Prior to the consummation of the business combination described in the proxy statement/prospectus, CHW Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“CHW”), intends to effect a deregistration under the Cayman Islands Companies Act (As Revised) and a domestication under Section 388 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, pursuant to which CHW’s jurisdiction of incorporation will be changed from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”). All securities being registered will be issued by the continuing entity following the Domestication, which will be renamed Wag! Group Co. in connection with the Business Combination, as further described in the proxy statement/prospectus. As used in this proxy statement/prospectus, the term “registrant” refers to CHW Acquisition Corporation (a Cayman Islands exempted company), prior to the Domestication, and to Wag! Group Co. (a Delaware corporation), following the Domestication.

The information in this preliminary proxy statement/prospectus is not complete and may be changed. These securities may not be issued until the registration statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. The preliminary proxy statement/prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and does not constitute the solicitation of offers to buy these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted.

PRELIMINARY — SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED JULY 7, 2022

PROXY STATEMENT FOR EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS OF
CHW ACQUISITION CORPORATION,
AND
PROSPECTUS FOR
69,627,500 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AND
16,738,636 WARRANTS TO PURCHASE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OF
CHW ACQUISITION CORPORATION (AFTER ITS DOMESTICATION AS A CORPORATION
INCORPORATED IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE AND RENAMING
AS WAG! GROUP CO. IN CONNECTION WITH THE DOMESTICATION)

The board of directors of CHW Acquisition Corporation, a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company,” “CHW,” “we,” “us” or “our”), has approved (i) the domestication of CHW as a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”) and (ii) the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of February 2, 2022, by and among CHW, Wag Labs, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Wag!”) (as may be amended from time to time, the “BCA” or the “Business Combination Agreement”), a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A. Wag! is a leading provider of access to pet care services. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination”), the Company will be renamed “Wag! Group Co.” ​(referred to herein as “New Wag!”).

As part of these transactions, CHW has formed a wholly owned subsidiary, CHW Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), which at the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”) will merge with and into Wag! (the “Acquisition Merger”), with Wag! being the surviving entity in the Acquisition Merger (the “Merger”). Upon the completion of the Business Combination and as a result of the Business Combination, Wag! will become a directly wholly owned subsidiary of New Wag!, and New Wag! will be owned in part by former public shareholders of CHW and the Sponsor, and in part by continuing equity owners of Wag!.

In connection with entering into the Business Combination Agreement, on February 2, 2022, CHW entered into a subscription agreement (the “PIPE and Backstop Subscription Agreement”) with a certain qualified institutional buyer (the “PIPE and Backstop Investor”) pursuant to which the PIPE and Backstop Investor agreed to purchase 500,000 shares (the “PIPE and Backstop Shares”) of common stock at a purchase price per share of $10.00 and an aggregate purchase price of $5 million (the “PIPE and Backstop Investment”). The purchase of the PIPE and Backstop Shares is conditioned upon, among other conditions, and will be consummated substantially concurrently with, the Closing. In connection with entering into the Business Combination Agreement, on February 2, 2022, CHW entered into a definitive commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) with Blue Torch Capital LP (together with its affiliated funds and any other parties providing a commitment thereunder, including any additional lenders, agents, arrangers or other parties joined thereto after the date thereof, collectively, the “Debt Financing Sources”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Debt Financing Sources agreed to fund a $30 million senior secured term loan credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). Upon closing of the Credit Facility, Blue Torch Capital LP (the “Initial Lender”) shall receive warrants to acquire shares of New Wag! representing 5.0% of the issued and outstanding shares of New Wag! with an exercise price equal to $11.50 per share (such warrants, the “Lender Warrants”). The closing and funding of the Credit Facility will occur in connection with the Closing, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to funding set forth in the Commitment Letter.

On January 28, 2022, Wag! entered into a series of subscription agreements (the “Series P Subscription Agreements”) with certain institutional and other accredited investors (the “Series P Investors”), pursuant to which the Series P Investors agreed to purchase an aggregate of 1,100,000 shares of Series P Preferred Stock (the “Series P Shares”) at a purchase price per share of $10.00 and an aggregate purchase price of $11 million (the “Series P Investment”). The closing of the Series P Investment was not conditioned in any manner whatsoever on the closing of the Business Combination and occurred promptly following the signing of the Series P Subscription Agreements. Negotiations with respect to the Series P Investment were occurring in parallel to negotiations of the proposed PIPE investment, including determining the allocation of the proposed PIPE investment as between new investors and existing investors in Wag!, and did not directly affect the initial valuation proposal from CHW or the December 28, 2021 revised valuation.

Upon the consummation of the Merger, each share of Wag! common stock and Wag! preferred stock will be converted into New Wag! common stock. The Merger will occur based on the following transactions, as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, (i) the conversion of all outstanding shares of

Wag!’s preferred stock into shares of New Wag! common stock at the then-effective conversion rate as calculated pursuant to Wag!’s Business Combination Agreement; (ii) the cancellation of each issued and outstanding share of Wag!’s common stock and the conversion into the right to receive a number of shares of New Wag! common stock equal to the exchange ratio of 0.97 shares of New Wag! common stock for each share of Wag! common stock; (iii) the conversion of all outstanding Wag! warrants into New Wag! warrants exercisable for shares of New Wag! common stock with the same terms except for the number of shares exercisable and the exercise price, each of which will be adjusted using an exchange ratio of 0.97 for Wag! warrants; (iv) the conversion of all outstanding vested and unvested Wag! Options into options exercisable for shares of New Wag! common stock with the same terms except for the number of shares exercisable and the exercise price, each of which will be adjusted using the exchange ratio of 0.97 for Wag! Options; (v) the conversion of 1,100,000 shares of Wag! Series P Shares into New Wag! common stock on a one-for-one basis; (vi) the issuance and sale of 500,000 CHW ordinary shares for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000 immediately prior to the Effective Time in the PIPE and Backstop Subscription Agreement (assuming that the subscriber for the PIPE and Backstop Investment does not seek to reduce its commitment as a result of acquiring any CHW ordinary shares in the market prior to the Effective Time); (vii) immediately prior to the Effective Time, each CHW ordinary share (including any Sponsor Shares (as defined below) not forfeited) shall be converted into shares of New Wag! common stock; (viii) the cancellation of 13,327 founder shares held by the Sponsor in a maximum redemption scenario in connection with the Business Combination and in accordance with the terms of the CHW Founders Stock Letter (as defined below) and the Business Combination Agreement; (ix) the issuance of 300,000 New Wag! Community Shares (as defined below) that New Wag! may distribute to members of the pet wellness and welfare community as identified by our officers and directors; and (x) the cancellation of 20,000 founder shares held by Sponsor in connection with the Business Combination and in accordance with the CHW Founders Stock Letter and the Business Combination Agreement.

Upon Closing, New Wag! will have an anticipated enterprise value of approximately $354 million. New Wag!’s executive officers, directors, and their affiliates will beneficially own approximately 50.2% of New Wag!’s common stock outstanding, assuming maximum redemptions.

As described in this proxy statement/prospectus, CHW’s shareholders are being asked to consider and vote upon (among other things) the Business Combination, the Domestication and the other proposals set forth herein.

This proxy statement/prospectus covers (A) 69,627,500 shares of common stock, which includes (i) 15,687,500 shares issuable upon cancellation and conversion of CHW ordinary shares in connection with the Domestication, (ii) 53,640,000 shares issuable as consideration for the ownership interests in Wag! in connection with the Acquisition Merger (including shares of common stock that may be issued upon the exchange of common stock of Wag! that will be issued in the Business Combination), including shares issuable as earnout consideration in the Business Combination (subject to vesting and forfeiture events under the terms of the documents governing the Business Combination), and (iii) 300,000 shares issuable to eligible members of the pet wellness and welfare community through a community share program; and (B) 16,738,636 warrants to purchase shares of common stock.

CHW’s units, public shares and public warrants are currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbols “CHWAU”, “CHWA” and “CHWAW”, respectively. CHW intends to apply for listing, to be effective at the time of the Business Combination, of New Wag!’s common stock and warrants to purchase common stock on Nasdaq under the proposed symbols “PET” and “PETW”, respectively.

Proposal No. 8 — The Adjournment Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law the adjournment of the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Special Meeting, any of the Condition Precedent Proposals would not be duly approved and adopted by our shareholders or we determine that one or more of the closing conditions under the Business Combination Agreement is not satisfied or waived (we refer to this proposal as the “Adjournment Proposal”).

Only holders of record of CHW’s ordinary shares at the close of business on June 28, 2022 are entitled to notice of and to vote and have their votes counted at the Special Meeting and any adjournment of the Special Meeting.

The resolutions to be voted upon in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting relating to the above proposals are set forth in the proxy/statement prospectus sections entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Domestication Proposal”, “Proposal No. 2 — The Business Combination Proposal”, “Proposal No. 3 — The Organizational Documents Proposal”, “Proposal No. 4 — The Advisory Charter Proposals”, “Proposal No. 5 — The Nasdaq Proposal”, “Proposal No. 6 — The Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal”, “Proposal No. 7 — The ESPP Proposal” and“Proposal No. 8 — The Adjournment Proposal”, respectively.

We will provide you with the proxy statement/prospectus and a proxy card in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the Special Meeting and at any adjournment of the Special Meeting.

Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, we urge you to read when available the proxy statement/prospectus (and any documents incorporated into the proxy statement/prospectus by reference) carefully. Please pay particular attention to the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

After careful consideration, CHW’s board of directors has determined that each of the proposals set forth above is in the best interests of CHW and its shareholders and recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” each of those proposals.

The existence of financial and personal interests of CHW’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of the directors between what he or they may believe is in the best interests of CHW and its shareholders and what he or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of CHW Directors and Officers in the Business Combination” in the proxy statement/prospectus for a further discussion.

Under the Business Combination Agreement, the approval of each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination. The adoption of each Condition Precedent Proposal is conditioned on the approval of all of the Condition Precedent Proposals. The Advisory Charter Proposals and the Adjournment Proposal are not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal. If our shareholders do not approve each of the Condition Precedent Proposals, the Business Combination may not be consummated.

In connection with CHW’s initial public offering of units (“the IPO”), on August 30, 2021, Sponsor and our officers and directors entered into a letter agreement (the “IPO Letter Agreement”) pursuant to which they agreed, among other things, to vote their ordinary shares purchased prior to the IPO (“founder shares”), as well as any ordinary shares sold in the IPO (“public shares”) purchased by them during or after the IPO, if any, in favor of CHW’s initial business combination. Accordingly, we expect them to vote their shares in favor of all proposals being presented at the Special Meeting.

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor, Mark Grundman and Jonah Raskas (the “CHW Founder Shareholders”) entered into the CHW Founders Stock Letter with CHW and Wag!, which we refer to as the “CHW Founders Stock Letter,” pursuant to which, among other things, effective upon the Closing, Sponsor, from the date of the Business Combination Agreement until the earlier of Closing or the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms, will refrain from taking (and not cause CHW to take) any action the effect of which would be to cause CHW to breach its non-solicitation obligations set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. In addition, the Sponsor agreed, among other things, (i) from the date of the Business Combination Agreement until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms, to not redeem any ordinary shares (or, if applicable, shares of New Wag! common stock) held by them and (ii) prior to the consummation of Business Combination or the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, to vote or cause to be voted, all of the CHW shares beneficially owned by the Sponsor, at every meeting of the shareholders of CHW at which such matters are considered and at every adjournment or postponement thereof: (1) in favor of (A) the Business Combination and the Business Combination Agreement and the other transactions contemplated thereby (including any proposals recommended by CHW’s Board of Directors in connection with the Business Combination) and (B) any proposal to adjourn or postpone such meeting of shareholders to a later date if there are not sufficient votes to approve the Business Combination; (2) against any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that could reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of CHW under the Business Combination Agreement; and (3) against (A) any proposal or offer from any person concerning (I) a merger, consolidation, liquidation, recapitalization, share exchange or other business combination transaction involving CHW, or (II) the issuance or acquisition of shares of capital stock or other CHW equity securities (other than as contemplated or permitted by the Business Combination Agreement); and (B) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that would reasonably be expected to (x) impede the fulfillment of CHW’s conditions under the Business Combination Agreement or change in any manner the voting rights of any

class of CHW’s shares or (y) result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or other obligation or agreement of the CHW Founder Shareholders contained in the CHW Founders Stock Letter.

Pursuant to CHW’s Existing Organizational Documents, a holder of public shares (“public shareholder”) may request that CHW redeem all or a portion of its public shares (which would be cancelled and converted into common stock of New Wag! by virtue of the Domestication) for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. For the purposes of Article 48.5 of the Existing Organizational Documents and the Cayman Islands Companies Act (As Revised), the exercise of redemption rights shall be treated as an election to have such public shares repurchased for cash and references in the proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Business Combination shall be interpreted accordingly. You will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:

•

hold (a) public shares or (b) units and you elect to separate your units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares; and

•

prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on July 26, 2022 (two business days prior to the special meeting), (a) submit a written request to VStock Transfer LLC, CHW’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), that CHW redeem your public shares for cash and (b) deliver your public shares to the transfer agent, physically or electronically through Depository Trust Company (“DTC”).

Holders of units must elect to separate the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If holders hold their units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and public warrants, or if a holder holds units registered in its own name, the holder must contact the transfer agent, directly and instruct it to do so.

Public shareholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of their public shares even if they vote for the Business Combination Proposal.

If the Business Combination is not consummated, the public shares will not be redeemed for cash. If a public shareholder properly exercises its right to redeem its public shares and timely delivers its shares to the transfer agent, we will redeem each public share for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account established in connection with our initial public offering (the “Trust Account”), calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest (less taxes paid or payable, if any, and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares. For illustrative purposes, as of June 28, 2022, this would have amounted to approximately $10.00 per public share. If a public shareholder exercises its redemption rights, then it will be exchanging its redeemed public shares for cash and will no longer own such shares. See “The Extraordinary General Meeting — Redemption Rights” in the proxy statement/​prospectus for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your public shares for cash.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such public shareholder or any other person with whom such public shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” ​(as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its public shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the public shares. Accordingly, if a public shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

The Closing is subject to certain customary conditions, including, among other things: (i) the approval of the Business Combination and other matters by CHW’s shareholders; (ii) the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and receipt of certain additional regulatory approvals; (iii) the Available Cash Amount equaling no less than $30 million at the Closing (such condition, the “Minimum Cash Condition”); (iv) (x) fundamental representations and warranties (which includes Organization, Due Authorization, Holding Company; Ownership and Brokers’ Fees) bring down conditions to an “all material respects” standard, (y) general representations and warranties bring down conditions to a “material adverse effect” standard and

(z) capitalization representation bring down condition to a “de minimis” standard; (v) covenant bring down conditions to an “all material respects” standard; (vi) the absence of a material adverse effect on the respective parties; and (vii) the effectiveness of this registration statement and the listing of New Wag! common stock to be issued in the Business Combination on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”). To the extent permitted by law, the conditions in the Business Combination Agreement may be waived by the parties thereto.

In connection with entering into the Business Combination Agreement, CHW entered into a subscription agreement (the “PIPE and Backstop Subscription Agreement”), dated as of February 2, 2022, with a qualified institutional buyer (the “PIPE and Backstop Investor”), as modified and supplemented by that certain side letter agreement between CHW and the PIPE and Backstop Investor, dated June 30, 2022, pursuant to which, among other things, the PIPE and Backstop Investor agreed to purchase from CHW, and not in the open market, an aggregate of 500,000 shares of common stock following the Domestication and immediately prior to the Closing at a cash purchase price of $10.00 per share, resulting in aggregate proceeds of $5 million; (the “PIPE and Backstop Investment”). The PIPE and Backstop Subscription Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of CHW and the PIPE and Backstop Investor and are subject to customary closing conditions which include (i) the absence of any amendment or modification to the Business Combination Agreement that is material and adverse to the PIPE and Backstop Investor; and (ii) the right to terminate the PIPE and Backstop Subscription Agreement if the transactions contemplated in the Business Combination Agreement have not been consummated by November 6, 2022, other than as a result of breach by the terminating party.

In connection with entering into the Business Combination Agreement, on February 2, 2022, CHW entered into a definitive commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) with Blue Torch Capital LP (together with its affiliated funds and any other parties providing a commitment thereunder, including any additional lenders, agents, arrangers or other parties joined thereto after the date thereof, collectively, the “Debt Financing Sources”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Debt Financing Sources agreed to fund a $30 million senior secured term loan credit facility (the “Credit Facility”).

on the Acquisition Closing Date, Merger Sub will merge with and into Wag!, with Wag! surviving the Acquisition Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Wag!. In connection with the Domestication, each then-outstanding CHW ordinary share, CHW warrant, and CHW unit will automatically convert into one share of New Wag! common stock, a New Wag! warrant, and one share of New Wag! common stock and one New Wag! warrant, respectively.

CHW will hold the Special Meeting to, among other things, obtain the approvals required for the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. You are receiving this proxy statement/prospectus in connection with such meeting. See “The Business Combination Agreement” beginning on page 124.

We urge you to read carefully this proxy statement/prospectus and the Business Combination Agreement in their entirety.

Q:

WHY AM I RECEIVING THIS DOCUMENT?

A:

CHW is sending this proxy statement /prospectus to its shareholders to help them decide how to vote their shares of CHW ordinary shares with respect to the matters to be considered at the Special Meeting.

The Business Combination cannot be completed unless CHW’s shareholders approve the Domestication Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposal, Nasdaq Proposal, the Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal and the ESPP Proposal set forth in this proxy statement/​prospectus. Information about the Special Meeting, the Business Combination and the other business to be considered by shareholders at the Special Meeting is contained in this proxy statement/prospectus.

This document constitutes a proxy statement of CHW and a prospectus of New Wag!. It is a proxy statement because the board of directors of CHW is soliciting proxies using this proxy statement/​prospectus from its shareholders.

Q:

WHAT EQUITY STAKE WILL CHW’S CURRENT SHAREHOLDERS HOLD IN NEW WAG! FOLLOWING THE BUSINESS COMBINATION?

A:

Following completion of the Business Combination, CHW’s public shareholders will own approximately 26.3% of the common equity of New Wag! (assuming that no CHW ordinary shares are elected to be redeemed by public shareholders and subject to the other assumptions set forth in “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information”). Assuming 50% redemptions by public shareholders and subject to the other assumptions set forth in “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial

Information”, CHW’s non-redeeming public shareholders will own 15.1% of the common equity of New Wag! following the Business Combination. Assuming maximum redemptions by CHW’s public shareholders and subject to the other assumptions set forth in “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information”, CHW’s non-redeeming public shareholders will own 0.0% of the common equity of New Wag! following the Business Combination.

Q:

WHAT EQUITY STAKE WILL CHW CURRENT SHAREHOLDERS, THE SPONSOR, THE PIPE AND BACKSTOP INVESTOR AND CONTINUING WAG! STOCKHOLDERS HOLD IN NEW WAG! IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE CONSUMMATION OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION?

A:

It is anticipated that, upon completion of the Business Combination, assuming that no public shareholders elect to have their public shares redeemed and all outstanding 12,500,000 public warrants, 4,238,636 private placement warrants, 2,378,375 Lender Warrants and 91,310 Wag! Common Warrants are exercised, the ownership of New Wag! will be as follows:

•

the continuing Wag! stockholders are expected to hold 30,000,000 shares of New Wag! Common stock, or approximately 44.9% of the outstanding New Wag! common stock.

If we assume the 50% redemptions scenario described under the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information,” i.e., 6,250,000 public shares are redeemed, and 12,500,000 public warrants, 4,238,636 private placement warrants, 2,065,875 Lender Warrants and 91,310 Wag!

•

the continuing Wag! stockholders are expected to hold 30,000,000 shares of New Wag! Common stock, or approximately 49.8% of the outstanding New Wag! common stock.

If we assume the maximum redemptions scenario described under the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information,” i.e., 12,500,000 public shares are redeemed, and 12,500,000 public warrants, 3,908,591 private placement warrants, 1,752,709 Lender Warrants and 91,310 Wag! Common Warrants are exercised, the ownership of New Wag! upon the Acquisition Closing will be as follows:

•

CHW’s public shareholders are expected to hold 12,500,000 shares of NewWag! common stock, or approximately 23.4% of the outstanding New Wag! common stock;

The number of shares and the interests set forth above (a) assume that (i) there are no other issuances of equity interests of CHW or Wag!, (ii) none of CHW’s initial shareholders or current Wag! stockholders

11

purchase CHW ordinary shares in the open market, (iii) there are no exercises of Wag! options or Wag! warrants and (iv) the PIPE and Backstop Investor does not purchase shares in the open market between the date of the PIPE and Backstop Subscription Agreement and the close of business on the third trading day prior to the special meeting of CHW’s shareholders called in connection with the Business Combination, and (b) do not take into account the Earnout Shares or Management Earnout Shares. As a result of the Business Combination, the economic and voting interests of CHW’s shareholders will decrease.

The CHW warrants will become exercisable on the later of the one year following the completion of CHW’s IPO and 30 days following the completion of the Business Combination.

Refer to the pro forma post-combination company common stock issued and outstanding immediately after the Business Combination and PIPE and Backstop Investment in the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information”.

Q:

WHEN WILL THE BUSINESS COMBINATION BE COMPLETED?

A:

The parties currently expect that the Business Combination will be completed by the third quarter of 2022. However, neither CHW nor Wag! can assure you of when or if the Business Combination will be completed, and it is possible that factors outside of the control of CHW and Wag! could result in the Business Combination being completed at a different time or not at all. The outside date for consummation of the Business Combination is August 8, 2022. CHW must first obtain the approval of CHW shareholders for each of the Condition Precedent Proposals, Wag! must obtain the approval of its stockholders, and CHW and Wag! must also obtain certain necessary regulatory approvals and satisfy other closing conditions. See “The Business Combination Agreement — Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination Agreement.”

Q:

WHAT HAPPENS IF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION IS NOT COMPLETED?

A:

If CHW does not complete the Business Combination with Wag! for any reason, CHW would need to search for another target business with which to complete a business combination. If CHW does not complete the Business Combination with Wag! or a business combination with another target business December 1, 2022, CHW must redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the amount then held in the Trust Account (less taxes paid or payable, if any, and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. The Sponsor has no redemption rights in the event a business combination is not effected in the required time period and, accordingly, its founder shares will be worthless. Additionally, in the event of such liquidation, there will be no distribution with respect to CHW’s outstanding warrants. Accordingly, such warrants will expire worthless.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT OUR EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

Q:

WHAT AM I BEING ASKED TO VOTE ON AND WHY IS THIS APPROVAL NECESSARY?

A:

CHW shareholders are being asked to vote on the following Shareholder Proposals:

1.

the Domestication Proposal;

2.

the Business Combination Proposal;

3.

the Organizational Documents Proposal;

4.

the Advisory Charter Proposals;

5.

the Nasdaq Proposal;

6.

the Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal;

7.

the ESPP Proposal; and

8.

the Adjournment Proposal.

12

The Business Combination is conditioned upon the approval of the Domestication Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal and the EPP Proposal, subject to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. The Business Combination is not conditioned on the approval of the Advisory Charter Proposals or the Adjournment Proposal. If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the other proposals (except the Adjournment Proposal) will not be presented to the shareholders for a vote.

Q:

WHY IS CHW PROPOSING THE DOMESTICATION?

A:

CHW’s board of directors believes that there are significant advantages to New Wag! that will arise as a result of a change of domicile to Delaware, including, (i) the prominence, predictability and flexibility of Delaware law, (ii) Delaware’s well-established principles of corporate governance and (iii) the increased ability for Delaware corporations to attract and retain qualified directors, each of the foregoing as discussed in greater detail in the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Domestication Proposal — Reasons for the Domestication.” CHW’s board of directors believes that any direct benefit that Delaware law provides to a corporation also indirectly benefits shareholders, who are the owners of the corporation. Additionally, Wag! has required the Domestication as a condition to consummating the Business Combination.

To effect the Domestication, CHW will file a notice of deregistration with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, together with the necessary accompanying documents, and file a certificate of incorporation and a certificate of corporate domestication with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, under which CHW will be domesticated and continue as a Delaware corporation, at which time CHW will change its name to “Wag! Group Co.”

The approval of the Domestication Proposal is a condition to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. The approval of the Domestication Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, vote at the Special Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as a vote cast at the Special Meeting.

Q:

HOW WILL THE DOMESTICATION AFFECT MY PUBLIC SHARES, PUBLIC WARRANTS AND UNITS?

A:

On the effective date of the Domestication, (a) each outstanding ordinary share will automatically convert into one share of New Wag! common stock, (b) the outstanding warrants to purchase ordinary shares will automatically become exercisable, at the same per share exercise price and for the same number of shares of New Wag! common stock as in effect immediately prior to the Domestication. At a moment in time after the effectiveness of the Domestication and before the closing of the Business Combination, each outstanding unit of CHW (each of which consists of one share of CHW ordinary shares and one warrant to purchase one share of CHW ordinary shares) will be separated into its component common stock and warrant. Such warrants will become exercisable into shares of common stock any time after the later of the one year following the completion of CHW’s IPO and 30 days following the completion of the Business Combination.

Q:

WHAT ARE THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE DOMESTICATION?

A:

As discussed more fully under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” below, it is the opinion of McDermott Will & Emery LLP that the Domestication should qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(l)(F) of the Code. However, due to the absence of direct guidance on the application of Section 368(a)(1)(F) to a statutory conversion of a corporation holding only investment-type assets such as CHW, this result is not entirely clear. Accordingly, due to the absence of direct guidance, it is not possible to predict whether the IRS or a court considering the issue would take a contrary position. If the Domestication fails to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, subject to the PFIC rules described in further detail below, a U.S. holder generally would recognize gain or loss with respect to its CHW ordinary shares in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the fair market value of the corresponding shares of New Wag!

13

common stock received in the Domestication and the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its CHW ordinary shares surrendered in exchange therefor.

Assuming that the Domestication does qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, and subject to the discussion of the “passive foreign investment company” ​(“PFIC”) rules below, U.S. holders (as defined in “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Holders” below) of CHW ordinary shares generally will be subject to Section 367(b) of the Code and, as a result of the Domestication:

•

A U.S. holder of CHW ordinary shares that, on the date of the Domestication, (i) owns (directly, indirectly, and constructively) CHW ordinary shares that have a fair market value of less than $50,000 and (ii) owns (directly, indirectly, and constructively) less than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of CHW stock entitled to vote and less than 10% of the total value of all classes of CHW stock generally will not recognize any gain or loss and generally will not be required to include any part of CHW’s earnings in income.

•

A U.S. holder of CHW ordinary shares that, on the date of the Domestication, owns (i) CHW ordinary shares have a fair market value of $50,000 or more, and (ii) owns (directly, indirectly, and constructively) less than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of CHW stock entitled to vote and less than 10% of the total value of all classes of CHW stock will generally recognize gain (but not loss) as a result of the Domestication. As an alternative to recognizing gain, such U.S. holder may file an election to include in income as a deemed dividend the “all earnings and profits amount” ​(as defined in the U.S. Treasury regulations (“Treasury Regulations”) under Section 367 of the Code) attributable to its CHW ordinary shares provided certain other requirements are satisfied. CHW does not expect that CHW’s cumulative earnings and profits will be material through the date of the Domestication.

U.S. holders that on the date of the Domestication beneficially own (directly, indirectly, and constructively) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of CHW stock entitled to vote or 10% or more of the total value of all classes of CHW stock are strongly urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the consequences of the Domestication under Section 367(b) of the Code.

In the case of a transaction, such as the Domestication, that should qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, a U.S. holder of CHW ordinary shares and warrants may, in certain circumstances, still potentially recognize gain (but not loss) upon the exchange of its CHW ordinary shares or warrants for New Wag! common stock or warrants pursuant to the Domestication under the PFIC rules of the Code unless the U.S. holder makes a timely “qualified electing fund election” or a timely “mark-to-market election.” The gain would equal the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the New Wag! common stock or warrants received in the Domestication over the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the corresponding CHW ordinary shares or warrants surrendered in exchange therefor. The tax on any such gain so recognized would be imposed at the rate applicable to ordinary income and an interest charge would apply. For a more complete discussion of the potential application of the PFIC rules to U.S. holders as a result of the Domestication, see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Holders — PFIC Considerations.”

Additionally, the Domestication may cause non-U.S. holders (as defined in “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — Non-U.S. Holders” below) to become subject to U.S. federal income withholding taxes on any dividends in respect of such non-U.S. holder’s New Wag! common stock (or warrants) subsequent to the Domestication.

The tax consequences of the Domestication are complex and will depend on a holder’s particular circumstances. All holders are strongly urged to consult their tax advisor for a full description and understanding of the tax consequences of the Domestication, including the applicability and effect of U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax laws. For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Domestication, see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

Q:

WHY IS CHW PROPOSING THE BUSINESS COMBINATION?

A:

CHW was incorporated to effect a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase,

14

reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (each, a “business combination”).

On September 1, 2021, CHW completed its IPO, generating gross proceeds of $125,000,000 (including the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option). Since CHW’s IPO, CHW’s activity has been limited to the evaluation of business combination candidates. Wag! is a leading provider of access to pet care services. Wag! connects Pet Parents with Pet Caregivers to provide dog walking, home visits, training, boarding, access to a licensed pet expert, and access to routine wellness plans.

The board of directors of CHW and the board of directors of Wag! have approved the proposed transaction.

Based on its due diligence investigation of Wag! and the industry in which it operates, including the financial and other information provided by Wag! in the course of its negotiations in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, CHW believes that the Business Combination with Wag! will provide CHW shareholders with an opportunity to participate in the ownership of a company with significant growth potential.

Q:

DID THE CHW BOARD OBTAIN A THIRD-PARTY VALUATION OR FAIRNESS OPINION IN DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT TO PROCEED WITH THE BUSINESS COMBINATION?

A:

CHW’s board of directors did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with its determination to approve the Business Combination.

CHW’s officers, directors and advisors have substantial experience in evaluating the operating and financial merits of companies from a wide range of industries and concluded that their experience and backgrounds, together with the experience and sector expertise of CHW’s financial advisors, enabled them to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the Business Combination. In addition, CHW’s officers, directors and advisors have substantial experience with mergers and acquisitions. Accordingly, investors will be relying solely on the judgment of CHW’s officers, board of directors and advisors in valuing Wag!’s business.

Q:

DO I HAVE REDEMPTION RIGHTS?

A:

If you are a holder of public shares, you have the right to demand that CHW redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the cash held in the Trust Account, which holds the proceeds of CHW’s IPO, as of two business days prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Proposal (including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to CHW to pay its taxes) upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (such rights, “Redemption Rights”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of ordinary shares, together with any affiliate of such holder or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group” ​(as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption with respect to more than 15% of the ordinary shares. Accordingly, all ordinary shares in excess of 15% held by a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such holder or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group”, will not be redeemed.

If passed, the Organizational Documents Proposal would remove the requirement that CHW have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets after giving effect to the redemption of all such shares.

Q:

WILL HOW I VOTE AFFECT MY ABILITY TO EXERCISE REDEMPTION RIGHTS?

A:

No. You may exercise your redemption rights whether you vote your ordinary shares for or against, or whether you abstain from voting on, the Business Combination Proposal or any other Shareholder Proposal. As a result, the Business Combination Proposal can be approved by shareholders who will redeem their ordinary shares and no longer remain shareholders and subject to the terms and conditions of the BCA, the Business Combination may be consummated even though the funds available from the Trust Account and the number of public shareholders are substantially reduced as a result of redemptions by public shareholders. Also, with fewer ordinary shares and public shareholders, the trading

15

market for CHW ordinary shares may be less liquid than the market for CHW ordinary shares prior to the Business Combination and CHW may not be able to meet the listing standards of a national securities exchange. In addition, with fewer funds available from the Trust Account, the capital infusion from the Trust Account into Wag!’s business will be reduced.

Q:

HOW DO I EXERCISE MY REDEMPTION RIGHTS?

A:

If you are a holder of ordinary shares and wish to exercise your redemption rights, you must demand that CHW redeem your shares for cash no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time on July 26, 2022 by delivering your share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms to CHW’s transfer agent physically or electronically using Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian) system prior to the vote at the Special Meeting. Holders of units must elect to separate the underlying ordinary shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the ordinary shares. If holders hold their units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the units into underlying ordinary shares and public warrants, or if a holder holds units registered in its own name, the holder must contact VStock Transfer LLC, CHW’s transfer agent, directly and instruct them to do so. Any holder of ordinary shares will be entitled to demand that such holder’s shares be redeemed for a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (which, for illustrative purposes, was approximately $125 million, or $10.00 per share, as of June 28, 2022, the record date). Such amount, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to CHW to pay its taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), will be paid promptly upon consummation of the Business Combination. However, the proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of CHW’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of CHW’s public shareholders, regardless of whether such public shareholders vote for or against the Business Combination Proposal. Therefore, the per-share distribution from the Trust Account in such a situation may be less than originally anticipated due to such claims. Your vote on any Shareholder Proposal will have No impact on the amount you will receive upon exercise of your redemption rights.

Any written demand of redemption rights must be received by CHW’s transfer agent prior to the vote taken on the Business Combination Proposal at the Special Meeting. No demand for redemption will be honored unless the holder’s share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms have been delivered (either physically or electronically) to the transfer agent prior to the vote at the Special Meeting.

If a holder of ordinary shares properly makes a request for redemption and the certificates for the ordinary shares (if any) along with the redemption forms are delivered as described to CHW’s transfer agent as described herein, then, if the Business Combination is consummated, CHW will redeem these shares for a pro rata portion of funds deposited in the Trust Account. If you exercise your redemption rights, then you will be exchanging your ordinary shares for cash.

Any request to redeem public shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests and thereafter, with CHW’s consent, until the closing of the Business Combination. If CHW receives valid redemption requests from holders of public shares prior to the redemption deadline, CHW may, at its sole discretion, following the redemption deadline and until the date of Closing, seek and permit withdrawals by one or more of such holders of their redemption requests. CHW may select which holders to seek such withdrawals of redemption requests from based on any factors we may deem relevant, and the purpose of seeking such withdrawals may be to increase the funds held in the Trust Account, including where CHW otherwise would not satisfy the closing condition that the amount in the Trust Account and the proceeds from the PIPE and Backstop Investment and Debt Financing equal or exceed $30 million, following payment of the aggregate amount of cash proceeds that will be required to satisfy any redemptions and payment of all transaction expenses. If you delivered your public shares for redemption to the transfer agent and decide within the required timeframe not to exercise your redemption rights, you may request that the transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting CHW’s transfer agent at the email address or address listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below.

Q:

WHAT ARE THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF EXERCISING MY REDEMPTION RIGHTS?

A:

We expect that a U.S. holder (as defined in “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S.

16

Holders” below) that exercises its Redemption Rights to receive cash from the Trust Account in exchange for its New Wag! common stock will generally be treated as selling such New Wag! common stock resulting in the recognition of capital gain or capital loss. There may be certain circumstances in which the redemption may be treated as a distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes depending on the amount of New Wag! common stock that a U.S. holder owns or is deemed to own (including through the ownership of New Wag! warrants). For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax considerations of an exercise of redemption rights, see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

Additionally, because the Domestication will occur prior to the redemption of U.S. holders that exercise redemption rights, U.S. holders exercising redemption rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of Section 367 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the potential tax consequences of the rules applicable to a company treated as a “passive foreign investment company” ​(“PFIC”), as a result of the Domestication. The tax consequences of exercising redemption rights are discussed more fully below under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Holders — Effect to U.S. Holders of the Public Shares Exercising Redemption Rights.”

All holders considering exercising redemption rights are urged to consult their tax advisor on the tax consequences to them of an exercise of redemption rights, including the applicability and effect of U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax laws.

Q:

DO I HAVE APPRAISAL RIGHTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROPOSED BUSINESS COMBINATION AND THE PROPOSED DOMESTICATION?

A:

No. Neither CHW shareholders nor CHW warrant holders have appraisal rights in connection with the Domestication or the Business Combination under Cayman Islands law or under the DGCL.

Q:

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE FUNDS DEPOSITED IN THE TRUST ACCOUNT AFTER CONSUMMATION OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION?

A:

The net proceeds of CHW’s initial public offering, together with funds raised from the sale of private placement warrants simultaneously with the consummation of CHW’s initial public offering, was placed in the Trust Account immediately following CHW’s initial public offering. After consummation of the Business Combination, the funds in the Trust Account will be used to pay holders of the ordinary shares who exercise redemption rights, to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination (including aggregate fees of approximately $4,375,000 as deferred underwriting commissions related to CHW’s initial public offering) and, together with the proceeds of the PIPE and Backstop Investment, will be deposited with New Wag! to be used for general corporate purposes.

Q:

WHAT HAPPENS IF A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF PUBLIC SHAREHOLDERS VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL AND EXERCISE THEIR REDEMPTION RIGHTS?

A:

CHW’s public shareholders may vote in favor of the business combination and still exercise their redemption rights. Accordingly, the business combination may be consummated even though the funds available from the trust account and the number of public shareholders are substantially reduced as a result of redemptions by public shareholders.

If a CHW public shareholder exercises its redemption rights, such exercise will not result in the loss of any warrants that it may hold. Assuming that there are maximum redemptions or 12,500,000 public shares held by CHW’s public shareholders were redeemed, the 12,500,000 retained outstanding CHW public warrants would have had an aggregate value of $2,250,000 (based on the closing price of $0.18 per CHW public warrant on June 28, 2022). If a substantial number of, but not all, CHW public shareholders exercise their redemption rights, any non-redeeming shareholders would experience dilution to the extent such warrants are exercised and additional shares of New Wag! shares are issued.

In no event will CHW redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause its (or New Wag!’s after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement) net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001, as provided in the Existing Organizational Documents.

17

With fewer public shares and public shareholders, the trading market for New Wag! common stock may be less liquid than the market for CHW’s public shares was prior to the Business Combination and New Wag! may not be able to meet the listing standards for Nasdaq. If New Wag!’s securities are not listed on Nasdaq and certain other conditions are not met, the PIPE and Backstop Investment will not close and any monies paid by the applicable subscriber to CHW pursuant to the subscription agreement shall promptly (but not later than two business days after termination) be returned to the subscriber without any deduction for or on account of any tax, withholding, charges, or set-off. In addition, with fewer funds available from the trust account, the working capital infusion from the trust account into New Wag!’s business will be reduced. See “Risk Factors” for more details.

The below table shows the anticipated share ownership of various holders of New Wag! common stock upon closing of the Business Combination in the no redemption, 50% redemption, and maximum redemption scenarios and is based on the following assumptions: (i) there are no other issuances of equity interests of CHW or Wag!, (ii) neither the Sponsor nor any of Wag!’s current stockholders purchase CHW public shares in the open market, (iii) the Sponsor forfeits 13,327 founder shares and 330,045 warrants in connection with the Closing pursuant to paragraph 5 of the CHW Founders Stock Letter in the maximum redemption scenario, (iv) the Sponsor forfeits 20,000 founder shares in each scenario in connection with the Closing pursuant to paragraph 6 of the CHW Founders Stock Letter, (v) no founder shares are forfeited in connection with price targets or issuance of New Wag! Community Shares pursuant to paragraphs 3 and 6, respectively, of the CHW Founders Stock Letter, (vi) all CHW, Lender Warrants, and Wag! Common Warrants are exercised, and (vii) the PIPE and Backstop Investor does not purchase shares in the open market between the date of the PIPE and Backstop Subscription Agreement and the close of business on the third trading day prior to the special meeting of CHW’s shareholders called in connection with the Business Combination. The residual equity value owned by non-redeeming shareholders will remain $10.00 per share as illustrated in the sensitivity table below.

Q:

HOW DOES THE SPONSOR INTEND TO VOTE ON THE SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS?

A:

The Sponsor owns of record and is entitled to vote an aggregate of approximately 15% of the outstanding shares of CHW ordinary shares. The Sponsor has agreed to vote any founder shares and any ordinary shares held by it as of the record date in favor of the Shareholder Proposals. See “The Business Combination Agreement — Related Agreements — CHW Founders Stock Letter.” In addition, the Sponsor has agreed, among other things, (i) from the date of the Business Combination Agreement until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms, to not redeem any ordinary shares (or, if applicable, shares of common stock) held by it and (ii) prior to the consummation of Business Combination or the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, to vote or cause to be voted, all of the CHW shares beneficially owned by Sponsor, at every meeting of the shareholders of CHW at which such matters are considered and at every adjournment or postponement thereof: (1) in favor of (A) the Business Combination and the Business Combination Agreement and the other transactions contemplated thereby (including any proposals recommended by CHW’s Board of Directors in connection with the Business Combination) and (B) any proposal to adjourn or postpone such meeting of shareholders to a later date if there are not sufficient votes to approve the Business Combination; (2) against any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that could reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of CHW under the Business Combination Agreement; and (3) against (A) any proposal or offer from any person concerning (I) a merger, consolidation, liquidation, recapitalization, share exchange or other business combination transaction involving CHW, or (II) the issuance or acquisition of shares of capital stock or other CHW equity securities (other than as contemplated or permitted by the Business Combination Agreement); and (B) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that would reasonably be expected to (x) impede the fulfillment of CHW’s conditions under the Business Combination Agreement or change in any manner the voting rights of any class of CHW’s shares or (y) result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or other obligation or agreement of Sponsor, Mark Grundman or Jonah Raskas contained in the CHW Founders Stock Letter. See also “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — CHW Founders Stock Letter.”

Q:

WHAT CONSTITUTES A QUORUM AT THE SPECIAL MEETING?

A:

The holders of a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding CHW ordinary shares entitled to vote at the Special Meeting must be present, in person or virtually or represented by proxy, at the Special Meeting to constitute a quorum and in order to conduct business at the Special Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present for the purpose of determining a quorum. The holders of the founder shares, who currently own approximately 15% of the issued and outstanding shares of CHW ordinary shares, will count towards this quorum. In the absence of a quorum, the chairman of the Special Meeting has power to adjourn the Special Meeting. As of the record date for the Special Meeting, holders of 7,843,751 CHW ordinary shares would be required to be present to achieve a quorum.

20

Q:

WHAT VOTE IS REQUIRED TO APPROVE EACH PROPOSAL AT THE SPECIAL MEETING?

A:

The Domestication Proposal:

The approval of the Domestication Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, vote at the Special Meeting. The Domestication Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal. Therefore, if the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Domestication Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by CHW’s public shareholders. Pursuant to the IPO Letter Agreement and the CHW Founders Stock Letter, the Sponsor, Mark Grundman and Jonah Raskas have agreed to vote shares representing approximately 15% of the aggregate voting power of the CHW ordinary shares in favor of the Domestication Proposal. In addition to the shares held by the Sponsor and CHW’s directors and executive officers, 2,824,168 shares would need to be voted in favor of the Domestication Proposal for it to be approved, assuming only the minimum number of voting shares needed to establish a quorum are voted.

The Business Combination Proposal:

The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, vote at the Special Meeting. CHW shareholders must approve the Business Combination Proposal in order for the Business Combination to occur. If CHW shareholders fail to approve the Business Combination Proposal, the Business Combination will not occur. Pursuant to the IPO Letter Agreement and as further discussed in the section entitled “The Business Combination Agreement — Related Agreements — CHW Founders Stock Letter,” the Sponsor, Jonah Raskas and Mark Grundman have agreed to vote shares representing approximately 15% of the aggregate voting power of the CHW ordinary shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. In addition to the shares held by the Sponsor and CHW’s directors and executive officers, 1,516,876 shares would need to be voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal for it to be approved, assuming only the minimum number of voting shares needed to establish a quorum are voted.

The Organizational Documents Proposal:

The approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, vote at the Special Meeting. The Organizational Documents Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Domestication Proposal, and, therefore, also conditioned on approval of the Business Combination Proposal. Therefore, if the Business Combination Proposal or the Domestication Proposal is not approved, the Organizational Documents Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by CHW’s public shareholders. Pursuant to the CHW Founders Stock Letter, the CHW Founder Shareholders have agreed to vote shares representing approximately 15% of the aggregate voting power of the CHW ordinary shares in favor of the Organizational Documents Proposal. In addition to the shares held by the Sponsor and CHW’s directors and executive officers, 2,824,168 shares would need to be voted in favor of the Organizational Documents Proposal for it to be approved, assuming only the minimum number of voting shares needed to establish a quorum are voted.

The Advisory Charter Proposals:

The approval of any of the Advisory Charter Proposals require an ordinary resolution but is not otherwise required by Cayman Islands law or Delaware law separate and apart from the Organizational Documents Proposal, but pursuant to SEC guidance, CHW is required to submit these provisions to its shareholders separately for approval as an ordinary resolution. However, the shareholder votes regarding these proposals are advisory votes, and are not binding on CHW or the CHW Board (separate and apart from the approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal). Furthermore, the Business Combination is not conditioned on the separate approval of the Advisory Charter Proposals (separate and apart from approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal).

21

The Nasdaq Proposal:

The approval of the Nasdaq Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, vote at the Special Meeting. The Nasdaq Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal, and, therefore, also conditioned on approval of the Domestication Proposal and the Business Combination Proposal. Therefore, if any of the Domestication Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal or the Organizational Documents Proposal is not approved, the Nasdaq Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by CHW’s public shareholders. Pursuant to the IPO Letter Agreement and the CHW Founders Stock Letter, the CHW Founder Shareholders have agreed to vote shares representing approximately 15% of the aggregate voting power of the CHW ordinary shares in favor of the Nasdaq Proposal. In addition to the shares held by the Sponsor and CHW’s directors and executive officers, 1,516,876 shares would need to be voted in favor of the Nasdaq Proposal for it to be approved, assuming only the minimum number of voting shares needed to establish a quorum are voted.

The Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal:

The approval of the Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, vote at the Special Meeting. The Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Nasdaq Proposal and, therefore, also conditioned on the approval of the Domestication Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, and the Organizational Documents Proposals. Therefore, if any of those proposals is not approved, the Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by CHW’s public shareholders. Pursuant to the IPO Letter Agreement and the CHW Founders Stock Letter, the CHW Founder Shareholders have agreed to vote shares representing approximately 15% of the aggregate voting power of the CHW ordinary shares in favor of the Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal. In addition to the shares held by the Sponsor and CHW’s directors and executive officers, 1,516,876 shares would need to be voted in favor of the Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal for it to be approved, assuming only the minimum number of voting shares needed to establish a quorum are voted.

The ESPP Proposal:

The approval of the ESPP Proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, vote at the Special Meeting. The ESPP Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Nasdaq Proposal and, therefore, also conditioned on the approval of the Domestication Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, and the Organizational Documents Proposals. Therefore, if any of those proposals is not approved, the ESPP Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by CHW’s public shareholders. Pursuant to the IPO Letter Agreement and the CHW Founders Stock Letter, the CHW Founder Shareholders have agreed to vote shares representing approximately 15% of the aggregate voting power of the CHW ordinary shares in favor of the ESPP Proposal. In addition to the shares held by the Sponsor and CHW’s directors and executive officers, 1,516,876 shares would need to be voted in favor of the ESPP Proposal for it to be approved, assuming only the minimum number of voting shares needed to establish a quorum are voted.

The Adjournment Proposal:

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, vote at the Special Meeting. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon any other Shareholder Proposal. Assuming that (i) all of the shares held by the Sponsor and CHW’s directors and executive officers are voted in favor of the Adjournment Proposal and (ii) only the minimum number of voting shares needed to establish a quorum are voted, 1,516,876 additional shares would need to be voted in favor of the Adjournment Proposal for it to be approved.

22

Q:

DO ANY OF CHW’S DIRECTORS OR OFFICERS HAVE INTERESTS IN THE BUSINESS COMBINATION THAT MAY DIFFER FROM OR BE IN ADDITION TO THE INTERESTS OF CHW SHAREHOLDERS?

A:

CHW’s executive officers and certain non-employee directors may have interests in the Business Combination that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of CHW’s shareholders generally. The CHW board of directors was aware of and considered these interests to the extent such interests existed at the time, among other matters, in approving the Business Combination Agreement and in recommending that the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby be approved by the shareholders of CHW. See “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of CHW Directors and Officers in the Business Combination.”

Q:

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO NOW?

A:

After carefully reading and considering the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, please submit your proxies as soon as possible so that your shares will be represented at the Special Meeting. Please follow the instructions set forth on the proxy card or on the voting instruction form provided by your broker, bank or other nominee if your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee.

Q:

HOW DO I VOTE?

