PLUM ACQUISITION CORP. I

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

 

Plum Acquisition Corp. I (the “Company” or “Plum”) was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on January 11, 2021. The Company was incorporated 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 (the “Business Combination”). The Company has not selected any Business Combination target. The Company will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic region in its identification and acquisition of a target company. The Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

 

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from January 11, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“IPO”), which is described below, and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a business combination. The Company believes it 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 on investments in the Company’s Trust account and will recognize changes in the fair value of the warrant liabilities as other income (expense).

 

The Company’s Sponsor is Plum Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on March 15, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). On March 18, 2021, the Company consummated the initial public offering (the “Public Offering” or “IPO”) of 30,000,000 units (the “Units), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $300,000,000, which is discussed in Note 3.

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 6,000,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”), at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, which is discussed in Note 4. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, generating gross proceeds of $9,000,000, which is described in Note 4.

 

The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option from March 18, 2021 to purchase up to an additional 4,500,000 Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the IPO price less the underwriting discounts and commissions.

 

The underwriter partially exercised the over-allotment option on April 14, 2021 and purchased 1,921,634 Units at $10.00 per Unit. Simultaneously with the issuance and sale of the Units on April 14, 2021, the Company consummated the private placement with the Sponsor for an aggregate of 256,218 warrants to purchase Class A Ordinary Shares for $1.50 per warrant generating total proceeds of $384,327. On April 14, 2021, $19,216,340, net of the underwriter discount, was deposited in the Company’s Trust account.

 

A total of $19,216,340 was placed in a U.S.-based trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. Transaction costs of the IPO and the exercise of the over-allotment option amounted to $18,336,269 consisting of $6,384,327 of underwriting discount, $11,172,572 of deferred underwriting discount, and $779,370 of other offering costs. Of the transaction costs, $538,777 is included in transaction costs on consolidated the statements of operations and $17,797,492 is included in consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ deficit.

Following the closing of the Public Offering on March 18, 2021 and the partial exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option, $319,216,340 (approximately $10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Public Offering, including the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, was deposited in a trust account (“Trust Account”) located in the United States at Goldman Sachs, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and was invested in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invests only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. 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 proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will not be released from the Trust Account (1) to the Company, until the completion of our initial Business Combination, or (2) to the Public Shareholders, until the earliest of (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination, and then only in connection with those Class A ordinary shares that such shareholders properly elected to redeem, subject to the limitations described herein, (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 (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide holders of its Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete its initial Business Combination within 27 months from the closing of the IPO(or up to 36 months from the closing of our initial public offering if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination) (the “Combination Period”) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of the Class A ordinary shares, and (iii) the redemption of the public shares if the Company has not consummated its Business Combination within the Combination Period, subject to applicable law. Public Shareholders who redeem their Class A ordinary shares in connection with a shareholder vote described in clause (ii) in the preceding sentence shall not be entitled to funds from the Trust Account upon the subsequent completion of an initial Business Combination or liquidation if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, with respect to such Class A ordinary shares so redeemed. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Public Shareholders (as defined below).

 

The Company will provide shareholders (the “Public Shareholders”) of its Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001, sold in the IPO (the “Public Shares”), 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) without a shareholder vote by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the 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 business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay the Company’s taxes, if any, divided by the number of then-outstanding Public Shares, subject to certain limitations. The amount in the Trust Account is initially anticipated to be $10.00 per Public Share.

 

These Public Shares have been classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company receives the approval of an ordinary resolution.

 

The Company will have to December 18, 2023, or until June 18, 2024, if elected to extend the Termination Date up to nine times by an additional one month each time, to complete an initial Business Combination. However, 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 not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of the then-outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and its board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

On March 15, 2023, Plum held an Extraordinary General Meeting of its Shareholders (1) to amend Plum’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Articles”) to extend the date (the “Termination Date”) by which Plum has to consummate a business combination (the “Articles Extension”) from March 18, 2023 (the “Original Termination Date”) to June 18, 2023 (the “Articles Extension Date”) and to allow Plum, without another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date to consummate a business combination on a monthly basis for up to nine times by an additional one month each time after the Articles Extension Date, by resolution of Plum’s board of directors if requested by the Sponsor, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until March 18, 2024, or a total of up to twelve months after the Original Termination Date, unless the closing of Plum’s initial business combination shall have occurred prior to such date (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”) and (2) to amend the Articles to eliminate from the Articles the limitation that Plum may not redeem Class A ordinary shares to the extent that such redemption would result in Plum having net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a 51-1(g)(1)of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of less than $5,000,001 (the “Redemption Limitation”) in order to allow Plum to redeem Public Shares irrespective of whether such redemption would exceed the Redemption Limitation (the “Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal”). The shareholders of Plum approved the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal at the Shareholder Meeting and on March 15, 2023, Plum filed the amendment to the Articles with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands.

In connection with the vote to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal, the holders of 26,693,416 Class A ordinary shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of $10.23 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $273,112,311.62.

 

The Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares, (ii) 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 Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide holders of the Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its public shares if the Company does not complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of the Class A ordinary shares, (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares they hold if the Company fails to consummate an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (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 its initial Business Combination within the prescribed time frame) and (iv) vote their Founder Shares and public shares in favor of our initial Business Combination.

 

On September 13, 2023, Plum held an Extraordinary General Meeting of its Shareholders (“September Shareholder Meeting”) (1) to amend the Articles to extend Articles Extension Termination Date from the Articles Extension Date to December 18, 2023 (the “Second Articles Extension Date”) and to allow the Company, without another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date to consummate a business combination on a monthly basis for up to six times by an additional one month each time after the Second Articles Extension Date, by resolution of the Company’s board of directors if requested by the Sponsor, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until June 18, 2024, or a total of up to nine months after the Termination Date, unless the closing of the Company’s initial business combination shall have occurred prior to such date (the “Second Extension Amendment Proposal”) and (2) to authorize a reduction in the funds held in the Trust Account to an amount equal to $20,000,000.00 (the “Trust Reduction”), which amount will be used to compulsorily redeem up to 3,228,218 Public Shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the redemption date, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then-outstanding public shares (“Trust Reduction Proposal”). The shareholders of the Company approved the Second Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Reduction Proposal at the Shareholder Meeting and on September 13, 2023, the Company filed the amendment to the Articles with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands.

 

In connection with the vote to approve the Second Extension Amendment Proposal, (i) the Sponsor, as the sole holder of Class B Ordinary Shares, voluntarily elected to convert all Class B Ordinary Shares to Class A Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Class B Conversion”) and (ii) the holders of 1,972,625 Class A ordinary shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of $10.72 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $21,142,260.78 (the “Redemption”). Upon completion of the Class B Conversion and the Redemption, 7,980,409 shares of Class A common stock, excluding 3,255,593 shares of Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption, and no shares of Class B common stock remain issued and outstanding.

 

Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Going Concern

 

The Company’s liquidity needs up to March 18, 2021 had been satisfied through a capital contribution from the Sponsor of $25,000 (see Note 5) for the Founder Shares. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors, and third parties have committed to provide the Company Working Capital Loans (see Note 5). As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $1,000,000 outstanding under Working Capital Loans.

 

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $92,722 in its operating bank account and a working capital deficit of $14,556,550.

 

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern”, management has determined that the Company has and will continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our initial Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our initial Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our initial Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Accounts. In addition, following our initial Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

 

7

 

 

Further, management has determined that if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by December 18, 2023 or by June 18, 2024 if the Board of Directors adopts resolutions, upon request of the Sponsor, to extend the Termination Date up to nine times by an additional one month each time (the “Combination Period”), then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution as well as the Company’s working capital deficit raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after the Combination Period. The Company intends to complete a Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date.

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on April 17, 2023, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto. The interim results for the period ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or for any future interim periods.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include its wholly owned subsidiaries in connection with the initial Business Combination, namely Plum SPAC I Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub I”), and Plum SPAC 2 Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub II”). All inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II. There has been no intercompany activity since inception.

 

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 independent registered public accounting firm 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 stockholder 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 condensed 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 unaudited condensed consolidated 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

 

8

 

 

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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the subscription and forward purchase agreements and warrants liabilities. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and 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 did not have any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

 

Investments Held in Trust Account

 

At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, funds held in the Trust Account include $35,096,667 and $323,911,642, respectively, of investments held in a money market fund characterized as Level 1 investments within the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 (as defined below). The Company classifies its money market fund as trading securities in accordance with ASC 320 “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities.”

 

Convertible Promissory Note

 

The Company accounts for its convertible promissory note under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). Under 815-15-25, the election can be at the inception of a financial instrument to account for the instrument under the fair value option under ASC 825, “Financial Instruments” (“ASC 825”). The Company has made such election for its convertible promissory note. Using fair value option, the convertible promissory note is required to be recorded at its initial fair value on the date of issuance and each balance sheet date thereafter. Differences between the face value of the note and fair value at issuance are recognized as either an expense in the consolidated statements of operations (if issued at a premium) or as a capital contribution (if issued at a discount). Changes in the estimated fair value of the notes are recognized as non-cash gains or losses in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

 

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

 

The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A ordinary shares that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

 

9

 

 

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reflected on the consolidated balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

 

 

Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, December 31, 2022  $323,911,642 
Less:     
Redemptions of ordinary shares   (294,254,572)
Plus:     
Accretion adjustment of carrying value to redemption value   5,439,597 
Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, September 30, 2023  $35,096,667 

 

Offering Costs

 

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A  — “Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the Public Offering. Offering costs are charged to shareholders’ deficit or the consolidated statements of operations based on the relative value of the Warrants to the proceeds received from the Units sold upon the completion of the IPO.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, (excluding the promissory note and Warrants) which qualify as financial instruments under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the consolidated balance sheets.

 

Warrant Liabilities

 

The Company accounts for the Warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the specific terms of the Warrants and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the Warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the Warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the holders of the Warrants could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of issuance of the Warrants and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the Warrants are outstanding. For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, such warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, liability-classified warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of such warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the consolidated statements of operations.

 

The Company accounts for the Public and Private warrants in accordance with guidance contained in ASC815-40. Such guidance provides that because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant must be recorded as a liability (See Note 6).

 

Forward Purchase Agreement

 

The Company evaluated the forward purchase agreement (“FPA”) to determine if such instrument is a derivative or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, will be re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. The 2,500,000 forward purchase securities were recognized as a derivative liability in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, the Company recognized the forward purchase securities as a liability at its fair value and adjust the instrument to its fair value at each reporting period. The liability will be subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised. The fair value of the forward purchase securities is measured using a Probability Weighted Expected Return Model that values the FPA based on future projections of various potential outcomes.

On June 15, 2023, the Company received a termination notice (the “Notice”) from Sakuu Corporation (“Sakuu”), that terminated, effective June 14, 2023, the Business Combination Agreement, dated March 2, 2023, and in light of the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, the FPA was also terminated.

 

Subscription Agreement

 

On March 16, 2023, the Company entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund (the “Investor”) and the Sponsor (collectively, the “Parties”), the purpose of which is for the Sponsor to raise up to $1,500,000 from the Investor to fund the Articles Extension and to provide working capital to the Company during the Articles Extension (“Investor’s Capital Commitment”). In consideration of the funds, Sponsor will transfer 0.75 of a Class A ordinary share for each dollar the Investor funds (the “Subscription Shares”) to the Investor at the closing of the Business Combination. The Subscription Shares shall be subject to the Lock-Up Period as defined in section 5 of the Sponsor Letter Agreement.

 

On July 14, 2023, the Company entered into an amended and restated subscription agreement (“A&R Subscription Agreement”) with Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund (the “Investor”) and Plum Partners, LLC (the “Sponsor” and, together with the Company and Investor, the “Parties”), which amends and restates the Subscription Agreement. The purpose of the A&R Subscription Agreement remains for the Sponsor to raise up to $1,500,000 from the Investor to fund the Articles extension and to provide working capital to the Company during the Articles Extension. See Note 8 for further details.

 

On July 25, 2023, the Company entered into a second subscription agreement (“Second Subscription Agreement”) with the Investor and Sponsor, the purpose of which is for the Sponsor to raise up to $1,090,000 from the Investor to fund the Extension and to provide working capital to the Company during the Extension. In consideration of the funds, Sponsor will transfer 1 share of a Class A ordinary share for each dollar the Investor funds (the “Subscription Shares”) to the Investor at the closing of the Business Combination. The Subscription Shares shall be subject to the Lock-Up Period as defined in section 5 of the Sponsor Letter Agreement. See Note 8 for further details.

 

The Company recorded the fair value of the subscription liability on the consolidated balance sheets and the related expense on its consolidated statements of operations. The initial fair value of the subscription liability was estimated using a probability weighted expected return model (Note 7).

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

FASB ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) defines fair value, the methods used to measure fair value and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between the buyer and the seller at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the valuation techniques consistent with the market approach, income approach and cost approach shall be used to measure fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs, which represent the assumptions used by the buyer and seller in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are further defined as observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are those that buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that the buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

 

The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:

 

Level 1 — Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not being applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
   
Level 2 — Valuations based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities, or (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market through correlation or other means.
   
Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

 

The fair value of the Company’s certain assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the consolidated balance sheets. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and promissory note to related parties are estimated to approximate the carrying values as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 due to the short maturities of such instruments. See Note 7 for additional information on assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no unrecognized tax benefits 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.

 

11

 

 

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. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

 

Net (Loss) Income Per Ordinary Share

 

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. The potential 12,640,544 ordinary shares for outstanding warrants to purchase the Company’s shares were excluded from diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 because the warrants are contingently exercisable, and the contingencies have not yet been met. As a result, diluted net (loss) income per ordinary share is the same as basic net (loss) income per ordinary share for the period. The table below presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net (loss) income per share for each class of ordinary share:

Recent Accounting Standards

 

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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 — INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

 

On March 18, 2021, the Company sold 30,000,000 Units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, and one-fifth of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 6).

 

On April 14, 2021, the Company sold an additional 1,921,634 Units at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit, each consisting of one Class A ordinary share and one-fifth of one redeemable warrant.

 

All of the 31,921,634 Class A ordinary share sold as part of the Units in the IPO contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, 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 certificate of incorporation. In accordance with 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 share subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity.

 

The Class A ordinary share is subject to SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC480-10-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 recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur. Immediately upon the closing of the IPO, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable ordinary share resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.

NOTE 4 — PRIVATE PLACEMENTS

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 6,000,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $9,000,000, in a private placement. Simultaneously with the issuance and sale of the Units on April 14, 2021, the Company consummated the private placement with the Sponsor for an aggregate of 256,218 warrants to purchase Class A Ordinary Shares for $1.50 per warrant generating total proceeds of $384,327. A portion of the proceeds from the private placements were added to the proceeds from the IPO held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

 

The Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the warrants sold as part of the units in the IPO. The Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination (except pursuant to limited exceptions to the Company’s officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with the initial purchasers of the Private Placement Warrants) and they will not be redeemable by the Company so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. The Sponsor, or its permitted transferees, has the option to exercise the Private Placement Warrants on a cashless basis.

