m., Eastern Time, on [ ], 2024. For the purposes of AIB’s Current Charter, the physical place of the Meeting will be at the office of [AIB at 875 Third Avenue, Suite M204A, New York, NY 10022]. The Meeting can be accessed by visiting http://_____________, where you will be able to listen to the Meeting live and vote during the Meeting. Please note that you will only be able to access the Meeting by means of remote communication. If you are a holder of record of AIB Ordinary Shares on the Record Date, you may vote at the Meeting or by submitting a proxy for the Meeting. You may submit your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage paid envelope. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or nominee, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the broker, bank or nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the Meeting and vote, obtain a proxy from your broker, bank or nominee.

Any proxy may be revoked by the person giving it at any time before the polls close at the Meeting. A proxy may be revoked by filing with AIB’s Chief Executive Officer either (i) a written notice of revocation bearing a date later than the date of such proxy, (ii) a subsequent proxy relating to the same shares, or (iii) by attending the Meeting and voting online.

Table of Contents

Simply attending the Meeting will not constitute revocation of your proxy. If your shares are held in the name of a broker or other nominee who is the record holder, you must follow the instructions of your broker or other nominee to revoke a previously given proxy.

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

A: No. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the “beneficial holder” of the shares held for you in what is known as “street name.” If this is the case, this proxy statement/prospectus may have been forwarded to you by your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, or its agent.

As the beneficial holder, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee as to how to vote your shares. If you do not provide voting instructions to your broker on a particular Proposal on which your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote, your shares will not be voted on that Proposal.

This is called a “broker non-vote.” Abstentions and broker-non votes will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established but will have no effect on any of the Proposals.

For the Proposals in this proxy statement/prospectus, your broker will not have the discretionary authority to vote your shares. Accordingly, your bank, broker, or other nominee can vote your shares at the Meeting only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should instruct your broker to vote your shares as soon as possible in accordance with directions you provide.

Q: When and where will the Meeting be held?

A: The Meeting will be held via live webcast at [ ] a.m., Eastern Time, on [ ], 2024, unless the Meeting is adjourned.

For the purposes of AIB’s Current Charter, the physical place of the Meeting will be at the office of [AIB at 875 Third Avenue, Suite M204A, New York, NY 10022].

The Meeting can be accessed by visiting http://_____________ where you will be able to listen to the Meeting live and vote during the Meeting. Please note that you will only be able to access the Meeting by means of remote communication.

Table of Contents

Q: Who is entitled to vote at the Meeting?

A: AIB has fixed [ ], 2024 as the Record Date. If you were a shareholder at the close of business on the Record Date, you are entitled to vote on matters that come before the Meeting. However, a shareholder may only vote his, her or its shares if such shareholder present in person (which would include presence at the virtual meeting) or is represented by proxy at the Meeting.

Q: How many votes do I have?

A: Shareholders are entitled to one vote at the Meeting for each ordinary share held of record as of the Record Date. As of the close of business on the Record Date, there were outstanding 3,612,025 Class A Ordinary Shares and 1 Class B Ordinary Share.

Q: What constitutes a quorum?

A: The holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding AIB Ordinary Shares being individuals present in person or by proxy or if a corporation or other non-natural person by its duly authorized representative or proxy (which would include presence at the virtual meeting) shall constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum, the Meeting may be adjourned in accordance with the terms of the Current Charter.

As of the Record Date for the Meeting, 1,806,014 AIB Ordinary Shares would be required to achieve a quorum.

Q: What vote is required to approve each Proposal at the Meeting?

A: The following votes are required for each Proposal at the Meeting:

• Business Combination Proposal: The Business Combination Proposal must be approved by an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes which are cast by those holders of AIB Ordinary Shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Meeting, vote at the Meeting.

• Merger Proposal: The Merger Proposal must be approved by a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of at least two-thirds of the votes which are cast by those holders of AIB Ordinary Shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Meeting, vote at the Meeting.

• Adjournment Proposal: The Adjournment Proposal, if presented, must be approved by ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes which are cast by those holders of AIB Ordinary Shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Meeting, vote at the Meeting.

The AIB Initial Shareholders have previously entered into the Insider Letter Agreement, pursuant to which they have agreed to vote their Founder Shares, Private Shares and any Public Shares purchased during or after AIB’s IPO in favor of the Business Combination, including each of the Proposals; provided, that such voting obligations with respect to any Public Shares purchased in connection with the Business Combination would be waived by AIB. For more information, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to AIB and the Business Combination — The Sponsor, AIB’s directors, officers, advisors, and their affiliates may elect to purchase AIB Public Shares prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, which may influence the vote on the Business Combination and reduce the public “float” of AIB Ordinary Shares.” As of [ ], 2024, the Record Date for the Meeting, AIB Initial Shareholders, including its Sponsor, beneficially owned and are entitled to vote an aggregate of 2,156,250 Founder Shares, which constitute approximately 59.7% of the outstanding AIB Ordinary Shares. Additionally, an aggregate of 345,625 Private Shares underlying the 345,625 Private Placement Units acquired by the Sponsor in connection with a private placement that closed simultaneously with the AIB IPO. These Private Shares constitute approximately 9.6% of the outstanding AIB Ordinary Shares as of [ ], 2024. As such, the Founder Shares, the Private Shares underlying the Private Placement Units held by AIB Initial Shareholders in the aggregate represent approximately 69.3% of the outstanding AIB Ordinary Shares as of [ ], 2024, which is sufficient to approve the Business Combination Proposal.

Q: What are the recommendations of the Board?

A: The AIB Board believes that the Business Combination Proposal and the other Proposals to be presented at the Meeting are in the best interest of AIB and recommends that AIB’s shareholders vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the Merger Proposal, and, if presented at the Meeting, “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.

Table of Contents

The existence of financial and personal interests of AIB’s directors and officers may result in conflicts of interest, including a conflict between what may be in the best interests of AIB and its shareholders and what may be best for a director’s personal interests when determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the Proposals. These conflicts of interest include, among other things, that if AIB does not consummate an initial business combination by January 21, 2025 (or a later date, if the deadline for AIB to complete its initial business combination is extended by an amendment to the Current Charter), AIB may be forced to liquidate and the Founder Shares and the Private Placement Units held by AIB’s officers, directors and the Sponsor, which is affiliated with certain of AIB’s officers, would be worthless. See “Proposal No.1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of AIB’s Initial Shareholders and Advisors in the Business Combination” and “Beneficial Ownership of AIB Securities Before the Business Combination.”

Q: How do AIB Initial Shareholders intend to vote their shares?

A: All of AIB Initial Shareholders have previously entered into the Insider Letter Agreement, pursuant to which they have agreed to vote their Founder Shares, Private Shares and any Public Shares purchased during or after AIB’s IPO in favor of the Business Combination, including each of the Proposals; provided, that such voting obligations with respect to any Public Shares purchased in connection with the Business Combination would be waived by AIB. For more information, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to AIB and the Business Combination — The Sponsor, AIB’s directors, officers, advisors, and their affiliates may elect to purchase AIB Public Shares prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, which may influence the vote on the Business Combination and reduce the public “float” of AIB Ordinary Shares.”

As of [ ], 2024, the Record Date for the Meeting, AIB Initial Shareholders, including its Sponsor, beneficially owned and are entitled to vote an aggregate of 2,156,250 Founder Shares, which constitute approximately 59.7% of the outstanding AIB Ordinary Shares. Additionally, an aggregate of 345,625 Private Shares underlying the 345,625 Private Placement Units acquired by the Sponsor in connection with a private placement that closed simultaneously with the AIB IPO. These Private Shares constitute approximately 9.6% of the outstanding AIB Ordinary Shares as of [ ], 2024. As such, the Founder Shares and the Private Shares underlying the Private Placement Units held by AIB Initial Shareholders in the aggregate represent approximately 69.3% of the outstanding AIB Ordinary Shares as of [ ], 2024, which is sufficient to approve the Business Combination Proposal.

Q: May AIB Initial Shareholders purchase AIB securities prior to the Meeting?

A: At any time prior to the Meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material non-public information regarding AIB or AIB’s securities, AIB Initial Shareholders and/or their respective affiliates may purchase AIB securities from investors, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire AIB Ordinary Shares or vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal.

The purpose of share purchases by AIB Initial Shareholders prior to the Meeting and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood that the Proposals presented to shareholders for approval at the Meeting are approved or to provide additional equity financing. Any such share purchases and other transactions may thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining shareholder approval of the Business Combination. This may result in the completion of the Business Combination that may not otherwise have been possible. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including the granting of put options.

Entering into any such incentive arrangements may have a depressive effect on outstanding ordinary shares. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he or she owns, either prior to or immediately after the Meeting.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be approved in circumstances where such approval could not otherwise be obtained. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the Proposals to be presented at the Meeting and would likely increase the chances that such Proposals would be approved. 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. AIB will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the Proposals to be voted on at the Meeting. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

Table of Contents

Q: What happens if I sell my AIB Ordinary Shares before the Meeting?

A: The Record Date for the Meeting is earlier than the date of the Meeting and earlier than the date that the Business Combination is expected to be completed. If you transfer your AIB Ordinary Shares after the applicable record date, but before the Meeting, unless you grant a proxy to the transferee, you will retain your right to vote at the Meeting with respect to such shares, but the transferee, and not you, will have the ability to redeem such shares (if time permits).

Q: How has the announcement of the Business Combination affected the trading price of AIB Class A Ordinary Shares, AIB Rights and AIB Units?

A: On December 26, 2023, the last trading date before the public announcement of the Business Combination, AIB Units, AIB Class A Ordinary Shares and AIB Public Rights closed at $12.00, $11.49 and $0.13, respectively.

AIB Public Units, AIB Class A Ordinary Shares and AIB Public Rights were traded on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbols “AIBBU,” “AIB” and “AIBBR,” respectively. However, as described above, each of these securities is subject to the Trading Suspension. On May 8, 2024, the last day of trading prior to the Trading Suspension, the closing sale prices of AIB Public Units, AIB Class A Ordinary Shares and AIB Public Rights were $12.50, $11.73 and $0.10, respectively. Since the Trading Suspension, AIB Public Units, AIB Class A Ordinary Shares and AIB Public Rights have been eligible to trade on the OTC Markets under the tickers “ACCUF,” “AIBAF” and “AACRF,” respectively. As of May 22, 2024, the closing sales prices of AIB Public Units, AIB Class A Ordinary Shares and AIB Public Rights were $10.01, $11.53 and $0.14, respectively.

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

A: Yes. Shareholders may send a later-dated, signed proxy card to AIB’s Chief Executive Officer at the address set forth below so that it is received by AIB’s Chief Executive Officer prior to the vote at the Meeting (which is scheduled to take place on [ ], 2024) or attend and vote at the virtual meeting in person by visiting http://_________________ and entering the assigned control number. Shareholders also may revoke their proxy by sending a notice of revocation to AIB’s Chief Executive Officer, which must be received by AIB’s Chief Executive Officer prior to the vote at the Meeting. However, if your shares are held in “street name” by your broker, bank or another nominee, you must contact your broker, bank or other nominee to change your vote.

Q: What happens if I fail to take any action with respect to the Meeting?

A: If you fail to take any action with respect to the Meeting and the Business Combination is approved by shareholders and consummated, you will become a shareholder of Pubco. If you fail to take any action with respect to the Meeting and the Business Combination is not approved, you will remain a shareholder and/or right holder of AIB. However, if you fail to take any action with respect to the Meeting, you will nonetheless be able to elect to redeem your Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination, provided you follow the instructions in this proxy statement/prospectus for redeeming your shares.

Q: What should I do with my share certificates and/or right certificates?

A: Pursuant to the Current Charter, a Public Shareholder may request that AIB redeem all or a portion of such Public Shareholder’s Class A ordinary shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. You will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if you:

• hold Public Shares; and

• prior to [ ], Eastern Time, on [ ], 2024 (two business days prior to the vote at the Meeting) (i) submit a written request to the Transfer Agent that AIB redeem your Public Shares for cash and (ii) deliver your share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms to the Transfer Agent, physically or electronically through DTC.

to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds (net of required tax payments), divided by the number of then-outstanding Public Shares, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares.

If a Public Shareholder exercises its redemption rights, then it will be exchanging its redeemed Public Shares for cash and will no longer own such shares. Any request to redeem Public Shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests and thereafter, with AIB’s consent, until the consummation of the Business Combination, or such other date as determined by the AIB Board.

The holder can make such request by contacting the Transfer Agent, at the address or email address listed in this proxy statement/prospectus. See “Extraordinary General Meeting of AIB Shareholders — Redemption Rights” for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your Public Shares for cash.

PSI’s corporate website address is www.profitsail.com. PSI’s website and the information contained on, or that can be accessed through, the website is not deemed to be incorporated by reference in, and is not considered part of, this proxy statement/prospectus.

AIB

AIB is a blank check company that was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on June 18, 2021, for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities.

On May 11, 2023, AIB received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying AIB that, for the preceding 30 consecutive business days, AIB’s Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) was below the $50 million minimum requirement for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) (the “MVLS Requirement”). Also on May 11, 2023, AIB received a deficiency letter from the Staff of Nasdaq notifying AIB that, for the preceding 30 consecutive business days, AIB’s Market Value of Publicly Held Shares (“MVPHS”) was below the $15 million minimum requirement for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(3)(C) (the “MVPHS Requirement”). On September 25, 2023, AIB received a deficiency notice (the “Deficiency Notice”) from the Staff of Nasdaq notifying AIB that public holders of AIB Class A Ordinary Shares (“Public Holders”) were below the 400 Public Holders minimum requirement for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2) (the “Public Holders Requirement”). On November 9, 2023, AIB submitted its plan of compliance in response to the Deficiency Notice on Public Holders Requirement. On November 22, 2023, AIB received a notice (the “Notice”) from the Staff of Nasdaq indicating that since it was first

Table of Contents

notified by Nasdaq on May 11, 2023, AIB had not regained compliance with either the MVLS Requirement, or the MVPHS Requirement, that the Public Holders deficiency served as an additional basis for delisting AIB’s securities from Nasdaq. Pursuant to the Notice, unless AIB timely requested a hearing , AIB’s securities would be subject to suspension and delisting from The Nasdaq Global Market at the opening of business on December 1, 2023. AIB timely requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), which hearing request stayed the suspension and delisting of AIB’s securities pending conclusion of the hearings process. On February 13, 2024, AIB received a letter from the Staff indicating that AIB regained compliance with the MVPHS requirement. At a hearing on February 22, 2024, AIB presented its compliance plan to the Panel.

On March 14, 2024, the Panel issued its decision, which granted AIB’s request for continued listing until May 20, 2024, subject to certain conditions, including that (i) on or before May 1, 2024, AIB shall advise the Panel on the status of the SEC review of the Form F-4, (ii) on or before May 15, 2024, AIB shall hold a shareholder meeting and obtain approval for completion of its initial business combination, and (iii) on or before May 20, 2024, AIB shall close its initial business combination and the new entity shall demonstrate compliance with Listing Rule 5505. On May 1, 2024, AIB notified the Panel that it would not close an initial business combination by the Panel’s deadline. On May 7, 2024, AIB received a written notice from the Panel indicating that the Panel had decided to delist AIB’s securities from Nasdaq and trading of AIB securities will be suspended at the open of trading on May 9, 2024, due to AIB’s failure to comply with the terms of the Panel’s decision issued on March 14, 2024 (the “Trading Suspension”). Despite this decision, a formal delisting would not take effect until all applicable Nasdaq review and appeal periods have expired and Nasdaq files a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 on Form 25 with the SEC (the “Form 25”) after the applicable Nasdaq review and appeal periods have lapsed and/or upon the Closing. AIB did not appeal the Panel’s decision to the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council (the “Council”), and, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, AIB has not received notice from the Council of any review of the Panel’s decision, and the Trading Suspension is still in place. If delisting is completed prior to the Closing, and there is no subsequent relisting of AIB securities on a national exchange within 60 days thereafter, and the Closing has not occurred by that time, then PSI would have the right thereby, but is not required, to terminate the Business Combination Agreement. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Trading Suspension is still in place. There can be no assurance that the Trading Suspension will be lifted prior to the Closing. Further, although the parties intend to complete the Business Combination before a Form 25 is filed, it is uncertain if Pubco will be able to meet Nasdaq’s initial listing requirements to list its securities on Nasdaq, which is a condition to the Closing. While such condition can be waived mutually by the parties to the Business Combination Agreement, PSI does not intend to waive such condition.

AIB’s principal executive offices are located at 875 Third Avenue, Suite M204A, New York, NY 10022 and its phone number is (212) 380-8128.

Pubco

Pubco was incorporated under the laws of Cayman Islands on September 12, 2023, solely for the purpose of effectuating the Business Combination. Immediately following the Business Combination, Pubco will be an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act and qualify as a foreign private issuer as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act. Also, Pubco will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq corporate governance standards and eligible to take advantage of exemptions from certain Nasdaq corporate governance standards.

The mailing address of Pubco is Unit 1002, 10/F, Join-in Hang Sing Centre, No.2-16 Kwai Fung Crescent, Kwai Chung, New Territories, Hong Kong, which will continue to be the mailing address and principal executive office of Pubco following the consummation of the Business Combination. The telephone number of Pubco following the consummation of the Business Combination will be +852 2754 3320.

The Business Combination Proposal

The Business Combination Agreement

On December 27, 2023, AIB entered into the Business Combination Agreement with the AIB Representative, Pubco, PSI Merger Sub I, PSI Merger Sub II, and PSI. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, at the Closing, (a) PSI Merger Sub I will merge with and into PSI, with PSI surviving the First Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco and the outstanding shares of PSI being converted into the right to receive shares of Pubco; and (b) one business day following the First Merger, PSI Merger Sub II will merge with and into AIB, with AIB surviving the Second Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco and the outstanding AIB Securities of being converted into the right to receive substantially equivalent securities of Pubco.

Consideration

Under the Business Combination Agreement, the Aggregate Merger Consideration Amount to be paid to the shareholders of PSI is $200,000,000 (less the amount, if any, by which the Target Net Working Capital Amount exceeds the Net Working Capital, the amount of Closing Net Debt, and the amount of any Transaction Expenses), and will be paid entirely with newly issued ordinary shares of Pubco, with each share valued at $10.00 (the “Per Share Price”).

As a result of the Mergers, (a) each of the ordinary shares of PSI that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger (the “First Merger Effective Time”) will be cancelled and converted into (i) the right to receive 90% of such number of ordinary shares of Pubco equal to the Exchange Ratio, and (ii) the contingent right to receive 10% of such number of ordinary shares of Pubco equal to the Exchange Ratio in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement and the Escrow Agreement (as defined below). Each AIB Ordinary Share that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Second Merger (the “Second Merger Effective Time”) shall be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive one Pubco Ordinary Share. Each issued and outstanding AIB Right shall be automatically converted into one-tenth of one Pubco Ordinary Share, provided that Pubco will not issue fractional shares in exchange for the AIB Rights.

Prior to the Closing, PSI shall deliver to AIB a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) setting forth a good faith calculation of PSI’s estimate of the Closing Net Debt, Net Working Capital and Transaction Expenses, and the resulting Aggregate Merger Consideration Amount and Company Merger Shares based on such estimates. Pubco, AIB Representative and Continental (or such other escrow agent mutually acceptable AIB and PSI), as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), will enter into an Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”), pursuant to which Pubco shall cause to be delivered to the Escrow Agent a number of Company Merger Shares equal in value to ten percent (10%) of the Aggregate Merger Consideration Amount otherwise issuable to PSI shareholders at the Closing based on the Estimated Closing Statement (together with any equity securities paid as dividends or distributions with respect to such shares or into which such shares are exchanged or converted, the “Escrow Shares”) to be held, along with any other dividends, distributions or other income on the Escrow Shares (together with the Escrow Shares, the “Escrow Property”), in a segregated escrow account (the “Escrow Account”). Within 90 days after the Closing, Pubco’s chief financial officer will deliver to AIB Representative a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth (i) a consolidated balance sheet of the Target Companies as of the Reference Time and (ii) a good faith calculation of the Closing Net Debt, Net Working Capital and Transaction Expenses, in each case, as of the Reference Time, and the resulting Aggregate Merger Consideration Amount and Company Merger Shares based on such estimates. If the Adjustment Amount is a positive number, then Pubco will issue to PSI shareholders an additional number of Pubco Ordinary Shares equal to (x) the Adjustment Amount, divided by (y) the Per Share Price, with each Company shareholder receiving its pro rata share of such additional Pubco Ordinary Shares, up to a maximum number of Pubco Ordinary Shares equal to the value of the Escrow Property in the Escrow Account at such time (with each Pubco Ordinary Share and Escrow Share valued at the Per Share Price for such purposes). If the Adjustment Amount is a negative number, then Pubco and AIB Representative will provide joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to distribute to Pubco a number of Escrow Shares (and, after distribution of all Escrow Shares, other Escrow Property) with a value equal to the absolute value of the Adjustment Amount (with each Escrow Share valued at the Per Share Price). Pubco will cancel any Escrow Shares distributed to it by the Escrow Agent and distribute the remainder (if any) to PSI shareholders, with each PSI shareholder receiving its pro rata share of such remaining Pubco Ordinary Shares.

Holders of record of AIB Ordinary Shares wishing to exercise such Dissent Rights and make a demand for payment of the fair value for his, her or its AIB Ordinary Shares must give written objection to the Mergers to AIB prior to the shareholder vote at the Meeting to approve the Mergers and follow the procedures set out in Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Act, noting that any such dissenter rights may subsequently be lost and extinguished pursuant to Section 239 of the Cayman Companies Act which states that no such dissenter rights shall be available in respect of shares of any class for which an open market exists on a recognized stock exchange or recognized interdealer quotation system at the expiry date of the period allowed for written notice of an election to dissent provided that the mergers consideration constitutes inter alia shares of any company which at the effective date of the merger are listed on a national securities exchange. If any AIB shareholder exercises Dissent Rights, then AIB and Pubco may elect to consummate the Merger after the expiry date of the period allowed for written notice of an election to dissent in order to invoke the exemption under Section 239 of the Cayman Companies Act, in which case dissenter rights will no longer be available. It is AIB’s view that such fair market value would equal the amount which shareholders would obtain if they exercised their redemption rights as described herein. An AIB shareholder which elects to exercise Dissent Rights must do so in respect of all of the AIB Ordinary Shares that person holds and will lose their right to exercise their redemption rights as described herein.

See “Extraordinary General Meeting of AIB Shareholders — Appraisal or Dissenters’ Rights.”

Proxy Solicitation

Proxies may be solicited by mail, telephone or in person. AIB has engaged Advantage Proxy to assist in the solicitation of proxies.

If a shareholder grants a proxy, it may still vote its shares in person (which would require presence at the virtual Meeting) if it revokes its proxy before the Meeting. A shareholder also may change its vote by submitting a later-dated proxy as described in the section titled “Extraordinary General Meeting of AIB Shareholders — Revoking Your Proxy.”

Interests of AIB’s Initial Shareholders and Advisors in the Business Combination

When you consider the recommendation of the AIB Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the Merger Proposal, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor and AIB’s directors and officers have interests in such Proposals that are different from, or in addition to, those of AIB shareholders generally. The existence of personal and financial interests of one or more of AIB’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he or they may believe is in the best interests of AIB and its shareholders and what he or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the Proposals. For additional information on the interests and relationships of AIB Initial Shareholders in the Business Combination, see “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of AIB’s Initial Shareholders and Advisors in the Business Combination,” and “Beneficial Ownership of AIB Securities Before the Business Combination.”

Recommendation to AIB Shareholders

AIB Board believes that each of the proposals to be presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting is fair to, and in the best interests of, AIB and unanimously recommends that its shareholders vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the Merger Proposal and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, if presented.

Certain Information Relating to Pubco and AIB

Listing of Pubco

Pubco will apply for listing, to be effective at the time of the Merger Closing, of Pubco Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq and expects to obtain clearance by DTC as promptly as practicable following the issuance thereof, subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the Closing Date.

Table of Contents

Delisting and Deregistration of AIB

If the Business Combination is completed, AIB Units, AIB Class A Ordinary Shares, and AIB Public Rights shall be delisted from Nasdaq and shall be deregistered under the Exchange Act.

Emerging Growth Company

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, Pubco will be an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. Pubco will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest to occur of (i) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the Closing, (b) in which Pubco has total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion or (c) in which Pubco is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of Pubco Ordinary Shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of Pubco’s prior second fiscal quarter, Pubco has been subject to Exchange Act reporting requirements for at least 12 calendar months; and filed at least one annual report, and (ii) the date on which Pubco issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period. Pubco intends to take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to most other public companies, whether or not they are classified as “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, an exemption from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that Pubco’s independent registered public accounting firm provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.

Furthermore, even after Pubco no longer qualifies as an “emerging growth company,” as long as Pubco continues to qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, Pubco will be exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies as further described below.

Foreign Private Issuer

Pubco is an exempted company limited by shares incorporated in 2023 under the laws of the Cayman Islands. After the consummation of the Business Combination, Pubco will report under the Exchange Act as a non-U.S. company with foreign private issuer status. Under Rule 405 of the Securities Act, the determination of foreign private issuer status is made annually on the last business day of an issuer’s most recently completed second fiscal quarter and, accordingly, the next determination will be made with respect to Pubco on June 30, 2024. For as long as Pubco qualifies as a foreign private issuer, it will be exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies, including:

• the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K with the SEC;

• the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents, or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act;

• the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their share ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time; and

• the selective disclosure rules by issuers of material nonpublic information under Regulation Fair Disclosure, or Regulation FD, which regulates selective disclosure of material non-public information by issuers.

Pubco will be required to file an annual report on Form 20-F within four months of the end of each fiscal year. In addition, Pubco intends to publish its results on a quarterly basis through press releases, distributed pursuant to the rules and regulations of Nasdaq. Press releases relating to financial results and material events will also be furnished to the SEC on Form 6-K. However, the information Pubco is required to file with or furnish to the SEC will be less extensive and less timely compared to that required to be filed with the SEC by U.S. domestic issuers. Accordingly, after the Business Combination, Pubco shareholders will receive less or different information about Pubco than a shareholder of a U.S. domestic public company would receive.

Table of Contents

Pubco is a non-U.S. company with foreign private issuer status, and, after the consummation of the Business Combination, will be listed on Nasdaq. Nasdaq market rules permit a foreign private issuer like Pubco to follow the corporate governance practices of its home country. Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands, which is Pubco’s home country, may differ significantly from Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards. Pubco may elect to follow home country practice in lieu of the following requirements:

• the requirement that a majority of the board of directors must be comprised of independent directors as defined in Nasdaq Rule 5605(a)(2);

• the requirement that each member of the compensation committee must be an independent director as set forth in Nasdaq Rule 5605(d)(2)(A);

• the requirement that director nomination should be made by a vote in which only independent directors participate or by a nominations committee comprised solely of independent directors as set forth in Nasdaq Rule 5605(e)(1);

• the requirement to obtain shareholder approval for certain issuances of securities, including shareholder approval of stock option plans;

• the requirement that the board of directors shall have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present as set forth in Nasdaq Rule 5605(b)(2); and

• the requirement that an annual shareholders meeting must be held no later than one year after the end of the fiscal year-end as set forth in Nasdaq Rule 5620(a).

Pubco expects to rely on certain of the exemptions listed above. As a result, you may not be provided with the benefits of certain corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq applicable to U.S. domestic public companies.

Controlled Company Status

After the completion of the Business Combination, Mr. Yee Kit Chan, the chairman of the board of directors of Pubco, will, assuming a no redemption scenario, control approximately 61.6% of the voting power of outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares (or 64.1% assuming a maximum redemption scenario). As a result, Pubco will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of applicable Nasdaq listing rules. Under these corporate governance standards, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with the following corporate governance standards (i) that a majority of its board of directors consist of independent directors, (ii) that its board of directors have a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities and (iii) that its board of directors have a nominating and corporate governance committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities. Upon Closing, Pubco expects to exempt from the requirements that a majority of the board of directors consists of independent directors, and that each of the nominating and corporate governance committee and the compensation committee is composed entirely of independent directors. Pending such determination, you may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of these corporate governance requirements. If Pubco ceases to be a “controlled company” and a “foreign private issuer” and its shares continue to be listed on Nasdaq, Pubco will be required to comply with these standards and, depending on the board’s independence determination with respect to its then-current directors, Pubco may be required to add additional directors to its board in order to achieve such compliance within the applicable transition periods.

Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

For a description of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination, the exercise of redemption rights in respect of AIB Ordinary Shares and the ownership and disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares, see the section entitled “Material Tax Considerations.”

Table of Contents

Anticipated Accounting Treatment

The Business Combination is made up of the series of transactions provided for in the Transaction Documents as described elsewhere within this proxy statement/prospectus. The Business Combination will be accounted for as a capital reorganization. Under this method of accounting, Pubco will be treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of PSI issuing shares at the Closing for the net assets of AIB as of the Closing Date, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of AIB will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded and operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of PSI. PSI has been determined to be the accounting acquiror for purposes of the Business Combination based on an evaluation of the following facts and circumstances. Notwithstanding the legal form, the Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP:

• PSI’s operations prior to the Business Combination will comprise the ongoing operations of Pubco;

• PSI’s existing senior management team will comprise all or majority of the senior management team of Pubco; and

• Yee Kit Chan is expected to have a majority of the voting power of Pubco.

Regulatory Matters

The Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are not subject to a closing condition that any additional federal, state or foreign regulatory requirement or approval be obtained, except for filings with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands necessary to effectuate the Business Combination contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, which will be filed by the registered agent of PSI on behalf of PSI and AIB with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands upon the approval of the Business Combination Proposal and satisfaction of all other conditions not waived by the applicable parties under the Business Combination Agreement.

On February 17, 2023, the CSRC promulgated the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (the “Trial Measures”) and five related guidelines, which came into force on March 31, 2023. The Trial Measures regulates overseas securities offering and listing activities by the PRC domestic companies, either in direct or indirect form. According to the Trial Measures, (i) PRC domestic companies that engage in overseas securities offering and listing activities, either in direct or indirect form, should fulfill the filing procedure and submit relevant information to the CSRC, (ii) direct overseas offering and listing by PRC domestic companies refers to such overseas offering and listing by a joint-stock company incorporated domestically, (iii) indirect overseas offering and listing by PRC domestic companies refers to such overseas offering and listing by a company in the name of an overseas incorporated entity, whereas the company’s major business operations are located in Mainland China and such offering and listing is based on the underlying equity, assets, earnings or other similar rights of a PRC company, and (iv) an overseas offering and listing made by an issuer that meets both the following conditions will be determined as an indirect form: (a) 50% or more of the issuer’s operating revenue, total profit, total assets or net assets as documented in its audited consolidated financial statements for the most recent accounting year is accounted for by PRC domestic companies, and (b) the main parts of the issuer’s business activities are conducted in Mainland China, or its main places of business are located in the Mainland China, or the senior managers in charge of its business operation and management are mostly Chinese citizens or domiciled in the Mainland China.

On December 28, 2021, the Cyberspace Administration of China (“CAC”) and other twelve PRC regulatory authorities jointly revised and promulgated the Cybersecurity Review Measures, which became effective on February 15, 2022. Pursuant to the Cybersecurity Review Measures, network platform operators holding over one million users’ personal information shall apply with the Cybersecurity Review Office for a cybersecurity review before listing in a foreign country. Further, on November 14, 2021, the CAC published Regulations on Cyber Data Security Management (Draft for Comments), or the Draft Regulations on Cyber Data Security Management, for public comments, which have not become effective or been formally implemented.

PSI’s PRC Legal Advisor, Grandall Law Firm (Beijing), is of the opinion that PSI is not required to obtain any licenses, approvals or prior permission from any PRC governmental authorities (including the CSRC and the CAC) to consummate the Business Combination or to list on a U.S. stock exchange, given that, among others, PSI currently does not own or control, directly or indirectly, any domestic assets, interests or domestic operating entities in Mainland China or operate any business in Mainland China.

Table of Contents

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, PSI did not receive any inquiry, notice, warning, sanctions or regulatory objection to the Business Combination from the CSRC, the CAC or any other PRC governmental authorities. However, applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations of the PRC may change or PSI could be mistaken about the applicability of these rules, and the relevant PRC government agencies could reach a different conclusion and may subject PSI (or Pubco following the consummation of the Business Combination) to a stringent approval process from the relevant government entities in connection with the Business Combination, continued listing on a U.S. stock exchange, the issuance of shares or the maintenance of PSI (or Pubco) status as a publicly listed company outside China. If Pubco, PSI or any of PSI’s subsidiaries does not receive or maintain permission or approval from the CSRC, the CAC or any other governmental or regulatory body, in the event that (i) such entity inadvertently concludes that such permissions or approvals are not required, (ii) applicable laws, regulations or interpretations change such that such entity is required to obtain such permissions or approvals in the future, or (iii) the CSRC, the CAC, or any other governmental or regulatory body subsequently determines that its approval is needed for the Business Combination, or maintaining Pubco’s status as a publicly listed company outside China, then, PSI (or Pubco following the Business Combination) may face approval delays, adverse actions or sanctions by the CSRC, the CAC and/or other PRC regulatory agencies, which may materially adversely affect Pubco’s operations. In addition, Pubco may not be able to continue listing on Nasdaq or another U.S. stock exchange following the Business Combination, or offer its securities to investors. All of the foregoing may materially adversely affect the value of Pubco securities and investors could lose all or part of their investment.

Transfer of Cash to and from the Operating Subsidiaries

Cash is transferred through PSI’s organization in the following manner: (i) funds may be transferred from PSI to the Operating Subsidiaries in Hong Kong through PSI’s BVI subsidiaries in the form of capital contributions or shareholder loans, as the case may be; and (ii) dividends or other distributions may be paid by the Operating Subsidiaries to PSI through its BVI subsidiaries. As a holding company without any operations of its own, PSI relies on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by the Operating Subsidiaries for its cash and financing requirements. In November 2023, PSI declared and made dividends in the amount of approximately $4.0 million to its shareholders and assigned its Operating Subsidiary to pay out such dividends. Except for this, for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, PSI did not declare or make any dividends or other distribution to its shareholders, including U.S. investors, nor were any dividends or distributions made by the Operating Subsidiaries to PSI. In addition, PSI does not intend to distribute earnings or pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future to settle amounts or otherwise. Instead, the Operating Subsidiaries generate and retain cash generated from operating activities and re-invest it in their respective businesses. There are currently no restrictions on foreign exchange and the ability of PSI or its subsidiaries to transfer cash between entities, across borders, and to U.S. investors under the laws of the Cayman Islands, BVI and Hong Kong. Further, subject to PSI having sufficient legally available funds and is able to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business, there are no restrictions or limitations under the laws of Cayman Islands on the payment of dividends by PSI to its shareholders. There are also no restrictions or limitations under the laws of the BVI on the distribution of earnings from a subsidiary to the parent company or investors, so long as the value of the assets of the BVI subsidiary declaring the dividends will exceed its liabilities and the BVI subsidiary will be able to pay its debts as they fall due. Similarly, there are no restrictions or limitations under the laws of Hong Kong on the distribution of the available profits from a Hong Kong subsidiary to the parent company or investors. In addition, dividend payments are not subject to withholding tax in Cayman Islands, BVI or Hong Kong. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the ability of the Operating Subsidiaries to pay dividends to PSI (or Pubco following the Business Combination) may be restricted by the debt they incur on their own behalf. For additional information, see “Risk Factors — Risk Related to PSI’s Corporate Structure — We rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by the Operating Subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, and any limitation on the ability of the Operating Subsidiaries to make payments to us could have a material adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business.”

Summary of Risk Factor

In evaluating the proposals to be presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting of the shareholders of AIB, a shareholder should carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus and especially consider the factors discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 49 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

The consummation of the Business Combination and the business and financial condition of Pubco subsequent to the Closing are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in the section title “Risk Factors.” The occurrence of one or more of the events or circumstances described below, alone or in combination with

Table of Contents

other events or circumstances, may adversely affect AIB’s ability to effect the Business Combination, and may have an adverse effect on the business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations of AIB prior to the Business Combination and that of Pubco subsequent to the Business Combination. These risks include, among other things, the following:

Risks Related to PSI’s Business and Industry, beginning on page 49

• PSI derives a significant portion of its revenue from few major customers with whom PSI does not enter into long-term contracts, the loss of one or more of which could have a material adverse effect on its business.

• The demand for PSI’s services is easily affected by unpredictable factors, and its results of operations are affected by changes in the global and regional economic conditions and the international trading volumes.

• A decrease in the level of Mainland China’s export of goods could have a material adverse effect on PSI’s business.

• There can be no assurance that Hong Kong will continue to maintain its position as a significant air cargo hub in Asia.

• Fluctuations in the price of cargo space could have adverse impact on PSI’s results of operations.

• PSI’s profitability is susceptible to the volatility and uncertainties in demand and supply for cargo space.

• There may be disintermediation in the freight forwarding industry in the future.

• PSI’s revenue is subject to seasonal fluctuations, PSI’s results for different periods in any given financial year may not be relied upon as indicators of its performance.

• PSI generally does not enter into any long-term contracts with its customers and PSI may not be able to maintain a stable source of revenue generated from the freight forwarding business.

• PSI is dependent on its customers’ business performance, especially its freight forwarder customer, and their continuing demand for international freight forwarding services.

• The freight forwarding industries in which PSI operates are susceptible to risk of changes in shipping policies which could have direct adverse impact on PSI’s business, results of operations and profits.

• PSI faces risks associated with the items it delivers and the contents of shipments and inventories handled through its service network as it may fail to identify shipments which carry goods of dangerous or illicit nature.

• Any lack of requisite licenses, certificate, permits applicable to the business operation may have a material and adverse impact on PSI’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

• PSI is dependent on its suppliers, and any disruption, non-performance and delayed performance of these suppliers may adversely affect PSI’s operations and substantially impact its financial results.

• PSI’s business is dependent on its major operational facility. It does not own any real properties and it leases a number of properties for its business operations. Therefore, PSI is exposed to risks in relation to unpredictable and increasing rental costs and relocation costs.

• PSI’s profitability may be materially adversely impacted if its investments in equipment, logistic center/warehouses, and IT infrastructure do not match customer demand for these resources or if there is a decline in the availability of funding sources for these investments.

• PSI’s net cash outflow from operating activities may affect its liquidity.

• PSI may not be able to maintain its historical growth rates or gross profit margins, and its operating results may fluctuate significantly. If PSI’s results fall below market expectations, the trading price of Pubco securities following the consummation of the Business Combination may be affected.

Table of Contents

• PSI may suffer losses from credit exposures and counterparty risks.

• PSI may be subject to litigation and regulatory investigations and proceedings and may not always be successful in defending ourselves against such claims or proceedings.

• Any negative publicity with respect to PSI, the Operating Subsidiaries, PSI’s directors, officers, employees, shareholders, or other beneficial owners, its peers, business partners, or its industry in general, may materially and adversely affect its reputation, business, and results of operations.

• PSI may not be able to obtain finance from time to time to fund its operations and maintain growth.

• Uncertainties relating to the growth and profitability of the e-Commerce industry could adversely affect PSI’s revenues and business prospect.

• PSI’s growth prospects may be limited if it does not successfully implement its future plans and growth strategy.

• PSI may grow, in part, through acquisitions, which involve various risks, and it may not be able to identify or acquire companies consistent with its growth strategy or successfully integrate acquired businesses into its operations.

• PSI is dependent on its senior management team and other key employees, and the loss of any such personnel could materially and adversely affect its business, operating results and financial condition.

• Increasing labor cost and labor shortage in PSI’s industry may affect its business, financial conditions and results of operations.

• The freight forwarding industry in which PSI operates is highly fragmented and competitive and there can be no assurance that it can compete successfully in the future and adequately address the downward pricing pressure.

• If PSI’s merchant and non-freight forwarders customers are able to reduce their logistics and supply chain costs or increase utilization of their internal solutions, its business and operating results may be materially and adversely affected.

• Volatility in fuel prices, shortages of fuel or the ineffectiveness of PSI’s fuel surcharge program can have a material adverse effect on its results of operations and profitability.

• Natural disasters, acts of God, wars, epidemics and other events may adversely affect PSI’s business operations, financial condition and results of operations.

• PSI’s business, results of operations and financial condition have experienced major challenges by the coronavirus pandemic, especially its supply chain and capacity to provide freight forwarding services were once disrupted by the resultant lockdown of the pandemic, it may encounter similar challenges and interruptions if such severe pandemic occurs again.

• If PSI fails to maintain its information technology systems, or if it fails to successfully implement new technology or enhancements, it may be at a competitive disadvantage and experience a decrease in revenues.

• PSI’s business is subject to cybersecurity risks. A cyberattack may disrupt its operations and compromise the personal data of its customers.

• Failure to comply with cybersecurity, data privacy, data protection, or any other laws and regulations related to data may materially and adversely affect PSI’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

• PSI cannot assure that the insurance policies it has taken out are always able to cover all losses it sustains during the course of its business operations.

• Fluctuations in exchange rates could result in foreign currency exchange losses, which may adversely affect PSI’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Table of Contents

• PSI may be affected by the currency peg system in Hong Kong.

• PSI’s business is subject to various laws and regulations around the world; failure to comply with these provisions, as well as any adverse changes in applicable laws and regulations, may restrict or prevent PSI from doing business in certain countries or jurisdictions, require it to incur additional costs in operating its business or otherwise materially adversely affect its business.

Risks Related to Doing Business in the Jurisdictions in Which PSI’s Operating Subsidiaries Operate, beginning on page 64

• All of PSI’s operations are located in Hong Kong. PRC laws and regulations in general are not applicable or enforceable in Hong Kong. However, due to the potential long arm application of these laws and regulations, the PRC government may exercise significant direct oversight and discretion over the conduct of PSI’s business and may intervene or influence its operations, which could result in a material change in PSI’s operations and/or the value of its ordinary shares (or Pubco Ordinary Shares following the Closing). The Operating Subsidiaries may be subject to laws and regulations of Mainland China, which may impair PSI’s ability to operate profitably and result in a material negative impact on its operations and/or the value of its ordinary shares (or Pubco Ordinary Shares following the Closing). Furthermore, the changes in the policies, regulations, rules, and the enforcement of laws of the PRC may also occur quickly with little advance notice and PSI’s assertions and beliefs of the risk imposed by the PRC legal and regulatory system cannot be certain.

The laws and regulations in Mainland China are evolving, and their enactment timetable, interpretation, enforcement, and implementation involve significant uncertainties, and may change quickly with little advance notice, along with the risk that the PRC government may intervene or influence the Operating Subsidiaries’ operations at any time could result in a material change in PSI’s operations and/or the value of its securities or could significantly limit or completely hinder your ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless. Moreover, there are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of Mainland China laws and regulations including, but not limited to, the laws and regulations related to PSI’s business and the enforcement and performance of its arrangements with customers in certain circumstances. The laws and regulations are sometimes vague and may be subject to future changes, and their official interpretation and enforcement may involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness and interpretation of newly enacted laws or regulations, including amendments to existing laws and regulations, may be delayed, and PSI’s business may be affected if PSI relies on laws and regulations which are subsequently adopted or interpreted in a manner different from its understanding of these laws and regulations. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively. PSI cannot predict what effect the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations may have on its business.

• PSI’s business, financial condition and results of operations, and/or the value of its ordinary shares (or Pubco Ordinary Shares following the Closing) or its ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors may be materially and adversely affected by existing or future laws and regulations of Mainland China which may become applicable to Hong Kong and thus to company such as PSI.

In addition, the Chinese government may intervene or influence PSI’s operations at any time, or may exert oversight and control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in Hong Kong based issuers that are not PRC domestic companies, which could result in a material change in its operations and/or the value of PSI’s ordinary shares (or Pubco Ordinary Shares following the Closing). Any of the foregoing could significantly limit or completely hinder PSI’s (or Pubco’s) ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.

• The Hong Kong legal system embodies uncertainties which could limit the legal protections available to the Operating Subsidiaries.

• Trade war or restrictions, whether in form of embargo, tariff, or otherwise, effected between two or more countries, including the risks arising from recent events between the PRC and the United States, could materially and adversely affect PSI’s business, financial condition and results of operation.

Table of Contents

• Changes and the downturn in the economic, political, or social conditions of Hong Kong, Mainland China and other countries or changes to the government policies of Hong Kong and Mainland China could have a material adverse effect on PSI’s business and operations.

• Termination of the U.S.-Hong Kong International Shipping Agreement may have an adverse effect on PSI’s ocean freight forwarding services and results of operations.

See “Risks Related to Doing Business in the Jurisdictions in Which PSI’s Operating Subsidiaries Operate” for additional information regarding the risks associated with PSI’s operations in Hong Kong.

Risk Related to PSI’s Corporate Structure, beginning on page 68

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

• Cayman Islands economic substance requirements may have an effect on PSI’s business and operations.

• PSI relies on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by the Operating Subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements PSI may have, and any limitation on the ability of the Operating Subsidiaries to make payments to PSI could have a material adverse effect on PSI’s ability to conduct its business.

• PSI’s controlling shareholder has substantial influence over PSI. His interests may not be aligned with the interests of PSI’s other shareholders, and it could prevent or cause a change of control or other transactions.

Risks Related to Taxation, beginning on page 70

• If Pubco is characterized as a passive foreign investment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes, its U.S. shareholders may suffer adverse tax consequences.

• Future changes to tax laws could materially and adversely affect Pubco and reduce net returns to Pubco’s shareholders.

Risks Related to AIB and the Business Combination, beginning on page 71

• The Business Combination is subject to conditions, including certain conditions that may not be satisfied on a timely basis, if at all.

• The ability of AIB Public Shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to AIB Public Shares may prevent AIB from completing the Business Combination or maximizing its capital structure.

• AIB’s Sponsor controls a substantial interest in AIB and thus may exert a substantial influence as to whether the Proposals presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal and the Merger Proposal, are approved, potentially in a manner that AIB Public Shareholders do not support.

• Since the Sponsor and AIB’s directors and officers have interests that are different, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), the interests of AIB shareholders, a conflict of interest may have existed in determining whether the Business Combination with PSI is appropriate as AIB’s initial business combination. Such interests include that the Sponsor will lose its entire investment in AIB if the business combination is not completed.

• The exercise of AIB’s directors’ and executive officers’ discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the Business Combination may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the Business Combination or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in AIB shareholders’ best interest.

• AIB and PSI will incur significant transaction and transition costs in connection with the Business Combination.

• The announcement of the proposed Business Combination could disrupt PSI’s relationships with its suppliers, business partners and others, as well as its operating results and business generally.

Table of Contents

• The Business Combination may disrupt PSI’s current business plans and operations and may cause difficulties in retaining its employees.

• Subsequent to the consummation of the Business Combination, Pubco may be exposed to unknown or contingent liabilities and 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 AIB shareholders to lose some or all of your investment.

• AIB does not have a specified maximum redemption threshold. The absence of such a redemption threshold may make it possible for AIB to complete the Business Combination with which a substantial majority of AIB shareholders do not agree.

• AIB Initial Shareholders have agreed to vote their AIB Ordinary Shares in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how AIB Public Shareholders vote.

• The Insider Letter Agreement may be amended without shareholder approval.

• The Sponsor, AIB’s directors, officers, advisors, and their affiliates may elect to purchase AIB Public Shares prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, which may influence the vote on the Business Combination and reduce the public “float” of AIB Ordinary Shares.

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

• If third parties bring claims against AIB, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $11.66 per share (based on the Trust Account balance as of March 31, 2024).

• Past performance by any member or members of AIB’s management team or the Sponsor or any of their respective affiliates may not be indicative of future performance of an investment in AIB or PSI.

• Nasdaq suspended AIB’s securities from trading on its exchange prior to the Business Combination, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in AIB’s securities and subject AIB to additional trading restrictions.

• The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated if AIB Class A Ordinary Shares become delisted from Nasdaq and are not relisted on the Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange within 60 days after such delisting.

• AIB shareholders will experience immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of Ordinary Shares as consideration in the Business Combination and due to future issuances, including pursuant to the 2024 Plan of Pubco. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that AIB’s current shareholders have on the management of AIB.

• AIB’s and PSI’s ability to consummate the Business Combination, and the operations of Pubco following the Business Combination, may be materially adversely affected by the recent coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

• If AIB requires AIB Public Shareholders who wish to redeem their AIB Public Shares to comply with the delivery requirements for redemption, such shareholders may be unable to sell their securities when they wish to if the Business Combination is not approved.

• AIB shareholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against AIB to the extent of distributions received by them upon redemption of their shares.

• Redemptions in connection with the January 2023 Extension and October 2023 Extension make it more difficult for AIB to complete a Business Combination.

Table of Contents

Risks Related to Redemption, beginning on page 85

• AIB Public Shareholders who wish to redeem their AIB Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account must comply with specific requirements for redemption that may make it more difficult for them to exercise their redemption rights prior to the deadline. If AIB shareholders fail to comply with the redemption requirements specified in this proxy statement/prospectus, they will not be entitled to redeem their AIB Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account.

• Investors may not have sufficient time to comply with the delivery requirements associated with exercise of their redemption rights.

• If an AIB Public Shareholder fails to receive notice of AIB’s offer to redeem AIB Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination or fails to comply with the procedures required to redeem its shares, such shares may not be redeemed.

• If a Public Shareholder or a “group” of AIB Public Shareholders are deemed to hold in excess of 15% of the AIB Public Shares, that Public Shareholder or AIB Public Shareholders will lose the ability to redeem all such shares in excess of 15% of the AIB Public Shares, absent AIB’s consent.

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

Risks if the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved, beginning on page 86

• If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved, and an insufficient number of votes have been obtained to authorize the consummation of the Business Combination, the AIB Board will not have the ability to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates in order to solicit further votes, and, therefore, the Business Combination will not be approved, and the Business Combination may not be consummated.

Risks if the Business Combination is Not Consummated, beginning on page 87

• AIB may not be able to consummate an initial business combination within the required time period, in which case AIB would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and AIB would redeem the AIB Public Shares and liquidate unless the Sponsor contributes additional capital to AIB, which the Sponsor is not obligated to do.

• If AIB has not completed its initial business combination, AIB Public Shareholders may be forced to wait until after January 21, 2025 (or a later date, if the deadline for AIB to complete its initial business combination is extended by an amendment to the Current Charter) before redemption from the Trust Account.

• AIB Public Shareholders have limited rights or interests in funds in the Trust Account. For AIB Public Shareholders to liquidate their investment, therefore, they may be forced to sell Public Securities, potentially at a loss.

• The SEC has issued final rules and guidance relating to certain activities of special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”). The need for compliance with these rules and guidance may cause AIB to liquidate at an earlier time than it might otherwise choose.

• If AIB is deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, it would be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and its activities would be severely restricted. As a result, in such circumstances, unless AIB is able to modify its activities so that it would not be deemed an investment company, it may abandon its efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead liquidate.

• To mitigate the risk that AIB might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, on February 6, 2024, AIB instructed the trustee to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank until the earlier of the consummation of its initial business combination or liquidation. As a result, AIB may receive less interest on the funds held in the Trust Account than the interest it would have received pursuant to its original Trust Account investments, which could reduce the dollar amount AIB Public Shareholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation.

Table of Contents

• Provisions in AIB’s Current Charter and Cayman Islands law may inhibit a takeover of AIB, which could limit the price investors might be willing to pay in the future for AIB Class A Ordinary Shares and could entrench management.

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

• AIB may qualify as a passive foreign investment company, or “PFIC,” which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. investors.

• Because AIB is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, AIB Public Shareholders may face difficulties in protecting their interests, and their ability to protect their rights through the U.S. Federal courts may be limited.

• AIB has devoted substantial time and expense to its evaluation and negotiation of the Business Combination neither of which can be recouped if the Business Combination is not consummated. Further, AIB may not be able to obtain additional financing and researching alternative acquisitions that are not consummated will require additional time and expenditures, all of which could materially adversely affect subsequent attempts to locate and acquire or merge with another business.

