PROXY STATEMENT FOR EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF

DT CLOUD STAR ACQUISITION CORPORATION

(A CAYMAN ISLANDS EXEMPTED COMPANY)

AND

PROSPECTUS FOR UP TO 57,885,247 SHARES OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK

AND

UP TO 1,931,900 NON-REDEMPTION WARRANTS

OF

DTSQ PURCHASER INC.

 

(TO BE RENAMED “PRIMEGEN HOLDINGS, INC.” EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING

THE CONSUMMATION OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION DESCRIBED HEREIN)

 

The board of directors of DT Cloud Star Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“DTCS”, “SPAC” or “Parent”), has unanimously approved, and determined to be in the best interests of DTCS and its shareholders (“you”), to consummate a business combination (the “Business Combination”) with PrimeGen US, Inc., a Delaware corporation (referred to herein prior to the Business Combination as “PGUS”), pursuant to a business combination agreement (as it may be amended in the future, the “Business Combination Agreement”) among DTCS, DTSQ Purchaser Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of DTCS (“Purchaser,” and upon the closing of the Business Combination, “Pubco”), DTSQ Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of DTCS (“Merger Sub”, together with DTCS and Purchaser, the “Parent Parties”), and PGUS).

 

The parties entered into the Business Combination Agreement on February 2, 2026 (the “Signing Date”); a copy of the Business Combination Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, Purchaser will become the publicly traded sole stockholder of PGUS, and substantially all of the assets and the business of the combined company will be held and operated by PGUS, as more fully described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

 

The terms of the Business Combination Agreement provide, among other things, that: (1) DTCS will merge with and into Purchaser, with Purchaser becoming the surviving company referred to herein as “Pubco” (the “Redomestication Merger”) in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) and the Companies Act (as revised) of the Cayman Islands (the “Companies Act”), and (2) thereafter, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into PGUS, with PGUS becoming the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (the “Acquisition Merger”, together with the Redomestication Merger, the “Mergers”). Effective immediately upon the consummation of the Redomestication Merger, Pubco will be renamed “PrimeGen Holdings, Inc.”

 

At the Redomestication Merger Effective Time, Pubco shall issue warrants to purchase a total of an additional 1,931,900 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock (the “Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants”) to (x) those Public Shareholders which, as of a time immediately prior to the Redomestication Merger Effective Time, have not tendered their DTCS Ordinary Shares at the Redemption and (y) all other holders of DTCS Ordinary Shares as of a time immediately prior to the Redomestication Merger (including, without limitation, the Sponsor (as defined below), other Insiders and holders of other DTCS Ordinary Shares that are not Public Shares) (each, an “Eligible Warrant Recipient”). The DTCS Ordinary Shares held by the Eligible Warrant Recipients are hereby referred to as the

 

 
 

 

“Eligible Parent Ordinary Shares.” For the avoidance of doubt, no Public Shareholder that has delivered to DTCS a notice of intention to exercise its right of Redemption prior to the DTCS extraordinary general meeting shall have the right to receive Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants. The Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants shall (a) have an exercise price of $2.00 per share of Pubco Class A Common Stock, and (b) shall be exercisable starting on the six month anniversary of the Closing Date and for a period of eighteen months thereafter. Upon the effectiveness of Redomestication Merger, each Eligible Warrant Recipient shall receive a number of Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants determined by the following formula:

 

# of Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants = (Number of Eligible Parent Ordinary Shares Owned by Eligible Warrant Recipient/Total Number of Eligible Parent Ordinary Shares) X (1,931,900)

 

For the avoidance of doubt, “Eligible Parent Ordinary Shares” includes the DTCS Ordinary Shares plus the DTCS Ordinary Shares contained within the DTCS Units.

 

If you choose not to redeem your shares, then at the Redomestication Merger, you will receive a number of Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants determined pursuant to the above calculation. If you choose to redeem your shares, you will not receive any Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants.

 

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the consideration to be paid in the Business Combination in respect of each share of PGUS Class A Common Stock and each PGUS Class B Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Acquisition Merger Effective Time, will be a number of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock and Pubco Class B Common Stock, respectively, valued at the Redemption Price (as defined below), and with each PGUS Stockholder receiving its pro rata share of the “Merger Consideration” with the aggregate number of shares to be determined by dividing the Purchase Price by the Redemption Price, and further adjusted as per clauses (a) and (b) of the immediately following paragraph.

 

The “Purchase Price” means an aggregate number of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock with an aggregate value equal to (a) One Billion Four Hundred Eighty Nine Million Eight Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars ($1,489,800,000) less (b)(i) the aggregate number of shares of PGUS Class A Common Stock, on an as-exercised basis, under the PGUS Warrants multiplied by (ii) the Redemption Price less the applicable exercise price of such PGUS Warrant and less (c)(i) the aggregate number of shares of PGUS Class A Common Stock, on an as-exercised basis, under the PGUS Options multiplied by (ii) the Redemption Price less the applicable exercise price of such PGUS Option (as defined below). Based on a Redemption Price of $11.05, and after giving effect to the adjustments in clauses (b) and (c) above, an aggregate of 105,687,444 shares of Pubco Common Stock will be paid to the PGUS stockholders as Merger Consideration at the Closing, comprised of 19,702,841 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock and 85,984,603 shares of Pubco Class B Common Stock. The final number of shares of Pubco Common Stock to be issued as Merger Consideration will be confirmed once the final Redemption Price has been determined.

 

The “Redemption Price” means an amount equal to the price at which each Parent Ordinary Share is redeemed or converted pursuant to the Redemption.

 

Subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, the Mergers will occur, which will result in, among other things, the following, in each case, prior to or concurrently with the Acquisition Merger Effective Time:

 

  (a) the existing governing documents of Pubco will be amended and restated and become the Proposed Organizational Documents (as defined below) of PrimeGen US, Inc. as described in this proxy statement/prospectus;
     
  (b) immediately prior to the commencement of the Redomestication Merger, each issued and outstanding unit of DTCS will convert automatically by operation of law, on a one-for-one basis, into one DTCS Ordinary Share and one DTCS Right, and each issued and outstanding DTCS Right immediately prior to the Redomestication Merger Effective Time shall be converted into one-ninth (1/9) of one (1) DTCS Ordinary Share, and all units of DTCS shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist;
     
  (c) at the Redomestication Merger Effective Time, all of the issued and outstanding DTCS Ordinary Shares (including each Parent Ordinary Share resulting from the conversion of Parent Units and DTCS Rights pursuant to the preceding paragraph but other than the Parent Excluded Shares and Parent Dissenting Shares) will automatically be converted into one share of Pubco Class A Common Stock. Simultaneously with such automatic conversion, at the Redomestication Merger Effective Time all DTCS Ordinary Shares shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist;

 

 
 

 

  (d) At the Redomestication Merger Effective Time, Pubco shall issue an aggregate of 1,931,900 Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants to (x) those Public Shareholders which, as of a time immediately prior to the Redomestication Merger Effective Time, have not tendered their DTCS Ordinary Shares in the Redemption and (y) all other holders of DTCS Ordinary Shares as of a time immediately prior to the Redomestication Merger (including, without limitation, the Sponsor, other Insiders and holders of other DTCS Ordinary Shares that are not Public Shares); the terms of the Non-Redemption Warrants are further described herein;
     
  (e) At the Acquisition Merger Effective Time, each share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001, of PGUS (the “PGUS Class A Common Stock”) and each share of Class B common stock, par value $0.001, of PGUS (the “PGUS Class B Common Stock”, together with the PGUS Class A Common Stock, the “PGUS Common Stock”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares to be canceled in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement and any Dissenting Shares (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement)) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a Pro Rata Share of the Merger Consideration;
     
  (f) at the Acquisition Merger Effective Time, if there are any shares of PGUS Common Stock that are owned by the Company as treasury shares prior to the Acquisition Merger Effective Time, such PGUS Common Stock shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist without any conversion thereof or payment therefor;
     
  (g) each option to purchase PGUS Class A Common Stock (each, a “PGUS Option”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Acquisition Merger Effective Time will be cancelled and automatically converted into an option with equivalent terms and conditions to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock of Pubco (“Pubco Option”);
     
  (h) each warrant to purchase shares of PGUS Class A Common Stock (each, a “PGUS Warrant”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Acquisition Merger Effective Time shall be cancelled and automatically converted into a warrant with equivalent terms and conditions to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock of Pubco (“Pubco Warrant”).

 

Assuming exercise and conversion of all DTCS securities held by the Initial Shareholders, under (i) a no redemption scenario, (ii) an interim redemption scenario, assuming 50% redemptions, and (iii) a maximum redemption scenario, immediately upon consummation of the Business Combination, as of the Closing the Initial Shareholders will own [    ] shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock, representing approximately [    ]%, [    ]%, and [    ]% of the issued PubCo Class A Common Stock, respectively. The Pubco Class A Common Stock issuable to the Initial Shareholders in respect of the DTCS securities held by the Initial Shareholders includes (i) [    ] DTCS Ordinary Shares; (ii) [    ] DTCS Ordinary Shares included as part of the DTCS Private Units; and (iii) [    ] shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock into which the promissory notes that the Initial Shareholders owned will be converted at $10.00 per unit.

 

These relative percentages assume that (i) none of DTCS’ existing public shareholders exercise their redemption rights or dissenting rights, as discussed herein; (ii) there is no exercise of PubCo Warrants or Pubco Options and (iii) the Notes (as defined herein) have not been converted. If any of existing public shareholders of DTCS exercise their redemption rights, the anticipated percentage ownership of existing shareholders of DTCS will be reduced. You should read “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus” and “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” for further information.

 

We will apply to list the Pubco Class A Common Stock issued in the Mergers on the Nasdaq Capital Market. However, we cannot assure you that the Pubco Class A Common Stock will be approved for listing on Nasdaq. The Pubco Class B Common Stock will not be listed on any exchange.

 

 
 

 

The DTCS Units, DTCS Ordinary Shares and DTCS Rights are currently listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) under the symbols “DTSQU”, “DTSQ” and “DTSQR”, respectively. Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, as a closing condition (subject to certain exceptions), the Pubco Class A Common Stock issued in connection with the Business Combination is to be approved for listing on Nasdaq, but there can be no assurance that such listing condition will be met. If such listing condition is not met, the Business Combination will not be consummated unless the listing condition is waived by the parties to the Business Combination Agreement. The parties currently do not intend to waive the listing condition if Pubco’s Nasdaq listing application is not approved. In the event that the Nasdaq application is not approved and the parties do mutually agree to waive this condition, no recirculation or resolicitation of DTCS shareholders will occur prior to the extraordinary general meeting.]

 

In connection with DTCS’s IPO (as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus), DT Cloud Star Management Limited, (the “Sponsor”), and DTCS’s directors and executive officers entered into letter agreements, pursuant to which they agreed to vote their DTCS Ordinary Shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal (as defined herein). Further, concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor entered into the Insider Support Agreement with the Insiders (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), dated as of February 2, 2026 (the “Insider Support Agreement”), pursuant to which the Sponsor and Insiders agreed to vote their shares in favor of all proposals being presented at the extraordinary general meeting. As of the record date (as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus), the Sponsor owned approximately [___]% of the total outstanding DTCS Ordinary Shares. DTCS initially had 15 months (the “Business Combination Period”) to complete a business combination after its IPO, and held the annual meeting of shareholders on October 22, 2025 (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the shareholders approved a proposal allowing DTCS to extend the Business Combination Period to October 26, 2026, by depositing $75,000 into the Trust Account for each monthly extension, with each such extension payment due on the 26th day of each month (the “Extension Proposal”). In connection with the shareholders’ vote on the Extension Proposal, 5,247,491 shares, or 76.05% of the shares owned by public shareholders, were tendered for redemption, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $57,318,850, at a per-share redemption price of approximately $10.82 per share. After giving effect to such redemptions, approximately $18.3 million remained in the Trust Account as of June 10, 2026, and 1,652,509 Public Shares, and 3,653,409 DTCS Ordinary Shares, remained outstanding. In connection with the Annual Meeting, DTCS and the Sponsor entered into a Non-Redemption Agreement with one unaffiliated third-party DTCS shareholder, providing that in exchange for such shareholder agreeing to not redeem (or validly rescind any redemption requests on) 600,000 DTCS Ordinary Shares at the Annual Meeting, the Sponsor agreed to transfer to this third party shareholder 200,000 DTCS Ordinary Shares owned by the Sponsor upon the closing of DTCS’s initial business combination.

 

The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated by either party if the Business Combination is not consummated on or before October 26, 2026 (the “Outside Date”); provided, that DTCS and PGUS may mutually agree to extend the Outside Date by an additional three months to January 26, 2027 if, prior to the Outside Date, DTCS shall have obtained the necessary shareholder approval to consummate the Business Combination after the Outside Date.

 

If the Business Combination or another business combination is not consummated by October 26, 2026 (the “Outside Date”), DTCS will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of outstanding Public Shares for cash and, subject to the approval of DTCS’s remaining shareholders and DTCS’s Board, liquidating and dissolving; provided, however, that (i) DTCS and PGUS may mutually agree to extend the Outside Date by an additional three months to January 26, 2027 and (ii) DTCS may extend its deadline to consummate a business combination beyond October 26, 2026 at a duly called meeting of the DTCS shareholders, in accordance with the Existing Articles (as defined below).

 

Compensation of the Sponsor and its affiliates in connection with the Business Combination:

 

The Sponsor will receive on the Closing Date the sum of $2,500,000 (“Sponsor Closing Payment”), in exchange for 250,000 shares of DTCS Ordinary Shares owned by the Sponsor that are validly issued, fully paid an non-assessable, and are free and clear of all Liens (“Sponsor Closing Shares”).

 

The securities to be issued to the Sponsor may result in a material dilution of the equity interests of non-redeeming holders of the DTCS Ordinary Shares sold in the IPO (“Public Shareholders”). See “Potential Impact of Additional Dilution”, “The Business Combination Proposal - Interests of Certain DTCS Persons in the Business Combination” and “Information About DTCS - Executive and Director Compensation.”

 

Each of DTCS’s sponsor, officers, and directors has entered into a letter agreement with DTCS pursuant to which they have waived any right, title, interest, or claim to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their founder shares and private placement shares if DTCS fails to complete an initial business combination by October 26, 2026, holders of DTCS Rights will have no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to such rights, which will expire worthless if DTCS does not complete its initial business combination by that date.

 

In July 2024, we issued to the Sponsor 206,900 Private Units for an aggregate purchase price of $ 2,069,000.

 

On October 23, 2025, we issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $75,000, in exchange for Sponsor depositing such amount into the Trust Account in order to extend the amount of time it has available to complete a Business Combination. The promissory note may, at the option of the Sponsor, convert into Private Units at $10 per unit at closing.

 

On November 28, 2025 and January 6, 2026, DTCS we deposited $75,000 into the Trust Account for monthly extensions. On March 16, 2026, we deposited an additional $150,000 into the Trust Account representing monthly extension payments from January through March 2026. A payment in the amount of $225,000 was deposited into the Trust Account on July 10, 2026; and a payment in the amount of $75,000 was deposited into the Trust Account on July 14, 2026. All such amounts would be repayable to the Sponsor if the Business Combination is not consummated.

 

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, we had a temporary payable of $1,301,143.59 to the Sponsor, of which $75,000 may, at the option of the Sponsor, be converted into Private Units at $10 per unit at Closing, and the remaining $1,226,143.59 will be repaid in cash to the Sponsor by Pubco at or after the Closing. This balance is unsecured, interest-free and, except with respect to the Note, has no fixed repayment terms. All such amounts would be repayable to the Sponsor if the Business Combination is not consummated.

 

The Sponsor and DTCS’s officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, will also be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and consummating an initial business combination. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, an aggregate of approximately $[    ] of reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses were outstanding. In addition, DTCS has agreed to pay the Sponsor $10,000 per month for certain general and administrative services, including office space, administrative and support services through the earlier of consummation of the initial business combination and our liquidation, which may be due from PGUS as a reimbursable expense.

 

Additionally, DTCS’s officers and directors will be entitled to continued indemnification and the continuation of directors’ and officer’s liability insurance policy for a period of six (6) years after the Business Combination.

 

 
 

 

DTCS’s independent directors are not members of the Sponsor. No compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, have been paid or will be paid to the Sponsor, or any of its affiliates, for services rendered prior to or in connection with the completion of the Business Combination. However, these individuals will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. The reimbursement of expenses and advances and the securities issued to the Sponsor may result in a material dilution of the equity interests of non-redeeming Public Shareholders. See “Potential Impact of Additional Dilution”, “The Business Combination Proposal - Interests of Certain DTCS Persons in the Business Combination” and “Information About DTCS - Executive and Director Compensation”.

(1) Under No Redemption Scenario, assumes outstanding Common Stock and Rights at June 9, 2026 and redemptions of zero additional DTCS Ordinary Shares.
(2) Same as (1), but with a 25% redemption of the 1,652,509 shares of DTCS Common Stock (406,377 shares redeemed), for aggregate redemption payments of $4.5 million using a per-share redemption price of $11.05. Rights obtained by purchasers of DTCS Common Stock remain outstanding regardless of redemption.
(3) Same as (1), but with a 50% redemption of the 1,652,509 shares of DTCS Common Stock (826,255 shares redeemed), for aggregate redemption payments of $9 million using a per-share redemption price of $11.05. Rights obtained by purchasers of DTCS Common Stock remain outstanding regardless of redemption.
(4) Same as (1), but with a 75% redemption of the 1,652,509 shares of DTCS Common Stock (1,236,381 shares redeemed), for aggregate redemption payments of $13.7 million using a per-share redemption price of $11.05. Rights obtained by purchasers of DTCS Common Stock remain outstanding regardless of redemption.
(5) Same as (1), but with a 100% redemption of the 1,652,509 shares of DTCS Common Stock for aggregate redemption payments of $18.3 million using a per-share redemption price of $11.05. Rights obtained by purchasers of DTCS Common Stock remain outstanding regardless of redemption.

 

DTCS shareholders who acquired public shares in DTCS’s initial public offering will have their ownership interests diluted to the extent of the difference between the initial public offering price of $10.00 per public share sold in DTCS’s initial public offering and the net tangible book value per share at the time of the Business Combination assuming various sources of material probable dilution described below but excluding the effects of the consummation of the Business Combination itself.

 

Since the initial public offering of 6,900,000 redeemable ordinary shares, at the Annual Meeting and upon the approval by the DTCS shareholders of the Extension Proposal, an aggregate of 5,247,491 ordinary shares were redeemed for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $57,318,850, at a per-share redemption price of approximately $10.82 per share. After giving effect to such redemptions, approximately $18.4 million remained in the trust account as of June 30, 2026, and 1,652,509 Public Shares, and 3,653,409 DTCS Ordinary Shares, remained outstanding. The various redemptions scenarios shown below reflect the impact of the aforementioned redemptions. In connection with the Annual Meeting, DTCS and the Sponsor entered into a Non-Redemption Agreement with one unaffiliated third-party DTCS shareholder, providing that in exchange for such shareholder agreeing to not redeem (or validly rescind any redemption requests on) 600,000 DTCS Ordinary Shares at the Annual Meeting, the Sponsor agreed to transfer to this third party shareholder 200,000 DTCS Ordinary Shares owned by the Sponsor upon the closing of DTCS’s initial business combination.

 

 
 

 

As of June 30, 2026, DTCS’s net tangible book value was ($1.67 million), calculated as total assets of $18.4 million less total liabilities of $1.7 million, and less public shares subject to redemption classified in mezzanine equity of $18.4 million. The number of DTCS Shares outstanding as of June 30, 2026, after giving effect to the redemption of 5,247,491 ordinary shares, was 3,653,409 ordinary shares.

 

The following table presents the net tangible book value per share at various redemption levels that may occur in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination assuming various sources of material probable dilution, but excluding the effects of the Business Combination transaction itself. This presentation takes into account a potential PIPE Financing and the reclassification of unredeemed public shares of DTCS to permanent equity.

 

This table does not reflect additional dilution owing to the business combination, including 105,687,444 common shares and 30,607,038 options and warrants with an exercise price ranging from $0.02 to $0.90 per share to be issued to PGUS shareholders. In addition to excluding the Business Combination itself, this presentation excludes 1,931,900 shares of Common Stock that will be issuable pursuant to non-redemption warrants with an exercise price of $2.00. It also excludes convertible promissory notes payable to the Sponsor which can convert into 37,500 shares and an additional 4,166 shares related to their attached rights.

(1) Under No Redemption Scenario, assumes outstanding Common Stock and Rights at June 30, 2026 and redemptions of zero additional DTCS Ordinary Shares.
(2) Same as (1), but with a 25% redemption of the 1,652,509 shares of DTCS Common Stock (406,377 shares redeemed), for aggregate redemption payments of $4.5 million using a per-share redemption price of $11.05. Rights obtained by purchasers of DTCS Common Stock remain outstanding regardless of redemption.
(3) Same as (1), but with a 50% redemption of the 1,652,509 shares of DTCS Common Stock (826,255 shares redeemed), for aggregate redemption payments of $9 million using a per-share redemption price of $11.05. Rights obtained by purchasers of DTCS Common Stock remain outstanding regardless of redemption.
(4) Same as (1), but with a 75% redemption of the 1,652,509 shares of DTCS Common Stock (1,236,381 shares redeemed), for aggregate redemption payments of $13.7 million using a per-share redemption price of $11.05. Rights obtained by purchasers of DTCS Common Stock remain outstanding regardless of redemption.
(5) Same as (1), but with a 100% redemption of the 1,652,509 shares of DTCS Common Stock for aggregate redemption payments of $18.3 million using a per-share redemption price of $11.05. Rights obtained by purchasers of DTCS Common Stock remain outstanding regardless of redemption.

 

There is no minimum cash requirement in the BCA, however there is a potential PIPE transaction which could provide additional cash. We have reflected the estimated impact of that potential PIPE in the pro formas showing the various redemption scenarios. As of the date of this filing, no such PIPE has closed.

 

After taking into account the effects of the consummation of the Business Combination itself, for each of the scenarios above, the valuation of DTCS would need to equal approximately $1.4 billion in order for the non-redeeming shareholders’ interest per share to be at least equal to the price per public share ($10.00 per share) in DTCS’s initial public offering.

 

 
 

 

Compensation Received by the Sponsor

 

Set forth below is a summary of the terms and amount of the compensation received or to be received by the Sponsor and its affiliates in connection with the Business Combination or any related financing transaction, the amount of securities issued or to be issued by SPAC to the Sponsor and its affiliates and the price paid or to be paid for such securities or any related financing transaction.

 

    Interest in Securities   Other Compensation
Sponsor  

In November 2022, March 2023 and January 2024, an aggregate of 1,725,000 insider shares, or the Founder Shares, were issued to the Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. As of the date hereof, 1,931,900 insider shares are beneficially owned by the Sponsor.

 

In July 2024, we issued to the Sponsor 206,900 Private Units for an aggregate purchase price of $ 2,069,000.

 

On October 23, 2025, we issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $75,000, in exchange for Sponsor depositing such amount into the Trust Account in order to extend the amount of time it has available to complete a Business Combination. The promissory note may, at the option of the Sponsor, convert into Private Units at $10 per unit at closing.

 

On November 28, 2025 and January 6, 2026, DTCS deposited $75,000 into the Trust Account for monthly extensions. On March 16, 2026, DTCS deposited an additional $150,000 into the Trust Account representing monthly extension payments through March 2026. A payment in the amount of $225,000 was deposited into the Trust Account on July 10, 2026; and a payment in the amount of $75,000 was deposited into the Trust Account on July 14, 2026. These amounts are to be repaid at or after the Closing by Pubco out of available cash. No promissory notes were issued in connection with any of such payments, and these amounts due are not convertible into Private Units or any other securities of DTCS or of Pubco. All such amounts would be repayable to the Sponsor if the Business Combination is not consummated.

 

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, we had a temporary payable of $1,301,143.59 to the Sponsor, of which $75,000 may, at the option of the Sponsor, be converted into Private Units at $10 per unit at closing and the remaining $1,226,143.59 will be repaid in cash to the Sponsor by Pubco at or after the Closing. All such amounts would be repayable to the Sponsor if the Business Combination is not consummated.

  DTCS has agreed to reimburse the Sponsor for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and completing an initial business combination. As of [December 31, 2025], there were $[*] out-of-pocket unpaid reimbursable expenses for which the Initial Shareholders, including the Sponsor and its affiliates, are awaiting reimbursement.
         
    Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, among other things, each of the then issued and outstanding DTCS Ordinary Shares will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into one share of Pubco Class A Common Stock. In the event the share price of Pubco Class A Common Stock falls below the price paid by a shareholder of DTCS at the time of purchase of the DTCS Ordinary Shares by such shareholder, a situation may arise in which the Sponsor or a director of DTCS maintains a positive rate of return on its/ his/her DTCS Ordinary Shares while such shareholder of DTCS experiences a negative rate of return on the shares such shareholder of DTCS purchased. The securities currently owned by the Initial Shareholders will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination than at the time of purchase. For purpose of illustration, given that as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Initial Shareholders collectively hold 1,931,900 DTCS Ordinary Shares, including 1,725,000 insider shares and 206,900 shares included in the Private Units, based on an estimated market price of $[  ] per share of Pubco Class A Common Stock (i.e. being DTCS Ordinary Share’s closing price on [  ], 2026, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus) immediately after Closing, the aggregate value of Pubco Class A Common Stock owned by the Initial Shareholders would be $[  ] and the Initial Shareholders would have a potential aggregate profit of $[  ], representing a profit of $[  ] per share of Pubco Class A Common Stock, whereas other public shareholders of DTCS would only have a profit of $[  ] per share of Pubco Class A Common Stock;  

DTCS has agreed to pay the affiliate of the Sponsor $10,000 per month for certain general and administrative services, including office space, administrative and support services commencing on the closing date of the IPO until the earlier of the consummation by DTCS of an initial business combination or the liquidation of DTCS. As of [December 31, 2025 and 2024], the unpaid services fee was $80,000 and $50,000. For the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, DTCS incurred $120,000 and $50,000 in fees for these services, respectively.

 

PGUS and/or Pubco has agreed to pay the Sponsor up to $2,000,000 in reimbursement of Sponsor’s transaction expenses, with $500,000 paid on March 9, 2026 and the remainder to be paid at the Closing.

 

Pubco has agreed to purchase an aggregate of 250,000 DTCS Ordinary Shares from Sponsor at the Closing for an aggregate purchase price of $2,500,000.

 

The securities to be issued to the Sponsor may result in a material dilution of the equity interests of non-redeeming holders of the DTCS Ordinary Shares sold in the IPO. See “Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”

 

Conflicts of Interest

 

Directors and officers of DTCS may have interests in the Business Combination that are different from your interests as a shareholder. In November 2022, March 2023 and January 2024, an aggregate of 1,725,000 insider shares were issued to our Sponsor for an aggregate contribution of $25,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, DTCS consummated the private placement (the “Private Placement”) with the Sponsor of 206,900 DTCS Units (the “Private Unit(s)”), generating total proceeds of $2,069,000. The following table sets forth information regarding directors and officers of DTCS and the Sponsor’s beneficial interests in securities of DTCS as at [  ], 2026:

 

Shareholder(1)  Number of DTCS
Ordinary Shares
   Number of
DTCS Units
 
The Sponsor(2)   1,725,000    206,900 
Sam Zheng Sun   0    0

All directors and executive officers (six (6) individuals) as a group   0    0 

 

Notes:

 

(1) Unless otherwise indicated, the business address of each of the individuals or entities is c/o DT Cloud Star Acquisition Corporation, Office 51, 10th Floor, 31 Hudson Yards, New York, NY 10001, USA.
(2) The Sponsor is the record holder of the insider shares reported herein. It is controlled 80% by Mr. Jin Xin, and 20% by Infinity-Star Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands company that is wholly owned by Mr. Guojian Chen (a non-U.S. person). Mr. Guojian Chen is the sole director of the Sponsor. By virtue of these relationships, each of Mr. Xin and Mr. Chen may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of the securities held of record by our Sponsor.

 

 
 

 

Each of the following individuals (directors, officers or other affiliates of DTCS) has an economic interest in the insider shares currently held by the Sponsor. The economic interest (or deemed economic interest) of these individuals in these 1,725,000 shares retained by the Sponsor is shown below:

 

Name of Person  Number of
DTCS Ordinary Shares
   Number of
DTCS Units
 
Xin Jin   

1,380,000

    165,520 
Guojian Chen   345,000    41,380 

 

There are no circumstances or arrangements under which the Sponsor, its affiliates, and promoters, directly or indirectly, have transferred or could transfer ownership of securities of DTCS, or that have resulted or could result in the surrender or cancellation of such securities; except that in connection with the Annual Meeting, DTCS and the Sponsor entered into a Non-Redemption Agreement with one unaffiliated third-party DTCS shareholder, providing that in exchange for such shareholder agreeing to not redeem (or validly rescind any redemption requests on) 600,000 DTCS Ordinary Shares at the Annual Meeting, the Sponsor agreed to transfer to this third party shareholder 200,000 DTCS Ordinary Shares owned by the Sponsor upon the closing of DTCS’s initial business combination.

 

On December 31, 2023, the DTCS issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. This first Promissory Note is non-interest-bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2024 and (ii) the date on which the Company consummates an IPO or the date on which the Company determines not to conduct the IPO. The first promissory note terminated and was paid back after consummation of IPO on July 29, 2024. 

 

On October 28, 2024, DTCS issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. This promissory note is non-interest-bearing and payable on the date which the Company consummates an initial business combination. The current balance of this promissory note is $0.

 

On October 23, 2025, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company borrowed up to an aggregate principal amount of $75,000, in exchange for Sponsor depositing such amount into the Company’s trust account in order to extend the amount of time it has available to complete a Business Combination. The Note does not bear interest and matures upon the closing of a business combination by the Company. In addition, the Note may be converted by the holder into units of the Company identical to the units issued in the Company’s Initial Public Offering at a price of $10.00 per unit.

 

On each of November 28, 2025 and January 6, 2026, DTCS deposited $75,000 into the Trust Account for monthly extensions. On March 16, 2026, DTCS deposited an additional $150,000 into the Trust Account representing monthly extension payments from January through March 2026. A payment in the amount of $225,000 was deposited into the Trust Account on July 10, 2026; and a payment in the amount of $75,000 was deposited into the Trust Account on July 14, 2026. These amounts are to be repaid at or after the Closing by Pubco out of available cash. No promissory notes were issued in connection with any of such payments, and these amounts due are not convertible into Private Units or any other securities of DTCS or of Pubco. All such amounts would be repayable to the Sponsor if the Business Combination is not consummated.

 

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, we had a temporary payable of $1,301,143.59 to the Sponsor, of which $75,000 may, at the option of the Sponsor, be converted into Private Units at $10 per unit at Closing, and the remaining $1,226,143.59 will be repaid in cash to the Sponsor by Pubco at or after the Closing. This balance is unsecured, interest-free and, except with respect to the Note, has no fixed repayment terms. All such amounts would be repayable to the Sponsor if the Business Combination is not consummated. This temporary payable consists of $140,000 for management fees, $675,000 for extension fees and $486,143.59 for expenses paid on behalf of the Company.

 

DTCS did not obtain a fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination because it relied on the financial skills and background of its officers and directors. The board of DTCS believed that the officers and directors of DTCS have substantial experience in evaluating the operating and financial merits of companies from a wide range of industries and concluded that their experience and background enabled them to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the Business Combination.

 

 
 

 

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, DTCS has not entered into any agreement, arrangement, or understanding, including any payments, between the Sponsor and unaffiliated security holders of DTCS regarding the redemption of outstanding securities of DTCS, except for that certain non-redemption agreement dated as of [*]. See “[*].

 

Non-U.S. Ownership and China-Related Considerations

 

The Sponsor is controlled by non-U.S. persons. Specifically, Infinity-Star Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands company, and Jin Xin, a resident of the PRC, beneficially own approximately 20% and 80% of the Sponsor, respectively. In addition, a majority of our executive officers and directors are located outside the United States and are nationals or residents of jurisdictions other than the United States, and a substantial portion of their assets is located outside the United States.

 

As a result, investors may face additional risks, including difficulties in effecting service of process, enforcing U.S. judgments, and uncertainties associated with foreign legal systems. In particular, because certain individuals associated with the Sponsor have ties to the PRC, investors should consider the legal and operational risks associated with China-based companies.

 

These risks include, among others, the potential for the PRC government to exercise significant oversight and discretion over operations, possible changes in PRC laws and regulations, and limitations on the ability to transfer funds or access capital.

 

See “Risk Factors — DTCS faces risks associated with non-U.S. ownership, including PRC connections, which may result in regulatory uncertainty, enforcement challenges, and potential adverse effects on our business and the value of our securities.” beginning on page 68.

 

Conflicts of interest in connection with the Business Combination: There may be actual or potential material conflicts of interest between or among (i) the Sponsor, DTCS’s officers and directors, PGUS’s officers and directors and (ii) unaffiliated security holders of DTCS. Such conflicts of interest may include a material conflict of interest arising in determining whether to proceed with the Business Combination, the compensation of DTCS’s directors and officers and the compensation of the Sponsor. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal - Interests of Certain DTCS Persons in the Business Combination”. PGUS’s directors and executive officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of the DTCS shareholders generally. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal - Interests of the PGUS Directors and Executive Officers”.

 

When considering the DTCS Board’s recommendation that DTCS’s shareholders vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal, shareholders should be aware that directors and officers of DTCS may have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of unaffiliated shareholders of DTCS. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

 

  ● the fact that immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination, the Initial Shareholders, other than A.G.P., are expected to hold 2,000,900 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock on an as-converted basis, consisting of (i) 1,725,000 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock held by the Sponsor, to be converted from DTCS Ordinary Shares held by the Sponsor and (ii) 206,900 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock to be converted from DTCS Ordinary Shares underlying the DTCS Private Units held by the Sponsor (for a total of 1,931,900 shares held by the Sponsor); and (iii) 69,000 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock, to be converted from DTCS Ordinary Shares, held by A.G.P.; which in the aggregate, would be an approximately [●]% and [●]% ownership interest in the Pubco following the consummation of the Business Combination under the no redemption scenario, on an as converted basis.
     
  ● the fact that immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination, the Initial Shareholders will hold up to 1,931,900 Non-Redemption Warrants, each with a right to purchase one share of Pubco Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share;
     
  ● the fact that the Sponsor acquired 206,900 DTCS Private Units at $10.00 per private unit through private placement simultaneously with the closing of DTCS IPO on January 24, 2025.
     
  ● the fact that the Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.014 per share, for 1,725,000 Founder Shares prior to DTCS IPO, which will be canceled and converted automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into the same number of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock at the Effective Time pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. All of the Founder Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions and could have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination, which if unrestricted and freely tradable would be valued at approximately $[●] million, based on the most recent closing price of DTCS Ordinary Shares of $[●] per share on [●], 2025.
     
  ● the fact that if the Business Combination or another business combination is not consummated by October 26, 2026, DTCS will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of outstanding Public Shares for cash and, subject to the approval of DTCS’s remaining shareholders and DTCS’s Board, liquidating and dissolving; provided, however that DTCS may extend its deadline to consummate a business combination beyond October 26, 2026 at a duly called meeting of the DTCS shareholders, in accordance with the Existing Articles (as defined below). In such event, the Founder Shares and Private Shares held by the Sponsor, as well as the Private Units and the Private Rights, would be worthless because DTCS’s Initial Shareholders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares.
     
  ● the fact that if the Business Combination is consummated, each of issued and outstanding DTCS Ordinary Shares will be converted into one share of Pubco Class A Common Stock. Given the differential in the purchase price that the Sponsor paid for the Founder Shares, as compared to the price of Public Shares paid by DTCS Public Shareholders in the DTCS IPO and the substantial number of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock that the Sponsor will receive upon conversion of the Founder Shares, the Sponsor is likely to be able to recoup their investment in DTCS and make a substantial profit on that investment, even if the Pubco Class A Common Stock has lost significant value. This means that the Sponsor could earn a positive rate of return on their investment, even if DTCS Public Shareholders experience a negative rate of return in the Pubco following the consummation of the Business Combination.
     
  ● the fact that the Sponsor and officers and directors of DTCS have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any insider shares and private shares held by them if DTCS fails to complete an initial business combination by October 26, 2026.
     
  ● the fact that if DTCS liquidates the Trust Account prior to the consummation of a business combination, it will be liable to pay debts and obligations to target businesses or vendors or other entities that are owed money by DTCS for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to us in excess of the net proceeds of DTCS IPO not held in the Trust Account, but only to the extent necessary to ensure that such debts or obligations do not reduce the amounts in the trust account and only if such parties have not executed a waiver agreement.
     
  ● the fact that pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, (a) PGUS will pay to the Sponsor upon the filing of the first confidential Form S-4 the sum of $500,000; (b) at the Closing, Pubco will reimburse the Sponsor for its transaction expenses up to an additional maximum of $1,500,000; and (c) at the Closing, Pubco and or its designee would purchase 250,000 DTCS Ordinary Shares from the Sponsor for the sum of $2,500,000 in cash.
     
  ● the fact that DTCS’s Sponsor, officers, directors, or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan DTCS funds as may be required to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an initial business combination, up to an agreed maximum amount as further provided herein.
     
  ● the fact that the Sponsor is entitled to $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services for up to 12 months following the DTCS IPO.
     
  ● the fact that the Business Combination Agreement provides for the continued indemnification of DTCS’s former and current directors and officers and the continuation of directors and officers liability insurance covering DTCS’s former and current directors and officers.

 

 
 

 

  ● the fact that DTCS’s officers and directors and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on DTCS’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. However, if DTCS fails to consummate a business combination within the required time period under the DTCS Articles, these persons will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. Accordingly, DTCS may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the Business Combination with Pubco or another business combination is not completed by October 26, 2026.
     
  ● the fact that the Sponsor and Pubco and certain other parties named in the Business Combination Agreement, will enter into a Registration Rights Agreement at Closing which provides for the registration of all of the shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock that are issuable to the Sponsor, including upon exercise of the Non-Redemption Warrants issued to the Sponsor.
     
  ● the fact that in addition to these interests of the Sponsor and DTCS’s officers, directors and advisors, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws and DTCS’s memorandum and articles of association, waive certain applications of the doctrine of corporate opportunity in some circumstances where the application of any such doctrine would conflict with any fiduciary duties or contractual obligations they may have, and DTCS will renounce any expectation that any of its directors or officers will offer any such corporate opportunity of which he or she may become aware to us. DTCS does not believe that the pre-existing fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of its officers and directors materially impacted its search for an acquisition target. Further, DTCS does not believe that the waiver of the application of the corporate opportunity doctrine had a material impact on its ability to complete its initial business combination.

 

If DTCS does not consummate an initial business combination by October 26, 2026, it will be required to dissolve and liquidate and the securities held by the Initial Shareholders will be worthless because the Initial Shareholders have agreed to waive their rights to any liquidation distributions. The 1,931,900 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock that will be received by the Sponsor, if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had an aggregate market value of approximately $[●] million based upon the closing price of $[●] per share on Nasdaq on [●], 2026, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. As a result of the interests of the Sponsor and the directors and officers of DTCS in securities of DTCS, the Sponsor and the directors and officers of DTCS have an incentive to complete an initial business combination and may have a conflict of interest in the transaction, including without limitation, in determining whether a particular business is an appropriate business with which to effect the initial business combination of DTCS.

 

As a result of the interests of the Initial Shareholders in securities of DTCS, the Initial Shareholders will benefit from the completion of the Business Combination and therefore may be incentivized to complete the Business Combination even if it is with a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to shareholders of DTCS, rather than liquidate. They may have a conflict of interest in the transaction, including without limitation, in determining whether a particular business is an appropriate business with which to effect the initial business combination of DTCS.

 

In connection with the Business Combination, there may be any actual or potential material conflicts of interest between, on one hand, DTCS’s officers or directors; and, on the other hand, unaffiliated security holders of DTCS. Shareholders should also be aware that interests of DTCS, DTCS officers and directors may be inherently different from the interests of unaffiliated shareholders of DTCS, which could cause them to pursue terms of Business Combination less favorable to non-redeeming shareholders, and they owe no fiduciary duty to DTCS’s shareholders. However, under Cayman Islands law, the SPAC’s directors owe fiduciary duties to the SPAC, including a duty of loyalty, a duty to act honestly and a duty to act in what they consider in good faith to be in the best interests of the SPAC as a whole. The SPAC’s directors also must exercise their powers only for a proper purpose. Accordingly, when considering and approving the Business Combination, the SPAC’s directors must comply with their fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law by acting honestly, in good faith, and in the best interests of the SPAC as a whole. After Closing, DTCS has the right to designate one director to the board of Pubco who will not be required to quality as an independent director under Nasdaq’s rules. Furthermore, DTCS intends to use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account to complete the Business Combination, after the payment to holders of DTCS Ordinary Shares exercising redemption rights upon Closing, and any remaining amount will be used for future working capital and other corporate purposes of the combined entity. See “Questions and Answers about the Business Combination and the Extraordinary General Meeting — Q: What happens to the funds deposited in the Trust Account after consummation of the Business Combination?” on page 20.

 

The board of directors of DTCS has determined (i) that the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination, are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of, DTCS and its shareholders, and (ii) to recommend that the shareholders approve the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, including the Business Combination. The DTCS Board relied on the financial skills and background of its officers and directors. DTCS believed that the officers and directors of DTCS have substantial experience in evaluating the operating and financial merits of companies from a wide range of industries and concluded that their experience and background enabled them to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the Business Combination. For details, see “Background of the Business Combination.”

This proxy statement/prospectus provides shareholders of DTCS with detailed information about the Business Combination and other matters to be considered at the extraordinary general meeting of DTCS.

We encourage you to read this entire document, including the Annexes and other documents referred to herein, carefully and in their entirety. In particular, when you consider the recommendation regarding these proposals by the board of directors of DTCS, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor and DTCS’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or in addition to, or may conflict with, your interests as a shareholder. For instance, the Sponsor, DTCS’s officers and directors and/or their affiliates will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to shareholders rather than liquidating DTCS. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Business Combination Proposal - Interests of Certain DTCS Persons in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

You are cordially invited to attend the extraordinary general meeting of DTCS, to be held at [    ] a.m., Eastern Time, on [    ], 2026 at the offices of [    ] located at [    ], and virtually via live webcast at [    ]. The extraordinary general meeting will be held for the following purposes:

 

Proposal No. 1 - The Business Combination Proposal - To consider and vote upon a proposal to approve, by ordinary resolution, the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of February 2, 2026 (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among DTCS, DTSQ Purchaser Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of DTCS (“Purchaser” or “Pubco”), DTSQ Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of DTCS (“Merger Sub”), and PrimeGen US, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“PGUS” or the “Company”), pursuant to which, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Closing”) and following the Redomestication Merger (as defined below), Merger Sub will merge with and into PGUS (the “Acquisition Merger”), with PGUS surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco, resulting in a combined company whereby Pubco will be the sole stockholder of PGUS, and substantially all of the assets and the business of the combined company will be held and operated by PGUS and the transactions contemplated thereby, as more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. We refer to this proposal as the “Business Combination Proposal”. A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A.

 

Proposal No. 2 - The Redomestication Merger Proposal - To consider and vote upon a proposal to approve, by special resolution and adopt the redomestication of DTCS, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“DTCS” or the “Parent”) pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, and at least one Business Day prior to the closing of the Acquisition Merger and on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, the Parent shall cease to exist in the Cayman Islands so as to re-domicile as and become a Delaware corporation by means of a merger (the “Redomestication Merger”) of the DTCS with and into Pubco, with the Pubco as the surviving company pursuant to the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands and the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended. Upon the Redomestication Merger, Pubco shall change its name to “PrimeGen Holdings, Inc.” We refer to this proposal as the “Redomestication Merger Proposal.” A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A.

We refer to this proposal as the “PIPE Stock Issuance Proposal”.

 

 
 

 

Proposal No. 4 - The Organizational Documents Proposal - To consider and vote upon a proposal to approve, by special resolution, the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the proposed new by-laws (the “Proposed By-Laws” and, together with the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, the “Proposed Organizational Documents”) of Pubco in connection with the Business Combination. We refer to this proposal as the “Organizational Documents Proposal”. The form of each of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed By-Laws is attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C and Annex D, respectively.

 

Proposal No. 5 - The Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals - To consider and vote upon the following three separate proposals (collectively, the “Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals”) to approve on an advisory, non-binding basis by ordinary resolution the following material differences between the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of DTCS (as may be amended from time to time, the “Cayman Constitutional Documents”) and the Proposed Organizational Documents:

 

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 5A - Under the Proposed Organizational Documents, Pubco would be authorized to issue 1,500,000,000 shares of Pubco capital stock, consisting of 800,000,000 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock and 200,000,000 shares of Pubco Class B Common Stock, each with par value $0.00001 per share (collectively, “Pubco Common Stock”) and 500,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Pubco Preferred Stock”) (as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus).

 

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 5B - The Proposed Organizational Documents would adopt (a) Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation and (b) the federal district courts of the United States of America as the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

 

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 5C - The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation would require the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the total voting power of all then-outstanding shares of Pubco to amend, alter, repeal or rescind certain provisions of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation.

 

Proposal No. 6 - The Incentive Plan Proposal - To consider and vote upon a proposal to approve, by ordinary resolution, the PrimeGen US, Inc. 2026 Equity Incentive Plan (the “New Equity Incentive Plan”). We refer to this proposal as the “Incentive Plan Proposal”.

 

Proposal No. 7 - The Director Election Proposal - To consider and vote upon a proposal to approve, by ordinary resolution, the election of seven (7) directors to the Pubco board of directors until the date of the first annual stockholder meeting to be held following the date of Closing, or until any such director’s successor is duly elected and qualified, subject to such director’s earlier death, disqualification, resignation, or removal. We refer to this proposal as the “Director Election Proposal” and collectively with the Business Combination Proposal, the Redomestication Merger Proposal, the Stock Issuance Proposals and the Organizational Documents Proposal, the “Condition Precedent Proposals”.

 

Proposal No. 8 - The Adjournment Proposal - To consider and vote upon a proposal to approve, by ordinary resolution, the adjournment of the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or convenient, (i) to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with the approval of one or more proposals at the extraordinary general meeting, (ii) if DTCS determines that one or more of the conditions to Closing is not or will not be satisfied or waived or (iii) to facilitate the Redomestication Merger or any other transaction contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or the related agreements. We refer to this proposal as the “Adjournment Proposal”.

 

 
 

 

These items of business are described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, which we encourage you to read carefully and in its entirety before voting.

 

Only holders of record of the DTCS Ordinary Shares at the close of business on [    ] (the “record date”) are entitled to notice of and to have their votes counted at the extraordinary general meeting and any adjournment of the extraordinary general meeting. Pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, the approval of each of the Redomestication Merger Proposal and the Organizational Documents Proposal requires a special resolution, being the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of DTCS Ordinary Shares, who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

 

The approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Stock Issuance Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the Director Election Proposal, the Adjournment Proposal, and the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a simple majority of the DTCS Ordinary Shares, who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at an extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The Business Combination was not structured to require the approval of at least a majority of DTCS’s unaffiliated shareholders because such a vote is not required under Cayman Islands law.

 

The accompanying proxy statement/prospectus and proxy card are being provided to DTCS’s shareholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the extraordinary general meeting and at any adjournment of the extraordinary general meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the extraordinary general meeting, all of DTCS’s shareholders are urged to read the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and the documents referred to herein, carefully and in their entirety. You should also carefully consider the risk factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” beginning on page 50 of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

 

After careful consideration, the board of directors of DTCS (the “DTCS Board”) has unanimously approved and determined to be in the best interests of DTCS and its shareholders the Business Combination and unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the adoption of the Business Combination Agreement, and approval of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination, and “FOR” all other proposals presented to DTCS’s shareholders in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. When you consider the recommendation of these proposals by the DTCS Board, you should keep in mind that DTCS’s sponsor, DT Cloud Star Management Limited (the “Sponsor”) and DTCS’s directors and officers, and/or their affiliates, have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. For instance, the Sponsor and DTCS’s officers and directors, and/or their affiliates, will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to shareholders rather than liquidating DTCS. See the section of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Business Combination Proposal - Interests of Certain DTCS Persons in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

 

In connection with the Business Combination, certain related agreements have been or will be entered into on or prior to the closing of the Business Combination, including the Registration Rights Agreement, the Insider Support Agreement, the Company Support Agreement, and the Lock-Up Agreement (each as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus). See “Business Combination Proposal - Related Agreements” and “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for more information.

 

Pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, a holder of Public Shares (as defined below) (a “Public Shareholder”) may request to redeem all or a portion of such holder’s Public Shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. As a Public Shareholder, you will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if you:

 

  (i) (a) hold DTCS Ordinary Shares sold in the IPO (as defined below), whether they were purchased in the IPO as part of the DTCS Units (as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus) or thereafter in the open market (“Public Shares”) or (b) hold Public Shares through DTCS Units and elect to separate your DTCS Units into the underlying Public Shares (as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus) prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares;

 

 
 

 

  (ii) submit a written request to VStock Transfer LLC (“VStock”), DTCS’s transfer agent, including the legal name, phone number and address of the beneficial owner of the Public Shares for which redemption is requested, that DTCS redeem all or a portion of your Public Shares for cash; and
     
  (iii) deliver your share certificates for Public Shares (if any) along with other applicable redemption forms to VStock, physically or electronically through The Depository Trust Company.

 

Public Shareholders must complete the procedures for electing to redeem their Public Shares in the manner described above prior to [    ], Eastern Time, on [*], 2026 in order for their Public Shares to be redeemed.

 

Public Shareholders may elect to redeem Public Shares regardless of if or how they vote in respect of the Business Combination Proposal, and regardless of whether they hold Public Shares on the record date. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the Public Shares will be returned to the respective holder, broker or bank.

 

If a Public Shareholder properly exercises its right to redeem all or a portion of the Public Shares that it holds and timely delivers its share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms (as applicable) to VStock, and DTCS initiates the redemption of Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination (the “Redemption”) pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, DTCS will redeem such 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 (the “Trust Account”), calculated as of two (2) Business Days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Redemption Price”). For illustrative purposes, as of the record date, this would have amounted to approximately $[    ] per Public Share. Prior to exercising redemption rights, Public Shareholders should verify the market price of the DTCS 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. DTCS cannot assure shareholders that they will be able to sell their Public 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 our securities when our shareholders wish to sell their shares. If a Public Shareholder exercises its redemption rights in full, then it will be electing to exchange its Public Shares for cash and will no longer own Public Shares. Any request to redeem Public Shares, once made, may be requested to be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for submitting redemption requests, which is two (2) Business Days prior to the initially scheduled date of the extraordinary general meeting, and, thereafter, with DTCS’s consent, until the Redemption. However, no withdrawal will be permitted unless the DTCS Board determines (in its sole discretion) to permit the withdrawal of such redemption request (which it may do in whole or in part). If a Public Shareholder delivers its shares in connection with an election to redeem and subsequently decides prior to the deadline for submitting redemption requests not to elect to exercise such rights, it may simply request that DTCS instruct VStock to return the shares (physically or electronically). The holder can make such request by contacting VStock, at the address or email address listed in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. See “Extraordinary General Meeting of DTCS - Redemption Rights” of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your Public Shares for cash.

 

At the Redomestication Merger Effective Time, Pubco shall issue warrants to purchase a total of an additional 1,931,900 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock (the “Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants”) to (x) those Public Shareholders which, as of a time immediately prior to the Redomestication Merger Effective Time, have not tendered their DTCS Ordinary Shares at the Redemption and (y) all other holders of DTCS Ordinary Shares as of a time immediately prior to the Redomestication Merger (including, without limitation, the Sponsor, other Insiders and holders of other DTCS Ordinary Shares that are not Public Shares) (each, an “Eligible Warrant Recipient”). The DTCS Ordinary Shares held by the Eligible Warrant Recipients are hereby referred to as the “Eligible Parent Ordinary Shares.” For the avoidance of doubt, no Public Shareholder that has delivered to DTCS a notice of intention to exercise its right of Redemption prior to the DTCS extraordinary general meeting shall have the right to receive Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants. The Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants shall (a) have an exercise price of $2.00 per share of Pubco Class A Common Stock, and (b) shall be exercisable starting on the six month anniversary of the Closing date and for a period of eighteen months thereafter. Upon the effectiveness of Redomestication Merger, each Eligible Warrant Recipient shall receive a number of Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants determined by the following formula:

 

# of Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants = (Number of Eligible Parent Ordinary Shares Owned by Eligible Warrant Recipient/Total Number of Eligible Parent Ordinary Shares) X (1,931,900)

 

For the avoidance of doubt, “Eligible Parent Ordinary Shares” includes the DTCS Ordinary Shares plus the DTCS Ordinary Shares contained within the DTCS Units.

 

 
 

 

If you choose not to redeem your shares, then at the Redomestication Merger, you will receive a number of Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants determined pursuant to the above calculation. If you choose to redeem your shares, you will not receive any Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Public Shareholder, 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(d)(3) 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.

 

The Sponsor and each director and officer of DTCS have agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Business Combination, and to waive their redemption rights in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination with respect to any DTCS Ordinary Shares held by them. None of DTCS’s Sponsor, directors or officers received separate consideration for their waiver of redemption rights. The Founder Shares (as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus) held by the Sponsor will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share Redemption Price. As of the record date, the Sponsor owned approximately [____]% of the issued and outstanding DTCS Ordinary Shares.

 

The consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions by each of the parties, including among other things: (i) the approval of each Condition Precedent Proposal will have been obtained; (ii) no governmental authority will have enacted any law that makes such transactions contemplated illegal; (iii) the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part will have been declared effective under the Securities Act by the SEC and will remain effective as of the Closing; (iv) approval of the listing of the Pubco Class A Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), subject to satisfaction of the requirements for initial listing; and (v) the waiting period (and any extensions thereof) required under the Business Combination Agreement and any other Antitrust Laws (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) has expired or has been terminated and any approval required under any other Antitrust Laws has been obtained.

 

The DTCS Units, DTCS Ordinary Shares and DTCS Rights are currently listed on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbols “DTSQU”, “DTSQ” and “DTSQR”, respectively. Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, as a closing condition, (subject to certain exceptions), DTCS is required to cause the Pubco Class A Common Stock issued in connection with the Business Combination to be approved for listing on Nasdaq, but there can be no assurance that such listing condition will be met. If such listing condition is not met, the Business Combination will not be consummated unless the listing condition is waived by the parties to the Business Combination Agreement. The parties currently do not intend to waive the listing condition if Pubco’s Nasdaq listing application is not approved. In the event that the Nasdaq application is not approved and the parties do mutually agree to waive this condition, no recirculation or resolicitation of DTCS shareholders will occur prior to the extraordinary general meeting.] It is important for you to know that, at the time of our extraordinary general meeting, we may not have received from Nasdaq either confirmation of the issuance and listing of the Pubco Class A Common Stock or that approval will be obtained prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, and it is possible that the listing condition to the consummation of the Business Combination may be waived by the parties to the Business Combination Agreement. As a result, you may be asked to vote to approve the Business Combination and the other proposals included in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus without such confirmation, and, further, it is possible that such confirmation may never be received and the Business Combination could still be consummated if such condition is waived or is subject to an exception and therefore the Pubco securities would not be listed on any nationally recognized securities exchange.

 

 
 

 

For terms used in this notice but not otherwise defined herein, please refer to the Frequently Used Terms section of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

 

Your vote is very important. Whether or not you plan to attend the extraordinary general meeting, please vote as soon as possible by following the instructions in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus to make sure that your shares are represented at the extraordinary general meeting. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you will need to follow the instructions provided to you by your bank, broker or other nominee to ensure that your shares are represented and voted at the extraordinary general meeting or any adjournment thereof. The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement will be consummated only if the Condition Precedent Proposals are approved at the extraordinary general meeting, and if the other conditions to closing are satisfied or waived. Each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is cross-conditioned on the approval of each other Condition Precedent Proposal. The Incentive Plan Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Condition Precedent Proposals. The Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals and the Adjournment Proposal are not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal set forth in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

 

If you sign, date and return your proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your proxy will be voted “FOR” each of the proposals presented at the extraordinary general meeting. If you fail to return your proxy card or fail to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote, and do not attend the extraordinary general meeting in person, the effect will be, among other things, that your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the extraordinary general meeting and will not be voted. If you are a shareholder of record and you attend the extraordinary general meeting and wish to vote in person, you may withdraw your proxy and vote in person.

 

TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS, YOU MUST SUBMIT A WRITTEN REQUEST, INCLUDING THE LEGAL NAME, PHONE NUMBER AND ADDRESS OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNER OF THE SHARES FOR WHICH REDEMPTION IS REQUESTED, TO VSTOCK THAT YOUR PUBLIC SHARES BE REDEEMED FOR CASH AND DELIVER YOUR PUBLIC SHARES TO VSTOCK, PHYSICALLY OR ELECTRONICALLY USING THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY’S DWAC (DEPOSIT WITHDRAWAL AT CUSTODIAN) SYSTEM, IN EACH CASE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROCEDURES AND DEADLINES DESCRIBED IN THE ACCOMPANYING PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS. IF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION IS ABANDONED, THEN THE PUBLIC SHARES WILL NOT BE REDEEMED FOR CASH. IF YOU HOLD THE SHARES IN STREET NAME, YOU WILL NEED TO INSTRUCT THE ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE AT YOUR BANK OR BROKER TO WITHDRAW THE SHARES FROM YOUR ACCOUNT IN ORDER TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS. SEE “EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF DTCS - REDEMPTION RIGHTS” IN THE ACCOMPANYING PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS FOR MORE SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS.

 

On behalf of the DTCS Board, I would like to thank you for your support and look forward to the successful completion of the Business Combination.

 

Sincerely,  
   
   
Sam Zheng Sun  

Chief Executive Officer and

 

Chairman of the Board of Directors

  ● that PGUS has generated negative operating cash flows and expects to continue to experience negative cash flow for the foreseeable future;
     
  ● there may be time delays, unforeseen expenses, increased capital costs, and other complications;
     
  ● the risk that PGUS may be unable to raise the substantial additional capital required to fund its research and development programs;
     
  ● the highly competitive nature of the regenerative medicine industry and the potential for competitors to develop superior technologies;
     
  ● PGUS’s heavy reliance on intellectual property licenses from a related party and the risk that these rights could be terminated or diminished;
     
  ● any failure by management to manage growth properly could negatively impact our business;
     
  ● the inherent uncertainty, expense, and length of human clinical trials and the regulatory approval process with the FDA;
     
  ● PGUS’s dependence on a limited number of third-party contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs) for cell sourcing and processing;
     
  ● any failure to comply with the laws and regulations governing the use and disposal of biological and hazardous materials;
     
  ● failure to retain key personnel or attract additional qualified personnel;
     
  ● impacts of force majeure events;
     
  ● extensive and costly environmental requirements;
     
  ● the need to obtain and sustain governmental permits and approvals;
     
  ● failure to comply with applicable anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering and similar laws and regulations;
     
  ● costs of compliance with environmental, health and safety regulations;
     
  ● the impacts of climate change;
     
  ● possible litigation risks, including permit disputes (including in respect of access and/or validity of tenure), environmental claims, occupational health and safety claims and employee claims;
     
  ● the risk of administrative proceedings or litigation challenging the validity of PGUS’s licensed patents or alleging infringement of third-party rights; and
     
  ● the significant costs and management attention required to meet the requirements of being a public company in the United States.

If you hold your shares through a bank, broker or other nominee, you will need to take additional steps to participate in the extraordinary general meeting, as described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

 

Q. Why am I receiving this proxy statement/prospectus?
   
A. DTCS shareholders are being asked to consider and vote upon, among other proposals, a proposal to approve and adopt the Business Combination Agreement and approve the Business Combination. The Business Combination Agreement provides that, among other things, following the Redomestication Merger of DTCS to Delaware as described below, Merger Sub will merge with and into PGUS, with PGUS surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco, resulting in a combined company whereby Pubco will become the sole stockholder of PGUS, and substantially all of the assets and the business of the combined company will be held by PGUS, in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement as more fully described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Business Combination Proposal” for more detail.
   
  A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A, which is incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus, and you are encouraged to read it in its entirety.
   
  In connection with the completion of the Business Combination, DTCS will provide its Public Shareholders the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement and DTCS’s governing documents. DTCS will complete the Redemption of properly tendered Public Shares at least [one (1)] day prior to the Redomestication Merger. As a condition to, and at least one (1) day prior to the Closing, DTCS will change its jurisdiction of incorporation by effecting a deregistration under Section 206 of the Companies Act and a domestication under Section 388 of the DGCL, pursuant to which DTCS’s jurisdiction of incorporation will be changed from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Redomestication Merger Proposal” for additional information.
   
  THE VOTE OF PUBLIC SHAREHOLDERS IS IMPORTANT. PUBLIC SHAREHOLDERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO VOTE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER CAREFULLY REVIEWING THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS, INCLUDING THE ANNEXES AND THE ACCOMPANYING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF DTCS AND PGUS, CAREFULLY AND IN ITS ENTIRETY.
   
Q. What proposals are shareholders of DTCS being asked to vote upon?
   
A. At the extraordinary general meeting, DTCS is asking holders of DTCS Ordinary Shares to consider and vote upon:

 

  ● The Business Combination Proposal;
     
  ● The Redomestication Merger Proposal;
     
  ● The Stock Issuance Proposals;
     
  ● The Organizational Documents Proposal;

 

12

 

 

  ● The Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals;
     
  ● The Incentive Plan Proposal;
     
  ● The Director Election Proposal; and
     
  ● The Adjournment Proposal, if presented.

 

If DTCS’s shareholders do not approve each of the Condition Precedent Proposals, then unless certain conditions in the Business Combination Agreement are waived by the applicable parties to the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement could be terminated, and the Business Combination may not be consummated. See the sections of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Business Combination Proposal”, “The Redomestication Merger Proposal”, “The Stock Issuance Proposals”, “The Organizational Documents Proposal”, “The Incentive Plan Proposal”, and “The Director Election Proposal”.

 

DTCS will hold the extraordinary general meeting to consider and vote upon these proposals. This proxy statement/prospectus contains important information about the Business Combination and the other matters to be acted upon at the extraordinary general meeting. Shareholders of DTCS should read it carefully.

 

After careful consideration, the DTCS Board has determined that each of (a) the Business Combination Proposal, (b) the Redomestication Merger Proposal, (c) the Stock Issuance Proposals, (d) the Organizational Documents Proposal, (e) the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, (f) the Incentive Plan Proposal, (g) the Director Election Proposal, and (h) and the Adjournment Proposal, if presented, are in the best interests of DTCS and its shareholders and unanimously recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” each of those proposals.

 

Q. Are the proposals conditioned on one another?
   
A. Yes. The Business Combination is conditioned on the approval of each of the Condition Precedent Proposals at the extraordinary general meeting. Each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is cross-conditioned on the approval of each other Condition Precedent Proposal. The Incentive Plan Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Condition Precedent Proposals. The Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals and the Adjournment Proposal are not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal.
   
Q. Why is DTCS proposing the Business Combination?
   
A. DTCS was incorporated to effect a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, with one or more businesses or entities.

 

PGUS is a development stage biotechnology company that develops stem cell-based regenerative therapies using its proprietary stemXcell™ platform seeking to treat acute and chronic inflammatory diseases, subject to regulatory approvals.

 

Based on DTCS’s due diligence investigations of PGUS and the industry in which it operates, including the financial and other information provided by PGUS in the course of DTCS’s due diligence investigations, the DTCS Board believes that the Business Combination with PGUS is in the best interests of DTCS and its shareholders. However, there is no assurance of this. See “The Business Combination Proposal - The DTCS Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination” of this proxy statement/prospectus for additional information.

 

Although the DTCS Board believes that the Business Combination with PGUS presents a unique business combination opportunity and is in the best interests of DTCS and its shareholders, the DTCS Board did consider certain potentially material negative factors before arriving at that conclusion. These factors are discussed in greater detail in the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal - The DTCS Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination”, of this proxy statement/prospectus as well as in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Risk Factors - Risks Related to Our Business and Industry”.

Q. What will PGUS Stockholders receive in connection with the Business Combination?
   
A. Subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, the Redomestication Merger will occur, which will result in, among other things, the following, in each case, prior to or concurrently with the Acquisition Merger Effective Time:

 

  (a) the existing governing documents of Pubco will be amended and restated and become the Proposed Organizational Documents (as defined below) of PrimeGen US, Inc. as described in this proxy statement/prospectus;
     
  (b) immediately prior to the commencement of the Redomestication Merger, each issued and outstanding unit of DTCS will convert automatically by operation of law, on a one-for-one basis, into one DTCS Ordinary Share and one DTCS Right, and each issued and outstanding DTCS Right immediately prior to the Redomestication Merger Effective Time shall be converted into one-ninth (1/9) of one (1) DTCS Ordinary Share, and all units of DTCS shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist;
     
  (c) at the Redomestication Merger Effective Time, all of the issued and outstanding DTCS Ordinary Shares will automatically be converted into one share of Pubco Class A Common Stock. Simultaneously with such automatic conversion, at the Redomestication Merger Effective Time all DTCS Ordinary Shares shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist;
     
  (d) each share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001, of PGUS (the “PGUS Class A Common Stock”) and each share of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001, of PGUS (the “PGUS Class B Common Stock”, together with the PGUS Class A Common Stock, the “PGUS Common Stock”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Acquisition Merger Effective Time (other than shares to be canceled in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement and any Dissenting Shares (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement)) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a Pro Rata Share of the Merger Consideration;
     
  (e) at the Acquisition Merger Effective Time, if there are any shares of PGUS Common Stock that are owned by the Company as treasury shares prior to the Acquisition Merger Effective Time, such PGUS Common Stock shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist without any conversion thereof or payment therefor;
     
  (f) each option to purchase PGUS Class A Common Stock (each, a “PGUS Option”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Acquisition Merger Effective Time will be cancelled and automatically converted into an option with equivalent terms and conditions to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock of Pubco (“Pubco Option”);
     
  (g) each warrant to purchase shares of PGUS Class A Common Stock (each, a “PGUS Warrant”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Acquisition Merger Effective Time shall be cancelled and automatically converted into a warrant with equivalent terms and conditions to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock of Pubco (“Pubco Warrant”).

Q. How has the announcement of the Business Combination affected the trading price of the DTCS Ordinary Shares?
   
A. On [    ], 2026, the last trading date prior to the public announcement of the Business Combination, DTCS Units, DTCS Ordinary Shares and DTCS Rights closed at $[    ], $[    ] and $[    ], respectively. As of [    ], 2026, the last practicable trading day immediately prior to the filing date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the closing price for each DTCS Unit, DTCS Ordinary Shares and DTCS Rights was $[    ], $[    ] and $[    ] respectively.
   
Q. Why is DTCS proposing the Redomestication Merger?
   
A. The DTCS Board believes that there are significant advantages to Pubco that will arise as a result of a change of DTCS’s domicile to the State of Delaware, including (a) the prominence, predictability and flexibility of the DGCL, (b) Delaware’s well-established principles of corporate governance and (c) the increased ability for Delaware corporations to attract and retain qualified directors. Further, the DTCS Board believes that any direct benefit that the DGCL provides to a corporation also indirectly benefits its stockholders, who are the owners of the corporation. Each of the foregoing are discussed in greater detail in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Redomestication Merger Proposal - Reasons for the Redomestication Merger”.

 

To effect the Redomestication Merger, DTCS will file a notice of deregistration with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, together with the necessary accompanying documents, and file the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and a certificate of corporate domestication with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, under which DTCS will be domesticated and continue as a Delaware corporation.

 

The approval of the Redomestication Merger Proposal and the completion of the Redomestication Merger is a condition to closing the Business Combination under the Business Combination Agreement. The approval of the Redomestication Merger Proposal requires a special resolution, being the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the DTCS Ordinary Shares, who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting. Broker non-votes are not considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on a particular proposal under Cayman Islands law, assuming a valid quorum is established. In connection with DTCS’s IPO, DTCS entered into agreements with its officers and directors, and the Sponsor, pursuant to which each agreed to vote their DTCS Ordinary Shares in favor of Proposal 1 (The Business Combination Proposal). Such officers and directors and the Sponsor have agreed to vote their DTCS Ordinary Shares, as well as any DTCS Ordinary Shares they may purchase prior to the Extraordinary Meeting, in favor of the proposals. As a result, DTCS would not require any additional votes in favor of such proposals in order to have the Redomestication Merger Proposal approved.

Q. What amendments will be made to the Cayman Constitutional Documents?
   
A. The consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned, among other things, on the Redomestication Merger. Accordingly, in addition to voting on the Business Combination, DTCS’s shareholders are also being asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Redomestication Merger and replace the Cayman Constitutional Documents, in each case, under the Companies Act, with the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed By-Laws, in each case, under the DGCL, which differ materially from the Cayman Constitutional Documents. These differences are discussed in greater detail in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Redomestication Merger Proposal”.
   
Q. What are the material U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Redomestication Merger?
   
A.

As discussed more fully under “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” of this proxy statement/prospectus, it is intended that the Redomestication Merger will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the Code (a “Reorganization”). Whether the Redomestication Merger will qualify as a Reorganization is not free from doubt due to the absence of direct guidance on the application of Section 368(a)(1) of the Code to an entity that holds only investment-type assets. Accordingly, due to the absence of such guidance, it is not possible to predict whether the IRS or a court considering the issue would take a contrary position. If the Redomestication Merger does not qualify as a Reorganization, then a U.S. Holder that is deemed to exchange its DTCS Ordinary Shares for the consideration pursuant to the Redomestication Merger generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between (i) the fair market value of the Pubco Class A Common Stock received and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the DTCS Ordinary Shares deemed exchanged therefor.

 

If the Redomestication Merger qualifies as a Reorganization, and subject to the “passive foreign investment company” (“PFIC”) rules discussed below and under “Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for Holders of DTCS Securities and Pubco Securities - II. U.S. Holders - A. Tax Effects of the Redomestication Merger to U.S. Holders - 5. PFIC Considerations”, U.S. Holders (as defined in the subsection entitled “- II. U.S. Holders”) generally will be subject to Section 367(b) of the Code in connection with the Redomestication Merger and, as a result:

 

  ● a U.S. Holder who beneficially owns (directly, indirectly or constructively) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of DTCS shares entitled to vote or 10% or more of the total value of all classes of DTCS shares (a “10% U.S. Shareholder”) on the date of the Redomestication Merger generally will be required to include in income as a deemed dividend deemed paid by DTCS the “all earnings and profits amount” (as defined in the Treasury Regulations under Section 367 of the Code) attributable to the DTCS Ordinary Shares held directly by such U.S. Holder;
     
  ● a U.S. Holder who, on the date of the Redomestication Merger, is not a 10% U.S. Shareholder and whose DTCS Ordinary Shares have a fair market value of $50,000 or more on the date of the Redomestication Merger generally will recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to its DTCS Ordinary Shares as if such U.S. Holder exchanged its DTCS Ordinary Shares for Pubco Class A Common Stock in a taxable transaction unless such U.S. Holder elects in accordance with applicable Treasury Regulations under Section 367 of the Code to include in income as a deemed dividend deemed paid by DTCS the “all earnings and profits” amount attributable to such U.S. Holder’s DTCS Ordinary Shares; and
     
  ● a U.S. Holder who, on the date of the Redomestication Merger, is not a 10% U.S. Shareholder and whose DTCS Ordinary Shares have a fair market value of less than $50,000 on the date of the Redomestication Merger generally will not recognize any gain or loss or include any part of the “all earnings and profits amount” in income under Section 367 of the Code in connection with the Redomestication Merger.

As discussed more fully under “Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for Holders of DTCS Securities and Pubco Securities - II. U.S. Holders - A. Tax Effects of the Redomestication Merger to U.S. Holders - 5. PFIC Considerations”, DTCS believes that it may be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for current taxable year that will end as a result of the Redomestication. If DTCS were classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for its current taxable year, then notwithstanding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Redomestication Merger discussed in the foregoing, proposed Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code and certain other PFIC rules (which have retroactive effective dates), if finalized in their current form, or if gain recognition under Section 1291(f) of the Code is effective even in the absence of final Treasury Regulations, generally would require a U.S. Holder to recognize gain (but not loss) on the exchange of DTCS Ordinary Shares for Pubco Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Redomestication Merger. Any such gain would be taxable income with no corresponding receipt of cash in the Redomestication Merger. The tax on any such gain would be imposed at the rate applicable to ordinary income and an interest charge would apply based on a complex set of rules. In addition, the proposed Treasury Regulations provide coordinating rules with other sections of the Code, including Section 367(b), which affect the manner in which the rules under such other sections apply to transfers of PFIC stock. However, it is difficult to predict whether, in what form, and with what effective date, final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code and such other PFIC rules may be adopted if at all, and, further, whether the IRS would take the position that Section 1291(f) of the Code is effective in the absence of final Treasury Regulations. Importantly, however, U.S. Holders that make or have made certain elections discussed further under “Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for Holders of DTCS Securities and Pubco Securities - II. U.S. Holders - A. Tax Effects of the Redomestication Merger to U.S. Holders - 5. PFIC Considerations - e. QEF Election and Mark-to-Market Election” with respect to their DTCS Ordinary Shares are generally not subject to the same gain recognition rules under the currently proposed Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code. For a more complete discussion of the potential application of the PFIC rules to U.S. Holders as a result of the Redomestication Merger, see “Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for Holders of DTCS Securities and Pubco Securities - II. U.S. Holders”.

 

Each U.S. Holder is urged to consult its own tax advisor concerning the application of the PFIC rules, including the proposed Treasury Regulations, to the exchange of DTCS Ordinary Shares for Pubco Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Redomestication Merger.

 

Additionally, the Redomestication Merger may cause Non-U.S. Holders (as defined in “Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for Holders of DTCS Securities and Pubco Securities - III. Non-U.S. Holders”) to become subject to U.S. federal income withholding taxes on any amounts treated as dividends paid in respect of such Non-U.S. Holder’s DTCS Ordinary Shares after the Redomestication Merger.

 

The tax consequences of the Redomestication Merger are complex and will depend on a holder’s particular circumstances. All holders are urged to consult their tax advisor regarding the tax consequences to them of the Redomestication Merger, including the applicability and effect of U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax laws. For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Redomestication Merger, see “Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for Holders of DTCS Securities and Pubco Securities”.

 

Q. What are the material U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Acquisition Merger? 
   
A. DTCS and holders of DTCS Ordinary Shares are not expected to be subject to any material U.S. federal income tax consequences as a result of the Acquisition Merger. If the Acquisition Mergers qualifies as a reorganization, then PGUS Stockholders generally are not expected to recognize taxable gain or loss as a result of the receipt of Pubco stock in exchange for PGUS stock in the Acquisition Merger. However, if the Acquisition Merger does not qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, the PGUS Stockholders generally are expected to recognize taxable gain or loss with respect to such exchange. For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Acquisition Merger, see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations of the Acquisition Merger for Holders of PGUS Stock and PGUS”.

Q. Do I have redemption rights?
   
A. If you are a Public Shareholder, you have the right to request that we redeem all or a portion of your Public Shares for cash provided that you follow the procedures and deadlines described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. Public Shareholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of the Public Shares held by them regardless of if or how they vote in respect of the Business Combination Proposal and regardless of whether they hold Public Shares on the record date. If you wish to exercise your redemption rights, please see the answer to the next question: “How do I exercise my redemption rights?”.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Public Shareholder, 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(d)(3) 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, without the prior consent of DTCS. 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.

 

The Sponsor and DTCS’s independent directors have agreed to waive their respective redemption rights with respect to all of the Founder Shares in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. The Founder Shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the Redemption Price.

 

Q: May DTCS Public Shareholders redeem their Public Shares and retain their Public Rights?

 

A: Yes. DTCS Public Shareholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination and retain their Public Rights. The Public Rights will remain outstanding in accordance with their terms, including for holders who elect to redeem their Public Shares, unless otherwise provided under the governing documents for the Public Rights.

 

Q: How could the ability of Public Shareholders to redeem their Public Shares while retaining their Public Rights affect non-redeeming Public Shareholders?

 

A: The ability of Public Shareholders to redeem their Public Shares while retaining their Public Rights may create a divergence of interests between redeeming and non-redeeming Public Shareholders. A redeeming Public Shareholder may receive cash from the Trust Account for its redeemed Public Shares while continuing to hold Public Rights that may become exercisable for, or convert into, shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock following the Business Combination. As a result, redeeming Public Shareholders may retain the opportunity to participate in potential upside of the combined company through their Public Rights without retaining the same economic exposure to Pubco as non-redeeming Public Shareholders.

 

Redemptions by Public Shareholders will reduce the amount of cash available to Pubco following the Business Combination and may increase the relative ownership interest of the Sponsor and other continuing equityholders in Pubco. In addition, to the extent Public Rights held by redeeming Public Shareholders become exercisable for, or convert into, shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock after the Business Combination, the issuance of such shares would dilute the ownership interests of non-redeeming Public Shareholders. Accordingly, non-redeeming Public Shareholders may bear a greater portion of the dilutive impact of the Public Rights, including Public Rights retained by redeeming Public Shareholders, and may experience greater dilution than they would have experienced if redeeming Public Shareholders were required to forfeit their Public Rights upon redemption of their Public Shares.

 

Q. How do I exercise my redemption rights?
   
A. If you are a Public Shareholder and wish to exercise your right to redeem the Public Shares, you must:

 

  (a) (i) hold Public Shares or (ii) hold Public Shares through DTCS Units and elect to separate your DTCS Units into the underlying Public Shares and DTCS Rights prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares;
     
  (b) submit a written request to VStock, including the legal name, phone number and address of the beneficial owner of the Public Shares for which redemption is requested, that DTCS redeem all or a portion of your Public Shares for cash; and
     
  (c) deliver your share certificates for Public Shares (if any) along with the redemption forms to VStock, physically or electronically through DTC.

 

Public Shareholders must complete the procedures for electing to redeem their Public Shares in the manner described above prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [    ], 2026 (two (2) Business Days before the initial scheduled date of the extraordinary general meeting) in order for their Public Shares to be redeemed.

 

The address of VStock is listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” of this proxy statement/prospectus.

 

Public Shareholders will be entitled to request that their Public Shares be redeemed for the Redemption Price. For illustrative purposes, as of the record date, this would have amounted to approximately $[    ] per issued and outstanding Public Share. However, the proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of DTCS’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Public Shareholders. Therefore, the per share distribution from the Trust Account in such a situation may be less than originally expected due to such claims. Whether you vote, and if you do vote, how you vote, on any proposal, including the Business Combination Proposal, will have no impact on the amount you will receive upon exercise of your redemption rights. It is expected that the funds to be distributed to Public Shareholders electing to redeem their Public Shares will be distributed promptly after the consummation of the Business Combination.

 

Any request for redemption, once made, may be requested to be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests and thereafter, with DTCS’s consent, until the Redemption, which will take effect at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Redomestication Merger. However, no withdrawal will be permitted unless the DTCS Board determines (in its sole discretion) to permit the withdrawal of such redemption request (which it may do in whole or in part). Furthermore, if a holder of a Public Share delivers its share certificates (if any) along with the redemption forms in connection with an election of its redemption and subsequently decides prior to the applicable date not to elect to exercise such rights, it may simply request that DTCS permit the withdrawal of the request for redemption and instruct VStock, to return the share certificates (physically or electronically). The holder can make such request by contacting VStock, at the address or email address listed in this proxy statement/prospectus.

 

18

 

 

Any corrected or changed written exercise of redemption rights must be received by VStock at least two (2) Business Days prior to the initial scheduled date of the extraordinary general meeting. No request for redemption will be honored unless the holder’s certificates for Public Shares (if any) along with the redemption forms have been delivered (either physically or electronically) to VStock, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the initial scheduled date of the extraordinary general meeting.

 

If a Public Shareholder properly makes a request for redemption and the certificates for Public Shares (if any) along with the redemption forms are delivered as described above, then, if the Business Combination is consummated, DTCS will redeem the Public Shares for a pro rata portion of funds deposited in the Trust Account, calculated as of two (2) Business Days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. If the Business Combination is abandoned, the Public Shares will be returned to the respective holder, broker or bank.

 

Q: Will I receive Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants issued by Pubco at Closing?
   
A: At the Redomestication Merger Effective Time, Pubco shall issue warrants to purchase a total of an additional 1,931,900 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock (the “Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants”) to (x) those Public Shareholders which, as of a time immediately prior to the Redomestication Merger Effective Time, have not tendered their DTCS Ordinary Shares at the Redemption and (y) all other holders of DTCS Ordinary Shares as of a time immediately prior to the Redomestication Merger (including, without limitation, the Sponsor, other Insiders and holders of other DTCS Ordinary Shares that are not Public Shares) (each, an “Eligible Warrant Recipient”) at $2.00 per share, which shall be exercisable starting on the six month anniversary of the date of Closing and will expire on the date that is one year after the initial exercise date (or 18 months after the Closing, if earlier). The DTCS Ordinary Shares held by the Eligible Warrant Recipients are hereby referred to as the “Eligible Parent Ordinary Shares.” For the avoidance of doubt, no Public Shareholder that has delivered to DTCS a notice of intention to exercise its right of Redemption prior to the DTCS extraordinary general meeting shall have the right to receive Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants. The Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants shall (a) have an exercise price of $2.00 per share of Pubco Class A Common Stock, and (b) shall be exercisable starting on the six month anniversary of the Closing date and for a period of eighteen months thereafter. Upon the effectiveness of Redomestication Merger, each Eligible Warrant Recipient shall receive a number of Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants determined by the following formula:

 

# of Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants = (Number of Eligible Parent Ordinary Shares Owned by Eligible Warrant Recipient/Total Number of Eligible Parent Ordinary Shares) X (1,931,900)

 

For the avoidance of doubt, “Eligible Parent Ordinary Shares” includes the DTCS Ordinary Shares plus the DTCS Ordinary Shares contained within the DTCS Units.

 

If you choose not to redeem your shares, then at the Redomestication Merger, you will receive a number of Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants determined pursuant to the above calculation. If you choose to redeem your shares, you will not receive any Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants.

 

Q. What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising my redemption rights?
   
A. The U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising your redemption rights with respect to your Public Shares depend on your particular facts and circumstances. It is possible that you may be treated as selling your Public Shares and, as a result, recognize capital gain or capital loss. It is also possible that the Redemption may be treated as a distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Whether a redemption of your Public Shares qualifies for sale treatment will generally depend on the total number of shares of DTCS you are treated as owning before and after the redemption (including any shares that you constructively own as a result of owning any shares that you directly or indirectly acquire pursuant to the Business Combination) relative to all of the shares of DTCS outstanding both before and after the redemption. Redeeming U.S. Holders may be subject to the PFIC rules with respect to any gain or loss recognized by the U.S. Holder on its deemed sale of its DTCS Ordinary Shares (if the redemption were treated as a sale of shares) or any corporate distributions deemed received on its DTCS Ordinary Shares (if the redemption were treated as a corporate distribution). For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax considerations of an exercise of redemption rights, see “Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for Holders of DTCS Securities and Pubco Securities.”
   
  All Public Shareholders considering exercising redemption rights are urged to consult their tax advisor on the tax consequences to them of an exercise of redemption rights, including the applicability and effect of U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax laws.

Q. What happens to the funds deposited in the Trust Account after consummation of the Business Combination?
   
A. Following the closing of the IPO (including exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriters of the IPO), an amount equal to $[    ] ($[    ] per DTCS Unit) of the net proceeds from the IPO was placed in the Trust Account. As of the record date, funds in the Trust Account totaled $[    ] and were comprised entirely of U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of [185] days or less or of money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. These funds, plus the monthly Extension Expenses will remain in the Trust Account, except for the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes, if any, until the earliest of (a) the completion of a business combination (including the Closing), (b) the redemption of all of the Public Shares if DTCS is unable to complete a business combination by October 26, 2026 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called general meeting, such later date) and (c) the redemption of any Public Shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Cayman Constitutional Documents (A) to modify the substance or timing of DTCS’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares in connection with its initial business combination or if it does not complete a business combination by October 26, 2026 (or such later date approved at a duly called general meeting) or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, subject to applicable law.
   
  DTCS held its 2025 Annual Meeting on October 22, 2025. At the Annual Meeting, the shareholders approved the Extension Proposal, allowing DTCS to extend the Business Combination Period to October 26, 2026, by depositing $75,000 into the Trust Account for each monthly extension. In connection with the shareholders’ vote on the Extension Proposal, 5,247,491 shares, or 76.05% of the shares owned by public shareholders, were tendered for redemption, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $[57,318,850], at a per-share redemption price of approximately $10.82 per share. After giving effect to such redemptions, approximately $18.3 million remained in the Trust Account as of June 10, 2026; and 1,652,509 Public Shares, and 3,653,409 DTCS Ordinary Shares, remained outstanding.
   
  On each of October 22, 2025, November 28, 2025 and January 6, 2026, DTCS deposited $75,000 into the Trust Account for monthly extensions. On March 16, 2026, DTCS deposited an additional $150,000 into the Trust Account representing monthly extension payments through March 2026. A payment in the amount of $225,000 was deposited into the Trust Account on July 10, 2026; and a payment in the amount of $75,000 was deposited into the Trust Account on July 14, 2026.
   
  In connection with the Business Combination, the funds deposited in the Trust Account will be released to pay holders of Public Shares who properly exercise their redemption rights; to pay transaction fees and expenses associated with the Business Combination; and for working capital and general corporate purposes of Pubco following the Business Combination.
   
Q. Did the DTCS Board obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination?
   
A. The DTCS Board did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with the determination to approve the Business Combination. The DTCS Board believes that based upon the financial skills and background of its directors, it was qualified to conclude that the Business Combination was in the best interest of DTCS and its shareholders.
   
  The IPO Prospectus provides that “[w]e are not required to obtain an opinion from an unaffiliated third party that the target business we select has a fair market value in excess of at least 80% of the balance of the trust account unless our board of directors cannot make such determination on its own. We are also not required to obtain an opinion from an unaffiliated third party indicating that the price we are paying is fair to our shareholders from a financial point of view unless the target is affiliated with our officers, directors, initial shareholders or their affiliates.”
   
  The DTCS Board also determined, without seeking a valuation from a financial advisor, that PGUS’s fair market value was at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (less any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned) at the time of the signing of the Business Combination Agreement. This determination was primarily based on the DTCS diligence that confirmed the quality of PGUS’s leadership team in charge of R&D and FDA applications at PGUS, as well as DTCS’s confirmation of PGUS’s regulatory preparedness. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Background of the Business Combination” starting on page 129. Accordingly, investors will be relying on the judgment of the DTCS Board in valuing PGUS’s business, and assuming the risk that the DTCS Board may not have properly valued such business. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Risk Factors - DTCS’s Business and the Business Combination”.
   
Q. What happens if a substantial number of the Public Shareholders vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and exercise their redemption rights?
   
A. Our Public Shareholders are not required to vote in respect of the Business Combination in order to exercise their redemption rights. Accordingly, the Business Combination may be consummated even though the funds available from the Trust Account and the number of Public Shareholders are reduced as a result of redemptions by Public Shareholders.

In the event of significant redemptions, with fewer Public Shares and Public Shareholders, the trading market for Pubco Class A Common Stock may be less liquid than the market for shares of DTCS Ordinary Shares was prior to the Business Combination, and Pubco may not be able to meet the listing standards for Nasdaq or another national securities exchange.

 

In addition, with fewer funds available from the Trust Account, the capital infusion from the Trust Account into Pubco’s business will be reduced and Pubco may not be able to achieve its business plans. In addition, without additional funds from the PIPE Financing in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, it is possible that a maximum redemption scenario would result in a cash deficit, in which event the parties likely would need to find additional sources of funding for the operations of Pubco.

 

For information on the relative ownership levels of holders of Pubco equity securities following the Business Combination under varying redemption scenarios and the fully diluted relative ownership levels of holders of Pubco equity securities following the Business Combination under varying redemption scenarios, see “Potential Impact of Additional Dilution”.

 

Q: Do any of the directors or officers of DTCS have interests that may conflict with my interests with respect to the Business Combination?
   
A: Directors and officers of DTCS may have interests in the Business Combination that are different from your interests as a shareholder. The following table sets forth information regarding directors and officers of DTCS and the Sponsor’s beneficial interests in securities of DTCS as at [    ], 2026:

 

Shareholder(1) 

Number of DTCS

Ordinary Shares

  

Number of

DTCS Units

 
Sam Zheng Sun (2)   0    0 
Kenneth Lam (2)   0    0 
Jiayi Liang   0    0 
Shaoke Li   0    0 
Longjiao Li   0    0 
Chi Zhang   0    0 
All directors and executive officers (six (6) individuals) as a group   0    0 

 

Notes:

 

(1) Unless otherwise indicated, the business address of each of the individuals or entities is c/o DT Cloud Star Management Limited, Office 51, 10th Floor, Hudson Yards, New York, NY 10001.
   
(2) The Sponsor is the record holder of the Founder Shares reported herein. It is controlled 80% by Mr. Jin Xin, and 20% by Mr. Guojian Chen (a non-U.S. person) through his 100% ownership of Infinity-Star Holdings Limited, which is the record owner of 20% of the Sponsor’s outstanding shares. Mr. Chen is the sole director of the Sponsor. By virtue of these relationships, each of Mr. Xin and Mr. Chen may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of the securities held of record by our Sponsor.

As a result of the interests of the Initial Shareholders in securities of DTCS, the Initial Shareholders will benefit from the completion of the Business Combination and therefore may be incentivized to complete the Business Combination even if it is with a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to shareholders of DTCS, rather than liquidate. They may have a conflict of interest in the transaction, including without limitation, in determining whether a particular business is an appropriate business with which to effect the initial business combination of DTCS.

 

The exercise of discretion of directors’ and officers’ of DTCS 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 or waivers are appropriate and in best interests of the shareholders of DTCS.

 

Our Sponsor will lose its entire investment in us if we do not complete a business combination by October 26, 2026 (or if such date is extended at a duly called meeting of the DTCS shareholders, such later date). If we do not consummate a business combination by such date, as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten (10) Business Days thereafter, we are required to redeem the Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, subject to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, the 1,725,000 Founder Shares purchased by our Sponsor for approximately $25,000, including 200,000 Founder Shares to be transferred to one unaffiliated third-party DTCS shareholder, pursuant to a non-redemption agreement dated October 21, 2025, would be worthless because following the redemption of the Public Shares, we would likely have few, if any, net assets and because the Sponsor and the independent directors of DTCS have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if we fail to complete a business combination within the required period.

 

In addition, if we do not complete a business combination by October 26, 2026 (or if such date is extended at a duly called meeting of the DTCS shareholders, such later date), the Sponsor also would lose its rights to receive (a) Non-Redemption Warrants, (b) a convertible promissory note issued to the Sponsor on October 23, 2025 for the payment of Extension Expenses, (c) repayments of additional amounts loaned to DTCS after October 23, 2025 for monthly Trust Account deposits, (d) the Sponsor Closing Payment, (e) the Sponsor Closing Note and (f) the possible reimbursement from PGUS of unreimbursed administrative services fees. See “Certain Interests of DTCS’s Directors and Officers and Others in the Business Combination” for additional information.

 

Q. Do any of the directors, officers, affiliates or advisors of PGUS have interests that may conflict with my interests with respect to the Business Combination?

 

Yes. In considering the recommendation of the Business Combination, Public Shareholders should be aware that certain directors, executive officers, affiliates and advisors of PGUS have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of Public Shareholders. These interests include, among others:

 

  ● the right of PGUS to designate six of the seven directors of Pubco following the Closing, including the appointment of Daniel Chiu as a director and as the expected Chief Executive Officer of Pubco;
  ● the expectation that certain current directors and executive officers of PGUS will continue to serve as directors and executive officers of Pubco and receive compensation in those capacities, including pursuant to employment arrangements that are expected to be entered into following the Closing;
  ● the expectation that certain current directors of PGUS will be eligible to receive compensation under Pubco’s non-employee director compensation program following the Closing;
  ● the acceleration of vesting of certain warrants held by Daniel Chiu, the Co-CEO and chairman of PGUS, and Wai Sun Szeto, the Co-CEO and director of PGUS, upon consummation of the Business Combination;
  ● the potential repayment upon Closing of certain promissory notes held by or affiliated with Dora E. Chan, the chief financial officer and a director of PGUS, and Rita YuKa Wong, the spouse of Daniel Chiu;
  ● continuing indemnification rights for PGUS’s current directors and officers; and
  ● registration rights that will be granted to certain stockholders of PGUS following the Closing.

 

For additional information, see “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of the PGUS Directors and Executive Officers.”

 

Q. What fees are payable in connection with the Business Combination?
   
A. Pursuant to that certain Underwriting Agreement between DTCS and A.G.P., as representative of the several underwriters, dated July 24, 2024, DTCS agreed to pay to A.G.P. $690,000, the Deferred Underwriting Commission, upon the consummation of an initial business combination. In addition, PGUS has engaged A.G.P. to act as its financial advisor and placement agent with respect to the Business Combination. Solely in connection with the Business Combination, DTCS and A.G.P. have agreed that upon consummation of the Business Combination, DTCS will pay to A.G.P. the Deferred Underwriting Commission. A.G.P. has not provided any report or opinion to DTCS in connection with the Business Combination and has no further engagement with DTCS. For the Business Combination, A.G.P. is solely engaged by PGUS.
   
  On February 12, 2025, PGUS and A.G.P. executed an M&A Advisory Agreement whereby A.G.P. was engaged as PGUS’s exclusive financial advisor with respect to any proposed business combination with a special purpose acquisition company listed on Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange (“M&A Advisory Agreement”) and acknowledged that A.G.P. may have an ongoing relationship with a potential public company. Upon the closing of the Business Combination, A.G.P. is entitled to receive from PGUS (i) one percent (1%) of the Transaction Value as defined in the M&A Advisory Agreement, less previous cash payments of both $50,000 upon engagement by PGUS and $150,000 upon execution of the Business Combination Agreement, which may be comprised of (a) cash, (b) equity or debt securities or other equity interests, (c) the face amount of any of PGUS indebtedness for borrowed money that is assumed or repaid by PGUS or its counterpart in connection with the Business Combination at Closing, and (d) any other consideration paid, transferred, or otherwise assumed to consummate the transaction, including but not limited to the value of any assets or intellectual property left in PGUS, as well as the value of the exchange vehicle; and (ii) two percent (2%) of the Transaction Value (as defined in the M&A Advisory Agreement) in the form of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock that will be subject to a six (6) month lock-up.
   
Q. What conditions must be satisfied to complete the Business Combination?
   
A. The consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions by each of the parties, including among other things: (i) the approval of each Condition Precedent Proposal will have been obtained; (ii) no governmental authority will have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any law (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) or order that is then in effect and which has the effect of making the transactions or agreements contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement illegal or which otherwise prevents or prohibits consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement; (iii) the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part will have been declared effective under the Securities Act by the SEC and will remain effective as of the Closing, and no stop order or similar order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part will have been issued and be in effect with respect to the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part and no proceedings for that purpose will have been initiated or threatened by the SEC and not withdrawn; (iv) the shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Business Combination will be conditionally approved for listing upon the Closing on Nasdaq subject to any requirement to have a sufficient number of round lot holders of the Pubco Class A Common Stock (provided that such condition will not apply to the extent the shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock have not been conditionally approved for listing due to a failure to meet any “market value of publicly held securities” or similarly titled requirement as a result of PGUS not permitting a sufficient number of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock to be issued to non-affiliates pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement to be excluded from lock-up or other contractual restriction); and (v) as of the Closing, the members of the Pubco Board shall have been elected or appointed consistent with the requirements of the Business Combination Agreement. We cannot assure you as to whether these conditions will be satisfied or waived. For more information about conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination, see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Business Combination Proposal - Business Combination Agreement”.

Q. When do you expect the Business Combination to be completed?
   
A. DTCS initially had 15 months (the “Business Combination Period”) to complete a business combination after its IPO. DTCS held its 2025 Annual Meeting on October 22, 2025. At the Annual Meeting, the shareholders approved the Extension Proposal, allowing DTCS to extend the Business Combination Period to October 26, 2026, by depositing $75,000 into the Trust Account for each monthly extension, with each such extension payment due on the 26th day of each month. In connection with the shareholders’ vote on the Extension Proposal, 5,247,491 shares, or 76.05% of the shares owned by public shareholders, were tendered for redemption, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $57,318,850, at a per-share redemption price of approximately $10.82 per share. After giving effect to such redemptions, approximately $18.3 million remained in the Trust Account as of June 10, 2026; and 1,652,509 Public Shares, and 3,653,409 DTCS Ordinary Shares, remained outstanding. It is currently expected that the Business Combination will be consummated in in the third quarter of 2026. This date depends, among other things, on the approval of the proposals to be put to DTCS shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting. However, such meeting could be adjourned if the Adjournment Proposal is adopted by DTCS’s shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting and DTCS elects to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or convenient, (i) to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with the approval of one or more proposals at the extraordinary general meeting, (ii) if DTCS determines that one or more of the conditions to Closing is not or will not be satisfied or waived or (iii) to facilitate the Redomestication Merger or any other Transaction. For a description of the conditions for the completion of the Business Combination, see “The Business Combination Proposal - Business Combination Agreement” of this proxy statement/prospectus.
   
Q. What happens if the Business Combination is not consummated?
   
A. DTCS will not complete the Redomestication Merger to the State of Delaware unless all other conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination have been satisfied or waived by the parties in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement (or by their nature are to be satisfied at Closing). If DTCS is not able to complete the Business Combination with PGUS by October 26, 2026 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called general meeting, such later date) and is not able to complete another business combination by such date, in each case, as such date may be extended pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, DTCS will, as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten (10) Business Days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, subject to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
   
Q. Do I have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination?
   
A. Neither DTCS’s shareholders nor DTCS’s warrant holders have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination or the Redomestication Merger under Cayman Islands law or under the DGCL.
   
Q. What do I need to do now?
   
A. DTCS urges you to read this proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and the documents referred to herein, carefully and in their entirety and to consider how the Business Combination will affect you as a shareholder or warrant holder. DTCS’s 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. If you are a holder of record of DTCS Ordinary Shares on the record date for the extraordinary general meeting, you may vote in person (including virtually) at the extraordinary general meeting or by submitting a proxy for the extraordinary general 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, bank or nominee 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 extraordinary general meeting and vote in person, obtain a valid proxy from your broker, bank or nominee.
   
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, and you may need to obtain a proxy form from the institution that holds your shares and follow the instructions included on that form regarding how to instruct your broker, bank or nominee as to how to vote your shares. Under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your shares with respect to non-discretionary matters unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank or nominee. We believe all the proposals presented to the shareholders will be considered non-discretionary and therefore your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your shares without your instruction. Your broker, bank or other nominee can vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. As the beneficial holder, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee as to how to vote your shares and you should instruct your broker to vote your shares in accordance with directions you provide. 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”. Broker non-votes are not considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on a particular proposal under Cayman Islands law, assuming a valid quorum is established.

Q. When and where will the extraordinary general meeting be held?
   
A. The extraordinary general meeting will be held at [    ], Eastern Time, on [    ], 2026 at the offices of [    ] located at [    ], and virtually via live webcast at [    ].
   
Q. Who is entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting?
   
A. DTCS has fixed [    ], 2026 as the record date for the extraordinary general meeting. If you were a shareholder of DTCS at the close of business on the record date, you are entitled to vote on matters that come before the extraordinary general meeting. However, a shareholder may only vote his or her shares if he or she is present in person (including virtually) or is represented by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting.
   
Q. How many votes do I have?
   
A. DTCS shareholders are entitled to one vote at the extraordinary general meeting for each DTCS Ordinary Share held of record as of the record date. As of the close of business on the record date for the extraordinary general meeting, there were 3,419,314 DTCS Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, of which 1,602,509 were issued and outstanding Public Shares.
   
Q. What constitutes a quorum?
   
A. A quorum of DTCS shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the extraordinary general meeting if the holders of a simple majority of the issued and outstanding DTCS Ordinary Shares entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting are represented in person or by proxy. As of the record date for the extraordinary general meeting, [*] DTCS Ordinary Shares would be required to achieve a quorum.
   
Q. What vote is required to approve each proposal at the extraordinary general meeting?
   
A. Business Combination Proposal - The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a simple majority of the DTCS Ordinary Shares, who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. DTCS would not need the Public Shares not held by affiliates, to be voted in favor of the Business Combination in order to approve the Business Combination Proposal (assuming all outstanding shares are voted). If only the minimum number of shares representing a quorum are voted, no additional shares would need to be voted in favor of the Business Combination in order to approve the Business Combination Proposal. The Business Combination was not structured to require the approval of at least a majority of DTCS’s unaffiliated shareholders because such a vote is not required under Cayman Islands law.

 

Redomestication Proposal - The approval of the Redomestication Merger Proposal requires a special resolution, being the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the Ordinary Shares, who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. In connection with DTCS’s IPO, DTCS entered into agreements with its officers and directors, and the Sponsor, pursuant to which each agreed to vote their DTCS Ordinary Shares in favor of Proposal 1 (The Business Combination Proposal). Such officers and directors and the Sponsor have agreed to vote their DTCS Ordinary Shares, as well as any DTCS Ordinary Shares they may purchase prior to the Extraordinary Meeting, in favor of the proposals. As a result, DTCS would not require any additional votes in favor of such proposals in order to have the Redomestication Merger Proposal approved.

 

24

 

 

Stock Issuance Proposals - The approval of each of the Stock Issuance Proposals requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of holders of a simple majority of the DTCS Ordinary Shares, who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. DTCS would not need the Public Shares not held by affiliates, to be voted in favor of the Stock Issuance Proposals in order to approve the Stock Issuance Proposals (assuming all outstanding shares are voted). If only the minimum number of shares representing a quorum are voted, no additional shares would need to be voted in favor of the Stock Issuance Proposals in order to approve the Stock Issuance Proposals.

 

Organizational Documents Proposal - The approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal requires a special resolution, being the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the DTCS Ordinary Shares, who being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. If only the minimum number of shares representing a quorum are voted, DTCS would not need Public Shares not held by affiliates, to be voted in favor in order to approve the Organizational Documents Proposal.

 

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals - The separate approval of each of the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, each of which is a non-binding vote, requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of holders of a simple majority of the DTCS Ordinary Shares, who being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. If only the minimum number of shares representing a quorum are voted, DTCS would not need the Public Shares not held by affiliates, to be voted in favor in order to approve each of the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals.

 

Incentive Plan Proposal - The approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a simple majority of the DTCS Ordinary Shares, who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. As of the record date, the Sponsor owned approximately [52.88]% of the issued and outstanding DTCS Ordinary Shares. As a result, DTCS would not need the Public Shares not held by affiliates, to be voted in favor in order to approve the Incentive Plan Proposal (assuming all outstanding shares are voted). If only the minimum number of shares representing a quorum are voted, no additional shares would need to be voted in favor in order to approve the Incentive Plan Proposal.

 

Director Election Proposal - The approval of the Director Election Proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a simple majority of the DTCS Ordinary Shares, who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. As of the record date, the Sponsor owned approximately [52.88]% of the issued and outstanding DTCS Ordinary Shares. As a result, DTCS would not need the Public Shares not held by affiliates, to be voted in favor in order to approve the Director Election Proposal (assuming all outstanding shares are voted). If only the minimum number of shares representing a quorum are voted, no additional shares would need to be voted in favor in order to approve the Director Election Proposal.

 

Adjournment Proposal - The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a simple majority of the DTCS Ordinary Shares, who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. As of the record date, the Sponsor owned approximately [52.88]% of the issued and outstanding DTCS Ordinary Shares. As a result, DTCS would not need the Public Shares not held by affiliates, to be voted in favor in order to approve the Adjournment Proposal (assuming all outstanding shares are voted). If only the minimum number of shares representing a quorum are voted, no additional shares would need to be voted in favor in order to approve the Adjournment Proposal.

 

The Sponsor and the DTCS independent directors have each agreed to vote all the Founder Shares and any Public Shares they may hold in favor of all the proposals being presented at the extraordinary general meeting. As of the record date, the Sponsor and the DTCS independent directors owned in aggregate approximately [*]% of the issued and outstanding DTCS Ordinary Shares. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Questions and Answers for Shareholders of DTCS - How does the Sponsor intend to vote their DTCS Ordinary Shares?”.

 

25

 

 

The Business Combination was not structured to require the approval of at least a majority of DTCS’s unaffiliated shareholders because such a vote is not required under Cayman Islands law.

 

Q. What are the recommendations of the DTCS Board?
   
A. The DTCS Board believes that the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting are in the best interest of DTCS’s shareholders and unanimously recommends that its shareholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Redomestication Merger Proposal, “FOR” the approval of each of the Stock Issuance Proposals, “FOR” the approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal, “FOR” the approval, on an advisory basis, of each of the separate Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, “FOR” the approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Director Election Proposal and “FOR” the approval of the Adjournment Proposal, if presented to the extraordinary general meeting.

 

The DTCS Board, after careful consideration, determined that the Business Combination is in the best interests of DTCS and its shareholders, and approved, among other things, the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination and the other agreements and transactions contemplated thereby. See the subsection entitled “Extraordinary General Meeting of DTCS - Recommendation of the DTCS Board” for more information.

 

The DTCS Board believes that the approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Redomestication Merger Proposal, each of the Stock Issuance Proposals, the Organizational Documents Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposal, each of the separate Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the approval of the Director Election Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal (if put to a vote) is in the best interests of DTCS and its shareholders and recommends that DTCS Shareholders vote “FOR” each proposal being submitted to a vote of the DTCS Shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting.

 

For a description of the DTCS Board’s reasons for the approval of the Business Combination and the unanimous recommendation of the DTCS Board, see the subsection entitled “The Business Combination Proposal - The DTCS Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination”.

 

When you consider the recommendation of the DTCS Board in favor of approval of these proposals, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor and DTCS’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of unaffiliated DTCS shareholders. Please see the subsection entitled “The Business Combination Proposal - Interests of Certain DTCS Persons in the Business Combination”.

 

Q. How does the Sponsor intend to vote their DTCS Ordinary Shares?
   
A. The Sponsor has agreed to vote all the Founder Shares and any Public Shares it may hold in favor of all the proposals being presented at the extraordinary general meeting. As of the record date, the Sponsor owned [    ] Founder Shares, representing approximately [52.88]% of the issued and outstanding DTCS Ordinary Shares. As a result, DTCS would not need the Public Shares not held by affiliates, to be voted in favor of the Business Combination in order to approve the Business Combination Proposal (assuming all outstanding shares are voted). If only the minimum number of shares representing a quorum are voted, no additional shares would need to be voted in favor of the Business Combination in order to approve the Business Combination Proposal. The Business Combination was not structured to require the approval of at least a majority of DTCS’s unaffiliated shareholders because such a vote is not required under Cayman Islands law. Except for the compensation received by the Sponsor and its affiliates as detailed in “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus — Certain Interests of DTCS’s Directors and Officers and Others in the Business Combination”, there is no additional consideration to be received by the Sponsor who plans to vote in favor of each of the proposal. However, the DTCS Public Shareholders should consider that the Sponsor may have interests that are different from, or in addition to, those of other DTCS Public Shareholders, and may be incentivized to complete the Business Combination even if it is with a less favorable target company or on less favorable terms, rather than liquidation. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain DTCS Persons in the Business Combination” of this proxy statement/prospectus for a detailed discussion of the special interests that the Sponsor may have in the Business Combination.

Q. Do the Sponsor and DTCS’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that differ from or are in addition to the interests of DTCS’s shareholders generally?
   
A. Yes. The Sponsor and DTCS’s officers and directors have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of DTCS’s shareholders generally. The DTCS Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in approving the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination, and in determining to recommend that DTCS’s shareholders vote in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Information about DTCS - Conflicts of Interest” and “The Business Combination Proposal - Interests of Certain DTCS Persons in the Business Combination” for more information.
   
Q. Who is the Sponsor?
   
A. DT Cloud Star Management Limited, a Cayman Islands limited liability company, which we refer to in this proxy statement/prospectus as the “Sponsor”, was formed prior to the IPO for the purpose of acting as the sponsor of DTCS. Other than its investment in DTCS and its work on behalf of DTCS, the Sponsor is not engaged in any business. The Sponsor made an initial investment of $25,000 on February 17, 2021, to cover certain pre-IPO expenses, in exchange for the issuance of 1,725,000 Founder Shares, or approximately $0.014 per share, which included an aggregate of up to 750,000 Founder Shares subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full.
   
  For information about conflicts of interest with respect to the Sponsor, see “The Business Combination Proposal - Interests of Certain DTCS Persons in the Business Combination”. For information about the compensation of the Sponsor and our officers and directors, see “Information About DTCS - Executive and Director Compensation”. For information about the securities owned by the Sponsor, including transfer restrictions and required forfeitures, see “Beneficial Ownership of Securities” and “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions”.
   
Q. What happens if I sell my DTCS Ordinary Shares before the extraordinary general meeting?
   
A. The record date for the extraordinary general meeting is earlier than the date of the extraordinary general meeting and earlier than the date that the Business Combination is expected to be completed. If you transfer your Public Shares after the record date, but before the extraordinary general meeting, unless you grant a proxy to the transferee, you will retain your right to vote at the extraordinary general meeting but the transferee, and not you, will have the ability to redeem such shares, so long as such transferee takes the required steps to elect to redeem such shares at least two (2) Business Days prior to the scheduled date of the extraordinary general meeting.
   
Q. How can I vote my shares without attending the extraordinary general meeting?
   
A. If you are a shareholder of record of our DTCS Ordinary Shares as of the close of business on the record date, you can vote by proxy by mail by following the instructions provided in the enclosed proxy card or at the extraordinary general meeting. Please note that if you are a beneficial owner of DTCS Ordinary Shares, you may vote by submitting voting instructions to your broker, bank or nominee, or otherwise by following instructions provided by your broker, bank or nominee. Telephone and internet voting will be available to beneficial owners. Please refer to the vote instruction form provided by your broker, bank or nominee.
   
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 DTCS’s Chief Executive Officer at DTCS’s address set forth below so that it is received by DTCS’s Chief Executive Officer prior to the vote at the extraordinary general meeting (which is scheduled to take place on [    ], 2026) or attend the extraordinary general meeting in person and vote. Shareholders also may revoke their proxy by sending a notice of revocation to DTCS’s Chief Executive Officer, which must be received by DTCS’s Chief Executive Officer prior to the vote at the extraordinary general 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.

 

27

 

 

Q. What happens if I fail to take any action with respect to the extraordinary general meeting?
   
A. If you fail to take any action with respect to the extraordinary general meeting and the Business Combination is approved by shareholders and the Business Combination is consummated, you will become a stockholder of Pubco. If you fail to take any action with respect to the extraordinary general meeting and the Business Combination is not approved, you will remain a shareholder of DTCS. However, if you fail to vote with respect to the extraordinary general meeting, you will nonetheless be able to elect to redeem your Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination, so long as you take the required steps to elect to redeem your shares at least two (2) Business Days prior to the initially scheduled date of the extraordinary general meeting pursuant to the procedures described in this proxy statement/prospectus.
   
Q. What happens if I vote against the Business Combination Proposal?
   
A. If you vote against the Business Combination Proposal but the Business Combination Proposal still obtains the requisite shareholder approval described in this proxy statement/prospectus, then the Business Combination Proposal will be approved and, assuming the approval of the other Condition Precedent Proposals and the satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions to the closing of the Business Combination, the Business Combination will be consummated in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement.

 

If you vote against the Business Combination Proposal and the Business Combination Proposal does not obtain the requisite vote at the extraordinary general meeting, then the Business Combination Proposal will fail, and we will not consummate the Business Combination. If we do not consummate the Business Combination Proposal, we may continue to try to complete a business combination with a different target business until October 26, 2026 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called general meeting, such later date). If we fail to complete an initial business combination by October 26, 2026 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called general meeting, such later date), then we will be required to dissolve and liquidate the Trust Account by returning then-remaining funds in the Trust Account to the Public Shareholders.

 

Q. What should I do with my share certificates or unit certificates?
   
A. Public Shareholders must complete the procedures for electing to redeem their Public Shares, including the delivery of their Public Shares, in the manner described above prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [    ], 2026 (two (2) Business Days before the initial scheduled date of the extraordinary general meeting) in order for their Public Shares to be redeemed.