 

If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company in all redemption scenarios and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the units sold in the IPO.

 

NOTE 5 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Founder Shares

 

On January 13, 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.003 per share, to cover certain offering costs in consideration for 8,625,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Founder Shares”). Up to 1,125,000 Founder Shares were subject to forfeiture to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriter. On April 14, 2021 the underwriter partially exercised its over-allotment option buying 1,921,634 Units thus reducing the total number of share subject to forfeiture to 644,591. On May 2, 2021 the underwriter’s over-allotment option expired and 644,591 Founder Shares were forfeited to the Company.

 

The Sponsor and the Company’s directors and executive officers have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until earliest of (A) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination and (B) subsequent to the initial Business Combination, (x) if the closing price of our Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Public Shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property (the “Lock-up”).Any permitted transferees would be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the Sponsor and the directors and executive officers with respect to any Founder Shares.

 

Promissory Note — Related Party

 

On January 13, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the IPO pursuant to a promissory note. This loan is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of November 30, 2021 or the completion of the IPO. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company has no borrowings under the Note. Borrowings under this note are no longer available.

 

On March 16, 2023, Plum issued an unsecured promissory note in the total principal amount of up to $250,000 (the “Promissory Note”) to Mr. Kanishka Roy, individually and as a member of Plum Partners LLC. Mr. Roy funded the initial principal amount of $250,000 on March 14, 2023. The Promissory Note does not bear interest and matures upon the consummation of Plum’s initial business combination with one or more businesses or entities. In the event Plum does not consummate a business combination, the Promissory Note will be repaid upon Plum’s liquidation only from amounts remaining outside of Plum’s trust account, if any. The Promissory Note is subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of which automatically trigger the unpaid principal balance of the Promissory Note and all other sums payable with regard to the Promissory Note becoming immediately due and payable. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company has $250,000 and $0 borrowings under the Note.

Working Capital Loans

 

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors, and third parties have committed to loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company will repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to it. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital 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. Up to $1,500,000 of the Working Capital Loans may be convertible into Private Placement Warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Except as set forth above, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. Prior to the completion of the initial Business Combination, the Company does not expect to seek loans from parties other than the Sponsor its affiliates or any members of the Company’s management team as the Company does not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in the Company’s Trust Account.

 

On January 31, 2022, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $500,000 to Mike Dinsdale (the “Payee”). The Note does not bear interest and is repayable in full upon consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination. The Company may draw on the Note from time to time, in increments of not less than $50,000, until the earlier of March 18, 2023 or the date on which the Company consummates a Business Combination. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, the Note shall not be repaid and all amounts owed under it will be forgiven. Upon the consummation of a Business Combination, the Payee shall have the option, but not the obligation, to convert the principal balance of the Note, in whole or in part, into private placement warrants (as defined in that certain Warrant Agreement, dated March 18, 2021, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company), at a price of $1.50 per private placement warrant. The Note is subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of which automatically trigger the unpaid principal balance of the Note and all other sums payable with regard to the Note becoming immediately due and payable.

 

On July 11, 2022, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Second Note”) in the principal amount of $500,000 to Ursula Burns (the “Second Payee”). The Note does not bear interest and is repayable in full upon consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination. Up to fifty percent (50%) of the principal of the Note may be drawn down from time to time at the Company’s option prior to August 25, 2022 and any or all of the remaining undrawn principal of the Note may be drawn down from time to time at the Company’s option after August 25, 2022, in each case in increments of not less than $50,000. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, the Second Note shall not be repaid and all amounts owed under it will be forgiven. Upon the consummation of a Business Combination, the Second Payee shall have the option, but not the obligation, to convert the principal balance of the Second Note, in whole or in part, into private placement warrants, at a price of $1.50 per private placement warrant. The Second Note is subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of which automatically trigger the unpaid principal balance of the Second Note and all other sums payable with regard to the Second Note becoming immediately due and payable.

 

The Note and Second Note are reported at cost in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as the fair value adjustment associated with the conversion is deemed to be immaterial.

 

In connection with the Subscription Agreements (as described below), the Company issued unsecured promissory notes (“Convertible Promissory Notes”), dated as of March 17, 2023, and July 25, 2023, in the principal amount of up to $1,500,000 and $1,090,000, respectively, to Sponsor, which may be drawn down by the Company from time to time prior to the consummation of the Company’s Business Combination. The Convertible Promissory Notes do not bear interest, matures on the date of consummation of the Business Combination and is subject to customary events of default. The Convertible Promissory Notes will be repaid only to the extent that the Company has funds available to it outside of its trust account established in connection with its initial public offering and is convertible into private placement warrants of the Company at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the Sponsor. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. The Company has evaluated the accounting treatment of the convertible notes under ASC 815. The Company has determined that the conversion feature would be the only consideration to be provided to Sponsor if Sponsor exercises the conversion feature. As of September 30, 2023, the fair value of the conversion feature embedded in the Convertible Promissory Note has been determined to have de minis value.

NOTE 6 — WARRANTS

 

The Public Warrants will become exercisable at $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, at any time commencing 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination; provided that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis under the circumstances specified in the warrant agreement) and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder. The warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

 

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than twenty business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, it will use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, and the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement and a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement, provided that if the Class A ordinary shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but the Company will use its commercially reasonably efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. If a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption, but the Company will use its commercially reasonably efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of Class A ordinary shares equal to the lesser of (A) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (as defined below) less the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value and (B) 0.361. The “fair market value” as used in this paragraph shall mean the volume weighted average price of the Class A ordinary shares for the 10 trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received by the warrant agent.

 

15

 

 

In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the Class A ordinary share underlying such unit.

 

Redemption of Warrants When the Price per Class A Ordinary Share Equals or Exceeds $18.00

 

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants (except with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

 

in whole and not in part;

 

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

 

upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and

 

if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three trading days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

 

Redemption of Warrants When the Price per Class A Ordinary Share Equals or Exceeds $10.00

 

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:

 

in whole and not in part;

 

at $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares, based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of our Class A ordinary shares (as defined above);

 

if, and only if, the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $10.00 per public share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant) for any 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending three trading days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and

 

if the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant), the Private Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding public warrants, as described above.

 

In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of our Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described above will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $10.00 per share redemption trigger price described above will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

NOTE 7 — RECURRING FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

Investments Held in Trust Account

 

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the investments in the Company’s Trust Account consisted of $35.1 million and $323.9 million in U.S. Money Market funds, respectively. The Company considers all investments with original maturities of more than three months but less than one year to be short-term investments.

 

Fair values of the Company’s investments are classified as Level 1 utilizing quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets.

 

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company’s permitted investments consist of U.S. Money Market funds. Fair values of these investments are determined by Level 1 inputs utilizing quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets. The Company’s initial value of the warrant liability was based on a valuation model utilizing management judgment and pricing inputs from observable and unobservable markets with less volume and transaction frequency than active markets and classified as level 3. The subsequent measurement of the Public Warrants is classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market price of these warrants. The subsequent measurement of the Private Warrants is classified as Level 2 because these warrants are economically equivalent to the Public warrants, based on the terms of the Private Warrant agreement, and as such their value is principally derived by the value of the Public Warrants. Significant deviations from these estimates and inputs could result in a material change in fair value. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were no transfers amongst level 1, 2, and 3 values during the period. At December 31, 2021, the Company reclassified the Public Warrants and Private Warrants from Level 3 to Level 1 and Level 2, respectively.

 

The fair value of the subscription liability was $9,191,162 as of September 30, 2023. The initial fair value of the subscription liability was estimated using a probability weighted expected return model. The subscription liability is considered to be a Level 3 financial instrument. The debt discount is being amortized to interest expense as a non-cash charge over the term of the subscription liability, in which is generally the Company’s expected Business Combination date at the time of each draw. During the period ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded $3,815,529 of interest expense related to the amortization of the debt discount. The remaining balance of the debt discount as of September 30, 2023 amounted to $4,372,334.

 

The FPA liability is measured at fair value using a probability weighted expected return model based on future projections of various potential outcomes. The FPA liability is considered to be a Level 3 financial instrument. On June 15, 2023, the Company received a termination notice from Sakuu, that terminated, effective June 14, 2023, the Business Combination Agreement, dated March 2, 2023. In light of the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, the FPA was also terminated. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 there was no FPA liability outstanding.

 

The conversion feature of the Convertible Promissory Notes is measured at fair value using a Monte Carlo model that fair values the compound option. The fair value of the conversion feature of the Convertible Promissory Notes was $0 as of September 30, 2023.

Forward Purchase Agreement Liability

 

The estimated fair value of the FPA liability on March 1, 2023 (initial measurement) is determined using Level 3 inputs. The expected term was based on management assumptions regarding the timing and likelihood of completing a business combination. The FPA liability is discounted to net present values using risk free rates. Discount rates were based on current risk-free rates based on the estimated term.

 

On June 15, 2023, the Company received a termination notice from Sakuu, that terminated, effective June 14, 2023, the Business Combination Agreement, dated March 2, 2023. In light of the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, the FPA was also terminated. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 there was no FPA liability outstanding.

 

The following table presents the changes in the fair value of the forward purchase agreement (“FPA”) liability:

The changes in the fair value of the forward purchase agreement liability for the three and nine month ended September 30, 2023 are $0 and $308,114, respectively.

 

Subscription Liability

 

The estimated fair value of the subscription liability on March 17, 2023 (initial measurement), May 23, 2023, July 14, 2023 and July 25, 2023 are determined using Level 3 inputs. The expected term was based on management assumptions regarding the timing and likelihood of completing a business combination. Management also estimated whether a business combination would be completed. The subscription liability is discounted to net present values using risk free rates. Discount rates were based on current risk-free rates based on the actual simulated term using the following U.S. Treasury rates and using the linearly interpolated treasury rates between quoted terms.

NOTE 8 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Registration Rights

 

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the IPO. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registers such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Company’s completion of its initial Business Combination. However, the registration and shareholder rights agreement provide that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable Lock-up period, which occurs (i) in the case of the Founder Shares, as described in Note 5, and (ii) in the case of the Private Placement Warrants and the respective Class A ordinary shares underlying such warrants, 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

 

Underwriting Agreement

In addition to the loss from operations, we recognized other income $1,035,971 consisting of change in fair value of SPA of $557,645, change in fair value of FPA of $308,114, reduction of deferred underwriter fee payable of $328,474 and interest earned on cash held in the Trust Account of $4,344,597 offset by an unrealized loss on our warrant liabilities of $379,216, issuance of FPA of $308,114 and interest expense – debt discount of $3,815,529.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had a loss from operations of $2,686,622. In addition to the loss from operations, we recognized other income of $10,422,422 consisting of an unrealized gain on our warrant liabilities of $8,499,501 and interest earned on cash held in the Trust Account of $1,922,921.

 

Through September 30, 2023, our efforts have been limited to organizational activities, activities relating to identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates and activities relating to general corporate matters. We have not generated any realized income, other than interest income. The change in fair value of our warrant liabilities had no impact on cash. As of September 30, 2023, $35,096,667 was held in the Trust Account, cash outside of Trust Account of $92,722 and $3,976,694 accounts payable and accrued expenses.

 

Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to us to pay taxes, if any, the proceeds in the Trust will not be released from the Trust Account (1) to us, until the completion of our initial Business Combination, or (2) to the Public Shareholders, until the earliest of (i) the completion of our initial Business Combination, and then only in connection with those Class A ordinary shares that such shareholders properly elected to redeem, subject to the limitations, (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered 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 provide holders of our Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with our initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if we do not complete an initial Business Combination within 27 months from the closing of the IPO (or up to 36 months from the closing of our initial public offering if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination) (the “Combination Period”) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of the Class A ordinary shares, and (iii) the redemption of the public shares if we have not consummated a Business Combination within the Combination Period, subject to applicable law.

 

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

 

As of September 30, 2023, we had cash outside our Trust Account of $92,722, available for working capital needs. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account 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.

 

In March and April 2021, we sold 31,921,634 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class A ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $319,216,340. In connection with the vote to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal, the holders of 26,693,416 Class A ordinary shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of $10.23 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $273,112,311.62.

 

Additionally, we sold 6,256,218 warrants (the “Private Warrants”), at a price of $1.50 per Private Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $9,384,327. Following the sale of our Units and the sale of the Private Warrants, a total of $319,216,340 ($10.00 per Unit) was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $18,336,269 in Initial Public Offering related costs, including $6,384,327 of underwriting fees, $11,172,572 of deferred underwriting discount and $779,370 of other costs with $564,701 which was allocated to the Public Warrants and Private Warrants, included in the consolidated statements of operations and $17,771,568 included in temporary equity.

 

On January 31, 2022, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Dinsdale Note”) in the principal amount of $500,000 to Mike Dinsdale. The Dinsdale Note does not bear interest and is repayable in full upon consummation of a Business Combination. The Company may draw on the Dinsdale Note from time to time, in increments of not less than $50,000, until the earlier of March 18, 2023 or the date on which the Company consummates a Business Combination. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, the Dinsdale Note shall not be repaid and all amounts owed under it will be forgiven. Upon the consummation of a Business Combination, the Mr. Dinsdale shall have the option, but not the obligation, to convert the principal balance of the Dinsdale Note, in whole or in part, into private placement warrants (as defined in that certain Warrant Agreement, dated March 18, 2021, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company), at a price of $1.50 per private placement warrant. The Dinsdale Note is subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of which automatically trigger the unpaid principal balance of the Dinsdale Note and all other sums payable with regard to the Dinsdale Note becoming immediately due and payable. The Dinsdale Note was issued pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

On July 11, 2022, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Burns Note”) in the principal amount of $500,000 to Ursula Burns. The Burns Note does not bear interest and is repayable in full upon consummation of a Business Combination. Up to fifty percent (50%) of the principal of the Burns Note may be drawn down from time to time at the Company’s option prior to August 25, 2022 and any or all of the remaining undrawn principal of the Burns Note may be drawn down from time to time at the Company’s option after August 25, 2022, in each case in increments of not less than $50,000. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, the Burns Note shall not be repaid and all amounts owed under it will be forgiven. Upon the consummation of a Business Combination, Ms. Burns shall have the option, but not the obligation, to convert the principal balance of the Burns Note, in whole or in part, into private placement warrants (as defined in that certain Warrant Agreement, dated March 18, 2021, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company), at a price of $1.50 per private placement warrant. The Burns Note is subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of which automatically trigger the unpaid principal balance of the Burns Note and all other sums payable with regard to the Burns Note becoming immediately due and payable.