• AIB may be unable to obtain additional financing to complete its initial business combination or to fund the operations and growth of a target business, which could compel AIB to restructure or abandon a particular business combination. If AIB is unable to complete its initial business combination, AIB Public Shareholders may only receive $11.66 per share or potentially less than $11.66 per share on AIB’s redemption, and the rights will expire worthless.

• If the Business Combination is not consummated, AIB Public Shareholders may not be afforded an opportunity to vote on AIB’s proposed initial business combination, which means AIB may complete its initial business combination even though a majority of the AIB Public Shareholders do not support such a combination.

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

• If, after AIB distributes the proceeds in the Trust Account to its AIB Public Shareholders, AIB files a winding-up or bankruptcy petition or an involuntary winding-up or bankruptcy petition is filed against AIB that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy court may seek to recover such proceeds, and AIB and its board of directors may be exposed to claims of punitive damages.

• AIB may pursue acquisition opportunities in any geographic region and in any business industry or sector and, if the Business Combination fails, AIB may pursue an initial business combination involved in a sector with which AIB’s management team has limited or no prior familiarity or expertise. AIB securityholders may be unable to ascertain the merits or risks of any particular target business’ operations and AIB may pursue an initial business combination that is not in the best interests of AIB shareholders.

• AIB may not be able to complete the Business Combination with PSI if the Business Combination may be subject to review or approval by regulatory authorities pursuant to certain U.S. or foreign laws or regulations, or ultimately prohibited.

Risks Related to Pubco and Ownership of Pubco’s Shares, beginning on page 93

• PSI’s management has no experience in operating a public company.

• Failure to timely and effectively build Pubco’s accounting systems to effectively implement controls and procedures required by Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on Pubco’s business.

Table of Contents

• The recent joint statement by the SEC and PCAOB, proposed rule changes submitted by Nasdaq, and the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “HFCAA”) all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to emerging market companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors, especially the non-U.S. auditors who are not inspected by the PCAOB. These developments could add uncertainties to the proposed Business Combination. In the event it is later determined that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely Pubco’s auditor following consummation of the Business Combination, then such lack of inspection could cause trading in Pubco’s securities to be prohibited under the HFCAA, and ultimately result in a determination by a securities exchange to delist Pubco’s securities.

• The price of Pubco securities may be volatile, and the value of Pubco securities may decline.

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

• If Pubco does not meet the expectations of equity research analysts, if they do not publish research reports about Pubco’s business or if they issue unfavorable commentary or downgrade Pubco’s securities, the price of Pubco’s securities could decline.

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

• Pubco does not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, and as a result, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of Pubco Ordinary Shares.

• Pubco is an “emerging growth company,” and it cannot be certain if the reduced reporting and disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make its securities less attractive to investors.

• Pubco will be a foreign private issuer, and as a result, it will not be subject to U.S. proxy rules and will be subject to Exchange Act reporting obligations that, to some extent, are more lenient and less frequent than those of a U.S. domestic public company.

• As Pubco is a “foreign private issuer” and intends to follow certain home country corporate governance practices, its shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.

• Pubco may lose its foreign private issuer status in the future, which could result in significant additional costs and expenses.

• Pubco will incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and its management will be required to devote substantial time to compliance with its public company responsibilities and corporate governance practices.

• As a result of being a public company, Pubco is obligated to develop and maintain proper and effective internal controls over financial reporting, and any failure to maintain the adequacy of these internal controls may adversely affect investor confidence in Pubco and, as a result, the value of its securities.

• Pubco does not intend to make any determinations on whether it or its non-U.S. subsidiaries are controlled foreign corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

• Pubco may be subject to securities litigation, which is expensive and could divert management attention.

• The Amended Pubco Charter designate specific courts in Cayman Islands and the United States as the exclusive forum for certain litigation that may be initiated by the holders of Pubco Ordinary Shares or other securities, which could limit their ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with Pubco.

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

• Nasdaq may not list Pubco’s securities on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in Pubco’s securities and subject Pubco to additional trading restrictions.

Table of Contents

• Pubco’s corporate actions that require shareholder approval will be substantially controlled by its controlling shareholder, Mr. Yee Kit Chan, who will have significant influence over such matters, and their interests may not be aligned with the interest of other shareholders.

• You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through U.S. courts may be limited as Pubco is incorporated under the law of the Cayman Islands. Following the consummation of the Business Combination, all of Pubco’s operations will be located, and all of its directors and executive officers will reside, outside of the United States.

• Pubco may be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing rules and, as a result, may rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements that provide protection to shareholders of other companies. If Pubco relies on these exemptions, you will not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to such requirements.

Before a shareholder grants its proxy, instructs how its vote should be cast or votes on the Business Combination Proposal, the Merger Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal, it should be aware that the occurrence of the events described in the “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus may adversely affect AIB, Pubco and/or PSI.

Table of Contents

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this proxy statement/prospectus, before you decide whether to vote or instruct your vote to be cast to approve the proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus. Certain of the following risk factors apply to the business and operations of PSI and will also apply to the business and operations of Pubco following the completion of the Business Combination. The occurrence of one or more of the events or circumstances described in these risk factors, alone or in combination with other events or circumstances, may adversely affect the ability to complete or realize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, and may have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects and trading price of Pubco’s securities following the Business Combination. The risks discussed below may not prove to be exhaustive and are based on certain assumptions made by Pubco, AIB and PSI, which later may prove to be incorrect or incomplete. Pubco, AIB and PSI may face additional risks and uncertainties that are not presently known to them, or that are currently deemed immaterial, but which may also ultimately have an adverse effect on any such party.

Risks Related to PSI’s Business and Industry

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this subsection to “we,” “us” or “our” refer to the business of PSI and its subsidiaries prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, which will be the business of Pubco and its subsidiaries following the consummation of the Business Combination.

We derive a significant portion of our revenue from few major customers with whom we do not enter into long-term contracts, the loss of one or more of which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our top five customers collectively accounted for approximately 62.2%, 72.6% and 75.0% of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023. Furthermore, we generated a significant portion of our revenues from a single largest customer, Yanwen Logistics Co., Ltd (formerly known as “Beijing Yanwen Logistics Co., Ltd”) (“Yanwen Express”), for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023, respectively, which accounted for 40.5%, 59.7% and 69.3% of our total revenues respectively. The average accounts receivable turnover days were 52 days and 41 days as of December 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively. The average accounts receivables turnover was 52 days as of December 31, 2022 mainly caused by accounts receivable from our largest customer, which accounted for 74.7% of our total accounts receivables as of period end, reflecting the operational challenges across the freight forwarding industry in 2022. As of December 31, 2023, the turnover days reduced to 41 days, as a result of improved revenue positions for the period and returning to a more normal business trajectory, indicating a favorable trend of our liquidity.

Loss of business from major customers could reduce our revenues and significantly harm our business, based on a number of factors other than our performance, such as: industry trends related to e-Commerce that may apply downward pricing pressures on the rates our customers can charge; the seasonality associated with the fourth quarter holiday season; business combinations and the overall growth of a customer’s underlying business; and any disruptions to our customers’ businesses. Furthermore, if we experience difficulties in the collection of our accounts receivables from our major customers, our results of operation may be materially and adversely affected. These customers could choose to divert all or a portion of their business with us to one of our competitors, demand pricing concessions for our services, require us to provide enhanced services that increase our costs, or develop their own shipping and distribution capabilities.

We expect that we will continue to depend on a relatively small number of customers for a significant portion of our revenue and may continue to experience fluctuations in the distribution of the revenue among our largest customers. The volume of sale to specific customers is likely to vary from year to year, especially since we do not have long-term commitments from any of our customers to purchase our services. A major customer in one year may not provide the same level of revenues for us in any subsequent year.

The demand for our services is easily affected by unpredictable factors, and our results of operations are affected by changes in the global and regional economic conditions and the international trading volumes.

A significant majority of our revenue is generated from air freight export from Hong Kong and Mainland China and organizing shipments primarily to Europe, Asia, Southeast Asia and North America. Our results of operations are thus affected by global trade volume and export volume of Hong Kong. We are sensitive to changes in regional

Table of Contents

and/or global political and economic conditions that impact customer shipping volumes, industry freight demand and demand for cargo space. The transportation industry historically has experienced cyclical fluctuations due to economic recession, level of international trade activities, downturns in business cycles of our customers, interest and currency rate fluctuations, inflation, trade restrictions, economic sanctions, trade disputes, boycotts, outbreak of wars, changes in regulatory regimes and extreme weather conditions, all of which are beyond our control and the nature, timing and degree of which are largely unpredictable. Any decrease in demand for our services due to cyclical downturns could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

A decrease in the level of Mainland China’s export of goods could have a material adverse effect on our business.

A significant portion of our business originates from the customers in Mainland China and therefore depends on the level of imports and exports to and from Mainland China. Any adverse economic or social developments in Mainland China could lead to a general decline in consumption and a slowdown in international trade, which could have a significant impact on our businesses. In addition, an economic slowdown around the world and the shifting of outsourced manufacturing activities away from Mainland China, for example due to a “China plus One” strategy on behalf of outsourcers to reduce supply chain concentration, could have a significant impact on our international freight forwarding business.

Furthermore, the level of imports to and exports from Mainland China could be adversely affected by the changes in political, economic and social conditions or other relevant policies of the Chinese government. As Mainland China exports considerably more goods than it imports, any reduction in or hindrance to China-based exports, whether due to decreased demand from the rest of the world, an economic slowdown in Mainland China, seasonal decrease in manufacturing levels due to the Chinese New Year holiday or other factors, could have a material adverse effect on our business. In recent years, Mainland China has experienced an increasing level of economic autonomy. The “Dual Circulation” with the emphasis on “Internal Circulation” strategy became a key priority in the Chinese Government’s Fourteenth Five-Year Plan, signaling that Mainland China wants to reduce the role of international trade in its economy and its dependence on overseas markets. The Internal Circulation strategy may have the effect of reducing the imports to Mainland China and may, in turn, result in decreased demand for cargo shipping to Mainland China. Furthermore, the Chinese government’s economic policies which aimed at increasing domestic consumption of Chinese-made goods may have also the effect of reducing the supply of goods available for export and may, in turn, also result in decreased demand for export cargo shipping.

These factors could have a negative impact on the outbound activities of international freight forwarding from Mainland China. If Mainland China experiences slower growth or a decline in exports, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

There can be no assurance that Hong Kong will continue to maintain its position as a significant air cargo hub in Asia.

Our Operating Subsidiaries operate out of Hong Kong. As a significant air cargo hub in Asia, Hong Kong is well-positioned to foster a high demand for cargo space on outbound routes from Hong Kong to other destinations in Asia. There can be no assurance that Hong Kong will continue to maintain such position. For example, Shanghai, China, shares the same cargo catchment area in the Pearl River Delta region, while Singapore shares the same positioning as a regional hub for intra-Asia trade and as a logistics center. In the event that Hong Kong loses its position as a transportation hub in Asia, the demand for our freight forwarding services and ancillary logistics services and thus our business, financial condition and results of operations, may be adversely affected.

Fluctuations in the price of cargo space could have adverse impact on our results of operations.

Fluctuation in the price of cargo space will affect our total cost of revenue directly and thus the freight forwarding services fee charged to our customers as our pricing for freight forwarding services is determined on a cost-plus approach, which in turn affects our gross profit. Our results of operations are significantly affected by the air and ocean freight charges cost, which accounted for approximately 89.9%, 83.7% and 81.4% of our total cost of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023, respectively. The profitability of our freight forwarding services is correlated with the fluctuation of freight forwarding services fee charged to our customers. If we cannot pass on the cost of the cargo space in full to our customers, our results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

Table of Contents

In the course of business, we enter into certain block space arrangements and aircraft charter arrangements with the suppliers whereby we are committed to paying for the agreed cargo space irrespective of whether we can fully utilize the allotted space. There have been occasions when we have provided cargo space to customers at a rate lower than our cost of freight and there can be no assurance that this will not occur again in the future. Should the prevailing market rates of cargo space at the time when we charge to our customers fall below our cost of freight, we may not be able to increase the freight forwarding services fee in order to pass on in full the cost of freight to our customers and our results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

Our profitability is susceptible to the volatility and uncertainties in demand and supply for cargo space.

The freight service fee we charge our customers is based on our assessment of, among other things, the demand and supply for cargo space, prevailing market rate and air cargo space price index. Our profitability could be also negatively impacted if our pricing strategy proves to be inaccurate. If we are incorrect in our assumptions and do not accurately calculate or assess the costs to us to provide our services, we could experience lower margins than anticipated, loss of business, or be unable to offer competitive products and services.

We procure the supply of cargo space through direct booking, block space arrangements and aircraft charter arrangements, based on our estimation regarding the existing and anticipated customer demand. Pursuant to the block space arrangements and aircraft charter agreements, we are committed to paying the agreed cargo space irrespective of whether we fully utilize the allotted space. If we cannot efficiently utilize the air cargo space allocated to us under the block space agreements and aircraft charter agreements with our airline partners, we may not be able to fully recover the costs of the relevant cargo space, and our results of operations may suffer.

If we cannot fully utilize the cargo space we have sourced, i.e., when the actual customers’ demand for the cargo space is less than the amount of cargo space we sourced, we have to sell excess cargo space. We cannot assure that there will not be instances where, for example, due to (a) departure timetable of the aircraft or vessel; (b) popularity of the route; or (c) seasonality factors, we are unable to fully consolidate/co-load all the excess cargo space we purchased from our suppliers. In case we cannot fully utilize the cargo space we obtained from our suppliers, we may have to bear the costs of all the excess cargo space we purchased and our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.

In the event that the actual customers’ demand for the cargo space is higher than the amount of cargo space we have, we have to source the cargo space, by direct booking, from our suppliers, including airlines and other freight forwarders, at prevailing market rates. Should the freight forwarding services fee we charge to our customers fall below the prevailing market rates of cargo space, we may not be able to increase the services fee in order to pass on in full the cost of freight to our customers and our results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. Furthermore, since cargo space offered by our suppliers through direct booking is subject to the availability of their aircraft or vessels and normally on a first-come-first-served basis, without the guaranteed supply of cargo space by existing agreement, there is no assurance that we will be able to source sufficient cargo space to meet our customers’ demands within the expected time frame and at favorable price, in particular during peak seasons. If we cannot obtain sufficient cargo space from our suppliers to meet our customers’ demands, our reputation within the network of industry players and our results of operations could be adversely affected.

There may be disintermediation in the freight forwarding industry in the future.

In light of the trend of digitization, huge amount of product information is available on the internet and as a result of information transparency and other innovative technologies (such as online marketplaces, electronic payments, algorithmic order-matching), manufacturers and retailers are working on reducing the number of intermediaries in the supply chain by shipping directly to end customers in order to reduce costs in the process. As a freight forwarder, we are one such supply chain intermediary. The trend of eliminating intermediaries creates disintermediation in our industry. Any significant decrease in demand for our freight forwarding and related logistics services due to disintermediation in our industry could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our revenue is subject to seasonal fluctuations, our results for different periods in any given financial year may not be relied upon as indicators of our performance.

Our peak season is generally from October to December which is driven by festive events and discount promotions such as Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Moreover, we record relatively lower volume of shipment and thus relatively lower revenue during Lunar New Year (normally in January or February) owing to lower

Table of Contents

business activities from manufacturers and shippers in Mainland China in Lunar New Year, resulting in a decrease in the demand for freight forwarding services. Accordingly, comparison of sales and operating results from different periods in any given financial year may not be relied upon as indicators of our performance. It is widely understood in the industry that these seasonal trends are influenced by a number of factors, including weather patterns, national holidays, economic conditions, consumer demand, major product launches, as well as a number of other market forces. Since many of these forces are unforeseen there is no way for us to provide assurances that these seasonal trends will continue.

In addition, our results of operations may be affected by exceptional market conditions. For example, we achieved significant growth in 2021 as a result of our ability to quickly respond to surge in market demands and to capture the unique market opportunities in 2021, characterized by a significant increase in demand for air freight forwarding services, alongside limited supply of cargo space. While the growth showcased our ability to quickly adapt and capitalize on volving market dynamics, it should not be relied upon as an indicator of our future performance, because we may not be able to achieve the same level of growth in the future in absence of the favorable market conditions in 2021 and/or the unique opportunities presented to us during the same year.

We generally do not enter into any long-term contracts with our customers and we may not be able to maintain a stable source of revenue generated from the freight forwarding business.

We generally do not enter into long-term contracts our customers, who make bookings with us for cargo space on an as-needed basis. As a result, we cannot guarantee that our current customers will continue to utilize our services or that they will continue at the same levels. Our revenue is therefore susceptible to fluctuations in the demand for cargo space from our customers and the cancellations of existing customer contracts.

We rely on our customers to make continuous purchases of cargo space from us to maintain a stable source of revenue. Customers’ demand could be affected by unpredictable factors, such as regional and global political and economic conditions. Furthermore, as we are not the exclusive freight forwarder of our customers, we cannot be certain that sales to our existing customers, including our major customers, will continue to use our freight forwarding services. Our existing customers are not obliged to engage us for the provision of freight forwarding services for the shipments in the future. There is no assurance that our existing customers will not engage other freight forwarders whom they perceive to offer lower prices or better services than ours. There is no certainty that we will continue to generate a stable revenue from our customers, any significant reduction of bookings from our customers could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are dependent on our customers’ business performance, especially our freight forwarder customer, and their continuing demand for international freight forwarding services.

Our revenue generated from our provision of freight forwarding services to other freight forwarders accounted for approximately 98.9%, 98.3% and 99.6% of our total revenue as of the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023, respectively. We are therefore dependent on other freight forwarders’ business performance and developments in their markets and industries. Any material adverse change to the social and economic condition in Hong Kong may affect their business and financial performance, which may in turn affect our business and financial condition.

If the financial and business performance of other freight forwarders deteriorate, it will likely cause a corresponding decrease in demand for our freight forwarding services. Adverse changes in their demand, for example if we cannot absorb their direct shipper customers, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The freight forwarding industries in which we operate are susceptible to risk of changes in shipping policies which could have direct adverse impact on our business, results of operations and profits.

Frequent accidents concerning certain types of cargo on aircraft and vessels have called for tightened safety measures on aircraft and vessels. In the event that changes in shipping policies of certain airlines, for instance, prohibiting consignments containing lithium batteries from loading on to passenger aircraft, have been adopted, business activities of our customers could be directly affected. Our customers may either be forced to ship their consignments through airlines that offer cargo aircraft or divert their domestic and inter-continental deliveries to other alternatives such as sea, rail and road transportation. Tightened safety measures may also imply an overall burden on

cargo space suppliers to raise shipping costs in order to maintain their profit margin. In the event that we are unable to source suitable alternative cargo space for our customers, or we fail to pass on our increased costs to our customers, our business, results of operations and profitability could be adversely affected.

We face risks associated with the items we deliver and the contents of shipments and inventories handled through our service network as we may fail to identify shipments which carry goods of dangerous or illicit nature.

We handle a large volume of shipments across our service network. In accordance with the air cargo security regime in Hong Kong and related statutory requirements of Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department (CAD), 100% of cargoes arranged by us are required to be screened by the screening equipment (such as x-ray) certified by aviation security authorities, such as the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) of the European Commission, Transportation Security Administration (TSA) of the United States, Department for Transport (DofT) of the UK and Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) (“Screening Equipment”). We are required shall ensure all dangerous goods are properly classified, packed, marked, labelled and documented before they are offered for air transportation. However, there is no assurance that our Screening Equipment or hand search/physical check by our screeners at piece level can successfully prevent the shipment of any illegal goods or dangerous goods.

Should we fail to identify shipments which carry goods of illicit or dangerous nature, these goods may be impounded by customs, and we may be subject to investigations and administrative or even criminal penalties or, if any personal injury or property damage is concurrently caused, we may be further liable for civil compensation. In such event, our reputation, business and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. Furthermore, we face challenges with respect to the protection and control of these items when handling the shipments and inventories across our service network. Shipments and inventories in our service network may be stolen, damaged or lost for various reasons, and we, together with our service providers, may be perceived or found to be liable for such incidents.

Any lack of requisite licenses, certificate, permits applicable to the business operation may have a material and adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have obtained various registrations, certificates, permits, and licenses in connection with our business and operations, including the certificate as an International Air Transport Association (IATA) member for easier access to space procurement for air cargo routes, license for the operation of our off-airport x-ray screening operation in our contract warehouses to satisfy the CAD 100% screening requirement (including Irradiating Apparatus License, Regulated Air Cargo Screening Facility License, and Regulated Agent License from Civil Aviation Department and Radiation Board of the Hong Kong Government), and the registration as a Food Import or Distributor and Textile Traders. For the details regarding the relevant licenses and permits, see “Information Related to PSI — Licenses and Regulatory Approvals.”

Most licenses and registrations are subject to renewal. In the event that we fail to renew or obtain our relevant licenses and registrations, even if we may be able to subcontract relevant services, there is no assurance that we can locate suitable subcontractors in a timely manner or on reasonable commercial terms, and the subcontractor will at all times perform in a satisfactory level. Failure to obtain such licenses and permits may result in suspension of operation, fines or other penalties by government authorities. New laws and regulations may be enforced from time to time to require additional licenses and permits other than those we currently have. Therefore, our business, reputation, prospects, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

We are dependent on our suppliers, and any disruption, non-performance and delayed performance of these suppliers may adversely affect our operations and substantially impact our financial results.

Our suppliers include airlines, freight forwarders and shipping liners for cargo space, and other suppliers for logistics-related services such as palletization services, warehousing services, local and overseas transportation services, and x-ray screening services.

For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023, our top five suppliers accounted for approximately 52.2%, 44.1% and 45.0% of the total cost of revenue, respectively. A loss of any of these suppliers could have a negative effect on the operations of PSI.

Table of Contents

Disruptions in the business activities of our suppliers may have negative impacts on our business. There are operational risks inherent to the business activities of our suppliers, such as labor strikes, suspension or cancellation of flight lines due to technical failures, severe outbreaks of contagious diseases or epidemics (such as the COVID-19 pandemic), or financial difficulties which our suppliers may face. We may also encounter the risks associated with non-performance, unsatisfactory, or delayed performance by our suppliers. There is no assurance that the carriers, our business partners and other service providers will at all times perform at a satisfactory level.

Our suppliers may fail to deliver cargoes on time or cargoes may be damaged during transportation. We cannot assure that the service provided by our suppliers will always meet our customers’ delivery requirement. In case there is any error or delay due to various reasons, including but not limited to weather condition, air traffic control, trade embargo and human negligence, the cargoes may not be delivered to the assigned destination within the expected schedule and condition. Freight carriers may also mistakenly deliver the cargo to other destinations. If the carriers, our freight forwarder business partners and other service providers are unable to meet our customers’ standards and requirements and we are unable to find suitable alternatives promptly, our reputation within the industry and therefore our business, sales performance and results of operations could be adversely affected.

In the event of occurrence of the above, we may have to source cargo space from other suppliers for our customers within a tight time constraint. If our suppliers are unable to meet our customers’ delivery requirement, or if we are unable to find suitable alternatives promptly in the event of disruptions in the business activities of our suppliers, our reputation and therefore our business, sales performance and results of operations could be adversely affected. If we are not able to maintain or expand our relationships with our major suppliers, our ability to deliver our products and services in a timely manner may be impaired and we could be required to incur additional expenses to secure alternative suppliers. The disruption in our supply or the need to find alternative suppliers could impact the costs and/or timing associated with procuring necessary products and services.

Our business is dependent on our major operational facility. We do not own any real properties and we lease a number of properties for our business operations. Therefore, we are exposed to risks in relation to unpredictable and increasing rental costs and relocation costs.

We do not own any real properties and manage and operate an asset-light model for our freight forwarding services through our headquarter office and additional office spaces in Kwai Chung, New Territories, Hong Kong (the “Kwai Chung Offices”), with warehousing and freight-related services performed in our service provider’s warehouse.

In the event of disruption in the supply of utilities like water or electricity or denial of access to the above premises due to government controls in response to severe epidemic or other dangerous situations, our Operating Subsidiaries may incur additional costs, such as costs for leasing alternative warehouses and restoring access to our premises. If as a result of such disruption the Operating Subsidiaries fail to meet the service requirements of our customers, our relationship with our customers may be negatively affected.

Furthermore, in the event that our rental expenses for the Kwai Chung Offices increase, our operating expenses will increase and affect our operating cash flows, and in turn materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and prospects. There is also no assurance that such tenancy agreement will not be terminated before its expiration. In the event that the tenancy agreement is terminated or not renewed, our business and operation may be interrupted and adversely affected as we will relocate our warehouse or offices to other sites. Such relocation will incur relocation costs, which may be substantial and in turn adversely affect our financial condition. Further, we cannot assure you that we will be able to relocate such operations to suitable alternative premises in a timely manner or at all, and any such relocation may result in disruption to our business operations. In the event that we fail to relocate our operations, our financial position, results of operations and reputation would be adversely affected.

Our profitability may be materially adversely impacted if our investments in equipment, logistic center/warehouses, and IT infrastructure do not match customer demand for these resources or if there is a decline in the availability of funding sources for these investments.

Although we are an asset-light company, our freight forwarding operations may require certain investments and commitment of capital in equipment, warehouse maintenance and expansion, warehousing systems such as shelving, racking, and IT system. The amount and timing of our capital investments depend on various factors, including anticipated freight volume levels and the price and availability of appropriate property for service centers.

Table of Contents

These capital expenditures are associated with certain inherent risks. We may not have the resources to fund such investment. Even if we have sufficient funding, assets that best suit our needs may not be available at reasonable prices or at all. In addition, we are likely to incur capital expenditures earlier than all of the anticipated benefits, and the return on these investments may be lower, or may be realized more slowly, than we expected. In addition, the carrying value of the related assets may be subject to impairment, which may adversely affect our financial conditions and operating results. Furthermore, our continued investment in freight service centers, warehouses and other infrastructure may put us at a competitive disadvantage against competitors who spend less on these assets but focus more on improving other aspects of their business that are less capital heavy.

Our net cash outflow from operating activities may affect our liquidity.

We cannot assure you that we will not experience net cash outflow from operating activities in the future. Our liquidity in the future will, to an extent, depend on our ability to maintain adequate cash inflows from operating activities primarily generated from our trade receivables for the provision of air freight forwarding, distribution and logistics and ocean freight forwarding services. In the event of any significant deterioration in the quality of our trade receivable portfolio, our liquidity and cash flows from operating activities could be materially and adversely affected.

We may not be able to maintain our historical growth rates or gross profit margins, and our operating results may fluctuate significantly. If our results fall below market expectations, the trading price of Pubco securities following the consummation of the Business Combination may be affected.

We have experienced significant growth in our revenue and gross profit in the past two years. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our revenue growth or gross profit margins at historical levels, or at all. Moreover, our operating results may fluctuate significantly as a result of numerous factors, many of which are outside of our control. These factors include, among others:

• our ability to maintain and further promote our Operating Subsidiaries as a premium brand for high-quality freight forwarding in Hong Kong;

• our ability to attract new customers, retain existing customers and expand our community;

• our ability to maintain our existing customers and attract new international customers;

• the success of our marketing and brand building efforts;

• the timing and market acceptance of new services by us or our competitors;

• our ability to develop service enhancements at a reasonable cost and in a timely manner;

• fluctuations in demand for our services as a result of changes in pricing policies by us or our competitors;

• continued acceptance of the internet as a medium for commerce;

• the amount and timing of capital and other expenditures relating to the maintenance and expansion of our businesses, operations and infrastructure;

• seasonal fluctuations in the sales of our service packages; and

• general economic conditions in Mainland China and elsewhere in the world as well as those economic conditions specific to Mainland China’s export industries.

We may suffer losses from credit exposures and counterparty risks.

We are subject to the credit risks of our customers and our liquidity is dependent on the prompt payment of our customers. We generally grant our customers a credit period of 45 days from the invoice date. As of December 31, 2020 and 2021, the account payable turnover days were approximately 45 days and 48 days, respectively, while the account receivables turnover days were approximately 44 days and 43 days of the corresponding period.

Accordingly, there are often time lags between receiving payments from our customers and making payments to our suppliers, and we are exposed to a potential risk of mismatch in our cash flow. There is no assurance that we will not experience any significant cash flow mismatch in the future. Further, there can be no assurance that our cash

Table of Contents

flow management measures will function properly or at all. If we fail to manage our cash flow properly and maintain sufficient working capital, we may suffer losses from credit exposures which may materially and adversely affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flow.

Our business is also subject to risks that customers or counterparties may delay or fail to perform their contractual obligations. There is no assurance that we will not experience any material difficulty in debt collections or potential default by customers in the future. While our finance department monitors material overdue payments closely, there is no assurance that we will be able to collect overdue payments. Any material non-payment or non-performance by customers or counterparties could adversely affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

We may be subject to litigation and regulatory investigations and proceedings and may not always be successful in defending ourselves against such claims or proceedings.

The nature of our business exposes us to the potential for various types of claims and litigation. We may be subject to claims and litigation related to labor and employment, contractual claims, negligence claims, personal injury, vehicular accidents, cargo and other property damage, business practices, environmental liability and other matters, including with respect to claims asserted under various other theories of agency or employer liability. Claims against us may exceed the amount of insurance coverage that we have or may not be covered by insurance at all. Businesses that we may acquire also increase our exposure to litigation. Material increases in liability claims or workers’ compensation claims, or the unfavorable resolution of claims, or our failure to recover, in full or in part, under indemnity provisions could materially and adversely affect our operating results. In addition, significant increases in insurance costs or the inability to purchase insurance as a result of these claims could reduce our profitability. See “Information Related to PSI — Legal Proceedings.”

Any negative publicity with respect to PSI, the Operating Subsidiaries, our directors, officers, employees, shareholders, or other beneficial owners, our peers, business partners, or our industry in general, may materially and adversely affect our reputation, business, and results of operations.

Our reputation and brand recognition play an important role in earning and maintaining the trust and confidence of our existing and prospective customers. Our reputation and brand are vulnerable to many threats that can be difficult or impossible to control, and costly or impossible to remediate. Negative publicity about us, such as alleged misconduct, other improper activities, or negative rumors relating to our business, shareholders, or other beneficial owners, affiliates, directors, officers, or other employees, can harm our reputation, business, and results of operations, even if they are baseless or satisfactorily addressed. These allegations, even if unproven or meritless, may lead to inquiries, investigations, or other legal actions against us by any regulatory or government authorities. Any regulatory inquiries or investigations and lawsuits against us, and perceptions of conflicts of interest, inappropriate business conduct by us or perceived wrongdoing by any key member of our management team, among other things, could substantially damage our reputation regardless of their merits, and cause us to incur significant costs to defend ourselves. Moreover, any negative media publicity about the freight forwarding industry in general or service quality problems of other firms in the industry in which we operate, including our competitors, may also negatively impact our reputation and brand. If we are unable to maintain a good reputation or further enhance our brand recognition, our ability to attract and retain customers, third-party partners, and key employees could be harmed and, as a result, our business, financial position, and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected.

We may not be able to obtain finance from time to time to fund our operations and maintain growth.

In order to fund our operations and maintain our growth or expand our business beyond the scale permitted by the net proceeds from the Business Combination, we may need to obtain future funding including equity financing or banking facilities from our banks from time to time. However, we may face the limitation of not having sufficient assets to pledge to secure additional debt financing. Further, there may be occasions where we are unable to obtain financing at commercial terms favorable or acceptable to us or at all. If these circumstances arise, our business, results of operations, and growth could be compromised.

Uncertainties relating to the growth and profitability of the e-Commerce industry could adversely affect our revenues and business prospect.

As part of our growth strategy, we plan to expand our services to customers focusing on cross-border e-Commerce or its related logistics services. The long-term viability and prospects of various e-Commerce business models remain relatively untested. The future results of operations of the e-Commerce platforms will depend on numerous factors affecting the development of the e-Commerce industry, which may be beyond our control, such as (i) the trust and confidence level of e-Commerce consumers, as well as changes in customer demographics and consumer tastes and preferences; (ii) the selection, price and popularity of products as well as promotions that the e-Commerce platforms offer online; (iii) whether alternative retail channels or business models that better address the needs of consumers; and (iv) the development of fulfillment, payment and other ancillary services associated with online purchases. A decline in the popularity of e-Commerce may adversely affect the business prospects of our customers, such as cross-border e-Commerce platforms, freight forwarders focusing on e-Commerce logistics services, and thus ultimately our revenue and business prospects may be adversely affected.

Our growth prospects may be limited if we do not successfully implement our future plans and growth strategy.

We devise our future plans as set out in the sections headed “Information Related to PSI — Growth Strategies” based on circumstances currently prevailing and bases and assumptions that certain circumstances will or will not occur, as well as the risks and uncertainties inherent in various stages of implementation.

Our growth is based on assumptions of future events which include (a) the continuous growing prevalence of e-Commerce; (b) our ability to develop our industry network with airlines and other freight forwarders for and co-loading activities; (c) the effectiveness of our management effort in overseeing our expansion; (d) continuous growth of the U.S. freight forwarding market; and (e) our ability to retain key staff in the management and the operational departments. Furthermore, our future business plans may be hindered by other factors that are beyond our control, such as competition within the freight forwarding industries and market conditions. Therefore, there is no assurance that any of our future business plans will materialize or result in the conclusion or execution of any agreement within the planned timeframe, or that our objectives will be fully or partially accomplished.

Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks and challenges which we may encounter in various stages of the development of our business. If the assumptions which underpin our future plans prove to be incorrect, our future plans may not be effective in enhancing our growth, in which case our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

We may grow, in part, through acquisitions, which involve various risks, and we may not be able to identify or acquire companies consistent with our growth strategy or successfully integrate acquired businesses into our operations.

We may intend to pursue opportunities to expand our business by acquiring other companies in the future. Acquisitions involve risks, including those relating to:

• identification of appropriate acquisition candidates;

• negotiation of acquisitions on favorable terms and valuations;

• integration of acquired businesses and personnel;

• integration of information technology systems;

• implementation of proper business and accounting controls;

• ability to obtain financing, at favorable terms or at all;

• diversion of management attention;

• retention of employees and customers;

• non-employee driver attrition;

• unexpected liabilities;

• detrimental issues not discovered during due diligence.

Table of Contents

Acquisitions also may affect our short-term cash flow and net income as we expend funds, potentially increase indebtedness and incur additional expenses. If we are not able to identify or acquire companies consistent with our growth strategy, or if we fail to successfully integrate any acquired companies into our operations, we may not achieve anticipated increases in revenue, cost savings and economies of scale, our operating results may actually decline and acquired goodwill and intangibles may become impaired.

We are dependent on our senior management team and other key employees, and the loss of any such personnel could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

We believe that our performance and success is, to a certain extent, attributable to the extensive industry knowledge and experience of our key executives and personnel. Our continued success is dependent, to a large extent, on the ability to attract and retain the services of the key management team. However, competition for key personnel in our industry is intense. We may not be able to retain the services of our directors or other key personnel, or attract and retain high-quality personnel in the future. If any of our key personnel departs from us, and we are not able to recruit a suitable replacement with comparable experience to join us on a timely basis, our business, operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

Increasing labor cost and labor shortage in our industry may affect our business, financial conditions and results of operations.

The economy in Hong Kong and globally has experienced general increases in inflation and labor costs in recent years. As a result, average wages in Hong Kong and certain other regions are expected to continue to increase. In addition, we are required by Hong Kong laws and regulations to pay various statutory employee benefits, including mandatory provident fund to designated government agencies for the benefit of our employees. The relevant government agencies may examine whether an employer has made adequate payments to the statutory employee benefits, and those employers who fail to make adequate payments may be subject to fines and other penalties.

Although we have not experienced any labor shortage to date, we have observed an overall tightening and increasingly competitive labor market. We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, increases in labor costs due to increases in salary, social benefits and employee headcount. We and our network partners compete with other companies in our industry and other labor-intensive industries for labor, and we may not be able to offer competitive salaries and benefits compared to them.

According to a market research report prepared by CIC commissioned by PSI (the “CIC Report”), labor shortage is one of the major threats to the freight forwarding and related logistic industry. Freight forwarders need professional talents to establish an efficient and reliable operating system to consolidate cargos for air freight forwarding services. Because the freight forwarding industry is a labor-intensive industry, we cannot assure that we will not experience any labor shortage for our services or that our labor costs will not continue to increase in the future. According to the CIC Report, the number of labors working in Hong Kong’s transportation, storage, postal and courier services industries decreased from 176 thousand in June 2020 to 163 thousand in June 2023, representing a negative CAGR of 2.5%. Under such conditions, market participants in the freight forwarding industry of Hong Kong have suffered from shortage of labor and are confronted with an increase in labor costs, which tends to constrain the sustainable development of the freight forwarding industry.

Due to the decrease of number of employees in the freight forwarding industry, the average cost of labor force in Hong Kong demonstrated an upward trend between 2020 and 2022. According to CIC Report, the average annual salary of labor force in freight forwarding industry in Hong Kong rose from approximately HK$376,936.0 (US$48,325) in 2020 to approximately HK$413.903.7 (US$53,065) in 2022, representing a CAGR of 4.8%. Statutory Minimum Wage (SMW) has come into force since May 1, 2011. With effect from May 1, 2023, the SMW rate is raised to HK$40 (US$5.13) per hour. There is no assurance that the minimum wage will not be increased in future. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023, our aggregate employee benefits expenses and labor cost amounted to approximately US$1.9 million, US$2.5 million and US$2.8 million, respectively, representing approximately 51.8%, 46.5% and 50.0% of our total operating expenses for the corresponding periods. If we fail to retain our existing labor and/or recruit sufficient staff at the expected rate in a timely manner, we may not be able to shift the extra costs to our customers. As such, the increasing labor costs and labor shortage may adversely affect our business, financial conditions and results of operations.

The freight forwarding industry in which we operate is highly fragmented and competitive and there can be no assurance that we can compete successfully in the future and adequately address the downward pricing pressure.

According to the CIC Report, the freight forwarding industry in which we operate is highly competitive, fragmented and historically have few barriers to entry. We compete with a large number of other asset-light freight forwarders, asset-based carriers, and integrated logistics companies. Our competitors range from small operators that compete within a limited geographic area to companies with substantially greater financial and other resources, including greater freight capacity. In addition, our suppliers, such as major airlines and shipping liners have also set up subsidiaries to offer freight forwarding services and logistics services and our customers could bring in-house some of the services we provide to them.

Competition from other freight forwarders within the market may adversely affect our customer base and market share. Many of our competitors periodically reduce their rates to unusually low levels in order to gain business, especially during times of economic decline. Although such predatory pricing strategy is unsustainable in the long-term, it may adversely affect our business in the short-term. Furthermore, the freight forwarding industry continues to consolidate. As a result of consolidation, our competitors may increase their market share and improve their financial capacity and may strengthen their competitive positions. Business combinations could also result in competitors providing a wider variety of services at competitive prices, which could adversely affect our financial performance. We may lose key members of our management team and experienced employees (in particular those from our sales force who have established relationships with our key customers) to our competitors.

As a result, we may not be able to compete effectively with our existing or potential competitors. The competitive pressures may cause a decrease in our volume of freight and compel us to adopt a more competitive pricing strategy by lowering our profit margin in order to maintain our customer base and market share. There can be no assurance that we can compete successfully over other industry players for customers in the future. If we are unable to maintain our customer base, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

If our merchant and non-freight forwarders customers are able to reduce their logistics and supply chain costs or increase utilization of their internal solutions, our business and operating results may be materially and adversely affected.

A major driver for merchants’ customers to use third-party logistics and supply chain service providers is the high cost and degree of difficulty associated with developing in-house logistics and supply chain expertise and operational efficiencies. If, however, our customers are able to develop their own logistics and supply chain solutions, increase utilization of their in-house supply chain, reduce their logistics spending, or otherwise choose to terminate our services, our logistics and supply chain management business and operating results may be materially and adversely affected.

Volatility in fuel prices, shortages of fuel or the ineffectiveness of our fuel surcharge program can have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and profitability.

We are subject to risks associated with the availability and price of fuel. Fuel prices have fluctuated dramatically over recent years. Future fluctuations in the availability and price of fuel could adversely affect our results of operations. Fuel availability and prices can be impacted by factors beyond our control, such as natural or man-made disasters, adverse weather conditions, political events, economic sanctions imposed against oil-producing countries or specific industry participants, disruption or failure of technology or information systems, price and supply decisions by oil producing countries and cartels, terrorist activities, armed conflict, tariffs, sanctions, other changes to trade agreements and world supply and demand imbalance. There can be no assurance that our fuel surcharge revenue programs will be effective in the future as the fuel surcharge may not capture the entire amount of the increase in fuel prices. Additionally, decreases in fuel prices reduce the cost of transportation services and accordingly, could reduce our revenues and may reduce margins for certain lines of business. In addition to changing fuel prices, fluctuations in volumes and related load factors may subject us to volatility in our fuel surcharge revenue. Fuel shortages, changes in fuel prices and the potential volatility in fuel surcharge revenue may adversely impact our results of operations and overall profitability.

Natural disasters, acts of God, wars, epidemics and other events may adversely affect our business operations, financial condition and results of operations.

Natural disasters, acts of God, wars, terrorist attacks, epidemics, material interruptions in service or stoppages in transportation and other events which are beyond our control may adversely affect local economies, infrastructures, airports, port facilities and international trade. They may also cause casualty to our employees, closure of ports or airports and disruptions to cargo flows, any of which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial position. Harsh weather could also reduce our ability to transport freight, which could result in decreased revenues.

Any of such occurrences of natural disasters or the outbreak of avian influenza, severe acute respiratory syndrome, the influenza A (H1N1), H7N9 or another epidemic could cause severe disruption to our daily operations, and may even require a temporary closure. Such closures may disrupt our business operations and adversely affect our results of operations. If any of our employees is suspected of having contracted a contagious disease, we may be required to apply quarantines or suspend our operations. Our operation could also be disrupted if our suppliers, customers or business partners were affected by such natural disasters or health epidemics. Furthermore, any future outbreak may restrict economic activities in affected regions, resulting in reduced business volume, the temporary lack of an adequate work force, and the temporary disruption in the transport of goods to or from overseas which could prevent, delay or reduce freight volumes and could have an adverse impact on consumer spending and confidence levels, all of which could adversely affect our results of operations.

Our business, results of operations and financial condition have experienced major challenges by the coronavirus pandemic, especially our supply chain and capacity to provide freight forwarding services were once disrupted by the resultant lockdown of the pandemic, we may encounter similar challenges and interruptions if such severe pandemic occurs again.

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted economic activity and conditions worldwide and created significant volatility and disruption to financial markets. In 2022, the major challenge to our operation was the surge in the number of coronavirus cases in Mainland China and the resultant lockdown in major cities, including Shenzhen and Shanghai, which interrupted the supply chain and adversely affected our capacity to provide air freight forwarding services as usual. In particular, our shipments originated from Mainland China were temporarily interrupted due to trucking shortages as a result of the outbreak in Shenzhen in early March 2022 and the implementation of border control and various lockdown measures. Subsequently, the transportation of goods between ports and from factories to ports was temporarily interrupted and our shipment volume in the first quarter of 2022 declined significantly compared to 2021.However, if such severe pandemic occurs again, our business operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected due to disruptions in the business activities of both our customers and suppliers, deteriorating market outlook and sentiments, slowdown in regional and global economic growth or by other factors that we cannot foresee. In the event that there is border control in respect of shipments or shutdown of the airports/ports imposed by governments, our operation and our supply chain will be materially disrupted due to the transportation shortages. Since some of our shipments originate from Mainland China and Hong Kong, any suspension of business or temporary closure of production facilities and manufacturing activities of our customers or shippers due to the pandemic-control measures may reduce the shipment volume and subsequently affect our revenue. Meanwhile, our Operating Subsidiaries may be required to suspend operations as a result of the social distancing and lockdown measures imposed by governments (such as closing physical workplace premises and suspending all business or social activities), and our operations may be disrupted as our services involve cargo handling and delivery, which could not be conducted merely through telecommuting from home. The above potential adverse impacts, especially if they materialize and persist for a substantial period, may significantly and adversely affect our business operation and financial performance in the future.

If we fail to maintain our information technology systems, or if we fail to successfully implement new technology or enhancements, we may be at a competitive disadvantage and experience a decrease in revenues.

Our freight forwarding services are heavily dependent on our ability to communicate and manage the information related to the operation of freight forwarding business effectively. We rely on our current freight operations and accounting system to maintain our electronic system and database. Our system allows our staff to record and review the details of customers’ cargo space bookings, flight and shipping schedule and other related information of shipment. Moreover, we also rely on our warehousing management system for our provision of ancillary logistics services to manage our operation of our warehouse, including export shipments, invoicing and costing, reporting and transportation.

While we take measures to ensure the security of our IT systems, our systems are susceptible to outages from fire, floods, power loss, telecommunications failures, data leakage, human error, hacking and break-ins, cyber-attacks and similar events. The occurrence of any of these events could disrupt or damage our information technology systems and hamper our internal operations, disable our ability to handle the bookings of customers efficiently or at all, and adversely impact our customer service, volumes, and revenues and result in increased cost. In addition, we may be required to incur significant costs to protect against damage caused by the possible disruptions or security breaches in the future.

As we rely on our information technology systems to efficiently run our business, they are also the key components of our growth strategy and competitive advantage. As set out in the section headed “Information related to PSI — Growth Strategy — Enhance our smart integrated logistics systems”, we plan to enhance our information technology system in relation to freight forwarding services to improve our efficiency and facilitate the forecast in customers’ demand and planning of sourcing cargo space. We expect our customers to continue to demand more sophisticated, fully integrated information systems from their transportation providers. To keep pace with changing technologies and customer demands, we must correctly interpret and address market trends and enhance the features and functionality of our information technology systems in response to these trends, which may lead to significant ongoing software development costs. We may be unable to accurately determine the needs of our customers and the trends in the freight forwarding services industry or to design and implement the appropriate features and functionality of our information technology systems in a timely and cost-effective manner, which could put us at a competitive disadvantage and result in a decline in our efficiency, decreased demand for our services and a corresponding decrease in our revenues. In addition, we could incur software development costs for technology that is ultimately not deployed and thus, would require us to write-off these costs, which would negatively impact our financial results. Furthermore, as technology improves, our customers may be able to find alternatives to our services for matching shipments with available freight hauling capacity.

Our business is subject to cybersecurity risks. A cyberattack may disrupt our operations and compromise the personal data of our customers.

Our operations depend on effective and secure information technology systems. Threats to information technology systems, including as a result of cyber-attacks and cyber incidents, continue to grow. Cybersecurity risks could include, but are not limited to, malicious software, attempts to gain unauthorized access to our data and the unauthorized release, corruption or loss of our data and personal information, interruptions in communication, loss of our intellectual property or theft of our sensitive or proprietary technology, loss or damage to our data delivery systems, or other electronic security, including with our property and equipment.

These cybersecurity risks could:

• Disrupt our operations and damage our information technology systems,

• Subject us to various penalties and fees by third parties,

• Negatively impact our ability to compete,

• Enable the theft or misappropriation of funds,

• Cause the loss, corruption or misappropriation of proprietary or confidential information, expose us to litigation and

• Result in injury to our reputation, downtime, loss of revenue, and increased costs to prevent, respond to or mitigate cybersecurity events.

If a cybersecurity event occurs, it could harm our business and reputation and could result in a loss of customers. Likewise, data privacy breaches by employees and others who access our systems may pose a risk that sensitive customer or vendor data may be exposed to unauthorized persons or to the public, adversely impacting our customer service, employee relationships and our reputation.

While we continue to make efforts to evaluate and improve our systems and particularly the effectiveness of our security program, procedures and systems, it is possible that our business, financial and other systems could be compromised, which could go unnoticed for a prolonged period of time, and there can be no assurance that the actions

and controls that we implement, or which we cause third-party service providers to implement, will be sufficient to protect our systems, information or other property. Additionally, customers or third parties whom we rely on face similar threats, which could directly or indirectly impact our business and operations. The occurrence of a cyber-incident or attack could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Failure to comply with cybersecurity, data privacy, data protection, or any other laws and regulations related to data may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We may be subject to a variety of cybersecurity, data privacy, data protection, and other laws and regulations related to data, including those relating to the collection, use, sharing, retention, security, disclosure, and transfer of confidential and private information, such as personal information and other data. These laws and regulations, such as the Data Protection Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands, apply not only to third-party transactions, but also to transfers of information within our organization, which relates to our investors, employees, contractors and other counterparties. These laws and regulations may restrict our business activities and require us to incur increased costs and efforts to comply, and any breach or noncompliance may subject us to proceedings against us, damage our reputation, or result in penalties and other significant legal liabilities, and thus may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

In some jurisdictions, including Mainland China, where we do not have material operations, the cybersecurity, data privacy, data protection, or other data-related laws and regulations are relatively new and evolving, and their interpretation and application may be uncertain, For example, on December 28, 2021, the CAC jointly with the relevant authorities formally published the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021) which took effect on February 15, 2022, and replace the former Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2020) issued on July 10, 2021. The Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021) provide that operators of critical information infrastructure purchasing network products and services, and online platform operators (together with the operators of critical information infrastructure, the “Operators”) carrying out data processing activities that affect or may affect national security, shall conduct a cybersecurity review, any online platform operator who controls more than one million users’ personal information must go through a cybersecurity review by the cybersecurity review office if it seeks to be listed in a foreign country.

Our Operating Subsidiaries may collect and store certain data (including certain personal information) from our customers, some of whom may be individuals from Mainland China, in connection with our business and operations and for “Know Your Customers” purposes (to combat money laundering). As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021) by the CAC and the other regulations discussed in the preceding paragraph will not have an impact on our business, results of operations, or the Business Combination, given that: (1) our Operating Subsidiaries are incorporated in Hong Kong, and we have no subsidiary, VIE structure, material operations nor maintain any office or personnel in Mainland China, (2) as of date of this proxy statement/prospectus, our Operating Subsidiaries have in aggregate collected and stored personal information of less than one million users, (3) all of the data our Operating Subsidiaries have collected is stored in servers located in Hong Kong, (4) as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, neither of our Operating Subsidiaries has been informed by any PRC governmental authority of any requirement that it files for a cybersecurity review or a CSRC review, and (5) pursuant to the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (the “Basic Law”), which is a national law of the PRC and the constitutional document for Hong Kong, national laws of Mainland China shall not be applied in Hong Kong except for those listed in Annex III of the Basic Law (which is confined to laws relating to defense and foreign affairs, as well as other matters outside the autonomy of Hong Kong), while the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021), the PRC Personal Information Protection Law and the PRC Data Security Law do not clearly provide whether it shall be applied to a company based in Hong Kong.

However, we still face uncertainties regarding the interpretation and implementation of these laws and regulations in the future. Since these statements and regulatory actions are new, it is highly uncertain how soon the legislative or administrative regulation making bodies will respond and what existing or new laws or regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations will be modified or promulgated. If any of our Operating Subsidiaries is deemed to be an “Operator”, or if the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021) or the PRC Personal Information Protection Law becomes applicable to our Operating Subsidiaries, they could result in disruption in our operations, negative publicity with respect to our company, and diversion of our managerial and financial resources; we cannot assure you that our Operating Subsidiaries will be able to comply with the regulatory requirements in all respects and our current practice of collecting and processing personal information may be ordered to be rectified or terminated by regulatory authorities, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operation.

Table of Contents

Any failure or delay in the completion of the cybersecurity review procedures or any other non-compliance with the related laws and regulations may result in fines or other penalties, including suspension of business, website closure, and revocation of prerequisite licenses, as well as reputational damage or legal proceedings or actions, may hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our securities (or Pubco’s securities following the Business Combination) to investors and cause the value of our securities (or Pubco’s securities following the Business Combination) to significantly decline or be worthless.

We cannot assure that the insurance policies we have taken out are always able to cover all losses we sustain during the course of our business operations.

