EXPLANATORY NOTE

References in this Amendment No. 1 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Amendment”) to “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company” are to XPAC Acquisition Corp.

​

This Amendment amends the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of the Company as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 13, 2022 (the “Original Filing”) and restates our unaudited condensed financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 included in the Original Filing.

​

In connection with the preparation of our financial statements as of June 30, 2022, our management identified errors related to accounting for liabilities due to our failure to previously recognize certain historical Business Combination Costs (as defined below) as liabilities on our balance sheet and, correspondingly, as expenses on our income statement for the affected periods on the basis that such Business Combination Costs are potentially reimbursable in the future upon the consummation of our pending business combination.

​

The Company is a blank check company, formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (a “business combination”). On April 25, 2022, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with (i) SuperBac PubCo Holdings Inc., an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“PubCo”), (ii) BAC1 Holdings Inc., an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Merger Sub 1”), (iii) BAC2 Holdings Inc., an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Merger Sub 2”), and (iv) SuperBac Biotechnology Solutions S.A., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil (“SuperBac”). If the transactions contemplated in the Business Combination Agreement are consummated, they will be the Company’s initial business combination.

​

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, certain costs related to the business combination incurred in connection with, and in anticipation of, the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, as well as the Company’s progression of the business combination (collectively, the “Business Combination Costs”) paid or payable in the future by the Company are either reimbursable to the Company or payable on behalf of the Company by PubCo, or its affiliates, upon consummation of the business combination. However, until such potential reimbursement or payment in the future if, and at such point in time when the business combination is consummated, all Business Combination Costs are required to be reflected on the Company’s balance sheet and expensed in the Company’s income statement. In application of such accounting principle, the Company re-evaluated its recognition of historical Business Combination Costs and determined that certain Business Combination Costs were not properly recognized and reflected for certain historical periods on when such costs were incurred irrespective of whether such Business Combination Costs may be reimbursable in the future.

​

On August 22, 2022, the Company’s management and the audit committee of the board of directors of the Company concluded that the Company’s previously issued (i) audited financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and for the period from March 11, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2022; and (ii) unaudited condensed financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022, included in the Original Filing (together, the “Affected Financial Statements”), should no longer be relied upon and, in each case, should be restated to recognize the Business Combination Costs as liabilities and, correspondingly, as income statement expenses for the relevant periods based on when such costs were incurred irrespective of whether such Business Combination Costs may be reimbursable in the future.

​

None of the above changes have any impact on the Company’s cash position or investments held in the trust account established in connection with the Company’s initial public offering.

​

The Company’s management has concluded that in light of the non-recognition of the Business Combination Costs as described above, a material weakness related to accounting for liabilities exists in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as a result of material weaknesses. The Company’s remediation plan with respect to such material weaknesses is described in more detail in Item 4 of this Amendment.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED, AS RESTATED)

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND

XPAC Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on March 11, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, amalgamation, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).

The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from March 11, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2022 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), and since the Initial Public Offering, the search for a target for its Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on July 29, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). On August 3, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000, which is discussed in Note 4. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 4,000,000 Private Warrants (the “Private Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Warrant in a private placement to XPAC Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”) generating proceeds of $6,000,000 from the sale of the Private Warrants, which is discussed in Note 5.

The Company had granted the underwriter in the Initial Public Offering (the “Underwriter”) a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On August 16, 2021, the underwriter partially exercised the over-allotment option and on August 19, 2021, purchased an additional 1,961,131 Units from the Company (the “Over-Allotment Units”), generating gross proceeds of $19,611,310. Simultaneously with the closing of the exercise of the over-allotment option, the Company consummated the sale of 261,485 additional Private Warrants at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $392,228. The remainder of the over-allotment option expired unexercised.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete a Business Combination with one or more operating businesses or assets that together have an aggregate fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the Company’s signing a definitive agreement in connection with its initial Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). Management agreed that an amount equal to at least $10.00 per Unit sold in the Initial Public Offering, including the proceeds from the sale of the Private Warrants, will be held in a trust account (“Trust Account”), located in the United States and invested only in U.S. government treasury bills, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. Treasuries and meeting certain conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds held in the Trust Account, as described below.

Table of Contents

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND (Cont.)

The Company will provide its public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering (the “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 taxes (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations described herein.

The amount deposited in the Trust Account as a result of the Initial Public Offering and subsequent partial exercise of the over-allotment option was an aggregate of $219,611,310, or $10.00 per public share. The per-share amount the Company will distribute to investors who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriter. The redemption rights will include the requirement that a beneficial holder must identify itself in order to validly redeem its shares. There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of the Business Combination with respect to the warrants. The initial shareholders, directors and officers have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares and Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of the Business Combination.

The Company will only proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 either prior to or upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required by applicable law or stock exchange rules and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the transaction is required by applicable law or stock exchange rules, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or other reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 6), and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each public shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction or do not vote at all.

Notwithstanding the above, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Sponsor has agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to its Founder Shares and Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides the public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND (Cont.)

The Company will have until 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering to complete a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). 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 tax obligations (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

The Sponsor has agreed to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor acquires Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriter has agreed to waive it right to its deferred underwriting commission (see Note 9) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($10.00).

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (1) $10.00 per Public Share or (2) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay franchise and income taxes. This liability will not apply with respect to claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriter of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses and other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Proposed Business Combination

On April 25, 2022, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “ Business Combination Agreement”) with (i) SUPERBAC PubCo Holdings Inc, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“ PubCo”), (ii) BAC1 Holdings Inc., an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo (“ Merger Sub 1”), (iii) BAC2 Holdings Inc., an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo (“ Merger Sub 2”), and (iv) SuperBac Biotechnology Solutions S.A., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil (“ SuperBac”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to combine with SuperBac in a series of transactions that would result in PubCo becoming a publicly-traded company and listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, with PubCo indirectly owning no less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the equity interests in SuperBac. See Note 11.

