CONSTELLATION ACQUISITION CORP I
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2024
Note 1 — Organization and Business Operations
Constellation Acquisition Corp I (the “Company”)
is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on November 20, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting
a merger, capital share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses
(a “Business Combination”).
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had not commenced
any operations. All activity through June 30, 2024 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “IPO”
or “Initial Public Offering”) which is described below, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company
will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates
non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO.
The registration statement for the Company’s
IPO was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 26, 2021 (the “Effective
Date”). On January 29, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 31,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with
respect to the Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A ordinary shares”), included in the Units
sold, the “Public Shares”), including 1,000,000 Units issued pursuant to the partial exercise of the underwriters’
over-allotment option, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $310,000,000, which is discussed in Note 3. Each Unit consists
of one Class A ordinary share, and one-third of one redeemable warrant to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per
whole share.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the
Company consummated the sale of 5,466,667 private placement warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”), at a price
of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, in a private placement to certain affiliates of the Company’s sponsor at the time,
Constellation Sponsor GmbH & Co. KG, a German limited partnership (the “Old Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds
of $8,200,000, which is discussed in Note 4.
Transaction costs of the IPO amounted to $17,586,741, consisting
of $6,200,000 of underwriting fees, $10,850,000 of deferred underwriting fees (the “Deferred Underwriting Fees”),
and $536,741 of other offering costs.
Following the closing of the IPO on January 29,
2021, $310,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net offering proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the
Private Placement Warrants was placed in a Company trust account (the “Trust Account”) and invested in United States
“government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, having a
maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company
Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in
the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay the income taxes, if any, the Company’s amended and restated memorandum
and articles of association (the “amended and restated memorandum and articles of association”) will provide that the proceeds
from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants held in the Trust Account will not be released from the Trust Account (1)
to the Company, until the completion of the initial Business Combination, or (2) to the public shareholders, until the earliest of (a)
the completion of the initial Business Combination, and then only in connection with those Class A ordinary shares that such shareholders
properly elected to redeem, subject to the limitations, (b) the redemption of any Public Shares properly tendered in connection with a
(A) shareholder vote to amend the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to modify the substance or timing of the
Company’s obligation to provide holders of the Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with
the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination
by the date by which the Company is required to consummate a Business Combination pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated
memorandum and articles of association (such period, the “Combination Period”), or (B) with respect to any other provision
relating to the rights of holders of the Class A ordinary shares or pre-initial Business Combination activity, and (c) the redemption
of the Public Shares if the Company has not consummated the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. Public shareholders
who redeem their Class A ordinary shares in connection with a shareholder vote described in clause (b) in the preceding sentence shall
not be entitled to funds from the Trust Account upon the subsequent completion of an initial Business Combination or liquidation if the
Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, with respect to such Class A ordinary shares
so redeemed.
The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could
become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the public shareholders.
The Company will provide its public shareholders
with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either
(i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the initial Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The
decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a proposed initial Business Combination or conduct a tender offer
will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The shareholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion
of the amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (initially approximately $10.00 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the
funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations).
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 (10) business days, 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 the income taxes, if any, divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, which
redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation
distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining
shareholders and the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses
(ii) and (iii), to the 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 Private Placement Warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to consummate an initial
Business Combination within the Combination Period.
The Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed
to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares (as defined below) and any Public Shares purchased during or after
the IPO in connection with (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to
the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions
from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within the
Combination Period.
The Company’s Sponsor has agreed that it
will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company,
or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement
or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share
and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less
than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply
to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust
Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters
of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
However, the Company has not asked its Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified
whether its Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that the Company’s Sponsor’s only
assets are Securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure that its Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations.
On January 26, 2023, the Old Sponsor underwent
a reorganization pursuant to which the limited partners of the Old Sponsor transferred all of their limited partnership interests to Constellation
Sponsor LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Sponsor”). On January 26, 2023, the Old Sponsor liquidated pursuant to applicable
law by the retirement of the general partner of the Old Sponsor (the second to last partner of the Sponsor) and all Securities held by
the Old Sponsor were distributed by operation of law to its sole remaining limited partner, the Sponsor, following which, on January 30,
2023, control of the Sponsor was transferred to affiliates of Antarctica Capital Partners, LLC, including Antarctica Endurance Manager,
LLC the current general partner of the Sponsor.
On January 27, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary
general meeting of shareholders of the Company (the “Extension Meeting”) to amend the Company’s amended and restated
memorandum and articles of association (the “2023 Articles Amendment”) to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate
a Business Combination from January 29, 2023 (the “2023 Original Termination Date”) to April 29, 2023 (the “2023 Articles
Extension Date”) and to allow the Company, without another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date to consummate
a Business Combination on a monthly basis for up to nine times by an additional one month each time after the 2023 Articles Extension
Date, by resolution of the Company’s Board if requested by the Sponsor, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable
Termination Date, or a total of up to twelve (12) months after the 2023 Original Termination Date, unless the closing of the Company’s
initial Business Combination shall have occurred prior to such date (the “2023 Extension Amendment Proposal”). Upon each of
the nine one-month extensions, the Sponsor or one or more of its affiliates, members or third-party designees may contribute to the Company
$150,000 as a loan to be deposited into the Trust Account. The shareholders of the Company approved the 2023 Extension Amendment Proposal
at the Extension Meeting and on January 31, 2023, the Company filed the 2023 Articles Amendment with the Registrar of Companies of the
Cayman Islands. In connection with the Extension Meeting, on January 30, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note, in the
amount of $3,000,000 to the Sponsor (the “Extension Note”).
In connection with the vote to approve the 2023
Extension Amendment Proposal, the holders of 26,506,157 Class A ordinary shares of the Company properly exercised their right to redeem
their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.17 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $269,485,746.
On April 28, 2023, May 26, 2023, July 3, 2023,
July 28, 2023, August 29, 2023, September 29, 2023, October 26, 2023, November 28, 2023 and December 28, 2023, the Company drew an aggregate
of $150,000 on each date, as approved by unanimous director resolution, dated April 24, 2023, pursuant to the Extension Note, which funds
the Company deposited into the Trust Account for its public shareholders. This deposit enabled the Company to extend the date by which
it must complete its initial Business Combination from April 29, 2023 to January 29, 2024. These extensions are nine one-month extensions
permitted under the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and provides the Company with additional time to complete
its initial Business Combination. The Extension Note does not bear interest and matures upon closing of the Company’s initial Business
Combination. In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination, the Extension Note will be repaid only from amounts
remaining outside of the Trust Account, if any.
On December 20, 2023, the Company announced its
intention to voluntarily delist its Class A ordinary shares, redeemable warrants, each one whole warrant exercisable for one share of
Class A ordinary shares at an exercise price of $11.50 (the “Public Warrants”) and Units (collectively, the “Securities”)
from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and its intention to make an application to have its Securities quoted on the OTCQX
Marketplace (“OTCQX”).