We maintain Freight Forwarder Liability insurance policies against cargo transportation losses and freight forwarder errors and omissions. We also maintain insurance coverage of employee’s compensation, and public liability insurance. Because of these significant self-insured exposures, insurance and claims expense may fluctuate significantly from period-to-period. Additionally, our ability to obtain and maintain adequate insurance and the cost of such insurance may be affected by significant claims and conditions in the insurance market over which we have no control.

We cannot assure that the insurance policies we have taken out are always able to cover all losses we sustain during the course of our business operations as it is not always possible to accurately predict and quantify how much loss we will suffer from potential claims. We may fail to establish sufficient insurance reserves and adequately estimate for future insurance claims. In the case of an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limit, we may be required to pay for losses, damages and liabilities out of our own funds. The occurrence of an event that is not fully covered by insurance, the loss of insurance coverage or a material increase in the cost of insurance could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Fluctuations in exchange rates could result in foreign currency exchange losses, which may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We are exposed to certain foreign exchange risks in respect of depreciation or appreciation amongst the currencies other than our functional currency. The value of Hong Kong dollar against Renminbi and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, the policies of the PRC government and changes in the PRC’s and international political and economic conditions. Since a significant portion of customers are from Mainland China, any future exchange rate volatility relating to Renminbi may lead to uncertainties in the value of our earnings.

It is difficult to predict how market forces or Hong Kong, Mainland China, the U.S. or other government policies may impact the exchange rate among Hong Kong dollar, Renminbi, U.S. dollar and other currencies in the future. To the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars we receive from the consummation of the Business Combination into Hong Kong dollars for our operations, appreciation of the Hong Kong dollar against the U.S. dollar would have an adverse effect on the Hong Kong dollar amount we would receive. Moreover, fluctuation in the exchange rate will affect the relative value of earnings from and the value of any foreign currency-denominated investments our Group make in the future. Shall we face significant volatility in these foreign exchange rates and we cannot procure any specific foreign exchange control measures to mitigate such risks, our results of operations and financial performance shall be adversely affected.

We may be affected by the currency peg system in Hong Kong.

Since 1983, Hong Kong dollars have been pegged to the U.S. dollars at the rate of approximately HK$7.8 to US$1.0. We cannot assure you that this policy will not be changed in the future. If the pegging system collapses and Hong Kong dollars suffer devaluation, the Hong Kong dollar cost of our expenditures denominated in foreign currency may increase. This would in turn adversely affect the operations and profitability of our business.

Our business is subject to various laws and regulations around the world; failure to comply with these provisions, as well as any adverse changes in applicable laws and regulations, may restrict or prevent us from doing business in certain countries or jurisdictions, require us to incur additional costs in operating our business or otherwise materially adversely affect our business.

The supply chain management services we provide are regulated by various governmental authorities around the world. A failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations and maintain appropriate authorizations could result in substantial fines, operational restrictions or possible revocations of authority to conduct operations, which could have

Table of Contents

a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Future regulations or changes in existing regulations, or in the interpretation or enforcement of regulations, could require us or our customers to incur additional capital or operating expenses or modify business operations to achieve or maintain compliance. For example, the global responses to terrorist threats have resulted in a proliferation of cargo security regulations which have created a marked difference in the security arrangements required to move shipments around the globe, and we expect regulations to become more stringent in the future.

In addition, due to the cross-border nature of our activities and the large number of countries in which we operate, we must continually monitor our compliance with anti-corruption laws (such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the U.K. Bribery Act), trade control and sanctions laws and regulations (including those promulgated and enforced by the Office of Foreign Assets Controls and by other national and supranational institutions), and antitrust and competition laws. Recent years have seen a substantial increase in global enforcement of these laws, with more frequent voluntary self-disclosures by companies, industry-wide investigations and criminal and civil enforcement proceedings by U.S. and other government agencies resulting in substantial fines and penalties. We may be subject to criminal and civil penalties and other remedial measures as a result of any violation of such laws and regulations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. While we have in place policies and procedures relating to compliance with these laws, there can be no assurance that our internal policies or procedures will work effectively to ensure that we comply with such laws and regulations all of the time or to protect us against liability under such laws and regulations for actions taken by our employees or by our third-party service providers (or their subcontractors) with respect to our business, which may be outside our direct control or knowledge.

Risks Related to Doing Business in the Jurisdictions in Which PSI’s Operating Subsidiaries Operate

All of our operations are located in Hong Kong. PRC laws and regulations in general are not applicable or enforceable in Hong Kong. However, due to the potential long arm application of these laws and regulations, the PRC government may exercise significant direct oversight and discretion over the conduct of our business and may intervene or influence our operations, which could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of our ordinary shares (or Pubco Ordinary Shares following the Closing). Our Operating Subsidiaries may be subject to laws and regulations of Mainland China, which may impair our ability to operate profitably and result in a material negative impact on our operations and/or the value of our ordinary shares (or Pubco Ordinary Shares following the Closing). Furthermore, the changes in the policies, regulations, rules, and the enforcement of laws of the PRC may also occur quickly with little advance notice and our assertions and beliefs of the risk imposed by the PRC legal and regulatory system cannot be certain.

Our Operating Subsidiaries are located, and operate their business, in Hong Kong, a special administrative region of the PRC. Although some of our customers are individuals from Mainland China or companies that have shareholders and directors that are individuals from Mainland China, our Operating Subsidiaries do not have operations in Mainland China or collect, store or process any personal data of any customer in Mainland China, and are not regulated by any regulator in Mainland China. As a result, the laws and regulations of Mainland China do not currently have any material impact on our business, financial condition and results of operation. Furthermore, except for the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China (“Basic Law”), national laws of Mainland China do not apply in Hong Kong unless they are listed in Annex III of the Basic Law and applied locally by promulgation or local legislation. National laws that may be listed in Annex III are currently limited under the Basic Law to those which fall within the scope of defense and foreign affairs as well as other matters outside the limits of the autonomy of Hong Kong. National laws and regulations relating to data protection, cybersecurity and the anti-monopoly have not been listed in Annex III and so do not apply directly to Hong Kong.

However, due to long arm provisions under the current Mainland China laws and regulations, there remain regulatory and legal uncertainty with respect to the implementation of laws and regulations of Mainland China to Hong Kong. As a result, there is no guarantee that the PRC government may not choose to implement the laws of

Table of Contents

Mainland China to Hong Kong and exercise significant direct influence and discretion over the operation of our Operating Subsidiaries in the future and, it will not have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations, due to changes in laws, political environment or other unforeseeable reasons.

In the event that we or our Operating Subsidiaries were to become subject to laws and regulations of Mainland China, the legal and operational risks associated in Mainland China may also apply to our operations in Hong Kong, and we face the risks and uncertainties associated with the legal system in Mainland China, complex and evolving Mainland China laws and regulation, and as to whether and how the recent PRC government statements and regulatory developments, such as those relating to the use of variable interest entities, data and cyberspace security and anti-monopoly concerns, would be applicable to a companies like our Operating Subsidiaries and us, given the substantial operations of our Operating Subsidiaries and the Chinese government may exercise significant oversight over the conduct of business in Hong Kong.

The laws and regulations in Mainland China are evolving, and their enactment timetable, interpretation, enforcement, and implementation involve significant uncertainties, and may change quickly with little advance notice, along with the risk that the PRC government may intervene or influence our Operating Subsidiaries’ operations at any time could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of our securities or could significantly limit or completely hinder your ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless. Moreover, there are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of Mainland China laws and regulations including, but not limited to, the laws and regulations related to our business and the enforcement and performance of our arrangements with customers in certain circumstances. The laws and regulations are sometimes vague and may be subject to future changes, and their official interpretation and enforcement may involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness and interpretation of newly enacted laws or regulations, including amendments to existing laws and regulations, may be delayed, and our business may be affected if we rely on laws and regulations which are subsequently adopted or interpreted in a manner different from our understanding of these laws and regulations. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively. We cannot predict what effect the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations may have on our business.

The laws, regulations, and other government directives in Mainland China may also be costly to comply with, and such compliance or any associated inquiries or investigations or any other government actions may:

• delay or impede our development;

• result in negative publicity or increase our operating costs;

• require significant management time and attention;

• cause devaluation of our securities or delisting; and,

• subject us to remedies, administrative penalties and even criminal liabilities that may harm our business, including fines assessed for our current or historical operations, or demands or orders that we modify or even cease our business operations.

Our business, financial condition and results of operations, and/or the value of our ordinary shares (or Pubco Ordinary Shares following the Closing) or our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors may be materially and adversely affected by existing or future laws and regulations of Mainland China which may become applicable to Hong Kong and thus to company such as us.

We are aware that recently, Mainland China government initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in certain areas in Mainland China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over Mainland China-based companies listed overseas using a variable interest entity structure, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. In addition to these statements, laws and regulations by the Chinese government, including the Measures for Cybersecurity Review, the PRC Personal Information Protection Law and the Draft Rules on Overseas Listing published by CSRC on December 24, 2021 also have indicated an intent to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investments in Mainland China-based issuers.

Table of Contents

In particular, there have been recent statements by the PRC government indicating an intent to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based companies with substantial operations in China. In addition, the Chinese government may intervene or influence our operations at any time, or may exert oversight and control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in Hong Kong-based issuers that are not PRC domestic companies, which could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of our ordinary shares. Any of the foregoing could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless. On February 17, 2023, the CSRC released the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies, or the Trial Measures, and five supporting guidelines, which will come into effect on March 31, 2023. (the “Overseas Listing Regulations”). The Overseas Listing Regulations require that a PRC domestic enterprise seeking to issue and list its shares overseas shall complete the filing procedures of and submit the relevant information to CSRC, failing which such enterprise may be fined between RMB 1 million and RMB 10 million. Since these statements and regulatory actions by the PRC government are newly published, their interpretation, application and enforcement of unclear and there also remains significant uncertainty as to the enactment, interpretation and implementation of other regulatory requirements related to overseas securities offerings and other capital markets activities; our ability to offer, or continue to offer, securities to investors would be potentially hindered and the value of our securities might significantly decline or be worthless, by existing or future laws and regulations relating to its business or industry or by intervene or interruption by PRC governmental authorities, if (i) we or our subsidiaries do not receive or maintain such filings, permissions or approvals required by the PRC government, (ii) we or our subsidiaries inadvertently conclude that such filings, permissions or approvals are not required, (iii) applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change and we are required to obtain such filings, permissions or approvals in the future, or (iv) any intervention or interruption by PRC governmental with little advance notice.

We are not currently required to obtain permission from the PRC government to list on a U.S. securities exchange and consummate the Business Combination. However, there is no guarantee that this will continue to be the case in the future in relation to the continued listing of our securities on a securities exchange outside of the PRC, or even when such permission is obtained, it will not be subsequently denied or rescinded. Should the Overseas Listing Regulations be applicable to us, we may be subject to additional compliance requirement in the future, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to get the clearance of filing procedures as required on a timely basis, or at all. Any failure of us to fully comply with new regulatory requirements may significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our ordinary shares, cause significant disruption to our business operations, and severely damage our reputation, which would materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and cause our ordinary shares to significantly decline in value or become worthless.

We have no operations in Mainland China. The Operating Subsidiaries are located, and operate, in Hong Kong, a special administrative region of the PRC. And we do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the PRC government currently does not exert direct influence and discretion over the manner in which we conduct our business activities in Hong Kong, outside of Mainland China. We also do not expect to be materially affected by recent statements by the Chinese Government indicating an intent to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in Mainland China-based issuers. Based on our understanding of Mainland China laws and regulations currently in effect as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, as the Operating Subsidiaries are located in Hong Kong, we are not currently required to obtain permission from the PRC government to list on a U.S. securities exchange and consummate the Business Combination. However, there is no guarantee that this will continue to be the case in the future in relation to the continued listing of our securities on a securities exchange outside of the PRC, or even when such permission is obtained, it will not be subsequently denied or rescinded. It remains uncertain as to the enactment, interpretation and implementation of regulatory requirements related to overseas securities offering and other capital markets activities and due to the possibility that laws, regulations, or policies in the PRC could change rapidly in the future. It remains uncertain whether Mainland China government will adopt additional requirements or extend the existing requirements to apply to our Operating Subsidiaries located in Hong Kong. It is also uncertain whether the Hong Kong government will be mandated by Mainland China government, despite the constitutional constraints of the Basic Law, to control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment of entities in Hong Kong, including our Operating Subsidiaries. Any actions by Mainland China government to exert more oversight and control over offerings

Table of Contents

(including of businesses whose primary operations are in Hong Kong) that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investments in Hong Kong-based issuers could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or be worthless.

The Hong Kong legal system embodies uncertainties which could limit the legal protections available to the Operating Subsidiaries.

Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region of the PRC. Following British colonial rule from 1842 to 1997, China assumed sovereignty under the “one country, two systems” principle. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region’s constitutional document, the Basic Law, ensures that the current principles and policies regarding Hong Kong will remain unchanged for 50 years. Hong Kong has enjoyed the freedom to function with a high degree of autonomy for its affairs, including currencies, immigration and customs operations, and its independent judiciary system. On July 14, 2020, the United States signed an executive order to end the special status enjoyed by Hong Kong under the United States-Hong Kong Policy Act of 1992. This includes special treatment in areas including but not limited to customs tariffs, export controls, immigration, foreign investment, and extradition. The suspension or elimination of Hong Kong’s preferential treatment and continued tension between the United States and the PRC could potentially impact Hong Kong’s common law legal system and may, in turn, bring about uncertainty in, for example, the enforcement of our contractual rights. This could materially and adversely affect our business and operations. We cannot predict the effect of future developments in the Hong Kong legal system, including the promulgation of new laws, changes to existing laws or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, or the pre-emption of local regulations by national laws. These uncertainties could limit the legal protections available to us, including our ability to enforce our agreements with our customers.

Trade war or restrictions, whether in form of embargo, tariff, or otherwise, effected between two or more countries, including the risks arising from recent events between the PRC and the United States, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operation.

Our revenue from freight forwarding services for export shipments to the United States contributed to approximately US$107.7 million, US$75.2 million and US$122.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023, respectively, representing approximately 82.8%, 77.3% and 87.4% of our total export revenue of the corresponding period. Also, a significant portion of our business originates from customers in Mainland China and therefore depends on the level of imports and exports to and from Mainland China. Therefore, we are subject to risks related to the changes in trade policies, tariff regulations, embargoes, or other trade restrictions adverse to our customers’ business. Tariffs restrictions imposed by the United States on Mainland China exports intensified during 2019 which resulted in a negative impact to the international trading activities globally and have attributed to the overall decrease in the cargo shipment volume of Hong Kong. Despite an agreement having been entered into between the United States and China on January 15, 2020, to suspend certain planned tariff, our results of operation may be adversely affected if the trade war or restrictions further intensify, whether in the form of embargo, tariff, or otherwise, and may further affect the relationship between the United States and China or more countries in the future.

Changes and the downturn in the economic, political, or social conditions of Hong Kong, Mainland China and other countries or changes to the government policies of Hong Kong and Mainland China could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.

Our operations are located in Hong Kong. Accordingly, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced to a significant degree by political, economic and social conditions in Hong Kong and Mainland China generally. Economic conditions in Hong Kong are sensitive to Mainland China and the global economic conditions. Any major changes to Hong Kong’s social and political landscape will have a material impact on our business.

The Mainland China economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including the amount of government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange and allocation of resources. While the economy in Mainland China has experienced significant growth over the past decades, growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. The PRC government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy but may have a negative effect on Hong Kong and us.

Table of Contents

Furthermore, on July 14, 2020, the former President of the United States, Mr. Donald Trump, signed the Hong Kong Autonomy Act and an executive order to remove the preferential trade status of Hong Kong, pursuant to § 202 of the United States-Hong Kong Policy Act of 1992. The U.S. government has determined that Hong Kong is no longer sufficiently autonomous to justify preferential treatment in relation to the PRC, especially with the issuance of the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (the “Hong Kong National Security Law”) on July 1, 2020. Hong Kong will now be treated as Mainland China, in terms of visa application, academic exchange, tariffs and trading, etc. According to § 3(c) of the executive order issued on July 14, 2020, the license exception for exports and reexports to Hong Kong and transfer within the PRC is revoked, while exports of defense items are banned. On the other hand, the existing punitive tariffs the U.S. imposed on Mainland China will also be applied to Hong Kong exports. Losing its special status, Hong Kong’s competitiveness as the logistic hub may deteriorate in the future as its tax benefits as a result of preferential situation no longer exists and companies might prefer exporting through other cities. The level of activities of domestic exports and re-exports and other trading activities in Hong Kong may decline owing to the tariff being imposed on Hong Kong exports and the export restriction. In the event that Hong Kong loses its position as a logistics hub in Asia, the demand for freight forwarding services, ancillary logistics services, warehousing services, the overall business activities of the freight forwarding industries and thus our business, financial condition and results of operations, may be adversely affected.

Termination of the U.S.-Hong Kong International Shipping Agreement may have an adverse effect on our ocean freight forwarding services and results of operations.

Changes to trade policies and treaties, or the perception that these changes could occur, could adversely affect the financial and economic conditions in the jurisdictions in which we operate, as well as our financial condition and results of operations. In response to the Hong Kong National Security Law, the United States, amongst other sanctions aimed to eliminate certain preferential treatment of Hong Kong, announced the suspension or termination of three bilateral agreements signed between Hong Kong and the U.S. in August 2020, including the U.S.-Hong Kong International Shipping Agreement, which provided reciprocal tax exemption on income derived from the international operation of ships by the U.S. and Hong Kong residents. As a result of the termination of the U.S.-Hong Kong International Shipping Agreement, the U.S. and Hong Kong tax exemptions are no longer generally available to Hong Kong and U.S. shipping companies trading to each other’s territories. Thus, when a Hong Kong company whose vessel transports goods to or from the U.S. by sea, 50% of the income generated will generally be treated as arising from U.S. sources and will be subject to U.S. tax at an effective tax rate of 4% up to 44.7%, increasing the tax exposure of Hong Kong shipping companies.

The revenue attributable to our ocean freight forwarding services amounted to approximately US$6.7 million, US$4.7 million and US$1.3 million, representing approximately 5.1%, 4.8% and 1.0% of our total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023 respectively. The termination of the U.S.-HK International Shipping Agreement may increase the costs of ocean freight rates when the Hong Kong shipping companies pass the new U.S. tax costs to their customers such as our Operating Subsidiaries, resulting in an increase in cost of services of our Operating Subsidiaries. If we are unable to pass on the increased costs to our customers, our results of operations would be adversely affected. If we are able to pass on the costs to our customers, the customers’ demand on our ocean freight forwarding services may decrease as a result of higher ocean freight rates. Moreover, U.S. or other shipping companies trading to Mainland China or Asia may choose other port options other than Hong Kong as the new tax exposure may create financial pressure to avoid trading to Hong Kong in the future, resulting in the decrease in the customers’ demand on our ocean freight forwarding services, thus adversely affecting our ocean freight forwarding business and results of operations.

Risk Related to PSI’s Corporate Structure

You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through U.S. courts may be limited, because we are incorporated in the Cayman Islands.

We are an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. We conduct our operations outside the United States and substantially all of our assets are located outside the United States. In addition, substantially all of our directors and executive officers named in this proxy statement/prospectus reside outside the

Table of Contents

United States, and most of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon our directors or officers or to enforce judgments obtained in the United States courts against our directors and officers. For more information regarding the relevant laws of the Cayman Islands and Hong Kong, see “Regulations Related to PSI.”

Our corporate affairs are governed by our Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Cayman Companies Act and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against our directors, actions by our minority shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our directors to us under the Cayman Islands laws 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 English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding authority, on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our directors under the Cayman Islands laws may not be as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has 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 standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States.

Shareholders of Cayman Islands companies like us have no general rights under the Cayman Islands laws to inspect corporate records, other than the Memorandum and Articles of Association and any special resolutions passed by such companies, and the registers of mortgages and charges of such companies. Our directors have discretion under our Memorandum and Articles of Association to determine whether or not, and under what conditions, our corporate records may be inspected by our shareholders, but are not obliged to make them available to our 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.

Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands, where our holding company was incorporated, differ significantly from requirements for companies incorporated in other jurisdictions such as the United States. We intend to follow certain home country practice with respect to our corporate governance after we consummate the Business Combination. If we do so, our shareholders may be afforded less protection than they otherwise would under rules and regulations applicable to U.S. domestic issuers.

As a result of all of the above, public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by our management, members of our board of directors, or our controlling shareholder than they would as public shareholders of a company incorporated in the United States. For a discussion of significant differences between the provisions of the Companies Act and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the United States and their shareholders, see “Description of Pubco Securities — Certain Differences in Corporate Law.”

Cayman Islands economic substance requirements may have an effect on our business and operations.

Pursuant to the International Tax Cooperation (Economic Substance) Act, 2018 of the Cayman Islands, or the ES Act, which came into force on January 1, 2019, a “relevant entity” is required to satisfy the economic substance test set out in the ES Act. A “relevant entity” includes an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands as is our Company. There are nine designated “relevant activities” under the ES Act, and for so long as our Company is carrying on activities which falls within any of the designated relevant activities, it shall comply with all applicable requirements under the ES Act. Based on the current interpretation of the ES Act, we believe that our Company is a pure equity holding company since the only business activity that the Company carries on is to hold equity participation in other entities and only earns dividends and capital gains. Accordingly, for so long as our Company is a “pure equity holding company”, it is only subject to the minimum substance requirements, which require us to (i) comply with all applicable filing requirements under the Companies Act; and (ii) has adequate human resources and adequate premises in the Cayman Islands for holding and managing equity participations in other entities. However, there can be no assurance that we will not be subject to more requirements under the ES Act. Uncertainties over the interpretation and implementation of the ES Act may have an adverse impact on our business and operations.

We rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by the Operating Subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, and any limitation on the ability of the Operating Subsidiaries to make payments to us could have a material adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business.

PSI is a holding company and we rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by the Operating Subsidiaries for our cash and financing requirements, including the funds necessary to pay dividends and other cash distributions to our shareholders and service any debt we may incur. In November, 2023, we declared and made dividends to our shareholders and assigned the Operating Subsidiary to pay out such dividends. Except for this, for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, we did not declare or make any dividends or other distribution to our shareholders, including U.S. investors, nor were any dividends or distributions made by the Operating Subsidiaries to our company. In addition, we do not intend to distribute earnings or pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future to settle amounts or otherwise. Instead, we anticipate that we will retain any earnings to support operations and to finance the growth and development of our business. Subject to PSI having sufficient legally available funds and is able to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business, there are no restrictions or limitations under the laws of Cayman Islands on the payment of dividends by PSI to its shareholders. There are also no restrictions or limitations under the laws of the BVI on the distribution of earnings from a subsidiary to the parent company or investors, so long as the value of the assets of the BVI subsidiary declaring the dividends will exceed its liabilities and the BVI subsidiary will be able to pay its debts as they fall due. Similarly, there are no restrictions or limitations under the laws of Hong Kong on the distribution of the available profits from a Hong Kong subsidiary to the parent company or investors. In addition, dividend payments are not subject to withholding tax in Cayman Island, BVI or Hong Kong. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the Operating Subsidiaries incurs debt on its own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to us. See “Price Range of Securities and Dividend Information –– Dividend Policy” for more information.

Under the current practice of the Inland Revenue Department of Hong Kong, no tax is payable in Hong Kong in respect of dividends paid by us; however, any limitation on the ability of our Hong Kong subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to us could materially and adversely limit our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business, pay dividends, or otherwise fund and conduct our business. See “Regulations Related to PSI –– Hong Kong Regulations.”

Our controlling shareholder has substantial influence over PSI. His interests may not be aligned with the interests of our other shareholders, and it could prevent or cause a change of control or other transactions.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Mr. Yee Kit Chan, our chairman of the board of directors, who controls 100% of each of Grand Pro Development Limited and Profit Sail SAS Holdings Company Limited, beneficially owns an aggregate of 77.7% of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares. Immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination, Mr. Chan is expected to own 61.6% of the issued and outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares, assuming a no redemption scenario (64.1% assuming a maximum redemption scenario). Accordingly, our controlling shareholder could control the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to the shareholders for approval, including mergers, consolidations, the election of directors and other significant corporate actions, including the power to prevent or cause a change in control. The interests of our largest shareholder may differ from the interests of our other shareholders. Without the consent of our controlling shareholder, we may be prevented from entering into transactions that could be beneficial to us or our other shareholders. The concentration in the ownership of our shares may cause a material decline in the value of our shares. For more information regarding our principal shareholders and their affiliated entities, see “Beneficial Ownership of Pubco Securities Following the Business Combination — Principal Shareholders.”

Risks Related to Taxation

If Pubco is characterized as a passive foreign investment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes, its U.S. shareholders may suffer adverse tax consequences.

If Pubco is a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. holder of Pubco Ordinary Shares, the U.S. holder may be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences and may be subject to additional reporting requirements. Pubco’s PFIC status for its current and subsequent taxable years may depend on its unbooked goodwill as valued based on the market value of Pubco’s equity and whether it qualifies for the PFIC start-up exception. Depending on the

Table of Contents

particular circumstances, the application of the start-up exception may be subject to uncertainty, and there cannot be any assurance that Pubco will qualify for the start-up exception. Accordingly, there can be no assurances with respect to Pubco’s status as a PFIC for its current taxable year or any subsequent taxable year. Pubco’s actual PFIC status for any taxable year, however, will not be determinable until after the end of such taxable year. Please see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Material Tax Considerations — U.S. Holders — Ownership and Disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares by U.S. Holders — Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules” for a more detailed discussion with respect to Pubco’s potential PFIC status. U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the possible application of the PFIC rules to holders of Pubco Ordinary Shares.

Future changes to tax laws could materially and adversely affect Pubco and reduce net returns to Pubco’s shareholders.

Pubco’s tax treatment is subject to changes in tax laws, regulations, and treaties, or the interpretation thereof, tax policy initiatives and reforms under consideration, and the practices of tax authorities in jurisdictions in which Pubco operates. The income and other tax rules in the jurisdictions in which Pubco operates are constantly under review by taxing authorities and other governmental bodies. Changes to tax laws (which changes may have retroactive application) could adversely affect Pubco or its shareholders. Pubco is unable to predict what tax proposals may be proposed or enacted in the future or what effect such changes would have on Pubco’s business, but such changes, to the extent they are brought into tax legislation, regulations, policies, or practices, could affect Pubco’s financial position and overall or effective tax rates in the future in countries where Pubco has operations and where Pubco is organized or resident for tax purposes, and increase the complexity, burden, and cost of tax compliance. Pubco urges investors to consult with their legal and tax advisors regarding the implication of potential changes in tax laws on an investment in Pubco Ordinary Shares.

Risks Related to AIB and the Business Combination

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this subsection to the “Company,” “AIB,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to the business of AIB and its subsidiaries prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.

The Business Combination is subject to conditions, including certain conditions that may not be satisfied on a timely basis, if at all.

Unless waived by the parties to the Business Combination Agreement, and subject to applicable law, the consummation of the Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. For more information about conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination, see “The Business Combination Agreement and Other Transaction Documents — The Business Combination Agreement and Related Agreements — General Description of the Business Combination Agreement — Conditions to Closing.”

The ability of AIB Public Shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to AIB Public Shares may prevent AIB from completing the Business Combination or maximizing its capital structure.

AIB does not know how many AIB Public Shareholders will ultimately exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination. As such, the Business Combination is structured based on AIB’s expectations (and those of other parties to the Business Combination Agreement) as to the amount of funds available in the Trust Account after giving effect to any redemptions of AIB Public Shares.

If too many AIB Public Shareholders elect to redeem their shares, the funds remaining in the Trust Account alone may be insufficient to complete the Business Combination and additional third-party financing may not be available to AIB. For information regarding the parameters of the minimum cash condition described in this paragraph, see “The Business Combination Agreement and Other Transaction Documents — The Business Combination Agreement and Related Agreements — General Description of the Business Combination Agreement — Conditions to Closing” and “The Business Combination Agreement and Other Transaction Documents — The Business Combination Agreement and Related Agreements — General Description of the Business Combination Agreement — Covenants of the Parties.”

Table of Contents

AIB’s Sponsor controls a substantial interest in AIB and thus may exert a substantial influence as to whether the Proposals presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal and the Merger Proposal, are approved, potentially in a manner that AIB Public Shareholders do not support.

As of [ ], 2024, the Record Date for the Meeting, AIB Initial Shareholders, including its Sponsor, beneficially owned and are entitled to vote an aggregate of 2,156,250 Founder Shares, which constitute approximately 59.7% of the outstanding AIB Ordinary Shares. Additionally, an aggregate of 345,625 Private Shares underlying the 345,625 Private Placement Units acquired by the Sponsor in connection with a private placement that closed simultaneously with the AIB IPO. These Private Shares constitute approximately 9.6% of the outstanding AIB Ordinary Shares as of [ ], 2024. As such, the Founder Shares, the Private Shares underlying the Private Placement Units held by AIB Initial Shareholders in the aggregate represent approximately 69.3% of the outstanding AIB Ordinary Shares as of [ ], 2024, which is sufficient to approve the Business Combination Proposal.

In addition, until the consummation of the Business Combination or another initial business combination, only holders of AIB Class B Ordinary Shares may vote to appoint or remove directors. Accordingly, AIB Initial Shareholders may exert a substantial influence on the outcome of the Proposals presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal and the Merger Proposal, potentially in a manner that is not supported by some or all of AIB Public Shareholders. If AIB Initial Shareholders purchase AIB Class A Ordinary Shares prior to the Record Date for the Extraordinary General Meeting, this would increase their control. None of the AIB Initial Shareholders, officers or directors have any commitments or agreements to purchase additional AIB securities or, to AIB’s knowledge, has any current intention to purchase additional securities. Accordingly, the Sponsor will continue to exert control at least until the consummation of the Business Combination.

Since the Sponsor and AIB’s directors and officers have interests that are different, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), the interests of AIB shareholders, a conflict of interest may have existed in determining whether the Business Combination with PSI is appropriate as AIB’s initial business combination. Such interests include that the Sponsor will lose its entire investment in AIB if the business combination is not completed.

• the fact that the Sponsor paid approximately $0.01 per share, or an aggregate of $25,000, for the 2,156,250 Founder Shares (after a share dividend of 0.5 shares for each Class B Ordinary Shares) initially held by the Sponsor, which will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination, if it is consummated. On October 18, 2023, AIB issued an aggregate of 2,156,249 Class A Ordinary Shares, to the Sponsor, upon the Conversion of an equal number of Class B Ordinary Shares, held by the Sponsor. Based on the closing sales price of Class A Ordinary Shares on May 22, 2024, the aggregate value of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares held by the Sponsor as of the same date was approximately $24,861,563. If AIB does not consummate the Business Combination or another initial business combination by January 21, 2025 (or a later date, if the deadline for AIB to complete its initial business combination is extended by an amendment to the Current Charter), and AIB is therefore required to be liquidated, these shares would be worthless, as the Founder Shares are not entitled to participate in any redemption or liquidation of the Trust Account. Based on the difference in the purchase price of approximately $0.01 per share that the Sponsor paid for the Founder Shares, as compared to the purchase price of $10.00 per Unit sold in the IPO, the Sponsor may earn a positive rate of return even if the share price of Pubco after the Closing falls below the price initially paid for the Units in the IPO and the Public Shareholders experience a negative rate of return following the Closing;

Table of Contents

The Sponsor will benefit from the completion of an initial business combination and may be incentivized to complete the acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to shareholders rather than to liquidate;

• the fact that the Sponsor paid $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, or an aggregate of $3,456,250, for the 345,625 Private Placement Units acquired by the Sponsor in a private placement simultaneous with the IPO and the full exercise of underwriters’ over-allotment option. Based on the closing sales price of AIB Units on May 22, 2024, the aggregate value of the Private Placement Unit held by the Sponsor as of the same date was approximately $ 3,459,706. If AIB consummates the Business Combination, the shares that are components of the Private Placement Units and the shares issuable pursuant to the Private Rights included in the Private Placement Units will be converted into Pubco Ordinary Shares at the time of the Business Combination. However, if AIB does not consummate Business Combination or another business combination by January 21, 2025 (or a later date, if the deadline for AIB to complete its initial business combination is extended by an amendment to the Current Charter), and AIB is therefore required to be liquidated, these securities may be worthless;

• the fact that if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event AIB is unable to complete an initial business combination by January 21, 2025 (or a later date, if the deadline for AIB to complete its initial business combination is extended by an amendment to the Current Charter), the Sponsor has agreed to indemnify AIB to the extent necessary to preserve the funds in the Trust Account, provided that such obligation shall only apply to the extent necessary any such claims for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to AIB, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.10 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 due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay AIB’s tax obligations, 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 AIB’s indemnity of the underwriters of AIB’s IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act;

• the fact that AIB may not be able to reimburse its officers, directors or their affiliates for certain out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them related to investigating, negotiating and completing an initial business combination unless the Business Combination or another initial business combination is consummated. As of March 31, 2024, the Sponsor had advanced $58,000, which included $20,000 expenses paid by the Sponsor on behalf of AIB. However, in the future, officers, directors or their affiliates may incur additional expenses for which they expect to be reimbursed at the closing of a business combination. There is no limit on the amount of out-of-pocket expenses reimbursable by AIB. However, if AIB fails to consummate a business combination by January 21, 2025 (or a later date, if the deadline for AIB to complete its initial business combination is extended by an amendment to the

Table of Contents

Current Charter), AIB’s officers, directors and their affiliates will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. Accordingly, AIB may not be able to reimburse these expenses, if any, if the Business Combination or another business combination is not completed by such date;

• the fact that the Sponsor holds two Extension Notes in the aggregate principal amounts of up to $1,200,000, issued by AIB in connection with the Extensions, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan to AIB up to such amount in connection with the Extensions. AIB will deposit into the Trust Account $50,000 per month for each month of the Extensions, commencing on January 21, 2023 and continuing through January 21, 2025, or portion thereof, that is needed to complete an initial business combination, for up to an aggregate of $1,200,000. Each of the Extension Notes bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the Business Combination, and (b) the date of the liquidation of AIB. As of May 23, 2024, the Sponsor had deposited an aggregate of $850,000 (plus any applicable interest) into the Trust Account under the Extension Notes. In the event an initial business combination is consummated, the Extension Notes may be repaid out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the post-combination company. Otherwise, the Extension Notes would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a business combination does not close, AIB may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Extension Notes, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Extension Notes;

• the fact that the Sponsor holds a Working Capital Loan Note in the principal amount of up to $500,000, issued by AIB in connection with advances the Sponsor has made, and may make in the future, to AIB for working capital expenses. The Working Capital Loan Note bears no interest and is due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which AIB consummates its initial business combination and (ii) the date that the winding up of AIB is effective. At the election of the Sponsor, up to $500,000 of the unpaid principal amount of the Working Capital Loan Note may, in the event an initial business combination is consummated, be converted into Conversion Units of AIB, each unit consisting of one AIB Class A Ordinary Share and one right exchangeable into one-tenth of one AIB Class A Ordinary Share, equal to: (x) the portion of the principal amount of this note being converted, divided by (y) $10.00, rounded up to the nearest whole number of units. The Conversion Units are identical to the Private Placement Units. The Conversion Units and their underlying securities are entitled to the registration rights set forth in the note. As of December 31, 2023, there was $500,000 outstanding under the Working Capital Loan Note. As of March 31, 2024, there was $500,000 outstanding under the Working Capital Loan Note. Based on the closing sales price of AIB Units on May 22, 2024, the aggregate value of the Conversion Units held by the Sponsor as of March 31, 2024 was approximately $500,500. By contrast, if AIB is unable to consummate an initial business combination and is forced to liquidate, the Working Capital Loan Note would be due upon the winding up of AIB and the affiliates of AIB that contributed funds to the Sponsor in connection therewith would be repaid for their contributions. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, if the Working Capital Loan Note is converted into Conversion Units, then AIB shall promptly deliver one or more new duly executed note(s) to the Sponsor in the principal amount that remains outstanding, if any, after any such conversion;

• the fact that, if AIB is unable to consummate the Business Combination or another initial business combination by January 21, 2025, unless the time period to consummate AIB’s initial business combination is extended pursuant to the Current Charter, Maxim or its designee will not be entitled to receive 301,875 Deferred Underwriting Shares that Maxim is entitled to received, pursuant to a December 21, 2023 amendment to the Underwriting Agreement, in lieu of the $3,018,750 deferred underwriting fees payable is contingent upon the consummation of an initial business combination pursuant to the original Underwriting Agreement. The Deferred Underwriting Shares will be issued to Maxim or its designee solely in the event that AIB completes an initial business combination, subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, as amended;

Table of Contents

• the fact that Maxim is serving as AIB’s sole M&A advisor for AIB’s Business Combination with PSI. In addition to the Deferred Underwriting Shares, Maxim will also be entitled to receive Pubco Ordinary Shares as payment for its advisory services, which is equivalent to 1.0% of the equity value of the PSI, with unlimited piggyback registration rights and the same rights afforded other holders of the Pubco Ordinary Shares issued in the Business Combination;

• the fact that AIB sold to the IPO underwriters, for $100, the Unit Purchase Option to purchase up to a total of 431,250 units of AIB, exercisable, in whole or in part, at $11.00 per Unit, commencing on the consummation of AIB’s initial business combination. The Unit Purchase Option may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and expires five years from January 18, 2022.

The existence of personal and financial interests of one or more of AIB’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he or they may believe is in the best interests of AIB and its shareholders and what he or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the Proposals. For additional information on the interests and relationships of AIB Initial Shareholders in the Business Combination, see “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus — Interests of AIB’s Initial Shareholders and Advisors in the Business Combination,” “Proposal No.1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of AIB’s Initial Shareholders and Advisors in the Business Combination,” and “Beneficial Ownership of AIB Securities Before the Business Combination.”

AIB’s Current Charter includes a waiver of business opportunities, which would otherwise require directors and officers to offer business opportunities of which they become aware to AIB. Consequently, under AIB’s Current Charter, AIB’s directors and officers are not obligated to introduce to AIB business opportunities of which they became aware in which AIB may have had an interest but could offer such business opportunities to others or pursue them for their own benefit.

Nonetheless, the personal and financial interests of AIB’s 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 AIB’s directors and officers to prioritize a different business combination over finding a suitable acquisition target for its business combination. Consequently, AIB’s 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 AIB shareholders’ best interest, which could negatively impact the timing for a business combination. AIB is not aware of any such conflicts of interest and does not believe that any such conflicts of interest have impacted its search for an acquisition target.

If a corporation waives the corporate opportunity doctrine, a director or officer of the corporation has an inherent conflict of interest in deciding whether to present a particular business opportunity to that or any other corporation on whose board such individual serves or to pursue it for such individual’s own personal interests. AIB is not aware of any officer or director of AIB that was required to forego presenting any opportunity to acquire a target business to AIB as a result of a pre-existing fiduciary contractual obligation and, to AIB’s knowledge, the waiver of the business opportunities doctrine in the Current Charter did not impact AIB’s search for an acquisition target.

The personal and financial interests of the Sponsor as well as AIB’s directors and officers may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting PSI as a business combination target, completing an initial business combination with PSI, and influencing the operation of the business following the initial business combination. In considering the recommendations of AIB’s board of directors to vote for the Proposals, its shareholders should consider these interests.

Table of Contents

The exercise of AIB’s directors’ and executive officers’ discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the Business Combination may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the Business Combination or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in AIB shareholders’ best interest.

In the period leading up to the Closing, events may occur that, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, would require AIB to agree to amend the Business Combination Agreement, to consent to certain actions taken by PSI or to waive rights that AIB is entitled to under the Business Combination Agreement. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of PSI’s business or a request by PSI to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. In any of such circumstances, it would be at AIB’s discretion to grant its consent or waive those rights. The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of the directors or officers described in the preceding risk factors (and described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus) may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) or officer(s) between what he, she or they may believe is best for AIB and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining whether or not to take the requested action.

AIB and PSI will incur significant transaction and transition costs in connection with the Business Combination.

AIB and PSI have both incurred and expect to incur significant, non-recurring costs in connection with consummating the Business Combination and operating as a public company following the consummation of the Business Combination. AIB and PSI may also incur additional costs to retain key employees. Certain transaction costs incurred in connection with the Business Combination Agreement (including the Business Combination), including all legal, accounting, consulting, investment banking and other fees, expenses and costs, will be paid by AIB following the Closing.

The announcement of the proposed Business Combination could disrupt PSI’s relationships with its suppliers, business partners and others, as well as its operating results and business generally.

Whether or not the Business Combination and related transactions are ultimately consummated, as a result of uncertainty related to the proposed transactions, risks relating to the impact of the announcement of the Business Combination on PSI’s business include the following:

• its employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles, which might adversely affect PSI’s ability to retain and hire key personnel and other employees;

• customers, suppliers, business partners and other parties with which PSI maintains business relationships may experience uncertainty about its future and seek alternative relationships with third parties, seek to alter their business relationships with PSI or fail to extend an existing relationship with PSI; and

• PSI continues to expend and will continue to expend significant costs, fees and expenses for professional services and transaction costs in connection with the proposed Business Combination.

If any of these potential developments were to materialize, they could lead to significant costs which may impact PSI and, in the future, PSI’s results of operations and cash available to fund its business.

The Business Combination may disrupt PSI’s current business plans and operations and may cause difficulties in retaining its employees.

Uncertainties about the effect of the Business Combination on employees may have an adverse effect on PSI. These uncertainties may impair PSI’s ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the Business Combination is completed. Retention of certain employees may be challenging during the pendency of the Business Combination, as certain employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles. If key employees depart because of issues relating to the uncertainty or a desire not to remain with the business, Pubco’s business following the Business Combination could be negatively impacted. In addition, the Business Combination Agreement restricts PSI from making certain expenditures and taking other specified actions without the consent of AIB until the Business Combination occurs. These restrictions may prevent PSI from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the Business Combination.

Table of Contents

Subsequent to the consummation of the Business Combination, Pubco may be exposed to unknown or contingent liabilities and 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 AIB shareholders to lose some or all of your investment.

Although AIB has conducted due diligence on PSI, AIB cannot assure AIB Public Shareholders that this diligence revealed all material issues that may be present in PSI’s businesses, that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence, or that factors outside of AIB’s or PSI’s control will not later arise. As a result, Pubco may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure Pubco’s operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in losses. Even if the due diligence successfully identifies certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with AIB’s preliminary risk analysis. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and not have an immediate impact on Pubco’s liquidity, the fact that Pubco reports charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about Pubco or Pubco’s securities. Accordingly, any shareholders who choose to remain shareholders following the Business Combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares. Such shareholders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value unless they are able to successfully claim that the reduction was due to the breach by AIB’s officers or directors of a duty of care or other fiduciary duty owed to them, or if they are able to successfully bring a private claim under securities laws that the proxy solicitation relating to the Business Combination contained an actionable material misstatement or material omission.

AIB does not have a specified maximum redemption threshold. The absence of such a redemption threshold may make it possible for AIB to complete the Business Combination with which a substantial majority of AIB shareholders do not agree.

The Current Charter does not provide a specified maximum redemption threshold, except that AIB will not redeem AIB Public Shares in an amount that would cause AIB’s net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act).

As a result, AIB may be able to complete the Business Combination even though a substantial portion of AIB Public Shareholders do not agree with the transaction and have redeemed their shares or have entered into privately negotiated agreements to sell their shares to Sponsor, directors or officers, or their affiliates. No agreements with respect to the private purchase of AIB Public Shares by AIB or the persons described above have been entered into with any such investor or holder. AIB will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any material arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the Proposals to be presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting or the redemption threshold. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

AIB Initial Shareholders have agreed to vote their AIB Ordinary Shares in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how AIB Public Shareholders vote.

Unlike some other blank check companies in which the initial shareholders agree to vote their shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the AIB Public Shareholders in connection with an initial business combination, pursuant to the Insider Letter Agreement, AIB Initial Shareholders have agreed to vote the AIB Ordinary Shares held by them in favor of any business combination presented to them for a vote; provided, that such voting obligations with respect to any Public Shares purchased in connection with the Business Combination would be waived by AIB. For more information, see “— The Sponsor, AIB’s directors, officers, advisors, and their affiliates may elect to purchase AIB Public Shares prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, which may influence the vote on the Business Combination and reduce the public “float” of AIB Ordinary Shares.” As of [ ], 2024, the Record Date for the Meeting, AIB Initial Shareholders, including its Sponsor, beneficially owned and are entitled to vote an aggregate of 2,156,250 Founder Shares, which constitute approximately 59.7% of the outstanding AIB Ordinary Shares. Additionally, an aggregate of 345,625 Private Shares underlying the 345,625 Private Placement Units acquired by the Sponsor in connection with a private placement that closed simultaneously with the AIB IPO. These Private Shares constitute approximately 9.6% of the outstanding AIB Ordinary Shares as of [ ], 2024. As such, the Founder Shares and the Private Shares underlying the Private Placement Units held by AIB Initial Shareholders in the aggregate represent approximately 69.3% of the outstanding AIB Ordinary Shares as of [ ], 2024, which is sufficient to approve the Business Combination Proposal.

Accordingly, the Business Combination could be approved even if the majority of the votes cast by the AIB Public Shareholders are against it.

The Insider Letter Agreement may be amended without shareholder approval.

The Insider Letter Agreement contains provisions relating to transfer restrictions of Founder Shares and Private Shares, indemnification of the Trust Account and waiver of redemption rights and participation in liquidation distributions from the Trust Account. The Insider Letter Agreement may be amended by the parties thereto, without shareholder approval. While AIB does not expect the AIB Board to approve any amendment to this agreement prior to the Business Combination, it may be possible that the AIB Board, in exercising its business judgment and subject to its fiduciary duties and any restrictions under the Business Combination Agreement, chooses to approve one or more amendments to such agreement. Any such amendment may have an adverse effect on the value of an investment in AIB’s securities or the likelihood that there will not be Public Share redemptions that could affect the ability to consummate the Business Combination.

The Sponsor, AIB’s directors, officers, advisors, and their affiliates may elect to purchase AIB Public Shares prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, which may influence the vote on the Business Combination and reduce the public “float” of AIB Ordinary Shares.

At any time prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding AIB or AIB’s securities, the Sponsor AIB’s directors, officers, advisors and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares, rights and/or units from investors, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire AIB Ordinary Shares or vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal.

The purpose of purchases by AIB’s directors, officers, advisors prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood that the Proposals presented to shareholders for approval at the Extraordinary General Meeting are approved or to provide additional equity financing. Any such share purchases and other transactions may thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining shareholder approval of the Business Combination. This may result in the completion of the Business Combination that may not otherwise have been possible. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including the granting of put options.

Entering into any such incentive arrangements may have a depressive effect on outstanding AIB Ordinary Shares. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he or she owns, either prior to or immediately after the Extraordinary General Meeting.

In the event that the Sponsor, AIB’s directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates purchase shares of AIB Ordinary Shares from AIB public shareholders, such purchases would be structured in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act including, in pertinent part, through adherence to the following:

• This proxy statement/prospectus discloses the possibility that the Sponsor, AIB’s directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates may purchase AIB Ordinary Shares from AIB public shareholders outside the redemption process, along with the purpose of such purchases;

• If the Sponsor, AIB’s directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates were to purchase AIB Ordinary Shares, they would do so at a price no higher than the price offered through the redemption process;

• Any AIB Ordinary Shares purchased by the Sponsor, AIB’s directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates would not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination, and AIB would waive any requirement of such persons to do so;

Table of Contents

• The Sponsor, AIB’s directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates purchasing AIB Ordinary Shares would not possess any redemption rights with respect to the shares or, if they do possess redemption rights, they would waive such rights; and

• AIB will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the Proposals to be voted on at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Any such report will include (i) the amount of AIB 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 AIB Ordinary Shares for which AIB has received redemption requests.

In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of AIB Public Shares and the number of beneficial holders of AIB securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing, or trading of AIB’s securities on a national securities exchange.

There are risks to AIB shareholders who are not affiliates of the Sponsor of becoming shareholders of Pubco through the Business Combination rather than acquiring securities of PSI 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 AIB’s securities in connection therewith, investors will not receive the benefit of any outside independent review of AIB’s and PSI’s respective finances and operations. 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 any material misstatements or omissions in a registration statement filed in connection with the public offering. As no such review will be conducted in connection with the Business Combination, AIB 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 independent underwriter in a public securities offering.

If PSI became a public company through an underwritten public offering, the underwriters for such offering would be subject to liability under Section 11 of the Securities Act for material misstatements and omissions in the initial public offering registration statement. In general, an underwriter is able to avoid liability under Section 11 if it can prove that, it “had, after reasonable investigation, reasonable ground to believe and did believe, at the time the registration statement became effective, that the statements therein (other than the audited financial statements) were true and that there was no omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.” In order to fulfill its duty to conduct a “reasonable investigation,” an underwriter will, in addition to conducting a significant amount of due diligence on its own, usually require that an issuer’s independent registered public accounting firm provide a comfort letter with respect to certain numbers included in the registration statement and will require the law firm for the issuer to include in its legal opinion to the underwriters a statement that such counsel is not aware of any material misstatements or omissions in the initial public offering registration statement (“Counsel Negative Assurance Statements”). Auditor comfort letters and Counsel Negative Assurance Statements are generally not required in connection with private companies going public through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company, such as AIB, and no auditor comfort letters or Counsel Negative Assurance Statements have been requested or obtained in connection with the Business Combination or the preparation of this proxy statement/prospectus. In addition, the amount of due diligence conducted by AIB and its advisors in connection with the Business Combination may not be as high as would have been undertaken by an underwriter in connection with an initial public offering of PSI. Accordingly, it is possible that defects in PSI’s business or problems with PSI’s management that would have been discovered if PSI conducted an underwritten public offering will not be discovered in connection with the Business Combination, which could adversely affect the market price of Pubco Ordinary Shares.

Unlike an underwritten initial public offering, the initial trading of Pubco’s securities will not benefit from the book-building process undertaken by underwriters that helps to inform efficient price discovery with respect to opening trades of newly listed shares and underwriter support to help stabilize, maintain or affect the public price of the new issue immediately after listing. The lack of such a process in connection with the listing of Pubco’s securities on Nasdaq could result in diminished investor demand, inefficiencies in pricing and a more volatile public price for Pubco’s securities during the period immediately following the listing.

Furthermore, the Sponsor and certain of AIB’s directors and executive officers have interests in the Business Combination that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of our shareholders generally. Such interests may have influenced AIB’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 “— Since the Sponsor and AIB’s directors and officers have interests that are different, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), the interests of AIB shareholders, a conflict of interest may have existed in determining whether the Business Combination with PSI is appropriate as AIB’s initial business combination. Such interests include that the Sponsor will lose its entire investment in AIB if the business combination is not completed” and “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of AIB’s Initial Shareholders and Advisors in the Business Combination.”

If third parties bring claims against AIB, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $11.66 per share (based on the Trust Account balance as of March 31, 2024).

AIB’s placing of funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third-party claims against AIB. Although AIB seeks to have vendors, service providers (other than AIB’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses and other entities with which AIB does business execute agreements with AIB waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account, including, but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain advantage with respect to a claim against AIB’s assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, AIB’s management will consider whether competitive alternatives are reasonably available to AIB and will only enter into an agreement with such third party if management believes that such third party’s engagement would be in the best interests of AIB under the circumstances. Neither AIB’s auditor, UHY LLP, nor Maxim, has or will execute an agreement with AIB waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account.

Examples of possible instances where AIB may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third-party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with AIB and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. Upon redemption of the AIB Public Shares, if AIB has not completed its business combination within the required time period, or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with its business combination, AIB will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against AIB within the 10 years following redemption. Accordingly, the per share redemption amount received by AIB Public Shareholders could be less than the $11.66 per Public Share (based on the Trust Account balance as of March 31, 2024), due to claims of such creditors.