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND (Cont.)

Going Concern Consideration

At March 31, 2022, the Company had $307,990 in cash and a working capital deficit of $1,345,928. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. In order to meet the Company's financial needs between the current period and the Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor or its affiliates can, but are not obligated to, provide funding through Working Capital Loans (as defined below) (Note 6).These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. There is no assurance that the Company’s plan to consummate a Business Combination will be successful or successful within the Combination Period. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management is currently evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia-Ukraine war and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus and war could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

​

​

NOTE 2 – RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY FILED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As originally disclosed in the Form 12b-25, Notification of Late Filing, filed with the SEC on August 16, 2022, the Company has reviewed the application of ASC 405, “Liabilities,” to certain costs (the “Business Combination Costs”) related to its Business Combination incurred in connection with, and in anticipation of, the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, as well as the Company’s progression of the Business Combination.

​

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, certain of the Business Combination Costs paid or payable in the future by the Company are either reimbursable to the Company or payable on behalf of the Company by PubCo, or its affiliates, upon consummation of the Business Combination. However, until such potential reimbursement or payment in the future if, and at such point in time when the Business Combination is consummated, all Business Combination Costs are required to be reflected on the Company’s balance sheet and expensed in the Company’s income statement. The Company determined upon its review that not all of its Business Combination Costs have been properly recognized and reflected for the relevant periods based on when such costs were incurred irrespective of whether such Business Combination Costs may be reimbursable in the future.

Table of Contents

NOTE 2 – RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY FILED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont.)

Approximately $1.1 million in costs were not recognized as of December 31, 2021, including $0.5 million paid by the Sponsor on behalf of the Company, and an additional approximately $0.9 million in costs were not recognized as of March 31, 2022. The resulting corrections increased accrued liabilities by $1.5 million and decreased the net income by $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Additionally, the methodology utilized to calculate the excess fair value of director shares was refined and we have restated the value disclosed in Note 6 accordingly. The following table represents the impacts of the adjustments described above:

NOTE 3 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 8 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 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 results for the period ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or for any future interim periods.

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 shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

NOTE 3 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under the asset and liability method, as required by this accounting standard, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to the period when assets are realized or liabilities are settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the operation of statement in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of March 31, 2022. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.

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 period presented.

Offering costs

The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-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 Initial Public Offering. Offering costs are charged to shareholders’ equity or the statement of operations based on the relative value of the Public Warrants and the Private Warrants to the proceeds received from the Units sold upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering and any over-allotment exercised. Accordingly, on August 3, 2021, offering costs totaling $11,761,739 (consisting of $4,000,000 of underwriting fee, $7,000,000 of deferred underwriting fee and $761,739 of other offering costs) were recognized with $477,711 included in accumulated deficit as an allocation for the Public Warrants and the Private Warrants, and $11,284,028 included in additional paid-in capital.

On August 16, 2021, the underwriter partially exercised the over-allotment option and, on August 19, 2021, purchased an additional 1,961,131 Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”) from the Company, generating gross proceeds of $19,611,310. As a result of the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, the incremental increase in offering costs was $1,078,624 (consisting of $392,228 of underwriting fee and $686,396 of deferred underwriting fee) with $41,786 included in accumulated deficit as allocation for the Public Warrants and the Private Warrants, and $1,036,838 included in additional paid-in capital.

The Company’s statements of operations include a presentation of net loss per share for ordinary shares subject to possible redemption and applies the two-class method in calculating net loss per share. Net loss per ordinary share, basic and diluted, is calculated by dividing the pro-rata allocation of net loss for each class, by the weighted average number of Class A and Class B non-redeemable ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Net loss is allocated pro-rata between Class A redeemable and Class B non-redeemable shares based on their respective weighted average shares outstanding for the period.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

The Company applies ASC 820, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework. ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the Company’s principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820 generally requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions based on market data and the entity’s judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are to be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

Level 1 — Assets and liabilities with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges. Inputs to the fair value measurement are observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Inputs to the fair value measurement are determined using prices for recently traded assets and liabilities with similar underlying terms, as well as direct or indirect observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 — Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs, such as estimates, assumptions, and valuation techniques when little or no market data exists for the assets or liabilities.

Warrant Liabilities

The Company accounts for warrants for the Company’s ordinary shares that are not indexed to its own shares as liabilities at fair value on the balance sheet. The warrants are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of other income (expense), net on the statement of operations. The Company will continue to adjust the liabilities for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the ordinary share warrants. At that time, the portion of the warrant liabilities related to the ordinary share warrants will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital.

Related Parties

Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had cash of $307,990 and $352,190 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Investments Held in Trust Account

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $ 219,632,154 and $219,617,731, respectively, held in the Trust Account was held in money market funds, which are invested in U.S. Treasury securities. The investments held in the Trust Account are presented at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains or losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities are included in gains (losses) on investments held in the Trust Account on the accompanying statement of operations. The estimated fair value of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

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

Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the remeasurement from initial book value to redemption amount. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.

As of March 31, 2022, the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reflected in the balance sheet is reconciled in the following table:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The new guidance eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. It also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In addition, the new guidance modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the diluted EPS computation. This guidance is effective as of January 1, 2024 for smaller reporting companies (early adoption is permitted effective January 1, 2021). The Company is currently evaluating the effect the updated standard will have on its financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosure.

NOTE 4 — INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering on August 3, 2021, the Company sold 20,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consisted of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7).

On August 16, 2021, the underwriter partially exercised the over-allotment option and on August 19, 2021, purchased an additional 1,961,131 Units from the Company (the “Over-Allotment Units”), generating gross proceeds of $19,611,310. In connection with the Underwriter’s partial exercise of their over-allotment option, the Sponsor purchased an additional 261,485 Private Warrants (the “Additional Private Warrants”), generating gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $392,228.