 

Public Shareholders who do not elect to have their Public Shares redeemed for the pro rata share of the Trust Account should not submit the certificates relating to their Public Shares.

 

Upon the Redomestication Merger, holders of DTCS Units, DTCS Ordinary Shares and DTCS Rights without needing to take any action and, accordingly, such holders should not submit any certificates relating to their DTCS Units, DTCS Ordinary Shares and DTCS Rights (unless such holder elects to redeem the Public Shares in accordance with the procedures set forth above).

 

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

 

28

 

 

Q. Who will solicit and pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the extraordinary general meeting?
   
A. DTCS will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the extraordinary general meeting. DTCS has engaged [    ] to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the extraordinary general meeting. DTCS has agreed to pay [    ] a fee of $[    ], plus disbursements. DTCS will also reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of DTCS Ordinary Shares for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners of DTCS Ordinary Shares and in obtaining voting instructions from those owners. DTCS’s directors and officers may also solicit proxies by telephone, by facsimile, by mail, on the Internet or in person. They will not be paid any additional amounts for soliciting proxies.
   
Q. Where can I find the voting results of the extraordinary general meeting?
   
A. The preliminary voting results are expected to be announced at the extraordinary general meeting. DTCS will publish final voting results of the extraordinary general meeting in a Current Report on Form 8-K within four (4) Business Days after the extraordinary general meeting.

Each DTCS Unit was sold at a price of $10.00 per DTCS Unit, generating gross proceeds of $69,000,000. Each DTCS Unit consists of one DTCS Ordinary Share and one DTCS Right, with each DTCS Right entitling the holder thereof to receive one-ninth (1/9) of one DTCS Ordinary Share upon the consummation of an initial business combination.

The Proposals to be Submitted at the Extraordinary General Meeting

 

The Business Combination Proposal

 

As discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus, DTCS is asking its shareholders to approve by ordinary resolution and adopt the Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A, and the transactions contemplated thereby. The Business Combination Agreement provides for, among other things, following the Redemption and the Redomestication Merger of DTCS to Delaware, as described below, Merger Sub merging with and into PGUS, with PGUS surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of DTCS, resulting in a combined company whereby Pubco will become the sole stockholder of PGUS, and substantially all of the assets and the business of the combined company will be held by PGUS, as more fully described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. After consideration of the factors identified and discussed in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Business Combination Proposal - The DTCS Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination”, the DTCS Board concluded that the Business Combination met the majority of the evaluation criteria for an initial business combination disclosed in the prospectus for the IPO.

 

Organizational Structure

 

In connection with the completion of the Business Combination, DTCS will provide its Public Shareholders the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement and DTCS’s governing documents. DTCS will complete the Redemption of properly tendered Public Shares at least [one (1)] day prior to the Redomestication Merger.

 

Prior to and as a condition of the Closing, pursuant to the Redomestication Merger, DTCS will change its jurisdiction of incorporation by migrating to and domesticating as a Delaware corporation in accordance with Section 388 of the DGCL, as amended, and the Companies Act. For more information, see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Redomestication Merger Proposal”.

 

The following diagrams illustrate in simplified terms the current structure of DTCS and PGUS and the expected structure of Pubco immediately following the Closing.

Business Combination Agreement Consideration

 

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, as consideration, DTCS shall issue and deliver to PGUS Stockholders an aggregate number of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock with an aggregate value equal to (a) One Billion Four Hundred Eighty Nine Million Eight Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars ($1,489,800,000) less (b)(i) the aggregate number of shares of PGUS Class A Common Stock, on an as-exercised basis, under the PGUS Warrants multiplied by (ii) the Redemption Price less the applicable exercise price of such PGUS Warrant and less (c)(i) the aggregate number of shares of PGUS Class A Common Stock, on an as-exercised basis, under the PGUS Options multiplied by (ii) the Redemption Price less the applicable exercise price of such PGUS Option (the “Purchase Price”), with each share of Pubco Class A Common Stock valued at the Redemption Price, and with each PGUS Stockholder receiving its Pro Rata Share of the “Merger Consideration” which such number of shares shall be determined by dividing the Purchase Price by the Redemption Price, and further adjusted pursuant to Section 3.2(b) of the Business Combination Agreement. Based on a Redemption Price of $11.05, and after giving effect to the adjustments in clauses (b) and (c) above, an aggregate of 105,649,826 shares of Pubco Common Stock will be paid to the PGUS stockholders as Merger Consideration at the Closing, comprised of 19,665,223 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock and 85,984,603 shares of Pubco Class B Common Stock. The final number of shares of Pubco Common Stock to be issued as Merger Consideration will be confirmed once the final Redemption Price has been determined.

 

Closing Conditions

 

The consummation of the Business Combination Agreement is conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver by the applicable parties to the Business Combination Agreement of the conditions set forth below. Therefore, unless these conditions are waived (to the extent they can be waived) by the applicable parties to the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination may not be consummated. There can be no assurance that the parties to the Business Combination Agreement would waive any such provisions of the Business Combination Agreement.

 

For further details, see “The Business Combination Proposal - Business Combination Agreement - Closing Conditions”.

 

Related Agreements

 

This section describes certain additional agreements entered into or to be entered into pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. For additional information, see “The Business Combination Proposal - Related Agreements”.

 

PIPE Subscription Agreements

 

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, no PIPE Financings have been consummated.

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

At the Closing, Pubco and the Sponsor will enter into the Registration Rights Agreement, providing for registration rights substantially similar to the registration rights granted to Sponsor in connection with the DTCS’s IPO, with the PGUS Stockholders identified in the Business Combination Agreement in the event that their Pro Rata Share of the Merger Consideration is not registered pursuant to the Registration Statement. The Registration Rights Agreement will also cover all of the shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock that are issuable to the Sponsor upon exercise of the Non-Redemption Warrants issued to the Sponsor. The number of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock covered by the Registration Rights Agreement will be at least [*], which amount is comprised of (i) [*] shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock (including shares converted from Pubco Class B Common Stock) held by certain principals and other stockholders of PGUS and (ii) 1,931,900 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock held by the Sponsor. In addition, depending on the number of Non-Redemption Warrants that will be issued to the Sponsor, an additional number of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock that are issuable to the Sponsor upon exercise of the Non-Redemption Warrants issued to the Sponsor will be covered by the Registration Rights Agreement (this number will be determined at the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting and will be a maximum of 1,931,900, which assumes 100% redemptions). All shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock that will be covered by the Registration Rights Agreement also will be subject to the Lock-up Agreements.

 

32

 

 

Company Support Agreement

 

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, each PGUS Stockholder who (i) is a director or Key Management Member (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) or (ii) owns ten percent (10%) or more of the issued and outstanding shares of PGUS (each a “Significant Company Holder”) execute and deliver to DTCS a Company Support Agreement, pursuant to which each such Significant Company Holder agrees to, among other things, support and vote in favor of the Business Combination Agreement, and the transactions contemplated therein (including the Mergers). As of September 4, 2026, the PGUS Stockholders who are party to the Company Support Agreement collectively held approximately 92.58% of the outstanding capital stock of PGUS (consisting of PGUS Class A Common Stock and PGUS Class B Common Stock) and represented approximately 99.11% of the total voting power of PGUS. Following the effectiveness of this registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part, such stockholders are expected to execute a written consent approving the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

 

Insider Support Agreement

 

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor and any director of DTCS who holds DTCS Ordinary Shares enter into the Insider Support Agreement pursuant to which each Insider has agreed (i) not to transfer or redeem any DTCS Ordinary Shares held by it in accordance with the Insider Letter Agreements and (ii) to vote in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and the Mergers at the DTCS Extraordinary General Meeting in accordance with the Insider Letter Agreements.

 

Lock-Up Agreement

 

At the Closing, the Sponsor, PGUS Stockholders, and each director and officer of PGUS who holds Company Common Stock, shall deliver duly executed lock-up agreements (the “Lock-up Agreements”).

 

The form of Lock-up Agreement provides that, beginning at the Closing, the holder may not sell, transfer, pledge, hedge, short sell, or otherwise dispose of any of its Pubco Common Stock, nor enter into any arrangement that transfers the economic risk or benefit of owning such Pubco Common Stock, nor publicly announce any intention to do so. To enforce these restrictions, Pubco may place a stop order on the restricted shares and instruct its transfer agent not to process any attempted transfers during the restricted period.

 

The restricted period begins at the Closing and ends on the earlier of (i) 180 days after the Closing Date, or (ii) the date after Closing on which Pubco completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, or similar transaction that allows all shareholders to exchange their shares for cash, securities, or other property.

 

The shares will be released from these restrictions earlier if any of the following occur (a) Pubco’s stock trades at or above $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits and similar changes) for at least 20 trading days within any 30-trading-day period beginning no earlier than 90 days after the Closing Date; (b) Pubco undergoes a change in control, including a sale of substantially all assets, a transaction resulting in a new party acquiring majority voting power, or a merger or similar transaction after which the pre-transaction shareholders can no longer elect a majority of the board; or (c) Pubco completes, after Closing, a liquidation, merger, share exchange, or similar transaction that allows all shareholders to exchange their shares for cash, securities, or other property.

 

The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated by either party if the Business Combination is not consummated on or before October 26, 2026 (the “Outside Date”); provided, that DTCS and PGUS may mutually agree to extend the Outside Date by an additional three months to January 26, 2027 if, prior to the Outside Date, DTCS shall have obtained the necessary shareholder approval to consummate the Business Combination after the Outside Date.

 

If the Business Combination or another business combination is not consummated by October 26, 2026, DTCS will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of outstanding Public Shares for cash and, subject to the approval of DTCS’s remaining shareholders and DTCS’s Board, liquidating and dissolving. However, the Company may extend its deadline to consummate a business combination beyond October 26, 2026 at a duly called meeting of the DTCS shareholders, and DTCS and PGUS may mutually agree to extend the Outside Date by an additional three months to January 26, 2027. The DTCS Memorandum and Articles do not contain any limitations on the number or duration of any such extensions. All DTCS shareholders will vote on whether to approve any such extension, and holders of Public Shares will have redemption rights with respect to any an extension.

 

The Redomestication Merger Proposal

 

As a condition to closing of the Business Combination pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, DTCS must complete the Redomestication Merger. The Redomestication Merger Proposal, if approved by the holders of DTCS Ordinary Shares, will authorize a change of DTCS’s jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware. Accordingly, while DTCS is currently governed by the Companies Act, upon the Redomestication Merger, Pubco will be governed by the DGCL. There are differences between Cayman Islands corporate law and Delaware corporate law as well as between the Cayman Constitutional Documents and the Proposed Organizational Documents. Accordingly, DTCS encourages shareholders to carefully review the information in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Redomestication Merger Proposal - Comparison of Shareholder Rights under Applicable Corporate Law Before and After Redomestication Merger”.

 

The DTCS Board has unanimously approved the Redomestication Merger Proposal. For additional information, see the section entitled “The Redomestication Merger Proposal” of this proxy statement/prospectus.

 

The Acquisition Merger Proposal

 

Following the Redomestication Merger, Merger Sub will merge with and into PGUS (the “Acquisition Merger”), with PGUS surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco, resulting in a combined company whereby Pubco will be the sole stockholder of PGUS, and substantially all of the assets and the business of the combined company will be held and operated by PGUS.

 

The DTCS Board has unanimously approved the Acquisition Merger Proposal. For additional information, see the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal” of this proxy statement/prospectus.

 

The Stock Issuance Proposals

 

DTCS will ask its shareholders to approve, by ordinary resolution, the Stock Issuance Proposals for purposes of complying with Nasdaq Listing Rules, including 5635(a), (b) and (d).

 

33

 

 

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a), shareholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities in connection with the acquisition of another company if such securities are not issued in a public offering for cash and (A) have, or will have upon issuance, voting power equal to or in excess of 20% of the voting power outstanding before the issuance of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock); or (B) the number of shares of common stock to be issued is or will be equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance of the stock or securities.

 

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b), shareholder approval is required when any issuance or potential issuance will result in a “change of control” of the issuer.

 

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), shareholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities in certain circumstances, including if the number of securities to be issued is, or will be upon issuance, equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance.

 

The aggregate number of shares of Pubco that Pubco will issue in connection with the Business Combination will exceed 20% of both the voting power and the shares of Pubco outstanding before such issuance and may result in a change of control of the registrant. Approval of each of the Stock Issuance Proposals is a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination.

 

For additional information, see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Stock Issuance Proposals”.

 

The Organizational Documents Proposal

 

DTCS will ask its shareholders to approve, by special resolution, the Organizational Documents Proposal in connection with the replacement of the Cayman Constitutional Documents, under the Companies Act, with the Proposed Organizational Documents, under the DGCL. The DTCS Board has unanimously approved the Organizational Documents Proposal. Approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal is a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination.

 

For additional information, see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Organizational Documents Proposal”.

 

The Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals

 

DTCS will ask its shareholders to approve by ordinary resolution on a non-binding advisory basis three (3) separate Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals in connection with the replacement of the Cayman Constitutional Documents, under the Companies Act, with the Proposed Organizational Documents, under the DGCL. The DTCS Board has unanimously approved the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals. Approval of the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals is not a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination.

 

A brief summary of each of the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals is set forth below. These summaries are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the Proposed Organizational Documents.

 

Proposal No. 5 - The Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals - To consider and vote upon the following three (3) separate proposals (collectively, the “Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals”) to approve on an advisory non-binding basis by ordinary resolution the following material differences between the Cayman Constitutional Documents and the Proposed Organizational Documents:

 

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 5A - Under the Proposed Organizational Documents, Pubco would be authorized to issue (A) [  ] shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock, (B) [  ] shares of Pubco Class B Common Stock and (C) [ ] shares of Pubco Preferred Stock.

 

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 5B - The Proposed Organizational Documents would adopt (a) Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation and (b) the federal district courts of the United States of America as the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

 

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 5C - The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation would require the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the total voting power of all then-outstanding shares of Pubco to amend, alter, repeal or rescind certain provisions of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation.

 

34

 

 

The Incentive Plan Proposal

 

DTCS is proposing that its shareholders approve by ordinary resolution the New Equity Incentive Plan, which will become effective upon the Closing and will be used by Pubco on a going-forward basis following the Closing.

The Director Election Proposal

 

DTCS is proposing that its shareholders approve by ordinary resolution, effective upon the Closing of the Business Combination, the election of seven (7) directors to serve until the date of the first annual stockholder meeting to be held following the date of Closing, or and until any such director’s successor is duly elected and qualified, subject to such director’s earlier death, disqualification, resignation or removal.

The Adjournment Proposal

 

If, based on the tabulated vote, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the extraordinary general meeting to authorize DTCS to consummate the Business Combination (because any of the Condition Precedent Proposals have not been approved (including as a result of the failure of any other cross-conditioned Condition Precedent Proposals to be approved), the DTCS Board may submit a proposal to the shareholders to approve by way of an ordinary resolution the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or convenient, (i) to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with the approval of one or more proposals at the extraordinary general meeting, (ii) if DTCS determines that one or more of the conditions to Closing is not or will not be satisfied or waived or (iii) to facilitate the Redomestication Merger or any other Transaction.

At the close of business on the record date, there were 3,419,314 DTCS Ordinary Shares outstanding with 1,931,900 DTCS Ordinary Shares held by the Sponsor.

 

Quorum and Vote of DTCS Shareholders

 

A quorum of DTCS shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the extraordinary general meeting if the holders of a simple majority of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting are represented in person or by proxy (which would include presence at the extraordinary general meeting). Abstentions, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as a vote cast at the extraordinary general meeting and otherwise will have no effect on a particular proposal. Broker non-votes are not considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on a particular proposal under Cayman Islands law, assuming a valid quorum is established.

 

As of the record date for the extraordinary general meeting, [*] DTCS Ordinary Shares would be required to achieve a quorum.

 

The Sponsor has agreed to vote all the Founder Shares and any Public Shares it may hold in favor of all the proposals being presented at the extraordinary general meeting. As of the record date, the Sponsor owned approximately [52.88]% of the issued and outstanding DTCS Ordinary Shares.

 

The proposals presented at the extraordinary general meeting require the following votes:

 

●Business Combination Proposal - The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a simple majority of the DTCS Ordinary Shares, who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. DTCS would not need the Public Shares not held by affiliates, to be voted in favor of the Business Combination in order to approve the Business Combination Proposal (assuming all outstanding shares are voted). The Business Combination was not structured to require the approval of at least a majority of DTCS’s unaffiliated shareholders because such a vote is not required under Cayman Islands law.

 

36

 

 

●Redomestication Proposal - The approval of the Redomestication Merger Proposal and the completion of the Redomestication Merger is a condition to closing the Business Combination under the Business Combination Agreement. The approval of the Redomestication Merger Proposal requires a special resolution, being the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the DTCS Ordinary Shares, who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting. Broker non-votes are not considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on a particular proposal under Cayman Islands law, assuming a valid quorum is established. In connection with DTCS’s IPO, DTCS entered into agreements with its officers and directors, and the Sponsor, pursuant to which each agreed to vote their DTCS Ordinary Shares in favor of Proposal 1 (The Business Combination Proposal). Such officers and directors and the Sponsor have agreed to vote their DTCS Ordinary Shares, as well as any DTCS Ordinary Shares they may purchase prior to the Extraordinary Meeting, in favor of the proposals. As a result, DTCS would not require any additional votes in favor of such proposals in order to have the Redomestication Merger Proposal approved.

 

●Stock Issuance Proposals - The approval of each of the Stock Issuance Proposals requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a simple majority of the DTCS Ordinary Shares, who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. DTCS would not need the Public Shares not held by affiliates, to be voted in favor of the Stock Issuance Proposals in order to approve the Stock Issuance Proposals (assuming all outstanding shares are voted). If only the minimum number of shares representing a quorum are voted, no additional shares would need to be voted in favor of the Stock Issuance Proposals in order to approve the Stock Issuance Proposals.

 

●Organizational Documents Proposal - The approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal requires a special resolution, being the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the DTCS Ordinary Share, who being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. As of the record date, the Sponsor owned approximately [52.88]% of the issued and outstanding DTCS Ordinary Shares. If only the minimum number of shares representing a quorum are voted, DTCS would not need the Public Shares not held by affiliates, to be voted in favor in order to approve the Organizational Documents Proposal.

 

●Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals - The separate approval of each of the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, each of which is a non-binding vote, requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of holders of a simple majority of the DTCS Ordinary Share, who being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. If only the minimum number of shares representing a quorum are voted, DTCS would not need the Public Shares not held by affiliates, to be voted in favor in order to approve the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal.

 

●Incentive Plan Proposal - The approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a simple majority of the DTCS Ordinary Shares, who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. As of the record date, the Sponsor owned approximately [52.88]% of the issued and outstanding DTCS Ordinary Shares. As a result, DTCS would not need the Public Shares not held by affiliates, to be voted in favor in order to approve the Incentive Plan Proposal (assuming all outstanding shares are voted). If only the minimum number of shares representing a quorum are voted, no additional shares would need to be voted in favor in order to approve the Incentive Plan Proposal.

 

●Director Election Proposal - The approval of the Director Election Proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a simple majority of the DTCS Ordinary Shares, who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. As of the record date, the Sponsor owned approximately [52.88]% of the issued and outstanding DTCS Ordinary Shares. As a result, DTCS would not need the Public Shares not held by affiliates, to be voted in favor in order to approve the Director Election Proposal (assuming all outstanding shares are voted). If only the minimum number of shares representing a quorum are voted, no additional shares would need to be voted in favor in order to approve the Director Election Proposal.

 

37

 

 

●Adjournment Proposal - The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a simple majority of the DTCS Ordinary Shares, who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. As of the record date, the Sponsor owned approximately [52.88]% of the issued and outstanding DTCS Ordinary Shares. As a result, DTCS would not need the Public Shares not held by affiliates, to be voted in favor in order to approve the Adjournment Proposal (assuming all outstanding shares are voted). If only the minimum number of shares representing a quorum are voted, no additional shares would need to be voted in favor in order to approve the Adjournment Proposal.

 

Redemption Rights

 

Pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, a Public Shareholder may request to redeem all or a portion of its Public Shares for cash in connection with the completion of the Business Combination. As a Public Shareholder, you will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if you:

 

(a)(i) hold Public Shares or (ii) hold Public Shares through DTCS Units and elect to separate your DTCS Units into the underlying Public Shares prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares;

 

(b)submit a written request to VStock, including the legal name, phone number and address of the beneficial owner of the Public Shares for which redemption is requested, that DTCS redeem all or a portion of your Public Shares for cash; and

 

(c)deliver your share certificates for Public Shares (if any) along with the redemption forms to VStock, physically or electronically through DTC.

 

Public Shareholders must complete the procedures for electing to redeem their Public Shares in the manner described above prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [  ], 2026 (two (2) Business Days before the initial scheduled date of the extraordinary general meeting) in order for their Public Shares to be redeemed.

 

Public Shareholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of the Public Shares held by them regardless of if or how they vote in respect of the Business Combination Proposal. If the Business Combination is abandoned, the Public Shares will be returned to the respective holder, broker or bank. If the Redemption is consummated, and if a Public Shareholder properly exercises its right to redeem all or a portion of the Public Shares that it holds and timely delivers the certificates for its shares (if any) along with the redemption forms to VStock, DTCS will redeem such Public Shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the pro rata portion of the Trust Account, calculated as of two (2) Business Days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. For illustrative purposes, as of the record date, this would have amounted to approximately $[  ] per issued and outstanding Public Share. If a Public Shareholder exercises its redemption rights in full, then it will be electing to exchange its Public Shares for cash and will no longer own Public Shares. See the section of the proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Extraordinary General Meeting of DTCS - Redemption Rights” for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your Public Shares for cash.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Public Shareholder, 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(d)(3) 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.

 

The Sponsor has agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of all proposals being presented at the extraordinary general meeting, regardless of how the Public Shareholders vote. As of the record date, the Sponsor owned approximately [52.88]% of the issued and outstanding DTCS Ordinary Shares.

 

38

 

 

Appraisal Rights

 

No DTCS’s shareholder has appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination or the Redomestication Merger under Cayman Islands law or under the DGCL.

 

Proxy Solicitation

 

Proxies may be solicited by mail, telephone or in person. DTCS has engaged [  ] to assist in the solicitation of proxies.

 

If a shareholder grants a proxy, it may still vote its shares in person if it revokes its proxy before the extraordinary general meeting. A shareholder also may change its vote by submitting a later-dated proxy as described in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Extraordinary General Meeting of DTCS - Revoking Your Proxy”.

 

Certain Interests of DTCS’s Directors and Officers and Others in the Business Combination

 

When you consider the recommendation of the DTCS Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the other Shareholder Proposals included herein, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor and DTCS’s directors and officers have interests in such proposals that are different from, in addition to and/or in conflict with, those of the DTCS shareholders generally. Further, DTCS’s officers and directors have additional fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present a business combination opportunity to such entity, which are set forth in more detail in the section titled “Information about DTCS - Conflicts of Interest”. We believe there were no such opportunities that were not presented to DTCS for a potential business combination as a result of the existing fiduciary or contractual obligations of our officers and directors to other entities. The DTCS Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Business Combination and Business Combination Agreement and in recommending to our shareholders that they vote in favor of the Shareholder Proposals presented at the extraordinary general meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal. DTCS shareholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Shareholder Proposals presented at the extraordinary general meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal. These interests include, among other things:

 

●Our Sponsor will lose its entire investment in us if we do not complete a business combination by October 26, 2026 (or if such date is extended at a duly called meeting of the DTCS shareholders, such later date). If we do not consummate a business combination by such date, as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten (10) Business Days thereafter, we are required to redeem the Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, subject to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, the 1,725,000 Founder Shares purchased by our Sponsor for approximately $25,000, including 200,000 Founder Shares to be transferred to one unaffiliated third-party DTCS shareholder, pursuant to a non-redemption agreement dated October 21, 2025, would be worthless because following the redemption of the Public Shares, we would likely have few, if any, net assets and because the Sponsor and the independent directors of DTCS have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if we fail to complete a business combination within the required period.

 

●DTCS’s Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed not to redeem any of the Founder Shares or DTCS Ordinary Shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve the Business Combination.

 

●Our existing officers and directors will be eligible for continued indemnification and continued coverage under a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy for a period of six years after the Business Combination.

 

●In connection with the Closing, our Sponsor, officers and directors would be entitled to the repayment of any outstanding working capital loan and advances that have been made to DTCS. On October 23, 2025, we issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $75,000, in exchange for Sponsor depositing such amount into the Trust Account in order to extend the amount of time it has available to complete a Business Combination. The promissory note may, at the option of the Sponsor, convert into Private Units at $10 per unit at closing.

 

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, we had a temporary payable of $1,301,143.59 to the Sponsor, of which $75,000 may, at the option of the Sponsor, be converted into Private Units at $10 per unit at Closing, and the remaining $1,226,143.59 will be repaid in cash to the Sponsor by Pubco at or after the Closing. All such amounts would be repayable to the Sponsor if the Business Combination is not consummated.

 

In addition, if we do not complete a business combination by October 26, 2026 (or if such date is extended at a duly called meeting of the DTCS shareholders, such later date), the Sponsor also would lose its rights to receive (a) Non-Redemption Warrants, (b) convertible promissory notes issued to the Sponsor on and after October 23, 2025 for the payment of Extension Expenses, (c) repayments of additional amounts loaned to DTCS after October 23, 2025 for monthly Trust Account deposits, (d) the Sponsor Closing Payment, (e) the Sponsor Closing Note and (f) the possible reimbursement from PGUS of unreimbursed administrative services fees.

 

39

 

 

●Because DTCS has certain provisions in its organizational documents that waive the corporate opportunities doctrine on an ongoing basis, DTCS’s officers and directors have not been obligated and continue to not be obligated to bring all corporate opportunities to DTCS. The potential conflict of interest relating to the waiver of the corporate opportunities doctrine in DTCS’s organizational documents did not, to our knowledge, impact our search for an acquisition target or prevent us from reviewing any opportunities as a result of such waiver.

 

●Upon the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, our Sponsor, our officers and directors and their respective affiliates may be entitled to reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and consummating an initial business combination, and repayment of any other loans, if any, and on such terms as to be determined by DTCS from time to time, made by our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, an aggregate of approximately $[  ] of reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses were outstanding.

 

  ●

At the Redomestication Merger Effective Time, Pubco shall issue Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants to Eligible Warrant Recipients. No Public Shareholder that has delivered to DTCS a notice of intention to exercise its right of Redemption prior to the DTCS extraordinary general meeting shall have the right to receive Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants. The Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants shall (a) have an exercise price of $2.00 per share of Pubco Class A Common Stock, and (b) shall be exercisable starting on the six month anniversary of the Closing date and for a period of eighteen months thereafter. Upon the effectiveness of Redomestication Merger, each Eligible Warrant Recipient shall receive a number of Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants determined by the following formula:

 

# of Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants = (Number of Eligible Parent Ordinary Shares Owned by Eligible Warrant Recipient/Total Number of Eligible Parent Ordinary Shares) X (1,931,900). The Sponsor will receive the Pubco Non-Redemption warrants.

 

●Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Sponsor will have customary registration rights, including demand and piggy-back rights, subject to cooperation and cut-back provisions with respect to the Pubco Class A Common Stock underlying its pro rata share of the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants.

 

As a result of the foregoing interests, the Sponsor and DTCS’s directors and officers will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms that would be less favorable to Public Shareholders. In the aggregate, the Sponsor has approximately $[______] at risk that depends upon the completion of a business combination. Such amount consists of (i) approximately $[______] representing the value of the Founder Shares held by the Sponsor (based upon the closing price of $[_____] per DTCS Class A Ordinary Share on Nasdaq on [  ], 2026, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus); (ii) approximately $$75,000 representing the value of an unsecured promissory note issued to the Sponsor, on October 23, 2025; and (iii) a temporary payable of [$1,301,143.59] to the Sponsor, which will be repaid in cash by Pubco at or after the Closing. The DTCS’s directors and officers have no additional value at risk other than disclosures related to the Sponsor.

 

The financial and personal interests of the Sponsor may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting PGUS as a business combination target, completing an initial business combination with PGUS and influencing the operation of the business following the initial business combination. In considering the recommendations of the DTCS Board to vote for the Shareholder Proposals, its shareholders should consider these interests.

 

Interests of the PGUS Directors and Executive Officers

 

In considering whether to approve the Business Combination, you should also take into account that PGUS’s executive officers and directors may have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of other PGUS Stockholders generally as well as DTCS shareholders generally.

 

These interests include, among other things:

 

●To the extent that the PGUS directors and executive officers are also PGUS Stockholders prior to the Closing, they will also have rights to receive Pubco securities in the same manner as other PGUS Stockholders, in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement.
   
  ● If the Business Combination with DTCS is completed, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, PGUS will designate six of the seven members to the Board of Directors of the Pubco, including Daniel Chiu, [ ], [ ], [ ], [ ] and [ ]. In addition, Daniel Chiu, the Co-Chief Executive Officer of PGUS is expected to be appointed as the chief executive officer of Pubco following the consummation of the Business Combination.
     
  ● PGUS’s current directors and officers are parties to indemnification agreements with PGUS that provide continuing indemnification rights and require successors to assume those obligations.
     
  ● Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, certain of the stockholders of PGUS holding Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) will be entitled to customary registration rights, including shelf, demand and piggy-back rights, subject to cooperation and cut-back provisions, with respect to such Registrable Securities following the consummation of the Business Combination.
     
  ● Following the consummation of this Business Combination, Pubco expects to adopt a non-employee director compensation program pursuant to which non-employee directors of Pubco may receive cash retainers and equity-based awards. Certain current directors of PGUS are expected to serve on the Pubco Board following the Closing and may become eligible to receive compensation under such program. The terms of the program have not yet been finalized.
     
  ● Following the consummation of this Business Combination, certain current executive officers and directors of PGUS are expected to serve as executive officers and/or directors of Pubco and are expected to receive compensation in those capacities. Pubco intends to enter into employment agreements with Mr. Daniel Chiu following the consummation of this Business Combination, although the terms of such agreements have not yet been finalized. As a result, these individuals may have interests in the Business Combination that differ from, or are in addition to, the interests of PGUS Stockholders generally.
     
  ● On June 12, 2026, PGUS entered into a promissory note with Dora E. Chan, as Trustee of the Dora E. Chan Trust, pursuant to which the trust loaned PGUS $400,000. The promissory note matures on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2026 and (ii) the closing of the Business Combination. Dora E. Chan serves as PGUS’s Chief Financial Officer and a member of its board of directors. As a result, upon consummation of the Business Combination, the outstanding principal amount of, and any accrued interest under, the promissory note may become due and payable to the Dora E. Chan Trust.
     
  ● On November 5, 2025, PGUS issued a promissory note in the amount of $300,000 to Rita YuKa Wong, the spouse of our Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, Daniel Chiu, which matured on March 31, 2026. The parties agreed to amend and restate the promissory note with an extended maturity to September 30, 2026, or the consummation of the Business Combination, whichever is earlier. As a result, upon consummation of the Business Combination, the outstanding principal amount of, and any accrued interest under, the promissory note may become due and payable to Ms. Wong.
     
  ● Pursuant to the terms of certain PGUS Warrants held by Daniel Chiu and Wai Sun Szeto, the consummation of the Business Combination will accelerate the vesting of a portion of such warrants, resulting in the vesting of warrants to purchase 2,500,000 and 50,000 shares of PGUS Class A Common Stock, respectively. For more details, see “The Business Combination Proposal - Interests of the PGUS Directors and Executive Officers - Warrant Acceleration.”

Intellectual Property Licensed from PGB to PGUS

 

The intellectual property licensed to PGUS by PGB is subject to a security interest securing PGB’s indebtedness to Stem Med. PGB currently does not have sufficient available funds to repay such indebtedness when due. Although PGUS’s rights under the PGB Patent License are subject to certain protections under the Subordination and Non-Disturbance Agreement, enforcement of Stem Med’s security interest could result in disputes, uncertainty, additional costs or other adverse consequences relating to intellectual property important to PGUS’s business. See “Risk Factors - Risks Related to Our Business and Industry - The intellectual property licensed to us by PGB is subject to a security interest securing PGB’s indebtedness to Stem Med, and PGB currently does not have sufficient available funds to repay such indebtedness when due. Any future enforcement of Stem Med’s rights as a secured lender could adversely affect our business.” and “Information about PGUS - Intellectual Property - Risks Related to the Licensed Intellectual Property.”

 

Compensation Received by the Sponsor

 

Set forth below is a summary of the terms and amount of the compensation received or to be received by the Sponsor and its affiliates in connection with the Business Combination or any related financing transaction, the amount of securities issued or to be issued by SPAC to the Sponsor and its affiliates and the price paid or to be paid for such securities or any related financing transaction.

 

    Interest in Securities   Other Compensation
Sponsor  

In November 2022, March 2023 and January 2024, an aggregate of 1,725,000 insider shares, or the Founder Shares, were issued to the Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. As of the date hereof, 1,931,900 insider shares are beneficially owned by the Sponsor.

 

In July 2024, we issued to the Sponsor 206,900 Private Units for an aggregate purchase price of $ 2,069,000.

 

On October 23, 2025, we issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $75,000, in exchange for Sponsor depositing such amount into the Trust Account in order to extend the amount of time it has available to complete a Business Combination. The promissory note may, at the option of the Sponsor, convert into Private Units at $10 per unit at closing.

 

On each of November 28, 2025 and January 6, 2026, DTCS deposited $75,000 into the Trust Account for monthly extensions. On March 16, 2026, DTCS deposited an additional $150,000 into the Trust Account representing monthly extension payments through March 2026. A payment in the amount of $225,000 was deposited into the Trust Account on July 10, 2026[; and a payment in the amount of $75,000 was deposited into the Trust Account on July 14, 2026]. These amounts are to be repaid at or after the Closing by Pubco out of available cash. No promissory notes were issued in connection with any of such payments, and these amounts due are not convertible into Private Units or any other securities of DTCS or of Pubco.

 

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, we had a temporary payable of $1,301,143.59 to the Sponsor, which will be converted into Private Units at $10 per unit at closing.

  DTCS has agreed to reimburse the Sponsor for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and completing an initial business combination. [As of December 31, 2025, there were $[*] out-of-pocket unpaid reimbursable expenses for which the Initial Shareholders, including the Sponsor and its affiliates, are awaiting reimbursement].
         
    Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, among other things, each of the then issued and outstanding DTCS Ordinary Shares will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into one share of Pubco Class A Common Stock. In the event the share price of Pubco Class A Common Stock falls below the price paid by a shareholder of DTCS at the time of purchase of the DTCS Ordinary Shares by such shareholder, a situation may arise in which the Sponsor or a director of DTCS maintains a positive rate of return on its/ his/her DTCS Ordinary Shares while such shareholder of DTCS experiences a negative rate of return on the shares such shareholder of DTCS purchased. The securities currently owned by the Initial Shareholders will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination than at the time of purchase. For purpose of illustration, given that as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Initial Shareholders collectively hold 1,931,900 DTCS Ordinary Shares, including 1,725,000 insider shares and 206,900 shares included in the Private Units, based on an estimated market price of $[  ] per share of Pubco Class A Common Stock (i.e. being DTCS Ordinary Share’s closing price on [  ], 2026, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus) immediately after Closing, the aggregate value of Pubco Class A Common Stock owned by the Initial Shareholders would be $[  ] and the Initial Shareholders would have a potential aggregate profit of $[  ], representing a profit of $[  ] per share of Pubco Class A Common Stock, whereas other public shareholders of DTCS would only have a profit of $[  ] per share of Pubco Class A Common Stock;  

DTCS has agreed to pay the affiliate of the Sponsor $10,000 per month for certain general and administrative services, including office space, administrative and support services commencing on the closing date of the IPO until the earlier of the consummation by DTCS of an initial business combination or the liquidation of DTCS. [As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the unpaid services fee was $80,000 and $50,000.

For additional information, see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Business Combination Proposal - Interests of Certain DTCS Persons in the Business Combination” and “The Business Combination Proposal - Interests of the PGUS Directors and Executive Officers”.

 

Regulatory Matters

 

Neither DTCS nor PGUS are aware of any material regulatory approvals or actions that are required for completion of the Business Combination, other than the regulatory notices and approvals discussed in “The Business Combination Proposal - Business Combination Agreement - Closing Conditions - Conditions to the Obligations of Each Party”. It is presently contemplated that if any such additional regulatory approvals or actions are required, those approvals or actions will be sought. There can be no assurance, however, that any additional approvals or actions will be obtained.

 

Recommendation to Shareholders of DTCS

 

The DTCS Board believes that the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting are in the best interest of DTCS and DTCS’s shareholders and unanimously recommends that its shareholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Redomestication Merger Proposal, “FOR” the approval of each of the Stock Issuance Proposals, “FOR” the approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal, “FOR” the approval, on an advisory basis, of each of the separate Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, “FOR” the approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Director Election Proposal and “FOR” the approval of the Adjournment Proposal, if presented to the extraordinary general meeting. The DTCS Board considered the following material factors: (a) the substantial potential size of the PGUS total addressable market for its current product pipeline; (b) the quality of the PGUS key management personnel, including its R&D and FDA regulatory teams; and (c) PGUS’s regulatory readiness and FDA approval timeline.

 

41

 

 

The DTCS Board, after careful consideration, determined that the Business Combination is fair in the best interests of DTCS and its shareholders, and approved, among other things, the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination and the other agreements and transactions contemplated thereby. See the subsection entitled “Extraordinary General Meeting of DTCS - Recommendation of the DTCS Board” for more information.

 

Public Shareholder Redemptions and Retention of Public Rights

 

DTCS Public Shareholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination and retain their Public Rights. This structure may create a divergence of interests between redeeming and non-redeeming Public Shareholders. Redeeming Public Shareholders may receive cash from the Trust Account for their redeemed Public Shares while continuing to hold Public Rights that may become exercisable for, or convert into, shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock following the Business Combination. As a result, redeeming Public Shareholders may retain the opportunity to benefit from any increase in the value of Pubco Class A Common Stock through their Public Rights without continuing to hold the Public Shares that were redeemed.

 

The exercise of redemption rights will reduce the amount of cash available to Pubco following the Business Combination and may increase the relative ownership of the Sponsor and other continuing equityholders in Pubco. In addition, if Public Rights retained by redeeming Public Shareholders become exercisable for, or convert into, shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock after the Business Combination, the issuance of such shares would dilute the equity ownership of non-redeeming Public Shareholders. Therefore, non-redeeming Public Shareholders may bear a disproportionate portion of the dilutive impact of the Public Rights, including Public Rights retained by redeeming Public Shareholders, and could experience greater dilution than if redeeming Public Shareholders were required to forfeit their Public Rights upon redemption of their Public Shares.

 

Background and Material Terms of the Business Combination

 

DTCS is a special purpose acquisition company that was incorporated in November 29, 2022 as a Cayman Islands exempted company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Starting in July 2024, DTCS’s management and its advisors surveyed the landscape of potential acquisition opportunities for acquisition targets. From July 2024 to October 2025, DTCS reviewed approximately 25 acquisition opportunities across various industries and had active discussions with approximately 15 potential business targets. DTCS management ultimately decided not to pursue such alternate targets, and instead focus its efforts on PGUS. The terms of the Business Combination Agreement are the result of negotiations between the representatives of DTCS and PGUS, which occurred between April 2025 and February 2026.

 

On the Signing Date, DTCS entered into the Business Combination Agreement with PGUS, Merger Sub and Purchaser, pursuant to which, among other things, subject to shareholder approval, following the Redomestication Merger, Merger Sub will merge with and into PGUS, with PGUS surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (the “Merger”), resulting in a combined company whereby DTCS will become the sole stockholder of PGUS, and substantially all of the assets and the business of the combined company will be held by PGUS.

 

A majority of DTCS’s directors who are not employees retained an unaffiliated representative to act solely on behalf of unaffiliated security holders for purposes of negotiating the terms of the Business Combination and/or preparing a report concerning the approval of the Business Combination.

 

A majority of the directors who are not employees of PGUS did not retain an unaffiliated representative to act solely on behalf of unaffiliated security holders for purposes of negotiating the terms of the Business Combination or prepare a report concerning the approval of the Business Combination.

 

Business Combination Consideration to PGUS Stockholders

 

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, as consideration, DTCS shall issue and deliver to PGUS Stockholders an aggregate number of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock with an aggregate value equal to (a) One Billion Four Hundred Eighty Nine Million Eight Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars ($1,489,800,000) less (b)(i) the aggregate number of shares of PGUS Class A Common Stock, on an as-exercised basis, under the PGUS Warrants multiplied by (ii) the Redemption Price less the applicable exercise price of such PGUS Warrant and less (c) (i) the aggregate number of shares of PGUS Class A Common Stock, on an as-exercised basis, under the PGUS Options multiplied by (ii) the Redemption Price less the applicable exercise price of such PGUS Option (the “Purchase Price”), with each share of Pubco Class A Common Stock valued at the Redemption Price, and with each PGUS Stockholder receiving its Pro Rata Share of the “Merger Consideration” which such number of shares shall be determined by dividing the Purchase Price by the Redemption Price, as further adjusted pursuant to Section 3.2(b) of the Business Combination Agreement. Based on a Redemption Price of $11.05, and after giving effect to the adjustments in clauses (b) and (c) above, an aggregate of 105,649,826 shares of Pubco Common Stock will be paid to the PGUS stockholders as Merger Consideration at the Closing, comprised of 19,665,223 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock and 85,984,603 shares of Pubco Class B Common Stock. The final number of shares of Pubco Common Stock to be issued as Merger Consideration will be confirmed once the final Redemption Price has been determined.

 

Effect of Redomestication Merger

 

Subject to, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, the Redomestication Merger will occur, which will result in, among other things, the following, in each case, prior to or concurrently with the Redomestication Merger Effective Time:

 

(a)the existing governing documents of Pubco will be amended and restated and become the Proposed Organizational Documents (as defined below) of PrimeGen US, Inc. as described in this proxy statement/prospectus;

 

42

 

 

(b)immediately prior to the commencement of the Redomestication Merger, each issued and outstanding unit of DTCS will convert automatically by operation of law, on a one-for-one basis, into one DTCS Ordinary Share and one DTCS Right, and each issued and outstanding DTCS Right immediately prior to the Redomestication Merger Effective Time shall be converted into one-ninth (1/9) of one (1) DTCS Ordinary Share and all units of DTCS shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist;

 

(c)at the Redomestication Merger Effective Time, all of the issued and outstanding DTCS Ordinary Shares (including each Parent Ordinary Share resulting from the conversion of Parent Units and DTCS Rights pursuant to the preceding paragraph but other than the Parent Excluded Shares and Parent Dissenting Shares) will automatically be converted into one share of Pubco Class A Common Stock. Simultaneously with such automatic conversion, at the Redomestication Merger Effective Time all DTCS Ordinary Shares shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist;

 

(d)At the Redomestication Merger Effective Time, Pubco shall issue an aggregate of 1,931,900 Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants to (x) those Public Shareholders which, as of a time immediately prior to the Redomestication Merger Effective Time, have not tendered their DTCS Ordinary Shares in the Redemption and (y) all other holders of DTCS Ordinary Shares as of a time immediately prior to the Redomestication Merger (including, without limitation, the Sponsor, other Insiders and holders of other DTCS Ordinary Shares that are not Public Shares); the terms of the Non-Redemption Warrants are further described herein;

 

(e)at the Acquisition Merger Effective Time, each share of Class A common stock, par value $[  ], of PGUS (the “PGUS Class A Common Stock”) Class B common stock, par value $[  ], of PGUS (the “PGUS Class B Common Stock”, together with the PGUS Class A Common Stock, the “PGUS Common Stock”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Acquisition Merger Effective Time (other than shares to be canceled in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement and any Dissenting Shares (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement)) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive its Pro Rata Share of the Merger Consideration;

 

(e)at the Acquisition Merger Effective Time, if there are any shares of PGUS Common Stock that are owned by the Company as treasury shares prior to the Acquisition Merger Effective Time, such PGUS Common Stock shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist without any conversion thereof or payment therefor;

 

(f)each PGUS Option that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Acquisition Merger Effective Time will be cancelled and automatically converted into an Pubco Option;

 

(g)each PGUS Warrant that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Acquisition Merger Effective Time shall be cancelled and automatically converted into a Pubco Warrant.

 

PGUS Stockholder Appraisal/Dissenter’s Rights

 

Under the DGCL, PGUS Class A Common Stock and PGUS Class B Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by PGUS Stockholders (including beneficial owners) that neither voted in favor of the Business Combination nor consented thereto in writing and that have demanded properly in writing appraisal or dissenters’ rights for such shares of PGUS capital stock in accordance with the DGCL (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”; and the holders of Dissenting Shares being referred to as “Dissenting Stockholders”), and otherwise complied with all of the provisions of the DGCL relevant to the exercise and perfection of appraisal rights, will not be converted into, and such Dissenting Stockholders will have no right to receive, their Pro Rata Share of the Merger Consideration as provided in the Business Combination Agreement unless and until such Dissenting Stockholder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses their right to appraisal and payment under the DGCL. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such holder fails to perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws or loses the right to appraisal under the DGCL, then such holder’s Dissenting Shares will be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive their Pro Rata Share of the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, upon surrender of the certificate or certificates representing such shares (or an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) and the delivery of the Transmittal Documents as provided in the Business Combination Agreement.

 

Business Combination Agreement

 

For a description of the terms and conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, see “Proposal No. 1 – The Business Combination Proposal – Business Combination Agreement.”

 

The DTCS Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination

 

Before reaching its unanimous decision on February 2, 2026, the DTCS Board consulted with its management team, legal counsel and other advisors. The DTCS Board considered a variety of factors in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination in approving and recommending the transaction to the DTCS shareholders. In light of the complexity of those factors, the DTCS Board did not consider it practicable to, nor did it attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors it took into account in reaching its decision. Different individual members of the DTCS Board may have given different weight to different factors in their evaluation of the Business Combination.

 

The DTCS Board unanimously determined that the Business Combination Agreement, the related agreements to which DTCS is a party and the Transactions are fair to, and in the best interests of, DTCS and its stockholders, and approved the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination. All of the DTCS directors who are not employees of DTCS voted in favor of these matters, and there were no abstentions.

 

Further, the prospectus for the IPO identified the general criteria and guidelines that DTCS believed would be important in evaluating prospective target businesses, although DTCS also indicated it may enter into a business combination with a target business that does not meet these criteria and guidelines. The DTCS Board considered these criteria in its evaluation of PGUS, which include identifying companies that (i) generate or have the future potential to generate stable free cash-flow, (ii) have attractive unit economies at scale, (iii) demonstrate advantages when compared to their competitors (iv) have experienced management teams or provide a platform for us to assemble an effective and capable management team and (v) have a leading or niche market position and that demonstrate advantages when compared to their competitors. DTCS also considered seeking large, highly complex companies that we believe would benefit from operational improvements.

Monthly Extension Expenses

 

DTCS initially had15 months (the “Business Combination Period”) to complete a business combination after its IPO. At the Annual Meeting, the shareholders approved the Extension Proposal, allowing DTCS to extend the Business Combination Period to October 26, 2026, by depositing $75,000 into the Trust Account for each monthly extension, with each such extension payment due on the 26th day of each month.

 

Summary Risk Factors

 

In evaluating the proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting, shareholders should carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus and especially consider the factors discussed in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 50. In particular, such risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

Risks Related to DTCS’s Business and the Business Combination

 

●Directors and officers of DTCS, the Sponsor and their affiliates have interests in the Business Combination and the proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus that are different from, or in addition to and/or in conflict with, those of the DTCS shareholders generally.

 

●The Sponsor and DTCS’s directors and officers have agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how our Public Shareholders vote.

 

●The ability of our Public Shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of our Public Shares could increase the probability that the Business Combination will be unsuccessful and that you would have to wait for liquidation in order to redeem your Public Shares.

 

44

 

 

●The Sponsor, DTCS’s or PGUS’s directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates may elect to purchase Public Shares, which may influence a vote on the Business Combination and reduce the public “float” of the Public Shares.

 

●Past performance by our management team, our advisors and their respective affiliates, including investments and transactions in which they have participated and businesses with which they have been associated, may not be indicative of future performance of an investment in Pubco.

 

●DTCS cannot assure you that its diligence review has identified all material risks associated with the Business Combination, and you may be less protected as an investor from any material issues with respect to PGUS’s business, including any material omissions or misstatements contained in the Registration Statement or this proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Business Combination, than an investor in an underwritten initial public offering.
   
 ●The Business Combination was not structured to require the approval of at least a majority of DTCS’s unaffiliated shareholders.

 

●DTCS (or Pubco) will not have any right to make damage claims against PGUS for the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by PGUS in the Business Combination Agreement.

 

●DTCS’s shareholders will experience dilution due to the issuance of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock and securities convertible into the shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock to the PGUS Stockholders as consideration in the Business Combination.

 

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

 

●Pubco’s actual financial position and results of operations may differ materially from the unaudited pro forma financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus.

 

●There can be no assurance that the Pubco Class A Common Stock issued in connection with the Business Combination will be approved for listing on Nasdaq following the Closing.

 

●There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

●If third parties bring claims against DTCS, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $[ ] per share.
   
 ●The DTCS Board did not obtain a third-party fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination.

 

●DTCS’s directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of the Sponsor, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to the Public Shareholders.

 

●We may not have sufficient funds to satisfy indemnification claims of our directors and officers.

 

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

 

●If, after DTCS distributes the proceeds in the Trust Account to its Public Shareholders, it files a bankruptcy or insolvency petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency petition is filed against it that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy or insolvency court may seek to recover such proceeds, and the members of the DTCS Board may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to DTCS’s creditors, thereby exposing the members of the DTCS Board and DTCS to claims of punitive damages.

 

●The SEC has recently issued final rules to regulate special purpose acquisition companies. Certain of the procedures that we may determine to undertake in connection with such rules may increase our costs and the time needed to complete the Business Combination or any other initial business combination and may constrain the circumstances under which we could complete the Business Combination, or any other initial business combination.

 

45

 

 

●There is a risk that the 1% U.S. federal excise tax may be imposed on us in connection with redemptions of Public Shares.

 

  ●

DTCS faces risks associated with non-U.S. ownership, including PRC connections, which may result in regulatory uncertainty, enforcement challenges, and potential adverse effects on our business and the value of our securities.

 

●If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, we may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities may be restricted, which may make it difficult for us to complete the Business Combination or another initial business combination or force us to abandon our efforts to complete an initial business combination.

 

●We may not be able to complete the Business Combination, or another initial business combination, since such initial business combination may be subject to regulatory review and approval requirements, including foreign investment regulations and review by government entities such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”), or may be ultimately prohibited.

 

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

 

●If you or a “group” of shareholders are deemed to hold in excess of 15% of the Public Shares, you may lose the ability to redeem all such shares in excess of 15% of our Public Shares.

 

●You will not have any rights or interests in funds from the Trust Account, except under certain limited circumstances. Therefore, to liquidate your investment, you may be forced to sell your Public Shares, potentially at a loss.

 

●A Public Shareholder’s decision whether to redeem its shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account may not put such shareholder in a better future economic position.

 

●The net cash available to Pubco from the Trust Account and the financings described in this proxy statement/prospectus in respect of each Public Share that is not redeemed will be materially less than the price per share implied in the Business Combination Agreement to the shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock to be issued to the PGUS Stockholders.

 

●If a Public Shareholder fails to receive notice of our offer to redeem the Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination, or fails to comply with the procedures for submitting or tendering its Public Shares, such Public Shares may not be redeemed.

 

●If we are unable to consummate the Business Combination or another initial business combination by the date required in the Cayman Constitutional Documents, the Public Shareholders may be forced to wait beyond such date before redemption from our Trust Account.

 

●The completion of the Business Combination is subject to certain closing conditions, including satisfaction of all closing conditions in the Business Combination Agreement, any of which may make it more difficult for DTCS to complete the Business Combination as contemplated and may result in the Business Combination not being consummated.

 

●The exercise of DTCS’s management’s 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 the DTCS shareholders’ best interest.

 

●DTCS may be targeted by securities class action and derivative lawsuits that could result in substantial costs and may delay or prevent the Business Combination from being completed.

 

46

 

 

Risks Related to the Business and Industry of PGUS

  

  ● We are a pre-clinical stage biotechnology company with a limited operating history, and we may never successfully develop or commercialize any product candidates.
     
  ● The regulatory classification and requirements for exosome-based therapeutic products remain highly uncertain and continue to evolve, which could materially delay or prevent development and commercialization of our exosome product candidates.
     
  ● We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, significant indebtedness and may issue additional equity and equity-linked securities, which could require us to make substantial cash payments, restrict our operations and result in significant dilution to our stockholders.
     
  ● Our independent registered public accounting firm’s report on our consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and we have incurred significant losses since inception and expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future.
     
  ● We have not generated any revenue from therapeutic product sales to date, have incurred substantial net losses and negative cash flows from operations in each period since inception, and expect our capital burn rate to continue or accelerate, which limits our financial flexibility and ability to fund our operations.
     
  ● Our existing majority stockholder will continue to have significant influence over us after the Business Combination, which may limit your ability to influence corporate matters and could conflict with your interests.
     
  ● The intellectual property licensed to us by PGB is subject to a security interest securing PGB’s indebtedness to Stem Med, and PGB currently does not have sufficient available funds to repay such indebtedness when due. Any future enforcement of Stem Med’s rights as a secured lender could adversely affect our business.
     
  ● Our business is highly dependent on our ability to obtain, maintain and enforce licenses covering key technologies, trademarks and other intellectual property assets that we do not own outright.
     
  ● The scope of our intellectual property protection may not be sufficiently broad, the patents we licensed from PGB and those owned by our licensors may be challenged or invalidated, and we may face significant costs and uncertainties in enforcing our intellectual property rights against competitors.
     
  ● We have limited experience in manufacturing and commercializing cell therapy products and must rely on third parties for key technologies and manufacturing capabilities, which exposes us to significant risks.
     
  ● We have limited clinical development and regulatory experience, and clinical trials are expensive, time-consuming and inherently uncertain; failure to successfully design and conduct clinical trials could materially harm our business.
     
  ● The outcome of product testing is inherently uncertain, and any future clinical trials we may conduct may not be successful. We may not be able to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidates to the satisfaction of regulatory authorities, which could prevent or delay regulatory approval and commercialization.
     
  ● Certain of our directors, officers and significant stockholders have interests in other businesses, including entities with which we have important relationships, which may create or appear to create conflicts of interest.

 

Risks Related to Compliance with Law, Government Regulation and Litigation

  

  ● Our business is subject to extensive regulation by the FDA and other regulatory authorities, and failure to obtain or maintain required approvals could prevent or delay the development and commercialization of our product candidates.
     
  ● The regulatory landscape for stem cell- and exosome-based therapies is evolving and uncertain, which may increase the time, cost and risk of developing our product candidates.
     
  ● Failure to comply with IND, clinical trial and manufacturing requirements could delay or prevent the development of our product candidates.
     
  ● Compliance with applicable laws and regulations is costly and time-consuming and may divert management attention from our core business activities.
     
  ● We may be subject to regulatory enforcement actions, investigations or litigation, which could result in significant penalties and harm our business and reputation.

  

Risks Related to Pubco’s Securities Following the Consummation of the Business Combination

 

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

 

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

 

●Even if DTCS consummates the Business Combination, there is no guarantee that the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants will ever be in the money, and they may expire worthless.

 

●Your unexpired Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants may be redeemed prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to you, thereby making your Warrants worthless.

 

●The warrants may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Pubco Class A Common Stock.

 

●If the Redomestication Merger does not qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code, U.S. Holders of PGUS stock may be required to pay substantial U.S. federal income taxes.

 

●The proposed Pubco Certificate of Incorporation will provide, subject to limited exceptions, that the courts of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation matters, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or stockholders.

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. The use of “we” and “our” shall generally mean DTCS, with respect to periods prior to the Business Combination and Pubco after the Business Combination. The use of “we”, “our”, or the “Company”, with respect to PGUS’s business (or Pubco’s) after the Business Combination, shall generally refer to PGUS before the Business Combination or Pubco after the Business Combination, respectively. The risks described below are those which the DTCS and PGUS believe are the material risks that they face. Additional risks not presently known to them or which they currently consider immaterial may also have an adverse effect on them or the combined company following the Business Combination Agreement. Some statements in this proxy statement/prospectus, including such statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. See the section titled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

For purposes of this Risk Factors section, references to “our patents,” “our intellectual property,” and similar terms refer to intellectual property licensed from PGB under the PGB IP Licenses rather than owned by us, and certain future inventions and improvements developed by us may be owned by PGB pursuant to the terms of such licenses.

 

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

 

We are a pre-clinical stage biotechnology company with a limited operating history, and we may never successfully develop or commercialize any product candidates.

 

We are a pre-clinical stage biotechnology company with a limited operating history, and our business is subject to the risks of an early-stage company focused on developing cell therapy-based product candidates, which may never receive regulatory approval or be commercialized.

 

We are in the early stages of developing our product candidates and have a limited operating history upon which you can evaluate our prospects. We have not received regulatory approval for, or commercialized, any therapeutic product. On October 8, 2025, we submitted a pre-investigational new drug (“pre-IND”) meeting request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) under Pre-Submission Number PTS#PS009936 (the “Pre-Submission Number”). We submitted our pre-IND briefing package to the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (“CBER”) on November 17, 2025, and on December 17, 2025, we participated in a pre-IND meeting with FDA (FDA Meeting ID #22057). FDA provided a written meeting summary letter dated January 8, 2026, and we submitted a request for clarification (SN0003) on January 27, 2026. These interactions do not guarantee that FDA will agree with our development plans or that FDA will accept any future investigational new drug (“IND”) we may submit. Even if FDA accepts an IND, there is no guarantee that FDA will permit us to initiate clinical trials on our proposed timeline or at all, that any such trials, if initiated, will be successful, or that any of our product candidates will receive marketing approval.

 

FDA may require us to conduct additional preclinical studies, perform additional chemistry, manufacturing and controls (“CMC”) work, or modify our proposed clinical protocols before accepting any IND for filing or allowing us to commence clinical trials under any future IND. Even if we are able to initiate clinical trials in the future, our product candidates may fail to demonstrate sufficient safety or efficacy, may produce undesirable or unintended side effects, or may otherwise not provide meaningful clinical benefit compared to standard of care. Any failure or delay in demonstrating safety and efficacy could delay, limit or prevent regulatory approval, impair our ability to raise additional capital and adversely affect our business and prospects.

 

50

 

 

Our business is subject to extensive government regulation, and regulatory requirements for cell therapy products are evolving and uncertain.

 

The research, development, testing, manufacture, quality control, safety, effectiveness, approval, labeling, storage, record-keeping, promotion, advertising, distribution, import, export, marketing and sale of our product candidates are subject to extensive regulation by FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities. The process of obtaining and maintaining regulatory approvals is lengthy, expensive and uncertain, and regulatory requirements for cell therapy products, including those based on stem cells or exosomes, continue to evolve. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, we remain in the pre-IND stage of development and have not yet had an IND allowed by FDA. While we submitted a pre-IND meeting request to FDA on October 8, 2025 under the Pre-Submission Number, provided a pre-IND briefing package to CBER on November 17, 2025, participated in a pre-IND meeting with FDA on December 17, 2025 (FDA Meeting ID #22057), received an FDA meeting summary letter dated January 8, 2026 and submitted a request for clarification (SN0003) on January 27, 2026, there can be no assurance that FDA will agree with our development plans, that FDA will accept any IND we may submit in the future, that FDA will permit us to commence clinical trials on our anticipated timeline, if at all, or that any clinical trials we may conduct will be successful. We may fail to obtain the necessary approvals to conduct clinical trials, to continue our research and development programs, or to manufacture or market any product candidates. Any failure to obtain, maintain or comply with required regulatory approvals could delay or prevent development and commercialization of our product candidates, materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations, and adversely affect the value of our securities.

 

The regulatory classification and requirements for exosome-based therapeutic products remain highly uncertain and continue to evolve, which could materially delay or prevent development and commercialization of our exosome product candidates.

 

A significant portion of our product development efforts focuses on exosome-based therapeutic applications. Exosomes are extracellular vesicles that can carry proteins, lipids, RNA and other biological materials, and we believe they may have therapeutic potential in various disease indications. However, the regulatory pathway for exosome-based therapeutic products has not been clearly established by FDA or other regulatory authorities worldwide. There is limited regulatory precedent for the approval of exosome-based therapies, and regulatory authorities have not issued comprehensive guidance specifically addressing the development, manufacturing, characterization, quality control or clinical testing requirements for such products. As a result, it is unclear whether FDA or other regulators will classify our exosome product candidates as drugs, biologics, gene therapies, combination products or some other regulatory category, and what specific regulatory requirements will apply. Different regulatory classifications could result in materially different regulatory pathways, approval timelines, manufacturing requirements, post-approval obligations and costs. FDA or other regulatory authorities may determine that our exosome products require novel or more extensive preclinical testing, manufacturing controls, product characterization, potency assays, stability testing or clinical trial designs than we currently anticipate, or may impose requirements that are technically difficult or impossible to satisfy with current technologies. Regulatory authorities may also raise questions or concerns about the source of exosomes, methods of isolation and purification, scalability and reproducibility of manufacturing processes, the biological activity and mechanism of action of exosomes, potential immunogenicity or safety risks, or the adequacy of our quality control and characterization methods. Any such developments could substantially increase the cost, complexity and duration of our development programs, could require us to conduct additional studies or generate additional data, could delay or prevent our ability to initiate or complete clinical trials or obtain regulatory approvals, or could require us to modify, suspend or abandon our exosome-based product development efforts entirely. In addition, if regulatory requirements for exosome-based therapeutics become more stringent or burdensome than we anticipate, we may not have sufficient financial resources to satisfy such requirements, which could materially harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

 

We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, significant indebtedness and may issue additional equity and equity-linked securities, which could require us to make substantial cash payments, restrict our operations and result in significant dilution to our stockholders.

 

We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, significant losses and negative cash flows from operations as we advance our development programs and build out our infrastructure. To finance our operations, we have historically relied, and expect to continue to rely, on a combination of equity and debt financings. We have a revolving credit facility with East West Bank that provides for borrowings of up to $2,000,000, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Additionally, on November 5, 2025, we issued a promissory note in the amount of $300,000 to Rita YuKa Wong, the spouse of our Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, which matured on March 31, 2026. The parties agreed to amend and restate the promissory note with an extended maturity to September 30, 2026, or the closing of the Business Combination, whichever is earlier. Our indebtedness could require us to use a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations, if any, to service principal and interest payments, thereby reducing funds available for working capital, capital expenditures, research and development and other corporate purposes. Failure to comply with the covenants under our credit facility or bridge note, or to repay such indebtedness when due, could result in an event of default, which could permit the lenders to accelerate the indebtedness and exercise their rights. In addition, we expect to raise substantial additional capital through equity or equity-linked financings to fund our operations, which could result in significant dilution to our existing stockholders.

 

51

 

 

Our independent registered public accounting firm’s report on our consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 contain an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and we have incurred significant losses since inception and expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future.

 

The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 includes an explanatory paragraph stating that we have incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations and had negative working capital as of December 31, 2025, which raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The report further states that the financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

We have not generated any revenue from therapeutic product sales, and we do not expect to generate revenue from such product sales for a number of years, if at all. We expect our operating losses to increase substantially as we advance our product candidates through preclinical studies and clinical development, seek regulatory approval, establish or outsource manufacturing capabilities, commercialize any approved products, and incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company following the business combination. Our ability to generate revenue and achieve profitability depends on many factors, including successful development, regulatory approval and commercialization of our product candidates, none of which can be assured. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenue from product sales or otherwise, we may never achieve or sustain profitability.

 

We will require substantial additional funding, and if we are unable to raise capital when needed on acceptable terms, we could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our development programs, commercialization efforts or other operations.

 

We expect that our existing cash, cash equivalents, available borrowings under our existing credit facility and the cash we expect to receive in the Business Combination (after giving effect to redemptions and payment of transaction expenses) will not be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for the period we currently estimate will be necessary to advance our development programs. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, among others, the scope, progress, results and costs of our research and development activities; the costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and protecting our intellectual property rights and defending intellectual property-related claims; the timing and amount of milestone, royalty or other payments we may be required to make to third parties; and the extent to which we acquire or invest in businesses, products and technologies. We may be unable to raise additional funds when needed or on favorable terms, or at all, due to factors such as our financial condition, the status of our development programs, market volatility, general economic conditions or other factors outside of our control. If we cannot raise additional capital when required, we may be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our research and development programs, future commercialization efforts or other operations, or pursue strategic alternatives on unattractive terms.

 
We have not generated any revenue from therapeutic product sales to date, have incurred substantial net losses and negative cash flows from operations in each period since inception, and expect our capital burn rate to continue or accelerate, which limits our financial flexibility and ability to fund our operations.

 

With respect to our therapeutic product candidate PGSXC-L1A, we have not generated any revenue from therapeutic product sales, and we do not expect to generate revenue from therapeutic product sales for a number of years, if at all. We have also incurred substantial net losses and negative operating cash flows in each period since our inception. Our ability to achieve revenue-generating sales from our therapeutics is highly uncertain and is not expected to occur for several years, if at all, and will depend on numerous factors, including successful completion of preclinical studies, FDA acceptance of one or more INDs, successful completion of clinical trials, receipt of regulatory approvals, establishment of manufacturing and supply chain capabilities, market acceptance of our products, obtaining adequate reimbursement from third-party payors, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

 

52

 

 

With respect to our exosome-based cosmetic products marketed under the Étrive skin solutions brand, we have generated limited revenue to date. Our Étrive products were recently launched and have had limited market activity, and there is substantial uncertainty regarding our ability to generate meaningful or sustained revenue from these cosmetic products. The commercial success of our Étrive cosmetic products will depend on numerous factors, including our ability to secure adequate manufacturing capacity and supply chain capabilities for cosmetic-grade exosome products, obtain sufficient working capital to fund inventory, marketing and distribution expenses, establish and maintain effective marketing, sales and distribution channels (including through third-party service providers), achieve market acceptance and brand recognition in a competitive cosmetics market, comply with evolving regulatory requirements applicable to cosmetic products, maintain product quality and avoid adverse events or product recalls, and successfully scale production and sales operations, none of which can be assured. We may need to invest substantial additional capital in manufacturing infrastructure, inventory, marketing campaigns, distribution arrangements and personnel to grow our cosmetics business, and we may not achieve profitability from cosmetic product sales.

 

We expect to continue to incur substantial losses and negative cash flows as we advance our preclinical programs, seek to initiate and complete clinical trials, invest in manufacturing capabilities and infrastructure for both therapeutic and cosmetic products, maintain our intellectual property rights and licenses, scale our Étrive cosmetics commercialization efforts, hire additional personnel, and incur costs associated with operating as a public company following the business combination. Our limited operating history, negative cash flows, absence of revenue from therapeutic products, and uncertainty regarding our ability to generate future revenue from either therapeutic or cosmetic products or achieve profitability may make it difficult for us to raise additional capital on favorable terms or at all, may limit our strategic flexibility and may adversely affect our relationships with suppliers, partners, employees and other stakeholders.

 

Our majority stockholder, PGG, will continue to have significant influence over us after the Business Combination, which may limit your ability to influence corporate matters and could conflict with your interests.

 

PGG, our majority stockholder, holds all 100,000,000 issued and outstanding shares of PGUS Class B Common Stock, which carry “super voting” rights of ten (10) votes per share, and owns approximately 81%, or approximately 65% on a fully diluted basis, of PGUS. Wai Sun Szeto is the Chief Executive Officer and a director of PGG, and Daniel Chiu is Chairman. Mr. Szeto and Mr. Chiu also serve at PGUS as the Co-Chief Executive Officers and as directors, with Mr. Chiu as Chairman. As a result, PGG will continue to be able to exert significant control over our business and affairs, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions, following the Business Combination. PGG’s interests may not always align with the interests of our other stockholders. For example, PGG may support or oppose transactions, including financings, mergers, acquisitions, asset sales or other strategic transactions, that some or all of our other stockholders do not view as favorable. PGG’s ability to exercise significant influence over us could delay, defer or prevent a change in control or other transaction that you may consider favorable and may make it more difficult for you and other stockholders to influence corporate matters.

 

Our Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, Mr. Daniel Chiu, through his interests in Stem Med Scientific Holdings, LLC (“Stem Med Holdings”), Stem Med Scientific Inc. (“Stem Med”), PGG and PrimeGen Biotech, LLC (“PGB”), can significantly influence our direction and policies. This concentration of influence, coupled with related party relationships, may create actual or potential conflicts of interest between Mr. Chiu and our other stockholders. These conflicts may relate to, among other things, competitive business opportunities, related party transactions, financings, strategic decisions, and the terms and enforcement of our license agreements with PGB.

 

The majority stockholder of PGG and of PGB is Stem Med Scientific Inc., of which Mr. Chiu is the President, Chief Financial Officer, and sole director. Stem Med is wholly-owned by Stem Med Scientific Holdings, LLC (“Stem Med Holdings”), of which Mr. Chiu is a member and the Manager.

 

Through these holdings, Mr. Chiu can significantly influence PGG and PGB and, indirectly, our Company. For example, Mr. Chiu may influence PGG in its capacity as our current majority stockholder to affect the election of our Board of Directors and the approval of significant corporate transactions. This influence may prevent or delay transactions, such as a merger, consolidation, sale of assets or financing transaction, that could be favorable to our other stockholders, or may cause us to enter into transactions that some stockholders may view as unfavorable. As a result of these holdings and relationships, Mr. Chiu and entities he controls may have interests that differ from those of our other stockholders and may take actions that are not aligned with the interests of our other stockholders. This concentration of ownership and control may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control, merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination that might otherwise be beneficial to our stockholders or might result in our stockholders receiving a premium for their shares over the then-current market price.

 

53

 

 

The intellectual property licensed to us by PGB is subject to a security interest securing PGB’s indebtedness to Stem Med, and PGB currently does not have sufficient available funds to repay such indebtedness when due. Any future enforcement of Stem Med’s rights as a secured lender could adversely affect our business.

 

Stem Med holds an amended and restated secured convertible promissory note under which PGB is the borrower (the “PGB Promissory Note”). As of May 31, 2026, the outstanding principal amount under the note was approximately $17.46 million, accrued and unpaid interest was approximately $6.32 million and the aggregate amount outstanding was approximately $23.78 million. The PGB Promissory Note bears a simple interest rate of 10% per annum and is secured by liens and security interests in substantially all of PGB’s assets, including, without limitation, the intellectual property assets that are licensed to us under the PGB IP Licenses. PGB currently does not have sufficient available funds to repay such indebtedness when due.

 

The PGB Promissory Note originally required PGB to make a partial interest payment on December 31, 2025. PGB did not make such payment when due, and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest due as of that date was approximately $5.60 million. On June 12, 2026, PGB and Stem Med entered into a First Amendment and Limited Waiver pursuant to which Stem Med waived any event of default arising solely from PGB’s failure to make such payment and all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest remain due on December 31, 2026, the scheduled maturity date of the PGB Promissory Note, unless earlier accelerated, converted, prepaid with Stem Med’s consent, or otherwise due in accordance with the PGB Promissory Note. The First Amendment and Limited Waiver did not reduce the outstanding principal, forgive accrued interest, reduce the interest rate, release collateral, or otherwise impair Stem Med’s rights under the note or related security agreement. There can be no assurance that PGB will satisfy its obligations under the note when due or that future defaults will not occur. In the event of a future uncured default, Stem Med may have the right to accelerate the outstanding indebtedness and exercise its remedies as a secured lender, including foreclosing on substantially all of PGB’s assets.

 

Furthermore, the PGB Promissory Note includes an optional conversion right that permits Stem Med, at its sole discretion, to convert some or all of the outstanding principal and accrued interest into equity of PGB, although Stem Med is not obligated to exercise this conversion right. If Stem Med were to exercise this conversion right, Stem Med’s ownership and control of PGB would increase, which could further concentrate Mr. Chiu’s indirect control over the intellectual property assets licensed to us and could affect PGB’s strategic decisions regarding the PGB IP Licenses.

 

While we have entered into a Subordination and Non-Disturbance Agreement by and among us, PGB and Stem Med (the “Non-Disturbance Agreement”), pursuant to which Stem Med, as “Lender”, has agreed that our rights as “Licensee” under the PGB Patent License will not be terminated, diminished or interfered with by Stem Med’s enforcement of its rights under certain loan agreements with PGB (including in the event of foreclosure or assignment), this does not prevent disputes among us, PGB and Stem Med regarding the interpretation nor enforcement of their respective rights. For example, we have not entered into a similar non-disturbance agreement with respect to the PGB Trademark License, meaning that our rights to use trademarks licensed under that agreement could be terminated or adversely affected if Stem Med forecloses on PGB’s assets. In addition, even with respect to the PGB Patent License, the Non-Disturbance Agreement could give rise to disputes regarding interpretation or enforcement, could complicate our relationship with PGB or any successor owner of the licensed intellectual property, and does not prevent Stem Med from taking other actions in its capacity as lender or as controller of PGG that could adversely affect us.

 

Any of these risks, individually or in combination, could materially and adversely affect the scope and durability of our intellectual property protection and, as a result, our ability to develop, manufacture and commercialize our product candidates and other products.

 

Our business is highly dependent on our ability to obtain, maintain and enforce licenses covering key technologies, trademarks and other intellectual property assets that we do not own outright.

 

We have entered into license agreements with PGB, an affiliate controlled by Stem Med, under which PGB owns certain key intellectual property and licenses such intellectual property to us. These include (i) a patent license under which PGB licenses to us certain patents, patent applications, and/or know-how (the “PGB Patent License”) and (ii) a trademark license under which PGB licenses to us certain trademarks and/or trademark applications relating to our business (“the “PGB Trademark License”), including the “PrimeGen” marks and potentially other marks that we use or may use in connection with our exosome product lines (the PGB Patent License and the PGB Trademark License, collectively, the “PGB IP Licenses”). Under the PGB IP Licenses, we are obligated to make certain payments to PGB, which may include fixed fees and/or royalties on net sales and/or other forms of consideration. In addition, future intellectual property developed by us, including but not limited to if in connection with, or as an improvement to, the intellectual property subject to the PGB Patent License may be owned by PGB, even if developed in whole or in part by us, thereby substantially limiting our ownership of future innovations.

 

54

 

 

Because we rely on licenses from PGB rather than ownership of these patents, patent applications, know-how, trademarks and other intellectual property rights, our ability to continue to use these rights for the development, manufacture, marketing and sale of our product candidates and other products is entirely dependent on the continued effectiveness and enforceability of our agreements with PGB, our compliance with the terms of such licenses, and on PGB’s decisions regarding prosecution, maintenance, enforcement, licensing and monetization of the underlying rights. Our license agreements contain performance obligations, milestone requirements, royalty payment obligations, and other conditions that, if not satisfied, could result in termination of the licenses or loss of exclusivity. PGB may determine not to file, maintain or prosecute patent or trademark applications, or to abandon patents or registrations, in one or more jurisdictions (including foreign jurisdictions) that may be important to our business, may not pursue continuation or divisional applications that could otherwise enhance coverage, may not prioritize claims that best cover our product candidates, or may otherwise make decisions regarding the scope, timing and geography of protection that we cannot control or influence but that could adversely affect our competitive position.

The PGB IP Licenses and related agreements are subject to termination and other remedies under various circumstances, which may include, among others, our failure to make required payments when due, our material breach of covenants, certain insolvency or bankruptcy events and, in some cases, a change of control of our Company or assignment or transfer of the applicable PGB IP License without PGB’s prior written consent, which change of control may be triggered in connection with the business combination unless waived by PGB. The PGB IP Licenses and related agreements may also give PGB audit rights with respect to our books and records relating to the calculation and payment of royalties and other amounts, and any exercise of such rights could lead to disputes regarding the amount of payments due, alleged underpayment or breaches, or assertions of other contractual violations.

 

In the event of termination, expiration without renewal, or material restriction of any of the PGB IP Licenses or related agreements (including as a result of PGB enforcing rights as a result of our default, as a result of a failure to obtain or maintain necessary consents or waivers in connection with the business combination or otherwise), we could lose some or all of our rights to use key patents, patent applications and related technology, key trademarks, trademark applications and service marks that are necessary or important for the research, development, manufacture, commercialization and branding of our current or planned product candidates or business. This could force us to cease or delay programs, seek alternative rights (which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all), redesign products, technologies, packaging, and branding to avoid the affected intellectual property (which may be impossible, costly or time-consuming), or abandon product candidates or branded products or services, any of which would materially harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

 

As described above, if PGB is in default under the PGB Promissory Note, Stem Med will have the right to foreclose on substantially all of PGB’s assets, including the intellectual property assets licensed to us under the PGB IP Licenses. While we have entered into a Non-Disturbance Agreement with respect to the PGB Patent License, we have not entered into a similar agreement with respect to the PGB Trademark License, and even the Non-Disturbance Agreement could give rise to disputes regarding interpretation or enforcement. Any foreclosure, change of control of PGB, or exercise of remedies by Stem Med could complicate our relationship with PGB or any successor owner of the licensed intellectual property and could adversely affect the scope, terms and durability of our licenses.

 

Because PGB is controlled by Stem Med and affiliated with our Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, Mr. Daniel Chiu, any negotiations or amendments to any of the PGB IP Licenses or related arrangements may give rise to potential conflicts of interest. We do not own an equity interest in, or control, PGB, and PGB may take actions in its own interest that are adverse to ours, including enforcing its termination or audit rights, refusing to grant waivers or consents (including in connection with the business combination), or licensing competing rights to third parties.

 

55

 

 

Any of these risks, individually or in combination, could materially and adversely affect the scope and durability of our intellectual property protection and, as a result, our ability to develop, manufacture and commercialize our product candidates and other products.

 

The scope of our intellectual property protection may not be sufficiently broad, the patents we licensed from PGB and those owned by our licensors may be challenged or invalidated, and we may face significant costs and uncertainties in enforcing our intellectual property rights against competitors.

 

Our success depends on the scope, validity and enforceability of patent and other intellectual property protection covering our technologies, product candidates, their uses, related technologies and manufacturing processes. We may not own any patents directly and rely substantially on licenses from PGB and potentially other third parties for patent rights and other intellectual property necessary to our business. As a licensee rather than owner, we have limited or no control over the filing, prosecution, maintenance, enforcement or defense of the patents and patent applications we license, and we depend on PGB and our other licensors to take these actions in a manner that protects our interests. Patent applications filed by our licensors, including PGB, may not result in the issuance of patents in the United States or in other jurisdictions. To the extent we file any patent applications directly in the future, such applications similarly may not result in issued patents. Any patents that do issue to our licensors or to us may fail to provide adequate protection for our technologies, prevent competitors or other third parties from designing around such patents, or otherwise provide any competitive advantage. Others may challenge patents licensed to us or any patents we may own through administrative proceedings, such as interference, opposition, derivation, inter partes review, post-grant review and reexamination, or in litigation seeking to invalidate or render unenforceable the patents. If one or more patents licensed to us or owned by us are challenged and invalidated or found unenforceable, or if the scope of the claims is otherwise limited, our competitive position could be harmed and our ability to commercialize our product candidates could be adversely affected. Because we rely on licenses rather than ownership for key intellectual property, any such challenges, invalidity determinations or limitations on patent scope are largely outside of our control and depend on the actions and decisions of our licensors, which includes PGB.

 

Competitors may develop products, technologies or methods that are similar or superior to ours and that do not infringe our licensed patents or other intellectual property rights, or that are developed under rights retained by or licensed from our licensors, including PGB, or other third parties. Others may also develop products, technologies or methods in violation of the patents licensed to us or those owned by our licensors, or may operate around our patents or license agreements, which could prevent potential future sales or significantly reduce or eliminate our commercialization opportunities.

 

To protect or enforce the patent rights we license or any patent rights we may own in the future, we or our licensors may need to initiate administrative proceedings or litigation against third parties, including infringement actions, oppositions, derivations, inter partes reviews or other proceedings. These actions are expensive, time-consuming and uncertain, and may divert our management’s attention and resources from our business. We or our licensors may not prevail in these actions, in which case the prevailing party may obtain rights that limit or preclude our ability to practice our claimed inventions and technologies, which could adversely affect our ability to develop, manufacture and commercialize our product candidates.

 

Third parties may allege that our product candidates, technologies or activities, or those of our licensors, infringe or otherwise violate their patents or other intellectual property rights. Intellectual property litigation is expensive, complex and inherently uncertain. If we or our licensors are found to infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights, we could be required to obtain a license from such third party, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all, to pay damages, including treble damages and attorneys’ fees if we are found to have willfully infringed, to cease developing, manufacturing or commercializing the infringing products or technologies, or to redesign our products or processes, which may be impossible or commercially impractical. Even if we ultimately prevail, any litigation could be costly, time-consuming and divert management’s attention from our business, and could harm our reputation.

The patent position of biotechnology and cell therapy companies is generally highly uncertain and involves complex legal and factual questions that are often the subject of litigation and administrative proceedings, and changes in patent law could increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution, enforcement and defense of the patents licensed to us and those owned by our licensors.

 

Contractual arrangements with licensors, manufacturers, collaborators or other third parties may require us to pay royalties, milestone payments and other amounts based on the development and commercialization of our product candidates, which would reduce the economic value and profitability of any products we may successfully develop and commercialize.

 

Even if we obtain regulatory approval for and successfully commercialize one or more of our cell therapy product candidates, we may be required to make royalty or other payments to our licensors, manufacturers, collaborators or other third parties based on net sales or other performance metrics. As a result, we would not be entitled to retain all of the revenues generated from commercial sales of such products. In addition, we are contemplating the use of third-party manufacturers for cell supply, processing, incubation, activation and other activities, which, among other risks, presents potential manufacturing supply and reliability issues, quality and regulatory compliance risks, and intellectual property infringement risks.

 

We have limited experience in manufacturing and commercializing cell therapy products and must rely on third parties for key technologies and manufacturing capabilities, which exposes us to significant risks.

 

Cell therapy treatments, including stem cell-based approaches and exosome products, are relatively new in the marketplace. We are researching, developing and planning to pursue the commercialization of cell therapy treatments (including exosome products), but we have limited or no experience manufacturing commercial-scale cell therapy products, establishing supply chains, or marketing and selling such products. We expect to rely on collaborative partners and contract development and manufacturing organizations (“CDMOs”) for cell sourcing, processing and manufacturing, and on other third parties, including PGB, for specialized technologies. The number of third-party manufacturers with the expertise, technology, regulatory approvals and facilities necessary to manufacture cell therapy products, particularly those involving stem cells and exosomes, is very limited. As a result, we have limited options in selecting manufacturing partners and may be highly concentrated in our reliance on one or a small number of CDMOs for critical manufacturing activities. If any of our manufacturing partners experiences capacity constraints, operational difficulties, regulatory compliance issues, financial distress, natural disasters, pandemics or other business interruptions, or elects to discontinue its relationship with us or to prioritize other customers’ products over ours, we may have significant difficulty identifying and qualifying alternative manufacturers in a timely manner, if at all, which could cause substantial delays in our development timelines and commercialization plans. In addition, the development and scale-up of manufacturing processes for cell therapy products often involves close collaboration between us and our CDMOs, which may result in the creation of jointly owned or CDMO-owned intellectual property relating to manufacturing processes, formulations, analytical methods or other technologies. Our agreements with CDMOs may not adequately address ownership of improvements, derivatives, or jointly developed intellectual property, or may grant the CDMO rights that limit our ability to use such intellectual property. If such intellectual property is owned or co-owned by a CDMO, we may have limited or no rights to use that intellectual property with alternative manufacturers, which could further limit our ability to change manufacturers and could increase our dependence on, and the leverage of, our existing manufacturing partners. Any jointly developed intellectual property could also become subject to disputes regarding ownership, rights to use, licensing obligations or inventorship, which could be costly and time-consuming to resolve and could delay or prevent our ability to manufacture our product candidates. We may also be required to pay additional royalties or fees to CDMOs for the use of jointly developed intellectual property, further reducing our profitability. Among other risks, reliance on third parties presents potential supply and capacity constraints, quality and regulatory compliance risks, intellectual property infringement risks, technology transfer challenges, and could expose us to the consequences of their business, regulatory or financial difficulties. Any of these factors could materially delay or prevent the development and commercialization of our product candidates and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

57

 

 

We have limited clinical development and regulatory experience, and clinical trials are expensive, time-consuming and inherently uncertain; failure to successfully design and conduct clinical trials could materially harm our business.

 

Due to the relatively early stage of our product candidates and cell therapy platforms, we have not yet invested significantly in internal clinical operations and regulatory infrastructure, including capabilities to design, initiate, monitor and manage animal or human clinical trials. We cannot assure you that we will be able to build or access these capabilities successfully or on the timelines we anticipate. Human clinical trials are very expensive and difficult to design and implement, in part because they are subject to rigorous regulatory requirements and oversight. We have not yet had an IND accepted by the FDA. We have engaged with the FDA at the pre-IND stage, and the FDA may require us to modify our proposed trial design, conduct additional nonclinical studies or CMC work, or address other issues before accepting any IND for filing or allowing us to initiate clinical trials. The Company has engaged with the FDA regarding its product development plans. In a meeting held on December 17, 2025, and in subsequent correspondence dated January 27, 2026 (Serial Number SN0003), the FDA provided feedback regarding the Company’s proposed clinical trial design and regulatory pathway. Clinical trials can take many years to complete, and failure can occur at any time. We may encounter problems that require us to suspend, delay, modify or terminate clinical trials. Regulatory authorities, including FDA, may also suspend or terminate our clinical trials at any time for safety, compliance or other reasons. Any such developments could materially delay or prevent the development and commercialization of our product candidates and harm our business.

 

The outcome of product testing is inherently uncertain, and any future clinical trials we may conduct may not be successful. We may not be able to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidates to the satisfaction of regulatory authorities, which could prevent or delay regulatory approval and commercialization.

 

Before obtaining regulatory approval for the commercial sale of any human therapeutic product, our product candidates must undergo extensive preclinical and clinical testing to demonstrate their safety and efficacy in humans. Any future clinical trials of our product candidates, including those we may conduct under future INDs, or those conducted by our licensees or collaborators, may not demonstrate the safety or efficacy of such products at all or to the extent necessary to obtain regulatory approvals. Similarly, testing may not be completed in a timely manner, if at all, and may be subject to significant unexpected costs, delays or both. Our product candidates may not prove to be more effective, safer or more convenient than existing therapies. As a result, we may have to delay, modify or abandon efforts to research, develop or obtain regulatory approval to market our product candidates. Any failure to adequately demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidates under development could delay or prevent regulatory approval and materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Even if we successfully develop and obtain regulatory approval for one or more therapeutic applications using our cell technologies, we may not achieve commercial success, and we may not be able to build a commercially viable and profitable business based on such products.

 

Cell therapy and related biotechnologies are rapidly evolving fields, and scientific and technological developments may render our technologies or product candidates obsolete or less competitive. While our product candidates may appear promising based on our current data, they may fail to be successfully commercialized for numerous reasons, including the development of more effective or less costly therapies by others, unforeseen safety or efficacy issues, changes in standard of care, or shifts in payer or provider preferences. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop commercially successful therapeutic applications for our technologies.

 

Our industry is characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product introductions and evolving standards, which could render our technologies or product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive.

 

Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to anticipate and respond to these changes on a timely and cost-effective basis and to pursue new market opportunities that may arise from scientific and technological advances. These new opportunities may be outside the scope of our current expertise or in areas with unproven market demand. Our inability to successfully adapt to changing technologies, to develop and commercialize new or improved products in a timely manner, or to gain market acceptance for our technologies and product candidates could adversely affect our business and operating results.

 

58

 

 

If the medical relevance, safety and efficacy of cell therapy and exosome-based approaches are not adequately demonstrated or are not accepted by the medical community, regulators, payors or patients, demand for our potential therapeutic products and services may be limited, and our ability to enter into development and commercialization collaborations may be adversely affected.

 

Some of the potential therapeutic products and services we hope to develop involve novel and unproven scientific approaches or involve applications in markets that we are only beginning to explore. The scientific and medical communities’ understanding of the role of cell therapies and exosome-based products in treating disease remains limited and continues to evolve. We cannot be certain that these approaches will be accepted by healthcare providers, patients, regulators, payors, diagnostic, pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies, or by any other potential market or industry segment. Even if our product candidates receive regulatory approval, the degree of market acceptance will depend on a number of factors, including the clinical indications for which they are approved, their perceived advantages over existing therapies, safety profile, cost, reimbursement and the effectiveness of our or our partners’ sales and marketing efforts.

 

Our ability to grow and achieve our business objectives depends on our ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel, and we may not be able to do so.

 

Our success depends on our ability to identify, attract, hire, train, retain and motivate highly qualified personnel, including scientific, clinical, regulatory, technical, manufacturing, finance and managerial personnel. Competition for such qualified personnel in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries is intense, particularly in the cell therapy and exosome fields, and we may not be successful in attracting and retaining these employees. The demands of operating as a public company may also place additional burdens on our management and key personnel. If we cannot attract and retain the personnel we require, we will not be able to advance our development programs, build the infrastructure necessary to support commercialization, or execute our business strategy. In addition, the loss of any member of our senior management team, key employees, scientists or physician collaborators, or our inability to recruit suitable replacements on a timely basis, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 


We do not maintain key person life insurance or other insurance coverage that would adequately compensate us for the loss of our key personnel, and our operations could be significantly disrupted if we lose the services of one or more key individuals.

 


Our success depends heavily on the continued service and performance of our key management, scientific and technical personnel, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Scientific Officer and other members of our senior management team. These individuals possess specialized knowledge, expertise and relationships that are critical to our operations, including knowledge of our product candidates and technologies, relationships with regulatory authorities, manufacturing partners, licensors and other key stakeholders, and understanding of our strategic direction and business plans. The loss of services of one or more of these key individuals due to death, disability, resignation, retirement, competition from other employers or other reasons could significantly disrupt our operations, delay our development programs, impair our ability to raise additional capital, harm our relationships with third parties and adversely affect our ability to execute our business strategy. We do not currently maintain key person life insurance or other insurance policies on any of our executive officers or other key employees that would provide us with adequate proceeds in the event of their death or disability. As a result, we would not receive any financial compensation to offset the costs of recruiting and training replacement personnel or the potential loss of business, relationships or institutional knowledge resulting from the loss of key personnel. In addition, certain of our key personnel, including Mr. Chiu and other members of senior management, have significant equity ownership in our Company and in related entities, including PGB, Stem Med, and PGG, which could create additional complications in the event of their death or disability, including potential disputes over control of such entities, uncertainty regarding the continuation of license agreements or other commercial relationships with such entities, and potential conflicts among their heirs or estates regarding the management or disposition of their interests in the Company and related entities. Our inability to attract and retain qualified replacements for key personnel on a timely basis, or at all, could materially harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

 

59

 

 

We rely on non-employee consultants, advisors, research institutions and other third parties for important aspects of our research and development activities, and if these relationships are not successful or are disrupted, our business could be adversely affected.

 

We rely on and have relationships with scientific and clinical consultants at academic and other institutions, contract research organizations (“CROs”), and other advisors with expertise in clinical development, regulatory affairs, manufacturing and other matters. These consultants and third parties are not our employees and may have commitments to, or consulting or advisory arrangements with, other entities, including those that may compete with us, which could limit their availability to us. We have limited control over the activities of these third parties, and, except to the extent provided in our collaboration, consulting or services agreements, we can only expect limited amounts of their time to be dedicated to our programs. If these third parties do not perform their obligations in accordance with our expectations, the terms of our agreements or regulatory requirements, or if they prioritize competing engagements, the development of our product candidates may be delayed or otherwise adversely affected.

Pandemics, public health crises, geopolitical conflicts, natural disasters and other global disruptions could materially and adversely affect our business, including our ability to conduct preclinical studies and clinical trials, maintain our supply chain and manufacturing operations, raise capital and retain personnel.

Our business could be materially and adversely affected by pandemics, epidemics or other public health crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, or by geopolitical events, military conflicts, trade disputes, natural disasters, climate events, terrorist attacks, cyberattacks or other global disruptions. Such events could delay or prevent us from conducting preclinical studies or clinical trials, including by limiting the availability of clinical trial sites, investigators and patients, restricting travel or imposing quarantine requirements, disrupting healthcare systems and regulatory agency operations, or causing potential clinical trial participants to avoid or defer enrollment. Our reliance on third-party manufacturers, suppliers and logistics providers, many of which may be located outside the United States or in geographically concentrated regions, makes us vulnerable to supply chain disruptions that could delay or prevent the manufacture or shipment of our product candidates, raw materials, reagents, equipment or other critical supplies. Public health crises or global disruptions could also limit the availability or increase the cost of raw materials, shipping and logistics services, and could cause our manufacturing partners or suppliers to experience operational difficulties, labor shortages, financial distress or insolvency. In addition, such events could disrupt the operations of regulatory authorities, including FDA, which could delay our ability to obtain feedback on our development programs, submit regulatory filings, receive regulatory approvals or maintain compliance with regulatory requirements. Market volatility, economic downturns and disruptions in financial markets caused by global crises could impair our ability to raise capital on acceptable terms or at all and could increase our cost of capital. Restrictions on business operations, travel limitations, remote work requirements and social distancing measures could also adversely affect our ability to recruit and retain qualified personnel, maintain productivity and company culture, conduct business development activities and execute our strategic plans. We do not maintain business interruption insurance or other insurance coverage that would fully compensate us for losses resulting from such global disruptions. The extent to which any pandemic, geopolitical event or other global disruption impacts our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and difficult to predict.

Certain of our directors, officers and significant stockholders have interests in other businesses, including entities with which we have important relationships, which may create or appear to create conflicts of interest.

 

One or more of our directors, officers and/or significant stockholders, including, without limitation, Mr. Chiu, own and operate, and may continue to own and operate, other business enterprises that may from time to time compete or do business with us. These activities may create or appear to create conflicts of interest when such persons are faced with decisions that could have different implications for us and for the other entities with which they are affiliated, including PGB (our licensor for critical patent, proprietary know-how, trademark, and other intellectual property rights), PGG and Stem Med (which controls PGB). For example, Mr. Chiu’s control of entities that license intellectual property to us may create conflicts regarding the terms of such licenses, the prosecution and maintenance of licensed intellectual property, decisions regarding sublicensing or licensing to our competitors, and the allocation of business opportunities between the Company and such related entities. Our policies and procedures may not be sufficient to identify and prevent or mitigate all potential conflicts of interest, and the existence of these relationships could result in arrangements or transactions that are not on arm’s-length terms and that may not be favorable to us or our other stockholders. We have entered into, and expect to continue to enter into, material agreements with related parties, including the PGB Patent License, the PGB Trademark License, and agreements with service providers that may be affiliated with our directors or officers, and such agreements may contain terms that are less favorable to us than we could obtain from unaffiliated third parties.

 

We face cybersecurity and data privacy risks that could result in the compromise of confidential or proprietary information, regulatory enforcement actions, litigation, reputational harm and significant costs, any of which could adversely affect our business and operations.

 

In the ordinary course of our business, we collect, store, transmit and otherwise process proprietary, confidential and sensitive information, including intellectual property, trade secrets, preclinical and/or clinical trial data (if and when we conduct such trials), regulatory submissions and correspondence, information regarding our employees, collaborators, suppliers and other third parties, personal information and protected health information subject to privacy regulations, and business and financial information. We rely on information technology systems, networks, and third-party service providers to support our operations, including research and development activities, regulatory compliance, financial reporting, communications and other business functions. These systems and the information they contain are subject to cybersecurity threats, including but not limited to ransomware attacks, phishing attacks, denial-of-service attacks, malware, social engineering, employee or insider theft or misuse, human or technological error, and other security incidents. As a biotechnology company operating in an increasingly digital environment, we may be an attractive target for cyberattacks by hackers, foreign governments, competitors, disgruntled employees or other malicious actors seeking to obtain our proprietary information, disrupt our operations or damage our reputation. In addition, our reliance on third-party service providers, including contract manufacturers, CROs, cloud service providers, information technology vendors and other business partners, increases our exposure to cybersecurity risks, as we have limited control over the security practices of these third parties and could be adversely affected by security incidents affecting their systems. A significant cybersecurity incident could result in the theft, destruction, loss, unauthorized disclosure, corruption or unavailability of our confidential or proprietary information, which could harm our competitive position, delay our development programs, result in violation of our contractual obligations to licensors or other third parties, expose us to liability under data protection laws or other regulations, or require us to incur significant costs to investigate, remediate and notify affected parties. We are also subject to an evolving landscape of data privacy and security laws and regulations in the United States and internationally, including laws governing the collection, use, disclosure, retention and security of personal information and health information, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), state data breach notification laws, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other similar laws. Compliance with these laws is complex, costly and subject to changing interpretation, and any failure to comply could result in significant regulatory fines, enforcement actions, litigation, contractual damages and reputational harm. While we have implemented security measures designed to protect our information technology systems and data, these measures may not be sufficient to prevent or detect all security incidents, and we may not have adequate insurance coverage to compensate us for losses resulting from cybersecurity incidents or data privacy violations. Any significant cybersecurity incident or data privacy violation could materially harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation and prospects.

The regulatory framework for exosome-based cosmetic products is evolving, and regulators may determine that our Étrive skin solutions products are subject to additional or different regulatory requirements, which could increase our costs, delay commercialization or limit our ability to market these products.

 

We are developing and commercializing exosome-based cosmetic products under the “Étrive skin solutions” brand. We have not obtained regulatory approval or clearance from the FDA for these products because, based on our current understanding of applicable FDA requirements, products marketed solely for cosmetic purposes and without drug or therapeutic claims are generally not subject to FDA premarket approval requirements. However, the regulatory framework governing exosome-based products is evolving, and it is possible that FDA or other regulatory authorities could determine that some or all of our Étrive skin solutions products, or their marketing claims, fall within the definition of a drug, biologic or other regulated product category that requires pre-market approval, rather than a cosmetic, based on their composition, route of administration, intended use or other factors. If regulators were to make such a determination, we could be required to cease commercialization until we obtain the necessary regulatory approvals, seek additional regulatory approvals through costly and time-consuming processes, change product formulations, modify or limit our marketing claims, conduct additional testing or comply with other regulatory requirements applicable to drugs or biologics, any of which could be costly and time-consuming and could delay, limit or prevent our ability to commercialize these products. We could also be subject to enforcement actions, including warning letters, product seizures, injunctions, civil penalties or criminal prosecution. In addition, our advertising, labeling, social media and other promotional activities are subject to scrutiny by FDA, the Federal Trade Commission and other regulators, as well as competitors and consumers, and any determination that our marketing practices are improper or violate applicable laws could result in similar consequences.

 

Our commercialization of exosome-based cosmetic products under the Étrive skin solutions brand depends on third-party marketing, fulfillment and distribution arrangements, and if these relationships are not successful or are disrupted, our cosmetics business could be adversely affected.

 

We entered into a marketing support agreement and a fulfillment agreement with third party service providers to support the commercialization of our Étrive skin solutions exosome-based cosmetic products. Specifically, we entered into a Marketing and Support Service Agreement dated as of January 28, 2026 with Polite Society Enterprises Inc. (“Polite Society”) for the provision of sales and marketing support services, including facilitation of a Med SPA demonstration center and related activities, and a Fulfillment Center Service Agreement dated as of January 28, 2026 with JR Rapid Print Inc. (“JR Print”) for the provision of fulfillment center services, facility hosting, inventory storage and logistics support. Rita YuKa Wong, the spouse of our Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, Daniel Chiu, is a principal of both Polite Society and JR Print. We also anticipate entering into additional distributor or reseller agreements in various territories. Our ability to successfully commercialize Étrive skin solutions products depends, in part, on these third parties performing their obligations, including conducting effective marketing campaigns, maintaining adequate inventory, meeting fulfillment timelines and complying with applicable laws and regulations. If any of these third parties fails to perform as expected, experiences financial or operational difficulties, or terminates its agreement with us, we may not be able to find suitable alternatives on commercially reasonable terms or at all, which could delay or impair our ability to grow our cosmetics business. In addition, our reliance on distributors means that we may have limited visibility into end-user demand and may be exposed to credit or collection risks.

 

Problems with or adverse events related to our Étrive skin solutions cosmetic products could damage our reputation and negatively affect our therapeutic development business.

 

If consumers experience or perceive adverse reactions, quality issues or other problems with our Étrive skin solutions products, or if we are required to conduct a recall or corrective action, our reputation could be damaged, which could in turn adversely affect demand not only for our cosmetic products but also for any future therapeutic products we seek to develop and commercialize. Negative publicity regarding exosome-based products generally, whether or not attributable to us, could also harm our brand and reduce acceptance of our technologies.

 

62

 

 

The “Étrive” trademark and potentially other trademarks we use or intend to use in connection with our exosome-based cosmetic product lines have not been registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or in any foreign jurisdiction, and trademark applications for these marks may not have been filed.

 

We rely on PGB, an affiliate controlled by Stem Med, to own and license to us trademark rights in the Étrive mark and other marks under the PGB Trademark License. However, there can be no assurance that PGB will file trademark applications for the Étrive mark or other marks we use or intend to use, that any such applications will be allowed to proceed to registration, that PGB will obtain trademark registrations in the jurisdictions important to our business, or that any registrations, if obtained, will provide adequate protection against third-party use of confusingly similar marks. Without registered trademark rights, our ability to prevent third parties from using the Étrive name or confusingly similar names is significantly limited, and we may be unable to build strong brand recognition or may face increased competition or consumer confusion. In addition, third parties may have prior rights in the Étrive name or similar names that could prevent PGB from obtaining registrations or that could give rise to opposition or cancellation proceedings, infringement or unfair competition claims against us or PGB. If PGB is unable to obtain or maintain trademark protection for the Étrive mark, or if the PGB Trademark License is terminated, expires or is otherwise unavailable to us, we could be forced to rebrand our Étrive skin solutions product line, which would require us to discard existing packaging, labeling, marketing materials, inventory and other branded assets, incur significant costs to redesign and produce new materials, and invest substantial time and resources in building awareness and market acceptance of a new brand. Any such rebranding efforts could result in loss of customer recognition and goodwill, confusion in the marketplace, reduced sales, and material harm to our cosmetics business and our reputation.

 

We may incur costs and other adverse consequences arising from third-party litigation, subpoenas and allegations regarding confidential information, including in connection with the Sha v. DiaCarta litigation.

 

We are subject to risks arising from litigation involving third parties, including Sha v. DiaCarta, and from claims regarding confidential information and related subpoenas, which could result in additional costs, obligations, limitations on our use of information, litigation or other adverse outcomes.

 

We have been identified in connection with litigation styled Sha v. DiaCarta, which is pending in the Superior Court of California, County of Alameda. The plaintiff, Mr. Sha, previously served as Chief Technology Officer of DiaCarta, a precision medicine diagnostics company. He provided informal, unpaid advice to Stem Med regarding published academic biotechnology studies, including studies relating to stem cells. Following his separation from DiaCarta, he was subsequently employed by PGUS as Vice President of Molecular Biology and retired from PGUS in April 2026. PGUS is not a party to the litigation.

 

According to the allegations in the litigation, Mr. Sha has asserted claims against DiaCarta arising out of his former employment relationship with DiaCarta, including claims for failure to pay wages, waiting time penalties, unjust enrichment, unfair competition, breach of contract and fraud. After Mr. Sha filed his complaint against DiaCarta, PGUS received a letter dated September 25, 2024 on behalf of DiaCarta concerning Mr. Sha, alleged confidential information of DiaCarta and Mr. Sha’s relationship with PGUS. PGUS denies the allegations set forth in the letter and did not respond to the letter.

 

PGUS subsequently received a deposition subpoena in the Sha v. DiaCarta matter and, on or about December 2, 2024, produced certain documents in response to the subpoena. The documents produced included, among other things, communications between PGUS or its affiliates and Mr. Sha, as well as communications relating to published academic biotechnology research studies. On July 10, 2025, DiaCarta filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy in the United States Bankruptcy Court, and on July 11, 2025, a notice of bankruptcy and automatic stay was filed in the Sha v. DiaCarta litigation.

 

Although PGUS is not currently a party to the litigation and has not received any claim against it arising out of the matters described above, PGUS could be required to provide additional discovery, respond to further subpoenas or requests for information, or otherwise become more involved in the matter. Any such involvement could result in additional legal expenses, management distraction and other costs. In addition, if claims were asserted against PGUS or its affiliates arising out of the matters that are the subject of the litigation, PGUS could incur further defense costs and be subject to potential liability.

 

Certain of our executive officers and directors have outside business interests and affiliations that may create competing demands on their time and potential conflicts of interest.

 

Following the Business Combination, certain of our executive officers and directors are expected to continue to hold positions with other entities and businesses. For example, Daniel Chiu, who is expected to serve as our Chief Executive Officer and a director, is expected to continue serving as Chairman of PGG, the controlling stockholder of PGUS, as an officer and director of Stem Med, and as manager of PGB, which licenses intellectual property to PGUS. Although these entities currently have limited day-to-day operations and Mr. Chiu expects to devote a substantial portion of his business time to Pubco, he will continue to have responsibilities to these entities and may be required to allocate time among them. Dora E. Chan, who is expected to serve as a director of Pubco, is also employed by a public accounting firm and provides accounting services to that firm’s clients.

 

As a result of these outside positions and relationships, our executive officers and directors may face competing demands on their time and attention. In addition, actual or potential conflicts of interest may arise with respect to business opportunities, strategic transactions, financing arrangements, related-party transactions, intellectual property matters and other decisions involving Pubco and its affiliated entities. For example, Mr. Chiu’s positions with Stem Med and PGB may create situations in which the interests of those entities differ from the interests of Pubco or its stockholders. Although we expect to implement corporate governance policies and procedures designed to address conflicts of interest when they arise, such measures may not be effective in all circumstances. Any failure by management to devote sufficient time and attention to our business or any unresolved conflict of interest could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Risks Related to Compliance with Law, Government Regulation and Litigation

 

Our business is subject to extensive regulation by the FDA and other regulatory authorities, and failure to obtain or maintain required approvals could prevent or delay the development and commercialization of our product candidates.

 

Our research, development and potential commercialization activities are subject to extensive regulation by the U.S. FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities. These regulations govern, among other things, the design, conduct and monitoring of preclinical studies and clinical trials; the manufacturing, quality control and assurance of product candidates; product labeling, advertising and promotion; storage, distribution and import or export of biological materials; and post-approval monitoring and reporting obligations.

 

63

 

 

We have not received regulatory approval for any product candidate, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain regulatory approval for any product candidate on a timely basis or at all. Regulatory approval processes are lengthy, expensive, uncertain and subject to change, and may differ substantially based on the type, complexity and novelty of a product candidate. Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, or delays or setbacks in the regulatory review process, could result in clinical holds, rejection of regulatory submissions, refusal to approve product candidates, enforcement actions or the inability to advance our development programs, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and prospects. Our regulatory obligations also extend to third-party manufacturers, suppliers and service providers on whom we rely, and we remain responsible for ensuring that such third parties comply with applicable regulatory requirements.

 

The regulatory landscape for stem cell- and exosome-based therapies is evolving and uncertain, which may increase the time, cost and risk of developing our product candidates.

 

Stem cell- and exosome-based therapies are subject to heightened regulatory scrutiny, and the regulatory frameworks applicable to these technologies continue to evolve. Regulatory authorities may adopt new laws, regulations, guidance or interpretations that impose additional or different requirements on the development, manufacturing, testing or use of such therapies. These changes may be implemented with limited advance notice and may be applied inconsistently across jurisdictions or retroactively to ongoing development programs.

 

Because regulatory approaches to cell therapy and exosome-based products are still developing, we may face uncertainty regarding the appropriate regulatory classification of our product candidates, the scope of data required to support regulatory submissions, or the standards that regulators will apply in reviewing our development programs. Regulatory uncertainty could require us to modify development plans, conduct additional studies, redesign manufacturing processes or abandon certain programs, which could increase development costs, delay timelines or materially adversely affect our ability to bring product candidates to market.

 

Failure to comply with IND, clinical trial and manufacturing requirements could delay or prevent the development of our product candidates.

 

Before initiating clinical trials, we must submit an IND application to the FDA and obtain regulatory authorization. Regulatory authorities may require additional preclinical studies, modifications to proposed clinical trial protocols, or changes to our CMC processes before allowing clinical trials to commence or continue. Even after an IND becomes effective, regulatory authorities may impose clinical holds, request additional data or require protocol amendments that delay or disrupt development.

 

We expect to rely on third-party CDMOs and other collaborators for cell sourcing, processing, manufacturing and supply of our product candidates, as well as on other third parties for specialized technologies. We have limited experience overseeing third-party manufacturing at commercial scale, and our reliance on these third parties increases the risk that manufacturing or processing activities may not be performed in accordance with regulatory requirements, timelines or quality specifications. Any failure by our third-party manufacturers or service providers to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, or any disruption, delay or quality issue in third-party manufacturing or supply, could result in delays to our development programs, increased costs, regulatory enforcement actions or the inability to advance or commercialize our product candidates.

Compliance with applicable laws and regulations is costly and time-consuming and may divert management attention from our core business activities.

 

We are subject to a broad range of laws and regulations applicable to our operations, including those governing laboratory practices, data integrity, privacy and cybersecurity, environmental health and safety, employment and labor matters, export controls and sanctions, and anti-corruption and trade compliance. Compliance with these laws and regulations requires significant management attention, financial resources and operational oversight.

 

Our reliance on third-party manufacturers, CDMOs and other service providers further increases the complexity of our compliance efforts and may require additional coordination, monitoring and oversight. Changes in applicable laws or regulatory enforcement priorities may further increase compliance costs or require us to modify our business practices, systems or internal controls. These efforts may divert management’s time and attention away from our core development activities and could adversely affect our operational efficiency, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We may be subject to regulatory enforcement actions, investigations or litigation, which could result in significant penalties and harm our business and reputation.

 

Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations may result in regulatory enforcement actions by governmental authorities, including warning letters, fines, penalties, injunctions, clinical holds or other sanctions. In addition, we may become subject to civil litigation, including product liability claims, employment-related claims, intellectual property disputes or disputes with collaborators, vendors or service providers.

 

Regulatory investigations and litigation, regardless of merit, can be costly, time-consuming and disruptive to our operations, and may divert management attention away from our business. Adverse outcomes could result in monetary damages, reputational harm, restrictions on our activities or additional regulatory oversight, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and prospects.

 

Our current and future operations outside the United States may expose us to additional regulatory and compliance risks.

 

To the extent we conduct research, development, manufacturing or other activities outside the United States, or seek regulatory approvals in foreign jurisdictions, we will be subject to foreign laws and regulatory requirements that may differ significantly from those in the United States. These requirements may be more complex, less predictable or more burdensome, and may change frequently.

 

Compliance with foreign regulatory regimes may increase development costs, delay regulatory approvals or limit our ability to conduct activities in certain jurisdictions. Failure to comply with foreign laws and regulations could result in fines, penalties, delays, restrictions on our operations or the inability to conduct business internationally, which could adversely affect our business and prospects.

 

If we fail to adapt to changes in laws, regulations or regulatory expectations, our business could be adversely affected.

 

The laws, regulations and regulatory expectations applicable to our business are subject to change, including through new legislation, rulemaking, guidance, judicial decisions or shifts in enforcement priorities. We may not be able to anticipate or respond effectively to such changes on a timely basis.

 

Failure to adapt our operations, compliance programs, third-party oversight or development strategies to evolving regulatory requirements could result in increased costs, delays in our development programs or adverse regulatory actions. Any such failure could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

 

Information and documentation about our IMSR Plant design in the course of any design-specific licensing, certification, approval or similar process, or in the course of facility-specific licensing. There is a risk that regulators may require additional information regarding the IMSR Plant’s behavior or performance that necessitates additional, unplanned analytical and/or experimental work which could cause schedule delays and require more research and development funding.