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to AIB if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which AIB 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) $10.10 per AIB Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per AIB Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay AIB’s tax obligations, 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 AIB’s indemnity of the underwriters of the AIB IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, 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. AIB has not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of AIB’s company. The Sponsor may not have sufficient funds available to satisfy those obligations. AIB has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such obligations, and therefore, no funds are currently set aside to cover any such obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account,

Table of Contents

the funds available for AIB’s business combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.10 per Public Share. In such event, AIB may not be able to complete AIB’s business combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of your AIB Public Shares. None of AIB’s directors or officers will indemnify AIB for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

Additionally, if AIB is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against AIB which is not dismissed, or if AIB otherwise enters compulsory or court supervised liquidation, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law and may be included in AIB’s bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of AIB shareholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, AIB may not be able to return to the AIB Public Shareholders $11.66 per share (which is amount per AIB Public Share based on the Trust Account balance as of March 31, 2024). AIB has access to the amounts held outside the Trust Account ($6,552 as of March 31, 2024), in addition to up to $100,000 of interest earned on funds held in the Trust Account, with which to pay any such potential claims, including costs and expenses incurred in connection with our liquidation. In the event that AIB liquidates and it is subsequently determined that the reserve for claims and liabilities is insufficient, shareholders who received funds from our Trust Account could be liable for claims made by creditors, however such liability will not be greater than the amount of funds from AIB’s Trust Account received by any such shareholder.

Past performance by any member or members of our management team or the Sponsor or any of their respective affiliates may not be indicative of future performance of an investment in AIB or PSI.

Past performance by any member or members of our management team, the Sponsor, or any of their respective current or former affiliates or entities related to one or more of them, is not a guarantee of success with respect to the Business Combination. You should not rely on the historical record of any member or members of our management team, any of their respective current or former affiliates or entities related to one or more of them, or any of the foregoing’s related investment’s performance, as indicative of the future performance of an investment in AIB or PSI or the returns AIB or PSI will, or is likely to, generate going forward.

Nasdaq suspended AIB’s securities from trading on its exchange prior to the Business Combination, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in AIB’s securities and subject AIB to additional trading restrictions.

Also on May 11, 2023, AIB received a deficiency letter from the Staff of Nasdaq notifying AIB that, for the preceding 30 consecutive business days, AIB’s MVPHS was below the MVPHS Requirement of $15 million for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(3)(C). The Nasdaq rules provided AIB with a compliance period of 180 calendar days in which to regain compliance with each of the MVLS and MVPHS requirements. If, at any time during the compliance period, AIB’s MVLS closed at $50 million or more and AIB’s MVPHS closed at $15 million or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq would provide AIB with written confirmation of compliance.

On September 25, 2023, AIB received a Deficiency Notice from the Staff of Nasdaq notifying AIB that AIB’s Public Holders were below the 400 Public Holders Requirement for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2). The Nasdaq rules provided AIB 45 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance. On November 9, 2023, AIB submitted its plan to regain compliance with the Public Holders Requirement.

On November 22, 2023, AIB received the Notice from the Staff of Nasdaq indicating that it had determined to delist AIB’s securities due to AIB’s non-compliance with the MVLS Requirement and the MVPHS Requirement. The Staff of Nasdaq also noted that AIB’s noncompliance with the Public Holders Requirement served as an additional basis for delisting.

Table of Contents

Pursuant to the Notice, unless AIB timely requested a hearing before the Panel, AIB’s securities would be subject to suspension and delisting from The Nasdaq Global Market at the opening of business on December 1, 2023. AIB timely requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), which hearing request stayed the suspension and delisting of AIB’s securities pending conclusion of the hearings process. On February 13, 2024, AIB received a letter from the Staff indicating that AIB had regained compliance with the MVPHS Requirement.

At a hearing on February 22, 2024, AIB presented its compliance plan to the Panel. On March 14, 2024, the Panel issued its decision, which granted AIB’s request for continued listing until May 20, 2024, subject to certain conditions, including that (i) on or before May 1, 2024, AIB shall advise the Panel on the status of the SEC review of the Form F-4, (ii) on or before May 15, 2024, AIB shall hold a shareholder meeting and obtain approval for completion of its initial business combination, and (iii) on or before May 20, 2024, AIB shall close its initial business combination and the new entity shall demonstrate compliance with Listing Rule 5505. On May 1, 2024, AIB notified the Panel that it would not close an initial business combination by the Panel’s May 20, 2024 deadline. On May 7, 2024, AIB received written notice from the Panel indicating that the Panel had decided to delist AIB’s securities from Nasdaq and trading of AIB securities would be suspended at the open of trading on May 9, 2024, due to AIB’s failure to comply with the terms of the Panel’s decision issued on March 14, 2024. AIB did not appeal the Panel’s decision to the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council (the “Council”), but instead determined to focus its attention on completion of an initial business combination, termination of the Trading Suspension, and resumption of trading on a post-business combination basis on Nasdaq. There can be no assurance that the Trading Suspension will be lifted prior to the Closing. PSI is entitled to terminate the Business Combination Agreement, if AIB Ordinary Shares have become delisted from Nasdaq for more than sixty (60) days and such condition is not waived by PSI. Further, although the parties intend to complete the Business Combination before a Form 25 is filed, it is uncertain if Pubco will be able to meet Nasdaq’s initial listing requirements to list its securities on Nasdaq, which is a condition to the Closing. While such condition can be waived mutually by the parties to the Business Combination Agreement, PSI does not intend to waive such condition.

If the delisting process for AIB Ordinary Shares is completed prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and such event materially impacts the parties’ ability to complete the Business Combination on the terms thereof or the combined company’s ability to list on a national securities exchange, AIB will promptly file a Current Report on Form 8-K to report such event, with sufficient advance notice prior to the consummation of the Business Combination for stockholders to make an investment decision with respect to their shares.

If (i) AIB is not able to list its securities on another national securities exchange, (ii) the parties to the Business Combination Agreement waive applicable listing conditions as a condition to the Closing, and (iii) the Business Combination closes and shareholders receive unlisted shares, then AIB expects that its securities will be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, AIB and Pubco could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

• a limited availability of market quotations for its securities;

• reduced liquidity for its securities;

• a determination that its AIB Class A Ordinary Shares are “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in AIB Class A Ordinary Shares to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for its securities;

• a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

• a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future. The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” To the extent that AIB’s Units, AIB Class A Ordinary Shares and Public Rights remain listed on Nasdaq, such securities are covered securities. Although the states are preempted from regulating the sale of AIB’s securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. While AIB is not aware of a state having used these powers to prohibit or restrict the sale of securities issued by blank check companies, other than the state of Idaho, certain state securities regulators view blank check companies unfavorably and might use these powers, or threaten to use these powers, to hinder the sale of securities of blank check companies in their states. To the extent that AIB is no longer listed on Nasdaq, its securities would not be covered securities and it would be subject to regulation in each state in which it offers its securities.

To the extent that AIB is no longer listed on Nasdaq, its securities would not be covered securities and it would be subject to regulation in each state in which it offers its securities, which may impose additional time and cost constraints on the parties’ ability to complete the Business Combination.

The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated if AIB Class A Ordinary Shares become delisted from Nasdaq and are not relisted on the Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange within 60 days after such delisting.

The Business Combination Agreement is subject to a number of conditions which must be satisfied or waived in order to complete the Business Combination and the Business Combination Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances, including that AIB Class A Ordinary Shares become delisted from Nasdaq and are not relisted on the Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange within 60 days after such delisting.

As a result of the Panel’s May 7, 2024 delisting decision, a Trading Suspension has been in place since May 9, 2024; however, the formal delisting will not take effect until all applicable Nasdaq review and appeal periods have expired and Nasdaq files a Form 25 with the SEC to effect the delisting. AIB did not appeal the Panel’s delisting decision to the Council; however, the Council may, on its own motion, determine to review any Panel decision within 45 calendar days after issuance of the Panel’s decision. Upon review, the Council may affirm, modify, reverse, dismiss or remand this decision to the Panel. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Trading Suspension is still in place, and AIB has not received notice from the Council of any such review. If the delisting process is completed prior to the Closing, and there is no subsequent relisting of AIB securities on a national exchange within 60 days thereafter, then PSI will be entitled to terminate the Business Combination Agreement. If PSI decides to exercise, and not waive, such termination right, then the proposed Business Combination may not be consummated.

If the Business Combination is not successful, Public Shareholders would not receive their pro rata portion of the Trust Account until AIB liquidates or until AIB consummates another initial business combination, which it may or may not be able to due within the required time period under the Current Charter. Public Shareholders in need of immediate liquidity, could attempt to sell shares in the open market; however, at such time AIB shares may be subject to reduced liquidity if they are not traded on Nasdaq, and if they trade, they may trade at a discount to the pro rata amount per share in the Trust Account. In either situation, shareholders may suffer a material loss on their investment and public shareholders may lose the benefit of funds expected in connection with their ability to redeem shares until AIB liquidates or public shareholders are able to sell shares in the open market.

AIB shareholders will experience immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of Ordinary Shares as consideration in the Business Combination and due to future issuances, including pursuant to the 2024 Plan of Pubco. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that AIB’s current shareholders have on the management of AIB.

It is anticipated that, following the Business Combination (assuming, among other things, that no AIB Public Shareholders exercise their redemption rights with respect to their AIB Public Shares, and subject to the other assumptions described in this proxy statement/prospectus (1) AIB Public Shareholders are expected to own approximately 6.7% of the outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares, (2) the PSI shareholders (without taking into account any AIB Public Shares held by PSI shareholders prior to the consummation of the Business Combination or the exercise by PSI’s shareholders of appraisal rights) are expected to collectively own approximately 72.9% of the outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares, and (3) the Sponsor, Maxim and other AIB Initial Shareholders are expected to own approximately 14.2% of the outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares.

Pubco’s employees and consultants hold securities which, after the Closing will be securities convertible for Pubco Ordinary Shares, and after the Business Combination, are expected to be granted equity awards under the 2024 Plan of Pubco, AIB shareholders will experience additional dilution when those equity awards and purchase rights

Table of Contents

become vested and settled or exercisable, as applicable, for Pubco Ordinary Shares. Subject to the effectiveness of the 2024 Plan, a total of 2,527,027 options will be granted to certain officers, employees and consultants of PSI, and therefore will be issued and outstanding, on the Closing Date.

Additionally, Pubco may also, from time to time in the future, issue additional shares of Pubco Ordinary Shares or securities convertible into our Ordinary Shares pursuant to a variety of transactions, including acquisitions. Issuing additional shares of our capital stock, other equity securities, or securities convertible into equity may dilute the economic and voting rights of our existing shareholders, reduce the market price of Pubco Ordinary Shares, or both. Debt securities convertible into equity could be subject to adjustments in the conversion ratio pursuant to which certain events may increase the number of equity securities issuable upon conversion. Preferred stock, if issued, could have a preference with respect to liquidating distributions or a preference with respect to dividend payments that could limit our ability to pay dividends to the holders of Pubco Ordinary Shares. Pubco’s decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond its control, which may adversely affect the amount, timing, or nature of our future offerings. As a result, holders of Pubco Ordinary Shares bear the risk that our future offerings may reduce the market price of our Pubco Ordinary Shares and dilute their percentage ownership.

AIB’s and PSI’s ability to consummate the Business Combination, and the operations of Pubco following the Business Combination, may be materially adversely affected by the recent coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

The COVID-19 outbreak has adversely affected, and other events (such as terrorist attacks, natural disasters or a significant outbreak of other infectious diseases or public health crises) could adversely affect, economies and financial markets worldwide, business operations and the conduct of commerce generally, and the business of Pubco following the Business Combination could be adversely affected. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. The outbreak of COVID-19 may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section, such as those related to the market for our securities.

If AIB requires AIB Public Shareholders who wish to redeem their AIB Public Shares to comply with the delivery requirements for redemption, such shareholders may be unable to sell their securities when they wish to if the Business Combination is not approved.

If AIB requires AIB Public Shareholders who wish to redeem their AIB Public Shares to comply with specific delivery requirements for redemption and such proposed business combination is not consummated, AIB will promptly return such certificates to the applicable AIB Public Shareholders. Accordingly, investors who attempted to redeem their shares in such a circumstance will be unable to sell their securities after the failed acquisition until AIB has returned their securities to them. The market price for AIB’s shares may decline during this time and AIB Public Shareholders may not be able to sell their securities when they wish to, even while other shareholders that did not seek conversion may be able to sell their securities.

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

If AIB is forced to enter into an insolvent liquidation, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed as an unlawful payment if it was proved that immediately following the date on which the distribution was made, AIB was unable to pay AIB’s debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. As a result, a liquidator could seek to recover all amounts received by AIB shareholders. Furthermore, AIB’s directors may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to AIB or AIB’s creditors or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing themselves and AIB’s company to claims, by paying AIB Public Shareholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. AIB cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against AIB for these reasons. AIB and its directors and officers who knowingly and willfully authorized or permitted any distribution to be paid out of AIB’s share premium account while AIB was unable to pay AIB’s debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business would be guilty of an offence and may be liable to a fine of $18,293 and to imprisonment for five years in the Cayman Islands.

Redemptions in connection with the January 2023 Extension and October 2023 Extension make it more difficult for us to complete a Business Combination.

Upon completion of AIB’s IPO and a contemporaneous private placement, AIB placed $ 87,112,500 in the Trust Account. In connection with the January 2023 Extension and October 2023 Extension, AIB paid $78,324,476 and $185,030, respectively, to AIB Public Shareholders who exercised their redemption rights. As a result, AIB had approximately $11.5 million in the Trust Account, as of March 31, 2024. The reduction in the funds in the Trust Account makes it more difficult for us to complete a Business Combination since it reduces the funds available upon completion of the Business Combination to provide both working capital for the combined business following the Business Combination and a public float in compliance the applicable Nasdaq market value public float requirement. It also results in a reduction of the number of shareholders that we have.

Risks Related to Redemption

AIB Public Shareholders who wish to redeem their AIB Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account must comply with specific requirements for redemption that may make it more difficult for them to exercise their redemption rights prior to the deadline. If AIB shareholders fail to comply with the redemption requirements specified in this proxy statement/prospectus, they will not be entitled to redeem their AIB Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account.

An AIB Public Shareholder will be entitled to receive cash for any AIB Public Shares to be redeemed only if such AIB Public Shareholder: (i)(a) holds AIB Public Shares; (ii) submits a written request to Continental, AIB’s Transfer Agent, in which it (a) requests that the AIB redeem all or a portion of its AIB Public Shares for cash, and (b) identifies itself as a beneficial holder of the AIB Public Shares and provides its legal name, phone number, and address; and (iii) delivers its share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms (as applicable) to Continental physically or electronically through DTC. Holders must complete the procedures for electing to redeem their AIB Public Shares in the manner described above prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [ ], 2024 (two business days before the Extraordinary General Meeting) in order for their shares to be redeemed. In order to obtain a physical share certificate, a public shareholder’s broker and/or clearing broker, DTC and Continental, will need to act to facilitate this request. It is AIB’s understanding that AIB Public Shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the Transfer Agent. However, because AIB does not have any control over this process or over DTC, it may take significantly longer than two weeks to obtain a physical stock certificate. If it takes longer than anticipated to obtain a physical certificate, AIB Public Shareholders who wish to redeem their AIB Public Shares may be unable to obtain physical certificates by the deadline for exercising their redemption rights and thus will be unable to redeem their shares.

If the Business Combination is consummated, and if a public shareholder properly exercises its right to redeem all or a portion of the AIB Public Shares that it holds and timely delivers its share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms (as applicable) to Continental, then AIB will redeem such AIB Public Shares for a per- share price, payable in cash, equal to the pro rata portion of the Trust Account established at the consummation of the IPO, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. See “Extraordinary General Meeting of AIB Shareholders — Redemption Rights” for additional information on how to exercise your redemption rights.

Investors may not have sufficient time to comply with the delivery requirements associated with exercise of their redemption rights.

Pursuant to AIB’s Current Charter, AIB is required to give a minimum of only seven clear days’ notice (meaning 7 days’ notice, excluding the day when the notice is received or deemed to be received and the day for which it is given or which it is to take effect) for an extraordinary general meeting. As a result, if AIB requires AIB Public Shareholders who wish to convert their AIB Public Shares into the right to receive a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account to comply with specific delivery requirements for conversion, holders may not have sufficient time to receive the notice and deliver their shares for conversion. Accordingly, investors may not be able to exercise their redemption rights and may be forced to retain AIB’s securities when they otherwise would not want to.

Table of Contents

If an AIB Public Shareholder fails to receive notice of AIB’s offer to redeem AIB Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination or fails to comply with the procedures required to redeem its shares, such shares may not be redeemed.

If, despite AIB’s compliance with the proxy rules, a public shareholder fails to receive AIB’s proxy materials, such public shareholder may not become aware of the opportunity to redeem his, her, or its AIB Public Shares. In addition, the proxy materials that AIB is furnishing to holders of AIB Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination describes the various procedures that must be complied with in order to validly redeem the AIB Public Shares. In the event that a public shareholder fails to comply with these procedures, its AIB Public Shares may not be redeemed. See “Extraordinary General Meeting of AIB Shareholders — Redemption Rights” for additional information on how to exercise your redemption rights.

If a Public Shareholder or a “group” of AIB Public Shareholders are deemed to hold in excess of 15% of the AIB Public Shares, that Public Shareholder or AIB Public Shareholders will lose the ability to redeem all such shares in excess of 15% of the AIB Public Shares, absent AIB’s consent.

A holder of AIB Public Shares, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such Public 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 AIB Public Shares, which is referred to as the “Excess Shares.” Accordingly, if a Public Shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the AIB Public Shares, then any such Excess Shares would not be redeemed for cash, without AIB’s prior consent. However, such Public Shareholder may vote all their shares (including Excess Shares) for or against the Business Combination. A Public Shareholder’s inability to redeem the Excess Shares will reduce such Public Shareholder’s influence over AIB’s ability to complete the Business Combination and such Public Shareholder could suffer a material loss on such Public Shareholder’s investment in AIB if the Public Shareholder sells Excess Shares in open market transactions. Additionally, a Public Shareholder will not receive redemption distributions with respect to the Excess Shares if AIB completes the Business Combination. As a result, Public Shareholder will continue to hold that number of AIB Public Shares exceeding 15% and, in order to dispose of such shares, would be required to sell such shares in open market transactions, potentially at a loss.

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

AIB can give no assurance as to the price at which a public shareholder may be able to sell its AIB Public Shares in the future following the completion of the Business Combination or any alternative business combination. Certain events following the consummation of any initial business combination, including the Business Combination, may cause an increase in AIB’s share price, and may result in a lower value realized now than a public shareholder might realize in the future had the public shareholder not redeemed its shares. Similarly, if a public shareholder does not redeem its shares, the public shareholder will bear the risk of ownership of the AIB Public Shares after the consummation of any initial business combination, and there can be no assurance that a public shareholder can sell its shares in the future for a greater amount than the redemption price set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. A public shareholder should consult the public shareholder’s own financial advisor for assistance on how this may affect his, her, or its individual situation.

Risks if the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved

If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved, and an insufficient number of votes have been obtained to authorize the consummation of the Business Combination, the AIB Board will not have the ability to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates in order to solicit further votes, and, therefore, the Business Combination will not be approved, and the Business Combination may not be consummated.

The AIB Board is seeking approval to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates if, at the Extraordinary General Meeting, based upon the tabulated votes, there are insufficient votes to approve each of the Business Combination Proposal and the Merger Proposal. If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved, the AIB Board will not have the ability to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates and, therefore, will not have more time to solicit votes to approve the Business Combination Proposal and the Merger Proposal. In such events, the Business Combination would not be completed.

Risks if the Business Combination is Not Consummated

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this subsection to the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to AIB prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and to Pubco following the consummation of the Business Combination.

AIB may not be able to consummate an initial business combination within the required time period, in which case AIB would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and AIB would redeem the AIB Public Shares and liquidate unless the Sponsor contributes additional capital to AIB, which the Sponsor is not obligated to do.

The Sponsor and AIB’s officers and directors have agreed that AIB must complete an initial business combination by January 21, 2025 (or a later date, if the deadline for AIB to complete its initial business combination is extended by an amendment to the Current Charter). If the Business Combination is not consummated, AIB may not be able to find a suitable target business and consummate another initial business combination within such time period. Further, any potential target business with which AIB enters into negotiations concerning a business combination will be aware of the time frame in which AIB must consummate a business combination, which may give potential target businesses leverage over AIB in negotiations of another business combination.

If AIB has not consummated an initial business combination within such applicable time period, AIB will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the AIB Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of the then-outstanding AIB Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish AIB Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of AIB’s remaining shareholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to AIB’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Current Charter provides that, if AIB winds up for any other reason prior to the consummation of our initial business combination, AIB will follow the foregoing procedures with respect to the liquidation of the Trust Account as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, subject to applicable Cayman Islands law. In either such case, AIB Public Shareholders may receive only $11.66 per Public Share, or less than $11.66 per Public Share, on the redemption of their shares, and AIB Rights will expire worthless. See “— If third parties bring claims against AIB, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $11.66 per share (based on the Trust Account balance as of March 31, 2024),” and other risk factors herein.

If AIB has not completed its initial business combination, AIB Public Shareholders may be forced to wait until after January 21, 2025 (or a later date, if the deadline for AIB to complete its initial business combination is extended by an amendment to the Current Charter) before redemption from the Trust Account.

If AIB has not completed its initial business combination by January 21, 2025 (or a later date, if the deadline for AIB to complete its initial business combination is extended by an amendment to the Current Charter), AIB will distribute the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), pro rata to AIB Public Shareholders by way of redemption and cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up of AIB’s affairs, as further described in this proxy statement/prospectus. Any redemption of AIB Public Shareholders from the Trust Account shall be affected automatically by function of the Current Charter prior to any voluntary winding up. If AIB is required to wind-up, liquidate the Trust Account and distribute such amount therein, pro rata, to AIB Public Shareholders, as part of any liquidation process, such winding up, liquidation and distribution must comply with the applicable provisions of the Cayman Companies Act. In that case, investors may be forced to wait beyond January 21, 2025 (or a later date, if the deadline for AIB to complete its initial business combination is extended by an amendment to the Current Charter), before the redemption proceeds of the Trust Account become available to them, and they receive the return of their pro rata portion of the proceeds from the Trust Account. AIB has no obligation to return funds to investors prior to the date of AIB’s redemption or liquidation unless, prior thereto, AIB consummates its initial business combination or amend certain provisions of the Current Charter and only then in cases where investors have properly sought to redeem their AIB Public Shares. Only upon AIB’s redemption or any liquidation will AIB Public Shareholders be entitled to distributions, if AIB has not completed AIB’s initial business combination prior to January 21, 2025.

Table of Contents

AIB Public Shareholders have limited rights or interests in funds in the Trust Account. For AIB Public Shareholders to liquidate their investment, therefore, they may be forced to sell Public Securities, potentially at a loss.

AIB Public Shareholders will be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account because they hold AIB Public Shares only upon (i) such Public Shareholder’s exercise of redemption rights in connection with AIB’s initial business combination (which will be the Business Combination, should it occur) and then only in connection with those AIB Public Shares that such Public Shareholder properly elected to redeem or (ii) the redemption of AIB Public Shares if AIB is unable to complete an initial business combination by January 21, 2025 (or a later date, if the deadline for AIB to complete its initial business combination is extended by an amendment to the Current Charter), subject to applicable law and as further described herein. In addition, if AIB is unable to complete an initial business combination by January 21, 2025, compliance with applicable law and the Current Charter may result in a delay in winding up AIB and may require AIB submit a plan of dissolution to its then-existing shareholders for approval prior to the distribution of the proceeds held in AIB’s Trust Account. In that case, AIB Public Shareholders may be forced to wait beyond January 21, 2025 (or a later date, if the deadline for AIB to complete its initial business combination is extended by an amendment to the Current Charter), before they receive funds from the Trust Account. In no other circumstances will a Public Shareholder have any right or interest of any kind in the Trust Account. Accordingly, to liquidate your investment, AIB Public Shareholders may be forced to sell their AIB Public Shares, potentially at a loss.

The SEC has issued final rules and guidance relating to certain activities of special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”). The need for compliance with these rules and guidance may cause AIB to liquidate at an earlier time than it might otherwise choose.

On January 24, 2024, the SEC issued final rules (the “SPAC Rules”) relating, among other things, to disclosures in SEC filings in connection with business combination transactions involving SPACs such as AIB and private operating companies, the financial statement requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies, and the use of projections by SPACs in SEC filings in connection with proposed business combination transactions. In connection with the issuance of the SPAC Rules, the SEC also issued guidance (the “SPAC Guidance”) regarding the potential liability of certain participants in business combination transactions and the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act. The need for compliance with the SPAC Rules and the SPAC Guidance may cause AIB to liquidate at an earlier time than it might otherwise choose.

Certain of the procedures that AIB, PSI or others may determine to undertake in connection with the SPAC Rules, or pursuant to the SPAC Guidance, may increase the costs and time of completing the Business Combination, and may constrain the circumstances under which we could complete the Business Combination. The need for compliance with the SPAC Rules and the SPAC Guidance may cause AIB to liquidate the funds in the Trust Account or liquidate at an earlier time than it might otherwise choose. Were AIB to liquidate, the AIB Rights would expire worthless, and AIB’s securityholders would lose the investment opportunity associated with an investment in Pubco, including any potential price appreciation of its securities.

If AIB is deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, it would be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and its activities would be severely restricted. As a result, in such circumstances, unless AIB is able to modify its activities so that it would not be deemed an investment company, it may abandon our efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead liquidate.

As noted above, the SPAC Guidance relates, among other matters, to the circumstances in which SPACs such as AIB could potentially be subject to the Investment Company Act and the regulations thereunder. If AIB is deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, its activities would be severely restricted. In addition, it would be subject to burdensome compliance requirements. AIB does not believe that its principal activities will subject itself to regulation as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. However, if AIB is deemed to be an investment company and subject to compliance with and regulation under the Investment Company Act, it would be subject to additional regulatory burdens and expenses for which it has not allotted funds. As a result, unless AIB is able to modify its activities so that it would not be deemed an investment company, it may be unable to complete the Business Combination and could be required to liquidate. Were AIB to liquidate, the AIB Rights would expire worthless, and AIB’s securityholders would lose the investment opportunity associated with an investment in Pubco, including any potential price appreciation of its securities.

To mitigate the risk that AIB might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, on February 6, 2024, AIB instructed the trustee to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank until the earlier of the consummation of its initial business combination or liquidation. As a result, AIB may receive less interest on the funds held in the Trust Account than the interest it would have received pursuant to its original Trust Account investments, which could reduce the dollar amount AIB Public Shareholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation.

The funds in the Trust Account had, since AIB’s initial public offering, been held in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 180 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, on February 6, 2024, to mitigate the risk of AIB being deemed to be an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act) and thus subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, AIB instructed Continental, 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 an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank until the earlier of the consummation of AIB’s initial business combination or liquidation. Following such liquidation, AIB may receive less interest on the funds held in the Trust Account than the interest it would have received pursuant to the original Trust Account investments; however, interest previously earned on the funds held in the Trust Account still may be released to AIB to pay taxes, if any, and certain other expenses as permitted. Consequently, the transfer of the funds in the Trust Account to an interest-bearing demand deposit account could reduce the dollar amount AIB Public Shareholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation.

In the event that AIB may be deemed to be an investment company, it may be required to liquidate. Accordingly, AIB Public Shareholders will lose the investment opportunity in a target company and may only receive $11.66 per share or potentially less than $11.66 per share on AIB’s redemption, and the AIB Rights will expire worthless.

Provisions in AIB’s Current Charter and Cayman Islands law may inhibit a takeover of AIB, which could limit the price investors might be willing to pay in the future for AIB Class A Ordinary Shares and could entrench management.

The Current Charter contains provisions that may discourage unsolicited takeover Proposals that shareholders may consider to be in their best interests. These provisions include the ability of the Board to designate the terms of and issue new series of preferred shares which may make the removal of management more difficult and may discourage transactions that otherwise could involve payment of a premium over prevailing market prices for AIB’s securities.

AIB is also subject to anti-takeover provisions under Cayman Islands law, which could delay or prevent a change of control. Together these provisions may make the removal of management more difficult and may discourage transactions that otherwise could involve payment of a premium over prevailing market prices for our securities.

AIB’s independent registered public accounting firm’s report contains an explanatory paragraph that expresses substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a “going concern.”

As of March 31, 2024, AIB had approximately $6,500 in cash (which excludes cash held in the Trust Account) and may not have sufficient liquidity to fund its working capital needs. Further, AIB has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans, including the Business Combination. AIB cannot assure you that its plans to raise capital or to consummate an initial business combination, including the Business Combination, will be successful. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements contained elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus do not include any adjustments that might result from its inability to consummate the Business Combination or its inability to continue as a going concern.

AIB may qualify as a passive foreign investment company, or “PFIC,” which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. investors.

If AIB is determined to be a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. Holder (as defined in the section “Material Tax Considerations — U.S. Holders”) of our AIB Class A Ordinary Shares or AIB Rights, the U.S. Holder may be subject to adverse U.S. federal

Table of Contents

income tax consequences and may be subject to additional reporting requirements. Our actual PFIC status for our current taxable year may depend on whether we qualify for the PFIC start-up exception (see Material Tax Considerations — U.S. Holders — The Business Combination — Application of the Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules to the Transactions). Depending on the particular circumstances the application of the start-up exception may be subject to uncertainty, and there cannot be any assurance that we will qualify for the start-up exception. Accordingly, there can be no assurances with respect to our status as a PFIC for our current taxable year or any future taxable year. AIB’s actual PFIC status for any taxable year, however, will not be determinable until after the end of such taxable year. If we determine we are a PFIC for any taxable year, we will endeavor to provide to a U.S. Holder such information as the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) may require, including a PFIC annual information statement, in order to enable the U.S. Holder to make and maintain a “qualified electing fund” election, but there can be no assurance that we will timely provide such required information, and such election would likely be unavailable with respect to our rights.

AIB urges U.S. investors to consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible application of the PFIC rules.

Because AIB is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, AIB Public Shareholders may face difficulties in protecting their interests, and their ability to protect their rights through the U.S. Federal courts may be limited.

Because AIB is currently incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, AIB Public Shareholders may face difficulties in protecting their interests and their ability to protect their rights through the U.S. federal courts may be limited prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. AIB is currently an exempted company under the laws of the Cayman Islands. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon AIB’s directors or officers, or enforce judgments obtained in the United States courts against AIB’s directors or officers.

Until the consummation of the Business Combination, AIB’s corporate affairs are governed by the Current Charter, the Cayman Companies Act and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of AIB shareholders to take action against the directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of its directors to AIB under the laws of the Cayman Islands 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 English common law, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of AIB shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of its directors under Cayman Islands law are different from what they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a different body of securities laws as compared to the United States, and certain states, such as Delaware, may have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholders derivative action in a federal court of the United States.

AIB has been advised by its Cayman Islands legal counsel that the courts of the Cayman Islands are unlikely (i) to recognize or enforce against AIB judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state; and (ii) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, to impose liabilities against AIB predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state, so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature. In those circumstances, although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, the courts of the Cayman Islands will recognize and enforce a foreign money judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay the sum for which judgment has been given provided certain conditions are met. For a foreign judgment to be enforced in the Cayman Islands, such judgment must be final and conclusive and for a liquidated sum, and must not be in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty, inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment in respect of the same matter, impeachable on the grounds of fraud or obtained in a manner, or be of a kind the enforcement of which is, contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands (awards of punitive or multiple damages may well be held to be contrary to public policy). A Cayman Islands court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.

As a result of all of the above, AIB Public Shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by management, members of the AIB Board or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a United States company.

Table of Contents

AIB has devoted substantial time and expense to its evaluation and negotiation of the Business Combination neither of which can be recouped if the Business Combination is not consummated. Further, AIB may not be able to obtain additional financing and researching alternative acquisitions that are not consummated will require additional time and expenditures, all of which could materially adversely affect subsequent attempts to locate and acquire or merge with another business.

The investigation of each specific target business and the negotiation, drafting, and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents, and other instruments requires substantial management time and attention and substantial costs for accountants, attorneys and others. If the Business Combination is not consummated, AIB does not expected to recover most or all of the resources it expended through the date the Business Combination is abandoned and AIB does not expect to recover the costs associated with another any other initial business combination that it may consider if the Business Combination is not consummated. Consequently, AIB may not have the resources it needs to pursue or consummate an alternative business combination. To the extent that additional financing proves to be unavailable when needed to consummate an initial business combination, AIB would be compelled to either restructure the transaction or abandon that particular initial business combination and seek an alternative target business candidate. Furthermore, if AIB reaches an agreement relating to a specific target business, it may fail to consummate an initial business combination for any number of reasons, including those beyond AIB’s control. Any such event will result in a loss to AIB of the related costs incurred, which could materially adversely affect subsequent attempts to locate and acquire or merge with another business. If AIB is unable to complete an initial business combination, AIB Public Shareholders may only receive $11.66 per share or potentially less than $11.66 per share, upon redemption, and AIB Rights will expire worthless.

AIB may be unable to obtain additional financing to complete its initial business combination or to fund the operations and growth of a target business, which could compel AIB to restructure or abandon a particular business combination. If AIB is unable to complete its initial business combination, AIB Public Shareholders may only receive $11.66 per share or potentially less than $11.66 per share on AIB’s redemption, and the rights will expire worthless.

Although AIB believes that the net proceeds of its IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units, including the interest earned on the proceeds held in the Trust Account that may be available to AIB for its initial business combination, will be sufficient to allow AIB to consummate its initial business combination. If the net proceeds of the AIB IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units prove to be insufficient, either because of the size of AIB’s initial business combination, the depletion of the available net proceeds in search of a target business, the obligation to repurchase for cash a significant number of shares from shareholders who elect redemption in connection with AIB’s initial business combination or the terms of negotiated transactions to purchase shares in connection with AIB initial business combination, AIB may be required to seek additional financing or to abandon the proposed business combination. Financing may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If AIB is unable to complete its initial business combination, AIB Public Shareholders may only receive $11.66 per share or potentially less than $11.66 per share on AIB’s redemption, and the rights will expire worthless. In addition, even if AIB does not need additional financing to consummate its initial business combination, AIB may require such financing to fund the operations or growth of the target business. The failure to secure additional financing could have a material adverse effect on the continued development or growth of the target business. None of AIB’s officers, directors or shareholders are required to provide any financing to AIB in connection with or after AIB’s initial business combination.

If the Business Combination is not consummated, AIB Public Shareholders may not be afforded an opportunity to vote on AIB’s proposed initial business combination, which means AIB may complete its initial business combination even though a majority of the AIB Public Shareholders do not support such a combination.

If the Business Combination is not consummated, AIB may choose not to hold a shareholder vote before it completes another initial business combination if such other business combination would not require shareholder approval under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirement. For instance, if AIB seeks to acquire a target business where the consideration it is paying in the transaction consists solely of cash, AIB would typically not be required to seek shareholder approval to complete such a transaction. Except as required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirement, the decision as to whether AIB will seek shareholder approval of a proposed business combination or will allow shareholders to sell their shares to AIB in a tender offer will be made by AIB, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors, such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require us to seek shareholder approval. Accordingly, if the Business Combination is not consummated, AIB may complete another initial business combination even if holders of a majority of issued and outstanding AIB Ordinary Shares do not approve of the business combination AIB completes.

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

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to AIB Public Shareholders, AIB files a winding-up or bankruptcy petition or an involuntary winding-up or bankruptcy petition is filed against AIB that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable insolvency law, and may be included in AIB’s liquidation estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of AIB shareholders. To the extent any liquidation claims deplete the Trust Account, the per share amount that would otherwise be received by AIB shareholders in connection with AIB’s liquidation may be reduced and may be less than $11.66 per share.

If, after AIB distributes the proceeds in the Trust Account to its AIB Public Shareholders, AIB files a winding-up or bankruptcy petition or an involuntary winding-up or bankruptcy petition is filed against AIB that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy court may seek to recover such proceeds, and AIB and its board of directors may be exposed to claims of punitive damages.

If, after AIB distributes the proceeds in the Trust Account to its AIB Public Shareholders, AIB files a winding-up or bankruptcy petition or an involuntary winding-up or bankruptcy petition is filed against AIB that is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or insolvency laws as a voidable performance. As a result, a liquidator could seek to recover all amounts received by AIB shareholders. In addition, the AIB Board may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to AIB’s creditors or having acted in bad faith, thereby exposing it and AIB to claims of punitive damages, by paying AIB Public Shareholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. AIB cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against AIB for these reasons.

AIB may pursue acquisition opportunities in any geographic region and in any business industry or sector and, if the Business Combination fails, AIB may pursue an initial business combination involved in a sector with which AIB’s management team has limited or no prior familiarity or expertise. AIB securityholders may be unable to ascertain the merits or risks of any particular target business’ operations and AIB may pursue an initial business combination that is not in the best interests of AIB shareholders.

Except for the limitations that, so long as AIB’s securities are listed on Nasdaq, a target business have a fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the Trust Account (less certain advisory fees to Maxim and taxes payable on interest earned), that AIB’s initial business combination is approved by a majority of AIB’s independent directors, and that AIB is not permitted to effectuate an initial business combination with another blank check company or similar company with nominal operations, AIB will have virtually unrestricted flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective acquisition candidate. If the Business Combination is not consummated, AIB may be presented with a business combination candidate in an industry unfamiliar to AIB’s management team or with respect to which AIB’s management’s experience may not be directly applicable. Although AIB’s officers and directors will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business, AIB may not properly ascertain or assess all of the significant risk factors or that AIB will have adequate time to complete due diligence. Further, AIB may pursue an initial business combination in a sector or by means of a transaction which is difficult to consummate and may be subject to a variety of risks, many of which may be outside AIB’s control or which its management may not have expertise to assess. Investors will be relying on management’s ability to identify business combinations, evaluate their merits, conduct or monitor diligence and conduct negotiations and any of the aforementioned factors may lead management to enter into an acquisition agreement that is materially less favorable to, or is not in the best interest of, AIB shareholders.

We may not be able to complete the Business Combination with PSI if the Business Combination may be subject to review or approval by regulatory authorities pursuant to certain U.S. or foreign laws or regulations, or ultimately prohibited.

Certain acquisitions and business combinations may be subject to review or approval by regulatory authorities pursuant to certain U.S. or foreign laws or regulations. In the event that such regulatory review or approval is required or advisable and not obtained, or the timeline for a regulatory review or approval process extends beyond the period of time that would permit an initial business combination to be consummated with us, we may not be able to consummate a business combination with such target. Although we are not aware of any material regulatory approvals or actions

Table of Contents

that are required for completion of the Business Combination, a U.S. or foreign regulatory authority may wish to conduct a review of the Business Combination under its discretionary powers, and that such discretionary review or approval will be completed within the required time period.

Among other things, the U.S. Federal Communications Act prohibits foreign individuals, governments, and corporations from owning more than a specified percentage of the capital stock of a broadcast, common carrier, or aeronautical radio station licensee. In addition, U.S. law currently restricts foreign ownership of U.S. airlines. In the United States, certain mergers that may affect competition may require certain filings and review by the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission. Acquisitions by “foreign persons” of entities engaged in interstate commerce in the United Stated (i.e., “U.S. Businesses”) are subject to potential review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”) — an interagency committee of the United States government authorized to review certain transactions involving foreign investments in U.S. Businesses to determine and address the effect of such transactions on the national security of the United States.

Because our Chief Executive Officer, Eric Chen, is a Canadian citizen and holds an approximate 65% interest in the Sponsor, and because other foreign nationals hold the balance of the interest in the Sponsor, we or the Sponsor may constitute a “foreign person” under CFIUS regulations. If CFIUS were to consider us or the Sponsor to be a “foreign person” under such regulations, any proposed business combination between us and a U.S. business will be subject to CFIUS jurisdiction and potential CFIUS review. Subject to a determination by CFIUS that the Business Combination gives rise to national security concerns, we may be unable to consummate the Business Combination. Although we do not believe PSI is a U.S. business that may affect national security, CFIUS may take a different view and decide to block or delay the Business Combination, impose conditions to mitigate perceived national security concerns with respect to the Business Combination, order or request us to divest all or a portion of the combined company if AIB 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 authorities may impose review or approval procedures on account of any foreign ownership by the Sponsor. Outside the United States, laws or regulations may affect our ability to consummate a business combination with potential target companies incorporated or having business operations in jurisdictions where national security considerations, involvement in regulated industries (including telecommunications), or in businesses where a country’s culture or heritage may be implicated.

The foreign ownership limitations, and the potential impact of CFIUS, may prevent us from consummating the Business Combination with PSI. If AIB 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 we have only a limited time to complete an initial business combination, our failure to obtain any required approvals within the requisite time period may require us to liquidate. If we liquidate, our public shareholders may only receive $11.66 per share (plus any applicable interest accrued). This will also cause you to lose any potential investment opportunity in PSI or any other potential target acquisition and the chance of realizing future gains on your investment through any price appreciation in the combined company, and our rights will expire worthless.

Risks Related to Pubco and Ownership of Pubco’s Shares

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this subsection to “we,” “us” or “our” refer to the business of PSI, which will be the business of Pubco following the consummation of the Business Combination.

PSI’s management has no experience in operating a public company.

PSI’s executive officers have no experience in the management of a publicly traded company. Prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, PSI was a private company mainly operating our businesses in Hong Kong. PSI’s management team may not successfully or effectively manage the transition to a public company that will be subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under federal securities laws and the scrutiny of securities analysts and investors, and our management currently has no experience in complying with such laws, regulations and obligations. 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.

Table of Contents

We may not have adequate personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience, and training in the accounting policies, practices or internal controls over financial reporting required of public companies in the United States. The development and implementation of the standards and controls necessary for Pubco to achieve the level of accounting standards required of a public company in the United States may require costs greater than expected. It is possible that we will be required to expand our employee base and hire additional employees to support our operations as a public company which will increase our operating costs in future periods.

Failure to timely and effectively build our accounting systems to effectively implement controls and procedures required by Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business.

As a public company, we are required to provide management’s attestation on internal controls. The standards required for a public company under Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are significantly more stringent than those required of a private company. Management may not be able to effectively and timely implement controls and procedures that adequately respond to the increased regulatory compliance and reporting requirements that will be applicable after the Business Combination. If we are not able to implement the additional requirements of Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in a timely manner or with adequate compliance, we may not be able to assess whether our internal controls over financial reporting are effective, which may subject us to adverse regulatory consequences and could harm investor confidence and the market price of our securities.

To manage the expected growth of our operations and increasing complexity, we will need to improve our operational and financial systems, procedures, and controls and continue to increase systems automation to reduce reliance on manual operations. Any inability to do so will affect our reporting. Our current and planned systems, procedures and controls may not be adequate to support our complex arrangements and the rules governing revenue and expense recognition for our future operations and expected growth. Delays or problems associated with any improvement or expansion of our operational and financial systems and controls could adversely affect our relationships with our partners, cause harm to our reputation and brand and could also result in errors in our financial and other reporting.

The recent joint statement by the SEC and PCAOB, proposed rule changes submitted by Nasdaq, and the HFCAA, as amended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to emerging market companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors, especially the non-U.S. auditors who are not inspected by the PCAOB. These developments could add uncertainties to the proposed Business Combination. In the event it is later determined that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely our auditor following consummation of the Business Combination, then such lack of inspection could cause trading in Pubco’s securities to be prohibited under the HFCAA, and ultimately result in a determination by a securities exchange to delist Pubco’s securities.

On April 21, 2020, SEC Chairman Jay Clayton and PCAOB Chairman William D. Duhnke III, along with other senior SEC staff, released a joint statement highlighting the risks associated with investing in companies based in or have substantial operations in emerging markets including China. The joint statement emphasized the risks associated with lack of access for the PCAOB to inspect auditors and audit work papers in China and higher risks of fraud in emerging markets.

On May 18, 2020, Nasdaq filed three proposals with the SEC to (i) apply minimum offering size requirement for companies primarily operating in “Restrictive Market”, (ii) adopt a new requirement relating to the qualification of management or board of director for Restrictive Market companies, and (iii) apply additional and more stringent criteria to an applicant or listed company based on the qualifications of the company’s auditors.

On May 20, 2020, the U.S. Senate passed the HFCAA requiring a foreign company to certify it is not owned or controlled by a foreign government if the PCAOB is unable to audit specified reports because the company uses a foreign auditor not subject to PCAOB inspection. If the PCAOB is unable to inspect the company’s auditors for three consecutive years, the issuer’s securities are prohibited to trade on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter trading market in the U.S. On December 2, 2020, the U.S. House of Representatives approved the HFCAA. On December 18, 2020, the HFCAA was signed into law.

On March 24, 2021, the SEC announced that it had adopted interim final amendments to implement congressionally mandated submission and disclosure requirements of the HFCAA. The interim final amendments will apply to registrants that the SEC identifies as having filed an annual report on Forms 10-K, 20-F, 40-F or N-CSR with an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that the

Table of Contents

PCAOB has determined it is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in that jurisdiction. The SEC will implement a process for identifying such a registrant and any such identified registrant will be required to submit documentation to the SEC establishing that it is not owned or controlled by a governmental entity in that foreign jurisdiction, and will also require disclosure in the registrant’s annual report regarding the audit arrangements of, and governmental influence on, such a registrant.

On June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed a bill which, if passed by the U.S. House of Representatives and signed into law, would reduce the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCAA from three years to two.

On September 22, 2021, the PCAOB adopted a final rule implementing the HFCAA, which provides a framework for the PCAOB to use when determining, as contemplated under the HFCAA, whether the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms located in a foreign jurisdiction because of a position taken by one or more authorities in that jurisdiction.

On December 2, 2021, the SEC issued amendments to finalize rules implementing the submission and disclosure requirements in the HFCAA. On January 10, 2022, the final rules adopted by the SEC relating to the HFCA Act became effective. The rules apply to registrants that the SEC identifies as having filed an annual report with an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in foreign jurisdictions.

On December 16, 2021, SEC announced that the PCAOB designated the PRC and Hong Kong as the jurisdictions where the PCAOB is not allowed to conduct full and complete audit inspections as mandated under the HFCAA.

On February 4, 2022, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the America Creating Opportunities for Manufacturing Pre-Eminence in Technology and Economic Strength (COMPETES) Act of 2022 (the “America COMPETES Act”). If the America COMPETES Act is enacted into law, it would amend the HFCAA and require the SEC to prohibit an issuer’s securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchanges if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three.

On December 29, 2022, the Consolidated Appropriations Act 2023 was passed, which, among other things, amended the HFCAA to reduce the number of consecutive years an issuer can be identified as a Commission-Identified Issuer before the SEC must impose an initial trading prohibition on the issuer’s securities from three years to two years. Therefore, once an issuer is identified as a Commission-Identified Issuer for two consecutive years, the SEC is required under the HCFAA to prohibit the trading of the issuer’s securities on a national securities exchange and in the over-the-counter market.

WWC, P.C., the independent registered public accounting firm that issues the audit report included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, as a firm headquartered in California and registered with the PCAOB, is subject to laws in the United States pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess our auditor’s compliance with the applicable professional standards with the last inspection in December 2023, and as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, our auditor is not subject to the PCAOB determinations. However, in the event it is later determined that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely the auditor because of a position taken by an authority in a foreign jurisdiction, then such lack of inspection could cause trading in Pubco securities (following consummation of the Business Combination) to be prohibited under the HFCAA, and ultimately result in a determination by a securities exchange to delist Pubco’s securities (following consummation of the Business Combination).

On August 26, 2022, the PCAOB signed the SOP Agreements with the CSRC and China’s Ministry of Finance. The SOP Agreements established a specific, accountable framework to make possible complete inspections and investigations by the PCAOB of audit firms based in Mainland China and Hong Kong, as required under U.S. law. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB announced that it was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong completely in 2022. The PCAOB vacated its previous 2021 determinations that the PCAOB was unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong. However, whether the PCAOB will continue to be able to satisfactorily conduct inspections of PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong is subject to uncertainties and depends on a number of factors out of our and our auditor’s control. The PCAOB continues to demand complete access in mainland China and Hong Kong moving forward and is making plans to resume regular inspections in early 2023 and beyond, as well as to continue pursuing ongoing investigations and initiate new investigations as needed. The PCAOB has also indicated that it will act immediately to consider the need to issue new determinations with the HFCAA if needed.

In addition, the recent developments would add uncertainties to the proposed Business Combination and we cannot assure you whether Nasdaq or regulatory authorities would apply additional and more stringent criteria to us after considering the effectiveness of our auditor’s audit procedures and quality control procedures, adequacy of personnel and training, or sufficiency of resources, geographic reach or experience as it relates to the audit of our financial statements. It remains unclear what the SEC’s implementation process related to the above rules will entail or what further actions the SEC, the PCAOB or Nasdaq will take to address these issues and what impact those actions will have on U.S. companies that have significant operations in Hong Kong and have securities listed on a U.S. stock exchange (including a national securities exchange or over-the-counter stock market). In addition, the above amendments and any additional actions, proceedings, or new rules resulting from these efforts to increase U.S. regulatory access to audit information could create some uncertainty for investors, the market price of Pubco Ordinary Share could be adversely affected, and we could be delisted if we and our auditor are unable to meet the PCAOB inspection requirement or being required to engage a new audit firm, which would require significant expense and management time.

The price of Pubco securities may be volatile, and the value of Pubco securities may decline.

We cannot predict the prices at which our securities will trade. The price of our securities may not bear any relationship to the market price at which our securities will trade after the Transactions or to any other established criteria of the value of our business and prospects, and the market price of our securities following the Business Combination may fluctuate substantially and may be lower than the price agreed by AIB and PSI in connection with the Business Combination. In addition, the trading price of our securities following the Business Combination could be subject to fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. These fluctuations could cause you to lose all or part of your investment in our securities as you might be unable to sell these securities at or above the price you paid in the Business Combination. Factors that could cause fluctuations in the trading price of our securities include the following:

• actual or anticipated fluctuations in our financial condition or results of operations;

• variance in our financial performance from expectations of securities analysts;

• changes in our projected operating and financial results;

• changes in laws or regulations applicable to our business;

• announcements by us or our competitors of significant business developments, acquisitions or new offerings;

• sales of our securities by us, our shareholders, as well as the anticipation of lockup releases;

• significant breaches of, disruptions to or other incidents involving our information technology systems or those of our business partners;

• our involvement in litigation;

• conditions or developments affecting the solar power industry in our major markets;

• changes in senior management or key personnel;

• the trading volume of our securities;

• changes in the anticipated future size and growth rate of our markets;

• publication of research reports or news stories about us, our competitors or our industry, or positive or negative recommendations or withdrawal of research coverage by securities analysts;

• general economic and market conditions; and

• other events or factors, including those resulting from war, incidents of terrorism, global pandemics (such as COVID-19), currency fluctuations, natural disasters or responses to these events, including with respect to potential operational disruptions, labor disruptions, increased costs, and impacts to demand related thereto.

These broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our securities, regardless of our actual operating performance. In addition, price volatility may be greater if the public float and trading volume of our securities are low.

Table of Contents

The sale of a significant number of Pubco Ordinary Shares or other equity securities in the public market after the consummation of the Business Combination, or the perception that such sales may occur, could materially and adversely affect the market price of Pubco Ordinary Shares. These factors could also materially impair Pubco’s ability to raise capital through equity offerings in the future.

Furthermore, employees and directors of Pubco following the consummation of the Business Combination are expected to be granted equity awards under the 2024 Plan. You will experience additional dilution when those equity awards and purchase rights become vested and settled or exercised, as applicable, for Pubco Ordinary Shares. Sales of Ordinary Shares by holders after the vesting of awards or holders of options who have exercised their options under any incentive plan that Pubco may in the future implement could also cause the price of Pubco Ordinary Shares to fall.

A market for our securities may not develop or be sustained, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of our securities.