An aggregate of $10.00 per Unit sold in the Initial Public Offering was held in the Trust Account and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. Treasuries and meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company.

​

NOTE 5 — PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 4,000,000 Private Warrants, at a price of $1.50 per Private Warrant, for an aggregate of $6,000,000, in a private placement. Simultaneously, with the closing of the exercise of the over-allotment option, the Company completed the sale of an additional 261,485 Private Warrants to the Sponsor, at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Warrant, generating additional gross proceeds of $392,228. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Private Warrants were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and partial over-allotment exercise 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 Warrants held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Private Warrants will expire worthless.

NOTE 6 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

In March 2021, the Sponsor purchased 5,750,000 shares of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. This amount was paid on behalf of the Company to cover certain expenses. The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 750,000 shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriter’s overallotment was not exercised in full or in part, so that the number of Founder Shares collectively represent 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. Since the underwriter did not exercise the over-allotment option in full, the Sponsor surrendered 259,717 Class B ordinary shares, which were forfeited by the Company. As a result of such forfeiture, there are currently 5,490,283 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding.

The Sponsor and the Company’s directors and executive officers have agreed, subject to certain limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination and (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 120 days after a Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, amalgamation, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.

NOTE 6 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (Cont.)

Director Shares

On May 12, 2021, the Sponsor transferred 90,000 Founder Shares in the aggregate to independent directors (“Director Shares”) at a price of $0.004 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $390. The fair value of the Director Shares was approximately $8.01 per share or $720,459 in total, which was calculated using a valuation model that takes into account various assumptions such as the probability of successfully completing the Business Combination among other factors. The excess fair value over the purchase price of $720,068 is deemed to be a benefit to the Company under SAB Topic 5A. However, as the assignment agreement underlying the Director Shares contains a performance obligation contingent upon consummation of the Business Combination, the expense will not be recognized until such time as the Business Combination is considered probable. A liquidity event such as a change in control or Business Combination is not considered probable under ASC Topic 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation," and as such this will not be recorded until consummation of the Company's Business Combination.

Promissory Note — Related Party

In March 2021, the Sponsor issued an unsecured promissory note to the Company (the “Promissory Note”), pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. The Promissory Note is non-interest bearing. On December 27, 2021, the Promissory Note was amended to be payable upon consummation of the Business Combination. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $84,412 outstanding under the promissory note. On February 7, 2022, the Sponsor funded an additional $215,588 to the Company, resulting in $300,000 outstanding as of March 31, 2022.

Related Party Loans

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor may, but is not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company may repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. At the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Warrants. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

Administrative Services Agreement

Pursuant to an administrative services agreement entered into with the Sponsor on July 29, 2021, the Sponsor may charge the Company a $10,000 per month fee for office space, administrative and support services. As of March 31, 2022, the Sponsor has not charged, and does not intend to charge in the future, any amount in relation to the provision of these services. As a result, the Company has not incurred or accrued for any expense related to this agreement.

Advisory Services

The Company engaged XP Investimentos Corretora de Câmbio, Títulos e Valores Mobiliários S.A. (“XP Investimentos”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of XP, Inc. and an affiliate of the Sponsor, to provide financial consulting services, consisting of a review of deal structure and terms and related advice in connection with the Initial Public Offering, for which it received a fee of $1,725,443 of the cash underwriting paid to the Underwriter. See Note 9 below for further discussion of the Underwriting Agreement.

Capital Contribution — Related Party (as restated)

The Company’s Sponsor engaged a third-party professional services provider on behalf of the Company to conduct business due diligence services. The $0.5 million payment of such fees was deemed to be a benefit to the Company under SAB Topic 5A and was recorded to accumulated deficit and formation and operating expenses as of December 31, 2021.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.

Class A ordinary shares — The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 Class A ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class A ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 21,961,131 Class A ordinary shares issued and no shares outstanding, excluding 21,961,131 shares subject to possible redemption.

Class B ordinary shares — The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 5,490,283 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding. The shares collectively represent 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares. Holders of Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders except as required by law.

The Class B ordinary shares (Founder Shares) will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of a Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of a Business Combination, the ratio at which Class B ordinary shares shall convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class B ordinary shares agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B ordinary shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all ordinary shares outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering plus all Class A ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination).

Refer to Note 4 and Note 10 for discussion of the Initial Public Offering that occurred on August 3, 2021.

NOTE 8 — WARRANT LIABILITIES

Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering and (b) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available. No warrant will be exercisable, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares of Class A ordinary shares upon exercise of a warrant unless the share of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants.

NOTE 8 — WARRANT LIABILITIES (Cont.)

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of a Business Combination, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the shares of 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 a Business Combination, and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement and a current prospectus relating to those shares of 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 is 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, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but it 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 shares of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of a 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.

Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00. Once the Public Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the Public Warrants:

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

Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00. Once the Public Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the Public Warrants:

NOTE 8 — WARRANT LIABILITIES (Cont.)

In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of a Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A ordinary shares (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 a Business Combination on the date of the consummation of a Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the shares of Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates a Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, then 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 and the “Redemption of Warrants when the price per share of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $10.00” 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.

The Private Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Warrants and the shares of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Warrants will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees (except for a number of shares of Class A ordinary shares as described above under Redemption of warrants for Class A ordinary shares). If the Private Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company in all redemption scenarios and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 7,320,377 Public Warrants and 4,261,485 Private Warrants outstanding. The Company accounts for the Public Warrants and Private Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that because an event that is not within the entity’s control could require net cash settlement the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity classification and as a result each warrant must be recorded as a derivative liability.