A:

If you are a shareholder of record of CHW as of June 28, 2022 (the “record date”) you may submit your proxy before the Special Meeting in any of the following ways, if available:

•

use the toll-free number shown on your proxy card;

•

visit the website shown on your proxy card to vote via the internet; or

•

complete, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed postage-paid envelope.

If you are a shareholder of record of CHW as of the record date, you may also cast your vote at the Special Meeting

If your shares are held in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee, your broker, bank or other nominee will send you separate instructions describing the procedure for voting your shares. “Street name” shareholders who wish to vote at the Special Meeting will need to obtain a proxy form from their broker, bank or other nominee.

Q:

WHEN AND WHERE IS THE SPECIAL MEETING?

A:

The Special Meeting will be held on July 28, 2022, at 11:00 local time at the offices of McDermott Will & Emery LLP, located at Vanderbilt Ave, New York, New York 10017, or such other date, time, and place to which such meeting may be adjourned. In light of the novel coronavirus pandemic and to support the well-being of CHW’s shareholders, directors and officers, CHW encourages you to use remote methods of attending the Special Meeting or to attend via proxy. You may attend the Special Meeting and vote your shares electronically during the Special Meeting via live webcast by visiting www.cleartrustonline.com/CHWA. You will need the meeting control number that is printed on your proxy card to enter the Special Meeting. All CHW shareholders as of the record date, or their duly appointed proxies, may attend the Special Meeting.

Q:

IF MY SHARES ARE HELD IN “STREET NAME” BY A BROKER, BANK OR OTHER NOMINEE, WILL MY BROKER, BANK OR OTHER NOMINEE VOTE MY SHARES FOR ME?

A:

If your shares are held in “street name” in a stock brokerage account or by a broker, bank or other nominee, you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote your shares. Please follow the voting instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee. Please note that you may not vote shares held in “street name” by returning a proxy card directly to CHW or by voting at the Special Meeting unless you provide a “legal proxy”, which you must obtain from your broker, bank or other nominee. In addition to such legal proxy, if you plan to attend the Special Meeting, but are not a shareholder of record because you hold your shares in “street name”, please have

23

evidence of your beneficial ownership of your shares (e.g., a copy of a recent brokerage statement showing the shares) and valid photo identification with you at the Special Meeting.

Under the rules of Nasdaq, brokers who hold shares in “street name” for a beneficial owner of those shares typically have the authority to vote in their discretion on “routine” proposals when they have not received instructions from beneficial owners. However, brokers are not permitted to exercise their voting discretion with respect to the approval of matters that Nasdaq determines to be “non-routine” without specific instructions from the beneficial owner. It is expected that all of the Shareholder Proposals are “non-routine” matters. Broker non-votes occur when a broker or nominee is not instructed by the beneficial owner of shares to vote on a particular Shareholder Proposal for which the broker does not have discretionary voting power.

If you are an CHW shareholder holding your shares in “street name” and you do not instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote your shares, your broker, bank or other nominee will not vote your shares on the Domestication Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposal, the Advisory Charter Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal. Such abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the vote count for any of the proposals.

Q:

WHAT IF I ATTEND THE SPECIAL MEETING AND ABSTAIN OR DO NOT VOTE?

A:

For purposes of the Special Meeting, an abstention occurs when a shareholder attends the meeting and does not vote or returns a proxy with an “abstain” vote.

If you are an CHW shareholder that attends the Special Meeting and fails to vote on the Domestication Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposal, the Advisory Charter Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal, or if you respond to such proposals with an “abstain” vote, your failure to vote or “abstain” vote in each case will have no effect on the vote count for such proposals.

Q:

WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I RETURN MY PROXY CARD WITHOUT INDICATING HOW TO VOTE?

A:

If you sign and return your proxy card without indicating how to vote on any particular Shareholder Proposal, the CHW shares represented by your proxy will be voted as recommended by the CHW board of directors with respect to that Shareholder Proposal.

Q:

MAY I CHANGE MY VOTE AFTER I HAVE DELIVERED MY PROXY OR VOTING INSTRUCTION CARD?

A:

Yes. You may change your vote at any time before your proxy is voted at the Special Meeting. You may do this in one of three ways:

•

filing a notice with CHW or its proxy solicitor;

•

mailing a new, subsequently dated proxy card; or

•

by attending the Special Meeting and electing to vote your shares.

If you are a shareholder of record of CHW and you choose to send a written notice or to mail a new proxy, you must submit your notice of revocation or your new proxy to CHW Acquisition Corporation, 2 Manhattanville Road, Suite 403, Purchase, New York 10577 and it must be received at any time before the vote is taken at the Special Meeting. Any proxy that you submitted may also be revoked by submitting a new proxy by mail, or online or by telephone, not later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on July 26, 2022, or by voting at the Special Meeting. Simply attending the Special Meeting will not revoke your proxy. If you have instructed a broker, bank or other nominee to vote your shares of CHW ordinary shares, you must follow the directions you receive from your broker, bank or other nominee in order to change or revoke your vote.

Q:

WHAT HAPPENS IF I FAIL TO TAKE ANY ACTION WITH RESPECT TO THE SPECIAL MEETING?

A:

If you fail to take any action with respect to the Special Meeting and the Business Combination is

24

approved by shareholders and consummated, you will continue to be a shareholder of CHW. Failure to take any action with respect to the Special Meeting will not affect your ability to exercise your redemption rights. If you fail to take any action with respect to the Special Meeting and the Business Combination is not approved, you will continue to be a shareholder of CHW while CHW searches for another target business with which to complete a business combination.

Q:

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I RECEIVE MORE THAN ONE SET OF VOTING MATERIALS?

A:

Shareholders may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement/prospectus and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered under more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your shares.

Q:

WHOM SHOULD I CONTACT IF I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS OR VOTING?

A:

If you have questions about the Proposals or if you need additional copies of the proxy statement/​prospectus or the enclosed proxy card you should contact CHW’s proxy solicitor at:

To better understand the proposals to be submitted for a vote at the Special Meeting, including the Business Combination, you should read this proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and other documents referred to herein, carefully and in their entirety. The Business Combination Agreement is the legal document that governs the Business Combination and the other transactions that will be undertaken in connection with the Business Combination. The Business Combination Agreement is also described in detail in this proxy statement/prospectus in the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — The Business Combination Agreement.”

The Parties to the Business Combination

CHW Acquisition Corporation (“CHW”)

CHW Acquisition Corporation is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

On September 1, 2021, CHW completed its initial public offering of 12,500,000 units, including 1,500,000 units which were subject to the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters, with each unit consisting of one ordinary share and one warrant to purchase one ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share. Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering and the over-allotment option, CHW consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 4,238,636 warrants to the Sponsor at a purchase price of $1.00 per warrant. A total of $125,000,000 of the net proceeds of the sale of the units in the initial public offering, over-allotment, and the sale of the warrants in the private placement, was placed in a trust account for the benefit of the purchasers of the units in CHW’s initial public offering.

Thirteen qualified institutional buyers or institutional accredited investors which are not affiliated with CHW, the Sponsor, CHW’s directors, or any member of CHW’s management (the “anchor investors”), each purchased units in the IPO at varying amounts not exceeding 9.9% of the units subject to the IPO. In conjunction with each anchor investor purchasing 100% of the units allocated to it, in connection with the closing of the IPO the Sponsor sold 750,000 founder shares in the aggregate to the anchor investors at their original purchase price.

Also on September 1, 2021, CHW issued to the designees of Chardan 62,500 ordinary shares of CHW (the “Representative Shares”). CHW accounted for the Representative Shares as an offering cost of the initial public offering, with a corresponding credit to shareholders’ equity. Since the completion of the IPO, CHW’s activity has been limited to the evaluation of business combination candidates.

Like most blank check companies, CHW’s Existing Organizational Documents provided for the return of the proceeds of CHW’s initial public offering held in the trust account to the holders of public shares if there is no qualifying business combination(s) consummated on or before a certain date (in CHW’s case, December 1, 2022). CHW intends to consummate the Transactions as soon as practicable and will not use the full amount of time through December 1, 2022 to consummate the Transactions unless necessary

CHW’s units, ordinary shares, and warrants are listed on Nasdaq under the symbols “CHWAU,” “CHWA,” and “CHWAW,” respectively.

CHW’s principal executive office is located at 2 Manhattanville Road, Suite 40, Purchase, NY 10577 and its telephone number is (914) 603-5016.

CHW Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”)

Merger Sub is a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of CHW. Merger Sub does not own any material assets or operate any business. After the consummation of the Transactions, CHW will cease to exist because it will have merged with and into Merger Sub in the Acquisition Merger.

Mission and Purpose

Our mission is to be the #1 partner to busy Pet Parents. We believe that being busy shouldn’t stop Pet Parents from owning or taking care of their pets. We are dedicated to building a future in which every pet has access to safe, high-quality care. This future will be built by a passionate community of pet lovers who want to spend their time creating joy for pets and those who love them. Wag! is the technology platform for building that future, and we are just getting started.

Wag! exists to make pet ownership possible and to bring joy to pets and those who love them. We are committed to maximizing the happiness of pets and Pet Parents alike. Your furry family member deserves our best, and that’s what we deliver every day, through thoughtful innovation and dedicated team support.

Our Business

Wag! develops and supports a proprietary marketplace technology platform available as a website and mobile app that enables independent Pet Caregivers to connect with Pet Parents. The platform allows Pet Parents to make pet services requests in the platform, which can then be fulfilled by Pet Caregivers. Wag! supports dog walking, pet sitting, pet boarding, drop-in visits at the Pet Parent’s home, advice from licensed pet experts, training services, pet insurance comparison tools, and pet wellness plans in 5,300 U.S. cities across all 50 states. From our founding in 2015 through March 2022, we have approved over 400,000 Pet Caregivers and there have been over 12.1 million services completed through the Wag! platform.

We developed on-demand dog walking by connecting an already passionate community of local pet lovers and caregivers with Pet Parents. We built a platform where Pet Parents can find local Pet Caregivers who want to earn extra income. We believe that these connections not only enable better care for pets, but also create joy for both parties, and so we sought to simplify the logistics of pet care. We built a simple and easy-to-use platform to enable Pet Parents to discover, book, pay, and review Pet Caregivers online or in our mobile app.

For Pet Caregivers, we built tools to easily create a listing in the Wag! platform, along with simple tools for promoting their profile online, scheduling and booking service opportunities, communicating with Pet

28

Parents, and receiving payment. To assist both Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers, we invested in a customer service team available around the clock to support them along the way. To be a brand dedicated to trust and safety, we thoroughly vet and screen all Pet Caregivers, and all services are covered with up to $1 million property damage protection, subject to applicable policy limitations and exclusions.

With over 400,000 approved Pet Caregivers, our network enables us to facilitate connections between pet, parent, and caregiver to best meet the unique needs and preferences of all members of the community. Moreover, we have carefully designed our technology and platform to leverage our growing scale by helping Pet Parents easily find superior local Pet Caregivers as our provider network expands. Our results speak for themselves — Pet Parents love Wag!. Based on internal reporting, from inception through March 2022 Pet Parents have written over 11 million reviews, more than 96% of which have earned five stars.

We have differentiated ourselves from other marketplaces by offering access to a variety of service options, including dog walking, drop-in visits at the Pet Parent’s home, training, overnight boarding, pet sitting, 24/7 consultations with a licensed pet expert, the ability to compare pet insurance plans, and various Wag! Wellness pet plans.

We generate revenue from four distinct streams: (1) service fees charged to Pet Caregivers for use of the platform to discover pet service opportunities and to successfully complete a pet care service to a Pet Parent, (2) subscription and other fees paid by Pet Parents for Wag! Premium, (3) joining fees paid by Pet Caregivers to join and be listed on the platform, and (4) wellness revenue through affiliate fees paid by third-party service partners based on ‘revenue-per-action’ or conversion activity.

We are committed to improving the quality of life for all pets. To give back to our communities, we donate a portion of the proceeds from each walk to local shelters. Through March 2022, we have donated over 16.5 million meals to pets in need through our partnership with the Greater Good Rescue Bank Program. We have also partnered with the Humane Society of the United States to give back to the community.

Our Market Opportunity

U.S. Pet Parents spent approximately $123.6 billion on their pets in 2021, according to the American Pet Products Association (“APPA”). This is an increase of over 19% from 2020, driven largely by the spike in the pet population due to the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the 2021—2022 APPA National Pet Owners Survey, 70% of U.S. households own a pet, which equates to 90.5 million homes.

Pet Parents rely on family and friends, local independent professionals, large commercial pet service companies, or other online marketplaces for help with petcare. For the millions of Pet Parents with travel plans or busy schedules, each existing care option presents its own disadvantages, especially for parents who have concerns that their pet will not receive enough individual care or attention. Wag! was founded to make pet ownership possible because being busy should not stop someone from owning or caring for their pet. We believe a platform like ours can better address Pet Parents’ basic pet care needs. Pet Parents want a positive, stress-free experience for their pets, quality personalized care for their pets, availability of on-demand pet services, technology-enabled ease of access and management for pet services, and pet care that suits their budgets and their lifestyle.

While demand for pet services decreased under travel restrictions, shelter-in-place orders, and work from home requirements beginning in March 2020, pet adoptions simultaneously skyrocketed. Due to this increase in pet ownership, we believe that COVID-19 has created a number of tailwinds to accelerate growth. Both new and experienced Pet Parents may feel less comfortable leaving their pet home alone or in a kennel in the future. We also implemented new features to increase engagement in a contact-free environment, including adding services such as digital in-app video training sessions with a qualified trainer. The financial pressure of COVID-19 may also expand the number of people looking to earn extra income.

In 2021, we have quickly recovered from the decline in our revenue in 2020 due to COVID-19. As of the year ended December 31, 2021 our revenue was $20.1 million, compared to $12.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2020. As of the three months ended March 31, 2022 our revenue was $9.7 million, compared to $2.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. According to an industry survey conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers (“PwC”) in November and December 2020, 75% of U.S. executives anticipate at

29

least half of the office workforce will return to the office full-time by mid-2022, which we believe will likely have a positive effect on the number of bookings for pet services, such as dog walking, pet sitting, and home visits.

Furthermore, we believe that consumer behavior has continued to shift meaningfully toward online and app-based experiences. For example, one-in-five households in the United States adopted a pet during the pandemic, based on a poll conducted in May 2021 by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (“ASPCA”). Based on the combination of these factors, we believe that our business will have strong growth in the future.

We believe that the commercial market for pet care represents an enormous expansion opportunity. In order to become the go-to solution for Pet Parents, we are investing in and are committed to accelerating growth in existing markets, expanding our subscription offerings, expanding our platform, expanding internationally, and exploring merger and acquisition opportunities.

Our Business Model

We provide an online marketplace that enables Pet Parents to connect with Pet Caregivers for various pet services. We generate revenue from four distinct streams: (1) service fees charged to Pet Caregivers for use of the platform to discover pet service opportunities and to successfully complete a pet care service to a Pet Parent, (2) subscription and other fees paid by Pet Parents for Wag! Premium, (3) joining fees paid by Pet Caregivers to join and be listed on the platform, and (4) wellness revenue through affiliate fees paid by third-party service partners based on ‘revenue-per-action’ or conversion activity.

Our objective is to attract new Pet Parents to our platform, convert them into repeat bookers, and generate a lifetime of bookings from that Pet Parent. A significant portion of Pet Parents join our platform based on word-of-mouth. From the third quarter of 2019 to the fourth quarter of 2021, we saw more than 70% Organic Customer Acquisition, defined as the percentage of new Pet Parents who are not attributable to a paid marketing channel. To attract new Pet Parents and retain our existing Pet Parents, we offer a platform for services, including pre-scheduled and on-demand dog walking, drop-in visits at the Pet Parent’s home, pet boarding at a caregiver’s home, in-home pet sitting, in-home one-on-one dog training, and digital dog training. In the second quarter of 2020, we launched a service that enables Pet Parents to connect with a licensed pet expert around the clock through our platform for real-time advice on their pets’ behavior, health, and other needs. We also offer pet wellness plans and access to a pet insurance comparison tool, which enables Pet Parents to compare insurance quotes from top-rated insurance companies, including Lemonade, Pets Best, Embrace, Trupanion, PetPlan, and Prudent Pet. We introduced Wag! Premium in the first quarter of 2020. Wag! Premium is an annual or monthly subscription that offers 10% off all services booked as well as other features, like waived booking fees, free advice from licensed pet experts, priority access to top-rated Pet Caregivers, and VIP Pet Parent support. On average, Wag! Premium Pet Parents use the service 7 to 8 times per month, as compared to an average of 4 to 5 times per month for all Wag! users. In addition, the number of Wag! Premium subscribers has grown over 130% for the 12 months ended March 2022.

Repeated Bookings by Wag!’s Pet Parents

For many Pet Parents, leaving their pet alone creates stress and guilt, and the existing solutions are limited. Wag! was created because lonely pets deserve healthier and happier lives. For Pet Parents who are browsing, booking, and managing care on our platform for the first time, our goal is to delight them by anticipating and addressing their specific, unique needs. We aim to establish Wag! as a simple, reliable, on-demand option for Pet Parents.

Our platform allows Pet Parents to choose available on-demand services, the ability to pre-schedule a date and time for services that best suits their needs, and the option to schedule repeat services on a day and time that works for the foreseeable future. To facilitate trust and confidence in services, Pet Parents can start chatting with Pet Caregivers before booking a request and have the ability to browse through trusted caregivers after submitting a sitting or boarding request. Depending on the service, Pet Parents may also receive real-time pictures or videos of their pet enjoying time with local Pet Caregivers. Scheduling a pet

30

service on Wag! is as easy as a few keystrokes or taps on a phone, and the overall experience of booking and paying a Pet Caregiver is simple and intuitive for Pet Parents.

Foundation of Caregiving

Our success is built on the foundation of Pet Caregivers who have chosen to provide their services through us. Through our platform, Pet Caregivers can connect with a nationwide community of pets and Pet Parents. We provide Pet Caregivers flexibility and empowerment, and support their passion for pets. Some Pet Caregivers view the provision of pet care services as their full-time job. We support them by providing an additional avenue to build their pet care business and achieve meaningful income. Other Pet Caregivers simply love and enjoy caring for pets in addition to other avenues of employment. We support these more casual Pet Caregivers by providing them access to Pet Parents looking for pet care services, a means to earn some additional supplemental income, an enjoyable gig involving time outdoors and healthy habits, and flexibility in when and how they perform services. We give both full-time and casual Pet Caregivers the ability to share their love of pets with the Wag! pet community.

Competitive Strengths

We believe that we are uniquely positioned to leverage our core competitive strengths to help us to continue to deliver a compelling marketplace offering of pet services. In doing so, we will continue to differentiate ourselves from our competition and, as a result, will continue to provide a compelling value proposition to our Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers.

We view our strengths as falling into the following categories:

•

Proprietary and innovative technology platform.   Our technology platform was built to enable us to connect Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers. We own and operate all meaningful technology utilized in our business.

•

Large number of high-quality Pet Caregivers.   Pet Caregivers are attracted to the Wag! platform. With the ability to make money on their own time, Pet Caregivers enjoy the flexibility of choosing how and when they want to work — claiming a last-minute appointment or planning out an appointment weeks in advance. This is why over 400,000 Pet Caregivers are approved to provide services through Wag!.

•

High-quality pet services.   With over 11 million reviews, more than 96% of which have earned five stars, we lead the industry in quality. This is also represented by our Net Promoter Score, provided by an external experience management platform, which averages between 45 to 55 for Pet Caregivers and 65 to 70 for Pet Parents as of the third quarter of 2021.

•

Service offerings.   Our platform offers access to pet services to Pet Parents, more than many of our competitors provide. On our platform, we also offer access to differentiated services as compared to our competitors, such as both in-person and digital dog training, on-demand services, and our subscription service, Wag! Premium. We carefully examine demand in the market before we choose to roll out a new pet service option and continually evaluate the success of each service option with Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers.

•

Strong Pet Parent loyalty and word-of-mouth.   Since its inception in 2015, more than 12.1 million services have been delivered to pets and Pet Parents through the Wag! platform. Our continuous excellence in facilitating connections between pet, parent, and Pet Caregiver translates directly into advantages in our ability to retain Pet Parents. Based on an internal survey in 2018-2019, 90% of Pet Parents had never used a walker before signing up with Wag!.

•

Premier online destination for pet advice.   According to recent industry surveys, Wag! was the number one online Pets and Animals destination worldwide in the fourth quarter of 2021, with more than 4,200,000 monthly visitors.

Our Growth Strategies

As a leading marketplace for pet services, it is our mission to continue to find ways to help Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers. Simply put, we want to continue to help Pet Caregivers deploy their expertise more

31

efficiently and effectively, while at the same time helping Pet Parents make better and more informed decisions as quickly as they desire.

We are working to build the safest and most trusted pet service marketplace in the United States and internationally. To achieve this goal, we intend to continue to grow our business by pursuing the following strategies:

•

Accelerate growth in existing markets.   We believe that immense growth remains within our existing offerings and geographies. Over 95% of the U.S. population has access to Wag! and as of March 2022, 5.7 million Pet Parents have signed up for a Wag! account. One of the main drivers of our brand is word-of-mouth growth in local markets. With over 400,000 Pet Caregivers in 5,300 U.S. cities across all 50 states, we want to continue to increase bookings and services.

•

Expand subscription offerings.   Wag! Premium is an annual or monthly subscription that offers 10% off all services booked as well as waived booking fees, free advice from licensed pet experts, priority access to top-rated Pet Caregivers, and VIP Pet Parent support. We plan to introduce additional service options in the Wag! marketplace to further support pets, parents, and Pet Caregivers and drive significant revenue growth.

•

Platform expansion.   We aim to support Pet Parents with the #1 on-demand mobile first platform including through introducing additional services unique to the Wag! platform. For example, in the second quarter of 2020 we launched in-person and digital one-on-one dog training, and in February 2021 we expanded our platform to include cats and other pets.

•

International expansion.   We aim to support Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers around the world. Currently, Wag! operates in 5,300 U.S. cities across all 50 states, and we intend to expand into international markets in 2022.

•

Opportunistic mergers and acquisitions.   We believe that, over time, we can extend the value of Wag! with strategic acquisitions in the pet industry and others, including pet products, vet care, and technology to improve the efficiency and efficacy of the Wag! platform.

Foundation of Trust and Safety

Safety on every booking is important to us, and we are committed to reducing the number of incidents in the Wag! community. Because every furry family member deserves our best, we are dedicated to continually improving. Moreover, although infrequent, if things go wrong, we are committed to continually improving our effectiveness in responding. To bring peace of mind for Pet Parents, all Pet Caregivers are screened, background checked, and approved prior to being able to provide services on the Wag! platform. We also have a dedicated 24/7 support team to assist pets, their parents, and Pet Caregivers around the clock and convenient tools for Pet Parents to get real-time information about their pets during a service.

Employees

As of March 2022, we had 71 full-time employees in the United States. Our employees are allocated across our groups as follows: 20 in corporate, 22 in customer experience, 23 in product and engineering, and 6 in marketing. We also engage contractors and consultants. None of our employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement or represented by a labor union and we have not experienced any work stoppages as a result of any labor or employment disputes. We consider our relationships with our employees to be in good health.

All Pet Caregivers using the Wag! platform are independent contractors. All caregivers must agree to our Terms of Service as well as enter into an Independent Contractor Agreement to use the platform.

Technology and Infrastructure

Our technology platform is designed to provide an efficient marketplace experience across our website and mobile apps. Our technology vision is to build and deliver secure, flexible, scalable systems, tools, and products that exceed our expectations for Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers alike, as well as accelerate growth and improve productivity.

32

Our booking platform connects to the front-end customer web and mobile users, as well as to our support operations team. This platform also connects to our data science platform. We collect and secure information generated from user activity and use machine learning to continuously improve our booking systems. We have a common platform that allows us to seamlessly internationalize our product, integrate images and videos, use experiments to optimize user experience, test product improvements in real time, monitor our site reliability, and rapidly respond to incidents. Finally, our core booking platform connects to leading third-party vendors for communications, payment processing, IT operations management, as well as background checks.

We focus on user experience, quality, consistency, reliability, and efficiency when developing our software. We are also investing in continuously improving our data privacy, data protection, and security foundations, and we continually review and update our related policies and practices.

Intellectual Property

We rely on a combination of state, federal, and common-law rights and trade secret, trademark, and copyright laws in the United States and other jurisdictions together with confidentiality agreements, contractual restrictions, and technical measures to protect the confidentiality of our proprietary rights. To protect our trade secrets, we control access to our proprietary systems and technology and enter into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with our employees and consultants and confidentiality agreements with other third-parties in order to limit access to, and disclosure and use of, our confidential and proprietary technology and to preserve our rights thereto. We also have registered and unregistered trademarks for the names of many of our products and services, and we are the registrant of the domain registrations for all of our material websites.

Support Operations

Our support team assists Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers with bookings, safety issues, and questions concerning any pet services. Because we are committed to the safety and happiness of all pets on our platform, and peace of mind for Pet Parents, we offer 24/7 assistance to our entire community.

Marketing

Our marketing strategy is focused on attracting Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers to our marketplace. We depend on paid marketing, organic marketing and brand marketing strategies, along with creating virality and word-of-mouth acquisition through our product experience. Through our blog, The Daily Wag!, existing Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers, and media, we attract new users to our marketplace. Wag! is top-ranking in the Travel and Local (Google Play) and Travel (iOS) categories for key search terms through App Store optimization and strong consumer rankings and reviews. In addition, our website sees more than six million visitors per month in the first quarter of 2022 from direct or unpaid traffic sources, the majority of which come from our search engine optimization efforts. From the third quarter of 2019 to the fourth quarter of 2021, we saw 70% Organic Customer Acquisition.

Facilities

Our corporate headquarters is located in San Francisco, California, pursuant to an operating lease that expires in August 2023. We lease additional office space in Phoenix, Arizona and Mountain View, California. We believe that these facilities are generally suitable to meet our needs. From time to time, we have subleased portions of the spaces that we are not currently using.

Competitors

The markets in which we operate are highly fragmented. We face multiple competitors across different categories, and our competitors vary in both size and breadth of services. We expect competition to continue, both from current competitors, who may be well-established and enjoy greater resources or other strategic advantages, as well as new entrants into the market, some of which may become significant competitors in the future. Our main competitors include:

33

•

Family, friends, and neighbors.   Our largest competitive dynamic remains the people to whom Pet Parents go for pet care within their personal networks.

•

Local independent professionals.   Local small businesses and independent professionals often operate at small scale with little to no online presence, primarily relying on word of mouth and marketing solutions such as flyers and local ads. As a Pet Parent, it is difficult to know where to find reliable information, who to call, and who to trust.

•

Large, commercial providers.   Large commercial providers, such as kennels and daycares, often struggle to meet the individual needs of Pet Parents and their pets. Such providers can be expensive, and their facilities are often crowded, inducing stress in some pets and leading Pet Parents to question the quality of care their pets receive.

•

Online aggregators and directories.   Pet Parents can also access general purpose online aggregators and directories, such as Craigslist, Nextdoor, or Yelp, to find pet care providers. However, Pet Parents may lack trust in these directories, or find it difficult to find an available and appropriate pet care provider

•

Other digital marketplaces.   We compete with companies such as Rover and the pet care offering on Care.com. We differentiate ourselves with the breadth of our pet service options and simplicity in booking. For example, Wag! is the only marketplace to offer on-demand booking for dog walking and drop-in visits at the Pet Parent’s home, enabling Pet Parents to find a local Pet Caregiver in less than 15 minutes. In addition, our monthly subscription, Wag! Premium, enables Pet Parents to receive a suite of platform features including discounts on additional services, such as boarding, sitting, and training. Finally, through our Wag! Wellness suite of services, Pet Parents can chat with a licensed pet expert 24/7.

Data Privacy, Data Protection and Security

Our privacy and information security program is reasonably designed and implemented, both within our internal systems and on our platform, in an effort to address the security and compliance requirements of personal or otherwise regulated data related to Pet Parents, Pet Caregivers, and our employees. We have a team of professionals that focuses on technical measures such as application, network, and system security, as well as policy measures related to privacy compliance, internal training and education, business continuity, and documented incident response protocols. Further, we design and implement our platform, offerings, and policies to facilitate compliance with evolving privacy, data protection, and data security laws and regulations, as well as to demonstrate respect for the privacy and data protection rights of our users and employees.

Government Regulation

We are subject to a wide variety of laws, regulations, and standards in the United States and other jurisdictions. These laws, regulations, and standards govern issues such as worker classification, labor and employment, anti-discrimination, payments, pricing, whistleblowing and worker confidentiality obligations, animal and human health and safety, text messaging, subscription services, intellectual property, insurance producer licensing and market conduct, consumer protection and warnings, marketing, product liability, environmental protection, taxation, privacy, data protection, data security, competition, unionizing and collective action, arbitration agreements and class action waiver provisions, terms of service, e-commerce, mobile application and website accessibility, money transmittal, and background checks. These laws, regulations, and standards are often complex and subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity or unclear applicability, and as a result, their application in practice may change or develop over time through judicial decisions or as new guidance or interpretations are provided by regulatory and governing bodies, such as federal, state, and local administrative agencies. Noncompliance with state insurance statutes or regulations may subject Wag! to regulatory action by the relevant state insurance regulator, and, in certain states, private litigation.

National, state, and local governmental authorities have enacted or pursued, and may in the future enact and pursue, measures designed to regulate the “gig economy.” For example, in 2019, the California Assembly passed AB-5, which codified a narrow worker classification test that has had the effect of treating

34

many “gig economy” workers as employees. AB-5 includes a referral agency exemption that specifically applies to animal services and dog walking and grooming, and we believe that Wag! falls within this exemption.

In addition, other jurisdictions could adopt similar laws that do not include such carve outs and which, if applied to Wag!’s platform, could adversely impact its availability and our business.

Other types of new laws and regulations, and changes to existing laws and regulations, continue to be adopted, implemented, and interpreted in response to our business and related technologies. For instance, state and local governments have in the past pursued, or may in the future pursue or enact, licensing, zoning, or other regulation that impacts the ability of individuals to provide home-based pet care.

One of our subsidiaries operates pet insurance comparison engine webpages. This subsidiary is not an underwriter of insurance risk nor does it act in the capacity of an insurance company. Rather, it is licensed and regulated as an insurance producer. On its website, the subsidiary may refer its customers to options for pet insurance plans provided and sold through unaffiliated third parties, including through unaffiliated insurance carriers. The subsidiary’s insurance comparison search feature provides hyperlinks by which consumers are connected with a pet insurance provider’s website to purchase an insurance plan. Each state has its own insurance statutes and regulations and applicable regulatory agency. Generally, each state requires insurers and insurance producers to be licensed in that state. Our subsidiary maintains insurance producer licenses in each state in which it operates. The subsidiary’s website declares that it is neither an underwriter nor an insurer, specifically to highlight that it is not in the business of underwriting insurance plans. All insurance plans referred to by the subsidiary through its insurance comparison search feature are provided by third-party insurance companies. The subsidiary accepts neither premium payments from consumers nor responsibility for paying any amounts on claims.

Debt Financing and Equity Commitments

In connection with entering into the Business Combination Agreement, on February 2, 2022, CHW entered into a definitive commitment letter with Blue Torch Capital LP (together with its affiliated funds and any other parties providing a commitment thereunder, including any additional lenders, agents, arrangers or other parties joined thereto after the date thereof, collectively, the “Debt Financing Sources”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Debt Financing Sources agreed to fund a $30 million senior secured Credit Facility. The lender will additionally be granted warrants to purchase 5% of shares of common stock as of the Acquisition Closing Date at an exercise price of $11.50 per share with terms similar to CHW’s public warrants. The closing and funding of the Credit Facility will occur in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. Upon closing, Wag! will be the primary borrower under the Credit Facility, New Wag! will be a parent guarantor and substantially all of Wag!’s existing and future subsidiaries will be subsidiary guarantors (subject to certain customary exceptions). The Credit Facility will be secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all assets of the borrower and the guarantors (subject to certain customary exceptions).

The Credit Facility will bear interest at a floating rate of interest equal to, at the borrower’s option, LIBOR plus 10.00% per annum or the base rate plus 9.00% per annum, with the base rate defined as the greatest of (i) the prime rate announced by the Wall Street Journal from time to time, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.00%. LIBOR will be subject to a floor of 1.00% per annum, and the base rate will be subject to a floor of 2.00% per annum. The definitive documentation for the Credit Facility will include customary provisions for the replacement of LIBOR with an acceptable benchmark replacement rate if and when LIBOR is no longer available for borrowings under the Credit Facility. Interest will be payable in arrears at the end of each LIBOR (or other appropriate published rate) interest period (but at least every three (3) months) for LIBOR borrowings and quarterly in arrears for base rate borrowings. During the existence of certain events of default under the Credit Facility, overdue amounts will bear default rate interest at the rate then applicable plus 2.00% per annum.

The Credit Facility will mature three (3) years after the date of closing and will be subject to quarterly amortization payments of principal, in an aggregate amount equal to 2.00% of the principal amount of the Credit Facility in the first year after closing, 3.00% of the principal amount of the Credit Facility in the second year after closing and 5.00% of the principal amount of the Credit Facility in the third year after closing. The remaining outstanding principal balance of the Credit Facility will be due and payable in full on

35

the maturity date. In addition to scheduled amortization payments, the Credit Facility will contain customary mandatory prepayment provisions that will require principal prepayments of the Credit Facility upon certain triggering events, including receipt of asset sale proceeds outside of the ordinary course of business, receipt of certain insurance proceeds, receipt of proceeds of non-permitted debt and receipt of other extraordinary payments. The Credit Facility may also be voluntarily prepaid at any time, subject to the payment of a prepayment premium equal to an interest make-whole payment plus 3.00% of the principal amount of such prepayment in the first year after closing, 2.00% of the principal amount of such prepayment in the second year after closing, and 0% thereafter.

The Credit Facility will be subject to customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, financial reporting requirements, negative covenants and events of default. The negative covenants included in the definitive documentation for the Credit Facility will impose restrictions on the ability of the borrower, the guarantors and their subsidiaries to incur indebtedness, grant liens, make investments, make acquisitions, declare and pay restricted payments, prepay junior or subordinated debt, sell assets and enter into transactions with affiliates, in each case, subject to certain customary exceptions. In addition, the Credit Facility will require compliance with certain financial covenants, specifically a monthly minimum revenue covenant and a minimum liquidity covenant.

On January 28, 2022, Wag! entered into a series of subscription agreements (the “Series P Subscription Agreements”) with certain institutional and other accredited investors (the “Series P Investors”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Series P Investors purchased an aggregate of 1,100,000 shares of Series P Preferred Stock (the “Series P Shares”) at a cash purchase price of $10.00 per share, resulting in aggregate proceeds to Wag! of $11 million (the “Series P Investment”). The Series P Investments closed prior to the Closing.

On February 2, 2022, CHW entered into the PIPE and Backstop Subscription Agreement with a certain qualified institutional buyer (the “PIPE and Backstop Investor”), as modified and supplemented by that certain side letter agreement between CHW and the PIPE and Backstop Investor, dated June 30, 2022, pursuant to which, among other things, the PIPE and Backstop Investor party thereto agreed to purchase from CHW, and not in the open market, an aggregate of up to 500,000 shares of common stock following the Domestication and substantially concurrent with the Closing at a cash purchase price of $10.00 per share, resulting in aggregate proceeds of $5 million (the “PIPE and Backstop Investment”). The PIPE and Backstop Investment is expected to close immediately prior to the Closing. The PIPE and Backstop Investor is not an “affiliate” as defined in Rule 14e-5.

The PIPE and Backstop Subscription Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of CHW and the PIPE and Backstop Investor and are subject to customary closing conditions (including, without limitation, that there is no amendment or modification to the Business Combination Agreement that is material and adverse to the PIPE and Backstop Investor) and termination rights (including a termination right if the transactions contemplated by the PIPE and Backstop Subscription Agreement have not been consummated by November 6, 2022, other than as a result of breach by the terminating party). Entering into both a Credit Facility and a PIPE and Backstop Investment is currently not a common financing mechanism for a SPAC business combination transaction.

There are important differences between the rights of holders of shares of common stock and holders of CHW ordinary shares. See “The Domestication Proposal — Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholders” for a discussion of the different rights associated with holding these securities. In addition, the CHW ordinary shares were originally sold in the CHW IPO as a component of the CHW units for $10.00 per unit. The CHW units consist of one ordinary share and one redeemable CHW warrant.

For more information regarding the PIPE and Backstop Investment, see the section entitled “The Business Combination Agreement — Related Agreements — PIPE and Backstop Subscription Agreement.” See also the PIPE and Backstop Subscription Agreement attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex G, as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented or waived from time to time in accordance with its terms.

CHW Extraordinary Meeting and the Proposals

The Special Meeting will be held at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on July 28, 2022, at the offices of McDermott Will & Emery LLP, located at One Vanderbilt Avenue, New York, New York 10017, or such

36

other date, time, and place to which such meeting may be adjourned. In light of the novel coronavirus pandemic and to support the well-being of CHW’s shareholders, directors and officers, CHW encourages you to use remote methods of attending the Special Meeting or to attend via proxy. You may attend the Special Meeting and vote your shares electronically during the Special Meeting via live webcast by visiting www.cleartrustonline.com/CHWA. You will need the meeting control number that is printed on your proxy card to enter the Special Meeting. At the Special Meeting, CHW’s shareholders will be asked to approve the Domestication Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, Organizational Documents Proposal, the Advisory Charter Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal (if necessary).

The CHW board of directors has fixed the close of business on June 28, 2022 (the “record date”) as the record date for determining the holders of CHW ordinary shares entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting. As of the record date, there were 15,687,500 CHW ordinary shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. Each share of CHW ordinary shares entitles the holder to one vote at the Special Meeting on each proposal to be considered at the Special Meeting. As of the record date, the Sponsor and CHW’s directors and officers and their affiliates owned and were entitled to vote 2,405,000 shares of CHW ordinary shares, representing approximately 15% of the shares of CHW ordinary shares outstanding on that date. CHW currently expects that the Sponsor and its directors and officers will vote their shares in favor of the Shareholder Proposals and, pursuant to the IPO Letter Agreement and the CHW Founders Stock Letter, the Sponsor and directors and officers have agreed to do so. As of the record date, Wag! did not beneficially hold any shares of CHW ordinary shares.

A majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding CHW ordinary shares entitled to vote at the Special Meeting must be present, in person or virtually or represented by proxy, at the Special Meeting to constitute a quorum and in order to conduct business at the Special Meeting.

Approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, vote at the Special Meeting. Approval of the Domestication Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposal and the Advisory Charter Proposals require a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, vote at the Special Meeting. Approval of the Advisory Charter Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal (if necessary) each requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, vote at the Special Meeting.

The Business Combination is conditioned upon the approval of the Domestication Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal and the ESPP Proposal subject to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. The Business Combination is not conditioned on the Advisory Charter Proposals or the Adjournment Proposal. If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the other Shareholder Proposals (except the Adjournment Proposal) will not be presented to the shareholders for a vote.

Recommendation of CHW’s Board of Directors

CHW’s board of directors has determined that the Business Combination Proposal is in the best interests of CHW and its shareholders, has approved the Business Combination Proposal, and recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the Domestication Proposal, “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the Organizational Documents Proposal, “FOR” each of the Advisory Charter Proposals, “FOR” the Nasdaq Proposal, “FOR” for the Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal, “FOR” the ESPP Proposal and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, in each case, if presented to the Special Meeting.

CHW’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for Approval of the Business Combination

On February 1, 2022, the CHW Board (i) determined that the Business Combination and the transactions contemplated thereby are fair to, and in the best interests of, CWH and its stockholders, (ii) approved and adopted the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby

37

and declared their advisability and (iii) directed that the Business Combination Agreement, related transaction documentation and other Shareholder Proposals be submitted to CHW’s shareholders for approval and adoption, and recommended that CHW’s shareholders approve and adopt the Business Combination Agreement, related transaction documentation and such other Shareholder Proposals. In light of the number and wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination, the Board did not consider it practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors that it considered in reaching its determination and supporting its decision. The CHW board of directors did not seek to obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with their determination to approve the Business Combination. The CHW board of directors viewed its decision as being based on all of the information available and the factors presented and considered by it. In addition, individual directors may have given different weight to different factors. For more information, see the section entitled “The Business Combination Agreement — CHW Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination.” This explanation of CHW’s reasons for the Business Combination and all other information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Consistent with its investment philosophy and strategy, CHW planned to identify target companies in the consumer industry that are positioned for growth and where we can add value through margin enhancement, the ability to capitalize on market trends, and advancing business-to-business relationships. These criteria were not intended to be exhaustive, and the evaluation relating to the merits of CHW’s initial business combination would be based, to the extent relevant, on these general guidelines as well as other considerations, factors and criteria that CHW’s management team deemed relevant. In considering the Business Combination with Wag!, the Board concluded that it met all of the above criteria.

The Board also gave consideration to certain risks related to the Business Combination, which are described in this proxy statement/prospectus under the caption “Risk Factors”.

Certain Regulatory Approvals

The parties will use their respective reasonable best efforts to promptly file all notices, reports and other documents required to be filed by such party with any governmental authority with respect to the Business Combination, and to submit promptly any additional information requested by any such governmental authority. The parties will use their respective reasonable best efforts to promptly obtain all authorizations, approvals, clearances, consents, actions or non-actions of any governmental authority in connection with the applicable filings, applications or notifications. Each party will promptly inform the other parties of any material communication between itself or its representatives and any governmental authority regarding the Business Combination. If a party or any of its affiliates receives any request for supplemental information or documentary material from any governmental authority with respect to the Business Combination, then the party, to the extent necessary and advisable, shall provide a reasonable response to such request as promptly as reasonably practicable.

Conditions to Closing

The Closing is subject to certain customary conditions, including, among other things: (i) the approval of the Business Combination and other matters by CHW’s shareholders; (ii) the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and receipt of certain additional regulatory approvals; (iii) the Available Cash Amount (as defined herein) equaling no less than $30 million at the Closing (pro forma for any payments required to be made in connection with the Business Combination); (iv) (x) fundamental representations and warranties (which includes Organization, Due Authorization, Holding Company; Ownership and Brokers’ Fees) bring down conditions to an “all material respects” standard, (y) general representations and warranties bring down conditions to a “material adverse effect” standard and (z) capitalization representation bring down condition to a “de minimis” standard; (v) covenant bring down conditions to an “all material respects” standard; (vi) the absence of a material adverse effect on the respective parties; and (vii) the effectiveness of this registration statement and the listing of New Wag! common stock to be issued in the Business Combination on Nasdaq. To the extent permitted by law, the conditions in the Business Combination Agreement may be waived by the parties thereto.

38

Termination

The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated by CHW or Wag! under certain circumstances, including, among others, (i) by mutual written consent of Wag! and CHW, (ii) by either CHW or Wag! if the Acquisition Merger Effective Time shall not have occurred prior to August 8, 2022, (iii) by either Wag! or CHW if any of the Required SPAC Proposals, as defined in the Business Combination Agreement, fail to receive the requisite vote for approval at the Extraordinary General Meeting of CHW’s Shareholders’, or (iv) by a Terminating Company Breach or Terminating SPAC Breach, each as defined in the Business Combination Agreement. See Article IX of the Business Combination Agreement.

Date, Time and Place of Extraordinary General Meeting of CHW’s Shareholders

The Special Meeting will be held on July 28, 2022, at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time, at the offices of McDermott Will & Emery LLP, located at One Vanderbilt Avenue, New York, New York 10017, or such other date, time, and place to which such meeting may be adjourned. In light of the novel coronavirus pandemic and to support the well-being of CHW’s shareholders, directors and officers, CHW encourages you to use remote methods of attending the Special Meeting or to attend via proxy. You may attend the Special Meeting and vote your shares electronically during the Special Meeting via live webcast by visiting www.cleartrustonline.com/CHWA. You will need the meeting control number that is printed on your proxy card to enter the Special Meeting.

Voting Power; Record Date

CHW has fixed the close of business on June 28, 2022 as the “record date” for determining CHW shareholders entitled to notice of and to attend and vote at the extraordinary general meeting. As of the close of business on the record date, there were 15,687,500 CHW ordinary shares outstanding and entitled to vote. Each CHW ordinary share is entitled to one vote per share at the extraordinary general meeting. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly voted.

Quorum and Vote of CHW Shareholders

A quorum of CHW shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting of shareholders. The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of at least 50% of the ordinary shares entitled to vote constitutes a quorum.

The approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Advisory Charter Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, respectively, requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by CHW’s shareholders present in person (virtually) or represented by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting and entitled to vote on such matter (and absent shareholders, shareholders who are present but do not vote, blanks and abstentions are not counted).

The approval of each of the Domestication Proposal and the Organizational Documents Proposal requires a special resolution, being the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes cast by CHW’s shareholders present in person (virtually) or represented by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting and entitled to vote on such matter (and absent shareholders, shareholders who are present but do not vote, blanks and abstentions are not counted).

Of the 15,687,500 CHW ordinary shares outstanding and entitled to vote, approximately 15% are owned and entitled to be voted by the Sponsor and CHW’s directors and executive officers and their affiliates. CHW’s directors and executive officers and any affiliates have agreed to vote any CHW ordinary shares held by them in favor of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. For approval of the proposed transaction, at least one-quarter of the ordinary shares entitled to vote must be voted in favor of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Advisory Charter Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal, and the Adjournment Proposal, respectively, and one-third of the ordinary shares entitled to vote must be voted in favor of the Domestication Proposal and the Organizational Documents Proposal, assuming only the minimum number of voting shares needed to establish a quorum are voted.

39

Redemption Rights

Public shareholders may seek to redeem the public shares that they hold, regardless of whether they vote for the Business Combination, against the Business Combination or do not vote in relation to the Business Combination. Any public shareholder may request redemption of their public shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, 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, including interest (less taxes paid or payable, if any, and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares. If a holder properly seeks redemption as described in this section and the Business Combination is consummated, the holder will no longer own these shares following the Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such holder or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group” ​(as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to 15% or more of the public shares. Accordingly, if a public shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

CHW’s initial shareholders will not have redemption rights with respect to any ordinary shares owned by them, directly or indirectly.

You will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:

(i)

hold (a) public shares or (b) units and you elect to separate your units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares; and

(ii)

prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on July 26, 2022, (a) submit a written request to the transfer agent that CHW redeem your public shares for cash and (b) deliver your share certificates for your public shares (if any) to the transfer agent, physically or electronically through DTC.

Any request to redeem public shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests and thereafter, with CHW’s consent, until the closing of the Business Combination. If CHW receives valid redemption requests from holders of public shares prior to the redemption deadline, CHW may, at its sole discretion, following the redemption deadline and until the date of Closing, seek and permit withdrawals by one or more of such holders of their redemption requests. CHW may select which holders to seek such withdrawals of redemption requests from based on any factors we may deem relevant, and the purpose of seeking such withdrawals may be to increase the funds held in the Trust Account, including where CHW otherwise would not satisfy the closing condition that the amount in the Trust Account and the proceeds from the Series P Investment, PIPE and Backstop Investment and Debt Financing equal or exceed $30 million, following payment of the aggregate amount of cash proceeds that will be required to satisfy any redemptions and payment of all transaction expenses. If you delivered your public shares for redemption to the transfer agent and decide within the required timeframe not to exercise your redemption rights, you may request that the transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting CHW’s transfer agent at the email address or address listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below. If the Business Combination is not approved or completed for any reason, then CHW’s public shareholders who elected to exercise their redemption rights will not be entitled to redeem their shares. In such case, CHW will promptly return any shares previously delivered by public holders.

If a public shareholder exercises its redemption rights, then it will be exchanging its redeemed public shares for cash and will no longer own those public shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for your public shares only if (a) you properly exercise your right to redeem the public shares that you will hold upon the Domestication, no later than the close of the vote on the Business Combination Proposal, and deliver your ordinary shares (either physically or electronically) to the transfer agent, prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on July 26, 2022, and (b) the Business Combination is consummated.

40

In order for public shareholders to exercise their redemption rights in respect of the Business Combination, public shareholders must properly exercise their right to redeem the public shares that you will hold upon the Domestication No later than the close of the vote on the Business Combination Proposal and deliver their ordinary shares (either physically or electronically) to the transfer agent, prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time on July 26, 2022. Therefore, the exercise of redemption rights occurs prior to the Domestication. For the purposes of Article 48.5 of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of CHW and Cayman Islands law, the exercise of redemption rights shall be treated as an election to have such public shares repurchased for cash and references in this proxy statement/prospectus shall be interpreted accordingly. Immediately following the Domestication and the consummation of the Business Combination, public shareholders who properly exercised their redemption rights in respect of their public shares shall be paid.