The Board approved the voluntary delisting on
December 20, 2023, and the Company provided notice of the voluntary delisting to NYSE on December 20, 2023. The Company filed a Form 25
with the SEC to effect the delisting of its Securities on January 2, 2024. The delisting became effective on January 12, 2024 when the
Form 25 took effect. The last day of trading of its Securities on NYSE was January 12, 2024, and the Securities were suspended pre-market
on January 16, 2024. On January 16, 2024, the Company’s Securities began trading on the OTCQX where the Class A ordinary shares
and Units began trading on the OTCQX® Best Market under their new trading symbols “CSTAF” and “CSTUF,”
respectively, and the warrants started trading on the OTCQB® Venture Market under its new trading symbol “CSTWF.”
In connection with the extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders on January 29, 2024 (the “Shareholder Meeting”) the
Company adhered to the initial or continued trading requirements of OTCQX.
On January 23, 2024 and January 25, 2024, the
Company held extraordinary general meetings and only voted on the Adjournment Proposal (as defined below) to adjourn the Shareholder Meeting
to January 25, 2024 and January 29, 2024, respectively. On January 29, 2024, the Company held its Shareholder Meeting (A) to amend, by
way of special resolution, the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “2024 Articles Amendment”)
to extend the date (the “Termination Date”) by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination from January 29,
2024 (the “2024 Original Termination Date”) to February 29, 2024 (the “Articles Extension Date”) and to allow
the Company, without another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date to consummate a Business Combination on a monthly
basis for up to eleven (11) times by an additional one month each time after the Articles Extension Date, by resolution of the Board,
if requested by the Sponsor, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until January 29, 2025,
or a total of up to twelve (12) months after the 2024 Original Termination Date, unless the closing of a Business Combination shall have
occurred prior thereto (the “2024 Extension Amendment Proposal”); (B) to amend, by way of special resolution, the amended
and restated memorandum and articles of association to eliminate the limitation that the Company may not redeem Class A ordinary shares,
to the extent that such redemption would result in the Company having net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), of less than $5,000,001 (the “Redemption Limitation”) in order to allow
the Company to redeem Class A ordinary shares irrespective of whether such redemption would exceed the Redemption Limitation (such proposal
the “Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal”); and (C) if required, an adjournment proposal to adjourn, by way of ordinary
resolution, the Shareholder Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, (i) to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if,
based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Shareholder Meeting, there are insufficient ordinary shares (as defined below) in the
capital of the Company represented (either in person or by proxy) to approve the 2024 Extension Amendment Proposal and the Redemption
Limitation Amendment Proposal, (ii) where the Company would not adhere to the initial or continued trading requirements of OTCQX or (iii)
where the Board has determined it is otherwise necessary (the “Adjournment Proposal”).
The shareholders of the Company approved the 2024
Extension Amendment Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal at the Shareholder Meeting and on January 30, 2024, the
Company filed the 2024 Articles Amendment with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands, effective January 29, 2024.
In connection with the vote to approve the 2024
Extension Amendment Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal, the holders of 2,126,159 Class A ordinary shares properly
exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $11.13 per share, for an aggregate redemption
amount of approximately $23,671,533. After the satisfaction of such redemptions and receipt of the initial deposit of $55,000 to the Trust
Account, the balance in the Trust Account was approximately $26,415,545 after the redemptions and initial deposit.
On January 30, 2024, the Sponsor converted an
aggregate of 7,600,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B ordinary shares” and together with
the Class A ordinary shares, the “ordinary shares”) into Class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis. The Sponsor waived
any right to receive funds from the Trust Account with respect to the Class A ordinary shares received upon such conversion and acknowledged
that such shares will be subject to all of the restrictions applicable to the original Class B ordinary shares under the terms of that
certain letter agreement, dated as of January 26, 2021 (the “Letter Agreement”), by and among the Company and its initial
shareholders, directors and officers (as further amended by and among, the Company, its directors and officers, the Sponsor and other
parties thereto, on January 30, 2023). As of January 30, 2024, there are 9,967,684 Class A ordinary shares outstanding which is composed
of 7,600,000 non-redeemable Class A ordinary shares and 2,367,684 redeemable Class A ordinary shares.
In connection with the Shareholder Meeting, the
Sponsor agreed that the Sponsor (or one or more of its affiliates, members or third-party designees) (the “Lender”) shall
make a deposit into the Trust Account established in connection with the Company’s Initial Public Offering of $55,000, in exchange
for a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note issued by the Company to the Lender. In addition, in the event that the Company
has not consummated an initial Business Combination by February 29, 2024, without approval of the Company’s public shareholders,
the Company may, by resolution of the Company’s Board, if requested by the Sponsor, and upon five days’ advance notice prior
to the applicable Termination Date, extend the Termination Date up to eleven (11) times, each by one additional month (for a total of
up to eleven (11) additional months to complete a Business Combination), provided that the Lender will deposit $55,000 into the Trust
Account for each such monthly extension, for an aggregate deposit of up to $605,000 (if all eleven (11) additional monthly extensions
are exercised), in exchange for a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note issued by the Company to the Lender.
On February 29, 2024, the Company drew an aggregate
of $55,000 (the “Extension Funds”), as approved by unanimous director resolution, dated February 27, 2024 pursuant to the
Extension Note, which Extension Funds the Company deposited into the Trust Account for its public shareholders. The deposit enabled the
Company to extend the date by which it must complete its initial Business Combination from February 29, 2024 to March 29, 2024 (the “First
2024 Extension”). The First 2024 Extension was the first of the eleven one-month extensions permitted under the Company’s
amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and provides the Company with additional time to complete its initial Business
Combination. The 2024 Note does not bear interest and matures upon closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination. In the
event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination, the 2024 Note will be repaid only from amounts remaining outside of
the Trust Account, if any.
On March 28, 2024, the Company drew additional
Extension Funds, as approved by unanimous extension committee resolution, dated March 28, 2024, pursuant to the Extension Note, which
Extension Funds the Company deposited into the Trust Account for its public shareholders. This deposit enabled the Company to extend the
date by which it must complete its initial Business Combination from March 29, 2024 to April 29, 2024 (the “Second 2024 Extension”).
The Second 2024 Extension was the second of eleven one-month extensions permitted under the Company’s amended and restated memorandum
and articles of association and provides the Company with additional time to complete its initial Business Combination. The 2024 Note
does not bear interest and matures upon closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination. In the event that the Company does
not consummate a Business Combination, the 2024 Note will be repaid only from amounts remaining outside of the Trust Account, if any.
On April 29, 2024, the Company drew additional
Extension Funds, as approved by unanimous extension committee resolution, dated April 29, 2024, pursuant to the Extension Note, which
Extension Funds the Company deposited into the Trust Account for its public shareholders. This deposit enabled the Company to extend the
date by which it must complete its initial Business Combination from April 29, 2024 to May 29, 2024 (the “Third 2024 Extension”).