 

On March 16, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the total principal amount of up to $250,000 (the “Roy Note”) to Mr. Kanishka Roy, individually and as a member of Plum Partners LLC. Mr. Roy funded the initial principal amount of $250,000 on March 14, 2023. The Roy Note does not bear interest and matures upon the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination with one or more businesses or entities. In the event the Company does not consummate a business combination, the Roy Note will be repaid upon the Company’s liquidation only from amounts remaining outside of the Company’s trust account, if any. The Roy Note is subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of which automatically trigger the unpaid principal balance of the Roy Note and all other sums payable with regard to the Roy Note becoming immediately due and payable.

 

As of September 30, 2023, we had investments held in the Trust Account of $35,096,667 (including $9,039,899 of income) consisting of money market funds.

 

For nine months ended September 30, 2023, cash used in operating activities was $709,623. Net loss of $1,049,638 which consisted of change in fair value of FPA of $308,114, reduction of deferred underwriter fee payable of $328,474, change in fair value of SPA of $557,645, and interest earned on cash held in the Trust Account of $4,344,597, was primarily offset by an unrealized loss on our warrant liabilities of $379,216, issuance of FPA of $308,114, interest expense – debt discount of $3,815,529 and other operational activities including amounts due to related party of $1,375,986.

 

For nine months ended September 30, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $748,365. Net income of $7,735,800 was primarily offset by an unrealized gain on our warrant liabilities of $8,499,501 and interest earned on cash held in the Trust Account of $1,922,921. Other operational activities including amounts due to related party generated $1,938,257.

 

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, to acquire a target business and to pay our expenses relating thereto. 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.

 

Further, our Sponsor, officers and directors or their respective affiliates have committed to loan us funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). If we complete a business combination, we will repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that a business combination does not close, we may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes would either be repaid upon consummation of a business combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, or converted upon consummation of a business combination into additional Private Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Warrant. As of September 30, 2023, $1,000,000 Working Capital Loans have been issued (Note 5).

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern”, management has determined that the Company has and will continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our initial Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our initial Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our initial Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Accounts. In addition, following our initial Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

 

Further, management has determined that if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by December 18, 2023, or June 18, 2024 if elected to extend the Termination Date up to nine times by an additional one month each time (the “Combination Period”), then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution as well as the Company’s working capital deficit raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after the Combination Period. The Company intends to complete a Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2023. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or entered into any non-financial agreements involving assets.

 

Contractual obligations

 

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

Warrant Liabilities

 

We account for the Warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the specific terms of the Warrants and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the Warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the Warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the holders of the Warrants could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of issuance of the Warrants and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the Warrants are outstanding. For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, such warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, liability-classified warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of such warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. We account for the Public and Private warrants in accordance with guidance contained in ASC815-40. Such guidance provides that because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant must be recorded as a liability.

 

29

 

 

Convertible Promissory Note

 

The Company accounts for its convertible promissory note under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). Under 815-15-25, the election can be at the inception of a financial instrument to account for the instrument under the fair value option under ASC 825, “Financial Instruments” (“ASC 825”). The Company has made such election for its convertible promissory note. Using fair value option, the convertible promissory note is required to be recorded at its initial fair value on the date of issuance and each balance sheet date thereafter. Differences between the face value of the note and fair value at issuance are recognized as either an expense in the condensed statements of operations (if issued at a premium) or as a capital contribution (if issued at a discount). Changes in the estimated fair value of the notes are recognized as non-cash gains or losses in the condensed statements of operations.

 

Redeemable Shares of Class A Ordinary shares

 

All of the 31,921,634 shares of Class A ordinary shares included in the Units sold as part of the Public Offering contain a redemption feature as described in the prospectus for the Public Offering. In accordance with FASB ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require the security to be classified outside of permanent equity. The Charter provides a minimum net tangible asset threshold of $5,000,001. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of the security at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable shares will be affected by charges against additional paid-in capital.

 

Net Income Per Ordinary Share

 

The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. The potential ordinary shares for outstanding warrants to purchase the Company’s shares were excluded from diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 because the warrants are contingently exercisable, and the contingencies have not yet been met. As a result, diluted net (loss) income per common share is the same as basic net (loss) income per common share for the periods.

 

Recent accounting standards

 

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 unaudited condensed financial statements.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

  

30

 

 

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2023. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2023 due to the material weakness in our internal controls during the year ended 2022 over accounting and reporting complex financial instruments including the proper classification of warrants as liabilities and redeemable Class A ordinary shares as temporary equity and prepaid expenses between current and non-current, and under accrual of liabilities. These material weaknesses in our internal controls have not been remediated as of September 30, 2023. In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our unaudited interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

Regarding the restatement to the September 30, 2021 quarterly financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-Q, as filed with the SEC on November 22, 2021, the change in fair value of warrants on the Company’s condensed statement of operations for the three months ended September 30 2021 and for the period from January 11, 2021 (inception) to September 30 2021 and warrant liability on the Company’s condensed balance sheet as of September 30, 2021 were misstated. The Company restated its financial statements in an amendment to the Q3 Form 10-Q. In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our unaudited interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Regarding the restatements to the March 31, 2021, and June 30, 2021 quarterly financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-Qs, as filed with the SEC on June 4, 2021 and August 16, 2021, respectively, as well as the Company’s balance sheet included on the Company’s Form 8-K, as filed with the SEC on March 24, 2021, certain 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 had previously classified a portion of the Class A ordinary shares in permanent equity. The Company restated its financial statements to classify all Class A ordinary shares as temporary equity and any related impact, as the threshold in its charter would not change the nature of the underlying shares as redeemable and thus would be required to be disclosed outside of permanent equity. It is noted that the non-cash adjustments to the financial statements do not impact the amounts previously reported for our cash and cash equivalents or total assets. In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our unaudited interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three  months ended September 30, 2023 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. In light of the material weakness, we have enhanced our processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements to better evaluate and understand the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to our financial statements. Our plans at this time include providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.

On October 18, 2023, the parties to the A&R Subscription Agreement entered into Amendment No. 1 to the A&R Subscription Agreement, in which the parties amended the consideration of a Capital Call made pursuant to the A&R Subscription Agreement to the following: (a) 431,735 shares of Class A Common Stock of the SPAC (the “Initial Shares”) free and clear of any liens or other encumbrances, other than pursuant to the Letter Agreement and the Investor shall not be subject to forfeiture, surrender, claw-back, transfers, disposals, exchanges, or earn-outs for any reason on the Initial Shares; (b) 71,956 shares of Class A Common Stock of the SPAC that must be held by the Investor until the VWAP of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.50 for any 20 trading days within any 30 days trading period within 10 years from the consummation of the De-SPAC (the “$12.50 Shares”); and (c) 71,956 shares of Class A Common Stock of the SPAC that must be held by the Investor until the VWAP of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $15.00 for any 20 trading days within any 30 days trading period within 10 years from the consummation of the De-SPAC (the “$15 Shares” and together with the Initial Shares and the $12.50 Shares, the “Subscription Shares”).

 

On October 18, 2023, the parties to the Second Subscription Agreement entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Second Subscription Agreement, in which the parties (a) limited the total amount of the Investor’s Capital Commitment that may be called subject to the Second Subscription Agreement to $750,000 and (b) amended the consideration of a Capital Call made pursuant to the Second Subscription Agreement to the following: (a) 448,169 shares of Class A Common Stock of the SPAC (the “Initial Shares”) free and clear of any liens or other encumbrances, other than pursuant to the Letter Agreement and the Investor shall not be subject to forfeiture, surrender, claw-back, transfers, disposals, exchanges, or earn-outs for any reason on the Initial Shares; (b) 74,695 shares of Class A Common Stock of the SPAC that must be held by the Investor until the VWAP of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.50 for any 20 trading days within any 30 days trading period within 10 years from the consummation of the De-SPAC (the “$12.50 Shares”); and (c) 74,695 shares of Class A Common Stock of the SPAC that must be held by the Investor until the VWAP of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $15.00 for any 20 trading days within any 30 days trading period within 10 years from the consummation of the De-SPAC (the “$15 Shares” and together with the Initial Shares and the $12.50 Shares, the “Subscription Shares”).

 

32

 

 

In connection with the Second Subscription Agreement, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note, effective as of October 18, 2023, in the principal amount of up to $340,000 to Sponsor, which may be drawn down by the Company from time to time prior to the consummation of the Company’s Business Combination. The note does not bear interest, matures on the date of consummation of the Business Combination and is subject to customary events of default. The note will be repaid only to the extent that the Company has funds available to it outside of its trust account established in connection with its initial public offering and is convertible into private placement warrants of the Company at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the Sponsor.

 

On October 18, 2023, the Company entered into a subscription agreement (“Third Subscription Agreement”) with Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund (the “Investor”) and Plum Partners, LLC (the “Sponsor” and, together with the Company and Investor, the “Parties”), the purpose of which is for the Sponsor to raise up to $340,000 from the Investor to fund the Extension (defined below) and to provide working capital to the Company during the Extension (“Investor’s Capital Commitment”). As such, subject to, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Third Subscription Agreement, the Parties agreed,

 

(a)from time to time, the Company will request funds from the Sponsor for working capital purposes or for the Sponsor to fund an extension payment pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (each a “Drawdown Request”). The Sponsor, upon on at least five (5) calendar days’ prior written notice (“Capital Notice”), may require a drawdown against the Investor’s Capital Commitment under a Drawdown Request (each a “Capital Call”). An amount of up to $200,000 of the Investor’s Capital Commitment was deemed the subject of a Capital Call concurrently with the execution of the Third Subscription Agreement, and an amount that is up to the balance of the Investor’s Capital Commitment may be called upon the filing of a registration statement by the SPAC or the surviving entity in relation to the business combination.

 

(b)in consideration of the Capital Calls, Sponsor will transfer 0.9 share of Class A ordinary share for each dollar the Investor funds pursuant to the Capital Call(s) in respect of the second contribution (together, the “Subscription Shares”) to the Investor at the closing of the Business Combination (the “Business Combination Closing”). The Subscription Shares shall be subject to the Lock-Up Period as defined in section 5 of the Sponsor Letter Agreement dated March 2, 2023 (the “Letter Agreement”). The Subscription Shares shall not be subject to any additional transfer restrictions or any additional lock-up provisions, earn outs, or other contingencies and shall promptly be registered pursuant to the first registration statement filed by the Company or the surviving entity in relation to the Business Combination;

 

(c)each member of the Sponsor has the right to contribute any amount requested under each Drawdown Request (“Sponsor Capital Contribution”), provided that such Sponsor Capital Contributions will be made on terms no more favorable than the Investor’s Capital Commitment. In addition, the Company and Sponsor maintain the ability to enter into other agreements with each other or with other parties which shall provide for funding of the Company (through the issuance of equity, entry into promissory notes, or otherwise) outside of Drawdown Requests, provided that the terms of any such agreement between the Company or Sponsor with each other or any party or parties will be no more favorable than the terms under the Third Subscription Agreement;

 

(d)any amounts funded by the Sponsor to the Company under a Drawdown Request shall not accrue interest and shall be promptly repaid by the Company to the Sponsor upon the Business Combination Closing. Following receipt of such sums from the Company, and in any event within 5 business days of the Business Combination Closing, the Sponsor or Company shall pay to the Investor, an amount equal to all Capital Calls funded under the Third Subscription Agreement (the “Business Combination Payment”). The Investor may elect at the Business Combination Closing to receive such Business Combination Payment in cash or Class A ordinary shares at a rate of 1 Class A ordinary share for each $10 of the Capital Calls funded under the Third Subscription Agreement. If the Company liquidates without consummating the Business Combination, any amounts remaining in the Sponsor or Company’s cash accounts, not including the Company’s Trust Account, will be paid to the Investor within five (5) days of the liquidation; and

 

(e)on the Business Combination Closing, the Sponsor will pay the Investor an amount equal to the reasonable attorney fees incurred by the Investor in connection with the Third Subscription Agreement not to exceed $5,000.

Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Subscription Agreement dated July 14, 2023 (“A&R Agreement”) between (i) Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund (“the Investor”), (ii) Plum Acquisition Corp I., (“SPAC”), and (ii) Plum Partners LLC, (“Sponsor”). This amendment agreement (this “Amendment”) is made as of the 18th day of October, 2023 and constitutes the first amendment to the A&R Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Parties hereto wish to update and amend the A&R Agreement pursuant to the terms of this Amendment.

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements set forth herein, and such other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

 

1.Existing Terms of A&R Agreement. Unless otherwise defined in this Amendment, capitalized terms shall have the meaning given to them in the A&R Agreement. Except as set forth in Section 2 of this Amendment, the A&R Agreement will remain in full force and effect and as from the date hereof, references in the A&R Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “herein” and like terms or to any provision of the A&R Agreement shall be construed as a reference to the A&R Agreement, or such provision, as amended, modified and restated by this Amendment. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the terms of the A&R Agreement and the terms contained in Section 2 of this Amendment, the terms contained in Section 2 of this Amendment shall control.

 

2.Amendments to the A&R Agreement. With effect on and from the date hereof, the Parties agree that Section 2.2 of the A&R Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

“2.2 Subscription. In consideration of the Capital Call(s) made hereunder, Sponsor will promptly transfer to the Investor (or its permitted transferees), no later than two (2) business days following the closing of the Initial Business Combination:

 

(i)431,735 shares of Class A Common Stock of the SPAC (the “Initial Shares”) free and clear of any liens or other encumbrances, other than pursuant to the Letter Agreement (defined below) and the Investor shall not be subject to forfeiture, surrender, claw-back, transfers, disposals, exchanges, or earn-outs for any reason on the Initial Shares;

 

(ii)71,956 shares of Class A Common Stock of the SPAC that must be held by the Investor until the VWAP of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.50 for any 20 trading days within any 30 days trading period within 10 years from the consummation of the De-SPAC (the “$12.50 Shares”); and

 

(iii)71,956 shares of Class A Common Stock of the SPAC that must be held by the Investor until the VWAP of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $15.00 for any 20 trading days within any 30 days trading period within 10 years from the consummation of the De-SPAC (the “$15 Shares” and together with the Initial Shares and the $12.50 Shares, the “Subscription Shares”).

 

 

 

 

The Initial Shares shall be subject to the Lock-Up Period as defined in section 5 of the Sponsor Letter Agreement dated March 2, 2023 (the “Letter Agreement”).

Notwithstanding anything in this Amendment or other agreement to the contrary, Investor shall be released with respect to the Subscription Shares from any transfer, lockup, or earn-out restrictions to the same extent as any other holder of Founder Shares are released from such restrictions. The Sponsor and SPAC covenant and agree to facilitate the transfer to Investor in accordance with the foregoing.”