The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments required that the Company record a derivative liability upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Accordingly, the Company classified each warrant as a liability at its fair value and the warrants were allocated a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the Units equal to its fair value. These liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement, the warrant liabilities will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The Company will reassess the classification at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the warrants will be reclassified as of the date of the event that causes the reclassification

Registration and Shareholder Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares and Private Warrants (and any shares of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights and shareholder agreement signed on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering, requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to shares of Class A ordinary shares). The holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders will have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration and shareholder rights agreement provides 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. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

In connection with the Initial Public Offering, the underwriter was granted a 45-day option from the date of the prospectus to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments. On August 16, 2021, the underwriter partially exercised the over-allotment option and on August 19, 2021, purchased an additional 1,961,131 Units at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $19,611,310 to the Company.

​

The underwriter was paid a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $4,392,226 in the aggregate upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the partial exercise of the over-allotment option. In addition, the underwriter will be entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $7,686,396 in the aggregate. Of this amount, $2,305,919 will be paid to XP Investimentos as an advisory fee (see Note 6). Subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement, (i) the deferred fee will be placed in the Trust Account and released to the underwriter only upon the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the deferred fee will be waived by the underwriter in the event that the Company does not complete a Business Combination.

NOTE 10 — RECURRING FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s warrant liabilities were valued at $4,763,355 and $5,825,972, respectively. Under the guidance in ASC 815-40, the Public Warrants and the Private Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment. As such, the Public Warrants and the Private Warrants must be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. This valuation is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each re-measurement, the valuations will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company’s statement of operations.

The following tables present fair value information as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 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.

NOTE 10 — RECURRING FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Cont.)

​

​

The Company’s private warrant liabilities are 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. Significant deviations from these estimates and inputs could result in a material change in fair value.

The fair value of the Private Warrant liabilities is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy at the initial measurement date. On September 20, 2021, the Public Warrants started trading separately from the Public Shares underlying the Units that were sold in the Initial Public Offering and partial exercise of the over-allotment. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2021, the Public Warrants were reclassified from a Level 3 to a Level 1 classification due to use of the observed trading price of the separated Public Warrants.

Transfers between Levels are recorded at the end of each reporting period. For the period ended March 31, 2022, there were no transfers between levels.

Measurement

The Company established the initial fair value for the warrants on August 3, 2021, the date of the consummation of the Company’s Initial Public Offering, using a Black-Scholes-Merton formula model. At the date of the Initial Public Offering, the Company allocated the proceeds received from (i) the sale of Units (which were inclusive of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one Public Warrant), and (ii) the sale of Private Warrants, first to the warrants based on their fair values as determined at initial measurement, with the remaining proceeds allocated to Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption (temporary equity), based on their relative fair values at the initial measurement date.

As of March 31, 2022, the Public Warrants were publicly traded and their fair value was based on the market trade price on that date. The fair value for the Private Warrants was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model.

The following table presents a summary of the changes in the fair value of the Warrants liabilities classified as Level 3, measured on a recurring basis.

​

​

The key inputs into the Monte Carlo formula model were as follows for March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021 and August 3, 2021:

NOTE 11 —  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated subsequent events to determine if events or transactions occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements were issued. The Company identified no subsequent events, other than those described below, as of the date that the financial statements were issued.

On April 25, 2022, the Company entered into the Business Combination Agreement with PubCo, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2 and SuperBac.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the parties thereto have agreed, among other things, that, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein: (i) prior to the Initial Merger (as defined below), SuperBac will cause to be formed an exempted company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands (“Newco”) that will join as a party to the Business Combination Agreement, (ii) on or prior the Acquisition Merger (as defined below), certain SuperBac shareholders will, directly or indirectly, contribute their SuperBac ordinary and preferred shares into Newco in exchange for ordinary shares of Newco, (iii) on the Initial Closing Date (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), the Company will merge with and into Merger Sub 1, with Merger Sub 1 being the surviving entity (the “Initial Merger” and the effective time of the Initial Merger, the “Initial Merger Effective Time”), and (iv) at least one day following the Initial Merger, Merger Sub 2 will merge with and into Newco (the “Acquisition Merger” and together with the Initial Merger, the “Mergers”), with Newco being the surviving entity and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo.

In addition, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, at the Initial Merger Effective Time, (i) each Unit outstanding shall be automatically detached and the holder thereof shall be deemed to hold one Class A ordinary share of the Company and one-third of a warrant of the Company, (ii) each issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share and Class B ordinary share of the Company (other than any dissenting shares) will be canceled and converted into the right to receive one Class A ordinary share of PubCo, and (iii) each outstanding and unexercised warrant to acquire Class A ordinary of the Company will be converted into the right to purchase one Class A ordinary share of PubCo, subject to the same terms and conditions existing prior to such conversion.

Pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, upon completion of the Mergers, SuperBac will become an indirect subsidiary of PubCo, with PubCo indirectly owning no less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the equity interests in SuperBac.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Annual Report including, without limitation, statements under “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” regarding our financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. When used in this Quarterly Report, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed in our filings with the SEC, including those that will be set forth in our preliminary prospectus/proxy statement to be included in a Registration Statement on Form F-4 that PubCo (as defined below) will file with the SEC relating to our proposed business combination with SuperBac Biotechnology Solutions S.A. (the “SuperBac Business Combination”).

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

Restatement

We have re-evaluated our application of ASC 405, “Liabilities,” for the Business Combination Costs related to the proposed business combination with SuperBac announced on April 25, 2022.  Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, certain of the Business Combination Costs paid or payable in the future by us are either reimbursable to us or payable on our behalf by PubCo, or its affiliates, upon consummation of such business combination. However, until such potential reimbursement or payment in the future, if, and at such point in time when the business combination is consummated, all Business Combination Costs are required to be reflected on our balance sheet and expensed in our income statement. We determined upon our review that not all of our Business Combination Costs have been properly recognized and reflected for the relevant periods based on when such costs were incurred irrespective of whether such Business Combination Costs may be reimbursable in the future.