 

65

 

 

We may become involved in litigation that may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

From time to time, we may become involved in various legal proceedings relating to matters incidental to the ordinary course of our business, including intellectual property, commercial, product liability, employment, class action, whistleblower and other litigation and claims, and governmental and other regulatory investigations and proceedings. Such matters can be time-consuming, divert management’s attention and resources from the operation of our business and cause us to incur significant expenses or liability or require us to change our business practices. Because of the potential risks, expenses and uncertainties of litigation, from time to time, we may settle disputes, even where we believe that we have meritorious claims or defenses. We are currently not a party to any material litigation. However, if any legitimate cause of action arose which was successfully prosecuted against us, the operations, results of operations or financial condition of the Company could be adversely affected. Because litigation is inherently unpredictable, we cannot assure you that the results of any of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

Risks Related to DTCS’s Business and the Business Combination

 

DTCS is a blank-check company with a limited operating history and no ongoing business other than identifying and effecting a business combination, and investors must rely on the ability of DTCS’s management and sponsors to identify, evaluate and complete a suitable transaction.

 

DTCS was formed solely to effect a business combination and, prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, has had no material operations other than those incidental to its formation, the IPO and the pursuit of a business combination. Because DTCS has no operating history upon which to base an evaluation of its prospects, an investment in DTCS’s securities involves significant risks, including the risk that DTCS will not be able to identify a suitable target, that management’s evaluation of potential targets will be incorrect or incomplete, or that DTCS will complete a business combination that does not achieve the anticipated strategic or financial objectives. The limited operating history and SPAC structure also mean that investors will not have the benefit of the type of independent, underwriter-led due diligence and market testing that typically accompanies a traditional underwritten initial public offering, and the disclosures made in connection with the Business Combination may not reveal all facts that would be material to an investment decision.

 

The amount of cash available to the Pubco at closing will depend on the balance of DTCS’s trust account and the number of public stockholders who elect to redeem, and substantial redemptions could materially reduce the Pubco’s available capital.

 

DTCS deposited the net proceeds of its IPO into a trust account for the benefit of its public stockholders. The cash available to the Pubco at closing will equal the Trust Account balance less amounts paid to redeeming public stockholders and less transaction expenses and permitted withdrawals. A significant number of redemptions by DTCS public stockholders will reduce the cash available at closing and could require the Pubco to obtain alternative financing on potentially unfavorable terms, renegotiate transaction terms, reduce planned capital expenditures or working capital. The uncertainty as to the amount of cash that will be available at closing may also make it more difficult for investors to evaluate the Pubco’s post-closing capital structure and prospects.

 

66

 

 

Funds held in the Trust Account may be subject to third-party claims or bankruptcy proceedings, which could reduce the per-share liquidation distribution or the cash available to the Pubco.

 

Although DTCS may obtain waivers from certain vendors and counterparties disclaiming any right, title or interest in the Trust Account, such waivers may not be enforceable in all circumstances and third parties may assert claims or liens against DTCS or the Trust Account. In addition, if DTCS were to become subject to bankruptcy proceedings, Trust Account funds could be included in the bankruptcy estate and subject to claims of creditors with priority over public stockholders. Any reduction of Trust Account funds by third-party claims or bankruptcy proceedings could reduce the per-share distribution to public stockholders upon liquidation or the cash available to the Pubco at closing, with adverse consequences for investors.

 

DTCS’s sponsors, initial stockholders and certain affiliated parties have interests that may differ from those of public stockholders and may influence the timing, structure and terms of the Business Combination.

 

DTCS’s sponsors and initial stockholders hold founder shares and other securities and have entered into support, lock-up, sponsor-backstop or other agreements in connection with the IPO and the Business Combination. These parties may have waived certain redemption rights or otherwise agreed to terms that align their incentives with completing a transaction, which could create conflicts of interest when determining whether to proceed with, amend or terminate the Business Combination. The interests of these parties may result in the selection of a target, the negotiation of transaction terms or the timing of closing in a manner that is not necessarily aligned with the interests of DTCS’s public stockholders.

 

DTCS or its sponsors may provide short-term financing, loans or promissory notes to fund transaction expenses or to extend the SPAC’s combination deadline, and such financings may dilute public stockholders or otherwise affect the Pubco’s capital structure.

 

To pay transaction expenses, to fund working capital or to extend the period to complete a business combination, DTCS or its sponsors may enter into financing arrangements, including sponsor loans, promissory notes or other short-term financings. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, DTCS has issued the following convertible promissory notes to the Sponsor: (i) on October 23, 2025, DTCS issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor in the principal amount of $75,000, in exchange for the Sponsor depositing such amount into the Trust Account to fund the first monthly extension of the Business Combination Period (the “Extension Expenses”); and (ii) subsequent loans in the aggregate principal amount of $600,000 for additional monthly extension deposits, with an aggregate principal amount outstanding as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus of $675,000. The promissory note referenced above does not bear interest, matures upon the closing of a business combination by DTCS, and may be converted by the Sponsor, at its election, into Private Units of DTCS at a price of $10.00 per unit. In addition, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, DTCS had a temporary payable of $1,301,143.59 to the Sponsor, consisting of management fees, extension fees and expenses paid on behalf of DTCS, which balance is unsecured, interest-free, and, except with respect to the Note, no fixed repayment terms and will be repaid in cash by Pubco on or after the Closing.

 

If the Sponsor elects to convert all or any portion of the outstanding convertible promissory note into Private Units at the closing of the Business Combination, additional shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock will be issued to the Sponsor, which will dilute the ownership interest of public stockholders in Pubco. Assuming conversion of the full principal amount of the convertible promissory note at $10.00 per unit, the Sponsor would receive approximately [●] additional Private Units (and, upon exercise or conversion of the securities included therein, shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock). This would increase the Sponsor’s ownership percentage and correspondingly decrease the ownership percentage of public stockholders. In a maximum redemption scenario, the dilutive effect of such conversion would be more pronounced because fewer public shares would remain outstanding following redemptions.

 

The issuance of additional shares to the Sponsor upon conversion of the convertible promissory note could have a material adverse effect on the market price of Pubco Class A Common Stock following the Business Combination. The market price of Pubco Class A Common Stock may decline as a result of such share issuances, or in anticipation of such share issuances, due to the increased supply of shares available for trading. Additionally, the Sponsor may sell some or all of its shares (subject to any applicable lock-up restrictions) following the closing, and such sales, or the perception that such sales may occur, could further depress the market price of Pubco Class A Common Stock. Investors should consider the potential dilutive and price impact of these conversions when evaluating whether to vote in favor of the Business Combination or redeem their shares.

 

Furthermore, DTCS may issue additional convertible promissory notes to the Sponsor prior to the closing of the Business Combination to fund additional monthly extension deposits or other expenses, which would increase the aggregate amount convertible into Private Units and further increase the potential dilution to public stockholders. The terms of such future financings, and the potential for conversion into equity securities, could materially alter Pubco’s capital structure and should be carefully reviewed by investors prior to voting on or investing in the Business Combination.

 

DTCS’s obligations to prepare and file the Registration Statement on Form S-4, to obtain Nasdaq listing approval and to deliver financial statements audited under PCAOB auditing standards for the Company are material to closing and any delay or adverse determination could prevent or delay the Business Combination.

 

The parties’ obligations to close the Business Combination are conditioned on, among other things, the effectiveness of the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (including the inclusion of financial statements audited under PCAOB auditing standards for the Company), clearance of SEC comments, and Nasdaq’s approval of the listing of the Pubco’s Class A Shares. Delays in preparing or clearing the Registration Statement, adverse SEC comments, inability to obtain financial statements audited under PCAOB auditing standards, or failure to satisfy Nasdaq’s initial listing standards could delay or prevent the Business Combination or the listing of the Pubco’s securities, which could materially and adversely affect the Pubco’s business, prospects and liquidity.

 

The representations, warranties and covenants in the Business Combination Agreement are qualified by disclosure schedules and were negotiated for contractual allocation of risk rather than to provide comprehensive factual disclosure to investors.

 

The representations and warranties made by DTCS and the Company in the Business Combination Agreement are subject to the exceptions and qualifications set forth in the disclosure schedules and are intended to allocate contractual risk between the parties. These contractual statements are not a substitute for the disclosures that would be made in a traditional IPO prospectus prepared after an independent underwriter’s due diligence, and facts may exist that are not reflected in the disclosure schedules or public filings. Post-closing indemnity claims, adjustments or the discovery of facts inconsistent with the representations and warranties could result in material liabilities, remediation obligations or other adverse consequences for the Pubco and its stockholders.

 

The DTCS Board did not obtain a third-party fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination.

 

The DTCS Board did not obtain a third-party fairness opinion in connection with its determination to approve the Business Combination. In analyzing the Business Combination, the Board and management of DTCS conducted due diligence on PGUS and researched the industry in which PGUS operates and concluded that the Business Combination was in the best interests of PGUS. Accordingly, investors will be relying solely on the judgment of the DTCS Board and the management of DTCS in valuing PGUS’s business, and the DTCS Board and management of DTCS may not have properly valued such business. The lack of a third-party fairness opinion may lead to an increased number of shareholders voting against the proposed Business Combination or demanding redemption of their shares for cash, which could potentially impact DTCS’s ability to consummate the Business Combination or adversely affect Pubco’s liquidity following the consummation of the Business Combination.

 

67

 

 

DTCS’s redemption mechanics and procedural requirements may limit some public stockholders’ ability to exercise redemption rights and could affect the number of shares redeemed.

 

DTCS will require public stockholders who wish to redeem to comply with specified procedures, which may include physical tender of certificates or electronic delivery through DTC’s DWAC system by specified deadlines. Operational delays by brokers, DTC, transfer agents or other intermediaries could prevent some stockholders from timely exercising redemption rights, which may affect the number of shares redeemed and, consequently, the cash available at closing. The mechanics, deadlines and irrevocability of redemption elections are set forth in DTCS’s proxy/registration materials and trust agreement and should be carefully reviewed by stockholders.

 

DTCS and the Pubco may be subject to litigation, regulatory inquiries or other disputes arising from the Business Combination or the disclosures made in connection with the Transactions, which could be costly and divert management attention.

 

Significant corporate transactions, including SPAC business combinations, frequently give rise to stockholder litigation, derivative claims, regulatory inquiries and other disputes. Even if such matters are without merit, defending or resolving them could require substantial legal and other costs, divert management’s attention from business operations and harm the Pubco’s reputation and financial condition. The risk of litigation or regulatory scrutiny is heightened where there are disputes over disclosures, valuation, due diligence or conflicts of interest involving sponsors, initial stockholders or advisors.

 

There is a risk that the 1% U.S. federal excise tax may be imposed on us in connection with redemptions of Public Shares.

 

Subject to certain exceptions, Section 4501 of the Code imposes a 1% excise tax on any publicly traded domestic corporation that repurchases its stock (the “Excise Tax”). Because we will be a Delaware corporation as a result of the Redomestication Merger, and because our securities may trade on Nasdaq, we expect to be a “covered corporation” within the meaning of Section 4501 of the Code. Thus, it is possible that we will be subject to the Excise Tax with respect to any subsequent redemptions, including redemptions in connection with the Business Combination that are treated as repurchases for this purpose. However, subject to certain exceptions, the Excise Tax should not apply in the event of our complete liquidation.

 

The Excise Tax is generally imposed on the fair market value of the repurchased stock. Further, issuances of shares by a repurchasing corporation in a year in which such corporation repurchases shares may reduce the amount of Excise Tax imposed with respect to such repurchase. The Excise Tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not the shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The imposition of the Excise Tax as a result of redemptions in connection with the Business Combination, if any, could reduce the amount of cash available to pay redemptions, which could cause the shareholders of the combined company to economically bear the impact of such Excise Tax. The extent of the Excise Tax that may be incurred will depend on a number of factors, including the fair market value of our shares redeemed, the extent to which such redemptions could be treated as dividends and not repurchases, and the interpretation of the final Treasury Regulations and other additional guidance from the U.S. Treasury that may be issued and applicable to the redemptions.

 

Although the final Treasury Regulations clarify certain aspects of the Excise Tax, the interpretation and operation of certain other aspects of the Excise Tax remain unclear. Moreover, because these regulations are subject to varying interpretations, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance becomes available. The application of the Excise Tax to our particular circumstances is complex and may be subject to uncertainty, and there cannot be any assurance that the Excise Tax will not apply to redemptions of our Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination.

 

DTCS faces risks associated with non-U.S. ownership, including PRC connections, which may result in regulatory uncertainty, enforcement challenges, and potential adverse effects on our business and the value of our securities.

 

The Sponsor is owned by non-U.S. persons. Specifically, Infinity-Star Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands company, holds approximately 20% of the Sponsor’s outstanding shares, and Jin Xin, a resident of PRC, holds approximately 80% of the Sponsor’s outstanding shares. In addition, most of DTCS’s executive officers and directors are located outside the United States, are nationals or residents of non-U.S. jurisdictions, and a substantial portion of their assets is located outside the United States.

 

As a result, investors may encounter difficulties in effecting service of process upon these persons within the United States or enforcing judgments obtained in U.S. courts against them. The recognition and enforcement of U.S. court judgments in foreign jurisdictions, including the PRC, the British Virgin Islands, and other relevant jurisdictions, may be subject to significant legal and practical limitations, which could impair investors’ ability to seek remedies.

 

Although DTCS is not a China-based operating company, our Sponsor’s ownership by a PRC resident may subject us to risks associated with companies that have connections to the PRC. The PRC government has broad authority to regulate or intervene in the activities of entities and individuals with ties to China, and such intervention may occur at any time, with little or no advance notice. Changes in PRC laws and regulations could impose additional compliance requirements, restrictions, or obligations on DTCS or parties associated with it, which may adversely affect its operations, its ability to consummate a business combination, or the value of its securities.

 

Furthermore, to the extent that funds are held in or subject to jurisdictions with foreign exchange controls, including the PRC, there may be restrictions on DTCS’s ability to transfer funds across borders or to distribute earnings. Any such limitations could adversely affect DTCS’s liquidity, financial condition, and ability to deploy capital effectively.

 

68

 

 

Risks Related to the Pubco Class A Common Stock

 

Because PGUS will become a public reporting company by means other than a traditional underwritten initial public offering, the Pubco’s stockholders may face additional risks and uncertainties.

 

PGUS 1 become a public reporting company, through Pubco, as a result of the Business Combination between DTCS and PGUS rather than through a traditional underwritten initial public offering. As a result, there will be no independent underwriter performing the type of third-party due diligence, market testing and distribution typically associated with an IPO. Although DTCS and PGUS have conducted due diligence and have engaged advisors in connection with the Business Combination, the absence of an underwriter-led offering process increases the risk that material information relevant to an investment decision may not have been uncovered or fully vetted prior to closing.

 

The market price of the Pubco Class A Common Stock is likely to be highly volatile, and you may lose some or all of your investment.

 

Following the Business Combination, the market price of the Pubco Class A Common Stock may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of factors, including, without limitation, the Pubco’s operating results and financial condition, the timing and success of commercialization of PGUS’s products, the level of redemptions by DTCS public stockholders, announcements of new products or services by the Pubco or its competitors, changes in applicable laws or regulations, the outcome of FDA approvals, general economic and market conditions, and investor perception of the Pubco’s prospects. Broad market or industry factors, including volatility in the market for SPAC-related securities, may also adversely affect the market price of the Pubco Class A Common Stock, regardless of the Pubco’s operating performance.

 

Volatility in the Pubco’s share price could subject the Pubco to securities litigation.

 

Historically, companies that experience significant volatility or declines in their stock price have faced securities class action litigation. Any such litigation or regulatory inquiry involving the Pubco could result in substantial defense costs, settlements or judgments, divert management’s attention and resources and harm the Pubco’s reputation and financial condition, whether or not the claims have merit.

 

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about the Pubco, or publish negative reports, the Pubco’s stock price and trading volume could decline.

 

The trading market for the Pubco Class A Common Stock will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about the Pubco. The Pubco will have no control over analysts’ decisions to initiate or discontinue coverage or to change their estimates or ratings. A lack of analyst coverage or negative analyst reports could reduce investor awareness and interest, impair the development of a liquid trading market for the Pubco Class A Common Stock and increase price volatility.

 

69

 

 

Because the Pubco does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, capital appreciation, if any, would be your sole source of gain.

 

The Pubco currently expects to retain any future earnings to fund operations, research and development, capital expenditures and debt service, and does not anticipate declaring or paying cash dividends on its Pubco Class A Common Stock for the foreseeable future. Investors seeking current income should not purchase the Pubco Class A Common Stock and should instead expect to rely on potential stock price appreciation, if any, for a return on their investment.

 

Future sales of the Pubco Class A Common Stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, may depress the market price of the Pubco Class A Common Stock.

 

Sales of a substantial number of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock in the public market after the closing of the Business Combination, or the perception that such sales might occur, could depress the market price of the Pubco Class A Common Stock and could impair the Pubco’s ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. In addition, the expiration or termination of lock-up agreements, the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, the issuance of earn-out or contingent shares, or the registration of shares pursuant to registration rights agreements could increase the supply of shares available for sale and place downward pressure on the market price of the Pubco Class A Common Stock.

 

The Pubco’s public float and the concentration of ownership following the Business Combination may limit liquidity and make the market price more volatile.

 

Following the Business Combination, a significant portion of the Pubco’s outstanding shares will be held by former holders of PGUS equity, DTCS’s Sponsor, PIPE investors (if any) and other large stockholders who may be subject to lock-ups or otherwise not actively trade their shares. A relatively small public float or concentrated ownership could reduce the number of shares available for public trading, which may increase price volatility and make it difficult for investors to buy or sell shares at desired prices. When restricted shares become eligible for sale, the market could experience additional downward pressure on the stock price.

 

Holders of Pubco Class A Common Stock may experience immediate and substantial dilution.

 

The Business Combination contemplates the issuance of the Merger Consideration and Non-Redemption Warrants, the exchange of options and warrants, and the potential issuance of shares in connection with a potential PIPE or other financing arrangements. The number of shares issued in connection with the Business Combination and any subsequent financings will affect the Pubco’s capitalization and may substantially dilute the ownership interests of existing DTCS public stockholders. The extent of dilution will depend on variable factors, including the number of DTCS public stockholders who elect to redeem and the amount of any PIPE Financing.

 

Upon completion of the Business Combination, the market price for the Pubco’s securities may be affected by factors different from those that historically have affected DTCS.

 

Upon completion of the Business Combination, the results of operations of the Pubco will be affected by some factors that are different from those currently affecting the results of operations of DTCS. DTCS is a special purpose acquisition company incorporated in the Cayman Islands that is not engaged in any operating activity, directly or indirectly. The Pubco, after the consummation of the Business Combination,. The Pubco’s business and results of operations after the consummation of the Business Combination will be affected by regional, country, and industry risks and operating risks to which DTCS prior to the Business Combination was not exposed. For a discussion of the business that is currently conducted and proposed to be conducted by the Pubco, see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Business and Certain Information of PGUS” and “Business and Certain Information about DTCS.”

 

70

 

 

DTCS’s redemption mechanics and procedural requirements may limit some public stockholders’ ability to exercise redemption rights and could affect the cash available at closing.

 

DTCS will require public stockholders who wish to redeem to comply with specified procedures and deadlines (which may include physical tender of certificates or electronic delivery through DTC’s DWAC system). Operational delays by brokers, DTC, transfer agents or other intermediaries could prevent some stockholders from timely exercising redemption rights, which may affect the number of shares redeemed and, consequently, the cash available to the Pubco at closing. The irrevocability and timing of redemption elections are set forth in DTCS’s proxy/registration materials and trust agreement and should be carefully reviewed by stockholders.

 

Operating as a public company will increase costs and require significant management time and attention, which could adversely affect the Pubco’s business.

 

Following the Business Combination, the Pubco will be subject to public company reporting obligations, corporate governance requirements and compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Nasdaq rules. These obligations will increase legal, accounting and other expenses and will require management to devote substantial time to compliance, investor relations and governance matters, which could divert attention from the Pubco’s business operations. The Pubco may also face increased difficulty and cost in obtaining directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and in attracting and retaining qualified board members and executives.

 

The Pubco’s management may have limited experience operating a public company, which could impair its ability to manage public company obligations.

 

Members of the Pubco’s management team may have limited experience managing a publicly traded company, interacting with public company investors and complying with the complex laws, rules and regulations applicable to public companies. If management is unable to effectively manage the Pubco’s public company obligations, the Pubco could experience reporting delays, internal control deficiencies, regulatory scrutiny and reputational harm, any of which could adversely affect the market price of the Pubco Class A Common Stock and the Pubco’s ability to access the public capital markets.

 

Failure to maintain effective disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting could result in material misstatements, regulatory sanctions and loss of investor confidence.

 

The Pubco will be required to maintain disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. The process of documenting, testing and, if necessary, remediating internal controls is time-consuming and costly. If the Pubco identifies one or more material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting or fails to remediate existing deficiencies, it could be required to restate its financial statements, could be subject to regulatory enforcement actions and could suffer a loss of investor confidence that could materially and adversely affect the market price of the Pubco Class A Common Stock.

 

Forward-looking statements, projections and estimates included in disclosure materials are subject to risks and uncertainties and actual results may differ materially.

 

Any projections, forecasts or forward-looking statements included in the Registration Statement, proxy materials or other disclosure documents are based on assumptions and estimates that may prove to be incorrect. Actual results could differ materially from those projected due to a variety of factors, including those described in these risk factors and elsewhere in the Registration Statement. Investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in this document.

Risks Related to the Pubco Operating as a Public Company

 

Our management team may have limited experience operating a public company, which could impair our ability to satisfy public-company obligations.

 

Most members of the Pubco’s management team have limited experience managing a publicly traded company, interacting with public-company investors and complying with the complex laws, rules and regulations applicable to public companies. As a result, the Pubco may encounter difficulties in implementing the policies, procedures and internal controls necessary to meet its reporting, disclosure and governance obligations. The time and attention required to address these obligations could divert management’s focus from day-to-day business operations and strategic initiatives, which could adversely affect the Pubco’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Operating as a public company will increase our costs and require significant management time and resources.

 

Following the closing of the Business Combination, the Pubco will incur additional legal, accounting, investor relations and other expenses that it did not incur as a private company. Compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Nasdaq listing standards and other applicable securities laws and regulations will require the Pubco to implement and maintain enhanced disclosure controls, internal controls over financial reporting and corporate governance practices. These obligations are likely to increase the Pubco’s operating costs materially and may require the hiring of additional personnel and the retention of outside advisors, consultants and auditors, any of which could adversely affect operating results and cash flows.

 

We will be required to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and to comply with Section 404, and failure to do so could harm investor confidence and the market price of our Pubco Class A Common Stock.

 

The Pubco will be required to comply with the SEC’s rules implementing Sections 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which require management to assess and report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and, depending on the Pubco’s status, may require an attestation report from the independent registered public accounting firm. Documenting, testing and, if necessary, remediating internal control deficiencies is costly and time-consuming. If the Pubco identifies one or more material weaknesses or otherwise fails to achieve or maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, it could be required to restate its financial statements, could be subject to regulatory enforcement actions and could suffer a loss of investor confidence that could materially and adversely affect the market price of the Pubco Class A Common Stock.

 

The Pubco may have difficulty attracting and retaining qualified personnel and independent directors necessary for public-company governance.

 

The Pubco may face increased difficulty and expense in attracting and retaining qualified independent directors, audit committee members and senior executives with public-company experience. The inability to recruit and retain qualified personnel could impair the Pubco’s ability to establish and maintain effective governance, internal controls and compliance programs, which could in turn adversely affect its financial reporting and regulatory compliance and harm investor confidence and the market price of the Pubco Class A Common Stock.

 

Obtaining and maintaining adequate directors’ and officers’ liability insurance may be more difficult and costly after the Business Combination.

 

Following the Business Combination, the Pubco may find it more difficult and expensive to obtain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance on acceptable terms, or at all. Higher insurance costs or reduced coverage could expose the Pubco and its directors and officers to greater uninsured liabilities, which could adversely affect the Pubco’s ability to attract and retain qualified directors and officers and could increase the Pubco’s exposure to litigation risk.

 

72

 

 

The Pubco’s stock price may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations, which could result in securities litigation.

 

The market price of the Pubco Class A Common Stock may be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in response to factors such as quarterly or annual variations in operating results, announcements of new products or services, changes in regulatory or competitive conditions, the timing and success of commercialization of PGUS’s products, the level of redemptions by SPAC public stockholders, and general market conditions. Significant volatility or declines in the market price of the Pubco Class A Common Stock could result in securities class action litigation, which could be costly to defend and could divert management’s attention and resources.

 

Limited analyst coverage and investor awareness could adversely affect the market for our Pubco Class A Common Stock.

 

Because the Pubco will become a public reporting company through a business combination rather than a traditional underwritten IPO, securities analysts and the financial media may provide limited or no coverage of the Pubco. A lack of analyst coverage or negative analyst reports could reduce investor awareness and interest, impair the development of a liquid trading market for the Pubco Class A Common Stock and increase price volatility. The Pubco will have no control over analysts’ decisions to initiate or discontinue coverage or to change their estimates or ratings.

 

Failure to satisfy Nasdaq initial or continued listing standards could result in delisting of our securities.

 

The Pubco’s securities will be subject to Nasdaq’s initial and ongoing listing requirements, including minimum bid price, market capitalization, public float and timely filing of periodic reports. If the Pubco fails to meet Nasdaq’s listing standards, Nasdaq could delist the Pubco’s securities, which would likely reduce the liquidity and marketability of the Pubco Class A Common Stock and could materially impair the Pubco’s ability to raise capital and attract and retain employees and business partners.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, as a closing condition, (subject to certain exceptions), DTCS is required to cause the Pubco Class A Common Stock issued in connection with the Business Combination to be approved for listing on Nasdaq, but there can be no assurance that such listing condition will be met. If such listing condition is not met, the Business Combination will not be consummated unless the listing condition is waived by the parties to the Business Combination Agreement. The parties currently do not intend to waive the listing condition if Pubco’s Nasdaq listing application is not approved. In the event that the Nasdaq application is not approved and the parties do mutually agree to waive this condition, no recirculation or resolicitation of DTCS shareholders will occur prior to the extraordinary general meeting. It is important for you to know that, at the time of our extraordinary general meeting, we may not have received from Nasdaq either confirmation of the issuance and listing of the Pubco Class A Common Stock or that approval will be obtained prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, and it is possible that the listing condition to the consummation of the Business Combination may be waived by the parties to the Business Combination Agreement. As a result, you may be asked to vote to approve the Business Combination and the other proposals included in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus without such confirmation, and, further, it is possible that such confirmation may never be received and the Business Combination could still be consummated if such condition is waived or is subject to an exception and therefore the Pubco securities would not be listed on any nationally recognized securities exchange.

 

If Pubco’s listing application is not approved by Nasdaq, DTCS expects that the Pubco Class A Shares could be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, Pubco could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

 

  ● appearing to be less attractive to investors in biotech companies;
  ● a limited availability of market quotations for its securities;
  ● reduced liquidity for its securities;
  ● a determination that the Pubco Class A Shares are a “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in Pubco Class A 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.

 

In addition, if Pubco Class A Shares are not approved for listing on Nasdaq, offers and sales thereof may be subject to additional compliance costs.

 

If the parties to the Business Combination Agreement waive the listing condition, Pubco Class A Common Stock will not be listed on Nasdaq or any other national securities exchange, which would significantly reduce the liquidity of your investment and could materially adversely affect your ability to sell your shares.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, Nasdaq listing approval is a closing condition that may be waived by the parties. If the Nasdaq listing application is not approved and the parties mutually agree to waive this condition, the Business Combination could still be consummated without Pubco Class A Common Stock being listed on Nasdaq or any other national securities exchange. In such event, Pubco Class A Common Stock would likely be quoted on an over-the-counter market, such as the OTCQX, OTCQB or OTC Pink markets operated by OTC Markets Group Inc., or may not be quoted or traded on any market at all.

If Pubco Class A Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, investors may experience significantly reduced liquidity for their investment. Over-the-counter markets are substantially less liquid than national securities exchanges such as Nasdaq. Trading on an over-the-counter market is typically characterized by lower trading volumes, wider bid-ask spreads, less market visibility and longer settlement times. As a result, you may not be able to sell your shares at a price that is attractive to you, or at all, and you may experience significant delays in executing trades. Even if an over-the-counter market quotation is available, there is no assurance that an active trading market will develop or be sustained, and the market price of Pubco Class A Common Stock could be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations.

 

In addition, if Pubco Class A Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, many institutional investors, mutual funds and other investment vehicles have policies that prohibit them from investing in securities that are not listed on a national securities exchange. This could substantially limit the demand for Pubco Class A Common Stock and depress its market price. Furthermore, securities not listed on a national securities exchange may be subject to less analyst coverage and media attention, which could further reduce investor interest and trading liquidity.

 

If Pubco Class A Common Stock is quoted on an over-the-counter market rather than listed on a national securities exchange, Pubco’s ability to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities would be materially impaired. Over-the-counter traded securities are generally less attractive to underwriters and investors, and the terms of any future financing may be less favorable than if Pubco Class A Common Stock were listed on Nasdaq. This could limit Pubco’s ability to fund its operations, pursue strategic opportunities and grow its business. In addition, the inability to list Pubco Class A Common Stock on Nasdaq may negatively affect Pubco’s reputation and make it more difficult to attract and retain employees, directors and business partners who may view an over-the-counter quotation as less prestigious than a national securities exchange listing.

 

If you hold Pubco Class A Common Stock following a waiver of the listing condition, your investment may be significantly less liquid than an investment in securities listed on a national securities exchange. You may be required to hold your shares for an indefinite period of time and may not be able to sell your shares at the time you desire or at a price that reflects the underlying value of Pubco’s business. The lack of exchange listing could also result in Pubco Class A Common Stock being subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules if the stock trades below $5.00 per share and certain other criteria are met, which would impose additional disclosure requirements on broker-dealers and could further reduce liquidity and investor interest in Pubco Class A Common Stock.

 

There will be material differences between your current rights as a holder of Pubco Public Shares prior to and after the Business Combination.

 

DTCS is currently incorporated as an exempted Cayman Islands company. Upon completion of the Business Combination, the Pubco will be a Delaware corporation existing under the DGCL. There will be material differences between the current rights of DTCS’s shareholders and the rights you will have as a holder of shares of a Delaware corporation. For a more detailed discussion of the differences in the rights of DTCS’s shareholders prior to and after the Business Combination, see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Comparison of Shareholder Rights.”

 

The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed By-Laws of the Pubco following the Business Combination contain certain provisions, including anti-takeover provisions that limit the ability of shareholders to take certain actions and could delay or discourage takeover attempts that shareholders may consider favorable.

 

The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed By-Laws of the Pubco that will be in effect upon consummation of the Business Combination contain provisions, including advance notice provisions, that could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying, or preventing an acquisition that shareholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which shareholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for the Pubco’s securities, and therefore depress the trading price of Pubco Class A Common Stock. These provisions could also make it difficult for shareholders to take certain actions, including electing directors who are not nominated by the Pubco or taking other corporate actions, including effecting changes in the Pubco’s management following the Business Combination. See “Description of Pubco Class A Common Stock After the Business Combination.” These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile takeovers and changes in control or changes in the Pubco’s board of directors or management.

 

The Proposed Organizational Documents designate the federal district courts of the United States of America as the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act, which may limit investors’ ability to choose their preferred judicial forum for Securities Act claims.

 

The Proposed Organizational Documents provide that the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Accordingly, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce this federal forum provision. Additionally, investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. This federal forum provision may limit investors’ ability to bring a claim arising under the Securities Act in a judicial forum that they find favorable, and may increase the costs associated with bringing such a claim, which may discourage claims from being brought. If a court were to find this federal forum provision to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

74

 

 

If DTCS or the Pubco is characterized as a passive foreign investment company (a “PFIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, U.S. Holders may experience adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences.

 

A non-U.S. corporation generally will be treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in any taxable year if either (1) at least 75% of its gross income for such year is passive income or (2) at least 50% of the value of its assets (generally based on an average of the quarterly values of the assets) during such year is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. Based upon the composition of its income and assets, DTCS may be considered a PFIC for its current taxable year that will end as a result of the Redomestication Merger. The determination of whether DTCS will be treated as a PFIC for the taxable year that includes the Redomestication Merger will depend on a number of factors, including the timing of the Redomestication Merger and the amount of cash held by DTCS and its subsidiaries at the time of the Redomestication Merger, among others. Accordingly, there can be no assurances in this regard or any assurances that DTCS will not be treated as a PFIC in the taxable year that includes the Redomestication Merger or any other taxable year. Moreover, the application of the PFIC rules is subject to uncertainty in several respects, and there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) will not take a contrary position or that a court will not sustain such a challenge by the IRS.

 

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, whether Pubco or any of its subsidiaries are a PFIC for any taxable year is a factual determination that depends on, among other things, the composition of its income and assets, and the market value of its securities. Changes in the composition of Pubco’s income or the composition of its assets, or fluctuations in its market capitalization may cause it to be classified as a PFIC for the current or subsequent taxable years. Whether Pubco is treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes is a factual determination that must be made annually at the close of each taxable year and, thus, is subject to significant uncertainty.

 

If DTCS or Pubco is a PFIC for any taxable year, a U.S. Holder of its securities may be subject to adverse tax consequences and may incur certain information reporting obligations. For a further discussion, see “Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for Holders of DTCS Securities and Pubco Securities — A. Tax Effects of the Redomestication Merger to U.S. Holders — 5. PFIC Considerations.” U.S. Holders of DTCS securities or Pubco securities are strongly encouraged to consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of these rules.

 

Upon completion of the Business Combination, the Pubco may raise substantial additional funding to support its business development.

 

Upon completion of the Business Combination, given the likelihood of high redemption in connection with the Business Combination, the Pubco may need substantial additional funding to support its business development. This need for capital is expected to persist and potentially increase following the proposed business combination, as the Pubco will assume and continue the Company’s business activities. In particular, the Pubco anticipates that its expenses will rise significantly in connection with ongoing and future activities, including advancing its provisions of autonomous marine technology, with specialization in developing and integrating AI-powered systems for marine operations. As a result, it is likely that the Pubco will need to raise substantial additional capital through a variety of potential sources, such as public or private equity offerings, debt financings, strategic collaborations, licensing agreements, or other funding arrangements. However, there can be no assurance that such funding will be available when needed or on terms acceptable to the Pubco. If the Pubco is unable to secure adequate financing on favorable terms, or at all, it may be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate its business development, including its research and development activities. These funding shortfalls could materially and adversely affect the Pubco’s business prospects, financial condition, and ability to achieve long-term growth.

 

Compliance with public-company reporting and disclosure obligations may expose the Pubco to regulatory scrutiny and enforcement risk.

 

As a public company, the Pubco will be subject to ongoing reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and to review and oversight by the SEC and other regulatory authorities. Failure to comply with applicable reporting, disclosure or other regulatory requirements could result in investigations, enforcement actions, fines, penalties or other sanctions, any of which could harm the Pubco’s reputation, financial condition and stock price.

 

75

 

 

The Pubco may be an emerging growth company and may rely on exemptions that could make its Pubco Class A Common Stock less attractive to some investors.

 

If the Pubco qualifies as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, it may take advantage of reduced disclosure and reporting requirements for a limited period, including exemptions from certain auditor attestation requirements and reduced executive compensation disclosures. Reliance on such exemptions could result in less information being available to investors compared to other public companies, which may make the Pubco Class A Common Stock less attractive to some investors and could reduce trading liquidity or increase volatility. The Pubco’s status as an emerging growth company will depend on objective criteria and may change over time; the Pubco may also qualify as a “smaller reporting company” and continue to rely on certain reduced disclosure requirements even after it ceases to be an emerging growth company.

 

Preparing and responding to public-company investor relations and governance expectations will require significant management attention.

 

The Pubco will be required to prepare and file periodic reports, hold annual meetings and comply with investor relations expectations, including responding to shareholder proposals and engaging with institutional investors and proxy advisory firms. These activities will require substantial management time and resources and may divert attention from operational matters. Failure to manage investor relations effectively could harm the Pubco’s reputation and the market price of its Pubco Class A Common Stock.

 

Risks Related to the SPAC and the Business Combination

 

If DTCS is unable to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s Market Value of Listed Securities and Publicly Held Shares requirements within the applicable cure periods, DTCS’s securities could be delisted from Nasdaq.

 

DTCS can give no assurance that it will be able to satisfy the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, including the MVLS Requirement and the Public Shares Requirement (as defined below).

 

On January 15, 2026, DTCS received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of Nasdaq notifying us that the minimum Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) had been for the last 30 consecutive business days below the minimum $50 million requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) (the “MVLS Requirement”). The applicable Nasdaq rules provided 180 calendar days for us to regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement by closing at $50 million or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days.

 

On April 6, 2026, DTCS received a deficiency letter from the Staff of Nasdaq, notifying us that the number of public shareholders was below the minimum 400 total holders requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2) (the “Public Holders Requirement”). On May 29, 2026, Nasdaq granted DTCS’s request for an extension until October 5, 2026 to regain compliance with this requirement.

 

On July 15, 2026, DTCS received a letter (the “Delist Determination Letter”) from the Staff stating that the Staff had determined to delist DTCS’s securities due to DTCS’s failure to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule. Accordingly, its securities will be delisted from The Nasdaq Global Market. In that regard, unless DTCS requested an appeal of this determination by July 22, 2026, trading of DTCS’s securities would be suspended at the opening of business on July 24, 2026. DTCS timely submitted its hearing request, which stayed the suspension.

 

On July 27, 2026, DTCS received notice that Nasdaq approved the transfer of the listing of DTCS’s ordinary shares, units and rights from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market, effective at the opening of trading on July 29, 2026. As a result, DTCS regained compliance with the applicable Nasdaq listing requirements. DTCS’s securities continue to trade under the symbols “DTSQ,” “DTSQU” and “DTSQR,” respectively.

 

If DTCS is delisted from Nasdaq, DTCS expects its securities could be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, DTCS could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

 

  ● appearing to be less attractive to potential target companies than an exchange listed SPAC;
  ● a limited availability of market quotations for its securities;
  ● reduced liquidity for its securities;
  ● a determination that DTCS securities are a “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in DTCS’s securities 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.

 

There can be no assurance that DTCS will not receive further Nasdaq deficiency letter in the future. In addition, if DTCS’s securities are delisted from Nasdaq, offers and sales of its securities may be subject to additional compliance costs.

 

If DTCS is delisted from Nasdaq due to its failure to regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement or the Public Holders Requirement (or for any other reason), DTCS would not be able to rely on either the NTA Rule or the Exchange Rule to avoid classification as a “penny stock” issuer.

 

If DTCS’s securities are classified as “penny stock,” broker-dealers would be required to comply with more stringent disclosure and procedural requirements when recommending or effecting transactions in DTCS’s securities, including delivering to customers a risk disclosure document prior to effecting a transaction, obtaining a signed and dated acknowledgment of receipt of such disclosure, obtaining financial information and investment objectives from the customer, and making a suitability determination. These additional requirements could discourage broker-dealers from recommending or effecting transactions in DTCS’s securities, which could further reduce trading activity, liquidity and market interest in DTCS’s securities. Accordingly, if DTCS is delisted from Nasdaq and its Trust Account balance falls below $5,000,001, DTCS’s securities could become subject to the penny stock rules, which would have a material adverse effect on the market for DTCS’s securities and the ability of DTCS to raise capital.

 

The existing deficiency notices received by DTCS from Nasdaq on January 15, 2026 (regarding the MVLS Requirement) and April 6, 2026 (regarding the Public Holders Requirement) and the delisting letter received by DTCS from Nasdaq on July 15, 2026, combined with the potential for the Trust Account balance to fall below $5,000,001 due to redemptions and other factors, create heightened risk that DTCS could lose its Nasdaq listing and simultaneously fail to satisfy the NTA Requirement. Significant redemptions by public shareholders in connection with the Business Combination, or prior to the Business Combination if additional extension periods are required, could cause the Trust Account balance to decline substantially, potentially below the $5,000,001 threshold required under the NTA Requirement.

 

The Sponsor and SPAC’s directors and officers have interests that are different from, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), the interests of its shareholders, and therefore potential conflicts of interest exist in recommending that shareholders vote in favor of the Business Combination. Such conflicts of interests include that the Sponsor as well as SPAC’s directors and officers are expected to lose their entire investment in SPAC if the Business Combination is not completed.

 

When considering the DTCS Board’s recommendation to vote in favor of approving the Business Combination proposal and other proposal described herein, the DTCS’s shareholders should keep in mind that the Sponsor and the DTCS’s directors and officers have interests in such Proposals that are different from, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), those of the DTCS shareholders generally.

 

These interests include, among other things:

 

  ● the fact that immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination, the Initial Shareholders, other than A.G.P., are expected to hold 1,931,900 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock, consisting of (i) 1,725,000 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock to be converted from DTCS Ordinary Shares held by the Sponsor on a one-on-one basis, (ii) 206,900 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock underlying the DTCS Private Units held by the Sponsor; and (iii) [__] shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock to be converted from DTCS Rights underlying the DTCS Private Units held by the Sponsor, which in the aggregate, would be approximately [●]% and [●]% ownership interest in Pubco following the consummation of the Business Combination under the no redemption scenario and the maximum redemption scenario, respectively, on an as converted basis.

 

  ● the fact that the Sponsor acquired 206,900 DTCS Private Units at $10.00 per private unit through the private placement simultaneously with the closing of the IPO on July 26, 2024.

 

  ● the fact that the Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.014 per share, for 1,725,000 Founder Shares prior to the DTCS IPO, which will be convert on a one-for-one basis, into the same number of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock at the Acquisition Merger Effective Time pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. All of the Founder Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions and could have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination, which if unrestricted and freely tradable would be valued at approximately $[●] million, based on the most recent closing price of DTCS Ordinary Shares of $[●] per share on [●], 2026.

 

76

 

 

  ● the fact that if the Business Combination or another business combination is not consummated by October 26, 2026, DTCS will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of outstanding DTCS Ordinary Shares for cash and, subject to the approval of DTCS’s remaining shareholders and DTCS board, liquidating and dissolving; provided, however, that (i) DTCS and PGUS may mutually agree to extend the Outside Date by an additional three months to January 26, 2027 and (ii) DTCS may extend its deadline to consummate a business combination beyond October 26, 2026 at a duly called meeting of the DTCS shareholders, in accordance with the Existing Articles. In such event, the Founder Shares and DTCS’s ordinary shares included in DTCS Private Units held by the Sponsor would be worthless because SPAC’s Initial Shareholders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares.

 

  ● the fact that the Sponsor and officers and directors of DTCS have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any Founder Shares and private shares included in the DTCS Private Units held by them if the DTCS fails to complete an initial business combination by October 16, 2026.

 

  ● the fact that if the DTCS liquidates the trust account prior to the consummation of a business combination, it will be liable to pay debts and obligations to target businesses or vendors or other entities that are owed money by the DTCS for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to us in excess of the net proceeds of the DTCS IPO not held in the trust account, but only to the extent necessary to ensure that such debts or obligations do not reduce the amounts in the trust account and only if such parties have not executed a waiver agreement.

 

  ● the fact that the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the DTCS’s officers and directors may provide non-interest bearing loans to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination and the Sponsor may provide non-interest bearing loans to extend the time period for consummating our initial business combination, the terms of which have not been determined nor have any written agreements been executed with respect thereto. On October 23, 2025, DTCS issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor in the principal amount of up to $75,000 for the extension fee deposited into the trust account.
     
   

the fact that on each of November 28, 2025 and January 6, 2026, DTCS deposited $75,000 into the Trust Account for monthly extensions. On March 16, 2026, DTCS deposited an additional $150,000 into the Trust Account representing monthly extension payments through March 2026. A payment in the amount of $225,000 was deposited into the Trust Account on July 10, 2026; and a payment in the amount of $75,000 was deposited into the Trust Account on July 14, 2026.

 

These amounts are to be repaid at or after the Closing by Pubco out of available cash. No promissory notes were issued in connection with any of such payments, and these amounts due are not convertible into Private Units or any other securities of DTCS or of Pubco.

 

  ● the fact that the Sponsor is entitled to $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services.

 

  ● the fact that the Business Combination Agreement provides for the continued indemnification of the DTCS’s former and current directors and officers and the continuation of directors and officers liability insurance covering the DTCS’s former and current directors and officers.

 

  ● the fact that the DTCS’s officers and directors and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on the DTCS’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. However, if DTCS fails to consummate a business combination within the required time period under the DTCS organizational documents, these persons will not have any claim against the trust account for reimbursement.

 

  ● the fact that Pubco and the Sponsor will enter into a Registration Rights Agreement at the Closing which provides for the registration of all of the shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock that are issuable to the Sponsor upon exercise of the Non-Redemption Warrants issued to the Sponsor.

 

  ● the fact that in addition to these interests of the Sponsor and DTCS’s officers, directors and advisors, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws and the DTCS’s organizational documents, waive certain applications of the doctrine of corporate opportunity in some circumstances where the application of any such doctrine would conflict with any fiduciary duties or contractual obligations they may have, and DTCS will renounce any expectation that any of its directors or officers will offer any such corporate opportunity of which he or she may become aware to us. DTCS does not believe that the pre-existing fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of its officers and directors materially impacted its search for an acquisition target. Further, DTCS does not believe that the waiver of the application of the corporate opportunity doctrine had a material impact on its ability to complete its initial business combination.

 

The personal and financial interests of the DTCS’s directors and officers may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting the Company as a business combination target, completing an initial business combination with the Company and influencing the operation of the business following the initial business combination. In considering the recommendations of the DTCS Board to vote for the Business Combination Proposal and other Proposals, you should consider these interests.

 

77

 

 

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

 

In the period leading up to the Closing, events may occur that, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, would require the SPAC to amend the Business Combination Agreement, to consent to certain actions taken by the Company or to waive rights that SPAC is entitled to under the Business Combination Agreement. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of the Company’s business, a request by the Company to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the Business Combination Agreement or the occurrence of other events that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or could entitle the SPAC to terminate the Business Combination Agreement. In any of such circumstances, it would be at the SPAC’s discretion, acting through the DTCS Board, to grant its consent or waive those rights; provided that under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, such consent or waiver in certain cases is not to be unreasonably withheld. The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of the directors may result in conflicts of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he or they may believe is best for the SPAC and what he or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining whether or not to take the requested action. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the SPAC does not believe there will be any changes or waivers that SPAC’s directors and officers would be likely to make after shareholder approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the other Proposals have been obtained. While certain changes could be made without further shareholder approval, the SPAC will circulate a new or amended proxy statement/prospectus and resolicit the SPAC shareholders if changes to the terms of the transaction that would have a material impact on its shareholders are required prior to the vote on the Business Combination Proposal and the other Proposals. As a matter of Cayman Islands law, the directors of the SPAC are under a fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of the SPAC.

 

The Business Combination may be subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations which may impose conditions on or limit certain investors’ ability to purchase our stock or otherwise participate in the Business Combination, potentially making the stock less attractive to investors. The SPAC’s future investments in or acquisitions of U.S. companies may also be subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations.

 

Certain investments that involve the acquisition of, or investment in, a “U.S. business” by a non-U.S. individual or entity (a “foreign person”) may be subject to review and approval by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”). Whether CFIUS has jurisdiction to review an acquisition or investment transaction depends on the nationality of the buyer or investor, the extent to which the target of the investment or acquisition is engaged in interstate commerce in the United States, and the nature of the rights afforded to the buyer or investor in the target entity. For example, transactions that result in “control” of a U.S. business by a foreign investor always are subject to CFIUS jurisdiction. CFIUS also has jurisdiction to review non-control transactions that afford a foreign investor certain information and/or governance rights in a U.S. business that has a qualifying nexus to “critical technologies,” “critical infrastructure” and/or “sensitive personal data” as those terms are defined in the CFIUS regulations. Foreign investments in U.S. businesses that deal in “critical technology” may be subject to mandatory pre-closing CFIUS filing requirements. Failure to make a CFIUS filing where one is required may subject the transacting parties to significant civil fines.

 

78

 

 

The Sponsor is likely to be considered a “foreign person” for CFIUS purposes, and the Company may be deemed as a U.S. business for purposes of CFIUS purposes. Nevertheless, CFIUS has broad discretion in determining whether a business is a “U.S. business” (i.e., an entity engaged in interstate commerce in the United States) under the CFIUS regulations. If CFIUS were to determine that the Company is a U.S. business, CFIUS could seek to review prior transactions involving new or existing foreign investors in the SPAC or the Company, or proposed transactions involving new foreign investors in the SPAC or the Company. Any informal inquiry or formal review or investigation of a transaction by CFIUS may have significant impacts on transaction certainty, timing, feasibility, and cost, among other things. CFIUS policies and practices can evolve quickly, and in the event of a CFIUS review of a foreign acquisition or investment transaction, there can be no assurances that the foreign buyer or investor will be able to maintain, or proceed with, such investments on terms acceptable to such investors. For example, CFIUS could seek to impose limitations or restrictions on, or prohibit, investments by foreign investors (including, but not limited to, limits on purchasing our stock, limits on information sharing with such investors, requiring a voting trust, governance modifications, or forced divestiture, among other things).

 

Moreover, the process of a government review of a transaction, whether by CFIUS or other government body, could be lengthy and provide the SPAC or Company with insufficient time to complete the Business Combination. If the Business Combination is not consummated within the Combination Period because of delays associated with CFIUS or because the Business Combination is ultimately prohibited by CFIUS or another U.S. government entity, the SPAC would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and redeem all the SPAC Public Shares and liquidate. See “Questions and Answers About the Business Combination and the Extraordinary General Meeting—Q: What happens if the Business Combination is not consummated or is terminated?” and “Risk Factors—Risks Related to SPAC and the Business Combination—If SPAC is unable to complete this Business Combination, or another business combination, within the prescribed time frame, SPAC would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and redeem all the SPAC Public Shares and liquidate” for more details.

 

The SPAC may be forced to close the Business Combination even if it determines it is no longer in the SPAC Shareholders’ best interest.

 

Public Shareholders are protected from a Company Material Adverse Effect arising between the date of the Business Combination Agreement and the date of the extraordinary general meeting, primarily by the right to redeem their SPAC Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, calculated as of two (2) business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. If a material adverse event were to occur after approval of the Business Combination Proposal and other Proposals at the extraordinary general meeting, the SPAC may be forced to close the Business Combination even if it determines it is no longer in its shareholders’ best interest to do so (as a result of such material adverse event), which could have a significant negative impact on the SPAC’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

The Initial Shareholders agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how Public Shareholders vote. In addition, the Sponsor or the SPAC’s directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates may elect to purchase the SPAC’s Public Shares from Public Shareholders, which may have the effect of increasing the likelihood of completion of the Business Combination or may reduce the public “float” of the DTCS Ordinary Shares.

 

The Initial Shareholders agreed to vote all of their Founder Shares and Representative Shares in favor of all the Proposals being presented at the extraordinary general meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal and the transactions contemplated thereby (including the SPAC Continuance).

 

In addition, the Sponsor, SPAC’s directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates may purchase Public Shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of the Business Combination, although they are under no obligation to do so. There is no limit on the number of Public Shares the Sponsor, SPAC’s directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates may purchase in such transactions, subject to compliance with applicable law and rules. However, any such purchases will be subject to limitations regarding possession of any material nonpublic information not disclosed to the seller of such shares and they will not make any such purchases if such purchases are prohibited by Regulation M or the tender offer rules under the Exchange Act. Any such privately negotiated purchases may be effected at purchase prices that are no greater than the per share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. However, the Sponsor and SPAC’s directors, officers, advisors and their respective affiliates have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. None of the funds in the Trust Account will be used to purchase Public Shares in such transactions. None of the Sponsor, SPAC’s directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates will make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller of such Public Shares during a restricted period under Regulation M under the Exchange Act or on any terms prohibited by the tender offer rules, to the extent applicable. Such a purchase could include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record holder of such Public Shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights, and could include a contractual provision that directs such shareholder to vote such shares in a manner directed by the purchaser.

 

The Business Combination was not structured to require the approval of at least a majority of DTCS’s unaffiliated shareholders.

 

Because the Business Combination was not structured to require the approval of at least a majority of DTCS’s unaffiliated shareholders, a majority of unaffiliated Public Shareholders may not approve or otherwise support the Business Combination. Cayman Islands law does not require a separate vote of unaffiliated shareholders to approve a business combination. Accordingly, DTCS’s governing documents do not require such a vote, and DTCS did not seek such a vote in connection with the Business Combination. The Sponsor and the Initial Shareholders have agreed to vote all of their shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. As of the record date, the Sponsor owned approximately [52.88]% of the issued and outstanding DTCS Ordinary Shares. As a result, no vote of DTCS’s unaffiliated Public Shareholders is required to approve the Business Combination, and the Business Combination may be consummated even if the holders of a majority of the Public Shares vote against the Business Combination Proposal or otherwise indicate their opposition. Because we did not solicit consents of unaffiliated shareholders, there is no assurance that a majority of our unaffiliated Public Shareholders support the Business Combination. The foregoing structure may increase the risk that the terms of the Business Combination are less favorable to the unaffiliated Public Shareholders than they might have been if a separate approval of the unaffiliated Public Shareholders had been required. Unaffiliated Public Shareholders who do not support the Business Combination may exercise their redemption rights in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination.

In the event that the Sponsor or SPAC’s directors, officers, advisors, or any of their respective affiliates purchase SPAC’s Public Shares in privately negotiated transactions from Public Shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares.

 

The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to decrease the number of redemptions to provide additional financing to the combined company following the closing of the Business Combination or to satisfy a closing condition in the Business Combination Agreement, where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met; however, pursuant to SEC guidance, if the Sponsor, SPAC’s directors, officers, advisors, or any of their respective affiliates purchase Public Shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market prior to the completion of the Business Combination, such Public Shares would not be voted in favor of the Proposals. Any such purchases of SPAC’s Public Shares may result in the completion of the Business Combination that may not otherwise have been possible. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent the purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements. Further, such purchases would be structured in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, including, among others, that the SPAC will file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC to disclose private arrangements entered into or significant private purchases made by any of the Sponsor or SPAC’s executive officers, directors and advisors, or their respective affiliates.

 

In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of the DTCS Ordinary Shares may be reduced and the number of beneficial holders of the SPAC’s securities following the Business Combination may be reduced, which may make it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of the SPAC’s securities on a national securities exchange.

 

The SPAC is dependent upon its directors and officers and their loss could adversely affect the SPAC’s ability to complete the Business Combination.

 

The SPAC’s operations are dependent upon a relatively small group of individuals and, in particular, its officers and directors. The SPAC believes that its success depends on the continued service of its officers and directors, at least until it has completed an initial business combination. In addition, its officers and directors are not required to commit any specified amount of time to the SPAC’s affairs and, accordingly, will have conflicts of interest in allocating their time among various business activities, including identifying potential business combinations and monitoring the related due diligence. The SPAC does not have an employment agreement with, or key-man insurance on the life of, any of its directors or officers. The unexpected loss of the services of one or more of the SPAC’s directors or officers could have a detrimental effect on the SPAC.

 

80

 

 

The SPAC’s directors and officers will allocate their time to other businesses, thereby causing conflicts of interest in their determination as to how much time to devote to the SPAC’s affairs. This conflict of interest could have a negative impact on the SPAC’s ability to complete the Business Combination.

 

The SPAC’s directors and officers are not required to, and may not, commit their full time to its affairs, which may result in a conflict of interest in allocating their time between the SPAC’s operations and the Closing, on the one hand, and their other business endeavors. The SPAC’s directors and officers are not obligated to contribute any specific number of hours per week to the SPAC’s affairs and may also serve as officers or board members for other entities. If its officers’ and directors’ other business affairs require them to devote time to such other affairs, this may have a negative impact on the SPAC’s ability to complete the Business Combination.

 

Past performance by the SPAC’s management team or entities affiliated with the SPAC or the Sponsor, may not be indicative of future performance of an investment in the SPAC following the Business Combination.

 

Past performance by the SPAC’s management team or entities affiliated with the SPAC or the Sponsor is not a guarantee of success with respect to the Business Combination. You should not rely on the historical record of the SPAC’s management team, entities affiliated with the SPAC or the Sponsor as indicative of the future performance of an investment in the SPAC following the Business Combination or the returns the SPAC following the Business Combination will, or is likely to, generate going forward.

 

The SPAC’s management concluded that there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a “going concern.”

 

As of September 30, 2025, SPAC had $51,431 of cash and a working capital deficiency of $625,273, and $31,338,322 of demand deposit held in the Trust Account to be used for a business combination or to repurchase or redeem the DTCS Ordinary Shares in connection therewith. The SPAC’s liquidity condition raises substantial doubt about the SPAC’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Our financial statements as for the period from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025 contains an explanatory paragraph as to the ability of DTCS to continue as a going concern.

 

If the SPAC is unable to raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity needs and complete a business combination by October 26, 2026, the SPAC will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating; provided, however, that DTCS may extend its deadline to consummate a business combination beyond October 26, 2026 at a duly called meeting of the DTCS shareholders, in accordance with the Existing Articles. The liquidity condition and date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the SPAC’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

81

 

 

Shareholder litigation could prevent or delay the Closing or otherwise negatively impact business, operating results and financial condition.

 

The SPAC may incur additional costs in connection with the defense or settlement of any shareholder litigation in connection with the proposed Business Combination. Litigation may adversely affect the SPAC’s ability to complete the proposed Business Combination. The SPAC could incur significant costs in connection with any such litigation lawsuits, including costs associated with the indemnification of obligations to the SPAC’s directors. Consequently, if a plaintiff were to secure injunctive or other relief prohibiting, delaying or otherwise adversely affecting the SPAC’s ability to complete the proposed Business Combination, then such injunctive or other relief may prevent the proposed Business Combination from becoming effective within the expected timeframe or at all.

 

There is no assurance when or if the Business Combination will be completed.

 

The completion of the Business Combination is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, including, among others, (i) approval of the Business Combination by the SPAC’s Shareholders and the Company’s shareholders; (ii) effectiveness of the proxy statement/prospectus; (iii) receipt of approval for issuance of the DTCS Ordinary Shares in connection with the Transactions; and (iv) no governmental authority having enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any law (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) or governmental order that is then in effect and which has the effect of making the Closing illegal or which otherwise prevents or prohibits consummation of the Closing (any of the foregoing, a “restraint”), other than any such restraint that is immaterial, and all regulatory approvals required in connection with the Business Combination have been obtained from or waived by the relevant governmental authority.

 

No assurance can be given that the required consents, orders and approvals will be obtained or that the required conditions to the completion of the Business Combination will be satisfied. Even if all such consents, orders and approvals are obtained and such conditions are satisfied, no assurance can be given as to the terms, conditions and timing of such consents, orders and approvals. The SPAC cannot provide assurance that the Business Combination will be completed on the terms or timeline currently contemplated, or at all.

 

The extraordinary general meeting may take place before all of the required regulatory approvals have been obtained and before all conditions to such approvals, if any, are known. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Business Combination Proposal are approved by the SPAC’s Shareholders, the SPAC would not be required to seek further approval of the SPAC’s Shareholders, even if the conditions imposed in obtaining required regulatory approvals could have an adverse effect on the SPAC or the Company.

 

Delays in completing the Business Combination may substantially reduce the expected benefits of the Business Combination.

 

Satisfying the conditions to, and completion of, the Business Combination may take longer than, and could cost more than the SPAC expects. Any delay in completing or any additional conditions imposed in order to complete the Business Combination may materially adversely affect the benefits that the SPAC expects to achieve from the Business Combination.

 

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 DTCS Board will not have the ability to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date in order to solicit further votes, and, therefore, the Business Combination will not be approved.

 

The DTCS 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 the consummation of the Business Combination. If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved, the DTCS Board will not have the ability to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date and, therefore, will not have more time to solicit votes to approve the consummation of the Business Combination. In such an event, the Business Combination would not be completed.

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

 

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

 

If third parties bring claims against the SPAC, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than US$10.00 per share.

 

The SPAC’s placing of funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third-party claims against it. Although it will seek to have all vendors, service providers, and other entities with which it does business execute agreements with it waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of Public Shareholders, such parties may not execute such agreements, or even if they execute such agreements, they may not 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 the SPAC’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, the SPAC’s management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will only enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver if management believes that such third party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to the SPAC than any alternative.

 

Examples of possible instances where the SPAC 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 the SPAC and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. Accordingly, the per-share redemption amount received by Public Shareholders could be less than the US$10.00 per share initially held in the Trust Account, due to claims of such creditors. Pursuant to a letter agreement with the Initial Shareholders, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the SPAC if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to it in excess of the net proceeds of the SPAC IPO not held in the Trust Account, but only to the extent necessary to ensure that such debts or obligations do not reduce the amounts in the Trust Account; provided, that, such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party that executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account nor will it apply to any claims under the SPAC’s indemnity of the underwriter of the SPAC 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.

 

However, the SPAC has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the SPAC independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and the SPAC believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the SPAC. Therefore, the SPAC cannot assure you that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available for the Business Combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than US$10.00 per share. In such event, the SPAC may not be able to complete the Business Combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of your SPAC Public Shares. None of the SPAC’s officers or directors will indemnify the SPAC for claims by third parties including claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

 

83

 

 

If, after the SPAC distributes the proceeds in the Trust Account to Public Shareholders, the SPAC files a bankruptcy or insolvency petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency petition is filed against it that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy or insolvency court may seek to recover such proceeds, and the members of the DTCS Board may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to its creditors, thereby exposing the members of its board of directors and the SPAC to claims of punitive damages.

 

If the SPAC files a bankruptcy or insolvency petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency petition is filed against it that is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy or insolvency laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy or insolvency court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by the SPAC’s shareholders. In addition, the DTCS Board may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to its creditors and/or having acted in bad faith, thereby exposing itself and the SPAC to claims of punitive damages, by paying Public Shareholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors.

 

The Business Combination may be completed even though material adverse effects may result from the announcement of the Business Combination, industry-wide changes and other causes.

 

In general, either the SPAC or the Company can refuse to complete the Business Combination if there is a material adverse effect affecting the other party between the signing date of the Business Combination Agreement and the planned closing. However, certain types of changes do not permit either party to refuse to complete the Business Combination, even if such change could be said to have a material adverse effect on the Company, including, among others, the following events (except, in some cases, where the change has a disproportionate effect on a party):

 

  (a) general changes in the financial or securities markets or general economic or political conditions;

 

  (b) changes, conditions or effects that generally affect the industries;

 

  (c) any change in applicable laws or U.S. GAAP or other applicable accounting principles or mandatory changes in the regulatory accounting requirements;

 

  (d) conditions caused by acts of God, epidemic, terrorism, war (whether or not declared), natural disaster or pandemic;

 

  (e) any failure in and of itself to meet any internal or published budgets, projections, forecasts or predictions of financial performance for any period;

 

  (f) with respect to the SPAC, the consummation and effects of any redemption;

 

  (g) the announcement or the existence of, express compliance with or performance under the Business Combination Agreement or the Transactions;

 

  (h) any action not otherwise required by the Business Combination Agreement or the Ancillary Documents or applicable law that is taken at the express written request of the SPAC and in accordance with such instructions;

 

84

 

 

  (i) any changes after the Signing Date in applicable Law, excluding GAAP or any other accounting principles (or authoritative interpretations thereof);

 

  (j) or any event, occurrence, fact, condition, or change referred to in clauses (a), (b), (d) and (i) immediately above shall be taken into account in determining whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred or could reasonably be expected to occur to the extent that such event, occurrence, fact, condition, or change has a disproportionate effect on the SPAC or the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries compared to other participants in the same industries.

 

Furthermore, the SPAC or the Company may waive the occurrence of a material adverse effect affecting the other party. If a material adverse effect occurs and the parties still complete the Business Combination, the SPAC’s share price may suffer.

 

Subsequent to the completion of the Business Combination, the SPAC may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructure its operations, or incur unanticipated losses, impairment or other charges or liabilities that could have a significant negative effect on its financial condition, results of operations and the trading price of the SPAC’s securities, which could cause the SPAC’s shareholders to lose some or all of their investment.

 

Although the SPAC has conducted due diligence on the Company, the SPAC cannot assure you that this diligence identified all material issues that may be present with the business of the Company. The SPAC cannot rule out that factors outside of the target business and outside of its control will not later arise. As a result of these factors, following the consummation of the Business Combination, the SPAC may be forced to write down or write off assets, restructure its operations, or incur unanticipated losses impairment or other charges or liabilities that could result in it reporting losses. Even if the SPAC’s due diligence successfully identifies certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with the SPAC’s preliminary risk analysis. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and not have an immediate impact on the SPAC’s liquidity, the fact that the SPAC reports charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about the post-combination company or its securities. In addition, charges of this nature may cause the SPAC to be unable to obtain future financing on favorable terms or at all.

 

During the interim period, the SPAC is prohibited from entering into certain transactions that might otherwise be beneficial to the SPAC or its shareholders.

 

Until the earlier of consummation of the Business Combination or termination of the Business Combination Agreement, the SPAC is subject to certain limitations on the operations of its business, including restrictions on its ability to merge, consolidate or amalgamate with or into, or acquire (by purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in, or by any other manner) any entity other than the Company, as summarized under the “The Business Combination Agreement and the Ancillary Documents—Business Combination Agreement—Covenants.” The limitations on the SPAC’s conduct of its business during this period could have the effect of delaying or preventing other strategic transactions and may, in some cases, make it impossible to pursue business opportunities that are available only for a limited time.

 

The Business Combination remains subject to conditions that the SPAC cannot control and if such conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Business Combination may not be consummated.

 

The Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions. There are no assurances that all conditions to the Business Combination will be satisfied or that the conditions will be satisfied in the time frame expected. If the conditions to the Business Combination are not met (and are not waived, to the extent waivable), then either the SPAC or the Company may, subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, terminate the Business Combination Agreement or amend the termination date upon which either SPAC or the Company may terminate the Business Combination Agreement. See “Proposal No. 2 — The Business Combination Proposal.”

 

85

 

 

DTCS’s shareholders may have limited remedies if their shares suffer a reduction in value following the Business Combination, and may face difficulties in protecting their interests, and a shareholder’s ability to protect its rights through the U.S. federal courts may be limited.

 

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 the SPAC’s officers or directors of a duty of care or other fiduciary duties, or if they are able to successfully bring a private claim under securities laws that the proxy/registration statement relating to the Business Combination contained an actionable material misstatement or material omission.

 

DTCS is currently an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and, following the completion of the Business Combination, Pubco will be a Delaware corporation existing under the DGCL.

 

The corporate affairs of DTCS currently are governed by its Cayman Organizational Documents, the Companies Act and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The corporate affairs of Pubco following the Business Combination is governed by its Organizational Documents, the DGCL and the common law of Delaware. The rights of shareholders to take action against directors, the ability of minority shareholders to initiate actions, and the fiduciary duties of directors to DTCS and the Company, are, to a large extent, governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands and Delaware, respectively. 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 the shareholders of the SPAC and the Company and the fiduciary duties of the directors of the SPAC under Cayman Islands law are not clearly established as what they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the U.S. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the U.S., 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.

 

There is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands would: (i) recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against us or our directors or officers that are predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any state in the United States, or (ii) entertain original actions brought in the Cayman Islands against us or our directors or officers that are predicated upon the federal securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any state in the United States.

 

As a result of all of the above, public shareholders of the SPAC may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by management, members of the board of directors of the SPAC and the Company or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a U.S. company.

The SEC has issued final rules and guidance relating to certain activities of SPACs. The need for compliance with these rules and the guidance may increase the costs and time needed to complete the SPAC’s initial business combination and may constrain the circumstances under which the SPAC could complete the Business Combination.

 

On January 24, 2024, the SEC issued final rules (the “2024 SPAC Rules”) relating to, among other things, disclosures in SEC filings in connection with business combination transactions involving special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) 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 2024 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 2024 SPAC Rules and the SPAC Guidance may increase the costs and time required to consummate a business combination and may constrain the circumstances under which the SPAC could complete the Business Combination.

 

If the SPAC is deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, it may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and its activities may be restricted, which may make it difficult for the SPAC to complete the Business Combination and the other proposed transactions.

 

If the SPAC is deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, its activities may be restricted, including:

 

  ● restrictions on the nature of its investments; and

 

  ● restrictions on the issuance of securities; each of which may make it difficult for the SPAC to complete its initial business combination. In addition, the SPAC may have imposed upon us burdensome requirements, including:

 

  ○ registration as an investment company with the SEC;

 

  ○ adoption of a specific form of corporate structure; and

 

  ○ reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy and disclosure requirements and other rules and regulations that we are not currently subject to.

 

In order not to be regulated as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, unless the SPAC can qualify for an exclusion, the SPAC must ensure that it is engaged primarily in a business other than investing, reinvesting or trading of securities and that our activities do not include investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading “investment securities” constituting more than 40% of its assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. The SPAC’s business will be to enter into the Business Combination and thereafter to operate the post-Business Combination business or assets for the long term.

 

The SPAC does not believe that its activities or the Business Combination or other transactions described herein will subject it to the Investment Company Act. To this end, the proceeds held in the Trust Account may only be invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. By restricting the investment of the proceeds to these instruments, and by entering into the Business Combination and other transactions for the long term (rather than on buying and selling businesses in the manner of a merchant bank or private equity fund), the SPAC intends to avoid being deemed an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.

 

If the SPAC were deemed to be subject to the Investment Company Act, compliance with these additional regulatory burdens would require additional expenses for which the SPAC has not allotted funds and may hinder its ability to complete the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated herein. If the SPAC is unable to complete the Business Combination and other transactions within the required time period, our Public Shareholders may receive only approximately $10.00 per share, or less in certain circumstances, on the liquidation of the SPAC’s Trust Account.

The Redomestication Merger may be a taxable event for U.S. Holders of DTCS Ordinary Shares.

 

Subject to the limitations and qualifications described in “Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for Holders of DTCS Securities and Pubco Securities,” the parties intend to take the position that the Redomestication Merger constitutes a tax-deferred reorganization pursuant to Section 368(a) of the Code. If the Redomestication Merger is so treated, a U.S. Holder would not recognize gain or loss on the deemed exchange of DTCS Ordinary Shares for Pubco Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Business Combination. The provisions of Section 368 of the Code, however, are complex and qualification for such treatment could be adversely affected by events or actions that occur following the Business Combination that are out of the DTCS’s control.

 

Moreover, Section 367(b) of the Code may apply to the Redomestication Merger, as discussed further in “Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for Holders of DTCS Securities and Pubco Securities — A. Tax Effects of the Domestication to U.S. Holders — 3. Effects of Section 367 to U.S. Holders of DTCS Ordinary Shares”, and U.S. Holders of DTCS Ordinary Shares may be subject to adverse tax consequences under the PFIC rules, as discussed further in the subsection entitled “— 5. PFIC Considerations.”.

 

If the Redomestication Merger does not qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, then a U.S. Holder that is deemed to exchange its DTCS Ordinary Shares for the consideration pursuant to the Redomestication Merger generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between (i) the fair market value of the Pubco Class A Common Stock received and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the DTCS Ordinary Shares deemed exchanged therefor. For a more detailed discussion of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Redomestication Merger, see “Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for Holders of DTCS Securities and Pubco Securities” in this proxy statement/prospectus. Holders should consult their tax advisors to determine the tax consequences to them (including the application and effect of any state, local or other income and other tax laws) of the Redomestication Merger.

 

Further, U.S. Holders exercising redemption rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of the Business Combination. All U.S. Holders considering exercising redemption rights with respect to their DTCS Ordinary Shares and, after the Business Combination, Pubco Class A Common Stock (as applicable) are urged to consult with their tax advisors with respect to the potential tax consequences to them of the Business Combination and exercise of redemption rights.

 

Risks Related to Redemption

 

You will not have any rights or interests in funds from the Trust Account, except under certain limited circumstances. To liquidate your investment, therefore, you may be forced to redeem or sell your SPAC Public Shares, potentially at a loss.

 

Public Shareholders will be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the SPAC’s completion of the Business Combination, and then only in connection with those SPAC Public Shares that such shareholder properly elected to redeem, subject to the limitations described herein, (ii) the redemption of any SPAC Public Shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the SPAC’s Organizational Documents (A) to modify the substance or timing of the SPAC’s obligation to provide holders of DTCS Ordinary Shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with a business combination or to redeem 100% of the SPAC Public Shares if the SPAC does not complete a business combination by April 26, 2026 (or October 26, 2026 if the SPAC elects to make all 12 Monthly Extensions through such date), or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, or (iii) if they redeem their respective shares for cash upon the completion of the initial business combination. Public Shareholders may be forced to wait beyond October 26, 2026 if SPAC extends the period of time to consummate a business combination, before they receive funds from the Trust Account. In no other circumstances will the SPAC’s Shareholders have any right or interest of any kind in the Trust Account. Accordingly, to liquidate your investment, you may be forced to sell your SPAC Public Shares, potentially at a loss.

 

88

 

 

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

 

Public Shareholders who wish to redeem their SPAC Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account must (i) submit a written request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, SPAC’s transfer agent, in which you request that SPAC redeem all or a portion of your SPAC Public Shares for cash, and identify yourself as the beneficial holder of the SPAC Public Shares and provide your legal name, phone number and address; and (ii) deliver your Public Shares to the transfer agent (together with any applicable share certificates and redemption forms), either physically or electronically through Depository Trust Company, in each case at least two (2) business days prior to the vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Any SPAC Public Shareholder who fails to properly demand redemption of such shareholder’s SPAC Public Shares will not be entitled to convert his, her or its SPAC Public Shares into a pro rata portion of the Trust Account. In addition, SPAC will comply with the proxy rules when conducting redemptions in connection with the Business Combination. Despite SPAC’s compliance with these rules, if a shareholder fails to receive SPAC’s tender offer or proxy materials, as applicable, such shareholder may not become aware of the opportunity to redeem its SPAC Public Shares. Furthermore, the proxy materials, as applicable, that SPAC will furnish to holders of SPAC Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination will describe the various procedures that must be complied with in order to validly redeem SPAC Public Shares. In the event that a shareholder fails to comply with these procedures, his, her or its SPAC Public Shares will not be redeemed.

 

The ability of a large number of the SPAC’s Public Shareholders to exercise redemption rights may not allow the SPAC to consummate the most desirable business combination or optimize its capital structure.

 

In connection with the successful consummation of the SPAC’s business combination, Public Shareholders will be able to redeem up to all of the Public Shares. However, the SPAC may need to arrange third party financing to help fund its business combination in case a larger percentage of the SPAC’s Public Shareholders exercise their redemption rights than expected. Raising additional funds to cover any shortfall may involve dilutive equity financing or incurring indebtedness at higher than desirable levels. In the event the aggregate cash consideration the SPAC would be required to pay for all DTCS Ordinary Shares that are validly submitted for redemption, the SPAC will not complete the business combination or redeem any shares, all DTCS Ordinary Shares submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof, and the SPAC instead may search for an alternate business combination.

 

 

If you or a “group” of shareholders of which you are a part are deemed to hold an aggregate of more than 15% of the SPAC Public Shares issued in the SPAC IPO, you (or, if a member of such a group, all of the members of such group in the aggregate) will lose the ability to redeem all such shares in excess of 15% of the SPAC Public Shares issued in the SPAC IPO.

 

A shareholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate his, her or its SPAC Public Shares or, if part of such a group, the group’s SPAC Public Shares, in excess of 15% of the SPAC Public Shares included in the SPAC Units sold in the SPAC IPO. In order to determine whether a shareholder is acting in concert or as a group with another shareholder, the SPAC will require each shareholder seeking to exercise redemption rights to certify to the SPAC whether such shareholder is acting in concert or as a group with any other shareholder. Such certifications, together with other public information relating to share ownership available to the SPAC at that time, such as Schedule 13D, Schedule 13G and Section 16 filings under the Exchange Act, will be the sole basis on which the SPAC makes the above-referenced determination. Your inability to redeem any such excess SPAC Public Shares will reduce your influence over the SPAC’s ability to consummate the Business Combination and you could suffer a material loss on your investment in the SPAC if you sell such excess SPAC Public Shares in open market transactions. Additionally, you will not receive redemption distributions with respect to such excess SPAC Public Shares if the SPAC consummates the Business Combination. As a result, you will continue to hold that number of SPAC Public Shares aggregating to more than 15% of the SPAC Public Shares included in the SPAC Units sold in the SPAC IPO and, in order to dispose of such excess SPAC Public Shares, would be required to sell your SPAC Public Shares in open market transactions prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, potentially at a loss. There is no assurance that the value of such excess SPAC Public Shares will appreciate over time following the Business Combination or that the market price of the SPAC Public Shares will exceed the per-share redemption price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, shareholders may challenge the SPAC’s determination as to whether a shareholder is acting in concert or as a group with another shareholder in a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

However, the SPAC’s Shareholders’ ability to vote all of their DTCS Ordinary Shares (including such excess SPAC Public Shares) for or against the Business Combination Proposal and all other proposals presented at the extraordinary general meeting is not restricted by this limitation on redemption.

 

89

 

 

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

 

DTCS initially had 15 months (the “Business Combination Period”) to complete a business combination after its IPO and held the annual meeting of shareholders on October 22, 2025. The shareholders approved the proposal that DTCS may extend the Business Combination Period to October 26, 2026, by depositing $75,000 for each monthly extension. DTCS held its 2025 Annual Meeting on October 22, 2025. At the Annual Meeting, the shareholders approved the Extension Proposal, allowing DTCS to extend the Business Combination Period to October 26, 2026, by depositing $75,000 into the Trust Account for each monthly extension. In connection with the shareholders’ vote on the Extension Proposal, 5,247,491 shares, or 76.05% of the shares owned by public shareholders, were tendered for redemption, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $[57,318,850], at a per-share redemption price of approximately $10.82 per share. After giving effect to such redemptions, approximately $18.3 million remained in the Trust Account as of June 10, 2026; and 1,652,509 Public Shares, and 3,653,409 DTCS Ordinary Shares, remained outstanding If the SPAC has not completed this Business Combination, or another business combination, within such time period, the SPAC will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the SPAC Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the SPAC, divided by the number of the then-outstanding SPAC Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the SPAC’s remaining shareholders and the DTCS Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the SPAC’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The SPAC’s Organizational Documents provide that, if the SPAC voluntarily winds up for any other reason prior to the consummation of its initial business combination, it will follow the foregoing procedures with respect to the liquidation of the Trust Account as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, subject to applicable Cayman Islands law. In either such case, Public Shareholders may receive only US$[●] per share, or less than US$[●] per share, on the redemption of their shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) DTCS and PGUS may mutually agree to extend the Outside Date by an additional three months to January 26, 2027 and (ii) DTCS may extend its deadline to consummate a business combination beyond October 26, 2026 at a duly called meeting of the DTCS shareholders, in accordance with the Existing Articles.

 

Risks If the Business Combination Is Not Consummated

 

Termination of the Business Combination Agreement could negatively impact the SPAC and the Company.

 

If the Business Combination is not completed for any reason, including as a result of SPAC shareholders declining to approve the Proposals required to effect the Business Combination, the ongoing businesses of the Company and SPAC may be adversely impacted and, without realizing any of the anticipated benefits of completing the Business Combination, the Company and the SPAC would be subject to a number of risks, including the following:

 

  ● The SPAC or the Company may experience negative reactions from the financial markets, including negative impacts on its stock price (including to the extent that the current market price reflects a market assumption that the Business Combination will be completed);

 

  ● the Company may experience negative reactions from its customers, vendors and employees;

 

  ● the Company and the SPAC will have incurred substantial expenses and will be required to pay certain costs relating to the Business Combination, whether or not the Business Combination is completed; and

 

  ● since the Business Combination Agreement restricts the conduct of the Company’s and the SPAC’s businesses prior to completion of the Business Combination, each of the Company and the SPAC may not have been able to take certain actions during the pendency of the Business Combination that would have benefitted it as an independent company, and the opportunity to take such actions may no longer be available.

 

In addition, if the Business Combination Agreement is terminated and the board of directors of the SPAC seeks another merger or business combination, the SPAC’s shareholders cannot be certain that the SPAC will be able to find another acquisition target or that such other merger or business combination will be completed. Any potential target business with which the SPAC enters into negotiations concerning an initial business combination will be aware that the SPAC must complete its initial business combination by April 26, 2026 (or October 26, 2026 if the SPAC elects to make all 12 Monthly Extensions through such date). Consequently, if the SPAC is unable to complete this Business Combination, a potential target business may obtain leverage over it in negotiating an initial business combination, knowing that if the SPAC does not complete its initial business combination with that particular target business, it may be unable to complete its initial business combination with any target business. This risk will increase as the SPAC gets closer to the timeframe described above. In addition, the SPAC may have limited time to conduct due diligence and may enter into its initial business combination on terms that it would have rejected upon a more comprehensive investigation. Additionally, the SPAC may have insufficient working capital to continue efforts to pursue a business combination.

 

90

 

 

If the SPAC is unable to complete this Business Combination, or another business combination, within the prescribed time frame, the SPAC would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and redeem all the SPAC Public Shares and liquidate.

 

The SPAC must complete its initial business combination by April 26, 2026 (or October 26, 2026 if the SPAC elects to make all 12 Monthly Extensions through such date). If the SPAC has not completed this Business Combination, or another business combination, within such time period, the SPAC 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 SPAC 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 the SPAC, divided by the number of the then-outstanding SPAC Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish 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 the SPAC’s remaining shareholders and the DTCS Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the SPAC’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The SPAC’s Organizational Documents provide that, if the SPAC voluntarily winds up for any other reason prior to the consummation of its initial business combination, it 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, Public Shareholders may receive only US$[●] per share, or less than US$[●] per share, on the redemption of their shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) DTCS and PGUS may mutually agree to extend the Outside Date by an additional three months to January 26, 2027 and (ii) DTCS may extend its deadline to consummate a business combination beyond October 26, 2026 at a duly called meeting of the DTCS shareholders, in accordance with the Existing Articles.

 

Risks Related to Pubco’s Securities Following the Business Combination

 

An active market for the Pubco’s securities following the Business Combination may not develop, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of the Pubco’s securities.

 

The price of the Pubco’s securities following the Business Combination may vary significantly due to factors specific to the Pubco as well as to general market or economic conditions. Furthermore, an active trading market for the Pubco’s securities may never develop or, if developed, it may not be sustained. You may be unable to sell your securities unless a market can be established and sustained.

 

The share price of the Pubco following the Business Combination may be volatile and could decline substantially.

 

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

 

  ● actual or anticipated variations in the financial results and prospects of the Pubco or other companies in a similar business;

 

  ● changes in financial estimates by research analysts;

 

91

 

 

  ● changes in the market valuations of other education technology companies;

 

  ● announcements by the Pubco or its competitors of expansions, investments, acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures;

 

  ● mergers or other business combinations involving the Pubco;

 

  ● additions and departures of key personnel and senior management;

 

  ● the passage of legislation or other developments affecting the Pubco or its industry;

 

  ● the trading volume of the Pubco’s shares in the public market;

 

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

 

  ● potential litigation or regulatory investigations;

 

  ● changes in economic conditions, including fluctuations in global and regional economies;

 

  ● financial market conditions; and

 

  ● natural disasters, terrorist acts, acts of war or periods of civil unrest.

 

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

 

The Pubco’s securities following the Business Combination may not continue to be listed on Nasdaq, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in the Pubco’s securities and subject the Pubco to additional trading restrictions.

 

The DTCS Ordinary Shares are currently listed on Nasdaq and it is anticipated that, following the Business Combination, the Pubco Class A Common Stock will be listed on Nasdaq. However, the Pubco cannot assure you that the Pubco Class A Common Stock will continue to be listed on Nasdaq in the future. For example, the Business Combination Agreement permits the parties to waive the closing condition requiring that the Pubco Class A Shares be approved for listing on Nasdaq. In order to continue listing its securities on Nasdaq, the Pubco following the Business Combination must maintain certain financial, distribution and stock price levels. Generally, the Pubco must maintain a minimum number of holders of its securities (generally 400 public holders). Additionally, in connection with the Business Combination, the Pubco will be required to demonstrate compliance with Nasdaq’s initial listing requirements, which are more rigorous than Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, in order to continue to maintain the listing of our securities on Nasdaq. The Pubco cannot assure you that it will be able to meet those initial listing requirements at that time, which may subject the Pubco to additional trading restrictions.

 

92

 

 

The sale or availability for sale of substantial amounts of Pubco Class A Common Stock following the business combination could adversely affect their market price.

 

Sales of substantial amounts of the Pubco Class A Common Stock in the public market after the completion of the Business Combination, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of the Pubco Class Shares and could materially impair the Pubco’s ability to raise capital through equity offerings in the future. Subject to the next sentence, the Pubco’s Class A Shares listed after the Business Combination will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. In connection with the Business Combination, certain shareholders of the Company becoming the Pubco’s shareholders as a result of the Business Combination, have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to transfer any Pubco Class A Common Stock for a lock-up period ending earlier of (i) one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing, or (ii) the date on which the Pubco completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Pubco’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Pubco Class A Common Stock or other equity securities of the Pubco for cash, securities or other property. Thereafter, the Pubco Class A Common Stock held by these shareholders may be sold in the public market in the future subject to the restrictions in Rule 144 and Rule 701 under the Securities Act and the applicable lockup agreements. In addition, pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Pubco will agree to register for resale, pursuant to applicable securities laws and regulations, with respect to shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock that are issuable to the Sponsor upon exercise of Sponsor’s Non-Redemption Warrants and shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock issued to shareholders PGUS whose Pro Rata Share of the Merger Consideration is not registered pursuant to the Registration Statement.

 

There will be [●] outstanding and issued shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock immediately after the Business Combination, assuming no redemption of DTCS Ordinary Shares. We cannot predict what effect, if any, market sales of securities held by the Pubco’s significant stockholders or any other holders or the availability of these securities for future sale will have on the market price of the Pubco Class A Common Stock.

 

Volatility in the Pubco’s share price could subject the Pubco to securities class action litigation.

 

The market price of Pubco Class A Common Stock may be volatile and, in the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their shares have been subject to securities class action litigation. After the completion of the Business Combination, the Pubco may be the target of securities class action litigation and investigations. Securities litigation against the Pubco, regardless of the result thereof, could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention from other business concerns, which could adversely affect the Pubco’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The requirements of being a public company may strain the Pubco’s resources, divert the Pubco’s management’s attention and affect the Pubco’s ability to attract and retain qualified board members.

 

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the Pubco is subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Act, listing requirements of Nasdaq and other applicable securities rules and regulations. As such, the Pubco will incur relevant legal, accounting and other expenses, and these expenses may increase even more if the Pubco no longer qualifies as an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act. See “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus—Emerging Growth Company.” The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that the Pubco file annual and current reports with respect to the Pubco’s business and results of operations. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that the Pubco maintains effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. The Pubco may need to hire more employees or engage outside consultants to comply with these requirements, which will increase its costs and expenses.

 

Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs and making some activities more time-consuming. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. These laws and regulations may increase the Pubco’s legal and financial compliance costs and render the Pubco’s certain business activities more time-consuming and costly.

 

93

 

 

The Pubco’s management team may not successfully or efficiently manage the transition to being a public company subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under the federal securities laws and regulations and the continuous scrutiny of securities analysts and investors. The need to establish the corporate infrastructure demanded of a public company may divert the management’s attention from implementing the Pubco’s growth strategy, which could prevent the improvement of the Pubco’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, these rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for the Pubco to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and consequently the Pubco may be required to incur substantial costs to maintain the same or similar coverage. These additional obligations could have a material adverse effect on the Pubco’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. These factors could also make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified members of the Pubco’s board of directors, particularly to serve on the Pubco’s audit committee, compensation committee and nominating committee, and qualified executive officers.

 

As a result of disclosure of information in this proxy statement/prospectus and in filings required of a public company, the Pubco’s business and financial condition will become more visible, which it believes may result in threatened or actual litigation, including by competitors and other third parties. If such claims are successful, the Pubco’s business and results of operations could be adversely affected, and, even if the claims do not result in litigation or are resolved in the Pubco’s favor, these claims, and the time and resources necessary to resolve them, could cause an adverse effect on the Pubco’s business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects and reputation.

 

Market volatility could impact the share price and trading volume of the Pubco’s securities.

 

The trading market for the Pubco’s securities could be impacted by recent market volatility. Recent stock run-ups, divergences in valuation ratios relative to those seen during traditional markets, high short interest or short squeezes, and strong and atypical retail investor interest in the markets may impact the demand for Pubco Class A Common Stock.

 

A possible “short squeeze” due to a sudden increase in demand of Pubco Class A Common Stock that largely exceeds supply may lead to price volatility in Pubco Class A Common Stock. Investors may purchase Pubco Class A Common Stock to hedge existing exposure or to speculate on the price of Pubco Class A Common Stock. Speculation on the price of Pubco Class A Common Stock may involve both long and short exposures. To the extent aggregate short exposure exceeds the number of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock available for purchase (for example, in the event that large redemption requests dramatically affect liquidity), investors with short exposure may have to pay a premium to repurchase Pubco Class A Common Stock for delivery to lenders. Those repurchases may in turn, dramatically increase the price of the Pubco Class A Common Stock. This is often referred to as a “short squeeze.” A short squeeze could lead to volatile price movements in the Pubco Class A Common Stock that are not directly correlated to the operating performance of the Pubco.

 

There will be material differences between your current rights as a holder of Pubco Public Shares prior to and after the Business Combination.

 

The Pubco is currently incorporated as an exempted Cayman Islands company. Upon completion of the Business Combination, the Pubco will be a Delaware corporation existing under the DGCL. There will be material differences between the current rights of the Pubco’s shareholders and the rights you will have as a holder of shares of a Delaware corporation. For a more detailed discussion of the differences in the rights of the Pubco’s shareholders prior to and after the Business Combination, see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Comparison of Shareholder Rights.”

 

Upon completion of the Business Combination, the market price for the Pubco’s securities may be affected by factors different from those that historically have affected the Pubco.

 

Upon completion of the Business Combination, the results of operations of the Pubco will be affected by some factors that are different from those currently affecting the results of operations of the Pubco. The Pubco is a special purpose acquisition company incorporated in the Cayman Islands that is not engaged in any operating activity, directly or indirectly. The Pubco, after the consummation of the Business Combination, will focus on providing autonomous marine technology, with specialization in developing and integrating AI-powered systems for marine operations. The Pubco’s business and results of operations after the consummation of the Business Combination will be affected by regional, country, and industry risks and operating risks to which the Pubco prior to the Business Combination was not exposed. For a discussion of the business that is currently conducted and proposed to be conducted by the Pubco, see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Business and Certain Information of PGUS” and “Business and Certain Information about DTCS.”

 

94

 

 

The process of taking a company public by means of a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company is different from taking a company public through an IPO and may create risks for the Pubco’s unaffiliated investors.

 

A conventional initial public offering (an “IPO”) involves a company engaging underwriters to purchase its shares and resell them to the public. An underwritten offering imposes statutory liability on the underwriters for material misstatements or omissions contained in the registration statement unless they are able to sustain the burden of proving that they did not know and could not reasonably have discovered such material misstatements or omissions. This is referred to as a “due diligence” defense and results in the underwriters undertaking a detailed review of an IPO company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Going public via a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company, such as the Pubco, does not involve any underwriters and may therefore result in less careful vetting of information that is presented to the public.

 

In addition, going public via a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company does not involve a bookbuilding process as is the case in an IPO. In any IPO, the initial value of a company is set by investors who indicate the price at which they are prepared to purchase shares from the underwriters. In the case of a business combination involving a special purpose acquisition company, the value of the Company is established by means of negotiations between the Company and the Pubco. The process of establishing the value of the Company in a business combination may be less effective than an IPO bookbuilding process and also does not reflect events that may have occurred between the date of the business combination agreement and the closing of the transaction. In addition, while IPOs are frequently oversubscribed, resulting in additional potential demand for shares in the aftermarket following an IPO, there is no comparable process of generating investor demand in connection with a business combination between the Company and the Pubco, which may result in lower demand for the Pubco’s securities after the Closing, which could in turn decrease liquidity and trading prices as well as increase trading volatility.

 

The Pubco currently is, and after the completion of the Business Combination, will be an “emerging growth company,” and the reduced reporting and disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies may make the Pubco’s securities less attractive to investors.

 

The Pubco is currently and, following the consummation of the Business Combination, the Pubco will be an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. The Pubco, following the Closing, may continue to 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 the Pubco’s 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 Pubco 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 Pubco, 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 Pubco’s financial statements with certain other public companies difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

 

95

 

 

The Pubco will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year (i) following the fifth anniversary of the consummation of the Pubco IPO, (ii) in which the Pubco has total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (iii) in which the Pubco is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of the Pubco’s securities that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter; and (2) the date on which the Pubco has issued more than $1.00 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.

 

Investors may find the Pubco’s securities less attractive if it chooses to rely on these exemptions, and there may be a less active trading market for the Pubco’s securities, and the price of such securities may be more volatile.

 

The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed By-Laws of the Pubco following the Business Combination contain certain provisions, including anti-takeover provisions that limit the ability of shareholders to take certain actions and could delay or discourage takeover attempts that shareholders may consider favorable.

 

The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed By-Laws of the Pubco that will be in effect upon consummation of the Business Combination contain provisions, including advance notice provisions, that could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying, or preventing an acquisition that shareholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which shareholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for the Pubco’s securities, and therefore depress the trading price of the Pubco Class A Common Stock. These provisions could also make it difficult for shareholders to take certain actions, including electing directors who are not nominated by the Pubco or taking other corporate actions, including effecting changes in the Pubco’s management following the Business Combination. See “Description of Pubco Class A Common Stock After the Business Combination.” These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile takeovers and changes in control or changes in the Pubco’s board of directors or management.

 

Following the Business Combination, if securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about the Pubco, the Pubco’s business, its market or its competitors, or if they change their recommendations regarding the SPAC’s securities adversely, the price and trading volume of the Pubco’s securities could decline.

 

The trading market for the Pubco’s securities will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about the Pubco, the Pubco’s business, its market or its competitors. If any of the analysts who may cover the SPAC following the Business Combination change their recommendation regarding the Pubco’s securities adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about the Pubco’s competitors, the price of the Pubco’s securities would likely decline. If any analyst who may cover the Pubco following the Business Combination were to cease their coverage or fail to regularly publish reports on the Pubco, the Pubco could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause the price or trading volume of the Pubco’s securities to decline.

 

If after the completion of the Business Combination, the Pubco fails to implement and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, it may be unable to accurately report its results of operations, meet its reporting obligations or prevent fraud, and investor confidence and the market price of the Pubco Class A Common Stock may be materially adversely affected.

 

The Pubco is currently and, following the consummation of the Business Combination, will continue to be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that the Pubco maintains effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”). Following the consummation of the Business Combination, the Pubco needs to continue perform system and process evaluation and testing of its ICFR to allow management to report on the effectiveness of its ICFR, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

 

96

 

 

Once the Pubco ceases to be an “emerging growth company” as the term is defined in the JOBS Act or non-accelerated filer, its independent registered public accounting firm must attest to and report on the effectiveness of its ICFR. The Pubco’s management and its independent registered public accounting firm may conclude that its ICFR is not effective. As a result, the Pubco may incur significant expenses and devote substantial effort to expand its accounting and finance functions.

 

The Pubco’s ICFR will not prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Because of the inherent limitations in control systems, misstatements due to error or fraud could occur in the future, and a control system could fail to detect control issues and fraud.

 

If the Pubco fails to comply with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in a timely manner, or to maintain proper and effective internal controls, it may not produce accurate financial statements in a timely manner. As a result, the market price of the Pubco Class A Common Stock may decline and the Pubco could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the Nasdaq Stock Market, SEC or other regulatory authorities.

 

[The Pubco’s principal shareholders, including Mr. Daniel Chiu, have the ability to exert significant influence over important corporate matters that require approval of shareholders, which may deprive you of an opportunity to receive a premium for the Pubco’s securities and materially reduce the value of your investment.]

 

Immediately following the completion of the Business Combination, Mr. Daniel Chiu will, directly and/or through intermediary companies controlled by him, hold a majority of the voting power of the then issued and outstanding share capital of the Pubco, assuming full redemption of the Pubco’s Public Shares.

 

This concentration of voting rights [and the protective provisions in the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed By-Laws, which will become effective upon the completion of the Business Combination, may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of the Pubco, which could have the dual effect of depriving the Pubco’s shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of the Pubco and reducing the price of Pubco Class A Common Stock. As a result of the foregoing, the value of your investment could be materially reduced.

 

The Pubco following the completion of the Business Combination does not intend to pay dividends before it becomes profitable, and as a result, your ability to achieve a return on your investment in the foreseeable future will depend on appreciation in the price of the Pubco Class A Common Stock.

 

The Pubco following the completion of the Business Combination does not intend to pay any cash dividends before it becomes profitable, which may not occur in the foreseeable future. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of the Pubco’s board of directors. Accordingly, you may need to rely on sales of the Pubco Class A Common Stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on your investment.

 

Upon completion of the Business Combination, the Pubco may raise substantial additional funding to support its business development.

 

Upon completion of the Business Combination, given the likelihood of high redemption in connection with the Business Combination, the Pubco may need substantial additional funding to support its business development. This need for capital is expected to persist and potentially increase following the proposed business combination, as the Pubco will assume and continue the Company’s business activities. In particular, the Pubco anticipates that its expenses will rise significantly in connection with ongoing and future activities, including advancing its provisions of autonomous marine technology, with specialization in developing and integrating AI-powered systems for marine operations. As a result, it is likely that the Pubco will need to raise substantial additional capital through a variety of potential sources, such as public or private equity offerings, debt financings, strategic collaborations, licensing agreements, or other funding arrangements. However, there can be no assurance that such funding will be available when needed or on terms acceptable to the Pubco. If the Pubco is unable to secure adequate financing on favorable terms, or at all, it may be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate its business development, including its research and development activities. These funding shortfalls could materially and adversely affect the Pubco’s business prospects, financial condition, and ability to achieve long-term growth.

98

 

 

Recommendation of the DTCS Board

 

The DTCS Board believes that the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting are in the best interest of DTCS’s shareholders and unanimously recommends that its shareholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Redomestication Merger Proposal, “FOR” the approval of each of the Stock Issuance Proposals, “FOR” the approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal, “FOR” the approval, on an advisory basis, of each of the separate Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, “FOR” the approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Director Election Proposal and “FOR” the approval of the Adjournment Proposal, if presented to the extraordinary general meeting.

 

For a description of the DTCS Board’s reasons for the approval of the Business Combination and the unanimous recommendation of the DTCS Board, see the subsection entitled “The Business Combination Proposal - The DTCS Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination”.

 

When you consider the recommendation of the DTCS Board in favor of approval of these proposals, you should keep in mind that, aside from their interests as shareholders, the Sponsor and DTCS’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of unaffiliated DTCS shareholders. Please see the subsection entitled “The Business Combination Proposal - Interests of Certain DTCS Persons in the Business Combination”.

 

Record Date; Who is Entitled to Vote

 

DTCS shareholders will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the extraordinary general meeting if they owned DTCS Ordinary Shares at the close of business on [ ], 2026, which is the “record date” for the extraordinary general meeting. Shareholders will have one vote for each DTCS Ordinary Share owned at the close of business on the record date on each Shareholder Proposal on which such DTCS Ordinary Share is entitled to vote. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. As of the close of business on the record date for the extraordinary general meeting, there were [*] DTCS Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, of which [ ] were issued and outstanding Public Shares.

 

The Sponsor and each director and each officer of DTCS have agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Business Combination, and to waive their redemption rights in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination with respect to any DTCS Ordinary Shares held by them. None of our Sponsor, directors or officers received separate consideration for their waiver of redemption rights. The Founder Shares held by the Sponsor and the DTCS independent directors will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share Redemption Price. As of the record date, the Sponsor and DTCS’s independent directors owned approximately [52.88]% of the issued and outstanding DTCS Ordinary Shares.

 

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

 

Proxies that are marked “abstain” will be treated as shares present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum on all matters, but they will not be treated as shares voted on the matter. Under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares with respect to non-discretionary matters unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank, or nominee. DTCS believes all the proposals presented to the shareholders will be considered non-discretionary and therefore your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares without your instruction. Proxies relating to “street name” shares that are returned to DTCS but marked by brokers as “not voted” are not considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on a particular proposal under Cayman Islands law, assuming a valid quorum is established.

 

99

 

 

Quorum and Vote of DTCS Shareholders

 

A quorum of DTCS shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the extraordinary general meeting if the holders of majority of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting are represented in person or by proxy (which would include presence at the extraordinary general meeting). Abstentions, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as a vote cast at the extraordinary general meeting and otherwise will have no effect on a particular proposal. Broker non-votes are not considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on a particular proposal under Cayman Islands law, assuming a valid quorum is established.

 

As of the record date for the extraordinary general meeting, [ ] DTCS Ordinary Shares would be required to achieve a quorum.

 

The Sponsor has agreed to vote all the Founder Shares and any Public Shares it may hold in favor of all the proposals being presented at the extraordinary general meeting. As of the record date, the Sponsor owned approximately [52.88]% of the issued and outstanding DTCS Ordinary Shares. The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a simple majority of the DTCS Ordinary Shares who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. As a result, DTCS would not need the Public Shares not held by affiliates, to be voted in favor of the Business Combination in order to approve the Business Combination Proposal (assuming all outstanding shares are voted). If only the minimum number of shares representing a quorum are voted, no additional shares would need to be voted in favor of the Business Combination in order to approve the Business Combination Proposal. The Business Combination was not structured to require the approval of at least a majority of DTCS’s unaffiliated shareholders because such a vote is not required under Cayman Islands law.

 

The Business Combination Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if the other Condition Precedent Proposals are not approved, the Business Combination Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of DTCS Ordinary Shares.

 

The approval of the Redomestication Merger Proposal requires a special resolution, being the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of DTCS Ordinary Shares, who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The Redomestication Merger Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if the other Condition Precedent Proposals are not approved, the Redomestication Merger Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of DTCS Ordinary Shares. In connection with DTCS’s IPO, DTCS entered into agreements with its officers and directors, and the Sponsor, pursuant to which each agreed to vote their DTCS Ordinary Shares in favor of Proposal 1 (The Business Combination Proposal). Such officers and directors and the Sponsor have agreed to vote their DTCS Ordinary Shares, as well as any DTCS Ordinary Shares they may purchase prior to the Extraordinary Meeting, in favor of the proposals. As a result, DTCS would not require any additional votes in favor of such proposals in order to have the Redomestication Merger Proposal approved.

 

The approval of the Stock Issuance Proposals require an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a simple majority of the DTCS Ordinary Shares, who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote. Prior to and as a condition of the Closing, assuming DTCS obtains shareholder approval of the proposals described in this proxy statement to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The Stock Issuance Proposals are conditioned on the approval of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if the other Condition Precedent Proposals are not approved, the Stock Issuance Proposals will have no effect, even if approved by holders of DTCS Ordinary Shares. DTCS would not need the Public Shares not held by affiliates, to be voted in favor of the Stock Issuance Proposals in order to approve the Stock Issuance Proposals (assuming all outstanding shares are voted). If only the minimum number of shares representing a quorum are voted, [ ] shares, no additional shares would need to be voted in favor of the Stock Issuance Proposals in order to approve the Stock Issuance Proposals.

 

The approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal requires a special resolution, being the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the DTCS Ordinary Share, who being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The Organizational Documents Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if the other Condition Precedent Proposals are not approved, the Organizational Documents Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of DTCS Ordinary Shares. As of the record date, the Sponsor owned approximately [52.88]% of the issued and outstanding DTCS Ordinary Shares. If only the minimum number of shares representing a quorum are voted, DTCS would not need the Public Shares not held by affiliates, to be voted in favor in order to approve the Organizational Documents Proposal.

 

100

 

 

The separate approval of each of the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, each of which is a non-binding vote, requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of holders of a simple majority of the DTCS Ordinary Share, who being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals is not conditioned upon any other proposal. As of the record date, the Sponsor owned approximately [52.88]% of the issued and outstanding DTCS Ordinary Shares. If only the minimum number of shares representing a quorum are voted, DTCS would not need the Public Shares not held by affiliates, to be voted in favor in order to approve each of the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals.

 

The approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a simple majority of the DTCS Ordinary Shares, who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The Incentive Plan Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. As of the record date, the

 

Sponsor owned approximately [52.88]% of the issued and outstanding DTCS Ordinary Shares. As a result, DTCS would not need the Public Shares not held by affiliates, to be voted in favor in order to approve the Incentive Plan Proposal (assuming all outstanding shares are voted). If only the minimum number of shares representing a quorum are voted, no additional shares would need to be voted in favor in order to approve the Incentive Plan Proposal.

 

The approval of the Director Election Proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a simple majority of the DTCS Ordinary Shares, who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The Director Election Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if the other Condition Precedent Proposals are not approved, the Director Election Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of DTCS Ordinary Shares. As of the record date, the Sponsor owned approximately [52.88]% of the issued and outstanding DTCS Ordinary Shares. As a result, DTCS would not need the Public Shares not held by affiliates, to be voted in favor in order to approve the Director Election Proposal (assuming all outstanding shares are voted). If only the minimum number of shares representing a quorum are voted, no additional shares would need to be voted in favor in order to approve the Director Election Proposal.

 

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a simple majority of the DTCS Ordinary Shares who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon any other proposal. As of the record date, the Sponsor owned approximately [52.88]% of the issued and outstanding DTCS Ordinary Shares. As a result, DTCS would not need the Public Shares not held by affiliates, to be voted in favor in order to approve the Adjournment Proposal (assuming all outstanding shares are voted). If only the minimum number of shares representing a quorum are voted, no additional shares would need to be voted in favor in order to approve the Adjournment Proposal.

 

Voting Your Shares

 

Each DTCS Ordinary Shares that you own in your name entitles you to one vote on each Shareholder Proposal on which such DTCS Ordinary Share is entitled to vote. Your proxy card shows the number of DTCS Ordinary Shares that you own.

 

If you are a record owner of your shares, there are two ways to vote your DTCS Ordinary Shares at the extraordinary general meeting:

 

101

 

 

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 DTCS Board “FOR” the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Redomestication Merger Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the each of the separate Stock Issuance Proposals, “FOR” the approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal, “FOR” the approval, on an advisory basis, of each of the separate Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, “FOR” the approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Director Election Proposal and “FOR” the approval of the Adjournment Proposal, in each case, if presented to the extraordinary general meeting. Votes received after a matter has been voted upon at the extraordinary general meeting will not be counted.

 

You Can Attend the Extraordinary General Meeting and Vote During the Meeting.

 

●You can attend the extraordinary general meeting and vote in person even if you have previously voted by submitting a proxy pursuant to any of the methods noted above.
   
●If your shares are registered in your name with VStock and you wish to attend the extraordinary general meeting virtually, go to [ ], enter the 12-digit control number included on your proxy card or notice of the extraordinary general meeting and click on the “Click here to preregister for the online meeting” link at the top of the page. Just prior to the start of the extraordinary general meeting you will need to log back into the extraordinary general meeting site using your control number. Pre-registration is recommended but is not required in order to attend virtually.
   
●Beneficial shareholders (those holding shares through a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other holder of record) who wish to attend the extraordinary general meeting must obtain a legal proxy by contacting their account representative at the bank, broker, or other nominee that holds their shares and e-mail a copy (a legible photograph is sufficient) of their legal proxy to [ ]. Beneficial shareholders who e-mail a valid legal proxy will be issued a 12-digit meeting control number that will allow them to register to attend and participate in the extraordinary general meeting. After contacting VStock, a beneficial holder will receive an e-mail prior to the extraordinary general meeting with a link and instructions for entering the extraordinary general meeting. Beneficial shareholders should contact VStock at least five (5) Business Days prior to the extraordinary general meeting date in order to ensure access.

 

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

 

Revoking Your Proxy

 

If you are an DTCS shareholder and you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by doing any one of the following:

 

●sending another proxy card with a later date;
   
●notifying Sam Zheng Sun, Chairman and Chief Executive Officers of DTCS, in writing before the extraordinary general meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or
   
●attending the extraordinary general meeting in person or virtually, revoking your proxy, and voting as described above.

 

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

 

Who Can Answer Your Questions about Voting Your Shares

 

If you are a shareholder and have any questions about how to vote or direct a vote in respect of your DTCS Ordinary Shares, you may call [ ], our proxy solicitor, by calling [ ], or banks and brokers can call collect at ], or by emailing [ ].

 

102

 

 

Redemption Rights

 

Pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, a Public Shareholder may request to redeem all or a portion of its Public Shares for cash in connection with the Business Combination. As a Public Shareholder, you will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if you:

 

(a)(i) hold Public Shares or (ii) hold Public Shares through DTCS Units and elect to separate your DTCS Units into the underlying Public Shares prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares;
   
(b)submit a written request to VStock, including the legal name, phone number and address of the beneficial owner of the Public Shares for which redemption is requested, that DTCS redeem all or a portion of your Public Shares for cash; and
   
(c)deliver the certificates for your Public Shares (if any) along with the redemption forms to VStock, physically or electronically through DTC.

 

Public Shareholders must complete the procedures for electing to redeem their Public Shares in the manner described above prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [ ], 2026 (two (2) Business Days before the initial scheduled date of the extraordinary general meeting) in order for their Public Shares to be redeemed.

 

Therefore, the election to exercise redemption rights occurs prior to the Redomestication Merger. DTCS expects redemptions to occur during the [third quarter of 2026]. For the purposes of the Cayman Constitutional Documents, the exercise of redemption rights will be treated as an election to have such Public Shares redeemed for cash and references in this proxy statement/prospectus to “redemption” or “redeeming” will be interpreted accordingly.

 

Public Shareholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of the Public Shares held by them, regardless of if or how they vote in respect of the Business Combination Proposal. If the Business Combination is abandoned, the Public Shares will be returned to the respective holder, broker or bank. If the Business Combination is consummated, and if a Public Shareholder properly exercises its redemption rights to redeem all or a portion of the Public Shares that it holds and timely delivers the certificates for its shares (if any) along with the redemption forms to VStock, DTCS will redeem such Public Shares for the Redemption Price, a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the pro rata portion of the Trust Account, calculated as of [two (2)] Business Days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. For illustrative purposes, as of the record date, this would have amounted to approximately $[ ] per issued and outstanding Public Share. If a Public Shareholder exercises its redemption rights in full, then it will be electing to exchange its Public Shares for cash and will no longer own Public Shares.

 

If you hold the shares in “street name”, you will have to coordinate with your broker to have your shares certificated or delivered electronically. Shares that have not been tendered (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be redeemed for cash. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through DTC’s deposit withdrawal at custodian (“DWAC”) system. VStock will typically charge the tendering broker [$100], and it would be up to the broker to decide whether to pass this cost on to the redeeming shareholder. In the event the Business Combination is not consummated this may result in an additional cost to shareholders for the return of their Public Shares.

 

Any request for redemption, once made, may be requested to be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests and thereafter, with DTCS’s consent, until the Redemption. However, no withdrawal will be permitted unless the DTCS Board determines (in its sole discretion) to permit the withdrawal of such redemption request (which it may do in whole or in part). Furthermore, if a holder of a Public Share delivers its share certificates (if any) along with the redemption forms in connection with an election of its redemption and subsequently decides prior to the applicable date not to elect to exercise such rights, it may simply request that DTCS permit the withdrawal of the redemption request and instruct VStock to return the certificate (physically or electronically). The holder can make such request by contacting VStock at the address or email address listed in this proxy statement/prospectus.

 

103

 

 

Any corrected or changed written exercise of redemption rights must be received by VStock prior to the vote taken on the Business Combination Proposal at the extraordinary general meeting. No request for redemption will be honored unless the holder’s Public Shares have been delivered (either physically or electronically) to VStock at least two (2) Business Days prior to the initial scheduled date of the extraordinary general meeting.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Public Shareholder, 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(d)(3) 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.

 

Our Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Business Combination and waive their redemption rights in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination with respect to any DTCS Ordinary Shares held by them. None of our Sponsor, directors or officers received separate consideration for their waiver of redemption rights. The Founder Shares held by our Sponsor and independent directors will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share Redemption Price. As of the record date, the Sponsor and the DTCS independent directors owned in aggregate approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding DTCS Ordinary Shares.

 

The closing price of Public Shares on [ ], 2026, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, was $[ ]. As of the record date, funds in the Trust Account totaled $[ ] and were comprised entirely of U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of [185] days or less or of money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, or approximately $[ ] per issued and outstanding Public Share.