 

3.Miscellaneous. This Amendment shall enure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

Exhibit 10.6

 

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

 

THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into effectively as of October 18, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), by, between and among Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund (the “Investor”), Plum Acquisition Corp I., a Cayman Islands exempt company (“SPAC”) and Plum Partners LLC, a Cayman Islands exempted limited liability company (“Sponsor”). Investor, SPAC and Sponsor are referred to in this Agreement individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”

 

WHEREAS, SPAC is a special purpose acquisition company that closed on its initial public offering on March 18, 2021, with 24 months to complete an initial business combination (a “De-SPAC”);

 

WHEREAS, SPAC held a Special Meeting during which SPAC’s shareholders voted to approve a proposal to extend the date by which the SPAC must consummate the De-SPAC from March 18, 2023 to March 18, 2024 (the “Extension”);

 

WHEREAS, the Sponsor currently holds SPAC Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, initially purchased in a private placement prior to SPAC’s initial public offering (the “Founder Shares”)

 

WHEREAS, as of the date of this Agreement, SPAC has not completed a De-SPAC; and

 

WHEREAS, Sponsor is seeking to raise up to $340,000 to fund the Extension and to provide working capital to the SPAC.

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Investor has agreed to fund $340,000 (such amount, as adjusted in accordance with Section 1.3, being the “Investor Capital Contribution”).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, which are incorporated in this Agreement as if fully set forth below, and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreement contained in this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties agree as follows.

 

ARTICLE I

 

SUBSCRIPTION AND DE-SPAC PAYMENT

 

1.1Capital Calls. From time to time, the SPAC will request funds from the Sponsor for working capital purposes or for the Sponsor to fund an extension payment pursuant to the SPAC’s Memorandum and Articles of Association (each a “Drawdown Request”). On at least five (5) calendar days’ prior written notice (“Capital Notice”), the Sponsor may require a drawdown against the Investor’s Capital Contribution in order to meet the Sponsor’s commitment to the SPAC under a Drawdown Request (each a “Capital Call”) subject to the following conditions:

 

1.1.1The Capital Notice to the Investor shall include (i) the total amount requested by the SPAC under the Drawdown Request and (ii) the amount being called from the Investor.

 

1.1.2The aggregate amount of the Capital Calls shall not exceed the Investor Capital Contribution.

 

1.1.3A Capital Call of up to $200,000 of the Investor Capital Contribution may be called by the Sponsor upon the provision of evidence (satisfactory to the Investor) that the SPAC and/or Sponsor has entered into a letter of intent with Veea, Inc; and

 

 

 

 

1.1.4a Capital Call of the remaining balance of the Investor’s Capital Commitment may be called by the Sponsor upon the filing of a registration statement by the SPAC or the surviving entity in relation to the business combination with Veea, Inc.

 

1.2Subscription. In consideration of the Capital Call(s) made hereunder, Sponsor will transfer 0.9 share of Class A Common Stock for each dollar the Investor funds pursuant to the Capital Call(s) hereunder (the “Subscription Shares”) to the Investor at the closing of a De-SPAC transaction (the “De-SPAC Closing”). The Subscription Shares shall be subject to the Lock-Up Period as defined in section 5 of the Sponsor Letter Agreement dated March 2, 2023 (the “Letter Agreement”). The Subscription Shares shall not be subject to any additional transfer restrictions or any additional lock- up provisions, earn outs, or other contingencies and shall promptly be registered pursuant to the first registration statement filed by the SPAC or the surviving entity in relation to the business combination, which shall be filed no later than 30 days after the De-SPAC Closing and declared effective no later than 90 days after the De-SPAC Closing. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Letter Agreement to the contrary, Investor shall be released with respect to the Subscription Shares from any transfer or lock-up restrictions under the Letter Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement to the same extent as any other holder of Founder Shares are released from such restrictions. Sponsor and SPAC agree to use reasonable best efforts to amend the terms of the Subscription Shares such that they are not subject to any lock-up period.

 

1.3Sponsor Commitment Rights. Each member of the Sponsor has the right to contribute any amount requested under each Drawdown Request (“Sponsor Capital Contribution”). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the ability of the SPAC or the Sponsor to enter into other agreements with each other or with other parties which shall provide for funding of the SPAC (through the issuance of equity, entry into promissory notes, or otherwise) outside of Drawdown Requests.

 

1.4De-SPAC Payment. Any amounts funded by the Sponsor to the SPAC under a Drawdown Request shall not accrue interest and shall be promptly repaid by the SPAC to the Sponsor upon the De- SPAC Closing. Following receipt of such sums from the SPAC, and in any event within 5 business days of the De-SPAC Closing, the Sponsor or SPAC shall pay to the Investor, an amount equal to all Capital Calls funded under this Agreement (the “De-SPAC Payment”). The SPAC and Sponsor are jointly and severally obligated to make the De-SPAC Payment to the Investor. The Investor may elect at the De-SPAC Closing to receive such De-SPAC Payment in cash or shares of Class A Common Stock at a rate of 1 Class A Common Stock for each $10 of the Capital Calls funded under this Agreement. If the SPAC liquidates without consummating a De-SPAC, any amounts remaining in the Sponsor or SPAC’s cash accounts, not including the SPAC’s trust account, will be paid to the Investor within five (5) days of the liquidation.

 

1.5Default. In the event that Sponsor or SPAC defaults in its obligations under Section 1.2 or 1.4 of this Agreement and in the event that such default continues for a period of five (5) business days following written notice to the Sponsor and SPAC (the “Default Date”), Sponsor shall immediately transfer to Investor a number of shares of SPAC Common Stock owned by the Sponsor (the “Sponsor Shares”) equal to 32,000 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount funded by the Investor and the denominator of which is $340,000 and a number of private warrants owned by the Sponsor (“SPAC Private Warrants”) equal to 70,183 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount funded by the Investor and the denominator of which is $340,000 on the Default Date and shall transfer an additional 32,000 Sponsor Shares and 70,183 SPAC Private Warrants each month thereafter, until the default is cured; provided however, that in no event will Sponsor transfer any Sponsor Shares or SPAC Common Stock or warrants underlying any SPAC Private Warrants to Investor that would result in Investor (together with any other persons whose beneficial ownership of SPAC’s Common Stock would be aggregated with Investor’s for purposes of Section 13(d) or Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the applicable regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including any “group” of which Investor is a member) beneficially owning more than 19.9% of the outstanding shares of SPAC Common Stock (“Transfer Limit”); provided further than any Sponsor Shares that were not transferred to Investor because the transfer of such shares would have exceeded the Transfer Limit shall be promptly transferred to Investor upon written request from Investor to extent that, at the time of such request, such transfer would no longer exceed the Transfer Limit. Any such Sponsor Shares or SPAC Private Warrants received pursuant to this Section 1.5 shall be added to the registration statement required by Section 1.2 of this Agreement if not then effective and if such registration statement has been declared effective, such Sponsor Shares or SPAC Private Warrants shall be promptly registered, and in any event will be registered within 90 days. In the event that Investor notifies Sponsor and SPAC of any default pursuant to this Section 1.5 Sponsor shall not sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any Sponsor Shares or SPAC Private Warrants, other than in accordance with this Section 1.5, until such default is cured.

1.6Wiring Instructions. Within five (5) calendar days of receiving a Capital Notice, the Investor shall advance the Capital Call amount specified in the Capital Notice to the Sponsor by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to the wiring instructions provided separately in advance to the Investor. For clarity, the aggregate amount of the Capital Calls funded under this Agreement will not exceed the Investor’s Capital Contribution as adjusted under Section 1.3.

 

1.7Reimbursement. On the De-SPAC Closing, the Sponsor will pay the Investor an amount equal to the reasonable attorney fees incurred by the Investor in connection with this agreement not to exceed $5,000.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

Each Party hereby represents and warrants to each other Party as of the date of this Agreement that:

The execution, delivery and performance by the Party of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the relevant Party, and no further approval or authorization is required on the part of such Party. This Agreement will be valid and binding on each Party and enforceable against such Party in accordance with its terms, except as the same may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer or conveyance, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors rights generally and general equitable principles, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity.

 

2.2Acknowledgement. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the Subscription Shares, Sponsor Shares, SPAC Private Warrants and shares underlying the SPAC Private Warrants (collectively, the “Subject Securities”) have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or under any state securities laws and the Investor represents that, as applicable, it (a) is acquiring the Subject Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act with no present intention to distribute them to any person in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable U.S. state securities laws, (b) will not sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Subject Securities, except in compliance with the registration requirements or exemption provisions of the Securities Act and any applicable U.S. state securities laws, (c) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and in investments of this type that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment and related economic terms hereunder and of making an informed investment decision, and has conducted a review of the business and affairs of the SPAC that it considers sufficient and reasonable for purposes of making the transfer, and (d) is an “accredited investor” (as that term is defined by Rule 501 under the Securities Act).

2.3Trust Waiver. Investor hereby represents and warrants that it has read the final prospectus of the SPAC, dated as of March 15, 2021 and filed with the SEC on March 17, 2021 (the “SPAC Prospectus”),and understands that the SPAC has established a trust account (the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of the SPAC’s public stockholders (the “Public Stockholders”), and that, except as otherwise described in the SPAC Prospectus, the SPAC may disburse monies from the Trust Account only: (a) to the Public Stockholders in the event they elect to redeem their Company shares in connection with the consummation of the SPAC’s initial business combination (as such term is used in the SPAC Prospectus) (the “Business Combination”) or in connection with an extension of its deadline to consummate a Business Combination, (b) to the Public Stockholders if the SPAC fails to consummate a Business Combination within 24 months after the closing of the IPO (as such date may be extended by amendment to the SPAC’s organizational documents), (c) with respect to any interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, amounts necessary to pay for any taxes and up to $100,000 in dissolution expenses, or (d) to the SPAC after or concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination. For and in consideration of the SPAC entering into this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Investor hereby agrees that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Investor does not now and shall not at any time hereafter have, and waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claims of any kind it has or may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the Subject Securities, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account (or any distributions therefrom directly or indirectly to Public Stockholders (“Public Distributions”)), and agrees not to seek recourse or make or bring any action, suit, claim or other proceeding against the Trust Account or Public Distributions as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the Subject Securities, regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability. To the extent Investor commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, as a result of or arising out of, this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the Subject Securities, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against the SPAC or its Representatives (as defined below), Investor hereby acknowledges and agrees that Investor’s sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account (other than Public Distributions) and that such claim shall not permit Investor (or any person claiming on its behalf or in lieu of any of it) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein. Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 2.3 to the contrary, nothing herein shall (x) serve to limit or prohibit Investor’s right to pursue a claim against the SPAC for legal relief against assets held outside the Trust Account, (y) serve to limit or prohibit any claims that Investor may have in the future against the SPAC’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account to the SPAC (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, funds released to redeeming stockholders of the SPAC) and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds), or (z) be deemed to limit Investor’s right, title, interest or claim to the Trust Account by virtue of Investor’s record or beneficial ownership of securities of the SPAC acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Agreement, including to any redemption right with respect to any such securities of the SPAC.

2.4Restricted Securities. Investor hereby represents, acknowledges and warrants its representation of, understanding of and confirmation of the following:

 

Investor realizes that, unless subject to an effective registration statement, the Subject Securities cannot readily be sold as they will be restricted securities and therefore the Subject Securities must not be accepted unless Investor has liquid assets sufficient to assure that Investor can provide for current needs and possible personal contingencies;

 

Investor understands that, because SPAC is a “shell company” as contemplated under paragraph (i) of Rule 144, regardless of the amount of time that the Investor holds the Subject Securities, sales of the Subject Securities may only be made under Rule 144 upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including that SPAC is no longer a ’shell company’ and that SPAC has not been a ’shell company’ for at least the last 12 months-i.e., that no sales of Subject Securities can be made pursuant to Rule 144 until at least 12 months after the De-SPAC; and SPAC has filed with the SEC during the 12 months preceding the sale, all quarterly and annual reports required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended;

 

Investor confirms and represents that it is able (i) to bear the economic risk of the Subject Securities, (ii) to hold the Subject Securities for an indefinite period of time, and (iii) to afford a complete loss of the Subject Securities; and

 

Investor understands and agrees that a legend has been or will be placed on any certificate(s) or other document(s) evidencing the Subject Securities in substantially the following form:

 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED OR ANY STATE SECURITIES ACT. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS  (I) THEY SHALL HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES ACT, OR (11) AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, EXISTS.”

 

ln connection with a transfer, the SPAC shall take all steps necessary in order to remove the legend referenced in the preceding paragraph from the Subscription Shares and Sponsor Shares immediately following the earlier of (a) the effectiveness of a registration statement applicable to the Subscription Shares and Sponsor Shares and (b) any other applicable exception to the restrictions described in the legend occurs.

 

2.5Title to Securities. Sponsor agrees that Sponsor is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to, the Subject Securities and will, immediately prior to the transfer of the Subject Securities to Investor, be the record and beneficial owner of the Subject Securities, in each case, free and clear of all liens, pledges, security interests, charges, claims, encumbrances, agreements, options, voting trusts, proxies and other arrangements or restrictions of any kind (other than transfer restrictions and other terms and conditions that apply to the Subject Securities generally and applicable securities laws). The Subject Securities to be transferred, when transferred to Investor as provided herein, will be free and clear of all liens, pledges, security interests, charges, claims, encumbrances, agreements, options, voting trusts, proxies and other arrangements or restrictions of any kind (other than transfer restrictions and other terms and conditions that apply to the Founder Shares generally, under the Letter Agreement and applicable securities laws.

Exhibit 10.8

 

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

 

THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into effective as of November 12, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), by, between and among Palmeira Investment Limited (the “Investor”), Plum Acquisition Corp I., a Cayman Islands exempt company (“SPAC”), and Plum Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor”). Investor, SPAC and Sponsor are referred to in this Agreement individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”

 

WHEREAS, SPAC is a special purpose acquisition company that closed on its initial public offering on March 18, 2021, with 24 months to complete an initial business combination (a “De-SPAC”);

 

WHEREAS, SPAC held Special Meetings during which SPAC’s shareholders voted to approve proposals to extend the date by which the SPAC must consummate the De-SPAC from March 18, 2023 to June 18, 2024 (the “Extension”);

 

WHEREAS, the Sponsor currently holds SPAC Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, initially purchased in a private placement prior to SPAC’s initial public offering (the “Founder Shares”)

 

WHEREAS, as of the date of this Agreement, SPAC has not completed a De-SPAC; and

 

WHEREAS, Sponsor is seeking to raise up to $800,000 to fund the Extension and to provide working capital to the SPAC.

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Investor has agreed to fund $800,000 (such amount, the “Investor Capital Contribution”).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, which are incorporated in this Agreement as if fully set forth below, and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreement contained in this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties agree as follows.