The Third 2024 Extension was the third of eleven one-month extensions permitted under the Company’s amended and restated memorandum
and articles of association and provides the Company with additional time to complete its initial Business Combination. The 2024 Note
does not bear interest and matures upon closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination. In the event that the Company does
not consummate a Business Combination, the 2024 Note will be repaid only from amounts remaining outside of the Trust Account, if any.
On May 29, 2024, the Company drew additional Extension
Funds, as approved by unanimous extension committee resolution, dated May 29, 2024, pursuant to the Extension Note, which Extension Funds
the Company deposited into the Trust Account for its public shareholders. This deposit enabled the Company to extend the date by which
it must complete its initial Business Combination from May 29, 2024 to June 29, 2024 (the “Fourth 2024 Extension”). The Fourth
2024 Extension was the fourth of eleven one-month extensions permitted under the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles
of association and provides the Company with additional time to complete its initial Business Combination. The 2024 Note does not bear
interest and matures upon closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination. In the event that the Company does not consummate
a Business Combination, the 2024 Note will be repaid only from amounts remaining outside of the Trust Account, if any.
On June 28, 2024, the Company drew additional
Extension Funds, as approved by unanimous extension committee resolution, dated June 25, 2024, pursuant to the Extension Note, which Extension
Funds the Company deposited into the Trust Account for its public shareholders. This deposit enabled the Company to extend the date by
which it must complete its initial Business Combination from June 29, 2024 to July 29, 2024 (the “Fifth 2024 Extension”).
The Fifth 2024 Extension was the fifth of eleven one-month extensions permitted under the Company’s amended and restated memorandum
and articles of association and provides the Company with additional time to complete its initial Business Combination. The 2024 Note
does not bear interest and matures upon closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination. In the event that the Company does
not consummate a Business Combination, the 2024 Note will be repaid only from amounts remaining outside of the Trust Account, if any.
On July 23, 2024, the Company drew additional
Extension Funds, as approved by unanimous extension committee resolution, dated July 22, 2024, pursuant to the Extension Note, which Extension
Funds the Company deposited into the Trust Account for its public shareholders. This deposit enabled the Company to extend the date by
which it must complete its initial Business Combination from July 29, 2024 to August 29, 2024 (the “Sixth 2024 Extension”).
The Sixth 2024 Extension was the sixth of eleven one-month extensions permitted under the Company’s amended and restated memorandum
and articles of association and provides the Company with additional time to complete its initial Business Combination. The 2024 Note
does not bear interest and matures upon closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination. In the event that the Company does
not consummate a Business Combination, the 2024 Note will be repaid only from amounts remaining outside of the Trust Account, if any.
Risks and Uncertainties
Management continues to evaluate the impact of
the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry including resurgences and the emergence of new variants and has concluded that while it is reasonably
possible that it 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 unaudited condensed financial statements. The
unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Management acknowledges that the Company depends
on a variety of U.S. and multi-national financial institutions for banking services. Market conditions can impact the viability of these
institutions, which in effect will affect the Company’s ability to maintain and provide assurances that the Company can access its
cash and cash equivalents in a timely manner or at all. Any inability to access or delay in accessing these funds could adversely affect
the Company’s liquidity, business and financial condition.
In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus
commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. As a result of this action, various nations, including the United States, have
instituted economic sanctions against the Russian Federation and Belarus. Further, the impact of this action and related sanctions on
the world economy is not determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements. The specific impact on the Company’s
financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed financial
statements.
In October 2023, the Israel-Hamas war commenced.
As a result of the war, instability in the Middle East and various other regions of the world may occur and effect the world economy.
Various nations, including the United States, as a reaction to the Israel-Hamas war have begun taking actions that may further affect
the world economy. Such effects on the world economy are not determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements.
The specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows is also not determinable as of the
date of these unaudited condensed financial statements.
Liquidity and Going Concern Consideration
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $7,133 in
its operating bank account and a working capital deficit of $7,866,115.
The Company is within 12 months of its mandatory
liquidation as of the time of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern
considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability
to Continue as a Going Concern,” the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation raise substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern until the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination or the Termination Date.
These unaudited condensed financial statements
do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be
necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
As such, management plans to consummate a Business
Combination prior to the mandatory liquidation date. If the Company’s estimates 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, the Company may have
insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to an initial Business Combination. Moreover, the Company may need to obtain
additional financing either to complete an initial Business Combination or because it becomes obligated to redeem a significant number
of its Public Shares upon completion of an initial Business Combination, in which case the Company may issue additional securities or
incur debt in connection with such initial Business Combination.
Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial
statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”)
for financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, which
include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. The
interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
year ending December 31, 2024 or for any future period.
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form
10-K filed by the Company with the SEC on March 29, 2024 (the “Annual Report”).
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an “emerging growth company,”
as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”),
and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that
are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements
of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and
proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder
approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts
emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that
is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered
under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company
can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but
any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that
when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging
growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison
of the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company
nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential
differences in accounting standards used.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed financial
statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported
amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Making estimates requires management to exercise
significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances
that existed at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could
change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these
unaudited condensed financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liability and convertible promissory notes.
Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and, accordingly, the actual results could differ
significantly from those estimates.
Cash
The Company considers all short-term investments
with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents
as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Cash Held in Trust Account
At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the assets
held in the Trust Account were held in a bank deposit account. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company withdrew $23,671,533
from the Trust Account in connection with the redemption.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts and a Trust Account in a financial institution, which, at times,
may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have
a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition.
Warrant Liabilities
The Company evaluated the Public Warrants and
Private Placement Warrants (collectively, “Warrants,” which are discussed in Notes 3, 4, and 8) in accordance with Accounting
Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”
(“ASC 815-40”), and concluded that a provision in the Warrant Agreement related to certain tender or exchange offers precludes
the Warrants from being accounted for as components of equity. As the Warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in
ASC 815, the Warrants are recorded as derivative liabilities on the condensed balance sheets and measured at fair value at inception (on
the date of the IPO) and at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement” (“ASC 820”),
with changes in fair value recognized in the condensed statements of operations in the period of change.
Convertible Promissory Note
The Company analyzed the convertible promissory
notes to assess if the fair value option was appropriate, due to the substantial premium which results in an offsetting entry to additional
paid-in capital and under the related party guidance which precludes the fair value option, it was determined the fair value option was
not appropriate. As such, the Company accounted for the convertible promissory notes, analyzing the conversion options embedded in convertible
notes in accordance with ASC 815. ASC 815 generally requires companies to bifurcate conversion options embedded in convertible notes from
their host instruments and to account for them as freestanding derivative financial instruments.