 

Prior to exercising redemption rights, Public Shareholders should verify the market price of the Public 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. DTCS cannot assure its shareholders that they will be able to sell their Public Shares in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the Redemption Price, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when its shareholders wish to sell their Public Shares.

 

Appraisal Rights

 

No DTCS’s shareholder has appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination or the Redomestication Merger under Cayman Islands law or under the DGCL.

 

Proxy Solicitation

 

DTCS is soliciting proxies on behalf of the DTCS Board. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone or in person. DTCS and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other electronic means. DTCS will file with the SEC all scripts and other electronic communications as proxy soliciting materials. DTCS will bear the cost of the solicitation.

 

DTCS has engaged [ ] to assist in the solicitation process and will pay [ ] a fee of $[ ], plus disbursements.

 

DTCS 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. DTCS will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

 

DTCS Shareholders

 

As of the record date, there were [ ] DTCS Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, which include the 1,725,000 Founder Shares held by the Initial Shareholders, other than A.G.P., and the [1,693,909] Public Shares.

 

104

 

 

Potential Purchases of Public Shares

 

At any time prior to the extraordinary general meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material non-public information regarding DTCS or its securities, DTCS’s officers and directors and/or their affiliates may enter into a written plan to purchase DTCS’s securities pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act, and may engage in other public market purchases, as well as private purchases, of securities. In addition, at any time at or prior to the extraordinary general meeting, subject to applicable securities laws (including with respect to material nonpublic information), the Sponsor, DTCS’s or PGUS’s directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates may enter into transactions with investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire Public Shares, vote their Public Shares in favor of the Condition Precedent Proposals or not redeem their Public Shares. They have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. None of the funds in the Trust Account will be used to purchase Public Shares or warrants in such transactions.

 

The purpose of any such transactions could be to (1) increase the likelihood of obtaining shareholder approval of the Condition Precedent Proposals, (2) increase the amount of cash available to Pubco following the Business Combination. Any such purchases of our securities may result in the completion of the Business Combination which may not otherwise have been possible.

 

In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of DTCS and Pubco securities may be reduced and the number of beneficial holders of DTCS and Pubco securities may be reduced, which may make it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange.

 

The Sponsor, DTCS’s or PGUS’s directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates anticipate that they may identify the securityholders with whom they may pursue privately negotiated transactions by either the securityholders contacting DTCS or PGUS directly or by DTCS’s receipt of redemption requests submitted by securityholders (in the case of Public Shares) following the mailing of the proxy materials in connection with the Business Combination.

PROPOSAL NO. 1: THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL

 

Business Combination Agreement

 

This subsection of the proxy statement/prospectus describes the material provisions of the Business Combination Agreement, but does 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 to this proxy statement/prospectus. You are urged to read the Business Combination Agreement in its entirety 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 thereto made to each other as of the date of the Business Combination Agreement and/or other specific dates. The assertions and obligations 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 thereto in connection with negotiating the Business Combination Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Business Combination Agreement are also modified in part by the underlying disclosure schedules (the “Disclosure Schedules”), which is not filed publicly and which is subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to shareholders and were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Additionally, the representations and warranties of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement may or may not have been accurate as of any specific date and do not purport to be accurate as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. Accordingly, no person should rely on the representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement or the summaries thereof in this proxy statement/prospectus as characterizations of the actual state of facts about DTCS, PGUS, or any other matter.

 

Structure of the Business Combination

 

On the Signing Date, DTCS entered into the Business Combination Agreement with PGUS, Merger Sub and Purchaser, pursuant to which, among other things, subject to shareholder approval, following the Redomestication Merger, Merger Sub will merge with and into PGUS, with PGUS surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (the “Acquisition Merger”), resulting in a combined company whereby DTCS will become the sole stockholder of PGUS, and substantially all of the assets and the business of the combined company will be held by PGUS.

 

Prior to and as a condition of the Closing, assuming DTCS obtains shareholder approval of the proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus, pursuant to the Redomestication Merger, DTCS will change its jurisdiction of incorporation by the Redomestication Merger and continuing and domesticating as a Delaware corporation in accordance with Section 388 of the DGCL, as amended, and the Companies Act. For more information, see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Redomestication Merger Proposal”.

 

A majority of the directors who are not employees of PGUS did not retain an unaffiliated representative to act solely on behalf of unaffiliated security holders for purposes of negotiating the terms of the Business Combination or prepare a report concerning the approval of the Business Combination.

 

The following diagrams illustrate in simplified terms the current structure of DTCS and PGUS and the expected structure of Pubco immediately following the Closing.

Based on a Redemption Price of $11.05, and after giving effect to the adjustments in clauses (b) and (c) above, an aggregate of 105,649,826 shares of Pubco Common Stock will be paid to the PGUS stockholders as Merger Consideration at the Closing, comprised of 19,665,223 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock and 85,984,603 shares of Pubco Class B Common Stock.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such holder fails to perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws or loses the right to appraisal under the DGCL, then such holder’s Dissenting Shares will be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive their Pro Rata Share of the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, upon surrender of the certificate or certificates representing such shares (or an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) and the delivery of the Transmittal Documents as provided in the Business Combination Agreement.

PIPE Subscription Agreements

 

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, no PIPE Financings have been consummated.

 

Background of the Business Combination

 

On July 26, 2024, DTCS consummated the initial public offering of 6,900,000 units, which included the exercise in full by the underwriters of their over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 900,000 units on July 25, 2024. Each unit consists of one ordinary share and one right. Each nine rights entitle the holder thereof to receive one ordinary share at the closing of a business combination. The units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $69,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of our initial public offering on July 26, 2024, DTCS consummated the private placement with the Sponsor, of 206,900 units at a price of $10.00 per private unit, generating total gross proceeds of $2,069,000. A total of $69,000,000 of the net proceeds from our initial public offering were deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of our public shareholders, with Wilmington Trust National Association acting as trustee.

 

The Units of DTCS started to be listed on The Nasdaq Global Market and began trading under the ticker symbol “DTSQU” on July 25, 2024. On September 12, 2024, DTCS announced that the holders of the Units may elect to separately trade the underlying component securities of the Units commencing on September 16, 2024.

 

On July 26, 2024, DTCS completed the sale of 6,900,000 DTCS Units, including the issuance of 900,000 DTCS Units as a result of the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option, in its initial public offering.

 

Prior to the consummation of the DTCS IPO, neither DTCS, nor anyone on its behalf, contacted any prospective target business or held any substantive discussions, formal or otherwise, with respect to a transaction with DTCS.

 

After completion of the DTCS IPO, DTCS’s officers and directors commenced an active search for prospective businesses or assets to acquire in its initial business combination. DTCS management reviewed self-generated ideas from DTCS’s management team, board, and advisory group; explored ideas with the underwriters from the IPO; considered transactions sourced through various investment banking and advisory firms; and contacted, and were contacted by, a number of individuals and entities with respect to numerous business combination opportunities, including financial advisors and companies in a diverse range of sectors. DTCS’s officers and directors and their affiliates actively searched for and brought business combination targets to DTCS’s attention.

 

In evaluating potential businesses and assets to acquire, DTCS, together with the Sponsor and their advisors, surveyed the landscape of potential acquisition opportunities based on their knowledge of, and familiarity with, the M&A marketplace. In general, DTCS looked for acquisition targets that were of a size relevant to the public marketplace and positioned, operationally and financially, to be successful as a public company. DTCS further looked for those transactions that it believed, if entered into, would be well-received by the public markets. At the time of the DTCS IPO on July 26, 2024, DTCS described its general criteria and guidelines in evaluating prospective targets. While not exhaustive, DTCS detailed the following criteria and guidelines, among other things, that it believes is important in evaluating prospective targets:

 

● Established businesses with long-term financial visibility. We will seek to acquire a target that has already generated, or has the near-term potential to generate, strong and stable cash flow, with predictable and recurring revenue streams.

 

129

 

 

● Defensible market position. We intend to seek target businesses with strong positions in an industry where they have disruptive or leading competitive technology, distinctive brand equity and/or product competencies.

 

● Growth opportunities through capital investment. We intend to seek candidates who may be at a point of achieving high growth and require additional expertise or capital to help drive their further expansion.

 

● Talented and incentivized management team with a proven track record. We will focus on candidates with a strong and experienced management team that has a proven track record of driving revenue growth, enhancing profitability and generating strong free cash flow. We will seek to partner with a management team that is well-incentivized and aligned in interest to create enduring shareholder value, with the ambition to take advantage of the improved liquidity and additional capital that can come from a successful U.S. public listing. We expect that the operating and financial abilities of our management and board will help potential target companies to unlock opportunities for future growth and enhanced profitability.

 

● Benefit from being a public company. We intend to pursue a business combination with a company that we believe will benefit from being publicly traded and can effectively utilize the broader access to capital and public profile associated with being a public company. We expect that the access to the public capital markets could allow such a target business to accelerate its growth, thereby enhancing its ability to pursue accretive acquisitions, high-return capital projects, and/or strengthen its balance sheet and recruit and retain key employees through the use of publicly-traded equity compensation.

 

● Benefit uniquely from our capabilities. We will seek to acquire a business where the collective capabilities of our management and sponsor can be leveraged to tangibly improve the operations and market position of the target.

 

● Attractive risk-adjusted returns. We intend to acquire a target that we believe can offer attractive risk-adjusted returns on the investments of our shareholders.

 

The proposed Business Combination was the result of DTCS’s multi-faceted expertise, investing and operating experience, broad network of relationships, and focus on creating transaction opportunities that met DTCS’s articulated investment criteria. The terms of the Business Combination Agreement were the result of extensive due diligence and negotiations between DTCS and PGUS (and their respective affiliates and advisors).

 

DTCS’s Search Process

 

Prior to the consummation of the IPO on July 26, 2024, neither DTCS, nor anyone on its behalf, contacted any prospective target business or had any substantive discussions, formal or otherwise, with respect to any potential business combination transaction with DTCS. After the completion of the DTCS IPO and consistent with DTCS’s business purpose, DTCS’s directors and management team commenced an active, targeted search for an initial set of potential business combination targets, leveraging the Sponsor’s network of relationships and extensive investing experience, as well as the prior experience and network of DTCS’s directors and management team. The DTCS Articles contain provisions waiving the corporate opportunities doctrine on an ongoing basis, providing that DTCS renounces any interest or expectancy in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for DTCS, the Sponsor and its affiliates, about which a director of DTCS and/or officer of DTCS who is director, officer or member of the Sponsor or its affiliate acquires knowledge. DTCS is not aware of any such corporate opportunities not being offered to DTCS and does not believe that waiver of the corporate opportunities doctrine has created any conflicts of interest, has affected DTCS’s search for an acquisition target, or will materially affect DTCS’s ability to complete a Business Combination.

The following is a brief description of the background of DTCS’s search for and discussions with various potential target companies. The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all opportunities initially evaluated or explored but sets forth the discussions and steps that were taken in reaching the definitive Business Combination Agreement.

 

Shortly after the consummation of its IPO on July 26, 2024, DTCS commenced the process of identifying potential business combination targets. Leveraging the networks of its management team and the Sponsor, DTCS reviewed approximately 25 potential candidates in various sectors. DTCS conducted a weekly internal meeting to review all new and existing opportunities in order to more efficiently evaluate each potential target. These meetings included discussions of the target profiles, recent contacts with their principals, and any new diligence or other information gathered since the prior meetings. Between July 2024 and October 2025, DTCS evaluated the initial pool of candidates and signed non-disclosure agreements (each, an “NDA”) with 15 potential target companies, not including PGUS. DTCS signed an LOI with two of these targets (excluding PGUS).

 

DTCS did not agree to terms with any of the potential targets other than PGUS, as described below.

As to Target L, the material terms of the LOI included a contemplated valuation of $200 million. Target L operated in a sector with favorable industry fundamentals and an attractive conceptual thesis. However, following the completion of preliminary due diligence, DTCS determined that Target L was at a relatively early stage of corporate development. Specifically, it lacked the financial and legal compliance infrastructure expected of a qualified target. Implementing such systems would have required at least six months — too lengthy given DTCS’s timing needs. In addition, Target L had several convertible note agreements in place, meaning it had a large number of creditors, each of whom had the right to convert its notes into equity within the foreseeable future. All of them would need to be addressed or settled prior to any business combination — a task that DTCS determined to be challenging, time consuming and difficult.

 

Accordingly, after evaluation, DTCS determined to discontinue consideration of Target L as a potential business combination target.

 

As to Target O, the material terms of the LOI included an open ended valuation, to be agreed by the parties in subsequent negotiations. Following the execution of the NDA, Target O proposed a valuation of US$1 billion for the proposed combination. In addition, Target O sought a binding commitment from DTCS to secure an additional US$20 million in PIPE financing concurrently with the de-SPAC transaction.

 

DTCS’s directors evaluated these terms and concluded that satisfying both conditions — a valuation of US$1 billion and a firm commitment to raise US$20 million in PIPE proceeds on terms acceptable to all parties — would present significant challenges. Specifically, achieving such a valuation would require exceptional financial and operational metrics that, based on the information available to DTCS, could not be reasonably supported at that time. Furthermore, obtaining a binding commitment for a PIPE of US$20 million under the timeline and conditions demanded by Target O was determined to be commercially impractical and overly challenging. Based on these factors, DTCS ultimately determined not to pursue a business combination with Target O.

 

Business Combination Timeline

 

The following chronology summarizes the key meetings and events that led to the signing of the term sheet, Business Combination Agreement and other Transaction Documents with PGUS, but it does not purport to catalogue every conversation among representatives of DTCS, PGUS, and their respective advisors.

 

On January 13, 2025, PGUS and CTM executed an Engagement Agreement, now expired, whereby CTM was engaged as PGUS’s corporate advisor with respect to PGUS’s interest in combining with a special purpose acquisition company listed on the Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange.

 

On February 12, 2025, PGUS and A.G.P. executed the M&A Advisory Agreement.

 

Considering PGUS as a Potential Target

 

A.G.P. introduced Sam Zheng Sun, CEO of DTCS, to PGUS via email on April 15, 2025.

 

Initial Interactions with PGUS

 

On April 16, 2025, Sam Zheng Sun from DTCS met with Steven Schinko, corporate counsel to PGUS, along with Shawn Mesaros of CTM, the then corporate advisor to PGUS, and Adam Kinzner from A.G.P., the financial advisor to PGUS, through a Zoom conference call. This was an introductory call, during which the PGUS representatives indicated their interest in continuing discussions on an expedited basis.

 

As these initial interactions occurred, the DTCS team determined that it was prudent to continue discussions with PGUS with regards to a potential business combination, believing the biotechnology industry, and more specifically the stem cell research and acute liver failure treatment application area, was promising from a business perspective. The parties exchanged a fully executed NDA on April 23, 2025.

 

Negotiations and Signing of Business Combination Agreement

 

On April 21, 2025, Sam Zheng Sun received an email from Daniel Chiu, the Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of PGUS, that attached a draft term sheet which was shared with Loeb. Mr. Sun responded to Mr. Chiu with a due diligence request list. The draft term sheet indicated a valuation of PGUS of $1,489,800,000. In addition, this draft term sheet proposed a post-closing equity incentive pool equal to 10% to 20% of the surviving company’s outstanding stock immediately after closing. Also, this draft term sheet contemplated that each party would bear its own expenses unless and until definitive agreements were signed, after which certain transaction expenses could be borne by the surviving company subject to milestones, payment triggers and caps to be set forth in the definitive agreements.

 

The original asking price in the April 21, 2025 term sheet turned out to be final agreed valuation, as further described below. To summarize, PGUS would not proceed with a transaction unless the agreed total consideration was no less than $1,489,800,000. From DTCS’s perspective, this valuation would be reasonable only if and when DTCS had completed its due diligence to its satisfaction on all matters, including as to PGUS’s total potential addressable market, as well as to the quality of PGUS’s research and development and regulatory teams and as to its FDA and regulatory status and readiness, particularly as to its lead therapeutic candidate, PGSXC-L1A. DTCS’s rationale was that an early stage biotechnology company must have a substantial total addressable market, it must have high quality personnel and its regulatory path must have a reasonable probability of succeeding, in order to justify any meaningful valuation. During the course of discussions between the parties, DTCS did seek to negotiate down the valuation, but without success. However, during the course of discussions, DTCS was able to determine the total addressable market for acute liver failure treatments, and it also was able to conclude that PGUS met the two criteria (management quality and regulatory readiness) that were critical factors for DTCS, and these factors were the key factors that enabled DTCS management and its Board to conclude that PGUS’s requested valuation was reasonable. In addition, DTCS and PGUS negotiated a provision whereby the value of rollover PGUS warrants and stock options would be credited against the full target valuation, such that, after giving effect to this provision the Merger Consideration actually paid to the PGUS stockholders at the Closing would be reduced by the agreed value of such warrants and stock options.

 

On April 22, 2025, Mr. Sun had a Zoom call with Steven Schinko, Shawn Mesaros of CTM, and Adam Kinzner from A.G.P. to briefly discuss the term sheet.

 

On April 23, 2025, Mr. Schinko, on behalf of PGUS, sent a draft letter of intent (“LOI”) and a link to the PGUS data room to Sam Zheng Sun via email. The data room contained, among other things, certain projections that were prepared by PGUS and a valuation report and opinion dated February 28, 2025 (“Valuation Opinion”) prepared by Roma Appraisals Limited (“Roma”) prepared at the direction of PGUS, both of which are further described below (see “Company Projections” and “Valuation Report and Opinion of Roma Appraisals Limited”). The projections and Valuation Opinion concluded with a valuation of $1,489,000,000. DTCS reviewed these documents, along with a company business presentation and other documents in the data room, starting on April 23, 2025. DTCS gave access to the data room to the DTCS Board on April 24, 2025. The projections contemplated that PGUS would begin generating limited commercial revenue from PGSXC-L1A in 2025 and 2026. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, PGUS has not generated any commercial revenue from PGSXC-L1A, clinical trials for PGSXC-L1A have not commenced, and PGSXC-L1A remains in preclinical development. In addition, the projections and the Valuation opinion did not contemplate any revenue from PGUS’s cosmetics business.

 

DTCS and PGUS had several rounds of phone discussions on the valuation and transaction structure outlined in the LOI. DTCS negotiated on the valuation, and PGUS insisted on its original valuation of $1,489,000,000, and referred to the Valuation Opinion to support their request. The DTCS team reviewed the Valuation Opinion and projections, and as a common practice with valuing pre-revenue companies, DTCS also focused significantly on the viability of the product, the TAM (total addressable market), the target’s FDA status and readiness, the quality of its key management, and other similar metrics applicable to pre-revenue companies, to validate the soundness of the valuation.

The DTCS team determined that the most critical elements of the valuation of PGUS are the total addressable market size of the treatment, the preparedness of PGUS to file for applicable FDA approvals, and the quality of its key management team. The DTCS team assessed, based on available third-party research, that the estimated global total addressable market size of acute liver failure to be between $2 billion and $3 billion, growing to between $4 billion and $6 billion in the next decade. DTCS also determined that the total addressable market size of Exosome was estimated to be about $500 million, growing to be over $2 billion in the next decade. The DTSC team also reviewed other comparable public companies for references of valuation and potential success. One specific example of comparable company is Madrigal Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: MDGL), which during 2023 was a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical firm and did not yet have an approved product on the market. MDGL had a market cap of around $1.2 billion for the most of 2022. When the market anticipated MDGL to receive FDA approval for treatment for Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH, a form of liver disease) at the end of 2022, the market cap increased to nearly $5 billion. The DTCS team presented to the DTCS Board that the path to FDA approval is the most critical element that impacts the valuation of PGUS.

 

On or about April 28, 2025, the DTSC Board instructed the DTSC team to continue negotiations based on the valuation of $1,489,800,000, with the condition that the DTSC team engage in a comprehensive follow up diligence process with the objective of gaining reasonable confidence that PGUS has both a high quality team behind it and an executable plan to gain relevant FDA approvals.

 

On April 28, 2025, DTCS requested an in person meeting with PGUS management; the purpose of this meeting would be for DTCS to gain insight as to where PGUS stood on the three criteria described above. Adam Kinzer from A.G.P. replied that PGUS would only meet with DTCS if and after the parties signed an LOI.

 

On May 3, 2025, DTCS delivered to PGUS a new draft of the LOI that retained the $1,489,800,000 valuation but added that the valuation would be subject to confirmatory due diligence and mutual agreement. This draft also provided that DTCS’s deferred IPO fees and deferred advisor fees would be paid from closing proceeds, subject to a mutually agreed cap. In addition, the DTCS May 3, 2025 draft narrowed the proposed equity incentive pool to 15% of the outstanding Pubco equity as of the Closing (this revised percentage was agreed and retained in the executed May 21, 2025 LOI).

 

As to indemnification and survival of representations and warranties, PGUS’s initial LOI draft proposed that there would be no post-closing indemnification obligations and no survival of representations, warranties or pre-closing covenants, subject to exceptions for fraud or gross negligence. DT Cloud’s May 3, 2025 draft revised the provision to state that whether Company indemnities or a share holdback would be required would be determined after DT Cloud completed diligence, with the parties’ mutual objective being that no post-closing indemnity or holdback would be required if diligence was satisfactory. The executed May 21, 2025 LOI retained that formulation. The BCA ultimately provided that representations and warranties would not survive closing and that covenants would survive only to the extent they were to be performed after closing.

 

As DTCS continued to seek to negotiate the valuation and other transaction terms, the parties focused on the Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”) process, intellectual property and other diligence matters. The parties also touched upon the costs of a deSPAC transaction, and discussed several potential avenues for sharing the transaction related expenses of the Business Combination. Such costs included trust extension payments as well as legal, accounting and other fees. The parties briefly explored the possibility of a third party investor providing interim financing that would be paid over to DTCS to reimburse certain DTCS costs, but after several ideas were proposed, the parties could not reach agreement with any such outside investor on terms that were acceptable to all parties, and there was no additional follow up by any party; therefore these third party financing discussions terminated at the concept stage.

 

The parties settled on an arrangement whereby PGUS agreed to reimburse certain of DTCS’s transaction related expenses, as follows: (a) PGUS would pay to DTCS or its designee an amount not to exceed $200,000 upon the submission of the initial confidential S-4 registration statement with the SEC, and (b) at the Closing, Pubco would purchase an aggregate of 357,142 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock from the Sponsor for an aggregate price $2,500,000 (i.e., $7.00 per share). PGUS and CTM assured DTCS that PGUS would have the funds necessary to complete the transaction as per the above.

 

With the issue of expenses resolved to the satisfaction of DTCS, and based on the diligence available, DTCS agreed to the PGUS valuation of $1,489,800,000, and the parties signed a nonbinding LOI on May 21, 2025. In addition to the terms described in the immediately preceding paragraph, the LOI (a) contemplated a valuation of PGUS at $1,489,000, less the value of existing warrants and options that would be rolled over into Pubco warrants and options at the Closing; (b) provided that the Merger Consideration would be payable in Pubco Class A Common Stock and Pubco Class B Common Stock with a per share value equal to the price at which each Parent Ordinary Share is redeemed in connection with the EGM; and (c) and contained other terms and conditions customary in an LOI for a deSPAC transaction.

 

On or about May 29, 2025, Sam Sun and Kevin Chen of DTCS, Daniel Chiu of PGUS, Steven Schinko, counsel to PGUS, Adam Kinzner [and *] of A.G.P., Shawn Mesaros of CTM, Ted Paraskevas and Rongwei Xie of Loeb, and Marc Ross and Sharon Carroll of SRFC held an all hands organizational zoom to discuss general timing and allocation of responsibilities for the signing of the Business Combination Agreement. The parties agreed that SRFC would prepare and circulate the first draft of the Business Combination Agreement.

 

On June 18, 2025, SRFC circulated its first draft of the Business Combination Agreement. SRFC followed up with drafts of certain ancillary documents on July 3, 2025. The June 18, 2025 draft provided for a valuation of $1,489,800,000, to be paid in the form of Pubco Common Stock, valued at the Redemption Price. This draft also provided that existing PGUS warrants and stock options would be rolled over into PubCo warrants and stock options on equivalent terms.

 

As counsel worked on the Business Combination Agreement, DTCS focused on its diligence of the PGUS regulatory situation. On June 24, 2025, Mr. Sun emailed Mr. Schinko with a list of product development and FDA process related questions. Mr. Schinko, on behalf of PGUS, responded on June 26, 2026, and his response included an update to the effect that PGUS’s target for IND approval would be delayed to the third quarter of 2026. Mr. Sun followed up with additional questions, and Mr. Schinko explained that this delay was largely due to internal challenges with PGUS’s contract research organization.

 

On July 3, 2025, Loeb circulated its first markup of the initial SRFC Business Combination draft. This markup reflected discussions between DTCS and Loeb regarding the treatment of existing outstanding warrants and stock options. DTCS’s position was that if these warrants and stock options were to roll over into Pubco warrants and options at the closing, then there would need to be downward adjustment to the Merger Consideration to reflect the value of these rollover securities. Alternatively, PGUS could accelerate those warrants and stock options prior to the Closing so that all warrant and option holders would be stockholders who would share in the full $1,489,800,000 purchase price. DTCS would not, however agree to rolling over these PGUS warrants and stock options and also paying the full valuation at the same time.

 

On July 15, 2025, SRFC circulated a new draft of the Business Combination Agreement. This draft followed up on the issue of how to address the existing PGUS warrants and stock options, and reflected the agreement of the principals to have them roll over into Pubco warrants and options, with a downward adjustment to the Merger Consideration reflecting their mutually agreed value. Specifically, the draft provided that the Merger Consideration would be $1,489,800,000, less (A) (i) the aggregate number of shares of PGUS Class A Common Stock, on an as-exercised basis, under the outstanding PGUS warrants as of the Closing, multiplied by (ii) the Redemption Price less the applicable exercise price of such warrants and less (B) (i) the aggregate number of shares of PGUS Class A Common Stock, on an as-exercised basis, under the outstanding PGUS stock options multiplied by (ii) the Redemption Price less the applicable exercise price of such Company Stock Option. The final executed Business Combination Agreement also contained this adjustment provision. Because the Redemption Price will not be determined until shortly before the Closing, the actual amount of the deduction based on clauses (A) and (B) above will be confirmed once the Redemption Price has been confirmed or otherwise mutually agreed by the parties.

 

DTCS continued to request additional disclosure on the FDA diligence status from PGUS, specifically DTCS wanted PGUS to advise as to the date that PGUS would receive the Form IND. PGUS responded that they felt very confident about the progress of the FDA approval process; however, PGUS did not provide any additional evidence to the satisfaction of DTCS. This became a substantive diligence issue in the eyes of DTCS.

 

On July 20, 2025, Mr. Sun emailed Mr. Schinko to inform him that the DTCS board has asked its team to discontinue discussions with PGUS. He further requested that the upcoming weekly call be cancelled. As of that date the DTCS team still had no access to PGUS’s FDA team and no satisfactory visibility into its FDA applications. Given that DTSC team had determined that FDA readiness is a critical element of PGUS’s valuation, Mr. Sun elected to terminate the negotiations.

 

On July 20, 2025 in response to Mr. Sun’s email of that same day, A.G.P. emailed Mr. Sun with an attachment that summarized PGUS’s FDA approval strategy, its multi-revenue stream approach and commercial opportunities.

 

On July 23, 2025, DTCS sent an email notice to PGUS that it was formally terminating the LOI. DTCS did not provide PGUS with any details relating to its decision.

 

From July 23, 2025 until August 27, 2025, DTCS investigated and pursued other potential business combination targets.

 

The parties re-connected on August 27, 2025, when Mr. Sun reached out to Mr. Chiu to schedule a visit to the PGUS lab to give PGUS another consideration.

 

On September 4, 2025, in preparation for his upcoming on-site visit to PGUS, Mr. Sun provided PGUS with an initial diligence request comprised of document requests and regulatory questions.

 

On September 5, 2025, Mr. Sun visited PGUS’s premises. He met with Mr. Daniel Chiu and Dr. Eugene Brandon and Dr. Wei Fan, who are the head scientists and FDA liaison for PGUS. During this meeting, the parties discussed matters relating to PGUS’s scientific research and its road map to FDA approval. The discussions were verbal in nature, with the PGUS team discussing their professional backgrounds key milestones, project plans, Mr. Chiu, Dr. Brandon and Dr. Fan gave Mr. Sun a tour of the PGUS lab, and presented Mr. Sun with detailed work done so far, as well as planned in the future, with regards to the FDA IND application. Mr. Chiu and Dr. Brandon and Dr. Fan gave Mr. Sun a high level update on PGUS’s continued collaboration with the University of Southern California (“USC”), with which PGUS entered into a sponsored research agreement on July 1, 2025.

On September 6, 2025, PGUS shared a document dated September 3, 2025, from the Company’s regulatory CRO, Clinipace, Inc. d/b/a Caidya, in which Caidya represented that “because this product candidate has reasonable precedents, with extensive scientific literature to support its safety and efficacy, we do not foresee any issues with the planned timeline at this time. Thus, (1) all major activities are shown in the timeline, and (2) notwithstanding potential issues arising, all of these activities can be carried out in parallel and within the time frames illustrated.”

 

On September 7, 2025, Mr. Chiu emailed Mr. Sun to thank him for his site visit, and to add that he would forward Mr. Sun’s diligence request to Dr. Eugene Brandon and Dr. Wei Fan who would provide responses on behalf of PGUS.

 

On September 15, 2025, PGUS provided Mr. Sun with responses to its diligence questions, including an in-progress draft of a Pre-IND meeting request to be submitted to the FDA. Based on the responses to the diligence questions and discussions with counsel, DTCS determined that the Company’s progress toward an IND submission warranted continued discussions toward a transaction, with the types of regulatory risks commonly seen with pre-clinical biopharmaceutical companies.

 

On September 16, 2025, Mr. Sun informed Loeb that the parties had agreed to modify the deal terms by having the Pubco issue warrants to the Sponsor at the Closing.

 

On September 17, 2025, Mr. Sun emailed PGUS and SGP to confirm that DTCS was satisfied with the preparedness and level of disclosure provided to it by PGUS.

 

The parties and their counsel then resumed their work on the transaction documents.

 

On September 18, 2025, Loeb prepared a list of open items as of immediately prior to DTC’s July 23, 2025 termination of the LOI. DTCS acknowledged the list and instructed Loeb to proceed with the deal documentation.

 

On September 22, 2025, Loeb informed Ogier (Cayman counsel DTCS) that the parties have agreed to have their counsel resume their work on the transaction documents.

 

On September 25, 2025, Mr. Sun informed Loeb that the parties have agreed that (a) as of the Closing, Pubco will reimburse the Sponsor for its transaction related expenses up to a maximum amount of $2 million, and (b) Pubco will issue warrants to the Sponsor at the Closing. Loeb acknowledged these instructions and informed Mr. Sun that Loeb will conduct an analysis of whether and how the agreement of the parties on the sponsor warrants can be properly structured.

 

On September 25, 2025, Loeb circulated a new draft of the Business Combination Agreement, including a markup showing changes from the prior draft of July 2025, which included DTCS’s proposed “Sponsor Warrant”, a form of warrant whereby DTCS could obtain shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock at a set exercise price at Closing,.

 

On September 30, 2025, Loeb circulated a markup of the prior SRFC draft of the Insider Support Agreement.

 

On October 1, 2025, SRFC circulated the next turn of the Business Combination Agreement, with a proposed share amount of 1,931,000 underlying the Sponsor Warrant, which was also the number of shares that Sponsor owned in DTCS at such time.

 

On October 3, 2025, Loeb sent to SRFC a list of intellectual property diligence issues. The principals and their counsel had several discussions regarding these issues. In particular, Loeb noted that the IP License from PrimeGen Bio LLC (PGB) to PGUS effective July 14, 2025 (“PGB Patent License”) needed protections added to (1) require Licensor to maintain ownership of the Licensed Patents during the license term since the definition of Licensed Patents included the proviso “to the extent owned by Licensor” and (2) prevent the PG License Agreement from being terminated by PGB upon a Change of Control (as defined in the license) of PGUS. These issues were addressed as a closing condition requiring amendment of the license to provide that PGB not voluntarily transfer any Licensed Patents in a manner materially adverse to PGUS without PGUS’s written consent. Loeb also expressed concern as to control regarding the patents in-licensed from Rutgers University. The Rutgers License was terminated as of December 22, 2025. Loeb expressed concern as to the effect of the Stem Med Subordination and Non-Disturbance Agreement referenced in the PGB Patent License, section 15. As set forth in the Disclosure Schedules and Section 2 of the Patent Non-Disturbance Agreement, Stem Med, as “Lender”, covenants that the Licensee’s rights under the Patent License Agreement shall not be terminated, diminished, or interfered with by Lender’s enforcement of its rights under the Loan Documents. Last, Loeb requested clarification as to whether there exists an agreement between PGB and Harvardiana Consulting, Inc. permitting PGB to provide an exclusive license to PGUS for the patent families jointly owned by PGB and Harvardiana Consulting, Inc. so Harvardiana could not independently exploit (directly or through a third-party license) those patents jointly owned. PGUS replied that the patent families involved relate to germline stem cell banking and maturation (PCT/US2010/055706 and PCT/US2010/055711) and are not material to PGUS’s lead product candidate, PGSXC-L1A.

 

On October 8, 2025, Loeb circulated a revised draft of the Business Combination Agreement and a draft of the Company Support Agreement. The revisions to the Business Combination Agreement reflected certain Cayman specific Cayman legal edits and added a specific provision relating to the Expense Advancement (which in this draft was set at a maximum of $200,000). This draft also included several edits relating to dollar thresholds for disclosure schedule purposes and for covenants prior to the Closing. Loeb also bracketed the Sponsor Warrants provision, as the specific structure of these proposed warrants was still under review.

 

On October 10, 2025, Loeb circulated another revised draft of the Business Combination Agreement, this time containing comments from its FDA specialist, and a markup of the PGUS disclosure schedules; along with a draft of a lock-up agreement and charter documents. The FDA regulatory comments included provisions seeking confirmation of Company representations as to the expected regulatory development milestones including manufacturing, animal studies, the lack of need for an INTERACT meeting with FDA, the status of the then-planned pre-IND meeting with FDA, anticipated IND submission target date, clinical trial target dates, BLA submission target date range, and potential requests for RMAT designation, Orphan Drug Designation, Priority Review and Accelerated Approval.

 

On October 13, 2025 Loeb circulated an issues list, which included structural questions regarding the warrants to be issued to the Sponsor at Closing.

 

On October 14, 2026, Mr. Chiu wrote an email to Mr. Sun and other DTCS management with copies to SRFC and A.G.P., stating that he would like counsel to continue working on the transaction documents, but that his and PGUS’s top priority was to secure financing for the unexpected additional cost related to this merger, such as the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) filing etc.; and that PGUS was working expediently with several interested funders to secure the financing.

Mr. Chiu then added that PGUS had made a submission to the FDA on October 8, 2025, and received the pre-IND Number 009936 on October 9, 2025. A pre-IND meeting with FDA was requested to occur around the first part of December 2025, if the Government shutdown did not affect the FDA meeting schedule.

 

On October 16, 2025, Loeb circulated a markup of the SRFC draft Pubco Equity Incentive Plan.

 

Starting October 13, 2025, counsel had several discussions regarding how to structure the granting of sponsor warrants to the Sponsor at the Closing. Loeb raised several alternatives to the sponsor warrants, including an earnout structure with a lower Closing valuation than what was stated in the LOI, which was rejected by PGUS and its advisors.

 

On January 8, 2026, Mr. Chiu emailed the group to inform them that PGUS had secured financing. The financing referred to in Mr. Chiu’s communication was a revolving line of credit entered into by PGUS with East West Bank on January 5, 2026, providing for borrowings of up to $2.0 million, bearing interest at a variable rate with an initial stated rate of 5.168% per annum, and maturing on January 5, 2028. On May 1, 2026, the maximum borrowing amount under the facility was increased to $2.5 million. Following this update, DTCS and PGUS resumed negotiating outstanding items in the BCA.

 

On January 14, 2026, Loeb and DTCS had a zoom call to discuss a PGUS proposal that included an earnout structure for the PGUS Stockholders. Loeb countered with a suggestion that, instead of the Sponsor Warrant, Pubco could offer a warrant with a pre-determined number of warrant shares at a pre-determined exercise price that would be distributed at the Closing to those DTCS Public Shareholders that elected not to redeem their Public Shares and to the Sponsor and its affiliates. The total number of warrants would be distributed on a pro rata basis among them in accordance with their respective ownership percentage of DTCS Ordinary Shares as of a time immediately prior to the Closing.

 

Mr. Sun proposed this structure to Mr. Chiu of PGUS on January 14, 2026, and PGUS agreed to this structure in principle, as an alternative to the sponsor warrants. Details such as the warrant exercise price, the exercise date and duration of the warrants, and whether a cashless exercise feature would be included were worked out by the principals and their counsel, with the signed Business Combination Agreement containing the final agreed terms, including a $2.00 warrant exercise price, an exercise date starting on the six month anniversary of the Closing Date and for a period of eighteen months thereafter, and standard cashless warrant terms. These are the “Non-Redemption Warrants” defined and described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

 

Counsel were instructed to complete the Business Combination Agreement and all ancillary documents on an expedited basis.

 

From January 15, 2026 through February 2, 2026, counsel worked together to finalize the Business Combination Agreement and the ancillary documents. DTCS also resumed its diligence on the Company’s progress with the FDA. During this period, parties also negotiated third party expenses, primarily as to milestones at which PGUS pay for business combination related expenses incurred by DTCS, and also as to the amounts and limits for PGUS’s reimbursement for such expenses.

 

On January 23, 2026, PGUS provided a copy of an FDA memorandum, dated January 8, 2026, of the December 17, 2025, pre-IND meeting held between PGUS and the FDA. The meeting memo addressed ten (10) questions posed by the Company in its meeting request, and FDA’s preliminary responses, covering the following topics:

 

(1)Testing methods used or under development for product identity, purity and safety; FDA requested additional information to be included in the IND.
(2)The expansion potential of the hUC-MSC cells as related to FDA’s draft Guidance on safety testing of human allogeneic cells; FDA stated that the hUC-MSC cells should be subjected to cell safety testing as recommended in the draft Guidance.
(3)The immunogenicity of PGSXC-L1A; FDA requested that the IND contain data, from the Company’s own studies or from published scientific literature, to support that PGSXC-L1A has minimum immunogenicity in host.
(4)The appropriateness of the planned pig studies to support the acceptability of the dosage proposed for first-in-human studies; FDA agreed that the planned “S2” study appears adequately designed to support the first-in-human study and suggested certain refinements to the plan.
(5)The adequacy of the proposed dosing plan for the “E3” humanized mouse study; FDA agreed that the proposed dose levels appear acceptable, and provided additional comments for information to be included in the IND.
(6)Whether the overall nonclinical pharmacology program would be acceptable for use in pursuing a potential indication of life-threatening acute hepatitis; FDA referred generally to its answers to other questions in the meeting memo and stated that further discussion of an indication different than the proposed acute alcoholic hepatitis indication should be the subject of a separate IND submission.
(7)The proposed 3-month safety/toxicology study in mice; FDA agreed with the plan to conduct the “S3” study in RNU immunocompromised rats, and referred to its suggested refinement suggestion in its response to question 4.
(8)The adequacy of the dose selection plan based on pig and rodent studies; FDA agreed that data from the completed and planned in vivo nonclinical studies can be used to justify dose selection for the planned first-in-human clinical trial.
(9)The proposed study design for the first-in-human study; FDA agreed with the proposed open-label, single-arm study for safety, and provided additional comments for information to be included in the IND.
 (10)The proposed 5-month post-treatment safety follow up plan; FDA stated that it is premature to provide specific comment on whether it agreed with the follow up safety plan and provided additional comments related to the clinical trial.

 

Based on the FDA meeting summary taken as a whole, DTCS determined that the Company’s progress toward clinical trials warranted continued work toward a transaction, with the types of regulatory risks commonly seen with pre-clinical biopharmaceutical companies.

 

The final Business Combination Agreement contained the following material differences from the prior draft in October 2025: (a) the Non-Redemption Warrants issuable to non-redeeming Public Shareholders and the Sponsor and its affiliates were added; (b) the Expense Advancement payable to the Sponsor upon the filing of the first confidential Form S-4 was increased from $200,000 in the LOI to $500,000; (c) Parent Transaction Expenses up to a maximum of $2,000,000, less the $500,000 Expense Advancement, would be paid by the Pubco at the Closing, (d) in the event the Pubco did not have available cash at the Closing to pay the balance of the Parent Transaction Expenses, Pubco would issue the Sponsor Closing Note to the Sponsor at the Closing in a principal amount equal to such shortfall and (e) at the Closing, Pubco and or its designee would purchase 250,000 DTCS Ordinary Shares from the Sponsor for the sum of $2,500,000 in cash.

 

As to legal diligence, Loeb raised diligence points regarding certain of PGUS’s intellectual property licenses. These issues were addressed as Closing matters rather than conditions to signing the Business Cominbation Agreement, which includes a closing condition requiring amendment of these licenses to provide that the license counterparties would not voluntarily transfer material licensed patents in a manner materially adverse to PGUS without PGUS’s written consent.

 

The DTCS Board unanimously approved the Business Combination Agreement and the ancillary documents referenced therein on February 2, 2026. All of the DTCS directors who are not employees of DTCS voted in favor of these matters, and there were no abstentions.

 

The parties executed the Business Combination Agreement and the two support agreements on February 2, 2026.

Company Projections

 

Statement Regarding Unaudited Projected Financial Information of PGUS

 

Neither DTCS nor PGUS, as a matter of course, makes public projections as to future sales, earnings or other results. However, PGUS’s management prepared certain projected financial information for use by DTCS in its diligence exercise and by Roma Appraisals Limited in connection with the rendering of the Roma Valuation Report and Opinion and performing its related financial analyses. The projections are included in this proxy statement/prospectus because they were provided to DTCS for its evaluation of the Business Combination.

 

The projected financial information set forth below 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 projected financial information. The projected 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, PGUS’s expectations, which may not prove to be accurate, relating to the business, earnings, cash flow, assets, liabilities and prospects of PGUS, 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 PGUS’s management, including, among other things, the matters described in the sections entitled “Forward-Looking Statements,” “Industry and Competitive Analysis” and “Risk Factors.”

 

Important factors that may affect actual results and cause the results reflected in the projected financial information not to be achieved include, among other things, risks and uncertainties relating to PGUS’s business, industry performance, the regulatory environment, and general business and economic conditions. The projected financial information also reflects assumptions as to certain business decisions that are subject to change.

 

The accompanying projected financial information covers an extended period of time, and this information by its nature becomes subject to greater uncertainty with each successive year. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made in preparing the projected financial information will prove accurate or that any of such projected information will be realized.

 

The projected financial information set forth below is not fact and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results, and readers of this proxy statement/prospectus are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the projected financial information. The inclusion of the below information should not be regarded as an indication that DTCS, PGUS, Pubco or any other recipient of this information considered — or now considers — it to be necessarily predictive of actual future results. Moreover, the below information is not included to influence your views on the Business Combination and is summarized in this proxy statement/prospectus to provide shareholders access to certain non-public information considered by DTCS in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination and provided to Roma 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 PGUS in this proxy statement/prospectus.

 

136

 

 

The unaudited projected financial information is subjective in many respects. As a result, there can be no assurance that the projected results will be realized or that actual results will not be significantly higher or lower than estimated. Since the unaudited projected 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.

 

Neither PGUS’s independent registered public accounting firm nor any other independent accountants, has audited, reviewed, examined, compiled nor applied agreed-upon procedures with respect to the accompanying projected financial information and, accordingly, does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto. The report of PGUS’s independent registered public accounting firm included in this proxy statement/prospectus relates to PGUS’s historical audited financial statements. It does not extend to the unaudited projected financial information and should not be read to do so.

 

EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS, BY INCLUDING IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS A SUMMARY OF THE INTERNAL PROJECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR PGUS, NONE OF DTCS, PGUS, OR PUBCO, NOR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES OR AFFILIATES, UNDERTAKES ANY OBLIGATION TO, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY TO, UPDATE OR REVISE, OR PUBLICLY DISCLOSE ANY UPDATE OR REVISION TO, THE INTERNAL PROJECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION TO REFLECT CIRCUMSTANCES OR EVENTS, INCLUDING UNANTICIPATED EVENTS, THAT MAY HAVE OCCURRED OR THAT MAY OCCUR AFTER THE PREPARATION OF THE PROJECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION, EVEN IN THE EVENT THAT ANY OR ALL OF THE ASSUMPTIONS UNDERLYING THE INTERNAL PROJECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION ARE SHOWN TO BE IN ERROR OR CHANGE.

 

THE PROJECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION DOES NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ANY CIRCUMSTANCES OR EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER THE DATE THAT THE INFORMATION WAS PREPARED. READERS OF THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS ARE CAUTIONED NOT TO PLACE UNDUE RELIANCE ON THE UNAUDITED PROJECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION SET FORTH BELOW. NONE OF DTCS, PGUS OR PUBCO, NOR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES OR AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, ADVISORS OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVES HAS MADE OR MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION TO ANY DTCS SHAREHOLDER, PGUS SHAREHOLDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON REGARDING ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE COMPARED TO THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE PROJECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OR THAT FINANCIAL AND OPERATING RESULTS WILL BE ACHIEVED.

 

Inclusion of the projected financial information in this proxy statement/prospectus should not be regarded as a representation by any of DTCS, PGUS, Pubco or any other person that the results contained in the projected financial information will be achieved, and should not be regarded as an indication that DTCS, the DTCS Board, or their respective affiliates, advisors or other representatives considered, or now considers, such projected financial information 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 projected financial information 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 PGUS to DTCS in connection with the Business Combination. Accordingly, Pubco does not intend to update or otherwise revise the projected financial information provided to DTCS 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 DTCS to reflect changes in general economic or industry conditions.

Delivery of the Projections

 

In connection with DTCS’s consideration and evaluation of the potential Business Combination, PGUS management prepared internally-derived forecasts of its operations. On April 23, 2025, PGUS provided these projections to DTCS. The projections were prepared in August 2024 and based on PGUS’ financials through June 30, 2024, and addressed a prospective growth stage between 2025-2031 and a mature stage between 2032-2034. The projections did not include revenues from PGUS’ cosmetics business, which was not an anticipated product at the time that the projections were prepared.

 

Below is a summary of the projections.

Certain Material Assumptions Regarding the Projections

 

Market assumptions. The potential market was projected according to the mortality caused by acute hepatitis and cirrhosis (alcohol), and excluding deaths caused by other chronic liver diseases. Data was sourced from the Global Burden of Disease database maintained by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, an independent population health research organization based at the University of Washington School of Medicine. Based on mortality data from the database, we projected that treatments for acute liver failure (ALF) in 2034E would benefit 74.4% and 6.7% of the patients who are facing the mortality risk in, respectively, the U.S. and international markets, including the countries of Germany, United Kingdom, Japan, China, Taiwan, and other high-income countries.

 

Revenue assumptions. Revenue in the projections is driven primarily by the following assumptions (each of which was material to the revenue forecast):

 

  ● In 2020, liver transplant surgery cost about $878,400 per patient in the U.S. for procurement, procedure, and aftercare according to the publicly available article, “How much does a liver transplant cost?” published online by Medical New Today (updated as of February 9, 2023). The cost was projected to increase to $1,000,000 with an inflation rate of 3%. Additionally, patients would be expected to take Rezdiffra, a prescription medicine, daily for the chronic metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), which would cost approximately a total of $474,000 for 10 years of treatment.
     
  ● The list price of ALF treatment in the U.S. was projected at $500,000 (gross), which is about half the price of a liver transplant, and $350,000 (net) was expected after insurance and hospital discounts.
     
  ● Each ALF patient was expected to receive 5 doses of MSCs for immediate treatment, then each patient would take another 2 smaller doses annually for maintenance in the following 5 years.

 

138

 

 

  ● Treatment of ALF was projected to increase in U.S. market from 120 cases in 2027E to 13,000 cases in 2034E with a CAGR of 68.3% and, in the international market from 72 cases in 2025E to 9,830 cases in 2034E with a CAGR of 72.7%.
     
  ● Maintenance treatments after treatments of ALF were projected to increase in the U.S. market from 0 cases in 2025E to 41,000 in 2034E and, in the international market from 72 cases in 2026E to 70,800 cases in 2034E with a CAGR of 115.0%.

 

Gross profit assumptions. The gross profit was projected to increase from $1.47M in 2025E to $5.99B in 2034E with a CAGR of 151.7% and, as a percentage of revenue, the gross profit margin would increase to 88.3% in 2034E, and was primarily based on the following assumptions:

 

  ● The cultivation of the activated MSC would be standardized and done in 250L 3D bioreactors, and that each batch of MSC produced would serve 80 patients with an average weight of 61-83kg.  
     
  ● A royalty of 5% of the net sales prices was projected to be payable to the holders of the patents.

 

Operating expenses assumptions. The projected operating expenses were based on the functional plans and reflected the sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses, including:

 

  ● Sales and Technical Customer Service team would be set up to provide 24/7 technical supports to the hospitals. The projected headcount would increase to 26 in 2034E.
     
  ● Marketing expenses were projected at 15% of net sales.  The expenses would increase from $1M in 2025E to $1.02B in 2034E.
     
  ● Personnel and other administrative expenses would cover a team of medical support, sales and marketing, finance and controls and other back-office services.  The expenses were projected to increase by 30% annually.  

 

Inflation assumption. No inflation was factored into the projections.

 

Factors That May Affect the Assumptions and Cause Actual Results to Differ

 

The projections necessarily involve forward-looking statements subject to risks and uncertainties. Material macroeconomic and company-specific factors that may cause results to differ materially from the projections include:

 

  ● Changes in the medical insurance market in relation to the support to the acute liver failure patients.
     
  ● Timing and magnitude of integration cost savings and realization of anticipated operating expense synergies.
     
  ● Timing, outcome and conditions of required regulatory approvals, certifications and permits.
     
  ● Availability and cost of capital, including interest rate and credit market conditions.
     
  ● Supply chain availability, component pricing and logistics disruptions that impact cost of sales and delivery schedules.
     
  ● Talent recruitment and retention, and the pace of technology development relative to plan.
     
  ● Competitive dynamics, pricing pressure and changes in the regulatory environment.

Valuation Report and Opinion of Roma Appraisals Limited

 

On July 19, 2024, PGUS engaged Roma Appraisals Limited to conduct an independent third-party valuation of the company. Roma’s valuation report and opinion were prepared for and provided to PGUS management. Roma’s valuation opinion is limited solely to the valuation of PGUS and does not address the relative merits of, or fairness of, the Business Combination. Roma’s valuation opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how any shareholder of DTCS should vote or act with respect to the Business Combination or any other matter. Except for the valuation services provided to PGUS, Roma had not been engaged by PGUS, DT Cloud or the Sponsor and any of its affiliates in the two years prior to the date of the valuation opinion. Roma received a non-contingent fixed fee as compensation for the delivery of the valuation report and opinion. Payment of the fee was not dependent upon its findings with respect to the valuation or upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

 

In selecting Roma, PGUS considered, among other things, the industry experience of Roma in the valuation of businesses for corporate purposes. Roma is a member of Langu Company Ltd, formerly Roma (Meta) Group Ltd, which is principally engaged in the provision of valuation and advisory services. Roma provides, among other services, business and intangible assets valuation, risk advisory, natural resources consultation, financial instruments valuation, property valuation, purchase price allocation, machinery and equipment valuation, work of art valuation, corporate advisory, ESG (environmental, social and governance) reporting, and credit and risk evaluation.

 

Roma delivered its final valuation report and opinion to PGUS on February 28, 2025, for the use and benefit of PGUS and its management. Roma did not receive from PGUS or DT Cloud, or any of their affiliates, instructions or limitations imposed on the valuation of the scope of Roma’s investigation.

 

The Valuation Opinion regards the valuation based on the facts and conditions that existed as of the date of the valuation, June 30, 2024 (“Date of Valuation”). The full text of the Valuation Opinion, which sets forth the scope, procedures followed, assumptions made, findings, the bases for and methods of arriving at such findings, matters considered and limiting conditions on the review undertaken in connection with the Valuation Opinion, is included as an exhibit to this proxy statement/prospectus and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The following summary does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses performed by Roma. Except as otherwise noted, the following information, to the extent that it is based on market data, is based on market data as it existed on or as of June 30, 2024, and is not necessarily indicative of current market conditions.

 

Valuation Opinion

 

In connection with rendering the Valuation Opinion, Roma performed a number of processes and procedures, including the following:

 

  ● collected and analyzed relevant historical financial statements and other financial and operational information of PGUS;
  ● discussed with the management of PGUS the history, operations, and prospects of its business;
  ● researched the general economic outlook and the outlook for the specific industry affecting the business of PGUS, its industry and its market;
  ● examined the reasonableness of the information and documents provided by the management of PGUS;
  ● determined the most appropriate valuation methodology; and
  ● identified comparable public companies in the biotechnology industry as it relates to cell-based treatment for acute liver injury with Mesenchymal Stem Cells as representative for the purpose of the valuation.

 

During its investigation of the company, Roma consulted, reviewed and relied, on certain key information which was publicly available or provided by management of PGUS, including:

 

  ● unaudited historical financial and operational information of PGUS;
  ● unaudited projected financial information prepared by PGUS (see the section entitled “PROPOSAL NO. 2 - THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL – Company Projections”) and their underlying assumptions;
  ● manufacturing cost estimates;
  ● relevant industry articles regarding cellular therapy and cost of liver transplants; and
  ● and discussions with the management of PGUS.

 

140

 

 

In addition, Roma considered factors in its analyses that it believed were pertinent to its review, including:

 

  ● the nature and prospect of PGUS;
  ● the financial information of PGUS;
  ● the business plan of the Company as provided by its management;
  ● the business risks of the Company such as the ability in maintaining competent technical and professional personnel; and
  ● investment returns of entities engaged in similar lines of business.

 

As its valuation methodology, after detailed analysis set forth the Valuation Opinion, Roma adopted the income-based approach at arriving at the market value of PGUS because it accounts for the future earning potential of the company. Under the income-based approach, Roma further adopted the discounted cash flow method, which is the most fundamental and prominent method of the income-based approach. Roma’s calculations are set forth in detail in its Valuation Opinion.

 

In conjunction with the foregoing calculations, as part of its analysis, Roma also adopted certain key assumptions, including the following:

 

  ● The valuation was mainly based on the projections of the future cash flows as confirmed by the PGUS management and provided to Roma as at the Date of Valuation. The projections outlined in the financial information provided are reasonable, reflecting market conditions and economic fundamentals, and will be materialized.
  ● PGUS would be operated and developed as planned by its management throughout the forecast period, and the development would be in line with the financial projections.
  ● All relevant legal approvals and business certificates or licenses to operate the business in the localities in which PGUS operates or intends to operate would be officially obtained and renewable upon expiry.
  ● There will be sufficient supply of technical staff in the industry in which PGUS operates, and PGUS will retain competent management, key personnel and technical staff to support its ongoing operations and developments.
  ● There are no setbacks involved during the time of the FDA clinical trials.
  ● PGUS will receive the Fast Track and Priority Review designation from the FDA, as believed by management after discussions with ProPharma, PGUS’s consultants at such time, for FDA applications.

 

In arriving at its opinion, Roma relied upon the following limiting conditions, among others:

 

  ● The valuation reflects facts and conditions existing as of the Date of Valuation.
  ● The valuation was based on the information such as the company background and business nature of PGUS provided to Roma. Roma also relied on the historical and/or prospective information provided by the management of PGUS and other third parties to a considerable extent in arriving at its opinion of value. That information has not been audited or compiled by Roma who is not in the position to verify the accuracy of all information provided to it.
  ● To the best of Roma’s knowledge, all data set forth in the Valuation Opinion are assumed to be reasonable and accurately determined. The data, opinions, or estimates identified as being furnished by others that have been used in formulating this analysis are gathered from reliable sources; yet, no guarantee is made nor liability assumed for their accuracy.

The DTCS Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination

 

The DTCS Board, in evaluating the Transactions, consulted with DTCS’s management and financial, strategic and legal advisors. In (i) resolving that it is fair to and in the best interests of DTCS and its stockholders, and declaring it advisable, to enter into the Business Combination Agreement, the related agreements to which DTCS is a party and the Transactions, (ii) approving the Business Combination Agreement, the related agreements to which DTCS is a party and the Transactions, including the Mergers, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, and (iii) adopting a resolution recommending the business combination proposal be approved by DTCS shareholders, the DTCS Board considered and evaluated a number of factors, including the factors discussed below. The DTCS Board did not consider it practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors it considered in reaching its determination. In addition, individual directors may have given different weight to different factors. The DTCS Board viewed its decision as being based on all of the information available and the factors presented to and considered by it. This explanation of DTCS’s reasons for the Transactions and all other information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed in the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

The DTCS Board considered a number of factors pertaining to the Transactions as generally supporting its decision to enter into the Business Combination Agreement, the related agreements to which DTCS is a party and the Transactions, including but not limited to, the following material factors:

 

  ● Reasonableness of Aggregate Consideration. The DTCS Board was updated regularly by management as to the status of the valuation negotiations. It was clear as early as April of 2025 that PGUS would not move off its requested valuation, DTCS management reviewed the PGUS projections as well as the third party valuation report commissioned by PGUS, but DTCS management elected not to provide these to the DTCS Board; instead, management consulted with the Board as to PGUS’s requested valuation and discussed with them its findings as to comparable companies. The DTCS Board instructed management to conduct comprehensive diligence on PGUS, with a specific focus on the quality of its key staff and its regulatory status and readiness; based on the principle that any valuation would be dependent on whether or not PGUS would successfully navigate the FDA approval process so that it could go to market with its product offering.

 

●Business and Financial Condition and Prospects. After conducting extensive due diligence, the DTCS Board and DTCS’s management team obtained a better understanding of PGUS’s business, regulatory landscape, FDA approval process, financial condition, management team and future growth prospects. The DTCS Board considered the results of the due diligence review of PGUS’s business, including its innovative technologies in the areas of stem cells, its large potential addressable market, its potential ability to generate an attractive return on invested capital as PGUS matures, as well as PGUS’s management team’s experience. The DTCS Board considered how these factors will enhance PGUS’s ability to scale effectively and to execute upon and achieve its business plan.

 

●FDA Approval Status. DTCS Management regularly updated the DTCS Board on the status of PGUS’s regulatory progress with the FDA Prior to approving the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the DTCS Board reviewed the FDA memorandum, dated January 8, 2026, of the December 17, 2025 pre-IND meeting held between PGUS and the FDA, and the DTCS Board determined that based on the FDA meeting summary taken as a whole, the Company’s progress toward clinical trials was sufficient to for DTCS to execute the Business Combination Agreement.

 

●Experienced and Committed Management Team. The DTCS Board considered the fact that PGUS will be led by PGUS’s senior management team, who have backgrounds in the biotechnology sector. The senior management team intends to remain with the PGUS in the capacity of officers and/or directors, which will provide helpful continuity in advancing the PGUS’s strategic goals. The DTCS Board noted that its assessment of the PGUS management team and the proposed leadership of the combined company was consistent with its intent to seek targets with experienced and capable management teams.

 

142

 

 

●Commitment of PGUS’s Owners. The DTCS Board considered the fact that PGUS’s Chief Executive Officer, PGUS’s Chief Financial Officer and the shareholders of PGUS are not selling any of their current shareholdings of PGUS in connection with the Transaction, and as such, will continue to own more than a majority of the PGUS on a pro forma basis, which the DTCS Board believed reflects such shareholders’ belief in and commitment to the continued growth prospects of PGUS going forward.

 

  ● DTCS Financial Analysis. The DTCS Board relied on the financial analysis conducted by the DTCS management team, and also reviewed the PGUS projections and the Valuation Report. The DTCS Board understood that PGUS would proceed with the Business Combination only with is requested valuation of $1.489,000,000, and it was comfortable that valuation was a factor, but not the only or the principal factor, on which to base its decision on whether or not to enter into the Business Combination Agreement. Rather, the DTCS Board concurred with the recommendation of management that the status of PGUS in the regulatory process presented a reasonable chance that PGUS will ultimately be able to enter the market with at least one FDA-approved product. Companies that reach this stage enjoy higher probability for commercial and financial success.

  

●Terms of the Business Combination Agreement and the Related Agreements. The DTCS Board considered the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and the related agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Mergers, each party’s representations, warranties and covenants, the conditions to each party’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby and the termination provisions as well as the strong commitment by both PGUS and DTCS to complete the Transactions.

 

●Board of Directors of the Post-Closing Company. The DTCS Board considered that the initial board of directors would be comprised of at least seven (7) directors, with (i) two (2) persons designated by PGUS, neither of whom shall be required to qualify as independent directors under Nasdaq rules; (ii) one (1) person nominated by DTCS, who shall be reasonably acceptable to PGUS and shall not be required to qualify as an independent director under Nasdaq rules; and (iii) four (4) persons, designated by PGUS who shall be reasonably acceptable to the DTCS, who shall be required to qualify as independent directors under Nasdaq rules, one of whom shall also be required to qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” pursuant to Item 407(d)(5)(ii) and (iii) of Regulation S-K.

 

●Role of Independent Directors. The DTCS Board is comprised of a majority of directors who are independent under applicable NASDAQ and SEC rules.

 

●Attractive Business Model. The DTCS Board considered PGUS’s business model, which has attractive potential unit economics and is designed to generate free cash flow upon the regulatory approval of the PGUS product line, both of which are consistent with the stated criteria that would drive DTCS’s search for prospective targets.

 

●Significant Revenue Opportunities. The DTCS Board believes PGUS with its proprietary stemXcell™ platform, has the potential to generate significant recurring revenues through the development and commercialization of stem cell-based therapies targeting inflammatory and degenerative diseases. This aligns with the Board’s stated intent to focus on potential targets capable of generating sustainable free cash flow over time.

 

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

 

●Macroeconomic Risks. Macroeconomic uncertainty and the effects it could have on the combined company’s revenues.

 

143

 

 

●Benefits May Not Be Achieved. The risk that the potential benefits of the Transactions may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe.

 

●Regulatory Risks. The risk of changes in PGUS’s regulatory environment, including changes to biotechnology regulation or laws; as well as the risk the FDA approval is not obtained. The DTCS Board acknowledged that PGUS’s failure to obtain FDA approval for any of its products would have a material negative impact on DTCS’s investment.

 

●Technology Risks. The risk that the development of PGUS’s technology, and the surrounding pricing environment, may diverge from expectations.

 

●Intellectual Property Risks. The value of the intellectual property associated with PGUS’s technology is based in part on PGUS’s ability to protect and enforce its patents and other proprietary rights, which is not guaranteed and the inability to do so may expose PGUS to the possible loss of a competitive advantage.

 

●Liquidation. The risks and costs to DTCS 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 DTCS being unable to effect a business combination within the completion window and force DTCS to liquidate.

 

●Stockholder Vote. The risk that DTCS’s stockholders may object to and challenge the Transactions and take action that may prevent or delay the consummation of the Transactions, including to vote down the proposals at the special meeting or redeem their shares.

 

●Closing Conditions. The fact that completion of the Transactions is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain closing conditions that are not within DTCS’s control.

 

●DTCS Public Stockholders Holding a Minority Position in the Post-Combination Company. The risk that DTCS public stockholders will hold a minority position in the post-combination company (approximately [ ]%, assuming maximum redemptions and [ ]%, assuming no redemptions), which may reduce the influence that DTCS’s current stockholders have on the management of DTCS.

 

●Litigation. The possibility of litigation challenging the Transactions or that an adverse judgment granting injunctive relief could enjoin or otherwise interfere with the consummation of the Transactions.

 

●Fees and Expenses. The fees and expenses associated with completing the Transactions.

 

●Other Risks. Various other risks associated with the business of PGUS, as described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement.

 

The DTCS Board concluded that the potential benefits that it expected DTCS and its stockholders to achieve as a result of the Transactions outweighed the potentially negative factors associated with the Transactions. The DTCS Board also noted that DTCS shareholders would have a substantial economic interest in the combined company (depending on the level of Public Shareholders that sought redemption of their Public Shares into cash). Accordingly, the DTCS Board unanimously determined that the Business Combination Agreement, the related agreements to which DTCS is a party and the Transactions are fair to, and in the best interests of, DTCS and its stockholders, and approved the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination. All of the DTCS directors who are not employees of DTCS voted in favor of these matters, and there were no abstentions.

 

A majority of DTCS’s directors who are not employees retained an unaffiliated representative to act solely on behalf of unaffiliated security holders for purposes of negotiating the terms of the Business Combination and/or preparing a report concerning the approval of the Business Combination.

 

Satisfaction of the 80% Test

 

It is a requirement under the Cayman Constitutional Documents and Nasdaq listing requirements that the target business acquired in DTCS’s initial business combination 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 DTCS’s initial business combination. As of February 2, 2026, the date of the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the balance of funds held in the Trust Account was at least $17,951,466.48, and 80% thereof represents approximately $14,361,172. The DTCS Board concluded that the fair market value of PGUS was $1,489,000,000, which exceeds this 80% requirement. The DTCS Board considered all of the factors described in the summary of the business combination negotiations above, as well as the fact that the aggregate agreed fair market value of PGUS was obtained after and as the result of arm’s length negotiations with PGUS and diligence by DTCS as to the viability of the products in the PGUS pipeline. These factors included, without limitation, the projected growth of PGUS, PGUS’s regulatory status and progress, third party precedent indicating the potential valuation upside of a similarly situated peer company, and the quality and readiness of PGUS management As a result, the DTCS Board concluded that the fair market value of the business acquired was in excess of 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding any taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account). In light of the financial background and experience of the members of DTCS’s management team and the DTCS Board, the DTCS Board believes that the members of the management team and the DTCS Board are qualified to determine whether the Business Combination meets the 80% test.

The PGUS Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination

 

In reaching its decision to approve the Business Combination Proposal and resolving to recommend that PGUS Stockholders approve the Business Combination Proposal, the PGUS Board consulted with PGUS’s management, as well as its legal counsel and other advisors. The PGUS Board considered a variety of factors in connection with its evaluation and approval of the Business Combination and the matters related to the Business Combination.

 

In light of the number and variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination, the PGUS 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 PGUS 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 in their evaluation of the Business Combination. The PGUS 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:

 

●Optimal Path to Support Growth. The PGUS Board determined, after a thorough review of other strategic alternatives potentially available to PGUS, that the proposed Business Combination represents a better opportunity for PGUS to support its long-term growth and create value for its stockholders, as compared to other potential strategic alternatives with other partners and the possibility of, and benefits and risks associated with, continuing to operate PGUS as an independent, stand-alone entity, which the PGUS Board believed would not deliver comparable benefits to those that could be achieved in the proposed Business Combination.

 

●Negotiated Transaction. The PGUS Board considered the terms and conditions of the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby, including but not limited to, each party’s representations, warranties and covenants, the conditions to each party’s obligation to consummate the Business Combination and the termination provisions, as well as the strong commitment by both PGUS and DTCS to consummation the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

 

●Access to Capital. The PGUS Board considered the current economic, industry and market conditions affecting PGUS, PGUS’s projected financial results and cash flows, PGUS’s prospects as a private entity and the needs of PGUS to obtain substantial additional financing in the future and the cost of alternative means of raising capital, and it expected that the proposed Business Combination would be a more time- and cost-effective means to access capital than other options considered.

 

●Board Composition. The PGUS Board considered that the Pubco Board will consist of seven directors, including one director to be designated by DTCS and the remaining directors to be designated by PGUS. Four of the directors designated by PGUS will be required to qualify as independent directors under Nasdaq rules, such that a majority of the members of the Pubco Board will be independent in accordance with applicable law and the rules and regulations of Nasdaq.

 

●Route to Becoming a Publicly Traded Company. The PGUS Board considered that becoming a public company would be the best way for PGUS to have access to long-term sources of available capital and would aid PGUS in executing its long-term strategic plan. The PGUS Board considered potential alternatives to becoming a publicly traded company from a business combination with a SPAC, and the potential advantages the Business Combination affords, including the expected cost to becoming a publicly traded company from a business combination with a SPAC compared to other ways of becoming a publicly traded company.

 

●Potential Liquidity Opportunity for Long Term Holders. The PGUS Board also considered the fact that PGUS is a private company with limited opportunities for liquidity for its holders outside of a sale of PGUS. The PGUS Board believed that the Business Combination, and the potential listing of Pubco shares on Nasdaq, provides long term holders of PGUS equity interests with an opportunity, subject to the expiration of any applicable lockup and transfer restrictions, to sell all or a portion of their resulting Pubco Common Stock and thus diversify their holdings.

 

145

 

 

The PGUS Board also considered a variety of uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Business Combination (which are more fully described in the “Risk Factors” section of this proxy statement/prospectus), including, but not limited to, the following:

 

●Potential Inability to Complete the Business Combination. The PGUS Board also considered a variety of uncertainties, risks and other potentially negative factors relating to the Business Combination (which are more fully described in the section titled “Risk Factors” of this proxy statement/prospectus), including, among others, the risk that the Business Combination may not be completed in a timely manner or at all. In particular, the PGUS Board considered the risk that the Business Combination could fail to be consummated due to the failure to obtain the required approvals of the stockholders of PGUS and DTCS or to satisfy or waive the conditions to closing set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, including conditions relating to the accuracy of representations and warranties, the performance of covenants, the absence of a material adverse effect, the receipt of required governmental and regulatory approvals, and other customary closing conditions. The PGUS Board also considered the risk that delays or failures in satisfying these conditions could adversely affect the likelihood or timing of completion of the Business Combination.

 

●Redemption Risk. The potential that a significant number of Public Shareholders elect to redeem their Public Shares prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and pursuant to the Existing Articles and Existing Memorandum, which would potentially make the Business Combination more difficult to complete and reduce the cash available to Pubco to fund its business plan. However, even in the event that a significant number of Public Shareholders elect to redeem their shares, this redemption would not prevent the consummation of the Business Combination.

 

●Fees and Expenses. The PGUS Board considered the fees and expenses associated with completing the Business Combination.

 

●Diversion of Management and Employee Attention. The PGUS Board considered the potential for diversion of PGUS’s management and employee attention and resources during the period prior to the completion of the Business Combination and the potential negative effects thereof on PGUS’s business.

 

●Interests of Certain Persons. The PGUS Board also considered the fact that PGUS’s officers and directors may have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) the interests of the PGUS Stockholders and DTCS shareholders generally (see “Interests of the PGUS Directors and Executive Officers”).

 

The PGUS Board ultimately concluded that, in the aggregate, the potential benefits of the Business Combination outweighed the potential risks or negative consequences and that the Business Combination is in the best interests of PGUS and its stockholders.

 

146

 

 

Interests of the PGUS Directors and Executive Officers

 

PGUS’s directors and executive officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of the DTCS shareholders and PGUS Stockholders generally. These interests include, among other things:

 

●To the extent that the PGUS directors and executive officers are also PGUS Stockholders prior to the Closing they will also have rights to receive shares in the same manner as other PGUS Stockholders, in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement.
   
●If the Business Combination with DTCS is completed, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, PGUS will designate six of the seven members to the Board of Directors of the Pubco, including Daniel Chiu, [  ], [  ], [  ], [  ] and [  ]. In addition, Daniel Chiu, the Co-Chief Executive Officer of PGUS is expected to be appointed as the chief executive officer of Pubco following the consummation of the Business Combination.
   
●PGUS’s current directors and officers are parties to indemnification agreements with PGUS that provide continuing indemnification rights and require successors to assume those obligations.
   
●Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, certain of the stockholders of PGUS holding Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) will be entitled to customary registration rights, including shelf, demand and piggy-back rights, subject to cooperation and cut-back provisions, with respect to such Registrable Securities following the consummation of the Business Combination.
   
  ● Following the consummation of this Business Combination, Pubco expects to adopt a non-employee director compensation program pursuant to which non-employee directors of Pubco may receive cash retainers and equity-based awards. Certain current directors of PGUS are expected to serve on the Pubco Board following the Closing and may become eligible to receive compensation under such program. The terms of the program have not yet been finalized.
     
  ● Following the consummation of this Business Combination, certain current executive officers and directors of PGUS are expected to serve as executive officers and/or directors of Pubco and are expected to receive compensation in those capacities. Pubco intends to enter into employment agreements with Mr. Daniel Chiu following the consummation of this Business Combination, although the terms of such agreements have not yet been finalized. As a result, these individuals may have interests in the Business Combination that differ from, or are in addition to, the interests of PGUS Stockholders generally.
     
  ● On June 12, 2026, PGUS entered into a promissory note with Dora E. Chan, as Trustee of the Dora E. Chan Trust, pursuant to which the trust loaned PGUS $400,000. The promissory note matures on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2026 and (ii) the closing of the Business Combination. Dora E. Chan serves as PGUS’s Chief Financial Officer and a member of its board of directors. As a result, upon consummation of the Business Combination, the outstanding principal amount of, and any accrued interest under, the promissory note may become due and payable to the Dora E. Chan Trust.
     
  ● On November 5, 2025, we issued a promissory note in the amount of $300,000 to Rita YuKa Wong, the spouse of our Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, Daniel Chiu, which matured on March 31, 2026. The parties agreed to amend and restate the promissory note with an extended maturity to September 30, 2026, or the consummation of the Business Combination, whichever is earlier. As a result, upon consummation of the Business Combination, the outstanding principal amount of, and any accrued interest under, the promissory note may become due and payable to Ms. Wong.
     
  ● Pursuant to the terms of certain PGUS Warrants held by Daniel Chiu and Wai Sun Szeto, the consummation of the Business Combination will accelerate the vesting of a portion of such warrants, resulting in the vesting of warrants to purchase 2,500,000 and 50,000 shares of PGUS Class A Common Stock, respectively. For more details, see “Warrant Acceleration” below.

 

PGUS Options Held by Directors and Executive Officers

 

Certain of PGUS’s directors and executive officers hold PGUS Options. The following table sets forth, for each of PGUS’s directors and executive officers, the number of vested and unvested PGUS Options held by the director or executive officer as of March 31, 2026. Depending on when the Closing Date occurs, certain PGUS Options shown in the table may vest prior to Closing.

 

Name of Directors and Executive Officers  Vested
PGUS
Options
   Unvested
PGUS
Options
 
                         
Daniel Chiu   2,700,000    - 
Wai Sun Szeto   2,450,000    - 
Dora E. Chan   -    - 

 

As described in this proxy statement/prospectus, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, each PGUS Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be canceled and automatically converted into an option to purchase shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock, with substantially equivalent terms and conditions, including with respect to vesting and exercisability. The conversion of PGUS Options is intended to be effected in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code and, to the extent applicable, Section 422 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

Certain Business Combination Related Payments

 

Except as set forth below, no payments or benefits have been or will be paid or made available to any of PGUS’s directors or executive officers as a result of the consummation of the Business Combination.

 

Warrant Acceleration. Pursuant to the terms of the PGUS Warrants held by Daniel Chiu and Wai Sun Szeto, the closing of the Business Combination will constitute a Liquidity Event (as defined in the applicable warrant agreement), triggering the immediate vesting of 25% of the shares underlying such warrants, subject to the holder’s Continued Service (as defined in the applicable warrant agreement) through the closing date. As a result, PGUS Warrants held by Mr. Chiu and Mr. Szeto to purchase 2,500,000 and 50,000 shares of PGUS Class A Common Stock, respectively, will vest upon the consummation of the Business Combination, representing 25% of the total shares underlying their respective PGUS Warrants. The PGUS Warrants held by Dora E. Chan are subject to time-based vesting only and will not accelerate as a result of the Business Combination.

 

147

 

 

Other PGUS Equity Held by Directors and Officers

 

As of March 31, 2026, certain directors and executive officers of PGUS held warrants to purchase shares of PGUS Class A Common Stock. Specifically, Daniel Chiu held PGUS Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of PGUS Class A Common Stock, Dora E. Chan held PGUS Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of PGUS Class A Common Stock, and Wai Sun Szeto held PGUS Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 200,000 shares of PGUS Class A Common Stock. In addition, Stem Med Scientific Inc. held PGUS Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of PGUS Class A Common Stock. Stem Med Scientific Inc. is controlled by Daniel Chiu.

 

As described in this proxy statement/prospectus, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, each PGUS Warrant outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be canceled and automatically converted into a warrant with substantially equivalent terms and conditions to purchase shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock. Accordingly, the PGUS warrants held by PGUS directors and executive officers will represent continuing equity interests in Pubco following the consummation of the Business Combination.

 

Other Compensation

 

In connection with the Business Combination, the Pubco Board will adopt a new non-employee director compensation policy to govern Pubco effective as of the Closing. It is anticipated that the new non-employee director compensation policy will provide for annual cash retainers and certain equity awards that will be granted following the Business Combination.

 

Interests of Certain DTCS Persons in the Business Combination

 

When you consider the recommendation of the DTCS Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the other Shareholder Proposals included herein, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor and DTCS’s directors and officers have interests in such proposals that are different from, in addition to and/or in conflict with, those of the DTCS shareholders generally. Further, DTCS’s officers and directors have additional fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present a business combination opportunity to such entity, which are set forth in more detail in the section titled “Information about DTCS - Conflicts of Interest”. We believe there were no such opportunities that were not presented to DTCS for a potential business combination as a result of the existing fiduciary or contractual obligations of our officers and directors to other entities. The DTCS Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Business Combination and Business Combination Agreement and in recommending to our shareholders that they vote in favor of the Shareholder Proposals presented at the extraordinary general meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal. DTCS shareholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Shareholder Proposals presented at the extraordinary general meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal.

 

Benefits and Detriments of the Business Combination

 

The following describe the potential benefits and detriments to certain groups of stakeholders in connection with the Business Combination:

 

  ● DTCS: The DTCS Board determined that the Business Combination presents an attractive business opportunity in light of certain factors, including PGUS’s future business and financial condition and prospects, strong management team, and in light of the other opportunities for business combinations reasonably available to DTCS. The DTCS Board also considered the potential detriments of the Business Combination to DTCS, including the difficulty of ascertaining the valuation of a company with limited operating history and limited revenues such as PGUS, the uncertainty of the potential benefits of the Business Combination being achieved, macroeconomic risks, the absence of possible structural protections for minority shareholders, the risks and costs to DTCS if the Business Combination is not achieved, including the risk that it may result in DTCS being unable to complete a business combination and force DTCS to redeem the Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, subject to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirement of other applicable law, and the potential for dilution of the DTCS shareholders from any PIPE Financing or other financing. (As to the latter, the amount of dilution would be depending on the aggregate amount of PIPE or other financing obtained, and any such dilution would affect the Sponsor, the Public Shareholders and the PGUS stockholders proportionately.) For more information, see “- The DTCS Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination”, and various risks described under the section entitled “Risk Factors”.

 

148

 

 

●Sponsor: The Sponsor expects to receive substantial consideration in the Business Combination, including prior to the Closing Date the sum of $2,500,000 (“Sponsor Closing Payment”), in exchange for 250,000 shares of DTCS Ordinary Shares. As a result of the low price paid by the Sponsor for its equity in DTCS, the Sponsor is likely to be able to make a substantial profit on its investment even at a time when Public Shareholders have lost significant value. For more information, see “- Compensation Received by the Sponsor, its Affiliates and DTCS Directors and Executive Officers”. The Sponsor will only be able to realize a return on their equity in DTCS (which may be materially higher than the return realized by Public Shareholders) if DTCS completes a business combination by October 26, 2026 (or if such date is extended at a duly called meeting of the DTCS shareholders, such later date). Additionally, the Sponsor faces potential detriments from the Business Combination, including the possibility of litigation challenging the Business Combination or the Sponsor’s role in the Business Combination, and the risk that if the Business Combination is not achieved, DTCS may be unable to consummate a business combination and be forced to redeem the Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, resulting in the Sponsor and its affiliates’ investment being worthless.

 

●Unaffiliated DTCS Public Shareholders: The unaffiliated Public Shareholders have the opportunity to evaluate and consider whether or not to redeem their Public Shares in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. Non-redeeming Public Shareholders will have the opportunity to participate in the potential future growth of PGUS, but may face a number of potential detriments in connection with their continued investment, including the uncertainties and risks identified by the DTCS Board described more fully in “- The DTCS Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination”, the various other risks associated with the Business Combination, the business of DTCS and the business of PGUS, as described further under the section entitled “Risk Factors”, the potential conflicts of interest described under “- Interests of Certain DTCS Persons in the Business Combination”, and the potential material dilution they may experience as described more fully in the section entitled “Potential Impact of Additional Dilution”. Redeeming Public Shareholders have the opportunity to receive their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account, less taxes paid and payable, calculated as of two (2) Business Days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. However, redeeming Public Shareholders face the potential of not realizing any future growth in value of PGUS following the Business Combination.

 

●

PGUS and its Affiliates: The PGUS Board determined that the Business Combination presents an attractive business opportunity in light of certain factors, including, among other factors, that the Business Combination could expand the access to capital for PGUS, and taking into account PGUS’s expected cash resources and need for additional capital to fund the development of its products and services, and the uniqueness of this particular potential Business Combination, as the negotiated transaction could provide PGUS with access to the funds remaining in DTCS’s trust account at the Closing, after giving effect to any redemptions by DTCS’s public shareholders and the payment of transaction expenses. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, neither DTCS nor PGUS has entered into any definitive PIPE financing or other related financing transaction in connection with the Business Combination. Accordingly, the PGUS Board did not consider the benefits or detriments of any such financing transaction in evaluating the Business Combination.

 

For PGUS’s affiliates, the tradability of their shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock is expected to make their holdings more liquid. The PGUS Board also considered the potential detriments of the Business Combination to PGUS and its affiliates, including, among other factors, the possibility that the Business Combination might not be completed in a timely manner or at all, the uncertainty of the potential benefits of the Business Combination being achieved, the costs involved in connection with completing the Business Combination, and the time and effort of PGUS management required to complete the Business Combination. For more information, see “- The PGUS Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination” and various risks described under the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

 

Expected Accounting Treatment of the Business Combination

 

The Redomestication Merger

 

There will be no accounting effect or change in the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities of DTCS as a result of the Redomestication Merger. The business, capitalization, assets and liabilities and financial statements of DTCS immediately following the Redomestication Merger will be the same as those immediately prior to the Redomestication Merger.

 

149

 

 

The Business Combination

 

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP and not as a business combination. Under this method of accounting, DTCS will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of PGUS issuing stock for the net assets of DTCS, accompanied by a recapitalization. Upon the completion of the Business Combination, substantially all of the assets and business of the combined company will be held and operated by PGUS.

 

Regulatory Matters

 

Neither DTCS nor PGUS are aware of any material regulatory approvals or actions that are required for completion of the Business Combination, other than the filing required by and the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and the other regulatory notices and approvals discussed in “The Business Combination Proposal - Business Combination Agreement - Closing Conditions - Conditions to the Obligations of Each Party”. The filing required by the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 was made on April 25, 2025. The waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 expired on [ ], 2026. It is presently contemplated that if any such additional regulatory approvals or actions are required, those approvals or actions will be sought. There can be no assurance, however, that any additional approvals or actions will be obtained.

 

Vote Required for Approval

 

The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under the Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of the holders of one-third of the DTCS Ordinary Shares who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting and otherwise will have no effect on a particular proposal. Broker non-votes are not considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on a particular proposal under Cayman Islands law, assuming a valid quorum is established.

 

The Business Combination Proposal is conditioned on the approval of each of the Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals is not approved, the Business Combination Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of DTCS Ordinary Shares.

 

Resolution to be Voted Upon

 

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

 

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that DTCS’s entry into the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of February 2, 2026, by and among DTCS, Purchaser, Merger Sub and PGUS, pursuant to which and among other things, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, (i) DTCS shall merge with and into the Purchaser, in which the Purchaser will be the surviving entity; and (ii) at least one Business Day subsequent to the consummation of the Redomestication Merger, Merger Sub shall merge with and into PGUS, in which PGUS will be the surviving entity and become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Purchaser, and all other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, be approved, ratified and confirmed in all respects.”

 

Recommendation of the DTCS Board

 

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

 

The DTCS Board believes that the Business Combination Proposal to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting is in the best interests of DTCS’s shareholders and unanimously recommends that its shareholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Business Combination Proposal.

PROPOSAL NO. 2: THE Redomestication Merger PROPOSAL

 

Overview

 

As discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus, subject to the approval of the other Condition Precedent Proposals, DTCS is asking its shareholders to approve the Redomestication Merger Proposal. Under the Business Combination Agreement, the approval of the Redomestication Merger Proposal, and completion of the Redomestication Merger, is a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination. If, however, the Redomestication Merger Proposal is approved, but the Business Combination Proposal or any of the other Condition Precedent Proposals is not approved, then neither the Redomestication Merger nor the Business Combination will be consummated.

 

As a condition to Closing, the DTCS Board has unanimously approved a change of DTCS’s jurisdiction of incorporation by the Redomestication Merger and continuing and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. In accordance with DTCS’s plan of Redomestication Merger and the Redomestication Merger Cayman Plan of Merger, each of which is, included as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part, to effect the Redomestication Merger, DTCS will file the Redomestication Merger Cayman Plan of Merger with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, together with the necessary accompanying documents, and file the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and a certificate of corporate domestication with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, under which DTCS will be domesticated and continue as Pubco, a Delaware corporation. Effective immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination, Pubco will be renamed “PrimeGen Holdings, Inc.”.

 

The Redomestication Merger Proposal, if approved, will authorize a change of DTCS’s jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware. Accordingly, while DTCS is currently governed by the Companies Act, upon the Mergers, Pubco will be governed by the Delaware DGCL. DTCS encourages shareholders to carefully consult the information set out below under “- Comparison of Shareholder Rights under Applicable Corporate Law Before and After Redomestication Merger”.

 

Reasons for the Redomestication Merger

 

The DTCS Board believes that it would be in the best interests of DTCS, simultaneously with the completion of the Business Combination, to effect the Redomestication Merger. Further, the DTCS Board believes that any direct benefit that the DGCL provides to a corporation also indirectly benefits its stockholders, who are the owners of the corporation. In addition, because Pubco will operate within the United States following the Business Combination, it was the view of the DTCS Board that Pubco should be structured as a corporation organized in the United States.

 

The DTCS Board believes that there are several reasons why a Redomestication Merger in Delaware is in the best interests of DTCS and its shareholders. These additional reasons can be summarized as follows:

 

●Prominence, Predictability and Flexibility of Delaware Law. For many years, Delaware has followed a policy of encouraging incorporation in its state and, in furtherance of that policy, has been a leader in adopting, construing, and implementing comprehensive, flexible corporate laws responsive to the legal and business needs of corporations organized under its laws. Many corporations have chosen Delaware initially as a state of incorporation or have subsequently changed corporate domicile to Delaware. Because of Delaware’s prominence as the state of incorporation for many major corporations, both the legislature and courts in Delaware have demonstrated the ability and a willingness to act quickly and effectively to meet changing business needs. The DGCL is frequently revised and updated to accommodate changing legal and business needs and is more comprehensive, widely used and interpreted than other state corporate laws. This favorable corporate and regulatory environment is attractive to businesses such as ours.

 

151

 

 

●Well-Established Principles of Corporate Governance. There is substantial judicial precedent in the Delaware courts as to the legal principles applicable to measures that may be taken by a corporation and to the conduct of a company’s board of directors, such as under the business judgment rule and other standards. Because the judicial system is based largely on legal precedents, the abundance of Delaware case law provides clarity and predictability to many areas of corporate law. We believe such clarity would be advantageous to Pubco, the Pubco Board and management to make corporate decisions and take corporate actions with greater assurance as to the validity and consequences of those decisions and actions. Further, investors and securities professionals are generally more familiar with Delaware corporations, and the laws governing such corporations, increasing their level of comfort with Delaware corporations relative to other jurisdictions. The Delaware courts have developed considerable expertise in dealing with corporate issues, and a substantial body of case law has developed construing Delaware law and establishing public policies with respect to corporate legal affairs. Moreover, Delaware’s vast body of law on the fiduciary duties of directors provides appropriate protection for Pubco’s stockholders from possible abuses by directors and officers.

 

●Increased Ability to Attract and Retain Qualified Directors. Redomestication Merger from the Cayman Islands to Delaware is attractive to directors, officers, and stockholders alike. Pubco’s incorporation in Delaware may make Pubco more attractive to future candidates for the Pubco Board, because many such candidates are already familiar with Delaware corporate law from their past business experiences. To date, we have not experienced difficulty in retaining directors or officers, but directors of public companies are exposed to significant potential liability. Thus, candidates’ familiarity and comfort with Delaware laws - especially those relating to director indemnification (as discussed below) - draw such qualified candidates to Delaware corporations. The DTCS Board therefore believes that providing the benefits afforded directors by Delaware law will enable Pubco to compete more effectively with other public companies in the recruitment of talented and experienced directors and officers. Moreover, Delaware’s vast body of law on the fiduciary duties of directors provides appropriate protection for our stockholders from possible abuses by directors and officers.

 

The frequency of claims and litigation pursued against directors and officers has greatly expanded the risks facing directors and officers of corporations in carrying out their respective duties. The amount of time and money required to respond to such claims and to defend such litigation can be substantial. While both Cayman Islands and Delaware law permit a corporation to include a provision in its governing documents to reduce or eliminate the monetary liability of directors for breaches of fiduciary duty in certain circumstances, we believe that, in general, Delaware law is more developed and provides more guidance than Cayman Islands law on matters regarding a company’s ability to limit director liability. As a result, we believe that the corporate environment afforded by Delaware will enable Pubco to compete more effectively with other public companies in attracting and retaining new directors.

 

Reasons for the Name Change

 

The DTCS Board believes that it would be in the best interests of for Pubco to, effective immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination, change its corporate name to “PrimeGen Holdings, Inc.” in order to more accurately reflect the business purpose and activities of Pubco.

 

Regulatory Approvals; Third-Party Consents

 

DTCS is not required to make any filings or to obtain any approvals or clearances from any antitrust regulatory authorities in the United States or other countries in order to complete the Redomestication Merger. However, because the Redomestication Merger must occur simultaneously with the Business Combination, it will not occur unless the Business Combination can be completed, which will require the approvals as described under the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Business Combination Proposal”. DTCS must comply with applicable United States federal and state securities laws in connection with the Redomestication Merger and the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended in connection with the Acquisition Merger.

 

The Redomestication Merger will not breach any covenants or agreements binding upon DTCS and will not be subject to any additional federal or state regulatory requirements, except compliance with the laws of the Cayman Islands and Delaware necessary to effect the Redomestication Merger.

 

152

 

 

Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed By-Laws

 

Commencing with the effective time of the Redomestication Merger, the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed By-Laws will govern the rights of stockholders in Pubco.

 

A chart comparing your rights as a holder of DTCS Ordinary Shares as a Cayman Islands exempted company with your rights as a holder of Pubco Class A Common Stock can be found in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Redomestication Merger Proposal - Comparison of Shareholder Rights under Applicable Corporate Law Before and After Redomestication Merger”.

 

Comparison of Shareholder Rights under Applicable Corporate Law Before and After Redomestication Merger

 

When the Redomestication Merger is completed, the rights of stockholders of Pubco will be governed by Delaware law, including the DGCL, rather than by the laws of the Cayman Islands. Certain differences exist between the DGCL and the Companies Act that will alter certain of the rights of shareholders of DTCS and affect the powers of the Pubco Board and management following the Redomestication Merger.

 

Shareholders should consider the following summary comparison of the laws of the Cayman Islands, on the one hand, and the DGCL, on the other. This comparison is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the DGCL and the Companies Act.

 

The owners of a Delaware corporation’s shares are referred to as “stockholders”. For purposes of language consistency, in certain sections of this proxy statement/prospectus, we may continue to refer to the share owners of Pubco as “shareholders”.

 

Provision   Pubco (Delaware corporation)   DTCS (Cayman Islands exempted company)
Applicable legislation   General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware   The Companies Act (as revised) of the Cayman Islands
         
General Vote Required for Combinations with Interested Stockholders/Shareholders   Generally, a corporation may not engage in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three (3) years after the time of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the corporation opts out of the statutory provision.   No similar provision
         
Appraisal / Dissenters’ Rights   Stockholders of a publicly traded corporation do, however, generally have appraisal rights in connection with a merger if they are required by the terms of a merger agreement to accept for their shares anything except: (a) shares or depository receipts of the corporation surviving or resulting from such merger; (b) shares of stock or depository receipts that will be either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 holders; (c) cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in (a) and (b) above; or (d) any combination of the shares of stock, depository receipts and cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in (a), (b) and (c) above.   Under the Companies Act, minority shareholders that dissent to a merger are entitled to be paid the fair market value of their shares, which, if necessary, may ultimately be determined by the courts of the Cayman Islands.
         
Requirements for Stockholder/Shareholder Approval   Subject to the certificate of incorporation, stockholder approval of most mergers, a sale of all or substantially all the assets of the corporation, dissolution and amendments of constitutional documents require a majority of outstanding shares; most other matters requiring stockholder approval require a majority of those present and voting, provided a quorum is present.   Subject to the articles of association, matters which require shareholder approval, whether under Cayman Islands statute or the company’s articles of association, are determined (subject to quorum requirements, the Companies Act, applicable law and the relevant articles of association) by ordinary resolution, being the approval of the holders of a simple majority of the shares, who, being present in person or proxy and entitled to vote, vote at the meeting of shareholders or by “special resolution” (such as the amendment of the company’s constitutional documents), being the approval of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote, vote at the meeting of shareholders.
         
Requirement for Quorum   Quorum is a majority of shares entitled to vote at the meeting unless otherwise set in the constitutional documents, but cannot be less than one-third of shares entitled to vote at the meeting.   Quorum is set in the company’s articles of association.
         
Stockholder/Shareholder Consent to Action Without Meeting   Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, stockholders may act by written consent.   Shareholder action by written resolutions (whether unanimous or otherwise) may be permitted by the articles of association.
         
Inspection of Books and Records   Any stockholder may inspect the corporation’s books and records for a proper purpose during the usual hours for business.   Shareholders generally do not have any rights to inspect or obtain copies of the register of members or other corporate records of a company.
         
Stockholder/Shareholder Lawsuits   A stockholder may bring a derivative suit subject to procedural requirements (including adopting Delaware as the exclusive forum as per the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal).   The decision to institute proceedings on behalf of a company is generally taken by the company’s board of directors. A shareholder may be entitled to bring a derivative action on behalf of the company only in certain limited circumstances.
         
Removal of Directors;   Any director or the entire board may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors, except as follows: (1) unless the certificate of incorporation otherwise provides, in the case of a corporation with a classified board, stockholders may effect such removal only for cause; or (2) in the case of a corporation having cumulative voting,   A company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide that a director may be removed for any or no reason and that, in addition to shareholders, boards may be granted the power to remove a director.

 

153

 

 

Provision   Pubco (Delaware corporation)   DTCS (Cayman Islands exempted company)
    if less than the entire board is to be removed, no director may be removed without cause if the votes cast against such director’s removal would be sufficient to elect such director if then cumulatively voted at an election of the entire board.    
         
Number of Directors   The number of directors is fixed by the by-laws, unless the certificate of incorporation fixes the number of directors, in which case a change in the number of directors shall be made only by amendment of the certificate of incorporation. The by-laws may provide that the board may increase the size of the board and fill any vacancies.   Subject to the articles of association, the board may increase the size of the board and fill any vacancies.
         
Fiduciary Duties of Directors   Directors must exercise a duty of care and duty of loyalty and good faith to the company and its stockholders.  

A director owes fiduciary duties to a company, including to exercise loyalty, honesty and good faith to the company as a whole.

 

In addition to fiduciary duties, directors owe a duty of care, diligence and skill. Such duties are owed to the company but may be owed directly to creditors or shareholders in certain limited circumstances.

         
Indemnification of Directors and Officers   A corporation is generally permitted to indemnify any person who was or is a party to any proceeding because such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred if the person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. If the action was brought by or on behalf of the corporation, no indemnification is made when a person is adjudged liable to the corporation unless a court determines such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses the court deems proper.   A Cayman Islands exempted company generally may indemnify its directors or officers, except with regard to their own fraud, dishonesty, willful neglect or willful default.
         
Limited Liability of Directors   Permits the limiting or eliminating of the monetary liability of a director to a corporation or its stockholders, except with regard to breaches of duty of loyalty, intentional misconduct, unlawful stock repurchases or dividends, or improper personal benefit.   Liability of directors may be limited, except with regard to their own fraud, dishonesty, willful neglect or willful default.

Accounting Treatment of the Redomestication Merger

 

The Redomestication Merger is being proposed solely for the purpose of changing the legal domicile of DTCS. There will be no accounting effect or change in the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities of DTCS as a result of the Redomestication Merger. The business, capitalization, assets and liabilities and financial statements of DTCS immediately following the Redomestication Merger will be the same as those immediately prior to the Redomestication Merger.

 

Vote Required for Approval

 

The approval of the Redomestication Merger Proposal requires a special resolution, being the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the DTCS Ordinary Shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The failure to vote and abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of the proposal. Broker non-votes are not considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on a particular proposal under Cayman Islands law, assuming a valid quorum is established.

 

The Redomestication Merger Proposal is conditioned on the approval of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals is not approved, the Redomestication Merger Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of DTCS Ordinary Shares.

 

Resolution to be Voted Upon

 

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

 

“RESOLVED, as a special resolution, that (i) the Redomestication Merger Cayman Plan of Merger, substantially in the form attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex K, be authorized, approved and confirmed in all respects, and DTCS be and is hereby authorized to enter into the Redomestication Merger Cayman Plan of Merger, and that (ii) the Redomestication Merger, with the Purchaser surviving the merger, is hereby authorized, approved and confirmed in all respect

 

Recommendation of the DTCS Board

 

THE DTCS BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT DTCS SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE REDOMESTICATION MERGER PROPOSAL.

 

155

 

 

PROPOSAL NO. 3: THE STOCK ISSUANCE PROPOSALS

 

Overview

 

Assuming the Business Combination Proposal and the other Condition Precedent Proposals are approved, DTCS’s shareholders are also being asked to approve, by ordinary resolution, the Business Combination Agreement Stock Issuance Proposal and PIPE Stock Issuance Proposal.

 

Why DTCS Needs Shareholder Approval

 

We are seeking shareholder approval in order to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rules, including 5635(a), (b) and (d). Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a), shareholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities in connection with the acquisition of another company if such securities are not issued in a public offering for cash and (A) have, or will have upon issuance, voting power equal to or in excess of 20% of the voting power outstanding before the issuance of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock); or (B) the number of shares of common stock to be issued is or will be equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance of the stock or securities. Collectively, Pubco may issue securities representing 20% or more of our outstanding common stock or 20% or more of the voting power, in each case outstanding before the issuance, pursuant to the issuance of common stock and securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock in connection with the Business Combination.

 

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b), shareholder approval is required when any issuance or potential issuance will result in a “change of control” of the issuer. Although Nasdaq has not adopted any rule on what constitutes a “change of control” for purposes of Rule 5635(b), Nasdaq has previously indicated that the acquisition of, or right to acquire, by a single investor or affiliated investor group, as little as 20% of the common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) or voting power of an issuer could constitute a change of control.

 

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), shareholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities in certain circumstances, including if the number of securities to be issued is, or will be upon issuance, equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance.

 

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, Pubco expects to issue up to an estimated [   ] shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock, consisting of (i) [  ] to the PGUS Stockholders, and (ii) 1,931,000 upon exercise of Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants. Pubco may issue additional common stock and securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock pursuant to warrants, options or certain other subscription, purchase or similar agreements it may enter into prior to Closing. For further details, see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Beneficial Ownership of Securities”. In addition, upon consummation of the Business Combination, DTCS may issue up to [  ] DTCS Ordinary Shares in consummation with the PIPE Financing.

 

Vote Required for Approval

 

The approval of the Stock Issuance Proposals require an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a simple majority of the DTCS Ordinary Shares who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting and otherwise will have no effect on a particular proposal. Broker non-votes are not considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on a particular proposal under Cayman Islands law, assuming a valid quorum is established.

 

The Stock Issuance Proposals are conditioned on the approval of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals is not approved, the Stock Issuance Proposals will have no effect, even if approved by holders of DTCS Ordinary Shares.

 

Resolutions to be Voted Upon

 

The full text of the resolutions to be passed is as follows:

 

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that, for the purposes of complying with the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules, the issuance of (i) Pubco Class A Common Stock to the PGUS Stockholders, (ii) Pubco Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants, and (iii) and to holders of PGUS Warrants and PGUS Options, and (iv) any other issuances of common stock and securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock pursuant to subscription, purchase or similar agreements DTCS has entered, or may enter, into prior to Closing other than the PIPE Financing, be approved in all respects.”

 

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that, for the purposes of complying with the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules, the issuance of any other issuances of common stock and securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock pursuant to the PIPE Subscription Agreements DTCS has entered, or may enter, into prior to Closing, be approved in all respects.”

PROPOSAL NO. 4: THE ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSAL

 

Overview

 

If the Business Combination Proposal and the other Condition Precedent Proposals are approved and the Business Combination is consummated, the Cayman Constitutional Documents of DTCS will be replaced by the Proposed Organizational Documents of Pubco, pursuant to the DGCL.

 

DTCS’s shareholders are asked to approve the Organizational Documents Proposal in connection with the replacement of the Cayman Constitutional Documents.

 

Reasons for the Amendments

 

The DTCS Board’s reasons for proposing the Proposed Organizational Documents are set forth below and more fully detailed for each of the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals set forth in the section entitled “The Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal”. The following is a summary of the key changes effected by the Proposed Organizational Documents, but this summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, a copy of which is included as Annex C, and by reference to the full text of the Proposed By-Laws, a copy of which is included as Annex D:

 

●To increase the total number of shares of our capital stock from [600,000,000] DTCS Ordinary Shares with a par value of $[  ] per share, of DTCS to 1,500,000,000 shares of Pubco capital stock, consisting of 800,000,000 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock, 200,000,000 shares of Pubco Class B Common Stock and 500,000,000 shares of Pubco Preferred Stock, each with par value $0.00001 per share.

 

●

To amend the company name to “PrimeGen Holdings, Inc.”;

 

●To amend the terms of the shares, in particular to provide that each holder of record of a share of Pubco Class A Common Stock shall have one vote and that each holder of record of a share of Pubco Class A Common Stock shall have one votes;

 

●To amend the terms for the authorizations of shares of Pubco; and

 

●To authorize all other changes in connection with the replacement of Cayman Constitutional Documents with the Proposed Organizational Documents in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination (copies of which are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C and Annex D, respectively).

 

Resolution to be Voted Upon

 

The full text of the resolutions to be passed is as follows:

 

“RESOLVED, as a special resolution, that the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of DT Cloud Star Acquisition Corporation currently in effect be amended and restated by the deletion in their entirety and the substitution in their place of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed By-Laws in the form attached to the proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C and Annex D, respectively, including, without limitation, the authorization of the change of name by DTCS to “PrimeGen Holdings, Inc.”, the authorization of the change in authorized share capital as indicated therein, with effect from the registration of DTCS in the State of Delaware as a corporation with the laws of the State of Delaware.”

 

Vote Required for Approval

 

The approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal requires a special resolution, being the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the DTCS Ordinary Shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

 

The Organizational Documents Proposal is conditioned on the approval of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals is not approved, the Organizational Documents Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of DTCS Ordinary Shares.

 

The Sponsor has agreed to vote all the Founder Shares and any Public Shares it may hold in favor of the Organizational Documents Proposal.

 

Recommendation of the DTCS Board

 

THE DTCS BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT DTCS SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSAL.

 

157

 

 

PROPOSAL NO. 5: THE ADVISORY ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSALS

 

If the Business Combination Proposal, the other Condition Precedent Proposals, including the Organizational Documents Proposal, are approved and the Business Combination is consummated, DTCS will replace the Cayman Constitutional Documents, under the Companies Act, with the Proposed Organizational Documents of Pubco, under the DGCL.

 

DTCS’s shareholders are asked to consider and vote upon and to approve on a non-binding advisory basis by ordinary resolution three (3) separate proposals (collectively, the “Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals”) in connection with the replacement of the Cayman Constitutional Documents with the Proposed Organizational Documents. These three (3) proposals are being presented separately in accordance with SEC guidance to give shareholders the opportunity to present their separate views on important corporate governance provisions and will be voted upon on a non-binding advisory basis. This separate vote is not otherwise required by Cayman Islands or Delaware law, but pursuant to SEC guidance, DTCS is required to submit these provisions to its shareholders separately for approval. The shareholder votes regarding these proposals are advisory in nature, and are not binding on DTCS, the DTCS Board, PGUS or the Pubco Board. Furthermore, the Business Combination is not conditioned on the separate approval of the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals (separate and apart from the approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal). Accordingly, regardless of the outcome of the non-binding advisory vote on these proposals, DTCS intends that the Proposed Organizational Documents will take effect from the registration of DTCS in the State of Delaware as a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware, assuming approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the Organizational Documents Proposals.

 

The Proposed Organizational Documents differ materially from the Cayman Constitutional Documents. The following table sets forth a summary of the principal changes proposed between the Cayman Constitutional Documents and the Proposed Organizational Documents. This summary is qualified by reference to the complete text of the Cayman Constitutional Documents of DTCS, which are included as exhibits on an Annual Report on Form 10-K, and, the complete text of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C and the complete text of the Proposed By-Laws, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex D. All shareholders are encouraged to read the Proposed Organizational Documents in their entirety for a more complete description of their terms. Additionally, as the Cayman Constitutional Documents are governed by the Companies Act and the Proposed Organizational Documents will be governed by the DGCL, DTCS encourages shareholders to carefully consult the information set out under the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Redomestication Merger Proposal - Comparison of Shareholder Rights Under Applicable Corporate Law Before and After Redomestication Merger”.

Vote Required for Approval

 

The separate approval of each of the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, each of which is a non-binding vote, requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of holders of a simple majority of the DTCS Ordinary Shares, who being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting and otherwise will have no effect on a particular proposal. Broker non-votes are not considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on a particular proposal under Cayman Islands law, assuming a valid quorum is established. Approval of the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals is not a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination.

 

Recommendation of the DTCS Board

 

THE DTCS BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT DTCS SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ADVISORY ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSALS.

PROPOSAL NO. 6: THE INCENTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL

 

Overview

 

Assuming that the Business Combination and the other Condition Precedent Proposals are approved, DTCS shareholders are also being asked to approve and adopt the New Equity Incentive Plan. Prior to the Closing Date, the DTCS Board will adopt the New Equity Incentive Plan effective as of immediately prior to the Closing, subject to shareholder approval at the extraordinary general meeting. No awards will be made under the New Equity Incentive Plan until after the Closing. Following the Business Combination, Pubco expects that all equity and equity-based awards will be granted under the New Equity Incentive Plan. For further information about the New Equity Incentive Plan, please refer to the complete copy of the New Equity Incentive Plan, which is attached hereto as Annex J.

 

Outstanding awards under the PGUS Equity Incentive Plan will continue to be governed by their existing terms, and in connection with the Business Combination, will be assumed, substituted or converted into awards of Pubco in connection with the Business Combination Agreement. The New Equity Incentive Plan is intended to serve as the successor equity incentive plan of Pubco following the Closing.

 

The DTCS Board believes that approval of the New Equity Incentive Plan is in the best interests of Pubco and its shareholders because it is designed to attract, retain and motivate employees, non-employee directors and consultants, and to align their interests with those of Pubco’s shareholders through equity-based compensation. Accordingly, the DTCS Board recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal.

 

Summary of the New Equity Incentive Plan

 

The following summary describes the material terms of the New Equity Incentive Plan. This summary is not a complete description of all provisions of the New Equity Incentive Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the New Equity Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Annex J, and we urge you to read it in its entirety.

 

Purpose

 

The purpose of the New Equity Incentive Plan is to enable Pubco and its affiliates to attract and retain employees, directors and consultants who contribute to the long-term success of the business, to provide incentives that align the interests of participants with those of Pubco’s shareholders, and to promote the growth and success of Pubco by providing equity-based compensation opportunities.

 

Administration

 

The New Equity Incentive Plan will be administered by a committee of the Pubco Board (the “Committee”), or, in the discretion of the Pubco Board, by the Pubco Board itself. Subject to the terms of the New Equity Incentive Plan and applicable law, the Committee has broad authority to administer the plan, including the authority to:

 

●select eligible participants;

 

●determine the type, number and terms of awards;

 

●establish vesting, exercisability and performance conditions;

 

●amend outstanding awards (subject to participant consent where required);

 

●accelerate vesting or exercisability;

 

●interpret and construe the provisions of the New Equity Incentive Plan and award agreements; and

 

●make all other determinations necessary or advisable for administration of the plan.

 

With respect to awards subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Committee is intended to consist solely of two or more non-employee directors within the meaning of Rule 16b-3.

 

161

 

 

Eligibility

 

Eligible participants under the New Equity Incentive Plan include employees, directors and consultants of Pubco and its affiliates, as well as individuals designated by the Committee who are reasonably expected to become employees, directors or consultants following the grant of an award.

 

Only employees are eligible to receive incentive stock options (“ISOs”).

 

Types of Awards

 

The New Equity Incentive Plan provides for the grant of a broad range of awards, including:

 

●incentive stock options;

 

●non-qualified stock options;

 

●stock appreciation rights;

 

●restricted stock;

 

●restricted stock units (including deferred stock units);

 

●performance share awards;

 

●cash awards; and

 

●other equity-based awards.

 

Each award will be granted pursuant to an award agreement setting forth the specific terms and conditions applicable to the award.

 

Shares Available for Issuance

 

Subject to adjustment, the maximum number of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock available for issuance under the New Equity Incentive Plan will equal:

 

●fifteen (15)% of the Surviving Corporation’s outstanding shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock immediately after Closing, plus

 

●any shares subject to awards granted under the PGUS Equity Incentive Plan that are assumed by Pubco and subsequently forfeited, expired or cancelled without issuance.

 

In addition, the share reserve will automatically increase on January 1 of each year for ten years by the lesser of:

 

●5% of the outstanding shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock as of the preceding December 31, or

 

●such smaller number of shares as determined by the Pubco Board.

 

Shares may be issued from authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares or reacquired shares.

 

Non-Employee Director Limits

 

The total value of equity awards and cash compensation granted or paid to any non-employee director during a single fiscal year will be subject to a maximum annual limit, calculated based on grant-date fair value, as set forth in the New Equity Incentive Plan.

 

162

 

 

Vesting; Termination of Service

 

The Committee determines the vesting and exercisability terms of each award. Unless otherwise provided in an applicable award agreement:

 

●unvested awards are forfeited upon termination of service;

 

●vested stock options and stock appreciation rights generally remain exercisable for three months following termination of service (or 12 months in the case of death or disability); and

 

●all awards terminate immediately upon termination of service for cause.

 

Effect of a Change in Control

 

Unless otherwise provided in an award agreement, upon a Change in Control (as defined in the New Equity Incentive Plan):

 

●outstanding stock options and stock appreciation rights generally become fully exercisable;

 

●restrictions on restricted stock and restricted stock units generally lapse; and

 

●performance-based awards may vest based on actual or assumed achievement of performance goals.

 

The Committee may also provide for the assumption, substitution, cancellation or cash-out of awards in connection with a Change in Control, and is not required to treat all participants or awards uniformly.

 

Adjustment Provisions

 

In the event of stock splits, dividends, recapitalizations, mergers or similar corporate transactions, the Committee is authorized to make equitable adjustments to the number and type of shares available under the New Equity Incentive Plan and to outstanding awards to preserve their intended economic value.

 

Clawback; Forfeiture

 

Awards and any proceeds therefrom are subject to forfeiture or recoupment pursuant to the New Equity Incentive Plan, applicable award agreements and any clawback policy adopted by Pubco, including as required by law or stock exchange rules.

 

Amendment and Termination

 

The Pubco Board may amend or terminate the New Equity Incentive Plan at any time, subject to stockholder approval where required by applicable law or exchange rules. No amendment may materially impair a participant’s rights under an outstanding award without the participant’s consent, except as permitted under the plan.

 

Term of the Plan

 

No awards may be granted under the New Equity Incentive Plan after the tenth anniversary of the plan’s effective date, although awards granted prior to that date may remain outstanding thereafter.

