NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Prospector Capital Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on September 18, 2020. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (a “Business Combination”).
The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from September 18, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generates 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 Initial Public Offering.

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. The stock

value equal to at least
The Company will provide the holders of the public
shares (the “Public Shareholders” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the
“Public Shares”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the Business
Combination, either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of
a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer
will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares, equal to
the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business
Combination (initially $

a Business Combination. On January 5, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting in lieu of the annual general meeting of
shareholders. In this meeting the shareholders approved amendments to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association
to extend the date by which the Company must complete a Business Combination from January 12, 2023 to December 31, 2023 (the “Combination
Period”). In connection with this meeting, shareholders holding an aggregate of

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

Going Concern
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has until December 31, 2023 to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. Additionally, the Company may not have sufficient liquidity to fund the working capital needs of the Company through the Company’s liquidation date or one year from the issuance of these financial statements. Management intends to complete a Business Combination to alleviate any potential liquidity issues presented to the Company in its search to complete a Business Combination. If a Business Combination is not consummated by the liquidation date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after December 31, 2023. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate any Business Combination by December 31, 2023.
NOTE 2. RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In connection with the preparation of the Company’s condensed financial statements as of and for the period ended September 30, 2023, management identified an error in its previously filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023 (the “Affected Quarterly Periods”). The Company determined that based on its review of its accounting treatment for Public and Private Placement Warrants (together, the “Warrants”) under ASC 815, as a result of the redemptions that occurred on January 24, 2023 in connection with the Company’s extraordinary general meeting to extend the date by which it must consummate an initial business combination, its accounting for the Warrants was incorrectly presented as part of equity and the Warrants should be instead presented as liabilities, with changes in value of such liabilities reported in earnings. The Company’s management determined that such redemptions resulted in the possibility for the tender offer provision contained in Section 4.4 of the warrant agreement, dated as of January 7, 2021, between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Warrant Agreement”), to be triggered without the requirement that a change in control also be triggered, which resulted in the determination that the Warrants no longer qualify for equity treatment.

In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, “Materiality,” and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements”; the Company evaluated the changes and has determined that the related impact was material to previously presented financial statements and related omitted disclosures of the Affected Quarterly Periods. Therefore, the Company concluded that the Affected Quarterly Periods should be restated. As such, the Company is reporting these restatements to the Affected Quarterly Period in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The previously presented Affected Quarterly Periods should no longer be relied upon.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with SEC on March 31, 2023. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or for any future periods.

Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the condensed financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Offering Costs
Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting
and other expenses incurred through the Initial Public Offering that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs
were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared
to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with the Class A ordinary shares issued were initially charged to temporary equity
and then accreted to ordinary shares subject to redemption upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs amounting
to $
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”). Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at redemption value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s condensed balance sheets.
The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital, to the extent available, and accumulated deficit.

Warrants
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The Company accounts for the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Previously, the Private Placement Warrants did not meet the criteria for equity treatment and were recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classified the Private Placement Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusted the Private Placement Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability was subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value was recognized in the condensed statements of operations. The Private Placement Warrants for periods where no observable traded price was available were valued using a modified Black-Scholes model. On June 30, 2021, the Company executed an agreement whereby the holders of the private warrants will not transfer their warrants to non-affiliated holders. Beginning June 30, 2021 and thereafter, the private warrants were considered to be indexed to the Company’s ordinary shares in the manner contemplated by ASC Section 815-40-15 and therefore qualify for equity treatment. In connection with the preparation of the condensed financial statements of the Company as of and for the period ended September 30, 2023, the Company’s management identified an error in its condensed financial statements for the periods ending March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023. The Company determined that, based on its review of its accounting treatment under ASC 815 of the Warrants, as a result of the January 24, 2023 redemptions in connection with the Company’s extraordinary general meeting to extend the date by which it must consummate an initial business combination, its accounting for the Warrants was incorrectly presented as part of equity and the Warrants should be instead presented as liabilities, with changes in value of such liabilities reported in earnings. The Company’s management determined that such redemptions resulted in the possibility for the tender offer provision contained in Section 4.4 of the Warrant Agreement, to be triggered without the requirement that a change in control also be triggered, which resulted in the determination that the Warrants no longer qualify for equity treatment.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company’s management does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the periods presented.
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. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company has been subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.
Net Income (Loss) per Ordinary Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A ordinary shares is excluded from income (loss) per ordinary share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
The calculation of diluted income (loss) per ordinary
share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, and (ii) the private placement
since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. The warrants are exercisable to purchase

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company utilizes ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement” to determine the relative fair value of financial instruments other than derivate financial instruments. 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). Carrying values for prepaid, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value, primarily due to their short-term nature.
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: | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. |
Level 2: | Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. |
Level 3: | Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. |

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed financial statements.

Risks and Uncertainties
Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and current global conflicts and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that these events 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.
Registration Rights
Pursuant to a registration and shareholders rights agreement entered into on January 7, 2021, the holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans or Convertible Promissory Note (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans or Convertible Promissory Note) will have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of the securities held by them. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination. The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidating 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.

will equal, in the aggregate,
NOTE 8. WARRANTS
Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination and (b) one year from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Public Warrants will expire
years from the completion of a 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, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue 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.
The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days, after the closing of a Business Combination, it will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the sixtieth (60th) business day after the closing of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if our Class A ordinary shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elect, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company do not so elect, the Company will use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.
Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00. Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may call the warrants for redemption (except as described with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):
● | in whole and not in part; | |
● | at a price of $0.01 per warrant; | |
● | upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and | |
● | if, and only if, the 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 three business days before the Company sends to the notice of redemption to the warrant holders (the “Reference Value”). |