Following the Business Combination, the price of our securities may fluctuate significantly due to the market’s reaction to the Transactions and general market and economic conditions. A substantial amount of our shares will be subject to transfer restrictions following the Transactions. An active trading market for our securities following the Transactions may never develop or, if developed, may not be sustained. In addition, the price of our securities after the Transactions may vary due to general economic conditions and forecasts, our general business condition and the release of our financial reports. Additionally, if the combined company’s securities are not listed on Nasdaq and are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (an inter-dealer automated quotation system for equity securities that is not a national securities exchange), the liquidity and price of our securities may be more limited than if we were quoted or listed on the Nasdaq or another national securities exchange. You may be unable to sell your securities unless a market can be established or sustained.

If we do not meet the expectations of equity research analysts, if they do not publish research reports about our business or if they issue unfavorable commentary or downgrade our securities, the price of our securities could decline.

The trading market for our securities will rely in part on the research reports that equity research analysts publish about us and our business. The analysts’ estimates are based upon their own opinions and are often different from our estimates or expectations. If our results of operations are below the estimates or expectations of equity research analysts and investors, the price of our securities could decline. Moreover, the price of our securities could decline if one or more equity research analysts downgrade our securities or if those analysts issue other unfavorable commentary or cease publishing reports about us or our business.

Our issuance of additional share capital in connection with financings, acquisitions, investments, our equity incentive plans or otherwise will dilute all other shareholders.

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

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, and as a result, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of Pubco Ordinary Shares.

We do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, and any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development, operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends from future earnings for the foreseeable future. In addition, our ability to pay dividends is limited by our indebtedness and may be limited by covenants of any future indebtedness we incur. Our board of directors has complete discretion as to whether to distribute dividends, subject to certain requirements of Cayman Islands law. In addition, our shareholders may by ordinary resolution declare a dividend, but no dividend may exceed the amount recommended by our directors. Under Cayman Islands law, a Cayman Islands company may pay a dividend out of either profit or share premium account, provided that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid if this would result in Pubco being

Table of Contents

unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. Even if our board of directors decides to declare and pay dividends, the timing, amount and form of future dividends, if any, will depend on our future results of operations and cash flow, our capital requirements and surplus, the amount of distributions, if any, received by us from the operating entities, our financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. Accordingly, the return on your investment in Pubco Ordinary Shares will likely depend entirely upon any future price appreciation of Pubco Ordinary Shares. There is no guarantee that Pubco Ordinary Shares will appreciate in value after the consummation of the Business Combination or even maintain the price at which you purchased Pubco Ordinary Shares. You may not realize a return on your investment in Pubco Ordinary Shares and you may even lose your entire investment in Pubco Ordinary Shares.

We are an “emerging growth company,” and we cannot be certain if the reduced reporting and disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our securities less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The combined company does not intend 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 combined 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 combined company’s financial statements with certain other public companies difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

We will be a foreign private issuer, and as a result, we will not be subject to U.S. proxy rules and will be subject to Exchange Act reporting obligations that, to some extent, are more lenient and less frequent than those of a U.S. domestic public company.

Upon the Closing, we will report under the Exchange Act as a non-U.S. company with foreign private issuer status. Because we qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we are exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies, including, among others, (1) the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act, (2) the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their share

Table of Contents

ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time, and (3) the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specified information. In addition, foreign private issuers are not required to file their annual report on Form 20-F until 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, while U.S. domestic issuers that are accelerated filers are required to file their annual report on Form 10-K within 75 days after the end of each fiscal year, and U.S. domestic issuers that are large accelerated filers are required to file their annual report on Form 10-K within 60 days after the end of each fiscal year. As a result of all of the above, you may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of a company that is not a foreign private issuer.

As we are a “foreign private issuer” and intend to follow certain home country corporate governance practices, our shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.

As a foreign private issuer, we have the option to follow certain home country corporate governance practices rather than those of Nasdaq, provided that we disclose the requirements we are not following and describe the home country practices we are following. We intend to rely on this “foreign private issuer exemption” with respect to Nasdaq rules for shareholder meeting quorums and shareholder approval requirements. We may in the future elect to follow home country practices with regard to other matters. As a result, our shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.

We may lose our foreign private issuer status in the future, which could result in significant additional costs and expenses.

As discussed above, we are a foreign private issuer, and therefore, we are not required to comply with all of the periodic disclosure and current reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. 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. In the future, we would lose our foreign private issuer status if (1) more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities are owned by U.S. residents and (2) a majority of our directors or executive officers are U.S. citizens or residents, a majority of our assets are located in the U.S., or our business is administered principally in the United States. If we lose our foreign private issuer status, we 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. We will also have to mandatorily comply with U.S. federal proxy requirements, and our 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, we will lose our ability to rely upon exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements under the listing rules of Nasdaq. A U.S.-listed public company that is not a foreign private issuer will incur significant additional legal, accounting and other expenses that a foreign private issuer will not incur.

We will incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to compliance with our public company responsibilities and corporate governance practices.

As a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company, which we expect to further increase after we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the listing requirements of Nasdaq, and other applicable securities rules and regulations impose various requirements on public companies. Our management and other personnel are not experienced in managing a public company and will be required to devote a substantial amount of time to comply with these requirements. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. We cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we will incur as a public company or the specific timing of such costs.

As a result of being a public company, we are obligated to develop and maintain proper and effective internal controls over financial reporting, and any failure to maintain the adequacy of these internal controls may adversely affect investor confidence in our company and, as a result, the value of our securities.

We will be required, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the fiscal year that coincides with the filing of our second annual report on Form 20-F. This assessment will need to include disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting. In addition,

Table of Contents

our independent registered public accounting firm will be required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in our first annual report required to be filed with the SEC following the date we are no longer an “emerging growth company.”

Our current internal controls and any new controls that we develop may become inadequate because of changes in conditions in our business. In addition, changes in accounting principles or interpretations could also challenge our internal controls and require that we establish new business processes, systems and controls to accommodate such changes. Additionally, if these new systems, controls or standards and the associated process changes do not give rise to the benefits that we expect or do not operate as intended, it could materially and adversely affect our financial reporting systems and processes, our ability to produce timely and accurate financial reports or the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Moreover, our business may be harmed if we experience problems with any new systems and controls that result in delays in their implementation or increased costs to correct any post-implementation issues that may arise.

During the evaluation and testing process of our internal controls, if we identify one or more material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we will be unable to certify that our internal control over financial reporting is effective. We cannot assure you that there will not be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting in the future. Any failure to maintain internal control over financial reporting could severely inhibit our ability to accurately report our financial condition or results of operations. If we are unable to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm determines that we have a material weakness or significant deficiency in our internal control over financial reporting, we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, the market price of our securities could decline, and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities. Failure to remedy any material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, or to implement or maintain other effective control systems required of public companies, could also restrict our future access to the capital markets.

The growth and expansion of our business places a continuous, significant strain on our operational and financial resources, and our internal controls and procedures may not be adequate to support our operations. As we continue to grow, we may not be able to successfully implement requisite improvements to these systems, controls and processes, such as system access and change. The growth and expansion of our business places a continuous, significant strain on our operational and financial resources. Further growth of our operations to support our customer base, our information technology systems and our internal controls and procedures may not be adequate to support our operations. As we continue to grow, we may not be able to successfully implement requisite improvements to these systems, controls and processes, such as system access and change management controls, in a timely or efficient manner. Our failure to improve our systems and processes, or their failure to operate in the intended manner, whether as a result of the growth of our business or otherwise, may result in our inability to accurately forecast our revenue and expenses, or to prevent certain losses. Moreover, the failure of our systems and processes could undermine our ability to provide accurate, timely and reliable reports on our financial and operating results and could impact the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, our systems and processes may not prevent or detect all errors, omissions or fraud.

We do not intend to make any determinations on whether we or our non-U.S. subsidiaries are controlled foreign corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

We do not intend to make any determinations on whether we or any of our subsidiaries are treated as “controlled foreign corporations” within the meaning of Section 957(a) of the Code (“CFCs”), or whether any U.S. Holder of Pubco Ordinary Shares is treated as a “United States shareholder” within the meaning of Section 951(b) of the Code with respect to any such CFC. We do not expect to furnish to any U.S. Holder of Pubco Ordinary Shares information that may be necessary to comply with applicable reporting and tax paying obligations with respect to CFCs. The IRS has provided limited guidance regarding the circumstances in which investors may rely on publicly available information to comply with their reporting and taxpaying obligations with respect to CFCs. U.S. Holders of Pubco Ordinary Shares should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of these rules to their particular circumstances.

We may be subject to securities litigation, which is expensive and could divert management attention.

The market price of our securities may be volatile and, in the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Securities litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention from other business concerns, which could seriously harm its business.

The Amended Pubco Charter designate specific courts in Cayman Islands and the United States as the exclusive forum for certain litigation that may be initiated by the holders of our ordinary shares or other securities, which could limit their ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us.

Pursuant to the Amended Pubco Charter, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the courts of the Cayman Islands shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear, settle and/or determine any dispute, controversy or claim (including any non-contractual dispute, controversy or claim) of (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of Pubco, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of Pubco to Pubco or Pubco’s shareholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Companies Act or these Articles including but not limited to any purchase or acquisition of shares, security or guarantee provided in consideration thereof, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against Pubco which if brought in the United States of America would be a claim arising under the internal affairs doctrine (as such concept is recognized under the laws of the United States from time to time). The Cayman Forum Provision will not apply to any causes of action arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act. The Amended Pubco Charter further provides that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by relevant law, United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (or, if the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York lacks subject matter jurisdiction over a particular dispute, the state courts in New York County, New York) shall be the exclusive forum within the United States for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising out of or relating to the federal securities laws of the United States. In addition, the Amended Pubco Charter provides that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any shares or other securities in us is deemed to have notice of and consented to the Cayman Forum Provision and the Federal Forum Provision. Notwithstanding the above, holders of our ordinary shares or other securities cannot and will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

We recognize that the Cayman Forum Provision and the Federal Forum Provision in the Amended Pubco Charter may impose additional litigation costs on holders of our ordinary shares or other securities in pursuing their claims, particularly if the holders do not reside in or near the Cayman Islands or the United States. Additionally, the forum selection clauses in the Amended Pubco Charter may limit the holders’ ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that they find favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees, which may discourage the filing of lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and employees, even though an action, if successful, might benefit holders of our securities.

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

Although AIB has conducted due diligence on PSI, this diligence may not surface all material issues that may be present with PSI’s business. Factors outside of AIB’s and outside of PSI’s control may, at any time, arise. As a result of these factors, we may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure its operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in our reporting losses. Even if AIB’s due diligence successfully identified certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with our preliminary risk analysis. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and therefore not have an immediate impact on our liquidity, the fact that our reports charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about us or our securities. In addition, charges of this nature may cause us to violate net worth or other covenants to which we may be subject as a result of assuming pre-existing debt held by PSI or by virtue of us obtaining post-combination debt financing. Furthermore, charges of this nature may cause us to be unable to obtain future financing on favorable terms or at all. Accordingly, any holders who choose to retain their securities following the Business Combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their securities. Such holders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value.

Nasdaq may not list Pubco’s securities on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in Pubco’s securities and subject Pubco to additional trading restrictions.

In connection with the Business Combination, in order to continue to maintain the listing of securities on Nasdaq, we will be required to demonstrate Pubco’s compliance with Nasdaq’s initial listing requirements, which are more rigorous than Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements. We will apply to have Pubco’s securities listed on Nasdaq upon consummation of the Business Combination. We cannot assure you that we will be able to meet all initial listing requirements. Even if Pubco’s securities are listed on Nasdaq, Pubco may be unable to maintain the listing of its securities in the future.

If Pubco fails to meet the initial listing requirements and Nasdaq does not list its securities on its exchange, Pubco would not be required to consummate the Business Combination. In the event that Pubco elected to waive this condition, and the Business Combination were consummated without Pubco’s securities being listed on Nasdaq or on another national securities exchange, Pubco could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

• a limited availability of market quotations for Pubco’s securities;

• reduced liquidity for Pubco’s securities;

• a determination that Pubco’s shares are “penny stocks” which will require brokers trading in Pubco’s shares to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for Pubco’s securities;

• a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

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

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” If Pubco’s securities are not listed on Nasdaq, such securities would not qualify as covered securities and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities because states are not preempted from regulating the sale of securities that are not covered securities.

Pubco’s corporate actions that require shareholder approval will be substantially controlled by its controlling shareholder, Mr. Yee Kit Chan, who will have significant influence over such matters, and their interests may not be aligned with the interest of other shareholders.

Immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination, Mr. Yee Kit Chan, the chairman of the board of directors of Pubco, is expected to own 61.6% of the issued and outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares, assuming a no redemption scenario (64.1% assuming a maximum redemption scenario). For so long as Mr. Chan continues to control shares representing a majority of Pubco’s voting power, it will generally be able to determine the outcome of all corporate actions requiring shareholder approval, and control or exert significant influence on the composition of the board of directors. Mr. Chan’s interests may not be aligned with the interests of other shareholders of Pubco following the Closing. We might be prevented from entering into transactions that could be beneficial to us without the consent of Mr. Chan. This concentration of ownership may also discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of Pubco, which could deprive shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for Pubco Ordinary Shares as part of a sale of Pubco and may significantly reduce the price of Pubco Ordinary Shares.

You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through U.S. courts may be limited as Pubco is incorporated under the law of the Cayman Islands. Following the consummation of the Business Combination, all of Pubco’s operations will be located, and all of its directors and executive officers will reside, outside of the United States.

Pubco is an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, and following the Business Combination, will conduct all of its operations through its subsidiary, PSI, outside the United States. Substantially all of Pubco’s assets are located outside of the United States. All of Pubco’s officers and directors reside outside the United States and a portion of the assets of those persons are located outside of the United States. As a result, it could be difficult or impossible for you to bring an action against Pubco or against these individuals outside of the United States in the event that you believe that your rights have been infringed upon under the applicable securities laws or otherwise. Even if you are successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws of the Cayman Islands could render you unable to enforce a judgment against Pubco’s assets or the assets of Pubco’s directors and officers.

102

Table of Contents

In addition, Pubco’s corporate affairs will be governed by the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of Pubco, the Cayman Companies Act and 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 ordinary shareholders and the fiduciary duties of Pubco’s directors under Cayman Islands law may not be as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a different body of securities laws than the United States. Some U.S. states, such as Delaware, may have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law than the Cayman Islands.

Shareholders of Cayman Islands exempted 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 (other than the memorandum and articles of association, the registers of mortgages and charges, and copies of any special resolutions passed by the shareholders of such companies). The Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands shall make available the list of the names of the current directors of Pubco (and where applicable the current alternate directors of Pubco) for inspection by any person upon payment of a fee by such person. Pubco’s directors will have discretion under the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of Pubco to determine whether or not, and under what conditions, Pubco’s corporate records may be inspected by its ordinary shareholders, but Pubco is not obliged to make them available to the ordinary shareholders. This may make it more difficult for you to obtain the information needed to establish any facts necessary for a shareholder to motion or to solicit proxies from other shareholders in connection with a proxy contest. See “Description of Pubco Securities — Special Considerations for Exempted Companies — Inspection of Books.”

Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands, which is Pubco’s home country, differ significantly from requirements for companies incorporated in other jurisdictions such as the United States. To the extent Pubco chooses to follow home country practice with respect to corporate governance matters, its shareholders may be afforded less protection than they otherwise would under rules and regulations applicable to U.S. domestic issuers. See “Management of Pubco Following the Business Combination — Foreign Private Issuer Status.”

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

Pubco may be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing rules and, as a result, may rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements that provide protection to shareholders of other companies. If Pubco relies on these exemptions, you will not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to such requirements.

Upon the Closing, Mr. Yee Kit Chan, the chairman of the board of directors of Pubco, is expected to own 61.6% of the issued and outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares, assuming a no redemption scenario (64.1% assuming a maximum redemption scenario). As a result, Pubco will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of applicable Nasdaq listing rules. Under these rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company.” For so long as Pubco remains a “controlled company,” it may elect not to comply with the following corporate governance requirements:

• that a majority of the board of directors consists of independent directors;

• that it has a nominating and corporate governance committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities; and

• that it has a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibility.

Upon Closing, Pubco expects to exempt from the requirements that a majority of the board of directors consists of independent directors, and that each of the nominating and corporate governance committee and the compensation committee is composed entirely of independent directors. As a result, you may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.

Table of Contents

Recommendation of the AIB Board with Respect to the Proposals

The Board believes that the Business Combination Proposal and the other Proposals to be presented at the Meeting are in the best interest of AIB shareholders and recommends that AIB shareholders vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the Merger Proposal, and, if presented at the Meeting, “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.

Record Date; Who is Entitled to Vote

AIB has fixed the close of business on [ ], 2024, as the Record Date for determining the shareholders entitled to notice of and to attend and vote at the Meeting. As of the close of business on [ ], 2024, there were 3,612,025 AIB Class A Ordinary Shares and one Class B Ordinary Shares outstanding and entitled to vote. Each Ordinary Share is entitled to one vote per share on each Proposal.

Quorum

The holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding AIB Ordinary Shares being individuals present in person or by proxy or if a corporation or other non-natural person by its duly authorized representative or proxy (which would include presence at the virtual Meeting) shall constitute a quorum.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

With respect to each Proposal in this proxy statement/prospectus, you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN.”

If a shareholder fails to return a proxy card or fails to instruct a broker or other nominee how to vote, and does not attend the Meeting in person, then the shareholder’s shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Meeting. If a valid quorum is established, any such failure to vote or to provide voting instructions will have no effect on the outcome of any other Proposal in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Abstentions and broker-non votes will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established but will have no effect on any of the Proposals.

Vote Required for Approval

closed simultaneously with the AIB IPO. These Private Shares constitute approximately 9.6% of the outstanding AIB Ordinary Shares as of [ ], 2024. As such, the Founder Shares, the Private Shares underlying the Private Placement Units held by AIB Initial Shareholders in the aggregate represent approximately 69.3% of the outstanding AIB Ordinary Shares as of [ ], 2024, which is sufficient to approve the Business Combination Proposal.

Voting Your Shares

Each Ordinary Share that you own in your name entitles you to one vote. Your proxy card shows the number of Ordinary Shares that you own. 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. There are two ways to vote your Ordinary Shares at the 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 the AIB Board “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the Merger Proposal, and if presented at the Meeting, “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.

• You Can Attend the Meeting and Vote Online. AIB will be hosting the Meeting via live webcast. If you attend the Meeting, you may submit your vote at the Meeting online at https:// _____________, in which case any votes that you previously submitted will be superseded by the vote that you cast at the Meeting.

Shareholders also may revoke their proxy by sending a notice of revocation to AIB’s Chief Executive Officer, which must be received by AIB’s Chief Executive Officer prior to the vote at the Meeting. However, if your shares are held in “street name” by your broker, bank or another nominee, you must contact your broker, bank or other nominee to change your vote.

Vote of AIB’s Initial Shareholders, Directors and Officers

Table of Contents

Ordinary Shares as of [ ], 2024. As such, the Founder Shares, the Private Shares underlying the Private Placement Units held by AIB Initial Shareholders in the aggregate represent approximately 69.3% of the outstanding AIB Ordinary Shares as of [ ], 2024, which is sufficient to approve the Business Combination Proposal.

Additionally, all of AIB’s initial shareholders have waived any redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination.

Redemption Rights

AIB Public Shareholders may seek to redeem the Public Shares that they hold, regardless of whether they affirmatively vote for the Business Combination, against the Business Combination, or do not vote in relation to the Business Combination.

Any Public Shareholder may request redemption of their Public Shares for a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds and not previously released to AIB to pay AIB’s taxes, divided by the number of then-outstanding Public Shares, provided, however that such Public Shareholder must follow the procedures outlined in this proxy statement/prospectus, in order to receive cash for any Public Shares such Public Shareholder intends to redeem. As of March 31, 2024, this would have amounted to approximately $11.66 per Public Share.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of Public Shares, together with any affiliate of such Public Shareholder or any other person with whom such Public Shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its Public Shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares. Accordingly, if a Public Shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the Public Shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

AIB Initial Shareholders, officers and directors will not have redemption rights with respect to any Public Shares owned by them, directly or indirectly.

You will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if you:

• hold Public Shares; and

• prior to [ ], Eastern Time, on [ ], 2024 (two business days prior to the vote at the Meeting) (i) submit a written request to the transfer agent that AIB redeem your Public Shares for cash and (ii) deliver your share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms to the transfer agent, physically or electronically through DTC.

Public Shares that have not been tendered (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be redeemed for cash.

If the Business Combination is not approved or completed for any reason, then the Public Shareholders who elected to exercise their redemption rights will not be entitled to redeem their shares. In such case, AIB will promptly return any shares previously delivered by Public Shareholders.

The closing price of shares of AIB Class A Ordinary Shares on May 22, 2024 was $11.53 per share. Prior to exercising redemption rights, Public Shareholders should verify the market price of Class A Ordinary Shares, as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their Public Shares in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. AIB cannot assure shareholders that they will be able to sell their 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 AIB’s securities when AIB’s shareholders wish to sell their shares.

107

Table of Contents

Appraisal or Dissenters’ Rights

Proxy Solicitation Costs

AIB is soliciting proxies on behalf of AIB Board. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone or in person. AIB and AIB’s directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other electronic means. AIB will bear the cost of the solicitation.

AIB has hired Advantage Proxy to assist in the proxy solicitation process. AIB will pay Advantage Proxy a fee of $10,000. Such fee will be paid with funds available at the Closing.

AIB will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward the proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. AIB will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

Potential Purchases of Public Shares and/or Rights

At any time prior to the Meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding AIB or AIB’s securities, AIB Initial Shareholders, PSI and/or their respective affiliates may purchase Class A Ordinary Shares, rights or units from investors, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire Public Shares or vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood that the Proposals are approved at the Meeting or to provide additional equity financing. Any such share purchases and other transactions may thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining shareholder approval of the Business Combination. This may result in the completion of the Business Combination that may not otherwise have been possible. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, none of AIB Initial Shareholders has any plans to make any such purchases. AIB will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the Proposals. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

Entering into any such incentive arrangements may have a depressive effect on outstanding AIB Ordinary Shares. The existence of financial and personal interests of AIB’s directors and officers may result in conflicts of interest, including a conflict between what may be in the best interests of AIB and its shareholders and what may be best for a director’s personal interests when determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the Proposals. See “Risk Factors,” “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of AIB’s Initial Shareholders and Advisors in the Business Combination” and “Beneficial Ownership of AIB Securities Before the Business Combination” for more information and other risks.

THE BUSINESS COMBINATION AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS

The Business Combination Agreement and Related Agreements

The subsections that follow this subsection describe the material provisions of the Business Combination Agreement, but do not purport to describe all of the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex A hereto. Shareholders and other interested parties are urged to read the Business Combination Agreement carefully and in its entirety (and, if appropriate, with the advice of financial advisor and legal counsel) because it is the primary legal document that governs the Business Combination.

The Business Combination Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of the Business Combination Agreement or other specific dates, which could be updated prior to the Closing. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the Business Combination Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Business Combination Agreement are also modified in important part by the disclosure schedules attached thereto which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality that may be different from that generally applicable to shareholders. The disclosure schedules were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. AIB does not believe that the disclosure schedules contain information that is material to an investment decision.

General Description of the Business Combination Agreement

Description of the Business Combination Agreement

Consideration

As a result of the Mergers, (a) each of the ordinary shares of PSI that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time will be cancelled and converted into (i) the right to receive 90% of such number of ordinary shares of Pubco equal to the Exchange Ratio, and (ii) the contingent right to receive 10% of such number of ordinary shares of Pubco equal to the Exchange Ratio in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. Each AIB Ordinary Share that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Merger Effective Time shall be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive one Pubco Ordinary Share. Each issued and outstanding AIB Right shall be automatically converted into one-tenth of one Pubco Ordinary Share, provided that Pubco will not issue fractional shares in exchange for the AIB Rights.

Prior to the Closing, PSI shall deliver to AIB the Estimated Closing Statement setting forth a good faith calculation of PSI’s estimate of the Closing Net Debt, Net Working Capital and Transaction Expenses, and the resulting Aggregate Merger Consideration Amount and Company Merger Shares based on such estimates. Pubco, the AIB Representative and Continental (or such other escrow agent mutually acceptable AIB and PSI), as Escrow Agent, will enter into an Escrow Agreement, pursuant to which Pubco shall cause to be delivered to the Escrow Agent

109

a number of Company Merger Shares equal in value to ten percent (10%) of the Aggregate Merger Consideration Amount otherwise issuable to PSI shareholders at the Closing based on the Estimated Closing Statement to be held, along with any other dividends, distributions or other income on the Escrow Shares, in a segregated Escrow Account. Within 90 days after the Closing, Pubco’s chief financial officer will deliver to the AIB Representative the Closing Statement setting forth (i) a consolidated balance sheet of the Target Companies as of the Reference Time and (ii) a good faith calculation of the Closing Net Debt, Net Working Capital and Transaction Expenses, in each case, as of the Reference Time, and the resulting Aggregate Merger Consideration Amount and Company Merger Shares based on such estimates. If the Adjustment Amount is a positive number, then Pubco will issue to PSI shareholders an additional number of Pubco Ordinary Shares equal to (x) the Adjustment Amount, divided by (y) the Per Share Price, with each Company shareholder receiving its pro rata share of such additional Pubco Ordinary Shares, up to a maximum number of Pubco Ordinary Shares equal to the value of the Escrow Property in the Escrow Account at such time (with each Pubco Ordinary Share and Escrow Share valued at the Per Share Price for such purposes). If the Adjustment Amount is a negative number, then Pubco and the AIB Representative will provide joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to distribute to Pubco a number of Escrow Shares (and, after distribution of all Escrow Shares, other Escrow Property) with a value equal to the absolute value of the Adjustment Amount (with each Escrow Share valued at the Per Share Price). Pubco will cancel any Escrow Shares distributed to it by the Escrow Agent and distribute the remainder (if any) to PSI shareholders, with each Company shareholder receiving its pro rata share of such remaining Pubco Ordinary Shares.

Representations and Warranties

In the Business Combination Agreement, PSI made certain customary representations and warranties to AIB, including among others, related to the following: (1) corporate matters, including due organization, existence and good standing; (2) authority and binding effect relative to execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement and other Ancillary Documents; (3) capitalization; (4) subsidiaries; (5) governmental approvals; (6) non-contravention; (7) financial statements; (8) absence of certain changes; (9) compliance with laws; (10) Company permits; (11) litigation; (12) material contracts; (13) intellectual property; (14) taxes and returns; (15) real property; (16) personal property; (17) title to and sufficiency of assets; (18) employee matters; (19) benefit plans; (20) environmental matters; (21) transactions with related persons; (22) insurance; (23) top customers and suppliers; (24) certain business practices; (25) Investment Company Act; (26) finders and brokers; (27) information supplied; (28) independent investigation; and (29) exclusivity of representations and warranties.

Table of Contents

None of the representations and warranties of the parties shall survive the Closing.

Covenants of the Parties

It was agreed by the parties that, after the Closing, the funds in AIB’s Trust Account, as well as any proceeds received by Pubco or AIB from any PIPE investment originated directly or indirectly by or through AIB or its representatives, after taking into account payments for redemptions of AIB Public Shareholders, will first be used to pay (i) AIB’s accrued transaction expenses payable in cash at Closing, (ii) any loans owed by AIB to the Sponsor for expenses, and (iii) PSI’s unpaid transaction expenses; provided, however, that to the extent that the aggregate amounts payable in cash described in (i) and (ii) above exceed $1,500,000, the Sponsor will bear 100% of such Excess SPAC Expense Amount, and to the extent the Sponsor fails to pay or otherwise discharge such Excess SPAC Expense Amount at Closing, the Sponsor will automatically be deemed to irrevocably transfer to Pubco and forfeit for cancellation for no consideration, a quantity of Pubco Ordinary Shares equal to (x) the Sponsor Shortfall divided by (y) $10.00.

Conditions to Closing

The obligations of the parties to consummate the Business Combination are subject to various conditions, including the following mutual conditions of the parties unless waived: (i) the approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination and related matters by the requisite vote of AIB’s shareholders; (ii) obtaining material regulatory approvals; (iii) no law or order preventing or prohibiting the Business Combination; (iv) AIB having at least $5,000,001 in net tangible assets as of the Closing, after giving effect to the completion of the redemption and any PIPE financing that has been funded; (v) amendment by the shareholders of Pubco of Pubco’s memorandum and articles of association; (vi) the effectiveness of this registration statement; (vii) appointment of the post-closing directors of Pubco; and (viii) Nasdaq listing requirements having been fulfilled.

of any Material Adverse Effect with respect to AIB since the date of the Business Combination Agreement which is continuing and uncured; and (iv) receipt by PSI and Pubco of the Ancillary Documents duly executed and approved by the other parties thereto.

Background of the Business Combination

AIB is a Cayman Islands exempted company structured as a blank check company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities.

Prior to entering into the Business Combination Agreement, AIB conducted a thorough search for a potential business combination transaction, utilizing the network of investing and operating experience of its management team and the AIB Board. The terms of the Business Combination with PSI were the result of thorough negotiations between the representatives of AIB and PSI, based on diligence efforts of AIB management with the support of its advisors, as further described below.

Prior to the consummation of the IPO, neither AIB, nor anyone on its behalf, had any substantive discussions, formal or otherwise, with respect to a proposed transaction with PSI. The following is a brief description of the background of the negotiations, the Business Combination and related transactions.

From the date of its IPO through the date of the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, AIB’s management and the AIB Board evaluated and considered a number of potential target companies as candidates for a possible business combination transaction. Representatives of AIB contacted and were contacted by a number of

115

Table of Contents

individuals and entities who offered to present potential acquisition opportunities to AIB across a wide array of health, financial technology, cryptocurrency, blockchain and logistics sectors and the products, devices, applications and technology driving growth within these verticals technology, with a focus on the United States and the Asian markets.

AIB and its advisors compiled a list of high priority potential targets and updated and supplemented such lists from time to time. We would make decisions on how to prioritize targets according to size, profitability, cash requirements, readiness, and willingness of the target to move quickly. This list of potential opportunities was periodically shared with, and reviewed in detail by the AIB Board.

During that period, AIB and representatives of AIB:

• Identified and evaluated over 28 potential acquisition target companies;

• Participated in in-person or telephonic discussions with representatives of more than 25 potential acquisition targets; and

• Signed more than 10 non-disclosure agreements and submitted initial non-binding indications of interest to representatives of approximately six potential acquisition targets (including PSI), of which four letters of intent were executed.

AIB reviewed the potential acquisition opportunities based on criteria that were the same or similar to the criteria that the AIB Board used in evaluating the potential Business Combination with PSI (as discussed below), which included, among other criteria, the cash requirements at Closing, the readiness and willingness of potential target companies to become public, the markets in which potential target companies operate and their competitive positions and “track records” within such markets, the experience of the potential target companies’ management teams and the potential for revenue and earnings growth and strong free cash flow generation. AIB focused on sectors and companies that its management believed would benefit from being a publicly traded company on a stock exchange in the United States.

The following chronicle of events leading up to the execution of the Business Combination Agreement with PSI is not intended to be a complete list of all opportunities initially evaluated or explored or discussions held by AIB, but sets forth the significant discussions and steps that AIB took prior to execution of the Business Combination Agreement with PSI.

Description of Negotiation Process with Candidates Other Than PSI

Following the completion of the IPO, representatives of AIB engaged in extensive discussions with several financial advisors, consulting firms and companies, with respect to potential acquisition opportunities. Management initially focused AIB’s search on targets operating in the financial technology, nutrition, digital media, health and beauty sectors. Below is a summary of AIB’s negotiation process with the five potential acquisition targets (other than PSI) with which AIB had significant discussions.

Company A

On April 1, 2022, Mr. Eric Chen, AIB’s Chief Executive Officer, held a conference call with an independent investment bank and financial services firm based in the United States, acting as advisor to Company A, in order to have a discussion about Company A, a COVID and other blood testing provider in the United States, to discuss the possibility of engaging in a business combination transaction. On April 10, 2022, the advisor shared with AIB a confidential information memorandum, an extract of Company A’s brand and market study, and a process letter setting out the next steps to advance AIB’s interest. Following initial review of Company A by AIB’s management team, on April 11, 2022, AIB sent to the advisor a proposed non-disclosure agreement for discussion purposes. On April 12, 2022, Mr. Chen visited Company A’s operation center in the United States to conduct due diligence on the testing facility and the variety of applications for COVID testing. After the site visit, Company A provided, among others, key financial metrics, products, distribution channels and investment opportunities. On May 2, 2022, the same participants, together with an additional California based financial specialist of the advisor, held a video conference to discuss in more detail the financial model which outlined the mechanics of engaging in a business combination transaction with a special purpose acquisition company. Initial concerns were raised about the cash and financing requirements to complete a business transaction with Company A. Over the course of the next week, Mr. Chen, Mr. Axel Hoerger, Chairman of AIB, and Ms. Brandy Gao, CFO of AIB, reviewed business materials and financial

116

Table of Contents

information provided by Company A’s advisor and performed, among others, a financial analysis of comparable publicly listed companies. On May 27, 2022, Mr. Chen verbally discussed potential terms for a non-binding indication of interest with representatives of Company A’s advisor, which terms included potential valuation assumptions. On May 31, 2022, Company A’s advisor informed Mr. Chen that Company A would not proceed with the proposed terms considering, following which, discussions between AIB and Company A ceased.

Company B

On June 3, 2022, Mr. Eric Chen of AIB received an introductory company profile from an independent agent based in Taiwan. Company B is a Taiwan based financial technology company with major market shares in the buy-now pay-later sector in Asia. Both sides started discussions for a possible business combination, which would result in the combined company being listed on the Nasdaq. Following execution of a non-disclosure agreement (“NDA”) with Company B, AIB’s management team and local financial advisors regularly discussed with Company B in order to gather additional information and assess whether Company B could be a good opportunity for a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company. It was understood at that time that AIB would be the only candidate for a potential transaction with Company B through verbal mutual agreement. AIB’s management began to prepare a non-binding indication of interest letter. A draft letter of intent was sent to Company B on August 1, 2022. Key terms of the indication of interest letter includes agreeing to a market valuation of USD 800 million, non-compete clause for 4 years after closing, lock-up period aligned with AIB’s management team and 7 directors in total after closing (5 from Company B and 2 from AIB).

On August 2, 2022, AIB commenced extensive due diligence by engaging local legal counsel, financial advisors as well as a fairness opinion provider. At the same time, AIB’s legal counsel, Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP (“EGS”), started to prepare a draft business combination agreement. On October 6, 2022, a draft agreement was provided to Company B for an extensive review by its senior officers/shareholders. Onsite negotiation was also conducted by AIB’s management team in Taiwan at Company B’s various affiliated offices. Following such visits, further comments were received from Company B’s advisor in the definitive agreement including, among other matters, the transaction value and the proposed earnout structure, and AIB management began to work on a revised agreement to address these comments. On October 11, 2022, Mr. Chen provided Company B’s advisor with the revised agreement. During the following weeks, the advisor discussed the revised terms with the management and shareholders of Company B. On October 25, 2022, the CEO of Company B informed Mr. Chen that he was unable to secure sufficient approval from Company B’s board for the deal. Company B wanted to wait for another year or two before going public, to gain better market valuation and sentiment. With no PIPE investors committed at that stage, AIB was not in a position to offer more liquidity and funding. Discussions between AIB and Company B were then terminated.

Company C

On February 22, 2022, Mr. Chen of AIB received a phone call from a friend, regarding a potential target company based in the United States (Company C). Company C was established with a goal to revolutionize early cancer detection technology using artificial intelligence. Mr. Chen executed a non-disclosure agreement with Company C’s advisor for the purposes of sourcing this potential target for a business combination. Following that, the advisor reached out to Mr. Chen to present a potential structure with Company C. On February 26, 2022, a non-disclosure agreement was signed between Company C and AIB to discuss further the possibility of engaging in a possible business combination transaction, which would result in the combined company being listed on the Nasdaq.

On February 27, 2022, a conference call was organized between Mr. Chen and the founders of Company C to have a general discussion about the business and some of the key financial metrics of Company C. Following that meeting, the founders of Company C provided AIB management with additional information and materials including, among others, a corporate presentation, cash flow model and consolidated financials. Following the initial review of Company C by AIB’s management, on March 8, 2022, AIB sent the founders of Company C a proposed non-binding letter of intent for discussion purposes, with an initial proposed valuation of $300 million. On March 10, 2022, AIB Management received comments on the letter of intent about, among other things, post-closing valuation, ownership and management structure. In the following days, AIB’s management and founders of Company C had multiple discussions about the valuation of Company C, the expected board and management structure after the business combination. On March 11, 2022, AIB management provided the founders of Company C with a revised non-binding indication of interest letter, including a valuation of $300 million together with additional terms such as an exclusivity period. During the following weeks, AIB management received regular questions and comments from the founders

117

Table of Contents

of Company C, who were seeking to understand the structure of the potential business combination including, among other things, the expected redemption level and potential sources of financing as well as the various requirements to be satisfied in order to complete a business combination with AIB, such as a PCAOB audit. After further discussions between the parties involved, it appeared that Company C lacked readiness and willingness to complete a transaction with AIB. By early April 2022, discussions between Company C and AIB had ceased.

Company D

On February 8, 2022, an associate of the Sponsor introduced Mr. Chen of AIB to one of the lead investors in Company D to discuss a potential business combination between Company D and AIB, which would result in the combined company being listed on the Nasdaq and offer an exit strategy to such investors. Following that phone call, the investor introduced Mr. Chen to a senior officer of an investment advisory firm based in Los Angeles, which had been appointed to discuss potential business transactions for Company D. On February 9, 2022, the investment firm provided Mr. Chen with a confidential information memorandum about Company D, and on February 10, 2022, the parties held a conference call to discuss the possibility a business combination transaction between Company D and AIB. Additional discussions were held between the parties, and on February 20, 2022, a non-disclosure agreement was signed between Company D and AIB to enable AIB to engage in further discussions and receive additional information and materials about Company D.

Following the execution of the NDA, additional conference calls were held between the parties leading to an in-person meeting at Company D’s office on February 24, 2022 between Mr. Chen, a senior officer of Company D’s advisory firm, and the Chief Executive Officer/Founder of Company D, to discuss Company D’s business and potential business combination terms, including, among other matters, closing cash requirements and related financing needs. Following that meeting, several conference calls were held between AIB’s management team and potential investors to gauge potential interests in a transaction with Company D. In addition, following that in person meeting, AIB had multiple discussions with Maxim, the underwriter for AIB’s IPO, which assisted AIB with the preparation of market analysis of Company D.

On March 2, 2022, Mr. Chen held a Zoom call with the senior officer of Company D’s advisory firm and Company D’s CEO, to discuss Company D’s business model and to understand the retail aspects of Company D’s business. Subsequent to that meeting, AIB’s management prepared a non-binding letter of intent, which was sent for discussion purposes on March 16, 2022, to Company D’s advisory firm. On March 18, 2022, AIB was given access to Company D’s virtual data room.

As one of Company D’s key requirements was to secure a substantial amount of cash at closing, AIB management commenced multiple discussions with several potential investors that might back a business combination. In the meantime, on March 22, 2022, AIB management sent a revised letter of intent, which included, among other terms, a higher ratio of cash offered at closing. The following week, Company D decided to postpone the conversation with AIB due to poor market sentiment and valuation.

Company E

On December 12, 2022, Mr. Eric Chen of AIB met with a representative of Maxim who acted as a broker for a U.S. based multi-media company to explore a potential business combination or asset sales. Following that discussion, on December 14, 2022, Maxim sent Mr. Chen initial materials and information about Company E, including a business plan and a corporate presentation. On December 15, 2022, a non-disclosure agreement was signed between Company E and AIB to engage in further discussions and receive additional information and materials about Company E. On December 21, 2022, a conference call was held among members of AIB management, including Mr. Chen, Mr. Hoerger, the Chief Executive Officer of Company E and the broker to discuss the opportunity of a potential business combination, which would result in the combined company being listed on the Nasdaq. During that conference call, the Chief Executive Officer of Company E also gave a general presentation of the business, its operations, its key financials, and expectations regarding a potential transaction with AIB. The Chief Executive Officer of Company E mentioned the importance of securing a minimum of $30 million at closing and was keen to understand the structure and the parameters of a potential business combination to discuss further with the management and the shareholders of Company E.

During the following weeks, Mr. Chen, Mr. Hoerger and the broker held regular conference calls to discuss the structure of a potential business combination and to prepare a tentative cap table based on different valuation and redemption scenarios. During that time, AIB’s management also worked with Maxim to perform market analysis and help assess the valuation of Company E. On January 10, 2023, AIB management provided the broker and the

118

Table of Contents

Chief Executive Officer of Company E with additional materials, including a presentation of AIB and its founders, the advantages of merging with a special purpose acquisition company, and a proposed cap table. On January 24, 2023, Mr. Chen had a zoom meeting with the Chief Executive Officer of Company E to discuss the potential transaction in general. On July 26, 2023, Mr. Chen, the broker and the Chief Executive Officer of Company E had another zoom call to discuss the potential business combination further and address concerns of Company E management, including, among others, redemption levels and cash available for distribution to shareholders.

During the following weeks, AIB management reviewed the materials and information provided about Company E and prepared the following materials, which AIB sent to Company E on March 21, 2023: a non-binding letter of intent, a post-combination cap table using different redemption scenarios, and a Q&A to address questions raised by the management of Company E. On April 5, 2023, Mr. Chen, the broker and the general manager of Company E had a conference call to resolve the final comments, and the letter of intent was executed later that day. Key terms of the letter of intent includes agreeing to a market valuation of USD 100 million, non-compete clause for 3 years after closing, lock-up period aligned with AIB’s management team and 7 directors in total after closing (5 from Company E and 2 from AIB).

Despite numerous attempts by both parties to secure PIPE investors for closing, on June 27, 2023, Mr. Chen had a call with the Chief Executive Officer of Company E, who mentioned that Company E would need an amount of cash required beyond what was expected and feasible and discussions terminated between AIB and Company E. The major disagreement between the two parties since signing of the letter of intent on April 5, 2023 was that Company E insisted on having a press release to showcase the partnership between the two parties before signing a business combination agreement. Company E felt this was necessary to gain traction from the market, thus would help in its effort to attract PIPE investors. AIB, under the recommendation of EGS, felt differently as AIB needs to protect its reputation and potential negative consequences should the deal fall apart. On August 15, 2023, AIB, dissatisfied with the lack of progress in its negotiations with Company E, terminated the letter of intent with Company E.

The Background of AIB’s Interaction with PSI

On August 16, 2023, Mr. Alex Jin, managing director of Maxim, was contacted by China and Partners Limited (“C&P”), PSI’s financial advisor, to discuss an opportunity for a potential business combination with a freight forwarding and logistics company headquartered in Hong Kong.

On August 17, 2023, Maxim introduced Ms. Mi Zhou and Ms. Xu Zijing from C&P to Mr. Eric Chen, CEO of AIB, on a call to discuss a business combination opportunity with PSI. Mr. Chen, Ms. Mi Zhou, the chief executive officer of C&P, and Mr. Jin attended the call. During the introductory call, AIB, Maxim and C&P discussed the basic information and background of AIB and PSI, respectively.

On August 20, 2023, Mr. Chen of AIB and Ms. Mi Zhou from C&P, on behalf of PSI, discussed the timeline for completing a business combination. On the same day, AIB sent a draft of the confidentiality agreement to PSI.

On August 21, 2023, AIB and PSI executed a confidentiality agreement.

On August 22, 2023, a kick-off meeting was held by and among AIB, EGS, legal counsel to AIB, PSI, C&P, and Cooley LLP (“Cooley”), legal counsel to PSI, and was attended by Mr. Chen of AIB and Mr. Yee Kit Chan and Mr. Hok Wai Alex Ko of PSI. During the call, the parties discussed PSI’s background, business model, growth strategies, and reasons for going public. The parties further discussed the key terms to be included in a non-binding letter of intent, including exclusivity, consideration, and possibility of a minimum cash condition. On the same day, PSI granted data room access to the AIB team, and C&P provided AIB and Maxim with PSI’s audited financial statements for the years ended December 2021 and 2022. AIB, Maxim and AIB’s counsel commenced their due diligence investigation on or around that date and it continued until the Business Combination Agreement was signed.

On August 23, 2023, PSI, through C&P, proposed that PSI’s valuation ranged from US$247 million to US$289 million, according to C&P’s calculation using the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) method based on PSI’s historical financial performance, market performance, market ranking, business model, business plan, and financial projections, and by comparing to a peer group of comparable public companies. AIB countered with a proposed pre-money enterprise valuation of $200 million, based on factors including future market outlooks, which valuation was subject to further business, legal and financial due diligence and the outcome of an independent third-party fairness opinion report to be commissioned by AIB. AIB management believed that a lower valuation would better address the difference between the parties’ expectations in valuation, balancing fairness and growth potential.

On August 24, 2023, AIB sent the first draft of a non-binding letter of intent (the “First Draft LOI”) to PSI and C&P, for a potential business combination between PSI and AIB. The First Draft LOI included, among other provisions, (i) a non-binding term sheet that specified an initial pre-money enterprise valuation of PSI of $200 million, (ii) a one-way exclusivity period of 60 days in favor of AIB, and (iii) a provision that the Sponsor shall have the right to appoint two directors on the board of the combined company post-closing. AIB’s team continued to review the data room and analyze the financial model.

On August 29, 2023, PSI sent AIB a revised version of the First Draft LOI (the “Second Draft LOI”), proposing certain revisions to the First Draft LOI, including, without limitation, (i) certain limitations to PSI’s waiver of claims against AIB’s Trust Account, (ii) an exclusivity period of 14 days instead of 60 days, (iii) automatic termination of the letter of intent upon expiration of exclusivity period, unless otherwise elected by the parties in writing, (iv) limitation of the directorship term of the directors designated by AIB, (v) settlement of AIB’s pre-closing transaction fees (including the deferred underwriting fees), providing that the combined company’s responsibility for certain of AIB’s pre-closing transaction fees would be capped at $400,000.

On September 1, 2023, AIB sent PSI a revised version of the Second Draft LOI (the “Third Draft LOI”), proposing certain revisions, including, without limitation, (i) an exclusivity period of 30 days instead of 14 days, (ii) removal of the termination mechanism upon expiration of the exclusivity period, and (iii) rejection of the pre-agreement of settlement of AIB’s pre-closing transaction fees and of a cap on the combined company’s responsibility therefor.

From September 5, 2023 through October 26, 2023, there were multiple calls between Mr. Chen of AIB and Mr. Ko of PSI to negotiate further the terms of the LOI. The major terms discussed included minimum cash requirement and transaction costs, and finally both parties agreed that there would be no minimum cash requirement at closing; however, both parties agreed to work together and use reasonable efforts to complete project finance and/or PIPE as needed. For the transaction costs, each party agreed to bear its own costs in the merger process, save that at the merger closing the combined company would pay the remaining balances attributable to AIB up to a pre-determined cap in excess of which the Sponsor would cover such expenses.

On September 14, 2023, PSI sent AIB a revised version of the Third Draft LOI (the “Fourth Draft LOI”), proposing certain revisions, including, without limitation, (i) an exclusivity period of 14 days from September 14, 2023, instead of 30 days from the execution of the letter of intent, and (ii) settlement of AIB’s pre-closing transaction fees, providing that the combined company would be responsible for certain of AIB’s pre-closing transaction fees up to $1,000,000.

On September 18, 2023, Maxim, EGS, C&P and Cooley held a conference call to discuss the revisions to the Fourth Draft LOI and the due diligence process for the potential business combination between PSI and AIB, and reported back to their respective clients.

On September 19, 2023, PSI further proposed to adjust PSI’s pre-money enterprise valuation to $204 million, based on C&P’s revised DCF analysis taking into account of PSI’s latest projections on costs of sales. AIB management strongly opposed it and suggested the valuation to remain at $200 million.

On September 25, 2023, AIB sent PSI a revised version of the Fourth Draft LOI (the “Fifth Draft LOI”), pushing back on most of PSI’s proposals in the Fourth Draft LOI.

On September 29, 2023, Ms. Zhou of C&P and Mr. Chen of AIB further discussed the concerns over the potential large cash payment for the unspecified transaction fees incurred or to be incurred by AIB.

On October 17, 2023, AIB sent PSI a further revised version of the Fifth Draft LOI (the “Sixth Draft LOI”), which raised the cap on AIB’s pre-closing transaction fees payable in cash at closing that would be borne by the combined company from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000 (again, with any excess to be borne solely by the Sponsor).

From October 16, 2023 to October 24, 2023, C&P and Mr. Chen of AIB further discussed the current and expected transaction fees incurred by AIB and the concerns from PSI in the event that AIB’s transaction fees exceed $1,500,000.

Table of Contents

On October 25, 2023, the parties confirmed their intention to enter into the letter of intent and AIB, EGS, Maxim, PSI, C&P, and Cooley attended an all-party call to discuss the timetable, drafting of the definitive documentation, and the deal structure. On the same day, tax teams from Cooley and EGS were connected to discuss the deal structure.

On October 26, 2023, AIB and PSI exchanged the signed letter of intent (the “Final LOI”) that included all material terms outlined in the Sixth Draft LOI. The Final LOI was non-binding, except for waiver against trust, confidentiality, exclusivity, conduct of business, access, expenses, termination, and other miscellaneous provisions thereof. The Final LOI outlined the proposed terms for the Business Combination for discussion purposes, including, among other things, transaction structuring considerations, an indicative pre-money enterprise value of PSI of $200 million (subject to further negotiation based on the outcome of independent fairness opinion report), with consideration of up to 20 million Pubco ordinary shares, subject to certain closing net debt, net working capital and PSI transaction expense adjustments, potential lock-up arrangements with respect to the combined company’s securities post-closing, potential 2-year non-compete covenant by significant shareholders of PSI, potential employment arrangements with certain executives of PSI, proposed post-closing corporate governance mechanisms, certain terms of the definitive agreement, initial proposed closing conditions, use of proceeds, and certain filing matters.

On November 1, 2023, Cooley shared the first draft of the Business Combination Agreement with EGS. In November 2023 and subsequent to the initial circulation of the draft Business Combination Agreement, EGS and Cooley discussed certain material terms as summarized below via email exchanges and video-conferences and thereafter exchanged multiple successive drafts of the Business Combination Agreement. In connection with these draft exchanges and discussions, Cooley and EGS also had regular contact with their respective clients and clients’ financial advisors during this period to keep them apprised of the status of the Business Combination Agreement and also solicited their feedback in connection with the negotiation thereof. The principal terms of the Business Combination Agreement being negotiated during such time related to, among other things, (i) the total aggregate consideration for the Business Combination, (ii) the mechanism of adjusting the aggregate consideration for the Business Combination based on PSI’s working capital, the indebtedness of PSI, and the amount of the transaction expenses, (iii) the use of the proceeds in the Trust Account and the settlement of AIB’s pre-closing transaction fees, (iv) the survival period of the representations and warranties and the indemnification liability of the parties, (v) the price per Pubco Ordinary Share, and (vi) the deal structure.

AIB’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination

The AIB Board, in evaluating the Business Combination, consulted with AIB’s management and its financial and legal advisors. In reaching its unanimous resolution (i) that the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination and the issuance of securities in connection therewith, are advisable and in the best interests of AIB and (ii) to recommend that the AIB shareholders adopt the Business Combination Agreement and approve the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the AIB Board considered a range of factors, including, but not limited to, the factors discussed below. In light of the number and wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination, the AIB Board did not consider it practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors that it considered in reaching its determination and supporting its decision. The AIB Board viewed its decision as being based on all of the information available and the factors presented to and considered by it. In addition, individual directors may have given different weight to different factors. This explanation of AIB’s reasons for 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 “Forward-Looking Statements.”