No Appraisal Rights

CHW’s shareholders will not have appraisal rights under Cayman Islands law or otherwise in connection with the Business Combination Proposal or the other Shareholder Proposals.

Proxy Solicitation

Proxies may be solicited by mail, telephone or in person. CHW has engaged Advantage Proxy, Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies. If a shareholder grants a proxy, it may still vote its shares in person if it revokes its proxy before the Special Meeting. A shareholder also may change its vote by submitting a later-dated proxy as described in the section entitled “The Extraordinary General Meeting — Revoking Your Proxy.”

Interests of CHW’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination

In considering the recommendation of the board of directors of CHW to vote in favor of approval of the Domestication Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposal and the other Shareholder Proposals, shareholders should keep in mind that the Sponsor and certain members of the board of directors and officers of CHW and the Sponsor, including its directors and officers, have interests in such Shareholder Proposals that are different from, or in addition to, those of CHW’s shareholders generally. In particular:

•

If CHW does not consummate a business combination by December 1, 2022 (unless such date is extended in accordance with the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association), it would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming all of the outstanding ordinary shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating, subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, the 12,500,000 ordinary shares would be worthless because following the redemption of the public shares, CHW would likely have few, if any, net assets and because the holders of our founder shares have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the founder shares if we fail to complete a Business Combination within the required period.

•

The Sponsor purchased the founder shares prior to our initial public offering for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.009 per share. The Sponsor currently holds 2,405,000 founder shares. Such shares, if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had aggregate market value of $23,809,500 based upon the closing price of $9.90 per public share on Nasdaq on June 28, 2022, the record date. Given such shares will be subject to lock-up restrictions, we believe such shares have less value.

•

Sponsor purchased 4,238,636 private placement warrants, each exercisable to purchase one ordinary share at $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, at a price of $1.00 per warrant, and such private placement warrants will expire and be worthless if a business combination is not consummated within 15 months of the consummation of the IPO (unless such date is extended in accordance with the Existing Organizational Documents). Such warrants, if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had aggregate market value of $762,954.48 based upon the closing price of $0.18 per public warrants

41

on Nasdaq on June 28, 2022, the record date. Given such warrants will be subject to lock-up restrictions, we believe such shares have less value.

•

Sponsor and CHW’s officers and directors will lose their entire investment in CHW if an initial business combination is not completed within 15 months from the closing of the IPO.

•

Sponsor and CHW’s officers and directors can earn a positive rate of return on their investment, even if other CHW shareholders experience a negative rate of return in the post-business combination company.

•

Following the Closing, Sponsor would be entitled to the repayment of an outstanding working capital loan and advances that have been made to CHW. The Sponsor agreed to loan to CHW up to $1,500,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of CHW. These loans are non-interest bearing, unsecured and are due upon consummation of an initial business combination. As of March 31, 2022, there was no amount outstanding under the January 18, 2021 promissory note, and there were no other working capital loans outstanding. If CHW fails to complete an initial business combination by December 1, 2022, CHW may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the working capital loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account can be used to repay the working capital loans.

•

Jonah Raskas and Mark Grundman, co-chief executive officers of CHW may be deemed to have or share beneficial ownership of the founder shares and private placement warrants held directly by the Sponsor by virtue of their ownership interest in the manager of the Sponsor.

•

CHW’s existing directors and officers will be eligible for continued indemnification and continued coverage under CHW’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for a period of six years after the Business Combination.

•

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to CHW if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to CHW, or a prospective target business with which CHW has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of CHW’s initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

•

Following consummation of the Business Combination, Sponsor, our officers and directors and their respective affiliates would be entitled to reimbursement for certain reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and consummating an initial business combination, and repayment of any other loans, if any, and on such terms as to be determined by CHW from time to time, made by Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination. However, if CHW fails to consummate a business combination within the required period, Sponsor and CHW’s officers and directors and their respective affiliates will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. However, there have been no material out-of-pocket expenses subject to reimbursement to date and CHW does not anticipate any such expenses prior to Closing;

•

Up to an aggregate amount of $1,500,000 of any amounts outstanding under any working capital loans made by Sponsor or any of its affiliates to CHW may be converted into CHW warrants to purchase CHW ordinary shares at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender;

•

Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, New Wag! grants CHW Founder Shareholders certain customary demand, shelf and piggyback registration rights with respect to their shares of New Wag! common stock.

•

Under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, following the Acquisition Closing, in the event that New Wag! conducts a tender offer or other redemption, termination or cancellation of the assumed CHW warrants, each of (x) the CHW Founder Shareholders, collectively, and (y) certain members of New Wag’s management, collectively, shall be entitled to receive five percent (5%) of any cash proceeds actually received by New Wag as a result of the exercise of any such assumed CHW warrants in connection with such redemption.

42

Certain Engagements in Connection with the Transaction and Related Transactions

In addition to the interests of CHW’s directors and officers in the Business Combination, shareholders should be aware that Chardan has financial interests that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of our shareholders.

Chardan was an underwriter in CHW’s IPO. In connection with the IPO, CHW issued to the designees of Chardan 62,500 ordinary shares as representative shares with an estimated fair value of $7.362 per share ($460,125 in the aggregate) based upon the price of the Founder Shares issued to the anchor investors. Upon consummation of the Transaction, Chardan is entitled to a deferred underwriting commission of $4,375,000. Chardan agreed to waive (pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and for no further consideration) its rights to the deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account in the event CHW does not complete an initial business combination within 15 months of the closing of the CHW IPO. Accordingly, if the Business Combination or any other initial business combination, is not consummated by that time and CHW is therefore required to be liquidated, Chardan, will not receive any of the deferred underwriting commission and such funds will be returned to CHW’s public stockholders upon its liquidation. If an initial business combination is not consummated by CHW, Chardan would also lose the value of certain shares and other rights it received in the closing of CHW’s IPO, as disclosed in CHW’s IPO prospectus.

Chardan therefore has an interest in CHW completing a business combination that will result in the payment of the deferred underwriting commission to Chardan as the underwriter of the CHW IPO. In considering the approval of the Business Combination, the CHW shareholders should consider the roles of Chardan in light of the deferred underwriting commission Chardan is entitled to receive if the Business Combination is consummated within 15 months of the closing of CHW’s IPO and the other benefits that Chardan would retain upon CHW’s consummation of a business combination.

In connection with the Business Combination, CHW also engaged Chardan to act as its lead financial advisor and capital markets advisor; however, no fees were payable to Chardan in such capacity.

Wag! continually evaluates strategic investments, partnership opportunities, and potential acquisition opportunities. If the cost of such opportunities are significant, for example ranging for $10-$50 million, Wag! will evaluate funding the opportunity via its cash on hand or by raising debt or equity financings (which could include short or long term debt, new common or preferred equity issuances or an equity line of credit). There are no assurances that these sources of funding will be available to Wag! or that Wag! will draw upon them to fund its opportunities and growth plan.

Stock Exchange Listing

We expect to list the shares of New Wag! common stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock on Nasdaq under the proposed symbols “PET” and “PETW”, respectively.

Sources and Uses of Funds for the Business Combination

The following tables summarize the estimated sources and uses for funding the Business Combination assuming (i) that none of CHW’s outstanding ordinary shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination (“No Redemptions”), (ii) that 6.25 million outstanding ordinary shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination (representing 50% of the outstanding public shares (“50% Redemptions”)), and (iii) that 12.5 million outstanding ordinary shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination (representing all the outstanding public shares (“Maximum Redemptions”)). The number of ordinary shares redeemable assuming Maximum Redemptions assumes that the per share Redemption Price is $10.00; the actual per share Redemption Price will be equal to the pro rata portion of the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.

The foregoing has been prepared using the following assumptions:

•

Assuming No Redemptions:   This “minimum scenario” presentation assumes that none of the 12,500,000 public shares outstanding as of the record date are redeemed by CHW’s public shareholders.

•

Assuming 50% Redemptions: This presentation assumes that CHW’s public shareholders redeem 50%, or 6,250,000 shares of CHW’s ordinary shares. This calculation assumes that the full $5 million in aggregate proceeds are received from the PIPE and Backstop Investment and that the amount in the Trust Account (prior to any redemptions) is equal to $62.5 million (approximately 50% of the amount in the Trust Account as of March 31, 2022), resulting in an aggregate redemption payment (based on an estimated redemption price per share of approximately $10) of $62.5 million.

•

Assuming Maximum Redemptions:   This presentation assumes that CHW’s public shareholders redeem 12,500,000 shares of CHW’s ordinary shares. This calculation assumes that the full $5 million in aggregate proceeds are received from the PIPE and Backstop Investment and that the amount in the Trust Account (prior to any redemptions) is equal to $125 million (approximately the amount in the Trust Account as of March 31, 2022), resulting in an aggregate redemption payment (based on an estimated redemption price per share of approximately $10) of $125 million.

•

Transaction Costs:   include $9.5 million and $4.4 in legal and other fees for Wag! and CHW, repectively, as well as $4.4 million of deferred underwriting fees related to CHW’s IPO.

For additional information, including the assumptions underlying the Assuming No Redemptions, 50% Redemptions, the and Maximum Redemptions scenarios presented above, see “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”

Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholder Rights

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, the rights of CHW shareholders who become New Wag! stockholders in the Business Combination will no longer be governed by the Existing Organizational Documents and instead will be governed by the Proposed Charter and the Proposed Bylaws of New Wag!. See “The Domestication Proposal — Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholders.”

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

For a discussion summarizing the U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Domestication and exercise of redemption rights, please see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

Expected Accounting Treatment

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Under this method of accounting, CHW will be treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Wag! issuing shares for the net assets of CHW, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of CHW will be recognized at historical cost (which is expected to be consistent with carrying value), with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. This determination is primarily based on Wag! stockholders comprising a relative majority of the voting power of New Wag! and having the ability to nominate a majority of the members of the Board of New Wag! Wag!’s operations, and Wag!’s senior management comprising the senior management of New Wag!. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of New Wag! will represent a continuation of the financial statements of Wag! with the Business Combination being treated as the equivalent of Wag! issuing stock for the net assets of CHW, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of CHW will be stated at historical costs, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Acquisition Merger will be presented as those of Wag! in future reports of New Wag!.

There will be no accounting effect or change in the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities of the Company as a result of the U.S. Domestication. The business, capitalization and liabilities of the Company immediately following the U.S. Domestication will be the same as those immediately prior to the U.S. Domestication. There will also not be any accounting impact regarding the change in par value in the shares of the Company as a result of the U.S. Domestication.

Regulatory Matters

The Domestication, the Acquisition Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are not subject to any additional U.S. federal or state regulatory requirements or approvals, or any regulatory requirements or approvals under the laws of the Cayman Islands, except for the registration by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands of the plans of merger.

Emerging Growth Company

CHW 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 an emerging growth 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 an election to opt out is irrevocable. CHW 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, CHW, 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 CHW’s financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Risk Factors

In evaluating the proposals to be presented at the Special Meeting, a shareholder should carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus and especially consider the factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

Summary of Risk Factors

You should consider carefully all of the risks described below, together with the other information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, before voting on the Shareholder Proposals. For purposes of the below summary of risk factors, “we” and “our” refers to Wag! or New Wag!, as the context may require. Such risks include, but are not limited to:

•

We may be subject to cybersecurity risks and changes to data protection regulation;

•

We face increasing competition in many aspects of our business;

•

We may not realize the anticipated benefits of our business acquisitions, and any acquisition, strategic relationship, joint venture or investment could disrupt our business and harm our operating results and financial condition;

•

If we are unable to manage our growth and expand our operations successfully, our reputation, brands, business and results of operations may be harmed;

•

We are subject to risks related to our dependency on our key management members and other key personnel, as well as attracting, retaining and developing qualified personnel in a highly competitive talent market;

•

We may be subject to litigation risks and may face liabilities and damage to our professional reputation as a result;

•

Our businesses are subject to extensive domestic and foreign regulations that may subject us to significant costs and compliance requirements;

•

We are subject to risks related to effectuating the Domestication including potentially adverse tax consequences and less favorable shareholder rights under the DGCL than under Cayman Islands Law;

•

We may be subject to risks related to our status as an emerging growth company within the meaning of the Securities Act;

•

Because the Company will become a publicly traded company by means other than a traditional underwritten initial public offering, the Company’s stockholders may face additional risks and uncertainties;

•

CHW and Wag! are subject to risks that may prevent the consummation and completion of the Business Combination, including the approval of each Condition Precedent Proposal, the failure to meet closing conditions, the failure of the PIPE and Backstop Investment to close, and the failure of the Credit Facility to close;

•

Some of CHW’s officers and directors may have conflicts of interest that may influence or have influenced them to support or approve the Business Combination without regard to your interests or in determining whether Wag! is appropriate for CHW’s initial business combination;

•

If third parties bring claims against CHW, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $10.00 per share;

•

You may only be able to exercise your public warrants on a “cashless basis” under certain circumstances, and if you do so, you will receive fewer shares of common stock from such exercise than if you were to exercise such warrants for cash;

•

The grant of registration rights to certain of our investors and the future exercise of such rights may adversely affect the market price of our common stock;

•

We may amend the terms of the warrants in a manner that may be adverse to holders of public warrants with the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding public warrants.

46

As a result, the exercise price of the warrants could be increased, the exercise period could be shortened and the number of ordinary shares purchasable upon exercise of a warrant could be decreased, all without approval of each warrant affected;

•

Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could result in our failure to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations which could have a material adverse effect on our business and stock price; and

•

The compliance obligations of CHW and Wag! under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act require substantial financial and management resources, and increase the time and costs of completing an acquisition.

SUMMARY UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following summary unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information presents the combination of the financial information of CHW Acquisition Corporation (“CHW”) and Wag Labs, Inc. (“Wag!”), adjusted to give effect to the Business Combination. The following unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.

The summary unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information has been derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information of New Wag! Appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement and the accompanying notes, in the section titled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.” The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the historical financial statements of CHW and Wag! and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement.

Notwithstanding the legal form of the business combination pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, using the acquisition method. No goodwill or other intangible assets will be recorded, and, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Wag! issuing shares for the net assets of CHW, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of CHW will be recognized at carrying value. For accounting purposes, the acquirer is the entity that has obtained control of another entity and, thus, consummated a business combination. The determination of whether control has been obtained begins with the evaluation of whether control should be evaluated based on the variable interest or voting interest model pursuant to ASC Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”). In all redemption scenarios, Wag! has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following factors:

•

Wag!’s shareholders will have a majority of the voting power under each of the No Redemptions, 50% Redemptions, and Maximum Redemptions scenarios;

•

Wag! will appoint the majority of the board of directors of New Wag!;

•

Wag!’s existing management will comprise the management of New Wag!;

•

Wag! will comprise the ongoing operations of New Wag!;

•

Wag! is the larger entity based on historical business operations;

The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information has been prepared using the assumptions below with respect to the potential redemption into cash of Wag!’s Public Shares:

•

Assuming No Redemptions: This presentation assumes that no CHW public shareholder exercises redemption rights with respect to its shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account.

•

Assuming 50% Redemptions: This presentation assumes that 6,250,000 CHW ordinary shares are redeemed for their pro rata share (assumed redemption price of $10.00 per share based on the funds held in the Trust Account as of December 31, 2021) for aggregate redemption proceeds of $62.5 million. This 50% Redemption scenario is based on 50% of redemptions which may occur, but which would still provide PIPE financing proceeds of $5.0 million and loan proceeds of $30 million before giving effect to the payment of the estimated transaction costs of $13.9 million, incurred in connection with the Merger, and CHW’s deferred underwriting commissions of $4.4 million from its IPO.

•

Assuming Maximum Redemptions: This presentation assumes that 12,500,000 CHW ordinary shares are redeemed for their pro rata share (assumed redemption price of $10.00 per share based on the funds held in the Trust Account as of December 31, 2021) for aggregate redemption proceeds of $125.0 million. This Maximum Redemption scenario is based on the maximum number of redemptions which may occur, but which would still provide PIPE financing proceeds of $5.0 million and loan proceeds of $30 million before giving effect to the payment of the estimated transaction costs of $13.9

51

million, incurred in connection with the Merger, and CHW’s deferred underwriting commissions of $4.4 million from its IPO, incurred in connection with the Merger.

COMPARATIVE HISTORICAL AND UNAUDITED PRO FORMA PER SHARE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following table sets forth historical comparative per share information of Wag!, on a stand-alone basis, and the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined per share information after giving effect to the Business Combination, assuming No Redemptions, 50% Redemptions, and Maximum Redemptions, respectively.

The historical information should be read in conjunction with the sections of this proxy statement/ prospectus entitled “Wag!’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “CHW’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” as well as the historical financial statements and related notes thereto of each of CHW and Wag! included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined per share information is derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”

The unaudited pro forma combined share information does not purport to represent what the actual results of operations of Wag! would have been had the Business Combination been completed or to project Wag!’s results of operations that may be achieved after the Business Combination. The unaudited pro forma combined net loss per share information below does not purport to represent what the actual results of operations of Wag! would have been had the Business Combination been completed or to project Wag!’s results of operations that may be achieved after the Business Combination. The unaudited pro forma stockholders’ equity per share information below does not purport to represent what the value of CHW equity and Wag! equity would have been had the Business Combination been completed nor the stockholders’ equity per share for any future date or period.

The following table sets forth:

•

Historical per share information of CHW for the three months ended March 31, 2022;

•

Historical per share information of Wag! for the three months ended March 31, 2022; and

•

Unaudited pro forma per share information of the combined company for the year ended March 31, 2022 after giving effect to the Business Combination, assuming the redemption scenarios as follows:

•

Assuming No Redemptions: This presentation assumes that no CHW public shareholder exercises redemption rights with respect to its shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account.•

•

Assuming 50% Redemptions: This presentation assumes that 6,250,000 CHW ordinary shares are redeemed for their pro rata share (assumed redemption price of $10.00 per share based on the funds held in the Trust Account as of March 31, 2022) for aggregate redemption proceeds of $62.5 million. This 50% redemption scenario is based on 50% of redemptions which may occur but which would still provide PIPE financing proceeds of $5.0 million and loan proceeds of $30 million before giving effect to the payment of the estimated transaction costs of $13.9 million, incurred in connection with the Merger, and CHW’s deferred underwriting commissions of $4.4 million from its IPO.

•

Assuming Maximum Redemptions: This presentation assumes that 12,500,000 CHW ordinary shares are redeemed for their pro rata share (assumed redemption price of $10.00 per share based on the funds held in the Trust Account as of March 31, 2022) for aggregate redemption proceeds of $125.0 million. This maximum redemption scenario is based on the maximum number of redemptions which may occur but which would still provide PIPE financing proceeds of $5.0 million and loan proceeds of $30 million before giving effect to the payment of the estimated transaction costs of $13.9 million incurred in connection with the Merger, and CHW’s deferred underwriting commissions of $4.4 million from its IPO.

The pro forma book value shares outstanding, and net loss per share information reflects the Business Combination, assuming the Post-Combination Company shares were outstanding since January 1, 2021. The weighted average shares outstanding and net loss per share information give pro forma effect to the

53

Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement as if they had occurred on January 1, 2021.

RISK FACTORS

Shareholders should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this proxy statement/prospectus, before they decide whether to vote or instruct their vote to be cast to approve the proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus. The following risk factors apply to the business and operations of Wag Labs, Inc. and will also apply to the business and operations of New Wag! following the completion of the Business Combination. The occurrence of one or more of the events or circumstances described in these risk factors, alone or in combination with other events or circumstances, may adversely affect the ability to complete or realize the anticipated benefits of the business combination, and may have an adverse effect on the business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations of the post-combination company. You should also carefully consider the following risk factors in addition to the other information included in this proxy statement/prospectus, including matters addressed in the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” CHW Acquisition Corporation or Wag Labs, Inc. may face additional risks and uncertainties that are not presently known to CHW Acquisition Corporation or Wag Labs, Inc., or that CHW Acquisition Corporation or Wag Labs, Inc. currently deems immaterial, which may also impair CHW Acquisition Corporation’s or Wag Labs, Inc.’s business or financial condition. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to the financial statements included herein.

Risks Related to Wag Labs, Inc.’s Business and to New Wag!’s Business Following the Business Combination

Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference in the below sections of this proxy statement/​prospectus to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and “Wag!” refers to Wag Labs, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and to New Wag! and its consolidated subsidiaries following the Business Combination. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, and other financial information included elsewhere within this proxy statement/​prospectus. This discussion includes forward-looking information regarding our business, results of operations and cash flows and contractual obligations and arrangements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from any future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, those discussed in the sections of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Wag Labs, Inc.’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

The COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of actions to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic have materially adversely impacted and may continue to materially adversely impact Wag!’s business, operating results, and financial condition.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic. To limit the spread of the virus, governments have imposed various restrictions, including emergency declarations at the federal, state, and local levels, school and business closings, quarantines, “shelter at home” orders, restrictions on travel, limitations on social or public gatherings, and other social distancing measures. These actions, which led to an increased reliance on online meeting tools rather than in-person meetings and business travel, have had and may continue to have a material adverse impact on Wag!’s business and operations and demand for pet care. For example, they have resulted in a reduction in the number of overnight bookings as people travel less and daytime services as people working from home care for their pets themselves.

The COVID-19 pandemic has materially adversely affected Wag!’s operating results and may continue to materially adversely impact Wag!’s financial condition and prospects. In light of the continued evolving nature of COVID-19 and the uncertainty it has produced around the world, it is not possible to predict the COVID-19 pandemic’s cumulative and ultimate impact on our future business operations, results of operations, financial position, liquidity, and cash flows. The extent of the impact of the pandemic on our business and financial results will depend largely on future developments, including the continued duration of the spread of the outbreak both globally and within the United States, including whether there will be further resurgences of COVID-19 in various regions, vaccination rates in various regions, the impact on capital, foreign currencies exchange and financial markets, governmental or regulatory orders that impact

56

our business, and whether the impacts may result in permanent changes to our end-user’ behavior, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. Demand for Wag!’s offerings may remain depressed for a significant length of time if COVID-19 results in long-term changes in behavior and Wag! cannot predict when, if ever, demand will return to pre-COVID-19 levels. In addition, Wag! cannot predict the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had and will have on Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers and Wag! may continue to be materially adversely impacted. Any of the foregoing factors, or other cascading effects of the COVID-19 pandemic that are not currently foreseeable, will materially adversely impact Wag!’s business, operating results, financial condition and prospects.

In response to the economic challenges and uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on Wag!’s business, Wag! has moved to a hybrid workplace setup in which employees have the voluntary option to go to the office. However there is no requirement for employees to go to the office at this time nor any plans for such a requirement in the immediate future. Wag! is positioned to leverage technology for employees and teams to work from home and accomplish their work without going into the office. Any employee that chooses to voluntarily go to the office must submit proof of vaccination, and thus the office is only open to vaccinated employees. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, from June to July 2020, Wag! participated in Work Share (Shared Work) programs in Arizona and California in order to assist its employees during the temporary economic downturn resulting from the pandemic. These programs were an alternative to layoffs, allowing Wag! to keep employees despite the reduction in work. As of August 2020, all employees have returned to their regular, full-time positions at the company, which remains the case to date.

Wag! has incurred net losses in each year since inception and experienced significant fluctuations in its operating results, which make it difficult to forecast future results, such as its ability to achieve profitability.

Wag! incurred net losses of $6.3 million and $18.8 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively and has incurred net losses of $2.4 million in the first three months of 2022. As of December 31, 2021, Wag! had an accumulated deficit of $109.9 million and $112.2 million as of March 31, 2022. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Wag!’s monthly revenue declined rapidly after March 2020. Historically, Wag! has invested significantly in efforts to grow its Pet Parent and Pet Caregiver network, introduced new or enhanced offerings and features, increased marketing spend, expanded operations, hired additional employees, and enhanced the platform. This focus may not be consistent with Wag!’s short-term expectations and may not produce the long-term benefits expected.

Wag!’s operating results may vary significantly and are not necessarily an indication of future performance. Wag! experiences seasonality in bookings based on numerous factors including holidays where Wag! has experienced lower walking services requests on the platform, offset by higher sitting and boarding requests during these periods. In addition, Wag!’s operating results may fluctuate as a result of a variety of other factors, some of which are beyond Wag!’s control. As a result, Wag! may not accurately forecast its operating results. Moreover, Wag! bases its expense levels and investment plans on estimates for revenue that may turn out to be inaccurate and Wag! may not be able to adjust its spending quickly enough if its revenue is less than expected, resulting in losses that exceed Wag!’s expectations. If Wag!’s assumptions regarding the risks and uncertainties that Wag! uses to plan its business are incorrect or change, or if Wag! does not address these risks successfully, Wag!’s operating results could differ materially from its expectations and Wag!’s business, operating results, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Online marketplaces for pet care are still in relatively early stages of growth and if demand for them does not continue to grow, grows slower than expected, or fails to grow as large as expected, Wag!’s business, financial condition, and operating results could be materially adversely affected.

Demand for booking pet care through online marketplaces has grown rapidly since the 2015 launch of Wag!’s platform, but such platforms are still relatively new and it is uncertain to what extent market acceptance will continue to grow, if at all. Wag!’s success will depend on the willingness of people to obtain pet care through platforms like Wag!’s platform. If the public does not perceive these services as beneficial, or chooses not to adopt them, or instead adopts alternative solutions based on changes in Wag!’s reputation for trust and safety, offering prices, availability of services, or other factors outside of Wag!’s control, then the market for Wag!’s platform may not further develop, may develop slower than Wag! expects, or may not

57

achieve the growth potential Wag! expects, any of which could adversely affect Wag!’s business, financial condition, and operating results.

Wag!’s marketing efforts to help grow the business may not be effective.

Promoting awareness of Wag!’s platform is important to its ability to grow the business and to attract new Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers. Since inception, Wag!’s user base has grown in large part as a result of word-of-mouth, complemented by paid and organic search, social media, and other online advertising and infrequent television advertising. Many of Wag!’s marketing efforts to date have focused on amplifying and accelerating this word-of-mouth momentum and such efforts may not continue to be effective. Although Wag! continues to rely significantly on word-of-mouth, organic search, and other unpaid channels, it believes that a significant amount of the growth in the number of Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers that use the platform also is attributable to its paid marketing initiatives. Prior to the impact of COVID-19, marketing efforts included referrals, affiliate programs, free or discount trials, partnerships, display advertising, billboards, radio, video, television, direct mail, social media, email, podcasts, hiring and classified advertisement websites, mobile “push” communications, search engine optimization, and paid keyword search campaigns. Even if Wag! successfully increases revenue as a result of paid marketing efforts, it may not offset the additional marketing expenses incurred. If marketing efforts to help grow the business are not effective, Wag! expects that its business, financial condition, and operating results may be materially adversely affected.

If Wag! fails to retain existing Pet Caregivers or attract new Pet Caregivers, or if Pet Caregivers fail to provide high-quality offerings, Wag!’s business, operating results, and financial condition would be materially adversely affected.

Wag!’s business depends on Pet Caregivers maintaining their use of Wag!’s platform and engaging in practices that encourage Pet Parents to book their services. If Pet Caregivers do not establish or maintain enough availability, the number of bookings declines for a particular period, or Pet Caregiver pricing is unattractive or insufficient, revenue will decline and Wag!’s business, operating results, and financial condition would be materially adversely affected.

Pet Caregivers have a range of options for offering their services. They may advertise their offerings in multiple ways that may or may not include Wag!’s platform. Some of Wag!’s Pet Caregivers have chosen to cross-list their offerings, which reduces the availability of such offerings on Wag!’s platform. When offerings are cross-listed, the price paid by Pet Parents on Wag!’s platform may be or may appear to be less competitive for many reasons, including differences in fee structure and policies, which may cause Pet Parents to book through other platforms or with other competitors, which could materially adversely affect Wag!’s business, operating results and financial condition. Additionally, certain Pet Parents reach out to Wag!’s Pet Caregivers (and vice versa) and incentivize them to list or book directly with them and bypass Wag!’s platform, which reduces the use of Wag!’s platform. Some Pet Caregivers may choose to stop offering services all together for a variety of reasons, including work obligations or health concerns.

While Wag! plans to continue to invest in its Pet Caregiver community and in tools to assist Pet Caregivers, including its technology and algorithms, these investments may not be successful in retaining existing Pet Caregivers or growing the number of Pet Caregivers and listings on Wag!’s platform. In addition, Pet Caregivers may not establish or wish to maintain listings if Wag! cannot attract prospective Pet Parents to its platform and generate bookings from a large number of Pet Parents. If Wag! is unable to retain existing Pet Caregivers or add new Pet Caregivers, or if Pet Caregivers elect to market their offerings directly, exclusively with a competitor, or cross-list with a competitor, Wag!’s platform may be unable to offer a sufficient supply of on-demand services to attract Pet Parents to use its platform. If Wag! is unable to attract and retain individual Pet Caregivers in a cost-effective manner, or at all, Wag!’s business, operating results, and financial condition would be materially adversely affected. In addition, the number of bookings on Wag! may decline as a result of a number of other factors affecting pet care providers, including: the COVID-19 pandemic; Pet Caregivers booking on other third-party platforms as an alternative to offering on Wag!’s platform; economic, social and political factors; Pet Caregivers not receiving timely and adequate support from Wag!; perceptions of trust and safety on and off Wag!’s platform; negative experiences with pets and Pet Parents, including pets who damage pet care provider property; Wag!’s efforts or failure or perceived

58

failure to comply with regulatory requirements; and Wag!’s decision to remove Pet Caregivers from its platform for not adhering to Wag!’s Community Guidelines or other factors Wag! deems detrimental to its community.

If Wag! fails to retain existing Pet Parents or add new Pet Parents, or if Pet Parents fail to receive high-quality offerings, Wag!’s business, operating results, and financial condition would be materially adversely affected.

Wag!’s success depends significantly on retaining existing Pet Parents and attracting new Pet Parents to use Wag!’s platform, increasing the number of repeat bookings that Pet Parents make, and attracting them to different types of service offerings on Wag!’s platform. Pet Parents have a range of options for meeting their pet care needs, including neighbors, family and friends, local independent operators, large, commercial providers such as kennels and daycares, other online aggregators and directories, and other digital marketplaces.

Wag!’s ability to attract and retain Pet Parents could be materially adversely affected by a number of factors, such as: Pet Caregivers failing to provide differentiated, high-quality and adequately available pet services at competitive prices; the fees Wag! charges to Pet Parents for booking services; taxes; Wag!’s failure to facilitate new or enhanced offerings or features that Pet Parents value; the performance of Wag!’s platform; Pet Parents not receiving timely and adequate support from Wag!; negative perceptions of the trust and safety of Wag!’s platform; negative associations with, or reduced awareness of, Wag!’s brand; declines and inefficiencies in Wag!’s marketing efforts; Wag!’s efforts or failure or perceived failure to comply with regulatory requirements; and Wag!’s decision to remove Pet Parents from its platform for not adhering to Wag!’s Community Guidelines or other factors Wag! deems detrimental to its community. For incidents that occur during services booked through Wag!’s platform, liable Pet Parents may be protected with up to $1 million property damage protection, subject to applicable policy limitations and exclusions. While Wag! intends to continue this property damage protection, if it discontinues this policy, whether because payouts under these policies or insurance premiums become cost prohibitive or for any other reason, then the number of Pet Parents who list with Wag! may decline.

Events beyond Wag!’s control also may materially adversely impact Wag!’s ability to attract and retain Pet Parents, including: the COVID-19 pandemic or other pandemics or health concerns; increased or continuing restrictions on travel and immigration; the impact of climate change on travel and seasonal destinations (such as fires, floods and other natural disasters); and macroeconomic and other conditions outside of Wag!’s control affecting travel or business activities generally.

In addition, if Wag!’s platform is not easy to navigate, Pet Parents have an unsatisfactory sign-up, search, booking, or payment experience on Wag!’s platform, the content provided on Wag!’s platform is not displayed effectively, Wag! is not effective in engaging Pet Parents, or fails to provide a user experience in a manner that meets rapidly changing demand, Wag! could fail to attract and retain new Pet Parents and engage with existing Pet Parents, which could materially adversely affect its business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Wag!’s fee structure is impacted by a number of factors and ultimately may not be successful in attracting and retaining Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers.

Demand for Wag!’s platform is highly sensitive to a range of factors, including the availability of services at times and prices appealing to Pet Parents, prices that Pet Caregivers set for their services, the level of potential earnings required to attract and retain Pet Caregivers, incentives paid to Pet Caregivers and the fees, and commissions Wag! charges Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents. Many factors, including operating costs, legal and regulatory requirements, constraints or changes, and Wag!’s current and future competitors’ pricing and marketing strategies, could significantly affect Wag!’s pricing strategies. Existing or future competitors offer, or may in the future offer, lower-priced or a broader range of offerings. Similarly, certain competitors may use marketing strategies that enable them to attract or retain Pet Parents or Pet Caregivers at a lower cost than Wag!. There can be no assurance that Wag! will not be forced, through competition, regulation, or otherwise, to increase the incentives paid to Pet Parents that use the platform, reduce the fees and commissions charged Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents, or to increase marketing and other expenses to attract and retain Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers in response to competitive pressures. Wag! has launched and may in the future launch, new fee or pricing strategies and initiatives or modify existing fee strategies,

59

any of which may not ultimately be successful in attracting and retaining Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers. Further, Pet Parents’ price sensitivity may vary by geographic location, and as Wag! expands, Wag!’s fee structure may not enable Wag! to compete effectively in these locations.

Any further and continued decline or disruption in the travel and pet care services industries or economic downturn would materially adversely affect Wag!’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Wag!’s financial performance is partially dependent on the strength of the travel and pet services industries. The outbreak of COVID-19 has caused many governments to implement quarantines and significant restrictions on travel or to advise that people remain at home where possible and avoid crowds, which has had a particularly negative impact on bookings for pet services. Wag! expects that COVID-19 will continue to materially adversely impact its bookings and business. The extent and duration of such impact remains uncertain and is dependent on future developments that are difficult to predict accurately, such as the severity, transmission, and resurgence rate of COVID-19, vaccination rates and its effectiveness, the extent and effectiveness of containment actions taken, including mobility restrictions and the impact of these and other factors on travel or work behavior in general and on Wag!’s business in particular.

Other events beyond Wag!’s control can result in declines in travel or continued work-from-home mandates. Because these events or concerns and the full impact of their effects, are largely unpredictable, they can dramatically and suddenly affect travel and work behavior by consumers and therefore demand for Wag!’s platform and pet services, which would materially adversely affect Wag!’s business, operating results, and financial condition.

Wag!’s financial performance is also subject to global economic conditions and their impact on levels of discretionary consumer spending. Downturns in worldwide or regional economic conditions, such as the downturn resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic or volatility due to geopolitical instability, have led or could lead to a general decrease in travel and spending on pet care services and such downturns in the future may materially adversely impact demand for Wag!’s platform. Such a shift in Pet Parent behavior would materially adversely affect Wag!’s business, operating results, and financial condition.

The business and industry in which Wag! participates are highly competitive and Wag! may be unable to compete successfully with its current or future competitors.

Wag! operates in a highly competitive environment and faces significant competition in attracting Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents. Pet Parents have a range of options to find and book pet care offerings, both online and offline. Wag! believes that its competitors include:

•

friends, family, and neighbors that Pet Parents go to for pet care within their personal networks;

•

local independent operators;

•

large, commercial providers such as kennels and daycares;

•

online aggregators and directories, such as Craigslist, Nextdoor, and Yelp; and

•

other digital marketplaces, such as Rover and the pet care offerings on Care.com.

Wag! believes that its ability to compete effectively depends upon many factors both within and beyond its control, including:

•

the popularity and adoption of online marketplaces to obtain services from individual pet care providers;

•

the popularity, utility, ease of use, performance, and reliability of Wag!’s offerings compared to those of its competitors;

•

Wag!’s reputation and brand strength relative to its competitors;

•

the prices of offerings and the fees Wag! charges pet care providers and Pet Parents on its platform;

•

Wag!’s ability to attract and retain high quality Pet Caregivers;

•

the perceived safety of offerings on Wag!’s platform, especially during and following the COVID-19 pandemic;

60

•

cancellation policies, especially throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and other health-related disruptions;

•

Wag!’s ability, and the ability of its competitors, to develop new offerings;

•

Wag!’s ability to establish and maintain relationships with partners;

•

changes mandated by, or that Wag! elects to make, to address, legislation, regulatory authorities or litigation, including settlements, judgments, injunctions, and consent decrees;

•

Wag!’s ability to attract, retain, and motivate talented employees;

•

Wag!’s ability to raise additional capital; and

•

acquisitions or consolidation within Wag!’s industry.

Currently, Wag!’s primary competition is from the friends, family, and neighbors to whom Pet Parents often turn for pet services within their personal networks. Current and potential competitors (including any new entrants into the market) may enjoy substantial competitive advantages over Wag!, such as greater name recognition, longer operating histories, greater category share in certain markets, market-specific knowledge, established relationships with local Pet Parents and pet care providers and larger existing user bases in certain markets, more successful marketing capabilities, and substantially greater financial, technical, and other resources than Wag! has. Competitors may be able to provide Pet Parents with a better or more complete experience and respond more quickly and effectively than Wag! can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards, or Pet Caregiver and Pet Parent requirements or preferences. The pet care industry also may experience significant consolidation or the entrance of new players. Some of Wag!’s competitors could adopt aspects of Wag!’s business model, which could affect Wag!’s ability to differentiate its offerings from competitors. Increased competition could result in reduced demand for Wag!’s platform from Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents, slow Wag!’s growth and materially adversely affect Wag!’s business, operating results, and financial condition. Consolidation among Wag!’s competitors could give them increased scale and may enhance their capacity, abilities, and resources and lower their cost structures. In addition, emerging start-ups may be able to innovate and focus on developing a new product or service faster than Wag! can or may foresee consumer need for new offerings or technologies before Wag! does. If Wag! fails to retain existing Pet Caregivers or attract new Pet Caregivers, Wag!’s business, operating results, and financial condition would be materially adversely affected.

New offerings and initiatives can be costly and if Wag! unsuccessfully pursues such offerings and initiatives, it may fail to grow and Wag!’s business, operating results, financial condition, and prospects would be materially adversely affected.

Wag! plans to invest in new offerings and initiatives to further differentiate the company from its competitors. Developing and delivering new offerings and initiatives increases Wag!’s expenses and organizational complexity. Wag! has and may continue to experience difficulties in developing and implementing these new offerings and initiatives.

Wag!’s new offerings and initiatives have a high degree of risk, as they may involve unproven businesses with which Wag! has limited or no prior development or operating experience. There can be no assurance that consumer demand for such offerings and initiatives will exist or be sustained at the levels that Wag! anticipates, that Wag! will be able to successfully manage the development and delivery of such offerings and initiatives, or that any of these offerings or initiatives will gain sufficient market acceptance to generate sufficient revenue to offset associated expenses or liabilities. It is also possible that offerings developed by others will render Wag!’s offerings and initiatives noncompetitive or obsolete. Even if Wag! is successful in developing new offerings and initiatives, regulatory authorities may subject Wag! or its pet care providers and Pet Parents to new rules, taxes, or restrictions or more aggressively enforce existing rules, taxes, or restrictions, that could increase Wag!’s expenses or prevent Wag! from successfully commercializing these initiatives. If Wag! does not realize the expected benefits of its investments, it may fail to grow and its business, operating results, and financial condition would be materially adversely affected.

Wag! relies on internet search engines to drive traffic to its platform to grow revenue and if Wag! is unable to drive traffic cost-effectively, it would materially adversely affect Wag!’s business, operating results, and financial condition.

Wag!’s success depends in part on its ability to attract Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents through unpaid internet search results on search engines, such as Google, Yahoo!, and Bing. The number of Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents that Wag! attracts to its platform from search engines is due in large part to how and where Wag!’s website ranks in unpaid search results. These rankings can be affected by many factors, many of which are not under Wag!’s direct control and may change frequently. As a result, links to Wag!’s website or mobile applications may not be prominent enough to drive traffic to Wag!’s website and Wag! may not know how or otherwise be able to influence the results. In some instances, search engine companies may change these rankings in a way that promotes their own competing products or services or the products or services of one or more of Wag!’s competitors. Search engines may also adopt a more aggressive auction-pricing system for paid search keywords that would cause Wag! to incur higher advertising costs or reduce Wag!’s market visibility to prospective Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents. Any reduction in the number of Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents directed to Wag!’s platform could adversely affect Wag!’s business, financial condition, and operating results.

Further, Wag! has used paid marketing products offered by search engines and social media platforms to distribute paid advertisements that drive traffic to Wag!’s platform. A critical factor in attracting Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents to Wag!’s platform has been how prominently offerings are displayed in response to search queries for key search terms. The success of pet services logistics and Wag!’s brand has at times led to increased costs for relevant keywords as Wag!’s competitors competitively bid on Wag!’s keywords, including Wag!’s brand name. However, Wag! may not be successful at its efforts to drive traffic growth cost-effectively. If Wag! is not able to effectively increase its traffic growth without increases in spend on paid marketing, it may need to increase its paid marketing spend in the future, including in response to increased spend on marketing from its competitors and its business, operating results, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Maintaining and enhancing Wag!’s brand reputation is critical to Wag!’s growth and negative publicity could damage Wag!’s brand, thereby harming Wag!’s ability to compete effectively and could materially adversely affect Wag!’s business, operating results, and financial condition.

Trust in Wag!’s brand is essential to the strength of Wag!’s business. Maintaining and enhancing Wag!’s brand reputation is critical to Wag!’s ability to attract Pet Caregivers, Pet Parents, and employees, to compete effectively, to preserve and deepen the engagement of Wag!’s existing Pet Caregivers, Pet Parents, and employees, to maintain and improve Wag!’s standing in the communities where its pet care providers operate, including its standing with community leaders and regulatory bodies, and to mitigate legislative or regulatory scrutiny, litigation, and government investigations. Wag! is heavily dependent on the perceptions of Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents who use Wag!’s platform to help make word-of-mouth recommendations that contribute to Wag!’s growth. Negative perception of Wag!’s platform or company may harm Wag!’s reputation, brand, and local network effects, including as a result of:

•

complaints or negative publicity about Wag!, Wag!’s platform, Pet Parents, Pet Caregivers, or Wag!’s policies and guidelines;

•

illegal, negligent, reckless, or otherwise inappropriate behavior by Pet Caregivers, Pet Parents, or third parties;

•

injuries or other safety-related issues involving pets;

•

a pandemic or an outbreak of disease, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, in which constituents of Wag!’s network become infected;

•

a failure to facilitate a sufficient level of bookings or to enable a competitive level of earnings for pet care providers;

•

a failure to provide Pet Parents access to competitive pricing and quality;

•

a failure to provide access to a range of offerings options sought by Pet Parents;

62

•

fraudulent activity;

•

actual or perceived disruptions or defects in Wag!’s platform, such as site outages, payment disruptions, privacy or data security breaches, other security incidents, or other actual or perceived incidents that may impact the reliability of Wag!’s services;

•

litigation over, or investigations by regulators into, Wag!’s platform;

•

users’ lack of awareness of, or compliance with, Wag!’s policies;

•

changes to Wag!’s policies that users or others perceive as overly restrictive, unclear, inconsistent with Wag!’s values or mission, or not clearly articulated;

•

a failure to comply with legal, tax, and regulatory requirements;

•

a failure to enforce Wag!’s policies in a manner that users perceive as effective, fair, and transparent;

•

a failure to operate Wag!’s business in a way that is consistent with its values and mission;

•

inadequate or unsatisfactory user support experiences;

•

illegal or otherwise inappropriate behavior by Wag!’s management team or other employees or contractors;

•

negative responses by Pet Parents or Pet Caregivers to new services on Wag!’s platform;

•

a failure to register Wag!’s trademarks and prevent or defend against misappropriation or third-party challenges to Wag!’s existing or new trademarks;

•

negative perception of Wag!’s treatment of employees, Pet Parents, Pet Caregivers, or of Wag!’s response to employee, Pet Parents, and Pet Caregiver sentiment related to political or social causes or actions of management; or

•

any of the foregoing with respect to Wag!’s competitors, to the extent such resulting negative perception affects the public’s perception of Wag! or Wag!’s industry.

Any incident, whether actual or rumored to have occurred, involving the safety or security of pets, Pet Caregivers, Pet Parents, or other members of the public, fraudulent transactions, or incidents that are mistakenly attributed to Wag! and any media coverage resulting therefrom, could create a negative public perception of Wag!’s platform, which would adversely impact Wag!’s ability to attract Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents. The impact of these issues may be more pronounced if Wag! is seen to have failed to provide prompt and appropriate support or Wag!’s platform policies are perceived to be too permissive, too restrictive, or providing Pet Caregivers or Pet Parents with unsatisfactory resolutions. Wag! has been the subject of media reports, social media posts, blogs, and other forums that contain allegations about Wag!’s business or activity on Wag!’s platform that create negative publicity. As a result of these complaints and negative publicity, some Pet Caregivers have refrained from and may in the future refrain from, offering services through Wag!’s platform and some Pet Parents have refrained from and may in the future refrain from, using Wag!’s platform, which could materially adversely affect Wag!’s business, operating results, and financial condition.

Wag!’s brand reputation could also be harmed if Wag! fails to comply with regulatory requirements as interpreted by certain governments or agencies or otherwise fails, or is perceived to fail, to act responsibly in a number of other areas, such as: animal welfare; safety and security; data security; privacy practices and data protection; provision of information about users and activities on Wag!’s platform, including as requested by certain governments or agencies; sustainability; advertising and social media endorsement regulation and guidance; human rights; diversity; non-discrimination; concerns relating to the “gig” economy; business practices; including those relating to Wag!’s platform and offerings; strategic plans; business partners; employees; competition; litigation and response to regulatory activity; the environment; and local communities. Media, legislative or government scrutiny around Wag!’s company relating to any of the above areas or others could cause backlash and could adversely affect Wag!’s brand reputation with Wag!’s Pet Caregivers, Pet Parents, and communities. Social media compounds the potential scope of the negative publicity that could be generated and the speed with which such negative publicity may spread. Any resulting damage to Wag!’s brand reputation could materially adversely affect Wag!’s business, operating results, and financial condition.

63

In addition, Wag! relies on Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents to provide trustworthy reviews and ratings that Wag!’s Pet Caregivers or Pet Parents may rely upon to help decide whether or not to book a particular offering or accept a particular booking and that Wag! uses to enforce quality standards. Wag! relies on these reviews to further strengthen trust among members of Wag!’s community. Wag!’s Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents may be less likely to rely on reviews and ratings if they believe that Wag!’s review system does not generate trustworthy reviews and ratings.

Wag! has procedures in place to combat fraud or abuse of its review system, but cannot guarantee that these procedures are or will be effective. In addition, if Wag!’s Pet Parents do not leave reliable reviews and ratings, other potential Pet Caregivers or Pet Parents may disregard those reviews and ratings, and Wag!’s systems that use reviews and ratings to make quality standards transparent would be less effective, which could reduce trust within Wag!’s community and damage Wag!’s brand reputation and could materially adversely affect its business, operating results, and financial condition.

Actions by Pet Caregivers or Pet Parents that are criminal, violent, inappropriate, or dangerous, or fraudulent activity, may undermine the safety or the perception of safety of Wag!’s platform and Wag!’s ability to attract and retain Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents and materially adversely affect Wag!’s reputation, business, operating results, and financial condition.

Wag! has no control over or ability to predict the specific actions of Wag!’s users and other third parties during the time that pets or Pet Parents are with Pet Caregivers or otherwise and therefore, Wag! cannot guarantee the safety of pets, Pet Caregivers, Pet Parents, and third parties. The actions of pets, Pet Caregivers, Pet Parents, and other third parties may result in pet and human fatalities, injuries, other harm, fraud, invasion of privacy, property damage, discrimination, and brand reputational damage, which have created and could continue to create potential legal or other substantial liabilities for Wag!.

All new Pet Caregivers on Wag!’s platform undergo third-party background checks before they can offer their services on Wag!’s platform. U.S. Pet Caregivers are subject to a social security number and address trace and are checked against national and county criminal offense databases, sex offender registries, and certain global and domestic regulatory, terrorist and sanctions watchlists.