Bifurcated embedded derivatives are initially
recorded at fair value and are then revalued at each reporting date with changes in the fair value reported as non-operating income or
expense. When the equity or convertible debt instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted
for as liabilities, the total proceeds received are first allocated to the fair value of all the bifurcated derivative instruments. The
remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the host instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded
at a discount from their face value. The discount from the face value of the convertible debt, together with the stated interest on the
instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to interest expense.
It was determined that the conversion option was
de minimis, as such the Company has recorded the Convertible Promissory Notes at par value.
Offering Costs Associated with the Initial
Public Offering
The Company complies with the requirements of
the ASC 340-10-S99-1. Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the IPO that
were directly related to the IPO. Offering costs are allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the IPO based on a relative
fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with warrant liabilities are expensed as incurred, presented
as non-operating expenses in the condensed statements of operations. Transaction costs amounted to $17,586,741, of which $1,143,138
was allocated to expense associated with the warrant liability. Offering costs associated with the Class A ordinary shares were charged
to temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO.
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible
Redemption
All of the 31,000,000 Class A ordinary
shares sold as part of the Units in the IPO contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection
with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in
connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. In accordance with
the SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions
not solely within the control of the Company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity.
Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity’s equity instruments, are excluded
from the provisions of ASC 480. Accordingly, at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 2,367,684 and 4,493,843 Class A ordinary shares
subject to possible redemption were presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s
condensed balance sheets, respectively.
The Company recognizes changes in redemption value
immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption to equal the redemption
value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible
redemption are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.
The Class A ordinary shares subject to possible
redemption reflected on the condensed balance sheets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are reconciled in the following table:

Income Taxes
ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and
a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax
return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.
There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company’s management determined that the
Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized
tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of June 30, 2024 and December
31, 2023. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material
deviation from its position. The Company has been subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.
The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman
Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing
requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the periods presented.
The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next
twelve (12) months.
Net Income (loss) per Ordinary Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure
requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net loss per share is computed
by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, excluding ordinary shares subject
to forfeiture. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the IPO and the private placement to purchase an aggregate
of 15,800,000 Class A ordinary shares (the “Private Placement”) in the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per ordinary
share, since the exercise of the Warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As a result, diluted net income (loss)
per ordinary share is the same as basic net income (loss) per ordinary share for the periods presented.
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per ordinary
share for Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares is calculated by dividing net income attributable to the Company by the
weighted average number of Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares outstanding, allocated proportionally to each class of
ordinary shares. This presentation assumes a Business Combination as the most likely outcome. Accretion associated with the redeemable
Class A ordinary shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
Reconciliation of Net Income (loss) per Ordinary
Share

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for
its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets
and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.
The fair value of the Company’s financial
assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale
of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of
observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions
about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities
based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
|
Level 1 — |
Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not being applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment. |
|
|
|
|
Level 2 — |
Valuations based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities, or (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market through correlation or other means. |
|
|
|
|
Level 3 — |
Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. |
The fair value of the Company’s assets and
liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820 (other than warrant liability), approximates the carrying amounts
represented in the accompanying condensed balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.
See Note 8 for additional information on assets
and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company’s management does not believe
that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying
unaudited condensed financial statements.
Note 3 — Initial Public Offering
Public Units
On January 29, 2021, the Company sold 31,000,000
Units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit, including 1,000,000 Units issued pursuant to the partial exercise of the underwriters’
over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, and one-third of one redeemable warrant to purchase one Class
A ordinary share.
Public Warrants
Each whole warrant will entitle the holder to
purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Each warrant will become exercisable on
the later of 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the IPO and will expire
five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The Company will not be obligated to deliver any
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 Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus
relating thereto is current, or a valid exemption from registration is available. No warrant will be exercisable, and the Company will
not be obligated to issue a Class A ordinary share upon exercise of a warrant, unless the Class A ordinary share 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. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant,
the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no
event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the
exercised warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the
Class A ordinary share underlying such unit.
In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional
Class A ordinary shares or equity linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business
Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per Class A ordinary share (with such issue price or effective
issue price to be determined in good faith by the Board and, in the case of any such issuance to the initial shareholders or their affiliates,
without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the initial shareholders or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance
including any transfer or reissuance of such shares (the “Newly Issued Price”)), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such
issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination,
and (z) the volume-weighted average trading price of the Class A ordinary shares during the ten (10) trading day period starting on the
trading day after the day on which the Company consummates the initial Business Combination is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price
of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the market value and the Newly Issued Price,
and the $10.00 and $18.00 per share redemption trigger prices adjacent to “Redemption of warrants for Class A ordinary shares when
the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00.” and “Redemption of warrants for Class A ordinary shares when
the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00.” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 100% and 180%
of the higher of the market value and the Newly Issued Price, respectively.
The Company will not be obligated to deliver any
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 Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants is then effective
and a prospectus is current. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue Class A ordinary shares
upon exercise of a warrant unless 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. In no event will the Company
be required to net cash settle any warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the
purchaser of a unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the Class A ordinary shares
underlying such unit.
Redemptions of warrants for cash when the price
per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00.
Once the warrants become exercisable, the
Company may call the warrants for redemption (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):
| ● | in whole and not in part; |
| | |
| ● | at a price of $0.01 per warrant; |
| | |
| ● | upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and |
| | |
| ● | if, and only if, the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which notice of the redemption is given to the warrant holders (the “Reference Value”). |
Redemptions of warrants for cash when the price
per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00.
Once the warrants become exercisable, the
Company may call the warrants for redemption (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):
| ● | in whole and not in part; |
| | |
| ● | at $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; provided that during such 30 day period holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares determined by reference to the table in the registration statement, based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of the Class A ordinary shares (as defined below) except as otherwise described below; provided, further, that if the warrants are not exercised on a cashless basis or otherwise during such 30 day period, the Company shall redeem such warrants for $0.10 per share; |
| | |
| ● | if, and only if, the Reference Value equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) on the trading day before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and |
| | |
| ● | if the Reference Value is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like), the Private Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants. |
The “fair market value” of the Class
A ordinary shares shall mean the volume-weighted average price of the Class A ordinary shares for the ten (10) trading days immediately
following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. This redemption feature differs from the typical
warrant redemption features used in other blank check offerings. The Company will provide the warrant holders with the final fair market
value no later than one business day after the 10-day trading period described above ends. In no event will the warrants be exercisable
in connection with this redemption feature for more than 0.361 Class A ordinary shares per warrant (subject to adjustment).
Note 4 — Private Placement
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the
Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 5,466,667 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, for an aggregate
purchase price of $8,200,000, in a private placement. A portion of the proceeds from the private placement was added to the proceeds from
the IPO held in the Trust Account.
Each of the Private Placement Warrants are identical
to the warrants sold as part of the Units in the IPO except that, so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees:
(1) they will not be redeemable by the Company; (2) they (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants)
may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the Sponsor until 30 days after the completion of
the initial Business Combination; (3) they may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis; and (4) they (including the Class A ordinary
shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants) are entitled to registration rights.