Approximately $1.1 million in costs were not recognized as of December 31, 2021, including $0.5 million paid by the Sponsor on behalf of the Company, and an additional approximately $0.9 million in costs were not recognized as of March 31, 2022. The resulting correction increased accrued liabilities by $1.5 million and decreased the net income by $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

See the Explanatory Note and Note 2 to financial statements in this Report for additional information related to the restatement.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated on March 11, 2021 as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination. While our efforts in identifying a prospective target business for our initial Business Combination will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic region, we intend to initially focus our search on identifying a prospective target business within the Brazil focus sectors. We intend to effectuate our initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of our Initial Public Offering, shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, additional equity raised through a public or private offering, or a combination of the foregoing.

We expect to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our initial Business Combination. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to complete our initial Business Combination will be successful.

On August 3, 2021, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 Units. Each Unit consisted of one Public Share and one-third of one of our redeemable warrants, with each whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one of our Class A ordinary shares for $11.50 per share. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000. We granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Units solely to cover over-allotments.

Table of Contents

Simultaneously with the consummation of our Initial Public Offering, we completed the private placement of 4,000,000 Private Warrants to XPAC Sponsor, LLC, our Sponsor, at a purchase price of $1.50 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $6,000,000. The proceeds from the sale of the Private Warrants were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account.

On August 16, 2021, the underwriter partially exercised the over-allotment option and on August 19, 2021, purchased an additional 1,961,131 Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”) at $10.00 per Unit, generating additional gross proceeds of $19,611,310. In addition, we issued 261,485 Private Warrants to the Sponsor.

If we do not complete our initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of our Initial Public Offering, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Warrants will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Warrants will expire worthless.

Following the closing of our Initial Public Offering, $219,611,310 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Warrants were placed in the Trust Account established for the benefit of our Public Shareholders. The Trust Account is invested in interest-bearing U.S. government securities and the income earned on those investments is also for the benefit of our Public Shareholders.

Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally towards consummating a Business Combination.

In connection with the proposed SuperBac Business Combination, on April 25, 2022, SuperBac, the Company, PubCo and the Sponsor entered into a Sponsor Support Agreement (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Sponsor agreed to, and to cause proprietary investment vehicles (i.e. holding investments in a ‘principal’ or ‘own account’ capacity) of the Sponsor or its affiliates (if any) (to the extent permitted by applicable law) to, (a) vote in favor of (i) the Mergers and each of the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) (the “Transactions”), and (ii) the other Transaction Proposals (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), (b) waive the anti-dilution rights in respect of XPAC Securities (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) under Article 17.3 of the Company’s articles of association, (c) appear at the Company’s shareholders’ meeting for purposes of constituting a quorum, (d) vote against any proposals that would impede the Transactions or any other Transaction Proposal, (e) not redeem any XPAC Securities held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, (f) not transfer any XPAC Securities held by the Sponsor or such affiliates prior to the Acquisition Merger, (g) release the Company, SuperBac and the Acquisition Entities (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) from all claims in respect of or relating to the period prior to closing of the Acquisition Merger, subject to the provisions and exceptions set forth therein, and (h) agree to a lock-up of its PubCo ordinary shares and PubCo warrants that are held as of closing of the Acquisition Merger, during the period of one year commencing as of the closing of the Acquisition Merger, subject to certain exceptions.

In addition, on April 25, 2022, PubCo, the Company, SuperBac and certain SuperBac shareholders entered into a shareholder voting and support agreement (the “Voting and Support Agreement”) pursuant to which, such SuperBac shareholders, among other things, have agreed to vote to approve the Transactions and such other actions as contemplated in the Business Combination Agreement for which the approval of SuperBac shareholders is required.

Moreover, on April 25, 2022, certain SuperBac shareholders entered into a lock-up agreement (the “Lock-up Agreement”), pursuant to which, subject to certain exceptions, and following the closing of the Acquisition Merger: (i) Luiz Chacon, SuperBac’s founder and CEO (together with his controlled shareholding vehicles and permitted transferees, the “Founder”) has agreed to a two-year lock-up period (other than the sale of up to R$70.0 million of ordinary shares of PubCo), (ii) the Sponsor has agreed to a one-year lock-up period, and (iii) substantially all of the other the SuperBac shareholders have agreed a six-month lock-up period. In addition, the PubCo Class A ordinary shares issued in connection with the “net exercise” of certain existing SuperBac stock options shall be subject to a three-year lock-up period and subject to forfeiture upon terms substantially equivalent to the vesting and forfeiture provisions that were applicable to the SuperBac stock options.

In addition, as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, on April 26, 2022, SuperBac and certainSuperBac shareholders entered into an investment agreement (the “Investment Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, (i) all shareholders of SuperBac other than the Founder have agreed to, directly or indirectly, contribute their SuperBac shares into Newco in exchange for newly issued Class A ordinary shares of Newco, and (ii) the Founder has agreed to, directly or indirectly, contribute his SuperBac shares into Newco in exchange for newly issued Class B ordinary shares of Newco, in each case, as and to the extent contemplated by the Investment Agreement

Consummation of the Transactions is subject to customary conditions, including (i) approval by the Company’s and SuperBac’s shareholders (certain of which SuperBac shareholder approvals were obtained on May 12, 2022, with other approvals remaining outstanding), (ii) the absence of any law or governmental order which has the effect of making consummation of the Transactions illegal or which otherwise prevents or prohibits consummation of the Transactions, (ii) the effectiveness of the registration statement to be filed in connection with the business combination, (iii) PubCo’s initial listing application with Nasdaq in connection with the Transactions shall have been conditionally approved and Class A ordinary shares of PubCo to be issued in connection with the Transactions shall have been approved for listing on Nasdaq, subject to official notice of issuance, and (iv) material accuracy of representations and warranties, and material compliance with covenants, in the Business Combination Agreement.

