NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the SEC.

Use of Estimates

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

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liability. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and, accordingly, 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 December 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

Cash and Investments Held in Trust Account

At December 31, 2023 all of the assets held in the trust account were cash. At December 31, 2022 substantially all of the assets held in the trust account were cash and investments in U.S. Treasury securities, respectively.

Offering Costs

Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the IPO that were directly related to the IPO. Offering costs were allocated on a relative fair value basis between shareholders’ equity (deficit) and expense. The portion of offering costs allocated to the Public Warrants has been charged to expense. The portion of offering costs allocated to the public shares has been charged to temporary equity. Upon completion of the IPO on February 1, 2021, offering costs totaled $57,010,008 (consisting of $19,800,000 of underwriting fees, net of $900,000 reimbursed from the underwriters, $36,225,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $985,008 of other offering costs), of which $1,234,321 was charged to the statements of operations upon the completion of the IPO and $55,775,687 was charged to temporary equity and accreted to additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and shareholders’ deficit.

Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ deficit. 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, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s 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 the redeemable ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.

In connection with the February 1, 2023 extension vote, 101,396,386 Class A ordinary shares were redeemed for an aggregate redemption amount of $1,032,028,964, as reflected in the below table.

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Class A ordinary shares reflected in the balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, December 31, 2021	$	1,035,000,000
Plus:
Accretion of carrying value to redemption value		15,320,264
Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, December 31, 2022		1,050,320,264

Redemptions		(1,032,028,964)
Accretion of carrying value to redemption value		(30,733,336)
Plus:

Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, December 31, 2023	$	23,004,146

Warrant Liabilities

As disclosed in Note 3, pursuant to the IPO, the Company sold 103,500,000 Units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-fourth of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”), equating to 25,875,000 Public Warrants issued. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share (see Note 9). Simultaneously with the closing of its IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 11,350,000 private placement warrants at a price of $2.00 per warrant in a private placement to Sponsor. 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 9).

The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination and (b) 12 months from the closing of the IPO. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The private placement warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that so long as the private placement warrants are held by the Sponsor or any of its Permitted Transferees, the private placement warrants (i) may be exercised for cash or on a “cashless basis”, (ii) may not be transferred, assigned or sold until thirty (30) days after the completion by the Company of an initial Business Combination, (iii) shall not be redeemable by the Company when the class A ordinary shares equal or exceeds $18.00, and (iv) shall only be redeemable by the Company when the class A ordinary shares are less than $18.00 per share, subject to certain adjustments (see Note 9).

The Company evaluated the Public Warrants and private placement warrants and concluded that they do not meet the criteria to be classified as shareholders’ equity (deficit) in accordance with ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging–Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”. Specifically, the warrant agreement allows for the exercise of the Public Warrants and private placement warrants to be settled in cash upon a tender offer where the maker of the offer owns beneficially more than 50% of the Class A shares following the tender offer. This provision precludes the warrants from being classified as shareholders’ equity (deficit) as not all of the Company’s shareholders need to participate in such a tender offer to trigger the potential cash settlement. As the Public Warrants and private placement warrants also meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815, upon completion of the IPO, the Company recorded these warrants as liabilities on its balance sheets, with subsequent changes in their respective fair values recognized in the statements of operations at each reporting date. In accordance with ASC 825-10, “Financial Instruments”, the Company has concluded that a portion of the transaction costs, which are directly related to the IPO and Private Placement, would be allocated to the warrants based on their relative fair value against total proceeds, and recognized as transaction costs in the statements of operations.

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 December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the periods presented.

Net Income per Ordinary Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net income per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. This presentation contemplates a Business Combination as the most likely outcome, in which case, both classes of shares share pro rata in the net income of the Company. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A ordinary shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

The calculation of diluted net income 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 37,225,000 Class A ordinary shares in the aggregate. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any other 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 per ordinary share is the same as basic net income per ordinary share for the periods presented.

The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income per ordinary share:

	For the Year Ended December 31,
	2023				2022
	Class A		Class B		Class A		Class B
Numerator:
Allocation of net income, as adjusted	$	1,671,932	$	3,649,731	$	37,362,871	$	9,340,718
Denominator:
Basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding		11,853,267		25,875,000		103,500,000		25,875,000
Basic and diluted net income per ordinary share	$	0.14	$	0.14	$	0.36	$	0.36

Risks and Uncertainties

The impact of current conflicts around the globe, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the Israel - Hamas war, and related sanctions, on the world economy is not determinable as of the date of these financial statements, and the specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these financial statements.

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, result of operations and cash flows.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature, other than the warrant liabilities (see Note 10).

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 the Company’s financial statements.