 

ARTICLE I
SUBSCRIPTION AND DE-SPAC PAYMENT

 

1.1Capital Calls. From time to time, the SPAC will request funds from the Sponsor for working capital purposes or for the Sponsor to fund an extension payment pursuant to the SPAC’s Memorandum and Articles of Association (each a “Drawdown Request”). On at least ten (10) calendar days’ prior written notice (“Capital Notice”), the Sponsor may require a drawdown against the Investor Capital Contribution in order to meet the Sponsor’s commitment to the SPAC under a Drawdown Request (each a “Capital Call”) subject to the following conditions:

 

1.1.1The Capital Notice to the Investor shall include (i) the total amount requested by the SPAC under the Drawdown Request and (ii) the amount being called from the Investor.

 

1.1.2The aggregate amount of the Capital Calls shall not exceed the Investor Capital Contribution.

 

1.1.3A Capital Call of $500,000 of the Investor Capital Contribution will be called at signing; and

 

1.1.4A Capital Call of the remaining balance of the Investor Capital Contribution may be called by the Sponsor at its discretion.

 

 

 

 

1.2Sponsor Forfeiture; SPAC Issuance. In consideration of the Capital Call(s) made hereunder:

 

1.2.1Sponsor will forfeit 0.75 Class B ordinary share of the SPAC for each dollar the Investor funds pursuant to the Capital Call(s) hereunder (the “Sponsor Shares”) at the closing of a De-SPAC transaction (the “De-SPAC Closing”). If the De-SPAC Closing does not occur, Sponsor will forfeit any Sponsor Shares.

 

1.2.2At the De-SPAC Closing, the SPAC will issue to the Investor a number of shares of the SPAC’s common stock (the “Subscription Shares”) equal to the number of Sponsor Shares forfeited by the Sponsor pursuant to Section 1.2.1. If the De-SPAC Closing does not occur, Investor will not be entitled to receive any Subscription Shares.

 

1.2.3One-quarter of the Subscription Shares (the “Earnout Shares”) will be subject to the following earn-out provisions:

 

(i)50% of the Earnout Shares will be restricted and will vest if the VWAP of the SPAC’s common stock equals or exceeds $12.50 for any 20 trading days within any 30-day trading period from the time of the De-SPAC Closing through the tenth anniversary of the De-SPAC Closing (such period, the “Earnout Period”); and

 

(ii)50% of the Earnout Shares will be restricted and will vest if the VWAP of the SPAC’s common stock equals or exceeds $15.00 for any 20 trading days within any 30-day trading period during the Earnout Period.

 

The Investor may not transfer, assign, pledge or hypothecate any Earnout Shares, whether by operation of law or otherwise, nor may such Earnout Shares be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process, until such Earnout Shares shall have vested. The SPAC shall promptly notify the Investor and the transfer agent for the SPAC’s common stock of the vesting of the Earnout Shares. If any Earnout Shares do not vest during the Earnout Period, the Investor shall forfeit such Earnout Shares.

 

If, during the Earnout Period, the SPAC effects a sale, lease, exchange or other transfer, directly or indirectly, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the SPAC’s assets, or engages in a merger, consolidation, recapitalization or other transaction in which any person other than the SPAC or any wholly owned subsidiary of the SPAC becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 50% or more of the combined voting power of all interests in the SPAC, the Earnout Shares shall vest upon the closing of any such transaction if the value attributed to the SPAC in such transaction equals or exceeds (1) $12.50 per share, in the case of the Earnout Shares subject to (i) above, or (2) $15.00 per share, in the case of the Earnout Shares subject to (ii) above. If any Earnout Shares remain unvested following the closing of any such transaction and the SPAC is not the surviving entity of such transaction, the SPAC shall make provision for the roll-over of the Earnout Shares to the transferee, lessee or other successor in such transaction.

 

This Section 1.2.3 shall be automatically modified to reflect the terms of any earnout provisions applicable to the existing equity holders of Veea, Inc. (“Veea”) in the business combination agreement between the SPAC and Veea, or any ancillary document between the SPAC and Veea, each may be amended from time to time.

 

1.2.4Following the De-SPAC Closing, the SPAC shall provide Investor the same registration rights for the Subscription Shares as the SPAC provides to the Sponsor.

 

2

 

 

1.3Sponsor Commitment Rights. Each member of the Sponsor has the right to contribute any amount requested under each Drawdown Request (“Sponsor Capital Contribution”). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the ability of the SPAC or the Sponsor to enter into other agreements with each other or with other parties which shall provide for funding of the SPAC (through the issuance of equity, entry into promissory notes, or otherwise) outside of Drawdown Requests.

 

1.4Wiring Instructions. Within ten (10) calendar days of receiving a Capital Notice, the Investor shall advance the Capital Call amount specified in the Capital Notice to the Sponsor by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to the wiring instructions provided separately in advance to the Investor. For clarity, the aggregate amount of the Capital Calls funded under this Agreement, excluding any Capital Calls funded by Sponsor Capital Contributions as set forth under Section 1.3, will not exceed the Investor Capital Contribution.

2.3Trust Waiver. Investor hereby represents and warrants that it has read the final prospectus of the SPAC, dated as of March 15, 2021 and filed with the SEC on March 17, 2021 (the “SPAC Prospectus”),and understands that the SPAC has established a trust account (the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of the SPAC’s public stockholders (the “Public Stockholders”), and that, except as otherwise described in the SPAC Prospectus, the SPAC may disburse monies from the Trust Account only: (a) to the Public Stockholders in the event they elect to redeem their Company shares in connection with the consummation of the SPAC’s initial business combination (as such term is used in the SPAC Prospectus) (the “Business Combination”) or in connection with an extension of its deadline to consummate a Business Combination, (b) to the Public Stockholders if the SPAC fails to consummate a Business Combination within 24 months after the closing of the IPO (as such date may be extended by amendment to the SPAC’s organizational documents), (c) with respect to any interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, amounts necessary to pay for any taxes and up to $100,000 in dissolution expenses, or (d) to the SPAC after or concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination. For and in consideration of the SPAC entering into this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Investor hereby agrees that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Investor does not now and shall not at any time hereafter have, and waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claims of any kind it has or may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the Subscription Shares, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account (or any distributions therefrom directly or indirectly to Public Stockholders (“Public Distributions”)), and agrees not to seek recourse or make or bring any action, suit, claim or other proceeding against the Trust Account or Public Distributions as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the Subscription Shares, regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability. To the extent Investor commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, as a result of or arising out of, this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the Subscription Shares, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against the SPAC or its Representatives (as defined below), Investor hereby acknowledges and agrees that Investor’s sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account (other than Public Distributions) and that such claim shall not permit Investor (or any person claiming on its behalf or in lieu of any of it) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein. Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 2.3 to the contrary, nothing herein shall (x) serve to limit or prohibit Investor’s right to pursue a claim against the SPAC for legal relief against assets held outside the Trust Account, (y) serve to limit or prohibit any claims that Investor may have in the future against the SPAC’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account to the SPAC (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, funds released to redeeming stockholders of the SPAC) and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds), or (z) be deemed to limit Investor’s right, title, interest or claim to the Trust Account by virtue of Investor’s record or beneficial ownership of securities of the SPAC acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Agreement, including to any redemption right with respect to any such securities of the SPAC. For purposes of this Agreement, “Representatives” with respect to any person shall mean such person’s affiliates and its and its affiliate’s respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, advisors, agents and other representatives.

 

2.4Restricted Securities. Investor hereby represents, acknowledges and warrants its representation of, understanding of and confirmation of the following:

 

Investor realizes that, unless subject to an effective registration statement, the Subscription Shares cannot readily be sold as they will be restricted securities and therefore the Subscription Shares must not be accepted unless Investor has liquid assets sufficient to assure that Investor can provide for current needs and possible personal contingencies;

 

Investor understands that, because SPAC is a “shell company” as contemplated under paragraph (i) of Rule 144, regardless of the amount of time that the Investor holds the Subscription Shares, sales of the Subscription Shares may only be made under Rule 144 upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including that SPAC is no longer a ‘shell company’ and that SPAC has not been a ‘shell company’ for at least the last 12 months-i.e., that no sales of Subscription Shares can be made pursuant to Rule 144 until at least 12 months after the De-SPAC Closing; and SPAC has filed with the SEC during the 12 months preceding the sale, all quarterly and annual reports required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended;

 

4

 

 

Investor confirms and represents that it is able (i) to bear the economic risk of the Subscription Shares, (ii) to hold the Subscription Shares for an indefinite period of time, and (iii) to afford a complete loss of the Subscription Shares; and

 

Investor understands and agrees that a legend has been or will be placed on any certificate(s) or other document(s) evidencing the Subscription Shares in substantially the following form:

 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED OR ANY STATE SECURITIES ACT. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS (I) THEY SHALL HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES ACT, OR (11) AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, EXISTS.”

 

ln connection with a transfer, the SPAC shall take all steps necessary in order to remove the legend referenced in the preceding paragraph from the Subscription Shares immediately following the earlier of (a) the effectiveness of a registration statement applicable to the Subscription Shares and (b) any other applicable exception to the restrictions described in the legend occurs.

 

2.5Title to Securities. Sponsor hereby represents and warrants that Sponsor is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to, the Sponsor Shares. The SPAC hereby represents and warrants that the Subscription Shares, when issued to Investor as provided herein, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and, other than as set forth in Section 1.2.3, free and clear of all liens, pledges, security interests, charges, claims, encumbrances, agreements, options, voting trusts, proxies and other arrangements or restrictions of any kind (other than under applicable securities laws).

All payments on this Note shall be made by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds or as otherwise determined by the Maker to such account as the Payee may from time to time designate by written notice in accordance with the provisions of this Note

 

1. Principal. The principal balance of this Note shall be payable by Maker on the earlier of: (i) March 18, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”) or (ii) the date on which the Maker consummates an initial business combination (the “Business Combination”). The principal balance may be prepaid at any time. Under no circumstances shall any individual, including but not limited to any officer, director, employee or shareholder of Maker, be obligated personally for any obligations or liabilities of Maker hereunder.

 

2. Interest. No interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note.

 

3. Drawdown Requests.

The principal of this Note may be drawn down from time to time prior to the earlier of: (i) June18, 2024; or (ii) the date on which Maker consummates an initial business combination, upon written request from Maker to Payee (each, a “Drawdown Request”). Each Drawdown Request must state the amount to be drawn down and must not be an amount less than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000), unless agreed upon by Maker and Payee. Payee shall fund each Drawdown Request no later than five business days after receipt of a Drawdown Request; provided, however, that the maximum amount of drawdowns collectively under this Note shall not exceed the Maximum Amount. Once an amount is drawn down under this Note, such amount shall not be available for future Drawdown Requests, even if such amount is prepaid. No fees, payments or other amounts shall be due to Payee in connection with, or as a result of, any Drawdown Request by Maker. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all payments shall be applied, first, to payment in full of any costs incurred in the collection of any sum due under this Note, including (without limitation) reasonable attorneys’ fees, and second, to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Note.

 

4. Application of Payments.

The Conversion Warrants and their underlying securities, and any other equity security of Maker issued or issuable with respect to the foregoing by way of a share dividend or share split or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, amalgamation, consolidation or reorganization, shall be entitled to the registration rights set forth in Section 16 hereof.

c. The Holders shall pay any and all issue and other taxes that may be payable with respect to any issue or delivery of the Conversion Warrants upon conversion of this Note pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the Holders shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from any transfer requested by the Holders in connection with any such conversion.

c. Voluntary Bankruptcy, Etc. The entry of a decree or order for relief by a court having jurisdiction in the premises in respect of Maker in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of Maker or for any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days.

ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

 

Plum Acquisition Corp. I (the “Company” or “Plum”) was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on January 11, 2021. The Company was incorporated 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 (the “Business Combination”). The Company has not selected any Business Combination target. The Company will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic region in its identification and acquisition of a target company. The Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

 

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from January 11, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“IPO”), which is described below, and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a business combination. The Company believes it 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 on investments in the Company’s Trust account and will recognize changes in the fair value of the warrant liabilities as other income (expense).

 

The Company’s Sponsor is Plum Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on March 15, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). On March 18, 2021, the Company consummated the initial public offering (the “Public Offering” or “IPO”) of 30,000,000 units (the “Units), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $300,000,000, which is discussed in Note 3.

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 6,000,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”), at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, which is discussed in Note 4. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, generating gross proceeds of $9,000,000, which is described in Note 4.

 

The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option from March 18, 2021 to purchase up to an additional 4,500,000 Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the IPO price less the underwriting discounts and commissions.

 

The underwriter partially exercised the over-allotment option on April 14, 2021 and purchased 1,921,634 Units at $10.00 per Unit. Simultaneously with the issuance and sale of the Units on April 14, 2021, the Company consummated the private placement with the Sponsor for an aggregate of 256,218 warrants to purchase Class A Ordinary Shares for $1.50 per warrant generating total proceeds of $384,327. On April 14, 2021, $19,216,340, net of the underwriter discount, was deposited in the Company’s Trust account.

 

A total of $19,216,340 was placed in a U.S.-based trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. Transaction costs of the IPO and the exercise of the over-allotment option amounted to $18,336,269 consisting of $6,384,327 of underwriting discount, $11,172,572 of deferred underwriting discount, and $779,370 of other offering costs. Of the transaction costs, $538,777 is included in transaction costs on consolidated the statements of operations and $17,797,492 is included in consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ deficit.

 

Following the closing of the Public Offering on March 18, 2021 and the partial exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option, $319,216,340 (approximately $10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Public Offering, including the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, was deposited in a trust account (“Trust Account”) located in the United States at Goldman Sachs, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and was invested in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invests only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. 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 proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will not be released from the Trust Account (1) to the Company, until the completion of our initial Business Combination, or (2) to the Public Shareholders, until the earliest of (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination, and then only in connection with those Class A ordinary shares that such shareholders properly elected to redeem, subject to the limitations described herein, (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 (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide holders of its Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete its initial Business Combination within 27 months from the closing of the IPO(or up to 36 months from the closing of our initial public offering if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination) (the “Combination Period”) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of the Class A ordinary shares, and (iii) the redemption of the public shares if the Company has not consummated its Business Combination within the Combination Period, subject to applicable law. Public Shareholders who redeem their Class A ordinary shares in connection with a shareholder vote described in clause (ii) in the preceding sentence shall not be entitled to funds from the Trust Account upon the subsequent completion of an initial Business Combination or liquidation if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, with respect to such Class A ordinary shares so redeemed. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Public Shareholders (as defined below).

