DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS	NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS Jaws Mustang Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on October 19, 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 that the Company identifies (a “Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity through September 30, 2024 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (“IPO”), which is described below, and subsequent to the IPO, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO. The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on February 1, 2021. On February 4, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 103,500,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 13,500,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $1,035,000,000, which is described in Note 3. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 11,350,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $2.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to Mustang Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $22,700,000, which is described in Note 4. Transaction costs amounted to $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 (see Note 6) and $985,008 of other offering costs. Following the closing of the IPO on February 4, 2021, an amount of $1,035,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and was 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 earlier 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 IPO 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 income 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 of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). The Company will provide the holders of the public shares (the “Public Shareholders”) 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 related to the IPO. 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 seeks shareholder approval and 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 reasons, the Company will, pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Memorandum and Articles of Association”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and file tender offer documents 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, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO 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 Memorandum and Articles of Association (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide holders of Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with a Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Company’s Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination by September 4, 2024 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 and not previously released to pay taxes, divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares. The Company initially had until February 4, 2023 to consummate a Business Combination. On February 1, 2023, the Company held an extension meeting where the deadline to complete a Business Combination (the “Termination Date”) was extended from February 4, 2023 to February 4, 2024. In connection with the extension vote 101,396,386 Class A ordinary shares were redeemed for an aggregate redemption amount of $1,032,028,964. On February 2, 2024, the Company held and extension meeting where the deadline to complete a Business Combination was extended from February 4, 2024 to March 4, 2024 (the “Extension Period”) and without shareholder vote allows the Company to extend the Extension Period up to eleven times by an additional month each time accompanied by a deposit into the Trust Account in the amount of $25,000. In connection with the extension vote, 698,321 Class A ordinary shares were redeemed for an aggregate redemption amount of $7,662,572. On February 6, 2024, the Sponsor converted an aggregate of 25,500,000 Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis. The Sponsor waived any right to receive funds from the Trust Account with respect to the Class A ordinary shares received upon such conversion and acknowledged that such shares will be subject to all of the restrictions applicable to the original Class B ordinary shares under the terms of the Letter Agreement, dated February 1, 2021, among the Company, the Sponsor, and the Company’s officers and directors (the “Insider Letter”). Accordingly, the initial shareholders currently own, on an as-converted basis, approximately 25,500,000 of the outstanding Class A ordinary shares. As of February 6, 2024 and September 30, 2024, there were 26,905,293 and 375,000 Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares of the Company outstanding. Following such redemptions and conversions, the initial shareholders owned, on an as-converted basis, approximately 95.2% of the outstanding ordinary shares. On March 4, 2024, April 2, 2024, May 1, 2024, May 24, 2024, June 24, 2024, July 25, 2024, August 29, 2024, October 2, 2024 and October 23, 2024, the board approved draws of an aggregate of $225,000 (the “Extension Funds”) pursuant to the 2024 Note and the October 2024 Promissory Note (as defined below), which are Extension Funds the Company subsequently deposited into the Company’s trust account for its public stockholders. These deposits enabled the Company to extend the date by which it must complete its initial business combination from March 4, 2024 to April 4, 2024, from April 4, 2024 to May 4, 2024, from May 4, 2024 to June 4, 2024, from June 4, 2024 to July 4, 2024, from July 4, 2024 to August 4, 2024, from August 4, 2024 to September 4, 2024, from September 4, 2024 to October 4, 2024, from October 4, 2024 to November 4, 2024, and November 4, 2024 to December 4, 2024, respectively (the “Extensions”). The Extensions are the first nine of eleven one-month extensions permitted under the Memorandum and Articles of Association and provide the Company with additional time to complete its initial business combination. If the Company has not completed a Business Combination by December 4, 2024 (or up to February 4, 2025 assuming all extensions are exercised) (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 and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any (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 IPO 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 net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay taxes. 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 IPO 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. On March 8, 2024, the Company and investment entities affiliated with Starwood Capital Group, a privately held private equity firm founded and controlled by Barry Sternlicht (collectively, the “Starwood Capital Entities”) that own interests in a portfolio of hotels (the “Initial Portfolio”) comprised of the 1 Hotels properties in Manhattan and Brooklyn, and the De Vere Portfolio in the United Kingdom, issued a joint press release announcing a non-binding letter of intent (“LOI”) for a potential business combination. Under the terms of the LOI, following the consummation of the Business Combination, the combined public company would be listed on a national securities exchange. The Company expects to announce additional details regarding the proposed business combination upon the execution of a definitive merger agreement. Completion of the Business Combination is subject to, among other matters, the negotiation of a definitive agreement providing for the transaction, satisfaction of the conditions negotiated therein, various conditions and contingencies, including securing the Starwood Capital Entities’ requisite investor consents, third party consents and regulatory review, and approval of the transaction by the board of directors and shareholders of the Company. There can be no assurance that a definitive agreement will be entered into or that the proposed transaction will be consummated on the terms or timeframe currently contemplated, or at all. Liquidity and Going Concern As of September 30, 2024, the Company had operating cash of $34,688 and a working capital deficit of $4,748,397. The Company intends 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 the Company’s officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required. If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay such loaned amounts. 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 loaned amounts but no proceeds from the Company’s 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 $2.00 per warrant, at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. On January 19, 2023, the Company issued a convertible promissory note (the “working capital loan – related party”) in the principal amount of up to $500,000 to the Sponsor. As of September 30, 2024, there was $500,000 outstanding under this working capital loan – related party and no amounts available for withdrawal. On August 8, 2023, the Company issued a promissory note (the “Note”) to the Sponsor. The Note provides up to $500,000 for withdrawal and does not incur interest. The Note is due upon the earlier of the closing of a Business Combination or wind up. The Company borrowed the full $500,000 on August 8, 2023 and no further borrowings are available under this Note as of September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were amounts of $500,000 and $500,000 outstanding under the Note, respectively. On March 13, 2024, the Company issued another promissory note to the Sponsor (the “2024 Note”, and together with the Note, the “Notes”). The 2024 Note provides up to $500,000 for withdrawal and does not incur interest. The Company borrowed $125,000 on March 14, 2024 and an additional $235,000 on March 28, 2024. The 2024 Note is due upon the earlier of the closing of a business combination or wind up. On April 15, 2024, the Sponsor assigned the 2024 Note, and all of its right, title, interest in and obligation under the 2024 Note, to Starwood Capital Group Management, LLC. The Company borrowed an additional $140,000 on July 22, 2024. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were amounts of $500,000 and $0 outstanding under the 2024 Note, respectively. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the Company will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, shareholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and the Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through one year from the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements if a Business Combination is not consummated. These unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40 “Going Concern,” the Company has until December 4, 2024 to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company 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 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 4, 2024. Management intends to complete a Business Combination prior to the mandatory liquidation date.