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

• A category leader or disruptor with a clear path to get there: PSI is differentiated in its respective freight forwarder/logistics category where the growth trajectory and industry dynamics suggest category leadership is probable. Key characteristics include established track record of 30 years in operation, demonstrated service efficacy and positive industry reviews;

• Significant growth in the past 3 years with favorable profitability characteristics: Strong momentum with a clear runway for future growth;

• Diverse customer base with new potential clients: PSI has a broad, diversified and growing customer base with demonstrated customer demand and great opportunity to expand in scale to new geographic areas;

• Digitally-enabled with scalable technology: PSI with a high-quality existing technology that supports continued scale and increased penetration that could benefit from investment in technology to further scale the business;

• Led by a proven and experienced team: Team that has expertise and track record in freight forwarding industries to achieve scale;

• Available at an attractive valuation: Valuation that is appropriate given comparable companies and transactions and that allows for considerable upside for investors;

• A platform for growth: Business whose service and value proposition position it to pursue organic and acquisitive growth across our targeted verticals where we see long-term favorable trends and a sizable number of opportunities as complementary add-ons;

• Upside opportunities: Business that can grow through service line extensions, geographic expansion and/or new channels;

• Reasonableness of consideration. Following a review of the financial data provided to AIB, including the financial projections of PSI, and the due diligence of PSI’s business conducted by AIB’s management and advisors, and taking into account the opinion received from KKG regarding the fairness of the Aggregate Merger Consideration Amount to be paid by AIB in the Business Combination, the AIB Board determined that the Aggregate Merger Consideration Amount to be paid in the Business Combination was fair to AIB;

• Shareholder liquidity. AIB Board believes that the Business Combination has the potential to offer shareholders enhanced liquidity given the obligation in the Business Combination Agreement to apply to list Pubco Ordinary Shares issued as Aggregate Merger Consideration Amount on the Nasdaq, a major U.S. stock exchange;

123

Table of Contents

• Financial condition. The AIB Board also considered factors such as PSI’s historical financial results, outlook, financial plan and debt structure. In considering these factors, the AIB Board reviewed PSI’s historical growth and its current prospects for growth if PSI achieves its business forecast and various historical and current balance sheet items of PSI. In reviewing these factors, the AIB Board noted that PSI will be well positioned to gain international market share and leverage its infrastructure;

• Lock-up. Certain stakeholders of PSI have agreed to be subject to a lockup in respect of their Pubco Ordinary Shares following consummation of the Business Combination, subject to certain customary exceptions, which will provide important stability to the leadership and governance of PSI;

• Other alternatives. After a thorough review of other business combination opportunities reasonably available to AIB, AIB concluded that the proposed Business Combination represents the best potential business combination for AIB and the most attractive opportunity based upon the process utilized to evaluate and assess other potential business combination targets; and

• Negotiated transaction. The financial and other terms of the Business Combination Agreement and the fact that such terms and conditions are reasonable and were the product of arm’s length negotiations between AIB and PSI.

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

• Macroeconomic risks. Macroeconomic uncertainty, including the potential impact of the post COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine and the Middle East and the effects it could have on PSI’s business post-Closing;

• Redemption risk. The potential that a significant number of AIB shareholders elect to redeem their shares in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination and pursuant to AIB’s Current Charter, which would potentially make the Business Combination more difficult to complete because redemptions may make it more challenging for Pubco to satisfy applicable exchange listing requirements at or immediately following the Closing;

• Shareholder vote. The risk that AIB shareholders may fail to provide the votes necessary to effect the Business Combination;

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

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

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

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

• Liquidation of AIB. The risks and costs to AIB if the Business Combination is not completed, including the risk of diverting management focus and resources from other business combination opportunities, which could result in AIB being unable to effect a business combination within the applicable time frame or to obtain shareholder approval for a further extension thereof;

• Growth initiatives may not be achieved. The risk that PSI growth into new geographic locations may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe;

• Projections or Forecasts. The risk that any projections/forecasts provided by PSI may not be realized as expected or on the timelines presented;

124

Table of Contents

• Board and independent committees. The risk that the board of directors and independent committees of Pubco do not possess adequate skills set within the context of PSI operating as a public company;

• AIB shareholders receiving a minority position in PSI. AIB shareholders will hold a minority position in PSI immediately after the Closing;

• Fees and expenses and time risk. The fees and expenses associated with completing the Business Combination and the substantial time and effort of management required to complete the Business Combination; and

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

The above discussion of the material factors considered by the AIB Board is not intended to be exhaustive, but does set forth the principal factors considered by the AIB Board. The AIB Board conducted an overall analysis of the factors described above, including thorough discussions with AIB’s legal and financial advisors, and considered the factors overall to be favorable to, and to support, its determination to approve the Business Combination and to recommend that AIB shareholders approve the Business Combination.

In considering the determination by the AIB Board that the Business Combination is advisable and fair to and in the best interests of AIB and its shareholders, shareholders should be aware that certain AIB directors and officers have arrangements that may cause them to have interests in the transaction that are different from, in addition to, or may conflict with the interests of AIB shareholders generally. See “Risk Factors,” “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of AIB’s Initial Shareholders and Advisors in the Business Combination” and “Beneficial Ownership of AIB Securities Before the Business Combination” for more information and other risks.

Opinion of KKG

On November 27, 2023, AIB engaged KKG to evaluate for the benefit of, and to advise, the AIB Board regarding the Aggregate Merger Consideration Amount in connection with the Business Combination. KKG was retained by AIB to provide its opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of AIB regarding the Business Combination. On December 20, 2023, KKG delivered its opinion (the “KKG Opinion”) to the AIB Board, to the effect that, based on financial, business and operating information available to it as of June 30, 2023, KKG’s analysis provided a fair market valuation of PSI equity value of approximately $200 million, and the total consideration to be paid by AIB in the Business Combination is fair to the AIB shareholders from a financial perspective.

The full text of the KKG Opinion, which sets forth, among other things, the assumptions made, matters considered and limitations on the scope of review undertaken by KKG in rendering its opinion, is attached as Annex D and is incorporated into this proxy statement/prospectus by reference in its entirety. Shareholders of AIB are encouraged to read the KKG Opinion carefully in its entirety. The KKG Opinion was addressed to the AIB Board for the use and benefit of the members of the AIB Board (in their capacities as such) in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination. The KKG Opinion was just one of the several factors the AIB Board took into account in making its determination to approve the Business Combination, including those described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The KKG Opinion only addressed whether, as of the date of the KKG Opinion, the Aggregate Merger Consideration Amount pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to AIB. It did not address any other terms, aspects, or implications of the Business Combination, the Business Combination Agreement or any related or other transaction or agreement, including, without limitation, (i) the lock-up agreements, the Support Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement which were entered into simultaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, (ii) any term or aspect of the Business Combination that is not susceptible to financial analysis, (iii) the fairness of the Business Combination, or all or any portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration Amount, to any securityholders of AIB, PSI or any other person or any creditors or other constituencies of AIB, PSI or any other person, (iv) the appropriate capital structure of AIB or PSI or whether Pubco should be issuing debt or equity securities or a combination of both in the Business Combination, (v) any capital raising or financing transaction contemplated by AIB, including, without limitation, any other financing, nor (vi) the fairness of the amount or nature, or any other aspect, of any compensation or consideration payable to or received by any officers, directors, or employees of

125

any parties to the Business Combination, or any class of such persons, relative to the Aggregate Merger Consideration Amount, or otherwise. KKG did not express any opinion as to what the value of Pubco Ordinary Shares or any other security of Pubco actually will be when issued in the Business Combination or the prices at which shares of AIB or any other securities of AIB, PSI or Pubco could trade, be purchased or sold at any time.

The KKG Opinion did not address the relative merits of the Business Combination as compared to any alternative transaction or business strategy that might have existed for AIB, or the merits of the underlying decision by the AIB Board or AIB to engage in or consummate the Business Combination. The financial and other terms of the Business Combination were determined pursuant to negotiations between the parties to the Business Combination Agreement and were not determined by or pursuant to any recommendation from KKG. In addition, KKG was not authorized to, and did not, solicit indications of interest from third parties regarding a potential transaction involving AIB.

KKG was not requested to, and did not, (a) initiate or participate in any discussions or negotiations with respect to the Business Combination, the securities, assets, businesses or operations of AIB, PSI or any other party, or any alternatives to the Business Combination, (b) negotiate the terms of the Business Combination, or (c) advise the AIB Board, AIB or any other party with respect to alternatives to the Business Combination. KKG’s analyses and opinion were necessarily based upon market, economic, and other conditions as they existed on, and could be evaluated as of the date of the KKG Opinion and upon certain assumptions regarding such financial, economic, market and other conditions, which were subject to unusual volatility and which, if different than assumed, could have a material impact on KKS’s analyses and opinion. Accordingly, although subsequent developments could arise that would otherwise affect its opinion, KKG did not assume any obligation to update, review, or reaffirm its opinion to AIB or any other person or otherwise to comment on or consider events occurring or coming to KKG’s attention after the date of its opinion.

In connection with its analysis, KKG has made such reviews, analyses, and inquiries as it deemed necessary and appropriate under the circumstances. KKG also took into account its assessment of general economic, market, and financial conditions, as well as its experience in business valuation in general, and with respect to similar transactions, in particular. KKG’s procedures, investigations, and financial analyses included, but were not limited to a review of:

• the Letter of Intent dated October 26, 2023;

• the Business Combination Agreement as of December 27, 2023;

• PSI’s audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, and PSI’s interim financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2023;

• forward-looking projections provided by PSI’s management from June 30, 2023 to December 31, 2027, regarding detailed growth drivers, a forecasted income statement, capital expenditures, and other related financial information;

• industry and market research;

• discussions with PSI and AIB’s management; and

• other documents related to the Business Combination and PSI.

Fees Paid to KKG

KKG received professional fees of $30,000, subject to hourly fees for material revisions for rendering its opinion and presentations to the AIB Board, no portion of which was contingent upon the completion of the Business Combination. In addition, AIB agreed to indemnify KKG and certain related parties for certain liabilities that may arise out of its engagement or the rendering of its opinion.

No portion of KKG’s fee is refundable or contingent upon the conclusion reached in the KKG Opinion. The terms of the fee arrangements with KKG, which AIB believes are customary in transactions of this nature, were negotiated at arm’s length, and the AIB Board is aware of these fee arrangements.

KKG

KKG is an independent valuation advisory and consulting firm. KKG has served 1,200 public companies and assisted with approximately 20 initial public offerings per year regarding valuation opinions or conclusions of value.

KKG’s principals and senior staff have issued numerous fairness opinions for boards of directors and company shareholders for a period of 26 years. Within the last couple of years, KKG has issued multiple opinions relating to SPAC and “de-SPAC” transactions. Additionally, KKG has extensive experience with SPACs outside of fairness opinions and has recently conducted valuations of public and private warrants as well as rights for approximately a dozen SPACs.

Valuation Methodology

In arriving at the PSI equity value result, KKG have considered three generally accepted approaches, namely, market approach, cost approach and income approach. Finally, KKG selected income approach to conclude the result and adopted market approach to cross check.

Market Approach

Market approach considers prices recently paid for similar assets, with adjustments made to market prices to reflect condition and utility of the appraised assets relative to the market comparative. Assets for which there is an established secondary market may be valued by this approach. Benefits of using this approach include its simplicity, clarity, speed and the need for few or no assumptions. It also introduces objectivity in application as publicly available inputs are used. However, one has to be wary of the hidden assumptions in those inputs as there are inherent assumptions on the value of those comparable assets. It is also difficult to find comparable assets. Furthermore, this approach relies exclusively on the efficient market hypothesis.

Cost Approach

Cost approach considers the cost to reproduce or replace in new condition the assets appraised in accordance with current market prices for similar assets, with allowance for accrued depreciation or obsolescence present, whether arising from physical, functional or economic causes. The cost approach generally furnishes the most reliable indication of value for assets without a known secondary market. Despite the simplicity and transparency of this approach, it does not directly incorporate information about the economic benefits contributed by the subject asset.

Income Approach

Income approach is the conversion of expected periodic benefits of ownership into an indication of value. It is based on the principle that an informed buyer would pay no more for the project than an amount equal to the present worth of anticipated future benefits (income) from the same or a substantially similar project with a similar risk profile.

This approach allows for the prospective valuation of future profits and there are numerous empirical and theoretical justifications for the present value of expected future cash flows. However, this approach relies on numerous assumptions over a long-time horizon and the result may be very sensitive to certain inputs. It also presents a single scenario only.

Valuation Methodology Selection

KKG considered the income and market approaches to derive an opinion of value as these approaches are the most appropriate when conducting a valuation of a going concern. Under the income approach, KKG utilized the DCF method. Under the market approach, KKG considered the comparable public companies method. KKG considered the comparable transactions method under the market approach; however, KKG disregarded this method as its primary approach due to a lack of recently traded comparable transactions. Considering market approach is influenced significantly by the market factors and comparable companies’ specific operating, KKG believes the PSI’s forecast better reflects PSI’s specific operating and business value, thus the main equity value result of PSI was developed through income approach DCF method based on the specific forecast provided by PSI.

127

Table of Contents

The main equity value result of PSI was developed through the application of the income approach DCF method. Under the method, the equity value result depends on the present worth of future economic benefits to be derived from the projected income. Indication of the result is developed by discounting projected future net cash flows available for payment of shareholders’ interest to their present worth.

KKG also applied market approach — comparable public companies method to cross check the result. The comparable public companies method considers the last twelve-month (the “LTM”) P/E multiple of comparable companies and PSI’s LTM net income to imply the equity value of PSI.

Income Approach — DCF Method

PSI Historical Financial Review

During the valuation procedure, KKG reviewed PSI’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021, 2022, and PSI’s interim financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2023 (collectively, the “Review Period”).

1. Historical Income Statements

PSI generated revenue of $71 million, $131 million, $98 million and $67 million in the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021, 2022 and the first six months of 2023. As discussed further in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of PSI — Exceptional Circumstances in 2021,” PSI management believes that 2021 was an exceptional year for PSI as well as the international logistics industry, largely driven by favorable market conditions. A surge in demand for air freight forwarding, coupled with limited supply of cargo space in the market, presented a unique opportunity. Demonstrating PSI’s agility and responsiveness to market needs, PSI expanded service offerings and secured a substantial amount of cargo capacity from long-term suppliers at competitive prices. PSI also increased number of chartered flights to accommodate sudden rise in demand for air cargo space. According to PSI management, this strategic move not only boosted PSI’s revenues for fiscal 2021 but also showcased PSI’s ability to quickly adapt and capitalize on evolving market dynamics. PSI’s revenue results from the first half of 2022 and the first half of 2023 further underscored PSI’s steady upward trajectory.

In the Review Period, PSI showed a stable financial performance as below, with consistent positive gross margin of 8.5% to 14.2%, EBIT margin of 3.6% to 11.4%, and net margin of 3.4% to 9.6%.

In USD’000	FY 2020		FY 2021		FY 2022		1H2023

EBIT margin	6.0	%	11.4	%	3.6	%	7.5	%
Net margin	5.2	%	9.6	%	3.4	%	5.8	%

2. Historical Balance Sheets

As of June 30, 2023, PSI possessed $17 million in net assets. PSI’s current assets consisted of $14 million of cash and cash equivalents and $16 million of account receivables. For non-current assets, PSI had property, plant and equipment assets of $257 thousand. PSI’s current liabilities primarily consisted of $19 million of accounts payables, non-current liabilities were $27 thousand lease liabilities.

As of June 30, 2023, PSI had efficient operating cash to cover more than one-month cost of good sales and operating expenses. PSI is a light assets company with less non-current assets and liabilities on balance sheets.

Projections

PSI management prepared certain prospective financial information for June 30, 2023 to December 31, 2027. KKG assumed PSI will operate at stable 3% growth rate from 2028 going forward.

____________

(1) PSI derives revenues primarily from the provision of air and ocean freight forwarding services by purchasing transportation services from direct (asset-based) carriers or other freight forwarders and reselling those services to its customers. The revenue growth projection is mainly driven by internal IT strategy and growth in cross-border e-commerce market, particularly exports from Asia to the U.S. According to PSI’s strategy and forecast, the revenue growth rate is 14.7% to 11.6% from 2023 to 2027.

(2) PSI’s cost of goods sold consists primarily of cargo space charged by airlines, shipping liners or other freight forwarders and ancillary logistics services fee including costs of security, local handling, x-ray screening and warehouse services. According to the historically stable gross margin in the Review Period, PSI forecasted the business would be operated stably in the following years, as well, so PSI’s cost of goods sold will increase in line with the increase of revenue. The gross margin will be 10.3% to 11.2% in the projections.

(3) EBIT equals to the gross profit minus operating expenses, operating expenses include staff costs, office expenses, depreciation and amortization, motor vehicles expenses. PSI is a mature operating company with relatively stable operating expenses. Thus, operating expenses is forecasted based on historical levels in the Review Period and is considered to be 5.4% as of revenue in the forecast period.

(4) EBITDA and EBIT are non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBIT is defined as earnings before interest and taxes. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definition of EBITDA and EBIT may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other issuers, because not all issuers calculate EBITDA and EBIT in the same manner. EBITDA and EBIT are similar and closely related to income from operations which is GAAP measure; however, EBITDA and EBIT should not be considered as an alternative to income from operations or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

(5) Capital expenditures are forecasted to support the business operation and increase, and PSI is a light asset company so has no significant property, plant, and equipment and capital expenditures. Depreciation and amortization are calculated based on the assets’ remaining useful life and the depreciation and amortization accounting policy.

(6) Assumes debt-free net income, and the 16% Hong Kong statutory corporate income tax rate was applied.

(7) The working capital forecast is made based on the historical turnover days in the Review Period as well as PSI management’s account aging policy of working capital accounts.

In addition, PSI management also provided KKG with PSI’s historical financial results for June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. In order to check the reasonability of the projections, KKG examined PSI’s historical growth rates, prospective operating plans, historical gross margin, historical net margin, and conducted an analysis of the industry in which PSI operates and determined that the estimates and PSI’s management’s assumptions can by supported by historical performance and within the industry norms.

Based upon the projections provided by PSI management and assuming that PSI will operate in a steady state after 2028, KKG calculated the net present value of the unlevered, after-tax free cash flows of PSI’s business through 2027, plus the present value of the terminal value of PSI’s business in year 2028.

Furthermore, the summary of the projections included in this proxy statement/prospectus is included solely because such projections were made available by KKG to AIB Board in connection with their presentation of the KKG Opinion described herein, rather than being included to influence your decision whether to vote for the Business Combination.

Table of Contents

The summary above does not purport to be a complete description of the financial analyses reviewed or factors considered by AIB Board, nor does the order of the financial analyses described represent the relative importance or weight given to those financial analyses by AIB Board. AIB Board may have deemed various assumptions more or less probable than other assumptions.

Some of the summaries of the financial analyses above include information presented in tabular format. Considering the data in the tables specified above without considering all financial analyses or factors or the full narrative description of such analyses or factors, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying such analyses or factors, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the processes underlying KKG’s financial analyses and the recommendation of AIB Board.

Discount Rate

In applying the DCF method, KKG determined an 9% discount rate. The discount rate represents an estimate of the rate of return required by shareholders. The rate of return expected from shareholders relates to perceived risk. Risk factors relevant in KKG’s selection of an appropriate discount rate include:

• Interest rate risk, which measures variability of returns, caused by changes in the general level of interest rates.

• Purchasing power risk, which measures loss of purchasing power over time due to inflation.

• Liquidity risk, which measures the ease with which an instrument can be sold at the prevailing market price.

• Market risk, which measures the effects of the general market on the price behavior of securities.

• Business risk, which measures the uncertainty inherent in projections of operating income.

• Exchange rate, which measures the possible influence that changes in exchange rates, might have on the value of the investment.

Considering above risk factors, KKG selected the weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) to calculate the required rate of return of PSI operating assets, which is the discount rate in DCF method. Two components of the WACC calculation are the firm’s required return on equity and firm’s required return on debt. WACC is calculated by multiplying the cost of each capital component by its proportional weight and then summing.

WACC = 54.2%* 13.4%+ 45.8%*5.2%*(1-16%) = 9%

Re =Required return on equity, 13.4% cost of equity introduced specifically below

Rd =Required return on debt, the US debt rate 5.2% from Federal Reserve Bank

E =Market value of the firm’s equity

D =Market value of the firm’s debt, based on comparable companies’ D/E ratio

V =E + D

E/V =Percentage of financing that is equity, based on comparable companies’ median D/E ratio 84.5%

D/V =Percentage of financing that is debt, based on comparable companies’ median D/E ratio 84.5%

Tc =Corporate tax rate 16%

1. Required Return on Equity

KKG has used Capital Assets Pricing Model (the “CAPM”) to estimate the 13.4% required return on equity capital. The CAPM is a fundamental tenet of modern portfolio theory which has been generally accepted basis for marketplace valuations of equity capital. The CAPM technique is widely accepted in the investment and financial analysis communities for the purpose of estimating a company’s required return on equity capital. The equation of CAPM is shown as follow:

Expected Required Return on Equity=Risk Free rate+ Nominal Beta (β) × Risk Premium + ε

The return on equity required of a company represents the total rate of return investors expect to earn, through a combination of dividends and capital appreciation, as a reward for risk taking. The CAPM is used to calculate the required rate of return on equity investment by using publicly-traded companies.

In determining the return on equity, the following parameters have been used:

• 3.81% risk-free rate is the 10-year U.S. government bond yield from Capital IQ database;

• comparable companies’ levered and unlevered beta from Capital IQ database, KKG adopted the median comparable companies’ beta to calculate, 1.1 and 0.67 for median levered and unlevered beta respectively;

• risk premium includes 6% equity risk premium and 3.02% size premium, with reference to Aswath Damodaran and 2022 DP Valuation Handbook – Guide to Cost of Capital Size Premia table; and

• comparable companies’ D/E ratio from Capital IQ database, KKG adopted the median D/E ratio 84.5% to calculate.

Equity Value Calculation

Under income approach, KKG calculated the 100% equity value of PSI is around $200 million.

Market Approach-Comparable Companies Method

Market Approach Multiple

According to the above comparable companies selection, KKG applied the average LTM P/E multiple (34.6x)of comparable companies to the PSI’s LTM net income (US$5.5 million) to determine the PSI’s value under the comparable public companies method of the market approach, as PSI has consistent positive net income to reflect its equity value.

Control Premium

Minority shareholders are often in a passive position in investment, and it is difficult to make contributions to the operation of the company or even make no contributions. Therefore, when the minority equity of private companies is traded, there is usually a discount to the potential net asset value. This reflects the relationship between the lack of control and minority shareholders’ equity. On the contrary, when most shareholders’ equity is traded, there is usually a premium to the net asset value.

The 25% control premium comes from researches and studies by Wind and CVSource database: one study on the U.S. transaction shows that the average acquisition premium is between 35% and 42%; one research on the Chinese transaction shows that the average acquisition premium of logistics industry is around 42%; and another study on the Australian transaction shows that the average acquisition premium is between 16% and 29%. KKG selected 25% as the reasonable control premium of the target company. The acquisition premium not only reflects the premium required for control, but also includes the view on the degree of merger benefits.

Equity Value Calculation

As described above, under the market approach, the result of 100% equity value of PSI is around $236 million.

Conclusion & Opinion

Under income approach, KKG calculated the 100% equity value of PSI is around $200 million. Under market approach, the result of 100% equity value of PSI is around $236 million.

KKG’s analysis provided a fair market valuation of PSI equity value of approximately $200 million, based on the income approach. According to KKG’s analysis, it is KKG’s opinion that the Business Combination is “fair” to shareholders of AIB from a financial perspective.

Disclosure of Prior Relationships

During the two years preceding the date of the KKG Opinion, KKG 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.

Statement Regarding Unaudited Prospective Financial Information of PSI

Neither AIB nor PSI, as a matter of course or general practice, makes public or internal projections as to future sales, earnings or other results. However, PSI management prepared certain prospective financial information solely for use by KKG in connection with the rendering of the KKG Opinion and performing its related financial analyses.

The accompanying prospective financial information was not prepared with a view toward public disclosure or with a view toward complying with the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants with respect to prospective financial information. In addition, the inclusion of projections in this proxy statement/prospectus should not be regarded as an indication that AIB, AIB Board, or their respective affiliates, advisors, representatives, or any other recipient of this information, considered, or now considers, such financial projections to be fact or necessarily to be predictive of actual future results, and these projections should not be relied upon as such. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the projections in making a decision regarding the Business Combination. We will not refer back to the above projections in our future periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act.

The prospective financial information was based on numerous variables and assumptions that were deemed to be reasonable as of the date on which such forecasts were finalized, including, among other things, PSI’s expectations, which may not prove to be accurate, relating to the business, earnings, cash flow, assets, liabilities and prospects of PSI, industry metrics and the regulatory and commercial probability of success and expenses adjusted on the basis thereof. While presented in this proxy statement/prospectus with numeric specificity, the information set forth herein was based on numerous variables and assumptions that are inherently uncertain and may be beyond the control of PSI’s management, including, among other things, the matters described in the sections entitled “Forward-Looking Statements,” “Industry and Market Data” and “Risk Factors.”

Important factors that may affect actual results and cause the results reflected in the prospective financial information not to be achieved include, among other things, risks and uncertainties relating to PSI’s business, industry performance, the regulatory environment, and general business and economic conditions. The prospective financial information also reflects assumptions as to certain business decisions that are subject to change.

The accompanying prospective financial information covers an extended period of time, and this information by its nature becomes subject to greater uncertainty with each successive year. In particular, the below information extends for a period of 5 years, and the risks and uncertainties regarding the prospective financial information, including the potential for adverse development such as additional competition or changes in the competitive or regulatory landscape. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made in preparing the prospective financial information will prove accurate or that any of such prospective information will be realized.

Moreover, the below information is not included to influence your views on the Business Combination and is summarized in this proxy statement/prospectus solely to provide shareholders access to certain non-public information considered by the AIB Board in connection with its evaluation of the merger and provided to KKG to assist with its financial analyses. The information below should be evaluated, if at all, in conjunction with the historical financial statements and other information regarding PSI in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited prospective financial information is subjective in many respects. As a result, there can be no assurance that the prospective results will be realized or that actual results will not be significantly higher or lower than estimated. Since the unaudited prospective financial information covers multiple years, that information by its nature becomes less predictive with each successive year. In addition, various assumptions underlying the forecasts may prove to not have been accurate. The forecasts may not be realized, and actual results may be significantly higher or lower than projected in the forecasts. The forecasts also reflect assumptions as to certain business strategies or plans that are subject to change. As a result, the inclusion of the forecasts in this proxy statement/prospectus should not be relied on as “guidance” or otherwise predictive of actual future events, and actual results may differ materially from the forecasts.

Certain of the measures included in the prospective financial information may be considered non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and non-GAAP financial measures as used by PSI may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts used by other companies.

Accordingly, we have not provided a reconciliation of such financial measures. The financial projections were requested by, and disclosed to, AIB for use as a component in its overall evaluation of PSI and are included in this proxy statement/prospectus on that account.

Inclusion of the prospective financial information in this proxy statement/prospectus should not be regarded as a representation by any of AIB, PSI, Pubco or any other person that the results contained in the prospective financial information will be achieved, and should not be regarded as an indication that AIB, the AIB Board, or their respective affiliates, advisors or other representatives considered, or now considers, such financial projections necessarily to be predictive of actual future results or to support or fail to support your decision whether to vote for or against the Business Combination. You are cautioned not to rely on the projections in making a decision regarding the Business Combination, or any part of the transactions contemplated by it, as the projections may be materially different than actual results. Pubco will not refer back to the financial projections in its future periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act.

Pubco does not expect to generally publish its business plans and strategies or make external disclosures of its anticipated financial position or operating results in the manner provided with respect to PSI to AIB in connection with the Business Combination. Accordingly, Pubco does not intend to update or otherwise revise the projected financial information provided to AIB to reflect circumstances existing since its preparation or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, even in the event that any or all of the underlying assumptions are shown to be in error. Furthermore, Pubco does not intend to update or revise the projected financial information provided to AIB to reflect changes in general economic or industry conditions.

Satisfaction of 80% Test

Nasdaq rules require that AIB’s initial business combination must occur with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the Trust Account (less certain advisory fees to Maxim and taxes payable on interest earned and less any interest earned thereon that is released to AIB for taxes) at the time of AIB’s signing a definitive agreement in connection with its initial business combination. After consideration of the factors identified and discussed in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “— AIB’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination,” including the financial analysis of PSI conducted by AIB and considered in approving the transaction, primarily including a comparison of comparable companies, as well as its review of the fairness opinion, the AIB Board determined that PSI had a fair market value of at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account as of the date that the Business Combination Agreement was executed.

Interests of AIB’s Initial Shareholders and Advisors in the Business Combination

• the fact that the Sponsor paid approximately $0.01 per share, or an aggregate of $25,000, for the 2,156,250 Founder Shares (after a share dividend of 0.5 shares for each AIB Class B Ordinary Shares) initially held by the Sponsor, which will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination, if it is consummated. On October 18, 2023, AIB issued an aggregate of 2,156,249 AIB Class A Ordinary Shares to the Sponsor upon the Conversion of an equal number of AIB Class B Ordinary Shares, held by the Sponsor. Based on the closing sales price of AIB Class A Ordinary Shares on May 22, 2024, the aggregate value of the AIB Class A Ordinary Shares and AIB Class B Ordinary Shares held by the Sponsor as of the same date was approximately $24,861,563. If AIB does not consummate the Business Combination or another initial business combination by January 21, 2025 (or a later date, if the deadline for AIB to complete its initial business combination is extended by an amendment to the Current Charter), and AIB is therefore required to be liquidated, these shares would be worthless, as the Founder Shares are not entitled to participate in any redemption or liquidation of the Trust Account. Based on the difference in the purchase price of approximately $0.01 per share that the Sponsor paid for the Founder Shares, as compared to the purchase price of $10.00 per AIB Unit sold in the IPO, the Sponsor may earn a positive rate of return even if the share price of Pubco after the Closing falls below the price initially paid for the AIB Units in the IPO and the Public Shareholders experience a negative rate of return following the Closing;

AIB. However, if AIB fails to consummate a business combination by January 21, 2025 (or a later date, if the deadline for AIB to complete its initial business combination is extended by an amendment to the Current Charter), AIB’s officers, directors and their affiliates will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. Accordingly, AIB may not be able to reimburse these expenses, if any, if the Business Combination or another business combination is not completed by such date;

• the fact that, if AIB is unable to consummate the Business Combination or another initial business combination by January 21, 2025, unless the time period to consummate AIB’s initial business combination is extended pursuant to the Current Charter, Maxim or its designee will not be entitled to receive 301,875 Deferred Underwriting Shares that Maxim is entitled to received, pursuant to a December 21, 2023 amendment to the Underwriting Agreement, in lieu of the $3,018,750 deferred underwriting fees payable is contingent upon the consummation of an initial business combination pursuant to the original Underwriting Agreement. The Deferred Underwriting Shares will be issued to Maxim or its designee solely in the event that AIB completes an initial business combination, subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, as amended;

• the fact that Maxim is serving as AIB’s sole M&A advisor for AIB’s Business Combination with PSI. In addition to the Deferred Underwriting Shares, Maxim will also be entitled to receive Pubco Ordinary Shares as payment for its advisory services, which is equivalent to 1.0% of the equity value of the PSI, with unlimited piggyback registration rights and the same rights afforded other holders of the Pubco Ordinary Shares issued in the Business Combination;

Anticipated Accounting Treatment

The Business Combination is made up of the series of transactions provided for in the Business Combination Agreement as described elsewhere within this proxy statement/prospectus. The Business Combination will be accounted for as a capital reorganization. Under this method of accounting, Pubco will be treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of PSI issuing shares at the Closing for the net assets of AIB as of the Closing Date, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of AIB will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded and operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of PSI. PSI has been determined to be the accounting acquiror for purposes of the Business Combination based on an evaluation of the following facts and circumstances. Notwithstanding the legal form, the Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP:

• PSI’s operations prior to the Business Combination will comprise the ongoing operations of Pubco;

• PSI’s existing senior management team will comprise all or majority of the senior management team of Pubco; and

• Yee Kit Chan is expected to have a majority of the voting power of Pubco.

MATERIAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

This section describes the material U.S. federal income tax considerations for beneficial owners of AIB Ordinary Shares (i) electing to have their AIB Ordinary Shares redeemed for cash if the Business Combination is completed, (ii) of the Business Combination and (iii) of the ownership and disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares acquired pursuant to the Business Combination. This discussion applies only to AIB Ordinary Shares or Pubco Ordinary Shares held as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes (generally, property held for investment) and does not apply to any other securities of AIB including AIB Rights. In addition, this section does not discuss all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that might be relevant to holders in light of their particular circumstances or status or holders who are subject to special rules, including:

• brokers, dealers and other investors that do not own their Pubco Ordinary Shares as capital assets;

• traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings;

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

• banks or other financial institutions, underwriters, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts or regulated investment companies;

• U.S. expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States;

• persons that own (directly, indirectly, or by attribution) 5% or more (by vote or value) of the AIB Ordinary Shares or Pubco Ordinary Shares;

• partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or beneficial owners of such partnerships or other pass-through entities;

• persons holding Pubco Ordinary Shares as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction, constructive sale, or other arrangement involving more than one position;

• persons required to accelerate the recognition of any item of gross income with respect to Pubco Ordinary Shares as a result of such income being recognized on an applicable financial statement;

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

• persons that received Pubco Ordinary Shares as compensation for services;

• the Sponsor and any beneficial owners of the Sponsor; or

• controlled foreign corporations or passive foreign investment companies.

This discussion is based on the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code (the “Treasury Regulations”), published rulings by the IRS and court decisions, all as of the date hereof. These laws are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. This discussion is necessarily general and does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation, including the effect of the U.S. federal alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code, U.S. federal estate and gift tax, the Medicare tax on net investment income, or any state, local or non-U.S. tax laws to a holder of AIB Ordinary Shares or Pubco Ordinary Shares. We have not and do not intend to seek any rulings from the IRS regarding the Business Combination. There is no assurance that the IRS will not take positions concerning the tax consequences of the Business Combination that are different from those discussed below, or that any such different positions would not be sustained by a court.

ALL HOLDERS OF AIB ORDINARY SHARES SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION AND CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF PUBCO ORDINARY SHARES, INCLUDING THE EFFECTS OF U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX LAWS.

Table of Contents

U.S. Holders

This section applies to you if you are a “U.S. holder”. For purposes of this discussion, a U.S. holder means a holder of AIB Ordinary Shares or Pubco Ordinary Shares 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 taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

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

• a trust if (1) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S. persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust; or (2) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

The Business Combination

Tax Consequences of the Business Combination

This section is subject to the discussion below under “— Application of the Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules to the Transactions.” U.S. holders of AIB Ordinary Shares should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences that will apply if AIB is a PFIC, including any available elections that may be available with respect to such PFIC status.

It is the opinion of AIB’s counsel, Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP, that the Second Merger, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, will qualify as an exchange described in Section 351(a) of the Code. However, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not successfully challenge this position, and if so then the exchange of AIB Ordinary Shares for Pubco Ordinary Shares will be a taxable exchange, and the tax consequences described herein will be materially different from those described below. The remainder of this discussion assumes that the transactions described above qualify as an exchange described in Section 351(a) of the Code. In rendering this opinion, counsel may require and rely upon representations contained in letters and certificates to be received from AIB and PSI. If the letters or certificates are incorrect, the conclusions reached in the tax opinion could be jeopardized. In addition, the opinion will be subject to certain qualifications and limitations as set forth therein. Assuming such qualification as an exchange described in Section 351(a) of the Code, a U.S. holder that receives Pubco Ordinary Shares in exchange for AIB Ordinary Shares in the Second Merger will not recognize any gain or loss on such exchange. In such case, the aggregate adjusted tax basis of the Pubco Ordinary Shares received in the Second Merger by a U.S. holder will be equal to the adjusted tax basis of the AIB Ordinary Shares exchanged therefor. The holding period of the Pubco Ordinary Shares received in the Business Combination will include the holding period during which the AIB Ordinary Shares exchanged therefor were held by such U.S. holder.

Application of the Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules to the Transactions

Based upon the composition of its income and assets, AIB believes that that it would likely be considered a PFIC for its current taxable year which ends as a result of the Business Combination.

Section 1291(f) of the Code requires that, to the extent provided in Treasury Regulations, a U.S. person who disposes of stock of a PFIC recognizes gain notwithstanding any other provision of the Code. No final Treasury Regulations are currently in effect under Section 1291(f) of the Code. However, proposed Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code have been promulgated with a retroactive effective date. If finalized in their current form, those proposed Treasury Regulations may require gain recognition to U.S. holders of AIB Ordinary Shares in connection with the Business Combination if:

(1) AIB were classified as a PFIC at any time during such U.S. holder’s holding period for such AIB Ordinary Shares; and

(2) the U.S. holder had not timely made and maintained, effective from the first taxable year of its holding period of AIB Ordinary Shares during which AIB qualified as a PFIC: (a) a valid election to treat AIB as a “qualified electing fund” under Section 1295 of the Code (a “QEF election”), or (b) a valid “mark-to-market election” under Section 1296 of the Code, with respect to such AIB Ordinary Shares.

145

Table of Contents

The tax on any such recognized gain would be imposed based on the “excess distribution” rules, discussed below under “— Ownership and Disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares by U.S. Holders — Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules.”

It is difficult to predict whether, in what form and with what effective date, final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code will be adopted. Additionally, the treatment of U.S. holders of AIB Ordinary Shares who exchange their AIB Ordinary Shares for Pubco Ordinary Shares could be materially different from that described above if Pubco is treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes (see discussion below under “— Ownership and Disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares by U.S. Holders — Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules”). Therefore, U.S. holders of AIB Ordinary Shares that have not made a timely QEF election or a mark-to-market election may, pursuant to the proposed Treasury Regulations described above, be subject to taxation under the PFIC rules on the Business Combination to the extent their AIB Ordinary Shares have a fair market value in excess of their tax basis therein.

THE RULES DEALING WITH PFICS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION ARE VERY COMPLEX AND ARE IMPACTED BY VARIOUS FACTORS. ALL U.S. HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE PFIC RULES, AND WHETHER A QEF ELECTION, A MARK-TO-MARKET ELECTION OR ANY OTHER ELECTION IS AVAILABLE AND THE CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF ANY SUCH ELECTION, AND THE IMPACT OF ANY PROPOSED OR FINAL PFIC TREASURY REGULATIONS.

Redemption of AIB Ordinary Shares

This section is subject to the discussion under “— Application of the Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules to the Transactions,” which will generally apply to any redemption of AIB Ordinary Shares by U.S. holders. U.S. holders of AIB Ordinary Shares should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences that will apply if AIB is a PFIC, including any available elections that may be available with respect to such PFIC status.

In the event that a U.S. holder of AIB Ordinary Shares exercises such holder’s right to have such holder’s AIB Ordinary Shares redeemed pursuant to the redemption provisions described herein, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such U.S. holder will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale or exchange of such stock pursuant to Section 302 of the Code or whether the U.S. holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution pursuant to Section 301 of the Code. Whether that redemption qualifies for sale or exchange treatment will depend largely on the total number of shares of AIB Ordinary Shares treated as held by the U.S. holder (including any stock constructively owned by the U.S. holder as a result of, among other things, owning AIB Rights) relative to all of shares of AIB Ordinary Shares both before and after the redemption. The redemption of stock generally will be treated as a sale or exchange of the stock (rather than as a corporate distribution) if the redemption is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the U.S. holder, results in a “complete termination” of the U.S. holder’s interest in AIB or 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 stock actually owned by the U.S. holder, but also shares of AIB Ordinary Shares that are constructively owned by such U.S. holder. 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 could include ordinary shares that could be acquired pursuant to the AIB Rights. In order to meet the substantially disproportionate test, the percentage of AIB’s outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. holder immediately following the redemption of AIB Ordinary Shares must, among other requirements, be less than 80% of the percentage of AIB’s outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. holder immediately before the redemption. There will be a complete termination of a U.S. holder’s interest if either all the AIB Ordinary Shares actually and constructively owned by the U.S. holder are redeemed or all the AIB 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 AIB stock owned by certain family members and the U.S. holder does not constructively own any other AIB stock. A U.S. holder’s redemption of AIB Ordinary Shares will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if such U.S. holder’s redemption results in a “meaningful reduction” of the U.S. holder’s proportionate interest in AIB. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a U.S. holder’s proportionate interest in AIB will depend on the particular facts and

146

Table of Contents

circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority stockholder 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 of AIB Ordinary Shares.

If a U.S. holder’s redemption of AIB Ordinary Shares qualifies as a sale or exchange of stock by such U.S. holder under Section 302 of the Code, such U.S. holder generally will be required to recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of cash received and the tax basis of the AIB Ordinary Shares redeemed. Such gain or loss should be treated as capital gain or loss if such shares were held as a capital asset on the date of the redemption. A U.S. holder’s tax basis in such holder’s shares of AIB Ordinary Shares generally will equal the cost of such shares. A U.S. holder that purchased AIB Units would have been required to allocate the cost between the AIB Ordinary Shares and the AIB Rights comprising the AIB Units based on their relative fair market values at the time of the purchase. A non-corporate U.S. holder, including an individual, who has held the AIB Ordinary Shares for more than one year generally will be eligible for reduced tax rates for such long-term capital gains. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

If a U.S. holder’s redemption of AIB Ordinary Shares does not qualify as a sale or exchange of stock under Section 302 of the Code, then such U.S. holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution under Section 301 of the Code. Such distribution generally will constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from AIB’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 such U.S. holder’s AIB Ordinary Shares. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the AIB Ordinary Shares. Special rules apply to dividends received by U.S. holders that are taxable corporations. After the application of the foregoing rules, any remaining tax basis of the U.S. holder in the redeemed AIB Ordinary Shares will be added to the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its remaining AIB Ordinary Shares, or, to the basis of AIB Ordinary Shares constructively owned by such holder if the stock actually owned by the holder is completely redeemed.

Ownership and Disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares by U.S. Holders

Distributions on Pubco Ordinary Shares

This section is subject to further discussion under “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules” below.

Distributions paid by Pubco out of current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) generally will be taxable to a U.S. holder as dividend income. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S. holder’s basis in the Pubco Ordinary Shares and thereafter as capital gain. However, Pubco does not intend to maintain calculations of its earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax accounting principles. U.S. holders should therefore assume that any distribution by Pubco with respect to its shares will be treated as ordinary dividend income. Such dividends will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to U.S. corporations with respect to dividends received from other U.S. corporations. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisers with respect to the appropriate U.S. federal income tax treatment of any distribution received from Pubco.

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 if the Pubco Ordinary Shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. There can be no assurance that Pubco Ordinary Shares will be considered “readily tradable” on an established securities market in future years. Non-corporate U.S. holders that do not meet a minimum holding period requirement during which they are not protected from the risk of loss 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 the positions in substantially similar or related property. This disallowance applies even if the minimum holding period has been met. Pubco will not constitute a qualified foreign corporation for purposes of these rules if it is a PFIC for

147

Table of Contents

the taxable year in which it pays a dividend or for the preceding taxable year. See discussion below under “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules.” U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the lower rate for dividends paid with respect to Pubco Ordinary Shares.

Subject to certain exceptions, dividends on Pubco Ordinary Shares will generally constitute foreign source income for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. If such dividends are qualified dividend income (as discussed above), the amount of the dividend taken into account for purposes of calculating the foreign tax credit limitation will be limited to the gross amount of the dividend, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the reduced rate applicable to qualified dividend income and the denominator of which is the highest rate of tax normally applicable to dividends. The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income. For this purpose, dividends distributed by Pubco with respect to the Pubco Ordinary Shares generally will constitute “passive category income” but could, in the case of certain U.S. holders, constitute “general category income.”

Sale, Exchange, Redemption or Other Taxable Disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares

This section is subject to further discussion under “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules,” below.

A U.S. holder generally would recognize gain or loss on any sale, exchange, redemption or other taxable disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount realized on the disposition and (ii) such U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in such Pubco Ordinary Shares. Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder on a taxable disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares generally will be capital gain or loss. A non-corporate U.S. holder, including an individual, who has held the Pubco Ordinary Shares for more than one year generally will be eligible for reduced tax rates for such long-term capital gains. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any such gain or loss recognized generally will be treated as U.S. source gain or loss. In the event any non-U.S. tax (including withholding tax) is imposed upon such sale or other disposition, a U.S. holder’s ability to claim a foreign tax credit for such non-U.S. tax is subject to various limitations and restrictions. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the ability to claim a foreign tax credit.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

Generally. The treatment of U.S. holders of the Pubco Ordinary Shares could be materially different from that described above if Pubco is treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A PFIC is any non-U.S. corporation with respect to which either: (i) 75% or more of the gross income for a taxable year constitutes passive income for purposes of the PFIC rules (the “PFIC income test”), or (ii) more than 50% of such foreign corporation’s assets in any taxable year (generally based on the quarterly average of the value of its assets during such year) is attributable to assets, including cash, that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income (the “PFIC asset test”). Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, certain royalties and rents, annuities, net gains from the sale or exchange of property producing such income and net foreign currency gains. The determination of whether a foreign corporation is a PFIC is based upon the composition of such foreign corporation’s income and assets (including, among others, its proportionate share of the income and assets of any other corporation in which it owns, directly or indirectly, 25% (by value) of the stock), and the nature of such non-U.S. corporation’s activities. A separate determination must be made after the close of each taxable year as to whether a non-U.S. corporation was a PFIC for that year. Once a non-U.S. corporation qualifies as a PFIC it is, with respect to a shareholder during the time it qualifies as a PFIC, always treated as a PFIC with respect to such shareholder, regardless of whether it satisfied either of the qualification tests in subsequent years (unless the U.S. holder makes a deemed sale election with respect to the Pubco Ordinary Shares once Pubco ceases to satisfy either of the qualification tests).

Pubco’s possible status as a PFIC must be determined annually after the close of each taxable year. This determination will depend on the composition of Pubco’s income and assets, and the fair market value of its assets from time to time, including its unbooked goodwill, which may be determined by reference to Pubco’s share price (which could fluctuate significantly). In addition, Pubco’s possible status as a PFIC will also depend on the application of complex statutory and regulatory rules that are subject to potentially varying or changing interpretations. Because Pubco may value its goodwill based on the market for the Pubco Ordinary Shares, a decrease in the price of its shares may also result in Pubco becoming a PFIC. The composition of Pubco’s assets will also be affected if Pubco holds

148

Table of Contents

significant cash balances. The application of the PFIC rules a factual determination made on a yearly basis and is subject to uncertainty in several respects and, therefore, no assurances can be provided that the IRS will not assert that Pubco is a PFIC for the taxable year that includes the date of the Business Combination or in a future year.

If Pubco is or becomes a PFIC during any year in which a U.S. holder holds Pubco Ordinary Shares, there are three separate taxation regimes that could apply to such U.S. holder under the PFIC rules, which are the (i) excess distribution regime (which is the default regime), (ii) QEF regime, and (iii) mark-to-market regime. A U.S. holder who holds (actually or constructively) stock in a non-U.S. corporation during any year in which such corporation qualifies as a PFIC is subject to U.S. federal income taxation under one of these three regimes. The effect of the PFIC rules on a U.S. holder will depend upon which of these regimes applies to such U.S. holder. However, dividends paid by a PFIC are generally not eligible for the lower rates of taxation applicable to qualified dividend income (“QDI”) under any of the foregoing regimes.

Excess Distribution Regime. If you do not make a QEF election or a mark-to-market election, as described below, you will be subject to the default “excess distribution regime” under the PFIC rules with respect to (i) any gain realized on a sale or other disposition (including a redemption or pledge) of your Pubco Ordinary Shares, and (ii) any “excess distribution” you receive on your Pubco Ordinary Shares (generally, any distributions in excess of 125% of the average of the annual distributions on Pubco Ordinary Shares during the preceding three years or your holding period, whichever is shorter). Generally, under this excess distribution regime:

(a) the gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the period during which you held your Pubco Ordinary Shares;

(b) the amount allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable year prior to the first taxable year in which Pubco is a PFIC, will be taxed as ordinary income; and

(c) the amount allocated to each of the other taxable years will be subject to the highest tax rate in effect for that taxable year and the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the resulting tax attributable to each such year.

The tax liability for amounts allocated to years prior to the year of disposition or excess distribution will be payable generally without regard to offsets from deductions, losses and expenses. In addition, gains (but not losses) realized on the sale of your Pubco Ordinary Shares cannot be treated as capital gains, even if you hold the shares as capital assets. Further, no portion of any distribution will be treated as QDI.

If Pubco is treated as a PFIC and, at any time, has a non-U.S. subsidiary that is classified as a PFIC, a U.S. holder 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 Pubco (or a subsidiary of Pubco) receives a distribution from, or disposes of all or part of its interest in, the lower-tier PFIC or the U.S. holders otherwise were deemed to have disposed of an interest in the lower-tier PFIC. U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the tax issues raised by lower-tier PFICs.

QEF Regime. If Pubco is a PFIC, a U.S. holder of Pubco Ordinary Shares may avoid taxation under the excess distribution rules described above by making a QEF election. However, a U.S. holder may make a QEF election with respect to its Pubco Ordinary Shares only if Pubco provides U.S. holders on an annual basis with certain financial information specified under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations. Since Pubco has not committed to provide U.S. holders with such information on an annual basis, U.S. holders should not expect to be able to make a QEF election with respect to the Pubco Ordinary Shares.

Mark-to-Market Regime. Alternatively, a U.S. holder of Pubco Ordinary Shares may also avoid taxation under the excess distribution rules by making a mark-to-market election. The mark-to-market election is available only for “marketable stock,” which is stock that is regularly traded on a qualified exchange or other market, as defined in applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations. The Pubco Ordinary Shares, which are expected to be listed on the Nasdaq, are expected to qualify as marketable stock for purposes of the PFIC rules, but there can be no assurance that they will be “regularly traded” for purposes of these rules. If a U.S. holder makes a valid mark-to-market election with respect to its Pubco Ordinary Shares, such U.S. holder will include as ordinary income each year, the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Pubco Ordinary Shares at the end of the taxable year over the U.S. holders adjusted basis in the Pubco Ordinary Shares. Such U.S. holder will also be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of such holder’s adjusted basis in the Pubco Ordinary Shares over the fair market value of such Pubco Ordinary

149

Table of Contents

Shares at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the mark-to-market election). The U.S. holder’s basis in the Pubco Ordinary Shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. Any gain that is recognized on the sale or other taxable disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares would be ordinary income and any loss would be an ordinary loss to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the mark-to-market election and, thereafter, a capital loss. A mark-to-market election cannot be made for any lower-tier PFICs. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the application of the PFIC rules to their indirect ownership of shares in any lower-tier PFICs.

PFIC Reporting Requirements. A U.S. holder who owns, or who is treated as owning, PFIC stock during any taxable year in which Pubco is classified as a PFIC may be required to file IRS Form 8621. U.S. holders of Pubco Ordinary Shares should consult their tax advisors regarding the requirement to file IRS Form 8621 and the potential application of the PFIC regime.

Additional Reporting Requirements

Certain U.S. holders holding specified foreign financial assets with an aggregate value in excess of an applicable dollar threshold are required to report information to the IRS relating to Pubco Ordinary Shares, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for Pubco Ordinary Shares held in an account maintained with a U.S. financial institution), 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 Ordinary Shares. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of these rules on the ownership and disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares.

Non-U.S. Holders

The section applies to you if you are a non-U.S. holder. For purposes of this discussion, a non-U.S. holder means a beneficial owner (other than a partnership or an entity or arrangement so characterized for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of Pubco Ordinary Shares that is not a U.S. holder, including:

1. a nonresident alien individual, other than certain former citizens and residents of the United States;

2. a foreign corporation; or

3. a foreign estate or trust;

but generally does not include an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition.