PROSPECTOR CAPITAL CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2023
(Unaudited)
If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.
Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00. Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:
● | in whole and not in part; | |
● | at $0.10 per warrant | |
● | upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares based on the redemption date and the fair market value of the Class A ordinary shares except as otherwise described below; | |
● | if, and only if, the Reference Value equals or exceeds $10.00 per Public Share (as adjusted) for any 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending three trading days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and | |
● | if the Reference Value is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted), the Private Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants, as described above. |
If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, as described above, its management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the Warrant Agreement. The exercise price and number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except as described below, the Public Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of ordinary shares at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public Warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Public Warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their Public Warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such Public Warrants. Accordingly, the Public Warrants may expire worthless.
The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable, except as described above, so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.
On June 30, 2021, the Company executed an agreement whereby the holders of the private warrants will not transfer their warrants to non-affiliated holders. The private warrants were considered to be indexed to the Company’s ordinary shares in the manner contemplated by ASC Section 815-40-15. Therefore, the Public and Private Placement Warrants were accounted for as equity in the condensed balance sheets. The Company determined that, based on its review of its accounting treatment under ASC 815 of the Warrants, as a result of the January 24, 2023 redemptions in connection with the Company’s extraordinary general meeting to extend the date by which it must consummate an initial business combination, its accounting for the Warrants was incorrectly presented as part of equity for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, and the Warrants should be instead presented as liabilities, with changes in value of such liabilities reported in earnings. The Company’s management determined that such redemptions resulted in the possibility for the tender offer provision contained in Section 4.4 of the Warrant Agreement, to be triggered without the requirement that a change in control also be triggered, which resulted in the determination that the Warrants no longer qualify for equity treatment.

The Company determined that, based on its review of its accounting treatment under ASC 815 of the Warrants, as a result of the January 24, 2023 redemptions in connection with the Company’s extraordinary general meeting to extend the date by which it must consummate an initial business combination, its accounting for the Warrants was incorrectly presented as part of equity and the Warrants should be instead presented as liabilities, with changes in value of such liabilities reported in earnings.

The Public Warrants have limited trading activity in the open and observable market as of the measurement date, as such they are classified as Level 2. When the observable market quote under the ticker PRSRW is active, then Public Warrants are classified as Level 1. The Private Placement Warrants are classified as Level 2 due to the use of an observable market quote for a similar asset in an active market.

Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on September 18, 2020 formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (a “Business Combination”). We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash derived from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, shares and debt.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.
Trust Agreement Amendment
On September 15, 2023, we entered into an amendment (the “Trust Agreement Amendment”) to the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of January 7, 2021 with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“CST”), relating to the Company’s trust account (the “Trust Account”) to permit CST, as trustee, to effectuate our instructions to liquidate the U.S. government securities or money market funds previously held in the Trust Account and to subsequently hold such funds in an interest-bearing demand deposit bank account. Our intention to provide such instructions to CST was previously disclosed in our definitive proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on December 13, 2022.
Proposed Business Combination
Business Combination Agreement
On June 12, 2023, we entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “BCA” and such transactions contemplated by the BCA, the “Business Combination”) with LeddarTech Inc., a corporation existing under the laws of Canada (“LeddarTech”), and LeddarTech Holdings Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of Canada and a wholly owned subsidiary of LeddarTech (“Newco”), pursuant to which, we will continue as a corporation existing under the laws of Canada (the “Continuance” and the Company as so continued, “Prospector Canada”), and, immediately following the Continuance, Prospector Canada and Newco will amalgamate (the “Prospector Amalgamation” and Prospector Canada and Newco as so amalgamated, “Amalco”).
20
In connection with the closing of the proposed Business Combination (the “Closing”), the preferred shares of LeddarTech will convert into common shares of LeddarTech and, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in a plan of arrangement, Amalco will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of LeddarTech from LeddarTech’s shareholders in exchange for common shares of Amalco having an aggregate equity value of $200 million (valued at $10.00 per share) plus an amount equal to the aggregate exercise price of LeddarTech’s outstanding “in the money” options immediately prior to the Prospector Amalgamation plus additional Amalco “earnout” shares (the “Equity Value”). LeddarTech and Amalco will subsequently amalgamate (LeddarTech and Amalco as so amalgamated, the “Surviving Company”).
Amendment to Business Combination Agreement
On September 25, 2023, we entered into the first amendment to the BCA (the “BCA Amendment”), which:
● | clarifies that the equity awards with respect to shares of the Surviving Company (the “Rollover Equity Awards”) shall be subject to the same terms and conditions, other than vesting provisions, that applied to the corresponding outstanding options to purchase Class M shares of LeddarTech (the “Company M-Option”) immediately prior to the time the Plan of Arrangement is effective (the “Arrangement Effective Time”), with each Rollover Equity Award vesting after a 6-month period following the issuance thereof. |
● | clarifies that for Canadian income tax purposes, the parties intend that the exchange of LeddarTech shares for Amalco shares (the “Share Exchange”) will occur on a tax deferred basis for certain Canadian resident shareholders who make a joint tax election with Amalco under subsections 85(1) or (2) of the Tax Act. |
● | provides that a shareholder of LeddarTech common shares (a “Company Common Shareholder”) that is (a) a resident of Canada for purposes of the Tax Act and not exempt from tax under Part I of the Tax Act, or (b) a partnership, any member of which is a resident of Canada for purposes of the Tax Act and not exempt from tax under Part I of the Tax Act (an “Eligible Holder”) who receives the aggregate number of common shares of Amalco equal to (a) the Equity Value divided by (b) $10.00 (the “Exchange Consideration”) shall be entitled to make joint tax elections with Amalco under subsections 85(1) or (2) of the Tax Act or any equivalent provincial legislation with respect to the Share Exchange, subject to and in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement, and clarifies that Amalco will not be responsible for any taxes, interest or penalties resulting from the failure by a former Company Common Shareholder to properly complete or file the election forms in the form and manner within the time prescribed by the Tax Act (or any applicable provincial legislation). |
● | redefines “Option Pool” to mean five million (5,000,000) common shares of the Surviving Company (the “Surviving Company Common Shares”) reserved for grant under the Surviving Company Equity Incentive Plan. |
Redemption Offer
We will be providing the holders of our Class A ordinary shares, the right to redeem all or a portion of the Class A ordinary shares in connection with the Business Combination (the “Prospector Shareholder Redemption”).
We will issue at the Closing, as a dividend, following the Prospector Shareholder Redemption and prior to the Continuance, to each holder of the Class A ordinary shares that elects not to participate in the redemption one additional Class A ordinary share for each non-redeemed Prospector Class A Share held by such Non- Redeeming Shareholder.
Following the Prospector Shareholder Redemption but prior to the Prospector Share Issuance, the Prospector Class A Shares and the warrants comprising each issued and outstanding unit of Prospector immediately prior to the Prospector Share Issuance shall be automatically separated.
Financing
Prior to the execution of the BCA, LeddarTech entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with certain investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Investors agreed to purchase convertible notes of LeddarTech and Newco in an aggregate principal amount of at least $43,000,000 (the “Financing”). FS LT Holdings LP (“FS Investors”), an affiliate of the Sponsor, and the Sponsor are participants in the Financing and are investing $17,025,000 in the Financing. Derek Aberle, our Chief Executive Officer, is investing $210,000 in the Financing. Existing shareholders of LeddarTech and their affiliates (including the Sponsor) have agreed to purchase all of the securities issued in the Financing.
The issuance of the first tranche (“Tranche A”) of the Financing occurred on June 13, 2023 (with one Investor funding on June 14, 2023) and was contingent upon, among other things, the execution of the BCA. The Subscription Agreement provides that each Tranche A Investor received (a) a secured convertible note issued by LeddarTech in a principal amount equal to such Investor’s Tranche A investment and convertible into Class D-1 preferred shares of LeddarTech before the Closing or if the Closing does not occur (the “Class D-1 Preferred Shares”) or into common shares of the Surviving Company after the Closing, as its successor, as provided in the Subscription Agreement, and (b) a warrant certificate entitling such Investor to purchase Class D-1 Preferred Shares at an exercise price of $0.01 per share at any time prior to the date that is fourteen calendar days after the conditions of LeddarTech and the Investors to consummate the Tranche A transaction have been met, representing 2.75 Class D-1 Preferred Shares for each $100.00 of the Tranche A investment paid by such Investor under the Subscription Agreement.
21
The issuance of the second tranche (“Tranche B”) of the Financing is contingent upon, among other things, the substantially concurrent consummation of the Business Combination. The Subscription Agreement provides that each Tranche B Investor will receive a secured convertible note issued by LeddarTech in a principal amount equal to such Investor’s Tranche B investment and convertible into common shares of the Surviving Company, at an initial conversion price of $10.00 per share as provided in the Subscription Agreement.
Amendment to Financing and Subscription Agreement
On October 30, 2023, LeddarTech and certain of the Investors in the Tranche B Notes (the “Tranche B-1 Investors”) entered into an amendment to the Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement Amendment”).
Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement Amendment, the Tranche B-1 Investors agreed to accelerate the timing of funding of the purchase of approximately $4.1 million of the Tranche B Notes (the “Tranche B-1 Notes”) to October 31, 2023, with the remaining $17.9 million of the Tranche B Notes (the “Tranche B-2 Notes”) to be issued upon completion of the Business Combination. The Tranche B-1 Investors received and exercised warrants to purchase approximately 24,000 Class D-1 Preferred Shares (0.6 Class D-1 Preferred Shares per $100 principal amount of Tranche B-1 Notes). No issuance of warrants in respect of the Tranche B Notes was initially contemplated by the Subscription Agreement prior to the Subscription Agreement Amendment and no warrants will be issued in connection with the issuance of the Tranche B-2 Notes.
Additionally, in connection with the amended Financing terms, LeddarTech entered into an amending agreement (the “Desjardins Amendment”) with respect to its existing credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with Desjardins Capital Management Inc. (“Desjardins”). The Credit Facility required LeddarTech to maintain a minimum cash balance of (i) CAD$2.5 million through the completion of the Business Combination, (ii) CAD$10.0 million from the completion of the Business Combination through October 31, 2024, (iii) CAD$7.5 million from November 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024, (iv) CAD$5.0 million from January 1, 2025 through September 30, 2025, and (v) CAD$3.5 million at all times thereafter. Under the Credit Facility, as amended by the Desjardins Amendment, LeddarTech is now required to maintain a minimum cash balance of (i) CAD$1.5 million through the completion of the Business Combination, and (ii) CAD$5.0 million thereafter. The Desjardins Amendment also lowered the applicable interest rate under the Credit Facility from Canadian prime rate + 9.0% to Canadian prime rate + 4.0%, and reduced certain pre-payment obligations with respect to the Financing and the Business Combination. The Desjardins Amendment also provides that LeddarTech will issue to Desjardins warrants that ultimately will entitle Desjardins to purchase 250,000 common shares of Newco (upon closing of the Business Combination).
Sponsor Letter Agreement
Concurrently with the execution of the BCA, the Sponsor entered into a Sponsor Letter Agreement (the “Sponsor Letter Agreement”) with us, LeddarTech, FS Investors and Newco, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to, among other things, (i) vote or cause to be voted (whether in person, by proxy or by action by written consents, as applicable) all of its Class B ordinary shares in favor of the Business Combination; (ii) be bound by certain other covenants and agreements related to the Business Combination and (iii) waive the anti-dilution protection with respect to the Class B ordinary shares (whether resulting from the Financing or otherwise), in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Sponsor Letter Agreement.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from September 18, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2023 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on investments held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.
For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we had a net income of $372,815, which consists of interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $288,519 and change in fair value of warrant liability of $1,120,000, offset by operating costs of $1,035,704.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we had a net loss of $3,969,382, which consists of operating costs of $5,876,943, offset by interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $1,587,561 and change in fair value of warrant liability of $320,000.
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we had a net income of $1,282,848, which consists of interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $1,479,369, offset by operating costs of $196,521.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had a net income of $1,268,223, which consists of interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $1,958,356, offset by operating costs of $690,133.
22
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On January 12, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 32,500,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $325,000,000 which is described in Note 4. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 500,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $750,000.
Following the Initial Public Offering, the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $325,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $18,391,778 in transaction costs, including $6,500,000 of underwriting fees, $11,375,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $516,778 of other costs. On June 30, 2022, the underwriter waived its $11,375,000 deferred underwriting fee which reduce the total offering cost incurred.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, cash used in operating activities was $1,073,903. Net loss of $3,969,382 was affected by interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $1,587,561 and change in fair value of warrant liability of $320,000. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $4,803,040 of cash for operating activities.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $764,030. Net income of $1,268,223 was affected by interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $1,958,356. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $73,897 of cash for operating activities.
At September 30, 2023, we had investments held in the Trust Account of $23,750,947 (including $6,371,294 of interest income) consisting of money market funds, which primarily invest in U.S. Treasury Bills with a maturity of 185 days or less. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account, to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
At September 30, 2023, we had cash of $26,121. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant, at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.
Going Concern
We have until December 31, 2023 to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that we will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. We may not have sufficient liquidity to fund the working capital needs of the Company through our liquidation date or one year from the issuance of these financial statements. We have determined that the liquidity condition and the mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after December 31, 2023.
23
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2023. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative services. We began incurring these fees on January 7, 2021 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and our liquidation.
The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $11,375,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. On June 30, 2022, the underwriter waived its $11,375,000 deferred underwriting fee which is no longer payable.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies
The preparation of condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the 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 financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Warrants
We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. We evaluates all of our financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”) and the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). We account for the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants (together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Previously, the Private Placement Warrants did not meet the criteria for equity treatment and were recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, we classified the Private Placement Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusted the Private Placement Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability was subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value was recognized in our statements of operations. The Private Placement Warrants for periods where no observable traded price was available were valued using a Modified Black-Scholes model. On June 30, 2021, we executed an agreement whereby the holders of the Private Placement Warrants will not transfer their warrants to non-affiliated holders. The Private Placement Warrants were then considered to be indexed to the Company’s ordinary shares in the manner contemplated by ASC Section 815-40-15 and therefore qualify for equity treatment.
In connection with the preparation of the Company’s condensed financial statements as of and for the period ended September 30, 2023, management identified an error in its March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023 condensed financial statements. The Company determined that based on its review of its accounting treatment for Public and Private Placement Warrants under ASC 815, as a result of the redemptions that occurred on January 24, 2023 in connection with the Company’s extraordinary general meeting to extend the date by which it must consummate an initial business combination, its accounting for the Warrants was incorrectly presented as part of equity and the Warrants should be instead presented as liabilities, with changes in value of such liabilities reported in earnings.. The Company’s management determined that such redemptions resulted in the possibility for the tender offer provision contained in Section 4.4 of the Warrant Agreement, to be triggered without the requirement that a change in control also be triggered, which resulted in the determination that the Warrants no longer qualify for equity treatment.
24
Derivative Financial Instruments
We evaluate our financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our ordinary shares subject to possible conversion in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. Our ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of our condensed balance sheets.
Net Income (Loss) Per Ordinary Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A ordinary shares is excluded from income (loss) per ordinary share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
The calculation of diluted income (loss) per ordinary share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, and (ii) the private placement since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. The warrants are exercisable to purchase 16,500,000 Class A ordinary shares in the aggregate. At September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share is the same as basic net income (loss) per ordinary share for the periods presented.
Recent Accounting Standards
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our condensed financial statements.
25
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2023. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Specifically, the Company’s management has concluded that our control around the interpretation and accounting for extinguishment of a significant contingent obligation was not effectively designed or maintained as well as the accounting for warrants resulting in restatement of the March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023 financial statements. In light of these material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.
Remediation of a Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We recognize the importance of the control environment as it sets the overall tone for the Company and is the foundation for all other components of internal control. Consequently, we designed and implemented remediation measures to address the material weakness previously identified and enhance our internal control over financial reporting. In light of the material weakness, we enhanced our processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements to better evaluate and understand the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to our condensed financial statements, including providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, except as discussed above, (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
None
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report are any of the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. Other than the below, as of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023.
We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If we are unable to develop and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results in a timely manner, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.
As described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting; specifically, that our control around the interpretation and accounting for extinguishment of a significant contingent obligation was not effectively designed or maintained in addition to the accounting for warrants being incorrectly presented as part of equity rather than as liabilities, resulting in restatement of the March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023 financial statements. As a result of this material weakness, our management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2023. See “Note 2—Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements” to the accompanying financial statements, as well as Part I. Item 4. Controls and Procedures included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We have taken a number of measures to remediate the material weaknesses described herein. However, if we are unable to remediate our material weaknesses in a timely manner or we identify additional material weaknesses, we may be unable to provide required financial information in a timely and reliable manner and we may incorrectly report financial information. Likewise, if our financial statements are not filed on a timely basis, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the stock exchange on which our shares of Class A ordinary shares are listed, the SEC or other regulatory authorities. The existence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting could adversely affect our reputation or investor perceptions of us, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our shares. We can give no assurance that the measures we have taken and plan to take in the future will remediate the material weakness identified or that any additional material weaknesses or restatements of financial results will not arise in the future due to a failure to implement and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting or circumvention of these controls. Even if we are successful in strengthening our controls and procedures, in the future those controls and procedures may not be adequate to prevent or identify irregularities or errors or to facilitate the fair presentation of our financial statements.
If we identify any new material weaknesses in the future, any such newly identified material weakness could limit our ability to prevent or detect a misstatement of our accounts or disclosures that could result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements. In such case, we may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports in addition to applicable stock exchange listing requirements, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and our share price may decline as a result. We cannot assure you that any measures we may take in the future, will be sufficient to avoid potential future material weaknesses.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On January 12, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 32,500,000 Units. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $325,000,000. Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC acted as sole book-running manager of the Initial Public Offering. The securities in the offering were registered under the Securities Act on registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-251523). The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the registration statements effective on January 7, 2021.
27
Simultaneous with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 500,000 Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of $750,000. Each whole Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of ordinary shares at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The issuance was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants are not transferable, assignable or salable until after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions.
Of the gross proceeds received from the Initial Public Offering, the exercise of the over-allotment option and the Private Placement Warrants, an aggregate of $325,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account.
We paid a total of $6,500,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions and $516,778 for other costs and expenses related to the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriters agreed to defer $11,375,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions.
On May 16, 2022, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note with the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000 (the “Convertible Promissory Note”). The Convertible Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and due on the earlier of December 31, 2023 and the date on which the Company consummates its initial business combination. If we complete a business combination, we would repay such additional loaned amounts, without interest, upon consummation of the business combination. In the event that a business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such additional loaned amounts but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such additional loans (if any) may be convertible into warrants, at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the Sponsor. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such additional loans (if any) have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. If we fully draw down on the Convertible Promissory Note and require additional funds for working capital purposes, the Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, or our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us such additional funds as may be required. The issuance of the Convertible Promissory Note was approved by our board of directors and our audit committee on May 16, 2022. As of September 30, 2023, there was $1,238,623 outstanding under the Convertible Promissory Note.
For a description of the use of the proceeds generated in our Initial Public Offering, see Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q.