Jaws Mustang Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on October 19, 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 that the Company identifies (a “Business Combination”).

The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity through September 30, 2024 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (“IPO”), which is described below, and subsequent to the IPO, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO.

The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on February 1, 2021. On February 4, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 103,500,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 13,500,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $1,035,000,000, which is described in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 11,350,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $2.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to Mustang Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $22,700,000, which is described in Note 4.

Transaction costs amounted to $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 (see Note 6) and $985,008 of other offering costs.

Following the closing of the IPO on February 4, 2021, an amount of $1,035,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and was 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 earlier 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 IPO 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 income 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 of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).

The Company will provide the holders of the public shares (the “Public Shareholders”) 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 related to the IPO. 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 seeks shareholder approval and 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 reasons, the Company will, pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Memorandum and Articles of Association”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and file tender offer documents 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, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO 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 Memorandum and Articles of Association (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide holders of Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with a Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Company’s Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination by September 4, 2024 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 and not previously released to pay taxes, divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares.

The Company initially had until February 4, 2023 to consummate a Business Combination. On February 1, 2023, the Company held an extension meeting where the deadline to complete a Business Combination (the “Termination Date”) was extended from February 4, 2023 to February 4, 2024. In connection with the extension vote 101,396,386 Class A ordinary shares were redeemed for an aggregate redemption amount of $1,032,028,964. On February 2, 2024, the Company held and extension meeting where the deadline to complete a Business Combination was extended from February 4, 2024 to March 4, 2024 (the “Extension Period”) and without shareholder vote allows the Company to extend the Extension Period up to eleven times by an additional month each time accompanied by a deposit into the Trust Account in the amount of $25,000. In connection with the extension vote, 698,321 Class A ordinary shares were redeemed for an aggregate redemption amount of $7,662,572. On February 6, 2024, the Sponsor converted an aggregate of 25,500,000 Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis. The Sponsor waived any right to receive funds from the Trust Account with respect to the Class A ordinary shares received upon such conversion and acknowledged that such shares will be subject to all of the restrictions applicable to the original Class B ordinary shares under the terms of the Letter Agreement, dated February 1, 2021, among the Company, the Sponsor, and the Company’s officers and directors (the “Insider Letter”). Accordingly, the initial shareholders currently own, on an as-converted basis, approximately 25,500,000 of the outstanding Class A ordinary shares. As of February 6, 2024 and September 30, 2024, there were 26,905,293 and 375,000 Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares of the Company outstanding. Following such redemptions and conversions, the initial shareholders owned, on an as-converted basis, approximately 95.2% of the outstanding ordinary shares.