 

The Company will provide shareholders (the “Public Shareholders”) of its Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001, sold in the IPO (the “Public Shares”), 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) without a shareholder vote by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the 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 business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay the Company’s taxes, if any, divided by the number of then-outstanding Public Shares, subject to certain limitations. The amount in the Trust Account is initially anticipated to be $10.00 per Public Share.

 

These Public Shares have been classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company receives the approval of an ordinary resolution.

 

The Company will have to December 18, 2023, or until June 18, 2024, if elected to extend the Termination Date up to nine times by an additional one month each time, to complete an initial Business Combination. However, 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 not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of the then-outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and its board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

 

Extraordinary General Meeting and Redemption of Shares

 

On March 15, 2023, Plum held an Extraordinary General Meeting of its Shareholders (1) to amend Plum’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Articles”) to extend the date (the “Termination Date”) by which Plum has to consummate a business combination (the “Articles Extension”) from March 18, 2023 (the “Original Termination Date”) to June 18, 2023 (the “Articles Extension Date”) and to allow Plum, without another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date to consummate a business combination on a monthly basis for up to nine times by an additional one month each time after the Articles Extension Date, by resolution of Plum’s board of directors if requested by the Sponsor, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until March 18, 2024, or a total of up to twelve months after the Original Termination Date, unless the closing of Plum’s initial business combination shall have occurred prior to such date (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”) and (2) to amend the Articles to eliminate from the Articles the limitation that Plum may not redeem Class A ordinary shares to the extent that such redemption would result in Plum having net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a 51-1(g)(1)of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of less than $5,000,001 (the “Redemption Limitation”) in order to allow Plum to redeem Public Shares irrespective of whether such redemption would exceed the Redemption Limitation (the “Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal”). The shareholders of Plum approved the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal at the Shareholder Meeting and on March 15, 2023, Plum filed the amendment to the Articles with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands.

 

In connection with the vote to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal, the holders of 26,693,416 Class A ordinary shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of $10.23 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $273,112,311.62.

 

The Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares, (ii) 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 Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide holders of the Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its public shares if the Company does not complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of the Class A ordinary shares, (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares they hold if the Company fails to consummate an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (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 its initial Business Combination within the prescribed time frame) and (iv) vote their Founder Shares and public shares in favor of our initial Business Combination.

 

On September 13, 2023, Plum held an Extraordinary General Meeting of its Shareholders (“September Shareholder Meeting”) (1) to amend the Articles to extend Articles Extension Termination Date from the Articles Extension Date to December 18, 2023 (the “Second Articles Extension Date”) and to allow the Company, without another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date to consummate a business combination on a monthly basis for up to six times by an additional one month each time after the Second Articles Extension Date, by resolution of the Company’s board of directors if requested by the Sponsor, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until June 18, 2024, or a total of up to nine months after the Termination Date, unless the closing of the Company’s initial business combination shall have occurred prior to such date (the “Second Extension Amendment Proposal”) and (2) to authorize a reduction in the funds held in the Trust Account to an amount equal to $20,000,000.00 (the “Trust Reduction”), which amount will be used to compulsorily redeem up to 3,228,218 Public Shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the redemption date, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then-outstanding public shares (“Trust Reduction Proposal”). The shareholders of the Company approved the Second Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Reduction Proposal at the Shareholder Meeting and on September 13, 2023, the Company filed the amendment to the Articles with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands.

 

In connection with the vote to approve the Second Extension Amendment Proposal, (i) the Sponsor, as the sole holder of Class B Ordinary Shares, voluntarily elected to convert all Class B Ordinary Shares to Class A Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Class B Conversion”) and (ii) the holders of 1,972,625 Class A ordinary shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of $10.72 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $21,142,260.78 (the “Redemption”). Upon completion of the Class B Conversion and the Redemption, 7,980,409 shares of Class A common stock, excluding 3,255,593 shares of Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption, and no shares of Class B common stock remain issued and outstanding.

 

Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Going Concern

 

The Company’s liquidity needs up to March 18, 2021 had been satisfied through a capital contribution from the Sponsor of $25,000 (see Note 5) for the Founder Shares. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors, and third parties have committed to provide the Company Working Capital Loans (see Note 5). As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $1,000,000 outstanding under Working Capital Loans.

 

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $92,722 in its operating bank account and a working capital deficit of $14,556,550.

 

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern”, management has determined that the Company has and will continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our initial Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our initial Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our initial Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Accounts. In addition, following our initial Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

Further, management has determined that if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by December 18, 2023 or by June 18, 2024 if the Board of Directors adopts resolutions, upon request of the Sponsor, to extend the Termination Date up to nine times by an additional one month each time (the “Combination Period”), then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution as well as the Company’s working capital deficit raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after the Combination Period. The Company intends to complete a Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date.

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 independent registered public accounting firm 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 stockholder 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 condensed 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 unaudited condensed consolidated 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the subscription and forward purchase agreements and warrants liabilities. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and 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 did not have any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

 

Investments Held in Trust Account

 

At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, funds held in the Trust Account include $35,096,667 and $323,911,642, respectively, of investments held in a money market fund characterized as Level 1 investments within the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 (as defined below). The Company classifies its money market fund as trading securities in accordance with ASC 320 “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities.”

 

Convertible Promissory Note

 

The Company accounts for its convertible promissory note under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). Under 815-15-25, the election can be at the inception of a financial instrument to account for the instrument under the fair value option under ASC 825, “Financial Instruments” (“ASC 825”). The Company has made such election for its convertible promissory note. Using fair value option, the convertible promissory note is required to be recorded at its initial fair value on the date of issuance and each balance sheet date thereafter. Differences between the face value of the note and fair value at issuance are recognized as either an expense in the consolidated statements of operations (if issued at a premium) or as a capital contribution (if issued at a discount). Changes in the estimated fair value of the notes are recognized as non-cash gains or losses in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

 

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

 

The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A ordinary shares that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

 

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reflected on the consolidated balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

 

 

Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, December 31, 2022  $323,911,642 
Less:     
Redemptions of ordinary shares   (294,254,572)
Plus:     
Accretion adjustment of carrying value to redemption value   5,439,597 
Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, September 30, 2023  $35,096,667 

 

Offering Costs

 

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A  — “Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the Public Offering. Offering costs are charged to shareholders’ deficit or the consolidated statements of operations based on the relative value of the Warrants to the proceeds received from the Units sold upon the completion of the IPO.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, (excluding the promissory note and Warrants) which qualify as financial instruments under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the consolidated balance sheets.

 

Warrant Liabilities

 

The Company accounts for the Warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the specific terms of the Warrants and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the Warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the Warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the holders of the Warrants could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of issuance of the Warrants and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the Warrants are outstanding. For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, such warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, liability-classified warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of such warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the consolidated statements of operations.

 

The Company accounts for the Public and Private warrants in accordance with guidance contained in ASC815-40. Such guidance provides that because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant must be recorded as a liability (See Note 6).

 

Forward Purchase Agreement

 

The Company evaluated the forward purchase agreement (“FPA”) to determine if such instrument is a derivative or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, will be re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. The 2,500,000 forward purchase securities were recognized as a derivative liability in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, the Company recognized the forward purchase securities as a liability at its fair value and adjust the instrument to its fair value at each reporting period. The liability will be subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised. The fair value of the forward purchase securities is measured using a Probability Weighted Expected Return Model that values the FPA based on future projections of various potential outcomes.

 

On June 15, 2023, the Company received a termination notice (the “Notice”) from Sakuu Corporation (“Sakuu”), that terminated, effective June 14, 2023, the Business Combination Agreement, dated March 2, 2023, and in light of the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, the FPA was also terminated.

 

Subscription Agreement

 

On March 16, 2023, the Company entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund (the “Investor”) and the Sponsor (collectively, the “Parties”), the purpose of which is for the Sponsor to raise up to $1,500,000 from the Investor to fund the Articles Extension and to provide working capital to the Company during the Articles Extension (“Investor’s Capital Commitment”). In consideration of the funds, Sponsor will transfer 0.75 of a Class A ordinary share for each dollar the Investor funds (the “Subscription Shares”) to the Investor at the closing of the Business Combination. The Subscription Shares shall be subject to the Lock-Up Period as defined in section 5 of the Sponsor Letter Agreement.

 

On July 14, 2023, the Company entered into an amended and restated subscription agreement (“A&R Subscription Agreement”) with Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund (the “Investor”) and Plum Partners, LLC (the “Sponsor” and, together with the Company and Investor, the “Parties”), which amends and restates the Subscription Agreement. The purpose of the A&R Subscription Agreement remains for the Sponsor to raise up to $1,500,000 from the Investor to fund the Articles extension and to provide working capital to the Company during the Articles Extension. See Note 8 for further details.

 

On July 25, 2023, the Company entered into a second subscription agreement (“Second Subscription Agreement”) with the Investor and Sponsor, the purpose of which is for the Sponsor to raise up to $1,090,000 from the Investor to fund the Extension and to provide working capital to the Company during the Extension. In consideration of the funds, Sponsor will transfer 1 share of a Class A ordinary share for each dollar the Investor funds (the “Subscription Shares”) to the Investor at the closing of the Business Combination. The Subscription Shares shall be subject to the Lock-Up Period as defined in section 5 of the Sponsor Letter Agreement. See Note 8 for further details.

 

The Company recorded the fair value of the subscription liability on the consolidated balance sheets and the related expense on its consolidated statements of operations. The initial fair value of the subscription liability was estimated using a probability weighted expected return model (Note 7).

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

FASB ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) defines fair value, the methods used to measure fair value and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between the buyer and the seller at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the valuation techniques consistent with the market approach, income approach and cost approach shall be used to measure fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs, which represent the assumptions used by the buyer and seller in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are further defined as observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are those that buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that the buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

 

The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:

 

Level 1 — Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not being applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
   
Level 2 — Valuations based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities, or (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market through correlation or other means.
   
Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

 

The fair value of the Company’s certain assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the consolidated balance sheets. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and promissory note to related parties are estimated to approximate the carrying values as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 due to the short maturities of such instruments. See Note 7 for additional information on assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no unrecognized tax benefits 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 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. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

 

Net (Loss) Income Per Ordinary Share

 

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. The potential 12,640,544 ordinary shares for outstanding warrants to purchase the Company’s shares were excluded from diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 because the warrants are contingently exercisable, and the contingencies have not yet been met. As a result, diluted net (loss) income per ordinary share is the same as basic net (loss) income per ordinary share for the period. The table below presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net (loss) income per share for each class of ordinary share:

Recent Accounting Standards

 

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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

NOTE 3 — INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

 

On March 18, 2021, the Company sold 30,000,000 Units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, and one-fifth of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 6).

 

On April 14, 2021, the Company sold an additional 1,921,634 Units at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit, each consisting of one Class A ordinary share and one-fifth of one redeemable warrant.

 

All of the 31,921,634 Class A ordinary share sold as part of the Units in the IPO contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, 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 certificate of incorporation. In accordance with 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 share subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity.

 

The Class A ordinary share is subject to SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC480-10-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 recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur. Immediately upon the closing of the IPO, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable ordinary share resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.

PRIVATE PLACEMENTS

NOTE 4 — PRIVATE PLACEMENTS

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 6,000,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $9,000,000, in a private placement. Simultaneously with the issuance and sale of the Units on April 14, 2021, the Company consummated the private placement with the Sponsor for an aggregate of 256,218 warrants to purchase Class A Ordinary Shares for $1.50 per warrant generating total proceeds of $384,327. A portion of the proceeds from the private placements were added to the proceeds from the IPO held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

 

The Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the warrants sold as part of the units in the IPO. The Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination (except pursuant to limited exceptions to the Company’s officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with the initial purchasers of the Private Placement Warrants) and they will not be redeemable by the Company so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. The Sponsor, or its permitted transferees, has the option to exercise the Private Placement Warrants on a cashless basis.

 

If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company in all redemption scenarios and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the units sold in the IPO.

Founder Shares

 

On January 13, 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.003 per share, to cover certain offering costs in consideration for 8,625,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Founder Shares”). Up to 1,125,000 Founder Shares were subject to forfeiture to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriter. On April 14, 2021 the underwriter partially exercised its over-allotment option buying 1,921,634 Units thus reducing the total number of share subject to forfeiture to 644,591. On May 2, 2021 the underwriter’s over-allotment option expired and 644,591 Founder Shares were forfeited to the Company.

 

The Sponsor and the Company’s directors and executive officers have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until earliest of (A) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination and (B) subsequent to the initial Business Combination, (x) if the closing price of our Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Public Shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property (the “Lock-up”).Any permitted transferees would be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the Sponsor and the directors and executive officers with respect to any Founder Shares.

 

Promissory Note — Related Party

 

On January 13, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the IPO pursuant to a promissory note. This loan is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of November 30, 2021 or the completion of the IPO. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company has no borrowings under the Note. Borrowings under this note are no longer available.

 

On March 16, 2023, Plum issued an unsecured promissory note in the total principal amount of up to $250,000 (the “Promissory Note”) to Mr. Kanishka Roy, individually and as a member of Plum Partners LLC. Mr. Roy funded the initial principal amount of $250,000 on March 14, 2023. The Promissory Note does not bear interest and matures upon the consummation of Plum’s initial business combination with one or more businesses or entities. In the event Plum does not consummate a business combination, the Promissory Note will be repaid upon Plum’s liquidation only from amounts remaining outside of Plum’s trust account, if any. The Promissory Note is subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of which automatically trigger the unpaid principal balance of the Promissory Note and all other sums payable with regard to the Promissory Note becoming immediately due and payable. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company has $250,000 and $0 borrowings under the Note.

 

Working Capital Loans

 

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors, and third parties have committed to loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company will repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to it. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital 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. Up to $1,500,000 of the Working Capital Loans may be convertible into Private Placement Warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Except as set forth above, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. Prior to the completion of the initial Business Combination, the Company does not expect to seek loans from parties other than the Sponsor its affiliates or any members of the Company’s management team as the Company does not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in the Company’s Trust Account.

 

On January 31, 2022, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $500,000 to Mike Dinsdale (the “Payee”). The Note does not bear interest and is repayable in full upon consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination. The Company may draw on the Note from time to time, in increments of not less than $50,000, until the earlier of March 18, 2023 or the date on which the Company consummates a Business Combination. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, the Note shall not be repaid and all amounts owed under it will be forgiven. Upon the consummation of a Business Combination, the Payee shall have the option, but not the obligation, to convert the principal balance of the Note, in whole or in part, into private placement warrants (as defined in that certain Warrant Agreement, dated March 18, 2021, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company), at a price of $1.50 per private placement warrant. The Note is subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of which automatically trigger the unpaid principal balance of the Note and all other sums payable with regard to the Note becoming immediately due and payable.