 

Material Federal Income Tax Consequences of the New Equity Incentive Plan 

 

The following is a summary of material U.S. federal income tax consequences associated with awards granted under the New Equity Incentive Plan. The summary does not purport to cover federal employment tax or other U.S. federal tax consequences that may be associated with the New Equity Incentive Plan, nor does it cover state, local or non-U.S. taxes, except as may be specifically noted. The New Equity Incentive Plan is not subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and is not intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code.

 

Stock Options (other than ISOs)

 

In general, a participant has no taxable income upon the grant or vesting of a stock option that is not intended to be an ISO (an “NSO”) but realizes income in connection with the exercise of the NSO in an amount equal to the excess (at the time of exercise) of the fair market value of the shares acquired upon exercise over the exercise price. A corresponding deduction is generally available to us, subject to the limitations set forth in the Code. Upon a subsequent sale or exchange of the shares, any recognized gain or loss is treated as a short-term or long-term capital gain or loss for the participant for which we are not entitled to a deduction.

 

163

 

 

ISOs

 

In general, a participant realizes no taxable income upon the grant or exercise of an ISO. However, the exercise of an ISO may result in an alternative minimum tax liability to the participant. With some exceptions, a disposition of shares purchased pursuant to an ISO within two (2) years from the date of grant or within one (1) year after exercise produces ordinary income to the participant (and generally a deduction to us, subject to the limitations set forth in the Code) equal to the value of the shares at the time of exercise less the exercise price. Any additional gain recognized in the disposition is treated as a capital gain for which we are not entitled to a deduction. If the participant does not dispose of the shares until after the expiration of these one (1) and two (2)-year holding periods, any gain or loss recognized upon a subsequent sale of shares purchased pursuant to an ISO is treated as a long-term capital gain or loss for which we are not entitled to a deduction.

 

SARs

 

The grant of a SAR does not itself result in taxable income, nor does taxable income result merely because a SAR becomes exercisable. In general, a participant who exercises a SAR for shares of stock or receives payment in cancellation of a SAR will have ordinary income equal to the amount of any cash and the fair market value of any stock received upon such exercise. In the case of a current or former employee, this amount is subject to withholding. A corresponding deduction is generally available to us, subject to the limitations set forth in the Code.

 

Restricted Stock Awards

 

A participant who is awarded or purchases shares subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture generally does not have income until the risk of forfeiture lapses. When the risk of forfeiture lapses, the participant has ordinary income equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares at that time over the purchase price, if any, and a corresponding deduction is generally available to us, subject to the limitations set forth in the Code. However, a participant may make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed on restricted stock when it is acquired rather than later, when the substantial risk of forfeiture lapses. A participant who makes an effective 83(b) election will realize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the shares as of the time of acquisition less any price paid for the shares. A corresponding deduction will generally be available to us, subject to the limitations set forth in the Code. If a participant makes an effective 83(b) election, no additional income results by reason of the lapsing of the restrictions.

 

For purposes of determining capital gain or loss on a sale of shares awarded under the New Equity Incentive Plan, the holding period for the shares begins when the participant recognizes taxable income with respect to the transfer. The participant’s tax basis in the shares equals the amount paid for the shares plus any income realized with respect to the transfer. However, if a participant makes an effective 83(b) election and later forfeits the shares, the tax loss realized as a result of the forfeiture is limited to the excess of what the participant paid for the shares (if anything) over the amount (if any) realized in connection with the forfeiture.

 

Restricted Stock Units

 

The grant of a restricted stock unit does not itself generally result in taxable income. Instead, the participant recognizes ordinary income upon settlement of the restricted stock unit following vesting in an amount equal to the cash (if the award is cash settled) or the fair market value of the shares (if the award is stock settled) transferred to the participant, and a corresponding deduction is generally available to us, subject to the limitations set forth in the Code. If the shares delivered are restricted for tax purposes, the participant will instead be subject to the rules described above for restricted stock. Upon resale of the shares acquired pursuant to a restricted stock unit, any subsequent appreciation or depreciation in the value of the shares will be treated as short-term or long-term capital gain or loss depending on how long the shares were held by the recipient.

 

164

 

 

Code Section 409A

 

Application of Section 409A of the Code imposes an additional 20% tax and interest on an individual receiving non-qualified deferred compensation under a plan that fails to satisfy certain requirements. While the awards to be granted pursuant to the New Equity Incentive Plan are expected to be designed to be exempt from or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, if they are not exempt from coverage under such section and do not comply with its requirements, a participant could be subject to additional taxes and interest.

 

Registration with the SEC

 

If the New Equity Incentive Plan is approved by our shareholders and becomes effective, Pubco is expected to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 registering the Pubco Class A Common Stock reserved for issuance under the New Equity Incentive Plan as soon as reasonably practicable after becoming eligible to use such form.

 

Equity Compensation Plan Information

 

DTCS did not maintain, or have any securities authorized for issuance under, any equity compensation plans as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus.

 

New Plan Benefits

 

No awards have been granted under the New Equity Incentive Plan as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. Future awards will be granted in the discretion of the Committee, and therefore the benefits that may be received by participants are not currently determinable.

 

Interest of Directors and Executive Officers

 

All members of the Pubco Board and Pubco executive officers will be eligible to participate in the New Equity Incentive Plan and therefore have an interest in its approval.

 

Resolution to be Voted Upon

 

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

 

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that the New Equity Incentive Plan, in the form attached to the proxy statement/prospectus as Annex J, be adopted and approved.”

 

Vote Required for Approval

 

The approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under the Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the DTCS Ordinary Shares, who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting and otherwise will have no effect on a particular proposal. Broker non-votes are not considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on a particular proposal under Cayman Islands law, assuming a valid quorum is established. The Incentive Plan Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Condition Precedent Proposals. If the Condition Precedent Proposals are not approved, the Incentive Plan Proposal will not be presented at the extraordinary general meeting. The Incentive Plan Proposal will only become effective if the Business Combination is completed.

 

Recommendation of the DTCS Board

 

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

 

165

 

 

PROPOSAL NO. 7: THE DIRECTOR ELECTION PROPOSAL

 

Election of Directors

 

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, DTCS has agreed to take all necessary action, including causing the members of the DTCS Board to resign, so that effective at the Closing, the entire Pubco Board will consist of seven (7) individuals.

 

At the Special Meeting, seven (7) directors will be elected who will be the directors of Pubco upon closing of the Business Combination. Pubco’s board of directors will be of a single class serving a term of one year. If management’s nominees are elected, such nominees will serve as directors until the general meeting to be held in 2027 and, in each case, until their successors are elected and qualified or their earlier resignation or removal. Information regarding each nominee is set forth in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Management of Pubco Following the Business Combination”.

 

Vote Required for Approval

 

The approval of the Director Election Proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a simple majority of the DTCS Ordinary Shares who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting and otherwise will have no effect on a particular proposal. If the Business Combination is not approved, the Director Election Proposal will not be presented at the extraordinary general meeting. The Director Election Proposal will only become effective if the Business Combination is completed.

 

Resolution to be Voted Upon

 

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

 

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that the seven (7) persons named below be elected to serve on the Pubco Board upon the Closing of the Business Combination:

 

[names to be inserted].”

 

Recommendation of the DTCS Board

 

THE DTCS BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” ELECTION OF EACH OF THE DIRECTOR NOMINEES TO THE PUBCO BOARD.

 

166

 

 

PROPOSAL NO. 8: THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

 

The Adjournment Proposal allows the DTCS Board to submit a proposal to approve, by ordinary resolution, the adjournment of the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or convenient, (i) to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with the approval of one or more proposals at the extraordinary general meeting, (ii) if DTCS determines that one or more of the conditions to Closing is not or will not be satisfied or waived or (iii) to facilitate the Redomestication Merger or any other Transaction. The purpose of the Adjournment Proposal is to permit further solicitation of proxies and votes and to provide additional time for the Sponsor, DTCS and their members and shareholders, respectively, to make purchases of DTCS Ordinary Shares or other arrangements that would increase the likelihood of obtaining a favorable vote on the proposals to be put to the extraordinary general meeting, or otherwise increase the likelihood of closing the Business Combination. See “The Business Combination Proposal - Interests of Certain DTCS Persons in the Business Combination”.

 

Consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved

 

If the Adjournment Proposal is presented to the extraordinary general meeting and is not approved by the shareholders, the DTCS Board may not be able to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date (i) in the event that, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the extraordinary general meeting to approve the Condition Precedent Proposals, in which event, the Business Combination would not be completed, and (ii) in the event that adjourning the extraordinary general meeting to a later date would allow for additional time for arrangements that would increase the likelihood of closing the Business Combination, in which event the likelihood of the Business Combination closing would be decreased.

 

Vote Required for Approval

 

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a simple majority of the DTCS Ordinary Shares who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting and otherwise will have no effect on a particular proposal. Broker non-votes are not considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on a particular proposal under Cayman Islands law, assuming a valid quorum is established.

 

The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon any other proposal.

 

Resolution to be Voted Upon

 

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

 

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that the adjournment of the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or convenient, (i) to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with the approval of one or more proposals at the extraordinary general meeting, (ii) if DTCS determines that one or more of the conditions to Closing is not or will not be satisfied or waived or (iii) to facilitate the Redomestication Merger or any other Transaction.”

 

Recommendation of the DTCS Board

 

THE DTCS BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL.

 

The existence of financial and personal interests of DTCS’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of the directors between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of DTCS and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, the Sponsor and DTCS’s officers also have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Business Combination Proposal - Interests of Certain DTCS Persons in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS FOR HOLDERS OF DTCS SECURITIES AND PUBCO SECURITIES

 

The following discussion is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations (a) for U.S. Holders and Non-U.S. Holders (each as defined for purposes of this section below, and together, “Holders”) of DTCS Ordinary Shares and DTCS Units (each, a “DTCS Security”) of the Redomestication Merger, (b) for Holders of DTCS Ordinary Shares that exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination, and (c) of the ownership and disposition of Pubco Class A Common Stock and Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants (each, a “Pubco Security”). With respect to the ownership and disposition of Pubco Securities, this discussion is limited to (x) Pubco Securities received in connection with the Redomestication Merger and (y) Pubco Class A Common Stock received upon the exercise of the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants. This section applies only to Holders that hold their DTCS Securities and Pubco Securities as “capital assets” for U.S. federal income tax purposes (generally, property held for investment).

 

This discussion is limited to U.S. federal income tax considerations and does not address any estate, gift or other U.S. federal non-income tax considerations or considerations arising under the tax laws of any U.S. state, or local or non-U.S. jurisdiction. This discussion does not describe all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to any particular investor in light of their particular circumstances, including the alternative minimum tax, the Medicare tax on certain investment income and the different consequences that may apply to investors subject to special rules under U.S. federal income tax law, such as:

 

●banks, financial institutions or financial services entities;

 

●the Sponsor or its affiliates or any other sponsor, officers or directors of DTCS;

 

●grantor trusts;

 

●subchapter S corporations and any beneficial owners of such entities;

 

●cooperatives;

 

●persons subject to the alternative minimum tax;

 

●personal holding companies;

 

●broker-dealers;

 

●taxpayers that are subject to the mark-to-market accounting rules with respect to the DTCS Securities or Pubco Securities;

 

●tax-exempt entities;

 

●governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;

 

●insurance companies;

 

●regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;

 

●partnerships (including entities or arrangements treated as partnerships) for U.S. federal income tax purposes or persons that hold or will hold the DTCS Securities or Pubco Securities through such partnerships;

 

●U.S. expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States;

 

●except as specifically provided below, persons that directly, indirectly, or constructively own five percent (5%) or more (by vote or value) of DTCS’s shares or Pubco’s stock;

 

●persons that acquired their DTCS Securities or Pubco Securities pursuant to an exercise of employee share options, in connection with employee share incentive plans or otherwise as compensation;

 

●persons that hold or will hold their DTCS Securities or Pubco Securities as part of a straddle, constructive sale, hedge, wash sale, conversion or other integrated or similar transaction;

 

●U.S. Holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar; or

 

●“specified foreign corporations” (including “controlled foreign corporations”), “passive foreign investment companies” or corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax.

 

168

 

 

If a partnership (or any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership) for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds DTCS Securities or Pubco Securities, the tax treatment of such partnership and a person treated as a partner of such partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner level. Partnerships holding any DTCS Securities or Pubco Securities and persons that are treated as partners of such partnerships should consult their tax advisors as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences to them of the Redomestication Merger, the Acquisition Merger, the exercise of redemption rights with respect to DTCS Ordinary Shares, and the ownership and disposition of Pubco Securities.

 

This discussion is based on the Code, Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (whether final, temporary, or proposed), and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof, all as of the date hereof. All of the foregoing is subject to change, which change could apply retroactively and could affect the tax considerations described herein. DTCS has not sought, and does not intend to seek, any rulings from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax considerations described herein. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not take positions inconsistent with the considerations discussed below or that any such positions would not be sustained by a court.

 

THIS DISCUSSION IS ONLY A SUMMARY OF CERTAIN MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE REDOMESTICATION MERGER, THE EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO DTCS CLASS A ORDINARY SHARES, AND THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF PUBCO SECURITIES. EACH HOLDER SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH HOLDER OF THE REDOMESTICATION MERGER, THE EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO DTCS CLASS A ORDINARY SHARES, AND THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF PUBCO SECURITIES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECTS OF U.S. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX LAWS.

 

For purposes of this discussion, because the components of a DTCS Unit are generally separable at the option of the holder, the holder of a DTCS Unit generally should be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as the owner of the underlying DTCS Ordinary Share and DTCS Right components of the DTCS Unit, and the discussion below with respect to actual Holders of DTCS Ordinary Shares and DTCS Rights also should apply to holders of DTCS Units (as the deemed owners of the underlying DTCS Ordinary Shares and DTCS Rights that constitute the DTCS Units). Accordingly, the separation of a DTCS Unit into one DTCS Ordinary Share and one DTCS Right underlying the DTCS Unit generally should not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This position is not free from doubt, and no assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a contrary position. Holders of DTCS Securities are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal, state, local and any non-U.S. tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by the Redomestication Merger and the Business Combination (including the exercise of any redemption rights) with respect to any DTCS Ordinary Shares and DTCS Rights held through DTCS Units (including alternative characterizations of DTCS Units).

 

I.TAX TREATMENT OF THE REDOMESTICATION MERGER

 

The U.S. federal income tax consequences to the Holders of the Redomestication Merger will depend primarily upon whether the Redomestication Merger qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code (a “Reorganization”).

 

Pursuant to the Redomestication Merger, DTCS, a Cayman entity, will merge with and into Pubco, a Delaware entity, with Pubco continuing as the surviving entity, and, effective immediately following the Closing, will be renamed “PrimeGen US, Inc.”

 

Whether the Redomestication Merger will qualify as a Reorganization is not free from doubt due to the absence of direct guidance on the application of Section 368(a)(1) of the Code to an entity that holds only investment-type assets. Accordingly, due to the absence of such guidance, it is not possible to predict whether the IRS or a court considering the issue would take a contrary position.

 

169

 

 

The obligations of DTCS to undertake the Redomestication Merger and the Business Combination are not conditioned on the receipt of an opinion regarding the Redomestication Merger’s qualification as a Reorganization. DTCS has not requested, and does not intend to request, a ruling from the IRS as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Redomestication Merger. Consequently, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of those set forth below. Accordingly, each Holder of DTCS Securities is urged to consult its tax advisor with respect to the particular tax consequence of the Redomestication Merger to such Holder.

 

If the Redomestication Merger qualifies as a Reorganization, the Redomestication Merger should be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as if DTCS (a) transferred all of its assets and liabilities to Pubco in exchange for all of the outstanding stock and warrants of Pubco; and (b) then distributed such shares of stock and warrants of Pubco to the holders of securities of DTCS in liquidation of DTCS. The taxable year of DTCS will be deemed to end on the date of the Redomestication Merger.

 

If the Redomestication Merger fails to qualify as a Reorganization, a Holder of DTCS Securities generally would be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having exchanged its DTCS Securities for Pubco Securities in a taxable transaction, as discussed further below.

 

II.U.S. HOLDERS

 

As used in this section, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of a DTCS Security or a Pubco Security, as applicable, who or that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

 

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

 

●a corporation that is created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

 

●an estate 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 administration of such trust and one or more “United States persons” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) it has a valid election in place to be treated as a United States person.

 

A.Tax Effects of the Redomestication Merger to U.S. Holders

 

1.Generally

 

Assuming the Redomestication Merger qualifies as a Reorganization, U.S. Holders of DTCS Securities generally are not expected to recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes in connection with the Redomestication Merger, except as provided below under the sections entitled “- 3. Effects of Section 367 to U.S. Holders of DTCS Ordinary Shares” and “- 5. PFIC Considerations”.

 

Subject to the discussion below under the section entitled “- 5. PFIC Considerations”, if the Redomestication Merger fails to qualify as a Reorganization, a U.S. Holder of DTCS Securities generally would recognize gain or loss with respect to its DTCS Securities in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the fair market value of the corresponding Pubco Securities received in the Redomestication Merger and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its DTCS Securities surrendered.

 

2.Basis and Holding Period Considerations

 

If the Redomestication Merger qualifies as a Reorganization, subject to the discussion below under the section entitled “- 5. PFIC Considerations”: (a) the tax basis of a share of Pubco Class A Common Stock received by a U.S. Holder in the Redomestication Merger will equal the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the DTCS Ordinary Share surrendered in exchange therefor, increased by any amount included in the income of such U.S. Holder as a result of Section 367 of the Code (as discussed below) and (b) the holding period for a share of Pubco Class A Common Stock received by a U.S. Holder will include such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the DTCS Ordinary Share surrendered in exchange therefor.

 

170

 

 

If the Redomestication Merger fails to qualify as a Reorganization, the U.S. Holder’s basis in the Pubco Class A Common Stock would be equal to the fair market value of such Pubco Class A Common Stock on the date of the Redomestication Merger, and such U.S. Holder’s holding period for such Pubco Class A Common Stock would begin on the day following the date of the Redomestication Merger. Holders who hold different blocks of DTCS Securities (generally, DTCS Securities purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) should consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them, and the discussion above does not specifically address all of the consequences to U.S. Holders who hold different blocks of DTCS Securities.

 

3.Effects of Section 367 to U.S. Holders of DTCS Ordinary Shares

 

Section 367 of the Code applies to certain transactions involving foreign corporations, including a domestication of a foreign corporation in a transaction that qualifies as a Reorganization. Subject to the discussion below under the section entitled “- 5. PFIC Considerations”, Section 367 of the Code imposes U.S. federal income tax on certain U.S. persons in connection with transactions that would otherwise be tax-deferred. The following discussion assumes the Redomestication Merger will qualify as a Reorganization, and as such, Section 367(b) of the Code will generally apply to U.S. Holders on the date of the Redomestication Merger.

 

a.U.S. Holders Who Own 10 Percent or More (By Vote or Value) of DTCS Shares

 

Subject to the discussion below under the section entitled “- 5. PFIC Considerations”, a 10% U.S. Shareholder on the date of the Redomestication Merger must include in income as a deemed dividend deemed paid by DTCS the “all earnings and profits amount” attributable to the DTCS Ordinary Shares it directly owns within the meaning of Treasury Regulations under Section 367 of the Code. A U.S. Holder’s ownership of DTCS Rights will be taken into account in determining whether such U.S. Holder is a 10% U.S. Shareholder. Complex attribution rules apply in determining whether a U.S. Holder is a 10% U.S. Shareholder and all U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to these attribution rules.

 

A 10% U.S. Shareholder’s “all earnings and profits amount” with respect to its DTCS Ordinary Shares is the net positive earnings and profits of DTCS attributable to such DTCS Ordinary Shares (as determined under Treasury Regulations under Section 367 of the Code) but without regard to any gain that would be realized on a sale or exchange of such DTCS Ordinary Shares.

 

The determination of earnings and profits is complex and may be impacted by numerous factors. All U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to these rules.

 

b.U.S. Holders Who Own Less Than 10% (By Vote or Value) of DTCS Shares

 

Subject to the discussion below under the section entitled “- 5. PFIC Considerations”, a U.S. Holder who, on the date of the Redomestication Merger, is not a 10% U.S. Shareholder and whose DTCS Ordinary Shares have a fair market value of $50,000 or more on the date of the Redomestication Merger will recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to its DTCS Ordinary Shares in the Redomestication Merger or, in the alternative, may elect to recognize the “all earnings and profits” amount attributable to such U.S. Holder’s DTCS Ordinary Shares as described below.

 

Unless a U.S. Holder makes the “all earnings and profits election” as described below, such U.S. Holder generally must recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to Pubco Class A Common Stock received in the Redomestication Merger in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of such Pubco Class A Common Stock over the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the DTCS Ordinary Shares deemed surrendered in exchange therefor. U.S. Holders who hold different blocks of DTCS Ordinary Shares (generally, DTCS Ordinary Shares purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) should consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them.

 

171

 

 

In lieu of recognizing any gain as described in the preceding paragraph, a U.S. Holder may elect to include in income as a deemed dividend deemed paid by DTCS the “all earnings and profits amount” attributable to its DTCS Ordinary Shares under Section 367(b) of the Code. There are, however, strict conditions for making this election.

 

If it were determined that DTCS had positive earnings and profits through the date of the Redomestication Merger, a U.S. Holder that makes the election described herein could have an “all earnings and profits amount” with respect to its DTCS Ordinary Shares, and thus could be required to include that amount in income as a deemed dividend deemed paid by DTCS under applicable Treasury Regulations as a result of the Redomestication Merger.

 

EACH U.S. HOLDER IS URGED TO CONSULT ITS TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE CONSEQUENCES TO IT OF MAKING AN ELECTION TO INCLUDE IN INCOME THE “ALL EARNINGS AND PROFITS AMOUNT” ATTRIBUTABLE TO ITS DTCS CLASS A ORDINARY SHARES UNDER SECTION 367(b) OF THE CODE AND THE APPROPRIATE FILING REQUIREMENTS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH AN ELECTION.

 

A U.S. Holder who, on the date of the Redomestication Merger, is not a 10% U.S. Shareholder and whose DTCS Ordinary Shares have a fair market value of less than $50,000 on the date of the Redomestication Merger generally should not be required to recognize any gain or loss or include any part of the “all earnings and profits amount” in income under Section 367 of the Code in connection with the Redomestication Merger. However, such U.S. Holder may be subject to taxation under the PFIC rules as discussed below under the section entitled “- 5. PFIC Considerations”.

 

172

 

 

ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE EFFECT OF SECTION 367 OF THE CODE TO THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

 

5.PFIC Considerations

 

Regardless of whether the Redomestication Merger qualifies as a Reorganization (and, if the Redomestication Merger qualifies as a Reorganization, in addition to the discussion above under the section entitled “- 3. Effects of Section 367 to U.S. Holders of DTCS Ordinary Shares”), the Redomestication Merger could be a taxable event to U.S. Holders under the PFIC provisions of the Code if DTCS is considered a PFIC.

 

a.Definition of a PFIC

 

A foreign (i.e., non-U.S.) corporation will be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes if either (a) at least seventy five percent (75%) of its gross income in a taxable year, including its pro rata share of the gross income of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least twenty five percent (25%) of the shares by value, is passive income or (b) at least fifty percent (50%) of its assets in a taxable year (generally determined based on fair market value and averaged quarterly over the year), including its pro rata share of the assets of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least twenty five percent (25%) of the shares by value, are held for the production of, or produce, passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents and royalties (other than rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business received from unrelated persons) and gains from the disposition of passive assets. The determination of whether a foreign corporation is a PFIC is made annually.

 

c.PFIC Status of DTCS

 

Because DTCS is a blank check company prior to the Business Combination, and based upon the composition of its income and assets, DTCS may have been a PFIC since its first taxable year and may be considered a PFIC for the taxable year which will end as a result of the Redomestication Merger. However, DTCS’s actual PFIC status for any taxable year will not be determinable until after the end of such taxable year. Accordingly, there can be no assurance with respect to DTCS’s status as a PFIC for the taxable year which will end as a result of the Redomestication Merger, or any other taxable year. DTCS’s U.S. counsel expresses no opinion with respect to DTCS’s PFIC status for any taxable year.

 

d.Effects of PFIC Rules on the Redomestication Merger

 

Even if the Redomestication Merger qualifies as a Reorganization, 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 (including for this purpose, under a proposed Treasury Regulation that generally treats an “option” (which would include a DTCS Right) to acquire the stock of a PFIC as stock of the 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, or if gain recognition under Section 1291(f) of the Code is effective even in the absence of final Treasury Regulations, those proposed Treasury Regulations would require gain recognition to U.S. Holders of DTCS Ordinary Shares as a result of the Redomestication Merger if:

 

(i)

DTCS were classified as a PFIC at any time during such U.S. Holder’s holding period in such DTCS Ordinary Shares or DTCS Rights; and

 

(ii)the U.S. Holder had not timely made (a) a QEF Election (as defined below) for the first taxable year in which the U.S. Holder owned such DTCS Ordinary Shares or in which DTCS was a PFIC, whichever is later (or a QEF Election along with a purging election), or (b) an MTM Election (as defined below) with respect to such DTCS Ordinary Shares. Under current law, neither a QEF Election nor an MTM Election can be made with respect to rights.

 

173

 

 

The tax on any such recognized gain would be imposed based on a complex set of computational rules designed to offset the tax deferral with respect to the undistributed earnings of DTCS. Under these rules (the “excess distributions regime”):

 

●

the U.S. Holder’s gain will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for such U.S. Holder’s DTCS Ordinary Shares;

 

●the amount of gain allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which the U.S. Holder recognized the gain, or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holding period before the first day of the first taxable year in which DTCS was a PFIC, will be taxed as ordinary income;

 

●the amount of gain allocated to each other taxable year (or portion thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in such U.S. Holder’s holding period would be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and applicable to the U.S. Holder; and

 

●an additional tax equal to the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the U.S. Holder in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year or portion thereof (described in the third bullet above) of such U.S. Holder.

 

In addition, the proposed Treasury Regulations provide coordinating rules with Section 367(b) of the Code, whereby, if the gain recognition rule of the proposed Treasury Regulations applied to a disposition of PFIC stock that results from a transfer with respect to which Section 367(b) of the Code requires the U.S. Holder to recognize gain or include an amount in income as a deemed dividend deemed paid by DTCS, the gain realized on the transfer is taxable as an excess distribution under the excess distribution regime, and the excess, if any, of the amount to be included in income under Section 367(b) of the Code over the gain realized under these rules is taxable as provided under Section 367(b) of the Code. See the discussion above under the section entitled “- 3. Effects of Section 367 to U.S. Holders of DTCS Ordinary Shares”.

 

It is difficult to predict whether, in what form and with what effective date, final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code may be adopted if at all, and, further, whether the IRS would take the position that Section 1291(f) of the Code is effective in the absence of final Treasury Regulations. Therefore, U.S. Holders of DTCS Ordinary Shares that have not made a timely and effective QEF Election (or a QEF Election along with a purging election) or an MTM Election (each as defined below) may, pursuant to the proposed Treasury Regulations, be subject to taxation under the PFIC rules on the Redomestication Merger with respect to their DTCS Ordinary Shares under the excess distribution regime in the manner set forth above. A U.S. Holder that made a timely and effective QEF Election (or a QEF Election along with a purging election) or an MTM Election with respect to its DTCS Ordinary Shares is referred to herein as an “Electing Shareholder” and a U.S. Holder that is not an Electing Shareholder is referred to herein as a “Non-Electing Shareholder”.

 

Any gain recognized by a Non-Electing Shareholder of DTCS Ordinary Shares as a result of the Redomestication Merger pursuant to PFIC rules would be taxable income to such U.S. Holder and taxed under the excess distribution regime in the manner set forth above, with no corresponding receipt of cash.

 

As noted above, if DTCS is considered a PFIC, the Redomestication Merger could be a taxable event under the PFIC rules regardless of whether the Redomestication Merger qualifies as a Reorganization, and, absent a QEF Election (or a QEF Election along with a purging election) or an MTM Election, a U.S. Holder would be taxed under the excess distribution regime in the manner set forth above.

 

174

 

 

ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE EFFECTS OF THE PFIC RULES ON THE REDOMESTICATION MERGER, INCLUDING THE IMPACT OF ANY PROPOSED OR FINAL TREASURY REGULATIONS.

 

e.QEF Election and Mark-to-Market Election

 

The impact of the PFIC rules on a U.S. Holder of DTCS Ordinary Shares will depend on whether the U.S. Holder has made a timely and effective election to treat DTCS as a “qualified electing fund” under Section 1295 of the Code for the taxable year that is the first year in the U.S. Holder’s holding period of DTCS Ordinary Shares during which DTCS qualified as a PFIC (a “QEF Election”) or, if in a later taxable year, the U.S. Holder made a QEF Election along with a purging election. One type of purging election creates a deemed sale of the U.S. Holder’s DTCS Ordinary Shares at their then fair market value and requires the U.S. Holder to recognize gain pursuant to such purging election subject to the excess distribution regime described above. As a result of any such purging election, the U.S. Holder would increase the adjusted tax basis in its DTCS Ordinary Shares by the amount of the gain recognized and, solely for purposes of the PFIC rules, would have a new holding period in its DTCS Ordinary Shares. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors as to the application of the rules governing purging elections to their particular circumstances.

 

A U.S. Holder’s ability to make a timely and effective QEF Election (or a QEF Election along with a purging election) with respect to its DTCS Ordinary Shares is contingent upon, among other things, the provision by DTCS of a “PFIC Annual Information Statement” to such U.S. Holder. If we determine we are a PFIC for any taxable year, upon written request, we will endeavor to provide to a U.S. Holder such information as the IRS may require, including a PFIC Annual Information Statement, in order to enable the U.S. Holder to make and maintain a QEF election, but there is no assurance that we will timely provide such required information. As discussed above, a U.S. Holder is not able to make a QEF Election with respect to DTCS Rights under current law. An Electing Shareholder generally would not be subject to the excess distribution regime discussed above with respect to their DTCS Ordinary Shares. As a result, if the Redomestication Merger qualifies as a Reorganization, an Electing Shareholder generally is not expected to recognize gain or loss as a result of the Redomestication Merger except to the extent described under “- 3. Effects of Section 367 to U.S. Holders of DTCS Ordinary Shares”, and subject to the discussion above under “- A. Tax Effects of the Redomestication Merger to U.S. Holders”, but rather, pursuant to a timely and effective QEF Election, would include annually in gross income its pro rata share of the ordinary earnings and net capital gain of DTCS, whether or not such amounts are actually distributed.

 

The impact of the PFIC rules on a U.S. Holder of DTCS Ordinary Shares may also depend on whether the U.S. Holder has made a mark-to-market election under Section 1296 of the Code (an “MTM Election”). U.S. Holders who hold (directly or constructively) stock of a foreign corporation that is classified as a PFIC may elect to mark such stock to its market value each taxable year if such stock is “marketable stock”, generally, stock that is regularly traded on a national securities exchange that is registered with the SEC, including Nasdaq. No assurance can be given that DTCS Ordinary Shares are considered to be marketable stock for purposes of the MTM Election for any taxable year or whether the other requirements of this election are satisfied. If such an election is available and has been made, such Electing Shareholder generally would not be subject to the excess distributions regime discussed above with respect to their DTCS Ordinary Shares in connection with the Redomestication Merger. Instead, in general, such Electing Shareholder will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its DTCS Ordinary Shares at the end of its taxable year over its adjusted tax basis in its DTCS Ordinary Shares. The Electing Shareholder also will recognize an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of its adjusted tax basis in its DTCS Ordinary Shares over the fair market value of its DTCS Ordinary Shares at the end of its taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the MTM Election). The Electing Shareholder’s tax basis in its DTCS Ordinary Shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts, and any further gain recognized on a sale or other taxable disposition of its DTCS Ordinary Shares will be treated as ordinary income. However, if the MTM Election is not made by a U.S. Holder with respect to the first taxable year of its holding period for the DTCS Ordinary Shares in which DTCS is a PFIC, then the excess distribution regime discussed above will apply to certain dispositions of, distributions on and other amounts taxable with respect to, DTCS Ordinary Shares, including in connection with the Redomestication Merger. Under current law, an MTM Election is not available with respect to rights, including the DTCS Rights.

 

175

 

 

THE RULES DEALING WITH PFICS ARE COMPLEX AND ARE IMPACTED BY VARIOUS FACTORS IN ADDITION TO THOSE DESCRIBED ABOVE, INCLUDING THE APPLICATION OF THE RULES ADDRESSING OVERLAPS IN THE PFIC RULES AND THE SECTION 367(b) RULES AND THE RULES RELATING TO CONTROLLED FOREIGN CORPORATIONS. ALL U.S. HOLDERS OF DTCS SECURITIES ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE PFIC RULES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WHETHER A QEF ELECTION (OR A QEF ELECTION ALONG WITH A PURGING ELECTION), AN MTM ELECTION OR ANY OTHER ELECTION IS AVAILABLE AND WHETHER AND HOW ANY OVERLAP RULES APPLY, AND THE CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF ANY SUCH ELECTION AND THE IMPACT OF ANY PROPOSED OR FINAL PFIC TREASURY REGULATIONS.

 

B.Tax Effects to U.S. Holders of Exercising Redemption Rights

 

1.Generally

 

The U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder of DTCS Ordinary Shares that exercises its redemption rights with respect to its DTCS Ordinary Shares will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of shares under Section 302 of the Code with respect to such U.S. Holder. If the redemption qualifies as a sale of shares by a U.S. Holder, the tax consequences to such U.S. Holder are as described below under the section entitled “- 3. Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Sale”. If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of shares, a U.S. Holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution with the tax consequences to such U.S. Holder as described below under the section entitled “- 2. Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Distribution”.

 

Whether a redemption of shares qualifies for sale treatment will generally depend on the total number of shares of DTCS treated as held by the redeemed U.S. Holder before and after the redemption (including any shares treated as constructively owned by the U.S. Holder through others or as a result of owning DTCS Rights and any shares that a U.S. Holder would directly or indirectly acquire pursuant to the Business Combination) relative to all of the stock of DTCS outstanding both before and after the redemption. The redemption generally will be treated as a sale of shares (rather than as a corporate distribution) if the redemption (1) is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the U.S. Holder, (2) results in a “complete termination” of the U.S. Holder’s interest in DTCS or (3) 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 result in a redemption qualifying for sale treatment, a U.S. Holder takes into account not only shares directly owned by the U.S. Holder, but also shares that are constructively owned by it under certain attribution rules set forth in the Code. A U.S. Holder may constructively own, in addition to shares owned directly, shares 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 shares that the holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which would generally include shares which could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of DTCS Rights. Moreover, any shares that a U.S. Holder directly or constructively acquires pursuant to the Business Combination generally should be included in determining the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the redemption.

 

In order to meet the substantially disproportionate test, the percentage of DTCS’s outstanding voting stock directly and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder immediately following the redemption of shares must, among other requirements, be less than eighty percent (80%) of the percentage of DTCS’s outstanding voting stock directly and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder immediately before the redemption (taking into account redemptions by other holders and possibly the Pubco stock to be issued pursuant to the Business Combination). There will be a complete termination of a U.S. Holder’s interest DTCS if either (1) all of the shares directly and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder are redeemed or (2) all of the shares directly owned by the U.S. Holder are redeemed and the U.S. Holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of stock owned by certain family members and the U.S. Holder does not constructively own any other shares (including any stock constructively owned by the U.S. Holder as a result of owning DTCS Rights). The redemption will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if the redemption results in a “meaningful reduction” of the U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in DTCS. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in DTCS will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority stockholder in a publicly held corporation where such stockholder exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction”.

 

176

 

 

If none of the foregoing tests are satisfied, then the redemption of shares generally will be treated as a corporate distribution to the redeemed U.S. Holder and the tax effects to such a U.S. Holder will be as described below under the section entitled “- 2. Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Distribution”. After the application of those rules, any remaining tax basis of the U.S. Holder in the redeemed shares will be added to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its remaining DTCS shares or, if it has none, to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its DTCS Rights or possibly in other DTCS shares constructively owned by it.

 

If DTCS were a PFIC, redeeming U.S. Holders generally would be subject to the PFIC rules relating to the excess distribution regime, QEF Election and MTM Election described above under the section entitled “- A. Tax Effects of the Redomestication Merger to U.S. Holders - 5. PFIC Considerations” with respect to any gain or loss recognized by the U.S. Holder on its deemed sale of its DTCS Ordinary Shares (if the redemption were treated as a sale of shares) or any corporate distributions deemed received on its DTCS Ordinary Shares (if the redemption were treated as a corporate distribution).

 

U.S. Holders who actually or constructively own at least five percent (5%) by vote or value (or, if DTCS Ordinary Shares is not then publicly traded, at least one percent (1%) (by vote or value) or more of the total outstanding DTCS shares may be subject to special reporting requirements with respect to a redemption of shares, and such holders should consult with their tax advisors with respect to their reporting requirements.

 

2.Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Distribution

 

If the redemption of a U.S. Holder’s shares is treated as a corporate distribution, as discussed above under the section entitled “- 1. Generally”, the amount of cash received in the redemption generally will constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from DTCS’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles.

 

Distributions in excess of DTCS’s 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 its shares. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale of shares and will be treated as described below under the section entitled “- 3. Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Sale”.

 

As discussed above, if DTCS were a PFIC, a redeeming U.S. Holder would be subject to the PFIC rules relating to the excess distribution regime, QEF Election and MTM Election described above under the section entitled “- A. Tax Effects of the Redomestication Merger to U.S. Holders - 5. PFIC Considerations” with respect to any corporate distributions deemed received on its DTCS Ordinary Shares (if the redemption were treated as a corporate distribution).

 

3.Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Sale

 

If the redemption of a U.S. Holder’s shares is treated as a sale, as discussed above under the section entitled “- 1. Generally”, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash received in the redemption and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares redeemed. Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares so disposed of exceeds one (1) year. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders generally will be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. It is unclear, however, whether certain redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares may suspend the running of the applicable holding period of the Public Shares for this purpose. If the running of the holding period for the Public Shares is suspended, then non-corporate U.S. Holders may not be able to satisfy the one-year holding period requirement for long-term capital gain treatment, in which case any gain on a redemption that is treated as a sale of the Public Shares would be subject to short-term capital gain treatment and would be taxed at regular ordinary income tax rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

 

As discussed above, if DTCS were a PFIC, a redeeming U.S. Holder would be subject to the PFIC rules relating to the excess distribution regime, QEF Election and MTM Election described above under the section entitled “- A. Tax Effects of the Redomestication Merger to U.S. Holders - 5. PFIC Considerations” with respect to any gain or loss recognized by the U.S. Holder on its deemed sale of its DTCS Ordinary Shares (if the redemption were treated as a sale of shares).

 

177

 

 

U.S. Holders who hold different blocks of shares (including as a result of holding different blocks of DTCS Ordinary Shares purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) should consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them.

 

ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF AN EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS.

 

C.Tax Consequences of Ownership and Disposition of Pubco Securities

 

1.Taxation of Distributions

 

In general, distributions of cash or other property to U.S. Holders of Pubco Class A Common Stock (other than certain distributions of Pubco stock or rights to acquire Pubco stock) generally will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from Pubco’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 its Pubco Class A Common Stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the Pubco Class A Common Stock and will be treated as described below under the section entitled “- 2. Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Pubco Securities”.

 

Dividends paid to a U.S. Holder that is treated as a taxable corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally will qualify for the dividends received deduction if the requisite holding period is satisfied. With certain exceptions (including, but not limited to, dividends treated as investment income for purposes of investment interest deduction limitations), and provided certain holding period and other requirements are met, dividends paid to a non-corporate U.S. Holder may constitute “qualified dividend income” that will be subject to tax at preferential rates accorded to long-term capital gains.

 

2.Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Pubco Securities

 

Upon a sale or other taxable disposition of Pubco Securities (which, in general, would include a redemption of Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants that is treated as a sale of such warrants as described below), a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Pubco Securities. Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Pubco Securities so disposed of exceeds one (1) year. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders may be eligible to be taxed at preferential rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

 

Generally, the amount of gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder is an amount equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received in such disposition and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Pubco Securities so disposed of. See the section entitled “- A. Tax Effects of the Redomestication Merger to U.S. Holders” above for a discussion of a U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Pubco Securities following the Redomestication Merger. See the section entitled “- 3. Exercise, Lapse or Redemption of Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants” below for a discussion regarding a U.S. Holder’s tax basis in Pubco Class A Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of a Pubco Non-Redemption Warrant. See the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations of the Redomestication Merger to Holders of PGUS Stock and PGUS - I. U.S. Holders” below for a discussion of a U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Pubco Class A Common Stock following the Redomestication Merger.

 

3.Exercise, Lapse or Redemption of Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants

 

A U.S. Holder generally will not recognize taxable gain or loss on the acquisition of Pubco Class A Common Stock upon exercise of Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants for cash. The U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock received upon exercise of the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants generally will be an amount equal to the sum of the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants and the exercise price. It is unclear whether the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Pubco Class A Common Stock received upon exercise of the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants will begin on the date following the date of exercise or on the date of exercise of the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants; in either case, the holding period will not include the period during which the U.S. Holder held the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants. If any Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants are allowed to lapse unexercised, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize a capital loss equal to such holder’s tax basis in the lapsed Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants.

 

178

 

 

The tax consequences of a cashless exercise of Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants are not clear under current tax law. A cashless exercise may not be taxable, either because the exercise is not a realization event or because the exercise is treated as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In either situation, a U.S. Holder’s basis in the Pubco Class A Common Stock received would equal the U.S. Holder’s basis in the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants exercised therefor. If the cashless exercise were treated as not being a realization event, it is unclear whether a U.S. Holder’s holding period in the Pubco Class A Common Stock would be treated as commencing on the date following the date of exercise or on the date of exercise of the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants; in either case, the holding period would not include the period during which the U.S. Holder held the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants. If the cashless exercise were treated as a recapitalization, the holding period of the Pubco Class A Common Stock would include the holding period of the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants exercised therefor.

 

It is also possible that a cashless exercise could be treated in part as a taxable exchange in which gain or loss would be recognized. In such event, a U.S. Holder could be deemed to have surrendered a number of Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants equal to the number of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock having a value equal to the exercise price for the total number of Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants to be exercised. In such case, the U.S. Holder would recognize capital gain or loss with respect to the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants deemed surrendered in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the Pubco Class A Common Stock that would have been received in a regular exercise of the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants deemed surrendered and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants deemed surrendered. In this case, a U.S. Holder’s aggregate tax basis in the Pubco Class A Common Stock received would equal the sum of the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants deemed exercised and the aggregate exercise price of such Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants. It is unclear whether a U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Pubco Class A Common Stock would commence on the date following the date of exercise or on the date of exercise of the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants; in either case, the holding period would not include the period during which the U.S. Holder held the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants.

 

Due to the absence of authority on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a cashless exercise, including when a U.S. Holder’s holding period would commence with respect to the Pubco Class A Common Stock received, there can be no assurance regarding which, if any, of the alternative tax consequences and holding periods described above would be adopted by the IRS or a court of law. Accordingly, U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of a cashless exercise.

 

If Pubco redeems Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants for cash or if it purchases Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants in an open market transaction, such redemption or purchase generally will be treated as a taxable disposition to the U.S. Holder, taxed as described above under the section entitled “- 2. Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Pubco Securities”.

 

4.Possible Constructive Distributions

 

The terms of each Pubco Non-Redemption Warrant provide for an adjustment to the number of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock for which the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrant may be exercised or to the exercise price of the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrant in certain events. An adjustment which has the effect of preventing dilution generally is not taxable. A U.S. Holder of the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants would, however, be treated as receiving a constructive distribution from Pubco if, for example, the adjustment increases the U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in Pubco’s assets or earnings and profits (for example, through an increase in the number of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock that would be obtained upon exercise or through a decrease in the exercise price of the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrant), which adjustment may be made as a result of a distribution of cash or other property, such as other securities, to the holders of shares of Pubco stock, or as a result of the issuance of a stock dividend to holders of shares of Pubco stock, in each case, which is taxable to the holders of such shares as a distribution. Such constructive distribution would be subject to tax as described above under the section entitled “- 1. Taxation of Distributions” in the same manner as if the U.S. Holders of the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants received a cash distribution from Pubco equal to the fair market value of such increased interest.

 

179

 

 

D.Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

 

Payments of distributions on and the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of Pubco Securities will be subject to information reporting to the IRS and U.S. backup withholding on such payments may be possible. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number on an IRS Form W-9 and makes other required certifications, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding and establishes such exempt status.

 

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, and the U.S. Holder generally may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by timely filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information.

 

III.NON-U.S. HOLDERS

 

As used in this section, a “Non-U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of a DTCS Security or Pubco Security, as applicable, other than a partnership (including any entity or arrangement classified as a partnership) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, who or that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

 

●a non-resident alien individual, other than certain former citizens and residents of the United States subject to U.S. tax as expatriates;

 

●a foreign corporation; or

 

●an estate or trust that is not a U.S. Holder.

 

A.Tax Effects of the Redomestication Merger to Non-U.S. Holders

 

The Redomestication Merger is not expected to result in any U.S. federal income tax consequences to a Non-U.S. Holder of DTCS Securities unless the Redomestication Merger fails to qualify as a Reorganization and such Non-U.S. Holder holds its DTCS Securities in connection with a conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such Non-U.S. Holder maintains in the United States). Non-U.S. Holders will own stock and warrants of a U.S. corporation, i.e., Pubco, rather than a non-U.S. corporation, i.e., DTCS, after the Redomestication Merger.

 

Although the redemptions of Non-U.S. Holders that exercise redemption rights with respect to DTCS Ordinary Shares will occur prior to the Redomestication Merger, it is possible that the IRS could assert that for U.S. federal income tax purposes such redemptions should be treated as occurring after the Redomestication Merger. If such redemptions are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as occurring after the Redomestication Merger, Non-U.S. Holders exercising redemption rights would be subject to the potential tax consequences of the Redomestication Merger. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the possibility that the redemptions are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as occurring after the Redomestication Merger despite the redemptions occurring in form prior to the Redomestication Merger, including the U.S. federal income tax considerations to them of such treatment.

 

B.Tax Effects to Non-U.S. Holders of Exercising Redemption Rights

 

The U.S. federal income tax consequences to a Non-U.S. Holder of DTCS Ordinary Shares that exercises its redemption rights will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of shares redeemed, as described above under “II. U.S. Holders - B. Tax Effects to U.S. Holders of Exercising Redemption Rights - 1. Generally”. Regardless of whether it is treated as a sale of DTCS Ordinary Shares or as a corporate distribution on the DTCS Ordinary Shares for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the redemption is not expected to result in any U.S. federal income tax consequences to the Non-U.S. Holder unless such Non-U.S. Holder holds such DTCS Ordinary Shares in connection with a conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such Non-U.S. Holder maintains in the United States).

  

180

 

 

C.Tax Consequences of Ownership and Disposition of Pubco Securities

 

1.Taxation of Distributions

 

In general, any distributions (including constructive distributions, but not including certain distributions of Pubco stock or rights to acquire Pubco stock) made to a Non-U.S. Holder of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock, to the extent paid out of Pubco’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, provided such dividends are not effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States, Pubco will be required to withhold tax from the gross amount of the dividend at a rate of thirty percent (30%), unless such Non-U.S. Holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E). In the case of any constructive dividend, it is possible that this tax would be withheld from any amount owed to a Non-U.S. Holder by the applicable withholding agent, including cash distributions on other property or sale proceeds from warrants or other property subsequently paid or credited to such Non-U.S. Holder. Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing (but not below zero) the Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock and, to the extent such distribution exceeds the Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis, as gain realized from the sale or other disposition of the Pubco Class A Common Stock, which will be treated as described below under the section entitled “- 2. Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Pubco Securities”. In addition, if Pubco determines that it is likely to be classified as a “United States real property holding corporation”, the applicable withholding agent may withhold fifteen (15%) of any distribution that exceeds Pubco’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. See the section entitled “- 2. Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Pubco Securities” below.

 

The withholding tax generally does not apply to dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder who provides an IRS Form W-8ECI, certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States. Instead, the effectively connected dividends will be subject to regular U.S. federal income tax as if the Non-U.S. Holder were a U.S. resident, subject to an applicable income tax treaty providing otherwise.

 

A Non-U.S. Holder that is treated as a foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes receiving effectively connected dividends may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” imposed at a rate of thirty percent (30%) (or a lower applicable treaty rate).

 

2.Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Pubco Securities

 

A Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax in respect of gain recognized on a sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition of its Pubco Securities (including an expiration or redemption of the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants as described below under the section entitled “- 3. Exercise, Lapse or Redemption of Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants”), unless:

 

●the gain is effectively connected with the conduct by the Non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such Non-U.S. Holder maintains in the United States);

 

●such Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who was present in the United States for one hundred eighty-three (183) days or more in the taxable year of such disposition (as such days are calculated pursuant to Section 7701(b)(3) of the Code) and certain other requirements are met; or

 

●Pubco is or has been a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition or the Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period for the applicable Pubco Security being disposed of, except, in the case where shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock are “regularly traded” on an “established securities market” (as such terms are defined under applicable Treasury Regulations), (x) the Non-U.S. Holder is disposing of Pubco Class A Common Stock and has owned, whether actually or based on the application of constructive ownership rules, five percent (5%) or less of Pubco Class A Common Stock at all times within the shorter of the five-year period preceding such disposition of Pubco Class A Common Stock or such Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period for such Pubco Class A Common Stock or (y) the Non-U.S. Holder is disposing of Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants and has owned, whether actually or based on the application of constructive ownership rules, five percent (5%) or less of the total fair market value of Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants (provided the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants are considered to be “regularly traded”) at all times within the shorter of the five-year period preceding such disposition of Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants or such Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period for such Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants. There can be no assurance that Pubco Class A Common Stock or Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants will be treated as regularly traded on an established securities market for this purpose. It is unclear how the rules for determining the five percent (5%) threshold for this purpose would be applied with respect to Pubco Class A Common Stock or Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants, including how a Non-U.S. Holder’s ownership of Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants impacts the five percent (5%) threshold determination with respect to Pubco Class A Common Stock and whether the five percent (5%) threshold determination with respect to Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants must be made with or without reference to the Private Placement Warrants. In addition, special rules may apply in the case of a disposition of Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants if Pubco Class A Common Stock is considered to be “regularly traded”, but Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants are not considered to be “regularly traded”. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the foregoing rules in light of their particular facts and circumstances.

 

181

 

 

Unless an applicable treaty provides otherwise, gain described in the first bullet point above will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates as if the Non-U.S. Holder were a U.S. resident. Any gains described in the first bullet point above of a Non-U.S. Holder that is treated as a foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” imposed at a thirty percent (30%) rate (or a lower applicable income tax treaty rate).

 

If the second bullet point applies to a Non-U.S. Holder, such Non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to U.S. tax on such Non-U.S. Holder’s net capital gain for such year (including any gain realized in connection with the redemption) at a tax rate of thirty percent (30%) (or a lower applicable tax treaty rate).

 

If the third bullet point above applies to a Non-U.S. Holder, gain recognized by such holder will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. In addition, Pubco may be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax at a rate of fifteen percent (15%) of the amount realized upon such disposition or redemption that is treated as a sale of shares. Pubco is not expected to be a United States real property holding corporation immediately after the Redomestication Merger or immediately after the Business Combination is completed. However, such determination is factual in nature and subject to change. Accordingly, no assurance can be provided as to whether Pubco would be treated as a United States real property holding corporation in any taxable year.

 

Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them in respect of any loss recognized on a sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition of its Pubco Securities.

 

3.Exercise, Lapse or Redemption of Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants

 

A Non-U.S. Holder generally will not recognize taxable gain or loss on the acquisition of Pubco Class A Common Stock upon exercise of Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants for cash. The Non-U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the share of Pubco Class A Common Stock received upon exercise of Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants generally will be an amount equal to the sum of the Non-U.S. Holder’s tax basis in such Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants and the exercise price. It is unclear whether the Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Pubco Class A Common Stock received upon exercise of the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants will begin on the date following the date of exercise or on the date of exercise of the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants; in either case, the holding period will not include the period during which the Non-U.S. Holder held the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants. If any Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants are allowed to lapse unexercised, a Non-U.S. Holder generally will recognize a capital loss equal to such holder’s tax basis in such lapsed Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them in respect of any such loss recognized.

 

Consistent with the DTCS Rights, the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis in certain circumstances. The U.S. federal income tax characterization of a cashless exercise of Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants are not clear under current tax law. A cashless exercise may not be a taxable exchange, either because the exercise is not a realization event or because the exercise is treated as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In either situation, a Non-U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Pubco Class A Common Stock received would equal the Non-U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants exercised therefor. If the cashless exercise were treated as not being a realization event, it is unclear whether a Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period in the Pubco Class A Common Stock would be treated as commencing on the date following the date of exercise or on the date of exercise of the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants; in either case, the holding period would not include the Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants exercised therefor.

 

If the cashless exercise were treated as a recapitalization, the holding period of the Pubco Class A Common Stock would include the holding period of the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants exercised therefor.

 

It is also possible that a cashless exercise could be treated in part as a taxable exchange in which gain or loss would be recognized. In such event, a Non-U.S. Holder could be deemed to have surrendered a number of Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants equal to the number of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock having a value equal to the exercise price for the total number of Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants to be exercised. In such case, the Non-U.S. Holder would recognize capital gain or loss with respect to the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants deemed surrendered in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the Pubco Class A Common Stock that would have been received in a regular exercise of the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants deemed surrendered and the Non-U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants deemed surrendered. Any gain or loss recognized by a Non-U.S. Holder generally will be taxed as described above in “- 2. Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Pubco Securities”. It is unclear whether a Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Pubco Class A Common Stock would commence on the date following the date of exercise or on the date of exercise of the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants; in either case, the holding period would not include the Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants exercised therefor.

 

182

 

 

Due to the absence of authority on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a cashless exercise, including when a Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period would commence with respect to the Pubco Class A Common Stock received, there can be no assurance regarding which, if any, of the alternative tax consequences and holding periods described above would be adopted by the IRS or a court of law. Accordingly, Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of a cashless exercise.

 

If Pubco redeems Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants for cash or if Pubco purchases Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants in an open market transaction, such redemption or purchase generally will be treated as a taxable disposition to the Non-U.S. Holder, taxed as described above under “- 2. Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Pubco Securities”.

 

Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the exercise, lapse, or redemption of Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants.

 

4.Possible Constructive Distributions

 

Similar with the DTCS Rights, the terms of each Pubco Non-Redemption Warrant provide for an adjustment to the number of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock for which the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrant may be exercised or to the exercise price of the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrant in certain events.] An adjustment which has the effect of preventing dilution generally is not a taxable event. A Non-U.S. Holder of the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrants would, however, be treated as receiving a constructive distribution from Pubco if, for example, the adjustment increases the Non-U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in Pubco’s assets or earnings and profits (for example, through an increase in the number of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock that would be obtained upon exercise or through a decrease in the exercise price of the Pubco Non-Redemption Warrant), which adjustment may be made as a result of a distribution of cash or other property, such as other securities, to the holders of shares of Pubco stock, or as a result of the issuance of a stock dividend to holders of shares of Pubco stock, in each case, which is taxable to the holders of such stock as a distribution. Any constructive distribution received by a Non-U.S. Holder would be subject to U.S. federal income tax (including any applicable withholding) in the same manner as if such Non-U.S. Holder received a corporate distribution from Pubco equal to the fair market value of such increased interest without any corresponding receipt of cash, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of which are described above under “- D. Tax Consequences of Ownership and Disposition of Pubco Securities - 1. Taxation of Distributions”.

 

183

 

 

D.Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

 

Information returns will be filed with the IRS in connection with payments of distributions and the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of Pubco Securities. A Non-U.S. Holder may have to comply with certification procedures to establish that it is not a U.S. person in order to avoid U.S. information reporting and backup withholding requirements. The certification procedures required to claim a reduced rate of withholding under a tax treaty generally will satisfy the certification requirements necessary to avoid the backup withholding as well.

 

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a Non-U.S. Holder generally will be allowed as a credit against such Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, and may entitle such Non-U.S. Holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

 

E.Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

 

Provisions commonly referred to as “FATCA” impose withholding of thirty percent (30%) on payments of dividends (including constructive dividends) on Pubco Securities to “foreign financial institutions” (which is broadly defined for this purpose and in general includes investment vehicles) and certain other non-U.S. entities unless various U.S. information reporting and due diligence requirements (generally relating to ownership by U.S. persons of interests in or accounts with those entities) have been satisfied by, or an exemption applies to, the payee (typically certified as to by the delivery of a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN-E). Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. Under certain circumstances, a Non-U.S. Holder might be eligible for refunds or credits of such withholding taxes, and a Non-U.S. Holder might be required to file a U.S. federal income tax return to claim such refunds or credits. Thirty percent (30%) withholding under FATCA was scheduled to apply to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of property that produces U.S.-source interest or dividends beginning on January 1, 2019, but on December 13, 2018, the IRS released proposed Treasury Regulations that, if finalized in their proposed form, would eliminate the obligation to withhold on gross proceeds. Such proposed Treasury Regulations also delayed withholding on certain other payments received from other foreign financial institutions that are allocable, as provided for under final Treasury Regulations, to payments of U.S.-source dividends, and other fixed or determinable annual or periodic income. Although these proposed Treasury Regulations are not final, taxpayers generally may rely on them until final Treasury Regulations are issued. However, there can be no assurance that final Treasury Regulations will provide the same exceptions from FATCA withholding as the proposed Treasury Regulations.

 

Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the effects of FATCA on their ownership and disposition of Pubco Securities.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS OF THE MERGER TO HOLDERS OF PGUS STOCK

 

The following discussion is a summary of material U.S. federal income tax considerations for U.S. Holders and Non-U.S. Holders (each as defined for purposes of this section below, and together, “Holders”) who exchange PGUS Common Stock (“PGUS Stock”) for Pubco Common Stock. This section applies only to Holders that hold their PGUS Stock as “capital assets” for U.S. federal income tax purposes (generally, property held for investment). This discussion is limited to U.S. federal income tax considerations and does not address any estate, gift or other U.S. federal non-income tax considerations or considerations arising under the tax laws of any U.S. state, or local or non-U.S. jurisdiction. This discussion does not describe all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to any particular investor in light of their particular circumstances, including the alternative minimum tax, the Medicare tax on certain investment income and the different consequences that may apply to investors subject to special rules under U.S. federal income tax law, such as:

 

●banks, financial institutions or financial services entities;

 

●broker-dealers;

 

●taxpayers that are subject to the mark-to-market accounting rules with respect to the Pubco securities;

 

●tax-exempt entities;

 

●governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;

 

●insurance companies;

 

●regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;

 

●partnerships (including entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or pass-through entities (including S Corporations), or persons that hold the Pubco securities through such partnerships or pass-through entities;

 

●U.S. expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States;

 

●persons that actually or constructively own five percent (5%) or more (by vote or value) of PGUS’s equity;

 

●persons that acquired their PGUS Stock pursuant to an exercise of employee share options, in connection with employee share incentive plans, or otherwise as compensation;

 

●persons that hold their PGUS Stock as part of a straddle, constructive sale, hedge, wash sale, conversion or other integrated or similar transaction;

 

●U.S. Holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar; or

 

●“specified foreign corporations” (including “controlled foreign corporations”), “passive foreign investment companies” or corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax.

 

If a partnership (or any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds PGUS Stock, the tax treatment of such partnership and a person treated as a partner of such partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner level. Partnerships holding any PGUS Stock and persons that are treated as partners of such partnerships should consult their tax advisors as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences to them of the Acquisition Merger.

This discussion is based on the Code, Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof, all as of the date hereof. All of the foregoing is subject to change, which change could apply retroactively and could affect the tax considerations described herein. The parties to the Business Combination Agreement have not sought, and do not intend to seek, any rulings from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax considerations described herein. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not take positions inconsistent with the considerations discussed below or that any such positions would not be sustained by a court.

 

THIS DISCUSSION IS ONLY A SUMMARY OF MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ACQUISITION MERGER TO HOLDERS OF PGUS STOCK. EACH HOLDER OF PGUS STOCK SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH HOLDER OF THE ACQUISITION MERGER, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECTS OF U.S. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX LAWS.

 

I.U.S. Holders

 

As used in this section, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of a PGUS Stock who or that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

 

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

 

●a corporation that is created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

 

●an estate 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 administration of such trust and one or more “United States persons” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) it has a valid election in place to be treated as a United States person.

 

Subject to the qualifications and limitations set forth herein, PGUS and DTCS intend for the Acquisition Merger to be treated as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. PGUS and DTCS, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, have agreed not to knowingly take, or knowingly fail to take, any action, if such action or failure to act would reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the Acquisition Merger from qualifying as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and they have agreed to file all tax returns consistently with this position unless required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or a change in applicable law.

 

186

 

 

1Code section 354 provides:

 

“No gain or loss shall be recognized if stock or securities in a corporation a party to a reorganization are, in pursuance of the plan of reorganization, exchanged solely for stock or securities in such corporation or in another corporation a party to the reorganization.”

 

A “reorganization” is a transaction described in Code section 368(a). Provided that certain conditions are met, a statutory merger under state law is a transaction described in Code section 368(a)(1)(A). Under Code section 368(a)(2)(E):

 

“A transaction otherwise qualifying under paragraph (1)(A) shall not be disqualified by reason of the fact that stock of a corporation (referred to in this subparagraph as the “controlling corporation”) which before the merger was in control of the merged corporation is used in the transaction, if—

 

“(i) after the transaction, the corporation surviving the merger holds substantially all of its properties and of the properties of the merged corporation (other than stock of the controlling corporation distributed in the transaction); and

 

“(ii) in the transaction, former shareholders of the surviving corporation exchanged, for an amount of voting stock of the controlling corporation, an amount of stock in the surviving corporation which constitutes control of such corporation.”

 

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, (i) stock of Pubco, which will control DTSQ (Merger Sub) before the reorganization, is being used in the transaction and after the transaction the surviving corporation, PGUS, will hold substantially all of its properties and all of the properties of Merger Sub and (ii) in the transaction former shareholders of PGUS will surrender stock in PGUS which constitutes control (at least 80 percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of PGUS stock entitled to vote and at least 80 percent of the total number of shares of all other classes of PGUS). Accordingly, the merger is described in Code section 368(a)(2)(E) and is not disqualified merely because stock of Pubco is used in the transaction.

 

For a reorganization to qualify under Code section 368, two additional requirements must be met: the “continuity of business enterprise” requirement and the “continuity of interest” requirement. “Continuity of business enterprise requires that the issuing corporation [Pubco] …. either continue the target corporation’s [PGUS’s] historic business or use a significant portion of [PGUS’s] historic business assets in a business.” Treasury Regulation (“Reg”) Sec. 1.368-1(d). Pubco intends to continue PGUS’s historic business.

 

“Continuity of interest requires that in substance a substantial part of the value of the proprietary interests in the target corporation [PGUS] be preserved in the reorganization. A proprietary interest in the target corporation is preserved if, in a potential reorganization, it is exchanged for a proprietary interest in the issuing corporation [Pubco] ….” Reg. Sec. 1-368-1(e)(1)(i). PGUS Stockholders who exchange their PGUS stock are only receiving Pubco stock in return and therefore a proprietary interest in the issuing corporation is retained.

 

An exchange otherwise qualified under Section 368(a) may lose its tax-qualified status if, in connection with the exchange, the target corporation (PGUS) distributes to its shareholders a significant portion of its assets. PGUS has no plans to distribute to its shareholders any portion of its assets in connection with the Acquisition Merger.

 

Based on the foregoing authorities and analysis, it is the opinion of Sichenzia Ross Ference Carmel LLP that the exchange of GPUS Common Stock for Pubco Common Stock will be treated as a reorganization under Code section 368(a)(1)(a) and that under Code section 354 of the Code no gain or loss will be recognized by the U.S. Holders of GPUS Common Stock as a result of the Acquisition Merger. PGUS shareholders will have a basis in their Pubco Common Stock equal to their basis in their PGUS Common Stock (allocated where appropriate to reflect different blocks of PGUS Common Stock exchanged by them) and their holding period in their PGUS Common Stock will carry over to their Pubco Common Stock (again, allocated where appropriate to reflect different blocks of PGUS stock exchanged).

 

In addition, U.S. Holders of PGUS investment warrants or investment stock options will not recognize any gain or loss on the exchange of these securities for comparable securities in Pubco. However, PGUS Holders who acquired their warrants or options through equity incentive plans or other plans of PGUS should consult their own tax advisors as to the tax treatment of the exchange of such securities under the law applicable to such plans.

 

If the Acquisition Merger fails to qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Code, a U.S. Holder of PGUS Stock would recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the fair market value of the Pubco Common Stock received in the Acquisition Merger and (ii) the holder’s basis in the PGUS Stock surrendered therefor. If a U.S. Holder acquired different blocks of PGUS Stock at different times or at different prices, such U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the appropriate manner in which Pubco Common Stock received in the Acquisition Merger should be allocated among different blocks of PGUS Stock. Gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder with respect to PGUS Stock in the Acquisition Merger generally will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if such U.S. Holder has a holding period of more than one (1) year in such PGUS Stock at the time of the Acquisition Merger. Long-term capital gain of non-corporate U.S. Holders (including individuals) generally is taxed at reduced U.S. federal income tax rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Pubco Common Stock received in the Acquisition Merger generally would be equal to the fair market value thereof as of the Effective Time, and the U.S. Holder’s holding period in such Pubco Common Stock generally would begin on the day following the Acquisition Merger.

 

187

 

 

U.S. Holders of PGUS Stock are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences to them of the Acquisition Merger in light of their particular circumstances under applicable U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax laws.

II.NON-U.S. HOLDERS

 

As used in this section, a “Non-U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of PGUS Stock who or that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

●a non-resident alien individual, other than certain former citizens and residents of the United States subject to U.S. tax as expatriates;
   
●a foreign corporation; or
   
●an estate or trust that is not a U.S. Holder.

 

Subject to the discussion of “U.S. real property holding corporations” below, the Acquisition Merger is not expected to result in any U.S. federal income tax consequences to a Non-U.S. Holder that receives Pubco Common Stock in exchange for PGUS Stock in the Acquisition Merger, if the Acquisition Merger qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. If the Acquisition Merger fails to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, a Non-U.S. Holder generally is not expected to be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax in respect of any gain such Non-U.S. Holder recognizes as a result of the exchange of its PGUS Stock for Pubco Common Stock in the Acquisition Merger unless (i) the gain is effectively connected with the conduct by the Non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such Non-U.S. Holder maintains in the United States); or (ii) such Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who was present in the United States for one hundred eighty-three (183) days or more in the taxable year of such disposition (as such days are calculated pursuant to Section 7701(b)(3) of the Code) and certain other requirements are met.

 

Under certain circumstances, Non-U.S. Holders could be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized if PGUS is or has been a “U.S. real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five (5)-year period ending on the date of the Acquisition Merger or the period during which the Non-U.S. Holder held equity in PGUS. However, PGUS has represented in the Acquisition Merger Agreement that it has never owned any real property and, therefore, should not be a U.S. real property holding corporation. For a discussion of the U.S. real property holding company rules that might apply on the sale or disposition of Pubco Securities, Non-U.S. Holders are referred to the discussion under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for Holders of DTCS Securities and Pubco - III. Non-U.S. Holders - Tax Consequences of Ownership and Disposition of Pubco Securities – C. Tax Consequences of Ownership and Disposition of Pubco Securities 2. Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Pubco Securities”

 

III.Reporting Requirements

 

Each Holder that receives shares of Pubco Common Stock in the Acquisition Merger may be required to retain permanent records pertaining to the Acquisition Merger and make such records available to any authorized IRS officers and employees. Such records may include information regarding the number, basis, and fair market value of the PGUS Stock exchanged and Pubco Common Stock received in exchange therefor.

 

Additionally, Holders that are required to file U.S. federal income tax returns and who owned immediately before the Acquisition Merger at least one percent (by vote or value) of the total outstanding equity of PGUS may be required to attach a statement to their U.S. federal income tax returns for the year in which the Acquisition Merger is consummated that contains the information listed in Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-3(b). Such statement must include the Holder’s tax basis in its PGUS Stock surrendered in the Acquisition Merger, the fair market value of such PGUS Stock, the date of the Acquisition Merger and the name and employer identification number of the parties to the reorganization. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of these rules.

 

188

 

 

A Holder may, under certain circumstances, be subject to information reporting and backup withholding (currently at a rate of 24%) on amounts received in the Acquisition Merger, unless such Holder properly establishes an exemption or provides its correct tax identification number and otherwise complies with the applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be refunded or credited against a payee’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, so long as such payee furnishes the required information to the IRS in a timely manner.

 

All Holders of PGUS STOCK are urged to consult their tax advisors as to the tax consequences to them of the ACQUISITION MERGER. The discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences contained herein is intended to provide only a general discussion and is not a complete analysis or description of all potential U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ACQUISITION MERGER. Tax consequences may vary with, or be dependent on, individual circumstances. TAX MATTERS ARE COMPLICATED AND THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE ACQUISITION MERGER WILL DEPEND ON THE FACTS OF EACH HOLDER’S OWN SITUATION.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information presents the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet and statements of operations based upon the combined historical financial statements of PrimeGen US. Inc. (“PGUS”) and DT Cloud Star Acquisition Corporation (“DTCS”) after giving effect to the business combinations and adjustments described in the accompanying notes. DTSQ Purchaser Inc. (“Purchaser” or “Pubco”) is excluded from the pro forma financial statements given that it was incorporated with nominal capital, has no material assets, and operates no businesses.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet of PGUS and DTCS as of June 30, 2026 has been prepared to reflect the effects of the business combination as if it occurred on June 30, 2026. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and for the year ended December 31, 2025 combine the historical results and operations of PGUS and DTCS, giving effect to the business combination as if it occurred at the beginning of those respective periods.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited historical financial statements of PGUS and DTCS and the notes thereto. Additional information about the basis of presentation of this information is provided in the notes below.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma adjustments reflecting the transaction have been prepared in accordance with business combination accounting guidance as provided in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations and reflect the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities based upon the preliminary estimate of fair values, using the assumptions set forth in the notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial information.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is provided for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position that would have occurred if the transaction had been completed as of the dates set forth above, nor is it indicative of the future results or financial position of the combined company. In connection with the pro forma financial information, PGUS allocated the purchase price using its best estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the pro forma acquisition price adjustments are preliminary and subject to further adjustments as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information also does not give effect to the potential impact of current financial conditions, any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies or cost savings that may result from the transaction or any integration costs.

 

Furthermore, the unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations do not include certain nonrecurring charges and the related tax effects which result directly from the transaction as described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial information. Adjustments to the balance sheet at June 30, 2026 are assumed to be made on the balance sheet date. Adjustments to the statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025 are assumed to be made at the beginning of each period.

 

Pro forma adjustments to historical financial information are the following.

 

a) Redomestication of DTCS into Purchaser. DTCS, a Cayman Islands exempted company, merges with and into Purchaser, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of DTCS, with DTSQ Purchaser Inc. surviving the merger as the publicly traded holding company (“Pubco”). Immediately following the Redomestication Merger, Purchaser will be renamed PrimeGen Holdings, Inc. Each Ordinary Share of DTCS converts into one Common Stock of Purchaser. Because the Redomestication Merger is a transaction between entities under common control, it is not accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805. This adjustment converts 2,000,900 non-redeemable Ordinary Shares of DTCS with a par value of $0.0001 into non-redeemable Class A Common Stock of Purchaser with a par value of $0.00001. The difference is recorded as additional paid in capital. There is no accounting impact from conversion of the redeemable shares as they are recorded as a liability and the liability is not impacted by the redomestication.

 

b) Acquisition Merger. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, DTSQ Merger Sub Inc. will merge with and into PGUS, with PGUS surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco. This adjustment reflects the conversion of the outstanding shares of PGUS common stock into Purchaser common stock using an effective conversion ratio of 84.99% of a share of Purchaser common stock for each share of PGUS common stock. This results in the agreed transaction value of $1,489,800,000, after giving effect to the treatment of outstanding PGUS options and warrants. The adjustment reflects the elimination of 18,449,403 historical PGUS shares of common stock due to the conversion ratio, and the issuance of Purchaser common stock.

 

c) Expiration of DTCS redemption option and conversion of Rights. Upon the merger, the redemption option for shares of redeemable stock expires. This entry removes the redemption liability and reclassifies the shares as permanent equity, with a total par value of $17.00 and the remainder to additional paid in capital. The entry also reclassifies the amount in the Trust account to cash. Additionally, 7,100,900 Rights originally obtained by purchasers of DTCS Units convert to 789,656 shares with a total par value of $8.00. This is offset by additional paid in capital. The remainder of this entry reflects the shares becoming permanent equity in each scenario.

 

d) Sponsor Closing Payment. At the closing of the Business Combination between PGUS and DTCS, payment of $2.5 million will be made by PGUS in exchange for 250,000 validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable DTCS Ordinary Shares held by the Sponsor. These shares will be cancelled. Additionally, upon Closing, PGUS will make a payment of up to $1,500,000 to the Sponsor to reimburse Sponsor’s expenses. Total payments are estimated to be $4,000,000.

 

e) Potential PIPE Financing – For purposes of the pro forma financial information, the Company has assumed an additional capital PIPE financing through the sale of PIPE Units consisting of one share and one right to receive 1/9 of a share upon closing of the Business Combination, with an estimated price per share of $10.00. The assumption would result in the issuance of 1,500,000 shares, and an additional 166,666 shares upon settlement of the rights. As of the date of this statement/prospectus, no such PIPE financing has been consummated and no definitive agreements with respect to such financing have been entered into.

 

f) Non-recurring costs. DTCS paid management fees of $60,000 and $120,000 ($10,000 per month) for the periods ended June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, to the Sponsor. Additionally, PGUS paid $500,000 in expense reimbursement to the Sponsor. These costs will not recur after the merger. Total nonrecurring costs are $560,000 and $120,000 for the periods ended June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

 

g) Non-redemption Agreement. On October 22, 2025, a non-redemption agreement was executed between the Sponsor and one unaffiliated third-party DTCS shareholder, where the Sponsor will transfer 200,000 DTCS ordinary shares at closing of the Business Combination to the shareholder, in exchange for the shareholder agreeing not to redeem 600,000 DTCS Ordinary Shares at the Annual Meeting. The transfer of 200,000 DTCS Ordinary Shares held by the Sponsor pursuant to the Non-Redemption Agreement will be accounted for in accordance with ASC 718. The Company will recognize the fair value of the transferred shares as a non-cash expense, with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital, when the transfer occurs upon the closing of the Business Combination. The fair value will be determined based on the market price of DTCS Ordinary Shares at the applicable measurement date, taking into consideration the characteristics of the transferred Founder Shares, including applicable transfer restrictions and other relevant factors. The Non-Redemption Agreement does not contain any put options, price guarantees, or cash-settlement features, and the most-favored-nation provision does not result in liability or derivative classification. For the purposes of this pro forma, as the fair value on the measurement date cannot yet be accurately estimated, the Company is using the redemption price of $11.15 per share to demonstrate the mechanics of the issuance of these shares.

Rights originally obtained by purchasers of DTCS Ordinary Shares remain outstanding regardless of redemption.

 

(3) Under Max Redemption Scenario, assumes a 100% redemption of the 1,652,509 DTCS Ordinary Shares for aggregate redemption payments of $18 million using a per-share redemption price of $11.05. Rights originally obtained by purchasers of DTCS Ordinary Shares remain outstanding regardless of redemption.

PrimeGen US. Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements

 

1.Description of Transaction

 

The transaction contemplated by these unaudited pro forma combined financial statements is described in greater detail elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The transaction includes the redomestication of DT Cloud Star Acquisition Corporation (“DTCS”) from a Cayman Islands exempted company into DTSQ Purchaser Inc. (“Purchaser” or “Pubco”), a Delaware corporation, with Purchaser surviving as the publicly traded holding company. Thereafter, DTSQ Merger Sub Inc. merges with and into PrimeGen US, Inc. (“PGUS”), with PGUS surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco. As a result of the Business Combination, the stockholders of PGUS receive shares of Pubco common stock in exchange for their shares of PGUS common stock.

 

The transaction is expected to be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. PGUS will be deemed the accounting predecessor and the combined entity will be the successor SEC registrant, meaning that PGUS’s financial statements for previous periods will be disclosed in the registrant’s future periodic reports filed with the SEC. Under this method of accounting, DTCS will be treated as the acquired company for financial statement reporting purposes. The most significant change in the successor’s future reported financial position and results are expected to be an estimated net increase in cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities (as compared to PGUS’s balance sheet at June 30, 2026) of between approximately $11 million, assuming the maximum redemption scenario reflected in these unaudited pro forma financial statements, and $29.4 million, assuming no additional shareholder redemptions. The maximum shareholder redemption estimate reflects the redemption of 1,652,509 Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination. In each case the additional cash includes $15 million in gross proceeds from an assumed potential private investment in public equity of PGUS, or PIPE Financing, which is contingent upon the substantially concurrent closing of the Business Combination. As of the date of this statement/prospectus, no such PIPE financing has been consummated and no definitive agreements with respect to such financing have been entered into. Total transaction costs are estimated at approximately $2.5 million.

 

As a result of the Business Combination, Pubco, with PGUS as its operating subsidiary, will become the successor to an SEC-registered and Nasdaq-listed company. Accordingly, PGUS will be required to hire additional personnel and implement procedures and processes to address public company regulatory requirements and customary practices. PGUS expects to incur additional annual expenses as a public company for, among other things, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, director fees, and additional internal and external accounting, legal, and administrative resources, including increased personnel costs, audit and other professional service fees.

 

2.Basis of Presentation

 

The historical financial information has been adjusted to give pro forma effect to events that are (i) directly attributable to the transaction, (ii) factually supportable, and (iii) with respect to the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet and unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results.

 

The financial statements of DTSQ Purchaser Inc. are excluded from the pro forma financial statements given that it was incorporated with nominal capital, has no material assets and operates no businesses.

 

3.Consideration Transferred

 

Consideration for the proposed business combination between DTCS and PGUS is shares of DTCS. The following is the calculation of the exchange ratio of shares of PGUS into shares of DTCS. As DTCS has no assets other than securities at market value, there is no fair value adjustment to the carrying value of DTCS as a result of the business combination.

 

Basis of transaction  $1,489,800,000 
Less: PGUS warrants (1)   (177,397,140)
Less: PGUS options (2)   (148,032,990)

Consideration in shares to PGUS shareholders  $1,164,369,871

Warrants outstanding   17,307,038 
Redemption price  $11.15 
Exercise price  $0.90

Value of PGUS warrants  $177,397,140 
      
(2) Calculation of value of PGUS options     
Options outstanding   13,300,000 
Redemption price  $11.15 
Exercise price  $0.0197 
Intrinsic value  $11.13 
Value of PGUS options  $148,032,990 

 

4. Loss Per Share

 

The pro forma net loss per share is calculated using the historical weighted average shares outstanding, and the reduction of PGUS shares when converted to 84.99% of a DTCS share resulting from the business combination. It is assumed the conversion impacted the outstanding shares since January 1, 2025. As the Business Combination is being reflected as if it had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the shares issuable relating to the Business Combination and related transactions have been outstanding for the entire periods presented. When assuming maximum redemption, this calculation is adjusted to eliminate such shares for the entire period.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared assuming three alternative levels of redemption for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and year ended December 31, 2025:

INFORMATION ABOUT DTCS

 

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our” refer to DTCS prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.

 

Overview

 

We are a blank check company incorporated on November 9, 2022, 2024 as a Cayman Islands exempted company and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. DTCS has neither engaged in any operations other than in connection with the Transactions nor generated any operating revenues to date.

 

We may pursue an initial business combination target in any business or industry or at any stage of its corporate evolution. Our primary focus, however, will be in completing a business combination with an established business of scale poised for continued growth, led by a highly regarded management team. Our management team has an extensive track record of acquiring attractive assets at disciplined valuations, investing in growth while fostering financial discipline and improving business results.

 

The 2024 SPAC Rules may materially affect our ability to complete any potential initial business combination and may increase the costs and time related thereto.

 

Formation and Initial Public Offering

 

In November 2022, March 2023 and January 2024, an aggregate of 1,725,000 initial shares were issued to the initial shareholders of DTCS for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.014 per share.

 

On July 26, 2024, DTCS consummated the initial public offering of 6,900,000 units, which included the exercise in full by the underwriters of their over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 900,000 units on July 25, 2024. Each unit consists of one ordinary share and one right. Each nine rights entitle the holder thereof to receive one ordinary share at the closing of a business combination. The units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $69,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of our initial public offering on July 26, 2024, DTCS consummated the private placement with the Sponsor, of 206,900 units at a price of $10.00 per private unit, generating total gross proceeds of $2,069,000. A total of $69,000,000 of the net proceeds from our initial public offering were deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of our public shareholders, with Wilmington Trust National Association acting as trustee.

 

The Units of DTCS started to be listed on The Nasdaq Global Market and began trading under the ticker symbol “DTSQU” on July 25, 2024. On September 12, 2024, DTCS announced that the holders of the Units may elect to separately trade the underlying component securities of the Units commencing on September 16, 2024.

 

Business Combination Agreement

 

On February 2, 2026, DTCS entered into the Business Combination Agreement with PGUS, Merger Sub and Purchaser, pursuant to which, among other things, subject to shareholder approval, following the Mergers, Merger Sub will merge with and into PGUS, with PGUS surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of DTCS, resulting in a combined company whereby DTCS will become the manager of PGUS Inc, and substantially all of the assets and the business of the combined company will be held by PGUS Inc and its subsidiaries.

 

Prior to and as a condition of the Closing, pursuant to the Redomestication Merger, DTCS will change its jurisdiction of incorporation by migrating to and domesticating as a Delaware corporation in accordance with Section 388 of the DGCL, as amended, and the Companies Act.

 

We are not presently engaged in, and we will not engage in, any operations until the consummation of the Business Combination. We intend to effectuate the Business Combination using cash held in the Trust Account, the proceeds of any PIPE Financing, and shares issued to PGUS.

 

If not all of the funds released from the Trust Account are used from redemptions of DTCS Ordinary Shares, we may use the balance of the cash released to us from the Trust Account for general corporate purposes, including to pay transaction expenses and for DTCS’s working capital.

 

PIPE Subscription Agreements

 

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, no PIPE Financings have been consummated.

 

General

 

Our management is pragmatic, measuring our success in both immediate and continuous financial return across all stakeholders. Our management’s investment philosophy has been shaped by the many transactions they have originated, combined with their hands-on experiences as entrepreneurial leaders across the growth spectrum, from startups to multi-billion-dollar corporations.

 

We believe in quality management teams that lead attractive target businesses. Successful teams understand not only their craft, but the limitations in their businesses, and realize that efficient scaling requires a consistent onboarding of knowledge, expertise, and varied points of view, as well as capital, to continue winning the challenge of sustained extraordinary growth.

 

195

 

 

Unlocking value and growth potential for our investors, our business combination targets, and ourselves is a balanced multi-part equation crafted through an alignment of incentives and an incremental injection of value from and across all stakeholders.

 

Our management has been and continues to be entrepreneurs, managers, board members and investors in public and private enterprises that we find exciting. It is with real knowledge of the successes and failures of talented and energetic creators that we offer our counsel as partners in seeking to unlock further growth and value, as well as our support and a matching of intense work ethic, to the managers of businesses we select for combination.

 

Our Sponsor

 

The Sponsor was responsible for organizing, directing and managing the business and affairs of DTCS from its inception until consummation of the IPO. The Sponsor’s activities included identifying and negotiating terms with the representative of the underwriters in the IPO, other third-party service providers such as DTCS’s auditors and legal counsel, and DTCS’s original directors and officers. Since the DTCS IPO, the Sponsor has assisted DTCS’s management in identifying and negotiating terms with prospective target companies. The Sponsor has had no operations outside of the responsibilities described above that it has fulfilled to DTCS.

 

Other than as described above, the Sponsor and promoters do not have any material roles or responsibilities in directing and managing SPAC’s activities.

 

Notwithstanding our management team’s past experiences, past performance is not a guarantee (i) that we will be able to identify a suitable candidate for our initial business combination or (ii) that we will provide an attractive return to our shareholders from any business combination we may consummate. You should not rely on the historical record of our management’s performance as indicative of our future performance.

 

Business Operations

 

As of the date of this proxy statement, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity through the date of this proxy statement related to the Company’s formation, the IPO, which is described below, and, after the IPO and identifying a target company for a business combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial business combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO.

 

On July 26, 2024, DTCS consummated the initial public offering of 6,900,000 units, which included the exercise in full by the underwriters of their over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 900,000 units on July 25, 2024. Each unit consists of one ordinary share and one right. Each nine rights entitle the holder thereof to receive one ordinary share at the closing of a business combination. The units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $69,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of our initial public offering on July 26, 2024, DTCS consummated the private placement with the Sponsor, of 206,900 units at a price of $10.00 per private unit, generating total gross proceeds of $2,069,000. A total of $69,000,000 of the net proceeds from our initial public offering were deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of our public shareholders, with Wilmington Trust National Association acting as trustee.

 

The Units of DTCS started to be listed on The Nasdaq Global Market and began trading under the ticker symbol “DTSQU” on July 25, 2024. On September 12, 2024, DTCS announced that the holders of the Units may elect to separately trade the underlying component securities of the Units commencing on September 16, 2024.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a business combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a business combination successfully. The Company must complete an initial business combination having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the trust account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial business combination. The Company will only complete a business combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

 

The Company will provide its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a business combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the business combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a business combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The stockholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the trust account (initially $[ ] per share), plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations. The per-share amount to be distributed to stockholders who redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters. There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a business combination with respect to the Company’s warrants.

 

The Company will proceed with a business combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $[ ] upon such consummation of a business combination unless a shareholder proposal to approve an amendment to the Company’s Cayman Constitutional Documents to eliminate the limitation is approved and, if a majority of the outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the business combination. If a stockholder vote is not required and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Cayman Constitutional Documents, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a business combination. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a business combination, the Company’s Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 6) and any Public Shares purchased by it during or after the IPO in favor of approving a business combination. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against a business combination.

 

If the Company seeks stockholder approval of a business combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Company’s Proposed Certificate of Incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to 15% or more of the Public Shares, without the Company’s prior written consent.

 

The Sponsor has agreed to (a) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of the initial business combination; (b) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and Public Shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Cayman Constitutional Documents; (c) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to their founder shares if the Company fails to complete the initial business combination within the Completion Window, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial business combination within the Completion Window and to liquidating distributions from assets outside the trust account; and (iv) vote any founder shares held by them and any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions, aside from shares they may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, which would not be voted in favor of approving the business combination) in favor of the initial business combination.

 

197

 

 

In order to protect the amounts held in the trust account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below (1) $[ ] per Public Share or (2) 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 the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay our taxes. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the trust account and will not apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the 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. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the trust account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the trust account.

 

Acquisition Process

 

In evaluating PGUS as a prospective target business, we conducted a due diligence review which has encompassed, among other things, meetings with incumbent management and employees, document reviews, interviews of customers and suppliers, inspection of facilities, as applicable, as well as a review of financial, operational, legal and other information about the target and its industry which have been made available to us. As described herein, our management devoted significant energy to structuring and negotiating the terms of the business combination transaction with PGUS.

 

The aggregate time required to select and evaluate a target business and to structure and complete our initial business combination, and the costs associated with this process, are not currently ascertainable with any degree of certainty. Any costs incurred with respect to the identification and evaluation of, and negotiation with, a prospective target business with which our initial business combination is not ultimately completed will result in our incurring losses and will reduce the funds available for us to use to complete another business combination.

 

Initial Business Combination

 

Nasdaq rules require that we must complete one or more business combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the assets held in the trust account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the trust account). If our board of directors is not able to independently determine the fair market value of our initial business combination, we will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions with respect to the satisfaction of such criteria. While we consider it likely that our board of directors will be able to make an independent determination of the fair market value of our initial business combination, it may be unable to do so if it is less familiar or experienced with the business of a particular target or if there is a significant amount of uncertainty as to the value of the target’s assets or prospects. The DTCS Board determined that this test was met in connection with the Business Combination. Additionally, pursuant to Nasdaq rules, any initial business combination must be approved by a majority of our independent directors. The Business Combination was approved by a majority of DTCS independent directors. We have structured the Business Combination so that the post transaction company in which our public shareholders own shares will own or acquire 100% of the equity interests or assets of the target business or businesses. We may, however, structure our initial business combination such that the post transaction company owns or acquires less than 100% of such interests or assets of the target business in order to meet certain objectives of the target management team or shareholders or for other reasons, but we will only complete such business combination if the post transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act. Even if the post transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target, our shareholders prior to the business combination may collectively own a minority interest in the post transaction company, depending on valuations ascribed to the target and us in the business combination. For example, we could pursue a transaction in which we issue a substantial number of new shares in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock, shares or other equity interests of a target. In this case, we would acquire a 100% controlling interest in the target. However, as a result of the issuance of a substantial number of new shares, our shareholders immediately prior to our initial business combination could own less than a majority of our issued and outstanding shares subsequent to our initial business combination. If less than 100% of the equity interests or assets of a target business or businesses are owned or acquired by the post transaction company, the portion of such business or businesses that is owned or acquired is what will be taken into account for purposes of the 80% of net assets test described above. If the business combination involves more than one target business, the aggregate value of all of the target businesses, will be taken into account for purposes of the 80% fair market value test.

 

198

 

 

We are not prohibited from pursuing an initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with our Sponsor, officers or directors, non-managing sponsor investors or completing the business combination through a joint venture or other form of shared ownership with our Sponsor, officers or directors, or non-managing sponsor investors. In the event we seek to complete our initial business combination with a company that is affiliated (as defined in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association) with our Sponsor, officers or directors, we, or a committee of independent directors, will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions, stating that the consideration to be paid by us in such an initial business combination is fair to our company from a financial point of view. We are not required to obtain such an opinion in any other context.

 

We have filed a registration statement on Form 8-A with the SEC to voluntarily register our securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. As a result, we are subject to the rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act. We have no current intention of filing a Form 15 to suspend our reporting or other obligations under the Exchange Act prior or subsequent to the consummation of our initial business combination.

 

Corporate Information

 

Our executive offices are located at Office 51, 10th Floor, Hudson Yards, New York, NY 10001, and our telephone number is (718) 865-2000.

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. As such, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the prices of our securities may be more volatile.

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.

 

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the closing of our IPO, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $[ ], or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $[ ] as of the prior June 30, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $[ ] in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. References herein to emerging growth company will have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.

 

199

 

 

Financial Position

 

As of January 27, 2026, we had approximately $17,951,466 held in the trust account. With the funds available, we offer a target business a variety of options such as creating a liquidity event for its owners, providing capital for the potential growth and expansion of its operations or strengthening its balance sheet by reducing its debt or leverage ratio. Because we are able to complete our initial business combination using our cash, debt or equity securities, or a combination of the foregoing, we have the flexibility to use the most efficient combination that will allow us to tailor the consideration to be paid to the target business to fit its needs and desires. However, we have not taken any steps to secure third party financing and there can be no assurance it will be available to us.

 

Limited Ability to Evaluate the Target’s Management Team

 

Although we intend to closely scrutinize the management of a prospective target business when evaluating the desirability of effecting our initial business combination with that business, our assessment of the target business’ management may not prove to be correct. In addition, the future management may not have the necessary skills, qualifications or abilities to manage a public company.

 

Furthermore, the future role of members of our management team, if any, in the target business cannot presently be stated with any certainty. The determination as to whether any of the members of our management team will remain with the combined company will be made at the time of our initial business combination. While it is possible that one or more of our directors will remain associated in some capacity with us following our initial business combination, it is unlikely that any of them will devote their full efforts to our affairs subsequent to our initial business combination. Moreover, we cannot assure you that members of our management team will have significant experience or knowledge relating to the operations of the particular target business.

 

We cannot assure you that any of our key personnel will remain in senior management or advisory positions with the combined company. The determination as to whether any of our key personnel will remain with the combined company will be made at the time of our initial business combination.

 

Following an initial business combination, we may seek to recruit additional managers to supplement the incumbent management of the target business. We cannot assure you that we will have the ability to recruit additional managers, or that additional managers will have the requisite skills, knowledge or experience necessary to enhance the incumbent management.

 

Shareholder Approval of the Business Combination

 

Under the DTCS Articles, because DTCS is seeking shareholder approval in connection with the Business Combination, it may only complete such the Business Combination if it receives an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a simple majority of the issued and outstanding DTCS Ordinary Shares, who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Further, pursuant to the DTCS Articles, in connection with such shareholder approval, DTCS must provide its Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares. For more information, please see the section entitled “The Extraordinary General Meeting.”

 

Permitted Purchases of our Securities

 

If we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our Sponsor, initial stockholders, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of our initial business combination. There is no limit on the number of shares our initial stockholders, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase in such transactions, subject to compliance with applicable law and Nasdaq rules. However, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. If they engage in such transactions, they will not make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material nonpublic information not disclosed to the seller or if such purchases are prohibited by Regulation M under the Exchange Act. We do not currently anticipate that such purchases, if any, would constitute a tender offer subject to the tender offer rules under the Exchange Act or a going-private transaction subject to the going-private rules under the Exchange Act; however, if the purchasers determine at the time of any such purchases that the purchases are subject to such rules, the purchasers will comply with such rules.

 

200

 

 

Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements. None of the funds held in the trust account will be used to purchase shares in such transactions prior to completion of our initial business combination.

 

The purpose of any such purchases of shares could be to vote such shares in favor of the initial business combination and thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the initial business combination or to satisfy a closing condition in an agreement with a target that requires us to have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash at the closing of our initial business combination, where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met. Any such purchases of our securities may result in the completion of our initial business combination that may not otherwise have been possible. In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of our shares of common stock or warrants may be reduced and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, which may make it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange.

 

Our Sponsor, officers, directors and/or their affiliates anticipate that they may identify the stockholders with whom our Sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates may pursue privately negotiated purchases by either the stockholders contacting us directly or by our receipt of redemption requests submitted by stockholders following our mailing of proxy materials in connection with our initial business combination. To the extent that our Sponsor, officers, directors, advisors or their affiliates enter into a private purchase, they would identify and contact only potential selling stockholders who have expressed their election to redeem their shares for a pro rata share of the trust account or vote against our initial business combination, whether or not such stockholder has already submitted a proxy with respect to our initial business combination. Our Sponsor, officers, directors, advisors or their affiliates will only purchase shares if such purchases comply with Regulation M under the Exchange Act and the other federal securities laws.

 

Any purchases by our Sponsor, officers, directors and/or their affiliates who are affiliated purchasers under Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act will only be made to the extent such purchases are able to be made in compliance with Rule 10b-18, which is a safe harbor from liability for manipulation under Section 9(a)(2) and Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. Rule 10b-18 has certain technical requirements that must be complied with in order for the safe harbor to be available to the purchaser. Our Sponsor, officers, directors and/or their affiliates will not make purchases of common stock if the purchases would violate Section 9(a)(2) or Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchases are subject to such reporting requirements.

 

Redemption Rights for Public Stockholders upon Completion of our Initial Business Combination

 

We will provide our public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem, regardless of whether they abstain, vote for, or vote against, our initial business combination, all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of our initial business combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account calculated as of two (2) Business Days prior to the consummation of our initial business combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account (less taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations and on the conditions described herein. The amount in the trust account is initially anticipated to be $[ ] per public share. The per share amount we will distribute to investors who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions we will pay to the underwriters. There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of our initial business combination with respect to our warrants. Our Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their and any Public Shares they may have acquired during or after the IPO in connection with the completion of our initial business combination.

 

Manner of Conducting Redemptions

 

We will provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their DTCS Ordinary Shares upon the completion of our initial business combination either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the business combination or (ii) without a shareholder vote by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether we will seek shareholder approval of a proposed business combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by us, solely in our 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 require us to seek shareholder approval under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirement or whether we were deemed to be a foreign private issuer (which would require a tender offer rather than seeking shareholder approval under SEC rules), as described above under the heading “Shareholders May Not Have the Ability to Approve Our Initial Business Combination.” Asset acquisitions and share purchases would not typically require shareholder approval while direct mergers with our Company (other than with a 90% subsidiary of ours) and any transactions where we issue more than 20% of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares or seek to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association would require shareholder approval. So long as we obtain and maintain a listing for our securities on Nasdaq, we will be required to comply with Nasdaq’s shareholder approval rules.

 

201

 

 

The requirement that we provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares by one of the two methods listed above are contained in provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and will apply whether or not we maintain our registration under the Exchange Act or our listing on Nasdaq. Such provisions may be amended if approved by a special resolution, which requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares, who, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at a general meeting of the company, so long as we offer redemption in connection with such amendment.

 

If we provide our public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in connection with a general meeting, we will, pursuant to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association:

 

●conduct the redemptions in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, which regulates the solicitation of proxies, and not pursuant to the tender offer rules, and
   
●file proxy materials with the SEC.

 

In the event that we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination, we will distribute proxy materials and, in connection therewith, provide our public shareholders with the redemption rights described above upon completion of the initial business combination.

 

If we seek shareholder approval, we will complete our initial business combination only if we obtain the approval of an ordinary resolution, which requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a simple majority of the ordinary shares, who, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at a general meeting of the company. A quorum for such meeting will be present if the holders of a majority of issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote at the meeting are represented in person or by proxy. Our Sponsor, officers and directors will count toward this quorum and, pursuant to the letter agreement, our Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to vote their, private placement shares and any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO (including in open market and privately-negotiated transactions, aside from shares they may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, which would not be voted in favor of approving the business combination transaction) in favor of our initial business combination. For purposes of seeking approval of an ordinary resolution, non-votes will have no effect on the approval of our initial business combination once a quorum is obtained. The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a simple majority of the DTCS Ordinary Shares, who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. DTCS would not need the Public Shares not held by affiliates, to be voted in favor of the Business Combination in order to approve the Business Combination Proposal (assuming all outstanding shares are voted). Assuming that only the holders of a majority of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares, representing a quorum under our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association vote their shares at a general meeting of the company, we will not need any Public Shares in addition to our to be voted in favor of an initial business combination in order to approve an initial business combination. However, if our initial business combination is structured as a statutory merger or consolidation with another company under Cayman Islands law, in addition to obtaining approval of our initial business combination by ordinary resolution, the approval of the statutory merger or consolidation will require a special resolution under Cayman Islands Law, which requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares, who, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at a general meeting of the company. In addition, prior to the closing of our initial business combination, only holders of our (i) will have the right to appoint and remove directors prior to or in connection with the completion of our initial business combination and (ii) will be entitled to vote on continuing our company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands (including any special resolution required to amend our constitutional documents or to adopt new constitutional documents, in each case, as a result of our approving a transfer by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands). These quorum and voting thresholds, and the voting agreement of our Sponsor, officers and directors, may make it more likely that we will consummate our initial business combination. Each public shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction, or whether they do not vote or abstain from voting on the proposed transaction, or whether they were a public shareholder on the record date for the general meeting held to approve the proposed transaction.

Limitation on Redemption upon Completion of our Initial Business Combination if we Seek Stockholder Approval

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares sold in our IPO, which we refer to as the “Excess Shares,” without our prior consent/Such restriction shall also be applicable to our affiliates. We believe this restriction will discourage stockholders from accumulating large blocks of shares, and subsequent attempts by such holders to use their ability to exercise their redemption rights against a proposed initial business combination as a means to force us or our 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 stockholder holding more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares sold in our IPO could threaten to exercise its redemption rights if such holder’s shares are not purchased by us or our management at a premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. By limiting our stockholders’ ability to redeem no more than 15% of the shares sold in our IPO without our prior consent, we believe we will limit the ability of a small group of stockholders to unreasonably attempt to block our ability to complete our initial business combination, particularly in connection with an initial business combination with a target that requires as a closing condition that we have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash. However, we would not be restricting our stockholders’ ability to vote all of their shares (including Excess Shares) for or against our initial business combination.

 

If a shareholder vote is not required and we do not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, we will:

 

●conduct the redemptions pursuant to Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act, which regulate issuer tender offers, and
   
●file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing our initial business combination which contain substantially the same financial and other information about the initial business combination and the redemption rights as is required under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, which regulates the solicitation of proxies.

 

In the event we conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, our offer to redeem will remain open for at least twenty (20) Business Days, in accordance with Rule 14e-1(a) under the Exchange Act, and we will not be permitted to complete our initial business combination until the expiration of the tender offer period. In addition, the tender offer will be conditioned on public shareholders not tendering more than the number of Public Shares we are permitted to redeem. If public shareholders tender more shares than we have offered to purchase, we will withdraw the tender offer and not complete the initial business combination.

 

Upon the public announcement of our initial business combination, if we elect to conduct redemption pursuant to the tender offer rules, we or our Sponsor will terminate any plan established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 to purchase our DTCS Ordinary Shares in the open market, in order to comply with Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act.

 

203

 

 

We intend to require our public shareholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their shares in “street name,” to, at the holder’s option, either deliver their share certificates to our transfer agent or deliver their shares to our transfer agent electronically using the Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) system, prior to the date set forth in the proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable. In the case of proxy materials, this date may be up to two (2) Business Days prior to the scheduled vote on the proposal to approve the initial business combination. In addition, if we conduct redemptions in connection with a shareholder vote, we intend to require a public shareholder seeking redemption of its Public Shares to also submit a written request for redemption to our transfer agent two (2) Business Days prior to the scheduled vote in which the name of the beneficial owner of such shares is included. The proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable, that we will furnish to holders of our Public Shares in connection with our initial business combination will indicate whether we are requiring public shareholders to satisfy such delivery requirements. We believe that this will allow our transfer agent to efficiently process any redemptions without the need for further communication or action from the redeeming public shareholders, which could delay redemptions and result in additional administrative cost. If the proposed initial business combination is not approved and we continue to search for a target company, we will promptly return any certificates or shares delivered by public shareholders who elected to redeem their shares.

 

Delivering Share Certificates in Connection with the Exercise of Redemption Rights

 

As described above, we intend to require our public shareholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their shares in “street name,” to, at the holder’s option, either deliver their share certificates to our transfer agent or deliver their shares to our transfer agent electronically using the Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) system, prior to the date set forth in the proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable. In the case of proxy materials, this date may be up to two (2) Business Days prior to the scheduled vote on the proposal to approve the initial business combination. In addition, if we conduct redemptions in connection with a shareholder vote, we intend to require a public shareholder seeking redemption of its Public Shares to also submit a written request for redemption to our transfer agent two (2) Business Days prior to the scheduled vote in which the name of the beneficial owner of such shares is included. The proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable, that we will furnish to holders of our Public Shares in connection with our initial business combination will indicate whether we are requiring public shareholders to satisfy such delivery requirements. Accordingly, a public shareholder would have up to two (2) Business Days prior to the scheduled vote on the initial business combination if we distribute proxy materials, or from the time we send out our tender offer materials until the close of the tender offer period, as applicable, to submit or tender its shares if it wishes to seek to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that a shareholder fails to comply with these or any other procedures disclosed in the proxy or tender offer materials, as applicable, its shares may not be redeemed. Given the relatively short exercise period, it is advisable for shareholders to use electronic delivery of their Public Shares.

 

There is a nominal cost associated with the above-referenced process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The transfer agent will typically charge the broker submitting or tendering shares a fee of approximately $100 and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming holder.

 

204

 

 

However, this fee would be incurred regardless of whether or not we require holders seeking to exercise redemption rights to submit or tender their shares. The need to deliver shares is a requirement of exercising redemption rights regardless of the timing of when such delivery must be effectuated.

 

Any request to redeem such shares, once made, may be requested to be withdrawn at any time up to the date set forth in the proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable. However, no withdrawal will be permitted unless the DTCS Board determines (in its sole discretion) to permit the withdrawal of such redemption request (which it may do in whole or in part). Furthermore, if a holder of a public share delivered its certificate in connection with an election of redemption rights and subsequently decides prior to the applicable date not to elect to exercise such rights, such holder may simply request that the transfer agent return the certificate (physically or electronically). It is anticipated that the funds to be distributed to holders of our Public Shares electing to redeem their shares will be distributed promptly after the completion of our initial business combination.

 

If our initial business combination is not approved or completed for any reason, then our public shareholders who elected to exercise their redemption rights would not be entitled to redeem their shares for the applicable pro rata share of the trust account. In such case, we will promptly return any certificates delivered by public holders who elected to redeem their shares.

 

If our initial proposed business combination is not completed, we may continue to try to complete a business combination with a different target until the end of the Completion Window.

 

Redemption of Public Shares and Liquidation if no Initial Business Combination

 

Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that we will have only the duration of the Completion Window to complete our initial business combination. If we have not completed our initial business combination within such time period, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten (10) Business Days thereafter (and subject to lawfully available funds therefor), redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account (which interest shall be net of taxes and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the Completion Window. Notwithstanding the foregoing, DTCS may extend its deadline to consummate a business combination beyond October 26, 2026 at a duly called meeting of the DTCS shareholders, in accordance with the Existing Articles.

 

Our Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any held by them if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the Completion Window, although they will entitled to liquidating distributions from assets outside the trust account. However, if our Sponsor or management team acquire Public Shares in or after the IPO, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to such Public Shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the allotted Completion Window.

 

Our Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed, pursuant to a written agreement with us, that they will not propose any amendment to the Cayman Constitutional Documents (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within the Completion Window or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, in each case unless we provide our public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon approval of any such amendment 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 (less taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares. The non-managing sponsor investors are not required to (i) hold any units or DTCS Ordinary Shares they may purchase in the IPO or thereafter for any amount of time, (ii) vote any DTCS Ordinary Shares they may own at the applicable time in favor of our initial business combination or (iii) refrain from exercising their right to redeem their Public Shares at the time of our initial business combination. The non-managing sponsor investors have the same rights to the funds held in the trust account with respect to the DTCS Ordinary Shares underlying the units they may have purchased in the IPO as the rights afforded to our other public shareholders. However, if the non-managing Sponsor investors purchase all of the units for which they have expressed to us an interest in purchasing or otherwise hold a substantial number of our units, then the non-managing sponsor investors will potentially have different interests than our other public shareholders in approving our initial business combination and otherwise exercising their rights as public shareholders because of their indirect ownership of DTCS Ordinary Shares.

 

205

 

 

We expect that all costs and expenses associated with implementing our plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, will be funded from amounts remaining out of the approximately $1,000,000 of proceeds held outside the trust account, although we cannot assure you that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose. However, if those funds are not sufficient to cover the costs and expenses associated with implementing our plan of dissolution, to the extent that there is any interest accrued in the trust account not required to pay income taxes on interest income earned on the trust account balance, we may request the trustee to release to us an additional amount of up to $100,000 of such accrued interest to pay those costs and expenses.

 

If we were to expend all of the net proceeds of the 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 redemption amount received by shareholders upon our dissolution would be approximately $[ ]. The proceeds deposited in the trust account could, however, become subject to the claims of our creditors which would have higher priority than the claims of our public shareholders. We cannot assure you that the actual per-share redemption amount received by shareholders will not be substantially less than $[ ]. While we intend to pay such amounts, if any, we cannot assure you that we will have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors’ claims.

 

Although we will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses and other entities with which we do business 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 our 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 respect to a claim against our 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, our management will consider whether competitive alternatives are reasonably available to us 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 the company under the circumstances. Examples of possible instances where we 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. EliteCPA P.C., our independent registered public accounting firm, and the underwriters of the IPO will not execute agreements with us waiving such claims to the monies held in the trust account. 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. In order to protect the amounts held in the trust account, our Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to us (except for the Company’s independent auditors), or a prospective target business with which we have 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) $[ ] per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, if less than $[ ] per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the trust account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity obligations to the IPO’s underwriters of the IPO for certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, we have not asked our Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor have we independently verified whether our Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and we believe that our Sponsor’s only assets are securities of our company. Therefore, we cannot assure you that our Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the trust account, the funds available for our initial business combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $[ ] per public share. In such event, we may not be able to complete our initial business combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of your Public Shares. None of our officers or directors will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

 

206

 

 

In the event that the proceeds in the trust account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $[ ] per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account if less than $[ ] per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case less taxes payable, and our Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its indemnification obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While we currently expect that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance if, for example, the cost of such legal action is deemed by the independent directors to be too high relative to the amount recoverable or if the independent directors determine that a favorable outcome is not likely. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that due to claims of creditors the actual value of the per-share redemption price will not be less than $[    ] per share.

 

We will seek to reduce the possibility that our Sponsor will have to indemnify the trust account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the trust account. Our Sponsor will also not be liable as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. We will have access to up to approximately $[   ] (or $[ ]   if the overallotment option is exercised in full) from the proceeds of the IPO with which to pay any such potential claims (including costs and expenses incurred in connection with our liquidation, currently estimated to be no more than approximately $[   ]). In the event that we liquidate 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.

 

If we file a bankruptcy or winding-up petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or winding-up petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law, and may be included in our bankruptcy or insolvency estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our shareholders. To the extent any bankruptcy or insolvency claims deplete the trust account, we cannot assure you we will be able to return $[   ] per share to our public shareholders. Additionally, if we file a bankruptcy or winding-up petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or winding-up petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy or insolvency laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance, preference or disposition.” As a result, a liquidator or bankruptcy or insolvency court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by our shareholders. Furthermore, our board of directors may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to us or our creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and our company to claims of punitive damages, by paying public shareholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons.

 

Our public shareholders will be entitled to receive funds from the trust account only (i) in the event of the redemption of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within the Completion Window, (ii) in connection with a shareholder vote to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within the Completion Window or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity or (iii) if they redeem their respective shares for cash upon the completion of our initial business combination, subject to applicable law and any limitations (including but not limited to cash requirements) created by the terms of the proposed business combination. In no other circumstances will a shareholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the trust account. In the event we seek shareholder approval in connection with our initial business combination, a shareholder’s voting in connection with the business combination alone will not result in a shareholder’s redeeming its shares to us for an applicable pro rata share of the trust account. Such shareholder must have also exercised its redemption rights described above. These provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, like all provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, may be amended with a shareholder vote.

 

207

 

 

Competition

 

In identifying, evaluating and selecting a target business for our initial business combination, we encounter competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours, including other SPACs, private equity groups and leveraged buyout funds, public companies and operating businesses seeking strategic acquisitions. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates. Moreover, many of these competitors possess greater financial, technical, human and other resources than us. Our ability to acquire larger target businesses is limited by our available financial resources. This inherent limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of a target business. Furthermore, our obligation to pay cash in connection with our Public Shareholders who exercise or are forced to exercise their redemption rights may reduce the resources available to us for our initial business combination, and the future dilution they potentially represent, may not be viewed favorably by certain target businesses. Either of these factors may place us at a competitive disadvantage.

 

Employees

 

We currently have three (3) executive officers. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters, but they devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to our affairs until we have completed our initial business combination. The amount of time they devote in any time period varies based on the stage of the business combination process we are in. We do not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the completion of our initial business combination.

 

Periodic Reporting and Financial Information

 

We have registered our Units, Public Shares and Rights under the Exchange Act and have reporting obligations, including the requirement that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with the SEC. In accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, our annual reports, contain financial statement audited and reported on by EliteCPA P.C., our independent registered public accountant.

 

We will provide shareholders with audited financial statement of the prospective target business as part of the proxy solicitation materials or tender offer documents sent to shareholders to assist them in assessing the target business. In all likelihood, these financial statement will need to be prepared in accordance with, or reconciled to, GAAP, or IFRS, depending on the circumstances, and the historical financial statement may be required to be audited in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. These financial statement requirements may limit the pool of potential target businesses we may conduct an initial business combination with because some targets may be unable to provide such statement in time for us to disclose such statement in accordance with federal proxy rules and complete our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame. We cannot assure our shareholders that any particular target business identified by us as a potential business combination candidate will have financial statement prepared in accordance with the requirements outlined above, or that the potential target business will be able to prepare its financial statement in accordance with the requirements outlined above. To the extent that these requirements cannot be met, we may not be able to acquire the proposed target business. While this may limit the pool of potential business combination candidates, we do not believe that this limitation will be material.

 

We have evaluated our internal control procedures for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Only in the event we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer or an accelerated filer, and no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, will we be required to have our internal control procedures audited. A target business may not be in compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding adequacy of their internal controls. The development of the internal controls of any such entity to achieve compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may increase the time and costs necessary to complete any such business combination.

