Note 6—Commitments & Contingencies‌

Registration and Shareholder Rights‌

The holders of the (i) Founder Shares, which were issued in a private placement prior to the closing of the IPO and (ii) Private Placement Warrants, which will be issued in a private placement simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, and the Class A ordinary shares underlying such Private Placement Warrants will have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of the Company’s securities held by them pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registers such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of an initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.‌

Underwriter Agreement‌

The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option from the date of the IPO to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 units to cover over-allotments, if any. On February 1, 2022, the underwriter exercised its over-allotment option in part to purchase 1,930,000 Units, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $19,300,000. The underwriter forfeited the remaining portion of the over-allotment option.‌

On January 24, 2022 and February 1, 2022, the Company paid cash underwriting commissions of $2,020,000 and $386,000, respectively.‌

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting commission of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $7,675,500, which will be paid from the funds held in the Trust Account upon completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.‌

On June 26, 2023, the Company and the underwriter entered into a fee reduction agreement (the “Fee Reduction Agreement”), pursuant to which the underwriter agreed to waive $4,675,500 of the deferred underwriter commission. Of the remaining deferred underwriter commission of $3,000,000, the parties agreed that, upon the consummation of an initial Business Combination, (i) $ 1,000,000 shall be payable to underwriter in cash and (ii) 200,000 shares (with a nominal value of $10.00 per share, for an aggregate nominal value of $2,000,000) of either (1) Class A Ordinary Shares or (2) founder shares, shall be issued to the underwriter (with no guarantee following such issuance of the market value of such shares).

The Company accounted for the waived amount of $4,675,500 as a direct reversal of the original deferred underwriting fee transaction. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded $126,472 as gain from debt forgiven and charged the remaining of $4,549,028 of such waived deferred underwriting commission into statement of equity. As a result, the balance of deferred underwriting commissions was $3,000,000 as of December 31, 2023.

Forward Purchase Agreement‌

The Company entered into forward purchase agreements with certain forward purchasers, pursuant to which the forward purchasers intend to purchase an aggregate of 8,000,000 of forward purchase units, consisting of one Class A ordinary share and one-quarter of one redeemable warrant to purchase one Class A ordinary share for a purchase price of $10.00 per forward purchase unit, or an aggregate amount of $80,000,000, in a private placement to close concurrently with the closing of a Business Combination.‌

The obligations under the forward purchase agreements will not depend on whether any Class A ordinary shares are redeemed by the Public Shareholders. The forward purchase shares will be identical to the shares of Class A ordinary stock included in the Units being sold in the IPO, except that they will be subject to transfer restrictions and registration rights. The forward purchase warrants will have the same terms as the Public Warrants.‌

The forward purchasers may purchase less than 8,000,000 forward purchase units in accordance with the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreements. In addition, the forward purchasers’ commitment under the forward purchase‌ agreements will be subject to their rights to terminate their commitment at any time before we enter into a definitive agreement regarding our initial business combination.‌

Anchor Investments‌

As of December 31, 2023, 13 qualified institutional buyers or institutional accredited investors who are not affiliated with the Sponsor or any member of the Company’s management (the “Anchor Investors”) have purchased an aggregate of 20,000,000 units in the IPO. At the closing of the IPO, each of the Anchor Investors were entitled to purchase from the Sponsor a number of Founder Shares equal to 10% of the units each Anchor Investor is purchasing in the IPO, at a purchase price of approximately $0.01 per share, generating total proceeds of $14,273, deposited into the Company’s operating bank account.‌

However, two Anchor Investors have agreed that if such Anchor Investor owns less than the number of Class A ordinary shares it owns immediately after the IPO (i) at the time of any shareholder vote with respect to the initial Business Combination or (ii) on the business day immediately prior to the consummation of the initial business Combination, it will sell back to the Sponsor at approximately $0.01 per share the pro rata portion of the Founder Shares it purchased from the Sponsor. However, each such Anchor Investor will be entitled to keep 50% of the Founder Shares it originally purchased from the Sponsor in any event. Such founder shares purchased by such anchor investor will not be subject to any requirements to sell them back to the Sponsor.‌

The Anchor Investors have agreed to vote any Founder Shares held by them in favor of the initial Business Combination or to grant voting proxy to the Sponsor to vote any Founder Shares held by it on its behalf. However, because the Anchor Investors are not obligated to continue owning any public shares following the closing and are not obligated to vote any public shares in favor of the initial Business Combination, the Company cannot assure you that any of these Anchor Investors will be shareholders at the time the Company’s shareholders vote on the initial Business Combination, and, if they are shareholders, the Company cannot assure you as to how such Anchor Investors will vote on any Business Combination.‌