In addition, the obligations of SuperBac to consummate the Transactions are subject, among others, to: (i) the condition that the Post-Redemption Trust Account Balance (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), plus the PIPE Gross Proceeds (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) (minus any unreimbursed Excess of Company Transaction Expenses (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement)), in each case, to be made available to PubCo at the Acquisition Closing, shall be at least $150,000,000 (the “Minimum Cash Condition”), and (ii) at the Acquisition Closing, the Company having at least $5,000,001 in tangible net assets after giving effect to the XPAC Share Redemptions (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement).

Table of Contents

The Business Combination Agreement provides that, following the date of the Business Combination Agreement, but prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), (i) one or more investors may agree to make, subject to SuperBac’s reasonable consent, one or more private investments to subscribe for and purchase Class A ordinary shares of PubCo for an aggregate purchase price of up to $220 million at a price per share equal to $10.00 (a form of subscription agreement for any such investment is included as a schedule to the Business Combination Agreement), and (ii) with the prior written consent of SuperBac (which consent may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion), certain other private investments may be entered into in accordance with the terms set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, in an effort to satisfy the Minimum Cash Condition.

SuperBac is a leading player in the biotech revolution, disrupting traditional industries with more sustainable and efficient solutions, with a track-record of over 25 years of R&D and operations. SuperBac has stated that it believes it is well positioned for further expansion as a national leader in crop nutrition and diversification to crop protection and other sectors such as oil & gas, sanitation, home care and animal nutrition.

For more information about the Business Combination Agreement and the proposed SuperBac Business Combination, see our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 25, 2022 and the preliminary prospectus/proxy statement to be included in a Registration Statement on Form F-4 that PubCo will file with the SEC relating to the proposed SuperBac Business Combination. Unless specifically stated, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not give effect to the proposed SuperBac Business Combination and does not contain the risks associated with the proposed SuperBac Business Combination. Such risks and effects relating to the proposed SuperBac Business Combination will be included in the preliminary prospectus/proxy statement to be included in a Registration Statement on Form F-4 that PubCo will file with the SEC relating to the proposed SuperBac Business Combination.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any significant business operations nor generated any revenues to date. All activities to date relate to our formation and Initial Public Offering and since then to the search for a target business. We will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination, at the earliest. We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from our Initial Public Offering and will recognize other income and expense related to the change in fair value of our warrant liabilities. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance, as well as for due diligence expenses. We have selected December 31 as our fiscal year end.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had a net loss of $208,504, which consisted of $1,255,542 in formation and operating costs and $30,033 in foreign exchange loss, offset by a $1,062,617 gain on the fair value of warrant liabilities and a $14,424 gain on investments held in the Trust Account.

For the period from March 11, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2021, we had a net loss of $11,069, which consisted entirely of operating, general and administrative expenses. 

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

As of March 31, 2022, we had cash outside the Trust Account of $307,990, available for working capital needs. All remaining cash was held in the Trust Account and is generally unavailable for our use, prior to our initial Business Combination.

On August 3, 2021, we completed the sale of 20,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000.

Simultaneous with the closing of our Initial Public Offering, we completed the sale of 4,000,000 Private Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Unit in a private placement to XPAC Sponsor, LLC, generating gross proceeds of $6,000,000.

On August 19, 2021, the underwriter purchased an additional 1,961,131 of our Units at $10.00 per Unit, generating additional gross proceeds of $19,611,310 to us. In addition, we sold an additional 261,485 Private Warrants to the Sponsor.

Table of Contents

Our liquidity needs had been satisfied prior to the completion of the Initial Public Offering through the payment by our initial shareholders of $25,000 to cover certain of our offering costs in consideration for the issuance of Founder Shares to our initial shareholders and up to $300,000 in loans available from our Sponsor. On December 27, 2021, the promissory note was amended to be payable upon consummation of the Business Combination. As of March 31, 2022, we had $300,000 outstanding under the promissory note. Subsequent to the consummation of our Initial Public Offering, our liquidity needs have been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of our Initial Public Offering and our private placement held outside of the Trust Account.

The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. In order to meet the Company’s financial needs between the current period and the Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor or its affiliates can, but are not obligated to, provide funding through a working capital loan. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. There is no assurance that the Company’s plan to consummate a Business Combination will be successful or successful within the Combination Period. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Over this time period, we will be using the funds held outside of the Trust Account for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less taxes payable (if any) and deferred underwriting commissions), to complete our initial Business Combination. We may withdraw interest income (if any) to pay income taxes, if any. 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.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, our Sponsor, an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our directors and officers may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete our initial Business Combination, we may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. Otherwise, such loans may be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that our initial Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used to repay such loaned amounts. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Warrants issued to our Sponsor. The terms of such loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our Trust Account. As of March 31, 2022, there was no amount outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.

We expect our primary liquidity requirements prior to our initial Business Combination to include approximately $350,000 for legal, accounting, due diligence, travel and other expenses associated with structuring, negotiating and documenting successful Business Combination; $150,000 for legal and accounting fees related to regulatory reporting requirements; $58,000 for Nasdaq continued listing fees; and $442,000 for general working capital that will be used for miscellaneous expenses and reserves.