 

208

 

 

We are a Cayman Islands exempted company. Exempted companies are Cayman Islands companies conducting business mainly outside the Cayman Islands and, as such, are exempted from complying with certain provisions of the Companies Act. As an exempted company, we have applied for and received a tax exemption undertaking from the Cayman Islands government that, in accordance with Section 6 of the Tax Concessions Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands, for a period of 20 years from the date of the undertaking, no law that is enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations will apply to us or our operations and, in addition, that no tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations or which is in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax will be payable (i) on or in respect of our shares, debentures or other obligations or (ii) by way of the withholding in whole or in part of a payment of dividend or other distribution of income or capital by us to our shareholders or a payment of principal or interest or other sums due under a debenture or other obligation of us.

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. As such, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the prices of our securities may be more volatile.

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.

 

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following November 24, 2028, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our DTCS Ordinary Shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.

 

Additionally, we are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statement. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (i) the market value of our DTCS Ordinary Shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $250 million as of the prior June 30th, and (ii) our annual revenues exceed $100 million during such completed fiscal year or the market value of our DTCS Ordinary Shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30.

We are not prohibited from paying any fees (including advisory fees), reimbursements or cash payments to our Sponsor, officers or directors, or our or their affiliates, for services rendered to us prior to or in connection with the completion of our initial business combination, including the following payments, all of which, if made prior to the completion of our initial business combination, will be paid from funds held outside the trust account:

 

●Repayment of up to an aggregate of $[  ] in loans made to us by our Sponsor to cover offering-related and organizational expenses;

 

211

 

 

●reimbursement for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support made available to us by our Sponsor or an affiliate thereof, in an amount equal to $10,000 per month;
   
●Payment of consulting, success or finder fees to our independent directors, advisors, or their respective affiliates in connection with the consummation of our initial business combination;
   
●We may engage our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor as an advisor or otherwise in connection with our initial business combination and certain other transactions and pay such person or entity a salary or fee in an amount that constitutes a market standard for comparable transactions;
   
●Reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating, negotiating and completing an initial business combination; and

 

After the completion of our initial business combination, directors or members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting or management fees from the combined company. All of these fees will be fully disclosed to shareholders, to the extent then known, in the proxy solicitation materials or tender offer materials furnished to our shareholders in connection with a proposed initial business combination. We have not established any limit on the amount of such fees that may be paid by the combined company to our directors or members of management. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of the proposed initial business combination, 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 executive officers will be determined, or recommended to the board of directors for determination, either by a compensation committee constituted solely by independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors on our board of directors.

 

We do not intend to take any action to ensure that members of our management team maintain their positions with us after the consummation of our initial business combination, although it is possible that some or all of our officers and directors may negotiate employment or consulting arrangements to remain with us after our initial business combination. The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements to retain their positions with us may influence our management’s motivation in identifying or selecting a target business but we do not believe that the ability of our management to remain with us after the consummation of our initial business combination will be a determining factor in our decision to proceed with any potential business combination. We are not party to any agreements with our officers and directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment.

 

Number and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors

 

All of board of directors hold office until the expiration of their respective terms of office and until their successors shall have been elected and qualified. In accordance with the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, we are not required to hold an annual general meeting until one year after our first fiscal year end following our listing on the Nasdaq.

 

Prior to the completion of an initial business combination, any vacancy on the board of directors may be filled by an appointee appointed by our directors.

 

Our officers are appointed by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors, rather than for specific terms of office.

 

Our board of directors is authorized to appoint persons to the offices set forth in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association as it deems appropriate. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that our officers may consist of one or more chairman of the board of directors, chief executive officer, president, chief financial officer, vice presidents, secretary, treasurer and such other offices as may be determined by the board of directors.

 

212

 

 

Director Independence

 

Nasdaq requires that a majority of our board must be composed of “independent directors.” Currently, Mr. Shaoke Li, Mr. Chi Zhang and Ms. Longjiao Li would each be considered an “independent director” under the Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Rules, which is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship, which, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our Independent Directors will have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

 

We will only enter into a business combination if it is approved by a majority of our independent directors. Additionally, we will only enter into transactions with our officers and directors and their respective affiliates that are on terms no less favorable to us than could be obtained from independent parties. Any related-party transactions must also be approved by our audit committee and a majority of disinterested independent directors.

 

Committees of the Board of Directors

 

Our board of directors has three standing committees: an audit committee, a corporate governance and nominating committee and a compensation committee. Subject to phase-in rules and a limited exception, the rules of the Nasdaq and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors.

 

Subject to phase-in rules and a limited exception, the rules of the Nasdaq require that the compensation committee and the nominating committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors.

 

Audit Committee

 

We have established an audit committee of the board of directors. Mr. Shaoke Li, Mr. Chi Zhang and Ms. Longjiao Li serve as members of our audit committee. Our board of directors has determined that each of Mr. Shaoke Li, Mr. Chi Zhang and Ms. Longjiao Li are independent under the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules. Mr. Shaoke Li serves as the Chairperson of the audit committee. Under the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules, all the directors on the audit committee must be independent. Each member of the audit committee is financially literate and our board of directors has determined that Mr. Shaoke Li qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules.

 

The audit committee’s duties, which are specified in our Audit Committee Charter, include, but are not limited to:

 

  ● reviewing and discussing with management and the independent auditor the annual audited financial statements, and recommending to the board whether the audited financial statements should be included in our Form 10-K;
     
  ● discussing with management and the independent auditor significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in connection with the preparation of our financial statements;
     
  ● discussing with management major risk assessment and risk management policies;
     
  ● monitoring the independence of the independent auditor;
     
  ● verifying the rotation of the lead (or coordinating) audit partner having primary responsibility for the audit and the audit partner responsible for reviewing the audit as required by law;
     
  ● inquiring and discussing with management our compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

 

213

 

 

  ● pre-approving all audit services and permitted non-audit services to be performed by our independent auditor, including the fees and terms of the services to be performed;
     
  ● appointing or replacing the independent auditor;
     
  ● determining the compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor (including resolution of disagreements between management and the independent auditor regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work; and
     
  ● establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or reports which raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies.

 

Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee

 

We have established a corporate governance and nominating committee of our board of directors. The members of our nominating committee are Mr. Shaoke Li, Mr. Chi Zhang and Ms. Longjiao Li. Mr. Chi Zhang serves as chairperson of the nominating committee. Under the Nasdaq listing standards, we are required to have a corporate governance and nominating committee composed entirely of independent directors. Our board of directors has determined that each of Mr. Shaoke Li, Mr. Chi Zhang and Ms. Longjiao Li are independent.

 

The corporate governance and nominating committee is responsible for overseeing the selection of persons to be nominated to serve on our board of directors. The corporate governance and nominating committee considers persons identified by its members, management, shareholders, investment bankers and others.

 

Guidelines for Selecting Director Nominees

 

The guidelines for selecting nominees, which are specified in the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee Charter, generally provide that persons to be nominated:

 

  ● should have demonstrated notable or significant achievements in business, education or public service;
     
  ● should possess the requisite intelligence, education and experience to make a significant contribution to the board of directors and bring a range of skills, diverse perspectives and backgrounds to its deliberations; and
     
  ● should have the highest ethical standards, a strong sense of professionalism and intense dedication to serving the interests of the shareholders.

 

The corporate governance and nominating committee will consider a number of qualifications relating to management and leadership experience, background and integrity and professionalism in evaluating a person’s candidacy for membership on the board of directors. The corporate governance and nominating committee may require certain skills or attributes, such as financial or accounting experience, to meet specific board needs that arise from time to time and will also consider the overall experience and makeup of its members to obtain a broad and diverse mix of board members. The board of directors will also consider director candidates recommended for nomination by our shareholders during such times as they are seeking proposed nominees to stand for election at the next annual meeting of shareholders (or, if applicable, a special meeting of shareholders). Our shareholders that wish to nominate a director for election to the board of directors should follow the procedures set forth in our memorandum and articles of association. The corporate governance and nominating committee does not distinguish among nominees recommended by shareholders and other persons.

 

214

 

 

Compensation Committee

 

We have established a compensation committee of our board of directors. The members of our compensation committee are Mr. Shaoke Li, Mr. Chi Zhang and Ms. Longjiao Li. Ms. Longjiao Li serves as chairperson of the compensation committee.

 

Under the Nasdaq listing standards, we are required to have a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors. Our board of directors has determined that each of Mr. Shaoke Li, Mr. Chi Zhang and Ms. Longjiao Li. are independent. The compensation committee’s duties, which are specified in our Compensation Committee Charter, include, but are not limited to:

 

  ● 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 approving the compensation of all of our other executive officers;
     
  ● reviewing our executive compensation policies and plans;
     
  ● implementing and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans;
     
  ● reviewing and approving the compensation disclosure and analysis prepared by Company management to be included in our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements;
     
  ● approving all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our executive officers and employees; and
     
  ● reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, as indicated above, no compensation of any kind, including finders, consulting or other similar fees, will be paid to any of our existing shareholders, including our directors or any of their respective affiliates, prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the consummation of a business combination. Accordingly, it is likely that prior to the consummation of an initial business combination, the compensation committee will only be responsible for the review and recommendation of any compensation arrangements to be entered into in connection with such initial business combination.

 

Conflicts of Interest

 

Directors and officers of DTCS may have interests in the Business Combination that are different from your interests as a shareholder. In November 2022, March 2023 and January 2024, an aggregate of 1,725,000 insider shares were issued to our Sponsor for an aggregate contribution of $25,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, DTCS consummated the private placement (the “Private Placement”) with the Sponsor of 206,900 DTCS Units (the “Private Unit(s)”), generating total proceeds of $2,069,000. The following table sets forth information regarding directors and officers of DTCS and the Sponsor’s beneficial interests in securities of DTCS as at [ ], 2026:

 

Shareholder(1)  Number of DTCS
Ordinary Shares
   Number of
DTCS Units
 
The Sponsor(2)   1,725,000    206,900 
Sam Zheng Sun   0    0 
Kenneth Lam   0    0 
Jiayi Liang   0    0 
Shaoke Li   0    0 
Lonjiao Li   0    0 
Chi Zhang        0 
All directors and executive officers (six (6) individuals) as a group   0    0 

 

Notes:

 

(1) Unless otherwise indicated, the business address of each of the individuals or entities is c/o DT Cloud Star Acquisition Corporation, Office 51, 10th Floor, 31 Hudson Yards, New York, NY 10001, USA.
(2) The Sponsor is the record holder of the insider shares reported herein. It is controlled 80% by Mr. Jin Xin, and 20% by Mr. Guojian Chen (a non-U.S. person) through his 100% ownership of Infinity-Star Holdings Limited, which is the record owner of 20% of the Sponsor’s outstanding shares. Mr. Chen is the sole director of the Sponsor. By virtue of these relationships, each of Mr. Xin and Mr. Chen may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of the securities held of record by our Sponsor.

 

Each of the following individuals (directors, officers or other affiliates of DTCS) has an economic interest in the insider shares currently held by the Sponsor. The economic interest (or deemed economic interest) of these individuals in these 1,725,000 shares retained by the Sponsor is shown below:

 

Name of Person  Number of
DTCS
Shares
   Number of
DTCS Units
 
Xin Jin   1,380,000    165,520 
Guojian Chen   345,000    41,380 

 

On December 31, 2023, the DTCS issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. This first Promissory Note is non-interest-bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2024 and (ii) the date on which the Company consummates an IPO or the date on which the Company determines not to conduct the IPO. The first promissory note terminated and was paid back after consummation of IPO on July 29, 2024.

 

On October 28, 2024, DTCS issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. This promissory note is non-interest-bearing and payable on the date which the Company consummates an initial business combination. The current balance of this promissory note is $0.

 

On October 23, 2025, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company borrowed up to an aggregate principal amount of $75,000, in exchange for Sponsor depositing such amount into the Company’s trust account in order to extend the amount of time it has available to complete a Business Combination. The Note does not bear interest and matures upon the closing of a business combination by the Company. In addition, the Note may be converted by the holder into units of the Company identical to the units issued in the Company’s Initial Public Offering at a price of $10.00 per unit.

 

On each of November 28, 2025 and January 6, 2026, DTCS deposited $75,000 into the Trust Account for monthly extensions. On March 16, 2026, DTCS deposited an additional $150,000 into the Trust Account representing monthly extension payments from January through March 2026. A payment in the amount of $225,000 was deposited into the Trust Account on July 10, 2026; and a payment in the amount of $75,000 was deposited into the Trust Account on July 14, 2026. These amounts are to be repaid at or after the Closing by Pubco out of available cash. No promissory notes were issued in connection with any of such payments, and these amounts due are not convertible into Private Units or any other securities of DTCS or of Pubco.

 

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, we had a temporary payable of [$1,301,143.59] to the Sponsor, of which $75,000 may, at the option of the Sponsor, be converted into Private Units at $10 per unit at Closing, and the remaining $1,226,143.59 will be repaid in cash to the Sponsor by Pubco at or after the Closing. This balance is unsecured, interest-free and, except with respect to the October 23, 2025 promissory note, has no fixed repayment terms. All such amounts would be repayable to the Sponsor if the Business Combination is not consummated.

 

DTCS did not obtain a fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination because it relied on the financial skills and background of its officers and directors. The board of DTCS believed that the officers and directors of DTCS have substantial experience in evaluating the operating and financial merits of companies from a wide range of industries and concluded that their experience and background enabled them to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the Business Combination.

 

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, DTCS has not entered into any agreement, arrangement, or understanding, including any payments, between the Sponsor and unaffiliated security holders of DTCS regarding the redemption of outstanding securities of DTCS, except for that certain non-redemption agreement dated as of [*].

 

Conflicts of interest in connection with the Business Combination: There may be actual or potential material conflicts of interest between or among (i) the Sponsor, DTCS’s officers and directors, PGUS’s officers and directors and (ii) unaffiliated security holders of DTCS. Such conflicts of interest may include a material conflict of interest arising in determining whether to proceed with the Business Combination, the compensation of DTCS’s directors and officers and the compensation of the Sponsor. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal - Interests of Certain DTCS Persons in the Business Combination”. PGUS’s directors and executive officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of the DTCS shareholders generally. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal - Interests of the PGUS Directors and Executive Officers”.

When considering the DTCS Board’s recommendation that DTCS’s shareholders vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal, shareholders should be aware that directors and officers of DTCS may have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of unaffiliated shareholders of DTCS. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

 

  ● the fact that immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination, the Initial Shareholders, other than A.G.P., are expected to hold 2,000,900 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock on an as-converted basis, consisting of (i) 1,725,000 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock held by the Sponsor, to be converted from DTCS Ordinary Shares held by the Sponsor and (ii) 206,900 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock to be converted from DTCS Ordinary Shares underlying the DTCS Private Units held by the Sponsor (for a total of 1,931,900 shares held by the Sponsor); and (iii) 69,000 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock, to be converted from DTCS Ordinary Shares, held by A.G.P.; which in the aggregate, would be an approximately [●]% and [●]% ownership interest in the Pubco following the consummation of the Business Combination under the no redemption scenario, on an as converted basis.
     
  ● the fact that immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination, the Initial Shareholders will hold up to 1,931,900 Non-Redemption Warrants, each with a right to purchase one share of Pubco Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share;
     
  ● the fact that the Sponsor acquired 206,900 DTCS Private Units at $10.00 per private unit through private placement simultaneously with the closing of DTCS IPO on January 24, 2025.
     
  ● the fact that the Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.014 per share, for 1,725,000 Founder Shares prior to DTCS IPO, which will be canceled and converted automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into the same number of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock at the Effective Time pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. All of the Founder Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions and could have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination, which if unrestricted and freely tradable would be valued at approximately $[●] million, based on the most recent closing price of DTCS Ordinary Shares of $[●] per share on [●], 2025.
     
  ● the fact that if the Business Combination or another business combination is not consummated by October 26, 2026, DTCS will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of outstanding Public Shares for cash and, subject to the approval of DTCS’s remaining shareholders and DTCS’s Board, liquidating and dissolving. In such event, the Founder Shares and Private Shares held by the Sponsor, as well as the Private Units and the Private Rights, would be worthless because DTCS’s Initial Shareholders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares; provided, however, that DTCS may extend its deadline to consummate a business combination beyond October 26, 2026 at a duly called meeting of the DTCS shareholders, in accordance with the Existing Articles.
     
  ● the fact that if the Business Combination is consummated, each issued and outstanding DTCS Ordinary Share will be converted into one share of Pubco Class A Common Stock. Given the differential in the purchase price that the Sponsor paid for the Founder Shares, as compared to the price of Public Shares paid by Public Shareholders in the DTCS IPO and the substantial number of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock that the Sponsor will receive upon conversion of the Founder Shares, the Sponsor is likely to be able to recoup their investment in DTCS and make a substantial profit on that investment, even if the Pubco Class A Common Stock has lost significant value. This means that the Sponsor could earn a positive rate of return on their investment, even if DTCS Public Shareholders experience a negative rate of return in the Pubco following the consummation of the Business Combination.
     
  ● the fact that the Sponsor and officers and directors of DTCS have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any insider shares and private shares held by them if DTCS fails to complete an initial business combination by October 26, 2026.
     
  ● the fact that if DTCS liquidates the Trust Account prior to the consummation of a business combination, it will be liable to pay debts and obligations to target businesses or vendors or other entities that are owed money by DTCS for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to us in excess of the net proceeds of DTCS IPO not held in the Trust Account, but only to the extent necessary to ensure that such debts or obligations do not reduce the amounts in the trust account and only if such parties have not executed a waiver agreement.
     
  ● the fact that pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, (a) PGUS will pay to the Sponsor upon the filing of the first confidential Form S-4 the sum of $500,000; (b) at the Closing, Pubco will reimburse the Sponsor for its transaction expenses up to an additional maximum of $1,500,000; and (c) at the Closing, Pubco and or its designee would purchase 250,000 DTCS Ordinary Shares from the Sponsor for the sum of $2,500,000 in cash.
     
  ● the fact that DTCS’s Sponsor, officers, directors, or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan DTCS funds as may be required to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an initial business combination, up to an agreed maximum amount as further provided herein.
     
  ● the fact that the Sponsor is entitled to $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services for up to 12 months following the DTCS IPO.
     
  ● the fact that the Business Combination Agreement provides for the continued indemnification of DTCS’s former and current directors and officers and the continuation of directors and officers liability insurance covering DTCS’s former and current directors and officers.
     
  ● the fact that DTCS’s officers and directors and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on DTCS’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. However, if DTCS fails to consummate a business combination within the required time period under the DTCS Articles, these persons will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. Accordingly, DTCS may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the Business Combination with Pubco or another business combination is not completed by October 26, 2026.
     
  ● the fact that the Sponsor and Pubco and certain other parties named in the Business Combination Agreement, will enter into a Registration Rights Agreement at Closing which provides for the registration of all of the shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock that are issuable to the Sponsor, including upon exercise of the Non-Redemption Warrants issued to the Sponsor.
     
  ● the fact that in addition to these interests of the Sponsor and DTCS’s officers, directors and advisors, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws and DTCS’s memorandum and articles of association, waive certain applications of the doctrine of corporate opportunity in some circumstances where the application of any such doctrine would conflict with any fiduciary duties or contractual obligations they may have, and DTCS will renounce any expectation that any of its directors or officers will offer any such corporate opportunity of which he or she may become aware to us. DTCS does not believe that the pre-existing fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of its officers and directors materially impacted its search for an acquisition target. Further, DTCS does not believe that the waiver of the application of the corporate opportunity doctrine had a material impact on its ability to complete its initial business combination.

 

If DTCS does not consummate an initial business combination by October 26, 2026, it will be required to dissolve and liquidate and the securities held by the Initial Shareholders will be worthless because the Initial Shareholders have agreed to waive their rights to any liquidation distributions. The 1,931,900 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock that will be received by the Sponsor, if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had an aggregate market value of approximately $[●] million based upon the closing price of $[●] per share on Nasdaq on [●], 2026, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. As a result of the interests of the Sponsor and the directors and officers of DTCS in securities of DTCS, the Sponsor and the directors and officers of DTCS have an incentive to complete an initial business combination and may have a conflict of interest in the transaction, including without limitation, in determining whether a particular business is an appropriate business with which to effect the initial business combination of DTCS.

 

As a result of the interests of the Initial Shareholders in securities of DTCS, the Initial Shareholders will benefit from the completion of the Business Combination and therefore may be incentivized to complete the Business Combination even if it is with a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to shareholders of DTCS, rather than liquidate. They may have a conflict of interest in the transaction, including without limitation, in determining whether a particular business is an appropriate business with which to effect the initial business combination of DTCS.

 

Under Cayman Islands law, directors and officers owe the following fiduciary duties:

 

(i)duty to act in good faith in what the director or officer believes to be in the best interests of the company as a whole;
   
(ii)duty to exercise powers for the purposes for which those powers were conferred and not for a collateral purpose;
   
(iii)directors should not improperly fetter the exercise of future discretion;
   
(v)duty not to put themselves in a position in which there is a conflict between their duty to the company and their personal interests; and
   
(vi)duty to exercise independent judgment.

 

In addition to the above, directors also owe a duty of care which is not fiduciary in nature. This duty has been defined as a requirement to act as a reasonably diligent person having both the general knowledge, skill and experience that may reasonably be expected of a person carrying out the same functions as are carried out by that director in relation to the company and the general knowledge skill and experience of that director.

 

216

 

 

As set out above, directors have a duty not to put themselves in a position of conflict and this includes a duty not to engage in self-dealing, or to otherwise benefit as a result of their position. However, in some instances what would otherwise be a breach of this duty can be forgiven and/or authorized in advance by the shareholders provided that there is sufficient disclosure by the directors. This can be done by way of permission granted in the memorandum and articles of association or alternatively by shareholder approval at general meetings.

 

Each of our officers and directors presently has, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary, contractual or other obligations or duties to one or more other entities pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present a business combination opportunity to such entities. Accordingly, if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she will honor his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such business combination opportunity to such other entity, subject to their fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (i) no individual serving as a director or an officer shall have any duty, except and to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as us, and (ii) we renounce any interest or expectancy in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which (a) may be a corporate opportunity for any director or officer, on the one hand, and us, on the other or (b) the presentation of which would breach an existing legal obligation of a director or officer to any other entity. We do not believe, however, that the fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of our officers or directors will materially affect our ability to complete our initial business combination.

 

In addition, our Sponsor and our officers and directors may sponsor or form other special purpose acquisition companies similar to ours or may pursue other business or investment ventures during the period in which we are seeking an initial business combination. As a result, our Sponsor, officers and directors could have conflicts of interest in determining whether to present business combination opportunities to us or to any other special purpose acquisition company with which they may become involved. Any such companies, businesses or investments may present additional conflicts of interest in pursuing an initial business combination target. However, we do not believe that any such potential conflicts would materially affect our ability to complete our initial business combination.

 

Potential investors should also be aware of the following other potential conflicts of interest:

 

●Our officers and directors are not required to, and will not, commit their full time to our affairs, which may result in a conflict of interest in allocating their time between our operations and our search for a business combination and their other businesses. We do not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the completion of our initial business combination. Each of our officers is engaged in several other business endeavors for which he may be entitled to substantial compensation, and our officers are not obligated to contribute any specific number of hours per week to our affairs;
   
●Our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a particular business combination if the retention or resignation of any such officers and directors was included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our initial business combination.

 

DTCS is not prohibited from pursuing an initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with our Sponsor, officers or directors, non-managing sponsor investors, or completing the business combination through a joint venture or other form of shared ownership with our Sponsor, officers or directors, or non-managing sponsor investors. In the event we seek to complete our initial business combination with a company that is affiliated (as defined in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association) with our Sponsor, officers or directors, we, or a committee of independent directors, will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions, stating that the consideration to be paid by us in such an initial business combination is fair to our company from a financial point of view. We are not required to obtain such an opinion in any other context.

 

217

 

 

Prior to or in connection with the completion of our initial business combination, there may be payment by the company to our Sponsor, officers or directors, or our or their affiliates, of a finder’s fee, advisory fee, consulting fee or success fee for any services they render in order to effectuate the completion of our initial business, which, if made prior to the completion of our initial business combination, will be paid from funds held outside the trust account.

 

DTCS cannot assure you that any of the above-mentioned conflicts will be resolved in our favor.

 

In the event that we submit our initial business combination to our public shareholders for a vote, our Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to vote their, and they and the other members of our management team have agreed to vote their and any shares purchased during or after the offering in favor of our initial business combination, aside from shares they may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, which would not be voted in favor of approving the business combination transaction. The non-managing sponsor investors are not required to (i) hold any units, DTCS Ordinary Shares they may purchase in the Initial Public Offering or thereafter for any amount of time, (ii) vote any DTCS Ordinary Shares they may own at the applicable time in favor of our initial business combination or (iii) refrain from exercising their right to redeem their Public Shares at the time of our initial business combination. The non-managing sponsor investors will have the same rights to the funds held in the trust account with respect to the DTCS Ordinary Shares underlying the units they may purchase in the Initial Public Offering as the rights afforded to our other public shareholders. However, if the non-managing sponsor investors purchase all of the units for which they have expressed to us an interest in purchasing or otherwise hold a substantial number of our units, then the non-managing sponsor investors will potentially have different interests than our other public shareholders in approving our initial business combination and otherwise exercising their rights as public shareholders because of their indirect ownership of.

 

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

 

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against willful default, willful neglect, actual fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that our officers and directors will be indemnified by us to the fullest extent permitted by law, as it now exists or may in the future be amended, including for any liability incurred in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud, willful default or willful neglect. We expect to purchase a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our officers and directors.

 

DTCS’s officers and directors have agreed, and any persons who may become officers or directors prior to the initial business combination will agree, to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the trust account, and to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any services provided to us and will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason whatsoever. Accordingly, any indemnification provided will only be able to be satisfied by us if (i) we have sufficient funds outside of the trust account or (ii) we consummate an initial business combination.

 

DTCS’s indemnification obligations may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against our officers or directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our shareholders. Furthermore, a shareholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against our officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

 

DTCS believes that these provisions, the insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced officers and directors.

 

218

 

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

 

Compensation Recovery and Clawback Policy

 

Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, in the event of misconduct that results in a financial restatement that would have reduced a previously paid incentive amount, we can recoup those improper payments from our executive officers. The SEC has also recently adopted rules that direct national stock exchanges to require listed companies to implement policies intended to recoup bonuses paid to executives if the company is found to have misstated its financial results.

 

On December 1, 2023, our Board of Directors approved the adoption of the Compensation Recovery Policy. (the “Clawback Policy”), in order to comply with the final clawback rules adopted by the SEC under Rule 10D-1 under the Exchange Act (the “Rule”), and the listing standards, as set forth in Rule 5608 of the Nasdaq Listing Rules (collectively, the “Final Clawback Rules”).

 

The Clawback Policy provides for the mandatory recovery of erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation from our current and former executive officers as defined in the Rule (“Covered Officers”) in the event that we are required to prepare an accounting restatement, in accordance with the Final Clawback Rules. The recovery of such compensation applies regardless of whether a Covered Officer engaged in misconduct or otherwise caused or contributed to the requirement of an accounting restatement. Under the Clawback Policy, our Board of Directors may recoup from the Covered Officers erroneously awarded incentive compensation received within a lookback period of the three completed fiscal years preceding the date on which we are required to prepare an accounting restatement.

 

The Sponsor and its Affiliates

 

The Sponsor is DT Cloud Star Management Limited, a British Virgin Islands company. Infinity-Star Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands company wholly owned by Mr. Guojian Chen (a non-U.S. person), and Jin Xin, a PRC resident, hold 20% and 80%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of our sponsor. Our sponsor is governed by its sole director, Mr. Guojian Chen. By virtue of these relationships, each of Mr. Xin and Mr. Chen may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of the securities held of record by our Sponsor. The Sponsor’s business purpose is to act as the sponsor of DTCS and the Sponsor has no other business purpose.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF DTCS

 

Overview

 

DTCS is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on November 29, 2022 as an exempted company with limited liability. DTCS was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities, which is referred to as a “target business.” DTCS is an emerging growth company and, as such, is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

 

On July 26, 2024, DTCS consummated the IPO of 6,900,000 DTCS Units, which includes the exercise in full by the underwriters of their over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 900,000 DTCS Units on July 25, 2024. Each DTCS Unit consists of one DTCS Ordinary Share, and one DTCS Right to receive one-ninth (1/9) of one DTCS Ordinary Share upon the consummation of an initial business combination. The DTCS Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per DTCS Unit, generating gross proceeds of $69,000,000. AGP served as the representative of the underwriters of the IPO.

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO on July 26, 2024, DTCS consummated the private placement with the Sponsor, of 206,900 DTCS Private Units at a price of $10.00 per DTCS Private Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $2,069,000. As of July 26, 2024, a total of $69,000,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO were deposited in the Trust Account established for the benefit of Public Shareholders, with the Trustee acting as trustee.

 

DTCS Units started to be listed on The Nasdaq Global Market and began trading under the ticker symbol “DTSQU” on July 25, 2024. On September 12, 2024, DTCS announced that the holders of the DTCS Units may elect to separately trade the underlying component securities of the DTCS Units commencing on September 16, 2024. Those DTCS Units not separated continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “DTSQU,” and each of the DTCS Ordinary Shares and DTCS Rights that have been separated trade on Nasdaq under the symbols “DTSQ” and “DTSQR,” respectively.

 

DTCS’s efforts to identify a prospective target business will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic location. DTCS’s management team is actively seeking out potential opportunities to pursue a business combination. Completion of an initial business combination is subject to, among other things, the negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement providing for the transaction, satisfaction of the closing conditions included therein and approval of the transaction by DTCS shareholders. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that a definitive agreement will be entered into or that the proposed transaction will be consummated in the near term. Nevertheless, DTCS is confident that it will be able to find a target business that will meet expectations. DTCS intends to capitalize on the strengths and experiences of its management team to select, acquire and form a business combination that has a competitive advantage in their core business and is positioned to bring in high returns and long-term sustainable growth.

 

DTCS initially had 15 months from the closing of the IPO to consummate its initial business combination. On October 22, 2025, DTCS entered into an amendment to the Trust Agreement with the Trustee. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement (as so amended), DTCS has the right to extend the time to complete its initial business combination for a period of 12 months from October 26, 2025 to October 26, 2026 by depositing into the Trust Account $75,000 for all remaining Public Shares for each one-month extension.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

On July 26, 2024, DTCS consummated the IPO of 6,900,000 DTCS Units, which includes the exercise in full by the underwriters of their over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 900,000 DTCS Units on July 25, 2024. The DTCS Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per DTCS Unit, generating gross proceeds of $69,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO on July 26, 2024, DTCS consummated the private placement with the Sponsor of 206,900 DTCS Private Units at a price of $10.00 per DTCS Private Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $2,069,000.

 

Following the IPO and the private placement, a total of $69,000,000 of the net proceeds were deposited in the Trust Account. DTCS intends to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (excluding deferred underwriting commissions and less taxes payable) to complete its initial business combination. DTCS may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes. To the extent that DTCS’s equity or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete its initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue growth strategies. DTCS intends to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, cash used in operating activities was $120, primarily due to the Company’s operating expenditures, which offset payments made by the sponsor during the period. As of June 30, 2026, we had cash at bank of $341.

 

On June 30, 2026, the Company had working capital deficit of $980,611, excluding deferred underwriting commissions and the available cash held in the Trust Account for marketable securities, which indicated a lack of liquidity it needed to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which was considered to be one year from the issuance of the financial statements.

 

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an initial business combination, the Sponsor, officers, directors, or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan DTCS funds as may be required. If DTCS completes its initial business combination, it will repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the initial business combination does not close, DTCS may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts, but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $300,000 of such loans may be convertible upon consummation of the initial business combination into DTCS Private Units at a price of $10.00 per DTCS Private Unit.

 

On October 28, 2024, DTCS issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which DTCS may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000 (the “Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note is non-interest-bearing and payable on the consummation of the initial business combination or converted upon consummation of the Business Combination into additional DTCS Private Units at a price of $10.00 per DTCS Private Unit. On July 29, 2025, DTCS entered into a Letter Agreement to the Working Capital Loan Note (the “Letter Agreement”) with the Sponsor, pursuant to which DTCS and the Sponsor agreed to terminate the Working Capital Loan Note and confirmed that the outstanding amount borrowed under the Promissory Note was $nil.

 

221

 

 

On February 2, 2026, DTCS entered into the Business Combination Agreement with PrimeGen US, Inc. and certain other parties, pursuant to which DTCS intends to consummate its initial business combination through a series of merger transactions. Management believes that the consummation of the Business Combination, if completed, would provide DTCS with an operating business and additional capital resources. However, the completion of the Business Combination is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and shareholder approval, and there can be no assurance that the transaction will be consummated. Accordingly, the matters described above do not alleviate the substantial doubt about DTCS’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Additionally, in connection with the Extension Proposal at the Annual Meeting, a total of 5,247,491 Public Shares were tendered for redemption. The Redemption resulted in a significant reduction in the number of outstanding Public Shares and has impacted DTCS’s available liquidity. Management is actively managing DTCS’s cash resources to ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet its cash needs.

 

The Redemption, together with the extension of the business combination deadline, provides DTCS with additional time to pursue suitable acquisition targets. However, the redemption activity has reduced the amount of cash available outside of the Trust Account, and any further redemptions could further impact DTCS’s liquidity position and its ability to consummate the Business Combination. To support its ongoing liquidity needs and fund operating and transaction-related expenses, DTCS plans to issue additional promissory notes to the Sponsor or its affiliates, subject to mutually agreed terms. DTCS will continue to closely monitor its liquidity position and take appropriate actions to ensure that it maintains sufficient capital resources to complete the Business Combination.

 

Results of Operations

 

DTCS has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenue to date. DTCS’s entire activity since inception through June 30, 2026 related to its formation, the preparation for the IPO, and since the closing of the IPO, the search for a prospective initial business combination. DTCS does not expect to generate any operating revenues until the closing and completion of its initial business combination, at the earliest. DTCS will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the amount held in the Trust Account. DTCS expects to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with search for, and completing, a business combination.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we had net loss of $74,754, which consisted of operating costs of $394,383, offset by interest earned on marketable securities held in the operating account and Trust Account of $319,629. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we had net income of $1,261,782, which consisted of operating costs of $223,570, offset by interest and dividends earned on marketable securities held in the operating account and Trust Account of $1,485,352.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

Registration Rights

 

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on July 24, 2024, the holders of the Founder Shares, DTCS Private Units (including securities contained therein), and DTCS Units (including securities contained therein) that may be issued on conversion of working capital loans are entitled to certain customary registration rights for the resale of such securities. The holders of these securities are entitled to make requests for no more than two demand registrations, excluding short form demands, that DTCS register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to DTCS’s completion of its initial business combination and rights to require DTCS to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. DTCS will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

 

222

 

 

Underwriting Agreement

 

The underwriters are entitled to a cash underwriting commission of 2.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO upon the closing of the initial business combination, including (1) $0.15 per DTCS Unit, or $1,035,000 in the aggregate, payable to the underwriters in cash upon the consummation of the IPO, and (2) $0.10 per DTCS Unit, or $690,000 in the aggregate, for deferred underwriting commissions that will be placed in the Trust Account as described in the IPO Prospectus and payable to the underwriters in cash upon the consummation of the initial business combination. In addition, DTCS agreed to issue 69,000 DTCS Ordinary Shares (the “Representative Shares”) to AGP upon the consummation of the IPO as part of the underwriting compensation in connection with the offering. On July 26, 2024, DTCS issued 69,000 Representative Shares to AGP at the closing of the IPO, which have been received by AGP.

 

Administrative Services Agreement

 

On July 24, 2024, DTCS entered into an agreement with the Sponsor, pursuant to which DTCS agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for secretarial and administrative support services provided to DTCS through the earlier of consummation of the initial business combination and DTCS’s liquidation.

 

In addition, the Sponsor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on DTCS’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. There is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on DTCS’s behalf.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. 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 the reported amounts of income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. A critical accounting estimate to DTCS’s unaudited financial statements includes the valuation of DTCS Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption. DTCS has not identified any critical accounting estimates.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

DTCS’s management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on DTCS’s unaudited financial statements.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of June 30, 2026, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

 

Subsequent Events

 

On April 6, 2026, DTCS received a deficiency notice from Nasdaq stating that it no longer complies with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450 (a)(2), which requires a minimum of 400 public shareholders for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market. DTCS has until May 21, 2026 to submit a compliance plan, and may be granted up to 180 days from the notice date to regain compliance if the plan is accepted. DTCS is evaluating strategic alternatives, including a potential transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market. There can be no assurance that DTCS will successfully regain compliance or maintain its Nasdaq listing. DTCS filed a Form 8-K with the SEC on April 9, 2026 to disclose this matter.

 

223

 

 

JOBS Act

 

DTCS qualifies as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act and is allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. DTCS elected to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, DTCS may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, DTCS’s financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

 

As an “emerging growth company,” DTCS is not required to, among other things, (1) provide an auditor’s attestation report on its system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (2) 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, (3) 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 (4) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of the IPO or until DTCS is no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

 

Going Concern Consideration

 

As of December 31, 2025, DTCS had approximately $461 in cash and cash in escrow and working capital deficit of approximately $361,245. DTCS had net income of $2,132,715 for the year ended December 31, 2025, which is mainly from the interest and dividends earned in the Trust Account.

 

DTCS has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. DTCS initially had 15 months from the closing of the IPO to consummate its initial business combination. On October 22, 2025, DTCS entered into an amendment to the Trust Agreement with the Trustee. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement (as so amended), DTCS has the right to extend the time to complete its initial business combination for a period of 12 months from October 26, 2025 to October 26, 2026 by depositing into the Trust Account $75,000 for all remaining Public Shares for each one-month extension.

 

If DTCS does not complete a business combination by October 26, 2026 (unless further extended), it will trigger an automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation pursuant to the terms of the DTCS Memorandum and Articles. As a result, this has the same effect as if DTCS had formally gone through a voluntary liquidation procedure under the Companies Act. Accordingly, no vote would be required from DTCS’s shareholders to commence such a voluntary winding up, dissolution and liquidation. If DTCS is unable to consummate its initial business combination by October 26, 2026 (unless further extended), DTCS will, as promptly as possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of its outstanding Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, including a pro rata portion of any interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not necessary to pay taxes, and then seek to liquidate and dissolve. However, DTCS may not be able to distribute such amounts as a result of claims of creditors which may take priority over the claims of Public Shareholders. In the event of dissolution and liquidation, DTCS’s warrants and rights will expire and will be worthless.

 

In connection with DTCS’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that if DTCS is unsuccessful in consummating an initial business combination within the prescribed period of time from the closing of the IPO, the requirement that DTCS cease all operations, redeem the Public Shares and thereafter liquidate and dissolve raises substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern.

 

224

 

 

Business Combination Agreement

 

Subsequent to December 31, 2025, on February 2, 2026, DTCS entered into the Business Combination Agreement with PrimeGen US, Inc. and certain other parties, pursuant to which DTCS intends to consummate its initial business combination through a series of merger transactions. Management believes that the consummation of the Business Combination, if completed, would provide DTCS with an operating business and additional capital resources. However, the completion of the Business Combination is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and shareholder approval, and there can be no assurance that the transaction will be consummated. Accordingly, the matters described above do not alleviate the substantial doubt about DTCS’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management has determined that DTCS has funds that are sufficient to fund the working capital needs of DTCS until the consummation of an initial business combination or the winding up of DTCS as stipulated in the DTCS Memorandum and Articles. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplate continuation of DTCS as a going concern.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

DTCS consummated the IPO of 6,900,000 DTCS Units, which includes the exercise in full by the underwriters of their over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 900,000 DTCS Units on July 25, 2024. The DTCS Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per DTCS Unit, generating gross proceeds of $69,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO on July 26, 2024, DTCS consummated the private placement with the Sponsor of 206,900 DTCS Private Units at a price of $10.00 per DTCS Private Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $2,069,000.

 

Following the IPO and the private placement, a total of $69,000,000 of the net proceeds were deposited in the Trust Account. DTCS intends to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (excluding deferred underwriting commissions and less taxes payable) to complete its initial business combination. DTCS may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes. To the extent that DTCS’s equity or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete its initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue growth strategies. DTCS intends to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2025, cash used by operating activities was $410,968, primarily due to prepayment of formation and operational costs. As of December 31, 2025, DTCS had cash at bank of $461.

 

On December 31, 2025, DTCS had working capital deficit of $361,245, excluding deferred underwriting commissions and the available cash held in the Trust Account for marketable securities, which indicated a lack of liquidity needed to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which was considered to be one year from the issuance of the financial statements.

 

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an initial business combination, the Sponsor, officers, directors, or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan DTCS funds as may be required. If DTCS completes its initial business combination, it will repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the initial business combination does not close, DTCS may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts, but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used for such repayment.

 

On October 28, 2024, DTCS issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which DTCS may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000 (the “Working Capital Loan Note”). The Working Capital Loan Note is non-interest-bearing and payable on the consummation of the initial business combination or converted upon consummation of the Business Combination into additional DTCS Private Units at a price of $10.00 per DTCS Private Unit. On July 29, 2025, DTCS entered into a Letter Agreement to the Working Capital Loan Note (the “Letter Agreement”) with the Sponsor, pursuant to which DTCS and the Sponsor agreed to terminate the Working Capital Loan Note and confirmed that the outstanding amount borrowed under the Promissory Note was $nil.

 

225

 

 

On October 22, 2025, DTCS entered into an amendment to the Trust Agreement with the Trustee. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement (as so amended), DTCS has the right to extend the time to complete its initial business combination for a period of 12 months from October 26, 2025 to October 26, 2026 by depositing into the Trust Account $75,000 for all remaining Public Shares for each one-month extension. On October 23, 2025, DTCS issued an unsecured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $75,000 (the “Note”) to the Sponsor, in exchange for its depositing such amount into DTCS’s Trust Account in order to extend the amount of time available to complete the Business Combination. The Note does not bear interest and matures upon the closing of the Business Combination. In addition, the Note may be converted by the holder into DTCS Units identical to the DTCS Units issued in the IPO at a price of $10.00 per DTCS Unit.

 

On each of November 28, 2025 and January 6, 2026, DTCS deposited $75,000 into the Trust Account for monthly extensions. On March 16, 2026, DTCS deposited an additional $150,000 into the Trust Account representing monthly extension payments through March 2026. A payment in the amount of $225,000 was deposited into the Trust Account on July 10, 2026; and a payment in the amount of $75,000 was deposited into the Trust Account on July 14, 2026. These amounts are to be repaid at or after the Closing by Pubco out of available cash. No promissory notes were issued in connection with any of such payments, and these amounts due are not convertible into Private Units or any other securities of DTCS or of Pubco.

 

Additionally, in connection with the Extension Proposal at the Annual Meeting, a total of 5,247,491 Public Shares were tendered for redemption. The Redemption resulted in a significant reduction in the number of outstanding Public Shares and has impacted DTCS’s available liquidity. In connection with the Annual Meeting, DTCS and the Sponsor entered into a Non-Redemption Agreement with one unaffiliated third-party DTCS shareholder, providing that in exchange for such shareholder agreeing to not redeem (or validly rescind any redemption requests on) 600,000 DTCS Ordinary Shares at the Annual Meeting, the Sponsor agreed to transfer to this third party shareholder 200,000 DTCS Ordinary Shares owned by the Sponsor upon the closing of DTCS’s initial business combination. The transfer of 200,000 DTCS Ordinary Shares held by the Sponsor pursuant to the Non-Redemption Agreement will be accounted for in accordance with ASC 718. The Company will recognize the fair value of the transferred shares as a non-cash expense, with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital, when the transfer occurs upon the closing of the Business Combination. The fair value will be determined based on the market price of DTCS Ordinary Shares at the applicable measurement date, taking into consideration the characteristics of the transferred Founder Shares, including applicable transfer restrictions and other relevant factors. The Non-Redemption Agreement does not contain any put options, price guarantees, or cash-settlement features, and the most-favored-nation provision does not result in liability or derivative classification. The Redemption, together with the extension of the business combination deadline, provides DTCS with additional time to pursue suitable acquisition targets. However, the redemption activity has reduced the amount of cash available outside of the Trust Account, and any further redemptions could further impact DTCS’s liquidity position and its ability to consummate the Business Combination. To support its ongoing liquidity needs and fund operating and transaction-related expenses, DTCS plans to issue additional promissory notes to the Sponsor or its affiliates, subject to mutually agreed terms. DTCS will continue to closely monitor its liquidity position and take appropriate actions to ensure that it maintains sufficient capital resources to complete the Business Combination.

 

Results of Operations

 

DTCS has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenue to date. DTCS’s entire activity since inception through December 31, 2025 related to its formation, the preparation for the IPO, and since the closing of the IPO, the search for a prospective initial business combination. DTCS does not expect to generate any operating revenues until the closing and completion of its initial business combination, at the earliest. DTCS will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the amount held in the Trust Account. DTCS expects to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with search for, and completing, a business combination.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2025, DTCS had net income of $2,132,715, which consisted of operating costs of $557,174, offset by interest and dividends earned on marketable securities held in the operating account and Trust Account of $2,689,889.

 

Subsequent to December 31, 2025, on February 2, 2026, DTCS entered into the Business Combination Agreement with PrimeGen US, Inc. and certain other parties, pursuant to which DTCS intends to consummate its initial business combination. As the Business Combination had not been consummated as of December 31, 2025, the execution of the Business Combination Agreement did not have any impact on DTCS’s results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025. Accordingly, DTCS did not recognize any revenues related to the target business during the period, and expenses continued to primarily consist of legal, accounting, advisory and other professional fees incurred in connection with identifying and evaluating a target business and preparing for the Business Combination.

Contractual Obligations

 

Registration Rights

 

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on July 24, 2024, the holders of the Founder Shares, DTCS Private Units (including securities contained therein), and DTCS Units (including securities contained therein) that may be issued on conversion of working capital loans are entitled to certain customary registration rights for the resale of such securities. The holders of these securities are entitled to make requests for no more than two demand registrations, excluding short form demands, that DTCS register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to DTCS’s completion of its initial business combination and rights to require DTCS to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. DTCS will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. The number of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock covered by the Registration Rights Agreement will be at least [*], which amount is comprised of (i) [*] shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock (including shares converted from Pubco Class B Common Stock) held by certain principals and other stockholders of PGUS and (ii) 1,931,900 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock held by the Sponsor. In addition, depending on the number of Non-Redemption Warrants that will be issued to the Sponsor, an additional number of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock that are issuable to the Sponsor upon exercise of the Non-Redemption Warrants issued to the Sponsor will be covered by the Registration Rights Agreement (this number will be determined at the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting and will be a maximum of 1,931,900, which assumes 100% redemptions). All shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock that will be covered by the Registration Rights Agreement also will be subject to the Lock-up Agreements.

 

Underwriting Agreement

 

The underwriters are entitled to a cash underwriting commission of 2.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO upon the closing of the initial business combination, including (1) $0.15 per DTCS Unit, or $1,035,000 in the aggregate, payable to the underwriters in cash upon the consummation of the IPO, and (2) $0.10 per DTCS Unit, or $690,000 in the aggregate, for deferred underwriting commissions that will be placed in the Trust Account as described in the IPO Prospectus and payable to the underwriters in cash upon the consummation of the initial business combination. In addition, DTCS agreed to issue 69,000 DTCS Ordinary Shares (the “Representative Shares”) to AGP upon the consummation of the IPO as part of the underwriting compensation in connection with the offering. On July 26, 2024, DTCS issued 69,000 Representative Shares to AGP at the closing of the IPO, which have been received by AGP.

 

Administrative Services Agreement

 

On July 24, 2024, DTCS entered into an agreement with the Sponsor, pursuant to which DTCS agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for secretarial and administrative support services provided to DTCS through the earlier of consummation of the initial business combination and DTCS’s liquidation.

 

In addition, the Sponsor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on DTCS’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. There is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on DTCS’s behalf.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. 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 the reported amounts of income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

 

A critical accounting estimate to DTCS’s financial statements includes the valuation of DTCS Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption. DTCS has not identified any critical accounting estimates.

 

In connection with the Business Combination, management has estimated the costs related to the transaction, which include legal, accounting, advisory, and other professional fees. These costs are expensed as incurred and are subject to change depending on the final structure of the Business Combination and the parties involved. DTCS has not yet finalized the total amount of transaction costs, which will be reflected in the financial statements upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

DTCS’s management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on DTCS’s audited financial statements.

INFORMATION ABOUT PGUS

 

BUSINESS

 

References in this section to “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company” or “PrimeGen” generally refer to PrimeGen US, Inc.

 

Business Overview

 

PrimeGen is a development-stage biotechnology company focused on regenerative medicine therapies utilizing allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells (“MSCs”) and MSC-derived products. The Company’s core technology platform, stemXcell, is a proprietary MSC pre-activation process designed to enhance the immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties of human umbilical cord-derived MSCs (“hUC-MSCs”).

 

PrimeGen’s therapeutic strategy is grounded in more than two decades of stem cell research. The Company’s approach is based on the growing scientific understanding that MSCs exert their therapeutic effects primarily through inflammation-modulatory and immunomodulatory mechanisms rather than through direct tissue engraftment. By pre-activating MSCs prior to administration, PrimeGen seeks to enhance these mechanisms in a controlled and reproducible manner. The StemXcell platform is designed to generate MSC populations with heightened anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory signaling, and improved functional consistency relative to unmodified MSCs.

 

The Company’s initial therapeutic focus is acute inflammatory liver disease, including acute alcoholic hepatitis and related forms of acute liver failure. These conditions are associated with high morbidity and mortality and are characterized by dysregulated immune responses, cytokine signaling, and hepatocellular injury. PrimeGen’s lead product candidate, PGSXC-L1A, is an intravenously administered formulation of allogeneic, stemXcell-activated hUC-MSCs intended to modulate inflammatory cascades and support tissue repair in acute liver injury. PGSXC-L1A is currently in preclinical development. The Company has engaged in regulatory interactions to support future clinical development; however, no investigational new drug application has been submitted, and there can be no assurance that clinical trials will commence or that any product candidate will ultimately receive regulatory approval.

 

228

 

 

Beyond acute liver disease, PrimeGen is contemplating evaluating the application of its MSC activation platform in additional inflammatory, autoimmune, and degenerative conditions. These may include disorders in which immune dysregulation or inflammatory signaling plays a central role, such as graft-versus-host disease, acute organ injury, or other severe inflammatory states. The Company’s platform is indication-agnostic in concept, but each potential application will require disease-specific preclinical validation and regulatory review. PrimeGen does not currently have approved clinical programs.

 

In parallel with its therapeutic development efforts, PrimeGen is developing non-therapeutic commercial products derived from MSC conditioned media and extracellular vesicles (“exosomes”). During MSC expansion and activation, the cells secrete a complex mixture of bioactive proteins, cytokines, growth factors, and vesicles into the surrounding culture medium. PrimeGen views these secreted products as co-products of its MSC platform rather than incidental by-products. The Company has developed, intends to further develop, formulations of MSC-derived conditioned media and exosomes for cosmetic and wellness applications, such as topical skincare or professional aesthetic use, subject to applicable regulatory constraints. These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease and will be marketed, if at all, only in compliance with cosmetic and consumer product regulations.

 

PrimeGen’s business model therefore spans two complementary domains: (i) regulated therapeutic development of MSC-based biologics intended for serious medical conditions and (ii) non-therapeutic commercial applications of MSC-derived products in cosmetic and wellness markets. With respect to its sole therapeutic product candidate, PGSXC-L1A, PrimeGen is pre-revenue and has not received regulatory approval for such product candidate. The Company’s sole therapeutic product candidate remains investigational. Commencing on or about January 1, 2026, the Company has begun the manufacture and sale of aesthetic exosome skin care products, including under the brand name Étrive, and has derived limited initial sales related thereto. The Company believes this dual-track approach could diversify development risk and leverage common scientific and manufacturing capabilities; however, both domains involve significant scientific, regulatory, and execution risks.

 

Industry Overview

 

PrimeGen operates within the regenerative medicine and biotechnology industry, a sector characterized by rapid scientific innovation, long development timelines, substantial capital requirements, and intensive regulatory oversight. Regenerative medicine encompasses a broad range of technologies, including cell therapies, gene therapies, tissue-engineered products, and biologics intended to restore or modulate biological function. Within this landscape, MSC-based therapies represent a significant and actively researched category, particularly for inflammatory and immune-mediated conditions.

 

MSC therapeutics have been investigated across a wide range of indications due to their immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and trophic properties. Numerous academic institutions and biotechnology companies have conducted preclinical and clinical studies evaluating MSCs derived from various tissue sources, including bone marrow, adipose tissue, and perinatal tissues. While many MSC programs have encountered challenges related to variability, manufacturing scalability, and inconsistent clinical outcomes, recent regulatory developments demonstrate that approval of MSC-based therapies is feasible when supported by robust data and manufacturing controls.

 

At the same time, MSC-based approaches compete with alternative therapeutic modalities. Small-molecule drugs, monoclonal antibodies, and gene-based therapies are being developed for many of the same inflammatory and degenerative diseases targeted by cell therapies. In certain disease areas, conventional pharmacologic approaches may offer advantages in scalability, dosing predictability, or cost, while cell-based therapies may offer differentiated biological mechanisms. As a result, companies developing MSC therapies generally may need to demonstrate clear safety, consistency, and clinical benefits, among other things, to achieve adoption.

 

The regulatory environment for regenerative medicine continues to evolve globally. In the United States, MSC therapies that involve more-than-minimal manipulation or non-homologous use are regulated as biologics and require investigational new drug authorization and biologics license approval prior to commercialization. The regulatory pathway for exosome-based therapeutic products has not been clearly established by FDA or other regulatory authorities worldwide. There is limited regulatory precedent for the approval of exosome-based therapies, and regulatory authorities have not issued comprehensive guidance specifically addressing the development, manufacturing, characterization, quality control or clinical testing requirements for such products. It is unclear whether FDA or other regulators will classify exosome product candidates as drugs, biologics, gene therapies, combination products or some other regulatory category, and what specific regulatory requirements will apply. Comparable advanced therapy frameworks exist in other major markets, including Europe and Asia-Pacific jurisdictions. Regulatory agencies have increased enforcement against unapproved stem cell and exosome products, particularly those marketed directly to consumers without authorization, which has raised barriers for non-compliant actors while reinforcing the importance of formal development pathways.

 

229

 

 

In parallel, a distinct but related market has emerged for MSC-derived conditioned media and exosomes (collectively the “secretome”) in cosmetic and wellness applications. Interest in these products has grown as scientific research has highlighted the role of MSC secretomes in intercellular signaling and tissue homeostasis. Commercial activity in this area is particularly visible in Asia-Pacific markets, where cosmetic products incorporating cell-derived ingredients have gained consumer traction. However, regulatory authorities generally restrict such products to cosmetic claims and closely scrutinize any implication of therapeutic benefit. The regulatory treatment of exosome-containing products remains an area of ongoing development, and requirements may change over time.

 

Overall, the regenerative medicine industry presents a high-risk, high-reward profile. Development cycles are lengthy, failure rates are significant, and regulatory expectations are stringent. At the same time, successful products can address substantial unmet medical needs and achieve meaningful commercial value. Within this environment, PrimeGen seeks to position itself as an early-stage entrant focused on MSC activation technology and disciplined regulatory development, operating in competition with both direct MSC therapy developers and companies pursuing alternative therapeutic and cosmetic approaches

 

Products and Services

 

PrimeGen’s products and services are centered on its proprietary MSC technology platform and can be grouped into two primary categories: (i) investigational therapeutic products based on activated MSCs, and (ii) non-therapeutic commercial products derived from MSC conditioned media and exosomes. All products remain in development, and no product has received regulatory approval.

 

Investigational Therapeutic Product

 

Therapeutic Product – Activated MSC Therapies

 

PrimeGen’s therapeutic pipeline consists of investigational, allogeneic MSC-based biologic products intended for the treatment of serious inflammatory and immune-mediated diseases. These products are derived from human umbilical cord–derived MSCs (“hUC-MSCs”) that have undergone the Company’s proprietary stemXcell pre-activation process prior to administration. PGUS’s lead and currently sole therapeutic product candidate is PGSXC-L1A. For details, see “Lead Product Candidate – PGSXC-L1A” below. In addition to PGSXC-L1A, PGUS continues to evaluate potential future applications of its stem cell activation technologies and related platform capabilities. These activities are currently at an early research and evaluation stage, and PGUS has not selected any additional therapeutic product candidates for formal development.

 

Platform Rationale and Mechanism

 

Scientific evidence suggests that MSCs exert their therapeutic effects primarily through inflammation-modulatory and immunomodulatory mechanisms rather than long-term engraftment or differentiation. MSCs respond dynamically to inflammatory environments by secreting cytokines, growth factors, and exosomes that can modulate immune cell activity, attenuate inflammatory cascades, and support tissue repair. However, unmodified MSCs may exhibit variability in potency depending on donor source, culture conditions, and the inflammatory context at the site of injury.

 

The fundamental principle of the stemXcell platform is a series of methods designed to enhance certain functional characteristics of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (“hUC-MSCs”) without genetic modification (such as gene knockout, gene insertion or chromatin modification). In practice, hUC-MSCs are cultured in media containing multiple cytokines intended to enhance and modulate certain intrinsic cellular functions. The stemXcell platform is based on the theory that the therapeutic functions of hUC-MSCs are primarily associated with their immunomodulatory, inflammation-modulating and tissue-regenerative properties. By cultivating hUC-MSCs in a selected cytokine environment, with cytokine concentrations controlled and monitored throughout the process, PrimeGen seeks to manipulate cellular signaling pathways through cytokine-receptor interactions on the surface of hUC-MSCs. The Company believes that this process may functionally alter certain cellular characteristics and may enhance capabilities associated with: (i) secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokines; (ii) immunomodulatory activity, including inhibition of T-cell proliferation; (iii) homing of hUC-MSCs to sites of inflammation; and (iv) promotion of tissue regeneration. The stemXcell activation methodology is considered a platform technology because the functional characteristics of the cells can be modulated through changes in activation conditions, including the types of cytokines used, their concentrations and the duration of exposure. By adjusting these activation conditions, PrimeGen seeks to produce hUC-MSCs with functional characteristics tailored to an intended therapeutic application.

 

The stemXcell platform was initially developed in 2019 through laboratory research focused on optimizing cytokine-based activation methods for hUC-MSCs. Since that time, PrimeGen has continued to refine the platform and has expanded its use from laboratory-scale research to manufacturing-scale production processes. PrimeGen is continuing to optimize and develop the platform, and the platform is not considered fully developed. Additional research, process development, manufacturing validation and clinical testing will be required before any stemXcell-derived therapeutic product candidate may be approved for commercial use.

 

230

 

 

Lead Product Candidate – PGSXC-L1A

 

PrimeGen’s lead and sole therapeutic candidate, PGSXC-L1A, is an intravenously administered formulation of stemXcell-activated hUC-MSCs intended for the treatment of acute inflammatory liver disease, including acute alcoholic hepatitis and related forms of acute liver failure. These conditions are characterized by severe immune dysregulation, cytokine-mediated hepatocellular injury, and high short-term mortality, with limited approved therapeutic options.

 

The Company and its collaborators have conducted two published preclinical studies evaluating activated human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (“activated hUC-MSCs”) in humanized FRG mouse models of acute alcohol-induced liver injury. In the first study, published in 2022, a total of 52 animals were evaluated across two cohorts. In the second cohort, all 21 animals treated with activated hUC-MSCs survived to the planned endpoint, compared with 3 of 5 animals treated with non-activated MSCs and 1 of 7 vehicle-treated animals. Investigators also reported reductions in certain serum liver injury biomarkers and changes in molecular markers associated with inflammation, tissue injury, and programmed cell death in activated MSC-treated animals. In a second study, published in 2024, 62 humanized mice were randomized to receive vehicle control or activated hUC-MSCs at five dose levels ranging from 28,000 to 1,000,000 cells per injection. In the study, the highest dose group achieved a statistically significant survival benefit compared with vehicle-treated animals, with 8 of 11 animals surviving to endpoint versus 3 of 10 vehicle-treated animals. These studies were exploratory, conducted in non-clinical animal models, and may not be predictive of safety or efficacy outcomes in humans.

 

PGSXC-L1A is currently in preclinical development. The Company has undertaken activities to support future clinical evaluation, including manufacturing process development, preclinical safety assessments, and regulatory planning. No investigational new drug application has been approved, and there can be no assurance that clinical trials will commence or that any trial will demonstrate safety or efficacy. To support the future clinical development of PGSXC-L1A, PrimeGen is working with a transplant surgeon affiliated with the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine and a global contract research organization that provides clinical development, regulatory and trial management services. The same contract research organization is also assisting PrimeGen with its regulatory strategy and interactions with the FDA. With these parties, PrimeGen has developed a draft Phase 1 clinical trial protocol for PGSXC-L1A for the treatment of acute alcoholic hepatitis (“AAH”), which was included in briefing materials submitted to the FDA in connection with a pre-IND meeting held on December 17, 2025, as discussed below.

 

For preclinical safety and development assessments, PrimeGen is conducting dose-efficacy studies in humanized mice and tolerability and feasibility studies in swine in collaboration with the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine. PrimeGen is also working with a third-party contract research, development and manufacturing organization to conduct a GLP safety and toxicity study in rats. For manufacturing process development, PrimeGen has worked for several years with a third-party provider specializing in mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) and exosome bioprocess technologies. In addition, PrimeGen is currently negotiating and working with multiple contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs) to transfer manufacturing and quality control technologies and to establish a manufacturing supply network for PGSXC-L1A and related product candidates in accordance with current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) requirements.

 

On December 17, 2025, PrimeGen conducted a pre-IND meeting with the FDA regarding the planned development of PGSXC-L1A. In written meeting minutes provided by the FDA on January 8, 2026, the FDA indicated, among other things, that: (i) the planned nonclinical swine study is adequately designed to support the use of PGSXC-L1A in a first-in-human clinical trial; (ii) PrimeGen should consider refining its nonclinical development program to reduce the use of animals and that a single safety study that includes a cell distribution assessment group may be adequate to support the planned clinical trial; (iii) a 10-month study duration is not necessary to support the proposed clinical trial; (iv) a tumorigenicity study is not required for MSC-derived products and a three-month GLP safety and toxicity study, assuming resolution or stabilization of any observed toxicities, is likely adequate to support the planned clinical trial; and (v) the FDA deferred to PrimeGen regarding the appropriate approach to refining its nonclinical development program to reduce the number of animals used while generating interpretable data. Following the FDA’s feedback, PrimeGen modified certain aspects of its preclinical development program, including eliminating a planned stand-alone biodistribution study and reducing the duration and number of animals used in certain studies. PrimeGen believes these changes may streamline development while continuing to generate the data necessary to support a future IND submission.

 

Before submitting an IND for PGSXC-L1A, it plans to complete several remaining development activities. These activities include completion of its ongoing preclinical studies, including the humanized mouse study, the tolerability and feasibility study in swine, and the GLP safety and toxicity study in rats. PrimeGen must also finalize its manufacturing process, complete engineering runs and initial phase-appropriate GMP manufacturing runs to generate material for preclinical and clinical use, and finalize the clinical trial protocol and clinical site preparation activities, including preparation of the Investigator’s Brochure and Informed Consent documents. As of June 2026, PrimeGen anticipated completing these activities within the next six to twelve months and, if development proceeds as expected, may submit an IND in the first half of 2027 to support a Phase 1 clinical trial of PGSXC-L1A for the treatment of acute alcoholic hepatitis. However, there can be no assurance that these activities will be completed on the anticipated timeline, that an IND will be submitted or allowed by the FDA, or that clinical trials will commence as planned.

 

Potential Pipeline Expansion

 

Beyond acute liver disease, PrimeGen is contemplating evaluating additional therapeutic indications for its activated MSC platform. Potential areas of interest may include acute inflammatory and immune-mediated conditions in which dysregulated immune responses play a central role, such as graft-versus-host disease, acute organ injury, and other severe inflammatory syndromes. The Company may also explore chronic inflammatory or degenerative conditions where the biological activities associated with MSCs may warrant further investigation.

 

Each potential indication will require disease-specific preclinical validation, manufacturing adaptation, and regulatory review. PrimeGen does not currently have additional therapeutic candidates in clinical development, and no assurance can be given that the platform will be successfully applied to other indications.

 

Non-therapeutic Commercial Products

 

Biomedical Commercial Products – MSC-Derived Conditioned Media and Exosomes

 

In parallel with its therapeutic programs, PrimeGen is developing non-therapeutic commercial products derived from MSC conditioned media and exosomes, including under the brand name Étrive. During MSC expansion and activation, the cells secrete a complex mixture of bioactive factors into the surrounding culture medium, including cytokines, growth factors, lipids, nucleic acids, and vesicles involved in intercellular signaling.

 

PrimeGen views these secreted materials as co-products of its MSC platform rather than incidental by-products. The Company refers to these materials collectively as “conditioned media” and, when further processed, as MSC-derived exosomes. Scientific literature indicates that MSC-secreted molecules play a significant role in mediating the biological effects of MSCs, including effects on inflammation, tissue repair, and cellular communication. However, most evidence supporting these effects is derived from laboratory or preclinical studies, and large-scale clinical validation is limited.

 

231

 

 

Intended Applications and Product Formats

 

PrimeGen has developed, and intends to further develop, formulations of MSC-derived conditioned media and exosomes for cosmetic and wellness applications, , including under the brand name Étrive. Potential product formats include topical skincare formulations, professional aesthetic treatment adjuncts, and other non-therapeutic consumer products. These products are intended solely for cosmetic or wellness use and are not designed to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease.

 

Development Status

 

PrimeGen’s currently sole therapeutic MSC product candidate PGSXC-L1A has not received regulatory approval and has not commenced FDA-authorized clinical trials. PrimeGen has developed and recently launched formulations of MSC-derived conditioned media and exosomes under the Étrive skin solutions brand for cosmetic and wellness applications in the United States. These products are intended solely for cosmetic or wellness use and are not designed to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease. Based on PrimeGen’s current understanding of applicable FDA requirements, its non-therapeutic cosmetic and wellness products that are marketed solely for cosmetic purposes and do not make drug or therapeutic claims, are not subject to FDA premarket approval requirements. To date, market activity has been limited, and the Company has generated limited revenue from exosome-based cosmetic product sales. Although the Company has provided exosome-based cosmetic product samples to potential customers in Hong Kong for evaluation purposes, no sales have been made outside the United States to date. The Company has entered into a marketing support agreement and a fulfillment agreement with service providers to support the commercialization of its Étrive skin solutions products in the U.S., and anticipates entering into additional distributor or reseller agreements in various territories in the future.

 

Competitive Strengths

 

PrimeGen believes its competitive position within the regenerative medicine and MSC-based therapy landscape is supported by a combination of proprietary technology, scientific know-how, manufacturing strategy, and disciplined regulatory orientation. While the Company remains in an early stage of development and faces significant execution risk, the following factors differentiate its approach from many other participants in the field.

 

PrimeGen’s sole therapeutic product PGSXC-L1A remains in development and has not received regulatory approval and has not commenced FDA-authorized clinical trials. The Company recently launched cosmetic conditioned media and exosome products under the Étrive skin solutions brand; however, these products have had only limited market activity, and only limited revenue has been generated to date. Substantial additional development, regulatory review, and capital investment will be required before any therapeutic product may be commercialized, and substantial additional investment in manufacturing, marketing, and distribution will be required to achieve meaningful commercial success for cosmetic products.

 

Proprietary MSC Pre-Activation Platform

 

The central element of PrimeGen’s competitive strategy is its stemXcell MSC pre-activation platform. Scientific publications have reported that the biological activity of MSCs may be influenced by factors including donor source, culture conditions, inflammatory environment, and other aspects of manufacturing and administration. As a result, investigators have explored various approaches intended to modify or standardize MSC biological properties prior to clinical use. In unmodified form, MSCs may exhibit variable potency depending on donor source, culture history, inflammatory context, and timing of administration.

 

PrimeGen’s approach differs from conventional MSC therapies by activating human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) ex vivo under defined culture conditions prior to administration. In the studies conducted by PrimeGen and its collaborators, hUC-MSCs were exposed to three specific cytokines (“triple cocktail”) during manufacturing before harvest and administration. The Company has evaluated activated hUC-MSCs as a distinct product candidate in preclinical studies based on observed differences in certain biological characteristics relative to non-activated MSCs. The therapeutic relevance of the activation process and the extent to which it may influence clinical outcomes in humans have not been established. The therapeutic relevance of the activation process and the extent to which it may influence clinical outcomes in humans have not been established.

 

While similar priming approaches have been described in academic and commercial research settings, PrimeGen’s efforts are focused on developing a defined activation process that can be incorporated into its manufacturing workflow. The Company continues to evaluate the consistency and scalability of this process as development progresses.

 

232

 

 

Selection of Umbilical Cord–Derived Allogeneic MSCs

 

PrimeGen utilizes MSCs derived from human umbilical cord tissue rather than adult tissue sources such as bone marrow or adipose tissue. Umbilical cord–derived MSCs are generally considered less mature biologically and less immunogenic than adult tissue-derived MSCs, with lower expression of HLA class II and co-stimulatory molecules. Additionally, umbilical cord-derived MSCs exhibit significantly higher proliferation rates compared to adult tissue sources, which supports scalable manufacturing and consistent production of therapeutic doses. These properties may support their use in allogeneic, “off-the-shelf” applications without the need for patient-specific cell sourcing.

 

The Company believes that the combination of perinatal tissue sourcing and controlled pre-activation may further enhance immune compatibility and functional consistency. In contrast, some competing MSC programs rely on adult donor sources that may exhibit greater donor-to-donor variability or age-related functional decline. PrimeGen’s strategy is intended to support scalable manufacturing while maintaining a consistent biological starting material.

 

Focus on Paracrine and Immunomodulatory Mechanisms

 

PrimeGen’s development strategy is informed by an evolving scientific consensus that MSC therapeutic effects are mediated predominantly through paracrine signaling and immune modulation rather than durable engraftment or differentiation. This perspective influences both the Company’s therapeutic development and its parallel commercialization of MSC-derived conditioned media and exosomes.

 

By aligning its therapeutic and commercial programs around the same biological mechanisms — namely, MSC secretome activity — PrimeGen seeks to build a coherent scientific platform rather than a collection of unrelated products. The Company believes this integrated understanding of MSC biology may allow it to design more targeted activation protocols and to rationally expand into additional indications over time.

 

Manufacturing and Scalability Orientation

 

Manufacturing consistency and scalability have been persistent challenges in the MSC field. Many early MSC programs encountered difficulties in producing large quantities of cells with reproducible potency across batches and clinical sites. PrimeGen has structured its development strategy with these challenges in mind, emphasizing standardized cell sourcing, defined activation protocols, cryopreservation compatibility, and reliance on established contract manufacturing infrastructure.

 

The Company’s use of allogeneic cells supports centralized manufacturing and distribution models, in contrast to autologous approaches that require patient-specific production. PrimeGen believes that addressing manufacturability early in development may reduce downstream risks associated with late-stage scale-up, although no assurance can be given that manufacturing challenges will not arise.

 

Dual-Track Therapeutic and Commercial Strategy

 

PrimeGen’s pursuit of both regulated therapeutic products and non-therapeutic commercial products derived from MSC conditioned media represents a differentiated business approach. While many MSC-focused companies concentrate exclusively on therapeutic development, PrimeGen intends to leverage common scientific and manufacturing capabilities across both domains.

 

The Company believes this dual-track strategy may diversify development risk and allow earlier market engagement through cosmetic and wellness products, subject to any applicable regulatory limitations. However, PrimeGen recognizes that these markets are distinct, regulated differently, and require separate commercialization strategies. The Company does not rely on cosmetic products as a substitute for therapeutic development and does not assume that success in one domain ensures success in the other.

PrimeGen has licensed an intellectual property portfolio from an affiliated entity, PGB, covering aspects of MSC activation, therapeutic applications, and MSC-derived products, supported by trade secrets and proprietary process knowledge. PGB is a sister company under common control with PrimeGen. The exclusive license agreement grants PrimeGen worldwide rights to develop, manufacture, and commercialize products using the licensed intellectual property. The license requires PrimeGen to pay royalties on net sales of covered products and maintain the patents in good standing. The license may be terminated by PGB under certain circumstances, including material breach by PrimeGen. PrimeGen does not directly own such intellectual property but rather holds an exclusive license from a related party, which creates material dependency risks including the risk that the license could be terminated. See “Risk Factors - Risks Related to Our Business and Industry - Our business is highly dependent on our ability to obtain, maintain and enforce licenses covering key technologies, trademarks and other intellectual property assets that we do not own outright.” In a field where many basic MSC concepts are widely published, the Company’s competitive position depends not only on its licensed patents but also on its licensed know-how related to activation conditions, manufacturing controls, and quality attributes.

 

The Company’s scientific team has extensive experience in stem cell research, contributing to its ability to design experiments, interpret data, and adapt protocols efficiently. PrimeGen believes that this accumulated expertise, combined with its exclusive license to certain intellectual property, creates meaningful barriers to replication, although it acknowledges that intellectual property risks remain inherent in the biotechnology industry.

 

Competition

 

PrimeGen operates in a highly competitive environment spanning therapeutic biotechnology, regenerative medicine, and cosmetic and wellness markets. Competition exists not only from companies pursuing MSC-based therapies, but also from developers of alternative therapeutic modalities and from commercial providers of products making similar cosmetic or wellness claims.

 

Competition in MSC and Cell-Based Therapies

 

Numerous biotechnology companies and academic institutions are developing MSC-based or MSC-like therapies for inflammatory and degenerative diseases. Competitors vary in cell source, manufacturing strategy, and clinical focus.

 

Some companies, such as those utilizing adult tissue-derived MSCs, have advanced clinical programs in indications including graft-versus-host disease, cardiovascular disease, and orthopedic conditions. Others employ alternative manufacturing strategies, such as deriving MSC-like cells from induced pluripotent stem cells, with the goal of improving scalability and consistency. These approaches may offer advantages in certain contexts but introduce distinct technical and regulatory complexities.

 

PrimeGen’s activated MSC approach competes directly with both unmodified MSC therapies and alternative MSC engineering strategies. While pre-activation may offer theoretical advantages in potency or consistency, competing approaches may achieve clinical success through different mechanisms, such as cell source selection, genetic modification, or dosing strategies. Clinical outcomes, safety profiles, and manufacturing feasibility will ultimately determine competitive positioning.

 

In addition to commercial developers, academic centers and hospital-based programs continue to conduct investigator-initiated MSC trials, particularly in jurisdictions with permissive regulatory frameworks. Although these programs may not pursue commercialization, they contribute to the overall competitive environment by generating data, influencing clinical practice, and shaping regulatory expectations.

 

234

 

 

Competition from Non-Cellular Therapeutic Modalities

 

PrimeGen’s therapeutic targets also face competition from non-cellular approaches, including small-molecule drugs, monoclonal antibodies, and gene-based therapies. In inflammatory liver disease, for example, companies are pursuing pharmacologic agents designed to modulate immune signaling, fibrosis, or metabolic pathways. If such therapies demonstrate safety, efficacy, and scalability, they may become standard-of-care treatments that reduce the clinical or commercial opportunity for cell-based therapies.

 

More broadly, advances in gene editing, RNA-based therapeutics, and targeted biologics continue to reshape the treatment landscape for immune-mediated diseases. These modalities may offer advantages in dosing precision, manufacturing, or cost, and may compete with MSC therapies even if they address disease mechanisms differently.

 

Competition in Cosmetic and Wellness Applications

 

In the cosmetic and wellness domain, PrimeGen faces competition from established skincare brands, aesthetic treatment providers, and emerging companies offering products incorporating growth factors, peptides, platelet-derived materials, or cell-derived ingredients. Some competitors market products described as containing stem cell conditioned media or exosomes, particularly in Asia-Pacific markets.

 

The competitive landscape in this segment is fragmented and evolving, with varying levels of scientific rigor, manufacturing control, and regulatory compliance among market participants. PrimeGen believes that product quality, consistency, and scientific credibility may differentiate its offerings; however, consumer perception, branding, and regulatory developments will also play significant roles in market adoption.

 

Additionally, regulatory scrutiny of exosome-containing products may limit or reshape the competitive field. Companies unable or unwilling to adapt to evolving regulatory expectations may exit the market, while compliant developers may face increased costs and longer timelines.

 

Competitive Dynamics and Risks

 

PrimeGen competes not only for market share but also for capital, strategic partners, manufacturing capacity, and clinical trial participants. Many regenerative medicine companies target overlapping indications and rely on similar pools of patients, investigators, and contract service providers. Competition for these resources may affect development timelines and costs.

 

As an early-stage company, PrimeGen faces competitors with greater financial resources, more advanced clinical programs, or established commercial infrastructure. If competitors achieve regulatory approvals or market penetration ahead of PrimeGen, they may establish standards of care or brand recognition that could limit PrimeGen’s opportunities. Conversely, failures by competitors may increase regulatory caution or investor skepticism toward the broader MSC field.

 

Growth Strategies

 

PrimeGen’s growth strategy is focused on advancing its proprietary MSC activation platform through disciplined clinical development, expanding its product pipeline in a technically rational manner, leveraging non-therapeutic commercial applications of MSC-derived products where permitted, and forming strategic partnerships to support development, manufacturing, and market access. The Company’s strategy emphasizes stepwise validation, regulatory compliance, and capital efficiency.

 

235

 

 

Advancement of Lead Therapeutic Program into Clinical Development

 

PrimeGen’s near-term growth objective is to advance its lead therapeutic candidate, PGSXC-L1A, toward initial clinical evaluation, subject to FDA acceptance of a future investigational new drug application. This program serves both as a potential product opportunity and as a platform validation effort for the stemXcell activation approach. The Company’s development activities include preclinical pharmacology, safety, and biodistribution studies; development of potency and identity assays; and refinement of manufacturing and cryopreservation processes suitable for clinical use. Following its pre-IND interactions with FDA in late 2025 and early 2026, the Company continues to prepare for a future IND submission; however, there can be no assurance that FDA will accept any IND the Company may submit, that FDA will permit the Company to commence clinical trials on the Company’s anticipated timeline, if at all, or that any clinical trials, if initiated, will be successful.

 

From a technical perspective, PrimeGen’s growth strategy prioritizes generating data that demonstrate reproducibility and functional consistency of activated MSCs across manufacturing batches. Given historical variability observed in MSC clinical programs, the Company believes that establishing robust quality attributes — such as defined activation markers, cytokine secretion profiles, and in vitro functional assays — will be critical to regulatory and clinical acceptance. PrimeGen intends to design early clinical studies to evaluate safety, tolerability, and exploratory biological activity, recognizing that additional studies may be required to demonstrate efficacy.

 

The Company does not assume that successful preclinical results will translate into positive clinical outcomes and acknowledges that clinical development timelines are uncertain and subject to regulatory review.

 

Platform-Based Pipeline Expansion

 

Beyond its initial liver-focused program, PrimeGen is contemplating pursuing pipeline expansion by applying its MSC activation platform to additional indications characterized by immune dysregulation or inflammatory injury. Rather than pursuing broad, non-specific applications, this strategy, if pursued, would emphasize disease-specific optimization of activation protocols.

 

From a scientific standpoint, PrimeGen views MSCs as adaptable biological agents whose secretory and immunomodulatory behavior can be influenced by activation conditions. The Company intends to explore whether different activation profiles — such as varying cytokine exposure, timing, or culture conditions — may be better suited to specific disease contexts. For example, an activation protocol optimized for acute inflammatory liver injury may differ materially from one intended for graft-versus-host disease or acute organ injury.

 

Pipeline expansion decisions will be informed by preclinical mechanistic data, feasibility of manufacturing at scale, and regulatory considerations. PrimeGen does not intend to advance multiple indications simultaneously without sufficient resources and data to support parallel development.

 

Development of MSC-Derived Conditioned Media and Exosome Products

 

In parallel with therapeutic development, PrimeGen’s growth strategy includes the development of non-therapeutic commercial products derived from MSC conditioned media and exosomes. These efforts are intended to leverage the same underlying cell culture and activation processes used in therapeutic development, thereby maximizing return on scientific and manufacturing investment.

 

From a technical perspective, the Company is focused on standardizing the collection, purification, processing, and characterization of conditioned media and exosomes to ensure consistency and traceability. Purification is believed to be a critical process step that may influence the potency and composition of the final product. PrimeGen believes that controlled activation of MSCs combined with optimized purification methods may influence the composition of the secretome, potentially enabling more reproducible product profiles than unconditioned cell cultures.

 

236

 

 

Commercialization of these products will proceed cautiously and in compliance with applicable cosmetic and consumer product regulations. PrimeGen does not assume that scientific interest in MSC secretomes will translate directly into commercial success and recognizes that consumer acceptance, regulatory developments, and competitive dynamics will materially influence outcomes.

 

Strategic Partnerships and External Collaboration

 

PrimeGen’s growth strategy relies on strategic partnerships to augment internal capabilities and manage capital requirements. The Company intends to leverage collaborations with academic institutions, contract manufacturing organizations, and potential commercial partners rather than building all capabilities in-house.

 

From a development standpoint, partnerships with academic and clinical collaborators support access to disease models, technical expertise, and clinical insight. Manufacturing partnerships allow the Company to access established infrastructure for cell expansion, cryopreservation, and quality control without incurring the cost and risk of building proprietary large-scale facilities at an early stage.

 

Commercial and regional partnerships may also play a role in future growth, particularly for international markets or for non-therapeutic product distribution. PrimeGen evaluates partnership opportunities selectively and does not assume that suitable partners will be available on acceptable terms.

 

International Development and Regulatory Strategy

 

PrimeGen’s growth strategy contemplates international development pathways alongside U.S. regulatory engagement. The Company is monitoring regulatory frameworks in multiple jurisdictions, including Asia-Pacific markets, where regenerative medicine and cosmetic applications of cell-derived products have shown significant activity.

 

From a technical and regulatory perspective, PrimeGen believes that aligning early development with internationally recognized standards — such as consistent manufacturing controls, validated assays, and well-documented preclinical data — may facilitate future regulatory interactions across jurisdictions.

 

Ongoing Innovation and Knowledge Development

 

Sustained innovation is a core component of PrimeGen’s growth strategy. The Company intends to continue investing in research to refine its activation protocols, improve understanding of MSC secretome biology, and develop next-generation product concepts. This includes evaluating new culture conditions, activation stimuli, and analytical methods to better characterize MSC behavior and potency.

 

PrimeGen believes that continued scientific engagement — through internal research, publication, and participation in the broader regenerative medicine community — supports both technical advancement and credibility. However, innovation efforts require ongoing capital investment and may not result in commercially viable products.

 

Revenue Model

 

PrimeGen is a development-stage biotechnology company and has not generated material product revenue to date. The Company has incurred substantial net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and expects to continue to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will require substantial additional funding to continue operations, and if unable to raise capital when needed on acceptable terms, the Company could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate development programs, commercialization efforts or other operations. PrimeGen’s revenue model is forward-looking and depends on the successful development, regulatory approval, and commercialization of its product candidates. The Company does not expect to generate material revenue from its therapeutics for several years, if at all, and there can be no assurance that any product or therapeutics will achieve commercialization or profitability.

 

237

 

 

Therapeutic Product Revenue

 

PrimeGen’s primary long-term revenue opportunity is expected to derive from the commercialization of PGSXC-L1A, its lead and currently sole investigational MSC-based therapeutic product candidate, if approved by applicable regulatory agencies. If approved, PGSXC-L1A is intended to be marketed as biologics for use in hospital or specialty clinical settings and administered under physician supervision.

 

If regulatory approval is obtained, revenue is expected to be generated from the sale of treatment doses to hospitals, clinics, or healthcare systems. Pricing for cell-based therapies is typically influenced by development costs, manufacturing complexity, clinical benefit, and reimbursement considerations. MSC therapies, including comparable advanced biologics, are often priced at a premium relative to conventional pharmaceuticals due to their complexity and targeted use in severe conditions. However, any future pricing decisions will depend on regulatory labeling, competitive alternatives, reimbursement dynamics, healthcare system adoption, and other factors.

 

PrimeGen has not established a commercial sales infrastructure and may elect to commercialize PGSXC-L1A, its currently sole investigational therapeutic product candidate, through strategic partnerships or licensing arrangements rather than direct sales. There can be no assurance that PGSXC-L1A, or any future therapeutic product candidate, will receive regulatory approval, achieve reimbursement, or generate revenue.

 

Licensing, Collaboration, and Strategic Partnership Revenue

 

Another potential revenue source is licensing and collaboration arrangements with pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or regional partners. These arrangements could include upfront license payments, development and regulatory milestone payments, cost-sharing arrangements, and royalties on future product sales.

 

From a strategic perspective, PrimeGen views partnerships as a means to access capital, clinical development expertise, manufacturing infrastructure, and commercial capabilities without assuming full execution risk internally. Any such agreements would be negotiated on a case-by-case basis, and there is no assurance that PrimeGen will enter into any material licensing or collaboration arrangements or that such arrangements would be financially favorable.

 

Commercial Product Revenue (Conditioned Media and Exosomes)

 

PrimeGen also anticipates potential revenue from non-therapeutic commercial products derived from MSC conditioned media and exosomes, if and when such products are introduced to market. These products are intended for cosmetic or wellness use and would be marketed without therapeutic claims, subject to applicable regulatory frameworks.

 

Revenue from these products, if realized, would likely be generated through a combination of business-to-business sales (e.g., sales to distributors, aesthetic clinics, or formulation partners) and potentially direct-to-consumer channels. Compared to therapeutic products, cosmetic products generally have lower unit prices but may be sold in higher volumes. However, market acceptance, regulatory developments, manufacturing costs, and competitive dynamics will materially influence commercial outcomes.

 

238

 

 

PrimeGen recently launched non-therapeutic commercial products derived from MSC conditioned media and exosomes under the Étrive skin solutions brand for cosmetic or wellness use without therapeutic claims, subject to applicable regulatory frameworks. To date, the Company has generated limited revenue from these products. Revenue from these products is expected to be generated through a combination of business-to-business sales (e.g., sales to distributors, aesthetic clinics, or formulation partners) and potentially direct-to-consumer channels. Compared to therapeutic products, cosmetic products generally have lower unit prices but may be sold in higher volumes. However, market acceptance, regulatory developments, manufacturing costs, and competitive dynamics will materially influence commercial outcomes. PrimeGen does not assume that cosmetic or wellness products will generate significant revenue or offset the costs of therapeutic development. These products are viewed as complementary to, rather than substitutes for, the Company’s regulated therapeutic programs.

 

Customers and Suppliers

 

Customers

 

As PrimeGen has no commercial products, it does not currently have customers in the traditional sense. The Company’s anticipated customer base varies by product category.

 

For PGSXC-L1A, PrimeGen’s currently sole investigational therapeutic product candidate, the expected customers are hospitals, transplant centers, specialty clinics, and healthcare systems that treat patients with severe inflammatory or immune-mediated diseases. Purchasing decisions for such products are typically made by hospital formularies and clinical leadership, with input from physicians and reimbursement stakeholders. Patient demand, physician adoption, and payer coverage will all influence commercial uptake.

 

For non-therapeutic commercial products, anticipated customers include aesthetic clinics, dermatology practices, distributors, and end consumers, depending on the distribution model selected. These markets are often influenced by brand perception, perceived product quality, regulatory acceptance, and competitive positioning rather than clinical efficacy endpoints.

 

Suppliers and Key Inputs

 

PrimeGen relies on a number of suppliers and service providers critical to its operations and future commercialization.

 

Biological Source Materials.

 

The Company’s MSC products are derived from donated human umbilical cord tissue obtained through qualified tissue procurement organizations under informed consent. Donor screening and tissue handling are subject to applicable regulatory requirements, which may include infectious disease testing and traceability standards. Availability of compliant tissue sources is essential to maintaining consistent manufacturing inputs.

 

Cell Culture Reagents and Consumables.

 

PrimeGen depends on specialized cell culture media, cytokines, growth factors, and consumables required for MSC expansion and activation. Certain reagents, particularly GMP-grade cytokines and biologic components, are available from a limited number of qualified suppliers and may be subject to supply constraints, quality variability, or price fluctuations.

 

239

 

 

Manufacturing and Processing Services.

 

The Company relies on contract manufacturing organizations (“CMOs”) for aspects of MSC expansion, activation, cryopreservation, and storage. These CMOs must comply with current good manufacturing practice requirements and meet regulatory expectations for clinical-grade materials. Dependence on third-party manufacturers exposes PrimeGen to risks related to capacity availability, quality control, regulatory inspections, and operational disruptions.

 

Analytical and Quality Control Services

 

Product development and release depend on specialized analytical assays, including cell identity, potency, sterility, and stability testing. These services may be performed internally or by qualified third-party laboratories. Development of robust, reproducible assays is a critical technical requirement for regulatory advancement.

 

Logistics and Cold Chain Providers

 

Distribution of cell-based products requires specialized cold-chain logistics, including cryogenic storage and transport. PrimeGen relies on third-party logistics providers experienced in handling biological materials. Any disruption in these services could affect product integrity or clinical trial operations.

 

Supplier Dependency and Risk Management

 

At its current stage, PrimeGen may be dependent on single-source suppliers for certain materials or services. While the Company seeks to qualify alternative suppliers where feasible, switching suppliers for biological materials or GMP services can be time-consuming and subject to regulatory review. PrimeGen maintains supplier qualification and quality oversight processes but cannot eliminate supply chain risks entirely

 

Intellectual Property

 

Overview

 

PrimeGen’s ability to develop and commercialize its product candidates depends in substantial part on intellectual property (“IP”) licensed from PrimeGen Biotech, LLC (“PGB”), which licensed IP includes patents, patent applications, trade secrets, proprietary know-how, and trademarks. PGB is a related entity. While PGB and PrimeGen may share certain common ownership or control relationships, under the terms of the license agreement between the parties, PGB and PrimeGen are not treated as affiliates of one another.

 

In July 2025, PrimeGen assigned to PGB all of its right, title, and interest in certain patents and patent applications relating to methods and compositions for treating liver disease and MSC-derived exosomes pursuant to a patent and technology assignment agreement. The consideration for this assignment consisted of PGB entering into the PGB Patent License (as defined below) with PrimeGen, pursuant to which PrimeGen received back an exclusive license to the assigned intellectual property rights as described below.

 

PGB owns patents and patent applications relating to mesenchymal stem cell (“MSC”) activation methods, therapeutic uses of activated MSCs, and MSC-derived products. PrimeGen does not own these patents and patent applications, but instead licenses them from PGB under a patent license agreement entered into by and between PGB and PrimeGen on July 14, 2025 (the “PGB Patent License”) and a separate trademark license agreement entered into by and between PGB and PrimeGen on January 1, 2025, as amended by an Amendment No.1 dated December 31, 2025 (the “PGB Trademark License” and, together with the PGB Patent License, the “PGB IP Licenses”).

 

PGB Patent Categories

 

Under the PGB Patent License, PrimeGen has an exclusive worldwide license to use, develop, manufacture, and commercialize product candidates and services that are covered by certain patent rights, trade secrets, and/or proprietary know-how of PGB relating to MSC activation methods and processes, compositions and characterization of activated MSCs, therapeutic uses in inflammatory and immune-mediated conditions, certain aspects of MSC-derived conditioned media and extracellular vehicles (exosomes), and related manufacturing and formulation technologies. Generally, the MSC activation and exosome condition media technologies are licensed trade secrets and proprietary know-how from PGB with certain patents pending, rather than licensed patent rights.

 

240

 

 

The intellectual property licensed from PGB under the PGB Patent License generally fall into several categories listed below. Certain of the technology licensed are trade secrets and proprietary know-how and not patent rights.

 

MSC Activation Methods and Processes. The licensed intellectual property rights in this category are primarily trade secrets and proprietary know-how rather than patented technology. Although certain patents are pending regarding MSC activation, generally, the trade secrets and proprietary know-how relate to methods for pre-activating mesenchymal stem cells prior to administration, including methods of modulating MSC function through defined activation conditions, exposure to specific stimuli, culture parameters, and processing steps designed to enhance immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory activity.

 

Composition and Characterization of Activated MSCs. The licensed intellectual property in this category primarily includes trade secrets and proprietary know-how rather than patented technology. Although certain patents are pending, generally, the trade secrets and proprietary know-how relate to activated MSC populations characterized by defined functional or phenotypic properties, such as secretory profiles, surface marker expression, or functional activity associated with immune and inflammatory modulation.

 

Therapeutic Applications and Indications. The licensed intellectual property in this category primarily includes trade secrets and proprietary know-how rather than patented technology. Although certain patents are pending, generally, the trade secrets and proprietary know-how relate to the use of activated MSCs for specific disease indications, including inflammatory and immune-mediated conditions, which are designed to provide indication-specific protection.

 

Manufacturing and Formulation Technologies. The licensed intellectual property in this category includes certain patents and patent applications covering specific innovations related to MSC expansion, cryopreservation, formulation, and handling, including proprietary cryoprotective solutions, process optimizations, and formulation approaches intended to preserve cell viability and function. However, many of our manufacturing processes are protected as trade secrets rather than patents, as described below.

 

Trade Secrets and Proprietary Know-How

 

PGB has elected to protect certain technologies, such as manufacturing processes and other processes, as trade secrets to avoid public disclosure requirements associated with patent filings and to obtain protection of indefinite duration. However, our reliance on trade secrets of PGB to protect certain aspects of the technology we use carries risks, including that others may independently develop the same or similar technologies, that trade secrets may be difficult to protect, and that trade secrets may be disclosed or misappropriated.

 

These trade secrets and proprietary know-how include detailed activation protocols and process parameters, manufacturing and quality control procedures, analytical methods and internal assays, and unpublished preclinical data and development insights, all of which are or are contemplated to become PGB IP licensed to PrimeGen under the PGB Patent License. PrimeGen seeks to protect its licensed trade secrets through confidentiality agreements, invention assignment agreements, and internal access controls with employees, consultants, and collaborators. The field of MSC and regenerative medicine is highly competitive and characterized by a dense patent landscape.

  

Licensed Patent Portfolio

 

While the licensed intellectual property generally falls within the four technology categories described above, the licensed patent portfolio can be grouped into two principal categories: The first consists of a single patent family titled “Methods and Compositions for Treating Liver Disease,” which supports PGUS’s lead and currently sole product candidate, PGSXC-L1A, for acute alcoholic hepatitis. This family is comprised of counterpart patent applications, each claiming a common priority date of May 13, 2021, that have been filed in the United States, the European Patent Convention, China, Hong Kong, Australia, Canada, Japan and Singapore. These applications are directed to composition-of-matter and/or method-of-treatment claims. As of May 31, 2026, no patent in this family has been granted; the applications remain pending (and certain of them have published). Assuming the applications issue, the resulting patents are expected to expire on or about 2041–2042, generally 20 years from the earliest non-provisional or PCT filing date, subject to patent term adjustments, patent term extensions, maintenance requirements and applicable foreign law. The second category consists of other patent families directed to technologies that are not used in PGSXC-L1A, which PGUS may apply if it elects to pursue additional product candidates or which may be available for out-licensing. These patent families relate generally to germline and mesenchymal stem cell technologies, including adipose-derived stem cells, germline stem cell banking and maturation, gonad-derived stem cells, cryopreservation and the treatment of fibrosis, and include both issued patents and pending or national-phase patent applications in the United States, the European Patent Convention, China, Hong Kong, Mexico and Israel, with priority dates ranging from 2004 to 2020. Because these patent families have varying and substantially earlier priority dates, their expected patent terms vary by family and jurisdiction, and certain of the earliest-priority patents have already expired or are approaching expiration. None of these second category patent families is directed to PGUS’s lead product candidate.

 

Many of the patent applications licensed from PGB remain pending. There can be no assurance that any pending patent applications licensed from PGB will issue as patents, that any such patents will issue with claims of sufficient breadth to provide meaningful protection or commercial advantage, that any such patents will issue within a timeframe relevant to PrimeGen’s commercialization plans, or that any issued patents will not be challenged, narrowed, invalidated, or circumvented. The scope and strength of any issued patents will depend on examination outcomes, prior art cited during prosecution, and ultimate enforceability.

 

Material Terms of the PGB Patent License

 

In consideration for the rights granted under the PGB Patent License, PrimeGen is obligated to pay PGB royalties on net sales of licensed products and services, and may be required to make other payments as well. PrimeGen is also obligated to reimburse PGB for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with filing, prosecuting, and maintaining the licensed patents. PrimeGen is also subject to customary diligence, reporting, and record-keeping obligations. The PGB Patent License provides PGB with audit rights that permit PGB to review PrimeGen’s relevant books and records periodically in order to verify reported sales and royalty payments.

 

241

 

 

Under the PGB Patent License, PGB generally retains primary control over the filing, prosecution, maintenance, defense, and enforcement of the licensed patents, including decisions regarding whether and where to continue or abandon particular patent filings. PrimeGen has certain consultation or cooperation rights but does not have unilateral authority to direct all prosecution, maintenance, or enforcement activities. The PGB Patent License also addresses ownership and allocation of rights in future inventions and improvements. In general, PGB retains ownership of all improvements or related intellectual property arising from PrimeGen’s activities conducted under the license, with PrimeGen receiving rights to use such improvements only through the PGB Patent License. This limits PrimeGen’s ability to independently own, control, or transfer such improvements.

 

The PGB Patent License has a term that extends, on a country-by-country and product-by-product basis, until the later of (i) expiration of the last-to-expire valid patent claim in the licensed patents covering the relevant product or service in such country or (ii) ten (10) years after the first commercial sale of such licensed product in the territory, unless earlier terminated in accordance with its terms. PGB may terminate the PGB Patent License under specified circumstances, including for an uncured material breach by PrimeGen, certain insolvency-related events, challenges to the validity or enforceability of the licensed patents, or a change of control of PrimeGen. In addition, certain assignments of the agreement, certain changes of control of PrimeGen, or sublicensing arrangements may require PGB’s consent or may give rise to additional rights or obligations under the PGB Patent License. If the PGB Patent License is terminated or materially limited, PrimeGen may lose, or have reduced, rights to key patents covering its current and planned product candidates. The patents and patent applications licensed under the PGB Patent License have been filed in multiple jurisdictions, including the United States and selected international markets. If and when granted, patents generally have a term of 20 years from the earliest non-provisional filing date, subject to applicable extensions or adjustments. The effective commercial life of any patent protection will depend on the timing of product development, regulatory approval, and market entry. 

 

Royalties are payable during the term of the PGB Patent License. The PGB Patent License does not require any cash upfront or execution payment by PrimeGen. Under the agreement, once cumulative worldwide net sales of licensed products reach $5.0 million, PrimeGen is required to pay PGB a royalty equal to 1.5% of worldwide net sales of licensed products in excess of $5.0 million. Following the expiration of the last-to-expire licensed patent covering a licensed product in a particular country, the royalty rate applicable to net sales of such licensed product in that country is reduced by 50%. In addition, PrimeGen is required to pay PGB 10% of certain non-royalty consideration received by PrimeGen from sublicensees, including upfront payments, fixed or periodic fees, milestone payments and certain debt, equity or investment consideration, subject to the terms of the agreement. Royalties and sublicense revenue-sharing payments are payable within 30 days following the end of the calendar quarter in which such amounts become due. As of June 1, 2026, no royalties, sublicense revenue-sharing payments or other cash payments had been paid or received under the PGB Patent License. The agreement does not provide for any specified milestone payments payable by either party.

 

Risks Related to the Licensed Intellectual Property

 

PrimeGen is not currently a party to any material patent litigation and is not aware of any claims alleging infringement by its current activities. However, there can be no assurance that future third-party claims will not arise as PrimeGen’s programs advance or as competitors seek to enforce their intellectual property rights. Patent claims licensed from PGB may be challenged, narrowed, or invalidated through administrative or judicial proceedings. Competitors may develop alternative technologies that avoid infringement of PrimeGen’s licensed patents. Trade secrets may be lost through unauthorized disclosure or independent discovery by third parties. While PrimeGen believes the intellectual property licensed from PGB including proprietary know-how provide a foundation for its business, intellectual property rights alone may not prevent competition or ensure commercial success.

 

The patents licensed under the PGB Patent License are subject to a security interest granted by Stem Med in connection with a PGB Promissory Note pursuant to which PGB is the borrower. As of May 31, 2026, the outstanding principal amount under the PGB Promissory Note was approximately $17.46 million, accrued and unpaid interest was approximately $6.32 million and the aggregate amount outstanding was approximately $23.78 million. The PGB Promissory Note bears a simple interest rate of 10% per annum and is secured by liens and security interests in substantially all of PGB’s assets, including, without limitation, the intellectual property assets that are licensed to us under the PGB IP Licenses. PGB currently does not have sufficient available funds to repay such indebtedness when due. The PGB Promissory Note may be converted by Stem Med into PGB equity in accordance with its terms. The note originally required PGB to make a partial interest payment on December 31, 2025. PGB did not make such payment when due, and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest due as of December 31, 2025 was approximately $5.60 million. On June 12, 2026, PGB and Stem Med entered into a First Amendment and Limited Waiver pursuant to which Stem Med waived any event of default arising solely from PGB’s failure to make the December 31, 2025 interest payment and all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest remain due on December 31, 2026, the scheduled maturity date of the PGB Promissory Note, unless earlier accelerated, converted, prepaid with Stem Med’s consent, or otherwise due in accordance with the PGB Promissory Note. The First Amendment and Limited Waiver did not reduce the outstanding principal, forgive accrued interest, reduce the interest rate, release collateral, or otherwise impair Stem Med’s rights under the note or related security agreement. There can be no assurance that PGB will satisfy its obligations under the note when due or that future defaults will not occur. If PGB defaults under the note and such default is not waived, Stem Med may exercise remedies available under the note and related security documents, including remedies against the collateral securing this note.

 

In connection with the PGB Patent License, we, PGB and Stem Med entered into a Subordination and Non-Disturbance Agreement. Under that agreement, our rights under the PGB Patent License are subordinate to Stem Med’s security interest in the licensed intellectual property. However, Stem Med has agreed that, upon enforcement of its security interest, it will not terminate, diminish or interfere with our rights under the PGB Patent License, provided that the PGB Patent License remains in effect and we are not in material default under the license beyond any applicable notice and cure periods. In such circumstances, we would continue to operate under the PGB Patent License and would make any required payments to Stem Med or another successor licensor. Nevertheless, enforcement actions involving PGB’s assets, uncertainty regarding ownership of the licensed intellectual property, disputes concerning the scope or enforceability of our rights, or our failure to satisfy the conditions of the Non-Disturbance Agreement could adversely affect our business, operations and ability to commercialize products based on the licensed intellectual property. See “Risk Factors - Risks Related to Our Business and Industry - The intellectual property licensed to us by PGB is subject to a security interest securing PGB’s indebtedness to Stem Med, and PGB currently does not have sufficient available funds to repay such indebtedness when due. Any future enforcement of Stem Med’s rights as a secured lender could adversely affect our business.”

 

PGB Trademark License

 

Separately, under the PGB Trademark License, PGB licenses to PrimeGen certain trademarks and service marks, including marks incorporating the “PrimeGen” name, for use in connection with PrimeGen’s business. The “Étrive” trademark and potentially other trademarks the Company uses or intends to use in connection with its business, including its exosome-based cosmetic product lines, have not been registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or in any foreign jurisdiction, and trademark applications for these marks may not have been filed. The Company relies on PGB to own and license to it trademark rights in the Étrive mark and other marks under a trademark license agreement with PGB. If PGB is unable to obtain or maintain trademark protection for the Étrive mark, or if the trademark license from PGB is terminated, expires or is otherwise unavailable to the Company, the Company could be forced to rebrand its Étrive skin solutions product line.

Regulatory Environment

 

PrimeGen operates in a highly regulated environment, and its current and contemplated future activities are subject to extensive regulation by governmental authorities in the United States and internationally. These regulations govern the development, manufacture, testing, marketing, distribution, and post-market surveillance of biologic products, human cell-derived products, and consumer cosmetic products. Regulatory requirements materially affect the Company’s development timelines, costs, and ability to commercialize any product.

 

United States – Therapeutic Product Candidate

 

In the United States, PGSXC-L1A, PrimeGen’s currently sole investigational MSC-based therapeutic product candidate, is regulated by the FDA under the Public Health Service Act and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. PGSXC-L1A is classified as a human cell, tissue, and cellular and tissue-based product (“HCT/P”) that is more-than-minimally manipulated and intended for non-homologous use. As a result, it is regulated as biologic drug and requires premarket approval.

 

The U.S. regulatory pathway for PGSXC-L1A includes:

 

  ● Preclinical Studies. Laboratory and animal studies must be conducted to assess preliminary safety, biodistribution, and biological activity. These studies are required to support an IND application and are not predictive of clinical outcomes.
     
  ● IND Authorization. Before initiating clinical trials in the United States, PrimeGen must submit an IND to the FDA. The IND must include detailed information regarding product characterization, manufacturing and controls, preclinical data, and proposed clinical protocols. The FDA may place a clinical hold on an IND if it identifies safety concerns or deficiencies.
     
  ● Clinical Development. If an IND is authorized, clinical trials must be conducted in compliance with Good Clinical Practice requirements. Clinical development typically proceeds through Phase 1 (safety and tolerability), Phase 2 (dose exploration and preliminary efficacy), and Phase 3 (confirmatory trials). Cell-based therapies may require additional or modified trial designs depending on risk profile and regulatory feedback.
     
  ● Biologics License Application (“BLA”). To commercialize a therapeutic product, PrimeGen must obtain FDA approval of a BLA demonstrating that the product is safe, pure, and potent for its intended use. Approval is contingent on adequate and well-controlled clinical trials and compliance with current good manufacturing practice (“cGMP”) requirements. Manufacturing facilities are subject to FDA inspection.

 

PrimeGen’s currently sole and lead therapeutic product PGSXC-L1A is regulated by the FDA under Section 351 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act. Section 351 categorizes manipulated cell products as biological drugs, requiring stringent FDA premarket review and a Biologics License Application (BLA). PGSXC-L1A is also regulated under 21 CFR Part 312, and core Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) regulations including 21 CFR Part 50, Part 54, and Part 56, 21 CFR Part 210 and Part 211, and 21 CFR Part 600 and Part 610.

 

Before initiating clinical studies in the United States, a sponsor generally must complete preclinical laboratory and animal studies and submit an Investigational New Drug (IND) application to the FDA. Clinical testing may proceed only after the applicable FDA review period has elapsed without a clinical hold.

 

Phase 1 clinical trials are generally designed to evaluate safety, tolerability, dose levels, and potential side effects. In certain serious diseases with significant unmet medical need, first-in-human studies may be conducted directly in affected patients rather than healthy volunteers, which may also allow collection of preliminary efficacy observations.

 

Once safety is established in Phase 1, Phase 2 clinical trials are generally designed to further evaluate safety, identify appropriate dose levels and dosing regimens, and obtain preliminary evidence of efficacy. Phase 3 clinical trials are generally designed to provide substantial evidence of safety and efficacy in support of a BLA. Phase 3 typically involves a relatively large number of patients, and a blinded control, agreed upon with the FDA by or at the End-of-Phase 2 (EOP2) meeting. Successful completion of a Phase 3 trial may support submission of a Biologics License Application (BLA), although FDA approval depends on the totality of evidence regarding safety, efficacy, manufacturing, product quality, and facility compliance.

 

Post-marketing regulation includes routine and unannounced inspections of product manufacturing facilities and procedures, as well as submission of clinical/commercial data regarding patient safety and efficacy concerns. The FDA may impose clinical holds, require labeling changes, mandate post-marketing studies, suspend manufacturing activities, or take other enforcement actions if it identifies safety, quality, or regulatory compliance concerns. The FDA post-marketing regulation is covered by certain core pillars coordinated by the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER):

 

● Mandatory Adverse Event Reporting: Manufacturers must monitor, evaluate, and submit individual case safety reports (ICSRs) electronically. They must also submit periodic safety reports — Periodic Adverse Drug Experience Reports (PADER) — quarterly for the first three years post-approval, and annually thereafter.

 

● Postmarketing Requirements and Commitments (PMRs and PMCs): The FDA uses statutory authority to mandate that sponsors conduct formal post-market studies or clinical trials. These are designed to assess known serious risks, monitor safety signals, or evaluate long-term efficacy.

 

● Post-Approval Manufacturing and Quality Controls: Manufacturers must maintain strict compliance with Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP). They must submit supplements for any post-approval manufacturing scale-ups, protocol adjustments, or modifications to product release specifications based on real-world manufacturing data.

 

In the U.S., PrimeGen’s therapeutic product PGSXC-L1A, may be eligible for FDA special designations such as:

 

●Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy

 

○Meets the definition of a regenerative medicine therapy.
○Must treat, modify, reverse, or cure a serious life-threatening condition.
○Preliminary clinical evidence indicates that the therapy has the potential to address unmet medical needs for such disease or condition.
○Benefits are: early and frequent communications with FDA during development, rolling submission and review, priority review, early discussion of potential surrogate or intermediate clinical endpoints, and post-approval advantages if under accelerated approval.

 

●Priority Review

 

○Must treat a serious condition.
○Must provide a significant improvement in safety or effectiveness.
○Benefits are: shorter review of marketing application (6 months instead of 10 months).

 

●Accelerated Approval

 

○Must treat a serious condition.
○Provides a meaningful advantage over available therapies.
○Demonstrates an effect on a surrogate endpoint reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit.
○Benefits are: approval based on the effect on a surrogate endpoint or an intermediate clinical endpoint.

 

PrimeGen may seek RMAT designation and other expedited FDA programs, including Priority Review and Accelerated Approval, if and when its product candidate satisfies the applicable eligibility requirements and the Company determines that such programs are appropriate. However, there can be no assurance that any such designation or program will be granted, that PrimeGen will qualify for any such program, or that participation in any such program will materially accelerate development, review or approval of any product candidate.

 

United States – Cosmetic and Consumer Products

 

PrimeGen’s non-therapeutic commercial products derived from MSC conditioned media or exosomes are intended for cosmetic or wellness use only. In the United States, cosmetic products do not require premarket approval by the FDA, but they must be safe for their intended use and not be adulterated or misbranded. PrimeGen’s cosmetic and wellness products are subject to FDA oversight under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act (MoCRA), including facility registration, product listing, labeling, adverse event reporting, and other applicable requirements. If PrimeGen decides to make any structure/function claims regarding the topical product candidate(s), such as treating acne, restoring hair growth, or altering body tissue, the FDA may classify that candidate as both a cosmetic and a drug and it will be required to be registered through the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) using the electronic drug registration and listing system (eDRLS) to comply with Over-the-Counter (OTC) Monograph standards.

 

243

 

 

Importantly, the FDA has stated that products containing human cell-derived materials, including exosomes, may be regulated as drugs or biologics if they are intended to treat disease or affect the structure or function of the body. As a result, PrimeGen must carefully limit product claims and intended uses to cosmetic purposes, such as appearance-related benefits, and avoid therapeutic representations.

 

Regulatory interpretation in this area continues to evolve, and future guidance or enforcement actions could materially affect the Company’s ability to commercialize such products.

 

Manufacturing and Quality Regulations

 

PrimeGen’s currently sole therapeutic product PGSXC-L1A, must be manufactured in compliance with applicable cGMP and Good Tissue Practice requirements. These regulations govern donor eligibility, tissue procurement, manufacturing controls, documentation, testing, storage, and distribution. Compliance extends to both in-house activities and third-party contract manufacturing organizations.

 

Failure to comply with manufacturing requirements can result in regulatory enforcement actions, including clinical holds, product recalls, or refusal to approve marketing applications.

 

International Regulatory Environment

 

PrimeGen’s development and commercialization strategy contemplates potential activities outside the United States. The discussion below is intended to provide a general overview of certain regulatory frameworks that may be relevant if PrimeGen elects to pursue activities outside the United States in the future. PrimeGen has not determined the jurisdictions in which it may seek to commercialize its products outside the United States. Regulatory frameworks for cell-based therapies and cell-derived products vary by jurisdiction and are subject to change.

 

European Union

 

In the European Union, MSC-based therapies are regulated as Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (“ATMPs”) and require centralized approval by the European Medicines Agency. ATMPs are subject to extensive clinical, manufacturing, and post-authorization requirements.

 

Asia-Pacific Region

 

PrimeGen monitors regulatory frameworks in Asia-Pacific jurisdictions where regenerative medicine and cosmetic applications of cell-derived products are actively developing.