Wag! does not verify the identity of or require background checks for Pet Parents, nor does Wag! verify or require background checks for third parties who may be present during a service made through its platform. In addition, Wag! does not currently and may not in the future require Pet Caregivers to re-verify their identity or undergo subsequent background checks following their successful completion of their initial screening process.

Wag!’s screening processes rely on, among other things, information provided by Pet Caregivers and Wag!’s ability to validate that information and the effectiveness of third-party service providers that support Wag!’s verification processes may be limited. Certain verification processes, including legacy verification processes on which Wag! previously relied, may be less reliable than others. These processes are beneficial but not exhaustive and have limitations. There can be no assurances that these measures will significantly reduce criminal or fraudulent activity on Wag!’s platform. The criminal background checks for Pet Caregivers and other screening processes rely on, among other things, information provided by Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents, Wag!’s ability to validate that information, the accuracy, completeness, and availability of the underlying information relating to criminal records, the digitization of certain records, the evolving regulatory landscape in this area, such as relating to data privacy, data protection, and criminal background screening, and on the effectiveness of third-party service providers that may fail to conduct such background checks adequately or disclose information that could be relevant to a determination of eligibility.

In addition, Wag! has not in the past and may not in the future undertake to independently verify the safety, suitability, location, quality, and compliance with Wag! policies or standards and legal compliance, of all Wag!’s Pet Caregivers’ offerings. Wag! has not in the past and may not in the future undertake to independently verify the location, safety, or suitability of offerings for individual pets and Pet Parents or the suitability, qualifications, or credentials of pet care providers. Where Wag! has undertaken the verification or screening of certain aspects of Pet Caregiver qualifications and offerings, the scope of such processes may be limited and rely on, among other things, information provided by Pet Caregivers and the ability of Wag!’s internal teams or third-party vendors to adequately conduct such verification or screening practices.

64

In addition, Wag! has not in the past taken and may not in the future take steps to re-verify or re-screen Pet Caregiver qualifications or offerings following initial review. Wag! has in the past relied and may in the future, rely on Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents to disclose information relating to their offerings and such information may be inaccurate or incomplete. Wag! has created policies and standards to respond to issues reported with offerings, but certain offerings may pose heightened safety risks to individual users because those issues have not been reported to Wag! or because Wag!’s customer support team has not taken the requisite action based on Wag!’s policies. Wag! relies, at least in part, on reports of issues from Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents to investigate and enforce many of Wag!’s policies and standards. In addition, Wag!’s policies may not contemplate certain safety risks posed by offerings or by individual Pet Caregivers or Pet Parents or may not sufficiently address those risks.

Wag! also has faced or may face civil litigation, regulatory investigations, and inquiries involving allegations of, among other things, unsafe or unsuitable offerings, discriminatory policies, data processing, practices or behavior on and off Wag!’s platform or by Pet Caregivers, Pet Parents, and third parties, general misrepresentations regarding the safety or accuracy of offerings on Wag!’s platform, and other Pet Caregiver, Pet Parent, or third-party actions that are criminal, violent, inappropriate, dangerous, or fraudulent. While Wag! recognizes that it needs to continue to build trust and invest in innovations that will support trust when it comes to Wag!’s policies, tools, and procedures to protect Pet Caregivers, Pet Parents, and the communities in which Wag!’s Pet Caregivers operate, it may not be successful in doing so. Similarly, offerings that are inaccurate, of a lower than expected quality, or that do not comply with Wag!’s policies may harm Pet Parents and public perception of the quality and safety of offerings on Wag!’s platform and materially adversely affect its reputation, business, operating results, and financial condition.

If Pet Caregivers, Pet Parents, or third parties engage in criminal activity, misconduct, fraudulent, negligent, or inappropriate conduct, or use Wag!’s platform as a conduit for criminal activity, Pet Parents may not consider Wag!’s platform and the offerings on Wag!’s platform safe and Wag! may receive negative media coverage, or be subject to involvement in a government investigation concerning such activity, which could adversely impact Wag!’s brand reputation and lower the usage rate of Wag!’s platform.

Wag! has a limited operating history in an evolving industry, which makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and may increase the risk that Wag! will not be successful.

Wag! launched operations in 2015 and since then has frequently: (1) increased the number of local markets in which it offers services; (2) expanded Wag!’s platform features and services; and (3) changed Wag!’s fee structure. Because the market for accessing pet care is rapidly evolving and has not yet reached widespread adoption, it is difficult for us to predict our future operating results. This limited operating history and Wag!’s evolving business make it difficult to evaluate Wag!’s prospects and the risks and challenges Wag! may encounter. These risks and challenges include Wag!’s ability to:

•

accurately forecast its revenue and plan its operating expenses;

•

increase the number of and retain existing Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers that use its platform;

•

successfully compete with current and future competitors;

•

provide our users with superior experiences;

•

successfully expand its business in existing markets and enter new markets and geographies;

•

anticipate and respond to macroeconomic changes and changes in the markets in which Wag! operates;

•

maintain and enhance the value of its reputation and brand;

•

adapt to rapidly evolving trends in the ways service providers and consumers interact with technology;

•

avoid interruptions or disruptions in its service;

•

develop a scalable, high-performance technology infrastructure that can efficiently and reliably handle increased usage, as well as the deployment of new features and services;

•

hire, integrate, and retain talented technology, marketing, customer service, and other personnel;

65

•

effectively manage rapid growth in its personnel and operations; and

•

effectively manage its costs.

If Wag! fails to address the risks and difficulties that it faces, including those associated with the challenges listed above as well as those described elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” section, its business, financial condition, and operating results could be materially adversely affected.

Wag! bases its decisions regarding expenditures in Pet Parent acquisition in part on its analysis of the Gross Bookings generated from Pet Parents that it acquired in prior periods. Wag!’s estimates and assumptions may not accurately reflect future results and Wag! may not be able to recover its Pet Parent acquisition costs.

Wag!’s success depends on its ability to attract Pet Parents in a cost-effective manner. Wag!’s decisions regarding investments in Pet Parent acquisition substantially depend upon Wag!’s analysis of the revenue generated from Pet Parents acquired in earlier periods. Wag!’s analysis regarding Pet Parent acquisition investment and revenue includes several assumptions, such as:

•

Wag! makes various assumptions based on its historical data with respect to the booking activity of Pet Parents. If Wag!’s assumptions regarding such bookings are incorrect, its revenue relative to Pet Parent acquisition cost could be less favorable than it believes.

•

Wag!’s analysis focuses on support and acquisition marketing expenses incurred during the period in which the Pet Parents were originally acquired and makes various assumptions with respect to the level of additional marketing or other expenses necessary to maintain Pet Parent loyalty and generate booking activity in subsequent periods. If Wag!’s assumptions regarding such expenses in subsequent periods are incorrect, Wag!’s revenue relative to Pet Parent acquisition cost could be less favorable than Wag! believes.

If Wag!’s assumptions regarding its Pet Parent acquisition investment and resulting revenue from bookings, including those relating to the effectiveness of Wag!’s marketing expenditures, prove incorrect, Wag!’s ability to generate revenue from its investments in new Pet Parent acquisitions may be less than Wag! has assumed and less than it has experienced in the past. In such case, Wag! may need to increase expenses or otherwise alter its strategy and its business, financial condition, and operating results may be materially adversely affected.

If use of Wag!’s platform in large metropolitan areas is negatively affected, its financial results and future prospects could be adversely impacted.

Wag! derives a significant portion of its bookings and historically has generated a significant portion of its growth in more densely populated urban areas. Wag!’s business and financial results may be susceptible to economic, social and regulatory conditions, or other circumstances that tend to impact such areas. An economic downturn, increased competition, or regulatory obstacles in these areas could adversely affect Wag!’s business, financial condition, and operating results to a much greater degree than would the occurrence of such events in other areas. Further, Wag! expects that it will continue to face challenges in penetrating lower-density suburban and rural areas, where Wag!’s network is smaller and finding local Pet Caregivers is more difficult, the cost of pet ownership is lower, and alternative Pet Caregivers may be more convenient. If Wag! is not successful in penetrating suburban and rural areas, or if it is unable to operate in certain key metropolitan areas in the future, its ability to serve what it considers to be its total addressable market would be limited and its business, financial condition, and operating results would suffer.

If Wag! cannot successfully manage the unique challenges presented by international markets, Wag! may not be successful in expanding its operations outside the United States.

Wag!’s strategy may include the expansion of its operations to international markets. Although some of Wag!’s executive officers have experience in international business from prior positions, Wag! has little experience with operations outside the United States. Wag!’s ability to successfully execute this strategy is affected by many of the same operational risks Wag! faces in expanding our U.S. operations. In addition, Wag!’s international expansion may be adversely affected by its ability to attract local Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers to its platform, obtain and protect relevant trademarks, domain names, and other intellectual

66

property, as well as by local laws and customs, legal and regulatory constraints, political and economic conditions, and currency regulations of the countries or regions in which Wag! may intend to operate in the future. Risks inherent in expanding operations internationally also include, among others, the costs and difficulties of managing international operations, adverse tax consequences, domestic and international tariffs, and trade policies and greater difficulty in securing and enforcing intellectual property rights. If Wag! invests substantial time and resources to expand its operations internationally and is unable to manage these risks effectively, Wag!’s business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

In addition, international expansion may increase Wag!’s risks in complying with various laws and standards, including with respect to anti-corruption, anti-bribery, export controls, privacy, and trade and economic sanctions.

Any international operations involve additional risks, and exposure to these risks may increase if Wag! expands internationally.

Wag! may expand its operations internationally. Wag!’s platform is currently only available in English, and Wag! may have difficulty modifying its technology and content for use in non-English-speaking markets or fostering new communities in non-English-speaking markets. Wag!’s ability to manage its business and conduct its operations internationally requires considerable management attention and resources, and is subject to the particular challenges of supporting a rapidly growing business in an environment of multiple languages, cultures, customs, legal systems, alternative dispute systems, regulatory systems, and commercial infrastructures. Furthermore, in most international markets, Wag! would not be the first entrant, and competitors may be better positioned than Wag! is to succeed. Expanding internationally may subject Wag! to risks that it has either not faced before or increase its exposure to risks that it currently faces, including risks associated with:

•

recruiting and retaining qualified, multi-lingual employees;

•

increased competition from local websites and guides and potential preferences by local populations for local providers;

•

providing solutions in different languages for different cultures, which may require that Wag! modify its solutions and features to ensure that they are culturally relevant in different countries;

•

credit risk and higher levels of payment fraud;

•

currency exchange rate fluctuations;

•

foreign exchange controls that might prevent us from repatriating cash earned outside the United States;

•

political and economic instability in some countries;

•

double taxation of our international earnings and potentially adverse tax consequences due to changes in the tax laws of the United States or the foreign jurisdictions in which we operate; and

•

higher costs of doing business internationally.

Risks Related to Regulation and Taxation

If Pet Caregivers are reclassified as employees under applicable law, Wag!’s business would be materially adversely affected.

Wag! is subject to claims, lawsuits, arbitration proceedings, administrative actions, government investigations, and other legal and regulatory proceedings at the U.S. federal, state, and municipal levels challenging the classification of Pet Caregivers that use Wag!’s platform as independent contractors. The tests governing whether a service provider is an independent contractor or an employee vary by governing law and are typically highly fact sensitive. Laws and regulations that govern the status and classification of independent contractors are subject to changes and divergent interpretations by various authorities, which can create uncertainty and unpredictability for Wag!. As referenced above, Wag! maintains that Pet

67

Caregivers that use Wag!’s platform are independent contractors. However, Pet Caregivers may be reclassified as employees, especially in light of the evolving rules and restrictions on service provider classification and their potential impact on participants in the “gig economy.” A reclassification of service providers as employees would adversely affect Wag!’s business, financial condition, and operating results, including as a result of:

•

monetary exposure arising from, or relating to failure to, withhold and remit taxes (including with respect to the Pet Caregiver Issuance), unpaid wages and wage and hour laws and requirements (such as those pertaining to failure to pay minimum wage and overtime, or to provide required breaks and wage statements), expense reimbursement, statutory and punitive damages, penalties, and government fines;

•

injunctions prohibiting continuance of existing business practices;

•

claims for employee benefits (including equity incentives), social security, workers’ compensation, and unemployment;

•

claims of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation under civil rights laws;

•

claims under laws pertaining to unionizing, collective bargaining, and other concerted activity;

•

other claims, charges, or other proceedings under laws and regulations applicable to employers and employees, including risks relating to allegations of joint employer liability or agency liability; and

•

harm to Wag!’s reputation and brand.

In the United States, national, state, and local governmental authorities have enacted or pursued, and may in the future enact and pursue, measures designed to regulate the gig economy. For example, in 2019 the California Assembly passed AB-5, which codified a narrow worker classification test that has had the effect of treating many “gig economy” workers as employees. AB-5 now includes a referral agency exemption that specifically applies to animal services, dog walking, and grooming. While Wag! believes that Pet Caregivers who use Wag!’s platform fall within such exemption, the interpretation or enforcement of the exemption could change. In addition, other jurisdictions (including in international geographies where Wag! may in the future offer its platform) could pursue similar laws that do not include such carve outs and which, if applied to Wag!’s platform, could adversely impact Wag!’s platform’s availability and its business. In the past, Wag! has been subject to claims by representatives of Pet Caregivers alleging various misclassification claims and wage and hour violations. These claims have been settled, but Wag! may be subject to similar claims and legal proceedings in the future.

In addition to the harms listed above, a reclassification of Pet Caregivers as employees would require Wag! to significantly alter its existing business model and operations and impact Wag!’s ability to add and retain Pet Caregivers to its platform and grow its business, which Wag! would expect to have an adverse effect on its business, financial condition, and operating results.

Wag! is licensed to operate in regulated industries and if these licenses are revoked or suspended, Wag!’s business may be materially adversely affected.

Wag! operates in regulated industries, including insurance, which require licenses to operate in the jurisdictions in which Wag! operates. One Wag! subsidiary is currently licensed as an insurance agency in 50 states and the District of Columbia. Wag! cannot guarantee that it will be able to refer its customers to options for pet insurance nationwide in the near term or at all. Wag!’s ability to retain state licenses depends on its ability to meet licensing requirements enacted or promulgated in each state. If Wag! is unable to satisfy the applicable licensing requirements of any particular state, it could lose its license to do business in such state, or have certain referral compensation agreements suspended or terminated, and may result in the suspension of its authority to receive commission compensation for the referral of such insurance business. If these licenses are revoked or suspended, Wag!’s regulated business could be materially adversely affected and it may be forced to temporarily suspend operations in affected jurisdictions. This may require Wag! to expend substantial resources or to discontinue certain services or platform features, which might further adversely affect Wag!’s business. Any costs incurred to prevent or mitigate this potential liability could adversely affect Wag!’s business, financial condition, and operating results.

68

Wag!’s business is subject to a variety of U.S. laws and regulations, many of which are unsettled and still developing and failure to comply with such laws and regulations could subject Wag! to claims or otherwise adversely affect Wag!’s business, financial condition, or operating results.

Online marketplaces offering pet care services are a rapidly developing business model and are quickly evolving. Wag! is or may become subject to a variety of laws in the United States and other jurisdictions. Laws, regulations, and standards governing issues such as worker classification, labor and employment, anti-discrimination, animal safety, home-based pet care licensing and regulation, insurance producer licensing and market conduct, online payments, gratuities, pricing and commissions, subscription services, intellectual property, background checks, and tax are often complex and subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity. The scope and interpretation of these laws and whether they are applicable to Wag!, are often uncertain and may be conflicting, including varying standards and interpretations among countries, between state or province and federal law, between individual states or provinces and even at the city and municipality level. As a result, their application in practice may change or develop over time through judicial decisions or as new guidance or interpretations are provided by regulatory and governing bodies. Wag! has been proactively working with state and local governments and regulatory bodies to ensure that Wag!’s platform is available broadly in the United States.

Additionally, laws relating to the potential liability of providers of online services for activities of their users and other third parties are currently being tested by a number of claims, including actions based on invasion of privacy and other torts, unfair competition, copyright, and trademark infringement and other theories based on the nature and content of the materials searched, the ads posted, or the content provided by users. In addition, regulatory authorities in the United States at the federal and state level are considering a number of legislative and regulatory proposals concerning privacy and other matters that may be applicable to Wag!’s business. For more information regarding such privacy and security laws and regulations, and the impact of such laws and regulations on Wag!’s business, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Privacy and Technology — Changes in laws, regulations, or industry standards relating to privacy, data protection, or the protection or transfer of data relating to individuals, or any actual or perceived failure by Wag! to comply with such laws and regulations or any other obligations, including contractual obligations, relating to privacy, data protection, or the protection or transfer of data relating to individuals, could adversely affect Wag!’s business.” It is also likely that if Wag!’s business grows and evolves and Wag!’s services are used in a greater number of geographies, Wag! would become subject to laws and regulations in additional jurisdictions. It is difficult to predict how existing laws would be applied to Wag!’s business and the new laws to which it may become subject.

In the United States, money transmission is subject to various state and federal laws and the rules and regulations are enforced by multiple authorities and governing bodies, including numerous federal, state, and local agencies who may define money transmission differently. Outside of the United States, Wag! would be subject to additional laws, rules, and regulations related to the provision of payments and financial services if it expands internationally. If Wag! expands into new jurisdictions, the foreign regulations and regulators governing Wag!’s business that Wag! is subject to will expand as well. Noncompliance with such regulations may subject Wag! to fines or other penalties in one or more jurisdictions levied by federal or state or local regulators, including state Attorneys General, as well as those levied by foreign regulators. In addition to fines, penalties for failing to comply with applicable rules, and regulations could include criminal and civil proceedings, forfeiture of significant assets or other enforcement actions. Wag! could also be required to make changes to Wag!’s business practices or compliance programs as a result of regulatory scrutiny.

Recent financial, political, and other events may increase the level of regulatory scrutiny on larger companies, technology companies in general and companies engaged in dealings with independent service providers or otherwise viewed as part of the “gig economy.” Regulatory and administrative bodies may enact new laws or promulgate new regulations that are adverse to Wag!’s business, or they may view matters or interpret laws and regulations differently than they have in the past or in a manner adverse to Wag!’s business, including by changing employment-related laws or by regulating or capping the commissions businesses like Wag!’s agree to with service providers or the fees that Wag! may charge Pet Parents. Given the short operating history to-date of Wag! and its licensed insurance subsidiary, and the rapid speed of growth of both, Wag! is particularly vulnerable to regulators reviewing its practices and customer communications. As

69

a result of any noncompliance with such requirements, regulators could impose fines, rebates or other penalties, including revocation or suspension of its licenses, and cease-and-desist orders for an individual state, or all states, until the identified noncompliance is rectified. In addition, regulatory scrutiny or action may create different or conflicting obligations on Wag! from one jurisdiction to another, which creates additional challenges to managing Wag!’s business.

Wag!’s success, or perceived success, and increased visibility may also drive some businesses that perceive Wag!’s business model as a threat to their services, or otherwise negatively, to raise their concerns to local policymakers and regulators. These businesses and their trade association groups or other organizations may take actions and employ significant resources to shape the legal and regulatory regimes in jurisdictions where Wag! may have, or seek to have, a market presence in an effort to change such legal and regulatory regimes in ways intended to adversely affect or impede Wag!’s business and the ability of Pet Parents and service providers to use Wag!’s platform.

If Wag! is not able to comply with these laws or regulations or if it becomes liable under these laws or regulations, including any future laws or regulations that it may not be able to anticipate at this time, it could be materially adversely affected and it may be forced to implement new measures to reduce Wag!’s exposure to this liability. This may require Wag! to expend substantial resources or to discontinue certain services or platform features, which would adversely affect Wag!’s business. Any failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could also subject Wag! to claims and other legal and regulatory proceedings, fines, or other penalties, criminal and civil proceedings, forfeiture of significant assets, and other enforcement actions. In addition, the increased attention to liability issues as a result of lawsuits and legislative proposals could adversely affect Wag!’s reputation or otherwise impact the growth of Wag!’s business. Any costs incurred to prevent or mitigate this potential liability are also expected to adversely affect Wag!’s business, financial condition, and operating results.

Government regulation of the Internet, mobile devices and e-commerce is evolving and unfavorable changes could substantially adversely affect Wag!’s business, financial condition, and operating results.

Wag! is subject to general business regulations and laws as well as regulations and laws specifically governing the Internet, mobile devices, and e-commerce that are constantly evolving. Existing and future laws and regulations, or changes thereto, may impede the growth of the Internet, mobile devices, e-commerce, or other online services and increase the cost of providing online services, require Wag! to change Wag!’s business practices, or raise compliance costs or other costs of doing business. These regulations and laws, which continue to evolve, may address taxation, tariffs, privacy, data retention and protection, data security, pricing and commissions, content, copyrights, distribution, social media marketing, advertising practices, sweepstakes, mobile, electronic contracts and other communications, consumer protection, text messaging, Internet and mobile application access to Wag!’s offerings and the characteristics and quality of online offerings, the provision of online payment services, and the characteristics and quality of services. For more information regarding such privacy and security laws and regulations, and the impact of such laws and regulations on Wag!’s business, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Privacy and Technology — Changes in laws, regulations, or industry standards relating to privacy, data protection, or the protection or transfer of data relating to individuals, or any actual or perceived failure by Wag! to comply with such laws and regulations or any other obligations, including contractual obligations, relating to privacy, data protection, or the protection or transfer of data relating to individuals, could adversely affect Wag!’s business.” It is not clear how existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, sales, use and other taxes, libel, and personal privacy apply to the Internet and e-commerce. In addition, if Wag! expands internationally, it is possible that foreign government entities may seek to censor content available on Wag!’s mobile applications or website or may even attempt to block access to Wag!’s mobile applications and website. Any failure, or perceived failure, by Wag! to comply with any of these laws or regulations could result in damage to Wag!’s reputation and brand, a loss in business and proceedings, or actions against Wag! by governmental entities or others, which could adversely affect Wag!’s business, financial condition, and operating results.

Wag! is subject to regulatory inquiries, claims, lawsuits, government investigations, and various proceedings and other disputes, and may face potential liability and expenses for legal claims, which could materially adversely affect Wag!’s business, operating results, and financial condition.

Wag! is or may become subject to claims, lawsuits, arbitration proceedings, government investigations, and other legal, regulatory, and administrative proceedings, including those involving pet injury, personal

70

injury, property damage, worker classification, pay model, labor and employment, unemployment insurance benefits, workers’ compensation, anti-discrimination, commercial disputes, competition, Pet Caregiver and Pet Parent complaints, intellectual property disputes, compliance with regulatory requirements, data security, advertising practices, tax issues, and other matters. Wag! may become subject to additional types of claims, lawsuits, government investigations, and legal or regulatory proceedings as its business grows and as it deploys new services. Results of investigations, inquiries, and related governmental action are inherently unpredictable and, as such, there is always the risk of an investigation, or inquiry having a material impact on Wag!’s business, financial condition, and operating results, particularly if an investigation, or inquiry results in a lawsuit or unfavorable regulatory enforcement or other action. Any claims against Wag!, whether meritorious or not, could be time-consuming and can have an adverse impact on Wag! in light of the costs associated with cooperating with, or defending against, such matters and the diversion of management resources and other factors.

Determining reserves for Wag!’s pending litigation is a complex and fact-intensive process that requires significant subjective judgment and speculation. It is possible that a resolution of one or more such proceedings could result in substantial damages, settlement costs, fines, and penalties that could adversely affect Wag!’s business, financial condition, and operating results. These proceedings could also result in harm to Wag!’s reputation and brand, sanctions, consent decrees, injunctions, or other orders requiring a change in Wag!’s business practices. Any of these consequences could adversely affect Wag!’s business, financial condition, and operating results. Further, under certain circumstances, Wag! has contractual and other legal obligations to indemnify and to incur legal expenses on behalf of Wag!’s business and commercial partners and current and former directors and officers.

Wag! is subject to claims, lawsuits, and other legal proceedings seeking to hold Wag! vicariously liable for the actions of pets, Pet Parents, and Pet Caregivers.

Wag! is subject to claims, lawsuits, and other legal proceedings seeking to hold Wag! vicariously liable for the actions of pets, Pet Parents, and Pet Caregivers. In the ordinary course of business, Wag!’s customer service team receives claims pursuant to the Customer Claims Policy. Claims and threats of legal action that arise from pet sitting services booked through the Wag! website or applications may be sent directly to Wag!’s legal department or may be received by Wag!’s customer service team. Various parties have from time to time claimed and may claim in the future, that Wag! is liable for damages related to accidents or other incidents involving pets, Pet Parents, Pet Caregivers, and third parties. For example, third parties have asserted legal claims against Wag! in connection with personal injuries related to pet or human safety issues or accidents caused by Pet Caregivers or animals. Wag! has incurred expenses to settle personal injury claims, which it sometimes chooses to settle for reasons including customer goodwill, expediency, protection of Wag!’s reputation, and to prevent the uncertainty of litigating, and it expects that such expenses will continue to increase as its business grows and it faces increasing public scrutiny. Wag! currently is named as a defendant in a number of matters related to accidents or other incidents involving users of Wag!’s platform, pets, or third parties. Pending or threatened legal proceedings could have a material impact on Wag!’s business, financial condition, or operating results. Regardless of the outcome of any legal proceeding, any injuries to, or deaths of, any Pet Parents, Pet Caregivers, animals, or third parties could result in negative publicity and harm to Wag!’s brand, reputation, business, financial condition, and operating results.

Reports, whether true or not, of animal-borne illnesses and injuries caused by pet care or unsanitary handling, cleaning, or grooming or other pet services incidents have led to potential legal claims against and severely injured the reputations of, participants in the pet services business and could do so in the future as well. In addition, reports of animal-borne illnesses or other safety issues occurring solely at competitors that are not on Wag!’s platform, could, as a result of negative publicity about the pet services industry generally, adversely affect Wag!’s business, financial condition, and operating results.

Wag! also faces potential liability and expense for claims, including class, collective and other representative actions, by or relating to Pet Caregivers regarding, among other things, the classification of Pet Caregivers that use Wag!’s platform as well as Wag!’s caregiver pay model, including claims regarding disclosures it makes with respect to sales tax, service fees, and gratuities, the process of signing up to become a Pet Caregiver, including the background check process and the nature and frequency of Wag!’s communications to Pet Caregivers via email, text, or telephone. Wag! also faces potential liability and

71

expense for claims, including class actions, relating to, among other things, its caregiver pay model, including claims regarding disclosures it makes with respect to sales tax, service fees and gratuities, the services it facilitates, discrepancies between the information on its website and mobile applications, the experience of Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers, and the nature and frequency of its marketing communications via email, text, or telephone.

For additional information, please see “Information About Wag! — Legal Proceedings.”

In addition, Wag! faces potential claims and litigation relating to possible pet and human fatalities, injuries, other violent acts, illness (including COVID-19), cancellations and refunds, property damage, motor vehicle accidents, and privacy or data protection violations that occurred during a service booked on Wag!’s platform. Wag! could face additional litigation and government inquiries and fines relating to Wag!’s business practices, cancellations, and other consequences due to natural disasters or other unforeseen events beyond Wag!’s control such as wars, regional hostilities, health concerns, including epidemics and pandemics such as COVID-19, or law enforcement demands and other regulatory actions.

Wag! may be impacted by costly or burdensome arbitration and class action proceedings, and its use of arbitration and class action waivers subjects Wag! to certain risks to its reputation and brand, as well as challenges to those waivers.

Wag! includes arbitration and class action waiver provisions in Wag!’s terms of service with the Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers that use Wag!’s platform, as well as in the Pet Care Provider Platform Use Agreement that Pet Caregivers must sign to be approved to provide services on Wag!’s platform. These provisions are intended to streamline the litigation process for all parties involved, as they can in some cases be faster and less costly than litigating disputes in state or federal court. However, arbitration can be costly and burdensome and the use of arbitration and class action waiver provisions subjects Wag! to certain risks to Wag!’s reputation and brand, as these provisions have been the subject of increasing public scrutiny. In order to minimize these risks to Wag!’s reputation and brand, Wag! may limit its use of arbitration and class action waiver provisions or be required to do so in a legal or regulatory proceeding, either of which could cause an increase in Wag!’s litigation costs and exposure. Additionally, Wag! permits certain users of its platform to opt out of such provisions, which could also cause an increase in Wag!’s litigation costs and exposure.

Further, with the potential for conflicting rules regarding the scope and enforceability of arbitration and class action waivers on a state-by-state basis, as well as between state and federal law, there is a risk that some or all of Wag!’s arbitration and class action waiver provisions could be subject to challenge or may need to be revised to exempt certain categories of protection. If these provisions were found to be unenforceable, in whole or in part, or specific claims are required to be exempted, Wag! could experience an increase in Wag!’s costs to litigate disputes and the time involved in resolving such disputes and Wag! could face increased exposure to potentially costly lawsuits, each of which could adversely affect Wag!’s business, financial condition, and operating results.

Wag! is subject to various U.S. anti-corruption laws and other anti-bribery and anti-kickback laws and regulations.

Wag! is subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or the FCPA, and other anticorruption, anti-bribery, and anti-money laundering laws in the jurisdictions in which it does business. These laws generally prohibit Wag! and Wag!’s employees from improperly influencing government officials or commercial parties in order to obtain or retain business, direct business to any person, or gain any improper advantage. The FCPA and other applicable anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws also may hold Wag! liable for acts of corruption and bribery committed by Wag!’s third-party business partners, representatives, and agents who are acting on Wag!’s behalf. Wag! and its third-party business partners, representatives, and agents may have direct or indirect interactions with officials and employees of government agencies or state-owned or affiliated entities and it may be held liable for the corrupt or other illegal activities of these third-party business partners and intermediaries and its employees, representatives, contractors, and agents, even if it does not explicitly authorize such activities. These laws also require that Wag! keeps accurate books and records and maintain internal controls and compliance procedures designed to prevent any such actions. While Wag! has policies and procedures to address compliance with such laws,

72

it cannot assure that its employees and agents will not take actions in violation of its policies or applicable law, for which it may be ultimately held responsible and its exposure for violating these laws increases as its international presence expands and as it increases sales and operations in foreign jurisdictions. Any violation of the FCPA or other applicable anti-bribery, anti-corruption, and anti-money laundering laws could result in whistleblower complaints, adverse media coverage, investigations, imposition of significant legal fees, loss of export privileges, severe criminal or civil sanctions, or suspension or debarment from U.S. government contracts, substantial diversion of management’s attention, a drop in New Wag!’s stock price, or overall adverse consequences to Wag!’s business, all of which may have an adverse effect on Wag!’s reputation, business, financial condition, and operating results.

Taxing authorities may successfully assert that Wag! has not properly collected, or in the future should collect, sales and use, gross receipts, value added, or similar taxes and may successfully impose additional obligations on Wag! and any such assessments, obligations, or inaccuracies could adversely affect Wag!’s business, financial condition, and operating results.

The application of non-income, or indirect, taxes, such as sales and use tax, value-added tax, goods and services tax, business tax, and gross receipt tax, to businesses like Wag!’s is a complex and evolving issue. Many of the fundamental statutes and regulations that impose these taxes were established before the adoption and growth of the Internet and e-commerce. Significant judgment is required on an ongoing basis to evaluate applicable tax obligations and as a result, amounts recorded are estimates and are subject to adjustments. In many cases, the ultimate tax determination is uncertain because it is not clear how new and existing statutes might apply to Wag!’s business.

In addition, governments are increasingly looking for ways to increase revenue, which has resulted in discussions about tax reform and other legislative action to increase tax revenue, including through indirect taxes. Such taxes could adversely affect Wag!’s financial condition, and operating results. For instance, if Wag! or Pet Caregivers try to pass along increased additional taxes and raise fees or prices to pet parents, booking volume may decline.

Wag! is subject to indirect taxes, such as payroll, sales, use, value-added, and goods and services taxes and it has, and may in the future, face various indirect tax audits in various U.S. jurisdictions. Wag! believes that it remits indirect taxes in all relevant jurisdictions in which it generates taxable sales, based on its understanding of the applicable laws in those jurisdictions. However, tax authorities may raise questions about, or challenge or disagree with, Wag!’s calculation, reporting, or collection of taxes and may require Wag! to collect taxes in jurisdictions in which Wag! does not currently do so or to remit additional taxes and interest and could impose associated penalties and fees. Further, even where Wag! is collecting taxes and remitting them to the appropriate authorities, it may fail to accurately calculate, collect, report, and remit such taxes. A successful assertion by one or more tax authorities requiring Wag! to collect taxes in jurisdictions in which it does not currently do so or to collect additional taxes in a jurisdiction in which it currently collect taxes, could result in substantial tax liabilities, including taxes on past sales, as well as penalties and interest, could discourage Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers from utilizing its offerings, or could otherwise harm its business, financial condition, and operating results. Wag! is currently subject to audits by taxing authorities and other forms of investigation, audit, or inquiry conducted by federal, state, or local governmental agencies. Wag! is also subject to routine IRS audits, including those regarding 1099 Statements. As of December 31, 2021, management did not believe that the outcome of pending matters would have a material adverse effect on Wag!’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. For more information, see the section entitled, “Information About Wag! — Legal Proceedings”.

As a result of these and other factors, the ultimate amount of tax obligations owed may differ from the amounts recorded in Wag!’s financial statements and any such difference may adversely affect Wag!’s operating results in future periods in which Wag! changes its estimate of tax obligations or in which the ultimate tax outcome is determined.

Wag! may have exposure to greater than anticipated tax liabilities.

Wag! is subject to income taxes in the United States. Wag!’s effective tax rate could be materially adversely affected by changes in the mix of earnings and losses in jurisdictions with differing statutory tax

73

rates, changes in tax laws, tax treaties, and regulations or the interpretation of them, certain non-deductible expenses, and the valuation of deferred tax assets. Increases in Wag!’s effective tax rate would reduce profitability or increase losses.

Many of the underlying laws, rules and regulations imposing taxes and other obligations were established before the growth of the Internet and ecommerce. Taxing authorities in various jurisdictions are currently reviewing the appropriate treatment of companies engaged in Internet commerce and may make changes to existing tax or other laws that could result in additional taxes relating to Wag!’s activities, and/or impose obligations on us to collect such taxes. New tax laws or regulations could be enacted at any time, which could adversely affect Wag!’s business operations and financial performance. Further, existing tax laws and regulations could be interpreted, modified or applied adversely to Wag!.

Wag! has been subject to examination and may be subject to examination in the future, by federal, state, and local tax authorities on income, employment, sales, and other tax matters. While Wag! regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes from such examinations and the adequacy of Wag!’s provision for taxes, there can be no assurance that such provision is sufficient and that a determination by a tax authority would not have an adverse effect on Wag!’s business, financial condition, and operating results. Certain risks relating to employment taxes and sales taxes are described in more detail under “If Pet Caregivers are reclassified as employees under applicable law, Wag!’s business would be materially adversely affected.” If Pet Caregivers are reclassified as employees under federal or state law, Wag!’s business would be materially adversely affected. Taxing authorities may successfully assert that Wag! has not properly collected, or in the future should collect, sales and use, gross receipts, value added, or similar taxes and may successfully impose additional obligations on Wag! and any such assessments, obligations, or inaccuracies could adversely affect its business, financial condition, and operating results.

Wag!’s ability to use its net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited.

As of December 31, 2021, Wag! had U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) of approximately $200 million and $171 million, respectively. The federal NOLs generated as of December 31, 2017 of $23.3 million will expire in 2037, while $176.6 million federal NOLs generated in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 do not expire but may only offset 80% of taxable income in periods of future utilization. The state NOLs will begin to expire in 2038 and will continue to expire through 2041. It is possible that Wag! will not generate taxable income in time to use NOLs before their expiration, or at all. Under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change,” the corporation’s ability to use its pre-change NOLs and certain other tax attributes to offset its post-change taxable income may be limited. In general, an “ownership change” will occur if there is a cumulative change in Wag!’s ownership by “5 percent stockholders” that exceeds 50 percentage points over a rolling three-year period. Similar rules may apply under state tax laws. Wag! has, in the past, experienced ownership changes, and if it experiences one or more ownership changes as a result of the proposed Business Combination or future transactions in Wag!’s stock, Wag!’s ability to use NOLs to reduce future taxable income and liabilities may be subject to annual limitations as a result of prior ownership changes and ownership changes that may occur in the future, including as a result of this offering.

NOLs arising in taxable years ending after December 31, 2017 can be carried forward indefinitely, but NOLs generated in tax years ending before January 1, 2018 will continue to have a two-year carryback and 20-year carryforward period. In addition, the CARES Act allows NOLs incurred in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a refund of previously paid income taxes. As Wag! maintains a full valuation allowance against Wag!’s U.S. NOLs, these changes will not impact Wag!’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 or results of operations.

Under the legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, or the Tax Act, as amended by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), net operating losses incurred in taxable years that began after December 31, 2017 may offset 100% of current year taxable income in 2018, 2019, and 2020 taxable years and limited to 80% for tax years after December 31, 2020. There is also a risk that Wag!’s existing net operating losses or tax credits could expire or otherwise be unavailable to offset future income tax liabilities, either as the result of regulatory changes issued, possibly with retroactive effect, by various jurisdictions seeking to raise revenue to help counter the fiscal impact of the

74

COVID-19 pandemic, or for other unforeseen reasons. A temporary suspension of the use of certain net operating losses and tax credits has been enacted in California and other states may enact suspensions as well.

Risks Related to Our Indebtedness

New Wag! will enter into a definitive financing agreement with Blue Torch Capital LP (“Blue Torch”) for a $30 million senior secured Credit Facility. The Credit Facility will be secured by substantially all assets of New Wag! and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Credit Parties”), including the Credit Parties’ intellectual property and equity interests in the Credit Parties’ subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. Additionally, the definitive documentation for the Credit Facility will state that, if there is an occurrence of an uncured event of default, Blue Torch will be able to foreclose on all or some of the Credit Parties’ assets that are collateral for the Credit Facility, and securities in the Credit Parties and their subsidiaries could be rendered worthless.

New Wag! will enter into a definitive financing agreement with Blue Torch Capital LP (“Blue Torch”) for a $30 million senior secured Credit Facility in connection with the closing of the Business Combination. The Credit Facility will be secured by substantially all assets of New Wag! and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Credit Parties”), including the Credit Parties’ intellectual property and equity interests in the Credit Parties’ subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions. Additionally, the definitive documentation for the Credit Facility will state that, if the Credit Parties default on their payment or performance obligations in respect of the Credit Facility, Blue Torch will be able to foreclose on all or some of the Credit Parties’ assets that are collateral for the Credit Facility, which would materially harm the Credit Parties’ business, financial condition and results of operations. The pledge of these assets and other restrictions contained in the definitive financing documentation for the Credit Facility may also limit the Credit Parties’ flexibility in raising capital for other purposes. Because substantially all of the Credit Parties’ assets will be pledged to secure the Credit Facility, the Credit Parties’ ability to incur additional secured indebtedness or to sell or dispose of assets to raise capital may be impaired, which could have an adverse effect on the Credit Parties’ financial flexibility. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Agreement — Additional Agreements — Financing” located elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus for more information about the Credit Facility.

Our debt obligations could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

We have incurred in the past, and may incur in the future, debt to finance our operations, capital investments, and business acquisitions and to restructure our capital structure.

Our debt obligations could materially and adversely impact us. For example, these obligations could:

•

require us to use a large portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on debt, which will reduce the amount of cash flow available to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, research and development, or R&D, expenditures and other business activities;

•

result in certain of our debt instruments being accelerated to be immediately due and payable or being deemed to be in default if certain terms of default are triggered, such as applicable cross-default and/or cross-acceleration provisions;

•

limit our future ability to raise funds for capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions or business opportunities, R&D and other general corporate requirements;

•

restrict our ability to incur specified indebtedness, create or incur certain liens and enter into sale-leaseback financing transactions;

•

increase our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions; and

•

increase our exposure to interest rate risk from variable rate indebtedness.

Our financing agreement with Blue Torch will contain covenants, including requirements to maintain certain levels of minimum revenue and minimum liquidity, restrictions on restricted payments and other customary debt covenants. A breach of the covenants can result in an event of default under the Credit Facility and as such allow Blue Torch to pursue certain remedies. In addition, the Credit Facility will include

75

cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions that could result in the Credit Facility being accelerated and/or terminated if an event of default or acceleration of maturity occurs under any of our other indebtedness. For more information about these and other financing arrangements, see “Wag!’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources.” Our ability to comply with these provisions may be affected by events beyond our control, and if we are unable to meet or maintain the necessary covenant requirements or satisfy, or obtain waivers for, the continuing covenants and other performance obligations contained in the Credit Facility, we may lose the ability to borrow under all of our debt facilities, which could materially and adversely affect our business.

Our ability to meet our payment obligations under our debt facilities depends on our ability to generate significant cash flows or obtain external financing in the future. We cannot assure you that we will be able to generate sufficient cash flow or obtain external financing on terms acceptable to us or at all.

Our ability to meet our payment obligations under our debt facilities depends on our ability to generate significant cash flows or obtain external financing in the future. This ability, to some extent, is subject to market, economic, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors as well as other factors that are beyond our control. There can be no assurance that our business will generate cash flow from operations, or that additional capital will be available to us, in amounts sufficient to enable us to meet our debt payment obligations and to fund other liquidity needs. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows to service our debt payment obligations, we may need to refinance or restructure our debt, sell assets, reduce or delay capital investments, or seek to raise additional capital. If we are unable to implement one or more of these alternatives, we may be unable to meet our debt payment obligations, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

Our ability to refinance existing debt and borrow additional funds is affected by a variety of factors, including:

•

limitations imposed on us under existing and future debt facilities that contain restrictive covenants and borrowing conditions that may limit our ability to raise additional debt;

•

a decline in liquidity in the credit markets, including due to the COVID-19 pandemic;

•

volatility in our business;

•

prevailing interest rates;

•

the financial strength of the lenders from whom we borrow;

•

the decision of lenders from whom we borrow to reduce their exposure to our industry due to global economic conditions, or a change in such lenders’ strategic plan, future lines of business, the COVID-19 pandemic, or otherwise;

•

the amount of eligible collateral pledged on debt facilities, which may be less than the borrowing capacity of these facilities;

•

more stringent financial covenants in such refinanced facilities, which we may not be able to achieve; and

•

accounting changes that impact calculations of covenants in our debt facilities.

If the refinancing or borrowing guidelines become more stringent and such changes result in increased costs to comply or decreased loan production volume, such changes could materially and adversely affect our business.

Risks Related to Privacy and Technology

Wag! has been subject to cybersecurity attacks in the past and anticipates being the target of future attacks. Any actual or perceived breach of security or security incident or privacy or data protection breach or violation, including via cyberattacks, data breaches, hacks, ransomware attacks, data loss, unauthorized access to or use of data (including personal information) and other breaches of its information technology systems, could interrupt Wag!’s operations, harm its brand, and adversely affect its reputation, business, financial condition, and operating results.

Wag!’s business involves the collection, storage, processing, and transmission of personal information and other sensitive and proprietary data of Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers. Additionally, Wag! maintains

76

sensitive and proprietary information relating to Wag!’s business, such as Wag!’s own proprietary information, other confidential information, and personal information relating to individuals such as Wag!’s employees. An increasing number of organizations have disclosed breaches of their information security systems and other information security incidents, some of which have involved sophisticated and highly targeted attacks. Given the nature of the information Wag! uses and stores, third parties may seek to gain unauthorized access to such information, and thus the secure maintenance of this information is critical to Wag!’s business and reputation. In addition, these incidents can originate on Wag!’s vendors’ websites, which can then be leveraged to access Wag!’s website, further preventing Wag!’s ability to successfully identify and mitigate the attack.

Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to or to sabotage information systems change frequently and may not be known until launched against Wag!, even if it takes all reasonable precautions, including to the extent required by law, Wag! may be unable to anticipate or prevent these attacks, react in a timely manner, or implement adequate preventive measures and may face delays in Wag!’s detection or remediation of, or other responses to, security breaches and other privacy-, data protection- and security-related incidents. Additionally, because Wag! may also share information with third-party service providers to conduct its business, if any of its business partners or service providers with whom Wag! shares information fail to implement adequate data-security practices or fail to comply with Wag!’s terms and policies or otherwise suffer a network or other security breach, Wag!’s users’ information may be improperly accessed, used or disclosed. Such breaches experienced by other companies may also be leveraged against Wag!. For example, credential stuffing attacks are becoming increasingly common and sophisticated actors can mask their attacks, making them increasingly difficult to identify and prevent. Wag! has previously experienced incidents of fraud on its platform that it believes involved credential stuffing attacks and which it was unable to preemptively detect or prevent. In addition, hardware, software, or applications Wag! develops or procures from third parties may contain defects in design or manufacture or other problems that could unexpectedly compromise information security, or users on Wag!’s platform could have vulnerabilities on their own devices that are unrelated to Wag!’s systems and platform but could mistakenly be attributed to Wag!. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Privacy and Technology — Any error, bug, vulnerability or systems defect or failure and resulting interruptions in the availability of Wag!’s website, mobile applications, or platform could adversely affect Wag!’s business, financial condition, and operating results.”

Although Wag! has developed reasonable systems and processes that are designed to protect data of Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers that use its platform, protect its systems and the proprietary, sensitive and confidential information it maintains, prevent data loss, and prevent security breaches and security incidents, Wag!’s security measures have not fully protected against such matters in the past. For example, we have been subject to phishing, credential stuffing or distributed denial-of-service attacks, and therefore Wag! cannot guarantee that no such or other attacks will occur in the future or that they will not be successful. Accordingly, Wag! may experience data security breaches, cyberattacks, hacks, ransomware attacks, data loss, unauthorized access to or use of data (including personal information) or other data security incidents. Further, the IT and infrastructure used in Wag!’s business may be vulnerable to cyberattacks or security breaches or to damages from computer viruses, worms, and other malicious software programs or other attacks, covert introduction of malware to computers and networks, unauthorized access, including impersonation of unauthorized users, efforts to discover and exploit any security vulnerabilities or securities weaknesses, and other similar disruptions, which may permit third parties to access data, including personal information and other sensitive data of Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers, Wag!’s employees’ personal information, or Wag!’s other sensitive, confidential or proprietary data that it maintains or that otherwise is accessible through those systems. For more information see “Risk Factors — Any error, bug, vulnerability or systems defect or failure and resulting interruptions in the availability of Wag!’s website, mobile applications, or platform could adversely affect Wag!’s business, financial condition, and operating results.” Employee error, malfeasance, or other errors in the storage, use, or transmission of any of these types of data also could result in an actual or perceived privacy, data protection, or security breach or other security incident. In addition, outside parties may attempt to fraudulently induce employees, service providers, users or customers to disclose sensitive information in order to gain access to Wag!’s data or the data or accounts of Wag!’s users or other parties. Although Wag! has policies restricting access to the information it stores, there is a risk that these policies may not be effective in all cases.

77

Any actual or perceived breach of privacy or data protection, or any actual or perceived security breach or other incident that impacts Wag!’s platform or systems, other IT and infrastructure used in Wag!’s business, or data maintained or processed in Wag!’s business, could interrupt Wag!’s operations, result in Wag!’s platform being unavailable, result in loss or improper access to, or acquisition or disclosure of, data, result in fraudulent transfer of funds, harm Wag!’s reputation, brand and competitive position, damage Wag!’s relationships with third-party partners, or result in claims, litigation, regulatory investigations and proceedings, increased credit card processing fees and other costs, and significant legal, regulatory and financial exposure, including, but not limited to, ongoing monitoring by regulators and any such incidents or any perception that Wag!’s security measures are inadequate could lead to loss of Pet Parents’ and Pet Caregivers’ confidence in, or decreased use of, Wag!’s platform, any of which could adversely affect Wag!’s business, financial condition, and operating results. Any actual or perceived breach of privacy, data protection or security, or other security incident, impacting any entities with which Wag! shares or discloses data (including, for example, Wag!’s third-party technology providers) could have similar effects. Further, any cyberattacks or actual or perceived security, privacy or data protection breaches, and other incidents directed at, or suffered by, Wag!’s competitors could reduce confidence in Wag!’s industry and, as a result, reduce confidence in Wag!. Wag! also expects to incur significant costs in an effort to detect and prevent privacy, data protection and security breaches, and other privacy-, data protection- and security-related incidents and it may face increased costs and requirements to expend substantial resources in the event of an actual or perceived privacy, data protection, or security breach or other incident occurs.