If the Company does not complete a Business Combination
within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.
Note 5 — Related Party Transactions
Founder Shares
On November 23, 2020, an executive officer of
the Company purchased 8,625,000 shares of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares for $25,000, or approximately $0.003 per share,
in connection with formation (the “Founder Shares”). On December 23, 2020, such 8,625,000 shares of the Company’s Class
B ordinary shares were transferred to the Sponsor for $25,000. The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 1,125,000 shares subject
to forfeiture if the over-allotment option was not exercised by the underwriters in full. On January 29, 2021, the underwriters partially
exercised their over-allotment option, hence, 250,000 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture, and on March 1, 2021, the remaining
875,000 Founder Shares were forfeited by the Sponsor.
The Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed
not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (i) one year after the date of the consummation
of the initial Business Combination or (ii) subsequent to the initial Business Combination, (x) if the closing price of the Class A ordinary
shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations
and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination,
or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that
results in all of the public shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.
Promissory Note — Related Party
In November 2020, the Company issued an unsecured
promissory note to an executive officer of the Company. This loan was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due at the earlier of December
31, 2021 or the closing of the IPO. On December 31, 2020, the amount borrowed under the note was $1,300. During the period from January
1, 2021 to January 28, 2021, an additional $88,540 was borrowed under the promissory note, and on January 29, 2021, the balance of
$89,840 repaid in full from the proceeds of the IPO, and is no longer available to be drawn upon.
On February 23, 2021, the Company issued an unsecured
promissory note (the “2021 Note”) in the amount of up to $699,999 to certain affiliates of the Old Sponsor. The proceeds
of the 2021 Note, which may be drawn down from time to time until the Company consummates its initial Business Combination, will be used
for general working capital purposes.
The 2021 Note bears no interest and is payable
in full upon the earlier to occur of (i) the Termination Date or (ii) the consummation of the Company’s Business Combination. A
failure to pay the principal within five business days of the date specified above or the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy
action shall be deemed an event of default, in which case the 2021 Note may be accelerated. The affiliates of the Sponsor had the option
to convert any unpaid balance of the 2021 Note into Private Placement Warrants (the “Conversion Warrants”), each warrant exercisable
for one ordinary share of the Company at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The terms of the Conversion Warrants would be identical
to the warrants issued by the Company to affiliates of the Sponsor in a private placement that was consummated in connection with the
Company’s IPO. The affiliates of the Sponsor shall be entitled to certain registration rights relating to the Conversion Warrants.
On May 3, 2021, the 2021 Note was amended to remove the option to convert any unpaid balance of the 2021 Note into Private Placement Warrants. As
of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no amounts outstanding under the 2021 Note.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company
issued a number of unsecured promissory notes (the “2022 Notes”) totaling $258,780 to certain executive officers and affiliates
of the Company. The proceeds of the 2022 Notes will be used as general working capital purposes. The 2022 Notes bear no interest and is
payable in full upon the earlier to occur of (i) the Termination Date or (ii) the consummation of the Company’s Business Combination.
Failure to pay the principals within five business days of the date specified above or the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary
bankruptcy action shall be deemed an event of default, in which case the 2022 Notes may be accelerated. As of June 30, 2024 and December
31, 2023, $227,208 were outstanding under the 2022 Notes.
On January 30, 2024, the Company issued an unsecured
promissory note in the principal amount of $1,660,000 (the “2024 Note”) to the Sponsor. The 2024 Note does not bear interest
and matures upon closing of the Business Combination. In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination, the 2024
Note will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven. As of June
30, 2024, $735,000 was outstanding under the 2024 Note.
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $962,208
and $227,208 were outstanding under the promissory notes to the Sponsor, respectively. Subsequent to June 30, 2024, the Company has borrowed
$55,000 for funding the Fifth 2024 Extension of the Company.
Administrative Support Agreement
As of January 26, 2021 the Company had agreed,
commencing on the date that the Securities of the Company were first listed on NYSE, to pay the Sponsor up to $10,000 per month for
office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support, and other obligations of the Sponsor. Upon completion of the initial
Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For each of the three and six
months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $30,000 and $60,000 administrative service fees, respectively. $180,000 and
$120,000 are reported as due to related parties in the accompanying condensed balance sheets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023,
respectively.
Working Capital Loans
In order to finance transaction costs in connection
with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or any of its affiliates or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are
not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business
Combination, the Company will repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise,
the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does
not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but
no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans
may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination company at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender.
On January 18, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured
promissory note (the “2023 Note”) in the amount of $230,000 to the Sponsor. The proceeds of the 2023 Note will be used for
general working capital purposes. The 2023 Note bears no interest and is payable in full upon the earlier to occur of (i) the consummation
of the Company’s Business Combination or (ii) the date that the winding up of the Company is effective. A failure to pay the principal
within five business days of the date specified above or the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy action shall be deemed
an event of default, in which case the 2023 Note may be accelerated. At the election of the Sponsor, all or a portion of the unpaid principal
amount of the 2023 Note may be converted into warrants of the Company, at a price of $1.50 per warrant, each warrant exercisable for one
Class A ordinary share of the Company. The warrants shall be identical to the Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor at the
time of the Company’s IPO. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $227,208 is outstanding under this 2023 Note.
As disclosed in the definitive proxy statement
filed by the Company with the SEC on December 30, 2022 relating to the Extension Meeting, the Sponsor agreed that if the 2023 Extension
Amendment Proposal is approved, it or one or more of its affiliates, members or third-party designees will contribute to the Company as
a loan, within ten (10) business days of the date of the Extension Meeting, $450,000, to be deposited into the Trust Account. In addition,
in the event the Company does not consummate an initial Business Combination by the Articles Extension Date, the Lender may contribute
to the Company $150,000 as a loan to be deposited into the Trust Account for each of nine one-month extensions following the Articles
Extension Date.
Accordingly, on January 30, 2023, the Company
issued the Extension Note to the Sponsor. The Sponsor funded the initial principal amount of $450,000 on January 30, 2023. The Extension
Note does not bear interest and matures upon closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination. In the event that the Company
does not consummate a Business Combination, the Extension Note will be repaid only from amounts remaining outside of the Trust Account,
if any. The proceeds of the Extension Note will be deposited in the Trust Account. At the election of the payee, $1,270,000 of the total
principal amount of the Extension Note may be converted, in whole or in part, at the option of the Lender into warrants of the Company
at a price of $1.50 per warrant, which warrants will be identical to the Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor at the time
of the IPO of the Company. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $2,951,000 and $2,901,000 are outstanding under this Extension Note,
respectively.
The notes were accounted for using the bifurcation
method, and it was determined that the conversion feature was de minimis and was recorded at par value. As of June 30, 2024 and December
31, 2023, there were $3,181,000 and $3,131,000 of borrowings under the Working Capital Loans, respectively.
Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies
Registration Rights
The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement
Warrants, Class A ordinary shares underlying the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working
Capital Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued
upon conversion of Working Capital Loans) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement
to be signed prior to or on the Effective Date of the IPO. The holders of these Securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding
short form demands, that the Company registers such Securities. In addition, the
holders have certain “piggyback” 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. In addition, if the Sponsor affiliates acquire shares in the IPO, they would become affiliates (as defined in the Securities Act)
of the Company following the IPO, and the Company would file a registration statement following the IPO to register the resale of the
Public Shares purchased by the Sponsor affiliates (or their nominees) in the IPO. The Sponsor affiliates will not be subject to any lock-up
period with respect to any Public Shares they may purchase. The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidated damages or other
cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in registering the Company’s Securities. The Company will bear the expenses incurred
in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The underwriters had a 45-day option from the
date of the IPO to purchase up to an aggregate of 4,500,000 additional Units at the public offering price less the underwriting commissions
to cover over-allotments, if any. On January 29, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option to purchase 1,000,000
Units, and were paid an underwriting discount in aggregate of $6,200,000. As of March 15, 2021, the remaining over-allotment option expired.
Additionally, the underwriters will be entitled
to a deferred underwriting discount of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO held in the Trust Account, or $10,850,000, upon the completion
of the Company’s initial Business Combination subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Investment Agreement
On January 26, 2023, the Company, entered into
an Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with the Old Sponsor, and Endurance Constellation, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Investor agreed to contribute to the Old Sponsor an aggregate amount
in cash equal up to $3,000,000, which amount will be loaned to the Company in accordance with the Extension Note, in consideration for
which, the Sponsor shall issue to the Investor interests in certain equity securities.
In connection with the closing of the transactions
contemplated by the Investment Agreement, on January 26, 2023, the Old Sponsor underwent a reorganization pursuant to which the limited
partners of the Old Sponsor transferred all of their limited partnership interests to the Sponsor. On January 26, 2023, the Old Sponsor
was liquidated pursuant to applicable law by the retirement of the general partner of the Old Sponsor (the second to last partner of the
Old Sponsor) and all Securities held by the Old Sponsor were distributed by operation of law to its sole remaining limited partner, the
Sponsor, following which, on January 30, 2023, control of the Sponsor was transferred to affiliates of Antarctica Capital Partners, LLC,
including Antarctica Endurance Manager, LLC the general partner of the Sponsor.
The Investment Agreement contains customary representations
and warranties of the parties, including, among others, with respect to corporate organization, corporate authority, and compliance with
applicable laws. The representations and warranties of each party set forth in the Investment Agreement were made solely for the benefit
of the other parties to the Investment Agreement, and shareholders of the Company are not third-party beneficiaries of the Investment
Agreement. In addition, such representations and warranties (a) are subject to materiality and other qualifications contained in the Investment
Agreement, which may differ from what may be viewed as material by shareholders of the Company, (b) were made only as of the date of the
Investment Agreement or such other date as is specified in the Investment Agreement and (c) may have been included in the Investment Agreement
for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Accordingly, the Investment Agreement
is included with this filing only to provide shareholders of the Company with information regarding the terms of the Investment Agreement,
and not to provide shareholders of the Company with any other factual information regarding any of the parties or their respective businesses.
Letter Agreement
On January 30, 2023, the Company, the Old Sponsor,
certain officers and directors of the Company, and other parties thereto (the “Insiders,” and together with the Old Sponsor,
the “Letter Agreement Parties”) entered into an amendment to the Letter Agreement to allow the Old Sponsor to transfer its
holdings in the Company, directly or indirectly, to affiliate(s) of Antarctica Capital Partners, LLC prior to the expiration of the applicable
lock-up. In connection with the resignation of certain Insiders, the Letter Agreement Parties agreed that all Insiders that have resigned
from their positions as officers and/or directors of the Company and that no longer hold Class B ordinary shares shall no longer be parties
to the Letter Agreement.

2023, there were 150,000 and 7,750,000 shares issued and outstanding, respectively.
The Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed
not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (i) one year after the date of the consummation
of the initial Business Combination or (ii) subsequent to the initial Business Combination, (x) if the closing price of the Class A ordinary
shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations
and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination,
or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that
results in all of the public shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.
The Founder Shares will automatically convert
into Class A ordinary shares on the first business day following the consummation of the initial Business Combination at a ratio such
that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted
basis, 20% of the sum of (i) the total number of ordinary shares issued and outstanding upon completion of the IPO, plus (ii) the sum
of the total number of Class A ordinary shares issued or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities
or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial Business Combination,
excluding any Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A ordinary shares issued,
deemed issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor,
officers and directors or any of their affiliates upon conversion of Working Capital Loans. In no event will the Class B ordinary shares
convert into Class A ordinary shares at a rate of less than one to one.
Holders of the Class A ordinary shares and holders
of the Class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders,
with each share of ordinary shares entitling the holder to one vote.
Note 8 — Fair Value Measurements
The following table presents information about
the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023,
and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:
Description | |
Level | | |
June 30, 2024 | | |
Level | | |
December 31, 2023 | |
Liabilities | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| |
Public Warrant Liability | |
| 2 | | |
$ | 176,700 | | |
| 2 | | |
$ | 196,332 | |
Private Placement Warrant Liability | |
| 2 | | |
$ | 93,480 | | |
| 2 | | |
$ | 103,867 | |
The Warrants are accounted for as liabilities
in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liability on the condensed balance sheets. The warrant liabilities are
measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant
liability in the condensed statements of operations.
The Company established the initial fair
value for the Public Warrants on January 29, 2021, the date of the Company’s IPO, using a Monte Carlo simulation model, and
for the Private Placement Warrants on January 29, 2021, using a Black-Scholes model. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the
fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was valued utilizing the quoted market price of the Public Warrants, and the fair value
of the Public Warrants by reference to the quoted market price of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants and Private Placement
Warrants were classified as Level 3 at the initial measurement date. There were no transfers among fair value hierarchy during the
three and six months ended June 30, 2024. The Public Warrants are classified as Level 2 due to the lack of trading activity as of
the reporting date. The estimated fair value of the Public Warrants transferred from a Level 1 measurement to a Level 2 fair value
measurement during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $606,050.
Note 9 — Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions
that occurred after the condensed balance sheet date up to the date that the condensed financial statements were issued. Based on this
review, other than as described below, the Company determined no events have occurred that would require adjustments to the disclosures
in the condensed financial statements.
On July 23, 2024, the Company drew additional
Extension Funds, as approved by unanimous extension committee resolution, dated July 22, 2024, pursuant to the Extension Note, which Extension
Funds the Company deposited into the Trust Account for its public shareholders. This deposit enabled the Company to approve the Sixth
2024 Extension. The Sixth 2024 Extension was the sixth of eleven one-month extensions permitted under the Company’s amended and
restated memorandum and articles of association and provides the Company with additional time to complete its initial Business Combination.