 

  ● Hong Kong has implemented a statutory framework regulating advanced therapy products as pharmaceutical products, requiring full product registration and manufacturer licensing.
     
  ● Taiwan has enacted a regenerative medicine regulatory regime that allows conditional approvals under defined circumstances, subject to post-market obligations.
     
  ● Singapore regulates cell, tissue, and gene therapy products under a risk-based framework requiring licensing, clinical trial authorization, and product registration.

 

Other jurisdictions, including Japan, South Korea, and Australia, have adopted specialized regulatory pathways for regenerative medicine products. While some of these frameworks may allow earlier or conditional market access, regulatory requirements remain substantial, and there can be no assurance that PrimeGen will pursue or succeed under any particular international pathway.

 

Regulatory Uncertainty and Compliance Risk

 

The regulatory landscape for MSC-based therapies, exosomes, and other cell-derived products is evolving. Regulatory authorities may issue new guidance, revise existing requirements, or change enforcement priorities in ways that could increase development costs, delay timelines, or limit commercialization opportunities.

 

PrimeGen’s regulatory strategy emphasizes early engagement with regulators, adherence to applicable standards, and conservative interpretation of regulatory requirements. Nevertheless, regulatory outcomes are uncertain, and approval or acceptance in one jurisdiction does not guarantee approval in another.

 

244

 

 

Employees

 

The Company’s employee base reflects its current stage of development as a preclinical biotechnology company focused on research, development, and regulatory preparation rather than commercial operations.

 

Workforce Composition

 

The majority of PrimeGen’s employees are engaged in research and development activities. These personnel include scientists and technical staff with experience in cell biology, immunology, regenerative medicine, process development, and analytical characterization. R&D employees are responsible for preclinical experimentation, MSC activation and expansion protocols, assay development, and quality-related activities supporting future regulatory submissions.

 

In addition to its scientific staff, PrimeGen employs a small number of management and administrative personnel responsible for executive leadership, operations, finance, business development, and corporate governance. Due to the Company’s size, employees often perform cross-functional roles.

 

PrimeGen also relies on external consultants and advisors in areas such as regulatory affairs, quality assurance, manufacturing oversight, clinical strategy, and legal and financial matters. This blended staffing model allows the Company to access specialized expertise while maintaining flexibility and managing costs. The Company does not currently maintain key person life insurance or other insurance policies on any of its executive officers or other key employees. The loss of services of one or more key individuals, including the Company’s senior management team members, due to death, disability, resignation, retirement or other reasons could significantly disrupt the Company’s operations, delay development programs, impair the ability to raise additional capital, and adversely affect the ability to execute the Company’s business strategy.

 

As of August 21, 2026, we had 10 full-time employees, comprising 1 in the Administration department, 1 in the Finance department, and 8 in the Research and Development department, all of whom are based in the United States.

 

Human Capital Strategy

 

PrimeGen’s human capital strategy emphasizes technical competence, regulatory awareness, and alignment with the Company’s scientific mission. Employees are selected based on relevant academic training, industry experience, and familiarity with regulated research environments. The Company believes that its ability to recruit and retain skilled personnel is critical to advancing its development programs.

 

Facilities

 

Our principal office is located at 2917 Daimler Street, Santa Ana, CA 92705, where we lease approximately 11,700 square feet of office space under a lease agreement with an independent third-party dated June 2024. This facility houses our principal research and development activities as well as our administrative and executive functions. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the current base rent for this facility is US$15,811.75 per month.

 

We believe that our current facility is adequate to meet our immediate needs and that suitable additional or substitute space will be available as needed to accommodate the future expansion of our operations.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we may be subject to various claims, lawsuits and other legal and administrative proceedings that may arise in the ordinary course of business. Some of these claims, lawsuits and other proceedings may range in complexity and result in substantial uncertainty; it is possible that they may result in damages, fines, penalties, non-monetary sanctions, or relief. We currently do not have any claims, lawsuits, or proceedings against us that, individually or in the aggregate, would be considered material to our business or likely to result in a material adverse effect on our future operating results, financial condition, or cash flows.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF PGUS

 

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of PrimeGen US, Inc. (for purposes of this section, “PGUS”, “we”, “us” and “our”) should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes of PGUS included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations, estimates and assumptions concerning events and financial trends that may affect our future operating results or financial position. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

 

Business

 

PrimeGen US, Inc. (the “Company” or “PGUS”), a Delaware company, was formed on January 15, 2019, and is a biotechnology development company, focused in the areas of research, development and marketing in the biomedical industry, with an emphasis on germicide research, adult stem-cell engineering and regenerative cellular replacement therapies. Its majority shareholder is PrimeGen Global, Inc. (“PGG”).

 

PGUS has negative working capital, negative cash flow from operations and has no assurance of future revenue. PGUS had accumulated net losses of $39,297,017 through June 30, 2026. PGUS’s current operations are funded by loans and the sale of stock. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan to continue as a going concern is to raise additional equity capital until it can obtain Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval and begin to market its technology.

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were $5,295,556, representing a $2,932,911 increase from $2,362,645 in the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily due to stock-based compensation expense of $3,314,199 included in general and administrative expenses in the 2026 period, compared to $1,1,365,637 in same period of 2025. Excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense during each period, general and administrative expenses in the 2026 period were $1,981,357 compared to $997,008 in the same period of 2025, representing an increase of $984,349. The increase in general and administrative expenses in 2026, after excluding the impact of stock-based compensation, primarily related to an increase in professional services including legal, audit and other fees relating to the Business Combination with DTCS. Other activities included in our general and administrative expenses include salaries and payroll-related expenses, fees paid to our Board of Directors, rent, utilities and other operating costs. We expect these expenses to continue after our Business Combination with DTCS.

 

Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were $1,710,173, representing a $169,912 increase from $1,540,261 in the same period of 2025. The increase was primarily due to due to a ramp-up of our pre-clinical trial and research activities related regenerative medicine therapies utilizing allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells (“MSCs”). Our research and development activities were substantially all related to MSC and MSC-derived products. We expect these expenses to continue after our Business Combination with DTCS, until such time we can obtain the necessary FDA approvals. To a lesser extent, the increase was also partially related to stock-based compensation expense of $116,837 included in research and development expenses in the 2026 period, compared to $83,780 in the same period of 2025. The following is a disaggregation of research and development expense.

 

   For the Six Months Ended June 30, 
   2026   2025 
         
Salaries and wages  $681,172   $572,874 
Stock based compensation   116,837    83,780 
Outside research contracts   709,466    591,640 
Supplies and other   202,697    291,968 
   $1,710,173   $1,540,261 

 

Interest expense – related parties for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $14,413 compared to the same period of 2025 due to additional borrowings from related parties during the fourth quarter of 2025 and the second quarter of 2026. There were no outstanding borrowings from related parties during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

 

Interest expense increased for the six months ended June 30, 2026 by $26,607 compared to the same period of 2025. Interest expense in the first six months of 2026 was the result of borrowings on a revolving line of credit with East West Bank. There was no interest-bearing debt outstanding during the first six months of 2025.

 

Year Ended December 31, 2025 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2024

General and administrative expenses for 2025 were $2,969,827, representing a $7,131,298 decrease from $10,101,125 in 2024. The decrease was primarily due to stock-based compensation expense of $8,839,937 included in general and administrative expenses in 2024, compared to $1,502,016 in 2025. Excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense during each period, general and administrative expenses in 2025 were $1,467,811 compared to $1,261,188 in 2024, representing an increase of $206,623. The increase in general and administrative expenses in 2025, after excluding the impact of stock-based compensation, primarily related to an increase in professional services including legal, audit and other fees relating to our planned merger with DT Cloud Star Acquisition Corporation(“DTCS”), who we entered into a Business Combination Agreement with in February 2026. Other activities included in our general and administrative expenses include salaries and payroll-related expenses, fees paid to our Board of Directors, rent, utilities and other operating costs. We expect these expenses to continue after our merger transaction with DTCS.

 

Research and development expenses for 2025 were $3,542,159, representing a $446,749 decrease from $3,988,908 in 2024. The decrease was primarily due to stock-based compensation expense of $2,982,147 included in research and development expenses in 2024, compared to $0 in 2025. Excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense during each period, research and development expenses in 2025 were $3,542,159 compared to $1,006,761 in 2024, representing an increase of $2,535,398. The increase in research and development expenses in 2025, after excluding the impact of stock-based compensation, was due to a ramp-up of our pre-clinical trial and research activities related to regenerative medicine therapies utilizing allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells (“MSCs”). Our research and development activities were substantially all related to MSC and MSC-derived products. We expect these expenses to continue after our merger transaction with DTCS, until such time we can obtain the necessary FDA approvals. The following is a disaggregation of research and development expenses.

 

   Years Ended December 31, 
   2025   2024 
         
Salaries and wages  $1,413,147   $620,467 
Stock based compensation   -    2,982,147 
Outside research contracts   1,695,960    185,121 
Supplies and other   433,051    201,173 
   $3,542,159   $3,988,908 

 

The Company had an impairment of an investment in 2025 of $250,000 resulting from the investee having a change in control leading management to conclude that the likelihood of the investment being recoverable was remote. There was no such event in 2024.

 

Interest income for 2025 decreased by $52,242 compared to 2024. The decrease was due to lower average cash balances on hand during 2025 as compared to 2024.

 

Interest expense and interest expense – related parties for 2025 decreased by $122,649 and $151,367, respectively, compared to 2024. During the fourth quarter of 2024, PGUS converted all its outstanding debt into shares of Class A common stock. There was no interest-bearing debt outstanding in 2025 other than a $300,000 note payable with a related party issued in November 2025.

 

Other income for 2025 decreased by $170,389 compared to 2024 due to certain accrued interest balances that were forgiven from the conversion of PGUS’s outstanding debt into shares of Class A common stock during the fourth quarter of 2024. There was no other income in 2025.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Since the inception of PGUS in 2019, its operations have been funded by loans, both from related parties and third-party investors, as well as through the sale of its common stock. In order to fund its future operations, the Company must continue to raise additional equity capital until it can obtain FDA approval and begin to market its technology. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $414,264, a working capital deficit of $1,737,742 and an accumulated deficit of $39,297,017. The Company had outstanding debt as of June 30, 2026 of $1.65 million related to its revolving line of credit with East West Bank, as well as $700,000 for promissory notes due to related parties, as described in further detail below.

 

We do not believe that our cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2026 will be sufficient to fund our current operations and anticipated research and development activities over the next 12 months. Our current cash on hand and credit facilities are expected to provide resources to continue through the fourth quarter of 2026. Accordingly, the Company will need to obtain additional financing, including through equity or debt financings, to fund its future operations until it is able to obtain regulatory approval and commercialize its product candidate, if achieved. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

On February 2, 2026, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement with DTCS. If consummated, the Business Combination may provide the Company with access to additional capital; however, the amount of cash available following the transaction will depend on a number of factors, including the level of shareholder redemptions and transaction expenses.

 

Debt

 

Effective January 5, 2026, the Company entered a promissory note with East West Bank, which includes a revolving line of credit providing for borrowings up to $2 million (the “Line of Credit”). Borrowings on the Line of Credit are collateralized by a certificate of deposit held by Sam Fong and Miranda Fong and bear interest at an index rate (the “Index”), which is equal to the interest rate on the certificate of deposit being held as collateral, plus 1.25%. The Index as of March 31, 2026 is equal to 3.918% per annum, resulting in an initial interest rate of 5.168% per annum. The Index will fluctuate to the extent the interest rate on the collateralized certificate of deposit changes. Any borrowings under the Line of Credit, including any accrued interest, are due in full on January 5, 2028. Monthly payments of any accrued interest outstanding are due beginning on February 5, 2026.

 

The outstanding balance on the Line of Credit as of March 31, 2026 amounted to $1,450,000. On May 1, 2026, the promissory note agreement was amended to increase the total borrowings under the Line of Credit from $2 million to $2.5 million.

 

On November 5, 2025, the Company entered into a promissory note with Rita Yuka Wong, a related party, for borrowings of $300,000, which bears interest at 8% per annum on a simple basis. Any outstanding borrowings are due on the earlier of September 30, 2026 or the closing date of the aforementioned merger transaction with DTCS. The promissory note had an outstanding balance of $300,000 as of June 30, 2026, along with an accrued interest balance of $15,013.

 

On June 12, 2026, the Company issued a promissory note for $400,000 to its Chief Financial Officer. The note bears interest at 12% per annum and matures on the earlier of December 31, 2026 or the closing date of the Business Combination with DTCS. The promissory note had an outstanding balance of $400,000 as of June 30, 2026, along with an accrued interest balance of $2,533.

 

Cash Flows

 

Cash Flows for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 and 2025

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $3,135,815, compared to $2,564,826 for the same period in 2025. The higher cash used in operating activities was primarily the result of the Company incurring a higher amount of operating expenses in 2026 as compared to the 2025 period relating to the merger transaction with DTCS.

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $45,000, compared to $40,695 for the same period in 2025. Net cash used in investing activities for both periods were the result of equipment purchased for the Company’s research and development activities.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months end June 30, 2026 was $2,679,470, compared to $300,000 during the same period in 2025. Net cash provided by financing activities in the 2026 period was primarily the result of $1.65 million of borrowing on the Line of Credit, $637,000 of proceeds from the sale of stock and net borrowings from related parties of $400,000. Net cash provided by financing activities in the 2025 period was the result of $300,000 of proceeds for the sale of stock.

 

Cash Flows for the Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

 

Net cash used in operating activities in 2025 was $4,889,667 compared to $1,891,076 in 2024, representing an increase of $2,998,591. The higher cash used in operating activities in 2025 was primarily the result of the Company incurring higher cash-paid operating expenses, representing the Company’s operating expenses for each period less any stock-based compensation or expenses paid with the issuance of stock. In 2025, the Company’s cash-paid operating expenses amounted to $4,917,361, consisting of general and administrative expenses of $1,375,202 and research and development expenses of $3,542,159. In 2024, the Company’s cash-paid operating expenses amounted to $2,267,949, consisting of general and administrative expenses of $1,261,188 and research and development expenses of $1,006,761. The increase in cash-paid operating expenses in 2025 was primarily due to the ramp-up of our MSC-related pre-clinical trial and research activities. We expect research and development expenditures to remain elevated as we continue preclinical studies, manufacturing development and IND-enabling activities. We also expect general and administrative expenses to increase following the Business Combination due to additional public company compliance, legal, accounting and insurance.

 

Net cash used in investing activities for 2025 was $382,841, compared to $78,556 for 2024. The increase in net cash used in investing activities is primarily due to higher capital expenditures in 2025 related to equipment acquired for research and development.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for 2025 was $2,228,118, compared to $4,880,000 during 2024. Net cash provided by financing activities in 2025 was primarily from $1,920,999 of proceeds from the sale of stock and $300,000 of proceeds from a note payable to a related party. Net cash provided by financing activities in 2024 was the result of $3,020,000 of proceeds for the sale of stock and $1,860,000 of proceeds from additional borrowing.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

As of June 30, 2026, PGUS had operating lease obligations totaling $365,288, of which $189,741 are due within the next twelve months. As of June 30, 2026, PGUS also had outstanding debt of $1.65 million related to its Line of Credit and an aggregate total of $700,000 of promissory notes due to related parties, both of which are discussed further in the Debt section above.

 

The Company entered into a sponsored research agreement (the “SRA”) with the University of Southern California (“USC”). Under the terms of the SRA, USC performed research in accordance with specific guidelines. The research activities were completed as of June 30, 2026. As of that date, the Company had an outstanding payable to USC of $693,323 for services performed under the SRA, which is included in accounts payable on the accompanying balance sheet. Other than the amount payable to USC, the Company has no further obligation under the SRA.

 

On July 14, 2025, PGUS, as licensee, entered into the PGB Patent License with PGB, as licensor. The PGB IP is substantial, and rights thereto are contemplated to have substantial benefit to PGUS. The PGB Patent License does not provide for a cash up-front or execution payment. Once cumulative worldwide net sales of licensed products equal $5.0 million, PGUS is required to pay PGB a royalty of 1.5% on worldwide net sales of licensed products in excess of $5.0 million. Following expiration of the last-to-expire patent within the licensed patents in a country, the royalty due on net sales in that country is reduced by 50%. PGUS is also required to pay PGB 10% of certain non-royalty consideration PGUS receives from sublicenses, including upfront payments, fixed or periodic fees, milestone fees and certain debt, equity or investment consideration, subject to the terms of the agreement. Royalties and sublicense revenue share payments are payable within 30 days after the end of the calendar quarter in which they become due.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the Unites States of America (“GAAP”). Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to our financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The preparation of the financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Estimates are based on information available through the date of the issuance of the financial statements; accordingly, actual results in future periods could differ from these estimates. Significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of financial statements apply to the following critical accounting policies:

 

Stock-Based Compensation – Stock-based compensation issued to employees and others is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. We measure the fair value of stock compensation using the Black-Scholes option model. Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. The fair value of stock compensation awards was estimated with a volatility figure derived from using the midpoint volatility of a range of peer group volatilities. We similarly account for the expected life of options using the midpoint of an expected range of grantee exercise terms. The risk-free interest rate was determined using the federal interest rate on the grant/measurement date and the expected life of options.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

DESCRIPTION OF PUBCO’S SECURITIES

 

The following summary sets forth the material terms of the Pubco’s securities as expected to be in effect upon the completion of the Business Combination. The following summary is not intended to be a complete summary of the rights and preferences of such securities, and is qualified by reference to the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, a form of which is attached as Annex C to this proxy statement/prospectus, the Proposed By-Laws, a form of which is attached as Annex D to this proxy statement/prospectus, and the Rights Agreement, which is filed an exhibit to the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part. We urge you to read the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, Proposed By-Laws, Certificate of Designation, and Rights Agreement in their entirety for a complete description of the rights and preferences of Pubco’s securities following the Business Combination.

 

Certain provisions of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, Proposed By-Laws and the Rights Agreement summarized below may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect and may delay or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock.

 

General

 

The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation will authorize the issuance of 1,500,000,000 shares, consisting of:

 

●800,000,000 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock, par value $0.00001 per share;
   
●200,000,000 shares of Pubco Class B Common Stock, par value $0.00001 per share; and
   
●500,000,000 shares of Pubco Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share.

 

Except as otherwise required by law or provided in the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation for any series of Pubco Preferred Stock), the holders of Pubco Common Stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of Pubco stockholders.

 

The number of authorized shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock, Pubco Class B Common Stock or Pubco Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the stock entitled to vote thereon, without a separate vote of the holders of Pubco Class A Common Stock, Pubco Class B Common Stock or Pubco Preferred Stock voting as a separate class, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL.

 

Common Stock

 

Voting rights. Except as otherwise provided by law or in the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, holders of Pubco Common Stock have the exclusive right to vote for the election and removal of directors and on all other matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Each holder of record of Pubco Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters on which stockholders are entitled to vote generally. Each holder of record of Pubco Class B Common Stock is entitled to ten (10) votes per share on all such matters. Holders of Pubco Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Except as required by applicable law, holders of Pubco Class A Common Stock and Pubco Class B Common Stock vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders generally.

 

249

 

 

Dividend rights. Subject to applicable law and the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of Pubco Preferred Stock, holders of shares of Pubco Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends and other distributions in cash, stock or property when, as and if declared by the Pubco Board out of assets legally available therefor. The payment of dividends, if any, will depend on Pubco’s financial condition, operating results, capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by the Pubco Board, and there can be no assurance that dividends will be declared.

 

Rights upon liquidation, dissolution and winding up. Subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding series of Pubco Preferred Stock, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Pubco, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of Pubco Common Stock are entitled to receive the remaining assets of Pubco available for distribution to stockholders, ratably in proportion to the number of shares of Pubco Common Stock held by them. A merger or consolidation of Pubco with or into another entity, or a sale, lease, exchange or conveyance of all or part of its assets, will not be deemed a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Pubco

 

Conversion of Class B Common Stock. Each share of Pubco Class B Common Stock is convertible into one share of Pubco Class A Common Stock at the option of the holder at any time. In addition, each share of Pubco Class B Common Stock will automatically convert into one share of Pubco Class A Common Stock upon the occurrence of certain transfers, subject to specified exceptions for permitted transferees, as set forth in the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation.

 

Each share of Pubco Class B Common Stock held by a natural person will also automatically convert into one share of Pubco Class A Common Stock upon the death or permanent incapacity of such holder, subject to the terms and conditions described in the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation. Upon any conversion, the converted shares of Pubco Class B Common Stock are retired and may not be reissued.

 

Other rights. Holders of Pubco Common Stock do not have preemptive, subscription, redemption or sinking fund rights. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of Pubco Common Stock are subject to those of the holders of any series of Pubco Preferred Stock that Pubco may issue in the future.

 

Preferred Stock

 

The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the Pubco Board to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of Pubco Preferred Stock in one or more series, without further action by the stockholders, except as required by law. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, no shares of Pubco Preferred Stock are issued or outstanding.

 

The Pubco Board has the authority to determine, with respect to each series of Pubco Preferred Stock, the number of shares constituting such series and the designation, voting powers, dividend rights, conversion or exchange rights, redemption privileges, liquidation preferences and other rights, powers, preferences and limitations applicable to such series.

The issuance of Pubco Preferred Stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of Pubco and could adversely affect the rights of holders of Pubco Common Stock, including by restricting dividends, diluting voting power or subordinating liquidation rights. As a result, the issuance of Pubco Preferred Stock could adversely affect the market price of the Pubco Common Stock.

 

The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation also provides that, without the prior approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Pubco Class B Common Stock voting as a separate class, Pubco may not issue any series of Pubco Preferred Stock (or other class or series of capital stock) that would confer disproportionate voting power or represent more than a specified percentage of the total voting power of the corporation, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation.

 

Lock-Up Arrangement. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, all holders of PGUS Common Stock, together with the Sponsor (collectively, the “Locked-Up Holders”), have agreed to enter into lock-up agreements pursuant to which they have agreed, subject to certain customary exceptions, not to offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock issued to them in connection with the Business Combination, including shares issuable upon the exercise or conversion of Pubco options, warrants or other convertible securities (the “Lock-Up Shares”), during the period commencing at the Closing and ending on the earlier of (i) 180 days following the Closing and (ii) the occurrence of certain specified events, including a change of control transaction (the “Lock-Up Period”).

 

250

 

 

The lock-up agreements provides for customary permitted transfers of the Lock-Up Shares, including transfers to affiliates or immediate family members and transfers by operation of law, in each case subject to the transferee agreeing to be bound by the applicable lock-up restrictions.

 

In addition, the shares will be released from these restrictions earlier if any of the following occur (a) Pubco’s stock trades at or above $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits and similar changes) for at least 20 trading days within any 30-trading-day period beginning no earlier than 90 days after the Closing Date; (b) Pubco undergoes a change in control, including a sale of substantially all assets, a transaction resulting in a new party acquiring majority voting power, or a merger or similar transaction after which the pre-transaction shareholders can no longer elect a majority of the board; or (c) Pubco completes, after Closing, a liquidation, merger, share exchange, or similar transaction that allows all shareholders to exchange their shares for cash, securities, or other property

 

Rights

 

As a result of and upon the effective time of the Redomestication, among other things, (a) each DTCS Unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Redomestication will be automatically separated into its component securities, consisting of one share of Pubco Class A Common Stock and one right, and (b) each DTCS Right issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Redomestication will be converted into one-ninth (1/9) of a share of Pubco Class A Common Stock.

 

Each right entitles the holder thereof to receive one-ninth (1/9) of one share of Pubco Class A Common Stock upon the consummation of the Business Combination. No additional consideration is required to be paid by holders in connection with the conversion of the rights. No fractional shares of Pubco Common Stock will be issued upon conversion of the rights, and any fractional share interest resulting from such conversion will be rounded down to the nearest whole share, with no cash paid in lieu thereof.

 

The rights will automatically convert into shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock upon the closing of the Business Combination and will not be exercisable. If the Business Combination is not consummated within the time period required by DTCS’s Existing Articles and Existing Memorandum, the rights will expire worthless and holders will not receive any consideration with respect thereto.

 

PGUS Warrants

 

As of March 31, 2026, there are outstanding PGUS Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 17,307,038 shares of PGUS Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.90 per share. Following the closing of the Business Combination, each whole PGUS Warrant will be cancelled and automatically converted into a warrant with equivalent terms and conditions to purchase shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock.

 

The PGUS Warrants have varying grant dates and expiration dates and may be subject to vesting conditions, termination-related exercise limitations, and other terms and conditions as set forth in the applicable warrant agreements. The PGUS Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis in accordance with their terms. Holders of PGUS Warrants do not have any rights or privileges of holders of Pubco Class A Common Stock, including voting rights, with respect to such warrants or the shares underlying such warrants unless and until such warrants are exercised. Upon issuance of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock upon exercise of the PGUS Warrants, holders will be entitled to one vote per share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders.

 

PGUS Options

 

As of March 31, 2026, there are outstanding PGUS Options to purchase an aggregate of 13,300,000 shares of PGUS Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.0197 per share. All of the PGUS Options are fully-vested and may be exercised in whole or in part. Following the closing of the Business Combination, each whole PGUS Option cancelled and automatically converted into a stock option with equivalent terms and conditions to purchase shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock.

 

Pubco Non-redemption Warrants

 

At the Effective Time, Pubco will issue Non-Redemption Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,931,900 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock to certain holders of DTCS Ordinary Shares who did not redeem their shares in connection with the Business Combination and to the Sponsor and its affiliates. The total number of warrants will be distributed on a pro rata basis among them in accordance with their respective ownership percentage of DTCS Ordinary Shares immediately prior to the Closing.

 

251

 

 

Each Non-Redemption Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one share of Pubco Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share, subject to adjustment. The Non-Redemption Warrants will become exercisable six months after the Closing and will expire on the date that is one year after the initial exercise date (or 18 months after the Closing, if earlier), unless earlier exercised or terminated in accordance with their terms.

 

The Non-Redemption Warrants may be exercised on a cash or cashless basis, subject to the conditions set forth in the warrant agreement. A cashless exercise will generally be permitted if there is no effective registration statement covering the resale of the shares underlying the Non-Redemption Warrants at the time of exercise. The number of shares issuable upon a cashless exercise will be determined based on the market price of Pubco Class A Common Stock at the time of exercise, as specified in the warrant agreement.

 

The Non-Redemption Warrants include customary anti-dilution protections in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and similar transactions. The Non-Redemption Warrants also contain provisions addressing fundamental transactions, including mergers and asset sales, pursuant to which holders may be entitled to receive alternative consideration.

 

Holders of Non-Redemption Warrants will not have any voting rights, dividend rights or other rights of holders of Pubco Class A Common Stock unless and until such warrants are exercised and the underlying shares are issued.

 

Certificate of Incorporation, the Proposed By-Laws and Certain Provisions of Delaware Law

 

Certain provisions of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, the Proposed By-Laws and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of Pubco that stockholders may otherwise consider to be in their best interests, including a transaction that might result in a premium over the market price of Pubco Class A Common Stock.

 

The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed By-Laws contain certain provisions that are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of the Pubco Board and that may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a future takeover or change in control of Pubco without the approval of Pubco Board.

 

These provisions include:

 

●Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock. The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of a substantial number of shares of Pubco Preferred Stock and Pubco Common Stock that are not currently outstanding. The Pubco Board is authorized, without further stockholder approval (except as required by law), to issue shares of Pubco Preferred Stock in one or more series and to determine the powers, preferences and rights of each such series. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of Pubco Preferred Stock and Pubco Common Stock may enable the Pubco Board to issue shares to persons friendly to the Pubco Board or to issue securities with rights senior to those of the Pubco Common Stock, which could have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of Pubco by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise.
   
●No Cumulative Voting. The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors. Accordingly, stockholders holding a majority of the voting power of Pubco’s outstanding capital stock entitled to vote generally will be able to elect all directors standing for election, which may discourage or prevent stockholders from electing minority representatives to the Pubco Board.
   
●Dual-Class Common Stock Structure. The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation provides for a dual-class common stock structure consisting of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. Each share of Pubco Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share, while each share of Pubco Class B Common Stock is entitled to ten (10) votes per share. As a result, holders of Pubco Class B Common Stock will generally be able to control matters submitted to a vote of Pubco’s stockholders, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions, even if such holders own less than a majority of Pubco’s outstanding Common Stock. This concentration of voting power may discourage or prevent a third party from pursuing a change in control transaction that is not supported by the holders of Pubco Class B Common Stock.

 

252

 

 

●Stockholder Action Only at Meetings; No Written Consent. The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation provides that, subject to the rights of holders of any series of Pubco Preferred Stock, any action required or permitted to be taken by Pubco’s stockholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not be effected by written consent. This requirement may delay or prevent stockholders from taking actions that could be favorable to a potential acquirer or from responding quickly to takeover proposals.
   
●Special Meetings of Stockholders. Under the Proposed By-Laws, special meetings of stockholders may be called only by the Pubco Board, the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer, and may not be called by stockholders. This limitation may delay or prevent stockholders from convening a special meeting to consider matters that could facilitate a change in control of Pubco.
   
●Advance Notice Procedures. The Proposed By-Laws establish advance notice procedures for stockholders seeking to bring business before an annual meeting or to nominate candidates for election to the Pubco Board. These procedures require stockholders to provide timely written notice containing specified information. Although these advance notice provisions do not give the Pubco Board the power to approve or disapprove stockholder nominations or proposals, they may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from soliciting proxies to elect its own slate of directors or from otherwise attempting to obtain control of Pubco.
   
●Board Authority to Fill Vacancies. Subject to the rights of holders of any series of Pubco Preferred Stock, vacancies on the Pubco Board, including vacancies resulting from an increase in the number of directors, may be filled solely by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, and not by stockholders. This provision may prevent stockholders from increasing the size of the Pubco Board and filling newly created directorships with their own nominees.

 

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

 

The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties, subject to certain exceptions. The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation includes provisions that eliminate the personal liability of directors and officers for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended from time to time. As a result, stockholders may be unable to recover monetary damages from directors or officers for certain breaches of fiduciary duty, including breaches resulting from negligent conduct. These exculpation provisions do not apply, however, to liability that cannot be eliminated under the DGCL, including, among other things, liability for acts or omissions not in good faith, knowing or intentional violations of law, liability arising from the authorization of unlawful dividends or stock repurchases or redemptions, or transactions from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit.

 

The Proposed By-Laws provide that Pubco will indemnify and advance expenses to its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. In addition, Pubco is authorized to maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance to provide coverage for directors, officers, employees and agents against certain liabilities. Pubco believes that these limitation of liability, indemnification and advancement provisions and insurance arrangements are necessary to attract and retain qualified and experienced directors and officers.

 

The limitation of liability, indemnification and advancement provisions in the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws may discourage stockholders from bringing derivative litigation against directors or officers, even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit Pubco and its stockholders. In addition, Pubco may be required to bear substantial costs in connection with indemnification obligations, settlements or judgments, which could adversely affect Pubco’s financial condition.

 

253

 

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to Pubco’s directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, Pubco has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

There is currently no pending material litigation or proceeding involving any of DTCS’s directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought.

 

Transfer Agent and Registrar

 

The Transfer Agent and registrar for the shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock will be [   ].

 

Listing

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, as a closing condition (subject to certain exceptions), DTCS is required to cause the Pubco Common Stock issued in connection with the Business Combination to be approved for listing on Nasdaq, but there can be no assurance that such listing condition will be met. If such listing condition is not met, the Business Combination will not be consummated unless the listing condition is waived by the parties to the Business Combination Agreement. Following the Closing, the Pubco Class A Common Stock is intended to be listed, subject to Nasdaq approval, under the proposed symbol “[   ]”. The parties currently do not intend to waive the listing condition if Pubco’s Nasdaq listing application is not approved. In the event that the Nasdaq application is not approved and the parties do mutually agree to waive this condition, no recirculation or resolicitation of DTCS shareholders will occur prior to the extraordinary general meeting. It is important for you to know that, at the time of our extraordinary general meeting, we may not have received from Nasdaq confirmation of the listing of the Pubco Class A Common Stock or that approval will be obtained prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, and it is possible that the listing condition to the consummation of the Business Combination may be waived by the parties to the Business Combination Agreement. As a result, you may be asked to vote to approve the Business Combination and the other proposals included in this proxy statement/prospectus without such confirmation, and, further, it is possible that such confirmation may never be received and the Business Combination could still be consummated if such condition is waived or is subject to an exception and therefore the Pubco securities would not be listed on any nationally recognized securities exchange.

These equity awards were issued as incentive compensation to attract, retain, and motivate key personnel and service providers. Only one of the stock option awards has been exercised to date, which was in April 2025 for the amount of 20,000 shares of Company Class A Common Stock.

 

Promissory Note Conversions (Class A Common Stock)

 


Between July 2023 and August 2024, the Company issued various convertible promissory notes.

Upon such conversion, approximately $3.6 million in indebtedness, in the aggregate, was converted to approximately 1,420,516 shares of Class A Common Stock, in the aggregate. The conversions were effected pursuant to the terms of the applicable note conversion agreements and eliminated a substantial portion of the Company’s short-term debt obligations.

 

254

 

 

Promissory Note Conversions – Stem Med Holder (Class A Common Stock)

 

On January 13, 2023, the Yuen Family Trust transferred its 83.4% ownership of PrimeGen Global, Inc. (“PGG”), together with its promissory notes (the “Yuen Family Trust/Stem Med” notes) to Stem Med Scientific Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”). Included in this transfer to Holdings was the note then-payable to the Yuen Family Trust with outstanding principal of $5,150,000, which after such transfer Holdings became the holder thereof. Also, on the same date of such note’s transfer to Holdings, PGUS’s now Co-Chief Executive Officer Mr. Daniel Chiu, as sole Manager of Holdings, transferred all equity and promissory notes described above to Stem Med Scientific, Inc. (“Stem Med”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings. Such note was subsequently amended and restated and thereafter converted into 5,722,222 shares of the PGUS’s Class A Common Stock at a conversion ratio of $0.90 on October 2, 2024.

 

Another promissory note included in the Yuen Family Trust/Stem Med notes, was a promissory note in the principal amount of $6,695,000 with PGG as borrower. Such note was included in this transfer to Holdings, which after such transfer, Holdings became the holder thereof. Also, on the same date of such note’s transfer to Holdings, PGUS’s now Co-Chief Executive Officer Mr. Daniel Chiu, as sole Manager of Holdings, transferred all equity and promissory notes described above to Stem Med. Such note was subsequently amended and restated after the transfer to Stem Med. Pursuant to such note, at the election of Stem Med as holder, such note could convert into shares of common stock of PGUS. Such note was subsequently converted into 7,438,888 shares of the PGUS’s Class A Common Stock at a conversion ratio of $0.90 on October 2, 2024.

 

Warrants

 

Between January 2025 and January 2026, the Company issued various warrants exercisable for an aggregate of approximately 17,327,038 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.90 per share. Certain of these warrants were issued as additional consideration to certain accredited investors. Certain other of these warrants were issued as compensation to directors, officers, employees, consultants, and advisors.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

 

DTCS Related Person Transactions

 

Founder Shares

 

On November 29, 2022, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,725,000 founder shares (“Founder Shares”) to the initial shareholders, so that the Sponsor collectively owned 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000.

 

On July 26, 2024, since the underwriter exercised the over-allotment in full, no Founder Shares are subject to forfeiture.

 

The Sponsor, officers and directors of the Company have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed (i) to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares, private placement shares and public shares in connection with the completion of the initial business combination, (ii) to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares, private placement shares and public shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of obligation to provide for the redemption of public shares in connection with an initial business combination or to redeem 100% of public shares if the Company have not consummated the initial business combination within the timeframe set forth therein or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity and (iii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their founder shares and private placement shares if the Company fail to complete the initial business combination within 15 months from the closing of this offering.

 

Administrative Services Agreement

 

DTCS entered into an agreement, commencing on July 26, 2024, through the earlier of consummation of the initial business combination and the liquidation, to pay the Sponsor $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support services.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred $120,000 and $50,000 for these services in total, included in General and administrative expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company paid administrative expense of $90,000 and $nil, respectively.

 

Related Party Loans

 

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s directors and officers may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $300,000 converted upon consummation of our business combination into private units at a price of $10.00 per unit.

 

As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the principal amount due under the Working Capital Loan was $nil.

 

Promissory Note — Related Party

 

On December 31, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000 (the “Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note is non-interest-bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2024 and (ii) the date on which the Company consummates an IPO or the date on which the Company determines not to conduct the IPO. This note has been repaid in full.

 

On October 28, 2024, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000 (the “Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note is non-interest-bearing and payable on the date which the Company consummates an initial business combination. On July 29, 2025, we entered into a Letter Agreement to the Working Capital Loan Note (the “Letter Agreement”) with the sponsor, pursuant to which we and the sponsor agreed to terminate the Working Capital Loan Note and confirmed that the outstanding amount that we borrowed under the Promissory Note was $nil.

 

On October 22, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to the Trust Agreement with Wilmington Trust National Association. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement (as so amended), the Company have the right to extend the time for us to complete our initial business combination for a period for 12 months from October 26, 2025 to October 26, 2026 by depositing into the trust account $75,000 for all remaining public shares for each one-month extension. On October 23, 2025, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $75,000 (the “Note”) to the sponsor, in exchange for its depositing such amount into the our trust account in order to extend the amount of time we have available to complete the business combination. The Note does not bear interest and matures upon the closing of our business combination. In addition, the Note may be converted by the holder into units identical to the units issued in our initial public offering at a price of $10.00 per unit. As of December 31, 2025, we have issued additional unsecured promissory notes to the sponsor in connection with subsequent one-month extensions, resulting in an aggregate principal amount of $150,000 deposited into the trust account for business combination extension purposes.

 

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the principal amount due and owing under the Promissory Note are $nil and $nil, respectively.

 

Due to Related Party

 

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, we had a temporary payable of $1,301,143.59 to the Sponsor, of which $75,000 may, at the option of the Sponsor, be converted into Private Units at $10 per unit at Closing, and the remaining $1,226,143.59 will be repaid in cash to the Sponsor by Pubco at or after the Closing. All such amounts would be repayable to the Sponsor if the Business Combination is not consummated. This temporary payable consists of $140,000 for management fees, $675,000 for extension fees and $486,143.59 for expenses paid on behalf of the Company.

Registration Rights Agreement

 

At the Closing, Pubco and the Sponsor will enter into the Registration Rights Agreement, providing for registration rights substantially similar to the registration rights granted to Sponsor in connection with the DTCS’s IPO, with the PGUS Stockholders identified in the Business Combination Agreement in the event that their Pro Rata Share of the Merger Consideration is not registered pursuant to the Registration Statement, which will cover all of the shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock that are issuable to the Sponsor upon exercise of the Non-Redemption Warrants issued to the Sponsor.

 

The number of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock covered by the Registration Rights Agreement will be at least [*], which amount is comprised of (i) [*] shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock (including shares converted from Pubco Class B Common Stock) held by certain principals and other stockholders of PGUS and (ii) 1,931,900 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock held by the Sponsor. In addition, depending on the number of Non-Redemption Warrants that will be issued to the Sponsor, an additional number of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock that are issuable to the Sponsor upon exercise of the Non-Redemption Warrants issued to the Sponsor will be covered by the Registration Rights Agreement (this number will be determined at the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting and will be a maximum of 1,931,900, which assumes 100% redemptions). All shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock that will be covered by the Registration Rights Agreement also will be subject to the Lock-up Agreements.

Company Support Agreement

 

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, the Significant Company Holders execute and deliver to DTCS a Company Support Agreement, pursuant to which each such Significant Company Holder agrees to, among other things, support and vote in favor of the Business Combination Agreement, and the transactions contemplated therein (including the Mergers). As of September 4, 2026, the PGUS Stockholders who are party to the Company Support Agreement collectively held approximately 92.58% of the outstanding capital stock of PGUS (consisting of PGUS Class A Common Stock and PGUS Class B Common Stock) and represented approximately 99.11% of the total voting power of PGUS. Following the effectiveness of this registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part, such stockholders are expected to execute a written consent approving the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

 

Insider Support Agreement

 

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor and any director of DTCS who holds DTCS Ordinary Shares enter into the Insider Support Agreement pursuant to which each Insider has agreed (i) not to transfer or redeem any DTCS Ordinary Shares held by it in accordance with the Insider Letter Agreements and (ii) to vote in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and the Mergers at the Parent Extraordinary General Meeting in accordance with the Insider Letter Agreements.

Stem Med Scientific, Inc.

 

Note Payable

 

On January 13, 2023, the Yuen Family Trust transferred its 83.4% ownership of PGG, together with its promissory notes (the “Yuen Family Trust/Stem Med” notes) to Stem Med Holdings, LLC (“Stem Med Holdings”). Included in this transfer was the note payable to the Yuen Family Trust with outstanding principal of $5,150,000, which was subsequently converted into 5,722,222 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock at a conversion ratio of $0.90 on October 2, 2024.

In the event the Company undertakes a qualified financing, defined as the sale of additional equity interest in the Company, or instruments convertible into such equity interests, in cash for an aggregate purchase price of at least $10,000,000, the outstanding amounts would be repaid as follows; 1) if qualified financing is between $10,000,000 and $14,999,999, then $1,000,000 is due at the closing of the transaction, 2) if qualified financing is between $15,000,000 and $20,000,000, then $2,000,000 is due at the closing of the transaction, and 3) if the qualified financing is over $20,000,000, then $3,000,000 plus 15% of the gross proceeds in excess of $20,000,000 is due at the closing of the transaction.

PrimeGen Biotech LLC

 

On March 18, 2019, the Company acquired lab machinery and equipment from PrimeGen Biotech LLC (“PGB”), a sister company to the Company’s majority stockholder PGG. Consideration was $278,806 in exchange for a promissory note. This note is non-interest bearing and due on demand. The outstanding balance of this promissory note amounted to $271,276 (unaudited) and $278,806 as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively

 

259

 

 

The Company paid certain expenses on behalf of PGB. Amounts receivable for these payments totaled $189,149 (unaudited), $189,149 and $195,873 at June 30, 2026, December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

 

Both the Company and PGB have agreed that all activity between them, including the promissory note, payments on behalf of PGB and advances from PGB will be settled net. The net balance due to PGB at June 30, 2026, December 31, 2025 and 2024 was 82,127 (unaudited), $89,657 and $82,932, respectively. This is included in the due to related parties account on the accompanying balance sheets.

 

On July 14, 2025, PGUS, as licensee, entered into the PGB Patent License with PGB, as licensor. The PGB IP is substantial, and rights thereto are contemplated to have substantial benefit to PGUS. The PGB Patent License does not provide for a cash up-front or execution payment. Once cumulative worldwide net sales of licensed products equal $5.0 million, PGUS is required to pay PGB a royalty of 1.5% on worldwide net sales of licensed products in excess of $5.0 million. Following expiration of the last-to-expire patent within the licensed patents in a country, the royalty due on net sales in that country is reduced by 50%. PGUS is also required to pay PGB 10% of certain non-royalty consideration PGUS receives from sublicenses, including upfront payments, fixed or periodic fees, milestone fees and certain debt, equity or investment consideration, subject to the terms of the agreement. Royalties and sublicense revenue share payments are payable within 30 days after the end of the calendar quarter in which they become due. As PGB is under common control with PGUS, the transfer of the assets was accounted for at historical cost. The transferred assets, consisting of patent applications and certain know-how, had a zero book value and, accordingly, the transfer had no accounting impact.

 

Office Lease

 

The Company leases office space from an entity controlled by the Yuen Family Trust, an indirect shareholder of the Company.

Narrative to Summary Compensation Table

 

Base Salaries

 

During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, our named executive officers did not receive traditional cash base salaries. Instead, they were compensated for their services through consulting fees paid by PGUS, as reflected in the “All Other Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table. These fees are intended to provide a fixed component of compensation reflecting the executive’s skill set and responsibilities in the absence of a formal employment agreement.

 

261

 

 

Annual Bonuses

 

While our named executive officers were eligible to earn annual discretionary bonuses based on the Board’s review of Company and individual performance, no such bonuses were awarded or paid for fiscal years 2025 or 2024. Accordingly, no amounts are reflected in the ‘Bonus’ column of the Summary Compensation Table.

 

Equity Compensation

 

In addition, we currently maintain the PGUS Equity Incentive Plan in order to provide our service providers the opportunity to acquire an equity interest in PGUS. Pursuant to the PGUS Equity Incentive Plan and award agreements thereunder, directors, officers, employees, consultants and other service providers may be granted PGUS Options and other equity-based awards. No equity awards were granted to the named executive officers during fiscal year 2025.

 

As discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus, in connection with the Business Combination, each PGUS Equity Incentive Plan that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically assumed by Pubco such that, as of the Effective Time, each share underlying each PGUS Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be canceled and automatically converted into an option to purchase shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock, with substantially equivalent terms and conditions, including with respect to vesting and exercisability; provided, that the assumption and adjustment of the unvested PGUS Options shall be completed in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Code Section 409A and, with respect to any PGUS Option intended to be an “incentive stock option,” Code Section 422 and the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder. It is expected that PGUS or Pubco may consider one-time additional equity awards in the discretion of the applicable Board of Directors to recognize extraordinary service in connection with the Business Combination. After Closing, Pubco is expected to grant equity awards in the discretion of the Pubco Board pursuant to the New Equity Incentive Plan.

 

The material terms of the PGUS Equity Incentive Plan are described below:

 

●Administration. The PGUS Equity Incentive Plan is administered by the PGUS Board or a committee or other persons designated by the PGUS Board (the “Administrator”). Subject to the terms of the PGUS Equity Incentive Plan, the Administrator has broad discretion to, among other things, select eligible participants, determine the timing, type, number and terms of awards, establish vesting and exercisability conditions, amend outstanding awards (subject to applicable limitations), accelerate vesting or exercisability, and interpret and construe the provisions of the PGUS Equity Incentive Plan and any award agreements thereunder.
   
●Eligible Participants. Eligible participants under the PGUS Equity Incentive Plan include employees, officers, directors and consultants of PGUS and its affiliates, as determined by the Administrator.
   
●Types of Awards. The PGUS Equity Incentive Plan provides for the grant of stock options (including incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock bonuses and other stock-based awards, each pursuant to the terms of the plan and an applicable award agreement.
   
●Shares Available for Issuance. An aggregate of 33,000,000 shares of PGUS Class A Common Stock are reserved for issuance under the plan, including shares issuable upon the exercise of incentive stock options. Shares subject to awards that are forfeited, cancelled or expire without being exercised generally become available for future grants under the plan.
   
●Stock Options; Termination of Service. The exercise price, vesting schedule, term and other conditions of stock options are determined by the Administrator and set forth in the applicable award agreement, subject to the terms of the PGUS Equity Incentive Plan. Except as otherwise provided in an award agreement, the treatment of vested and unvested options upon termination of employment or service is governed by the applicable award agreement, and unvested awards are generally forfeited.

 

262

 

 

●Adjustments; Change in Capitalization. In the event of a change in capitalization or similar corporate transaction, the Administrator is authorized to make equitable adjustments to the number and type of shares available under the PGUS Equity Incentive Plan and to outstanding awards. The Administrator may also provide for the cancellation of awards in exchange for cash or other consideration in connection with such events, subject to the terms of the plan.
   
●Amendment and Termination. The PGUS Board or the Administrator may amend, alter or terminate the PGUS Equity Incentive Plan, subject to stockholder approval where required by applicable law, and provided that no amendment may materially impair a participant’s rights under an outstanding award without the participant’s consent.

 

Other Elements of Compensation

 

Employee Benefits and Prerequisites

 

PGUS maintains certain employee benefit plans and compensation arrangements for its employees, officers and directors. PGUS maintains a 401(k) retirement plan for its U.S. employees through ADP, pursuant to which eligible employees may elect to make pre-tax contributions in accordance with applicable law. As the named executive officers of PGUS were compensated as consultants during 2025 and 2024, they did not participate in PGUS’s 401(k) or health and welfare benefit plans. PGUS does not provide any other perquisites or personal benefits to its named executive officers.

 

In addition, PGUS maintains a medical benefits program that provides eligible employees with access to certain medical, dental, vision, life insurance and long-term disability coverage. PGUS also provides paid vacation days and paid sick leave days to its employees in accordance with its policies.

 

PGUS does not maintain any other material employee benefit or perquisite arrangements for its executive officers beyond those described above.

 

Equity-Based Compensation Outside the PGUS Equity Incentive Plan

 

From time to time, PGUS has issued warrants to purchase shares of its common stock to certain individuals in connection with services rendered to PGUS. These warrants were not granted pursuant to the PGUS Equity Incentive Plan and were issued on terms set forth in the applicable warrant agreements.

 

Executive Compensation Arrangements

 

We have entered into arrangements with our named executive officers that generally provide for compensation in the form of consulting fees and eligibility for equity-based awards. As of December 31, 2025, none of our named executive officers were parties to formal employment agreements providing for fixed terms of employment or specified severance benefits. However, on January 16, 2026, the Company entered into a formal employment agreement with Mr. Daniel Chiu, as described below.

 

Daniel Chiu and Wai Sun Szeto During fiscal year 2025, Mr. Chiu and Mr. Szeto served as our Co-Chief Executive Officers. In lieu of a traditional salary, they received monthly consulting fees for their leadership and strategic services. For fiscal year 2025, Mr. Chiu and Mr. Szeto received aggregate consulting fees of $120,000 and $54,000, respectively. These arrangements are at-will and do not provide for specific termination payments or “golden parachute” benefits.

 

Dora E. Chan Ms. Chan was appointed as our Chief Financial Officer effective November 2025. In connection with her appointment, Ms. Chan receives a monthly consulting fee of $7,500. Ms. Chan did not receive any equity grants or bonus payments during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

 

John T. Chang Mr. Chang served as our Chief Financial Officer until his departure on September 30, 2025. During his period of service in 2025, Mr. Chang received $54,000 in consulting fees. In 2024, Mr. Chang was granted PGUS Options with a grant date fair value of $1,952,597, as reflected in the Summary Compensation Table.

 

263

 

 

On January 16, 2026, PGUS entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Chiu. Under the terms of the employment agreement, Mr. Chiu serves as Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chairman with an annual base salary of $420,000. He is also eligible to receive a discretionary annual bonus determined by the PGUS Board, one-time equity awards in the form of stock options at the Board’s discretion, and participation in standard benefit programs, including a 401(k) plan with employer matching up to 4%. His employment is at-will and does not provide for specific severance or change-in-control benefits.

 

Executive Compensation of Pubco Following the Business Combination

 

Pubco is currently developing an executive compensation program that is designed to align compensation with its business objectives and the creation of stockholder value, while enabling Pubco to attract, retain, incentivize and reward individuals who contribute to Pubco’s long-term success. Decisions on the executive compensation program will be made by Pubco’s compensation committee. In addition to the guidance provided by its compensation committee, Pubco may utilize the services of third parties from time to time in connection with the hiring and compensation awarded to executive employees.

 

Pubco intends to enter into an employment agreement with each of Mr. Daniel Chiu, [ ], and [ ] after Closing, but has not yet finalized the terms of such agreements.

 

New Equity Incentive Plan

 

Prior to the Closing, the DTCS Board will adopt the New Equity Incentive Plan, as described in this proxy statement/prospectus, subject to shareholder approval. The New Equity Incentive Plan will replace the PGUS Equity Incentive Plan and provide a means by which Pubco can issue equity incentives to employees (including our named executive officers), directors and other service providers, which is essential to our long-term success. For additional information about the New Equity Incentive Plan, please see “The Incentive Plan Proposal” in this proxy statement/prospectus.

 

Non-Employee Director Compensation Program

 

PGUS has not generally entered into formal arrangements under which non-employee directors receive cash compensation for their service on the PGUS Board or its committees. PGUS currently has a practice of granting awards under the PGUS Equity Incentive Plan to non-employee directors from time-to-time.

 

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, Pubco intends to develop a board of directors’ compensation program that is designed to align compensation with Pubco’s business objectives and the creation of shareholder value, while enabling Pubco to attract, retain, incentivize and reward directors who contribute to the long-term success of Pubco. It is anticipated that the compensation committee will determine the annual compensation to be paid to the members of the Pubco Board upon completion of the Business Combination.

 

264

 

 

MANAGEMENT OF PUBCO FOLLOWING THE BUSINESS COMBINATION

 

The Business Combination Agreement provides that the Pubco Board will initially be comprised of seven (7) directors. The following have been identified as director nominees: Daniel Chiu, [ ], [ ], [ ], [ ], [ ] and [   ].

 

The following table sets forth certain information, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, concerning the persons who are expected to serve as directors and officers following the completion of the Business Combination.

Corporate Governance

 

Composition of the Pubco Board

 

Our business and affairs will be managed under the direction of the Pubco Board. The Pubco Board is expected to be chaired by [   ] and include as members the individuals named above as director nominees. The Pubco Board is expected to determine that [   ] qualify as independent in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules. Subject to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed By-Laws, the number of directors will be fixed by the Pubco Board, and is expected to initially be fixed at seven (7) directors.

 

When considering whether directors and director nominees have the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills, taken as a whole, to enable the Pubco Board to satisfy its oversight responsibilities effectively in light of its business and structure, the Pubco Board expects to focus primarily on each person’s background and experience as reflected in the information discussed in each of the directors’ individual biographies set forth above in order to provide an appropriate mix of experience and skills relevant to the size and nature of its business.

 

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement and as set forth above, DTCS was granted rights to designate one director for election to the Pubco Board.

 

Director Independence

 

Under Pubco’s corporate governance guidelines and the Nasdaq rules, a director will not be independent unless the Pubco Board affirmatively determines that the director does not have a direct or indirect material relationship with Pubco or any of its subsidiaries. In addition, the director must not be precluded from qualifying as independent under the per se bars set forth by the Nasdaq rules.

 

The Pubco Board will undertake a review of its composition, the composition of its committees and the independence of directors and consider whether any director has a material relationship with Pubco that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, the Pubco Board is expected to determine that [   ], [   ], and [   ] of Pubco’s directors do not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of these directors qualifies as “independent” as that term is defined under the Nasdaq rules. In making these determinations, the Pubco Board will consider the relationships that each non-employee director has with Pubco, the transactions otherwise set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus, and all other facts and circumstances the Pubco Board deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the director’s beneficial ownership of Pubco Common Stock.

 

266

 

 

Committees of the Pubco Board

 

The Pubco Board will direct the management of its business and affairs, as provided by Delaware law, and conduct its business through meetings of the Pubco Board and standing committees. The Pubco Board will have a standing audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee, each of which will operate under a written charter and composed solely of independent directors.

 

In addition, from time to time, special committees may be established under the direction of the Pubco Board when the Pubco Board deems it necessary or advisable to address specific issues. Copies of Pubco’s committee charters will be posted on Pubco’s website, https://primegenus.com, as required by applicable SEC and Nasdaq rules. The information contained on, or that may be accessed through, DTCS’s, PGUS’s and Pubco’s website is not part of, and is not incorporated into, this proxy statement/prospectus or the registration statement of which it forms a part.

 

Audit Committee

Our audit committee is expected to consist of [   ], [   ] and [   ], with [   ] serving as chair. All members of our audit committee will meet the requirements for financial literacy under the applicable Nasdaq rules and regulations. The Pubco Board expects to affirmatively determine that each member of the audit committee qualifies as “independent” under Nasdaq’s additional standards applicable to audit committee members and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act applicable audit committee members. In addition, the Pubco Board expects to determine that [   ] qualify as an “audit committee financial expert”, as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K.

 

267

 

 

Compensation Committee

 

Pubco’s compensation committee will be responsible for, among other things:

 

●reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives with respect to the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, evaluating our Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of these goals and objectives and setting our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation;

Our compensation committee is expected to consist of [   ], [   ] and [   ], with [   ] serving as chair. The Pubco Board expects to determine that each of these directors qualify as “independent” under Nasdaq’s additional standards applicable to compensation committee members, and we expect that the Pubco Board or the compensation committee will meet the requirements of Section 16b-3 of the Exchange Act with respect to acquisitions from the issuer.

 

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

 

Pubco’s nominating and corporate governance committee will be responsible for, among other things:

 

●identifying individuals qualified to become members of the Pubco Board and ensure the Pubco Board has the requisite expertise and consists of persons with sufficiently diverse and independent backgrounds;
   
●recommending to the Pubco Board the persons to be nominated for election as directors and to each committee of the Pubco Board;
   
●developing and recommending to the Pubco Board corporate governance guidelines, and reviewing and recommending to the Pubco Board proposed changes to our corporate governance guidelines from time to time; and
   
●overseeing the annual evaluations of the Pubco Board, its committees and management.

 

Our nominating and corporate governance committee is expected to consist of [   ], [   ] and [   ], with [   ] serving as chair. The Pubco Board expects to determine that the members of our nominating and corporate governance committee qualify as “independent” under Nasdaq rules applicable to nominating and corporate governance committee members.

 

The nominating and corporate governance committee has not set specific minimum qualifications for director positions. Instead, the nominating and corporate governance committee will review nominations for election or re-election to the Pubco Board on the basis of a particular candidate’s merits and Pubco’s needs after taking into account the current composition of the Pubco Board. When evaluating candidates annually for nomination for election, the nominating and corporate governance committee will consider an individual’s skills, diversity, independence, experience in areas that address the needs of the Pubco Board and ability to devote adequate time to Pubco Board duties. The nominating and corporate governance committee does not specifically define diversity, but values diversity of experience, perspective, education, race, gender and national origin as part of its overall annual evaluation of director nominees for election or re-election. Whenever a new seat or a vacated seat on the Pubco Board is being filled, candidates that appear to best fit the needs of the Pubco Board and Pubco will be identified, interviewed and evaluated by the nominating and corporate governance committee. Candidates selected by the nominating and corporate governance committee will then be recommended to the full Pubco Board.

 

268

 

 

The Pubco Board may from time to time establish other committees.

 

Code of Ethics

 

In connection with Closing, Pubco will adopt a code of ethics that applies to all of our executive officers, directors and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions. The code of ethics will be available on our website at https://primegenus.com.

 

Pubco intends to make any legally required disclosures regarding amendments to, or waivers of, provisions of our code of ethics on our website rather than by filing a Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

 

No anticipated member of the compensation committee was at any time during fiscal year 2024, or at any other time, one of our officers or employees. None of our executive officers has served as a director or member of a compensation committee (or other committee serving an equivalent function) of any entity, one of whose executive officers served as a director of our board of directors or member of our compensation committee.

 

SECURITIES ACT RESTRICTIONS ON RESALE OF PUBCO’S SECURITIES

 

Pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) and subject to the requirements set forth under “- Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies” below, a Person who has beneficially owned restricted Pubco Class A Common Stock or Non-Redemption Warrants for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities, provided that (a) such Person is not deemed to have been an affiliate of Pubco at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and (b) Pubco is subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale and have filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the twelve months (or such shorter period as Pubco was required to file reports) preceding the sale.

 

Persons who have beneficially owned restricted Pubco Class A Common Stock or Non-Redemption Warrants for at least six months but who are affiliates of Pubco at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the volume limitations set forth in Rule 144.

 

Sales by affiliates of Pubco under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about Pubco.

 

Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies

 

Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company. However, Rule 144 also includes an important exception to this prohibition if all the following conditions are met:

 

●the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;
   
●the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

 

269

 

 

●the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding twelve months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and
   
●at least one (1) year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

 

We anticipate that following the Closing, Pubco will no longer be a shell company, and so, once the conditions set forth in the exceptions listed above are satisfied, Rule 144 will become available for the resale of the above noted restricted securities.

In the event that no annual meeting was held in the previous year or Pubco holds its annual meeting of stockholders more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after the one-year anniversary of a preceding year’s annual meeting, to be timely, notice of a stockholder proposal must be delivered not later than the 120th day prior to such annual meeting or, the 10th day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was first made. Nominations and proposals also must satisfy other requirements set forth in the Proposed By-Laws.

 

In the event the number of directors to be elected to the Pubco Board at the annual meeting is increased by the Pubco Board, and there is no public disclosure by Pubco naming the nominees for the additional directors at least 130 days prior to the first anniversary of the date on which the Company held the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders, a stockholder’s notice will be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for the additional directorships, if it is delivered to or mailed and received by Pubco’s secretary at Pubco’s principal executive offices not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such public disclosure is first made by Pubco.

A stockholder must update and supplement its notice to Pubco’s secretary, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice as described above will be true and correct as of the record date for notice of the annual meeting and as of the date that is 10 days prior to the annual meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement will be delivered to, or mailed and received by, Pubco’s secretary as promptly as practical.

 

Stockholder Director Nominees

 

The Proposed By-Laws will permit stockholders to nominate directors for election at an annual meeting or at a special meeting (but only if the election of directors is a matter specified in the notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the person calling such special meeting) of stockholders, subject to the provisions of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation.

In addition, the stockholder must give timely notice to Pubco’s secretary in accordance with the Proposed By-Laws, which, in general, require that the notice be received by Pubco’s secretary within the time periods described above under the section “- Stockholder Proposals”.

 

SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS

Each communication will be forwarded, depending on the subject matter, to the DTCS Board, the appropriate committee chairperson or all non-management directors. Because other appropriate avenues of communication exist for matters that are not of shareholder interest, such as general business complaints or employee grievances, communications that do not relate to matters of shareholder interest are not forwarded to the DTCS Board.

OTHER MATTERS

 

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the DTCS Board does not know of any matters that will be presented for consideration at the extraordinary general meeting other than as described in this proxy statement/prospectus. If any other matters properly come before the extraordinary general meeting, or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and are voted upon, the enclosed proxy will be deemed to confer discretionary authority on the individuals that it names as proxies to vote the shares represented by the proxy as to any of these matters.

 

EXPERTS

 

The financial statements of DT Cloud Star Acquisition Corporation, as for the period from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2025, included in this proxy statement/prospectus have been audited by EliteCPA P.C., independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, and are included in reliance on such report given on the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

 

On July 16, 2025, the audit committee of the DTCS Board approved the dismissal of UHY LLP (“UHY”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm with effect immediately. The reports of UHY on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and through July 16, 2025, there have been no “disagreements” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and related instructions) with UHY on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of UHY have caused UHY to make reference thereto in its reports on the consolidated financial statements for such years. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and through July 16, 2025, there have been no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

 

271

 

 

The consolidated financial statements of PGUS, Inc. as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and for each of the years then ended included in this proxy statement/prospectus and elsewhere in the registration statement have been audited by Rose, Snyder & Jacobs LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report thereon, which report expresses an unqualified opinion and includes an explanatory paragraph relating to PrimeGen US, Inc.’s ability to continue as a going concern as described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, and included in this proxy statement/prospectus in reliance upon such report and upon the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

 

DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS TO SHAREHOLDERS

 

Pursuant to the rules of the SEC, DTCS and services that it employs to deliver communications to its shareholders are permitted to deliver to two or more shareholders sharing the same address a single copy of this proxy statement/prospectus. Upon written or oral request, DTCS will deliver a separate copy of this proxy statement/prospectus to any shareholder at a shared address to which a single copy of each document was delivered and who wishes to receive separate copies of such document. Shareholders receiving multiple copies of such documents may likewise request that DTCS deliver single copies of such documents in the future. Shareholders receiving multiple copies of such documents may request that DTCS deliver single copies of such document in the future. Shareholders may notify DTCS of their requests by calling or writing DTCS at its principal executive offices at Office 51, 10th Floor, Hudson Yards, New York, NY 10001, or (718) 865-2000.

 

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITY

 

DTCS is a Cayman Islands exempted company. If DTCS does not change its jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to Delaware by effecting the Redomestication Merger, you may have difficulty serving legal process within the United States upon DTCS. You may also have difficulty enforcing, both in and outside the United States, judgments you may obtain in U.S. courts against DTCS in any action, including actions based upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal or state securities laws. Furthermore, there is doubt that the courts of the Cayman Islands would enter judgments in original actions brought in those courts predicated on U.S. federal or state securities laws. However, DTCS may be served with process in the United States with respect to actions against DTCS arising out of or in connection with violation of U.S. federal securities laws relating to offers and sales of DTCS’s securities by serving DTCS’s U.S. agent irrevocably appointed for that purpose.

DT CLOUD STAR ACQUISITION CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND

 

DT Cloud Star Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) is a blank check company. It was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on November 29, 2022, with the original name of Infinity Star Acquisition Corporation at inception. The name was changed to DT Cloud Star Acquisition Corporation on January 31, 2024. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination.

 

The Company is an early-stage company and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early-stage companies and emerging growth companies. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

 

The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.

 

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on July 24, 2024. On July 26, 2024, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 6,900,000 units (the “Public Units”), which includes 900,000 Public Units upon the full exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option, at $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of $69,000,000 to the Company. Each Public Unit consists of one ordinary share and one right (“Public Rights”). Each whole Public Right will entitle the holder to receive one-ninth (1/9) ordinary share upon consummation of initial business combination.

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 206,900 units (the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement to DT Cloud Star Management Limited (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $2,069,000 to the Company. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one Private Placement Share and one right (“Private Placement Right”). Each Private Placement Right will entitle the holder to receive one-ninth (1/9) ordinary share upon consummation of the initial business combination.

 

Transaction costs amounted to $2,175,819, consisting of $1,035,000 of underwriting commissions, $690,000 of deferred underwriting commissions and $450,819 of other offering costs.

 

Trust Account

 

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the aggregate amount of $69,000,000 ($10.00 per Public Unit) was held in a trust account (“Trust Account”) established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders and maintained by Wilmington Trust, acting as trustee. The fund will be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills, with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any, the funds in the Trust Account will not be released until the earliest of (i) the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to (A) modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its public shares if the Company does not complete its initial Business Combination within 15 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity and (iii) the redemption of all of the Company’s public shares if the Company is unable to complete its initial Business Combination within 15 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, subject to applicable law.

 

The balances in the Trust Account as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were $18,421,078 and $17,876,466, respectively.

DT CLOUD STAR ACQUISITION CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Business Combination

 

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and sale of the Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. Nasdaq rules provide that the Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (less any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned) at the time of the signing of an agreement to enter into a Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

 

The Company will provide its shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. In connection with an initial Business Combination, the Company may seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which shareholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against a Business Combination.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to 15% or more of the public shares without the Company’s prior written consent.

 

If a shareholder vote is not required and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, offer such redemption pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination.

 

The shareholders will be entitled to redeem their public shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $10.00 per public share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). The per-share amount to be distributed to shareholders who redeem their public shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriter (as discussed in Note 7). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s rights. The ordinary shares will be recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”

 

The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, offer such redemption pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC, and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination.

The Sponsor and any of the Company’s officers or directors that may hold Founder Shares (as described in Note 5) (as defined the “initial shareholders”) are identical to the ordinary shares included in the units being sold in this offering except that the founder shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below: the Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed (i) to waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares, private placement shares and public shares in connection with the completion of the initial business combination, (ii) to waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares, private placement shares and public shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of obligation to provide for the redemption of public shares in connection with an initial business combination or to redeem 100% of public shares if the Company have not consummated the initial business combination within the timeframe set forth therein or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity and (iii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their founder shares and private placement shares if the Company fail to complete the initial business combination within 15 months from the closing of this offering (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fail to complete the initial business combination within the prescribed time frame).

 

On October 22, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Trust Amendment”) to the Investment Management Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”), with Wilmington Trust National Association. Pursuant to the Trust Amendment, the Company has the right to extend the time for it to complete its Business Combination (the “Combination Period”) under the Trust Agreement for a period for 12 months from October 26, 2025 to October 26, 2026 by depositing into the Trust Account $75,000 for all remaining public shares (the “Extension Payment”) for each one-month extension. On October 23, 2025, the Company deposited the initial payment of $75,000 in the Trust Account, to initially extend the date by which the Company can complete an initial business combination by one month to November 26, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, the Company further extended the time to consummate our initial business combination to March 26, 2026.

 

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no 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 interest earned (net of taxes payable), 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 the remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company, subject in each case to its obligations to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of applicable law. The underwriters have agreed to waive its rights to the deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than $10.00.

 

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company, if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amounts in the Trust Account to below $10.00 per share (whether or not the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full), except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the “Proposed Public Offering” against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

 

On February 2, 2026, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “BCA”) with DTSQ Purchaser Inc., a Delaware corporation and our wholly owned subsidiary (“Purchaser”), DTSQ Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and our wholly owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), and PrimeGen US, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Target”). Pursuant to the BCA, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the BCA (the “Closing”), (i) the Company shall merge with and into the Purchaser (the “Redomestication Merger”), with Purchaser surviving the Redomestication Merger; and (ii) at least one business day subsequent to the consummation of the Redomestication Merger, Merger Sub shall merge with and into the Company (the “Acquisition Merger” and together with the Redomestication Merger, the “Mergers”), with the Target surviving the Acquisition Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”). As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the business combination contemplated by the BCA has not been consummated.

Pursuant to the BCA, (a) at the effective time of Redomestication Merger (the “Redomestication Merger Effective Time”), (i) all the issued and outstanding units of DT Cloud Star (the “Parent Units”) immediately prior to the Redomestication Merger Effective Time will separate into their individual components of the ordinary share of DT Cloud Star (the “Parent Ordinary Share”) and the rights of DT Cloud Star (the “Parent Rights”) and will cease separate existence and trading, and (ii) each issued and outstanding Parent Right immediately prior to the Redomestication Merger Effective Time shall be converted into one right of the Purchaser to receive one-ninth (1/9) of one share of Class A common stock of the Purchaser (the “Purchaser Class A Common Stock”); (b) at the Redomestication Merger Effective Time, each issued and outstanding Parent Ordinary Share, other than certain excluded shares and dissenting shares, immediately prior to the Redomestication Merger Effective Time shall be converted automatically into one share of Purchaser Class A Common Stock; and (c) at the Redomestication Merger Effective Time, Purchaser shall issue warrants to purchase a total of an additional 1,931,900 shares of Purchaser Class A Common Stock (the “Non-Redemption Warrants”) to (x) those DT Cloud Star public shareholders which, as of a time immediately prior to the Redomestication Merger Effective Time, have not tendered their Parent Ordinary Shares in the redemption and (y) all other holders of Parent Ordinary Shares immediately prior to the Redomestication Merger (including, without limitation, the sponsor, other insiders and holders of other Parent Ordinary Shares that are not public Parent Ordinary Shares) (each, an “Eligible Warrant Recipient”).

 

At the effective time of the Acquisition Merger (the “Acquisition Merger Effective Time”), Purchaser will issue to Company stockholders an aggregate number of Purchaser Class A Common Stock valued at the “Purchase Price,” calculated as (a) $1,489,800,000 less (b) adjustments for outstanding Company warrants (the “Company Warrant”) and Company stock options (the “Company Stock Option”) based on the redemption price less applicable exercise prices. Each share of Purchaser common stock (the “Purchaser Common Stock”) is valued at the redemption price. Each Company stockholder will receive its pro rata share of this “Merger Consideration,” with holders of Company Class A Common Stock (the “Company Class A Common Stock”) receiving Purchaser Class A Common Stock and holders of Company Class B common stock (the “Company Class B Common Stock”) receiving Purchaser Class B common stock (the “Purchaser Class B Common Stock”).

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

On July 26, 2024, we consummated the initial public offering of 6,900,000 Units, which includes the exercise in full by the underwriters of their over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 900,000 Units on July 25, 2024. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $69,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of our initial public offering on July 26, 2024, we consummated the private placement with the Sponsor of 206,900 private units at a price of $10.00 per private unit, generating total gross proceeds of $2,069,000.

 

Following our initial public offering and the private placement, a total of $69,000,000 of the net proceeds were deposited in the trust account. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the trust account (excluding deferred underwriting commissions and less taxes payable) to complete our initial business combination. We may withdraw interest from the trust account to pay our taxes. To the extent that our equity or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the trust account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies. We intend to use the funds held outside the trust account primarily for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, cash used in operating activities was $120, primarily due to the Company’s operating expenditures, which offset payments made by the sponsor during the period. As of June 30, 2026, we had cash at bank of $341.

 

On June 30, 2026, the Company had working capital deficit of $980,611, excluding deferred underwriting commissions and the available cash held in the Trust Account for marketable securities, which indicated a lack of liquidity it needed to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which was considered to be one year from the issuance of the financial statements.

 

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an initial business combination, our sponsor, officers, directors, or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete our initial business combination, we will repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts, but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such repayment.

 

On October 28, 2024, we issued an unsecured promissory note to the sponsor, pursuant to which we may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000 (the “Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note is non-interest-bearing and payable on the consummation of the initial business combination or converted upon consummation of the business combination into additional private units at a price of $10.00 per unit. On July 29, 2025, we entered into a Letter Agreement to the Working Capital Loan Note (the “Letter Agreement”) with the sponsor, pursuant to which we and the sponsor agreed to terminate the Working Capital Loan Note and confirmed that the outstanding amount that we borrowed under the Promissory Note was $nil.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

On February 2, 2026, we entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “BCA”) with PrimeGen US, Inc. and certain other parties, pursuant to which we intend to consummate our initial business combination through a series of merger transactions. Management believes that the consummation of the proposed business combination, if completed, would provide us with an operating business and additional capital resources. However, the completion of the proposed business combination is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and shareholder approval, and there can be no assurance that the transaction will be consummated. Accordingly, the matters described above do not alleviate the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Additionally, during the shareholder meeting, a total of 5,247,491 shares of common stock were tendered for redemption. This redemption of public shares resulted in a significant reduction in the number of outstanding public shares and has impacted the Company’s available liquidity. Management is actively managing the Company’s cash resources to ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet the minimum cash condition required to consummate the business combination.

 

The redemption of public shares, together with the extension of the business combination deadline, provides the Company with additional time to pursue suitable acquisition targets. However, the redemption activity has reduced the amount of cash available outside of the Trust Account, and any further redemptions could further impact the Company’s liquidity position and its ability to consummate the business combination. To support its ongoing liquidity needs and fund operating and transaction-related expenses, the Company plans to issue additional promissory notes to the Sponsor or its affiliates, subject to mutually agreed terms. The Company will continue to closely monitor its liquidity position and take appropriate actions to ensure that it maintains sufficient capital resources to complete the business combination.

 

Going Concern Consideration and Management Liquidity Plans

 

The Company initially had 15 months from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering to consummate the initial Business Combination. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within 15 months from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company will trigger an automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. As a result, this has the same effect as if the Company had formally gone through a voluntary liquidation procedure under the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands. Accordingly, no vote would be required from our shareholders to commence such a voluntary winding up, dissolution and liquidation.

 

On October 22, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Trust Amendment”) to the Investment Management Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”), with Wilmington Trust National Association. Pursuant to the Trust Amendment, the Company has the right to extend the time for it to complete its Business Combination (the “Combination Period”) under the Trust Agreement for a period for 12 months from October 26, 2025 to October 26, 2026 by depositing into the Trust Account $75,000 for all remaining public shares (the “Extension Payment”) for each one-month extension. On October 23, 2025, the Company deposited the initial payment of $75,000 in the Trust Account, to initially extend the date by which the Company can complete an initial business combination by one month to November 26, 2025. As of the date of this report, the Company further extended the time to consummate our initial business combination to July 26, 2026.

 

If the Company is unable to consummate the Company’s initial Business Combination by October 26, 2026 (unless further extended), the Company will, as promptly as possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the Company’s outstanding public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, including a pro rata portion of any interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not necessary to pay taxes, and then seek to liquidate and dissolve. However, the Company may not be able to distribute such amounts as a result of claims of creditors which may take priority over the claims of the Company’s public shareholders. In the event of dissolution and liquidation, the Company’s rights will expire and will be worthless.

 

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that if the Company is unsuccessful in consummating an initial business combination within the prescribed period of time from the closing of the IPO, the requirement that the Company cease all operations, redeem the public shares and thereafter liquidate and dissolve raises substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern. On October 28, 2024, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000 (the “Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note is non-interest-bearing and payable on the consummation of the initial business combination or converted upon consummation of the business combination into additional private units at a price of $10.00 per unit. On July 29, 2025, the Company entered into a letter agreement to the Promissory Note with the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company and the Sponsor agreed to terminate the Promissory Note and confirmed that the outstanding amount that the Company borrowed under the Promissory Note was nil. On October 23, 2025, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $75,000, in exchange for Sponsor depositing such amount into the Trust Account in order to extend the amount of time it has available to complete a Business Combination.

 

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management has determined that the Company has funds that are sufficient to fund the working capital needs of the Company until the consummation of an initial business combination or the winding up of the Company as stipulated in the Company’s amended and restated memorandum of association. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.

 

As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, the Company currently has a negative working capital, and projected expenses are beyond the cash available through the earlier of the consummation of the initial Business Combination or one year from the issuance date of this financial statements. There is no assurance that the Company’s plan to consummate a business combination will be successful. If a Business Combination is not consummated by the relevant period, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. As a result, there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainty.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

These accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements as of June 30, 2026, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the period ending December 31, 2026, or any future period.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that 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 Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s unaudited financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had $341 and $461 in cash as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

 

Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

 

The Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments held in Trust Account are included in interest earned and in unrealized gains on marketable securities held in Trust Account, in the accompanying statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in Trust Account are determined using available market information. The Company had $18,421,078 and $17,876,466 of marketable securities held in the Trust Account as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, interest earned in the Trust Account amounted to $161,596 and $319,612, of which $108,188 and $266,204 was reinvested in the Trust Account, $53,408  and $53,408 was recognized as unrealized gain on investments held in the Trust Account. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, interest earned in the Trust Account amounted to $742,159 and $1,479,865, of which $497,026 and $1,234,732 was reinvested in the Trust Account, $245,133 and $245,133 was recognized as unrealized gain on investments held in the Trust Account.

 

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

 

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A – “Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, and other costs incurred that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Upon completion of the Initial Public Offering, offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs allocated to the Rights were charged to the shareholders’ equity. Offering costs allocated to the ordinary shares were charged against the carrying value of ordinary shares subject to possible redemption upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

 

Ordinary Share Subject to Possible Redemption

 

The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2026, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.

 

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit if additional paid in capital equals to zero. The interest earned by the marketable security held in trust, and the extension fee invest into the marketable security held in trust, were also recognized in redemption value against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit immediately.

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their unaudited financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the unaudited financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of June 30, 2026  and December 31, 2025 . The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

 

The Company may be subject to potential examination by foreign taxing authorities in the area of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with foreign tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

 

The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the periods presented.

 

On August 16, 2022, the U.S. Government enacted legislation commonly referred to as the Inflation Reduction Act. The main provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act (the “IR Act”) that we anticipate may impact us is a 1% excise tax on share repurchases. Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Because there is possibility that the Company may acquire a U.S. domestic corporation or engage in a transaction in which a domestic corporation becomes parent or affiliate to the Company and the Company may become a “covered corporation” as a listed Company on Nasdaq. The management team has evaluated the IR Act as of June 30, 2026 and does not believe it would have a material effect on the Company, and will continue to evaluate its impact.

 

Net Income (Loss) per Share

 

The Company calculates net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed income (loss) allocable to both the redeemable ordinary shares and non-redeemable ordinary shares and the undistributed income (loss) is calculated using the total net income (loss) less any dividends paid. The Company then allocated the undistributed income (loss) ratably based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable ordinary shares. Any remeasurement of the accretion to the redemption value of the ordinary shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public stockholders.

The calculation of diluted income (loss) per ordinary shares does not consider the effect of the rights issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, and (ii) the private placement since the exercise of the rights are contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As of June 30, 2026 the Company did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share is the same as basic net income (loss) per ordinary share for the period presented.

Related Parties

 

Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature. Please refer to Note 8.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution. The Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, requiring public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses and other segment items on an interim and annual basis. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to apply the disclosure requirements in ASU 2023-07, as well as allexisting segment disclosuresand reconciliation requirements in ASC 280 on an interim and annual basis. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 during the year ended December 31, 2024. See Note 9 Segment and Geographic Information in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for further detail.

NOTE 3 –INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

 

On July 26, 2024, pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 6,900,000 Public Units, which includes 900,000 Public Units upon the full exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Public Unit. Each Unit will consist of one ordinary share and one Public Right. Each whole Public Right will entitle the holder to receive one-ninth (1/9) ordinary share upon consummation of initial business combination.

 

All of the 6,900,000 public shares sold as part of the Public Units in the Initial Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, or in connection with the Company’s liquidation. In accordance with the SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity.

 

The Company’s redeemable ordinary share is subject to SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company has elected to recognize the changes immediately. The accretion or remeasurement is treated as a deemed dividend (i.e., a reduction to retained earnings, or in absence of retained earnings, additional paid-in capital).

 

As of June 30, 2026, the ordinary shares reflected in the balance sheet are reconciled in the following table:

  

      
Gross proceeds from public shares  $69,000,000 
Less:     
Proceeds allocated to public rights   (6,900,000)
Allocation of offering costs related to ordinary shares   (1,958,237)

Plus:

Subsequent measurement of ordinary shares subject to possible redemption (additional funding for business combination extension)   375,000 
Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption (plus any interest earned in the Trust Account)   18,421,078 

 

NOTE 4 – PRIVATE PLACEMENT

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated a private placement of 206,900 Private Placement Units, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one Private Placement Share and one right (“Private Placement Right”). Each Private Placement Right will entitle the holder to receive one-ninth (1/9) ordinary share upon consummation of the initial business combination.

 

The Private Placement Units are identical to the Public Units sold in the Initial Public Offering except for certain registration rights and transfer restrictions.

NOTE 5 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Founder Shares

 

On November 29, 2022, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,725,000 founder shares (“Founder Shares”) to the initial shareholders, so that the Sponsor collectively owned 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000.

 

On July 26, 2024, since the underwriter exercised the over-allotment in full, no Founder Shares are subject to forfeiture.

 

Representative Shares

 

On July 26, 2024, the Company issued 69,000 ordinary shares of $0.0001 par value each to A.G.P/Alliance Global Partners (“A.G.P.”) (hereafter – the Representative Shares), at the closing of the IPO as part of representative compensation. The shares were accounted for as of July 26, 2024, and received by A.G.P.

 

Private Placement

 

On July 26, 2024, the Company consummated the sale of 206,900 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $2,069,000 to the Company.

 

Promissory Note — Related Party

 

On December 31, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000 (the “first Promissory Note”). The first Promissory Note is non-interest-bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2024 and (ii) the date on which the Company consummates an IPO or the date on which the Company determines not to conduct the IPO. The first Promissory Note terminated and paid back after consummation of IPO on July 29, 2024.

 

On October 28, 2024, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. The Promissory Note is non-interest-bearing and payable on the date which the Company consummates an initial business combination. On July 29, 2025, the Company entered into a letter agreement to the Promissory Note with the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company and the Sponsor agreed to terminate the Promissory Note and confirmed that the outstanding amount that the Company borrowed under the Promissory Note was nil.

 

On October 22, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to the Investment Management Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”), with Wilmington Trust National Association. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Company has the right to extend the time for us to complete our initial business combination for a period for 12 months from October 26, 2025 to October 26, 2026 by depositing into the trust account $75,000 for all remaining public shares for each one-month extension. On October 23, 2025, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $75,000 (the “Note”) to the sponsor, in exchange for its depositing such amount into the our trust account in order to extend the amount of time we have available to complete the business combination. The Note does not bear interest and matures upon the closing of our business combination. In addition, the Note may be converted by the holder into units identical to the units issued in our initial public offering at a price of $10.00 per unit. As of June 30, 2026, we have issued additional unsecured promissory notes to the sponsor in connection with subsequent one-month extensions, resulting in an aggregate principal amount of $375,000 deposited into the trust account for business combination extension purposes.

 

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the principal amount due and owing under the Promissory Note were nil, respectively.

 

Due to Related Party

 

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had a temporary advance of $1,001,114 and $384,050 from the Sponsor, respectively. The balance is unsecured, interest-free and has no fixed terms of repayment.

Administrative Services Arrangement

 

An affiliate of the Sponsor will agree that, commencing from the date that the Company’s securities are first listed on NASDAQ through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and its liquidation, to make available to the Company certain general and administrative services, including office space, administrative and support services, as the Company may require from time to time. The Company has agreed to pay the affiliate of the Sponsor $10,000 per month for these services commencing on the closing date of the initial public offering for 15 months. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company incurred $30,000 and $60,000 for these services in total, included in General and administrative expenses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company incurred $30,000 and $60,000 for these services in total, included in General and administrative expenses. During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we paid administrative expense of $nil and $90,000, respectively.

 

Working Capital Loans

 

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s directors and officers may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $300,000 converted upon consummation of our business combination into private units at a price of $10.00 per unit. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the principal amount due under the Working Capital Loan was nil.

 

NOTE 6 – SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

 

Ordinary shares

 

The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 ordinary shares, with a par value $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Company’s ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share.

 

As of June 30, 2026, there were 2,000,900 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, excluding 1,652,509 ordinary shares subject to possible redemption.

 

Rights — Each holder of a right will receive one-ninth (1/9) ordinary share upon consummation of a Business Combination, even if the holder of such right redeemed all shares held by it in connection with a Business Combination. No fractional shares will be issued upon exchange of the rights. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of rights in order to receive its additional shares upon consummation of a Business Combination as the consideration related thereto has been included in the Unit purchase price paid for by investors in the Initial Public Offering. If the Company enters into a definitive agreement for a Business Combination in which the Company will not be the surviving entity, the definitive agreement will provide for the holders of rights to receive the same per share consideration the holders of the ordinary shares will receive in the transaction on an as-converted into ordinary share basis and each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively convert its rights in order to receive 1/9 share underlying each right (without paying additional consideration). The shares issuable upon exchange of the rights will be freely tradable (except to the extent held by affiliates of the Company).

NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Registration Rights

 

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on July 26, 2024, the holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Units (including securities contained therein), and units (including securities contained therein) that may be issued on conversion of working capital loans or extension loans  are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on the effective date of this offering requiring the Company to register such securities for resale. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company’s register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Company completion of initial business combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

 

Underwriter Agreement

 

The underwriters are entitled to aggregate 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO and the Over-Allotment Option, including:

 

The underwriters are entitled to a cash underwriting discount of 1.5% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, upon the consummation of IPO.

 

As of July 26, 2024, the Company paid a cash underwriting commission of 1.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $1,035,000.

The underwriters are entitled to a cash underwriting discount of 1.0% of the gross proceeds of the of the Initial Public Offering, which will be deferred and payable until the closing of the initial Business Combination, without accrued interest.

 

NOTE 8– FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

 

“Fair value” is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

 

  ● Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
     
  ● Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
     
  ● Level 3 - Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Note 9 – Segment reporting

 

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, and for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.

 

The Company’s CODM has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, who review the assets, operating results, and financial metrics for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that there is only one reportable segment.

 

The CODM assesses performance for the single segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income (loss) that also is reported on the statement of operations as net income (loss). The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets.

 

   2026   2025 
   For the six months ended 
   June 30, 
   2026   2025 
Operating expenses:          
Formation and operating costs  $(334,383)  $(163,570)
General and administrative expenses   (60,000)   (60,000)
Loss from operations   (394,383)   (223,570)
           
Other income:          
Interest from operating account   17    5,487 
Interest earned in Trust Account   266,204    1,234,732

Total other income   319,629    1,485,352 
           
Net (Loss) Income  $(74,754)  $1,261,782 

 

The key measures of segment profit or loss reviewed by the CODM are formation and operational costs. Formation and operational costs are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete the Business Combination within the Combination Period. The CODM also reviews formation and operational costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget. Formation and operational costs, as reported on the statement of operations, are the significant segment expenses provided to the CODM on a regular basis.

 

All other segment items included in net income are reported on the consolidated statement of operations and described within their respective disclosures.

 

Note 10 – Subsequent Events

 

 

Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. On July 27, 2026, the Company received notification from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that its application to transfer the listing of its ordinary shares, units and rights from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market had been approved, effective as of the opening of trading on July 29, 2026. As a result of this transfer, the Company’s securities remain listed on Nasdaq and are subject to the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market. The trading symbols for the Company’s securities remain unchanged as “DTSQ,” “DTSQU” and “DTSQR.” In accordance with ASC 855, Subsequent Events, management has determined that this listing transfer constitutes a non-financial subsequent event that does not require adjustment to the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, as it pertains to the listing tier of the Company’s securities rather than to the financial position or results of operations as of that date. However, disclosure of this event is provided to inform readers of the Company’s current capital markets status. No other subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of DT Cloud Star Acquisition Corporation

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of DT Cloud Star Acquisition Corporation(the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related statement of operations, changes in shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2025, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company does not have sufficient cash to sustain its operations and has no revenue, its business plan is dependent on the completion of a business combination on or before October 26, 2026, which is less than one year from the issuance date of the financial statements. If a business combination is not consummated by this date or an extension is not obtained, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND

 

DT Cloud Star Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) is a blank check company. It was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on November 29, 2022, with the original name of Infinity Star Acquisition Corporation at inception. The name was changed to DT Cloud Star Acquisition Corporation on January 31, 2024. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination.

 

The Company is an early-stage company and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early-stage companies and emerging growth companies. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

 

The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.

 

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on July 24, 2024. On July 26, 2024, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 6,900,000 units (the “Public Units”), which includes 900,000 Public Units upon the full exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option, at $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of $69,000,000 to the Company. Each Public Unit consists of one ordinary share and one right (“Public Rights”). Each whole Public Right will entitle the holder to receive one-ninth (1/9) ordinary share upon consummation of initial business combination.

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 206,900 units (the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement to DT Cloud Star Management Limited (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $2,069,000 to the Company. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one Private Placement Share and one right (“Private Placement Right”). Each Private Placement Right will entitle the holder to receive one-ninth (1/9) ordinary share upon consummation of the initial business combination.

 

Transaction costs amounted to $2,175,819, consisting of $1,035,000 of underwriting commissions, $690,000 of deferred underwriting commissions and $450,819 of other offering costs.

 

Trust Account

 

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the aggregate amount of $69,000,000 ($10.00 per Public Unit) was held in a trust account (“Trust Account”) established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders and maintained by Wilmington Trust, acting as trustee. The fund will be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills, with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any, the funds in the Trust Account will not be released until the earliest of (i) the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to (A) modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its public shares if the Company does not complete its initial Business Combination within 15 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity and (iii) the redemption of all of the Company’s public shares if the Company is unable to complete its initial Business Combination within 15 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, subject to applicable law.

 

Interest income is recognized for earnings generated from all debt instruments in trust including U.S. Treasury money market funds, treasury bills and cash deposits irrespective of custodian’s description of periodic distribution as dividend. Dividend income is only recognized upon cash distribution declared on equity instruments, equity ETF and REITs. Interest and dividend derived from trust investments shall be separately disclosed either on Statement of Operations or accompanying footnotes per Regulation S-X Rule 5-03.

 

On October 22, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to the Investment Management Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”), with Wilmington Trust National Association. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Company have the right to extend the time for us to complete our initial business combination for a period for 12 months from October 26, 2025 to October 26, 2026 by depositing into the trust account $75,000 for all remaining public shares for each one-month extension. On October 23, 2025, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $75,000 (the “Note”) to the sponsor, in exchange for its depositing such amount into the our trust account in order to extend the amount of time the Company have available to complete the business combination. The Note does not bear interest and matures upon the closing of our business combination. In addition, the Note may be converted by the holder into units identical to the units issued in our initial public offering at a price of $10.00 per unit.

 

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has $17,876,466 and $70,456,287 marketable securities held in the Trust Account, respectively.

Business Combination

 

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and sale of the Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. Nasdaq rules provide that the Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (less any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned) at the time of the signing of an agreement to enter into a Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

 

The Company will provide its shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. In connection with an initial Business Combination, the Company may seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which shareholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against a Business Combination.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to 15% or more of the public shares without the Company’s prior written consent.

 

If a shareholder vote is not required and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, offer such redemption pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination.

 

The shareholders will be entitled to redeem their public shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $10.00 per public share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). The per-share amount to be distributed to shareholders who redeem their public shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriter (as discussed in Note 7). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s rights. The ordinary shares will be recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”

 

The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, offer such redemption pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC, and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination.

The Sponsor and any of the Company’s officers or directors that may hold Founder Shares (as described in Note 5) (as defined the “initial shareholders”) are identical to the ordinary shares included in the units being sold in this offering except that the founder shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below: the sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed (i) to waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares, private placement shares and public shares in connection with the completion of the initial business combination, (ii) to waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares, private placement shares and public shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of obligation to provide for the redemption of public shares in connection with an initial business combination or to redeem 100% of public shares if the Company have not consummated the initial business combination within the timeframe set forth therein or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity and (iii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their founder shares and private placement shares if the Company fail to complete the initial business combination within 15 months from the closing of this offering (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fail to complete the initial business combination within the prescribed time frame).

 

Subsequent to December 31, 2025, on February 2, 2026, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “BCA”) with PrimeGen US, Inc. and certain other parties, pursuant to which the Company intends to consummate its initial business combination. The consummation of the proposed business combination is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including, among others, approval by the Company’s shareholders. As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the business combination contemplated by the BCA has not been consummated.

 

We initially have 15 months from the closing of our initial public offering to consummate our initial business combination. On October 22, 2025, we entered into an amendment to the Investment Management Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”), with Wilmington Trust National Association. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, we have the right to extend the time for us to complete our initial business combination for a period for 12 months from October 26, 2025 to October 26, 2026 by depositing into the trust account $75,000 for all remaining public shares for each one-month extension.

 

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no 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 interest earned (net of taxes payable), 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 the remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company, subject in each case to its obligations to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of applicable law. The underwriters have agreed to waive its rights to the deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than $10.00.

 

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company, if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amounts in the Trust Account to below $10.00 per share (whether or not the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full), except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the “Proposed Public Offering” against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

 

Business Combination Costs

 

In connection with the proposed business combination, management has estimated the costs related to the transaction, which include legal, accounting, advisory, and other professional fees. These costs are expensed as incurred and are subject to change depending on the final structure of the business combination and the parties involved. The Company has not yet finalized the total amount of transaction costs, which will be reflected in the financial statements upon the consummation of the business combination.

Going Concern Considerations and Management Liquidity Plans

 

The Company have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our acquisition plans. The Company initially have 15 months from the closing of our initial public offering to consummate our initial business combination. On October 22, 2025, we entered into an amendment to the Investment Management Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”), with Wilmington Trust National Association. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Company have the right to extend the time for us to complete our initial business combination for a period for 12 months from October 26, 2025 to October 26, 2026 by depositing into the trust account $75,000 for all remaining public shares for each one-month extension. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within 15 months from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company will trigger an automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. As a result, this has the same effect as if the Company had formally gone through a voluntary liquidation procedure under the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands. Accordingly, no vote would be required from our shareholders to commence such a voluntary winding up, dissolution and liquidation. However, the Company may extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination. If the Company is unable to consummate the Company’s initial Business Combination by October 26, 2026 (unless further extended), the Company will, as promptly as possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the Company’s outstanding public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, including a pro rata portion of any interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not necessary to pay taxes, and then seek to liquidate and dissolve. However, the Company may not be able to distribute such amounts as a result of claims of creditors which may take priority over the claims of the Company’s public shareholders. In the event of dissolution and liquidation, the Company’s rights will expire and will be worthless.

 

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that if the Company is unsuccessful in consummating an initial business combination within the prescribed period of time from the closing of the IPO, the requirement that the Company cease all operations, redeem the public shares and thereafter liquidate and dissolve raises substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Subsequent to December 31, 2025, on February 2, 2026, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “BCA”) with PrimeGen US, Inc. and certain other parties, pursuant to which the Company intend to consummate our initial business combination through a series of merger transactions. Management believes that the consummation of the proposed business combination, if completed, would provide us with an operating business and additional capital resources. However, the completion of the proposed business combination is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and shareholder approval, and there can be no assurance that the transaction will be consummated. Accordingly, the matters described above do not alleviate the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management has determined that the Company has funds that are sufficient to fund the working capital needs of the Company until the consummation of an initial business combination or the winding up of the Company as stipulated in the Company’s amended and restated memorandum of association. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.

 

On December 31, 2025, the Company had working capital deficit of $361,245, excluding deferred underwriting commissions and the available cash held in the Trust Account for marketable securities, which indicated a lack of liquidity it needed to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which was considered to be one year from the issuance of the financial statements.There is no assurance that the Company’s plan to consummate a business combination will be successful. If a Business Combination is not consummated by the relevant period, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. As a result, there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainty.

 

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

These accompanying financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars and conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that 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 Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s audited financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

NOTES TO AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had $461 and $411,429 in cash as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

 

Cash and Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

 

The Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments held in Trust Account are included in interest earned and unrealized gain on marketable securities held in Trust Account in the accompanying statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in Trust Account are determined using available market information. The Company had $17,876,466 and $70,456,287 marketable securities held in the Trust Account as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2025, interest earned in the Trust Account amounted to $2,683,684 , of which $2,626,342 was reinvested in the Trust Account, $57,342 was recognized as unrealized gain on investments held in the Trust Account. During the year ended December 31, 2024, interest earned in the Trust Account amounted to $1,456,287, of which $1,192,605 was reinvested in the Trust Account, $263,682 was recognized as unrealized gain on investments held in the Trust Account.

 

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

 

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A – “Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, and other costs incurred that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Upon completion of the Initial Public Offering, offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs allocated to the Rights were charged to the shareholders’ equity. Offering costs allocated to the ordinary shares were charged against the carrying value of ordinary shares subject to possible redemption upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

 

Ordinary Share Subject to Possible Redemption

 

The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2025, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.

 

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit if additional paid in capital equals to zero. The interest earned by the marketable security held in trust, and the extension fee invest into the marketable security held in trust, were also recognized in redemption value against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit immediately.

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their audited financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the audited financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

 

The Company may be subject to potential examination by foreign taxing authorities in the area of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with foreign tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

 

The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the periods presented.

 

On August 16, 2022, the U.S. Government enacted legislation commonly referred to as the Inflation Reduction Act. The main provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act (the “IR Act”) that we anticipate may impact us is a 1% excise tax on share repurchases. Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Because there is possibility that the Company may acquire a U.S. domestic corporation or engage in a transaction in which a domestic corporation becomes parent or affiliate to the Company and the Company may become a “covered corporation” as a listed Company in Nasdaq. The management team has evaluated the IR Act as of December 31, 2025 and does not believe it would have a material effect on the Company, and will continue to evaluate its impact.

 

Net Income (Loss) per Share

 

The Company calculates net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed income (loss) allocable to both the redeemable ordinary shares and non-redeemable ordinary shares and the undistributed income (loss) is calculated using the total net income (loss) less any dividends paid. The Company then allocated the undistributed income (loss) ratably based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable ordinary shares. Any remeasurement of the accretion to the redemption value of the ordinary shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public stockholders.

 

The calculation of diluted income (loss) per ordinary shares does not consider the effect of the rights issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, and (ii) the private placement since the exercise of the rights are contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As of December 31, 2025, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share is the same as basic net income (loss) per ordinary share for the period presented.

 

The net income (loss) per share presented in the statement of operations is based on the following:

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution. The Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature. Please refer to Note 8.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, requiring public entities to disclose information about their reportable segment’s significant expenses and other segment items on an interim and annual basis. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to apply the disclosure requirements in ASU 2023-07, as well as all existing segment disclosures and reconciliation requirements in ASC 280 on an interim and annual basis. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07during the year ended December 31, 2024. See Note 9 Segment reporting in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for further detail.

 

NOTE 3 –INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

 

On July 26, 2024, pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 6,900,000 Public Units, which includes 900,000 Public Units upon the full exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Public Unit. Each Unit will consist of one ordinary share and one Public Right. Each whole Public Right will entitle the holder to receive one-ninth (1/9) ordinary share upon consummation of initial business combination.

 

All of the 6,900,000 public shares sold as part of the Public Units in the Initial Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, or in connection with the Company’s liquidation. In accordance with the SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity.

 

The Company’s redeemable ordinary share is subject to SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company has elected to recognize the changes immediately. The accretion or remeasurement is treated as a deemed dividend (i.e., a reduction to retained earnings, or in absence of retained earnings, additional paid-in capital).

 

As of December 31, 2025, the ordinary shares reflected in the balance sheet are reconciled in the following table:

 

      
Gross proceeds from Public Shares  $69,000,000 
Less:

Administrative Services Arrangement

 

An affiliate of the Sponsor will agree that, commencing from the date that the Company’s securities are first listed on NASDAQ through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and its liquidation, to make available to the Company certain general and administrative services, including office space, administrative and support services, as the Company may require from time to time.

Risks and Uncertainties

 

Management continues to evaluate the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these audited financial statements. The audited financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Registration Rights

NOTE 8– FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

 

“Fair value” is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

 

  ● Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
     
  ● Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
     
  ● Level 3 - Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Note 9 – Segment reporting

 

 

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, and for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.

 

The Company’s CODM has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, who review the assets, operating results, and financial metrics for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that there is only one reportable segment.

 

The CODM assesses performance for the single segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income (loss) that also is reported on the statement of operations as net income (loss). The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets.

 

   2025   2024 
   Year Ended 
   December 31, 
   2025   2024 
Operating expenses:          
Formation and operating costs  $(437,174)  $(222,248)
General and administrative expenses   (120,000)   (50,000)
Loss from operations   (557,174)   (272,248)
           
Other income:          
Interest from operating account   6,205    9,577 
Interest earned in Trust Account   2,626,342    1,192,605 
Unrealized gained on marketable securities held in Trust Account   57,342    263,682 
Total other income   2,689,889    1,465,864 
           
NET INCOME  $2,132,715   $1,193,616 

 

The key measures of segment profit or loss reviewed by the CODM are formation and operational costs. Formation and operational costs are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete the Business Combination within the Combination Period. The CODM also reviews formation and operational costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget. Formation and operational costs, as reported on the statement of operations, are the significant segment expenses provided to the CODM on a regular basis.

 

All other segment items included in net income are reported on the consolidated statement of operations and described within their respective disclosures.

 

NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements were filed. Except as described below, no subsequent events were identified that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

 

On February 2, 2026, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “BCA”) with PrimeGen US, Inc. and certain other parties, pursuant to which the Company intends to consummate its initial business combination. As of the date of these financial statements, the proposed business combination has not been consummated and remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Stockholders of DTSQ Purchaser Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of DTSQ Purchaser Inc.(the “Company”) as of March 31, 2026, and the related statement of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the period from January 29, 2026 through March 31, 2026, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2026, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from January 29, 2026 through March 31, 2026, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations

 

Business Operations

 

DTSQ Purchaser Inc. (the “Company”, “Purchaser” or “PubCo”) is a Delaware company formed by DT Cloud Star Acquisition Corporation (the “Parent” or “DT Cloud Star”) on January 29, 2026 (inception). The Company has adopted a fiscal year-end of December 31. The Company is authorized to issue 1,500,000,000 shares of stock, including:

 

● 800,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.00001 per share;
● 200,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.00001 per share;
● 500,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share.

 

The Company’s sole purpose is to serve as the surviving entity in connection with a proposed business combination with PrimeGen US, Inc. (the “Business Combination”). As of the date of these financial statements, the Company has not engaged in any substantive operations or revenue-generating activities.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company was formed by the Parent. The Parent has until October 26, 2026 to complete its initial business combination (unless further extended). If the Parent is unable to complete the initial business combination by October 26, 2026, the Parent must cease all operations and dissolve and liquidate (unless further extended).

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. If the Parent is unable to raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity needs as well as complete a business combination by close of October 26, 2026 (unless further extended), then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The liquidity condition and date for liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

 

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

As of the date of these financial statements, the Company has not conducted any substantive operations. Management believes that the financial statements include all necessary adjustments to fairly present the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

The Company is a newly formed entity under the Parent’s business combination structure. The Company will only qualify as an “emerging growth company” after the business combination has been completed and a publicly traded operating company exists.

 

As modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and the emerging growth company may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

F-45

 

 

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 Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Risk and Uncertainties

 

The primary risk faced by the Company is the successful completion of the business combination with PrimeGen US, Inc. by the Parent within the specified time period. Additionally, the Company faces risks associated with the changes in market conditions that could affect the Parent’s ability to close the business combination.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined the United States is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2026 and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

 

The provision for income taxes was deemed to be immaterial for the period from January 29, 2026 (inception) through March 31, 2026.

 

Loss Per Share

 

The Company computes basic loss per share (“EPS”) by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common stock shares equivalents outstanding. During the periods when there are anti-dilutive, common stock share equivalents, if any, are not considered in the computation. As of March 31, 2026, the Company issued 1 share of common stock to the Parent, and there are no outstanding common stock equivalents or potentially dilutive securities.

 

F-46

 

 

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, requiring public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses and other segment items on an interim and annual basis. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to apply the disclosure requirements in ASU 2023-07, as well as all existing segment disclosures and reconciliation requirements in ASC 280 on an interim and annual basis. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 since inception. Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statement.

 

Note 3 — Business Combination

 

On February 2, 2026, DT Cloud Star Acquisition Corporation (the “Parent” or “DT Cloud Star”) entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) by and among DT Cloud Star, DTSQ PURCHASER INC., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of DT Cloud Star (“Purchaser” or “PubCo”), DTSQ Merger Sub Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of DT Cloud Star, and PrimeGen US, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Target Company”).

 

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination will be effected in two steps: (i) DT Cloud Star will reincorporate in the State of Delaware by merging with and into Purchaser, with Purchaser remaining as the surviving publicly traded entity (the “Reincorporation Merger”); (ii) after the Reincorporation Merger, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Target Company, resulting in Target Company being a wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser (the “Acquisition Merger” and together with the Reincorporation Merger, the “Business Combination”).

 

Pursuant to the BCA, at the effective time of the Acquisition Merger (the “Acquisition Merger Effective Time”), the Purchaser shall issue and deliver to the stockholders of the Target Company an aggregate number of Purchaser Class A Common Stock with an aggregate value equal to (a) One Billion Four Hundred Eighty Nine Million Eight Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars ($1,489,800,000) less (b)(i) the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock of the Target Company (the “Target Company Class A Common Stock”), on an as-exercised basis, under the outstanding warrants of Target Company (the “Target Company Warrant”) multiplied by (ii) the redemption price less the applicable exercise price of such Target Company Warrant and less (c) (i) the aggregate number of shares of Target Company Class A Common Stock, on an as-exercised basis, under the options of the Target Company (the “Target Company Stock Option”) multiplied by (ii) the redemption price less the applicable exercise price of such Target Company Stock Option (the “Purchase Price”).

 

Each share of common stock of the Purchaser (the “Purchaser Common Stock”) shall be valued at the redemption price, with each Target Company stockholder receiving its pro rata share of the resulting “Merger Consideration”. The holders of Target Company Class A Common Stock shall receive Merger Consideration in the form of Purchaser Class A Common Stock ; and holders of Class B common stock of the Target Company (the “Target Company Class B Common Stock”) shall receive Merger Consideration in the form of Class B common stock of the Purchaser (the “Purchaser Class B Common Stock”).

 

Note 4 — Share Capital

 

The Company is authorized to issue 1,500,000,000 shares, including Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, and Preferred Stock, as detailed in Note 1.

 

On the inception date, the Company issued 1 share of common stock to its Parent, DT Cloud Star, at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. The subscription fee was not received yet as of March 31, 2026.

 

Note 5 — Subsequent Events

 

The Company has reviewed events occurring after March 31, 2026 and through the issuance of the financial statements. No events have occurred that require disclosure or adjustment other than the continued progress under the Business Combination Agreement.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

 

PrimeGen US, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware company, was formed on January 15, 2019, and is a biotechnology development company, focused in the areas of research, development and marketing in the biomedical industry, with an emphasis on germicide research, adult stem-cell engineering and regenerative cellular replacement therapies. Its majority shareholder is PrimeGen Global, Inc. (“PGG”).

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

 

Basis of Accounting

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), and the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP can be condensed or omitted. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. They should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2025 audited financial statements.

 

The accompanying financial statements are unaudited and include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that management considers necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.

 

Going Concern

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has negative working capital, negative cash flow from operations and has no assurance of future revenue. The Company had accumulated net losses of $39,297,017 (unaudited) through June 30, 2026. The Company’s current operations are funded by loans and the sale of stock. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan to continue as a going concern is to raise additional equity capital until it can obtain FDA approval and begin to market its technology. No adjustments have been made to the carrying value of assets and classification of liabilities as a result of this uncertainty.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Amounts could materially change in the future.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid holdings with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at June 30, 2026 (unaudited) or December 31, 2025. The Company maintains cash balances that at times exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company has not experienced any losses in these accounts and believes it is not exposed to any credit risk in this area.

 

F-62

 

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists of finished goods valued at the lower of cost (using the first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 5 years once the individual assets are placed in service. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life of the improvements or the remaining lease term. Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 amounted to $33,677 (unaudited) and $13,941 (unaudited), respectively.

 

Leases

 

The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, Leases, which requires, among other things, the recognition of a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability, measured on a discounted basis, on the balance sheet for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. Leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The Company has elected to not separate non-lease components from lease components.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

In accordance with ASC 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. There was no impairment of long-lived assets identified during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers is recognized when the promised goods or services are transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company’s revenue represents the sale of biomedical products to customers. Revenue is recognized at the time of shipment.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

In accordance with ASC 730-10, Research and Development, the Company expenses all research and development costs in the period they are incurred.

 

F-63

 

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

Stock compensation issued to employees and others is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. The fair value of stock-based compensation issued during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following input variables.

 

   For the Six Months Ended 
   June 30,   June 30, 
   2026   2025 
   (Unaudited)   (Unaudited) 
         
Expected life in years   3.0 - 4.0    3.0 - 10.0 
Volatility   70%   70%
Risk free interest rate   3.67% - 3.82%    4.25% - 4.53%
Expected dividends   None    None 
Expected forfeitures   None    None 

 

Black-Scholes valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. The fair value of stock compensation awards was estimated with a volatility figure derived from using the midpoint volatility of a range of peer group volatilities. We similarly account for the expected life of options using the midpoint of an expected range of grantee exercise terms. We account for the expected life of warrants using their contractual life. The risk-free interest rate was determined using the US Federal Treasury rate on the grant/measurement date and the expected life of options and warrants.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. Interest and penalties payable to taxing authorities are recorded as general and administrative expenses.

 

Earnings Per Share

 

Basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share adds the effect of potentially dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period to the current outstanding shares. There were 30,439,538 and 15,490,000 potentially dilutive common share equivalents during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. For both the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the common share equivalents were excluded from the calculation of weighted-average diluted shares, as the shares have an anti-dilutive effect due to the net loss for both periods.

 

Segment Reporting

 

The Company operates and manages its business as a single reportable segment related to regenerative medicine therapies utilizing allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells (“MSCs”). The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer, who evaluates performance, makes operating decisions and allocates resources based on a single measure of loss before income taxes. The CODM regularly receives expenses in total for the Company’s reportable segment.

 

F-64

 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (“Subtopic 220-40”): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial statements.

 

3. BUSINESS COMBINATION

 

The Company negotiated and entered into a Business Combination Agreement with DT Cloud Star Acquisition Corporation and subsidiaries (“DTCS”) on February 2, 2026 wherein shareholders of the Company will receive 0.8598 shares of DTCS, representing approximately 96% ownership of DTCS on a diluted basis.

 

The Business Combination is expected to be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. PGUS will be deemed the accounting predecessor and the combined entity will be the successor SEC registrant, meaning that PGUS’s financial statements for previous periods will be disclosed in the registrant’s future periodic reports filed with the SEC upon closing of the business combination. Under this method of accounting, DTCS will be treated as the acquired company for financial statement reporting purposes.

 

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Stem Med Scientific, Inc.

 

Warrants

 

On January 27, 2025, the Company issued 2,000,000 warrants to Stem Med Scientific, Inc. (“StemMed”), the 83.4% owner of PGG, as consideration for service. The warrants are exercisable into Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.90 per share. See Note 9 for further details.