While Wag! maintains cyber insurance that may help provide coverage for these types of incidents, it cannot assure you that Wag!’s insurance will be adequate to cover all of its costs and liabilities related to any incidents, that insurance will continue to be available to Wag! on economically reasonable terms, or at all, or that any insurer will not deny coverage as to any future claim. The successful assertion of one or more large claims against Wag! that exceed available insurance coverage or the occurrence of changes in Wag!’s insurance policies, including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements, could adversely affect Wag!’s business, reputation, results of operations, and financial condition.

Changes in laws, regulations, or industry standards relating to privacy, data protection, or the protection or transfer of data relating to individuals, or any actual or perceived failure by Wag! to comply with such laws and regulations or any other obligations, including contractual obligations, relating to privacy, data protection, or the protection or transfer of data relating to individuals, could adversely affect Wag!’s business.

Wag! receives, transmits, and stores a large volume of regulated, personally identifiable information relating to users on its platform, as well as personally identifiable information relating to other individuals such as its employees. Numerous local, municipal, state, federal, and international laws and regulations address privacy and the collection, storing, sharing, use, disclosure, disposal, and protection of certain types of data, including, but not limited to the California Online Privacy Protection Act, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (restricting telemarketing and the use of automated SMS text messaging), Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, and the California Consumer Privacy Act and its accompanying regulations (collectively the “CCPA”). These laws, rules, and regulations regulating the personal information received, transmitted, and stored by Wag! evolve frequently and their scope may continually change, through new legislation, amendments to existing legislation and changes in enforcement and may be inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another.

The CCPA, which went into effect on January 1, 2020, among other things, requires covered companies to provide new disclosures to California consumers about such companies’ data collection, use and sharing practices, gives California residents expanded rights to access and delete their personal information, and affords such consumers abilities to opt out of certain sharing and sales of personal information. The law also prohibits covered businesses from discriminating against consumers (for example, charging more for services) for exercising their CCPA rights. The CCPA imposes severe statutory damages as well as a private right of action for certain data breaches that result in the unauthorized access to, or exfiltration, theft, or disclosure of personal information. This private right of action is expected to increase the likelihood of and risks associated with data breach litigation. The CCPA has not been subject to significant litigation and judicial interpretation and it remains unclear how various provisions of the CCPA will be interpreted and

78

enforced. Subsequently, in November 2020, California voters passed the California Privacy Rights and Enforcement Act of 2020 (the “CPRA”). The CPRA, which will take effect in most material respects on January 1, 2023, further expands the CCPA with additional data privacy compliance requirements, including by expanding consumers’ rights with respect to certain sensitive personal information, that may impact Wag!’s business and establishes a regulatory agency dedicated to enforcing those requirements, potentially resulting in further uncertainty and requiring Wag! to incur additional costs and expenses, and potentially changing business practices, in an effort to comply.

The CPRA and the CCPA have led to other states passing similar laws. On March 2, 2021, Virginia passed the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, which goes into effect January 1, 2023, and on July 8, 2021, Colorado passed the Colorado Privacy Act, which goes into effect July 1, 2023. Both of the statutes in Virginia and Colorado were modeled after and are very similar to the CCPA and CPRA. These laws may lead other states or even the U.S. Congress to pass comparable legislation. The effects of the CPRA, the CCPA and other similar state or federal laws, are significant and may require Wag! to modify its data processing practices and policies and incur substantial compliance-related costs and expenses that are likely to increase over time. Additionally, many laws and regulations relating to privacy and the collection, storing, sharing, use, disclosure, and protection of certain types of data are subject to varying degrees of enforcement and new and changing interpretations by courts and may require Wag! to divert resources from other initiatives and projects to address these evolving compliance and operational requirements. The CCPA, CPRA, the Virginia and Colorado privacy laws and other laws or regulations relating to privacy, data protection, and information security, particularly any new or modified laws or regulations, or changes to the interpretation or enforcement of such laws or regulations, that require enhanced protection of certain types of data or new obligations with regard to data retention, transfer, or disclosure, could greatly increase the cost of providing Wag!’s platform, require significant changes to Wag!’s operations, or even prevent Wag! from providing its platform in jurisdictions in which Wag! currently operates and in which it may operate in the future, all of which may have a material and adverse impact on Wag!’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Additionally, Wag! has incurred and may continue to incur, significant expenses in an effort to comply with privacy, data protection, and information security standards and protocols imposed by law, regulation, industry standards, or contractual obligations. Publication of Wag!’s privacy statement and other policies regarding privacy, data protection, and data security may subject Wag! to investigation or enforcement actions by regulators if those statements or policies are found to be deficient, lacking transparency, deceptive, unfair, or misrepresentative of Wag!’s practices. In general, negative publicity of Wag! regarding actual or perceived violations of its end users’ privacy-related rights, including fines and enforcement actions against it or other similarly placed businesses, also may impair users’ trust in Wag!’s privacy practices and make them reluctant to give their consent to share their data with Wag!. In addition to government regulation, privacy advocates and industry groups have and may in the future propose self-regulatory standards from time to time, which may legally or contractually apply to Wag!, or it may elect to comply with such standards. These various privacy, data protection, and data security legal obligations that apply to Wag! may evolve in a manner that relates to Wag!’s practices or the features of Wag!’s mobile applications or website and Wag! may need to take additional measures to comply with the new and evolving legal obligations, including but not limited to training efforts for Wag!’s employees, contractors, and third-party partners. Such efforts may not be successful or may have other negative consequences. In particular, with laws and regulations such as the CCPA and industry standards imposing new and relatively burdensome obligations and with substantial uncertainty over the interpretation and application of these and other laws and regulations, Wag! may face challenges in addressing their requirements and making necessary changes to Wag!’s policies and practices and may incur significant costs and expenses in an effort to do so.

Wag! also is bound by contractual obligations related to privacy, data protection, and data security and Wag!’s efforts to comply with such obligations may not be successful or may have other negative consequences. With regard to Wag!’s commercial arrangements, Wag! and its counterparties, including business partners and external service providers, might be subject to contractual obligations regarding the processing of personal data. While Wag! believes its and its counterparties’ conduct under these agreements is in material compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, standards, certifications and orders relating to data privacy or security, Wag! or its counterparties may fail, or be alleged to have failed, to be in full compliance. In the event that Wag!’s acts or omissions result in alleged or actual failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations,

79

standards, certifications and orders relating to data privacy or security, Wag! may incur liability. While Wag! endeavors to include indemnification provisions or other protections in such agreements to mitigate liability and losses stemming from its counterparties’ acts or omissions, Wag! may not always be able to negotiate for such protections and, even where it can, there is no guarantee that its counterparties will honor such provisions or that such protections will cover the full scope of Wag!’s liabilities and losses.

Despite Wag!’s efforts to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and other obligations relating to privacy, data protection, and information security, it is possible that Wag!’s interpretations of the law, practices, or platform could be inconsistent with, or fail or be alleged to fail to meet all requirements of, such laws, regulations, or obligations. Wag!’s failure, or the failure by Wag!’s third-party providers, Pet Parents, or Pet Caregivers on Wag!’s platform, or consequences associated with Wag!’s efforts to comply with applicable laws or regulations or any other obligations relating to privacy, data protection, or information security, or any compromise of security that results in unauthorized access to, or use or release of data relating to Pet Caregivers, Pet Parents, or other individuals, or the perception that any of the foregoing types of failure or compromise has occurred, could damage Wag!’s reputation, discourage new and existing Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents from using Wag!’s platform, or result in fines, investigations, or proceedings by governmental agencies and private claims and litigation, any of which could adversely affect Wag!’s business, financial condition, and operating results. Even if not subject to legal challenge, the perception of privacy concerns, whether or not valid, may harm Wag!’s reputation and brand which could materially adversely affect its business, financial condition, and operating results.

The success of Wag!’s platform relies on Wag!’s algorithms and other proprietary technology and any failure to operate and improve Wag!’s algorithms or to develop other innovative proprietary technology effectively could materially adversely affect Wag!’s business, financial condition, and operating results.

Wag! uses proprietary algorithms in an effort to maximize user satisfaction and retention, as well as to optimize return on marketing expenses. Any failure to successfully operate or improve Wag!’s algorithms or to develop other innovative proprietary technology could materially adversely affect Wag!’s ability to maintain and expand its business. Operation failures could lead to fewer bookings, which could in turn lead to less or lower quality data, which could affect Wag!’s ability to improve its algorithms and maintain, market and scale its platform effectively. Additionally, there is increased governmental interest in regulating technology companies. Any failure, or perceived failure, or negative consequences associated with Wag!’s efforts to comply with any present or future laws or regulations in this area could subject Wag! to claims, actions, and other legal and regulatory proceedings, fines or other penalties, and other enforcement actions and result in damage to Wag!’s reputation and adversely affect Wag!’s business, financial condition, and operating results.

Any error, bug, vulnerability, or systems defect or failure and resulting interruptions in the availability of Wag!’s website, mobile applications, or platform could adversely affect Wag!’s business, financial condition, and operating results.

Wag!’s success depends on Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers being able to access Wag!’s platform at any time. Wag!’s systems, or those of third parties upon which Wag! relies, may experience service interruptions or degradation or other performance problems because of hardware and software defects, malfunctions or inappropriate maintenance, distributed denial-of-service and other cyberattacks, infrastructure changes, human error, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, fires, natural disasters, power losses, disruptions in telecommunications services, fraud, military or political conflicts, terrorist attacks, computer viruses, ransomware, malware, or other events. Wag!’s systems also may be subject to break-ins, sabotage, theft, and intentional acts of vandalism, including by Wag!’s own employees. In such an event, Wag! may need to expend additional resources to bring the incident to an end, mitigate the liability associated with the fallout of such incident, make notifications to regulators and individuals affected, replace damaged systems or assets, defend itself in legal proceedings and compensate customers or end users. Further, some of Wag!’s systems are not fully redundant and Wag!’s disaster recovery planning may not be sufficient for all eventualities. Wag!’s business interruption insurance may not be sufficient to cover all of Wag!’s losses that may result from interruptions in Wag!’s service as a result of systems failures and similar events.

Wag!’s platform incorporates highly technical and complex technologies. Such technologies and software may now or in the future contain undetected errors, bugs, or vulnerabilities, some of which may

80

only be discovered after the code has been released. Any error, bug or vulnerability in Wag!’s products or services, systems or control failure, cybersecurity incidents, data security breach or attack on or compromise of Wag!’s security or the security of its business partners could result in the loss, theft or inaccessibility of, unauthorized access to, or improper use or disclosure of, users’ or Wag!’s employees’ data and could result in governmental or regulatory action, including resulting in fines or penalties, litigation, and financial and legal exposure, which could seriously harm Wag!’s reputation, brand and business, and impair its ability to attract and retain users, customers and advertisers. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Privacy and Technology — Wag! has been subject to cybersecurity attacks in the past and anticipates being the target of future attacks. Any actual or perceived breach of security or security incident or privacy or data protection breach or violation, including via cyberattacks, data breaches, hacks, ransomware attacks, data loss, unauthorized access to or use of data (including personal information) and other breaches of its information technology systems, could interrupt Wag!’s operations, harm its brand, and adversely affect its reputation, business, financial condition, and operating results.”

Wag! has experienced and will likely continue to experience system failures and other events or conditions from time to time that interrupt the availability or reduce or affect the speed or functionality of Wag!’s platform. Minor interruptions can result in new user acquisition losses that are never recovered. Affected users could seek monetary recourse from Wag! for their losses and such claims, even if unsuccessful, would likely be time-consuming and costly for Wag! to address. Further, in some instances, Wag! may not be able to identify the cause or causes of these performance problems within an acceptable period of time. A prolonged interruption in the availability or reduction in the availability, speed, or other functionality of Wag!’s platform could adversely affect its business, brand, and reputation and could result in fewer Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers using Wag!’s platform.

Wag! primarily relies on Amazon Web Services to deliver its services to users on its platform and any disruption of or interference with its use of Amazon Web Services could adversely affect its business, financial condition, and operating results.

Wag! relies in part upon the stable performance of our servers, networks, IT infrastructure and data processing systems for provision of our products and services. For example, Wag! currently relies on Amazon Web Services (“AWS”) to host its platform and support its operations. Wag! does not have control over the operations of the facilities of AWS that it uses. The facilities of AWS are vulnerable to damage or interruption from internal and external factors, including natural disasters, cybersecurity attacks, terrorist attacks, power outages, and similar events or acts of misconduct. Wag!’s platform’s continuing and uninterrupted performance is critical to its success. Wag! has experienced, and expects that in the future it will experience, interruptions, delays, and outages in service and availability from time to time due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, human or software errors, website hosting disruptions, and capacity constraints. In addition, any changes in AWS’ service levels may adversely affect Wag!’s ability to meet the requirements of users on its platform. Since Wag!’s platform’s continuing and uninterrupted performance is critical to its success, sustained or repeated system failures would reduce the attractiveness of its platform. It may become increasingly difficult or expensive to maintain and improve Wag!’s performance, especially during peak usage times, as it expands the usage of its platform. Any negative publicity arising from these disruptions could harm Wag!’s reputation and brand and may adversely affect the usage of its platform. Any of the above circumstances or events may harm Wag!’s reputation and brand, reduce the availability or usage of its platform, lead to a significant short-term loss of revenue, increase its costs, and impair its ability to attract new users, any of which could adversely affect its business, financial condition, and operating results.

Wag! relies on third-party payment service providers to process payments made by Pet Parents and payments made to Pet Caregivers on its platform. If these third-party payment service providers become unavailable or Wag! is subject to increased fees, its business, operating results, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Wag! relies on a number of third-party payment service providers, including payment card networks, banks, payment processors, and payment gateways, to link Wag! to payment card and bank clearing networks to process payments made by Wag!’s Pet Parents and payments made to Pet Caregivers through Wag!’s platform. Wag! also relies on these third-party providers to address Wag!’s compliance with various laws,

81

including money transmission regulations. Wag! has agreements with these providers, some of whom are the sole providers of their particular service. If these companies become unwilling or unable to provide these services to Wag! on acceptable terms, Wag! is unable to integrate with a provider in a timely manner, or regulators take action against Wag!, Wag!’s business may be disrupted. In such case, Wag! would need to find an alternate payment service provider and it may not be able to secure similar terms or replace such payment service provider in an acceptable time frame. If Wag! needs to migrate to alternative or integrate additional third-party payment service providers for any reason, the transition or addition would require significant time and management resources and may not be as effective, efficient, or well-received by Wag!’s Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents or adequately address regulatory requirements. Any of the foregoing risks related to third-party payment service providers, including compliance with money transmission rules in any jurisdiction in which Wag! operates, could cause Wag! to incur significant losses and, in certain cases, require Wag! to make payments to Pet Caregivers out of its funds, which could materially adversely affect its business, operating results, and financial condition.

In addition, the software and services provided by Wag!’s third-party payment service providers may fail to meet Wag!’s expectations, contain errors or vulnerabilities, be compromised, or experience outages. Any of these risks could cause Wag! to lose its ability to accept online payments or other payment transactions or facilitate timely payments to Pet Caregivers on Wag!’s platform, which could make Wag!’s platform less convenient and desirable to its users and adversely affect Wag!’s ability to attract and retain Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents. For more information, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Privacy and Technology — Any error, bug, vulnerability or systems defect or failure and resulting interruptions in the availability of Wag!’s website, mobile applications, or platform could adversely affect Wag!’s business, financial condition, and operating results.”

If Wag! fails to invest adequate resources into the payment processing infrastructure on Wag!’s platform, or if Wag!’s investment efforts are unsuccessful or unreliable, Wag!’s payments activities may not function properly or keep pace with competitive offerings, which could adversely impact their usage. Further, Wag!’s ability to expand its payments activities into additional countries is dependent upon the third-party providers Wag! uses to support these activities. As Wag! expands the availability of its platform to additional geographies or offer new payment methods to its Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents in the future, it may become subject to additional regulations and compliance requirements and exposed to heightened fraud risk, which could lead to an increase in its operating expenses.

For certain payment methods, including credit and debit cards, Wag! pays interchange and other fees and such fees result in significant costs. Payment card network costs have increased and may continue to increase in the future, the interchange fees and assessments that they charge for each transaction that accesses their networks and may impose special fees or assessments on any such transaction. Wag!’s payment card processors have the right to pass any increases in interchange fees and assessments on to Wag!. Credit card transactions result in higher fees to Wag! than transactions made through debit cards. Wag! also faces a risk of increased transaction fees and other fines and penalties, if Wag! or its service providers fail to comply with payment card industry security standards. Any material increase in interchange fees in the United States or other geographies, including as a result of changes in interchange fee limitations imposed by law in some geographies, or other network fees or assessments, or a shift from payment with debit cards to credit cards could increase Wag!’s operating costs and materially adversely affect Wag!’s business, operating results, and financial condition.

Wag! relies on third parties to provide some of the software or features for its platform and depends on the interoperability of its platform across third-party applications and services. If such third parties were to interfere with the distribution of Wag!’s platform or with its use of such software, its business would be materially adversely affected.

Wag! relies upon certain third parties to provide software or features for its platform. If the third parties Wag! relies upon cease to provide access to the third-party software that Wag!, Pet Parents, and Pet Caregivers use, cease providing access to such software on terms that Wag! believes to be attractive or reasonable, or stop providing Wag! with the most current version of such software, Wag! may be required to seek comparable software from other sources, which may be more expensive or inferior, or may not be available at all, any of which would adversely affect Wag!’s business. For example, Wag! relies on Google

82

Maps and Apple Maps for maps and location data for functionality on Wag!’s platform and Wag! integrates applications, content, and data from third parties to deliver its platform and services.

Third-party applications, products, and services are constantly evolving and Wag! may not be able to maintain or modify its platform to ensure its compatibility with third-party offerings following development changes. If Wag! loses such compatibility, experience difficulties, or increased costs in integrating Wag!’s offerings into alternative devices or systems, or manufacturers or operating systems elect not to include Wag!’s offerings, make changes that degrade the functionality of Wag!’s offerings, or give preferential treatment to competitive products, the growth of Wag!’s community and its business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Wag! relies on mobile operating systems and application marketplaces to make its applications available to Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers and if Wag! does not effectively operate with or receive favorable placements within such application marketplaces and maintain high user reviews, its usage or brand recognition could decline and its business, financial results, and operating results could be materially adversely affected.

Wag! largely depends on mobile operating systems, such as Android and iOS and their respective application marketplaces to make Wag!’s applications available to Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers that use Wag!’s platform on mobile devices. Any changes in such systems or application marketplaces that degrade the functionality of Wag!’s applications or give preferential treatment to Wag!’s competitors’ applications could adversely affect Wag!’s platform’s usage on mobile devices. If such mobile operating systems or application marketplaces limit or prohibit Wag! from making its applications available to Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers, make changes that degrade the functionality of Wag!’s applications, increase the cost to users or to Wag! of using such mobile operating systems or application marketplaces or Wag!’s applications, impose terms of use unsatisfactory to Wag!, or modify their search or ratings algorithms in ways that are detrimental to Wag!, or if Wag!’s competitors’ placement in such mobile operating systems’ application marketplace is more prominent than the placement of Wag!’s applications, Wag!’s user growth could slow, pause, or decline. Wag!’s applications have experienced fluctuations in the past and it anticipates similar fluctuations in the future. Any of the foregoing risks could adversely affect Wag!’s business, financial condition, and operating results.

As new mobile devices and mobile platforms, as well as entirely new technology platforms are developed and released, there is no guarantee that certain devices will support Wag!’s platform or effectively roll out updates to its applications. Additionally, in order to deliver high-quality applications, Wag! needs to ensure that its platform is designed to work effectively with a range of mobile technologies, systems, networks, and standards, which can require cooperation from participants in the mobile device industry. Wag! may not be successful in developing or maintaining relationships with key participants in the mobile device industry that enhance users’ experience. If Pet Parents or Pet Caregivers that use Wag!’s platform encounter any difficulty accessing or using Wag!’s applications on their mobile devices or if Wag! is unable to adapt to changes in popular mobile operating systems, Wag! expects that its user growth and user engagement would be materially adversely affected.

Wag!’s platform may contain third-party open source software components, the use of which could expose us to information security vulnerabilities, result in failures, errors and defects, or subject us to possible litigation or to certain unfavorable conditions, including requirements that we offer our products that incorporate the open source software for no cost or that we make publicly available our confidential, proprietary source code; any such failure to comply with the terms of the underlying open source software licenses could restrict Wag!’s ability to provide its platform.

Though Wag! generally avoids “open source” software, Wag!’s platform may contain software modules licensed to it by third-party authors under “open source” licenses. Use and distribution of open source software may entail greater risks than use of third-party commercial software, as open source licensors generally do not provide support, warranties, indemnification, or other contractual protections regarding infringement claims or the quality of the code. Accordingly, Wag! cannot ensure that the authors of such open source software will implement or push updates to address security risks or will not abandon further development and maintenance. In addition, the public availability of such software may make it easier for others to compromise Wag!’s platform. Many of the risks associated with the use of open source software

83

cannot be eliminated, and could, if not properly addressed, negatively affect Wag!’s business. To the extent that Wag!’s systems depend upon the successful operation of the open source software it uses, any undetected errors or defects in this open source software could prevent the deployment or impair the functionality of Wag!’s systems or applications, delay the introduction of new solutions, result in a failure of its systems, products or services, and injure Wag!’s reputation. For example, undetected errors or defects in open source software could render it vulnerable to breaches or security attacks and make Wag!’s systems more vulnerable to data breaches. Wag! has processes in place to help alleviate these risks, but it cannot be sure that all open source software is identified or submitted for approval prior to use in its solutions, products and services. Any of these risks could be difficult to eliminate or manage, and, if not addressed, could adversely affect Wag!’s ownership of proprietary intellectual property, the security of its systems, products and services, or its business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Some open source licenses contain unfavorable requirements that may, depending on how the licensed software is used or modified, require that Wag! makes available source code for modifications or derivative works it creates based upon the licensed open source software, authorizes further modification and redistribution of that source code, makes its software available at little or no cost, or grants other licenses to Wag!’s intellectual property. This could enable Wag!’s competitors to create similar offerings with lower development effort and time and ultimately could result in a loss of Wag!’s competitive advantages. Alternatively, to avoid the release of the affected portions of Wag!’s source code, Wag! could be required to purchase additional licenses, expend substantial time and resources to re-engineer some or all of its software or cease use or distribution of some or all of its software until it can adequately address the concerns.

Wag! also releases certain of its proprietary software modules to the public under open source licenses. Although Wag! has certain policies and procedures in place to monitor its use of open source software that are designed to avoid subjecting its platform to conditions it does not intend, those policies and procedures may not be effective to detect or address all such conditions. In addition, the terms of many open source licenses have not been interpreted by U.S. or foreign courts and there is a risk that these licenses could be construed in a way that could impose unanticipated conditions or restrictions on Wag!’s ability to provide or distribute its platform. From time to time, there have been claims challenging the ownership of open source software against companies that incorporate open source software into their solutions. As a result, Wag! could be subject to lawsuits by parties claiming ownership of what Wag! believes to be open source software. If Wag! is held to have breached or failed to fully comply with all the terms and conditions of an open source software license, it could face infringement or other liability, or be required to seek costly licenses from third parties to continue providing its platform on terms that are not economically feasible, to re-engineer its platform, to discontinue or delay the provision of its platform if re-engineering could not be accomplished on a timely basis, or to make generally available, in source code form, its proprietary code, any of which could adversely affect its business, financial condition, and operating results.

Risks Related to Wag!’s Intellectual Property

Failure to adequately protect Wag!’s intellectual property could adversely affect Wag!’s business, financial condition, and operating results.

Wag!’s business depends on its intellectual property and proprietary technology, the protection of which is crucial to the success of its business. Wag! relies on a combination of trademark, copyright, and trade secret laws, license agreements, intellectual property assignment agreements, and confidentiality procedures to protect its intellectual property. Additionally, Wag! relies on proprietary information (such as trade secrets, know-how and confidential information) to protect intellectual property that may not be patentable, or that it believes is best protected by means that do not require public disclosure. Wag! generally attempts to protect its intellectual property, technology, and confidential information by requiring its employees and consultants who develop intellectual property on its behalf to enter into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements and third parties Wag! shares information with to enter into nondisclosure agreements. These agreements may not effectively prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of Wag!’s confidential information, intellectual property, or technology and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of Wag!’s confidential information or technology, or infringement of its intellectual property. For example, Wag! may fail to enter into the necessary agreements, and even if entered into, these agreements may be willfully breached or may otherwise fail to prevent disclosure,

84

third-party infringement or misappropriation of Wag!’s proprietary information, may be limited as to their term and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure or use of proprietary information. In addition, Wag!’s proprietary information may otherwise become known or be independently developed by its competitors or other third parties. To the extent that Wag!’s employees, consultants, contractors, and other third parties use intellectual property owned by others in their work for Wag!, disputes may arise as to the rights in related or resulting know-how and inventions. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of Wag!’s intellectual property rights and other proprietary rights, and failure to obtain or maintain protection for its proprietary information could adversely affect Wag!’s competitive business position.

Despite Wag!’s efforts to protect its proprietary rights, other parties may unintentionally or willfully disclose, obtain or use its technologies or systems, which may allow unauthorized parties to copy aspects of Wag!’s platform or other software, technology, and functionality or obtain and use information that Wag! considers proprietary. In addition, unauthorized parties may also attempt, or successfully endeavor, to obtain Wag!’s intellectual property, confidential information and trade secrets through various methods, including through scraping of public data or other content from Wag!’s website or mobile applications, cybersecurity attacks, and legal or other methods of protecting this data may be inadequate. Monitoring unauthorized use and disclosures of Wag!’s intellectual property, proprietary technology, or confidential information can be difficult and expensive and Wag! cannot be sure that the steps it has taken will prevent misappropriation or infringement of its intellectual property or proprietary rights.

As of March 2022, Wag! held 5 registered U.S. trademarks. In addition, Wag! has registered domain names for websites that it uses in its business, such as www.wagwalking.com and other variations. The inclusion of the website address in this proxy statement/prospectus does not include or incorporate by reference the information on Wag! or New Wag!’s website into this proxy statement/prospectus.

Competitors have and may continue to adopt service names similar to Wag!’s, thereby harming Wag!’s ability to build brand identity and possibly leading to user confusion. In addition, there could be potential trade name or trademark infringement claims brought by owners of other trademarks that are similar to Wag!’s trademarks. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Wag!’s Intellectual Property — Intellectual property infringement assertions by third parties could result in significant costs and adversely affect Wag!’s business, financial condition, operating results, and reputation.” Further, litigation or proceedings before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or other governmental authorities and administrative bodies in the United States and abroad may be necessary in the future to enforce Wag!’s intellectual property rights and to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Any litigation initiated by Wag! concerning the violation by third parties of its intellectual property rights is likely to be expensive and time-consuming and could lead to the invalidation of, or render unenforceable, its intellectual property, or could otherwise have negative consequences for Wag!. Even when Wag! sues other parties for such infringement, that suit may have adverse consequences for Wag!’s business. In addition, Wag! may not timely or successfully apply for a patent or register its trademarks or otherwise secure its intellectual property, which could result in negative effects to Wag!’s market share, financial condition and results of operations. Wag!’s efforts to protect, maintain, or enforce its proprietary rights may not be respected in the future or may be invalidated, circumvented, or challenged. and could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, which could adversely affect its business, financial condition, and operating results.

Wag! is subject to claims and lawsuits relating to intellectual property and other related matters, which could materially adversely affect Wag!’s reputation, business, and financial condition.

Wag! faces potential liability and expense for claims relating to the information that it publishes on its website and mobile applications, including claims for trademark and copyright infringement, defamation, libel and negligence, among others. Wag!’s platform also relies upon content that is created and posted by Pet Caregivers, Pet Parents, or other third parties. Claims of defamation, disparagement, negligence, warranty, personal harm, intellectual property infringement, or other alleged damages could be asserted against Wag!, in addition to Wag!’s Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents. While Wag! relies on a variety of statutory and common-law frameworks and defenses, including those provided by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), the Communications Decency Act (“CDA”), and the fair-use doctrine in the United States, differences between statutes, limitations on immunity, requirements to maintain immunity, and moderation

85

efforts in the many jurisdictions in which Wag! operates may affect Wag!’s ability to rely on these frameworks and defenses, or create uncertainty regarding liability for information or content uploaded by Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents or otherwise contributed by third-parties to Wag!’s platform. Moreover, regulators in the United States and in other countries may introduce new regulatory regimes, such as a potential repeal of CDA Section 230, that increase potential liability for information or content available on Wag!’s platform. Failure to identify and prevent illegal or inappropriate content from being uploaded to Wag!’s platform, or an inability to rely on legal defenses available under applicable law to operators of platforms such as Wag!’s, may subject it to negative publicity, private enforcement or liability, such as payment of damages, limiting the dissemination of content, and suspension or removal of its platform from app distribution channels.

In addition, Wag! has been and may become subject to claims and litigation alleging infringement of third-party intellectual property which, if resolved adversely to Wag!, could subject it to significant liability for damages, impose temporary or permanent injunctions against Wag!’s business operations, or invalidate or render unenforceable its intellectual property. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Wag!’s Intellectual Property — Failure to adequately protect Wag!’s intellectual property could adversely affect Wag!’s business, financial condition, and operating results; Intellectual property infringement assertions by third parties could result in significant costs and adversely affect Wag!’s business, financial condition, operating results, and reputation”. In connection with any such claims or litigation, Wag! may decide to settle such lawsuits and disputes on terms that are unfavorable to it or if any litigation to which Wag! is a party is resolved adversely to Wag!, it may be subject to an unfavorable judgment that may not be reversed upon appeal. The terms of such a settlement or judgment may require Wag! to cease some or all of our operations or pay substantial amounts to the other party. In addition, Wag! may have to seek a license to continue practices found to be in violation of a third party’s rights, which license may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all, and may significantly increase Wag!’s operating costs and expenses.

The results of any such claims, lawsuits, arbitration proceedings, or other legal or regulatory proceedings cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty. Any claims against Wag!, whether meritorious or not, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, be harmful to Wag!’s reputation, require significant management attention, and divert significant resources. Determining reserves for Wag!’s pending litigation is a complex and fact-intensive process that requires significant subjective judgment and speculation. It is possible that a resolution of one or more such proceedings could result in substantial damages, settlement costs, fines, and penalties that could adversely affect Wag!’s business, financial condition, and operating results. These proceedings could also result in harm to Wag!’s reputation and brand, sanctions, consent decrees, injunctions, or other orders requiring a change in Wag!’s business practices. Any of these consequences could adversely affect Wag!’s business, financial condition, and operating results. Further, under certain circumstances, Wag! has contractual and other legal obligations to indemnify and to incur legal expenses on behalf of Wag!’s business and commercial partners and current and former directors and officers.

Intellectual property infringement assertions by third parties could result in significant costs and adversely affect Wag!’s business, financial condition, operating results, and reputation.

Wag! operates in an industry with frequent intellectual property litigation. Other parties have asserted and in the future may assert, that Wag! has infringed their intellectual property rights. For example, Wag! is presently involved in a lawsuit in the Northern District of California in which a third-party trademark owner is alleging, amongst other claims, that Wag!’s “WAG!” trademark infringes the third party’s trademarks and that its use breaches the terms of a 2016 settlement agreement entered into between Wag! and the third party. The third-party trademark owner is seeking cancellation of certain of Wag!’s registered trademarks as well as damages (including punitive and/or treble damages), attorneys’ fees and a preliminary injunction prohibiting use of Wag!’s logos and other branding materials which, if successful, may result in material liability and may force Wag! to take costly remediation actions, such as redesigning aspects of Wag!’s brand or even carrying out complete and costly rebranding. In any event, any such litigation may be time-consuming and expensive to resolve and may divert management’s time and attention from Wag!’s business. Furthermore, Wag! could be required to pay substantial damages.

Wag! cannot predict whether other assertions of third-party intellectual property rights or claims arising from such assertions would substantially adversely affect its business, financial condition, and operating results. The defense of these claims and any future infringement claims, whether they are with or

86

without merit or are determined in Wag!’s favor, may result in costly litigation and diversion of technical and management personnel. Further, an adverse outcome of a dispute may require Wag! to pay damages, potentially including treble damages and attorneys’ fees if Wag! is found to have willfully infringed a party’s patent, trademark, or copyright rights, cease making, licensing, or using products that are alleged to incorporate the intellectual property of others, expend additional development resources to redesign Wag!’s offerings, and enter into potentially unfavorable royalty or license agreements in order to obtain the right to use necessary technologies. Royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may be unavailable on terms acceptable to Wag!, or at all. In any event, Wag! may need to license intellectual property which would require Wag! to pay royalties or make one-time payments. Even if these matters do not result in litigation or are resolved in Wag!’s favor or without significant cash settlements, the time and resources necessary to resolve them could adversely affect Wag!’s business, reputation, financial condition, and operating results.

Wag! may be unable to continue to use the domain names that it uses in its business or prevent third parties from acquiring and using domain names that infringe on, are similar to, or otherwise decrease the value of its brand, trademarks, or service marks.

Wag! has registered domain names that it uses in, or are related to, its business, most importantly www.wagwalking.com. If Wag! loses the ability to use a domain name, whether due to trademark claims, failure to renew the applicable registration, or any other cause, Wag! may be forced to market its offerings under a new domain name, which could cause Wag! substantial harm, or to incur significant expense in order to purchase rights to the domain name in question. Wag! may not be able to obtain preferred domain names outside the United States due to a variety of reasons, including because they are already held by others. In addition, Wag!’s competitors and others could attempt to capitalize on Wag!’s brand recognition by using domain names similar to Wag!’s domain names. Wag! may be unable to prevent third parties from acquiring and using domain names that infringe on, are similar to, or otherwise decrease the value of Wag!’s brand or its trademarks or service marks. Protecting, maintaining, and enforcing Wag!’s rights in its domain names may require litigation, which could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, which could in turn adversely affect Wag!’s business, financial condition, and operating results.

Risk Related to Wag!’s Operations

Wag! depends on its highly skilled employees to grow and operate its business and if Wag! is unable to hire, retain, manage, and motivate its employees, or if its new employees do not perform as anticipated, Wag! may not be able to grow effectively and its business, financial condition, and operating results could be materially adversely affected.

Wag!’s future success will depend in part on the continued service of its senior management team, key technical employees, and other highly skilled employees. Wag! may not be able to retain the services of any of its employees or other members of senior management in the future. Also, Wag!’s employees, including its senior management team, work for Wag! on an at-will basis and there is no assurance that any such employee will remain with Wag!.

Wag!’s competitors may be successful in recruiting and hiring members of Wag!’s management team or other key employees and it may be difficult for Wag! to find suitable replacements on a timely basis, on competitive terms, or at all. If Wag! is unable to attract and retain the necessary employees, particularly in critical areas of its business, Wag! may not achieve its strategic goals. In addition, from time to time, there may be changes in Wag!’s senior management team that may be disruptive to its business. If Wag!’s senior management team fails to work together effectively and to execute its plans and strategies, Wag!’s business, financial condition, and operating results could be materially adversely affected.

Wag! faces intense competition for highly skilled employees. For example, competition for engineering talent is particularly intense and engineering support is particularly important for Wag!’s business. To attract and retain top talent, Wag! has offered, and it believes it will need to continue to offer, competitive compensation and benefits packages. Job candidates and existing employees often consider the value of the equity awards they receive in connection with their employment. If the perceived value of Wag!’s equity awards declines, it may adversely affect Wag!’s ability to attract and retain highly qualified employees. On the other hand, Wag!’s employees may receive significant proceeds from sales of Wag!’s equity which may

87

reduce their motivation to continue to work for Wag!. Wag! may need to invest significant amounts of cash and equity to attract and retain new employees and expend significant time and resources to identify, recruit, train, and integrate such employees and Wag! may never realize returns on these investments. If Wag! is unable to effectively manage its hiring needs or successfully integrate new hires, its efficiency, ability to meet forecasts and employee morale, productivity, and engagement could suffer, which could adversely affect business, financial conditions, and operating results.

Wag!’s company culture has contributed to its success and if Wag! cannot maintain and evolve its culture as it grows, its business could be materially adversely affected.

Wag! believes that its company culture has been critical to its success. Wag! faces many challenges that may affect its ability to sustain its corporate culture, including:

•

failure to identify, attract, reward, and retain people in leadership positions in its organization who share and further its culture, values, and mission;

•

the potential growth in size and geographic diversity of Wag!’s workforce;

•

competitive pressures to move in directions that may divert Wag! from its mission, vision, and values (including, for example, pressure exerted by large technology companies adopting permanent remote work frameworks);

•

the impact on employee morale created by geopolitical events, public stock market volatility, and general public company criticism;

•

the continued challenges of a rapidly evolving industry;

•

the increasing need to develop expertise in new areas of business that affect Wag!;

•

negative perception of Wag!’s treatment of employees, Pet Parents, Pet Caregivers, or Wag!’s response to employee sentiment related to political or social causes or actions of management; and

•

the integration of new personnel and businesses from acquisitions.

If Wag! is not able to maintain and evolve its culture, its business, financial condition, and operating results could be materially adversely affected.

Wag!’s support function is critical to the success of its platform and any failure to provide high-quality service could affect Wag!’s ability to retain its existing Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents and attract new ones.

Wag!’s ability to provide high-quality support to its community of Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents is important for the growth of its business and any failure to maintain such standards of support, or any perception that Wag! does not provide high-quality service, could affect Wag!’s ability to retain and attract Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents. Meeting the support expectations of Wag!’s Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents requires significant time and resources from Wag!’s support team and significant investment in staffing, technology (including automation and machine learning to improve efficiency), infrastructure, policies, and support tools. The failure to develop the appropriate technology, infrastructure, policies and support tools, or to manage or properly train Wag!’s support team, could compromise Wag!’s ability to resolve questions and complaints quickly and effectively. Any changes in Wag!’s workforce composition or number of employees, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, has in the past led to, and may in the future lead to, backlog incidents that lead to substantial delays or other issues in responding to requests for customer support, which may reduce its ability to effectively retain Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents.

The majority of Wag!’s user contact volume typically is serviced by a limited number of third-party service providers. Wag! relies on its internal team and these third parties to provide timely and appropriate responses to the inquiries of Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents that come to Wag! via telephone, email, social media, and chat. Reliance on these third parties requires that Wag! provides proper guidance and training for its employees, maintains proper controls and procedures for interacting with its community, and ensures acceptable levels of quality and user satisfaction are achieved. Failure to appropriately allocate functions to these third-party service providers or to maintain suitable training, controls, and procedures could materially adversely impact Wag!’s business.

88

Wag! provides support to Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents and helps to mediate disputes between Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents. Wag! relies on information provided by Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents and is at times limited in its ability to provide adequate support or help Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents resolve disputes due to Wag!’s lack of information or control. To the extent that Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents are not satisfied with the quality or timeliness of Wag!’s support or third-party support, Wag! may not be able to retain Pet Caregivers or Pet Parents and Wag!’s reputation as well its business, operating results, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

When a Pet Caregiver or Pet Parent has a poor experience on Wag!’s platform, Wag! may issue refunds or coupons for future bookings, or other customer service gestures of monetary value. These refunds and coupons are generally treated as a reduction to revenue. A robust support effort is costly and Wag! expects such costs to continue to rise in the future as Wag! grows its business and implements new product offerings. Wag! has historically seen a significant number of support inquiries from Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents. Wag!’s efforts to reduce the number of support requests may not be effective and Wag! could incur increased costs without corresponding revenue, which would materially adversely affect its business, operating results, and financial condition.

Wag! relies on a third-party background check provider and a third-party identification provider to screen potential Pet Caregivers and if such providers fail to provide accurate information or Wag! does not maintain business relationships with them, Wag!’s business, financial condition, and operating results could be materially adversely affected.

Wag! relies on a single third-party background check provider to provide or confirm the criminal and other records of potential Pet Caregivers to help identify those that are not eligible to use Wag!’s platform pursuant to Wag!’s internal standards and applicable law. Wag!’s business may be materially adversely affected to the extent such providers do not meet their contractual obligations, Wag!’s expectations, or the requirements of applicable laws or regulations. If Wag!’s third-party background check provider terminates its relationship with Wag! or refuses to renew its agreement with Wag! on commercially reasonable terms, Wag! may need to find an alternate provider and may not be able to secure similar terms or replace such partners in an acceptable timeframe. If Wag! cannot find an alternate provider on terms acceptable to it, Wag! may not be able to timely onboard potential Pet Caregivers and as a result, Wag!’s platform may be less attractive to potential Pet Caregivers and it may have difficulty finding enough Pet Caregivers to meet Pet Parent demand. Further, if the background checks or identity verification checks conducted by Wag!’s third-party provider or the third-party databases they check are, or are perceived to be, inaccurate, insufficiently inclusive of relevant records, or otherwise inadequate or below expectations, Pet Caregivers who otherwise would be barred from using Wag!’s platform may be approved to offer services via Wag!’s platform and some Pet Caregivers may be inadvertently excluded from Wag!’s platform. As a result of inaccurate or incomplete background or verification checks, Wag! may be unable to adequately provide a safe environment for pets and Pet Parents and Wag!’s reputation and brand could be materially adversely affected and Wag! could be subject to increased regulatory or litigation exposure. In addition, Wag! does not generally run additional background checks on Pet Caregivers after they have been approved to use its platform. If a Pet Caregiver engages in criminal activity after the third-party background check has been conducted, Wag! may not be informed of such criminal activity and this Pet Caregiver may be permitted to continue offering services through Wag!’s platform. If Wag! chooses to engage in more frequent background checks in the future, Wag! may experience a decrease in Pet Caregiver retention, which may adversely impact its platform. Wag! is also subject to a number of laws and regulations applicable to background and identity verification checks for potential and existing Pet Caregivers that use Wag!’s platform. If Wag! or its third-party background check provider or identity verification provider fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations in the handling of background or identity verification checks or the use of background check or identity verification information, Wag!’s reputation, business, financial condition, and operating results could be materially adversely affected and Wag! could face legal action, including class, collective, or other representative actions.

Any negative publicity related to any of Wag!’s third-party background check providers or third-party identity verification provider, including publicity related to safety incidents or actual or perceived privacy or data security breaches or other security incidents, could adversely affect Wag!’s reputation and brand and

89

could potentially lead to increased regulatory or litigation exposure. Any of the foregoing risks could adversely affect Wag!’s business, financial condition, and operating results.

Wag! relies primarily on third-party insurance policies to insure its operations-related risks. If Wag!’s insurance coverage is insufficient for the needs of its business or its insurance providers are unable to meet their obligations, Wag! may not be able to mitigate the risks facing its business, which could adversely affect its business, financial condition, and operating results.

Wag! procures third-party insurance policies to cover various operations-related risks including general liability, auto liability, excess liability, employment practices liability, workers’ compensation, property, cybersecurity and technology errors and omissions, fiduciary liability, and directors’ and officers’ liability. For certain types of operations-related risks or future risks related to Wag!’s new and evolving services, Wag! may not be able to, or may choose not to, acquire insurance. In addition, Wag! may not obtain enough insurance to adequately mitigate such operations-related risks or risks related to its new and evolving services and Wag! may have to pay high premiums, self-insured retentions, or deductibles for the coverage it does obtain. Additionally, if any of Wag!’s insurance providers become insolvent, such a provider would be unable to pay any operations-related claims that Wag! makes. Further, some of Wag!’s agreements with merchants require that Wag! procure certain types of insurance and if Wag! is unable to obtain and maintain such insurance, Wag! would be in violation of the terms of these merchant agreements.

If the amount of one or more operations-related claims were to exceed Wag!’s applicable aggregate coverage limits, Wag! would bear the excess, in addition to amounts already incurred in connection with deductibles, self-insured retentions, or otherwise paid by Wag!’s insurance subsidiary. Insurance providers have raised premiums and deductibles for many businesses and may do so in the future. As a result, Wag!’s insurance and claims expense could increase, or Wag! may decide to raise its deductibles or self-insured retentions when its policies are renewed or replaced. Wag!’s business, financial condition, and operating results could be materially adversely affected if: (1) the cost per claim, premiums, or the number of claims significantly exceeds Wag!’s historical experience or coverage limits; (2) Wag! experiences a claim in excess of its coverage limits; (3) Wag!’s insurance providers fail to pay on Wag!’s insurance claims; (4) Wag! experiences a claim for which coverage is not provided; or (5) the number of claims under Wag!’s deductibles or self-insured retentions differs from historical averages.

Wag! may have insufficient or no coverage for certain events, including reclassification of Pet Caregivers under applicable law and certain business interruption losses, such as those resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, certain policies may not be available to Wag! and the policies Wag! has and obtains in the future may be insufficient to cover all of its business exposure.

Wag! relies on its general liability insurance policy to provide coverage to Wag! for claims and losses. Increased claim frequency and severity and increased fraudulent claims could result in greater payouts, premium increases, or difficulty securing coverage.

Wag! may face difficulties as it expands its operations into new local markets and international markets in which it has limited or no prior operating experience.

Wag!’s capacity for continued growth depends in part on its ability to expand its operations into, and compete effectively in, new local and international markets. It may be difficult for Wag! to accurately predict Pet Parent preferences and purchasing habits in these new markets. In addition, each market has unique regulatory dynamics. These include laws and regulations that can directly or indirectly affect Wag!’s ability to operate, the pool of Pet Caregivers that are available and Wag!’s costs associated with insurance, support, fraud and onboarding new Pet Caregivers. In addition, each market is subject to distinct competitive and operational dynamics. These include Wag!’s ability to offer more attractive services than alternative options, to provide effective user support and to efficiently attract and retain Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers, all of which affect Wag!’s sales, operating results, and key business metrics. As a result, Wag! may experience fluctuations in its operating results due to changing dynamics in the local and international markets where Wag! operates. If Wag! invests substantial time and resources to expand its operations and is unable to manage these risks effectively, Wag!’s business, financial condition, and operating results could be materially adversely affected.

90

The failure to successfully execute and integrate acquisitions could materially adversely affect Wag!’s business, operating results, and financial condition.

As part of Wag!’s business strategy, it will continue to consider a wide array of potential strategic transactions, including acquisitions of businesses, new technologies, services, and other assets and strategic investments that complement Wag!’s business. For example, Wag! acquired Compare Pet Insurance for $3.75 million in cash and a total of 639,000 units of common stock in August 2021.

Acquisitions involve numerous risks, any of which could harm Wag!’s business and negatively affect Wag!’s financial condition and operating results, including:

•

intense competition for suitable acquisition targets, which could increase prices and adversely affect Wag!’s ability to consummate deals on favorable or acceptable terms;

•

failure to close or material delay in closing a transaction;

•

transaction-related lawsuits or claims;

•

difficulties in integrating the technologies, operations, existing contracts, and personnel of an acquired company;

•

difficulties in retaining key employees or business partners of an acquired company;

•

difficulties in retaining merchants, consumers, and service providers, as applicable, of an acquired company;

•

challenges with integrating the brand identity of an acquired company with Wag!’s own;

•

diversion of financial and management resources from existing operations or alternative acquisition opportunities;

•

failure to realize the anticipated benefits or synergies of a transaction;

•

failure to identify the problems, liabilities, or other shortcomings or challenges of an acquired company or technology, including issues related to intellectual property, regulatory compliance practices, litigation, revenue recognition or other accounting practices, or employee or user issues;

•

risks that regulatory bodies may enact new laws or promulgate new regulations that are adverse to an acquired company or business;

•

risks that regulatory bodies do not approve Wag!’s acquisitions or business combinations or delay such approvals;

•

theft of Wag!’s trade secrets or confidential information that it shares with potential acquisition candidates;

•

risk that an acquired company or investment in new services cannibalizes a portion of Wag!’s existing business; and

•

adverse market reaction to an acquisition.

If Wag! fails to address the foregoing risks or other problems encountered in connection with past or future acquisitions of businesses, new technologies, services, and other assets and strategic investments, or if Wag! fails to successfully integrate such acquisitions or investments, its business, financial condition, and operating results could be materially adversely affected.

Wag! may require additional capital to support business growth and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, or at all.