On March 4, 2024, April 2, 2024, May 1, 2024, May 24, 2024, June 24, 2024, July 25, 2024, August 29, 2024, October 2, 2024 and October 23, 2024, the board approved draws of an aggregate of $225,000 (the “Extension Funds”) pursuant to the 2024 Note and the October 2024 Promissory Note (as defined below), which are Extension Funds the Company subsequently deposited into the Company’s trust account for its public stockholders. These deposits enabled the Company to extend the date by which it must complete its initial business combination from March 4, 2024 to April 4, 2024, from April 4, 2024 to May 4, 2024, from May 4, 2024 to June 4, 2024, from June 4, 2024 to July 4, 2024, from July 4, 2024 to August 4, 2024, from August 4, 2024 to September 4, 2024, from September 4, 2024 to October 4, 2024, from October 4, 2024 to November 4, 2024, and November 4, 2024 to December 4, 2024, respectively (the “Extensions”). The Extensions are the first nine of eleven one-month extensions permitted under the Memorandum and Articles of Association and provide the Company with additional time to complete its initial business combination. If the Company has not completed a Business Combination by December 4, 2024 (or up to February 4, 2025 assuming all extensions are exercised) (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 and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any (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 IPO 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 net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay taxes. 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 IPO 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.

On March 8, 2024, the Company and investment entities affiliated with Starwood Capital Group, a privately held private equity firm founded and controlled by Barry Sternlicht (collectively, the “Starwood Capital Entities”) that own interests in a portfolio of hotels (the “Initial Portfolio”) comprised of the 1 Hotels properties in Manhattan and Brooklyn, and the De Vere Portfolio in the United Kingdom, issued a joint press release announcing a non-binding letter of intent (“LOI”) for a potential business combination.

Under the terms of the LOI, following the consummation of the Business Combination, the combined public company would be listed on a national securities exchange. The Company expects to announce additional details regarding the proposed business combination upon the execution of a definitive merger agreement.

Completion of the Business Combination is subject to, among other matters, the negotiation of a definitive agreement providing for the transaction, satisfaction of the conditions negotiated therein, various conditions and contingencies, including securing the Starwood Capital Entities’ requisite investor consents, third party consents and regulatory review, and approval of the transaction by the board of directors and shareholders of the Company. There can be no assurance that a definitive agreement will be entered into or that the proposed transaction will be consummated on the terms or timeframe currently contemplated, or at all.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had operating cash of $34,688 and a working capital deficit of $4,748,397. The Company intends 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 the Company’s officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required. If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay such loaned amounts. 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 loaned amounts but no proceeds from the Company’s 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 $2.00 per warrant, at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. On January 19, 2023, the Company issued a convertible promissory note (the “working capital loan – related party”) in the principal amount of up to $500,000 to the Sponsor. As of September 30, 2024, there was $500,000 outstanding under this working capital loan – related party and no amounts available for withdrawal.

On August 8, 2023, the Company issued a promissory note (the “Note”) to the Sponsor. The Note provides up to $500,000 for withdrawal and does not incur interest. The Note is due upon the earlier of the closing of a Business Combination or wind up. The Company borrowed the full $500,000 on August 8, 2023 and no further borrowings are available under this Note as of September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were amounts of $500,000 and $500,000 outstanding under the Note, respectively.

On March 13, 2024, the Company issued another promissory note to the Sponsor (the “2024 Note”, and together with the Note, the “Notes”). The 2024 Note provides up to $500,000 for withdrawal and does not incur interest. The Company borrowed $125,000 on March 14, 2024 and an additional $235,000 on March 28, 2024. The 2024 Note is due upon the earlier of the closing of a business combination or wind up. On April 15, 2024, the Sponsor assigned the 2024 Note, and all of its right, title, interest in and obligation under the 2024 Note, to Starwood Capital Group Management, LLC. The Company borrowed an additional $140,000 on July 22, 2024. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were amounts of $500,000 and $0 outstanding under the 2024 Note, respectively.

If the Business Combination is not consummated, the Company will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, shareholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and the Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through one year from the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements if a Business Combination is not consummated. These unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40 “Going Concern,” the Company has until December 4, 2024 to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company 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 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 4, 2024. Management intends to complete a Business Combination prior to the mandatory liquidation date.