The note does not bear interest and matures upon closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination. In the event that the Company
does not consummate a Business Combination, the note will be repaid only from amounts remaining outside of the Trust Account, if any.

Condition and Results of Operations.
References to the “Company,” “Constellation
Acquisition Corp I,” “our,” “us” or “we” refer to Constellation Acquisition Corp I. The following
discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited
interim condensed financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly
Report”). Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report includes forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. We have based
these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are

contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other SEC filings.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in Cayman
Islands on November 20, 2020. We were formed for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination.
Our sponsor is Constellation Sponsor LP, a Delaware
limited partnership. The registration statement for the Initial Public Offering was declared effective on January 26, 2021. On January
29, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 31,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $310.0 million,
and incurring offering costs of $17,586,741 million, inclusive of $10,850,000 million in deferred underwriting commissions. On January
26, 2023, our Old Sponsor underwent a reorganization pursuant to which the limited partners of our Old Sponsor transferred all of their
limited partnership interests to the Sponsor. On January 26, 2023, our Old Sponsor was liquidated pursuant to applicable law by the retirement
of the general partner of our Old Sponsor (the second to last partner of our Sponsor) and all Securities held by our Old Sponsor were
distributed by operation of law to its sole remaining limited partner, the Sponsor, following which, on January 30, 2023, control of the
Old Sponsor was transferred to affiliates of Antarctica Capital Partners, LLC, including Antarctica Endurance Manager, LLC the general
partner of the Sponsor.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial
Public Offering, we consummated the private placement of 5,466,667 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement
Warrant to our Old Sponsor, which are now held by our Sponsor, generating gross proceeds to us of $8.2 million.
Since the closing of the Initial Public Offering
and the Private Placement, $310.00 million ($10.00 per unit) of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain of the proceeds
of the Private Placement was placed in the Trust Account and was invested in permitted United States “government securities”
within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money
market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act that invest only in direct U.S. government
treasury obligations. On January 27, 2023, we liquidated the U.S. government treasury obligations or money market funds held in the Trust
Account.
Our 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 Placement Warrants, although
substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination.
We will only have until the Termination Date to
complete an initial Business Combination. If we do not complete a Business Combination by the Termination Date, we will (i) cease all
operations except for the purposes of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter,
redeem the Public Shares for a per share pro rata portion of the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to us to fund
our working capital requirements (less taxes payable) and (iii) as promptly as possible following such redemption, dissolve and liquidate
the balance of our net assets to our remaining shareholders, as part of our plan of dissolution and liquidation. Our Sponsor and initial
shareholders entered into the Letter Agreement with us, pursuant to which they have waived their rights to participate in any redemption
with respect to their Founder Shares; however, if the initial shareholders or any of our officers, directors or affiliates acquire ordinary
shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to a pro rata share of the Trust Account upon our redemption or
liquidation in the event we do not complete a Business Combination within the required time period. In the event of such distribution,
it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including the Trust Account assets)
will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per unit in the Initial Public Offering.
On January 27, 2023, we held an extraordinary
general meeting of shareholders to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend the
date by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination from January 29, 2023 to April 29, 2023 and to allow the Company, without
another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the 2023 Termination Date to consummate a Business Combination on a monthly basis for up
to nine times by an additional one month each time after the 2023 Articles Extension Date, by resolution of the Board if requested by
the Sponsor, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until January 29, 2024, or a total of
up to twelve months after the 2023 Termination Date, unless the closing of the Company’s Business Combination shall have occurred
prior to such date. The shareholders of the Company approved the 2023 Extension Amendment Proposal at the Extension Meeting and on January
31, 2023, the Company filed the 2023 Articles Amendment with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands.
In connection with the vote at the Extension Meeting,
the holders of 26,506,157 Class A ordinary shares of the Company properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for an aggregate
price of approximately $10.167 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $269,485,746. After the satisfaction of
such redemptions, the balance in our Trust Account was approximately $46,138,503. On February 13, 2023, a total of $46,600,678.12 (the
remaining trust balance), was placed in a U.S.-based trust account at Citibank, N.A., maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust
Company, acting as trustee.
In connection with the closing of the transactions
contemplated by the Investment Agreement, on January 26, 2023, the Old Sponsor underwent a reorganization pursuant to which the limited
partners of the Old Sponsor transferred all of their limited partnership interests to the Sponsor. On January 26, 2023, the Old Sponsor
was liquidated pursuant to applicable law by the retirement of the general partner of the Old Sponsor (the second to last partner of the
Sponsor) and all Securities held by the Old Sponsor were distributed by operation of law to its sole remaining limited partner, the Sponsor,
following which, on January 30, 2023, control of the Old Sponsor was transferred to affiliates of Antarctica Capital Partners, LLC.
On December 20, 2023, the Board approved the
voluntary delisting of its Class A ordinary shares, Public Warrants and Units from the NYSE, and on January 16, 2024, the Company began
trading its Class A ordinary shares and Units on OTCQX® Best Market under the symbols “CSTAF” and “CSTUF,”
respectively, and its Public Warrants on the OTCQB® Venture Market under the symbol “CSTWF.”
On January 29, 2024, the Company held the Shareholder
Meeting (A) to amend, by way of special resolution, the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to
extend the Termination Date by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination from January 29, 2024 to February 29, 2024 and
to allow the Company, without another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date to consummate a Business Combination on
a monthly basis for up to eleven times by an additional one month each time after the 2024 Articles Extension Date, by resolution of the
directors, if requested by the Sponsor, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until January
29, 2025, or a total of up to twelve months after the 2024 Original Termination Date, unless the closing of a Business Combination shall
have occurred prior thereto; and (B) to amend, by way of special resolution, the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles
of association to eliminate from the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association the limitation that the Company may not
redeem Class A ordinary shares to the extent that such redemption would result in the Company having net tangible assets (as determined
in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), of less than $5,000,001 in order to allow the
Company to redeem Public Shares irrespective of whether such redemption would exceed the Redemption Limitation. The shareholders of the
Company approved the 2024 Extension Amendment Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal at the Shareholder Meeting and
on January 30, 2024, the Company filed the 2024 Articles Amendment with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands.
In connection with that vote to approve the 2024
Extension Amendment Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal, the holders of 2,126,159 Class A ordinary shares properly
exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $11.13 per share, for an aggregate redemption
amount of approximately $23,671,533. After the satisfaction of such redemptions and receipt of the initial deposit of $55,000 to the Trust
account, the balance in our Trust Account was approximately $26,415,545.
On January 30, 2024, the Sponsor converted an
aggregate of 7,600,000 Class B ordinary shares into Public Shares on a one-for-one basis. The Sponsor waived any right to receive funds
from the Trust Account with respect to the Public Shares received upon such conversion and acknowledged that such shares will be subject
to all of the restrictions applicable to the original Class B ordinary shares under the terms of the Letter Agreement.