Re: Private Placement Warrants
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter (this “Letter Agreement”) is being delivered to you in accordance with the purchase of private placement warrants of Prospector Capital Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), by Prospector Sponsor LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Purchaser”) (such warrants, the “Private Placement Warrants”). Prior to the closing of the Company’s initial public offering, the Company and Purchaser previously entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Amendment to the Securities Purchase Agreement and Return Agreement, and the Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Purchaser holds an aggregate of 5,666,667 Private Placement Warrants. Such Private Placement Warrants are subject to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, dated as of January 7, 2021, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York limited purpose trust company. Certain capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Purchaser hereby agrees with the Company as follows:
1. | Upon execution of this Letter Agreement, the Purchaser agrees it shall surrender its ability to transfer any of the Private Placement Warrants held by it to any individuals or entities that are not affiliates of the Purchaser. |
2. | This Letter Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby. This Letter Agreement may not be changed, amended, modified or waived (other than to correct a typographical error) as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by all parties hereto. |
3. | No party hereto may assign either this Letter Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other parties. Any purported assignment in violation of this paragraph shall be void and ineffectual and shall not operate to transfer or assign any interest or title to the purported assignee. This Letter Agreement shall be binding on the Purchaser and the Company and their respective successors, heirs and assigns and permitted transferees. |
4. | Nothing in this Letter Agreement shall be construed to confer upon, or give to, any person or corporation other than the parties hereto any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Letter Agreement or of any covenant, condition, stipulation, promise or agreement hereof.