To support Wag!’s growing business and to effectively compete, Wag! must have sufficient capital to continue to make significant investments in its platform. Wag! intends to continue to make investments to support its business growth and may require additional funds to respond to business challenges, including the need to develop new platform features and services or enhance its existing platform, improve its operating infrastructure, or acquire complementary businesses and technologies. Although Wag! currently anticipates that its existing cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities and cash flow from operations will be

91

sufficient to meet its working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next 12 months, Wag! may require additional financing. Accordingly, Wag! may need to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. If Wag! raises additional funds through future issuances of equity, equity-linked securities, or convertible debt securities, its existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution and any new securities Wag! issues could have rights, preferences, and privileges superior to those of current equity investors. If Wag! raises additional funds through the incurrence of indebtedness, then it may be subject to increased fixed payment obligations and could be subject to restrictive covenants, such as limitations on its ability to incur additional debt and other operating restrictions that could adversely impact its ability to conduct its business. Any additional future indebtedness Wag! may incur may result in terms that could be unfavorable to its equity investors.

Wag! evaluates financing opportunities from time to time and its ability to obtain financing will depend, among other things, on its development efforts, business plans, and operating performance and the condition of the capital markets at the time it seeks financing. Wag! may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to it, if at all. If Wag! is unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to Wag! when it requires it, Wag!’s ability to continue to support its business growth and to respond to business challenges could be impaired and its business, financial condition, and operating results may be materially adversely affected.

Wag!’s application for the Paycheck Protection Program Loan could in the future be determined to have been impermissible or could result in damage to Wag!’s reputation.

In August 2020, Wag! received loan proceeds of approximately $5.1 million from a financial institution pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program, or the PPP Loan. The PPP Loan is subject to the terms and conditions of the Paycheck Protection Program, which was established under the CARES Act and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration, or the SBA. The application for these funds required Wag! to, in good faith, certify that the current economic uncertainty made the loan request necessary to support the ongoing operations of Wag!. This certification further required Wag! to take into account its then current business activity and its ability to access other sources of liquidity sufficient to support ongoing operations in a manner that is not significantly detrimental to the business. Following this analysis, Wag! believed that it satisfied all eligibility criteria for the PPP Loans and that its receipt of the PPP Loans was consistent with the broad objectives of the CARES Act. The certification described above did not contain any objective criteria and is subject to interpretation.

In accordance with the requirements of the PPP, Wag! used the PPP Loan to cover certain qualified expenses. The PPP Loan contains customary events of default, including, among others, those relating to breaches of obligations under the PPP Loan (including a failure to make payments), any bankruptcy or similar proceedings, and certain material effects on Wag!’s ability to repay the PPP Loan. The term of the PPP Loan is five years with a maturity date of August 2025 and contains a fixed annual interest rate of 1.00%. No payments of principal or interest are due until the conclusion of the deferral period, which ends in November 2021. Under the terms of the PPP loans, all or a portion of the principal could be forgiven if the loan proceeds were used for qualifying expenses, adjusted for any headcount reduction, as described in the CARES Act.

In August 2021, Wag! applied for forgiveness of $3.5 million of the PPP Loan. Subsequently, in September 2021, the SBA approved Wag!’s loan forgiveness application in the amount of $3.5 million. The remaining loan balance of $1.7 million is being paid starting in November 2021 in monthly principal installments of $38,000 through the loan’s maturity date of August 2025.

If, despite Wag!’s good-faith belief that given its circumstances it satisfied all eligible requirements for the PPP Loan, Wag! is later determined to have violated any applicable laws or regulations that may apply to it in connection with the PPP Loans or it is otherwise determined that Wag! was ineligible to receive the PPP Loan, Wag! may be required to repay the PPP Loan in its entirety or be subject to additional penalties, which could also result in adverse publicity and damage to Wag!’s reputation. Additionally, the proposed Business Combination may subject Wag! to additional scrutiny for its decision to receive the PPP Loan. Should Wag! be audited or reviewed by federal or state regulatory authorities, such audit or review could result in the diversion of management’s time and attention and legal and reputational costs. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on Wag!’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Risks Related to Wag!’s Financial Reporting and Disclosure

Wag! tracks certain operational metrics with internal systems and tools and does not independently verify such metrics. Certain of Wag!’s operational metrics are subject to inherent challenges in measurement and any real or perceived inaccuracies in such metrics may adversely affect Wag!’s business and reputation.

Wag! tracks certain operational and business metrics with internal systems and tools that are not independently verified by any third party and which may differ from estimates or similar metrics published by third parties due to differences in sources, methodologies, or the assumptions on which Wag! relies. Wag!’s internal systems and tools have a number of limitations and Wag!’s methodologies for tracking these metrics may change over time, which could result in unexpected changes to Wag!’s metrics, including the metrics it publicly discloses. If the internal systems and tools Wag! uses to track these metrics undercount or over count performance or contain algorithmic or other technical errors, the data Wag! reports may not be accurate. While these numbers are based on what Wag! believes to be reasonable estimates of its metrics for the applicable period of measurement, there are inherent challenges in measuring how Wag!’s platform is used across large populations. For example, the accuracy of Wag!’s operating metrics could be impacted by fraudulent users of Wag!’s platform and further, Wag! believes that there are consumers who have multiple accounts, even though this is prohibited in Wag!’s Terms of Service and Wag! implements measures to detect and prevent this behavior. In addition, limitations or errors with respect to how Wag! measures data or with respect to the data that Wag! measures may affect Wag!’s understanding of certain details of its business, which could affect Wag!’s long-term strategies. If Wag!’s operating metrics are not accurate representations of its business, if investors do not perceive Wag!’s operating metrics to be accurate, or if Wag! discovers material inaccuracies with respect to these figures, Wag! expects that its business, reputation, financial condition, and operating results would be materially adversely affected.

Certain estimates and information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus are based on information from third-party sources and Wag! does not independently verify the accuracy or completeness of the data contained in such sources or the methodologies for collecting such data and any real or perceived inaccuracies in such estimates and information may harm Wag!’s reputation and adversely affect its business.

Certain estimates and information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, including general expectations concerning Wag!’s industry and the market in which Wag! operates, category share, market opportunity, and market size, are based to some extent on information provided by third-party providers. This information depends on a number of assumptions and limitations and although Wag! believes the information from such third-party sources is reliable, Wag! has not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of the data contained in such third-party sources or the methodologies for collecting such data. If there are any limitations or errors with respect to such data or methodologies, or if investors do not perceive such data or methodologies to be accurate, or if Wag! discovers material inaccuracies with respect to such data or methodologies, Wag!’s reputation, financial condition, and operating results could be materially adversely affected.

Risks Related to Ownership of New Wag! Common Stock and this Business Combination

New Wag! will be an emerging growth company and any decision to comply only with certain reduced reporting and disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies could make New Wag!’s common stock less attractive to investors.

CHW currently is, and following the Business Combination, New Wag! will be, an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. For as long as it continues to be an emerging growth company, New Wag! may choose to take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies but not to “emerging growth companies,” including:

•

not being required to have independent registered public accounting firm audit New Wag!’s internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

•

reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in New Wag!’s periodic reports and annual report on Form 10-K; and

93

•

exemptions from the requirements of holding non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

As a result, the stockholders may not have access to certain information that they may deem important. New Wag!’s status as an emerging growth company will end as soon as any of the following takes place:

•

the last day of the fiscal year in which New Wag! has at least $1.07 billion in annual revenue;

•

the date New Wag! qualifies as a “large accelerated filer,” with at least $700.0 million of equity securities held by non-affiliates;

•

the date on which New Wag! has issued, in any three-year period, more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities; or

•

the last day of the fiscal year ending after the fifth anniversary of the CHW IPO.

Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can also delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. New Wag! may elect to take advantage of this extended transition period and as a result, its financial statements may not be comparable with similarly situated public companies.

New Wag! cannot predict if investors will find New Wag!’s common stock less attractive if it chooses to rely on any of the exemptions afforded emerging growth companies. If some investors find New Wag!’s common stock less attractive because New Wag! relies on any of these exemptions, there may be a less active trading market for New Wag!’s common stock and the market price of New Wag!’s common stock may be more volatile and may decline.

Wag! had previously identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting and may identify additional material weaknesses in the future or fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, which may result in material misstatements of New Wag!’s consolidated financial statements or cause New Wag! to fail to meet our periodic reporting obligations.

As a public company, Wag! will be required to comply with SEC rules that implement Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and make a formal assessment of the effectiveness of Wag!’s internal controls over financial reporting.

In previous periods, we had identified material weaknesses and we cannot assure you that the measures we have taken to date, and actions we may take in the future, will prevent or avoid control deficiencies that could lead to material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting in the future. Our current controls, and any new controls that we develop, may become inadequate because of changes in conditions in our business. Further, deficiencies in our disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting may be discovered in the future. Any failure to develop or maintain effective controls or any difficulties encountered in their implementation or improvement could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations and may result in a restatement of our financial statements for prior periods.

Wag! has not performed a formal evaluation of its internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, nor has it engaged an independent registered public accounting firm to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting as of any balance sheet date or for any period reported in its financial statements. Once New Wag! is no longer an “emerging growth company”, New Wag!’s independent registered public accounting firm will first be required to attest to the effectiveness of New Wag!’s internal control over financial reporting for its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the first year New Wag! is no longer an “emerging growth company” or a “smaller reporting company”. New Wag! will be required to evaluate and disclose changes made in its internal controls and procedures on a quarterly basis. Failure to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could potentially subject New Wag! to sanctions or investigations by the SEC, the applicable stock exchange or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources. Wag! has begun the process of compiling the system and processing documentation necessary to perform the evaluation needed to comply with Section 404 in the future, but may not be able to complete its evaluation, testing and any required remediation in a timely fashion.

If New Wag! fails to maintain an effective system of disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting, New Wag!’s ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations could be impaired, which may adversely affect investor confidence in New Wag! and, as a result, the market price of New Wag! common stock.

As a public company, New Wag! will be required to comply with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, including, among other things, that New Wag! maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. Wag! continues to develop and refine its disclosure controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information New Wag! is required to disclose in the reports that New Wag! will file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed in reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is accumulated and communicated to New Wag!’s management, including New Wag!’s principal executive and financial officers.

Wag! must continue to improve its internal control over financial reporting. New Wag! will be required to make a formal assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting and once New Wag! ceases to be an emerging growth company, New Wag! will be required to include an attestation report on internal control over financial reporting issued by New Wag!’s independent registered public accounting firm. To achieve compliance with these requirements within the prescribed time period, New Wag! will be engaging in a process to document and evaluate New Wag!’s internal control over financial reporting, which is both costly and challenging. In this regard, New Wag! will need to continue to dedicate internal resources, potentially engage outside consultants and adopt a detailed work plan to assess and document the adequacy of New Wag!’s internal control over financial reporting, validate through testing that controls are functioning as documented and implement a continuous reporting and improvement process for internal control over financial reporting. There is a risk that New Wag! will not be able to conclude, within the prescribed time period or at all, that New Wag!’s internal control over financial reporting is effective as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Moreover, New Wag!’s testing, or the subsequent testing by New Wag!’s independent registered public accounting firm, may reveal additional deficiencies in New Wag!’s internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses.

Any failure to implement and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, including the identification of one or more material weaknesses, could cause investors to lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of New Wag!’s financial statements and reports, which would likely adversely affect the market price of New Wag!’s common stock. In addition, New Wag! could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the stock exchange on which New Wag!’s common stock is listed, the SEC and other regulatory authorities.

If the perceived benefits of the Business Combination do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of CHW’s securities prior to the Closing may decline. The market values of New Wag!’s securities at the time of the Business Combination may vary significantly from their prices on the date the Business Combination Agreement was executed, the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, or the date on which CHW’s shareholders vote on the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals presented to them.

Following the Business Combination, fluctuations in the price of New Wag!’s securities could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment. Prior to the Business Combination, there has not been a public market for Wag!’s Capital Stock. Accordingly, the valuation CHW has ascribed to Wag! in the Business Combination may not be indicative of the price that will be implied in the trading market for New Wag!’s securities following the Business Combination. If an active market for New Wag!’s securities develops and continues after the Business Combination, the trading price of such securities could be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond New Wag!’s control. Any of the factors listed below could have a material adverse effect on your investment in New Wag!’s securities and New Wag!’s securities may trade at prices significantly below the price you paid for them or that were implied by the conversion of Wag! Capital Stock you owned into New Wag!’s securities as a result of the Business Combination. In such circumstances, the trading price of New Wag!’s securities may not recover and may experience a further decline.

95

Factors affecting the trading price of New Wag!’s securities may include:

•

the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on New Wag!’s business;

•

general economic and political conditions;

•

actual or anticipated changes or fluctuations in New Wag!’s operating results, changes in the market’s expectations about New Wag!’s operating results; or failure to meet the expectation of securities analysts or investors in a particular period;

•

announced or completed acquisitions of businesses by New Wag! or its competitors;

•

actual or anticipated fluctuations in New Wag!’s quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to it;

•

any major change in the New Wag! Board or management;

•

changes in laws and regulations affecting New Wag!’s business actual or anticipated developments in New Wag!’s business, its competitors’ businesses, or the competitive landscape generally and any related market speculation;

•

•

governmental or regulatory actions or audits;

•

regulatory or legal developments in the United States;

•

•

price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market from time to time;

•

changes in operating performance and stock market trading volumes and trading prices of other technology companies generally, or those in the pet care industry in particular;

•

changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning New Wag! or the pet care industry in general;

•

changes in New Wag!’s capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;

•

the volume of shares of New Wag!’s common stock available for public sale;

•

sales of shares of New Wag!’s common stock by New Wag! or its stockholders;

•

expiration of market stand-off or lock-up agreements;

•

sales of substantial amounts of shares of New Wag!’s common stock by New Wag!’s directors, executive officers, or significant stockholders or the perception that such sales could occur;

96

•

failure of securities analysts to maintain coverage of New Wag!; and

•

the other risk factors under “Risk Factors”.

Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of New Wag!’s securities irrespective of New Wag!’s operating performance. The stock markets in general, have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks and of New Wag!’s securities, may not be predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for retail stocks or the stocks of other companies which investors perceive to be similar to New Wag! could depress New Wag!’s share price regardless of New Wag!’s business, prospects, financial conditions, or results of operations. A decline in the market price of New Wag!’s securities also could adversely affect New Wag!’s ability to issue additional securities and New Wag!’s ability to obtain additional financing in the future.

Insiders will continue to have substantial influence over New Wag! after the Closing, which could limit your ability to affect the outcome of key transactions, including a change of control.

Upon the Closing, New Wag!’s executive officers, directors, and their affiliates will beneficially own approximately 50.2% of New Wag!’s common stock outstanding, assuming maximum redemptions, representing 50.2% of the vote.

As a result, these stockholders, if they act together, will be able to influence New Wag!’s management and affairs and all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, amendments of New Wag!’s organizational documents, and approval of significant corporate transactions. They may also have interests that differ from yours and may vote in a way with which you disagree and which may be adverse to your interests. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, preventing, or deterring a change in control of New Wag! or changes in its management. Further, this control will make the approval of certain transactions difficult or impossible without the support of these stockholders and their votes and might affect the market price of New Wag!’s common stock.

The numbers of shares and percentage interests set forth above are based on a number of assumptions, including that: (1) none of the public shareholders exercise their redemption rights; (2) CHW does not issue any additional equity securities prior to the Business Combination, other than the issuance of up to 500,000 shares of New Wag! common stock to the PIPE and Backstop Investor and that no other event occurs that would change the merger consideration from what it would have been as of the date of the initial signing of the Business Combination Agreement; and (3) there are no future exercises of the CHW Warrants. If the actual facts differ from these assumptions, the numbers of shares and percentage interests set forth above will be different.

If securities or industry analysts either do not publish research about New Wag! or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about New Wag!, New Wag!’s business or New Wag!’s market, or if they adversely change their recommendations regarding New Wag!’s common stock, the trading price or trading volume of New Wag!’s common stock could decline.

The trading market for New Wag!’s common stock will be influenced in part by the research and reports that securities or industry analysts may publish about us, New Wag!’s business, New Wag!’s market, or New Wag!’s competitors. If one or more securities analysts initiate research with an unfavorable rating or downgrade New Wag!’s Common Stock, provide a more favorable recommendation about New Wag!’s competitors or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about New Wag!’s business, New Wag!’s Common Stock price would likely decline. If few securities analysts commence coverage of us, or if one or more of these analysts cease coverage of New Wag!, or fail to publish reports on New Wag! regularly, New Wag! could lose visibility in the financial markets and demand for New Wag!’s securities could decrease, which in turn could cause the price and trading volume of New Wag!’s common stock to decline.

A significant portion of New Wag!’s total outstanding shares is restricted from immediate resale but may be sold into the market in the near future, which could cause the market price of New Wag!’s common stock to decline significantly, even if New Wag!’s business is doing well. Prior to the expiration or termination of the applicable restrictions, New Wag!’s common stock may have a reduced public “float.”

The market price of New Wag!’s common stock could decline as a result of sales of a large number of shares of New Wag!’s common stock in the market after the Closing, or the perception that these sales could occur.

97

It is anticipated that, upon completion of the Business Combination, assuming that no public shareholders elect to have their public shares redeemed and all outstanding 12,500,000 public warrants, 4,238,636 private placement warrants, 2,378,375 Lender Warrants and 91,310Wag! Common Warrants are exercised, the ownership of New Wag! will be as follows: CHW’s public shareholders are expected to hold 25,000,000 shares of New Wag! common stock, or approximately 37.4% of the outstanding New Wag! common stock; the PIPE and Backstop Investor is expected to hold 500,000 shares of New Wag! Common stock, or approximately 0.8% of the outstanding New Wag! common stock; the Sponsor is expected to hold 6,623,636 shares of New Wag! common stock, or approximately 9.9% of the outstanding New Wag! common stock, including the forfeiture of 20,000 shares pursuant to the CHW Founders Stock Letter to be contributed to the issuance of New Wag! Community Shares; the Blue Torch shareholders are expected to hold 2,378,375 shares of New Wag! common stock, or approximately 3.6% of the outstanding New Wag! common stock; The anchor investors are expected to hold 720,000 shares of New Wag! common stock, or approximately 1.1% of the outstanding New Wag! common stock; Chardan Capital Markets, LLC (“Chardan”), the representative of the underwriters in CHW’s IPO, is expected to hold 62,500 shares of New Wag! common stock, or approximately 0.1% of the outstanding New Wag! common stock; 300,000 New Wag! Community Shares are expected to be issued, or approximately 0.5% of the outstanding New Wag! common stock; the Wag! Series P Investors are expected to hold 1,100,000 shares of New Wag! common stock, or approximately 1.6% of the outstanding New Wag! common stock; The Wag! Common Warrants holders are expected to hold 91,310 shares of New Wag! common stock, or approximately 0.1% of the outstanding New Wag! common stock; and the continuing Wag! stockholders are expected to hold 30,000,000 shares of New Wag! Common stock, or approximately 44.9% of the outstanding New Wag! common stock.

At any time after the expiration of a lock-up to which such shares are subject (either pursuant to a Lock-Up Agreement, the lock-up provisions of the IPO Letter Agreement or the lock-up provisions of the Proposed Bylaws), certain stockholders will be entitled, under New Wag!’s Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, to certain rights with respect to the registration of the offer and sale of those shares under the Securities Act, including requesting New Wag! file a registration statement to register the offer and sale of their shares. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, certain stockholders can demand up to three underwritten offerings; provided, that New Wag! is not obligated to effect an underwritten offering within ninety (90) days after the closing of another underwritten offering. Furthermore, certain stockholders can demand up to four block trades or other coordinated offerings in any 12-month period and they will be entitled to customary piggyback registration rights.

In addition, New Wag! intends to file a registration statement to register shares reserved for future issuance under New Wag!’s equity compensation plans. Upon effectiveness of that registration statement, subject to the satisfaction of applicable vesting restrictions and the expiration or waiver of the market standoff agreements, Lock-Up Agreements, and lock-up provisions of the Proposed Bylaws referred to above, the shares issued upon exercise of outstanding stock options, restricted stock unit awards, and warrants or the vesting of other equity awards granted under such plans will be available for immediate resale in the public market.

Sales of New Wag!’s common stock as restrictions end or pursuant to registration rights may make it more difficult for New Wag! to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that New Wag! deems appropriate. These sales also could cause the trading price of New Wag!’s common stock to fall and make it more difficult for you to sell shares of New Wag!’s common stock at a time and price that you deem appropriate.

Prior to the expiration or termination of the applicable provisions of the Lock-Up Agreement, the lock-up provisions of the IPO Letter Agreement or the lock-up provisions of the Proposed Bylaws, the subject shares of New Wag! Common Stock will be restricted from resale, which may reduce the public “float” of the New Wag! Common Stock, possibly making it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of the New Wag! Common Stock on a national securities exchange, and possibly having the effect of reducing the trading market for shares of New Wag! Common Stock, which could adversely affect the price of shares of New Wag! Common Stock.

98

Because there are no current plans to pay cash dividends on the New Wag! common stock for the foreseeable future, you may not receive any return on investment unless you sell your New Wag! common stock at a price greater than what you paid for it.

New Wag! intends to retain future earnings, if any, for future operations, expansion, and debt repayment and there are no current plans to pay any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. The declaration, amount and payment of any future dividends on shares of New Wag! common stock will be at the sole discretion of the New Wag! Board. The New Wag! Board may take into account general and economic conditions, New Wag!’s financial condition and results of operations, New Wag!’s available cash and current and anticipated cash needs, capital requirements, contractual, legal, tax and regulatory restrictions, implications of the payment of dividends by New Wag! to its stockholders or by its subsidiaries to it, and such other factors as the New Wag! Board may deem relevant. As a result, you may not receive any return on an investment in New Wag! common stock unless you sell your New Wag! common stock for a price greater than that which you paid for it.

New Wag! stockholders may experience dilution in the future.

The percentage of shares of New Wag! common stock owned by current stockholders may be diluted in the future because of equity issuances for acquisitions, capital market transactions, or otherwise, including, without limitation, equity awards that New Wag! may grant to its directors, officers, and employees, exercise of the New Wag! warrants or meeting the conditions under the Earnout Shares and the Management Earnout Shares. In connection with the Business Combination, New Wag! will grant to the lender of the Credit Facility a certain amount of warrants to acquire New Wag! common stock. Such issuances may have a dilutive effect on New Wag!’s earnings per share, which could adversely affect the market price of New Wag! common stock.

The Proposed Charter will provide, subject to limited exceptions, that the Court of Chancery will be the sole and exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation matters, which could limit New Wag!’s stockholders’ ability to obtain a chosen judicial forum for disputes with New Wag! or its directors, officers, employees or stockholders.

The Proposed Charter will require, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that derivative actions brought in New Wag!’s name, actions against directors, officers and employees for breach of fiduciary duty and other similar actions may be brought in the Court of Chancery or, if that court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, another federal or state court situated in the State of Delaware. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of New Wag!’s capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the forum provisions in the Proposed Charter. In addition, the Proposed Charter and amended and restated bylaws will provide that the federal district courts of the United States shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

In March 2020, the Delaware Supreme Court issued a decision in Salzburg et al. v. Sciabacucchi, which found that an exclusive forum provision providing for claims under the Securities Act to be brought in federal court is facially valid under Delaware law. It is unclear whether this decision will be appealed, or what the final outcome of this case will be. New Wag! intends to enforce this provision, but it does not know whether courts in other jurisdictions will agree with this decision or enforce it.

This choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with New Wag! or any of its directors, officers, other employees or stockholders, which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, New Wag! may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm its business, operating results and financial condition.

Additionally, it is uncertain whether this choice of forum provision is enforceable. Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. In light of this

99

uncertainty, investors bringing a claim may face certain additional risks, including increased costs and uncertainty of litigation outcomes

Anti-takeover provisions in the Proposed Organizational Documents could delay or prevent a change of control.

Certain provisions of the Proposed Charter and the Proposed Bylaws to become effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, defer or prevent a merger, acquisition, tender offer, takeover attempt or other change of control transaction that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by New Wag!’s stockholders.

These provisions provide for, among other things:

•

the ability of New Wag!’s board of directors to issue one or more series of preferred stock;

•

a classified board;

•

advance notice for nominations of directors by stockholders and for stockholders to include matters to be considered at New Wag!’s annual meetings;

•

certain limitations on convening special stockholder meetings;

•

limiting the persons who may call special meetings of stockholders;

•

limiting the ability of stockholders to act by written consent; and

•

New Wag!’s board of directors have the express authority to make, alter or repeal New Wag!’s amended and restated bylaws.

These anti-takeover provisions could make it more difficult or frustrate or prevent a third party from acquiring New Wag!, even if the third party’s offer may be considered beneficial by many of New Wag!’s stockholders. Additionally, the provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by New Wag! stockholders to replace or remove its current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of New Wag!’s board of directors, which is responsible for appointing the members of its management. As a result, New Wag!’s stockholders may be limited in their ability to obtain a premium for their shares. These provisions could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for you and other stockholders to elect directors of your choosing and to cause New Wag! to take other corporate actions you desire. See “Description of New Wag!’s Securities.”

Claims for indemnification by New Wag!’s directors and officers may reduce New Wag!’s available funds to satisfy successful third-party claims against New Wag! and may reduce the amount of money available to New Wag!.

The Proposed Organizational Documents will provide that New Wag! will indemnify its directors and officers, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

In addition, as permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, the amended and restated bylaws and its indemnification agreements that it will enter into with its directors and officers will provide that:

•

New Wag! will indemnify its directors and officers for serving New Wag! in those capacities or for serving other business enterprises at its request, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Delaware law provides that a corporation may indemnify such person if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the registrant and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful;

•

New Wag! may, in its discretion, indemnify employees and agents in those circumstances where indemnification is permitted by applicable law;

•

New Wag! will be required to advance expenses, as incurred, to its directors and officers in connection with defending a proceeding, except that such directors or officers shall undertake to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification;

100

•

New Wag! will not be obligated pursuant to its amended and restated bylaws to indemnify a person with respect to proceedings initiated by that person against New Wag! or its other indemnitees, except with respect to proceedings authorized by its board of directors or brought to enforce a right to indemnification;

•

the rights conferred in the amended and restated bylaws are not exclusive, and New Wag! is authorized to enter into indemnification agreements with its directors, officers, employees and agents and to obtain insurance to indemnify such persons; and

•

New Wag! may not retroactively amend its bylaw provisions to reduce its indemnification obligations to directors, officers, employees and agents.

Risks Related to Being a Public Company

Our management team has limited experience managing a public company and may not successfully manage our transition to public company status.

Most members of our management team have limited experience managing a publicly-traded company, interacting with public company investors and complying with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies. Our management team may not successfully or efficiently manage the transition to being a public company that is subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under the federal securities laws and the continuous scrutiny of securities analysts and investors. These new obligations and constituents will require significant attention from our senior management and could divert their attention away from the day-to-day management of our business, which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Following the Closing, New Wag! will incur significant increased expenses and administrative burdens as a public company, which could have an adverse effect on its business, financial condition, and operating results.

Following the Closing, New Wag! will face increased legal, accounting, administrative, and other costs and expenses as a public company that Wag! does not incur as a private company and these expenses may increase even more after New Wag! is no longer an “emerging growth company.” The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, including the requirements of Section 404, as well as rules and regulations subsequently implemented by the SEC, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and the rules and regulations promulgated and to be promulgated thereunder, the PCAOB and the securities exchanges and the listing standards of the Nasdaq, impose additional reporting and other obligations on public companies. Compliance with public company requirements will increase costs and make certain activities more time-consuming. A number of those requirements will require New Wag! to carry out activities Wag! has not done previously. For example, New Wag! will create new board committees, enter into new insurance policies, and adopt new internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures. In addition, expenses associated with SEC reporting requirements will be incurred. Furthermore, if any issues in complying with those requirements are identified (for example, if management or New Wag!’s independent registered public accounting firm identifies material weaknesses in the internal control over financial reporting), New Wag! could incur additional costs rectifying those issues, the existence of those issues could adversely affect New Wag!’s reputation or investor perceptions of it and it may be more expensive to obtain director and officer liability insurance. Risks associated with New Wag!’s status as a public company may make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on the New Wag! Board or as executive officers. In addition, as a public company, New Wag! may be subject to stockholder activism, which can lead to substantial costs, distract management, and impact the manner in which New Wag! operates New Wag!’s business in ways New Wag! does not currently anticipate. As a result of disclosure of information in this proxy statement/​prospectus and in filings required of a public company, New Wag!’s business and financial condition will become more visible, which may result in threatened or actual litigation, including by competitors and other third parties. If such claims are successful, New Wag!’s business and results of operations could be materially adversely affected and even if the claims do not result in litigation or are resolved in New Wag!’s favor, these claims and the time and resources necessary to resolve them, could divert the resources of New Wag!’s management and adversely affect New Wag!’s business and results of operations. The additional reporting and other obligations imposed by these rules and regulations will increase legal and financial compliance costs

101

and the costs of related legal, accounting, and administrative activities. These increased costs will require New Wag! to divert a significant amount of money that could otherwise be used to expand the business and achieve strategic objectives. Advocacy efforts by stockholders and third parties may also prompt additional changes in governance and reporting requirements, which could further increase costs.

The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources, divert management’s attention and affect its ability to attract and retain qualified board members.

After the completion of the Business Combination, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and any rules promulgated thereunder, as well as the rules of Nasdaq. The requirements of these rules and regulations increase our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly, and increase demand on our systems and resources. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls for financial reporting. In order to maintain and, if required, improve our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting to meet this standard, significant resources and management oversight will be required and, as a result, management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns. These rules and regulations can also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified independent members of our board of directors. Additionally, these rules and regulations make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance. We may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. The increased costs of compliance with public company reporting requirements and our potential failure to satisfy these requirements can have a material adverse effect on our operations, business, financial condition or results of operations.

If we fail to comply with the listing requirements of Nasdaq, we would face possible delisting, which would result in a limited public market for our securities and make obtaining future debt or equity financing more difficult for us.

After the completion of the Business Combination, our common stock and warrants will be listed on Nasdaq under the symbols “PET” and “PETW”, respectively. Our continued listing on the Nasdaq depends on having at least 300 round lot holders. Shares locked up pursuant to the lock-up agreements and the Proposed Bylaws will not be counted for purposes of the listing requirement. CHW expects to be able to meet the required number of round lot holders as of the closing date. Nasdaq may delist our common stock or warrants from trading on its exchange for failure to meet the continued listing standards, including the round lot holders requirement. If our common stock or warrants are delisted and we are not able to list our common stock or warrants on another national securities exchange, our stockholders and warrantholders could face significant material adverse consequences, including limited availability of market quotations for our common stock and warrants and reduced liquidity for the trading of our securities. In addition, we could experience a decreased ability to issue additional securities and obtain additional financing in the future.

In order to satisfy our obligations as a public company, we will need to hire qualified accounting and financial personnel with appropriate public company experience.

As a newly public company, we will need to establish and maintain effective disclosure and financial controls and make changes in our corporate governance practices. We may need to hire additional accounting and financial personnel with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge, and it may be difficult to recruit and retain such personnel. Even if we are able to hire appropriate personnel, our existing operating expenses and operations will be impacted by the direct costs of their employment and the indirect consequences related to the diversion of management resources from research and development efforts.

The Company may be subject to securities litigation, which is expensive and could divert management attention.

Following the Business Combination, the per share price of the common stock may be volatile and, in the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities litigation, including class action litigation. Litigation of this type could result in substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on our

102

business, financial condition, and results of operations. Any adverse determination in litigation could also subject the Company to significant liabilities.

Because the Company will become a publicly traded company by means other than a traditional underwritten initial public offering, the Company’s stockholders may face additional risks and uncertainties.

Because the Company will become a publicly traded company by means of consummating the Business Combination rather than by means of a traditional underwritten initial public offering, there is no independent third-party underwriter selling the shares of the Company’s common stock, and, accordingly, the Company’s stockholders will not have the benefit of an independent review and investigation of the type normally performed by an unaffiliated, independent underwriter in a public securities offering. Due diligence reviews typically include an independent investigation of the background of the company, any advisors and their respective affiliates, review of the offering documents and independent analysis of the plan of business and any underlying financial assumptions. Although CHW performed a due diligence review and investigation of Wag! in connection with the Business Combination, the lack of an independent due diligence review and investigation increases the risk of investment in the Company because CHW’s due diligence review and investigation may not have uncovered facts that would be important to a potential investor.

In addition, because the Company will not become a publicly traded company by means of an traditional underwritten initial public offering, security or industry analysts may not provide, or be less likely to provide, coverage of the Company. Investment banks may also be less likely to agree to underwrite secondary offerings on behalf of the Company than they might otherwise be if the Company became a publicly traded company by means of a traditional underwritten initial public offering because they may be less familiar with the Company as a result of more limited coverage by analysts and the media. The failure to receive research coverage or support in the market for the Company’s common stock could have an adverse effect on the Company’s ability to develop a liquid market for the Company’s common stock.

Risks Related to our Structure and Governance

Upon completion of the Business Combination, the rights of holders of New Wag!’s common stock arising under the DGCL will differ from and may be less favorable to the rights of holders of CHW’s ordinary shares arising under Cayman Islands law.

Upon completion of the Business Combination, the rights of holders of New Wag!’s common stock will arise under the DGCL. The DGCL contains provisions that differ in some respects from those in the Cayman Islands Companies Act, and, therefore, some rights of holders of New Wag!’s common stock could differ from the rights that holders of CHW ordinary shares currently possess. For instance, while class action lawsuits are generally not available to shareholders under Cayman Islands law, such actions are generally available under Delaware law. This change could increase the likelihood that New Wag! becomes involved in costly litigation, which could have a material adverse effect on New Wag!

For a more detailed description of the rights of holders of New Wag!’s common stock under the DGCL and how they may differ from the rights of holders of CHW ordinary shares under Cayman Islands law, please see the section entitled “The Domestication Proposal — Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholders.”

Risks Related to the Business Combination and CHW

Our Sponsor has agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how our public shareholders vote.

Unlike some other blank check companies in which the initial shareholders agree to vote their shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the public shareholders in connection with an initial business combination, Sponsor has agreed, among other things, (i) from the date of the Business Combination Agreement until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms, to not redeem any ordinary shares (or, if applicable, shares of New Wag! common stock) held by it and (ii) prior to the consummation of Business Combination or the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, to vote or cause to be voted, all of the CHW shares beneficially owned

103

by Sponsor, at every meeting of the shareholders of CHW at which such matters are considered and at every adjournment or postponement thereof: (1) in favor of (A) the Business Combination and the Business Combination Agreement and the other transactions contemplated thereby (including any proposals recommended by CHW’s Board of Directors in connection with the Business Combination) and (B) any proposal to adjourn or postpone such meeting of shareholders to a later date if there are not sufficient votes to approve the Business Combination; (2) against any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that could reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of CHW under the Business Combination Agreement; and (3) against (A) any proposal or offer from any person concerning (I) a merger, consolidation, liquidation, recapitalization, share exchange or other business combination transaction involving CHW, or (II) the issuance or acquisition of shares of capital stock or other CHW equity securities (other than as contemplated or permitted by the Business Combination Agreement); and (B) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that would reasonably be expected to (x) impede the fulfillment of CHW’s conditions under the Business Combination Agreement or change in any manner the voting rights of any class of CHW’s shares or (y) result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or other obligation or agreement of Sponsor contained in the CHW Founders Stock Letter. No consideration was provided to the Sponsor in exchange for its agreeing to vote in favor of the Business Combination.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor owns approximately 15% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares.

The consummation of the Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions and if those conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Business Combination Agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms and the Business Combination may not be completed.

The Business Combination Agreement conditions closing of the Business Combination to a number of conditions, including approval of the Business Combination Agreement by Wag! stockholders, approval of the proposals required to effect the Business Combination by CHW shareholders, receipt of certain regulatory approvals, effectiveness of the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part, approval of the shares of New Wag! common stock to be issued to Wag! stockholders for listing on Nasdaq, the accuracy of the representations and warranties by both parties (subject to the materiality standards set forth in the Business Combination Agreement), and the performance by both parties of their covenants and agreements (subject to the materiality standards set forth in the Business Combination Agreement). These closing conditions may not be fulfilled in a timely manner or at all, and, accordingly, the Business Combination may not be completed. In addition, the parties can mutually decide to terminate the Business Combination Agreement at any time, before or after shareholder approvals, or CHW or Wag! may elect to terminate the Business Combination Agreement in certain other circumstances.

Some of CHW’s officers and directors may have conflicts of interest that may influence or have influenced them to support or approve the Business Combination without regard to your interests or in determining whether New Wag! is appropriate for CHW’s initial business combination.

The personal and financial interests of CHW’s Sponsor, officers and directors may influence or have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting a target for the Business Combination, their support for completing the Business Combination and the operation of New Wag! following the Business Combination.

CHW’s Sponsor owns 2,405,000 ordinary shares, which were initially acquired prior to CHW’s IPO for a purchase price of $0.009 per share, and CHW’s officers have pecuniary interests in such ordinary shares through indirect ownership interests in the Sponsor. Such shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $23,809,500 based on the last sale price of $9.90 per share on Nasdaq on June 28, 2022, the record date. In addition, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 4,238,636 private placement warrants, each exercisable for one ordinary share of CHW at $11.50 per share, for a purchase price of $4,238,636, or $1.00 per warrant. CHW’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association require CHW to complete an initial business combination (which will be the Business Combination should it occur) within 15 months from the closing of the IPO, or December 1, 2022 (the “Combination Period”). If the Business Combination is not completed and CHW is forced to wind up, dissolve and liquidate in accordance

104

with the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, the 2,405,000 ordinary shares currently held by CHW’s Sponsor and independent directors, respectively, and the private placement warrants held by the Sponsor will be worthless (as the holders have waived liquidation rights with respect to such ordinary shares).

CHW’s Sponsor, directors and officers, and their respective affiliates have incurred significant out-of-pocket expenses in connection with performing due diligence on suitable targets for business combinations and the negotiation of the Business Combination. At the Closing of the Business Combination, CHW’s Sponsor, directors and officers, and their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on CHW’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable targets for business combinations. On January 18, 2021, CHW issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) to the Sponsor, pursuant to which CHW may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. As of December 31, 2021, there was no amount outstanding under the Promissory Note. If an initial business combination is not completed prior to December 1, 2022, CHW’s Sponsor, directors and officers, or any of their respective affiliates will not be eligible for any such reimbursement.

The exercise of CHW’s directors’ and executive officers’ discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the Business Combination may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether changes to the terms of the Business Combination or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in CHW’s shareholders’ best interest.

In the period leading up to the closing of the Business Combination, events may occur that, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, may require CHW to agree to amend the Business Combination Agreement, to consent to certain actions taken by Wag! or to waive rights that CHW is entitled to under the Business Combination Agreement. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of Wag!’s business, a request by Wag! to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the Business Combination Agreement or the occurrence of other events that would have a material adverse effect on Wag!’s business and would entitle CHW to terminate the Business Combination Agreement. In any of such circumstances, it would be at CHW’s discretion, acting through its board of directors, to grant its consent or waive those rights. The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of the directors described in the preceding risk factors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he or they may believe is best for CHW and its shareholders and what he or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining whether or not to take the requested action. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, CHW does not believe there will be any changes or waivers that CHW’s directors and executive officers would be likely to make after shareholder approval of the Business Combination Proposal has been obtained. While certain changes could be made without further shareholder approval, CHW will circulate a new or amended proxy statement/prospectus and resolicit CHW’s shareholders if changes to the terms of the transaction that would have a material impact on its shareholders are required prior to the vote on the Business Combination Proposal.

A portion of our total outstanding shares are restricted from immediate resale but may be sold into the market in the near future. This could cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly, even if New Wag!’s business is doing well.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of the common stock in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of the common stock. While the Sponsor has agreed, and will continue to be subject, to certain restrictions regarding the transfer of the common stock, these shares may be sold after the expiration of the applicable restrictions. New Wag! may file one or more registration statements prior to or shortly after the closing of the Business Combination to provide for the resale of such shares from time to time. As restrictions on resale end and the registration statements are available for use, the market price of the common stock could decline if the holders of currently restricted shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them.

105

If the sale of some or all of the PIPE and Backstop Investment fails to close and sufficient shareholders exercise their Redemption Rights in connection with the Business Combination, CHW may lack sufficient funds to consummate the Business Combination.

In connection with the Business Combination Agreement, CHW entered into the PIPE and Backstop Subscription Agreements with the PIPE and Backstop Investor, which provides for the purchase of an aggregate of up to 500,000 shares of common stock (the “PIPE and Backstop Securities”) following the Domestication and immediately prior to the Closing in a private placement to close concurrently with, and contingent upon, the closing of the Business Combination, for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, or an aggregate of $5 million. The proceeds from the sale of the PIPE and Backstop Securities will be made available to New Wag! at the Closing for general corporate purposes and will be counted for purposes of satisfying the “minimum cash” condition to Wag’s obligation to consummate the Business Combination. In addition, prior to giving effect to the exercise of any Redemption Rights, the Trust Account has approximately $125,000,000, plus accrued interest since the completion of the CHW IPO. However, if the sale of the PIPE and Backstop Securities does not close by reason of the failure by some or all of the PIPE and Backstop Investor to fund the purchase price for their PIPE and Backstop Securities, for example, and a sufficient number of holders of ordinary shares exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination, we may lack sufficient funds to consummate the Business Combination. Additionally, the PIPE and Backstop Investor’s obligations to purchase the PIPE and Backstop Securities are subject to termination prior to the closing of the sale of the PIPE and Backstop Securities by mutual written consent of CHW, Wag! and the PIPE and Backstop Investor, or if the Business Combination is not consummated on or before November 6, 2022. The PIPE and Backstop Investor’s obligations to purchase the PIPE and Backstop Securities are subject to fulfillment of customary closing conditions, including that the Business Combination must be consummated substantially concurrently with, and immediately following, the purchase of the PIPE and Backstop Securities. In the event of any such failure to fund, any termination of such obligation, or if any such condition is not satisfied and not waived, we may not be able to obtain additional funds to account for such shortfall on terms favorable to us or at all. Any such shortfall would also reduce the amount of funds that we have available for working capital of New Wag!. While the PIPE and Backstop Investor represented to us that it has sufficient funds to satisfy its obligations under the PIPE and Backstop Subscription Agreement, we have not obligated the PIPE and Backstop Investor to reserve funds for such obligations. The Business Combination Agreement includes a minimum condition to Wag!’s obligation to consummate the Business Combination that at least $30 million in cash is available to CHW from the PIPE and Backstop Investment and the Credit Facility together with any cash remaining in the Trust Account after giving effect to any exercise of Redemption Rights by CHW’s shareholders and after the payment of transaction expenses.

For information on the consequences if the Business Combination is not completed or must be restructured, please see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business Combination and CHW.”

Subsequent to the completion of the Business Combination, New Wag! may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on its financial condition and its share price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

CHW cannot assure you that the due diligence CHW has conducted on New Wag! will reveal all material issues that may be present with regard to New Wag!, or that factors outside of CHW’s or New Wag!’s control will not later arise. As a result of unidentified issues or factors outside of CHW’s or New Wag!’s control, New Wag! may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in reporting losses. Even if CHW’s due diligence successfully identifies certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with the preliminary risk analysis conducted by CHW. Even though these charges may be non-cash items that would not have an immediate impact on New Wag!’s liquidity, the fact that New Wag! reports charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about New Wag! or its securities. In addition, charges of this nature may cause New Wag! to violate leverage or other covenants to which it may be subject. Accordingly, any shareholders who choose to remain shareholders following the Business Combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares from any such write-down or write-downs.

106

CHW’s public shareholders will experience dilution due to the issuance to Wag! existing equityholders of securities entitling them to a significant voting stake in New Wag!.

Based upon the assumptions described under the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information,” CHW’s current public shareholders, the PIPE and Backstop Investor and the Sponsor would hold in the aggregate approximately 27.9%, 1.1% and 5.0%, respectively, of the outstanding economic interests in New Wag! (in each case, assuming no redemptions by CHW’s public shareholders), following the consummation of the Business Combination. Assuming 50% redemptions by CHW’s public shareholders and subject to the other assumptions described under the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information”, CHW’s non-redeeming public shareholders, the PIPE and Backstop Investor and the Sponsor would hold in the aggregate approximately 17.0%, 1.2%, and 5.8%, respectively, of the outstanding economic interests in New Wag! following the consummation of the Business Combination. Assuming maximum redemptions by CHW’s public shareholders and subject to the other assumptions described under the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information”, CHW’s non-redeeming public shareholders, the PIPE and Backstop Investor and the Sponsor would hold in the aggregate approximately 2.2%, 1.4% and 6.8%, respectively, of the outstanding economic interests in New Wag! following the consummation of the Business Combination. Without limiting the other assumptions described under the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information,” these ownership percentages do not take into account:

•

any warrants or options to purchase the common stock, including the public warrants and the private placement warrants, that will be outstanding following the Business Combination;

•

any equity awards that may be issued by New Wag!; and

•

the Earnout Shares and the Management Earnout Shares.

If any shares of common stock are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, the percentage of New Wag!’s outstanding voting stock held by the current holders of CHW will decrease relative to the percentage held if none of the ordinary shares are redeemed. To the extent that any of the outstanding public warrants and private placement warrants are exercised for shares of common stock, CHW’s existing shareholders may experience substantial dilution. The Sponsor’s pro forma economic ownership of New Wag! (assuming exercise of the public warrants and the private placement warrants) is set forth below:

This presentation assumes maximum redemptions in which the CHW public shareholders redeem all 12,500,000 outstanding shares of CHW’s ordinary shares.

(2)

Percentage calculations assume the exercise and conversion of: (i) 12,500,000 public warrants and (ii) 4,238,636 private placement warrants held by Sponsor. Percentage calculations exclude: (i) the Earnout Shares (defined herein), all of which will be unvested as of the Closing and (ii) shares and awards issuable under the Omnibus Incentive Plan.

(3)

Percentage calculations assume the exercise and conversion of: (i) 6,250,000 public warrants and (ii) 4,238,636 private placement warrants held by Sponsor. Percentage calculations exclude: (i) the Earnout Shares (defined herein), all of which will be unvested as of the Closing and (ii) shares and awards issuable under the Omnibus Incentive Plan.

(4)

Holdings of the Sponsor consists of (i) the shares of common stock held by the Sponsor and (ii) 4,238,636 shares issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants held by Sponsor, net of the cancellation of 20,000 founder shares held by Sponsor for New Wag! Community Shares under each scenario, and the cancellation of 13,327 founder shares held by the Sponsor in a maximum redemption scenario, both in connection with the Business Combination and in accordance with the terms of the CHW Founders Stock Letter.

107

CHW public shareholders who do not redeem their ordinary shares will have a reduced ownership and voting interest after the Business Combination and will exercise less influence over management of New Wag!.

Upon the issuance of New Wag! common stock in connection with the Business Combination, the percentage ownership of public shareholders who do not redeem their ordinary shares will be diluted. The percentage of the New Wag! common stock that will be owned by public shareholders as a group will vary based on the number of ordinary shares for which the holders thereof request redemption in connection with the Business Combination. To illustrate the potential ownership percentages of public shareholders under different redemption levels, based on the number of issued and outstanding ordinary shares on December 31, 2021, and based on the New Wag! ordinary shares expected to be issued in the Business Combination and the common stock expected to be issued as part of the PIPE and Backstop Investment, non-redeeming public shareholders, as a group, will own:

•

if there are no redemptions of public shares, 26.3% of New Wag!’s common stock expected to be outstanding immediately after the Business Combination; or

•

if there are 50% redemptions, 15.1% of New Wag!’s common stock expected to be outstanding immediately after the Business Combination; or

•

if there are maximum redemptions, none of New Wag!’s common stock expected to be outstanding immediately after the Business Combination.

Because of this, public shareholders, as a group, will have less influence on the board of directors, management and policies of New Wag! than they now have on the board of directors, management and policies of CHW. For further discussion of the assumptions underlying the no redemptions, 50% redemptions, and maximum redemptions scenarios set forth above, please see “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”

The ownership percentage with respect to New Wag! following the Business Combination does not take into account the following potential issuances of securities, which will result in further dilution to public shareholders who do not redeem their public shares:

•

the issuance of up to 12,500,000 shares upon exercise of the public warrants at a price of $11.50 per share;

•

the issuance of up to 4,238,636 shares upon exercise of the private placement warrants held by the Sponsor at a price of $11.50 per share;

•

the issuance of 2,378,375 shares upon exercise of the private placement warrants in connection with the Credit Facility;

•

the issuance of the Earnout Shares and the Management Earnout Shares; and

•

the issuance of shares under the Omnibus Incentive Plan.