 

Notes Payable to Related Parties

 

On November 5, 2025, the Company entered into a promissory note with Rita Yuka Wong, a related party, for borrowings of $300,000, which bears interest at 8% per annum on a simple basis. Any outstanding borrowings are due on the earlier of September 30, 2026 or the closing date of the reverse merger transaction as discussed in Note 3. The promissory note had an outstanding balance of $300,000 as of both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, along with accrued interest balances of $15,013 (unaudited) and $3,133 as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

 

On June 12, 2026 the Company issued a promissory note for $400,000 to its Chief Financial Officer. The note bears interest at 12% per annum and matures on the earlier of December 31, 2026 or the closing date of the reverse merger transaction as discussed in Note 3. The note had accrued interest balances of $2,533 (unaudited) and $0 as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

 

F-65

 

 

PrimeGen Biotech LLC

 

On March 18, 2019, the Company acquired lab machinery and equipment from PrimeGen Biotech LLC (“PGB”), a sister company to the Company’s majority stockholder PGG. Consideration was $278,806 in exchange for a promissory note. This note is non-interest bearing and due on demand. The outstanding balance of this promissory note amounted to $271,276 (unaudited) and $278,806 as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

 

The Company paid certain expenses on behalf of PGB. Amounts receivable for these payments totaled $189,149 at both June 30, 2026 (unaudited) and December 31, 2025.

 

Both the Company and PGB have agreed that all activity between them, including the promissory note, payments on behalf of PGB and advances from PGB will be settled net. The net balance due to PGB at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $82,127 (unaudited) and $89,657, respectively. This is included in the due to related parties account on the accompanying balance sheets.

 

On July 14, 2025, PGUS, as licensee, entered into the PGB Patent License with PGB, as licensor. The PGB IP is substantial, and rights thereto are contemplated to have substantial benefit to PGUS. The PGB Patent License does not provide for a cash up-front or execution payment. Once cumulative worldwide net sales of licensed products equal $5.0 million, PGUS is required to pay PGB a royalty of 1.5% on worldwide net sales of licensed products in excess of $5.0 million. Following expiration of the last-to-expire patent within the licensed patents in a country, the royalty due on net sales in that country is reduced by 50%. PGUS is also required to pay PGB 10% of certain non-royalty consideration PGUS receives from sublicenses, including upfront payments, fixed or periodic fees, milestone fees and certain debt, equity or investment consideration, subject to the terms of the agreement. Royalties and sublicense revenue share payments are payable within 30 days after the end of the calendar quarter in which they become due. As PGB is under common control with PGUS, the transfer of the assets was accounted for at historical cost. The transferred assets, consisting of patent applications and certain know-how, had a zero book value and, accordingly, the transfer had no accounting impact.

 

Office Lease

 

The Company leases office space from an entity controlled by the Yuen Family Trust, an indirect shareholder of the Company. On June 24, 2024, the Company reached an agreement with the lessor to forgive all back rent and entered into a new lease agreement for the same office space. After recording the extinguishment of the past lease liability, the Company recognized the new lease by recording a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability of $667,622. The new lease matures on June 30, 2028, and has monthly rental payments of $15,812. (See Note 8)

 

5. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

Property and equipment, net, consisted of the following:

 

   June 30,   December 31, 
   2026   2025 
   (Unaudited)     
         
Machinery and equipment  $585,292   $440,292 
Leasehold improvements   132,730    132,730 
 Property and equipment, gross   718,022    573,022

Total property and equipment, net  $518,426   $407,103 

 

F-66

 

 

6. LINE OF CREDIT

 

Effective January 5, 2026, the Company entered a promissory note with East West Bank, which includes a revolving line of credit providing for borrowings up to $2 million (the “Line of Credit”). Borrowings on the Line of Credit are collateralized by a certificate of deposit held by Sam Fong and Miranda Fong and bear interest at an index rate (the “Index”), which is equal to the interest rate on the certificate of deposit being held as collateral, plus 1.25%. The Index as of June 30, 2026 is equal to 3.534% per annum, resulting in an interest rate of 4.784% per annum. The Index will fluctuate to the extent the interest rate on the collateralized certificate of deposit changes. Any borrowings under the Line of Credit, including any accrued interest, are due in full on January 5, 2028. Monthly payments of any accrued interest outstanding are due beginning on February 5, 2026.

 

The outstanding balance on the Line of Credit as of June 30, 2026 amounted to $1,650,000. On May 1, 2026, the promissory note agreement was amended to increase the total available borrowings under the Line of Credit from $2 million to $2.5 million.

 

7. INCOME TAXES

 

The Company’s deferred tax asset consists of its net operating loss carryforward (“NOL”). At June 30, 2026 (unaudited) and December 31, 2025, it was determined that the realizability of the deferred tax asset did not meet the more-likely-than-not threshold, and consequently, a full valuation allowance was established against it. In assessing realizability, the Company determined that there were no prudent and feasible tax planning strategies that the Company could employ to reasonably assure the future realizability of its carryforward losses. In the absence of tax planning strategies and given the Company’s history of cumulative operating losses, it was difficult to overcome the resulting uncertainties over the Company’s ability to generate future taxable income to realize these deferred tax assets. In future periods, if the realizability of all or some portion of these deferred tax assets becomes more likely than not, the associated valuation allowance would be reversed as a deferred tax benefit.

 

At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the NOLs available to offset future taxable income were approximately $16.1 million and $13.5 million, respectively. At present there is no expiration date to the use of these NOLs for either Federal or California state usage.

 

Internal Revenue Code Section 382 imposes a restriction on the utilization of NOLs after a change in ownership. The Company has not determined the impact on its NOLs of past or future ownership changes as defined by Section 382. If it is determined that a change in control has occurred, or will occur, our ability to fully utilize the NOLs on an annual basis will be substantially limited, and the timing of the usage of the NOLs could be substantially delayed, which could therefore significantly impair the value of those benefits. Other than potential restrictions imposed by Section 382, there were no uncertain tax positions related to the Company’s NOLs.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Leases

 

The Company leases its office and research facilities from a related party under an operating lease with the expected term through June 30, 2028 at a monthly lease payment of $15,812. As of March 31, 2026, the lease has an expected remaining lease term of 2.2 years and the present value of future lease payments is discounted using the risk-free rate upon the lease date of 4.37%. Lease expense recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $92,186 (unaudited) and $97,198 (unaudited), respectively.

 

The following table presents maturities of operating lease liabilities on an undiscounted basis as of June 30, 2026:

 

 SCHEDULE OF MATURITY OF OPERATING LEASE LIABILITY

Year

Exercisable at June 30, 2026   13,300,000   $0.02    8.22   $106,137,990 

 

The aggregate intrinsic value in the preceding tables represents the total pretax intrinsic value, based on options with an exercise price of $0.0197, which is less than our stock price of $8.00 as of June 30, 2026. The aggregate intrinsic value would have been received by the option holders had those option holders exercised their options as of that date.

 

There was no stock-based compensation expense related to options for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. As of June 30, 2026, there were no nonvested awards and therefore no compensation related to these awards will be recognized in future years.

Exercisable at June 30, 2026   6,724,538   $0.90    4.83   $47,744,220 

 

The weighted average grant date fair value for warrants granted during the six months ended June 30, 2026 amounted to $0.49 per warrant. The aggregate intrinsic value in the preceding tables represents the total pretax intrinsic value, based on warrants with an exercise price of $0.90, which is less than our stock price of $8.00 as of June 30, 2026. Stock-based compensation expense related to the warrants for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $3,431,036 (unaudited) and $1,449,417 (unaudited), respectively. Future stock-based compensation expense to be recognized as of June 30, 2026 related to the warrants amounted to $3,639,613 (unaudited), which is expected to be recognized through January 2029.

 

Certain warrants contain performance-based vesting conditions based on the Company meeting certain operational and revenue milestones during the underlying service period. For these awards, at each reporting date, the Company evaluates the probability of achieving the performance criteria throughout the performance period. As of June 30, 2026, the probability of these awards achieving the performance criteria was deemed as not probable. Therefore, no stock-based compensation expense has been recorded for such awards. Other warrants are scheduled to vest based on the Company’s completion of the business combination with DTCS (see Note 3). The stock-based expense on these warrants is being recorded over an estimated service period through October 2026.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of PrimeGen US, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of PrimeGen US, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has continued to incur significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 and has negative working capital at December 31, 2025. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Restatement of 2024 and 2025 Financial Statements

 

As discussed in Note 2 of the financial statements, the December 31, 2025 and 2024 financial statements have been restated to correct a misstatement.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws, the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB, and in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) “PCAOB” and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

PRIMEGEN US, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

PrimeGen US, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware company, was formed on January 15, 2019, and is a biotechnology development company, focused in the areas of research, development and marketing in the biomedical industry, with an emphasis on germicide research, adult stem-cell engineering and regenerative cellular replacement therapies. Its majority shareholder is PrimeGen Global, Inc. (“PGG”).

 

2. RESTATEMENT

 

The Company has restated its financial statements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and for the years then ended due to a reassessment of the forgiveness of lease liability on June 24, 2024 in the amount of $525,952. On that date, the Company executed a new lease with the existing lessor, an entity controlled by an indirect shareholder of the Company. As occupancy of the premises remained the same, the Company originally recorded the forgiveness as a reduction of the right of use asset of the new lease. However, upon reassessment, since the lessor was an indirect shareholder, the Company has determined that the forgiveness should have been categorized as a capital contribution, not a reduction of the right of use asset. As a result of recategorizing the debt forgiveness, the right of use asset increased, resulting in higher amortization expense for the period since inception of the new lease.

 

Following is the impact of the aforementioned restatement.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

 

Going Concern

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has negative working capital, negative cash flow from operations and has no assurance of future revenue. The Company had accumulated net losses of $32,329,989 through December 31, 2025. The Company’s current operations are funded by loans and the sale of stock. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan to continue as a going concern is to raise additional equity capital until it can obtain FDA approval and begin to market its technology. No adjustments have been made to the carrying value of assets and classification of liabilities as a result of this uncertainty.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Amounts could materially change in the future.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid holdings with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at December 31, 2025 or 2024. The Company maintains cash balances that at times exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company has not experienced any losses in these accounts and believes it is not exposed to any credit risk in this area.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 5 years once the individual assets are placed in service. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life of the improvements or the remaining lease term. Depreciation and amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 amounted to $38,305 and $30,648, respectively.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Leases

 

The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, Leases, which requires, among other things, the recognition of a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability, measured on a discounted basis, on the balance sheet for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. Leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The Company has elected to not separate non-lease components from lease components.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

In accordance with ASC 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. There was no impairment of long-lived assets identified during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

In accordance with ASC 730-10, Research and Development, the Company expenses all research and development costs in the period they are incurred. Research and development costs totaled $3,542,159 and $3,988,908 during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

 

Debt Restructuring

 

Effective January 1, 2024, the Company restructured its debt with its parent PGG and Stem Med Scientific, Inc. (“Stem Med”), the 83.4% owner of PGG. As part of that restructuring the Company’s debt of $3,610,000, together with accrued interest of $426,485, to PGG were forgiven. A second note, due from the Company to Stem Med of $5,150,000, together with accrued interest of $891,606 was amended to forgive the accrued interest and it was converted into 5,722,222 shares of the Company’s common stock. Additionally, Stem Med was given the option to convert its note from PGG into shares of the Company. Stem Med exercised this option and its note payable from PGG to Stem Med was converted into 7,833,999 shares of the Company’s common stock on October 2, 2024. The forgiveness of debt and interest was recorded as a capital contribution, and the shares issued for the note from PGG to Stem Med was recorded as a distribution. See Note 3 for further details on these related party transactions.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

Stock compensation issued to employees and others is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. The fair value of stock-based compensation issued during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following input variables.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

   Year Ended   Year Ended 
   December 31,   December 31, 
   2025   2024 
         
Expected life in years   3.0 - 10.0    6.0 
Volatility   70%   100%
Risk free interest rate   4.25% - 4.53%    3.48%
Expected dividends   None    None 
Expected forfeitures   None    None 

 

Black-Scholes valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. The fair value of stock compensation awards was estimated with a volatility figure derived from using the midpoint volatility of a range of peer group volatilities. We similarly account for the expected life of options using the midpoint of an expected range of grantee exercise terms. We account for the expected life of warrants using their contractual life. The risk-free interest rate was determined using the US Federal Treasury rate on the grant/measurement date and the expected life of options and warrants.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. Interest and penalties payable to taxing authorities are recorded as general and administrative expenses.

 

Earnings Per Share

 

Basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share adds the effect of potentially dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period to the current outstanding shares. There were 15,490,000 and 13,320,000 potentially dilutive common share equivalents during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. For both the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the common share equivalents were excluded from the calculation of weighted-average diluted shares, as the shares have an anti-dilutive effect due to the net loss for the years.

 

Stock Split

 

On August 26, 2024, the Company effected a 100:1 forward stock split via a stock dividend. The Company has retroactively applied the stock split to all prior periods.

 

Segment Reporting

 

The Company operates and manages its business as a single reportable segment related to regenerative medicine therapies utilizing allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells (“MSCs”). The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer, who evaluates performance, makes operating decisions and allocates resources based on a single measure of loss before income taxes. From its inception through December 31, 2025, the Company has not generated any revenue. The CODM regularly receives expenses in total for the Company’s reportable segment.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (“Topic 740”): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which requires public entities to disclose specific categories in its annual effective tax rate reconciliation and disaggregated information about significant reconciling items by jurisdiction and by nature. ASU 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments (net of refunds) to international, federal, and state and local jurisdictions. The Company adopted this ASU for the year ended December 31, 2025 on a retroactive basis. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 resulted in additional income tax disclosures, but did not have an impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Refer to Note 8, Income Taxes, for additional details.

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (“Subtopic 220-40”): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial statements.

 

4. BUSINESS COMBINATION

 

The Company negotiated and entered into a Business Combination Agreement with DT Cloud Star Acquisition Corporation (“DTCS”) on February 2, 2026 wherein shareholders of the Company will receive 0.8598 shares of DTCS, representing approximately 96% ownership of DTCS on a diluted basis.

 

The Business Combination is expected to be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. PGUS will be deemed the accounting predecessor and the combined entity will be the successor SEC registrant, meaning that PGUS’s financial statements for previous periods will be disclosed in the registrant’s future periodic reports filed with the SEC after completion of the merger. Under this method of accounting, DTCS will be treated as the acquired company for financial statement reporting purposes.

Effective January 1, 2024, the Company restructured its debt with Stem Med, the 83.4% owner of PGG, where the total outstanding principal and accrued interest was forgiven.

 

PrimeGen Biotech LLC

 

On March 18, 2019, the Company acquired lab machinery and equipment from PrimeGen Biotech LLC (“PGB”), a sister company to the Company’s sole stockholder PGG. Consideration was $278,806 in exchange for a promissory note. This note is non-interest bearing and due on demand.

 

The Company paid certain expenses on behalf of PGB. Amounts receivable for these payments totaled $189,149 and $195,873 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

 

Both the Company and PGB have agreed that all activity between them, including the promissory note, payments on behalf of PGB and advances from PGB will be settled net. The net balance due to PGB at December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $89,657 and $82,932, respectively. This is included in the due to related parties account on the accompanying balance sheets.

 

On July 14, 2025, PGUS, as licensee, entered into the PGB Patent License with PGB, as licensor. The business purpose for this transaction is the PGB IP is substantial, and rights thereto are contemplated to have substantial benefit to PGUS. The PGB Patent License does not provide for a cash up-front or execution payment. Once cumulative worldwide net sales of licensed products equal $5.0 million, PGUS is required to pay PGB a royalty of 1.5% on worldwide net sales of licensed products in excess of $5.0 million. Following expiration of the last-to-expire patent within the licensed patents in a country, the royalty due on net sales in that country is reduced by 50%. PGUS is also required to pay PGB 10% of certain non-royalty consideration PGUS receives from sublicenses, including upfront payments, fixed or periodic fees, milestone fees and certain debt, equity or investment consideration, subject to the terms of the agreement. Royalties and sublicense revenue share payments are payable within 30 days after the end of the calendar quarter in which they become due. As PGB is under common control with PGUS, the transfer of the assets was accounted for at historical cost. The transferred assets, consisting of patent applications and certain know-how, had a zero book value and, accordingly, the transfer had no accounting impact.

 

Office Lease

 

The Company leases office space from an entity controlled by the Yuen Family Trust, an indirect shareholder of the Company. On June 24, 2024, the Company reached an agreement with the lessor to forgive all back rent and entered into a new lease agreement for the same office space.

Other Convertible Notes

 

On various dates during the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company issued convertible notes with substantially the same terms as the Convertible Note above. Total issuances of these notes was $610,000.

 

On October 2, 2024, the entire outstanding principal of these other convertible notes of $610,000 and accrued interest of $13,351 was converted into shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock at a conversion ratio of $0.90 per share. There were no balances outstanding relating to these convertible notes as of December 31, 2025 or 2024.

 

9. INCOME TAXES

 

The Company’s deferred tax asset consists of its net operating loss carryforward (“NOL”). At December 31, 2025 and 2024, it was determined that the realizability of the deferred tax asset did not meet the more-likely-than-not threshold, and consequently, a full valuation allowance was established against it. In assessing realizability, the Company determined that there were no prudent and feasible tax planning strategies that the Company could employ to reasonably assure the future realizability of its carryforward losses. In the absence of tax planning strategies and given the Company’s history of cumulative operating losses, it was difficult to overcome the resulting uncertainties over the Company’s ability to generate future taxable income to realize these deferred tax assets. In future periods, if the realizability of all or some portion of these deferred tax assets becomes more likely than not, the associated valuation allowance would be reversed resulting in a positive net deferred tax benefit. Changes in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 are presented below.

 

   December 31,   December 31, 
   2025   2024 
         
Beginning balance - net operating loss  $4,065,426   $2,920,984 
Additions   1,911,473    1,144,442 
Ending balance - net operating loss  $5,976,899   $4,065,426 

 

At December 31, 2025 and 2024 the NOLs available to offset future taxable income was approximately $13.5 million and $11.6 million, respectively. At present there is no expiration date to the use of these NOLs for either Federal or California state usage.

 

Internal Revenue Code Section 382 imposes a restriction on the utilization of NOLs after a change in ownership. The Company has not determined the impact on its NOLs of past or future ownership changes as defined by Section 382. If it is determined that a change in control has occurred, or will occur, our ability to fully utilize the NOLs on an annual basis will be substantially limited, and the timing of the usage of the NOLs could be substantially delayed, which could therefore significantly impair the value of those benefits. Other than potential restrictions imposed by Section 382, there were no uncertain tax positions related to the Company’s NOLs.

 

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, for the year ended December 31, 2025 on a retrospective basis. The following table presents the required disclosure pursuant to ASU 2023-09 and is a reconciliation of the Company’s income tax expense at the statutory federal tax rate to the Company’s effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

A-3

 

 

(c) Effect of Redomestication Merger. At the Redomestication Merger Effective Time, the effect of Redomestication Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the Cayman Plan of Merger and the Delaware Redomestication Merger Certificate, and the applicable provisions of the Cayman Companies Act and the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Redomestication Merger Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, liabilities, duties and obligations of Parent and Purchaser prior to the Redomestication Merger Effective Time shall become the property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, liabilities, duties and obligations of the Redomestication Merger Surviving Corporation, which shall include the assumption by the Redomestication Merger Surviving Corporation of any and all agreements, covenants, duties and obligations of Parent set forth in this Agreement to be performed after the Closing, and the Purchaser Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding as a result of the conversion under Section 1.1(f) hereof shall be listed on Nasdaq.

 

(d) Constitutional Documents. At the Redomestication Merger Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of Purchaser shall be amended and restated so that they read in their entirety as set forth in Exhibit C and Exhibit D.

 

(e) Directors and Officers of the Redomestication Merger Surviving Corporation. As of the Redomestication Merger Effective Time, the Persons constituting the officers and directors of Parent prior to the Redomestication Merger Effective Time shall continue to be the officers and directors of the Redomestication Merger Surviving Corporation (and holding the same title as held at Parent) until the Redomestication Merger Effective Time.

 

(f) Effect on Issued Securities of Parent.

 

(i) Conversion of Parent Ordinary Shares.

 

(A) At the Redomestication Merger Effective Time and immediately following the conversion of Parent Units and Parent Rights pursuant to Section 1.1(f)(ii) below, by virtue of the Redomestication Merger and without any action on the part of any Party hereto or the holders of securities of the Parent, each issued and outstanding Parent Ordinary Share (including each Parent Ordinary Share resulting from the conversion of Parent Units and Parent Rights pursuant to Section 1.1(f)(ii) below but other than the Parent Excluded Shares and Parent Dissenting Shares) immediately prior to the Redomestication Merger Effective Time shall, subject to Section 1.1(f)(ii) below, be converted automatically into one share of Purchaser Class A Common Stock. Simultaneously with such automatic conversion, at the Redomestication Merger Effective Time all Parent Ordinary Shares shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist. The holders of issued Parent Ordinary Shares immediately prior to the Redomestication Merger Effective Time, as evidenced by the register of members of Parent (the “Shareholder Register”), shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Parent Ordinary Shares, except as provided herein or by Law. Each certificate (if any) previously evidencing Parent Ordinary Shares shall be exchanged for a certificate representing the same number of shares of Purchaser Class A Common Stock in accordance with Section 1.1(g).

 

A-4

 

 

(B) Each holder of Parent Ordinary Shares (other than the Parent Excluded Shares and Parent Dissenting Shares) listed on the Shareholder Register immediately prior to the Redomestication Merger Effective Time shall thereafter have the right to receive the same number of shares of Purchaser Class A Common Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, and subject to Section 1.1(f)(ii), each holder of Parent Ordinary Shares shall have only the right to receive one (1) share of Purchaser Class A Common Stock in exchange for each Parent Ordinary Share canceled and retired pursuant to Section 1.1(f)(i) above.

 

(ii) Issuance of Non-Redemption Warrants. At the Redomestication Merger Effective Time, Purchaser shall issue warrants to purchase a total of an additional 1,931,900 shares of Purchaser Class A Common Stock (the “Non-Redemption Warrants”) to (x) those Public Shareholders which, as of a time immediately prior to the Redomestication Merger Effective Time, have not tendered their Parent Ordinary Shares in the Redemption and (y) all other holders of Parent Ordinary Shares as of a time immediately prior to the Redomestication Merger (including, without limitation, the Sponsor, other Insiders and holders of other Parent Ordinary Shares that are not Public Shares) (each, an “Eligible Warrant Recipient”). The Parent Ordinary Shares held by the Eligible Warrant Recipients are hereby referred to as the “Eligible Parent Ordinary Shares.” For the avoidance of doubt, no Public Shareholder that has delivered to Parent a notice of intention to exercise its right of Redemption prior to the Parent EGM shall have the right to receive Non-Redemption Warrants. The Non-Redemption Warrants shall have an exercise price of $2.00 per share of Purchaser Class A Common Stock and shall otherwise contain the terms set forth in the form of warrant annexed as Exhibit E hereto. Upon the effectiveness of Redomestication Merger, each Eligible Warrant Recipient shall receive a number of Non-Redemption Warrants determined by the following formula:

 

# of Non-Redemption Warrants = (Number of Eligible Parent Ordinary Shares Owned by Eligible Warrant Recipient/Total Number of Eligible Parent Ordinary Shares) X (1,931,900)

 

For the avoidance of doubt, “Eligible Parent Ordinary Shares” includes the Parent Ordinary Shares plus the Parent Ordinary Shares contained within the Parent Units.

 

(iii) Conversion of Parent Units and Parent Rights. At or immediately prior to the Redomestication Merger Effective Time, (i) all Parent Units issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Redomestication Merger Effective Time will separate into their individual components of Parent Ordinary Shares and Parent Rights and will cease separate existence and trading and (ii) each issued and outstanding Parent Right immediately prior to the Redomestication Merger Effective Time shall be converted into one Redomestication Merger Surviving Corporation Right. At the Redomestication Merger Effective Time, each Parent Right and Parent Warrant shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist. Each of the Redomestication Merger Surviving Corporation Rights shall have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the applicable agreements governing the Parent Rights that are outstanding immediately prior to the Redomestication Merger Effective Time. At or prior to the Redomestication Merger Effective Time, Purchaser shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for future issuance, and shall maintain such reservation for so long as any of the Redomestication Merger Surviving Corporation Rights remain outstanding, a sufficient number of Redomestication Merger Surviving Corporation Ordinary Shares for delivery upon the exercise of the Redomestication Merger Surviving Corporation Rights after the Redomestication Merger Effective Time.

 

A-5

 

 

(iv) Cancellation of Parent Ordinary Shares Owned by Parent. At the Redomestication Merger Effective Time, if there are any Parent Ordinary Shares that are owned by Parent as treasury shares or any Parent Ordinary Shares owned by any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent immediately prior to the Redomestication Merger Effective Time (collectively, the “Parent Excluded Shares”), such shares shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or payment therefor by virtue of the Redomestication Merger. In addition, as of the Redomestication Merger Effective Time, the one (1) share of Purchaser Class A Common Stock owned by Parent immediately prior to the Redomestication Merger Effective Time shall be automatically canceled and extinguished without any conversion or consideration delivered in exchange therefor.

 

(v) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.1, none of the Redomestication Merger Surviving Corporation, Parent, Purchaser or any other Party hereto shall be liable to any person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

 

1.2 Surrender of Parent Ordinary Shares. All securities issued upon the surrender of the Parent Ordinary Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such securities, provided that any restrictions on the sale and transfer of the Parent Ordinary Shares shall also apply to the Parent Ordinary Shares so issued in exchange.

 

1.3 Lost Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Purchaser shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates or securities as the case may be, upon an executed affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such securities; provided, however, that the Redomestication Merger Surviving Corporation may, in its sole and exclusive discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, additionally require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates to deliver an executed deed of indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to the certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

 

1.4 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Redomestication Merger Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Redomestication Merger Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Parent and Purchaser, the officers and directors of Parent and Purchaser are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

1.5 Tax Treatment of the Redomestication Merger. For federal income tax purposes, the Redomestication Merger is intended to constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code (the “Redomestication Intended Tax Treatment”). Each Parent Party hereby (i) adopts this Agreement insofar as it relates to the Redomestication Merger as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Section 1.368-2(g) of the United States Treasury Regulations, (ii) agrees to file and retain such information as shall be required under Section 1.368-3 of the United States Treasury Regulations with respect to the Redomestication Merger, and (iii) agrees to file all Tax and other informational returns on a basis consistent with such characterization, except if otherwise required by a “determination” within the meaning of Code Section 1313 (or pursuant to any similar provision of applicable state, local or foreign Law). Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that each (i) has had the opportunity to obtain independent legal and tax advice with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) is responsible for paying its own Taxes, including any adverse Tax consequences that may result if the Redomestication Merger is determined not to qualify for the Redomestication Merger Intended Tax Treatment.

 

1.6 Parent Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, including Section 1.1(f)(i) above, Parent Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Redomestication Merger Effective Time (other than the Parent Excluded Shares) and held by a holder of Parent Ordinary Shares (each a “Parent Dissenting Shareholder”) who has validly exercised and not effectively withdrawn or otherwise lost their rights to dissent from the Redomestication Merger in accordance with Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Act (such shares being referred to collectively as the “Parent Dissenting Shares” until such time as such Parent Dissenting Shareholder fails to perfect or otherwise loses such Parent Dissenting Shareholder’s dissenter’s rights under Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Act with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into a right to receive shares of Purchaser Class A Common Stock, but instead such Parent Dissenting Shares shall be automatically canceled and cease to exist by virtue of the Redomestication Merger and shall thereafter represent only the right of the holder thereof to be paid the fair value of such Parent Dissenting Shares and such other rights as are granted by the Cayman Companies Act; provided, however, that if, after the Redomestication Merger Effective Time, such Parent Dissenting Shareholder fails to perfect or prosecute or otherwise waives, effectively withdraws or loses such holder’s dissenter’s right pursuant to the Cayman Companies Act or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such Parent Dissenting Shareholder is not entitled to the relief provided by the Cayman Companies Act, such shares shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Redomestication Merger Effective Time into the right to receive the allocable portion of the shares of Purchaser Class A Common Stock, if any, to which such Parent Dissenting Shareholder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.1(f)(i), without interest thereon.

2.10 Appraisal and Dissenter’s Rights.

 

(a) Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive the applicable consideration for Company Common Stock set forth in Section 3.1(a) but instead the holder thereof shall only be entitled to such rights as are provided by the DGCL. In the event that a holder properly perfects such holder’s appraisal, dissenters’ or similar rights by demanding and not effectively withdrawing or losing such holder’s appraisal, dissenters’ or similar rights for any shares of Company Common Stock, the Exchange Agent shall deliver to Purchaser such holder’s portion of the Merger Consideration that is attributable to such shares at the time such portion of such Merger Consideration is determined and such rights are perfected.

 

(b) Withdrawal or Loss of Rights. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.12(a), if any holder of Dissenting Shares effectively withdraws or loses (through failure to perfect or otherwise) such holder’s appraisal or dissenters’ rights with respect to such shares under the DGCL, then, as of the later of the Acquisition Merger Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, (i) such holder’s shares shall automatically convert into and represent only the right to receive the consideration for Company Common Stock, as applicable, set forth in and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, upon surrender of the certificate(s) formerly representing such shares (if any), and (ii) Purchaser (to the extent the following amounts have been previously delivered by the Exchange Agent to Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.12(a) and not returned to the Exchange Agent) or the Exchange Agent shall deliver to such holder such holder’s portion of the Merger Consideration that is attributable to such shares at the time such rights are withdrawn or lost.

 

(c) Demands for Appraisal. The Company shall give Purchaser (i) prompt notice of any written demand for appraisal received by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of the DGCL, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Purchaser, make any payment with respect to any such demands or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

 

2.11 Withholding Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the cash otherwise deliverable under this Agreement, and, from any other payments otherwise required pursuant to this Agreement or any additional agreement, such amounts the Purchaser is required to withhold and pay over to the applicable Governmental Authority with respect to any such deliveries and payments under the Code or any provision of state, local, provincial or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and are remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been delivered and paid to such Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser agrees that (i) provided the Company delivers the certificate set forth in Section 8.3(d)(xi), no such deduction or withholding is intended on any payments hereunder and (ii) the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate any such withholding, including providing recipients of consideration a reasonable opportunity to provide documentation establishing exemptions from or reductions of such withholdings.

The Company shall provide Parent with such information concerning the Company and their stockholders, officers, directors, employees, assets, Liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise), business and operations that may be required or appropriate for inclusion in the Registration Statement, or in any amendments or supplements thereto, which information provided by the Company shall be true and correct and not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading.

The Company agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by Parent and its Affiliates to induce Parent to enter in this Agreement, and the Company further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against such Party and each of its Affiliates under applicable Law. To the extent that the Company or any of its Affiliates commences any Action based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to Parent or its Representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against Parent or its Representatives, the Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that it and its Affiliates’ sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit such Party or any of its Affiliates (or any Person claiming on any of their behaves or in lieu of them) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein. In the event that the Company or any of its Affiliates commences Action based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to Parent or its Representatives which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, relief against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or the Public Shareholders, whether in the form of money damages or injunctive relief, Parent and its Representatives, as applicable, shall be entitled to recover from the Company and its Affiliates, as applicable, the associated legal fees and costs in connection with any such Action, in the event Parent or its Representatives, as applicable, prevails in such Action.

THIRD: The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized and incorporated under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or any applicable successor act thereto, as the same may be amended from time to time (the “DGCL”).

 

FOURTH: The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock that the Corporation is authorized to issue (i) 800,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), (ii) 200,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Class B Common Stock” and, together with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”), and (iii) 500,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Preferred Stock”). Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, the number of authorized shares of any of the Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, or Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL, and no vote of the holders of any of the Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, or Preferred Stock voting separately as a class shall be required therefor.

 

A. Common Stock. The powers, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the Common Stock are as follows:

 

1.Ranking. The voting, dividend and liquidation rights of the holders of the Common Stock are subject to and qualified by the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock of any series as may be designated by the Board upon any issuance of the Preferred Stock of any series.

 

2.Voting. Except as otherwise provided by law or by the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of any series of Preferred Stock, the holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall have the exclusive right to vote for the election and removal of directors and for all other purposes.

 

(i) Each holder of record of Class A Common Stock, as such, shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of Class A Common Stock held of record by such holder on all matters on which stockholders are entitled to vote generally.

 

C-1

 

 

(ii) Each holder of record of Class B Common Stock, as such, shall be entitled to ten (10) votes for each share of Class B Common Stock held of record by such holder on all matters on which stockholders are entitled to vote generally.

 

(iii) Except as required by applicable law, the holders of Common Stock shall vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders generally.

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary, the holders of Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together as a class with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation) or the DGCL.

 

3.Dividends. Subject to the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock, holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividends and distributions and other distributions in cash, stock or property of the Corporation when, as and if declared thereon by the Board from time to time out of assets or funds of the Corporation legally available therefor.

 

4.Liquidation. Subject to the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock, shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive the assets and funds of the Corporation available for distribution in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary. A liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, as such terms are used in this Section A(4), shall not be deemed to be occasioned by or to include any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other person or a sale, lease, exchange or conveyance of all or a part of its assets.

 

B.  Voluntary and Automatic Conversion into Class A Common Stock.

 

1. Voluntary Conversion. Each one (1) share of Class B Common Stock shall be convertible into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock at the option of the holder thereof at any time upon written notice to the transfer agent of the Corporation.

 

2. Automatic Conversion. Each one (1) share of Class B Common Stock shall automatically, without any further action, convert into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock upon  a Transfer (as defined below) of such share of Class B Common Stock; provided that no such automatic conversion shall occur in the case of a Transfer by a holder of Class B Common Stock (the “Original Holder”) to a Permitted Transferee of such Original Holder, or from one Permitted Transferee of such Original Holder to another Permitted Transferee of the same Original Holder, or from any Permitted Transferee back to such Original Holder.

For purposes of this Certificate of Incorporation, “Affiliate” means, with respect to an Original Holder, a person or entity that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with, such Original Holder.

 

For purposes of this Certificate of Incorporation, “Transfer” means any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, hypothecation or other transfer or disposition of a share of Class B Common Stock or any legal or beneficial interest therein, whether or not for value and whether voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law, including, without limitation, a transfer of such share to a broker or other nominee or the transfer of, or entering into a binding agreement with respect to, Voting Control over such share by proxy or otherwise; provided, however, that the following shall not be considered a “Transfer”: (1) the granting of a revocable proxy to officers or directors of the Corporation at the request of the Board in connection with actions to be taken at an annual or special meeting of stockholders; (2) entering into a voting trust, agreement or arrangement (with or without granting a proxy) solely with stockholders who are holders of Class B Common Stock that (A) is disclosed either in a Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation, (B) either has a term not exceeding one (1) year or is terminable by the holder of the shares subject thereto at any time, and (C) does not involve any payment of cash, securities, property or other consideration to the holder of the shares subject thereto other than the mutual promise to vote shares in a designated manner; (3) the pledge of shares of Class B Common Stock by a stockholder that creates a mere security interest in such shares pursuant to a bona fide loan or indebtedness transaction for so long as such stockholder continues to exercise Voting Control over such pledged shares; provided, however, that a foreclosure on such shares or other similar action by the pledgee shall constitute a Transfer unless such foreclosure or similar action qualifies as a Transfer to a Permitted Transferee; or (4) entering into a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; provided that a sale of such shares of Class B Common Stock pursuant to such plan shall constitute a Transfer at the time of such sale.

 

For purposes of this Certificate of Incorporation, “Voting Control” with respect to a share of Class B Common Stock means the power (whether exclusive or shared) to vote or direct the voting of such share by proxy, voting agreement or otherwise.

3. Conversion Upon Death or Permanent Incapacity. Each share of Class B Common Stock held of record by a holder who is a natural person (and not held by such natural person as nominee for an entity), or by such holder’s Permitted Transferees that are natural persons (and not acting as nominee for an entity), shall automatically, without any further action, convert into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock upon the death or Permanent Incapacity of such natural person holder; provided, however, that this Section B.3 shall not apply to shares of Class B Common Stock held of record by (i) any entity (including, without limitation, any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, or trust) or (ii) a natural person acting as nominee for any such entity. For the avoidance of doubt, changes in the ownership of equity interests in an entity that holds Class B Common Stock (including transfers by death, gift, or otherwise) shall not trigger conversion under this Section B.3 so long as such entity continues to satisfy the requirements for being a holder or Permitted Transferee under this Article FOURTH, Section B. For purposes of this Certificate of Incorporation, “Permanent Incapacity” means a legal determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that the natural person holder is permanently incapacitated or incompetent to manage his or her affairs.

4. Immediate Effect. In the event of a conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock to shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to Article FOURTH, Section B.2, such conversion shall be deemed to have been made at the time that the Transfer of shares occurred. Upon any conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock to shares of Class A Common Stock, all rights of the holder of shares of Class B Common Stock shall cease and the person or persons in whose name or names the certificate or certificates, if any, representing the shares of Class B Common Stock are to be issued shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder or holders of such shares of Class A Common Stock. Shares of Class B Common Stock that are converted into shares of Class A Common Stock as provided in this Article FOURTH, Section B shall be retired and no longer authorized and may not be reissued.

 

5. Reservation of Stock. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of Class B Common Stock, such number of its shares of Class A Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock.

 

6. Protective Provisions. The Corporation shall not, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, amend, alter, repeal or waive this Article FOURTH, Section B (or adopt any provision inconsistent therewith), unless such action is first approved by the affirmative vote (or written consent) of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, voting as a separate class, in addition to any other vote required by applicable law, this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Corporation, and the holders of Class A Common Stock shall have no right to vote thereon.

 

C. Preferred Stock

 

Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board is hereby authorized to provide by resolution or resolutions from time to time for the issuance, out of the unissued shares of Preferred Stock, of one or more series of Preferred Stock, without stockholder approval, by filing a certificate pursuant to the applicable law of the State of Delaware (the “Preferred Stock Designation”), setting forth such resolution and, with respect to each such series, establishing the number of shares to be included in such series, and fixing the voting powers, full or limited, or no voting power of the shares of such series, and the designation, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, if any, of the shares of each such series and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof. The powers, designation, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of each series of Preferred Stock, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, if any, may differ from those of any and all other series at any time outstanding. The authority of the Board with respect to each series of Preferred Stock shall include, but not be limited to, the determination of the following:

 

(a)the designation of the series, which may be by distinguishing number, letter or title;

 

(b)the number of shares of the series, which number the Board may thereafter (except where otherwise provided in the Preferred Stock Designation) increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding);

 

(c)the amounts or rates at which dividends will be payable on, and the preferences, if any, of shares of the series in respect of dividends, and whether such dividends, if any, shall be cumulative or noncumulative;

 

(d)the dates on which dividends, if any, shall be payable;

 

(e)the redemption rights and price or prices, if any, for shares of the series;

 

(f)the terms and amount of any sinking fund, if any, provided for the purchase or redemption of shares of the series;

 

C-4

 

 

(g)the amounts payable on, and the preferences, if any, of shares of the series in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation;

 

(h)whether the shares of the series shall be convertible into or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or series, or any other security, of the Corporation or any other corporation, and, if so, the specification of such other class or series or such other security, the conversion or exchange price or prices or rate or rates, any adjustments thereof, the date or dates at which such shares shall be convertible or exchangeable and all other terms and conditions upon which such conversion or exchange may be made;

 

(i)restrictions on the issuance or reissuance of shares of the same series or any other class or series;

 

(j)the voting rights, if any, of the holders of shares of the series generally or upon specified events; and

 

(k)any other powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each series of Preferred Stock, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such shares, all as may be determined from time to time by the Board and stated in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of such Preferred Stock.

 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the resolutions providing for issuance of any series of Preferred Stock may provide that such series shall be superior or rank equally or be junior to any other series of Preferred Stock to the extent permitted by law. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article FOURTH, Section C, the Corporation shall not, without the prior affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, voting separately as a class, issue any shares of Preferred Stock (or any other class or series of capital stock) if, immediately after giving effect to such issuance: (i) such Preferred Stock (or such other class or series) would entitle the holders thereof to more than one (1) vote per share on any matter on which stockholders are entitled to vote generally; (ii) such Preferred Stock (or such other class or series) would entitle the holders thereof to a number of votes per share that is greater than the number of votes per share to which holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled; or (iii) the aggregate voting power of all issued and outstanding shares of Preferred Stock (and any other class or series of capital stock other than Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock) would represent more than twenty percent (20%) of the total voting power of all issued and outstanding capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors. The restrictions set forth in this paragraph shall not apply to any Preferred Stock issued in connection with a firm commitment underwritten public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, so long as such Preferred Stock is subject to mandatory conversion into Class A Common Stock within one hundred eighty (180) days of issuance.

Despite the expiration of a director’s term, the director shall continue to serve until the director’s successor is elected and qualified.

 

D. Newly Created Directorships and Vacancies. Subject to the rights of holders of any series of Preferred Stock, any newly created directorship that results from an increase in the number of directors or any vacancy on the Board that results from the death, disability, resignation, disqualification or removal of any director or from any other cause shall be filled solely by the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director and shall not be filled by the stockholders. Any director elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office until the next succeeding annual meeting of stockholders and until such director’s successor is duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.

 

C-5

Article I

 

Stockholders

 

1.1 Place of Meetings. All meetings of stockholders shall be held at such place, if any, as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of PrimeGen Holdings, Inc. (the “Corporation”), the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the President or, if not so designated, at the principal executive office of the Corporation. The Board may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication in accordance with Section 211(a) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or any applicable successor act thereto, as the same may be amended from time to time (the “DGCL”).

 

1.2 Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of stockholders for the election of directors to succeed those whose terms expire and for the transaction of such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting shall be held on a date and at a time designated by the Board, the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the President. The Board acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by the majority of the Whole Board may postpone, reschedule or cancel any previously scheduled annual meeting of stockholders, before or after the notice for such meeting has been sent to the stockholders. For purposes of these Bylaws (these “Bylaws”), the term “Whole Board” will mean the total number of authorized directors whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships.

 

1.3 Special Meetings. Special meetings of stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by a resolution adopted by the majority of the Whole Board, the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer, and may not be called by any other person or persons. The Board acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by the majority of the Whole Board may postpone, reschedule or cancel any previously scheduled special meeting of stockholders, before or after the notice for such meeting has been sent to the stockholders. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to matters relating to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of meeting.

 

1.4 Notice of Meetings. Except as otherwise provided by law, notice of each meeting of stockholders, whether annual or special, shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given to stockholders, any notice shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to (in a manner consistent with the DGCL) by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. The notices of all meetings shall state the place, if any, date and time of the meeting, the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (if such date is different from the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting). The notice of a special meeting shall state, in addition, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. If notice is given by mail, such notice shall be deemed given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at such stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. If notice is given by electronic transmission, such notice shall be deemed given at the time specified in Section 232 of the DGCL.

 

1.5 Voting List. The Secretary shall prepare, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (provided, however, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than ten (10) days before the date of the meeting, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth day before the meeting date), arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting: (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (b) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. The Corporation shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Except as otherwise provided by law, the list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them.

 

D-1

 

 

1.6 Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of the capital stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person, present by means of remote communication in a manner, if any, authorized by the Board in its sole discretion, or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business; provided, however, that where a separate vote by a class or classes or series of capital stock is required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of such class or classes or series of the capital stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on such matter, present in person, present by means of remote communication in a manner, if any, authorized by the Board in its sole discretion, or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to the vote on such matter. A quorum, once established at a meeting, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum.

 

If, however, such quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, then either (i) the chairperson of the meeting, or (ii) the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present or represented. At any such adjourned meeting at which there is a quorum, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting originally called.

 

1.7 Adjournments. Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may be adjourned from time to time to any other time and to any other place at which a meeting of stockholders may be held under these Bylaws by the chairman of the meeting or by the stockholders present or represented at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon, although less than a quorum. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board shall fix as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record as of the record date so fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

 

1.8 Voting and Proxies. Each stockholder shall have such number of votes, if any, for each share of stock entitled to vote and held of record by such stockholder as may be fixed in the Certificate of Incorporation and a proportionate vote for each fractional share so held, unless otherwise provided by law or the Certificate of Incorporation. Each stockholder of record entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may vote in person (including by means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting) or may authorize another person or persons to vote for such stockholder by a proxy executed or transmitted in a manner permitted by applicable law. No such proxy shall be voted upon after three years from the date of its execution, unless the proxy expressly provides for a longer period. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212 of the DGCL.

 

1.9 Action at Meeting. When a quorum is present at any meeting, any matter other than the election of directors to be voted upon by the stockholders at such meeting shall be decided by the vote of the holders of shares of stock having a majority in voting power of the votes cast by the holders of all of the shares of stock present or represented at the meeting and voting affirmatively or negatively on such matter (or if there are two or more classes or series of stock entitled to vote as separate classes, then in the case of each such class or series, the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of stock of that class or series present or represented at the meeting and voting affirmatively or negatively on such matter), except when a different vote is required by applicable law, regulation applicable to the Corporation or its securities, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws. For the avoidance of doubt, neither abstentions nor broker non-votes will be counted as votes cast for or against such matter. Other than directors who may be elected by the holders of shares of any series of Preferred Stock or pursuant to any resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of such stock adopted by the Board, each director shall be elected by a plurality of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot.

1.10 Nomination of Directors.

 

(a) Except for (1) any directors entitled to be elected by the holders of Preferred Stock, (2) any directors elected in accordance with Section 2.9 hereof by the Board to fill a vacancy or newly-created directorship or (3) as otherwise required by applicable law or stock exchange regulation, at any meeting of stockholders, only persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures in this Section 1.10 shall be eligible for election or re-election as directors. Nomination for election to the Board at a meeting of stockholders may be made (i) by or at the direction of the Board (or any committee thereof) or (ii) by any stockholder of the Corporation who (x) timely complies with the notice procedures in Section 1.10(b), (y) is a stockholder of record on the date of the giving of such notice and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting and (z) is entitled to vote at such meeting.

 

(b) To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received in writing by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation as follows: (i) in the case of an election of directors at an annual meeting of stockholders, not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred and twenty (120) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than thirty (30) days, or delayed by more than sixty (60) days, from the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice must be so received not earlier than the one hundred and twentieth (120th) day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (A) the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting and (B) the tenth (10th) day following the day on which notice of the date of such annual meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was made, whichever first occurs; or (ii) in the case of an election of directors at a special meeting of stockholders, provided that the majority of the Whole Board, the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer has determined, in accordance with Section 1.3, that directors shall be elected at such special meeting and provided further that the nomination made by the stockholder is for one of the director positions that the Board, the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer, as the case may be, has determined will be filled at such special meeting, not earlier than the one hundred and twentieth (120th) day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (x) the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such special meeting and (y) the tenth (10th) day following the day on which notice of the date of such special meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of such special meeting was made, whichever first occurs. In no event shall the adjournment or postponement of a meeting (or the public disclosure thereof) commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice.

 

The stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth: (A) as to each proposed nominee (1) such person’s name, age, business address and, if known, residence address, (2) such person’s principal occupation or employment, (3) the class and series and number of shares of stock of the Corporation that are, directly or indirectly, owned, beneficially or of record, by such person, (4) a description of all direct and indirect compensation and other material monetary agreements, arrangements and understandings during the past three years, and any other material relationships, between or among (x) the stockholder, the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is being made and the respective affiliates and associates of, or others acting in concert with, such stockholder and such beneficial owner, on the one hand, and (y) each proposed nominee, and his or her respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert with such nominee(s), on the other hand, including all information that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K if the stockholder making the nomination and any beneficial owner on whose behalf the nomination is made or any affiliate or associate thereof or person acting in concert therewith were the “registrant” for purposes of such Item and the proposed nominee were a director or executive officer of such registrant, (5) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any derivative or short positions, swaps, profit interests, options, warrants, convertible securities, stock appreciation or similar rights, hedging transactions, and borrowed or loaned shares) that has been entered into by, or on behalf of, such proposed nominee, the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss to, manage risk or benefit of share price changes for, or increase or decrease the voting power of, such proposed nominee with respect to shares of stock of the Corporation, and (6) any other information concerning such person that must be disclosed as to nominees in proxy solicitations pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); and (B) as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is being made (1) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, of such beneficial owner, and any Stockholder Associated Person (as defined below), (2) the class and series and number of shares of stock of the Corporation that are, directly or indirectly, owned, beneficially or of record, by such stockholder, such beneficial owner and any Stockholder Associated Person, (3) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding between or among such stockholder, such beneficial owner and/or any Stockholder Associated Person and each proposed nominee and any other person or persons (including their names) pursuant to which the nomination(s) are being made or who may participate in the solicitation of proxies in favor of electing such nominee(s), (4) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any derivative or short positions, swaps, profit interests, options, warrants, convertible securities, stock appreciation or similar rights, hedging transactions, and borrowed or loaned shares) that has been entered into by, or on behalf of, such stockholder, such beneficial owner or any Stockholder Associated Person, the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss to, manage risk or benefit of share price changes for, or increase or decrease the voting power of, such stockholder, such beneficial owner or any Stockholder Associated Person with respect to shares of stock of the Corporation, (5) any other information relating to such stockholder, such beneficial owner and any Stockholder Associated Person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for the election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, (6) a representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person(s) named in its notice and (7) a representation whether such stockholder, such beneficial owner and/or such Stockholder Associated Person intends or is part of a group which intends (x) to deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock reasonably believed by such stockholder, such beneficial owner or such Stockholder Associated Person to be sufficient to elect the nominee and/or (y) otherwise to solicit proxies or votes from stockholders in support of such nomination. Such information provided and statements made as required by clauses (A) and (B) above or otherwise by this Section 1.10 are hereinafter referred to as a “Nominee Solicitation Statement.” Not later than ten (10) days after the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, the information required by Items (A)(1)-(5) and (B)(1)-(5) of the prior sentence shall be supplemented by the stockholder giving the notice to provide updated information as of such record date. In addition, to be effective, the stockholder’s notice must be accompanied by a written questionnaire with respect to the background and qualification of such proposed nominee (which questionnaire shall be provided by the Secretary upon written request) and the written consent of the proposed nominee to be named in the Corporation’s proxy statement as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected and a written statement executed by the proposed nominee acknowledging that as a director of the Corporation, the nominee will owe a fiduciary duty under Delaware law with respect to the Corporation and its stockholders. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as the Corporation may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation or that could be material to a reasonable stockholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such nominee or whether such nominee would be independent under applicable Securities and Exchange Commission and stock exchange rules and the Corporation’s publicly disclosed corporate governance guidelines. A stockholder shall not have complied with this Section 1.10(b) if the stockholder (or beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made) solicits or does not solicit, as the case may be, proxies or votes in support of such stockholder’s nominee in contravention of the representations with respect thereto required by this Section 1.10. For purposes of these Bylaws, a “Stockholder Associated Person” of any stockholder shall mean (i) any person controlling, directly or indirectly, or acting in concert with, such stockholder, (ii) any beneficial owner of shares of stock of the corporation owned of record or beneficially by such stockholder and on whose behalf the proposal or nomination, as the case may be, is being made, or (iii) any person controlling, controlled by or under common control with such person referred to in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii).

 

D-3

 

 

(c) Without exception, no person shall be eligible for election or re-election as a director of the Corporation at a meeting of stockholders unless nominated in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section 1.10. In addition, a nominee shall not be eligible for election or re-election if a stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person, as applicable, takes action contrary to the representations made in the Nominee Solicitation Statement applicable to such nominee or if the Nominee Solicitation Statement applicable to such nominee contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The chairman of any meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination was made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.10 (including the previous sentence of this Section 1.10(c)), and if the chairman should determine that a nomination was not made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.10, the chairman shall so declare to the meeting and such nomination shall not be brought before the meeting.

 

(d) Except as otherwise required by law, nothing in this Section 1.10 shall obligate the Corporation or the Board to include in any proxy statement or other stockholder communication distributed on behalf of the Corporation or the Board information with respect to any nominee for director submitted by a stockholder.

For purposes of this Section 1.10, to be considered a “qualified representative of the stockholder”, a person must be authorized by a written instrument executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person must produce such written instrument or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the written instrument or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders.

The stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth: (A) as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (1) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting, (2) the text of the proposal (including the exact text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and, in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend the Bylaws, the exact text of the proposed amendment), and (3) the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, and (B) as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is being made (1) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, of such beneficial owner and of any Stockholder Associated Person, (2) the class and series and number of shares of stock of the Corporation that are, directly or indirectly, owned, beneficially or of record, by such stockholder, such beneficial owner and any Stockholder Associated Person, (3) a description of any material interest of such stockholder, such beneficial owner or any Stockholder Associated Person and the respective affiliates and associates of, or others acting in concert with, such stockholder, such beneficial owner or any Stockholder Associated Person in such business, (4) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding between or among such stockholder, such beneficial owner and/or any Stockholder Associated Person and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business or who may participate in the solicitation of proxies in favor of such proposal, (5) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any derivative or short positions, swaps, profit interests, options, warrants, convertible securities, stock appreciation or similar rights, hedging transactions, and borrowed or loaned shares) that has been entered into by, or on behalf of, such stockholder, such beneficial owner or any Stockholder Associated Person, the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss to, manage risk or benefit of share price changes for, or increase or decrease the voting power of, such stockholder, such beneficial owner or any Stockholder Associated Person with respect to shares of stock of the Corporation, (6) any other information relating to such stockholder, such beneficial owner and any Stockholder Associated Person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for the business proposed pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, (7) a representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual meeting to bring such business before the meeting and (8) a representation whether such stockholder, such beneficial owner and/or any Stockholder Associated Person intends or is part of a group which intends (x) to deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock required to approve or adopt the proposal and/or (y) otherwise to solicit proxies or votes from stockholders in support of such proposal. Such information provided and statements made as required by clauses (A) and (B) above or otherwise by this Section 1.11 are hereinafter referred to as a “Business Solicitation Statement.” Not later than ten (10) days after the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, the information required by Items (A)(3) and (B)(1)-(6) of the prior sentence shall be supplemented by the stockholder giving the notice to provide updated information as of such record date. Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at any annual meeting of stockholders except in accordance with the procedures in this Section 1.11; provided that any stockholder proposal which complies with Rule 14a-8 of the proxy rules (or any successor provision) promulgated under the Exchange Act and is to be included in the Corporation’s proxy statement for an annual meeting of stockholders shall be deemed to comply with the notice requirements of this Section 1.11. A stockholder shall not have complied with this Section 1.11(b) if the stockholder (or beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made) solicits or does not solicit, as the case may be, proxies or votes in support of such stockholder’s proposal in contravention of the representations with respect thereto required by this Section 1.11.

 

(c) Without exception, no business shall be conducted at any annual meeting except in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section 1.11. In addition, business proposed to be brought by a stockholder may not be brought before the annual meeting if such stockholder or a Stockholder Associated Person, as applicable, takes action contrary to the representations made in the Business Solicitation Statement applicable to such business or if the Business Solicitation Statement applicable to such business contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The chairman of any annual meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether business was properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.11 (including the previous sentence of this Section 1.11(c)), and if the chairman should determine that business was not properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.11, the chairman shall so declare to the meeting and such business shall not be brought before the annual meeting.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.11, unless otherwise required by law, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the annual meeting to present business, such business shall not be considered, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such business may have been received by the Corporation.

 

(f) For purposes of this Section 1.11, the terms “qualified representative of the stockholder” and “public disclosure” shall have the same meaning as in Section 1.10.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.11, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 1.11; provided, however, that any references in these Bylaws to the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit any requirements applicable to proposals as to any business to be considered pursuant to this Section 1.11 (including paragraph (a)(3) hereof), and compliance with paragraph (a)(3) of this Section 1.11 shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to submit business (other than, as provided in the penultimate sentence of (b), business other than nominations brought properly under and in compliance with Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, as may be amended from time to time). Nothing in this Section 1.11 shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to applicable rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Unless otherwise required by law, inspectors may be officers, employees or agents of the Corporation. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of such inspector’s duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of such inspector’s ability. The inspector shall have the duties prescribed by law and, when the vote is completed, shall make a certificate of the result of the vote taken and of such other facts as may be required by law.

If the Board so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance herewith at the adjourned meeting.

 

In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix a record date, which shall not be more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no such record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.

 

4.6 Regulations. The issue and registration of shares of stock of the Corporation shall be governed by such other regulations as the Board may establish.

Neither the business nor the purpose of any meeting need be specified in any such waiver. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

5.5 Evidence of Authority. A certificate by the Secretary, or an Assistant Secretary, or a temporary Secretary, as to any action taken by the stockholders, directors, a committee or any officer or representative of the Corporation shall as to all persons who rely on the certificate in good faith be conclusive evidence of such action.

Article VII

 

Indemnification and Advancement

 

7.1 Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings other than Those by or in the Right of the Corporation. Subject to Section 7.3, the Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”) (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or Executive Officer of the Corporation, or, while a director or Executive Officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such Proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea or nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful.

 

D-12

 

 

7.2 Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings by or in the Right of the Corporation. Subject to Section 7.3, the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or Executive Officer of the Corporation, or, while a director or Executive Officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

 

7.3 Authorization of Indemnification. Any indemnification under this Article VII (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director or Executive Officer is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or Executive Officer at the time of such determination, (i) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (iv) by the stockholders. Such determination shall be made, with respect to former directors and Executive Officers, by any person or persons having the authority to act on the matter on behalf of the Corporation. To the extent, however, that a present or former director or Executive Officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.

 

The Board in its sole discretion shall have power on behalf of the Corporation to indemnify any person, other than a director or Executive Officer, made a party to any Proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she, or his or her testator or intestate, is or was an officer, employee or agent of the Corporation (or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise).

 

7.4 Good Faith Defined. For purposes of any determination under Section 7.3, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful, if such person’s action is based on good faith reliance on the records or books of account of the Corporation or another enterprise, or on information supplied to such person by the officers of the Corporation or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Corporation or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Corporation or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Corporation or another enterprise. The term “another enterprise” as used in this Section 7.4 shall mean any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which such person is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent. The provisions of this Section 7.4 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 7.1 or 7.2, as the case may be.

 

7.5 Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. Notwithstanding any contrary determination in the specific case under Section 7.3, and notwithstanding the absence of any determination thereunder, if a claim under Sections 7.1 or 7.2 of the Article VII is not paid in full by the Corporation within (i) ninety (90) days after a written claim for indemnification has been received by the Corporation, or (ii) thirty (30) days after a written claim for an advancement of expenses has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter (but not before) bring suit against the Corporation in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware to recover the unpaid amount of the claim, together with interest thereon, or to obtain advancement of expenses, as applicable. It shall be a defense to any such action brought to enforce a right to indemnification (but not in an action brought to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the DGCL (or other applicable law) for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under Section 7.3 nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the claimant has not met any applicable standard of conduct. If successful, in whole or in part, the claimant shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

 

D-13

 

 

7.6 Expenses Payable in Advance. Expenses, including without limitation attorneys’ fees, incurred by a current or former director or Executive Officer in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such current or former director or Executive Officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article VII.

 

7.7 Nonexclusivity of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Article VII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the Certificate of Incorporation, any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, it being the policy of the Corporation that, subject to Section 7.11, indemnification of the persons specified in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Article VII shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in Section 7.1 or 7.2 but whom the Corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the DGCL, or otherwise.

 

7.8 Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, Executive Officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, Executive Officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power or the obligation to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Article VII.

 

7.9 Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Article VII, references to “the Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article VII with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. For purposes of this Article VII, references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect of any employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation” as referred to in this Article VII.

 

7.10 Survival of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VII shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or Executive Officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

 

7.11 Limitation on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article VII to the contrary, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification (which shall be governed by Section 7.5), the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent in connection with an action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof):

 

(a) for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of such person under any statute, insurance policy, indemnity provision, vote or otherwise, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid;

 

(b) initiated by such person, including any action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person against the Corporation or its directors, officers, employees, agents or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Board authorized the action, suit or proceeding (or relevant part thereof) prior to its initiation, (ii) the Corporation provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Corporation under applicable law, (iii) otherwise required to be made under Section 7.5 or (iv) otherwise required by applicable law; or

 

(c) if prohibited by applicable law.

 

7.12 Contract Rights. The obligations of the Corporation under this Article VII to indemnify, and advance expenses to, a person who is or was a director or Executive Officer of the Corporation shall be considered a contract between the Corporation and such person, and no modification or repeal of any provision of this Article VII shall affect, to the detriment of such person, such obligations of the Corporation in connection with a claim based on any act or failure to act occurring before such modification or repeal.

2.1.3 Underwritten Offering. If a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders so elect and advise PubCo as part of their written demand for a Demand Registration, the offering of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of an underwritten offering. In such event, the right of any Demanding Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Demanding Holder’s participation in such underwritten offering and the inclusion of such Demanding Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwritten offering to the extent provided herein. All Demanding Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwritten offering shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such underwritten offering by a majority-in-interest of the Investors initiating the Demand Registration.

 

2.1.4 Reduction of Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters for a Demand Registration that is to be an underwritten offering, in good faith, advises the PubCo and the Demanding Holders in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities which the Demanding Holders desire to sell, taken together with all other shares of Purchaser Common Stock or other securities which the PubCo desires to sell and the shares of Purchaser Common Stock or other securities, if any, as to which Registration by the PubCo has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by other security holders of the PubCo who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of shares that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities” ), then the PubCo shall include in such Registration: (i) first, the Registrable Securities as to which Demand Registration has been requested by the Demanding Holders and the Founder Securities for the account of any Persons who have exercised demand registration rights pursuant to the Founder Registration Rights Agreement during the period under which the Demand Registration hereunder is ongoing (all pro rata in accordance with the number of securities that each applicable Person has requested be included in such registration, regardless of the number of securities held by each such Person, as long as they do not request to include more securities than they own (such proportion is referred to herein as “Pro Rata”)) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i) the Registrable Securities of Investors as to which registration has been requested pursuant to Section 2.2 and the Founder Securities as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the applicable written contractual piggy-back registration rights of the Founder Registration Rights Agreement, Pro Rata among the holders thereof based on the number of securities requested by such holders to be included in such registration, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the shares of Purchaser Common Stock or other securities that the PubCo desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities. In the event that the PubCo securities that are convertible into shares of Purchaser Common Stock are included in the offering, the calculations under this Section 2.1.4 shall include such PubCo securities on an as-converted to Purchaser Common Stock basis.

 

2.1.5 Withdrawal. A Demanding Holder may withdraw all or any portion of their Registrable Securities included in a Demand Registration from such Demand Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of the Demand Registration Statement. If a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders disapprove of the terms of any underwritten offering or are not entitled to include all of their Registrable Securities in any offering, such majority- in-interest of the Demanding Holders may elect to withdraw from such offering by giving written notice to the PubCo and the Underwriter or Underwriters of their request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the SEC with respect to such Demand Registration. If the majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders withdraws from a proposed offering relating to a Demand Registration in such event, then such registration shall not count as a Demand Registration provided for in Section 2.1. Notwithstanding any such withdrawal, the PubCo shall pay all expenses incurred by the holders of Registrable Securities in connection with such Demand Registration as provided in Section 3.3.

2.2 Piggy-Back Registration.

 

2.2.1 Piggy-Back Rights.

Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.1 below, the PubCo agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Investor, and each Investor’s officers, employees, affiliates, directors, partners, members, attorneys and agents, and each Person, if any, who controls an Investor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (each, an “Investor Indemnified Party”), from and against any expenses, losses, judgments, claims, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the PubCo of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the PubCo and relating to action or inaction required of the PubCo in connection with any such registration (provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 4.1 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the PubCo, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); and the PubCo shall promptly reimburse the Investor Indemnified Party for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred by such Investor Indemnified Party in connection with investigating and defending any such expense, loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the PubCo will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, or summary prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the PubCo, in writing, by such selling holder or Investor Indemnified Party expressly for use therein. The PubCo also shall indemnify any Underwriter of the Registrable Securities, their officers, affiliates, directors, partners, members and agents and each Person who controls such Underwriter on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification provided above in this Section 4.1.

 

4.2 Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.2 below, each Investor selling Registrable Securities will, in the event that any registration is being effected under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement of any Registrable Securities held by such selling Investor, indemnify and hold harmless the PubCo, each of its directors and officers and each Underwriter (if any), and each other selling holder and each other Person, if any, who controls another selling holder or such Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, insofar as such losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, or arise out of or are based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading, if the statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the PubCo by such selling Investor expressly for use therein (provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 4.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the indemnifying Investor, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), and shall reimburse the PubCo, its directors and officers, each Underwriter and each other selling holder or controlling Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigation or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. Each selling Investor’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to the amount of any net proceeds actually received by such selling Investor in the applicable offering.

4.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any Person of any notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability or any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2, such Person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any other Person for indemnification hereunder, notify such other Person (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the loss, claim, judgment, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the failure by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder, except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification with respect to any claim or action brought against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such claim or action, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with all other Indemnifying Parties, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party if the Indemnifying Party provides notice of such to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of notice of such claim. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume control of the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that in any action in which both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are named as defendants, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (but no more than one such separate counsel) to represent the Indemnified Party and its controlling Persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by such Indemnifying Party if, based upon the written opinion of counsel of such Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (acting reasonably), consent to entry of judgment or effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such judgment or settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding.

 

4.4 Contribution.

 

4.4.1 If the indemnification provided for in the foregoing Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 is unavailable to any Indemnified Party in respect of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Parties in connection with the actions or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnified Party or such Indemnifying Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

 

4.4.2 The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding Section 4.4.1.

 

4.4.3 The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.4, no Investor holding Registrable Securities shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the net proceeds (after payment of any underwriting fees, discounts, commissions or taxes) actually received by such Investor from the sale of Registrable Securities which gave rise to such contribution obligation. Any contributions obligation of the Investors shall be several and not joint. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

5. RULE 144 AND 145.

 

5.1 Rule 144 and 145. The PubCo covenants that it shall file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and shall take such further action as Investors holding Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Investors to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 and 145 under the Securities Act, as such Rule 144 and 145 may be amended from time to time, or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of any holder of Registrable Securities, the PubCo shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to (A) whether the PubCo has filed (i) all reports and other materials required to be filed pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the PubCo was required to file such reports and materials), other than Current Reports on Form 8-K and (ii) current “Form 10 information” (within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act) with the Commission reflecting the PubCo’s status as an entity that is no longer an issuer described in paragraph (i)(1)(i) of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and (B) the first date that the PubCo filed “Form 10 information” (within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act) with the Commission.

 

G-12

 

 

6. MISCELLANEOUS.

 

6.1 Other Registration Rights. The PubCo represents and warrants that as of the date of this Agreement, no Person, other than the holders of (i) Registrable Securities, and (ii) Founder Securities, has any right to require the PubCo to register any of the PubCo’s share capital for sale or to include the PubCo’s share capital in any registration filed by the PubCo for the sale of share capital for its own account or for the account of any other Person.

 

6.2 Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the PubCo hereunder may not be assigned or delegated by the PubCo in whole or in part, unless the PubCo first provides Investors holding Registrable Securities at least ten (10) Business Days prior written notice; provided that no assignment or delegation by the PubCo will relieve the PubCo of its obligations under this Agreement unless Investors holding a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities provide their prior written consent, which consent must not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. This Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of Investors holding Registrable Securities hereunder may be freely assigned or delegated by such Investor in conjunction with and to the extent of any transfer of Registrable Securities by such Investor which is permitted by the Lock-Up Agreement; provided that no assignment by any Investor of its rights, duties and obligations hereunder shall be binding upon or obligate the PubCo unless and until the PubCo shall have received (i) written notice of such assignment and (ii) the written agreement of the assignee, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the PubCo, to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement (which may be accomplished by an addendum or certificate of joinder to this Agreement). This Agreement and the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties, to the permitted assigns of the Investors or of any assignee of the Investors. This Agreement is not intended to confer any rights or benefits on any Persons that are not party hereto other than as expressly set forth in Section 4 and this Section 6.2.

 

6.3 Notices. All notices, consents, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered (i) in person, (ii) by facsimile or other electronic means, with affirmative confirmation of receipt, (iii) one Business Day after being sent, if sent by reputable, nationally recognized overnight courier service or (iv) three (3) Business Days after being mailed, if sent by registered or certified mail, pre- paid and return receipt requested, in each case to the applicable party at the following addresses (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified by like notice):

6.4 Severability. This Agreement shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision hereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or of any other term or provision hereof. Furthermore, in lieu of any such invalid or unenforceable term or provision, the parties hereto intend that there shall be added as a part of this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible that is valid and enforceable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that a duly executed copy of this Agreement is not delivered to PubCo by a Person receiving Merger Consideration Shares in connection with the Closing, such Person failing to provide such signature shall not be a party to this Agreement or have any rights or obligations hereunder, but such failure shall not affect the rights and obligations of the other parties to this Agreement as amongst such other parties.

 

6.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Business Combination Agreement, and the Lock-Up Agreement to the extent incorporated herein, and including all agreements entered into pursuant hereto or thereto or referenced herein or therein and all certificates and instruments delivered pursuant hereto and thereto) constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations, understandings, negotiations and discussions between the parties, whether oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not affect the rights and obligations of the parties under the Business Combination Agreement or any other Ancillary Document or the rights or obligations of the parties under the Founder Registration Rights Agreement.

 

6.6 Interpretation. Titles and headings of sections of this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of any provision of this Agreement. In this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires: (i) any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa; (ii) “including” (and with correlative meaning “include”) means including without limiting the generality of any description preceding or succeeding such term and shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (iii) the words “herein,” “hereto,” and “hereby” and other words of similar import in this Agreement shall be deemed in each case to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section or other subdivision of this Agreement; and (iv) the term “or” means “and/or”. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. Consequently, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

 

G-13

 

 

6.7 Amendments; Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written agreement or consent of the PubCo (after the Closing by a majority of the Disinterested Independent Directors) and Investors holding a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities; provided, that any amendment or waiver of this Agreement which affects an Investor in a manner materially and adversely disproportionate to other Investors will also require the consent of such Investor. No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition, or provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition, or provision.

 

6.8 Remedies Cumulative. In the event a party fails to observe or perform any covenant or agreement to be observed or performed under this Agreement, the other parties may proceed to protect and enforce its rights by suit in equity or action at law, whether for specific performance of any term contained in this Agreement or for an injunction against the breach of any such term or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Agreement or to enforce any other legal or equitable right, or to take any one or more of such actions, without being required to post a bond. None of the rights, powers or remedies conferred under this Agreement shall be mutually exclusive, and each such right, power or remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right, power or remedy, whether conferred by this Agreement or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

 

6.9 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. Sections 10.6 and 10.7 of the Business Combination Agreement shall apply to this Agreement mutatis mutandis.

 

6.10 Termination of Business Combination Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon each party upon such party’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, but this Agreement shall only become effective upon the Closing. In the event that the Business Combination Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the Closing, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and become null and void and be of no further force or effect, and the parties shall have no obligations hereunder.

 

6.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts (including by facsimile or pdf or other electronic document transmission), each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

FINAL VERSION

 

LOCK-UP AGREEMENT

 

THIS LOCK-UP AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of [   ], 2026, by and between the undersigned (the “Holder”) and [*]1, a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”).

 

Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given such terms in the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) entered into by and among (i) DT Cloud Star Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Parent”), (ii) Purchaser, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent, (iii) DTSQ Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent (“Merger Sub”), and (iv) PrimeGen US, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

 

BACKGROUND

 

A. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) the Parent shall merge with and into the Purchaser, in which the Purchaser will be the surviving entity; and (ii) Merger Sub shall merge with and into the Company, in which the Company will be the surviving entity and become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Purchaser.

 

B. The Holder is the record and/or beneficial owner of Company Common Stock, Company Warrants and/or Company Stock Options, which will be converted into, exchanged for or otherwise result in the issuance of shares of Purchaser Common Stock and/or other equity securities of the Purchaser pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

 

C. As a condition of, and as a material inducement for the Parent Parties and the Company to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Holder has agreed to execute and deliver this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

 

AGREEMENT

1. Lock-Up.

 

(a) During the Lock-up Period (as defined below), the Holder irrevocably agrees that it, he or she will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of the Lock-up Shares (as defined below), enter into a transaction that would have the same effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such Lock-up Shares, whether any of these transactions are to be settled by delivery of any such Lock-up Shares, in cash or otherwise, publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge or disposition, or to enter into any transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement, or engage in any Short Sales (as defined below) with respect to any security of Purchaser (any of the foregoing, a “Prohibited Transfer”).

 

(b) In furtherance of the foregoing, Purchaser will (i) place an irrevocable stop order on all Lock-up Shares, including those which may be covered by a registration statement, and (ii) notify Purchaser’ transfer agent in writing of the stop order and the restrictions on such Lock-up Shares under this Agreement and direct Purchaser’s transfer agent not to process any attempts by the Holder to resell or transfer any Lock-up Shares, except in compliance with this Agreement.

 

(c) For purposes hereof, “Short Sales” include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges, forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, swaps and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-US broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers.

 

 

1 This should be the final agreed name of the Pubco at closing.

 

H-1

 

 

(d) For purpose of this Agreement, the “Lock-up Period” means the period commencing on the Effective Time and ending on the earlier of (i) 180 days after the Closing Date; or (ii) the date following the Closing Date on which the Purchaser completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of its stockholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property.

 

2. Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the conditions below, a Prohibited Transfer will not include, and the undersigned may transfer Lock-Up Shares in connection with (a) transfers or distributions to the Holder’s direct or indirect affiliates (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) or to the estates of any of the foregoing; (b) transfers by bona fide gift to a member of the Holder’s immediate family (for purposes of this Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean with respect to any natural person, any of the following: such person’s spouse, the siblings of such person and his or her spouse, and the direct descendants and ascendants (including adopted and step children and parents) of such person and his or her spouses and siblings) or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is the Holder or a member of the Holder’s immediate family for estate planning purposes; (c) by virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon death of the Holder; (d) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, (e) transfers to the Purchaser’s officers, directors or their affiliates, (f) transfers as a dividend or distribution to limited partners, shareholders, members of, or owners of similar equity interests in the Holder, (g) transfers pursuant to a bona fide third-party tender offer, merger, stock sale, recapitalization, consolidation or other transaction involving a change of control of Purchaser; provided, however, that in the event that such tender offer, merger, recapitalization, consolidation or other such transaction is not completed, the Lock-Up Shares subject to this Agreement shall remain subject to this Agreement, (h) the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that such plan does not provide for the transfer of Lock-Up Shares during the Lock-Up Period; (i) transfers to the Holder’s equity owners upon the Holder’s liquidation, in the case if the Holder is an entity; (j) transfers in connection with the consummation, after the Closing Date, of any liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction of the Purchaser that results in all holders of Purchaser Common Stock having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property; provided, however, that, in the case of any transfer pursuant to the foregoing (a) through (j) clauses, it shall be a condition to any such transfer that (i) the transferee/donee agrees to enter into a written agreement in substantially the form of this Agreement and to be bound by the terms of this Agreement (including the restrictions set forth in Section 1) to the same extent as if the transferee/donee were a party hereto; and (ii) each party (donor, donee, transferor or transferee) shall not be required by law (including the disclosure requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) to make, and shall agree to not voluntarily make, any filing or public announcement of the transfer or disposition prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period.

 

In addition, all Lock-up Shares shall be released from the restrictions contained herein, if (i) the reported closing price of the Purchaser Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 90 days after the Closing Date, (ii) after the Closing Date, there is a Change of Control, then upon the consummation of such Change of Control or (iii) the Purchaser completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction after the Closing Date that results in all of its stockholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property. A “Change of Control” means: (a) the sale of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of Purchaser and Purchaser subsidiaries to a third-party purchaser; (b) a sale resulting in no less than a majority of the voting power of the Purchaser being held by person that did not own a majority of the voting power prior to such sale; or (c) a merger, consolidation, recapitalization or reorganization of Purchaser with or into a third-party purchaser that results in the inability of the pre-transaction equity holders to designate or elect a majority of the board of directors (or its equivalent) of the resulting entity or its parent company.

 

3. Representations and Warranties. Each of the parties hereto, by their respective execution and delivery of this Agreement, hereby represents and warrants to the others and to all third party beneficiaries of this Agreement that (a) such party has the full right, capacity and authority to enter into, deliver and perform its respective obligations under this Agreement, (b) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such party and is the binding and enforceable obligation of such party, enforceable against such party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (c) the execution, delivery and performance of such party’s obligations under this Agreement will not conflict with or breach the terms of any other agreement, contract, commitment or understanding to which such party is a party or to which the assets or securities of such party are bound.

 

H-2

 

 

4. Beneficial Ownership. The Holder hereby represents and warrants that it does not beneficially own, directly or through its nominees (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder), any shares of capital stock of Purchaser, or any economic interest in or derivative of such stock, other than those securities specified on the signature page hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, “Lock-up Shares” shall mean, with respect to each Holder, (i) the Purchaser Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder as specified on the signature hereto, (ii) any Purchaser Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of options or warrants to purchase Purchaser Common Stock held by such Holder immediately after Effective Time (along with such options or warrants themselves), and (iii) any Purchaser Common Stock acquirable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Purchaser Common Stock held by such Holder immediately after the Effective Time (along with such securities themselves).

 

5. No Additional Fees/Payment. Other than the consideration specifically referenced herein, the parties hereto agree that no fee, payment or additional consideration in any form has been or will be paid to the Holder in connection with this Agreement.

 

6. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) when delivered in person, (ii) when delivered after posting in the mail in the United States mail having been sent registered or certified mail receipt requested, postage pre-paid, (iii) when delivered by FedEx or other nationally recognized overnight courier or delivery service or (iv) when e-mailed during normal business hours (and otherwise as of the immediately following business day) to the Company and Purchaser in accordance with Section 10.2 of the Merger Agreement and to each Holder at its address set forth on the signature page hereto (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified by like notice).

 

7. Enumeration and Headings. The enumeration and headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

 

8. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in facsimile and in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same agreement.

 

9. Successors and Assigns. No party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other parties. Any purported assignment in violation of this paragraph shall be void and ineffectual and shall not operate to transfer or assign any interest or title to the purported assignee. This Agreement and the terms, covenants, provisions and conditions hereof shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the respective heirs, successors and assigns of the parties hereto. The Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement is entered into for the benefit of and is enforceable by Purchaser and its successors and assigns.

 

10. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such provision will be conformed to prevailing law rather than voided, if possible, in order to achieve the intent of the parties and, in any event, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall be binding upon the parties hereto.

 

11. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified by written agreement executed by each of the parties hereto.

 

12. Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

13. No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

 

14. Governing Law. Section 10.5, Section 10.6, and Section 10.7 of the Merger Agreement are incorporated by reference herein to apply with full force to any disputes arising under this Agreement.

 

15. Controlling Agreement. To the extent the terms of this Agreement (as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time) directly conflicts with a provision in the Merger Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

The Committee shall have the power to delegate to a subcommittee any of the administrative powers the Committee is authorized to exercise (and references in this Plan to the Board or the Committee shall thereafter be to the committee or subcommittee), subject, however, to such resolutions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as may be adopted from time to time by the Board.

Nothing herein shall create an inference that an Award is not validly granted under the Plan in the event Awards are granted under the Plan by a compensation committee of the Board that does not at all times consist solely of two or more Non-Employee Directors.

 

3.5 Indemnification. In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as Directors or members of the Committee, and to the extent allowed by Applicable Laws, the Committee shall be indemnified by the Company against the reasonable expenses, including attorney’s fees, actually incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding or in connection with any appeal therein, to which the Committee may be party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan, and against all amounts paid by the Committee in settlement thereof (provided, however, that the settlement has been approved by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) or paid by the Committee in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding that such Committee did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company, or in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reason to believe that the conduct complained of was unlawful; provided, however, that within 60 days after the institution of any such action, suit or proceeding, such Committee shall, in writing, offer the Company the opportunity at its own expense to handle and defend such action, suit or proceeding.

Substitute Awards shall not be counted against the Total Share Reserve; provided, that, Substitute Awards issued in connection with the assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding options intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options shall be counted against the ISO limit. Subject to applicable stock exchange requirements, available shares under a stockholder-approved plan of an entity directly or indirectly acquired by the Company or with which the Company combines (as appropriately adjusted to reflect such acquisition or transaction) may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not count toward the Total Share Limit.

5.2 Ten Percent Stockholders. A Ten Percent Stockholder shall not be granted an Incentive Stock Option unless the Stock Option Exercise Price is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Grant Date and the Stock Option is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the Grant Date.

Each Stock Option so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 6, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement. All Stock Options shall be separately designated Incentive Stock Options or Non-qualified Stock Options at the time of grant, and, if certificates are issued, a separate certificate or certificates will be issued for shares of Common Stock purchased on exercise of each type of Stock Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no liability to any Participant or any other person if a Stock Option designated as an Incentive Stock Option fails to qualify as such at any time or if a Stock Option is determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the terms of such Stock Option do not satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The provisions of separate Stock Options need not be identical, but each Stock Option shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the Stock Option or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:

 

6.1 Term. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.2 regarding Ten Percent Stockholders, no Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from the Grant Date. The term of a Non-qualified Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however, no Non-qualified Stock Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from the Grant Date.

 

6.2 Exercise Price of an Incentive Stock Option. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.2 regarding Ten Percent Stockholders, the Stock Option Exercise Price of each Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Incentive Stock Option on the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Incentive Stock Option may be granted with a Stock Option Exercise Price lower than that set forth in the preceding sentence if such Incentive Stock Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code.

 

6.3 Exercise Price of a Non-qualified Stock Option. The Stock Option Exercise Price of each Non-qualified Stock Option shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Non-qualified Stock Option on the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Non-qualified Stock Option may be granted with a Stock Option Exercise Price lower than that set forth in the preceding sentence if such Non-qualified Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section 409A of the Code.

 

I-11

 

 

6.4 Consideration. The Stock Option Exercise Price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to a Stock Option shall be paid, to the extent permitted by applicable statutes and regulations, either (a) in cash or by certified or bank check at the time the Stock Option is exercised or (b) in the discretion of the Committee, upon such terms as the Committee shall approve, the Stock Option Exercise Price may be paid: (i) by delivery to the Company of other Common Stock, duly endorsed for transfer to the Company, with a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal to the Stock Option Exercise Price (or portion thereof) due for the number of shares being acquired, or by means of attestation whereby the Participant identifies for delivery specific shares of Common Stock that have an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of attestation equal to the Stock Option Exercise Price (or portion thereof) and receives a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the difference between the number of shares thereby purchased and the number of identified attestation shares of Common Stock (a “Stock for Stock Exchange”); (ii) a “cashless” exercise program established with a broker; (iii) by reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon exercise of such Stock Option with a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate Stock Option Exercise Price at the time of exercise; (iv) by any combination of the foregoing methods; or (v) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Committee. Unless otherwise specifically provided in the Stock Option, the exercise price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to a Stock Option that is paid by delivery (or attestation) to the Company of other Common Stock acquired, directly or indirectly from the Company, shall be paid only by shares of the Common Stock of the Company that have been held for more than six (6) months (or such longer or shorter period of time required to avoid a charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes). Notwithstanding the foregoing, during any period for which the Common Stock is publicly traded (i.e., the Common Stock is listed on any established stock exchange or a national market system) an exercise by a Director or Officer that involves or may involve a direct or indirect extension of credit or arrangement of an extension of credit by the Company, directly or indirectly, in violation of Section 402(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 shall be prohibited with respect to any Award under this Plan.

 

6.5 Transferability of an Incentive Stock Option. An Incentive Stock Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Stock Option Holder only by the Stock Option Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stock Option Holder may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the Stock Option Holder, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Stock Option.

 

6.6 Transferability of a Non-qualified Stock Option. A Non-qualified Stock Option may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, be transferable to a Permitted Transferee, upon written approval by the Committee to the extent provided in the Award Agreement. If the Non-qualified Stock Option does not provide for transferability, then the Non-qualified Stock Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Stock Option Holder only by the Stock Option Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stock Option Holder may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the Stock Option Holder, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Stock Option.

 

6.7 Vesting of Stock Options. Each Stock Option may, but need not, vest and therefore become exercisable in periodic installments that may, but need not, be equal. The Stock Option may be subject to such other terms and conditions on the time or times when it may be exercised (which may be based on performance or other criteria) as the Committee may deem appropriate. The vesting provisions of individual Stock Options may vary. No Stock Option may be exercised for a fraction of a share of Common Stock. The Committee may, but shall not be required to, provide for an acceleration of vesting and exercisability in the terms of any Award Agreement upon the occurrence of a specified event.

 

6.8 Termination of Continuous Service. Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement or in an employment agreement the terms of which have been approved by the Committee, in the event a Stock Option Holder’s Continuous Service terminates (other than upon the Stock Option Holder’s death or Disability), the Stock Option Holder may exercise his or her Stock Option (to the extent that the Stock Option Holder was entitled to exercise such Stock Option as of the date of termination) but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (a) the date three months following the termination of the Stock Option Holder’s Continuous Service or (b) the expiration of the term of the Stock Option as set forth in the Award Agreement; provided that, if the termination of Continuous Service is by the Company for Cause, all outstanding Stock Options (whether or not vested) shall immediately terminate and cease to be exercisable. If, after termination, the Stock Option Holder does not exercise his or her Stock Option within the time specified in the Award Agreement, the Stock Option shall terminate. This Section 6.8 shall not apply to any Previous Awards.

 

I-12

 

 

6.9 Extension of Termination Date. A Stock Option Holder’s Award Agreement may also provide that if the exercise of the Stock Option following the termination of the Stock Option Holder’s Continuous Service for any reason would be prohibited at any time because the issuance of shares of Common Stock would violate the registration requirements under the Securities Act or any other state or federal securities law or the rules of any securities exchange or interdealer quotation system, then the Stock Option shall terminate on the earlier of (a) the expiration of the term of the Stock Option in accordance with Section 6.1 or (b) the expiration of a period after termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service that is three months after the end of the period during which the exercise of the Stock Option would be in violation of such registration or other securities law requirements. This Section 6.9 shall not apply to any Previous Awards.

 

6.10 Disability of Stock Option Holder. Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, in the event that a Stock Option Holder’s Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Stock Option Holder’s Disability, the Stock Option Holder may exercise his or her Stock Option (to the extent that the Stock Option Holder was entitled to exercise such Stock Option as of the date of termination), but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (a) the date 12 months following such termination or (b) the expiration of the term of the Stock Option as set forth in the Award Agreement. If, after termination, the Stock Option Holder does not exercise his or her Stock Option within the time specified herein or in the Award Agreement, the Stock Option shall terminate. This Section 6.10 shall not apply to any Previous Awards.

 

6.11 Death of Stock Option Holder. Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, in the event a Stock Option Holder’s Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Stock Option Holder’s death, then the Stock Option may be exercised (to the extent the Stock Option Holder was entitled to exercise such Stock Option as of the date of death) by the Stock Option Holder’s estate, by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Stock Option by bequest or inheritance or by a person designated to exercise the Stock Option upon the Stock Option Holder’s death, but only within the period ending on the earlier of (a) the date 12 months following the date of death or (b) the expiration of the term of such Stock Option as set forth in the Award Agreement. If, after the Stock Option Holder’s death, the Stock Option is not exercised within the time specified herein or in the Award Agreement, the Stock Option shall terminate. This Section 6.11 shall not apply to any Previous Awards.

 

6.12 Incentive Stock Option $100,000 Limitation. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time of grant) of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Stock Option Holder during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and its Affiliates) exceeds $100,000, the Stock Options or portions thereof which exceed such limit (according to the order in which they were granted) shall be treated as Non-qualified Stock Options.

 

7. Stock Appreciation Rights. Each Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each Stock Appreciation Right so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 7, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted alone (“Free Standing Rights”) or in tandem with a Stock Option granted under the Plan (“Related Rights”).

 

I-13

 

 

7.1 Grant Requirements for Related Rights.  Any Related Right that relates to a Non-qualified Stock Option may be granted at the same time the Stock Option is granted or at any time thereafter but before the exercise or expiration of the Stock Option. Any Related Right that relates to an Incentive Stock Option must be granted at the same time the Incentive Stock Option is granted.

 

7.2 Term. The term of a Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however, no Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable later than the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date.

 

7.3 Vesting. Each Stock Appreciation Right may, but need not, vest and therefore become exercisable in periodic installments that may, but need not, be equal. The Stock Appreciation Right may be subject to such other terms and conditions on the time or times when it may be exercised as the Committee may deem appropriate. The vesting provisions of individual Stock Appreciation Rights may vary. No Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised for a fraction of a share of Common Stock. The Committee may, but shall not be required to, provide for an acceleration of vesting and exercisability in the terms of any Stock Appreciation Right upon the occurrence of a specified event.

 

7.4 Exercise and Payment. Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the holder shall be entitled to receive from the Company an amount equal to the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Stock Appreciation Right that is being exercised multiplied by the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date the Award is exercised, over (ii) the exercise price specified in the Stock Appreciation Right or related Stock Option. Payment with respect to the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right shall be made on the date of exercise. Payment shall be made in the form of shares of Common Stock (with or without restrictions as to substantial risk of forfeiture and transferability, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion), cash or a combination thereof, as determined by the Committee.

 

7.5 Exercise Price. The exercise price of a Free Standing Right shall be determined by the Committee, but shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the Grant Date of such Stock Appreciation Right. A Related Right granted simultaneously with or subsequent to the grant of a Stock Option and in conjunction therewith or in the alternative thereto shall have the same exercise price as the related Stock Option, shall be transferable only upon the same terms and conditions as the related Stock Option, and shall be exercisable only to the same extent as the related Stock Option; provided, however, that a Stock Appreciation Right, by its terms, shall be exercisable only when the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock subject to the Stock Appreciation Right and related Stock Option exceeds the exercise price per share thereof and no Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted in tandem with a Stock Option unless the Committee determines that the requirements of Section 7.1 are satisfied.

 

7.6 Reduction in the Underlying Shares of Stock Option. Upon any exercise of a Related Right, the number of shares of Common Stock for which any related Stock Option shall be exercisable shall be reduced by the number of shares for which the Stock Appreciation Right has been exercised. The number of shares of Common Stock for which a Related Right shall be exercisable shall be reduced upon any exercise of any related Stock Option by the number of shares of Common Stock for which such Stock Option has been exercised.

 

8. Restricted Awards. A Restricted Award is an Award of actual shares of Common Stock (“Restricted Stock”) or hypothetical Common Stock units (“Restricted Stock Units”) having a value equal to the Fair Market Value of an identical number of shares of Common Stock, which may, but need not, provide that such Restricted Award may not be sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of, pledged or hypothecated as collateral for a loan or as security for the performance of any obligation or for any other purpose for such period (the “Restricted Period”) as the Committee shall determine. Each Restricted Award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each Restricted Award so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 8, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement.

 

I-14

 

 

8.1 Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units.

 

(a) Each Participant granted Restricted Stock shall execute and deliver to the Company an Award Agreement with respect to the Restricted Stock setting forth the restrictions and other terms and conditions applicable to such Restricted Stock. If the Committee determines that the Restricted Stock shall be held by the Company or in escrow rather than delivered to the Participant pending the release of the applicable restrictions, the Committee may require the Participant to additionally execute and deliver to the Company (A) an escrow agreement satisfactory to the Committee, if applicable and (B) the appropriate blank stock power with respect to the Restricted Stock covered by such agreement. If a Participant fails to execute an agreement evidencing an Award of Restricted Stock and, if applicable, an escrow agreement and stock power, the Award shall be null and void. Subject to the restrictions set forth in the Award, the Participant generally shall have the rights and privileges of a stockholder as to such Restricted Stock, including the right to vote such Restricted Stock and the right to receive dividends.

 

(b) The terms and conditions of a grant of Restricted Stock Units shall be reflected in an Award Agreement. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued at the time a Restricted Stock Unit is granted, and the Company will not be required to set aside funds for the payment of any such Award. A Participant shall have no voting rights with respect to any Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder. The Committee may also grant Restricted Stock Units with a deferral feature, whereby settlement is deferred beyond the vesting date until the occurrence of a future payment date or event set forth in an Award Agreement (“Deferred Stock Units”). At the discretion of the Committee, each Restricted Stock Unit or Deferred Stock Unit (representing one share of Common Stock) may be credited with an amount equal to the cash and stock dividends paid by the Company in respect of one share of Common Stock (“Dividend Equivalents”). Dividend Equivalents shall be withheld by the Company and credited to the Participant’s account, and interest may be credited on the amount of cash Dividend Equivalents credited to the Participant’s account at a rate and subject to such terms as determined by the Committee. Dividend Equivalents credited to a Participant’s account and attributable to any particular Restricted Stock Unit or Deferred Stock Unit (and earnings thereon, if applicable) shall be distributed in cash or, at the discretion of the Committee, in shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such Dividend Equivalents and earnings, if applicable, to the Participant upon settlement of such Restricted Stock Unit or Deferred Stock Unit and, if such Restricted Stock Unit or Deferred Stock Unit is forfeited, the Participant shall have no right to such Dividend Equivalents.

 

8.2 Restrictions.

 

(a) Restricted Stock awarded to a Participant shall be subject to the following restrictions until the expiration of the Restricted Period, and to such other terms and conditions as may be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement: (A) if an escrow arrangement is used, the Participant shall not be entitled to delivery of the stock certificate; (B) the shares shall be subject to the restrictions on transferability set forth in the Award Agreement; (C) the shares shall be subject to forfeiture to the extent provided in the applicable Award Agreement; and (D) to the extent such shares are forfeited, the stock certificates shall be returned to the Company, and all rights of the Participant to such shares and as a stockholder with respect to such shares shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company.

 

I-15

 

 

(b) Restricted Stock Units and Deferred Stock Units awarded to any Participant shall be subject to (A) forfeiture until the expiration of the Restricted Period, and satisfaction of any applicable Performance Goals during such period, to the extent provided in the applicable Award Agreement, and to the extent such Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units are forfeited, all rights of the Participant to such Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company and (B) such other terms and conditions as may be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

 

(c) The Committee shall have the authority to remove any or all of the restrictions on the Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units and Deferred Stock Units whenever it may determine that, by reason of changes in Applicable Laws or other changes in circumstances arising after the date the Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units are granted, such action is appropriate.

 

8.3 Restricted Period. With respect to Restricted Awards, the Restricted Period shall commence on the Grant Date and end at the time or times set forth on a schedule established by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement. No Restricted Award may be granted or settled for a fraction of a share of Common Stock. The Committee may, but shall not be required to, provide for an acceleration of vesting in the terms of any Award Agreement upon the occurrence of a specified event.

 

8.4 Delivery of Restricted Stock and Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any shares of Restricted Stock, the restrictions set forth in Section 8.2 and the applicable Award Agreement shall be of no further force or effect with respect to such shares, except as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. If an escrow arrangement is used, upon such expiration, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, or his or her beneficiary, without charge, the stock certificate evidencing the shares of Restricted Stock which have not then been forfeited and with respect to which the Restricted Period has expired (to the nearest full share) and any cash dividends or stock dividends credited to the Participant’s account with respect to such Restricted Stock and the interest thereon, if any. Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any outstanding Restricted Stock Units, or at the expiration of the deferral period with respect to any outstanding Deferred Stock Units, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, or his or her beneficiary, without charge, one share of Common Stock for each such outstanding vested Restricted Stock Unit or Deferred Stock Unit (“Vested Unit”) and cash equal to any Dividend Equivalents credited with respect to each such Vested Unit in accordance with Section 8.1(b) hereof and the interest thereon or, at the discretion of the Committee, in shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to such Dividend Equivalents and the interest thereon, if any; provided, however, that, if explicitly provided in the applicable Award Agreement, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay cash or part cash and part Common Stock in lieu of delivering only shares of Common Stock for Vested Units. If a cash payment is made in lieu of delivering shares of Common Stock, the amount of such payment shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock as of the date on which the Restricted Period lapsed in the case of Restricted Stock Units, or the delivery date in the case of Deferred Stock Units, with respect to each Vested Unit.

 

8.5 Stock Restrictions. Each certificate representing Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan shall bear a legend in such form as the Company deems appropriate.

 

I-16

 

 

9. Performance Share Awards. Each Performance Share Award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each Performance Share Award so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 9, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement. The Committee shall have the discretion to determine: (i) the number of shares of Common Stock or stock-denominated units subject to a Performance Share Award granted to any Participant; (ii) the Performance Period applicable to any Award; (iii) the conditions that must be satisfied for a Participant to earn an Award; and (iv) the other terms, conditions and restrictions of the Award.

 

9.1 Earning Performance Share Awards The number of Performance Shares earned by a Participant will depend on the extent to which the performance goals established by the Committee are attained within the applicable Performance Period, as determined by the Committee.

 

10. Other Equity-Based Awards and Cash Awards. The Committee may grant Other Equity-Based Awards, either alone or in tandem with other Awards, in such amounts and subject to such conditions as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion. Each Equity-Based Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement and shall be subject to such conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement. The Committee may grant Cash Awards in such amounts and subject to such Performance Goals, other vesting conditions, and such other terms as the Committee determines in its discretion. Cash Awards shall be evidenced in such form as the Committee may determine.

 

11. Securities Law Compliance. Each Award Agreement shall provide that no shares of Common Stock shall be purchased or sold thereunder unless and until (a) any then applicable requirements of state or federal laws and regulatory agencies have been fully complied with to the satisfaction of the Company and its counsel and (b) if required to do so by the Company, the Participant has executed and delivered to the Company a letter of investment intent in such form and containing such provisions as the Committee may require. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to seek to obtain from each regulatory commission or agency having jurisdiction over the Plan such authority as may be required to grant Awards and to issue and sell shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Awards; provided, however, that this undertaking shall not require the Company to register under the Securities Act the Plan, any Award or any Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to any such Award. If, after reasonable efforts, the Company is unable to obtain from any such regulatory commission or agency the authority which counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of Common Stock under the Plan, the Company shall be relieved from any liability for failure to issue and sell Common Stock upon exercise of such Awards unless and until such authority is obtained.

 

12. Use of Proceeds from Stock. Proceeds from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to Awards, or upon exercise thereof, shall constitute general funds of the Company.

 

13. Miscellaneous.

 

13.1 Acceleration of Exercisability and Vesting. The Committee shall have the power to accelerate the time at which an Award may first be exercised or the time during which an Award or any part thereof will vest in accordance with the Plan, notwithstanding the provisions in the Award stating the time at which it may first be exercised or the time during which it will vest.

 

13.2 Stockholder Rights. Except as provided in the Plan or an Award Agreement, no Participant shall be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares of Common Stock subject to such Award unless and until such Participant has satisfied all requirements for exercise of the Award pursuant to its terms and no adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property) or distributions of other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such Common Stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 14 hereof.

 

I-17

 

 

13.3 No Employment or Other Service Rights. Nothing in the Plan or any instrument executed or Award granted pursuant thereto shall confer upon any Participant any right to continue to serve the Company or an Affiliate in the capacity in effect at the time the Award was granted or shall affect the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate (a) the employment of an Employee with or without notice and with or without Cause or (b) the service of a Director pursuant to the By-laws of the Company or an Affiliate, and any applicable provisions of the corporate law of the state in which the Company or the Affiliate is incorporated, as the case may be.

 

13.4 Transfer; Approved Leave of Absence. For purposes of the Plan, no termination of employment by an Employee shall be deemed to result from either (a) a transfer of employment to the Company from an Affiliate or from the Company to an Affiliate, or from one Affiliate to another, or (b) an approved leave of absence for military service or sickness, or for any other purpose approved by the Company, if the Employee’s right to reemployment is guaranteed either by a statute or by contract or under the policy pursuant to which the leave of absence was granted or if the Committee otherwise so provides in writing, in either case, except to the extent inconsistent with Section 409A of the Code if the applicable Award is subject thereto.

 

13.5 Withholding Obligations. To the extent provided by the terms of an Award Agreement and subject to the discretion of the Committee, the Participant may satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding obligation relating to the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under an Award by any of the following means (in addition to the Company’s right to withhold from any compensation paid to the Participant by the Company) or by a combination of such means: (a) tendering a cash payment; (b) authorizing the Company to withhold shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Participant as a result of the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under the Award, provided, however, that no shares of Common Stock are withheld with a value exceeding the maximum amount of tax required to be withheld by law; or (c) delivering to the Company previously owned and unencumbered shares of Common Stock of the Company.

 

14. Adjustments Upon Changes in Stock. In the event of changes in the outstanding Common Stock or in the capital structure of the Company by reason of any stock or extraordinary cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, an extraordinary corporate transaction such as any recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange, or other relevant change in capitalization occurring after the Grant Date of any Award, Awards granted under the Plan and any Award Agreements, the exercise price of Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, the Performance Goals to which Performance Share Awards and Cash Awards are subject, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to all Awards stated in Section 4 will be equitably adjusted or substituted, as to the number, price or kind of a share of Common Stock or other consideration subject to such Awards to the extent necessary to preserve the economic intent of such Award. In the case of adjustments made pursuant to this Section 14, unless the Committee specifically determines that such adjustment is in the best interests of the Company or its Affiliates, the Committee shall, in the case of Incentive Stock Options, ensure that any adjustments under this Section 14 will not constitute a modification, extension or renewal of the Incentive Stock Options within the meaning of Section 424(h)(3) of the Code and in the case of Non-qualified Stock Options, ensure that any adjustments under this Section 14 will not constitute a modification of such Non-qualified Stock Options within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Any adjustments made under this Section 14 shall be made in a manner which does not adversely affect the exemption provided pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. The Company shall give each Participant notice of an adjustment hereunder and, upon notice, such adjustment shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes.

 

I-18

 

 

15. Effect of Change in Control.

 

15.1 Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary:

 

(a) In the event of a Change in Control, all outstanding Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall become immediately exercisable with respect to 100% of the shares subject to such Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, and/or the Restricted Period shall expire immediately with respect to 100% of the outstanding shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units.

 

(b) With respect to Performance Share Awards and Cash Awards, in the event of a Change in Control, all incomplete Performance Periods in respect of such Awards in effect on the date the Change in Control occurs shall end on the date of such change and the Committee shall (i) determine the extent to which Performance Goals with respect to each such Performance Period have been met based upon such audited or unaudited financial information then available as it deems relevant and (ii) cause to be paid to the applicable Participant partial or full Awards with respect to Performance Goals for each such Performance Period based upon the Committee’s determination of the degree of attainment of Performance Goals or, if not determinable, assuming that the applicable “target” levels of performance have been attained, or on such other basis determined by the Committee.

 

To the extent practicable, any actions taken by the Committee under the immediately preceding clauses (a) and (b) shall occur in a manner and at a time which allows affected Participants the ability to participate in the Change in Control with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to their Awards.

 

15.2 In addition, in the event of a Change in Control, the Committee may in its discretion and upon at least 10 days’ advance notice to the affected persons, cancel any outstanding Awards and pay to the holders thereof, in cash or stock, or any combination thereof, the value of such Awards based upon the price per share of Common Stock received or to be received by other stockholders of the Company in the event. In the case of any Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right with an exercise price (or SAR Exercise Price in the case of a Stock Appreciation Right) that equals or exceeds the price paid for a share of Common Stock in connection with the Change in Control, the Committee may cancel the Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right without the payment of consideration therefor.

 

15.3 The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be binding upon any successor corporation or organization resulting from the merger, consolidation or other reorganization of the Company, or upon any successor corporation or organization succeeding to all or substantially all of the assets and business of the Company and its Affiliates, taken as a whole.

 

16. Amendment of the Plan and Awards.

 

16.1 Amendment of Plan. The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend or terminate the Plan. However, except as provided in Section 14 relating to adjustments upon changes in Common Stock and Section 16.3, no amendment shall be effective unless approved by the stockholders of the Company to the extent stockholder approval is necessary to satisfy any Applicable Laws. At the time of such amendment, the Board shall determine, upon advice from counsel, whether such amendment will be contingent on stockholder approval.

 

16.2 Stockholder Approval. The Board may, in its sole discretion, submit any other amendment to the Plan for stockholder approval.

 

I-19

 

 

16.3 Contemplated Amendments. It is expressly contemplated that the Board may amend the Plan in any respect the Board deems necessary or advisable to provide eligible Employees, Directors and Consultants with the maximum benefits provided or to be provided under the provisions of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder relating to Incentive Stock Options or to the nonqualified deferred compensation provisions of Section 409A of the Code and/or to bring the Plan and/or Awards granted under it into compliance therewith.

 

16.4 No Impairment of Rights. Rights under any Award granted before amendment of the Plan shall not be impaired by any amendment of the Plan unless (a) the Company requests the consent of the Participant and (b) the Participant consents in writing.

 

16.5 Amendment of Awards. The Committee at any time, and from time to time, may amend the terms of any one or more Awards; provided, however, that the Committee may not affect any amendment which would otherwise constitute an impairment of the rights under any Award unless (a) the Company requests the consent of the Participant and (b) the Participant consents in writing.

 

17. General Provisions.

 

17.1 Forfeiture Events. The Committee may specify in an Award Agreement that the Participant’s rights, payments and benefits with respect to an Award shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain events, in addition to applicable vesting conditions of an Award. Such events may include, without limitation, breach of non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality, or other restrictive covenants that are contained in the Award Agreement or otherwise applicable to the Participant, a termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service for Cause, or other conduct by the Participant that is detrimental to the business or reputation of the Company and/or its Affiliates.

 

17.2 Clawback. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Plan, the Company may cancel any Award, require reimbursement of any Award by a Participant, and effect any other right of recoupment of equity or other compensation provided under the Plan in accordance with any Company policies that may be adopted and/or modified from time to time (“Clawback Policy”). In addition, a Participant may be required to repay to the Company previously paid compensation, whether provided pursuant to the Plan or an Award Agreement, in accordance with the Clawback Policy. By accepting an Award, the Participant is agreeing to be bound by the Clawback Policy, as in effect or as may be adopted and/or modified from time to time by the Company in its discretion (including, without limitation, to comply with applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements).

 

17.3 Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to stockholder approval if such approval is required; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

 

17.4 Sub-Plans. The Committee may from time to time establish sub-plans under the Plan for purposes of satisfying securities, tax or other laws of various jurisdictions in which the Company intends to grant Awards. Any sub-plans shall contain such limitations and other terms and conditions as the Committee determines are necessary or desirable. All sub-plans shall be deemed a part of the Plan, but each sub-plan shall apply only to the Participants in the jurisdiction for which the sub-plan was designed.

 

17.5 Deferral of Awards. The Committee may, in accordance with Section 409A of the Code, establish one or more programs under the Plan to permit selected Participants the opportunity to elect to defer receipt of consideration upon exercise of an Award, satisfaction of performance criteria, or other event that absent the election would entitle the Participant to payment or receipt of shares of Common Stock or other consideration under an Award. The Committee may establish the election procedures, the timing of such elections, the mechanisms for payments of, and accrual of interest or other earnings, if any, on amounts, shares or other consideration so deferred, and such other terms, conditions, rules and procedures that the Committee deems advisable for the administration of any such deferral program.

17.6 Unfunded Plan. The Plan shall be unfunded. Neither the Company, the Board nor the Committee shall be required to establish any special or separate fund or to segregate any assets to assure the performance of its obligations under the Plan.

 

17.7 Recapitalizations. Each Award Agreement shall contain provisions required to reflect the provisions of Section 14.

 

17.8 Delivery. Upon exercise of a right granted under this Plan, the Company shall issue Common Stock or pay any amounts due within a reasonable period of time thereafter. Subject to any statutory or regulatory obligations the Company may otherwise have, for purposes of this Plan, 30 days shall be considered a reasonable period of time.

 

17.9 No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan. The Committee shall determine whether cash, additional Awards or other securities or property shall be issued or paid in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock or whether any fractional shares should be rounded, forfeited or otherwise eliminated.

 

17.10 Other Provisions. The Award Agreements authorized under the Plan may contain such other provisions not inconsistent with this Plan, including, without limitation, restrictions upon the exercise of Awards, as the Committee may deem advisable.

 

17.11 Section 409A. The Plan is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Plan shall be interpreted and administered to be in compliance therewith. Any payments described in the Plan that are due within the “short-term deferral period” as defined in Section 409A of the Code shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless Applicable Laws require otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, to the extent required to avoid accelerated taxation and tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to the Plan during the six (6) month period immediately following the Participant’s termination of Continuous Service shall instead be paid on the first payroll date after the six-month anniversary of the Participant’s separation from service (or the Participant’s death, if earlier). Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor the Committee shall have any obligation to take any action to prevent the assessment of any additional tax or penalty on any Participant under Section 409A of the Code and neither the Company nor the Committee will have any liability to any Participant for such tax or penalty.

 

17.12 Disqualifying Dispositions. Any Participant who shall make a “disposition” (as defined in Section 424 of the Code) of all or any portion of shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option within two years from the Grant Date of such Incentive Stock Option or within one year after the issuance of the shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of such Incentive Stock Option (a “Disqualifying Disposition”) shall be required to immediately advise the Company in writing as to the occurrence of the sale and the price realized upon the sale of such shares of Common Stock.

 

17.13 Section 16. It is the intent of the Company that the Plan satisfy, and be interpreted in a manner that satisfies, the applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3 as promulgated under Section 16 of the Exchange Act so that Participants will be entitled to the benefit of Rule 16b-3, or any other rule promulgated under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and will not be subject to short-swing liability under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, if the operation of any provision of the Plan would conflict with the intent expressed in this Section 17.13, such provision to the extent possible shall be interpreted and/or deemed amended so as to avoid such conflict.

 

I-21

 

 

17.14 Beneficiary Designation. Each Participant under the Plan may from time to time name any beneficiary or beneficiaries by whom any right under the Plan is to be exercised in case of such Participant’s death. Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form reasonably prescribed by the Committee and shall be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Company during the Participant’s lifetime.

 

17.15 Expenses. The costs of administering the Plan shall be paid by the Company.

 

17.16 Severability. If any of the provisions of the Plan or any Award Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, whether in whole or in part, such provision shall be deemed modified to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability and the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby.

 

17.17 Plan Headings. The headings in the Plan are for purposes of convenience only and are not intended to define or limit the construction of the provisions hereof.

 

17.18 Non-Uniform Treatment. The Committee’s determinations under the Plan need not be uniform and may be made by it selectively among persons who are eligible to receive, or actually receive, Awards. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee shall be entitled to make non-uniform and selective determinations, amendments and adjustments, and to enter into non-uniform and selective Award Agreements.

 

18. Effective Date of Plan. The Plan shall become effective as of the Effective Date, but no Award shall be exercised (or, in the case of a stock Award, shall be granted) unless and until the Plan has been approved by the stockholders of the Company, which approval shall be within twelve (12) months before or after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board.

 

19. Termination or Suspension of the Plan. The Plan shall terminate automatically on the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date. No Award shall be granted pursuant to the Plan after such date, but Awards theretofore granted may extend beyond that date. The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any earlier date pursuant to Section 16.1 hereof. No Awards may be granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated.

 

20. Choice of Law. The law of the State of [Delaware] shall govern all questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Plan, without regard to such state’s conflict of law rules.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

 

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Pubco and PGUS are each a Delaware corporation. Section 145 of the DGCL provides, in general, that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party (or is threatened to be made a party) to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), because he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. A Delaware corporation may also indemnify directors, officers, employees and other agents of such corporation in an action by or in the right of the corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the person to be indemnified has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation. The DGCL provides that Section 145 of the DGCL is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

 

Pubco’s and PGUS’s Bylaws each contain provisions that require it to indemnify any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person, or a person for whom such person is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of such entity or, while a director or officer of such entity, is or was serving at the request of such as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by such person, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as it may be amended from time to time.

 

In addition, the current PGUS Certificate of Incorporation and the Pubco Certificate of Incorporation (as will be in effect upon the consummation of the Business Combination) contains provisions requiring such entity to indemnify and advance expenses to any director incurred in defending or otherwise participating in any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided that such director presents to such entity a written undertaking to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such director is not entitled to be indemnified by such entity

 

As permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, the current Certificate of Incorporation of PGUS and Pubco’s Certificate of Incorporation (as will be in effect upon completion of the Business Combination) each contains provisions eliminating the personal liability of directors to such entity or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL.

 

Pubco expects to maintain standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided (a) to its directors and officers against losses arising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act by such persons in their respective capacities as officers and directors Pubco, and (b) to Pubco with respect to payments which may be made by the registrant to such officers and directors pursuant to the above indemnification provision or otherwise as a matter of law.

Item 22. Undertakings.

 

The registrants each hereby undertake as follows:

 

  (a) (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

  (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
     
  (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
     
  (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

 

  (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
     
  (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
     
  (4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, if the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
     
  (5) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

  (i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
     
  (ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
     
  (iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
     
  (iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

II-4

 

 

  (6) That prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.
     
  (7) That every prospectus: (i) that is filed pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
     
  (b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of each registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, each registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the each registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the undersigned in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, each registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
     
  (c) Each registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