Description of Organization and Business Operations [Abstract] | |
DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS | NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Prospector Capital Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on September 18, 2020. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (a “Business Combination”).
The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from September 18, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generates 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 Initial Public Offering.
The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on January 7, 2021. On January 12, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 32,500,000 units (the “Units”), which includes the partial exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option in the amount of 2,500,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $325,000,000 which is described in Note 4.
Transaction costs amounted to $18,391,778, consisting of $6,500,000 of underwriting fees, $11,375,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $516,778 of other offering costs. On June 30, 2022, the underwriter waived its $11,375,000 deferred underwriting fee. As a result, the Company derecognized the deferred underwriting fee payable of $11,375,000 and recorded the forgiveness of the deferred underwriting fee allocated to Public Shares to the carrying value of the shares of Class A ordinary shares.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on January 12, 2021, an amount of $325,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the private placement warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund investing solely in U.S. Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), as determined by the Company, until the earliest of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s shareholders, as described below.
The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The stock exchange listing rules require that the Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the amount of deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account). The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.
The Company will provide the holders of the public shares (the “Public Shareholders” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the Business Combination, either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination (initially $10.00 per Public Share), including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, subject to certain limitations as described in the prospectus. The per-share amount to be distributed to the Public Shareholders who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 6). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants.
The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, it receives an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law approving a Business Combination, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders who attend and vote at a general meeting of the Company. If a shareholder vote is not required and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, Prospector Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”) has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares, without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against a proposed Business Combination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of the Business Combination and the Company does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares without the Company’s prior written consent.
The Sponsor has agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the Trust Account, divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares.
The Company had until January 12, 2023 to consummate a Business Combination. On January 5, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting in lieu of the annual general meeting of shareholders. In this meeting the shareholders approved amendments to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which the Company must complete a Business Combination from January 12, 2023 to December 31, 2023 (the “Combination Period”). In connection with this meeting, shareholders holding an aggregate of 30,305,944 shares of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares exercised their right to redeem their shares for $10.15 per share of the funds held in the Company’s Trust Account for total redemption amount of $307,620,347, leaving approximately $22.3 million in the Trust Account after such redemption.
However, if the Company has not completed a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of 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 (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish the rights of the Public Shareholders as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining Public Shareholders and its Board of Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.
The Sponsor has agreed to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares it will receive if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor or any of its respective affiliates acquire Public Shares, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, and in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($10.00).
In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (1) $10.00 per Public Share and (2) 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 Public Share, due to reductions in the value of trust assets, in each case. This liability will not apply to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2023, the Company had $26,121 in its operating bank account and working capital deficit of $5,565,026. In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Convertible Promissory Note (see Note 5). At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were amounts of $1,238,623 and $157,000 outstanding under Convertible Promissory Note–Related Party, respectively.
Going Concern
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has until December 31, 2023 to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. Additionally, the Company may not have sufficient liquidity to fund the working capital needs of the Company through the Company’s liquidation date or one year from the issuance of these financial statements. Management intends to complete a Business Combination to alleviate any potential liquidity issues presented to the Company in its search to complete a Business Combination. If a Business Combination is not consummated by the liquidation date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after December 31, 2023. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate any Business Combination by December 31, 2023. |

RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | NOTE 2. RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In connection with the preparation of the Company’s condensed financial statements as of and for the period ended September 30, 2023, management identified an error in its previously filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023 (the “Affected Quarterly Periods”). The Company determined that based on its review of its accounting treatment for Public and Private Placement Warrants (together, the “Warrants”) under ASC 815, as a result of the redemptions that occurred on January 24, 2023 in connection with the Company’s extraordinary general meeting to extend the date by which it must consummate an initial business combination, its accounting for the Warrants was incorrectly presented as part of equity and the Warrants should be instead presented as liabilities, with changes in value of such liabilities reported in earnings. The Company’s management determined that such redemptions resulted in the possibility for the tender offer provision contained in Section 4.4 of the warrant agreement, dated as of January 7, 2021, between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Warrant Agreement”), to be triggered without the requirement that a change in control also be triggered, which resulted in the determination that the Warrants no longer qualify for equity treatment.
In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, “Materiality,” and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements”; the Company evaluated the changes and has determined that the related impact was material to previously presented financial statements and related omitted disclosures of the Affected Quarterly Periods. Therefore, the Company concluded that the Affected Quarterly Periods should be restated. As such, the Company is reporting these restatements to the Affected Quarterly Period in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The previously presented Affected Quarterly Periods should no longer be relied upon.
The impact of the restatement on the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements are reflected in the following tables:
The following table presents information about the Company’s liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023 indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:
The Public Warrants are actively trading in the open market, as such they are classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market under the ticker PRSRW. The Private Placement Warrants are classified as Level 2 due to the use of an observable market quote for a similar asset in an active market. |

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with SEC on March 31, 2023. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or for any future periods. Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the condensed financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Offering Costs
Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the Initial Public Offering that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with the Class A ordinary shares issued were initially charged to temporary equity and then accreted to ordinary shares subject to redemption upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs amounting to $18,391,778 were charged to temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”). Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at redemption value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s condensed balance sheets.
The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital, to the extent available, and accumulated deficit.
At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Class A ordinary shares reflected in the condensed balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:
Warrants
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The Company accounts for the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Previously, the Private Placement Warrants did not meet the criteria for equity treatment and were recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classified the Private Placement Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusted the Private Placement Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability was subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value was recognized in the condensed statements of operations. The Private Placement Warrants for periods where no observable traded price was available were valued using a modified Black-Scholes model. On June 30, 2021, the Company executed an agreement whereby the holders of the private warrants will not transfer their warrants to non-affiliated holders. Beginning June 30, 2021 and thereafter, the private warrants were considered to be indexed to the Company’s ordinary shares in the manner contemplated by ASC Section 815-40-15 and therefore qualify for equity treatment. In connection with the preparation of the condensed financial statements of the Company as of and for the period ended September 30, 2023, the Company’s management identified an error in its condensed financial statements for the periods ending March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023. The Company determined that, based on its review of its accounting treatment under ASC 815 of the Warrants, as a result of the January 24, 2023 redemptions in connection with the Company’s extraordinary general meeting to extend the date by which it must consummate an initial business combination, its accounting for the Warrants was incorrectly presented as part of equity and the Warrants should be instead presented as liabilities, with changes in value of such liabilities reported in earnings. The Company’s management determined that such redemptions resulted in the possibility for the tender offer provision contained in Section 4.4 of the Warrant Agreement, to be triggered without the requirement that a change in control also be triggered, which resulted in the determination that the Warrants no longer qualify for equity treatment.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company’s management does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.
The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the periods presented.
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. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company has been subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.
Net Income (Loss) per Ordinary Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A ordinary shares is excluded from income (loss) per ordinary share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
The calculation of diluted income (loss) per ordinary share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, and (ii) the private placement since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. The warrants are exercisable to purchase 16,500,000 Class A ordinary shares in the aggregate. At September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share is the same as basic net income (loss) per ordinary share for the periods presented.
The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share (in dollars, except per share amounts):
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit 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, results of operation and cash flows.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company utilizes ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement” to determine the relative fair value of financial instruments other than derivate financial instruments. 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). Carrying values for prepaid, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value, primarily due to their short-term nature.
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:

Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants
On September 28, 2020, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, the Sponsor purchased 10,062,500 Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”) and 10,050,000 Private Placement Warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $10,075,000. On December 16, 2020, pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement Amendment, the Sponsor returned 2,875,000 Founder Shares and 2,300,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Company for $2,300,000. In January 2021, the Sponsor forfeited an additional 2,583,333 Private Placement Warrants for no consideration, resulting in 7,187,500 Founder Shares and 5,166,667 Private Placement Warrants outstanding. On January 7, 2021, the Company effected a 1:1.2 share capitalization of its Class B ordinary shares, resulting in an aggregate of 8,625,000 Founder Shares outstanding, all of which are held by the Sponsor.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 500,000 Private Placement Warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $750,000, or $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant.
The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 1,125,000 shares that were subject to forfeiture in the event that, and to the extent to which, the underwriters’ option to purchase additional Units was exercised, so that the number of Founder Shares would equal, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares after the Initial Public Offering. As a result of the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option and the forfeiture of the remaining option, 500,000 Founder Shares were forfeited and there are now 8,125,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding.
Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 8). A portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement Warrants was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.
The Sponsor has agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earliest of: (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination and (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, rights issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after a Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Public Shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.
Administrative Services Agreement
The Company entered into an agreement, commencing on January 7, 2021 through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, to pay the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative services. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred $30,000 and $90,000 in fees for these services, respectively. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $330,000 and $240,000, respectively, of such fees are included in accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed balance sheets.
Promissory Note — Related Party
On September 18, 2020, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company could borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. The Promissory Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) June 30, 2021 and (ii) the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The outstanding amount of $10,000 was repaid on January 22, 2021. Borrowings under the Promissory Note are no longer available.
Advance from Sponsor
On February 16, 2022, the Sponsor deposited $25,000 as an advance payment into the Company’s operating bank account to cover operating expenses. An additional $45,000 was deposited as an advance payment to the Company’s operating bank account on May 16, 2022. As of September 30, 2023, the full $70,000 of the advance has been repaid and no amounts remain outstanding.
Related Party Loans
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no amounts outstanding under the Working Capital Loans.
Convertible Promissory Notes
On May 16, 2022, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note with the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000 (the “Convertible Promissory Note”). The Convertible Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and due on the earlier of December 31, 2023 and the date on which the Company consummates its initial business combination. If the Company completes a business combination, it would repay such additional loaned amounts, without interest, upon consummation of the business combination. 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 such additional loaned amounts but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such additional loans (if any) may be convertible into warrants, at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the Sponsor. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such additional loans (if any) have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. If the Company fully draws down on the Convertible Promissory Note and requires additional funds for working capital purposes, the Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, or the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company such additional funds as may be required. The issuance of the Convertible Promissory Note was approved by the board of directors and the audit committee on May 16, 2022. The conversion feature included in the convertible note was analyzed under ASC 815. The conversion feature does not qualify for the exception from derivative. Accordingly, the conversion feature was required to be bifurcated. The fair value of the embedded derivative was deemed to have a zero value at issuance and as of September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were amounts of $1,238,623 and $157,000 outstanding under the Convertible Promissory Note-Related Party, respectively. |

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Risks and Uncertainties
Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and current global conflicts and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that these events 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.
Registration Rights
Pursuant to a registration and shareholders rights agreement entered into on January 7, 2021, the holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans or Convertible Promissory Note (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans or Convertible Promissory Note) will have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of the securities held by them. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination. The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidating 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 are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $11,375,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. In June 2022, the Company and the underwriters executed a waiver letter confirming the underwriter’s waiver of its deferred fee under the terms of the underwriting agreement. As a result, the Company derecognized $11,375,000 of the deferred underwriting commissions and recorded an adjustment to the carrying value of the shares of Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption.
Business Combination Agreement
On June 12, 2023, Prospector Capital Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company, entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “BCA”), with LeddarTech Inc., a corporation existing under the laws of Canada (“LeddarTech”), and LeddarTech Holdings Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of Canada and a wholly owned subsidiary of LeddarTech (“Newco”). LeddarTech, founded in 2007 and headquartered in Québec, Canada, is an automotive advanced driver assistance and autonomous driving software company that offers low-level sensor fusion and perception solutions. In its first ten years, LeddarTech focused its business on software and signal processing for smart sensing solutions. Commencing in 2022, LeddarTech began to focus its business on pure-play automotive software for low-level fusion and perception. The BCA and the transactions contemplated thereby were unanimously approved by the boards of directors of each of Prospector and LeddarTech.
Financial Advisor Agreement
On April 11, 2023, the Company engaged a financial advisor in connection with the proposed Business Combination with LeddarTech Inc. Payment is contingent on the on the close of a Business Combination at which point the Company agrees to pay the advisor $3,000,000 and out-of-pocket expenses not to exceed $250,000. |

SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT | NOTE 7. SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT
Preference Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 preference shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share, with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were preference shares issued or outstanding.
Class A Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class A ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 2,194,056 and 32,500,000 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding, all of which are subject to possible redemption and are presented as temporary equity, respectively.
Class B Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Class B ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 8,125,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding, respectively.
Holders of Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all other matters submitted to a vote of shareholders, except as required by law.
The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of a Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination, the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, 78.7% of the total number of Class A ordinary shares outstanding after such conversion (after giving effect to any redemptions of Class A ordinary shares by Public Shareholders), including 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 a Business Combination, excluding any Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A ordinary shares issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination and any Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor, officers or directors upon conversion of Working Capital Loans; provided that such conversion of Founder Shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis. |

Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination and (b) one year from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Public Warrants will expire years from the completion of a 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, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue 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.
The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days, after the closing of a Business Combination, it will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the sixtieth (60th) business day after the closing of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if our Class A ordinary shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elect, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company do not so elect, the Company will use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.
Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00. Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may call the warrants for redemption (except as described with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):
If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.
Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00. Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:
If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, as described above, its management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the Warrant Agreement. The exercise price and number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except as described below, the Public Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of ordinary shares at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public Warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Public Warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their Public Warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such Public Warrants. Accordingly, the Public Warrants may expire worthless.
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 a 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 Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of a Business Combination on the date of the consummation of a Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of its Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price and the $10.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.
The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable, except as described above, so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.
On June 30, 2021, the Company executed an agreement whereby the holders of the private warrants will not transfer their warrants to non-affiliated holders. The private warrants were considered to be indexed to the Company’s ordinary shares in the manner contemplated by ASC Section 815-40-15. Therefore, the Public and Private Placement Warrants were accounted for as equity in the condensed balance sheets. The Company determined that, based on its review of its accounting treatment under ASC 815 of the Warrants, as a result of the January 24, 2023 redemptions in connection with the Company’s extraordinary general meeting to extend the date by which it must consummate an initial business combination, its accounting for the Warrants was incorrectly presented as part of equity for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, and the Warrants should be instead presented as liabilities, with changes in value of such liabilities reported in earnings. The Company’s management determined that such redemptions resulted in the possibility for the tender offer provision contained in Section 4.4 of the Warrant Agreement, to be triggered without the requirement that a change in control also be triggered, which resulted in the determination that the Warrants no longer qualify for equity treatment. |