Non-U.S. Holders Exercising Redemption Rights with Respect to AIB Ordinary Shares

The characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of the redemption of a Non-U.S. holder’s AIB Ordinary Shares generally will correspond to the U.S. federal income tax characterization of such a redemption of a U.S. holder’s AIB Ordinary Shares, as described above under “U.S. Holders — Redemption of AIB Ordinary Shares.” Any redeeming Non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain recognized as a result of the redemption or be able to utilize a loss in computing such Non-U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability unless one of the exceptions described below under “— Ownership and Disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares by Non-U.S. Holders” applies in respect of such gain or loss.

Ownership and Disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares by Non-U.S. Holders

A non-U.S. holder of Pubco Ordinary Shares will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax or, subject to the discussion below under “— Information Reporting and Backup Withholding,” U.S. federal withholding tax on any dividends received on Pubco Ordinary Shares or any gain recognized on a sale or other disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares (including, any distribution to the extent it exceeds the adjusted basis in the non-U.S. holder’s Pubco Ordinary Shares) unless the dividend or gain is effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States, and if required by an applicable tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the non-U.S. holder in the United States. In addition, special rules may apply to a non-U.S. holder that is an individual present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year of the sale or disposition, and certain other requirements are met. Such holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the sale or disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares.

Table of Contents

Dividends and gains that are effectively connected with a non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States) generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the same regular U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to a comparable U.S. holder and, in the case of a non-U.S. holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, also may be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Information reporting requirements may apply to cash received in redemption of AIB Ordinary Shares, dividends received by U.S. holders of Pubco Ordinary Shares, and the proceeds received on the disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares 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). Backup withholding 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 of the U.S. holder’s broker) or is otherwise subject to backup withholding. Any redemptions treated as dividend payments with respect to AIB Ordinary Shares and proceeds from the sale, exchange, redemption or other disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares may be subject to information reporting to the IRS and possible U.S. backup withholding. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the U.S. information reporting and backup withholding rules.

Information returns may be filed with the IRS in connection with, and non-U.S. holders may be subject to backup withholding on amounts received in respect of their Pubco Ordinary Shares, unless the non-U.S. holder furnishes to the applicable withholding agent the required certification as to its non-U.S. status, such as by providing a valid IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8ECI, as applicable, or the non-U.S. holder otherwise establishes an exemption. Dividends paid with respect to Pubco Ordinary Shares and proceeds from the sale of other disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares received in the United States by a non-U.S. holder through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding unless such non-U.S. holder provides proof of an applicable exemption or complies with certain certification procedures described above, and otherwise complies with the applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against the U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, and a U.S. holder may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by timely filing the appropriate claim for a refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Introduction

Pubco is providing the following selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to aid you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the transactions.

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 gives pro forma effect to the Transactions as if they had been consummated as of that date. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 give pro forma effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred as of the beginning of the earliest period presented. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet is presented as of December 31, 2023 and the unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations are presented for the year ended December 31, 2023.

This information should be read together with PSI’s and AIB’s audited financial statements and related notes, “PSI’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “AIB’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 unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 has been prepared using the following:

• PSI’s audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, as included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus,

• AIB’s audited balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, as included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, and,

The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 has been prepared using the following:

• PSI’s audited consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2023, as included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, and

• AIB’s audited statement of loss for the year ended December 31, 2023, as included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Description of the Transactions

On December 27, 2023, AIB and PSI announced the execution of the Business Combination Agreement providing for the Business Combination of AIB and PSI. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, (a) PSI Merger Sub I will merge with and into PSI (the “First Merger”), with PSI surviving the First Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco and the outstanding shares of PSI being converted into the right to receive shares of Pubco; and (b) one (1) business day following, and as a part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, PSI Merger Sub II will merge with and into AIB (the “Second Merger”), with AIB surviving the Second Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco and the outstanding securities of AIB being converted into the right to receive securities of Pubco.

The Business Combination values PSI at a total pre-money enterprise value of approximately US$200 million. Upon closing of the proposed Business Combination, both AIB and PSI will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of Pubco, and Pubco will be the combined company and expects to list its securities on the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Accounting for the Transactions

The Transactions will be accounted for as a reverse merger in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, AIB will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on PSI shareholders expecting to have a majority of the voting power of the combined company, PSI comprising the ongoing operations of the combined entity, PSI comprising a majority of the governing body of the combined company, and PSI’s senior management comprising the senior management of the combined company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Transactions will be treated as the equivalent of PSI issuing shares for the net assets of AIB, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of AIB will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Transactions will be those of PSI.

Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The historical financial information has been adjusted to give pro forma effect to events that are related and/or directly attributable to the Transactions, are factually supportable and are expected to have a continuing impact on the results of the combined company. The adjustments presented on the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an accurate understanding of the combined company upon consummation of the Transaction.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is for illustrative purposes only. The financial results may have been different had the companies always been combined. You should not rely on the unaudited pro forma combined financial information as being indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved had the companies always been combined or the future results that the combined company will experience. PSI and AIB have not had any historical relationship prior to the Transactions. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

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

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been prepared assuming two alternative levels of redemption into cash of AIB’s ordinary shares:

• Scenario 1 — Assuming no other AIB shareholders exercise their redemption rights, remaining AIB shares previously subject to redemption for cash amounting to approximately $11.3 million would be transferred to shareholders’ equity; and

• Scenario 2 — Assuming 100% of AIB’s 984,801 shares are redeemed for cash by AIB shareholders, cash required at approximately $11.3 million would be paid out in cash.

Included in the shares outstanding and weighted average shares outstanding as presented in the pro forma combined financial statements are (i) approximately 20,000,000 Pubco Ordinary Shares to be issued to the Seller, based on the price of $10.00 per share; (ii) 301,875 ordinary shares to be issued to the underwriter to settle the deferred underwriting fees; (iii) 200,000 ordinary shares to be issued to the underwriter as buy-side advisory service fees; and (iv) 200,000 ordinary shares to be issued to PSI’s financial advisor as service fee.

The pro forma combined financial statements do not take into consideration (i) Pubco securities to be issued in connection with the Transaction Financings or (ii) securities to be issued or surrendered to make up for the Excess SPAC Expenses or dilutions caused by certain Transaction Financings.

Upon the completion of the Transactions, assuming, among other things, that no Public Shareholder exercises redemption rights, AIB Public Shareholders, the Sponsor and other AIB Initial Shareholders, and the Seller will own approximately 7.3%, 13.4% and 79.3% of the outstanding shares of Pubco, respectively, with such percentages calculated assuming that the Sellers and their affiliates receive approximately 20,000,000 Pubco Ordinary Shares, derived from the shares outstanding and weighted average shares outstanding as presented in the pro forma combined financial statements.

If 984,801 AIB Ordinary Shares are ultimately redeemed, Public Shareholders, the Sponsor and other AIB Initial Shareholders and the Seller are expected to own approximately 3.6%, 13.9% and 82.5%, respectively, of the Pubco Ordinary Shares. As such, AIB shareholders who do not redeem their AIB Ordinary Shares will experience immediate and material dilution following the consummation of the Transactions.

Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet Adjustments

The pro forma adjustment to the unaudited combined pro forma balance sheet consists of the following:

A. Derived from the audited balance sheet of AIB as of December 31, 2023.

B. Derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of PSI as of December 31, 2023.

a. Reflects the release of cash from cash and investment held in the Trust Account.

b. In Scenario 1, which assumes that no AIB shareholders exercise their redemption rights, the AIB shares previously subject to redemption for cash amounting to approximately $11.3 million would be transferred to shareholders’ equity.

In Scenario 2, which assumes the same facts as described in Scenario 1 above, but also assumes that the maximum number of AIB shares at 984,801 are redeemed for cash by AIB shareholders, cash required at approximately $11.3 million would be paid out in cash.

c. Reflects the settlement of approximately $3.0 million of deferred underwriting commission incurred during the AIB IPO due upon completion of the business combination, by issuance of 301,875 ordinary shares at price of $10.00 per share.

d. Reflects (i) estimated cash payments of professional expenses of approximately $2.0 million related to the Business Combination, among which approximately $1.9 million was deducted against additional paid-in capital, and $0.1 million was charged to income statements. The professional expenses were comprised of legal expenses, financial advisory expenses, audit expenses, fairness opinion expenses and other service fees; and (ii) issuance of 200,000 and 200,000 ordinary shares to the buy-side advisor and PSI’s financial advisor, respectively, as service fee, both of which were offering costs deducted against additional paid-in capital.

e. Reflects recapitalization of PSI through issuance of AIB Ordinary Shares (including upon conversion of AIB Rights) and eliminates AIB historical accumulated earnings.

f. Reflects the grant of options to purchase 1,694,000 Pubco Ordinary Shares. Subject to the effectiveness of the 2024 Plan, 2,420,000 options will be granted to certain directors and employees of PSI on the Closing Date, 70% of which will be vested on the Closing Date. The grant date fair value of these options was referred to the closing market price of $11.49 per share on December 29, 2023.

Notes and adjustment to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations

The notes and pro forma adjustments to the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statements of operations consist of the following:

A. Derived from AIB’s audited statement of loss for the year ended December 31, 2023.

B. Derived from PSI’s audited statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2023.

a) Represents an adjustment to eliminate interest income related to cash and investment held in Trust Account.

b) Reflects the vesting of options to purchase an aggregate of 1,694,000 Pubco Ordinary Shares. Subject to the effectiveness of the 2024 Plan, 2,420,000 options will be granted to certain directors and employees of PSI on the Closing Date, 70% of which will be vested on the Closing Date. The grant date fair value of the option was referred to the closing market price of $10.23 per share on January 3, 2023.

c) The calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the initial public offering occurred as of the earliest period presented. In addition, as the Transactions are being reflected as if it had occurred on this date, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the shares have been outstanding for the entire period presented. This calculation is retroactively adjusted to eliminate the number of shares redeemed in the Transactions for the entire period.

The calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2023, assuming no redemption into cash, is set forth in below table:

	Assuming No Redemptions into Cash		Assuming Maximum Redemptions into Cash
The Seller	20,000,000		20,000,000
AIB’s Public Shareholders	1,847,301		862,500

Pubco was initially incorporated with an aggregate share capital of $50,000 divided into 500,000,000 ordinary shares of a par value of $0.0001 per share, and one (1) such share was issued and outstanding at incorporation. At incorporation, its assets consisted of the par value contributed for its sole outstanding share. For descriptions of Pubco Ordinary Shares, see “Description of Pubco Securities.”

Pubco’s corporate purpose is unrestricted and Pubco has the full power and authority to carry out any object not prohibited by the Cayman Companies Act or any other law of the Cayman Islands.

Pubco will, immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination, qualify as a foreign private issuer as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act.

Emerging Growth Company and Foreign Private Issuer Exemption

Pubco will, immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination, be an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. Pubco will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest to occur of (i) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the Closing, (b) in which Pubco has total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion or (c) in which Pubco is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of Pubco Ordinary Shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of Pubco’s prior second fiscal quarter, and (ii) the date on which Pubco issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period. Pubco intends to take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to most other public companies, whether or not they are classified as “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, an exemption from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that Pubco’s independent registered public accounting firm provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.

Even after Pubco no longer qualifies as an “emerging growth company,” as long as Pubco continues to qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, Pubco will be exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies, including, but not limited to, the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act; the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their stock ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time; and the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specified information, and current reports on Form 8-K, upon the occurrence of specified significant events. In addition, Pubco will not be required to file annual reports and financial statements with the SEC as promptly as U.S. domestic companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act, and are not required to comply with Regulation FD, which restricts the selective disclosure of material information.

INFORMATION RELATED TO AIB

Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references in this section to “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company” and other similar terms refer to AIB and its consolidated subsidiaries before the Business Combination.

Introduction

AIB is a blank check company incorporated on June 18, 2021 as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting an initial business combination.

Significant Activities Since Inception

On January 21, 2022, AIB consummated its IPO of 8,625,000 Units, including 1,125,000 Units issued to the underwriters upon the full exercise of the over-allotment option, generating gross proceeds of $86,250,000. Each Unit consists of one AIB Class A Ordinary Shares, and one AIB Public Right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one Class A Ordinary Share upon the consummation of an initial business combination, with every ten (10) rights entitling the holder thereof to receive one Class A Ordinary Share at the Closing.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, AIB consummated the sale of 388,750 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement to the Sponsor and Maxim, generating gross proceeds of $3,887,500.

Offering costs for the AIB IPO (including the overallotment units) amounted to $5,941,695, consisting of $1,725,000 of underwriting fees, $3,018,750 of deferred underwriting fees payable (which are held in the Trust Account), $56,000 for the underwriter’s Unit Purchase Option, $598,000 for the issuance of Representative Shares to the underwriters and $543,945 of other costs. The $3,018,750 of deferred underwriting fees payable is contingent upon the consummation of a business combination, subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement. On December 21, 2023, AIB and Maxim entered into an amendment to the Underwriting Agreement, pursuant to which, the $3,018,750 will be payable to Maxim in 301,875 Deferred Underwriting Shares of the surviving publicly trading company, instead of in cash.

Following the closing of the IPO on January 21, 2022, an amount of $87,112,500 ($10.10 per unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units was placed in the Trust Account and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 180 days or less, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by AIB, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a business combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below. On February 6, 2024, AIB instructed the trustee to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in an interest bearing demand deposit account until the earlier of the consummation of its initial business combination or its liquidation.

Extension of Time to Complete a Business Combination

AIB’s charter initially provided that AIB had until January 21, 2023 to complete its initial business combination.

On January 18, 2023, AIB held an extraordinary general meeting (the “January 2023 Extension Meeting”) at which its shareholders approved, among other things, amendments to its Current Charter to (i) extend the date by which we must consummate an initial business combination from January 21, 2023 to October 21, 2023, and (ii) to permit the AIB Board, in its sole discretion, to elect to wind up our operations on an earlier date than October 21, 2023 (the “January 2023 Extension”). In connection with the January 2023 Extension Meeting, shareholders holding 7,623,698 Class A Ordinary Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account. As a result of the January 2023 Extension redemption, an aggregate amount of $78,324,476 (approximately $10.27 per share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders.

In connection with the January 2023 Extension, the Sponsor agreed to deposit $50,000 per month into the Trust Account, which equates to approximately $0.05 per remaining Public Share, for each calendar month (commencing on January 21, 2023 and on the 21st day of each subsequent month) until October 21, 2023, or portion thereof, that is needed to complete an initial business combination, for up to an aggregate of $450,000.

Table of Contents

On October 19, 2023, AIB held an extraordinary general meeting in lieu of an annual meeting of shareholders (the “October 2023 Extension Meeting”) at which its shareholders approved, among other things, amendments to its Current Charter to extend the date by which we must consummate an initial business combination from October 21, 2023 to January 21, 2025 (the “October 2023 Extension”). In connection with the October 2023 Extension Meeting, shareholders holding 16,501 Class A Ordinary Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account. As a result of the October 2023 Extension redemption, an aggregate amount of $185,030 (approximately $11.21 per share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders.

In connection with the October 2023 Extension, the Sponsor agreed to deposit $50,000 per month into the Trust Account, which equates to approximately $50,000 per remaining Public Share, for each calendar month (commencing on October 21, 2023 and on the 21st day of each subsequent month) until January 21, 2025, or portion thereof, that is needed to complete an initial business combination, for up to an aggregate of $750,000.

Fair Market Value of Target Business

Pursuant to Nasdaq listing rules, the target business or businesses that AIB acquires must collectively have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the Trust Account at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for AIB’s initial business combination, although AIB may acquire a target business whose fair market value significantly exceeds 80% of the Trust Account balance. The fair market value of the target will be determined by the AIB Board based upon one or more standards generally accepted by the financial community (such as actual and potential sales, earnings, cash flow and/or book value). AIB will not be required to obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm, or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions, as to the fair market value if the AIB Board independently determines that the target business complies with the 80% threshold. The Public Shareholders will be relying on the business judgment of the AIB Board, which will have significant discretion in choosing the standard used to establish the fair market value of the target or targets, and different methods of valuation may vary greatly in outcome from one another. As discussed in the section titled “Proposal No.1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Satisfaction of 80% Test,” the AIB Board determined that this test was met in connection with the Business Combination.

If Nasdaq delists AIB’s securities from trading on its exchange, AIB would not be required to satisfy the fair market value requirement described above and could complete a business combination with a target business having a fair market value substantially below 80% of the balance in the Trust Account.

Shareholder Approval of the Business Combination

AIB is seeking shareholder approval of the Business Combination at the Meeting and, in connection with such meeting, Public Shareholders may redeem their Ordinary Shares for cash in accordance with the procedures described in this proxy statement/prospectus. Such redemption rights will be effected under the Current Charter and the laws of the Cayman Islands. AIB Initial Shareholders have agreed in the Insider Letter Agreement (i) to vote the Founder Shares and Private Shares in favor of the Business Combination; and (ii) to not redeem any AIB Ordinary Shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination, including the Business Combination.

AIB will complete the Business Combination (or any other proposed initial business combination, if the Business Combination is not completed) only if AIB has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation. AIB chose the net tangible asset threshold of $5,000,001 to ensure that it would avoid being subject to Rule 419 promulgated under the Securities Act. For more information related to this condition, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to AIB and the Business Combination.” If (1) AIB is unable to satisfy such condition, and (2) AIB is not able to secure additional third-party financing in order to meet the condition, AIB may not be able to consummate the Business Combination with PSI and it may not be able to locate another suitable target prior to January 21, 2025, if at all. Public Shareholders may therefore have to wait until after January 21, 2025 in order to be able to receive a pro rata share of the Trust Account.

Redemption Rights

In connection with the Meeting, Public Shareholders (but not AIB Initial Shareholders) may seek to exercise redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares, regardless of whether they affirmatively vote for or against the Business Combination, or do not vote at all, for the redemption price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, AIB Initial Shareholders have agreed, pursuant to the Insider Letter Agreement with AIB, not to exercise their redemption rights

162

Table of Contents

with respect to any AIB Ordinary Shares held by them held by them redemption rights of Public Shareholders, if properly exercised in the manner described in this proxy statement/prospectus will be effected under the Current Charter and Cayman Islands law. At the Meeting, Public Shareholders have the ability to vote against the Business Combination and not seek redemption of their Public Shares.

Pursuant to AIB’s Current Charter, a Public Shareholder may request that AIB redeem all or a portion of its Public Shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated, subject to certain limitations, for cash equal to the applicable redemption price; provided, however, that AIB may not redeem such shares to the extent that such redemption would result in AIB having net tangible assets (as determined under the Exchange Act) of less than $5,000,001 upon the completion of the Business Combination.

A Public Shareholder will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if such Public Shareholder:

• holds Public Shares; and

• prior to [ ], Eastern Time on [ ], 2024 (two business days prior to the vote at the Meeting), (i) submit a written request to Continental, AIB’s Transfer Agent, that AIB redeem your Public Shares for cash and (ii) deliver your share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms to the Transfer Agent, physically or electronically through DTC.

Public shareholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares regardless of whether they affirmatively vote for or against the Business Combination Proposal, or do not vote at all, provided that any beneficial holder of Public Shares on whose behalf a redemption right is being exercised must identify itself to AIB in connection with any redemption election in order to validly redeem such Public Shares.

Any corrected or changed written demand of redemption rights must be received by AIB’s Chief Executive Officer two business days prior to the vote taken on the Business Combination at the Meeting. No demand for redemption will be honored unless the holder’s share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms have been delivered (either physically or electronically) to the Transfer Agent at least two business days prior to the vote at the Meeting.

Public Shareholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights and opting to deliver physical certificates and other redemption forms should allot sufficient time to obtain physical certificates from the Transfer Agent and time to effect delivery. It is AIB’s understanding that Public Shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the Transfer Agent. However, AIB does not have any control over this process and it may take longer than two weeks. Public Shareholders who hold their shares in street name will have to coordinate with their banks, brokers or other nominees to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The Transfer Agent will typically charge a nominal fee to the tendering broker and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming shareholder. In the event the Business Combination is not completed, this may result in an additional cost to shareholders for the return of their shares.

If you are a Public Shareholder and you exercise your redemption rights, it will not result in either the exercise or loss of any AIB rights. Your AIB rights will continue to be outstanding following a redemption of your Public Shares and will be automatically converted into one-tenth of one Pubco Ordinary Share upon the completion of the Business Combination.

163

Table of Contents

If the initial business combination is not approved or completed for any reason, then Public Shareholders who elected to exercise their redemption rights would not be entitled to exercise their rights to redeem their Ordinary Shares for the applicable pro rata share of the Trust Account. In such case, AIB will promptly return any share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms delivered by Public Shareholders.

Limitation on Redemption Rights

In connection with the Business Combination 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 Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking conversion of its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares sold in the IPO. AIB believes the restriction described above will discourage shareholders from accumulating large blocks of shares, and subsequent attempts by such holders to use their ability to convert their shares as a means to force us or AIB’s management to purchase their shares at a significant premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. Absent this provision, a Public Shareholder holding more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares sold in the IPO could threaten to exercise its conversion rights against an initial business combination if such holder’s shares are not purchased by us or AIB’s management at a premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. By limiting AIB’s shareholders’ ability to convert no more than 15% of the shares sold in the IPO, AIB believes that it will limit the ability of a small group of shareholders to unreasonably attempt to block AIB’s ability to complete AIB’s initial business combination, particularly in connection with an initial business combination with a target that requires as a closing condition that AIB has a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash. However, we would not be restricting AIB’s shareholders’ ability to vote all of their shares (including all shares held by those shareholders that hold more than 15% of the shares sold in the IPO) for or against AIB’s initial business combination.

Redemption of Public Shares if No Business Combination

If AIB does not complete a business combination by January 21, 2025, AIB will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 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 not previously released to us to pay AIB’s tax obligations and less up to $100,000 of interest we may use for AIB’s working capital obligations, including any necessary liquidation or 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 AIB’s remaining shareholders and AIB’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to AIB’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

Prior to such redemption of Public Shares, AIB would be required to assess all claims that may be potentially brought against us by AIB’s creditors for amounts they are actually owed and make provision for such amounts, as creditors take priority over the Public Shareholders with respect to amounts that are owed to them. There can be no assurances that AIB will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against us. As such, AIB’s shareholders could potentially be liable for any claims of creditors to the extent of distributions received by them as an unlawful payment in the event we enter an insolvent liquidation. Furthermore, while we will seek to have all vendors and service providers (which would include any third parties we engaged to assist us in any way in connection with AIB’s search for a target business) and prospective target businesses execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements. Nor is there any guarantee that, even if such entities execute such agreements with us, they will not seek recourse against the Trust Account or that a court would conclude that such agreements are legally enforceable.

Each of AIB Initial Shareholders have agreed to waive its rights to participate in any liquidation of AIB’s Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares and Private Shares. There will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to AIB Rights which will expire worthless.

164

Table of Contents

If we are unable to complete an initial business combination and expend all of the net proceeds of AIB’s IPO, other than the proceeds deposited in the Trust Account, and without taking into account interest, if any, earned on the Trust Account, the per-share distribution from the Trust Account would be approximately $11.66 (based on the Trust Account balance as of March 31, 2024).

The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however, become subject to the claims of AIB’s creditors which would be prior to the claims of the Public Shareholders. Although AIB will seek to have all vendors, including lenders for money borrowed, prospective target businesses or other entities we engage execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of the Public Shareholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account, including but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage with a claim against AIB’s assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third party refused to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, we would perform an analysis of the alternatives available to us if we chose not to engage such third party and evaluate if such engagement would be in the best interest of the Public Shareholders if such third party refused to waive such claims. Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third party that refused to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third-party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a provider of required services willing to provide the waiver. In any event, AIB’s management would perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and would only enter into an agreement with a third party that did not execute a waiver if management believed that such third party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to us than any alternative. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason.

Employees

AIB has two executive officers. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to AIB matters and devote only as much time as they deem necessary to AIB’s affairs. AIB does not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the completion of a business combination.

Legal Proceedings

To the knowledge of AIB’s management, there is no litigation currently pending or contemplated against AIB, any of AIB’s officers or directors in their capacity as such or against any of AIB’s property.

Pursuant to Nasdaq listing rules we have established two standing committees — an audit committee in compliance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act and a compensation committee. Subject to phase-in rules and a limited exception, Nasdaq rules and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors, and Nasdaq rules require that the compensation committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors.

Audit Committee

We have established an audit committee of AIB Board. David Knower and David Adelman serve as members of our audit committee, and Merry Tang chairs the audit committee. Under the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have at least three members of the audit committee, all of whom must be independent. We believe that each of David Knower, David Adelman and Merry Tang meet the independent director standard under Nasdaq listing standards and under Rule 10-A-3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act.

Each member of the audit committee is financially literate and AIB Board has determined that Merry Tang qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules and has accounting or related financial management expertise.

We have adopted an amended and restated audit committee charter, which details the purpose and principal functions of the audit committee, including:

• assisting AIB Board oversight of (1) the integrity of our financial statements, (2) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (3) our independent auditor’s qualifications and independence and (4) the performance of our internal audit function and independent auditors;

• the appointment, compensation, retention, replacement and oversight of the work of the independent auditors 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 auditors or any other registered public accounting firm engaged by us and establishing pre-approval policies and procedures;

167

Table of Contents

• reviewing and discussing with the independent auditors 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 auditors;

• 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 auditors describing (1) the independent auditor’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 auditor, including reviewing our specific disclosures under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”;

• 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;

• reviewing with management, the independent auditors, 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 FASB, the SEC or other regulatory authorities; and

• advising AIB Board and any other board committees if the clawback provisions of Rule 10D-1 under the Exchange Act are triggered based upon a financial statement restatement or other financial statement change, with the assistance of management and to the extent that our securities continue to be listed on an exchange and subject to Rule 10D-1 under the Exchange Act.

Compensation Committee

We have established a compensation committee of AIB Board. David Knower and Merry Tang serve as members of our compensation committee, and David Adelman chairs the compensation committee. Under the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have at least two members of the compensation committee, all of whom must be independent. David Adelman and David Knower are independent, and David Adelman chairs the compensation committee.

We have adopted an amended and restated 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 AIB Board 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;

168

Table of Contents

• reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors; and

• Reviewing and making recommendations to AIB Board with respect to revisions to our clawback policy that allows us to recoup incentive compensation received by colleagues, and (ii) reviewing and making recommendations to AIB Board regarding clawbacks of incentive compensation and determining the extent, if any, to which incentive-based compensation of the relevant colleagues should be reduced or extinguished.

The Current 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 will be 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.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees. A copy of the Code of Ethics can be found as an exhibit to our registration statement on Form S-1 for our IPO and will be provided without charge upon request from us. 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.

Trading Policies

On January 18, 2022, we adopted insider trading policies and procedures governing the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of our securities by directors, officers and employees, which are reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and applicable Nasdaq listing standards.

Executive Compensation.

None of our officers or directors have received or, prior to our initial business combination, will receive any cash compensation for services rendered to us. We pay the Sponsor up to $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services. The Sponsor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, are reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Our audit committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the Sponsor, officers, directors 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 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 executive officers and directors 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 completion of our initial business combination should be a determining factor in our decision to proceed with any potential business combination.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATION OF AIB

The following discussion and analysis of AIB’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the sections entitled “Information Related to AIB,” and AIB’s consolidated financial statements and related notes to those statements and other information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon our current expectations, estimates and projections that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements due to, among other considerations, the matters discussed under “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements” in this proxy statement/prospectus. Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references in this section to “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company” and other similar terms refer to AIB and its consolidated subsidiaries before the Business Combination.

Overview

We are a blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting an initial business combination with one or more target businesses. We intend to effectuate our business combination using cash from the proceeds of our IPO and the sale of the units that occurred simultaneously with the completion of our IPO, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a business combination will be successful.

Recent Developments

On October 18, 2023, AIB issued an aggregate of 2,156,249 Class A Ordinary Shares, to the Sponsor, upon the Conversion of an equal number of the Class B Ordinary Shares, held by the Sponsor.

The 2,156,249 Class A Ordinary Shares issued in connection with the Conversion are subject to the same restrictions as applied to the Class B Ordinary Shares before the conversion, including, among other things, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of an initial business combination as described in the prospectus for AIB IPO.

On October 19, 2023, AIB held the October 2023 Extension Meeting and approved, among other things, the October 2023 Extension. In connection with the October 2023 Extension, shareholders holding 16,501 AIB Ordinary Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account. As a result, $185,030 (approximately $11.21 per share) were removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders.

In connection with the October 2023 Extension, on October 19, 2023, AIB issued the a promissory note (the “October 2023 Extension Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $750,000 (the “October 2023 Extension Funds”) to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the October 2023 Extension Funds will be deposited into AIB’s Trust Account for the benefit of each outstanding Public Share that was not redeemed in connection with the extension of AIB’s termination date from October 21, 2023 to January 21, 2025. As of May 21, 2024, an aggregate of $400,000 (plus applicable interest) of the October 2023 Extension Funds had been deposited into the Trust Account.

AIB shall deposit $50,000 per month into the Trust Account for each calendar month (commencing on October 21, 2023 and on the 21st day of each subsequent month) until January 21, 2025, or portion thereof, that is needed to complete an initial business combination, for up to an aggregate of $750,000.

On December 21, 2023, an amendment to the Underwriting Agreement was entered into by and between AIB and Maxim, pursuant to which, in lieu of the $3,018,750 deferred underwriting fees payable upon the consummation of an initial business combination, Maxim or its designee will be entitled to receive 301,875 Deferred Underwriting Shares upon the consummation of a business combination.

On December 21, 2023, Maxim was engaged by AIB as its sole M&A advisor for AIB’s Business Combination with PSI. Maxim will be entitled to receive Pubco Ordinary Shares as payment for its advisory services, which is equivalent to 1.0% of the equity value of the PSI, with unlimited piggyback registration rights and the same rights afforded other holders of the Pubco Ordinary Shares issued in the Business Combination.

Table of Contents

On December 27, 2023, AIB entered into the Business Combination Agreement with PSI, Pubco and other parties named there into for a proposed Business Combination. Under the Business Combination Agreement, the total consideration to be received by shareholders of PSI at the Closing will be newly issued Pubco Ordinary Shares, with each share valued at $10.00, and with an aggregate value equal to $200,000,000, subject to adjustments for PSI’s Net Working Capital, Closing Debt and Transaction Expenses (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement attached as Annex A).

On February 6, 2024, AIB instructed Continental to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account, with Continental continuing to act as trustee, until the earlier of the consummation of AIB’s initial business combination or its liquidation. As a result, following the liquidation of investments in the Trust Account, the remaining proceeds from the IPO and Private Placement are no longer invested in U.S. government securities or money market funds invested in U.S. government securities.

On May 11, 2023, AIB received a deficiency letter from the Staff of Nasdaq notifying AIB that, for the preceding 30 consecutive business days, AIB’s MVLS was below the MVLS Requirement of $50 million for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A). Also on May 11, 2023, AIB received a deficiency letter from the Staff of Nasdaq notifying AIB that, for the preceding 30 consecutive business days, AIB’s MVPHS was below the MVPHS Requirement of $15 million for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(3)(C). The Nasdaq rules provide AIB with a compliance period of 180 calendar days in which to regain compliance. If, at any time during this compliance period, AIB’s MVLS closes at $50 million or more and AIB’s MVPHS closes at $15 million or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide AIB with written confirmation of compliance. On September 25, 2023, AIB received a Deficiency Notice from the Staff of Nasdaq notifying AIB that AIB’s Public Holders were below the 400 Public Holders Requirement for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2). The Nasdaq rules provided AIB 45 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance and a compliance period of up to 180 calendar days in which to evidence compliance. On November 9, 2023, AIB submitted its plan of compliance in response to the Deficiency Notice on Public Holders Requirement. On November 22, 2023, AIB received the Notice from the Staff of Nasdaq indicating that since it was first notified by Nasdaq on May 11, 2023, AIB had not regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) for the MVLS Requirement, and that AIB had not regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(C) for the MVPHS Requirement. Additionally, AIB’s noncompliance with the Public Holders requirement served as an additional basis for delisting. Pursuant to the Notice, unless AIB timely requested a hearing before the Panel, AIB’s securities would be subject to suspension and delisting from The Nasdaq Global Market at the opening of business on December 1, 2023. AIB timely requested a hearing before the Panel, which hearing request stayed the suspension and delisting of AIB’s securities pending conclusion of the hearings process. On February 13, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Staff indicating that the Company regained compliance with the MVPHS requirement. At a hearing on February 22, 2024, AIB presented a compliance plan before the Panel. On March 14, 2024, the Panel issued its decision, which granted AIB’s timely request for continued listing until May 20, 2024, subject to certain conditions, including that (i) on or before May 1, 2024, AIB shall advise the Panel on the status of the SEC review of the Form F-4, (ii) on or before May 15, 2024, AIB shall hold a shareholder meeting and obtain approval for completion of its initial business combination, and (iii) on or before May 20, 2024, AIB shall close its initial business combination and the new entity shall demonstrate compliance with Listing Rule 5505. On May 1, 2024, AIB notified the Panel that it would not close an initial business combination by the Panel’s deadline. On May 7, 2024, AIB received a written notice from the Panel indicating that the Panel had decided to delist AIB’s securities from Nasdaq and trading of AIB securities would be suspended at the open of trading on May 9, 2024, due to AIB’s failure to comply with the terms of the Panel’s decision issued on March 14, 2024. Despite this decision, a formal delisting would not take effect until all applicable Nasdaq review and appeal periods have expired and Nasdaq files a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 on Form 25 with the SEC (the “Form 25”) after the applicable Nasdaq review and appeal periods have lapsed and/or upon the Closing. AIB did not appeal the Panel’s decision to the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council (the “Council”), and, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, AIB has not received notice from the Council of any review of the Panel’s decision, and the Trading Suspension is still in place. There can be no assurance that the Trading Suspension will be lifted prior to the Closing. Further, although the parties intend to complete the Business Combination before a Form 25 is filed, it is uncertain if Pubco will be able to meet Nasdaq’s initial listing requirements to list its securities on Nasdaq, which is a condition to the Closing. While such condition can be waived mutually by the parties to the Business Combination Agreement, PSI does not intend to waive such condition. Since the Trading Suspension, AIB Units, AIB Class A Ordinary Shares and AIB Public Rights have been eligible to trade on the OTC Markets under the tickers “ACCUF,” “AIBAF” and “AACRF,” respectively.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenues to date. Our only activities from inception through March 31, 2024 were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the IPO, described below, and since the IPO, the search for a prospective initial business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial business combination, at the earliest. We expect to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds of the IPO placed in the Trust Account. We expect that 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 in connection with searching for, and completing, an initial business combination.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we had a net loss of $399,622, which primarily consists of general and administrative expenses of $521,578, offset by interest earned on cash and investments held in the Trust Account of $121,956.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we had a net loss of $8,873, which primarily consists of general and administrative expenses of $288,676, offset by interest earned on investments held in trust account of $276,729 and unrealized gain on investments held in trust account of $3,074.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, we had a net loss of $733,308, which primarily consists of general and administrative expenses of $1,432,432, offset by interest and dividends earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $699,124.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, we had a net income of $588,411, which primarily consists of interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $1,383,127 and unrealized gain on investments held in the Trust Account of $29,948, offset by general and administrative expenses of $824,664.

Factors That May Adversely Affect Our Results of Operations

Our results of operations and our ability to complete an initial business combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond our control. Our business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, increases in interest rates, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, public health considerations, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. We cannot at this time predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact our business and our ability to complete an initial business combination.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2024, we had $6,552 in our operating bank account and working capital deficit of $2,163,786, which excludes cash held in the Trust Account, the liability for convertible note and deferred underwriting fee.

As of December 31, 2023, we had $114,709 in our operating bank account and working capital deficit of $1,592,208, which excludes investments held in the Trust Account, the liability for convertible note and deferred underwriting fee.

On July 30, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan us an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “IPO Promissory Note”). The IPO Promissory Note became payable on the Initial Public Offering and is non-interest bearing. On January 21, 2022, the IPO Promissory Note was repaid in full.

On January 20, 2023, we issued a promissory note (the “January 2023 Extension Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $450,000 (the “January 2023 Extension Funds”) to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the January 2023 Extension Funds will be deposited into the Trust Account in monthly installments for the benefit of each outstanding Public Share that was not redeemed in connection with the extension of the end of the Combination Period from January 21, 2023 to October 21, 2023. The Sponsor has agreed to pay $50,000 per month that the Board decides to take to complete an initial business combination into the Trust Account, which equates to approximately $0.05 per remaining Public Share, for each calendar month (commencing on January 21, 2023 and continuing through October 21, 2023, or portion thereof), for up to an aggregate of $450,000. As of March 31, 2024, an aggregate of $450,000 had been deposited into the Trust Account. The January 2023 Extension Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (i) the date of the consummation of the initial business combination, and (ii) the date of our liquidation.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, certain of AIB’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan AIB funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). Any such Working Capital Loans would be on an interest-free basis and would be repaid only from funds held outside the Trust Account or from funds released to us upon completion of our initial business combination. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into Conversion Units at a price of $10.00 per Conversion Unit, at the option of the lender. The Conversion Units would be identical to the Private Placement Units issued to the Sponsor. We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our Trust Account.

On January 23, 2023, we issued the Working Capital Note, a promissory note in the principal amount of up to $500,000 to the Sponsor. The Working Capital Note was issued in connection with advances the Sponsor has made, and may make in the future, to us for working capital expenses. The Working Capital Note bears no interest and is due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which we consummate our initial business combination and (ii) the date that our winding up is effective. At the election of the Sponsor, up to $500,000 of the unpaid principal amount of the Working Capital Note may be converted into Conversion Units, each Conversion Unit consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share and one right exchangeable into one-tenth of one Class A Ordinary Share, equal to: (x) the portion of the principal amount of this Working Capital Note being converted, divided by (y) $10.00, rounded up to the nearest whole number of units. The Conversion Units are identical to the units issued by us to the Sponsor in the private placement. The Conversion Units and their underlying securities are entitled to the registration rights set forth in the Working Capital Note. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there was an outstanding balance of $500,000 on the Working Capital Note.

On October 19, 2023, AIB issued the October 2023 Extension Note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $750,000 to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the October 2023 Extension Funds will be deposited into AIB’s Trust Account for the benefit of each outstanding Public Share that was not redeemed in connection with the extension of AIB’s termination date from October 21, 2023 to January 21, 2025. AIB will deposit $50,000 per month into the Trust Account, which equates to approximately $0.05 per remaining Public Share, for each calendar month (commencing on October 21, 2023 and on the 21st day of each subsequent month) until January 21, 2025, or portion thereof, that is needed to complete an initial business combination, for up to an aggregate of $750,000. As of May 21, 2024, an aggregate of $400,000 (plus applicable interest) had been deposited into the Trust Account in connection with the October 2023 Extension Note, which covers the extension period through June 21, 2024. The October 2023 Extension Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the initial business combination, and (b) the date of our liquidation. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Trust Account contained approximately $11.66 and $11.44 per remaining Public Share outstanding, respectively.

If our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a business combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain other financing either to complete our business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of our business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our business combination. If we are unable to complete our 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 business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

On January 19, 2023, upon the shareholders’ approval, we entered into an amendment to the trust agreement to extend the date by which we are required to consummate a business combination from January 21, 2023 to October 21, 2023, or such earlier date as determined by the board, in its sole discretion. Subsequently, On October 19, 2023, upon the shareholders’ approval of the October 2023 Extension Amendment, AIB extended the date by which it would be required to consummate a business combination from October 21, 2023 to January 21, 2025, or such earlier date as determined by the board, in its sole discretion. As a result, we have up to 36 months from the closing of the IPO on January 21, 2022 to consummate a business combination, unless further extended as permitted by the Current Charter. It is uncertain that we will be able to consummate a business combination by this time. If a business combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution.

173

Table of Contents

In connection with the our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern,” management has determined that mandatory liquidation, should an initial business combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance of the financial statements.

We have entered into that certain administrative services agreement, dated as of January 18, 2022 (the “Administrative Service Agreement”), pursuant to which, we pay the Sponsor up to $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services. Upon completion of our initial business combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying any of these monthly fees. Accordingly, in the event the consummation of our initial business combination takes the maximum 36 months, or until January 21, 2025, the Sponsor will be paid up to $10,000 per month ($360,000 in the aggregate) for office space, administrative and support services and is entitled to be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses.

On December 21, 2023, we entered into an amendment to the Underwriting Agreement with Maxim, pursuant to which, in lieu of the $3,018,750 deferred underwriting fees payable upon the consummation of an initial business combination, Maxim or its designee will be entitled to receive 301,875 Deferred Underwriting Shares upon the consummation of a business combination.

On December 21, 2023, we engaged Maxim as our sole M&A advisor for the Business Combination with PSI. Maxim will be entitled to receive Pubco Ordinary Shares as payment for its advisory services, which is equivalent to 1.0% of the equity value of the PSI, with unlimited piggyback registration rights and the same rights afforded other holders of the Pubco Ordinary Shares issued in the Business Combination.

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 will qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act will be allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As such, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the 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 executive compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our IPO or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. As of December 31, 2023, we had not identified any critical accounting estimates.

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.

Overview

PSI is a long-established global logistics and supply chain solution provider, specialized in air freight forwarding services, connecting businesses from Asian transportation hubs to the US and the rest of the world. We operate through our Operating Subsidiaries in Hong Kong, namely Profit Sail Int’l Express (H.K.) Limited and Business Great Global Supply Chain Limited, which derive revenue from air freight forwarding services, ocean freight forwarding services and supply chain ancillary services.

We are a renowned air freight and end-to-end supply chain solution providers in Hong Kong, with a focus on providing cross border logistics services. According to CIC, in 2020, we ranked the sixth among 1,300 Tier-2 freight forwarders in Hong Kong, in terms of revenue. Based in Hong Kong, a prominent logistics hub in Asia, we benefit from geographical advantages in providing integrated solutions that combine ocean, air, and overland logistics. This well-connected transportation network significantly enhances our operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

We are positioning ourselves as a global e-Commerce logistic service specialist, delivering solutions that are not only cost-effective but also sufficiently fast to compete with local alternatives. Our ability to accommodate adaptive service models is crucial for serving cross-border merchants, brands and e-Commerce platforms. This flexibility and adaptability are underpinned by our expertise in traditional services, which include air freight forwarding and ocean freight forwarding.

Through our Operating Subsidiaries, we employ an asset-light, structurally flexible, and scalable business model. Rather than owning or operating aircraft or vessels, we collaborate with carriers that specialize in asset-intensive transportation to handle freight shipment on our behalf. This arrangement allows us to customize our services to meet specific customer demands by selecting from various transportation methods and providers. Additionally, our asset-light business model minimizes our capital expenditure requirements, enabling us to scale our business to the market situation rapidly. We work closely with a robust network of well-established agents to manage both incoming and outgoing traffic for all other nations. These representatives are handpicked to maintain a uniformly high standard of service for our clients.

Our primary revenue streams come from premia charged above carrier fees for transporting customer shipments, as well as fees for customs brokerage and other value-added services. With our long-term, established relationships with our upstream suppliers, mainly airline carriers and shipping liners, we are able to secure cargo space at relatively lower prices compared to market guideline prices. Our existing customers are primarily peer freight forwarders and other logistics service providers, as well as some direct customers that book consignment shipping directly with us. Given the large volume of cargo we handle daily and our operational expertise in consolidating fragmented consignments, our unit rates per kilogram or per container charged to our customers can be lower compared to those seeking direct arrangements with carriers or other forwarders. With our expertise in providing these services and our knowledge of the global transportation network, we are well-positioned to help our customers improve transportation and cost efficiency.

Our Operating Subsidiaries source cargo space through various agreements, including direct booking, block space arrangements, and flight charters. Direct bookings involve purchase of cargo space without fixed-term agreements, while block space arrangements and aircraft charter arrangements ensure a reliable supply of cargo space to meet customer needs. In the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023, our Operating Subsidiaries provided services to over 500 customers accumulatively, including freight forwarders and direct customers who are not freight forwarders but purchase cargo space directly from us. We have the ability to secure cargo space from suppliers for a wide range of destinations, serving over 90 routes around the globe.

During the same periods, we recorded revenue of approximately US$130.9 million, US$96.2 million and US$139.7 million, respectively, reflecting the acquisition of BGG in March 2022 and the exceptional circumstances experienced in the freight forwarding market in 2021. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of PSI — Exceptional Circumstances in 2021.” Revenue from air freight forwarding services accounted for 94.4%, 95.2% and 99.0% of the total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023, respectively; revenue from ocean freight forwarding services accounted for 5.1%, 4.8% and 1.2% of the total revenue for the same periods, respectively.

The revenue generated from freight forwarding services primarily comes from air freight exports to regions such as North America, Europe, and Asia. The United States is our largest forwarding destination. The table below provides a breakdown of the revenue from export freight forwarding services by destination regions for the indicated periods:

The Market: The Rise of Global E-Commerce Logistics Market

Global retail logistics presents an enormous market opportunity. According to CIC, the global retail logistics market, consisting of e-Commerce and offline segments, has grown at a CAGR of 6.8% from US$1.86 trillion in 2018 to US$2.4 trillion in 2022, and is expected to further grow at a CAGR of 7.3% from US$2.38 trillion in 2023 to US$3.2 trillion by 2027. In the past two decades, the global retail logistics market has undergone a profound transformation, largely catalyzed by the rise of e-Commerce. This transformation has fundamentally altered how consumers shop and merchants conduct business. Notably, the e-Commerce logistics segment has experienced remarkable growth, outpacing the growth of the overall retail logistics market and taking an increasing share of the market. The penetration rate of e-Commerce logistics, which represents the percentage of e-Commerce logistics to total retail logistics, increased from 12.2% in 2018 to 18.7% in 2022, and is expected to further increase to 26.7% in 2027. Logistics services have played a pivotal role in enabling and are benefiting from the expansion of the e-Commerce segment. Primarily driven by the growth of the e-Commerce market, the total market size of the global e-Commerce logistics market is expected to reach US$847 billion by 2027.

Key Success Factors for Cross-Border E-Commerce Logistics Companies

To meet the growing demand of cross-border merchants, brands and e-Commerce platforms, logistics companies must have a global reach and strong logistics capabilities to handle high parcel volume across countries and regions globally with traceability and optimized costs.

Millions of products are purchased from cross-border merchants, brands and e-Commerce platforms daily and around the world. To support their operations, logistics companies must be able to arrange the delivery of millions of small parcels to, or placement of inventories in, different destination countries around the globe. To be competitive with local online or offline retail options, it is critical for such merchants, brands and e-Commerce platforms to offer high-quality goods at prices, including logistics fees, that are competitive with local retail goods while providing consumers with time-definite deliveries. To address this, logistics companies must possess an extensive global network and strong technology capabilities to continuously innovate in solutions and optimize costs.

Our Traditional Business: Integrated Freight Forwarding Service

The value chain in the integrated freight forwarding industry consists of upstream carriers, midstream freight forwarders, and downstream consigners. We operate as a midstream integrated freight forwarder, acting as an intermediary between the upstream carrier and the downstream consigners.

Upstream carriers, including airlines, ocean vessel companies, and ground transportation firms, are responsible for the actual transportation of goods. These carriers often engage with midstream freight forwarders to arrange and manage shipments. Throughout the logistics operation, midstream freight forwarders act as consignors at both the origin and destination of the shipment. In the case of air cargo, before delivery, the freight forwarder handles flight bookings, cartage for crating and consolidation at the facility, and delivery to the airport at the origin for loading. Once the cargo arrives at the destination cargo terminal, the freight forwarder’s agency or partner takes over to provide local transportation, storage, and warehousing services. Freight forwarders can reserve cargo space offered by carriers either in entirety or partially. Downstream consigners, such as trading companies, wholesalers, distributors, and manufacturing companies, initiate the movement or transport of goods. Freight forwarders are typically entrusted with completing shipments and providing related services, including customs clearance, storage, warehousing solutions, and door-to-door delivery to the intended consignee.

It is an industry common practice for freight forwarders to consolidate or co-load the shipments with other market players. This involves sharing space on the same transportation vehicle, such as ships or flights, with one or more freight forwarders and splitting the fare of the trip. Freight forwarders are able to consolidate truckload (“TL”) with less-than truckload (“LTL”) shipments or multiple LTL shipments or TLs to create co-loaded shipments. The benefits of co-loading include minimizing the freight charges by splitting them among other freight forwarders and thus reducing cost.

Market driver for continuous upward growth trajectory

According to CIC, major drivers of the cross-border logistics services for Hong Kong are as follows:

Accelerated growth of cross-border e-Commerce market globally stimulates the demand for air freight forwarding services and more integrated supply chain solutions

The exponential growth of cross border e-Commerce has presented Hong Kong with a unique opportunity to develop its logistics sector and improve its supply chain offerings in warehousing, distribution, and fulfillment facilities. The number of cross-border e-Commerce shoppers is anticipated to increase further to reach approximately 843 million by 2025. This rapidly growing customer base will therefore provide a solid foundation for more shopping transactions in the years ahead. Logistics experience has become a key consideration for today’s consumers in choosing how and where to shop. Cross-border e-Commerce platforms have collaborated with specialized e-Commerce logistics service providers and upgraded logistics fulfillment capabilities to facilitate more rapid, reliable and cost-effective deliveries globally. This has contributed to the improvement in consumer experience, making cross-border e-Commerce a competitive alternative to local retail. Given the nature of online retail merchandise, the transportation of online consumer goods is time sensitive, which is mostly completed by airways. The growing online shopping and cross-border e-Commerce are expected to stimulate the demand for integrated air freight forwarding services.

An increase in the international trade volume by air and continuous improvement in airport infrastructure in Hong Kong will facilitate the growth of the industry.

According to HKTDC, in 2022, 41% of Hong Kong’s total exports and 55% of its total imports were transported by air, compared with 23% of its exports and 31% of its imports in 2001. Hong Kong International Airport (“HKIA”) is one of the world’s busiest airports for international cargo. In 2022, total cargo throughput of HKIA reached 4.2 million tons, ranking first in the world. It is a key trans-shipment hub in Asia and Greater China, linked around 110 airlines to about 165 destinations worldwide. HKIA’s current expansion with a third runway is expected to be completed in 2024, which will significantly boost cargo capacity. Additionally, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is expected to further enhance HKIA’s role in the industry. The Hong Kong Government’s Construction and Mainland Affairs Bureau has allocated land in HKIA’s South Cargo Precinct for trans-shipment, cross-boundary e-Commerce, and high-value air cargo, express air cargo terminal capacity was expected to improve by 50% in 2022.

Global air freight industry is posed for recovery and shows signs of continued growth particularly in Asia-related routes.

In the aftermath of COVID-19 pandemic, the air freight industry is posed for recovery in 2023. According to IATA, global air cargo demand reported a growth of 3.8% in October 2023 (compared to the freight traffic in October 2022). New opportunities have also arisen in the air cargo industry as many businesses began shifting their preferred method of transport from ocean to air to avoid long delivery times and delays. Furthermore, growing consumption and pressure on businesses to restock inventory will continue to support air cargo growth. IATA found Asia-related trade lanes continued to lead the global air cargo demand.

Competitive Landscape

The logistics and freight forwarding industry in Hong Kong is highly fragmented. We compete with freight forwarders of various sizes, ranging from global leading participants having their own global network of offices and transportation fleet, to small- and medium-scaled freight forwarders like ourselves. We believe that our competitive strengths, details of which set out in the subsection headed “— Competitive Strengths,” distinguish us from our competitors.

According to HKTDC Research, as of December 2022, there were 1,343 participants in the integrated air freight forwarding service market in Hong Kong. According to the CIC Report, Freight forwarding companies in Hong Kong are divided into two tiers. Tier 1 players, of which there are approximately 20, are the leading participants in the industry and account for about 45.0% of the total revenue of the integrated air freight forwarding market in Hong Kong in 2020. These players are mainly multinational enterprises with global offices and transportation fleets, and they maintain long-term relationships with major international carriers.