During 2024, the Board of the Company approved
the First 2024 Extension on February 29, 2024, and the extension committee of the Board approved the Second 2024 Extension, Third 2024
Extension, Fourth 2024 Extension, Fifth 2024 Extension and Sixth 2024 Extension on March 28, 2024, April 29, 2024, May 29, 2024, June
28, 2024 and July 23, 2024, respectively, resulting in a new Termination Date of August 29, 2024, and the Company drew an aggregate of
$330,000 of Extension Funds pursuant to the 2024 Note. The 2024 Note does not bear interest and matures upon closing of the Company’s
initial Business Combination. In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination, the 2024 Note will be repaid only
from amounts remaining outside of the Trust Account, if any.
Liquidity and Going Concern Consideration
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $7,133 in
its operating bank account, and a working capital deficit of $7,866,115, net of the convertible promissory note – related party.
Convertible promissory note - related party amounting to $3,181,000 is not expected to be settled out of the current assets.
Our liquidity needs to date have been satisfied
through loans from the Sponsor to cover for certain operating expenses. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection
with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated
to, provide the Company working capital loans.
As of June 30, 2024, there was approximately $4,143,208
of borrowings outstanding and $180,000 of related admin fees owed to the Sponsor under the following promissory notes:

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company issued a number of unsecured promissory notes totaling $258,780 to certain executive officers and affiliates of the Company. The proceeds of the 2022 Notes was used for general working capital purposes. The 2022 Notes bear no interest and is payable in full upon the earlier to occur of (i) the Termination Date or (ii) the consummation of the Company’s Business Combination. Failure to pay the principals within five business days of the date specified above or the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy action shall be deemed an event of default, in which case the 2022 Notes may be accelerated.

A failure to pay the principal within five business days of the date specified above or the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy action shall be deemed an event of default, in which case the 2023 Note may be accelerated. At the election of the Sponsor, all or a portion of the unpaid principal amount of the 2023 Note may be converted into warrants of the Company, at a price of $1.50 per warrant, each warrant exercisable for one Class A ordinary share of the Company. The warrants shall be identical to the Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor at the time of the Company’s IPO. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $230,000 is outstanding under this 2023 Note. |

The proceeds of the Extension Note was deposited in the Trust Account. At the election of the payee, $1,270,000 of the total principal amount of the Extension Note may be converted, in whole or in part, at the option of the lender into warrants of the Company at a price of $1.50 per warrant, which warrants will be identical to the Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor at the time of the IPO of the Company. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $2,951,000 and $2,901,000 is outstanding under this Extension Note. |
|
● |
On January 30, 2024, the Company issued the 2024 Note in the amount of $1,660,000 to the Sponsor. The 2024 Note does not bear interest and matures upon closing of the Business Combination. In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination, the 2024 Note will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven. As of June 30, 2024, $735,00 is outstanding under the 2024 Note. |
On January 30, 2024, the Company issued an unsecured
promissory noted in the principal amount of $1,660,000 to the Sponsor. The 2024 Note does not bear interest and matures upon closing of
the Business Combination. In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination, the 2024 Note will be repaid only
from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven.
We cannot provide any assurance that new financing
along the lines detailed above will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. Further, we have until the Termination
Date to consummate a Business Combination, but we cannot provide assurance that we will be able to consummate a Business Combination by
that date. If a Business Combination is not consummated by the required date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASU 2014-15, “Disclosures of
Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation
raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern until the earlier of the consummation of the
Business Combination or January 29, 2025, the date the Company is required to liquidate. These financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the
Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
We intend to complete our Business Combination
before the mandatory liquidation date; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to consummate any Business Combination
by the Termination Date. If the Company’s estimates 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, the Company may have insufficient funds available
to operate its business prior to a Business Combination. Moreover, the Company may need to obtain additional financing either to complete
a Business Combination or because it becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of its Public Shares upon completion of a Business
Combination, in which case the Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.
Results of Operations
Our entire activity from inception through June
30, 2024 related to our formation, the preparation for the Initial Public Offering, and since the closing of the Initial Public Offering,
the search for a prospective Business Combination. We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. We will
not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of
interest income and dividends on cash and investments held in the Trust Account. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of
being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we had
a net income of approximately $205,000, which included interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $306,000 and a gain
from the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $125,000, offset by a loss from operations of $226,000.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we had
a net loss of approximately $289,000, which included a loss from operations of $1.0 million, offset by interest earned on investments
held in the Trust Account of $695,000 and a gain from the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $30,000.
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we had
a net income of approximately $0.8 million, which included interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $0.5 million and
a gain from the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $0.6 million, offset by a loss from operations of $0.3 million.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we had
a net loss of approximately $0.2 million, which included an interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $1.9 million,
offset by loss from operations of $1.6 million and a loss from the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $0.5 million.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt obligations,
capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or long-term liabilities.
Registration Rights
The initial shareholders and holders of the Private
Placement Warrants will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The initial shareholders and holders
of the Private Placement Warrants will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that register
such securities for sale under the Securities Act. In addition, these holders will have “piggy-back” registration rights to
include their securities in other registration statements filed by us. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing
of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
We paid an underwriting discount of 2% of the
per Unit offering price, or approximately $6,200,000 in the aggregate at the closing of the Initial Public Offering and agreed to pay
Deferred Underwriting Fees of 3.5% of the gross offering proceeds, or approximately $10,850,000 in Deferred Underwriting Fees. The Deferred
Underwriting Fees will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event the Company completes
its Business Combination.
Critical Accounting Estimates
This management’s discussion and analysis
of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with
GAAP. The preparation of these unaudited condensed financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our unaudited condensed
financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to fair value of financial
instruments and accrued expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that
we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. One of the more significant accounting estimates included
in these unaudited condensed financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liability. Such estimates may
be subject to change as more current information becomes available and, accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2024, we did not have any off-balance
sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
Inflation
We do not believe that inflation had a material
impact on our business, revenues or operating results during the period presented.
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” and
under the JOBS Act 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, the financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as
of public company effective dates.
Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating
the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth
in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among
other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to
Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank
Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information
about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related
items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median
employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our 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.
On January 27, 2023, we liquidated the U.S. government
treasury obligations or money market funds held in the Trust Account. The funds in the Trust Account will be maintained in cash in an
interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank until the earlier of our initial Business Combination or our liquidation. Interest on
such deposit account is currently approximately 2.5% - 3.0% per anum, but such deposit account carries a variable rate, and we cannot
assure you that such rate will not decrease or increase significantly.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure 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 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, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation
of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation
of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024, as such term is
defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal
financial and accounting officer have concluded that during the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our disclosure controls and procedures
were effective. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report present fairly in all
material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period 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 quarter ended June 30, 2024 covered by this Quarterly Report that has materially affected,
or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

in this Quarterly Report as well as those risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report filed with the SEC. Any of these factors
could result in a 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. We may disclose changes to such risk
factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