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company classifies its U.S. Treasury and equivalent securities as held-to-maturity in accordance with ASC Topic 320, “Investments - Debt and Equity Securities.” Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. Held-to-maturity treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost on the accompanying condensed balance sheets and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts. Securities invested in money market funds are recorded based on quoted market prices in active market.
At September 30, 2023, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $23,750,947 in money market funds which are invested primarily in U.S. Treasury Securities. Through September 30, 2023, the Company withdrew $307,620,347 from the Trust Account in connection with redemption.
At December 31, 2022, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $329,783,734 in money market funds which are invested primarily in U.S. Treasury securities. Through December 31, 2022, the Company did not withdraw any interest income from the Trust Account.
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:
Measurement
Warrants
In connection with the preparation of the condensed financial statements of the Company as of and for the period ended September 30, 2023, the Company’s management identified an error in its condensed financial statements for the periods ending March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023. The Company determined that, based on its review of its accounting treatment under ASC 815 of the Warrants, as a result of the January 24, 2023 redemptions in connection with the Company’s extraordinary general meeting to extend the date by which it must consummate an initial business combination, its accounting for the Warrants was incorrectly presented as part of equity and the Warrants should be instead presented as liabilities, with changes in value of such liabilities reported in earnings. The Company’s management determined that such redemptions resulted in the possibility for the tender offer provision contained in Section 4.4 of the Warrant Agreement, to be triggered without the requirement that a change in control also be triggered, which resulted in the determination that the Warrants no longer qualify for equity treatment.
The Public Warrants have limited trading activity in the open and observable market as of the measurement date, as such they are classified as Level 2. When the observable market quote under the ticker PRSRW is active, then Public Warrants are classified as Level 1. The Private Placement Warrants are classified as Level 2 due to the use of an observable market quote for a similar asset in an active market.
Convertible Note Bifurcated Derivative
The Company established the initial fair value for the Convertible Note Bifurcated Derivative as of January 26, 2023, which was the date the Convertible Note was executed.
The Convertible Note Bifurcated Derivative was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy at the initial measurement dates and as of September 30, 2023 and January 26, 2023 due to the use of unobservable inputs. The key inputs into the Monte Carlo simulation model for the Convertible Note Bifurcated Derivative were as follows at September 30, 2023 and January 26, 2023:
The following table presents the changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities and the bifurcated derivative for the period ended September 30, 2023:
Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2 and 3 are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period in which a change in valuation technique or methodology occurs. There were no transfers between levels during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. |

Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with SEC on March 31, 2023. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or for any future periods. |

Emerging Growth Company | Emerging Growth Company The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the condensed financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Offering Costs | Offering Costs Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the Initial Public Offering that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with the Class A ordinary shares issued were initially charged to temporary equity and then accreted to ordinary shares subject to redemption upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs amounting to $18,391,778 were charged to temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption | Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”). Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at redemption value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s condensed balance sheets. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital, to the extent available, and accumulated deficit.
At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Class A ordinary shares reflected in the condensed balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Warrants | Warrants The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The Company accounts for the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Previously, the Private Placement Warrants did not meet the criteria for equity treatment and were recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classified the Private Placement Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusted the Private Placement Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability was subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value was recognized in the condensed statements of operations. The Private Placement Warrants for periods where no observable traded price was available were valued using a modified Black-Scholes model. On June 30, 2021, the Company executed an agreement whereby the holders of the private warrants will not transfer their warrants to non-affiliated holders. Beginning June 30, 2021 and thereafter, the private warrants were considered to be indexed to the Company’s ordinary shares in the manner contemplated by ASC Section 815-40-15 and therefore qualify for equity treatment. In connection with the preparation of the condensed financial statements of the Company as of and for the period ended September 30, 2023, the Company’s management identified an error in its condensed financial statements for the periods ending March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023. The Company determined that, based on its review of its accounting treatment under ASC 815 of the Warrants, as a result of the January 24, 2023 redemptions in connection with the Company’s extraordinary general meeting to extend the date by which it must consummate an initial business combination, its accounting for the Warrants was incorrectly presented as part of equity and the Warrants should be instead presented as liabilities, with changes in value of such liabilities reported in earnings. The Company’s management determined that such redemptions resulted in the possibility for the tender offer provision contained in Section 4.4 of the Warrant Agreement, to be triggered without the requirement that a change in control also be triggered, which resulted in the determination that the Warrants no longer qualify for equity treatment. |

Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company’s management does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.
The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the periods presented. 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. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company has been subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. |

Net Income (Loss) per Ordinary Share | Net Income (Loss) per Ordinary Share The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A ordinary shares is excluded from income (loss) per ordinary share as the redemption value approximates fair value. The calculation of diluted income (loss) per ordinary share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, and (ii) the private placement since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. The warrants are exercisable to purchase 16,500,000 Class A ordinary shares in the aggregate. At September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share is the same as basic net income (loss) per ordinary share for the periods presented. The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share (in dollars, except per share amounts):

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit 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, results of operation and cash flows.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company utilizes ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement” to determine the relative fair value of financial instruments other than derivate financial instruments. 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). Carrying values for prepaid, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value, primarily due to their short-term nature. 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:

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants: ● in whole and not in part; ● at $0.10 per warrant ● upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares based on the redemption date and the fair market value of the Class A ordinary shares except as otherwise described below; ● if, and only if, the Reference Value equals or exceeds $10.00 per Public Share (as adjusted) for any 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending three trading days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and ● if the Reference Value is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted), the Private Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants, as described above. |