 

On July 11, 2022, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Second Note”) in the principal amount of $500,000 to Ursula Burns (the “Second Payee”). The Note does not bear interest and is repayable in full upon consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination. Up to fifty percent (50%) of the principal of the Note may be drawn down from time to time at the Company’s option prior to August 25, 2022 and any or all of the remaining undrawn principal of the Note may be drawn down from time to time at the Company’s option after August 25, 2022, in each case in increments of not less than $50,000. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, the Second Note shall not be repaid and all amounts owed under it will be forgiven. Upon the consummation of a Business Combination, the Second Payee shall have the option, but not the obligation, to convert the principal balance of the Second Note, in whole or in part, into private placement warrants, at a price of $1.50 per private placement warrant. The Second Note is subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of which automatically trigger the unpaid principal balance of the Second Note and all other sums payable with regard to the Second Note becoming immediately due and payable.

 

The Note and Second Note are reported at cost in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as the fair value adjustment associated with the conversion is deemed to be immaterial.

 

In connection with the Subscription Agreements (as described below), the Company issued unsecured promissory notes (“Convertible Promissory Notes”), dated as of March 17, 2023, and July 25, 2023, in the principal amount of up to $1,500,000 and $1,090,000, respectively, to Sponsor, which may be drawn down by the Company from time to time prior to the consummation of the Company’s Business Combination. The Convertible Promissory Notes do not bear interest, matures on the date of consummation of the Business Combination and is subject to customary events of default. The Convertible Promissory Notes will be repaid only to the extent that the Company has funds available to it outside of its trust account established in connection with its initial public offering and is convertible into private placement warrants of the Company at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the Sponsor. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. The Company has evaluated the accounting treatment of the convertible notes under ASC 815. The Company has determined that the conversion feature would be the only consideration to be provided to Sponsor if Sponsor exercises the conversion feature. As of September 30, 2023, the fair value of the conversion feature embedded in the Convertible Promissory Note has been determined to have de minis value.

 

Subscription Agreement

 

On March 16, 2023, the Sponsor entered into a Subscription Agreement with Investor, pursuant to which Investor agreed to pay the Sponsor an aggregate of $480,000 to fund the Company’s working capital requirements during the Articles Extension and the Sponsor agreed to assign to Investor, effective as of the Closing Date or the earlier termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms or otherwise, an aggregate of 360,000 Founder Shares. Investor paid $480,000 to the Sponsor on March 17, 2023.

WARRANTS

NOTE 6 — WARRANTS

 

The Public Warrants will become exercisable at $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, at any time commencing 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination; provided that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis under the circumstances specified in the warrant agreement) and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder. The warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

 

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than twenty business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, it will use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, and the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement and a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement, provided that if the Class A ordinary shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but the Company will use its commercially reasonably efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. If a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption, but the Company will use its commercially reasonably efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of Class A ordinary shares equal to the lesser of (A) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (as defined below) less the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value and (B) 0.361. The “fair market value” as used in this paragraph shall mean the volume weighted average price of the Class A ordinary shares for the 10 trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received by the warrant agent.

 

In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the Class A ordinary share underlying such unit.

 

Redemption of Warrants When the Price per Class A Ordinary Share Equals or Exceeds $18.00

 

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants (except with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

 

in whole and not in part;

 

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

 

upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and

 

if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three trading days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

 

Redemption of Warrants When the Price per Class A Ordinary Share Equals or Exceeds $10.00

 

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:

 

in whole and not in part;

 

at $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares, based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of our Class A ordinary shares (as defined above);

 

if, and only if, the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $10.00 per public share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant) for any 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending three trading days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and

 

if the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant), the Private Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding public warrants, as described above.

 

In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of our Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described above will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $10.00 per share redemption trigger price described above will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]  
RECURRING FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

NOTE 7 — RECURRING FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

Investments Held in Trust Account

 

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the investments in the Company’s Trust Account consisted of $35.1 million and $323.9 million in U.S. Money Market funds, respectively. The Company considers all investments with original maturities of more than three months but less than one year to be short-term investments.

 

Fair values of the Company’s investments are classified as Level 1 utilizing quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets.

 

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company’s permitted investments consist of U.S. Money Market funds. Fair values of these investments are determined by Level 1 inputs utilizing quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets. The Company’s initial value of the warrant liability was based on a valuation model utilizing management judgment and pricing inputs from observable and unobservable markets with less volume and transaction frequency than active markets and classified as level 3. The subsequent measurement of the Public Warrants is classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market price of these warrants. The subsequent measurement of the Private Warrants is classified as Level 2 because these warrants are economically equivalent to the Public warrants, based on the terms of the Private Warrant agreement, and as such their value is principally derived by the value of the Public Warrants. Significant deviations from these estimates and inputs could result in a material change in fair value. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were no transfers amongst level 1, 2, and 3 values during the period. At December 31, 2021, the Company reclassified the Public Warrants and Private Warrants from Level 3 to Level 1 and Level 2, respectively.

 

The fair value of the subscription liability was $9,191,162 as of September 30, 2023. The initial fair value of the subscription liability was estimated using a probability weighted expected return model. The subscription liability is considered to be a Level 3 financial instrument. The debt discount is being amortized to interest expense as a non-cash charge over the term of the subscription liability, in which is generally the Company’s expected Business Combination date at the time of each draw. During the period ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded $3,815,529 of interest expense related to the amortization of the debt discount. The remaining balance of the debt discount as of September 30, 2023 amounted to $4,372,334.

 

The FPA liability is measured at fair value using a probability weighted expected return model based on future projections of various potential outcomes. The FPA liability is considered to be a Level 3 financial instrument. On June 15, 2023, the Company received a termination notice from Sakuu, that terminated, effective June 14, 2023, the Business Combination Agreement, dated March 2, 2023. In light of the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, the FPA was also terminated. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 there was no FPA liability outstanding.

 

The conversion feature of the Convertible Promissory Notes is measured at fair value using a Monte Carlo model that fair values the compound option. The fair value of the conversion feature of the Convertible Promissory Notes was $0 as of September 30, 2023.

 

The following table presents fair value information as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

 

Forward Purchase Agreement Liability

 

The estimated fair value of the FPA liability on March 1, 2023 (initial measurement) is determined using Level 3 inputs. The expected term was based on management assumptions regarding the timing and likelihood of completing a business combination. The FPA liability is discounted to net present values using risk free rates. Discount rates were based on current risk-free rates based on the estimated term.

 

On June 15, 2023, the Company received a termination notice from Sakuu, that terminated, effective June 14, 2023, the Business Combination Agreement, dated March 2, 2023. In light of the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, the FPA was also terminated. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 there was no FPA liability outstanding.

 

The following table presents the changes in the fair value of the forward purchase agreement (“FPA”) liability:

 

   FPA 
Fair value as of January 1, 2023  $
 
Issuance of FPA liability   308,114 
Change in fair value   325,091

The changes in the fair value of the forward purchase agreement liability for the three and nine month ended September 30, 2023 are $0 and $308,114, respectively.

 

Subscription Liability

 

The estimated fair value of the subscription liability on March 17, 2023 (initial measurement), May 23, 2023, July 14, 2023 and July 25, 2023 are determined using Level 3 inputs. The expected term was based on management assumptions regarding the timing and likelihood of completing a business combination. Management also estimated whether a business combination would be completed. The subscription liability is discounted to net present values using risk free rates. Discount rates were based on current risk-free rates based on the actual simulated term using the following U.S. Treasury rates and using the linearly interpolated treasury rates between quoted terms.

 

The key inputs into the present value model for the commitment fee shares liability were as follows:

 

   March 17,   May 23,   July 14,   July 25,   September 30, 
   2023   2023   2023   2023   2023

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

NOTE 8 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Registration Rights

 

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the IPO. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registers such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Company’s completion of its initial Business Combination. However, the registration and shareholder rights agreement provide that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable Lock-up period, which occurs (i) in the case of the Founder Shares, as described in Note 5, and (ii) in the case of the Private Placement Warrants and the respective Class A ordinary shares underlying such warrants, 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

 

Underwriting Agreement

 

The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option from March 18, 2021 to purchase up to an additional 4,500,000 Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the IPO price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriter partially exercised the over-allotment option and, on April 14, 2021, the underwriter purchased 1,921,634 Units.

 

On March 18, 2021, the Company paid the underwriter’s fee of $6,000,000 upon the closing of the IPO. Upon partial exercise of the over-allotment option, the Company paid $384,327 to the underwriter.

 

In addition, the Underwriting Agreement provides $11,172,572 to be payable to the underwriter for deferred underwriting commissions. However, the underwriter, Goldman Sachs, waived any entitlement it has to such commissions under the Underwriting Agreement.

 

Waiver of Deferred Underwriting Discount

 

On January 16, 2023, Goldman Sachs, the underwriter of the Company’s initial public offering, waived any entitlement it had to its deferred underwriting discount in the amount of $11,172,572. In doing so, Goldman Sachs did not forfeit or waive any claim or right it otherwise has under the Underwriting Agreement dated March 15, 2021.

 

Service Provider Agreements

 

From time to time the Company has entered into and may enter into agreements with various services providers and advisors, including investment banks, to help us identify targets, negotiate terms of potential Business Combinations, consummate a Business Combination and/or provide other services. In connection with these agreements, the Company may be required to pay such service providers and advisors fees in connection with their services to the extent that certain conditions, including the closing of a potential Business Combination, are met. If a Business Combination does not occur, the Company would not expect to be required to pay these contingent fees. There can be no assurance that the Company will complete a Business Combination.

 

Business Combination Agreement

 

On March 2, 2023, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time and including the transactions contemplated thereby, collectively, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among the Company, Sakuu Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Sakuu”), Merger Sub I, and Merger Sub II. The Business Combination Agreement was terminated on June 14, 2023.

 

Subscription Agreement

 

As disclosed in the definitive proxy statement filed by the Company on February 24, 2023 (the “Proxy Statement”), relating to the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Shareholder Meeting”), the Sponsor agreed that if the Extension Amendment Proposal (as defined below) is approved, it or one or more of its affiliates, members or third-party designees (the “Lender”) will deposit into the Trust Account the lesser of (A) $480,000 or (B) $0.12 for each Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (each a “Public Share”) remaining after the holders of the Company’s Public Shares elected to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares (the “Redemption”), in exchange fora non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note issued by the Company to the Lender.

 

In addition, in the event that the Company has not consummated an initial business combination by the Articles Extension Date (defined below), without approval of the Company’s public shareholders, the Company may, by resolution of the Board, if requested by the Sponsor, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date (as defined below), extend the Termination Date up to nine times, each by one additional month (for a total of up to nine additional months to complete a Business Combination), provided that the Lender will deposit into the Trust Account for each such monthly extension, the lesser of (A) $160,000 or (B) $0.04 for each Public Share remaining after the Redemption, in exchange for a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note issued by Plum to the Lender.

 

Accordingly, on March 16, 2023, the Company entered into a subscription agreement (“Subscription Agreement”) with Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund (the “Investor”) and the Sponsor (collectively, the “Parties”), the purpose of which is for the Sponsor to raise up to $1,500,000 from the Investor to fund the Articles Extension (defined below) and to provide working capital to the Company during the Articles Extension (“Investor’s Capital Commitment”). As such, subject to, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Subscription Agreement, the Parties agreed,

 

(a)from time to time, the Company will request funds from the Sponsor for working capital purposes or for the Sponsor to fund an extension payment pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (each a “Drawdown Request”). The Sponsor, upon on at least five (5) calendar days’ prior written notice (“Capital Notice”), may require a drawdown against the Investor’s Capital Commitment under a Drawdown Request (each a “Capital Call”);

 

(b)in consideration of the Capital Calls, Sponsor will transfer 0.75 of a Class A ordinary share for each dollar the Investor funds pursuant to the Capital Call(s) (the “Subscription Shares”) to the Investor at the closing of the Business Combination (the “Business Combination Closing”). The Subscription Shares shall be subject to the Lock-Up Period as defined in section 5 of the Sponsor Letter Agreement dated March 2, 2023 (the “Letter Agreement”). The Subscription Shares shall not be subject to any additional transfer restrictions or any additional lock-up provisions, earn outs, or other contingencies and shall promptly be registered pursuant to the first registration statement filed by the Company or the surviving entity in relation to the Business Combination;

 

(c)each member of the Sponsor has the right to contribute any amount requested under each Drawdown Request (“Sponsor Capital Contribution”), provided that such Sponsor Capital Contributions will be made on terms no more favorable than the Investor’s Capital Commitment. In addition, the Company and Sponsor maintain the ability to enter into other agreements with each other or with other parties which shall provide for funding of the Company (through the issuance of equity, entry into promissory notes, or otherwise) outside of Drawdown Requests, provided that the terms of any such agreement between the Company or Sponsor with each other or any party or parties will be no more favorable than the terms under this Agreement;

 

(d)any amounts funded by the Sponsor to the Company under a Drawdown Request shall not accrue interest and shall be promptly repaid by the Company to the Sponsor upon the Business Combination Closing. Following receipt of such sums from the Company, and in any event within 5 business days of the Business Combination Closing, the Sponsor or Company shall pay to the Investor, an amount equal to all Capital Calls funded under the Subscription Agreement (the “Business Combination Payment”). The Investor may elect at the Business Combination Closing to receive such Business Combination Payment in cash or Class A ordinary shares at a rate of 1 Class A ordinary share for each $10 of the Capital Calls funded under the Subscription Agreement. If the Company liquidates without consummating the Business Combination, any amounts remaining in the Sponsor or Company’s cash accounts, not including monies held in Trust Account, will be paid to the Investor within five (5) days of the liquidation; and

 

(e)on the Business Combination Closing, the Sponsor will pay the Investor an amount equal to the reasonable attorney fees incurred by the Investor in connection with the Subscription Agreement not to exceed $5,000.

 

On July 14, 2023, the Company entered into an amended and restated subscription agreement (“A&R Subscription Agreement”) with Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund (the “Investor”) and Plum Partners, LLC (the “Sponsor” and, together with the Company and Investor, the “Parties”), which amends and restates the subscription agreement entered into by the Parties on March 16, 2023. The purpose of the A&R Subscription Agreement remains for the Sponsor to raise up to $1,500,000 from the Investor to fund the Articles Extension (defined below) and to provide working capital to the Company during the Articles Extension (“Investor’s Capital Commitment”). As such, subject to, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the A&R Subscription Agreement, the Parties agreed,

 

(a)from time to time, the Company will request funds from the Sponsor for working capital purposes or for the Sponsor to fund an extension payment pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (each a “Drawdown Request”). The Sponsor, upon on at least five (5) calendar days’ prior written notice (“Capital Notice”), may require a drawdown against the Investor’s Capital Commitment under a Drawdown Request (each a “Capital Call”);

 

(b)in consideration of the Capital Calls, Sponsor will transfer (i) 0.75 shares of Class A ordinary share for each dollar the Investor funds pursuant to the Capital Call(s) in respect of the initial contribution, and (ii) 1 share of Class A ordinary share for each dollar the Investor funds pursuant to the Capital Call(s) in respect of the second contribution (together, the “Subscription Shares”) to the Investor at the closing of the Business Combination (the “Business Combination Closing”). The Subscription Shares shall be subject to the Lock-Up Period as defined in section 5 of the Sponsor Letter Agreement dated March 2, 2023 (the “Letter Agreement”).