Apart from tier 1 players, there are tier 2 players, which are smaller Hong Kong-based local enterprises like us. These companies typically have an annual turnover below HK$1.5 billion (US$200 million). They tend to have better understanding of the local business culture and established long-term customer relationships. According to CIC, our group ranked sixth among 1,300 Tier 2 air freight forwarding companies, with a market share of about 1.8% in 2020 in Hong Kong.

Our Services

Started as a provider of freight forwarding services, we are a renowned air-freight specialist in Hong Kong. In recent years, we have evolved our businesses to offer a comprehensive range of cross-border supply chain services, particularly strengthening our offerings in the e-Commerce market. We source cargo space from our suppliers (such as airlines, shipping liners, and other freight forwarders) through various arrangements such as direct booking, block space arrangements and flight charters. We utilize cargo and route resources to help our customers to ship their consignments globally at discounted rates compared to those who negotiate directly with carriers. We also offer customers more certain access to cargo capacity even during times of high demand.

We are positioning ourselves as global e-Commerce logistic service specialist, delivering solutions that are not only cost-effective but also sufficiently fast to compete with local alternatives. Our ability to accommodate adaptive service models is crucial for serving cross-border merchants, brands and e-Commerce platforms. This flexibility and adaptability are underpinned by our long-established expertise in traditional services, which include air freight forwarding and ocean freight forwarding:

Air Freight Services

Substantially all of our revenue is derived from the provision of air freight forwarding services, which includes both the import and export of goods. These services principally involve arranging shipment based on booking instructions from customers, conducting off-airport air cargo security screening, securing cargo space from cargo space suppliers (including airlines and other freight forwarders) and preparing necessary documentations such as customs clearance paperwork. We also offer ancillary logistics services such as cargo pickup, cargo handling at ports and local transportation, as well as warehousing related services such as repackaging, labelling, palletization, preparation of shipping documentation, customs clearance and warehousing. Our air freight forwarding services cover export shipments to over 90 countries.

Some of the specific air freight services we offer include:

• Domestic, deferred, express and charter services, providing customers with options based on price and delivery speed;

• Port to Port and Door to Door shipments, allowing customers to separately manage post-arrival services such as delivery or clearance;

• Combination with our ocean freight services;

• Air and transload shipping services, transferring arriving cargo from an airline container or pallet to trucks for final delivery; and

• Transport of sensitive, perishable and refrigerated goods.

To support these services, we engage independent service providers for logistics services at the origin of the consignment, such as cargo pickup, cargo handling at ports, x-ray screening, and local transportation. For warehousing-related services, including repackaging, labelling, palletization, preparation of shipping documentation, customs clearance and warehousing, we engage third-party service providers to manage these operations in their warehouses, under the supervision of our operations team. Prior to August 2022, when we surrendered the lease for our Tsing Yi Warehouse to improve our financial flexibility by reducing fixed rental costs, those operations were conducted in the Tsing Yi Warehouse.

The warehouse we contract is also Regulated Air Cargo Screening Facility (“RACSF”), a facility which is able to conduct air cargo screening facility at an off-airport location. Pursuant to the International Civil Aviation Organization (“ICAO”) policy, the Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department (“CAD”) requires the freight forwarders to screen all cargoes consigned by existing known consignors, which have not been validated by CAD. In light of this policy, CAD has formulated the RACSF Scheme to enable and regulate air cargo screening at off-airport locations, where interested industry operators, such as freight forwarders and shared warehouse operators, can conduct cargo screening operations in their off-airport premises by registering with the CAD to become a RACSF.

In response to the RACSF Scheme, we invested in and installed x-ray screening facilities and registered as “Regulated Agent” under the Scheme, as a freight forwarder that is able to carry out the security controls of air cargo off-airport in our own premise, as approved by the CAD. The x-ray screening facilities are located at our warehousing services provider’s warehouse, where the screening service is performed under our supervision.

Our x-ray screening capabilities enable us to handle bulk or palletized cargo, streamlining the handling of large quantities of goods within tight schedules and minimizing errors. Providing off-airport air cargo security screening service enhances our efficiency and competitiveness in the freight forwarding industry. By providing these services, we have expanded the scope of our air freight forwarding services, particularly for other freight forwarders who lack in-house off-airport x-ray screening capabilities.

During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023, we did not enter into long-term written service agreements with these service providers, and we did not experience any material non-performance issues or quality disputes with our service providers that may cause material disruption to our operation.

Ocean Freight Services

Our ocean freight forwarding services involve similar steps to those employed in our air freight services. We procure ocean cargo space from shipping liners and ocean freight forwarders. We provide ocean freight consolidation, direct ocean forwarding, and order management services. We do not own or operate the vessels responsible for ocean transportation. We offer ancillary logistics and warehousing related services if requested by our customer. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023, the revenue from ocean freight forwarding services amounted to approximately US$6.7 million, US$4.6 million and US$1.3 million, respectively, representing 5.1%, 4.8% and 1.0% of our total revenue, respectively.

Competitive Strengths

We believe in our ability to utilize our expansive global reach and expertise in air and ocean freight to form partnerships with our customers, thereby uncovering value within their supply chains and collectively building smart and efficient end-to-end logistics solutions. Our competitive advantages include:

Established reputation in the industry

We established our operations as a freight forwarder in 1993, giving us a successful track record of over 30 years. Throughout this time, we have established an extensive network of suppliers and customers involved in the transportation of cargo. Our reputation within this network is built upon on our dedication towards meeting the needs of our customers.

We have also been acknowledged for the quality of our service, as we are an accredited member of the International Air Transport Association (“IATA”). This association holds significant recognition within the industry, and airlines generally prefer partnering with freight forwarders who are IATA accredited agents. Becoming an IATA accredited agent involves fulfilling various criteria, including having at least two staff members who have undergone training on handling dangerous goods. Additionally, applicants must submit audited financial statements, insurance policies, and sales reports on IATA member airlines for inspection, in order to demonstrate that such applicants have sufficient financial resources to satisfy IATA requirements.

This accreditation also serves as a barrier to entry in the freight forwarding industry, as it requires time to establish a reputable presence in this industry. We believe that by being part of this renowned network of freight forwarders and industry participants, we can reach a vast range of suppliers and customers, potentially expanding and improving our base of suppliers and customers.

Comprehensive business network and stable business relationships with suppliers

We take pride in our ability to provide comprehensive routing services that are customized to meet the unique needs and requirements of our customers. Leveraging on our extensive experience in sourcing cargo space, gained over a period of over 30 years, we are capable of securing cargo space from airlines, shipping liners and other freight forwarders to reach a wide range of destinations covering over 90 international routes.

In the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023, we maintained stable relationships with our suppliers, who primarily consist of airlines and other freight forwarders. Our stable relationships with our suppliers and the extensive network with our business partner also enable us to continue to secure a stable supply of cargo space for our customers, which in turn further encourages customer loyalty, thereby strengthening our sales performance.

Our diversified supplier network also minimizes the risks posed by reliance on a small number of suppliers and allows us to offer a wide portfolio of cargo routes at competitive prices for our customers and recommend the most viable route depending on their individual shipping needs. The diversified network distinguishes us from our competitors as maintaining such a network along the value chain requires years of effort in building strong relationships with suppliers, which could be a major obstacle to new entrants.

Strong, long-term relationships with our customers

We believe that our reputation and track record play a crucial role in customers’ selection of freight forwarders. During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023, we offered freight forwarding services to direct shippers and other freight forwarders, with our primary and largest customers being other freight forwarders. It is important for us to continue to expand our customer base while maintaining strong, long-term business relationships with our customers. To achieve this, our sales team consistently communicates with major customers to ensure our services meet their delivery and logistics needs.

We have maintained long-term relationships with our largest customers and believe that it demonstrates their loyalty and acknowledgement of our service quality. As such, even without fixed-term contracts, we believe we can rely on our good reputation and track record to retain current customers and attract new ones.

Additionally, our ability to efficiently consolidate cargo from various customers to meet airline standards, along with our expertise in providing tailored value-added services and customized distribution solutions such as labeling, packing, reprocessing, and local transportation, allows us to attract more customers in the high-tech products and fast-moving consumer goods (“FMCG”) industries.

Dedicated team with extensive experience in freight forwarding industries

Our management team possesses extensive experience and in-depth knowledge in the freight forwarding and logistics industry. Specifically, our directors, Mr. Yee Kit Chan and Mr. Hok Wai Alex Ko, have more than 40 and 27 years of experience, respectively, in logistics and supply chain operations. Throughout our company’s 30-year track record, our founder Mr. Chan has guided us through the ever-changing global economy and challenges by establishing a sustainable and proven business model, allowing for a sustainable business and operation.

Our directors are also supported by a senior management team with extensive industry experience in freight forwarding and logistics. Their experience and expertise enable us to cultivate strong relationships with our business partners and customers, a key factor in our success. See “PSI’s Directors and Executive Officers” and “Management of Pubco Following the Business Combination” for more information regarding the background and experience of our directors and senior management members.

The industry expertise and knowledge of our staff give us a competitive edge over our competitors. This advantage allows us to efficiently meet our customers’ needs, earning their confidence in our services. We consider this confidence essential to our long-term growth and development in the freight forwarding industry.

Growth Strategies

We have clear growth strategies to capture opportunities in the cross-border e-Commerce market. We plan to grow our business through i) expanding our global service capacity, particularly our local network in the US market; ii) enhancing our current operations, including by accelerating development of our smart integrated logistics system; iii) strategic alliance through selected acquisitions or partnerships.

Expand our service presence in the cross-border e-Commerce market.

The fast growth and strong performance of cross-border e-Commerce industry in Hong Kong is expected, as a regional hub for trans-continental imports and exports from Mainland China and Southeast Asia, China and ASEAN, to further propel the demand for Hong Kong’s global air freight forwarding services. According to CIC, Consumer products, especially high-tech products have high requirements on the transportation environment and timeliness, and thus stimulated the integrated air freight forwarding industry.

We expect to expand our presence to serve the prospering cross-border e-Commerce market. We plan to leverage our extensive delivery network and capabilities to strengthen our presence as a one-stop logistics service provider, by (i) acquiring/leasing different types of warehouses in Hong Kong and the United States, such as overseas bonded warehouses, distribution warehouses, logistics warehouses, and palletization warehouses, (ii) upgrading our existing IT system to respond to the demands of our customers, (iii) developing logistical solutions to manage each step of the shipping of small parcels common in cross-border e-Commerce B2C transactions, and (iv) expanding our network amongst local partners in our target markets to increase our route portfolio and market coverage, and enhance our door-to-door small parcel delivery capacity.

Expand operations to the United States

According to the CIC Report, the air freight forwarding industry in the United States recorded a growth at a CAGR of 20.2% from 2016 to 2020, and is expected to continue to grow at a CAGR of 12.3% from 2020 to 2025, indicating a vast opportunity for us to expand our reach to customers who require export and import service from the United States. Our revenue from freight forwarding services for export shipments to the United States contributed to US$56.3 million, US$107.7 million, US$75.2 million and US$122.3 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023, representing 81.3%, 82.8%, 77.3% and 87.4% of our total export revenue during the same year or period. We intend to take advantage of our existing market presence in the United States by growing our United States import capabilities, linked to our inbound exports, as well as establishing United States domestic export capabilities. We plan to establish offices and warehouses in various major cities of the United States and enhance our cooperation and link-up with local ground logistics providers, such as USPS, FedEx, and DHL, to tap into new pool of customers who require air export freight forwarding services and to provide one-stop service.

The expansion plan to the U.S. market will follow a step-by-step approach. The initial step will be looking for local partners that have logistic infrastructure and warehouse facilities, of which the cash requirements are relatively light. We plan to use up to 20% of the funds raised in the equity market for this long term plan in the U.S.

Pursue strategic alliances and select acquisition opportunities

The market of freight forwarding and logistics services is very fragmented in Hong Kong, which presents potential opportunities for further market consolidation and realization of economies of scale. We aim to selectively form additional strategic alliances with overseas logistics companies and other partners that bring synergies with our existing business. We also plan to selectively pursue acquisitions, investments, joint ventures and partnerships that are complementary to our business and operations. We will continue to work with domestic and international partners to grow our global coverage and broaden our service offerings in international markets. Through our Operating Subsidiaries, we target to further penetrate our existing markets by expanding our service offerings and enhancing our third-party logistics and fulfilment services, and expand into other countries and regions.

Enhance our smart integrated logistics systems

We plan to enhance our information technology system in relation to smart integrated supply chain services to improve our productivity and efficiency, better serve our cross-border e-Commerce customers, and facilitate the forecast in customers’ demand and adding more advanced supply chain management solutions.

The Platform Model system is expected to (i) provide integrated and real-time dynamic information; (ii) provide a user-friendly interface for our customers to log in to our system to check information of their bookings or cargo information; and (iii) be compatible to integrate with our warehousing system and the operation system of our customers (which shall be subject to the information technology service provider’s analysis on the system used by our customers and thus the feasibility of system integration). With the enhanced information technology system, we can collect, store, manage and interpret data from our business activities as it provides an integrated and continuously updated view of the core business processes. We believe that the enhanced information technology system can precisely analyze customer profiles and behavior (such as categorization of their shipments, seasonal demand and

historical booking pattern) based on comprehensive data which we expect will strengthen our customer management and facilitate data analysis on our procurement of cargo space and forecast of customer demand. We also believe that the upgraded system could enhance our workflow efficiency and facilitate our customers to handle and check with their shipments’ status, which in turn improves customer experience and encourages long-term business relationship with our customers.

Continue to improve operational efficiency and quality

We plan to continue to improve our operational capabilities and expand our capacity in the freight forwarding business by (i) enhancing technology infrastructure and synergies across our platform and network, (ii) expanding our sales and operation team, and (ii) hiring, training and retaining talent.

• As our network has achieved critical scale, we will continue to enhance our technology infrastructure and synergies across our platform and the network with local partners to streamline our operations to lower transportation, labor and other operating costs. We will also continue to innovate and standardize operating procedures to enhance reliability, efficiency and service quality.

• We will further expand our sales and operation team. We believe that our continuous business growth is attributable to the effort of our experienced sales team. With the organic growth of service and the contemplated expansion to the United States market, we intend to further expand our sales team in order to further our global marketing effort, especially in the United States market. We intend to recruit suitable candidates with at least five years freight forwarding industry experience and with strong clientele network.

• We will continue to hire, train and retain the best talent to reinforce our innovative culture. We will continue to invest in research and development and strengthen our technology infrastructure to enhance scalability, service quality and operational efficiency. We will introduce new services and solutions to service cross-border e-Commerce, B2C services and door to door service, as a one stop service provider to capture more business opportunities and increase customer loyalty.

Our Business Operation and Workflow

The Workflow of Freight Forwarding Services

The following workflow illustrates the general operation process of our air freight and ocean freight export shipments:

• Providing quotation upon receiving the booking instructions. Our customers send us booking instructions containing details such as shipping method, destination, type, dimension, weight and quantity of consignment and expected date of arrival. Upon receipt, we will provide customers with quotations according to the rates lists (based on weight of goods) provided by our suppliers plus a margin for our services.

• Making a booking with our supplier. If our customers accept the quotations, we will make bookings with our suppliers by lodging a standardized booking form containing details of our customer’s booking. We will select our cargo space suppliers for each shipment by taking into account of various factors, such as rate, delivery schedule and availability of cargo space. We arrange cargo pickup from the customers if so requested.

Table of Contents

• Off-airport air cargo security screening. Once the shipment arrives at our warehousing service provider’s warehouse, the cargo consignment will undergo cargo acceptance procedures (including documentation and appearance check). Upon completion of acceptance check, the cargo consignment will be screened through our x-ray screening facility. We obtain a security screening receipt (which serves as a document proof that the cargo has been screened) from AVSECO (being the RACSF Operator) if the consignment has been cleared by security screening. The screened cargo consignment will then be further processed and secured against unauthorized access before being loaded onto trucks.

• Consolidation/Co-Loading/Bulk. In general, we (i) consolidate cargoes from different customers at the designated warehouse in order to optimize utilization of cargo space, (ii) co-load cargo with other freight forwarders, or (iii) handle the cargo in bulk. Consolidation is the process by which a number of consignments of goods of different weights, volumes and sizes are grouped or packed together in a unit load device for carriage in order to optimize utilization of cargo space on transportation vehicles (aircraft or vessels). Co-loading refers to the sharing of space in a unit load device by one or more freight forwarders.

Pursuant to the block space arrangements and aircraft charter agreements, we are committed to paying the agreed cargo space irrespective of whether we could fully utilize the allotted space. In case our cargo space could not be filled up by our own direct shippers before a scheduled flight or vessel departs, we shall offer cargo space in excess to other freight forwarders in order to optimize the utilization of cargo space. On the other hand, in case other freight forwarders have empty space in their container, we may co-load with other freight forwarders and purchase their cargo space at a more competitive price, which allows us to reduce our cost of services. The benefits of co-loading include the splitting of the freight charges of the trip among other freight forwarders and thus saving costs. It is therefore common for the freight forwarders to co-load the shipments with other market players.

Palletization forms part of consolidation, whereby cargoes are bundled in a unit load device before they are loaded onto an aircraft. We engage contractors for palletizing cargoes at our warehousing service provider’s warehouse. Our operation and warehousing team are responsible for monitoring the palletization at the warehouse. After being properly packaged with tamper-evident seals (or other means of protection against unlawful interference), the palletized air cargo consignments will be loaded onto trucks for transporting to the airport.

• Preparation of Shipping Documents: Issuance of master airway bill/master bill of lading and invoice. After a booking is acknowledged by our suppliers, our operation teams will prepare master airway bill (for shipment by air) or master bill of lading (for shipment by ocean) and cargo manifest before the shipment is loaded on board. Our operation teams will also issue an invoice and, when necessary, a house airway bill or a house bill of lading to our customer on the date when shipment is loaded on board the departing aircraft or vessel.

• Pre-Alert. Our operation teams will send a full set of documents (including a copy of commercial invoice between shipper and consignee, packing list, master airway bill or master bill of lading and/or house airway bill or house bill of lading and cargo manifest) to the overseas freight forwarder agents or our customers for preparation of import customs clearance and cargo release to the consignee at respective destination of the shipments.

• Delivery. It is generally the primary responsibility of our customers to prepare proper documentation for the relevant customs declaration before the cargo is imported to, or exported out of Hong Kong. However, upon request by our customers, we may assist our customers in the preparation of relevant customs declaration on their behalf. For the foreign customs clearance, it is usually for the consignee itself to perform, but we may also engage overseas freight forwarder agents to perform the customs clearance upon request of our customers. In any case, our customers bear the primary responsibility to provide the purchase orders, commercial invoices, airway bills or bills of lading as supporting documents for the contents of the cargoes. For port-to-port shipment, upon arrival at the port of destination, our customer will arrange cargo pick up on their own. For door-to-door shipment, we will arrange transportation services for our customers through our overseas freight forwarder agents.

Procurement of Cargo Space

We obtain cargo space directly from airlines, shipping liners or other freight forwarders suppliers through various arrangements. These include direct booking, block space arrangements and aircraft charter arrangements.

For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023 and up to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, our block space and aircraft charter arrangement mainly involved outbound flights from Hong Kong to North America and Southeast Asia. We believe that these arrangements allow us to secure a reliable supply of cargo space to meet the needs of our customers. Throughout these periods, we have not breached any of our block space agreements and aircraft charter agreements with our suppliers, including terms related to the payment of agreed cargo space, in any material aspect.

Direct Booking

Under the direct booking arrangement, we purchase cargo space directly from airlines, shipping liners, and other freight forwarders without entering into fixed-term agreements. The charges we pay to these suppliers generally include freight charges, terminal handling charges, fuel surcharges, security charges, and miscellaneous items. For air cargo space, suppliers typically charge us based on the chargeable weight of the cargo at the prevailing market price. Ocean cargo space is typically sold to us at a fixed price per unit load device.

Block Space Arrangement

Block space arrangements involve fixed-term agreements with airlines for continuous reservation of cargo space on regular routing flights, while aircraft charter arrangements involve procuring cargo space with airlines for specific unscheduled flights. These arrangements allow us to secure a stable supply of cargo space to meet our customers’ needs.

We generally adopt a prudent approach when entering block space agreements. We enter into these agreements based on our estimation of customer demand for cargo space to secure it at an earlier stage. These block space agreements enable us to procure a committed amount of cargo space from our suppliers for a specific period of time at a pre-agreed price.

Under our block space arrangements, we have a commitment to pay our suppliers for a specified amount of cargo space based on weight and number of airline contours, regardless of space utilization. If we fail to meet this commitment, we will be charged for the shortfall at an agreed-upon rate. However, in recent years, we either have successfully met our commitment or received grace periods from suppliers to fill any shortfall, resulting in minimal impact on our cost of revenue. If an operator cancels or delays a flight, they are not held responsible for any losses we may incur. Generally, we are responsible for applicable terminal service charges and other local/destination fees.

The terms of each block space agreement entered with the suppliers may vary, but they typically include terms as follows:

Duration:		Normally ranging from months to not more than one year.
Tonnage and rates:		An agreed level of cargo space (in terms of tonnage and/or space allocation) for each month to certain outbound routes or for certain flight schedules at pre-determined prices.
Liability:		If the minimum allotted space under the block space agreement is not fully utilized, we are still responsible to pay for: (i) freight charges (including other surcharges such as fuel surcharge and security surcharge) based on the agreed level of cargo space; or (ii) cancellation fee (in addition to other surcharges such as fuel surcharge), based on the agreed level of cargo space.
Deposit:		Some suppliers may require us to make a certain amount of deposit before the flight departure date.

From time to time, we would evaluate whether the pre-determined prices under the block space arrangement are more competitive than direct booking from our suppliers. If the pre-determined prices under the previous block space arrangement are found to be higher than the then freight charges through direct booking, we would not renew the block space arrangement with the suppliers or we may re-negotiate for a more competitive price.

Aircraft Charter Arrangement

In contrast to regular routing flights which may require multiple connections and layovers, charter flights are characterized by their one-off nature and flexibility in terms of scheduling, routing and ports selection. A charterer(s) may rent a full charter by itself or partial charter through a consortium and decide on the departure/arrival time and destinations. Under aircraft charter arrangements, we purchase cargo space for a charter for a specified flight schedule and route at a charter price. The procurement of cargo space under aircraft charter arrangement generally contains the following terms:

Charter specification:		Routing, flight schedule, type or configuration of the aircraft, loading capacity/committed tonnage, charter price per chartered flight.
Payment terms and deposit:		The charter price shall be settled in full prior to the chartered flight departure date.
Cancellation fee:		Normally, 50% or 100% of the charter price (depending on the number of days between the cancellation date and the chartered flight departure date)

Our Suppliers

Our suppliers consist mainly of airlines, shipping liners, and other freight forwarders who provide us with cargo space, as well as ancillary service providers who offer logistics-related services, warehousing services, local and overseas transportation services, and RASCF screening services.

For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023, our cost of revenue attributable to our largest supplier amounted to approximately US$17.3 million, US$12.1 million and US$17.6 million, respectively, representing approximately 15.4%, 13.6% and 13.8% of our total cost of revenue of the corresponding period. The top five suppliers of the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023 accounted for approximately 52.2%, 44.1% and 45.0% of the total cost of revenue, respectively.

When selecting our suppliers, we consider factors such as the booking instructions from our customers (including destination, weight and quantity of consignment and expected date of arrival), market supply of cargo space, quotations from suppliers, and our business relationships with the suppliers. We have access to multiple alternative suppliers in the market which specialize in various export destinations and can supply cargo space at comparable market prices, ensuring that we can purchase cargo space without difficulty.

Other ancillary service providers

If requested by our customers, we can arrange ancillary logistics services and warehousing-related services to support our freight forwarding services. These services may include cargo pickup, cargo handling, cargo handling at ports, local transportation, repackaging, labeling, palletization, preparation of shipping documentation, customs clearance, and warehousing. We did not enter into any long-term written service agreements with any service providers during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023 and we did not experience any material non-performance incident or quality dispute with our service providers causing material disruption to our operations.

Credit period

Typically, we have a short credit period for purchasing cargo space from airlines, while we provide our customers with a credit period of up to 45 days. For charter flights, we often require full or partial payment in advance from customers. Payments for charter flights must be made in full and in advance, usually ranging from two to ten days before the flight’s departure. Our purchases are settled through checks and bank remittances.

Table of Contents

Bank Guarantees

Depending on the amount of cargo and airline policies, freight forwarders may be required to provide bank guarantees in favor of airlines or shipping liners to secure purchases of cargo space. The requirement for bank guarantees varies among suppliers, and our principal banks provide these guarantees, typically requiring collateral such as mortgage over properties or bank deposits to be pledged in favor of our banks. When a bank guarantee is provided, our suppliers generally have the right from time to time by giving notice in writing to require us to increase the amount of guarantee if the cargo space purchased by us is greater than the existing guaranteed sum. Our bank guarantees are generally renewed on a yearly basis. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023 and as at the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, no enforcement of bank guarantees was made by our suppliers against us.

Our Customers

Our customers are primarily peer freight forwarders as well as direct customers (i.e., customers that book their consignments directly with us, for example, e-Commerce shop owners and manufacturers which ship their products to end customers through integrated logistics services directly with us, also buyers of goods who arrange shipment by themselves). During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023, we worked with over 500 customers accumulatively, of which freight forwarders accounted for approximately 98.9%, 98.3% and 99.6% of our total revenue for the respective year. Our top five customers, based on revenue, accounted for approximately 62.2%, 72.6% and 75.0% of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023, with our single largest customer accounting for 40.5%, 59.7% and 69.3% of our total revenues over the same year, respectively. For our top five customers, we are also their major provider of services, for which our relationships are mutually beneficial and stable. See “Risk Factors — We derive a significant portion of our revenue from few major customers with whom we do not enter into long-term contracts, the loss of one or more of which could have a material adverse effect on our business.”

Due to our usual process of co-loading, in which we purchase cargo space from as well as sharing spare capacities with our peer freight forwarders, some of our suppliers and customers may overlap. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023, a total of 98, 60 and 98 of our customers were also our suppliers, respectively.

In line with the industry practice, we generally do not enter into any long-term agreement with our customers for freight forwarding services. We generally do not have specific agreement with our customers regarding liability for damage of goods during transit. However, we maintain specialized freight forwarder’s liability insurance policies to cover cargo transportation losses and freight forwarder errors and omissions. See “–– Insurance” for details of our insurance coverage. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023, we did not encounter any incident relating to liability for damage of goods of a material nature.

Credit policy

For freight forwarder customers, we typically grant an average credit period of up to 45 days, except for charter flights where payment is often required in full or in part in advance. Direct customers are usually required to settle the full amount upon invoice issuance. Our invoices are generally settled by cheque or telegraphic transfer in HKD, RMB or USD. Credit terms granted to customers vary on a case-by-case basis, depending on factors such as reputation, credibility, payment history, and business relationships. We periodically review credit terms and payment records and make adjustments as necessary. We also closely monitor any outstanding overdue amounts and take measures to collect any outstanding amounts. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023, we did not experience any material difficulty in collecting payment from our customers.

Sales and Marketing

We have maintained strong and stable business relationships with our existing customers. Our consistent efforts to develop our business, along with the quality of our services and our reputation, will help us attract new customers.

Our sales team has actively engaged with potential customers and managed existing customers, utilizing our established global networks, connections, and local partnerships that have been cultivated since 1993. Through word-of-mouth, our existing customers often refer new customers to us. Our Operating Subsidiaries are members and users of Global Logistics Associates (GLA), JCtrans Network and WCAworld, which are three of the largest

189

Table of Contents

independent freight forwarder networks in the world. As members and users, we will appear in their journals and catalogs, making us visible to potential customers. We believe that being part of such highly regarded networks of freight forwarders and other industry participants allows us to diversify and expand our supplier and customer bases. Additionally, we actively participate in various trade fairs and exhibitions such as the Asian Logistics, Maritime, and Aviation Conference to effectively promote our services to customers.

Pricing Strategy

Our final freight rates are determined by considering several factors as follows:

• market supply of and demand in the cargo space;

• shipment figure (weight and density of cargo);

• business relationship with the customer;

• freight charges (including purchase cost for cargo space and the surcharge such as terminal charges and fuel charges);

• rates offered by our competitors;

• the possibility of consolidation of cargo space or co-loading;

• seasonality; and

• any ancillary logistics services required.

Customer Services

Our customer service team handles general enquiries, complaints and feedback from customers. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023 and up to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, we did not receive any complaint or claim from our customers in relation to our services that would have a material impact on our business and operations.

Seasonality

Our peak season typically occurs from October to December, driven by festive events and discount promotions such as Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Conversely, during the Lunar Year holiday, usually in January or February, we experience lower shipment volumes and revenue due to reduced business activities in Mainland China. Accordingly, comparison of sales and operating results from different periods in any given financial year may not be relied upon as indicators of our performance. It is widely understood in the industry that these seasonal trends are influenced by a number of factors, including weather patterns, national holidays, economic conditions, consumer demand, major product launches, as well as a number of other market forces. Since many of these trends are subject to unforeseen circumstances, and we cannot provide assurances that these seasonal trends will continue.

Insurance

Pursuant to paragraph 16.1 of the Hong Kong Association of Freight Forwarding and Logistics Ltd Standard Trading Conditions (HAFFA STCs), we are not required to arrange any insurance except on express written instructions given by the customer and accepted by us in writing. We maintain Freight Forwarder Liability Insurance (also known as the Forwarder Protect Liability Insurance) policies against cargo transportation losses and freight forwarder errors and omissions. We are not liable for any damage or loss to our customers’ goods unless such damage or loss is caused by our negligence. We also maintain cargo transportation liability insurance policies against loss damage liability or expense of the shipments, if so requested by our customers. While we are liable for the damage or loss to our customers’ goods, claims against us from our customers are covered by the Freight Forwarder Liability Insurance policies we maintain as described above. We also maintain insurance coverage of employee’s compensation, business interruption and public liability insurance. We believe that the insurance coverage taken out by us is in line with industry norms in Hong Kong and is adequate and sufficient for our operations.

Our Employees

As of December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023, our Operating Subsidiaries had a total of 35, 37 and 33 full-time employees, respectively:

Table of Contents

We believe that we offer our employees competitive compensation packages and a merit-based work environment that encourages initiative, and as a result, we have generally been able to attract and retain qualified personnel and maintain a stable core management team.

Our management considers our employees as key assets which play a pivotal role in our continuous growth. We believe that we maintain a good working relationship with our employees. During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023 and up to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, we have not experienced any major labor disputes, nor been involved in with any major labor disputes or claims against us.

Legal Proceedings

We may from time to time be subject to various legal or administrative claims and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business.

We are currently not a party to any material pending legal or administrative proceedings and are not aware of any events that are likely to lead to any such proceedings. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, we are not a party to, and we are not aware of any threat of, any legal proceeding that, in the opinion of our management, is likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operations, nor have we experienced any incident of non-compliance which, in the opinion of our directors, is likely to materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or operations. Litigation or any other legal or administrative proceeding, regardless of the outcome, is likely to result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources, including our management’s time and attention. For potential impact of legal or administrative proceedings on us, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to PSI’s Business and Industry — We may be subject to litigation and regulatory investigations and proceedings and may not always be successful in defending ourselves against such claims or proceedings.”

Internal Control and Risk Management

In order to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations and related policies in different operational aspects, we have established and adopted an internal control system, covering areas such as, among other things (i) financial reporting; (ii) freight cost and expenditure; (iii) cash and treasury management; (iv) human resources management; (v) risk management; and (vi) conflict of interest. In addition, we have a staff handbook, internal control and corporate governance manual which is required to be observed by all our directors and employees. We believe that our internal control system is sufficient and effective.

Health, Work Safety, Social and Environmental Matters

Due to the nature of tasks in the freight forwarding industry and the logistics industry which often involve carrying heavy objects and usage of machinery, workers are constantly subjected to risks of accidents or injuries. To mitigate such risks, we have set out a series of workplace safety rules in the staff manual for our staff to follow. During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023 and up to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there were no material accidents in the course of our business operation which gave rise to any claims and compensation paid to our employees. There were also no interruptions in our business which may or have had a significant effect on our financial position during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023 and up to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Due to the nature of our business, our operational activities are not subject to environmental obligations, and we did not directly incur any cost of compliance with applicable environmental protection rules and regulations. We expect that we will not directly incur significant costs for compliance with applicable environmental protection rules and regulations in the future.

REGULATIONS RELATED TO PSI

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to the “Company,” “Group,” “we,” “us,” “our” or “PSI” refer collectively to PSI Group Holdings Ltd and its direct and indirect subsidiaries prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.

Hong Kong Regulations

As we conduct business in Hong Kong, our business operations are subject to various regulations and rules promulgated by the Hong Kong government. The following is a brief summary of the Hong Kong laws and regulations that currently and materially affect our business. This section does not purport to be a comprehensive summary of all present and proposed regulations and legislation relating to the industries in which we operate.

Regulations Relating to Our Business

Business Registration Ordinance

Business Registration Ordinance (Chapter 310 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (the “BRO”) provides for the registration of businesses in Hong Kong. Business includes any form of trade, commerce, craftsmanship, profession, calling or other activity carried on for the purpose of gain and also means a club. Every company incorporated in Hong Kong or non-Hong Kong company registered under the Companies Ordinance (Chapter 622 of the Laws of Hong Kong) is deemed to be a person carrying on business and is required to be registered under the BRO. Pursuant to the BRO, every person (a company or an individual) carrying on a business in Hong Kong, other than those specifically exempted, shall make a business registration application to the Commissioner of Inland Revenue within one month of the commencement of the business and a valid business registration certificate shall be displayed at the place of business to which such certificate relates.

Dangerous Goods (Consignment by Air) (Safety) Ordinances and Dangerous Goods (Consignment by Air) (Safety) Regulations

The Dangerous Goods (Consignment by Air) (Safety) Ordinance (Chapter 384 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (the “DGCASO”) serves to control, in the interest of safety, the preparation, packing, marking, labelling and offering of dangerous goods for carriage by air, and for matters connected therewith. Dangerous Goods (Consignment by Air) (Safety) Regulations (Chapter 384A of the Laws of Hong Kong) (the “DGCASR”) was made under the DGCASO and must be complied with by consignors, which includes shippers and freight forwarders. Consignors must ensure that all dangerous goods are properly marked, packed, labelled, classified and documented before they offered for transportation by air.

Further, under the DGCASR, a consignor of dangerous goods by air is required to provide for each consignment a shipper’s declaration for dangerous goods, which must be signed by a person who completed appropriate dangerous good training within the past 24 months pursuant to Regulation 7 of the DGCASR.

The Convention of International Civil Aviation and the Aviation Security Ordinance

To safeguard aircraft against acts of unlawful interference, the International Civil Aviation Organisation has laid down standards and recommended practice in Annex 17 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation (the “CICA”) on the security measures required to be implemented by contracting states. For the security of air cargo to be in line with Annex 17 to the CICA, the Hong Kong Aviation Security Programme, which is enforceable under the Aviation Security Ordinance (Chapter 494 of the Laws of Hong Kong), has adopted the regulated agent regime (the “RAR”). As a result, the Aviation Security Ordinance made provisions for the prevention and suppression of acts of violence against civil air transport and for connected purposes, it constitutes the comprehensive legislation for implementation of the conventions and agreements on aviation security promulgated by the ICAO. A cargo handling agent, a freight forwarder or a consignor of air cargo may apply for registration as a who is required to comply with the requirements in respect of an RA in the Hong Kong Aviation Security Programme, in order to prevent the unauthorized carriage of explosives and incendiary devices in the consignments of cargo intended for carriage by air.

194

Table of Contents

Under the RAR, an RA is obliged, among other obligations, to ensure that the appropriate security controls acceptable by the Civil Aviation Department (the “CAD”) are properly implemented upon the acceptance of cargo for carriage by air unless the consignment is from a known consignor recognized by an RA and to ensure that a consignment of cargo is safeguarded against unauthorized interference after its reception and to make best endeavors to protect it from unauthorized interference until the consignment is accepted by another RA or an airline.

An RA shall also ensure that a consignment of cargo accepted from a known consignor or another RA is: (i) accompanied by a full description of the contents in the shipping documents (e.g. airway bills, cargo manifests or shipper’s instructions), that the RA’s registration code or the known consignor’s code on the shipping documents of the consignment is checked; (ii) checked against the description in the shipping documents in respect of the quantity of cargo tendered and any sign of the package having been tampered with; (iii) declared as known cargo by checking the annotation of the tendering RA’s registration code or otherwise stated as unknown cargo on shipping documents in inter-RA’s handling; and (iv) safeguarded from unauthorized interference after it has been received until accepted by the next RA or an airline, or until loaded on to an aircraft. Given the Group is an RA, we have duly carried out the aforementioned obligations during our ordinary course of business.

On September 1, 2016, the ICAO has introduced a new policy direction to progressively increase the required screening percentage of known cargoes consigned by existing consignors which have not been approved by the CAD, from 1% to 100% before the deadline imposed by ICAO (30 June 2021). In order to fully implement such new policy direction, the CAD has developed a transitional arrangement for the registered agents, namely, (i) from January 2020 to April 2020, prior to the air cargo being loaded onboard, all registered agents will be required to screen 25% of their cargo tendered by consignors not approved by the CAD; (ii) from May 2020 to August 2020, the required screening percentage will be increased to 40%; (iii) from September 2020 to February 2021, the screening percentage will be increased to 70%; and (iv) from March 2021 to June 2021, the screening percentage will be further increased to 100%. In anticipation of an upsurge in screening demand, a regulated air cargo screening facilities scheme which enables and regulates air cargo screening at off-airport locations has been formulated. Any entity which intends to conduct air cargo security screening operations in their premises may apply for acceptance by the CAD to become a regulated air cargo screening facility (“RACSF”). Each RACSF must have at least two nominated persons for cargo security who have attended and completed the RACSF training program acceptable to the CAD. The relevant training certificates are valid for a period of three years, hence, the relevant RACSF should arrange for revalidation of the same by their expiry. As the Group conducts air cargo security screening operations in the Tsing Yi Warehouse from 2021 until August of 2022, the Group was required and duly registered the Tsing Yi Warehouse as the RACSF with the CAD. The Group engaged independent third party as a screening service provider to provide qualified manpower (the security screeners) to perform cargo screening using our off-airport x-ray screening machines and facilities on site in the Tsing Yi Warehouse. In August 2022, we surrendered the lease of the Tsing Yi Warehouse and the air cargo security screening is no longer performed in the Group’s premise since then.

Telecommunications Ordinance

Under the Telecommunications Ordinance (Chapter 106 of the Laws of Hong Kong), companies possessing and dealing in the course of trade or business in apparatus or material for radio communications or in any component parts in Hong Kong, are required to obtain a Radio Dealers Licence (Unrestricted) from Office of the Communications Authority (“OFCA”). Under the Radio Dealers Licence (Unrestricted), the licensee is permitted to (i) deal in radiocommunications apparatus and (ii) import into or export from Hong Kong radio transmitting apparatus pursuant to section 9 of the Telecommunications Ordinance. A Radio Dealers Licence (Unrestricted) is generally valid for a period of 12 months, and is renewable on payment of the prescribed fee, at the discretion of OFCA. Given the Group provides storage services to the customers in Hong Kong, we may fall within the ambit of the Telecommunications Ordinance and have duly obtained the Radio Dealers Licence (Unrestricted) from the OFCA.

International Conventions — Carriage of Goods by Air

In relation to carriage of goods by air, the relevant international conventions are the Warsaw Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules Relating to International Carriage by Air 1929 (the “Warsaw Convention”) and the Montreal Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules for International Carriage by Air 1999 (the “Montreal Convention”).

Table of Contents

The Warsaw Convention

The Warsaw Convention was an international convention which regulates liability for international carriage of persons, luggage or goods performed by aircraft for reward. It was originally signed in 1929 in Warsaw and was amended in 1955 by the Hague Protocol. Hong Kong still applies the Amended Warsaw Convention to international air carriages with countries that have adopted the Amended Warsaw Convention but not the Montreal Convention.

The Montreal Convention and the Carriage by Air Ordinance

The Montreal Convention was designed to establish worldwide uniformity in liability rules governing air carriage of person, baggage and cargo for compensation between two countries which are parties to it. Hong Kong ratified the Montreal Convention on 15 December 2006. The Montreal Convention was put into force in Hong Kong under the Carriage by Air Ordinance (Chapter 500 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (the “CAO”).

The provisions of the Montreal Convention, as set out in Schedule 1A of the CAO, so far as they relate to the rights and liabilities of carriers, carriers’ servants and agents, passengers, consignors, consignees and other persons, and subject to the CAO, have the force of law in relation to any carriage by air to which the Montreal Convention applies, irrespective of the nationality of the aircraft performing that carriage.

Article 18 of the Montreal Convention determines the extent of the carriers’ liability during carriage of cargoes. Article 18(1) states that the carrier is liable for damage sustained in the vent of the destruction or loss of, or damage to, cargo upon condition only that the event which caused the damage so sustained took place during the carriage by air. Article 18(2) provides the following four defences to the carrier:

(a) inherent defect, quality or vice of that cargo;

(b) defective packing of that cargo performed by a person other than the carrier or its servants or agents;

(d) an act of public authority carried out in connection with the entry, exit or transit of the cargo.

Radiation Ordinance

The Radiation Ordinance (Chapter 303 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (the “RO”) controls the import, export, possession and use of radioactive substances and irradiating apparatus and the prospecting and mining for radioactive minerals and for purposes connected therewith. No person shall, except under and in accordance with a licence duly issued under the RO, have in his possession or use, any radioactive substance or irradiating apparatus. As the Group owns and operates certain apparatuses used for the provision of x-ray screening services to our customers, the use of which fall within the ambit of the RO, the Group is required and has duly obtained an irradiating apparatus licence in accordance with RO.

Regulations Relating to Import and Export

Import and Export Ordinance (Chapter 60 of the Laws of Hong Kong)

Importing and exporting cargo

Import and Export Ordinance (Chapter 60 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (the “IEO”) provides regulation and control of the import of articles into Hong Kong, the export of articles from Hong Kong, the handling and carriage of articles within Hong Kong which have been imported into Hong Kong or which may be exported from Hong Kong, and any matter incidental to or connected with the foregoing.

Shipping companies, airlines and freight forwarders registered under the Transhipment Cargo Exemption Scheme (the “TCES”) are, subject to certain conditions, exempted from import and export licensing requirements in respect of transhipment cargos handled by them. Transhipment cargos means any imported articles that (i) is consigned on a

Given the Group has obtained a valid certificate of exemption issued by the Trade and Industry Department under the TCES, we are exempted from licensing requirements under the IEO in respect of certain types of transhipment cargo set out in relevant circulars or letters which may be issued by the Trade and Industry Department.

Import and Export (Registration) Regulations (Chapter 60E of the Laws of Hong Kong)

Import and Export (Registration) Regulations (Chapter 60E of the Laws of Hong Kong) (the “IAE Registration Regulations”) was made under the IEO, Regulations 4 and 5 of the IAE Registration Regulations set out that every person who imports or exports any article other than an exempted article shall lodge with the Commissioner of Customs and Excise an accurate and complete import or export declaration relating to such article using services provided by a specified body, in accordance with the requirements that the Commissioner of Customs and Excise may specify.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF PSI

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to “PSI,” the “Company,” the “Group,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer collectively to PSI Group Holdings Ltd and its subsidiaries prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the historical audited financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023, and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business and related financing, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, as a result of various factors, including those set forth under the “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements” sections and elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus,

Overview

PSI is a long-established global logistics and supply chain solution provider, specialized in air freight forwarding services, connecting businesses from Asian transportation hubs to the US and the rest of the world. We operate through our Operating Subsidiaries in Hong Kong, namely Profit Sail Int’l Express (H.K.) Limited and Business Great Global Supply Chain Limited, which derive revenue from air freight forwarding services, ocean freight forwarding services and supply chain ancillary services.

We are a renowned air freight and end-to-end supply chain solution providers in Hong Kong, with a focus on providing cross border logistics services. According to the CIC Report, in 2020, we ranked the sixth among 1,300 Tier-2 freight forwarders in Hong Kong, in terms of revenue. Based in Hong Kong, a prominent logistics hub in Asia, we benefit from geographical advantages in providing integrated solutions that combine ocean, air, and overland logistics. This well-connected transportation network significantly enhances our operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Despite the macroeconomic shocks following the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to abnormal interruptions in our business trajectory, we managed to achieve significant growth in revenues. Our revenue grew from US$71.0 million in 2020 to a peak of US$130.9 million in 2021, and adjusted to US$97.3 million in 2022 amidst challenging conditions. These fluctuations reflect the volatile market conditions influenced by the pandemic but also underscore our ability to navigate through these disruptions effectively.

The year ended December 31, 2022 presented significant challenges for the entire logistics industry in Hong Kong. Regional COVID-19 outbreaks in Shenzhen significantly disrupted shipments originated from Mainland China. Additionally, a global decline in demand for goods and commodities caused by an economic downturn following the COVID-19 pandemic further strained the industry. Meanwhile, air freight rates surged as airlines attempted to recoup operational margin lost during the pandemic. The combination of factors had an adverse impact on our net profitability in 2022, with net profit decreasing to US$2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 from the high of US$12.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Despite these challenges, it is noteworthy that we maintained profitability throughout this turbulent period. Moreover, our profit more than doubled from US$3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to a peak at US$12.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, highlighting our ability to adapt and positively respond to uncertain economic conditions.

In light of the exceptional circumstances of the pandemic disruptions between 2021 and 2022, we included comparisons of financial results for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2020 in the subsequent section titled “Period to Period Comparison of Our Results of Operations”. We believe that such comparison offers valuable insights as it spans the entire spectrum of the pandemic’s impact, from initial disruptions to subsequent recovery phases, providing a clear view of our operational resilience and strategic adaptability. By examining these contrasting periods, stakeholders can better understand our long-term operational stability and our ability to manage business fluctuations in a challenging global environment.

Looking to the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, we observed a robust recovery. Our revenue increased by 45.2%, from US$97.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to US$140.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, while our net profit rose by 88.5% from US$2.4 million to US$4.6 million for the same periods. These improvements not only reflect our capacity to overcome market fluctuations but also signify our continued growth trajectory.

Our ability to adapt quickly to changing market conditions, combined with our strategic location and comprehensive service offerings, has enabled us to maintain a strong competitive position in the global logistics and supply chain industry. We remain committed to leveraging our core competencies to sustain growth and enhance shareholder value.

Key Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

We believe that our operational performance and financial condition depend on several key factors, including those discussed below and other factors in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Risk Factors.”

Trade war or restrictions

Our revenue from freight forwarding services for export shipments to the United States contributed to US$56.3 million, US$107.7 million, US$75.2 million and US$122.3 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023, representing 81.3%, 82.8%, 77.3% and 87.4% of our total export revenue during the same periods. Also, a significant portion of our business originates from customers in Mainland China and therefore depends on the level of imports and exports to and from Mainland China. Therefore, we are subject to risks related to the changes in trade policies, tariff regulations, embargoes, or other trade restrictions adverse to our customers’ business or that cause our customers’ respective customers to manufacture in other regions for export. Tariffs restrictions imposed by the United States on China exports intensified during 2019 which resulted in a negative impact to the international trading activities globally and have attributed to the overall decrease in the cargo shipment volume of Hong Kong. Although an agreement was entered into between the United States and China on January 15, 2020, to suspend certain planned tariff, the situation remains dynamic. Our results of operation may be adversely affected if the trade war or restrictions further intensify, whether in the form of embargo, tariff, or otherwise, and may further affect the relationship between the United States and China or more countries in the future.

Economic conditions in Hong Kong and Mainland China

All of our operations are located in Hong Kong. Accordingly, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced to a significant degree by political, economic and social conditions in Hong Kong and Mainland China generally and by continued economic growth in Hong Kong and Mainland China as a whole. Economic conditions in Hong Kong and Mainland China are sensitive to global economic conditions. Any prolonged slowdown in the global or Chinese economy may affect potential customers’ confidence in financial market as a whole and have a negative impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Seasonality

Our peak season is generally from October to December, which is driven by festive events and discount promotions such as Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Eve in the United States and Europe. Moreover, we recorded relatively lower volume of shipment and thus relatively lower revenue during Lunar New Year (normally in January or February) owing to fewer business activities of manufacturers and shippers in Mainland China in Lunar New Year, resulting in a decrease in the demand of freight forwarding services. Accordingly, comparison of sales and operating results from different periods in any given financial year may not be relied upon as indicators of our performance. It is widely understood in the industry that these seasonal trends are influenced by a number of factors, including weather patterns, national holidays, economic conditions, consumer demand, major product launches, as well as a number of other market forces. Since many of these forces are unforeseen there is no way for us to provide assurances that these seasonal trends will continue.

The demand for cargo space is easily affected by unpredictable factors

A significant majority of our revenue is generated from air freight export from Hong Kong and Mainland China and organizing shipments primarily to North America, Europe, Asia and Southeast Asia. Our results of operations are thus affected by global trade volume and export volume of Hong Kong. We are sensitive to changes in regional and/or global political and economic conditions that impact the locations in which goods are manufactured, customer shipping volumes, industry freight demand and demand for cargo space. The transportation industry historically has experienced cyclical fluctuations due to economic recession, level of international trade activities, downturns in business cycles of our customers, interest and currency rate fluctuations, inflation, trade restrictions, economic sanctions, trade disputes, boycotts, outbreak of wars, changes in regulatory regimes and extreme weather conditions, all of which are beyond our control and the nature, timing and degree of which are largely unpredictable. Any decrease in demand for our services due to cyclical downturns could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Infrastructure development

The ongoing development and investment in infrastructure projects in Hong Kong and Mainland China, such as ports, airports, and transportation networks, can have both positive and negative effects on our business. Improved infrastructure can help us better serve our clients, while increased competition, such as increased cargo shipment capacity directly from Mainland China to end markets, without passing through Hong Kong, might pose challenges to our market share and profitability.

Impact of Macroeconomic Factors and COVID-19 Recovery

Post pandemic slowdown globally and regional conflicts in Europe and the Middle East have caused supply chain disruptions and challenges for many companies.

In 2022, the major challenge to our operation was the surge in the number of coronavirus cases in Mainland China and the resultant lockdown in major cities, including Shenzhen and Shanghai, which interrupted the supply chain and adversely affected our capacity to provide air freight forwarding services as usual. In particular, our shipments originated from Mainland China were temporarily interrupted due to trucking shortages as a result of the outbreak in Shenzhen in early March 2022 and the implementation of border control and various lockdown measures. Subsequently, the transportation of goods between ports and from factories to ports was temporarily interrupted and our shipment volume in the first quarter of 2022 declined significantly compared to 2021. To mitigate the adverse impact, we continuously monitored the development of the pandemic and communicated closely with our customers and suppliers to adjust our service planning timely. For instance, we (i) liaised with customers and assisted them in arranging delivery of products from Mainland China to Hong Kong through sea transportation during times of trucking shortage; (ii) maintained close communications with other freight forwarders on more flexible and efficient co-loading arrangement so as to optimize the utilization of cargo space on transportation vehicles; and (iii) timely communicated with customers on the latest status and flexibly arranged and prioritized the delivery schedule based on the urgency of orders.

Going forward, we plan to continue to (i) seek alternatives to road transportation, such as sea and air freight, during times of trucking shortage; (ii) seek alternative ports for transportation to enable a timely arrangement when there is congestion in one port; (iii) maintain close communication with customers and other freight forwarders and ensure timely response to any potential supply chain disruption; and (iv) enhance and diversify our customer base to cover more geographical locations and reduce our reliance on customers from any particular areas.

Furthermore, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and recent Israel-Hamas conflict also adversely affected global economic markets, and the uncertain outcomes of these conflicts could result in protracted damage to the global economy, and such effect could in turn have a material adverse effect on the operations, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and outlook of our business.