These amounts are estimates and may differ materially from our actual expenses. In addition, we could use a portion of the funds not being placed in trust to pay commitment fees for financing, fees to consultants to assist us with our search for a target business or as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision (a provision designed to keep target businesses from “shopping” around for transactions with other companies or investors on terms more favorable to such target businesses) with respect to a particular proposed Business Combination, although we do not have any current intention to do so. If we entered into an agreement where we paid for the right to receive exclusivity from a target business, the amount that would be used as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision would be determined based on the terms of the specific Business Combination and the amount of our available funds at the time. Our forfeiture of such funds (whether as a result of our breach or otherwise) could result in our not having sufficient funds to continue searching for, or conducting due diligence with respect to, prospective target businesses.

27

Table of Contents

If our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2022 as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

Contractual Obligations

As of March 31, 2022, we did not have any long-term debt, capital or operating lease obligations.

We entered into an administrative services agreement pursuant to which our Sponsor may charge us a $10,000 per month fee for office space, administrative and support services. As of March 31, 2022, our Sponsor has not charged us, and does not intend to charge us in the future, any amount in relation to the provision of these services.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management’s discussion and analysis of our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources are based on our unaudited condensed financial statements. We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Financial Statements included in this report. Our unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Certain of our accounting policies require that management apply significant judgments in defining the appropriate assumptions integral to financial estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Judgments are based on historical experience, terms of existing contracts, industry trends and information available from outside sources, as appropriate. However, by their nature, judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty, and, therefore, actual results could differ from our estimates.

Recent Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The new guidance eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. It also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In addition, the new guidance modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the diluted EPS computation. This guidance is effective as of January 1, 2024 for smaller reporting companies (early adoption is permitted effective January 1, 2021). The Company is currently evaluating the effect the updated standard will have on its financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosure.

We have considered all new accounting pronouncements and have concluded that there are no new pronouncements that may have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows, based on the current information.

JOBS Act

The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act and are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

28

Table of Contents

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an independent registered public accounting firm’s attestation report on our system of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the independent registered public accounting firm’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis), and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of the Initial Public Offering or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

​

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As of March 31, 2022, we were not subject to any material market or interest rate risk. Following the consummation of our Initial Public Offering, the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, including amounts in the Trust Account, were invested in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a 7 under the Investment Company Act. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there was no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.

We have not engaged in any hedging activities since our inception. We do not expect to engage in any hedging activities with respect to the market risk to which we are exposed.

​

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer (who serves as our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022, pursuant to Rule 13a 15 and 15d 15 under the Exchange Act. Due to material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2022. As a result, our management performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP. 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 of the periods presented.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022 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, except as described below.

Our internal control over financial reporting did not result in the proper classification of the Class A redeemable ordinary shares within our previously issued August 3, 2021 Balance Sheet and the August 3, 2021 Pro Forma Balance Sheet. In those balance sheets, we determined that the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption to be equal to the redemption value of the Public Shares, while also taking into consideration that the redemption cannot result in net tangible assets being less than $5,000,001, which represented a material weakness.

After discussion and evaluation, we have concluded that while provisions in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association may result in the Company being unable to redeem all of the Public Shares in certain situations, the Public Shares still contain redemption provisions which are outside of our control and therefore should be classified outside of permanent equity. Therefore, management concluded that the redemption value should include all Public Shares subject to possible redemption, resulting in the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption being equal to the full redemption value of the Public Shares.

Furthermore, our internal control over financial reporting did not result in the proper recognition of certain Business Combination Costs, which represented a material weakness. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, certain of the Business Combination Costs paid or payable in the future by us are either reimbursable to us or payable on our behalf by PubCo, or its affiliates, upon consummation of the business combination. However, until such potential reimbursement or payment in the future, if, and at such point in time when the Business Combination is consummated, all Business Combination Costs are required to be reflected on our balance sheet and expensed in our income statement. We determined upon our review that not all of our Business Combination Costs have been properly recognized and reflected for the relevant periods based on when such costs were incurred irrespective of whether such Business Combination Costs may be reimbursable in the future.

As a result of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described in the paragraph above, our management and the audit committee of the board of directors of the Company concluded that the Company’s previously issued (i) audited financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and for the period from March 11, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2022; and (ii) unaudited condensed financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022, included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 13, 2022, should no longer be relied upon and, in each case, should be restated to recognize the Business Combination Costs as liabilities and, correspondingly, as income statement expenses for the relevant periods based on when such costs were incurred irrespective of whether such Business Combination Costs may be reimbursable in the future. See Note 2 - Restatement of Previously Filed Financial Statements to our financial statements included elsewhere herein.

To respond to these material weaknesses, we have devoted, and plan to continue to devote, significant effort and resources to the remediation and improvement of our internal control over financial reporting. While we have processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements, we plan to enhance our system of evaluating and implementing the complex accounting standards that apply to our financial statements as well as the application of those that apply to nuances in blank check companies in the process of a Business Combination such as ours. Our remediation plan at this time includes providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents, industry best practices and increased communication among our personnel and third-party accounting 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. We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these controls and will make any further changes management determines appropriate.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this report include the risk factors described in our 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2022. Any of these those factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. As of the date of this report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2022, except as disclosed below. We may also disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC. For risk factors related to the proposed SuperBac Business Combination, see the “Risk Factors” section of the preliminary prospectus/proxy statement to be included in a Registration Statement on Form F-4 that PubCo will file with the SEC relating to the proposed SuperBac Business Combination.

​

Changes in laws or regulations or how such laws or regulations are interpreted or applied, or a failure to comply with any laws or regulations, may adversely affect our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial Business Combination, and results of operations.

We are subject to laws and regulations enacted by national, regional and local governments. In particular, we are required to comply with certain SEC and other legal requirements, our Business Combination may be contingent on our ability to comply with certain laws and regulations and any post-Business Combination company may be subject to additional laws and regulations. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws and regulations may be difficult, time consuming and costly. A failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial Business Combination, and results of operations. In addition, those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may change from time to time, including as a result of changes in economic, political, social and government policies, and those changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial Business Combination, and results of operations.