(c)each member of the Sponsor has the right to contribute any amount requested under each Drawdown Request (“Sponsor Capital Contribution”), provided that such Sponsor Capital Contributions will be made on terms no more favorable than the Investor’s Capital Commitment. In addition, the Company and Sponsor maintain the ability to enter into other agreements with each other or with other parties which shall provide for funding of the Company (through the issuance of equity, entry into promissory notes, or otherwise) outside of Drawdown Requests, provided that the terms of any such agreement between the Company or Sponsor with each other or any party or parties will be no more favorable than the terms under this Agreement;

 

(d)any amounts funded by the Sponsor to the Company under a Drawdown Request shall not accrue interest and shall be promptly repaid by the Company to the Sponsor upon the Business Combination Closing. Following receipt of such sums from the Company, and in any event within 5 business days of the Business Combination Closing, the Sponsor or Company shall pay to the Investor, an amount equal to all Capital Calls funded under the A&R Subscription Agreement (the “Business Combination Payment”). The Investor may elect at the Business Combination Closing to receive such Business Combination Payment in cash or Class A ordinary shares at a rate of 1 Class A ordinary share for each $10 of the Capital Calls funded under the A&R Subscription Agreement. If the Company liquidates without consummating the Business Combination, any amounts remaining in the Sponsor or Company’s cash accounts, not including the Company’s Trust Account, will be paid to the Investor within five (5) days of the liquidation;

 

(e)on the Business Combination Closing, the Sponsor will pay the Investor an amount equal to the reasonable attorney fees incurred by the Investor in connection with the A&R Subscription Agreement not to exceed $5,000; and

 

(f)an amount that is up to $160,000 (being the total and final amount that the Sponsor can call as the second contribution) may be requested by the Sponsor in one or more Capital Notices before July 31, 2023.

 

On July 25, 2023, the Company entered into a subscription agreement (“Second Subscription Agreement”) with Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund (the “Investor”) and Plum Partners, LLC (the “Sponsor” and, together with the Company and Investor, the “Parties”), the purpose of which is for the Sponsor to raise up to $1,090,000 from the Investor to fund the Extension (defined below) and to provide working capital to the Company during the Extension (“Investor’s Capital Commitment”). As such, subject to, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Second Subscription Agreement, the Parties agreed,

 

(a)from time to time, the Company will request funds from the Sponsor for working capital purposes or for the Sponsor to fund an extension payment pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (each a “Drawdown Request”). The Sponsor, upon on at least five (5) calendar days’ prior written notice (“Capital Notice”), may require a drawdown against the Investor’s Capital Commitment under a Drawdown Request (each a “Capital Call”). An amount of up to $750,000 of the Investor’s Capital Commitment was deemed the subject of a Capital Call concurrently with the execution of the Second Subscription Agreement, and an amount that is up to the balance of the Investor’s Capital Commitment may be called upon the filing of a registration statement by the SPAC or the surviving entity in relation to the business combination.

 

(b)in consideration of the Capital Calls, Sponsor will transfer 1 share of Class A ordinary share for each dollar the Investor funds pursuant to the Capital Call(s) in respect of the second contribution (together, the “Subscription Shares”) to the Investor at the closing of the Business Combination (the “Business Combination Closing”). The Subscription Shares shall be subject to the Lock-Up Period as defined in section 5 of the Sponsor Letter Agreement dated March 2, 2023 (the “Letter Agreement”). The Subscription Shares shall not be subject to any additional transfer restrictions or any additional lock-up provisions, earn outs, or other contingencies and shall promptly be registered pursuant to the first registration statement filed by the Company or the surviving entity in relation to the Business Combination;

 

(c)each member of the Sponsor has the right to contribute any amount requested under each Drawdown Request (“Sponsor Capital Contribution”), provided that such Sponsor Capital Contributions will be made on terms no more favorable than the Investor’s Capital Commitment. In addition, the Company and Sponsor maintain the ability to enter into other agreements with each other or with other parties which shall provide for funding of the Company (through the issuance of equity, entry into promissory notes, or otherwise) outside of Drawdown Requests, provided that the terms of any such agreement between the Company or Sponsor with each other or any party or parties will be no more favorable than the terms under the Second Subscription Agreement;

 

(d)any amounts funded by the Sponsor to the Company under a Drawdown Request shall not accrue interest and shall be promptly repaid by the Company to the Sponsor upon the Business Combination Closing. Following receipt of such sums from the Company, and in any event within 5 business days of the Business Combination Closing, the Sponsor or Company shall pay to the Investor, an amount equal to all Capital Calls funded under the Second Subscription Agreement (the “Business Combination Payment”). The Investor may elect at the Business Combination Closing to receive such Business Combination Payment in cash or Class A ordinary shares at a rate of 1 Class A ordinary share for each $10 of the Capital Calls funded under the Second Subscription Agreement. If the Company liquidates without consummating the Business Combination, any amounts remaining in the Sponsor or Company’s cash accounts, not including the Company’s Trust Account, will be paid to the Investor within five (5) days of the liquidation; and

 

(e)on the Business Combination Closing, the Sponsor will pay the Investor an amount equal to the reasonable attorney fees incurred by the Investor in connection with the Second Subscription Agreement not to exceed $5,000.

 

In connection with the Second Subscription Agreement, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note, dated as of July 25, 2023, in the principal amount of up to $1,090,000 to Sponsor, which may be drawn down by the Company from time to time prior to the consummation of the Company’s Business Combination. As noted, an initial draw in the amount of $750,000 occurred on July 25, 2023. The note does not bear interest, matures on the date of consummation of the Business Combination and is subject to customary events of default. The note will be repaid only to the extent that the Company has funds available to it outside of its trust account established in connection with its initial public offering and is convertible into private placement warrants of the Company at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the Sponsor.

 

On July 14, 2023 and August 16, 2023, the board of directors of the Company elected to extend the date by which the Company must complete an initial business combination, on each occasion by one month, from July 18, 2023 to September 18, 2023. As a result, the Sponsor deposited $160,000 into the Trust Account on each occasion.

 

On September 15, 2023, the Company made a deposit of $135,000 to the trust account and extended the period of time the Company has to consummate an initial business combination from September 18, 2023 to December 18, 2023.

 

Forward Purchase Agreement

 

Prior to the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company and Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund (“Polar”) entered into a letter agreement dated March 1, 2023 (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Polar will purchase (either in the open market, or from the Company) up to 2,500,000 shares of (i) prior to the Closing, Class A common stock of the Company and (ii) after the Closing (such shares, the “FPA Shares”). Seller may not beneficially own greater than 9.9% of the FPA Shares on a pro forma basis.

 

Seller has agreed to waive any redemption rights with respect to any FPA Shares and separate shares in connection with the Business Combination.

 

The Forward Purchase Agreement provides that at Closing, the Company will pay to Polar, out of funds held in Trust Account, an amount equal to the sum of (x) the Public Shares (as defined in the Forward Purchase Agreement) multiplied by the Redemption Price (as defined in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation), and (y) the proceeds of the Private Shares (as defined in the Forward Purchase Agreement) purchased by Polar (collectively, such amount, the “Prepayment Amount”), to Polar.

 

At the maturity of the Forward Purchase Agreement, which will be one year from the Closing unless accelerated or deferred (but up to two years) by Seller, the Company will repurchase the Public and Private Shares then held by Seller for a price equal to the Redemption Price plus $0.60 (which amount will be increased by another $0.60 per year for each year by which the maturity is deferred by Seller), The Prepayment Amount will be credited against this repurchase price. Prior to maturity, if Seller sells these shares for over $10.00 per share, it will repay $10.00 per share to Plum.

 

On June 15, 2023, the Company received a termination notice from Sakuu, that terminated, effective June 14, 2023, the Business Combination Agreement, dated March 2, 2023. In light of the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, the FPA was also terminated.

 

Release Agreement

 

On October 31, 2022, the Company entered into a termination agreement with a potential party to a business combination (“Target”), pursuant to which the Company and Target agreed to release each other from any obligations and claims related to a certain Amended and Restated Non-Binding Term Sheet, dated as of June 22, 2022 (“Term Sheet”), and related Term Sheet Extension Letter Agreements, dated July 18, 2022, July 22, 2022, August 1, 2022, and August 8, 2022.

Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on April 17, 2023, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto. The interim results for the period ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or for any future interim periods.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include its wholly owned subsidiaries in connection with the initial Business Combination, namely Plum SPAC I Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub I”), and Plum SPAC 2 Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub II”). All inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II. There has been no intercompany activity since inception.

Emerging Growth Company

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 independent registered public accounting firm 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 stockholder 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 condensed 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

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the subscription and forward purchase agreements and warrants liabilities. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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 did not have any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Investments Held in Trust Account

Investments Held in Trust Account

At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, funds held in the Trust Account include $35,096,667 and $323,911,642, respectively, of investments held in a money market fund characterized as Level 1 investments within the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 (as defined below). The Company classifies its money market fund as trading securities in accordance with ASC 320 “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities.”

Convertible Promissory Note

Convertible Promissory Note

The Company accounts for its convertible promissory note under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). Under 815-15-25, the election can be at the inception of a financial instrument to account for the instrument under the fair value option under ASC 825, “Financial Instruments” (“ASC 825”). The Company has made such election for its convertible promissory note. Using fair value option, the convertible promissory note is required to be recorded at its initial fair value on the date of issuance and each balance sheet date thereafter. Differences between the face value of the note and fair value at issuance are recognized as either an expense in the consolidated statements of operations (if issued at a premium) or as a capital contribution (if issued at a discount). Changes in the estimated fair value of the notes are recognized as non-cash gains or losses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A ordinary shares that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

 

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reflected on the consolidated balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, December 31, 2022  $323,911,642 
Less:     
Redemptions of ordinary shares   (294,254,572)
Plus:     
Accretion adjustment of carrying value to redemption value   5,439,597 
Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, September 30, 2023  $35,096,667 
Offering Costs

Offering Costs

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A  — “Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the Public Offering. Offering costs are charged to shareholders’ deficit or the consolidated statements of operations based on the relative value of the Warrants to the proceeds received from the Units sold upon the completion of the IPO.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, (excluding the promissory note and Warrants) which qualify as financial instruments under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the consolidated balance sheets.

Warrant Liabilities

Warrant Liabilities

The Company accounts for the Warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the specific terms of the Warrants and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the Warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the Warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the holders of the Warrants could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of issuance of the Warrants and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the Warrants are outstanding. For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, such warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, liability-classified warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of such warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company accounts for the Public and Private warrants in accordance with guidance contained in ASC815-40. Such guidance provides that because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant must be recorded as a liability (See Note 6).

Forward Purchase Agreement

Forward Purchase Agreement

The Company evaluated the forward purchase agreement (“FPA”) to determine if such instrument is a derivative or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, will be re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. The 2,500,000 forward purchase securities were recognized as a derivative liability in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, the Company recognized the forward purchase securities as a liability at its fair value and adjust the instrument to its fair value at each reporting period. The liability will be subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised. The fair value of the forward purchase securities is measured using a Probability Weighted Expected Return Model that values the FPA based on future projections of various potential outcomes.

 

On June 15, 2023, the Company received a termination notice (the “Notice”) from Sakuu Corporation (“Sakuu”), that terminated, effective June 14, 2023, the Business Combination Agreement, dated March 2, 2023, and in light of the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, the FPA was also terminated.

Subscription Agreement

Subscription Agreement

On March 16, 2023, the Company entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund (the “Investor”) and the Sponsor (collectively, the “Parties”), the purpose of which is for the Sponsor to raise up to $1,500,000 from the Investor to fund the Articles Extension and to provide working capital to the Company during the Articles Extension (“Investor’s Capital Commitment”). In consideration of the funds, Sponsor will transfer 0.75 of a Class A ordinary share for each dollar the Investor funds (the “Subscription Shares”) to the Investor at the closing of the Business Combination. The Subscription Shares shall be subject to the Lock-Up Period as defined in section 5 of the Sponsor Letter Agreement.

On July 14, 2023, the Company entered into an amended and restated subscription agreement (“A&R Subscription Agreement”) with Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund (the “Investor”) and Plum Partners, LLC (the “Sponsor” and, together with the Company and Investor, the “Parties”), which amends and restates the Subscription Agreement. The purpose of the A&R Subscription Agreement remains for the Sponsor to raise up to $1,500,000 from the Investor to fund the Articles extension and to provide working capital to the Company during the Articles Extension. See Note 8 for further details.

On July 25, 2023, the Company entered into a second subscription agreement (“Second Subscription Agreement”) with the Investor and Sponsor, the purpose of which is for the Sponsor to raise up to $1,090,000 from the Investor to fund the Extension and to provide working capital to the Company during the Extension. In consideration of the funds, Sponsor will transfer 1 share of a Class A ordinary share for each dollar the Investor funds (the “Subscription Shares”) to the Investor at the closing of the Business Combination. The Subscription Shares shall be subject to the Lock-Up Period as defined in section 5 of the Sponsor Letter Agreement. See Note 8 for further details.

The Company recorded the fair value of the subscription liability on the consolidated balance sheets and the related expense on its consolidated statements of operations. The initial fair value of the subscription liability was estimated using a probability weighted expected return model (Note 7).

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

FASB ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) defines fair value, the methods used to measure fair value and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between the buyer and the seller at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the valuation techniques consistent with the market approach, income approach and cost approach shall be used to measure fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs, which represent the assumptions used by the buyer and seller in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are further defined as observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are those that buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that the buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:

Level 1 — Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not being applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
   
Level 2 — Valuations based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities, or (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market through correlation or other means.
   
Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The fair value of the Company’s certain assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the consolidated balance sheets. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and promissory note to related parties are estimated to approximate the carrying values as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 due to the short maturities of such instruments. See Note 7 for additional information on assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no unrecognized tax benefits 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 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. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Net Income Per Ordinary Share

Net (Loss) Income Per Ordinary Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. The potential 12,640,544 ordinary shares for outstanding warrants to purchase the Company’s shares were excluded from diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 because the warrants are contingently exercisable, and the contingencies have not yet been met. As a result, diluted net (loss) income per ordinary share is the same as basic net (loss) income per ordinary share for the period. The table below presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net (loss) income per share for each class of ordinary share:

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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