•

the issuance of 91,310 shares upon exercise of Wag! Common Warrants

If all such shares were issued immediately after the Business Combination, based on the number of issued and outstanding ordinary shares of CHW, and based on the common stock expected to be issued in the Business Combination and the common stock expected to be issued as part of the PIPE and Backstop Investment, non-redeeming public shareholders, as a group, would own:

•

if there are no redemptions of public shares, 37.4% of New Wag!’s common stock outstanding assuming all such shares were issued immediately after the Business Combination; or

•

if there are 50% redemptions of the outstanding public shares, 31.1% of New Wag!’s common stock outstanding assuming all such shares were issued immediately after the Business Combination; or

•

if there are maximum redemptions of the outstanding public shares, 23.4% of New Wag!’s common stock outstanding assuming all such shares were issued immediately after the Business Combination.

108

CHW has no operating history and is subject to a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution requirement. As such, there is a risk that CHW will be unable to continue as a going concern if it does not consummate an initial business combination by December 1, 2022. If CHW is unable to effect an initial business combination by December 1, 2022, CHW will be forced to liquidate and its warrants will expire worthless.

CHW is a blank check company, and as it has no operating history and is subject to a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution requirement, there is a risk that CHW will be unable to continue as a going concern if it does not consummate an initial business combination by December 1, 2022. Unless CHW amends its Existing Organizational Documents (which would require the affirmative vote of the holders of 65% of all then outstanding ordinary shares) and certain other agreements into which CHW has entered to expand the life of CHW, if CHW does not complete an initial business combination by December 1, 2022, CHW 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 the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to CHW to pay its income taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of the then-outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of CHW’s remaining shareholders and its board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to its 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 CHW’s warrants, which will expire and be worthless if CHW fails to consummate an initial business combination within 15 months from the closing of its initial public offering. CHW’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that, if it winds up for any other reason prior to the consummation of the initial business combination, CHW will follow the foregoing procedures with respect to the liquidation of the Trust Account as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, subject to applicable Cayman Islands law. In such case, based on the amount of funds on deposit in the Trust Account as of the record date, CHW’s public shareholders would receive only approximately $10.00 per public share upon the redemption of their shares and their warrants would expire worthless.

Because the market price of shares of New Wag! Common Stock will fluctuate, Wag!’s stockholders cannot be certain of the value of the merger consideration they will receive until the Closing of the Business Combination.

Upon completion of the Business Combination, each share of Wag! common stock and Wag! preferred stock will be converted into the right to receive shares of New Wag! common stock. The stock component of the merger consideration that Wag! stockholders will receive is a fixed number of shares of New Wag! common stock; it is not a number of shares with a particular fixed market value. The market price of New Wag! common stock at the Effective Time of the Business Combination may vary significantly from its price on the date the Business Combination Agreement was executed or on other dates, including the date on which Wag! stockholders provide written consent to the adoption of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. Stock price changes may result from a variety of factors, including changes in the business, operations, or prospects of CHW, regulatory considerations, and general business, market, industry, or economic conditions. Many of these factors are outside of the control of CHW and Wag!.

CHW has a limited ability to assess the management of Wag!’s business and, as a result, cannot assure you that Wag!’s management has all the skills, qualifications, or abilities to manage a public company.

CHW’s ability to assess Wag!’s management may be limited due to a lack of time, resources, or information. CHW’s assessment of the capabilities of Wag!’s management, therefore, may prove to be incorrect, and Wag! management may lack the skills, qualifications, or abilities that CHW believed Wag! management had. Should Wag!’s management not possess the skills, qualifications, or abilities necessary to manage a public company, the operations and profitability of New Wag! post-Business Combination may be negatively impacted.

109

Wag! stockholders will have a reduced ownership and voting interest after the Business Combination and will exercise less influence over management.

Wag! stockholders currently have the right to vote in the election of the Wag! Board and on other matters requiring stockholder approval under Delaware law and the existing Wag! charter and bylaws. Upon completion of the Business Combination, Wag! stockholders who become New Wag! stockholders will have a percentage ownership of New Wag! that is smaller than such ownership of Wag!. Additionally, one of the expected seven members of the New Wag! Board following the Business Combination will be appointed in consultation with the Sponsor. Based on the number of issued and outstanding CHW ordinary shares, Wag! common stock and Wag! preferred stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, and based on the exchange ratio applicable to the Business Combination (the “Exchange Ratio”), Wag! stockholders, as a group, will receive shares representing approximately 65.4% of the shares of New Wag! common stock, including 2.3% for the Series P Investors, expected to be outstanding immediately after the Business Combination (assuming no redemptions by current CHW public shareholders and excluding the Earnout Shares, any warrants or options to purchase New Wag! common stock that will be outstanding following the Business Combination or any equity awards that may be issued under the proposed New Wag! Incentive Plan following the Business Combination and shares purchased by persons in the PIPE and Backstop Investment). Because of this, current Wag! stockholders, as a group, will have less influence on the board of directors, management, and policies of New Wag! than they now have on the board of directors, management and policies of Wag!.

CHW shareholders will have a reduced ownership and voting interest after the Business Combination and will exercise less influence over management.

Upon the issuance of the shares of New Wag! common stock to Wag! stockholders, the percentage ownership of current CHW shareholders will be diluted. Additionally, of the expected seven members of the New Wag! Board after the completion of the Business Combination, one will be appointed by joint agreement between New Wag! and CHW, and if no agreement can be reached, then by New Wag!, and the rest will be current Wag! directors or appointed by current Wag! stockholders. Because of this, current CHW shareholders, as a group, will have less influence on the directors, management, and policies of New Wag! than they now have on the board of directors, management, and policies of CHW.

The market price of shares of New Wag! common stock after the Business Combination may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the prices of CHW’s ordinary shares.

Upon completion of the Business Combination, holders of shares of Wag! common stock and preferred stock will become holders of shares of New Wag! common stock. Prior to the Business Combination, CHW has had limited operations. Upon completion of the Business Combination, New Wag!’s results of operations will depend upon the performance of New Wag!’s businesses, which are affected by factors that are different from those currently affecting the results of operations of CHW.

There may be risks associated with the use of a third-party platform to facilitate the issuance of New Wag! Community Shares.

At our request and as described in the Business Combination Agreement, the Company is exploring options to implement a distribution of New Wag! Community Shares to members of the pet wellness and welfare community as identified by our officers and directors. If distributed, New Wag! is exploring donating 300,000 shares, of which up to 150,000 shares would go to eligible Pet Caregivers and the remaining shares to other members of the pet wellness and welfare community, such as charities and animal shelters. This issuance of New Wag! Community Shares is expected to be arranged through and administered by one or more third-party program administrators. There may be risks associated with the use of the third-party platform that we cannot foresee, including risks related to the technology and operation of the platform, and the publicity and the use of social media by users of the platform that we cannot control, and potentially increased costs in connection with our annual proxy solicitation. For more information, see The Business Combination — Additional Agreements — Issuance of New Wag! Community Shares.

110

CHW has not obtained an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent firm, and consequently, you may have no assurance from an independent source that the terms of the Business Combination are fair to CHW from a financial point of view.

The CHW Board did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with their determination to approve the Business Combination. CHW is not required to obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that is a member of FINRA or from another independent firm that the price it is paying is fair to CHW from a financial point of view. In analyzing the Business Combination, the CHW Board and CHW’s management conducted due diligence on Wag! and researched the industry in which Wag! operates and concluded that the Business Combination was in the best interest of its shareholders. Accordingly, CHW’s shareholders will be relying solely on the judgment of the CHW Board in determining the value of the Business Combination, and the CHW Board may not have properly valued such business. The lack of a third-party valuation or fairness opinion may also lead an increased number of shareholders to vote against the Business Combination or demand redemption of their shares, which could potentially impact our ability to consummate the Business Combination. For more information about our decision-making process, see the section entitled “The Business Combination Agreement — CHW’s Board of Director’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination.”

If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved, and an insufficient number of votes have been obtained to authorize the consummation of the Business Combination, the CHW Board will not have the ability to adjourn the Special Meeting in order to solicit further votes, and, therefore, the Business Combination will not be approved.

The CHW Board is seeking approval to adjourn the Special Meeting if at the Special Meeting there are insufficient votes to approve consummation of the Business Combination. If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved, the CHW Board will not have the ability to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date and, therefore, will not have sufficient time to solicit votes to approve consummation of the Business Combination, which would not be completed.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in this proxy statement/​prospectus is for illustrative purposes only and the actual financial condition and results of operations after the Business Combination may differ materially.

The unaudited pro forma financial information included herein is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what New Wag!’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been had the Business Combination been completed on the date(s) indicated. The preparation of the pro forma financial information is based upon available information and certain assumptions and estimates that CHW and Wag! currently believe are reasonable. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information for New Wag! following the Business Combination in this proxy statement/​prospectus is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what our actual financial position or results of operations would have been had the Business Combination been completed on the dates indicated. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” for more information.

In addition, the assumptions used in preparing the pro forma financial information may not prove to be accurate and other factors may affect New Wag!’s financial condition or results of operations following the Closing. Any potential decline in New Wag!’s financial condition or results of operations may cause significant variations in the stock price of New Wag!.

We cannot assure you that the New Wag! common stock will be approved for listing on Nasdaq or that New Wag! will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq.

In connection with the closing, CHW intends to list the New Wag! common stock and warrants on Nasdaq under the symbols “PET” and “PETW”, respectively. New Wag!’s continued eligibility for listing may depend on the number of CHW ordinary shares that are redeemed. If, after the Business Combination, Nasdaq delists the New Wag! common stock from trading on its exchange for failure to meet the listing standards and New Wag! is not able to list such securities on another national securities exchange, New Wag!

111

expects such securities could be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, New Wag! and its stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences including:

•

a limited availability of market quotations for New Wag!’s securities;

•

reduced liquidity for New Wag!’s securities;

•

a determination that the New Wag! common stock is a “penny stock”, which will require brokers trading the New Wag! common stock to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for shares of New Wag! common stock;

•

a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

CHW and Wag! will be subject to business uncertainties while the Business Combination is pending.

Uncertainty about the closing or effect of the Business Combination may affect the relationship between CHW and Wag! and their respective suppliers, users, distributors, licensors, and licensees during the pendency of the Business Combination. Any such impact may have an adverse effect on CHW or Wag!, and consequently on New Wag!. These uncertainties may cause parties that deal with CHW or Wag! to seek to change existing business relationships with them and to delay or defer decisions concerning CHW or Wag!. Changes to existing business relationships, including termination or modification, could negatively affect each of CHW’s and Wag!’s revenue, earnings and cash flow, as well as the market price of CHW’s ordinary shares. Adverse effects arising from the pendency of the Business Combination could be exacerbated by any delays in closing of the Business Combination or termination of the Business Combination Agreement.

Additionally, the attention of CHW’s and Wag!’s management may be directed towards the completion of the Business Combination, including obtaining regulatory approvals and other transaction-related considerations, and may be diverted from the day-to-day business operations of CHW and Wag!, as applicable, and matters related to the Business Combination may require commitments of time and resources that could otherwise have been devoted to other opportunities that might have been beneficial to CHW and Wag!, as applicable. Further, the Business Combination may give rise to potential liabilities, including as a result of pending and future stockholder lawsuits relating to the Business Combination. Any of these matters could adversely affect the businesses, financial condition, or results of operations of CHW and Wag!.

Third parties may terminate or alter existing contracts or relationships with CHW or Wag!.

CHW and Wag! have contracts with Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents, distributors, affiliates, landlords, licensors, and other business partners that may require CHW or Wag!, as applicable, to obtain consent from these other parties in connection with the Business Combination. If these consents cannot be obtained, the counterparties to these contracts and other third parties with which CHW or Wag! currently have relationships may have the ability to terminate, reduce the scope of, or otherwise materially adversely alter their relationships with either or both parties in anticipation of the Business Combination, or with New Wag! following the Business Combination. The pursuit of such rights may result in CHW, Wag!, or New Wag! suffering a loss of potential future revenue or incurring liabilities in connection with a breach of such agreements and losing rights that are material to its business. Any such disruptions could limit New Wag!’s ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination. The adverse effect of such disruptions could also be exacerbated by a delay in the closing of the Business Combination or the termination of the Business Combination Agreement.

CHW and Wag! will incur substantial transaction fees and costs in connection with the Business Combination and the integration of their businesses.

CHW and Wag! have incurred and expect to incur additional material non-recurring expenses in connection with the Business Combination and the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and related transaction agreements. While both CHW and Wag! have assumed that a certain level of expenses would be incurred in connection with the Business Combination, there are many factors beyond their control that could affect the total amount of, or the timing of, anticipated expenses with respect to the integration and implementation of the combined businesses. Additional

112

unanticipated costs may be incurred in the course of conducting the business of New Wag! after the completion of the Business Combination.

Termination of the Business Combination Agreement could negatively impact CHW and Wag!.

If the Business Combination is not completed for any reason, including as a result of Wag! stockholders declining to adopt the Business Combination Agreement and related proposals or CHW shareholders declining to approve the proposals required to effect the Business Combination, the ongoing businesses of Wag! and CHW may be adversely impacted and, without realizing any of the anticipated benefits of completing the Business Combination, Wag! and CHW would be subject to a number of risks, including the following:

a.

Wag! or CHW may experience negative reactions from the financial markets, and CHW may experience a negative reaction to its stock price (including to the extent that current market prices reflect a market assumption that the Business Combination will be completed);

b.

Wag! may experience negative reactions from its users, vendors, and employees;

c.

Wag! and CHW will have incurred substantial expenses and will be required to pay certain costs relating to the Business Combination, whether or not the Business Combination is completed; and

d.

since the Business Combination Agreement restricts the conduct of Wag!’s and CHW’s businesses prior to the completion of the Business Combination, each of Wag! and CHW may not have been able to take certain actions during the pendency of the Business Combination that would have benefitted it as an independent company, and the opportunity to take such actions may no longer be available. See “The Business Combination Agreement — Representations, Warranties and Covenants”.

If the Business Combination Agreement is terminated and the Wag! Board seeks another business combination, Wag! stockholders cannot be certain that Wag! will be able to find a party willing to offer equivalent or more attractive consideration than the consideration CHW has agreed to provide in the Business Combination or that such other merger or business combination is completed. If the Business Combination Agreement is terminated and the CHW Board seeks another merger or business combination, CHW shareholders cannot be certain that CHW will be able to find another acquisition target that would constitute a business combination or that such other merger or business combination will be completed. See “The Business Combination Agreement — Termination”.

Wag! directors and officers may have interests in the Business Combination different from the interests of Wag! stockholders.

The executive officers of Wag! negotiated the terms of the Business Combination Agreement with the executive officers of CHW, and the Wag! Board determined that entering into the Business Combination Agreement was in the best interests of Wag! and its stockholders, declared the Business Combination Agreement advisable, and recommended that Wag! stockholders adopt the Business Combination Agreement. In considering these facts and the other information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, you should be aware that Wag! executive officers and directors may have financial interests in the Business Combination that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Wag! stockholders. The Wag! Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in reaching the determination to approve the terms of the Business Combination and in recommending to Wag! stockholders that they vote to approve the Business Combination. See “The Business Combination Agreement — Interests of Wag!’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination”.

CHW directors and officers may have interests in the Business Combination different from the interests of CHW shareholders.

Executive officers of CHW negotiated the terms of the Business Combination Agreement with their counterparts at Wag!, and the CHW Board determined that entering into the Business Combination Agreement was in the best interests of CHW and its shareholders, declared the Business Combination Agreement advisable, and recommended that CHW shareholders approve the proposals required to effect the Business Combination. In considering these facts and the other information contained in this proxy

113

statement/prospectus, you should be aware that CHW executive officers and directors may have financial interests in the Business Combination that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of CHW shareholders. The CHW Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in reaching the determination to approve the terms of the Business Combination and in recommending to CHW shareholders that they vote to approve the Business Combination. See “The Business Combination — Interests of CHW’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination”.

CHW and Wag! may be materially adversely affected by negative publicity related to the proposed Business Combination and in connection with other matters.

From time to time, political and public sentiment in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with other matters could result in a significant amount of adverse press coverage and other adverse public statements affecting CHW and Wag!. Adverse press coverage and other negative publicity, whether or not driven by political or public sentiment, may also result in investigations by regulators, legislators and law enforcement officials or ultimately in legal claims. Responding to these investigations and lawsuits, regardless of the ultimate outcome of the proceeding, can divert the time and effort of senior management from the management of CHW’s and Wag!’s respective businesses. Addressing any adverse publicity, governmental scrutiny, or enforcement or other legal proceedings is time consuming and expensive and, regardless of the factual basis for the assertions being made, can have a negative impact on the reputation of CHW and Wag!, on the morale and performance of their employees, and on their relationships with regulators. It may also have an adverse impact on their ability to take timely advantage of various business and market opportunities. The direct and indirect effects of negative publicity, and the demands of responding to and addressing it, may have a material adverse effect on CHW’s and Wag!’s respective businesses, financial condition, and results of operations.

The Business Combination Agreement and Stockholder Support Agreement contains provisions that may discourage other companies from attempting to acquire Wag! for greater merger consideration.

The Business Combination Agreement contains provisions that may discourage a third party from submitting a business combination proposal to Wag! that might result in greater value to Wag! stockholders than the Business Combination with CHW or may result in a potential competing acquirer proposing to pay a lower per share price to acquire Wag! than it might otherwise have proposed to pay absent such provisions. These provisions include a general prohibition on Wag! from soliciting, or, subject to certain exceptions relating to the exercise of fiduciary duties by the Wag! Board, entering into discussions with any third party regarding any acquisition proposal or offers for competing transactions, and a commitment by certain holders of Wag! Capital Stock to vote in favor of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

The Business Combination Agreement contains provisions that may discourage CHW from seeking an alternative business combination.

The Business Combination Agreement and Stockholder Support Agreement contains provisions that prohibit CHW, subject to certain exceptions relating to the exercise of fiduciary duties by the CHW Board, from seeking alternative business combinations during the pendency of the Business Combination. Further, if CHW is unable to obtain the requisite approval of its shareholders, either party may terminate the Business Combination Agreement.

During the pendency of the Business Combination, CHW will not be able to solicit, initiate or take any action to facilitate or encourage any inquiries or the making, submission or announcement of, or enter into a business combination with another party because of restrictions in the Business Combination Agreement.

During the pendency of the Business Combination, CHW will not be able to enter into a business combination with another party because of non-solicitation provisions in the Business Combination Agreement which prohibit CHW from soliciting other business combinations. If the Business Combination is not completed, these non-solicitation provisions will make it more difficult to complete an alternative business combination following the termination of the Business Combination Agreement due to the passage of time during which these provisions remain in effect.

Because CHW is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, in the event the Business Combination is not completed, you may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. Federal courts may be limited.

Because CHW is currently incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, you may face difficulties in protecting your interests and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. Federal courts may be limited prior to the Domestication. CHW is currently an exempted company under the laws of the Cayman Islands. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon CHW’s directors or officers, or enforce judgments obtained in the United States courts against CHW’s directors or officers.

Until the Domestication is effected, CHW’s corporate affairs are governed by the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Cayman Islands Companies Act and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against the directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of its directors to CHW under the laws of the Cayman Islands are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from English common law, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of CHW’s shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of its directors under Cayman Islands law are different from what they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a different body of securities laws as compared to the United States, and certain states, such as Delaware, may have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholders derivative action in a Federal court of the United States.

The courts of the Cayman Islands are unlikely (i) to recognize or enforce against CHW judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state; and (ii) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, to impose liabilities against CHW predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state, so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature. In those circumstances, although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, the courts of the Cayman Islands will recognize and enforce a foreign money judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay the sum for which judgment has been given provided certain conditions are met. For a foreign judgment to be enforced in the Cayman Islands, such judgment must be final and conclusive and for a liquidated sum, and must not be in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty, inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment in respect of the same matter, impeachable on the grounds of fraud or obtained in a manner, or be of a kind the enforcement of which is, contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands (awards of punitive or multiple damages may well be held to be contrary to public policy). A Cayman Islands court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.

The public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by management, members of the CHW Board or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a United States company.

The Domestication may result in adverse tax consequences for holders of CHW ordinary shares and warrants, including public shareholders exercising Redemption Rights.

U.S. holders (as defined in “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Holders” below) of CHW ordinary shares may be subject to U.S. federal income tax as a result of the Domestication. Because the Domestication will occur prior to the redemption of the public shares, U.S. holders exercising Redemption Rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of the Domestication. Additionally, non-U.S. holders may become subject to withholding tax on any dividends paid or deemed paid on New Wag! common stock after the Domestication.

As discussed more fully under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” the Domestication generally should constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Internal

115

Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). However, due to the absence of direct guidance on the application of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code to a statutory conversion of a corporation holding only investment-type assets such as CHW, this result is not entirely clear. Accordingly, due to the absence of direct guidance, it is not possible to predict whether the IRS or a court considering the issue would take a contrary position, and counsel is unable to render a “will” opinion. If the Domestication fails to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, subject to the PFIC rules described in further detail below, a U.S. holder generally would recognize gain or loss with respect to its CHW ordinary shares in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the fair market value of the corresponding shares of New Wag! common stock received in the Domestication and the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its CHW ordinary shares surrendered in exchange therefor. In the case of a transaction that qualifies as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, U.S. holders will be subject to Section 367(b) of the Code and, as a result: a U.S. holder that on the day of the Domestication beneficially owns (actually and constructively) CHW ordinary shares with a fair market value of less than $50,000 on the date of the Domestication, and that, on the date of the Domestication owns (actually and constructively) less than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of CHW stock entitled to vote and less than 10% of the total value of all classes of CHW stock, generally will not recognize any gain or loss and will not be required to include any part of CHW’s earnings in income in respect of the Domestication; and a U.S. holder that on the day of the Domestication beneficially owns (actually and constructively) CHW ordinary shares with a fair market value of $50,000 or more, but less than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of CHW stock entitled to vote and less than 10% or more of the total value of all classes of CHW stock, generally will recognize gain (but not loss) in respect of the Domestication as if such U.S. holder exchanged its CHW ordinary shares and/or CHW warrants for New Wag! common stock and/or New Wag! warrants in a taxable transaction, unless such U.S. holder elects in accordance with applicable Treasury Regulations to include in income as a deemed dividend the “all earnings and profits amount” ​(as defined in the Treasury Regulations under Section 367(b) of the Code) attributable to the CHW ordinary shares held directly by such U.S. holder; however, any such U.S. holder that is a corporation may, under certain circumstances, effectively be exempt from taxation on a portion or all of the deemed dividend pursuant to Section 245A of the Code (commonly referred to as the participation exemption) if the holding period requirement under Section 246 of the Code and certain other requirements are satisfied. However, such participation exemption under Section 245A of the Code will not be available if CHW were treated as a PFIC that is not a “controlled foreign corporation” within the meaning of Section 957 of the Code under the PFIC rules discussed below.

Furthermore, even if the Domestication qualifies as a “reorganization” under the Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, a U.S. holder of CHW ordinary shares or warrants may, in certain circumstances, still recognize gain (but not loss) upon the exchange of its CHW ordinary shares or warrants for New Wag! common stock or New Wag! warrants pursuant to the Domestication under PFIC rules of the Code equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of New Wag! common stock or New Wag! warrants received in the Domestication over the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the corresponding CHW ordinary shares or CHW warrants surrendered in exchange therefor. The tax on any such gain so recognized would be imposed at the rate applicable to ordinary income and an interest charge would apply. For a more complete discussion of the potential application of the PFIC rules to U.S. holders as a result of the Domestication, see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Holders — PFIC Considerations.”

All holders are urged to consult their tax advisor for the tax consequences of the Domestication to their particular situation. For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication, see the discussion in the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

New Wag!’s business and operations could be negatively affected if it becomes subject to any securities litigation or shareholder activism, which could cause New Wag! to incur significant expense, hinder execution of business and growth strategy and impact its stock price.

In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been brought against that company. Shareholder activism, which could take many forms or arise in a variety of situations, has been increasing recently. Volatility in the stock price of New Wag!’s common stock or other reasons may in the future cause it to become the target of securities litigation or shareholder activism. Securities litigation and shareholder activism, including potential proxy contests,

116

could result in substantial costs and divert management’s and the board of directors’ attention and resources from New Wag!’s business. Additionally, such securities litigation and shareholder activism could give rise to perceived uncertainties as to New Wag!’s future, adversely affect its relationships with service providers and make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel. Also, New Wag! may be required to incur significant legal fees and other expenses related to any securities litigation and activist shareholder matters. Further, its stock price could be subject to significant fluctuation or otherwise be adversely affected by the events, risks and uncertainties of any securities litigation and shareholder activism.

In connection with the Business Combination, the Sponsor, and CHW’s directors, executive officers, advisors and their affiliates may elect to purchase shares or public warrants from public shareholders, which may influence a vote on a proposed business combination and reduce the public “float” of our ordinary shares.

In connection with the Business Combination, the Sponsor and the directors, executive officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase shares or public warrants in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of our initial business combination, although they are under no obligation to do so. There is no limit on the number of public shares the Sponsor, CHW’s directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates may purchase in such transactions, subject to compliance with applicable law and the rules of Nasdaq. Any such privately negotiated purchases may be effected at purchase prices that are not higher than the per share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. However, other than as expressly stated herein, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. None of the funds in the Trust Account will be used to purchase shares or public warrants in such transactions. None of the Sponsor or CHW’s directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates will make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller of such public shares or during a restricted period under Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Such a purchase could include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record holder of such public shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. Such purchased shares will not be voted in favor of the Business Combination.

In the event that the Sponsor and the directors, executive officers, advisors or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from public shareholders who have already elected to exercise their Redemption Rights, such selling shareholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of any such purchases of shares would be to satisfy the Minimum Cash Condition, where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met. The purpose of any such purchases of public warrants would be to reduce the number of public warrants outstanding or to vote such warrants on any matters submitted to the warrant holders for approval in connection with our initial business combination. Any such purchases of our securities may result in the completion of our initial business combination that may not otherwise have been possible. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements. CHW will file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC to disclose, among other things, private arrangements entered into or significant private purchases made by any of CHW’s Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates that would affect the vote on the Business Combination Proposal or other proposals.

In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of our ordinary shares or public warrants and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange.

There is no guarantee that a CHW public shareholder’s decision whether to redeem its shares of CHW’s common stock for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account will put such shareholder in a better future economic position.

We cannot assure you as to the price at which a public shareholder may be able to sell the shares of New Wag! common stock in the future following the completion of the Business Combination. Certain events following the consummation of any business combination, including the Business Combination, may cause an increase in the New Wag! stock price, and may result in a lower value realized now than a CHW shareholder might realize in the future had the shareholder not elected to redeem such shareholder’s public

117

shares. Similarly, if a CHW public shareholder does not redeem his, her, or its shares, such shareholder will bear the risk of ownership of New Wag! common stock after the consummation of the Business Combination, and there can be no assurance that a shareholder can sell his, her, or its shares of New Wag! common stock in the future for a greater amount than the redemption price set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. A CHW public shareholder should consult his, her, or its own tax or financial advisor for assistance on how this may affect its individual situation.

If CHW public shareholders fail to comply with the redemption requirements specified in this proxy statement/​prospectus, they will not be entitled to redeem their public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account.

CHW intends to comply with the U.S. federal proxy rules when conducting redemptions in connection with the Business Combination. However, despite CHW’s compliance with these rules, if a CHW shareholder fails to receive CHW’s proxy materials, such shareholder may not become aware of the opportunity to redeem its CHW ordinary shares. In addition, the proxy materials that CHW will furnish to holders of public shares in connection with the Business Combination will describe the various procedures that must be complied with in order to validly tender or redeem public shares. In the event that a public shareholder fails to comply with these or any other procedures, its public shares may not be redeemed.

In order to exercise their redemption rights, public shareholders are required to deliver their public shares, either physically or electronically using the Depository Trust Company’s DWAC System, to CHW’s transfer agent prior to the vote at the Special Meeting. If a public shareholder properly seeks redemption as described in this proxy statement/prospectus and the Business Combination with Wag! is consummated, CHW will redeem these public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds deposited in the Trust Account and the public shareholder will no longer own such public shares following the Business Combination. See the section entitled “Special Meeting of Shareholders — Redemption Rights” for additional information on how to exercise your redemption rights.

If you or a “group” of shareholders are deemed to hold in excess of 15% of our ordinary shares, you will lose the ability to redeem all such shares in excess of 15% of our ordinary shares.

The Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of CHW provide that 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 Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking Redemption Rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares sold in the IPO without our prior consent, which we refer to as the “Excess Shares.” However, we would not be restricting our shareholders’ ability to vote all of their shares (including Excess Shares) for or against the Business Combination. Your inability to redeem the Excess Shares will reduce your influence over our ability to complete the Business Combination and you could suffer a material loss on your investment in us if you sell Excess Shares in open market transactions. Additionally, you will not receive redemption distributions with respect to the Excess Shares if we complete the Business Combination. As a result, you will continue to hold that number of shares exceeding 15% and, in order to dispose of such shares, would be required to sell your shares in open market transactions, potentially at a loss.

Wag! stockholders will have their rights as stockholders governed by the organizational documents of New Wag!.

As a result of the completion of the Business Combination, holders of shares of Wag! common stock and preferred stock will become holders of shares of New Wag! common stock, which will be governed by the organizational documents of New Wag!. As a result, there will be differences between the rights currently enjoyed by Wag! stockholders and the rights of those stockholders who become New Wag! stockholders. See “Comparison of Stockholders’ Rights”.

If third parties bring claims against CHW, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by CHW shareholders may be less than $10.00 per share.

The deposit of funds in the Trust Account by CHW may not protect those funds from third-party claims against CHW. Although CHW has sought to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target

118

businesses, and other entities with which it does business execute agreements with CHW waiving any right, title, interest, or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of the CHW public shareholders, such parties may not execute such agreements, or even if they execute such agreements they may not be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account, including, but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility, or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage with respect to a claim against CHW’s assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, CHW’s management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will only enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver if management believes that such third party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to CHW than any alternative. Making such a request of potential target businesses may make CHW’s acquisition proposal less attractive to them and, to the extent prospective target businesses refuse to execute such a waiver, it may limit the field of potential target businesses that CHW might pursue.

Examples of possible instances where CHW may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third-party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts, or agreements with CHW and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason.

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to CHW for any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to CHW, or by a prospective target business with which CHW has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.00 per share or (ii) such lesser amount per share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account resulting from reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case, net of the amount of interest that may be withdrawn to pay taxes. This liability will not apply to claims by a third party that executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the funds in the Trust Account and except as to any claims under CHW’s indemnity of the underwriters of the CHW IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, if an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, then the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. CHW has not independently verified whether the Sponsor, which is a newly formed entity, has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of CHW. CHW has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations.

Therefore, CHW cannot assure you that the Sponsor would be able to comply with those obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available for CHW’s initial business combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.00 per public share. In such event, CHW may not be able to complete its initial business combination, and CHW shareholders would receive such lesser amount per public share in connection with any redemption of their public shares. None of CHW’s officers will indemnify CHW for claims by third parties, including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

Our directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of the Sponsor, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to our public shareholders.

In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per share and (ii) the actual amount per share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case less taxes payable, and the Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While we currently expect that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their business judgment and subject to their fiduciary duties may choose not to do so in any particular instance. If our independent directors choose not to enforce these indemnification obligations, the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to our public shareholders may be reduced below $10.00 per share.

119

We may not have sufficient funds to satisfy indemnification claims of our directors and executive officers.

We agreed to indemnify our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law. However, our officers and directors agreed to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account and to not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever (except to the extent they are entitled to funds from the Trust Account due to their ownership of public shares).

Accordingly, any indemnification provided will be able to be satisfied by us only if (i) we have sufficient funds outside of the Trust Account or (ii) we consummate an initial business combination (which shall be the Business Combination should it occur). Our obligation to indemnify our officers and directors may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against our officers or directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our shareholders. Furthermore, a shareholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against our officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

If, after we distribute the proceeds in the Trust Account to our public shareholders, we file a bankruptcy or winding-up petition or an involuntary or winding-up bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy court may seek to recover such proceeds, and the members of our board of directors may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to our creditors, thereby exposing the members of our board of directors and us to claims of punitive damages.

If, after we distribute the proceeds in the Trust Account to our public shareholders, we file a bankruptcy or winding-up petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or winding-up petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy or insolvency laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by our shareholders. In addition, our board of directors may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to our creditors and/or having acted in bad faith, thereby exposing itself and us to claims of punitive damages, by paying public shareholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to our public shareholders, we file a bankruptcy or winding-up petition or an involuntary or winding-up bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of our shareholders and the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by our shareholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to our public shareholders, we file a bankruptcy or winding-up petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or winding-up petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our shareholders. To the extent any bankruptcy or insolvency claims deplete the Trust Account, the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by our shareholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.

You may only be able to exercise your public warrants on a “cashless basis” under certain circumstances, and if you do so, you will receive fewer common stock from such exercise than if you were to exercise such warrants for cash.

The warrant agreement provides that in the following circumstances holders of warrants who seek to exercise their warrants will not be permitted to do so for cash and will, instead, be required to do so on a cashless basis in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act: (i) if the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants are not registered under the Securities Act in accordance with the terms of the warrant agreement; (ii) if we have so elected and the common stock are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of “covered securities” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act; and (iii) if we have so elected and we call the public warrants for redemption. If you exercise your public warrants on a cashless basis, you would pay the warrant exercise

120

price by surrendering all of the warrants for that number of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” of our common stock (as defined in the next sentence) over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” is the average reported last sale price of the common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received by the warrant agent or on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants, as applicable. As a result, you would receive fewer shares of common stock from such exercise than if you were to exercise such warrants for cash.

The grant of registration rights to certain holders, including pursuant to the PIPE and Backstop Subscription Agreement, and the future exercise of such rights may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Upon the completion of the Business Combination, the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement will be entered into by and among New Wag! and certain other parties thereto, replacing CHW’s existing registration rights agreement. The Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement in substantially the form it will be executed in connection with the Closing is attached to this proxy statement/​prospectus as Annex D. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, the Holders, and their permitted transferees and assigns will have customary registration rights (including demand, shelf and piggy-back rights, subject to cooperation and cut-back provisions) with respect to their shares of common stock, other than the Backstop Shares. Further, pursuant to the PIPE and Backstop Subscription Agreement, we agreed that we will use commercially reasonable best efforts (i) to file within 30 days after the closing of the Business Combination a registration statement with the SEC for, in the case of the PIPE and Backstop Investment, a secondary offering of the PIPE and Backstop Securities (ii) to cause such registration statement to be declared effective promptly thereafter and (iii) to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement until such time as there are no longer any registrable securities outstanding. In addition, the PIPE and Backstop Subscription Agreement provides that these holders will have certain “piggy-back” registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed by us. We will bear the cost of registering these securities. The registration and availability of such a significant number of securities for trading in the public market may have an adverse effect on the market price of the common stock of New Wag!.

The provisions of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association that relate to the rights of holders of our ordinary shares (and corresponding provisions of the agreement governing the release of funds from our Trust Account) may be amended with the approval of holders of at least two-thirds of our ordinary shares who attend and vote at a general meeting of CHW, which is a lower amendment threshold than that of some other blank check companies. It may be easier for us, therefore, to amend the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to facilitate the completion of the Business Combination that some of our shareholders may not support.

Some other blank check companies have a provision in their charter which prohibits the amendment of certain of its provisions, including those which relate to the rights of a company’s shareholders, without approval by a certain percentage of the company’s shareholders. In those companies, amendment of these provisions typically requires approval by between 90% and 100% of the company’s shareholders. The Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that any of its provisions related to the rights of holders of our ordinary shares (including the requirement to deposit proceeds of the IPO and the Private Placement of Warrants into the Trust Account and not release such amounts except in specified circumstances, and to provide Redemption Rights to public shareholders as described herein) may be amended if approved by special resolution, meaning holders of at least two-thirds of our ordinary shares who attend and vote at a general meeting of CHW, and corresponding provisions of the trust agreement governing the release of funds from our Trust Account may be amended if approved by holders of 65% of our ordinary shares; provided that the provisions of our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association governing the appointment or removal of directors prior to our initial business combination may only be amended by a special resolution passed by not less than two-thirds of our ordinary shares who attend and vote at our general meeting. CHW’s Sponsor and its permitted transferees, if any, who collectively beneficially owned 15% of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares, will participate in any vote to amend the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and/or trust agreement and will have the discretion to vote in any manner they choose. As a result, we may be able to amend the provisions

121

of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association which govern our pre-Business Combination actions more easily than some other special purpose acquisition companies, and this may increase our ability to complete the Business Combination with which you may not agree. Our shareholders may pursue remedies against us for any breach of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association.

Sponsor, executive officers and directors agreed, pursuant to agreements with us, that they will not propose any amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide for the redemption of our ordinary shares in connection with the Business Combination or to redeem 100% of our ordinary shares if we do not complete the Business Combination within 15 months from the closing of the IPO or with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of our ordinary shares, unless we provide our public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their ordinary 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 funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our income taxes, if any, divided by the number of then outstanding ordinary shares. Our shareholders are not parties to, or third-party beneficiaries of, these agreements and, as a result, will not have the ability to pursue remedies against Sponsor, executive officers or directors for any breach of these agreements. As a result, in the event of a breach, our shareholders would need to pursue a shareholder derivative action, subject to applicable law.

We may amend the terms of the warrants in a manner that may be adverse to holders of public warrants with the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding public warrants. As a result, the exercise price of the warrants could be increased, the exercise period could be shortened and the number of ordinary shares purchasable upon exercise of a warrant could be decreased, all without approval of each warrant affected.

Our warrants were issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between VStock Transfer LLC, as warrant agent, and us. The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding public warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of public warrants. Accordingly, we may amend the terms of the public warrants in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding public warrants approve of such amendment. Although our ability to amend the terms of the public warrants with the consent of at least 50% of the then outstanding public warrants is unlimited, examples of such amendments could be amendments to, among other things, increase the exercise price of the warrants, convert the warrants into cash, shorten the exercise period or decrease the number of shares of common stock, as applicable, purchasable upon exercise of a warrant.

We may redeem unexpired warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to holders of warrants, thereby making such warrants worthless.

We have the ability to redeem outstanding warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per warrant, provided that the last sale price of our ordinary shares or common stock, as applicable, equals or exceeds $16.50 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which we send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. We will not redeem the warrants unless an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the ordinary shares or common stock, as applicable, issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those ordinary shares or common stock, as applicable, is available throughout the 30-day redemption period, except if the warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act. If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, we may not exercise our redemption right if the issuance of shares upon the exercise of the warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or we are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. Redemption of the outstanding warrants could force holders thereof to (i) exercise warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous for such holder to do so, (ii) sell warrants at the then-current market price when such holder might otherwise wish to hold warrants or (iii) accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of such warrants.

122

Our warrants may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.

We issued warrants to purchase 12,500,000 of our ordinary shares as part of the units offered in the IPO and, simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we issued in a private placement an aggregate of 4,238,636 private placement warrants, each exercisable to purchase one ordinary share at $11.50 per share. Upon the Domestication, the warrants will entitle the holders to purchase shares of common stock of New Wag!. Such warrants, when exercised, will increase the number of issued and outstanding common stock and reduce the value of the common stock.

Compliance obligations under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may make it more difficult for us to effectuate the Business Combination, require substantial financial and management resources, and increase the time and costs of completing an acquisition.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we evaluate and report on our system of internal controls beginning with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2022. Only in the event we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer or an accelerated filer and no longer qualify as an emerging growth company will we be required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirement on our internal control over financial reporting. Further, for as long as we remain an emerging growth company, we will not be required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirement on our internal control over financial reporting. Following the Business Combination, we will be required to assure that we are in compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding adequacy of our internal controls. The development of the internal control system to achieve compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may increase the time and costs necessary to complete the Business Combination as well as impose obligations on New Wag! following the Business Combination.

Public shareholders who redeem their shares of CHW Ordinary Shares may continue to hold any public warrants they own, which results in additional dilution to non-redeeming holders upon exercise of the public warrants.

Public shareholders who redeem their shares may continue to hold any public warrants they owned prior to redemption, which results in additional dilution to non-redeeming holders upon exercise of such public warrants. Assuming (i) all redeeming public shareholders acquired units in the IPO and continue to hold the public warrants that were included in the units, and (ii) maximum redemptions of the ordinary shares held by the redeeming public shareholders, 12,500,000 public warrants would be retained by redeeming public shareholders with a value of $2,250,000, based on the market price of $0.18 of the public warrants as of June 28, 2022. As a result, the redeeming public shareholders would recoup their entire investment and continue to hold public warrants with an aggregate market value of $2,250,000, while non-redeeming public shareholders would suffer additional dilution in their percentage ownership and voting interest in New Wag! upon exercise of the public warrants held by redeeming public shareholders.

The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”) or other regulatory agencies may modify, delay or prevent our Business Combination.

CFIUS has authority to review direct or indirect investments whereby a foreign person acquires “control” over or, for more sensitive businesses involving critical technology, critical infrastructure, and sensitive personal data, certain types of non-controlling rights in U.S. businesses. Some transactions within the jurisdiction of CFIUS trigger a mandatory CFIUS filing requirement. Otherwise, notifying CFIUS of a transaction within its jurisdiction is voluntary. CFIUS can reach out to parties to transactions within its jurisdiction that did not notify CFIUS and request that the parties submit a CFIUS notice and can self-initiate national security reviews. If CFIUS identifies national security concerns in connection with its review of an investment, CFIUS has the power to impose measures to mitigate such concerns and, in extreme cases, require the foreign person to divest of the investment. Whether CFIUS has jurisdiction to review an acquisition or investment transaction depends on, among other factors, whether the investor/acquiror of the U.S. business is a “foreign person” or ‘‘foreign entity,” the nature and structure of the transaction, the level of beneficial ownership interest being acquired, and the nature of any information or governance rights acquired by the foreign investor. The Chairman of our Board is a non-U.S. person and an investor with 6.7% beneficial ownership interest in CHW is incorporated in Ontario, Canada, and an officer of Wag! and an officer of a Wag! subsidiary are non-U.S. persons as well. In addition, CHW currently is incorporated in the

123

Cayman Islands, but prior to the acquisition of the U.S. business, Wag!, CHW will change its jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware. At that time, prior to the acquisition of the U.S. business, we do not believe that CHW will be a “foreign entity” under the CFIUS regulations, but we cannot predict whether CFIUS would treat CHW as a foreign person/entity or whether CFIUS would consider the Business Combination, including the Domestication and/or acquisition, as a covered transaction.

The Business Combination may be subject to CFIUS review, depending on the ultimate share ownership of New Wag! following the Business Combination and other factors. If so, given the nature of Wag!’s business, we think the risk that the Business Combination will trigger a mandatory CFIUS filing is low and that the Business Combination otherwise does not raise sensitive national security concerns. As such, in those circumstances, we may determine to proceed with the transaction without notifying CFIUS and risk CFIUS intervention before or after closing the transaction. The time necessary for CFIUS review of the transaction or a decision to delay or prohibit the transaction may prevent the Business Combination from occurring within the applicable time period required under CHW’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. If we are unable to consummate our Business Combination within the applicable time period required under the CHW’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, we will be required to wind up, redeem and liquidate. In such event, our shareholders will miss the opportunity to benefit from an investment in a target company and the appreciation in value of such investment through the Business Combination. Additionally, there will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up.

THE BUSINESS COMBINATION AGREEMENT

This section describes the material provisions of the Business Combination Agreement and certain additional agreements entered into or to be entered into at Closing pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (the “Related Agreements”) but does not purport to describe all of the terms thereof or include all of the additional agreements entered into or to be entered into pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Business Combination Agreement and each of the Related Agreements. Shareholders and other interested parties are urged to read the Business Combination Agreement and such Related Agreements in their entirety.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Business Combination Agreement.

Explanatory Note Regarding the Business Combination Agreement

The Business Combination Agreement and this summary are included to provide you with information regarding the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. The Business Combination Agreement contains representations and warranties by CHW and Wag!. The representations, warranties and covenants made in the Business Combination Agreement by CHW and Wag! were qualified and subject to important limitations agreed to by CHW and Wag! in connection with negotiating the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. In particular, in your review of the representations and warranties contained in the Business Combination Agreement and described in this summary, it is important to bear in mind that the representations and warranties were negotiated with the principal purpose of establishing circumstances in which a party to the Business Combination Agreement may have the right not to consummate the Business Combination if the representations and warranties of the other party were to be untrue due to a change in circumstance or otherwise, and allocating risk between the parties to the Business Combination Agreement, rather than establishing or attempting to set forth matters as facts. The representations and warranties also may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to shareholders and reports and documents filed with the SEC and some representations, warranties and covenants were qualified by the matters contained in the confidential disclosure letters that CHW and Wag! each delivered in connection with the Business Combination Agreement and certain documents filed with the SEC. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties, which do not purport to be accurate as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, may have changed since the date of the Business Combination Agreement.

For the foregoing reasons, the representations and warranties or any descriptions of those provisions should not be read alone or relied upon as presenting the actual state of facts or condition of CHW or Wag!, or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Instead, such provisions or descriptions should be read only in conjunction with the other information provided elsewhere in this document or incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus. Please see the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information.”

CHW will provide additional disclosures in its public reports to the extent it is aware of the existence of any material facts that are required to be disclosed under federal securities laws and that might otherwise contradict the terms and information contained in the Business Combination Agreement and will update such disclosure as required by federal securities laws.

Background of the Business Combination

The terms of the Business Combination Agreement are the result of negotiations between the representatives of CHW and Wag!. The following chronology summarizes the key meetings and events that led to the signing of the Business Combination Agreement. This chronology does not purport to catalogue every conversation or correspondence among representatives of CHW, Wag!, their respective representatives or any other party.

CHW is a blank check company incorporated on January 12, 2021 as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. CHW focused its search on the consumer sector and consumer-related businesses, which complements the expertise of its officers, directors, and advisors.

On September 1, 2021, CHW consummated its IPO of 12,500,000 units, including 1,500,000 units issued pursuant to the partial exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option. Each unit consists of one ordinary share and one redeemable warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, resulting in gross proceeds of $125,000,000. Concurrently with the completion of CHW’s initial public offering, CHW consummated a private placement of an aggregate of 4,238,636 warrants, each exercisable to purchase one ordinary share at $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, at a price of $1.00 per warrant. Of the proceeds received from the consummation of the IPO and the simultaneous private placement of warrants, $125,000,000 was placed in CHW’s trust account.

Prior to the consummation of the IPO, neither CHW, nor anyone on its behalf, had any substantive discussions, formal or otherwise, with respect to a potential business combination transaction with CHW.

127

As discussed herein, after the completion of CHW’s IPO, CHW’s management began to seek potential candidates for a business combination. In addition, CHW was contacted by a number of individuals and entities with respect to potential business combination opportunities. During the course of this search process, representatives of CHW regularly updated and received input from members of CHW’s board of directors, certain of whom were regular participants in the ongoing meetings and discussions with representatives of several potential target opportunities, on the status of the search process.

CHW’s management team was led by Jonah Raskas, Mark Grundman and Paul Norman, the former President of Kellogg’s North America. The CHW team was formed to be a collective team experienced in capital market and buy-side investments, with significant operational experience across the consumer and retail sectors. Messrs. Grundman and Raskas, co-sponsors, felt the SPAC industry was missing a team that had both investing experience and operational experience. This was important to them as they built out the CHW team and they believed the team’s combination of experiences would be an important strategic advantage in the market. Additionally, they felt their sizing of sub-$150 million would be an advantage as many SPACs over the past two years had raised significantly more capital but offered more dilution for SPAC targets.

In evaluating potential business combination opportunities, the CHW team focused on a number of specific attributes. The management team sought out companies that had (i) a high growth rate, (ii) sector or product leadership, (iii) a competitive advantage of some level, (iv) a scalable platform with public company readiness, and (v) a highly driven and experienced management team. These criteria are not intended to be exhaustive.

The first company that CHW reviewed was an e-commerce company with an online marketplace selling discounted goods. The potential target company was growing very quickly but CHW’s management team found it difficult to determine when profitability would materialize. The CHW management team also felt the potential target company was too early in the growth stage for a SPAC IPO and determined to pursue other opportunities. These discussions occurred on September 3, 2021.