On March 30, 2022, the SEC issued proposed rules that would, among other items, impose additional disclosure requirements in business combination transactions involving special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) and private operating companies; amend the financial statement requirements applicable to business combination transactions involving such companies; update and expand guidance regarding the general use of projections in SEC filings, as well as when projections are disclosed in connection with proposed business combination transactions; increase the potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combination transactions; and impact the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act. These rules, if adopted, whether in the form proposed or in revised form, may materially adversely affect our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial Business Combination and may increase the costs and time related thereto.

Our search for a Business Combination, and any target business with which we may ultimately consummate a Business Combination, may be materially adversely affected by the geopolitical conditions resulting from the recent invasion of Ukraine by Russia and subsequent sanctions against Russia, Belarus and related individuals and entities and the status of debt and equity markets, as well as protectionist legislation in our target markets.

The United States and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the escalation of geopolitical tensions and the recent invasion of Ukraine by Russia in February 2022. In response to such invasion, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) deployed additional military forces to eastern Europe, and the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have announced various sanctions and restrictive actions against Russia, Belarus and related individuals and entities, including the removal of certain financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) payment system. Certain countries, including the United States, have also provided and may continue to provide military aid or other assistance to Ukraine during the ongoing military conflict, increasing geopolitical tensions with Russia. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the resulting measures that have been taken, and could be taken in the future, by NATO, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have created global security concerns that could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies. Although the length and impact of the ongoing military conflict in Ukraine is highly unpredictable, the conflict could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions. Additionally, Russian military actions and the resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets.

Any of the abovementioned factors, or any other negative impact on the global economy, capital markets or other geopolitical conditions resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine and subsequent sanctions, could adversely affect our search for a Business Combination and any target business with which we may ultimately consummate a Business Combination. The extent and duration of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, resulting sanctions and any related market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could be substantial, particularly if current or new sanctions continue for an extended period of time or if geopolitical tensions result in expanded military operations on a global scale. Any such disruptions may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2022. If these disruptions or other matters of global concern continue for an extensive period of time, our ability to consummate a Business Combination, or the operations of a target business with which we may ultimately consummate a Business Combination, may be materially adversely affected.

In addition, the recent invasion of Ukraine by Russia, and the impact of sanctions against Russia and the potential for retaliatory acts from Russia, could result in increased cyber-attacks against U.S. companies.

We identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. These material weaknesses could continue to adversely affect our ability to report our results of operations and financial condition accurately and in a timely manner.

Our management team is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our management team also evaluated the effectiveness of our internal controls and we will disclose any changes and material weaknesses identified through such evaluation in those internal controls. We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

In connection with the preparation of our financial statements as of June 30, 2022, our management identified errors related to accounting for liabilities made in our previously issued (i) audited financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and for the period from March 11, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021 and (ii) unaudited condensed financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022. These errors related to our failure to previously recognize certain historical Business Combination Costs as liabilities on our balance sheet and, correspondingly, as expenses on our income statement for the affected periods on the basis that such Business Combination Costs are potentially reimbursable in the future upon the consummation of our pending business combination.

As a result of these errors, our management and audit committee determined that the Affected Financial Statements should be restated to recognize the Business Combination Costs as liabilities and, correspondingly, as income statement expenses for the relevant periods based on when such costs were incurred irrespective of whether such Business Combination Costs may be reimbursable in the future. In connection with this restatement, our management concluded that there was a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to accounting for liabilities and that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective for the impacted periods, including as of March 31, 2022, as a result of such material weakness.

In addition, as previously disclosed in our historic periodic reports starting with our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period from March 11, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021, our management previously identified errors made in our originally filed August 3, 2021 balance sheet and pro forma balance sheet related to the improper classification of a portion of our public shares as permanent equity to maintain shareholders’ equity greater than $5,000,000. Such error caused our management to conclude that there was a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to equity and redeemable equity classification and that our disclosure controls were not effective for the impacted periods, including as of March 31, 2022. For more information, see “Item 4. Controls and Procedures.”

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. We have taken and expect to take further steps to remediate the material weaknesses. However, these remediation measures may be time consuming and costly, and there is no assurance that any remediation efforts will ultimately have the intended effects.

If we are unable to remediate the material weaknesses in a timely manner or at all, or if we identify any additional material weaknesses in the future, (i) any such newly identified material weakness could limit our ability to prevent or detect a misstatement of our accounts or disclosures, (ii) we may be unable to provide required financial information in a timely and reliable manner, and (iii) we may incorrectly report our financial information. In such case, if our financial statements are not filed on a timely basis, we may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports in addition to applicable stock exchange listing requirements, and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by Nasdaq, the SEC or other regulatory authorities. If any of these events were to occur, it could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, the existence of material weaknesses or a significant deficiency in internal control over financial reporting could adversely affect our reputation or investor perceptions of us, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our securities.

We can provide no assurance that the measures we have taken and plan to take in the future will remediate the material weaknesses identified or that any additional material weaknesses or restatements of financial results will not arise in the future due to a failure to implement and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting.  In addition, even if we are successful in strengthening our controls and procedures, in the future those controls and procedures may not be adequate to prevent or identify irregularities or errors to facilitate the fair presentation of its financial statements.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

In March 2021, our Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 to cover certain expenses on behalf of us in exchange for the issuance of 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share. In May 2021, our Sponsor transferred 30,000 Founder Shares to each of Ana Cabral-Gardner, Denis Barros Pedreira and Camilo de Oliveira Tedde, our independent directors. The number of Founder Shares issued was determined based on the expectation that the Founder Shares would represent 20% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares after the Initial Public Offering. Such securities were issued in connection with our incorporation pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. Our Sponsor is an accredited investor for purposes of Rule 501 of Regulation D.

No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sales.