The second company CHW reviewed on September 3, 2021 was a food-focused corporation. The potential target company’s management team had a strong skill set and the CHW team felt they would do well in the public markets. However, CHW’s management determined that the potential target company’s product was too focused on a specific niche area of the market and felt the upside and total addressable market (TAM) in the potential target company’s industry was too small for the public markets.

On September 9, 2021, representatives of CHW met with representatives of a business that was focused on the overall spirits industry in Europe. The potential target business was a combination of brands, had large and stable revenue and its management was interested in going public to continue growing their portfolio of brands. The CHW team passed on the opportunity as they felt the brands were not sufficiently well recognized in the market and the long-term profit expectation for the overall company was smaller than the CHW team had hoped for a target business.

On September 9, 2021, representatives of CHW also met with representatives of a business in the overall health and wellness sector focused on a business solution around optimizing a consumer’s DNA. The CHW management team felt this business was too early-stage for a merger candidate and would not be well-received in the market.

On September 9, 2021, CHW reviewed a potential spinoff opportunity from a currently listed public company. The CHW team was interested in the overall opportunity but felt that the publicly listed company would take too long to complete the spinoff of the business. The CHW team passed on the opportunity.

On September 10, 2021, representatives of CHW met with representatives of a lead generation business opportunity. CHW’s representatives were impressed with the background and experience of the potential target company’s management and management’s focus and the operating results from the business. CHW decided to pursue this opportunity and started working on a letter of intent after reviewing the projections and future opportunities of this particular business.

During the week of September 12, 2021, the CHW management team had another two meetings with the lead generation business and focused on a deeper understanding of the potential target company’s overall business. The CHW team shared with the potential target company an initial draft of a letter of intent CHW had created with its legal team. Ultimately, CHW’s management did not finalize the letter of intent

128

or sign an exclusivity agreement as they felt the target’s valuation of its business was too high and would be met with resistance from investors and the overall public markets. A significant portion of the potential target company’s valuation was based on future revenue that would come about from acquisitions which CHW’s management determined was too speculative to support the valuation.

During the week of September 19, 2021, the CHW management team was introduced to an e-commerce business focused on delivering a product connected to the floral industry. The potential target company’s management and business were impressive but the CHW team felt that the company was not ready for the public markets.

Also during the week of September 19, 2021, the CHW team reached out to a shipping and transportation business which was represented by Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. (“Oppenheimer”). The CHW team met several times with the potential target company’s management but ultimately found that the valuation was too high.

Representatives of Oppenheimer, in their capacity as financial advisor to Wag!, introduced Wag!’s business to CHW’s management team. Shortly thereafter, Oppenheimer felt that CHW management’s understanding of the markets and operator-led team would be a good match for Wag!.

On September 22, 2021, CHW executed a non-disclosure agreement with Wag! to facilitate due diligence review of confidential materials. The first call between CHW’s and Wag!’s respective management teams took place on September 24, 2021. The CHW team, represented by Messrs. Grundman, Raskas and Norman, were impressed with the overall pet industry, Wag!’s management, the future opportunities and the market reception that they felt Wag!’s business could receive if Wag! went public.

Around September 24, 2021, in order to enable CHW to conduct its due diligence review, CHW and certain of its advisors, including CHW’s counsel, Reed Smith LLP (“Reed Smith”), were granted access to a digital data room that included confidential information regarding the business and operations of Wag! (the “Data Room”). The CHW team worked throughout the weekend of September 24, 2021 to dive deeper into Wag!’s business model and the future opportunities. The CHW team looked closely at the financial projections, past history of the business, potential risks and potential issues.

Around September 26, 2021, the CHW team started working on an initial draft of a letter of intent to submit to Wag!’s management team and Oppenheimer, which was representing Wag! as financial advisor.

During the week of September 26, 2021, Messrs. Grundman, Raskas and Norman of CHW held several meetings internally to discuss Wag!’s overall business, financial projections, valuation and future outlook.

Initial calls regarding the draft letter of intent were held between Messrs. Grundman and Raskas of CHW and Oppenheimer. During these initial conversations, Oppenheimer provided guidance on a number of transaction terms including valuation, earnout percentages, board seats, and potential forfeiture percentages. Messrs. Grundman and Raskas also had conversations regarding valuation with CHW’s senior analyst, Jethro Solomon, and discussed earnout, board composition and forfeiture terms. CHW had its senior analyst, Jethro Solomon, conduct a study of the comparable companies in Wag!’s market and alternative ways to look at valuation. Additionally, CHW worked with Chardan, the underwriter in CHW’s initial public offering, to get their understanding of Wag! and comparable companies in the marketplace. CHW later engaged Chardan to act as its lead financial advisor and capital markets advisor; however, no fees were payable to Chardan in such capacity.

On October 1, 2021, a meeting was held between representatives of CHW and representatives of Wag!. CHW’s representatives included M. Carl Johnson, III and Messrs. Grundman, Raskas, and Norman, and Wag!’s representatives included Garrett Smallwood, Adam Storm, and Alec Davidian. Additionally, CHW’s senior analyst, Jethro Solomon, was present to meet with and get to know Wag!’s management. The meeting served as an opportunity for CHW representatives to meet with and ask questions of Wag!’s management as part of its due diligence of Wag!.

On the same day, CHW circulated to Wag! an initial draft non-binding term sheet. The initial draft term sheet included a preliminary pre-money valuation of $400 million, a figure CHW believed to be reasonable based on both trailing and forward revenue figures from comparable pet and on-demand industry public companies, as well as recent pet industry SPAC transactions and take-private transactions. The

129

initial draft term sheet contemplated that CHW and Wag! would enter into a business combination agreement pursuant to which CHW would acquire 100% of the outstanding equity and equity equivalents of Wag! in exchange for the issuance of 40,000,000 shares of common stock (or other securities) of the surviving company. The initial draft term sheet included no secondary cash component. The initial draft term sheet contemplated an earn-out or alternative incentive structure but did not specify terms. The initial draft term sheet provided for CHW’s ability to designate at least three board seats so long as such number is less than a majority of the board, and a minimum closing cash condition of $125 million (inclusive of PIPE investments, trust account disbursements, backstop arrangements and other alternative funding mechanisms). Furthermore, the initial draft term sheet estimated CHW transaction expenses at approximately $25 million and contemplated a 30-day exclusivity period between the parties beginning on the date of the executed term sheet.

At this time, CHW expressed a desire to get more comfortable during the due diligence process with Wag!’s forecasted revenue of about $78 million for the 2023 fiscal year.

During the week of October 3, 2021, Messrs. Grundman and Raskas of CHW and Oppenheimer held several phone calls whereby they discussed the letter of intent proposal and challenges that CHW’s management and board of directors identified regarding Wag!. Oppenheimer communicated that there were multiple SPACs considering a potential business combination with Wag!, but Wag!’s management and board of directors were most interested in the CHW team. On these calls, CHW’s representatives and Oppenheimer’s representatives discussed the valuation, the Sponsor forfeiture structure, number of directors to be designated by CHW and final thoughts around the total cash CHW would aim to raise in a PIPE investment. Specifically, Oppenheimer’s representatives indicated Wag!’s position that CHW board designation rights be reduced to one director, that Wag!’s stockholders receive an earnout of 15 million shares of New Wag! common stock, and that up to 1/3 of the Sponsor’s shares of New Wag! be subject to forfeiture.

During the same week, based on CHW’s analysis of comparable companies in the public market (including Rover), further review into Wag!’s 2022 and 2023 estimated revenue projections and further discussions between Messrs. Grundman and Raskas, on the one hand, and Messrs. Smallwood and Storm, on the other, regarding growth assumptions and the new business lines that Wag! had recently expanded into (i.e., wellness, insurance), CHW determined that $350 million was an appropriate valuation to offer for Wag!.

On October 5, 2021, a revised draft term sheet that reflected the $350 million valuation and estimated transaction expenses and that specified a Sponsor earnout structure was circulated. Further, in the letter of intent accompanying the October 5, 2021 revised draft term sheet, CHW indicated that it would accept the earnout to the Wag! equityholders of 15 million shares of New Wag! common stock and be willing to reduce the number of directors to be designated by CHW from three to one, but that CHW would require the ability to designate two board observers and that the maximum number of shares of New Wag! common stock to be subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor be 10% of the shares of New Wag! held by the Sponsor immediately following the Closing. Further, in this iteration of the draft term sheet, CHW estimated CHW’s transaction expenses to be approximately $13 million, subject to change.

On October 8, 2021, following further telephone conversations with Oppenheimer and Wag! management, CHW circulated a revised draft non-binding term sheet. At this time, CHW communicated that they were aligned with Wag!’s request for a super majority board voting right, given no significant resistance from potential PIPE investors. CHW also agreed at this time to compromise on the number of Founder Shares subject to earn-out forfeiture at 360,750 shares (or 15% of the Founder Shares held by the Sponsor). CHW revised its proposal with respect to the amount for the PIPE investment, targeting $75 million in PIPE financing, subject to a potential increase in the case of sufficient investor interest.

On October 17, 2021, Oppenheimer on behalf of Wag! circulated a revised draft non-binding term sheet. The revised term sheet specified that the shares held by the Sponsor would be subject to a three-year lock-up and proposed to increase the length of the exclusivity period to 45 days.

On October 18, 2021, CHW agreed to continue discussions on the basis of Oppenheimer’s proposed changes to the draft term sheet.

From October 3, 2021 to October 16, 2021, the CHW team continued to do due diligence by reviewing the files in the Data Room and having discussions with its board members and analysts.

130

On October 18, 2021, CHW held a board meeting and Messrs. Grundman and Raskas presented a full overview of the potential transaction with Wag!, including the pros and cons of the opportunity. The CHW directors present at the meeting were Messrs. Grundman and Raskas, Victor Herrero, Deborah Weinswig, Gary Tickle, M. Carl Johnson, III, Debra Benovitz and Jason Reiser. Mr. Johnson presented his positive views on the opportunity based on his experience in the pet food industry. CHW’s management stated that they felt the potential transaction with Wag! presented an exciting opportunity and recommended that CHW sign a 45-day exclusive letter of intent with Wag!. CHW management asked the board members to review the company presentation and share any questions, which were then forwarded to Wag!’s management.

On October 19, 2021, CHW and Wag! executed a non-binding term sheet (the “Term Sheet”), which contemplated, among other things, (i) the financial terms of the transaction, including a $350 million enterprise value on a cash-free and debt-free basis and a proposed earnout to Wag! equityholders of 15 million shares of New Wag!, (ii) the anticipated pro forma ownership of New Wag!, (iii) the transaction structure of the business combination, (iv) certain governance matters of New Wag!, including CHW’s ability to designate one director of New Wag! and two board observers, (v) entry into a PIPE financing of at least $75 million but with a target of $125 million, at a price of $10.00 per share, which would be committed upon signing of the Business Combination Agreement, (vi) forfeiture by the Sponsor of up to 360,750 shares of New Wag! held by the Sponsor, representing 15% of the shares of New Wag! to be held by the Sponsor immediately following the Closing, subject to certain share price thresholds post-Closing, (vii) CHW and Wag! each paying their respective fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Term Sheet and the Business Combination Agreement and, subject to consummation of the business combination, all fees and expenses of CHW and Wag! being paid by New Wag! without reduction to the transaction consideration, provided that CHW’s fees and expenses do not exceed $13 million and (viii) a binding 45-day exclusivity provision. The issuance of shares of common stock of New Wag! as the form of consideration to be paid to Wag! stockholders was included in CHW’s initial draft of the term sheet and the executed Term Sheet and was accepted in principle by Wag!.

From October 20, 2021 to October 23, 2021, the CHW management team interviewed audit and accounting firms to perform a quality of earnings due diligence report and focus on reviewing Wag!’s financial forecast.

On October 23, 2021, Wag! responded to the first list of questions from the CHW board of directors.

During the week of October 24, 2021, the CHW team continued discussions with external partners around due diligence and worked on finalizing a partner to perform a quality of earnings review and to review the forecast model that Wag! had provided to CHW. CHW’s management team ultimately selected Ernst & Young (“E&Y”) to lead due diligence concerning Wag!’s earnings and future forecast. CHW’s management also forwarded to Wag! follow up questions from the CHW board of directors.

On October 28, 2021, Wag! responded to the second list of questions from the CHW board of directors.

During the week of October 31, 2021, representatives of CHW, Oppenheimer and Wag! prepared materials and talking points to begin meeting with investors. The teams researched and reviewed other public companies in the market, in addition to Rover, that could be compared to Wag!. Additionally, the teams focused on increasing the focus on the Wag! wellness business, which was expanding quickly and which the team thought would garner significant interest from the PIPE investors.

On November 8, 2021, Rover reported its earnings, which were very well received in the market. Given Rover’s earnings report, representatives from CHW, Wag! and Oppenheimer felt that their proposed business transaction would be similarly well received in the market and with PIPE investors.

On November 10, 2021, CHW and Oppenheimer entered into an engagement letter, pursuant to which Oppenheimer will serve as placement agent. The fee payable to Oppenheimer by CHW will be equal to the sum of (i) 6.0% of the portion of gross proceeds up to and including $50 million and (ii) 4.0% of the portion of gross proceeds in excess of $50 million.

On November 11, 2021, CHW circulated a draft of an Amended and Restated Term Sheet, which proposed to decrease the minimum cash condition from $75 million to $50 million.

During the period from November 11, 2021 through December 14, 2021, Oppenheimer led a PIPE investment process where its representatives went out to investors from Oppenheimer’s network and CHW’s

131

network to raise capital in connection with the potential business combination. CHW received several offers of $30 million or more from this process, in the form of equity financing, but ultimately determined these offers were not in the best interest of CHW’s investors and the best long-term interests of CHW. CHW did not accept such PIPE offers for the following reasons: (i) CHW felt such PIPE offers would have a detrimental effect on the price of CHW’s securities, as they would result in selling additional shares in order to repay the PIPE investors; (ii) such PIPE offers would result in additional dilution for CHW’s shareholders; and (iii) overall, CHW believed that the post-combination company would be better served by taking on traditional lender-based financing, as opposed to a dilutive equity financing, which would be less dilutive and more favorable for the stock price over the long term. Pursuant to the engagement letter between CHW and Oppenheimer, based on the size of the $30 million Credit Facility and $5.0 million PIPE and Backstop Investment, the fee payable at closing by CHW to Oppenheimer as placement agent will be equal to $2.1 million.

On November 11, 2021, representatives of Reed Smith provided Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP (“Cleary”), counsel to Wag!, an initial draft of the form of PIPE Subscription Agreement.

On November 16, 2021, Reed Smith provided Cleary with an initial draft of the Business Combination Agreement.

On November 19, 2021, Cleary provided Reed Smith with a revised draft of the form of PIPE Subscription Agreement. The revised draft included (i) a subscriber acknowledgment that certain information provided by the CHW is based on projections, and such projections were prepared based on assumptions and estimates that are inherently uncertain and subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially; (ii) a subscriber representation regarding anti-money laundering and financial crimes matters; (iii) a no short sales position subscriber representation; a no broker or finder subscriber representation; and (iv) a specific performance clause.

On November 29, 2021, representatives of McDermott Will & Emery LLP (“MWE”), new counsel to CHW, were granted access to the Data Room.

On December 1, 2021, MWE and Cleary finalized a draft of the form of PIPE Subscription Agreement to be shared with potential investors in the PIPE and Backstop Investment.

Beginning on December 1, 2021, Wag! discussed a potential investment in shares of Series P Preferred Stock of Wag! (the “Series P Shares”) with several institutional and other accredited investors with significant existing investments in Wag! (the “Series P Investors”). The proposed economic terms of the Series P Shares, including the price per share of $10.00 and the expected conversion ratio into shares of New Wag! common stock, were substantially equivalent to those offered pursuant to the draft PIPE Subscription Agreement, with the exception that the proposed investment would be consummated prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. Wag! selected the Series P Investors due to Wag!’s existing shareholder relationships with the Series P Investors, the Series P Investors’ familiarity with Wag!’s business, and their willingness to invest prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. Following discussions with each Series P Investor regarding its preferred level of interest, Wag! determined to raise $11 million through the issuance of the 1.1 million Series P Shares.

On December 3, 2021, representatives of MWE submitted a due diligence request list to representatives of Wag!. Representatives of MWE, Cleary, CHW, Wag! and certain other advisors also met telephonically to discuss the status of the draft transaction documents. The participants confirmed the Sponsor forfeiture structure and mechanics, and representatives of Cleary indicated that Wag! and Cleary were discussing certain changes to the earnout structure. Substantive negotiations did not occur at this telephonic meeting. CHW’s representatives included Messrs. Grundman and Raskas, and Wag!’s representatives included Messrs. Smallwood, Storm and Davidian, and Nicholas Yu, Wag!’s Director of Legal.

On December 4, 2021, representatives of Cleary sent a markup of the Business Combination Agreement to MWE. The draft included revisions to the representations and warranties, interim covenants, provisions relating to funding of expenses, closing conditions and termination provisions. The representations and warranties of Wag! were revised to include additional qualifiers (e.g., knowledge and materiality qualifiers), higher disclosure thresholds and time limitations. The representations and warranties of CHW and Merger Sub were also revised to add a non-reliance provision. The provisions relating to the funding of expenses were added to the draft in accordance with the Term Sheet. These provisions outline the procedures by which

132

CHW and Wag! will each deliver to the other party calculations of their transaction expenses and pay such expenses. The interim covenants were revised to reflect higher dollar thresholds for certain actions with respect to the conduct of Wag!’s business in the interim period before the Closing that Wag! and its subsidiaries may not take without the prior written consent of CHW. In addition, the interim covenants were revised to clarify (i) that while Wag! will waive any claims it has against CHW’s trust account, such waiver will not prohibit Wag! from pursuing claims against CHW, Merger Sub or any other person for legal relief against monies held outside of CHW’s trust account and for damages if the Business Combination Agreement is terminated and CHW consummates a business combination with another party; (ii) additional requirements with respect to CHW’s obligation to notify Wag! when the Registration Statement has become effective or any supplements or amendments thereto have been filed; and (iii) the date on which Wag! must use its reasonable best efforts to deliver certain audited financial statements to CHW. Two additional Wag! closing conditions were added conditioning Wag!’s obligation to consummate the Business Combination on the satisfaction or waiver of the following conditions: (i) the PIPE and Backstop Investment has been consummated before or substantially concurrently with the Closing in a to-be-determined minimum amount (a condition that was not contemplated by the Term Sheet) and (ii) the resignation or removal of certain CHW officers and directors (as contemplated by the Term Sheet) have occurred. The termination provisions were revised to change the Outside Date from 180 days to 270 days.

On December 6, 2021, representatives of MWE and representatives of Cleary met telephonically to further discuss timing and drafting of the Business Combination Agreement, the CHW Founders Stock Letter, the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, and the other ancillary agreements. Substantive negotiations did not occur at this telephonic meeting.

On December 9, 2021, representatives of MWE met telephonically with Mr. Yu and representatives of Cleary as part of CHW’s due diligence review of Wag!. Representatives of MWE discussed questions regarding Wag!’s labor and employment matters with Mr. Yu. No negotiations occurred on this diligence call.

On December 13, 2021, representatives of MWE sent a markup of the Business Combination Agreement, which included revisions to the representations and warranties, interim covenants, provisions relating to funding of expenses and closing conditions, and an initial draft of the CHW Founders Stock Letter to Cleary. The representations and warranties of Wag! in the Business Combination Agreement were revised to remove certain knowledge and materiality qualifiers and to lower certain disclosure thresholds. Representations regarding Wag!’s PPP Loan and other payments and liabilities in connection with the CARES Act, permits and licenses relating to Compare Pet Insurance Services, Inc. (“CPI”), one of Wag!’s subsidiary, as an insurance agency, and insurance company matters relating to insurance companies with which CPI has placed any business were added to the draft. The representations and warranties of Wag! regarding employee benefit plans, labor and employment matters, intellectual property, and taxes were also expanded. The provisions relating to the funding of expenses were revised to remove certain dispute resolution provisions in the event of disputes regarding the accuracy of the calculation of CHW’s and Wag!’s transaction expenses. The interim operating covenants were revised to lower the dollar thresholds for certain actions with respect to the conduct of Wag!’s business in the interim period before the Closing that Wag! and its subsidiaries may not take without the prior written consent of CHW. Additional restrictions on the conduct of Wag!’s business during the interim period were also added. Five additional CHW and Merger Sub closing conditions were added conditioning CHW’s and Merger Sub’s obligations to consummate the Business Combination on the satisfaction or waiver of the following conditions: (i) no material adverse effect has occurred with respect to Wag! or its subsidiaries (as contemplated by the Term Sheet); (ii) Wag! has delivered to CHW payoff and release letters from the holders of the debt of Wag! and its subsidiaries; (iii) Wag! has delivered to CHW necessary consents, waivers and approvals of third parties; (iv) certain agreements have been terminated; and (v) Wag! has delivered to CHW certificate of the secretary of Wag!. The revised draft removed a condition that the PIPE and Backstop Investment has been consummated before or substantially concurrently with the Closing in a to-be-determined minimum amount. In addition, a conflict waiver provision was added with respect to CHW’s legal counsel.

On December 14, 2021, representatives of MWE met telephonically with Mr. Yu and representatives of Cleary as part of CHW’s due diligence review of Wag!. Representatives of MWE discussed questions regarding general corporate and organizational matters, financing, material contracts and arrangements, data

133

privacy and cybersecurity, litigation matters, intellectual property, labor and employment, employee benefits, environmental, and insurance matters with Mr. Yu. No negotiations occurred on this diligence call.

On December 15, 2021, representatives of Cleary sent initial drafts of the Proposed Organizational Documents, the Lock-Up Agreement, and the Stockholder Support Agreement to MWE. Representatives of MWE also submitted a revised draft of its due diligence request list to representatives of Wag!.

On December 16, 2021, representatives of MWE sent an initial draft of the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement to Cleary as well as revised drafts of the Proposed Organizational Documents, which were revised to add board observer information rights. Representatives of MWE also submitted a revised draft of its due diligence request list to representatives of Wag!.

On December 17, 2021, representatives of MWE sent revised drafts of the Lock-Up Agreement and the Stockholder Support Agreement to Cleary. The Lock-Up Agreement was revised to align the exclusions to the lock-up restrictions with those in the CHW Founders Support Letter, to add certain representations and warranties to be made by the undersigned securityholders to CHW, and to add the Sponsor as a third-party beneficiary of the Lock-Up Agreement. The Stockholder Support Agreement was revised to add a waiver of any appraisal rights or dissenters’ rights.

On December 18, 2021, representatives of Cleary sent to MWE a markup of the CHW Founders Stock Letter, which was revised to clarify the forfeiture mechanics.

On December 22, 2021, representatives of Wag! provided written diligence responses to MWE’s due diligence request list. Representatives of MWE also met telephonically with Mr. Yu and representatives of Cleary to discuss questions regarding labor and employment matters. No negotiations occurred on this diligence call.

On December 23, 2021, representatives of Cleary sent a markup of the Business Combination Agreement to MWE. The draft included revisions to the representations and warranties, interim covenants and closing conditions, as well as the addition of provisions regarding issuances of Series P Preferred Stock of Wag! to certain existing stockholders of Wag! as part of the Series P Investment. The provisions relating to the earnout were revised to clarify the specific number of shares to be awarded to the holders of certain restricted stock units of Wag! and to the holders of Wag! common stock and options rather than reflecting the aggregate number of earnout shares to be awarded following certain trigger events. The representations and warranties of Wag! were revised to reflect the contemplated issuance of Series P Preferred Stock of Wag! and to add additional knowledge and materiality qualifiers. Certain representations and warranties regarding employee benefit plans, labor and employment matters, tax matters, and insurance company matters relating to insurance companies with which CPI has placed any business were also narrowed. The interim covenants were revised to remove certain restrictions added in the previous draft with respect to the conduct of Wag!’s business in the interim period before the Closing. The following four CHW and Merger Sub closing conditions added in the previous draft were deleted: (i) Wag! has delivered to CHW payoff and release letters from the holders of the debt of Wag! and its subsidiaries; (ii) Wag! has delivered to CHW necessary consents, waivers and approvals of third parties; (iii) certain agreements have been terminated; and (iv) Wag! has delivered to CHW certificate of the secretary of Wag!. The draft added back the closing condition that the PIPE and Backstop Investment has been consummated before or substantially concurrently with the Closing in a to-be-determined minimum amount. In addition, the conflict waiver provision with respect to CHW’s legal counsel was deleted.

On December 23, 2021, representatives of MWE sent a revised draft of the CHW Founders Stock Letter to Cleary, which was revised to further clarify the forfeiture mechanics.

During the week of December 26, 2021, CHW proposed that Wag! consider taking a substantial debt investment as doing so would meet a number of criteria that CHW was considering. Messrs. Grundman and Raskas indicated to Messrs. Smallwood and Storm their view that a debt offering would offer long-term capital committed for approximately two to three years and overall lower dilution to current investors as compared to other term sheets that were presented to CHW’s management from the PIPE roadshow. Representatives of Wag! then began to consider a debt investment and CHW reached out to several potential lenders in its network to inquire about their interest in Wag!.

During that same week, Messrs. Grundman and Raskas discussed with representatives of Oppenheimer and later with Mr. Smallwood an additional forfeiture by Messrs. Grundman and Raskas of 20,000 shares

134

held indirectly by them. During these discussions, Messrs. Grundman and Raskas suggested that these shares be forfeited in connection with an issuance of 20,000 shares by CHW to either charity or Wag! pet caregivers. Representatives of Wag! internally discussed and agreed that these should be forfeited in connection with an issuance by CHW to Wag! pet caregivers. Messrs. Grundman and Raskas and Mr. Smallwood also discussed and agreed to payments to be made to the Sponsor’s founders and to Wag!’s management in the event of a post-Closing tender offer or other redemption, termination or cancellation of New Wag!’s warrants to incentivize the Sponsor’s founders and Wag!’s management team to raise the stock price.

On December 28, 2021, representatives of MWE conducted a telephonic diligence call with Mr. Yu, attended by representatives of Cleary, to discuss questions regarding general corporate and organizational matters, financing, data privacy and cybersecurity, litigation matters, intellectual property and information technology, labor and employment, and insurance matters. No negotiations occurred on this diligence call.

On December 28, 2021, Oppenheimer, on behalf of Wag!, sent CHW a revised draft Amended and Restated Term Sheet, which included a revised valuation of $300 million, a reduced minimum cash condition, and revised transaction fee estimates. The revised valuation was a result of discussions between Messrs. Grundman and Raskas, representatives of Wag! and Oppenheimer held that week based on comparable company values decreasing following the execution of the original term sheet. Negotiations with respect to the Series P Investment were occurring in parallel to negotiations of the proposed PIPE and Backstop Investment, including determining the allocation of the proposed PIPE and Backstop Investment as between new investors and existing investors in Wag!, and did not directly affect the initial valuation proposal from CHW or the December 28, 2021 revised valuation.

The December 28, 2021 revised draft Amended and Restated Term Sheet also provided that, in addition to the Sponsor Forfeiture Shares, Mr. Grundman and Mr. Raskas would agree to utilize up to an additional 30% of their Founder Shares and CHW warrants held through the Sponsor, to incentivize public investors and mitigate the public entity cash in trust from falling below $30 million at the time of the closing. The composition of the incentive (i.e., the number of shares and warrants) would be in Mr. Grundman’s and Mr. Raskas’s sole discretion.

CHW and Wag! decided to incorporate the revised terms in the Business Combination Agreement, CHW Founders Stock Letter, and other transaction documents rather than amending the October 19, 2021 Term Sheet.

On December 29, 2021, representatives of MWE submitted a supplemental diligence request list to representatives of Wag!, and on January 4, 2022, representatives of Wag! provided written diligence responses to MWE’s supplemental due diligence request list.

In January 2022, two hedge funds extended offers to lend at least $30 million to Wag! and CHW. The offers were well-received by Wag!’s management and board of directors and were determined to be more favorable than the financing term sheets that were extended to Wag! and CHW at the end of 2021. Wag!, CHW, and the respective law firms started to work towards announcing a transaction that would include one of the two debt offerings. Financing for the transaction would be at least $45 million, of which $30 million would be from the Credit Facility and $15 million would be from the Series P Investment by current Wag! stockholders and the PIPE and Backstop Investment.

On January 5, 2022, representatives of MWE sent a revised draft of the Business Combination Agreement to Cleary. The draft included the revised valuation of $300 million from the draft Amended and Restated Term Sheet and mechanics for the payments to the Sponsor’s founders and Wag!’s management in connection with a post-Closing tender offer or other redemption, termination or cancellation of New Wag!’s warrants that Messrs. Grundman, Raskas and Smallwood had discussed the week of December 26, 2021. In addition, the draft included revisions to the representations and warranties, interim covenants, closing conditions and the post-Closing board composition of New Wag! to reflect the ability of CHW to designate one director, which CHW and Wag! had previously agreed to in the Term Sheet. The representations and warranties of Wag! were revised to remove certain knowledge and materiality qualifiers. The material contracts representation was revised to add the following two categories of agreements: (i) contracts governing the basic relationship between insurance company and CPI and (ii) contracts and agreements of CPI that provide for payment of any commissions, referral fees, marketing fees, profit commission, sharing or splitting any of the foregoing. The representations and warranties of Wag! regarding insurance, CPI’s Economic

135

Injury Disaster Loan, and insurance company matters were also expanded. The interim operating covenants were revised to add certain restrictions with respect to the conduct of Wag!’s business in the interim period before the Closing. A covenant was added to the draft regarding CHW’s right to distribute any cash on hand (excluding any funds in CHW’s trust account) to the CHW Founder Shareholders. Six additional CHW and Merger Sub closing conditions were added conditioning CHW’s and Merger Sub’s obligations to consummate the Business Combination on the satisfaction or waiver of the following conditions: (i) Wag! has delivered to CHW copies of joinders to the Lock-Up Agreement, duly executed by securityholders of Wag! who in the aggregate hold at least 80% of the issued and outstanding securities of Wag!; (ii) Wag! has delivered to CHW evidence that the unpaid principal amount and any accrued and payable interest under a promissory note has been repaid; (iii) Wag! has delivered to CHW payoff and release letters from the holders of the debt of Wag! and its subsidiaries; (iv) Wag! has delivered to CHW necessary consents, waivers and approvals of third parties; (v) certain agreements have been terminated; and (vi) Wag! has delivered to CHW a certificate of the secretary of Wag!. The Term Sheet included a placeholder for additional conditions that are appropriate following the completion of CHW’s due diligence investigation of Wag!. The draft removed the proposed closing condition that the PIPE and Backstop Investment has been consummated before or substantially concurrently with the Closing in a to-be-determined minimum amount. In addition, the conflict waiver provision was added back to the draft with respect to CHW’s legal counsel.

On January 7, 2022, representatives of MWE submitted a revised draft of the supplemental diligence request list to representatives of Wag!.

On January 10, 2022, representatives of MWE sent a revised draft of the PIPE and Backstop Subscription Agreement reflecting revised business terms to Cleary. The revised draft allowed the PIPE and Backstop Investor to satisfy obligations under the agreement by purchasing CHW securities in the open market. Representatives of Cleary sent revised drafts of the Lock-Up Agreement, the Stockholder Support Agreement, and CHW Founders Stock Letter to MWE. The Lock-Up Agreement included further revisions to the exclusions to the lock-up restrictions and the deletion of the Sponsor as a third-party beneficiary of the Lock-Up Agreement. The Stockholder Support Agreement was revised to remove an acknowledgement that appraisal and dissenters’ rights would not be available to the parties to the Stockholder Support Agreement upon execution. The CHW Founders Stock Letter was revised to include a waiver by the Sponsor’s founders to any claims against the trust account. The parties also finalized drafts of the Proposed Organizational Documents.

On January 11, 2022, representatives of MWE and Cleary met telephonically to discuss issues presented by the draft of the Business Combination Agreement last circulated by MWE, including, among other things, the rationale with respect to changes made to the composition of the post-Closing board of directors of New Wag! and the closing conditions. Substantive negotiations did not occur at this telephonic meeting. Representatives of Cleary also sent a revised draft of the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement to MWE. The revised draft included a reasonability modifier for certain CHW registration expenses and specified the criteria for underwriters that demanding securityholders may engage. At this time, Cleary also asked for clarification regarding whether any CHW working capital loans were outstanding. Representatives of Wag! provided written diligence responses to MWE’s supplemental due diligence request list. Representatives of MWE also sent revised drafts of the Lock-Up Agreement, the Stockholder Support Agreement, and CHW Founders Stock Letter to Cleary. The Lock-Up Agreement was revised to add back the Sponsor as a third-party beneficiary of the Lock-Up Agreement and to add a waiver by the Wag! stockholders party to the Lock-Up Agreement to any claims to the trust account until the Acquisition Merger Effective Time. The Stockholder Support Agreement was revised to add a form of joinder to the Stockholder Support Agreement for stockholders of Wag! to enter into the agreement after the execution of the agreement but prior to the Acquisition Merger Effective Time. The CHW Founders Stock Letter was revised to remove the waiver by the Sponsor’s founders to any claims against the trust account.

On January 12, 2022, representatives of MWE sent a further revised draft of the PIPE and Backstop Subscription Agreement to Cleary.

On January 13, 2022, representatives of MWE submitted a revised draft of the supplemental diligence request list to representatives of Wag!.

On January 14, 2022, representatives of MWE sent a revised draft of the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement to Cleary. The Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement was revised for general cleanup and to clarify conditions to CHW’s obligations to file a resale registration statement with respect to the registrable securities under the agreement. Representatives of Cleary also sent revised drafts of the Lock-Up Agreement and the Stockholder Support Agreement to MWE. The Lock-Up Agreement was revised to remove the Sponsor as a third-party beneficiary, and the Stockholder Support Agreement was revised to fix a typographical error.

On January 17, 2022, representatives of MWE sent a revised draft of the PIPE and Backstop Subscription Agreement to Cleary, whereby MWE accepted the changes Cleary had proposed on January 13, 2022.

On January 17, 2022, representatives of Cleary sent the initial draft of the subscription agreement for the Series P Shares (the “Series P Subscription Agreement”) to representatives of the Series P Investors. From January 17, 2022 to January 28, 2022, representatives of Cleary exchanged drafts of the Series P Subscription Agreements and related documents with representatives of the Series P Investors. Negotiated issues included the timing of the investment in the Series P Shares, the terms of the lock-up provisions applicable to the Series P Investors and the treatment of the Series P Shares in the event that the Business Combination were not consummated.

On January 19, 2022, representatives of MWE sent the draft of the PIPE and Backstop Agreement to the PIPE and Backstop Investor, a qualified institutional buyer, who, in turn, shared with its counsel for review.

On January 21, 2022, representatives of Cleary sent a revised draft of the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement to MWE. The revised draft reduced the term of the agreement to five years from ten.

On January 22, 2022, representatives of Wag! provided written diligence responses to MWE’s supplemental due diligence request list. CHW’s rigorous due diligence process was conducted through a number of third parties engaged by CHW. MWE completed legal due diligence, E&Y completed financial information due diligence, and CT Insights completed an audit and analysis of their technology and IT structure.

The purpose of the due diligence was to confirm and corroborate the information that Wag! had shared was accurate and that there was not anything missing from the Data Room which Wag! had provided to CHW’s management team. The financial information due diligence summary that was delivered to CHW’s management team did not change how CHW approached the transaction or the negotiation as it corroborated what CHW had reviewed and analyzed. The assumptions employed in the financial information due diligence summary completed by E&Y were grounded in pre-COVID operating results and depended on Wag!’s management’s confidence that customer behavior (retention, services per customer, etc.) in a post-COVID “return to normal” scenario would be similar to pre-COVID customer behavior.

On January 25, 2022, representatives of Cleary sent a revised draft of the Business Combination Agreement to MWE. The draft included the issuance of shares at the Closing to pet caregivers of Wag!, which was initially discussed the week of December 27, 2021 between Messrs. Grundman and Raskas and Oppenheimer and later discussed between Messrs. Grundman and Raskas, on the one hand, and Mr. Smallwood, on the other. Provisions related to the Commitment Letter and the Credit Facility with the Debt Financing Sources were added to the draft. The Term Sheet contemplates that CHW may pursue alternative financing sources to meet its minimum cash condition. The provisions relating to the funding of expenses were also revised to reflect that CHW’s fees and expenses will not exceed $10,450,000, which was not contemplated by the Term Sheet. A few of the representations and warranties of Wag! were revised to include additional knowledge and materiality qualifiers and to limit the applicable time period. Additionally, the employee matters representation of CHW and Merger Sub was revised to specify that the Business Combination would not cause any “excess parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Code. The interim

137

covenants were revised to remove certain restrictions added in the previous draft with respect to the conduct of Wag!’s business in the interim period before the Closing. The following six CHW and Merger Sub closing conditions added in the previous draft were deleted: (i) Wag! has delivered to CHW copies of joinders to the Lock-Up Agreement, duly executed by securityholders of Wag! who in the aggregate hold at least 80% of the issued and outstanding securities of Wag!; (ii) Wag! has delivered to CHW evidence that the unpaid principal amount and any accrued and payable interest under a promissory note has been repaid; (iii) Wag! has delivered to CHW payoff and release letters from the holders of the debt of Wag! and its subsidiaries; (iv) Wag! has delivered to CHW necessary consents, waivers and approvals of third parties; (v) certain agreements have been terminated; and (vi) Wag! has delivered to CHW certificate of the secretary of Wag!. The proposed closing condition regarding Wag! delivering to CHW copies of joinders to the Lock-Up Agreements was proposed as an interim period covenant in this draft. However, the draft proposed the Lock-Up Agreements be duly executed by securityholders of Wag! who in the aggregate hold at least 60% (rather than 80%) of the issued and outstanding securities of Wag!. Interim covenants were added to the draft regarding (i) issuing shares at the Closing to pet caregivers of Wag!; (ii) issuing Management Earnout RSUs; and (iii) requesting and receiving consent from the lender of the PPP Loan or repaying in full the PPP Loan. Additionally, a Wag! closing condition regarding receipt of the proceeds from the Credit Facility was added to the draft. A conflict waiver provision with respect to Wag!’s legal counsel was also included in the draft.

On January 25, 2022, counsel to the PIPE and Backstop Investor requested the following revisions to the PIPE and Backstop Agreement: (i) specify that capital to be returned within three business days following the closing date; (ii) include a most favorable nation provision in relation to any other PIPE subscribers; (iii) remove certain language restricting hedging; (iv) tie termination under the Agreement to a certain date rather than tying to the Outside Date (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement); and (v) specify that the “disclosure document” will be filed at 9:00 AM Eastern on the first business day following the closing.

On January 27, 2022, representatives of MWE also sent a revised draft of the Business Combination Agreement to Cleary. The draft included revisions to the representations and warranties, the debt financing provisions, the provisions regarding issuances of Series P Preferred Stock of Wag! to certain existing stockholders of Wag! as part of the Series P Investment, and the interim covenants. The amount of the PIPE and Backstop Investment was added to the draft at the agreed-upon $5.0 million. The provisions relating to the funding of expenses were also revised to reflect that CHW’s fees and expenses will not exceed $13 million, consistent with the Term Sheet. The provisions regarding the issuance of shares at the Closing to pet caregivers of Wag! were deleted from the draft. A few of the representations and warranties of Wag! were revised to remove certain knowledge and materiality qualifiers. Additionally, the employee matters representation of CHW and Merger Sub was revised to remove the language specifying that the Business Combination would not cause any “excess parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Code. The interim covenants regarding the conduct of Wag!’s business in the interim period before the Closing that Wag! and its subsidiaries may not take without the prior written consent of CHW were revised to (i) include additional restricted actions and (ii) clarify that the Series P Investment must be consummated in accordance with the Series P Subscription Agreements and the Certificate of Incorporation of Wag! in effect as of the date of the Business Combination Agreement. Any further agreements or side letters entered into with the Series P Investors would require the consent of CHW. The previously added interim covenant regarding Wag! delivering to CHW copies of joinders to the Lock-Up Agreements was revised to require Wag! to deliver joinders thereto duly executed (i) all members of Wag!’s management who hold securities of Wag! and (ii) the securityholders of Wag!, who, together with the Key Wag! Stockholders and such management securityholders, in the aggregate hold at least 70% (rather than 60%) of the issued and outstanding securities of Wag!. Three additional CHW and Merger Sub closing conditions were added conditioning CHW’s and Merger Sub’s obligations to consummate the Business Combination on the satisfaction or waiver of the following conditions: (i) Wag! has delivered to CHW payoff and release letters from the holders of the debt of Wag! and its subsidiaries and all documentation necessary to obtain releases of all liens (e.g., UCC termination statements); (ii) Wag! has delivered to CHW copies of notices sent to third parties; and (iii) certain agreements have been terminated. The Wag! closing condition regarding receipt of the proceeds from the Credit Facility was deleted from the draft. Additionally, the Wag! closing condition regarding minimum cash was reduced (in accordance with the revised valuation of $300 million).

138

On January 27, 2022, representatives of MWE sent a revised PIPE and Backstop Subscription Agreement to Cleary. The revised document (i) specified that capital to be returned within three business days following the closing date; (ii) include a most favored nation provision in relation to any other PIPE subscribers; (iii) remove certain language restricting hedging; (iv) tied termination to 90 days after the Outside Date (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement); and (v) specified that the “cleaning statement” will be filed on the second business day following the date of the subscription agreement.

On January 28, 2022, having received no further comments from Cleary, sent the same PIPE and Backstop Subscription Agreement to the PIPE and Backstop Investor and its counsel.

On January 28, 2022, Wag! amended and restated its certificate of incorporation to designate the Series P Shares and entered into the Series P Subscription Agreements with the Series P Investors.

On January 29, 2022, representatives of Cleary sent a revised draft of the CHW Founders Stock Letter to MWE. The CHW Founders Stock Letter was revised to include an obligation that the Founder Shareholders use reasonable best efforts to ensure that the trust account holds at least $30 million at the Acquisition Merger Effective Time, including by committing to forfeit up to 30% of the aggregate amount of shares and warrants held by the Founder Shareholders.

On January 30, 2022, representatives of Cleary sent revised drafts of the Business Combination Agreement, the Lock-Up Agreement and the Stockholder Support Agreement to MWE. The draft of the Business Combination Agreement included revisions to the representations and warranties, the provisions regarding the issuance of shares at the Closing to pet caregivers of Wag!, the interim covenants relating to the debt financing and the Omnibus Incentive Plan and ESPP, closing conditions, and termination provisions. The provisions regarding the issuance of shares at the Closing to pet caregivers of Wag! were added back to the draft. Specifically, a to-be-determined amount of New Wag! Community Shares will be issued that New Wag! may distribute to members of the pet wellness and welfare community as identified by its officers and directors. The Business Combination Agreement includes a covenant that if New Wag! determines that the New Wag! Community Shares will be distributed, (x) CHW and New Wag! will cooperate in good faith to include the registration of the New Wag! Community Shares on the Registration Statement and (y) no later than ten business days prior to the Closing, New Wag! will deliver to CHW a written notice setting forth the mechanism for distributing the New Wag! Community Shares and the persons to whom such New Wag! Community Shares will be distributed. Certain portions of the capitalization representation of Wag! were finalized. Additionally, the employee matters representation of CHW and Merger Sub was revised to specify that the Business Combination would not cause any “excess parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Code. The following three CHW and Merger Sub closing conditions added in the previous draft were deleted: (i) Wag! has delivered to CHW payoff and release letters from the holders of the debt of Wag! and its subsidiaries and all documentation necessary to obtain releases of all liens (e.g., UCC termination statements); (ii) Wag! has delivered to CHW copies of notices sent to third parties; and (iii) certain agreements have been terminated. However, the proposed closing condition regarding Wag! delivering to CHW copies of notices sent to third parties was proposed as an interim period covenant in this draft. The termination provisions were also revised to remove the right of CHW to terminate the Business Combination Agreement if Wag! fails to deliver to CHW copies of the audited consolidated balance sheet of Wag! and its subsidiaries as of the years December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020 and the related audited consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders’ equity of Wag! and its subsidiaries for the years then ended by February 15, 2022. The Lock-Up Agreement was revised to include a mechanism that if any of the lockup provisions in the CHW Founders Stock Letter are waived, then the lockup provisions in the Lock-Up Agreement are to be waived with respect to the same percentage of common stock of the Company as to which the lockup provisions in the CHW Founders Stock Letter were waived. The Stockholder Support Agreement was revised to remove obligations of the Wag! securityholders party to the agreement to notify the Company and Wag! of any inquiry or proposal received regarding an alternative transaction and to add an obligation by the Company or Wag! to provide any Wag! securityholder party to the Stockholder Support Agreement a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon any disclosure to be made by the Company or Wag! to any governmental authority of any information with respect to such securityholder.

On January 30, 2022, representatives of MWE and Cleary also met telephonically to discuss issues presented by the draft of the Business Combination Agreement. Specifically, representatives of Cleary provided context for changes reflected in the last draft of the Business Combination Agreement circulated

139

by Cleary relating to: (i) the New Wag! Community Shares, (ii) the removal of CHW’s termination right if Wag! fails to deliver the audited financial statements as previously described, and (iii) the removal of the closing conditions relating to the delivery of payoff and release letters from the holders of the debt of Wag! and its subsidiaries and documentation necessary to obtain releases of all liens, copies of notices sent to third parties, and the terminations of certain agreements into interim period covenants of Wag! Substantive negotiations did not occur at this telephonic meeting.

On January 31, 2022, representatives of MWE sent revised drafts of the CHW Founders Stock Letter, the Lock-Up Agreement and the Stockholder Support Agreement to Cleary. The Stockholder Support Agreement was revised to add back in obligations of the Wag! securityholders party to the agreement to notify CHW and Wag! of its receipt of any inquiry or proposal regarding an alternative transaction. The CHW Founders Support Letter was revised to lower the number of shares and warrants subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor’s founders from 30% to 15% and to revise the trigger event for such forfeiture to be if the amount of cash proceeds required to satisfy exercises of the redemption rights immediately prior to the Acquisition Merger Effective Time equals an amount greater than 90% of the funds contained in the trust account. The Lock-Up Agreement was revised to fix typographical errors.

On February 1, 2022, a quorum of the CHW board of directors convened via videoconference and received an update of the current status of transaction negotiations and the proposed Business Combination Agreement and other agreements and documents to be approved by the CHW board of directors in connection with the proposed Business Combination. The CHW directors present at the meeting were Messrs. Grundman, Raskas, Tickle, and Reiser and Ms. Weinswig. Also present at the meeting were Mr. Norman and representatives of MWE. Following a review and discussion among the directors, the Business Combination Agreement, Commitment Letter, PIPE and Backstop Subscription Agreement and the other agreements related to the foregoing agreements were unanimously approved by those members of the CHW board of directors present. The three CHW directors who were not present, Messrs. Johnson and Herrero and Ms. Benovitz, reviewed the Business Combination Agreement and other related documents and expressed approval but were unable to attend the meeting due to scheduling conflicts. The actions taken at the February 1, 2022 CHW board meeting were later ratified by a unanimous written consent of the board of directors of CHW on June 6, 2022.

On February 2, 2022, the parties finalized the Business Combination Agreement.

On February 2, 2022, the Business Combination Agreement, Commitment Letter, PIPE and Backstop Subscription Agreement, Stockholder Support Agreement, Lock-Up Agreement, CHW Founders Stock Letter and related agreements were signed. On June 30, 2022, CHW entered into a side letter agreement with the PIPE and Backstop Investor removing the option for the PIPE and Backstop Investor to acquire shares in the open market.

On May 26, 2022, representatives of Cleary and representatives of MWE discussed changes to the Proposed Bylaws to add a lock-up provision with respect to the shares of New Wag! Common Stock issuable in the Acquisition Merger to the holders of Wag! common stock and Wag! preferred stock as of immediately prior to the Acquisition Merger, as well as the shares of New Wag! Common Stock issuable in respect of any Wag! Options, Wag! Warrants and Wag! RSUs outstanding as of immediately prior to the Acquisition Merger. The new lock-up provisions set forth in the Proposed Bylaws, described further under “— Reasons for the Advisory Charter Proposals,” will not be binding on any holders of CHW stock who receive shares of New Wag! Common Stock in the transactions, nor will such lock-up provisions bind any person party to a Lock-Up Agreement. On June 1, 2022, representatives of Cleary sent a revised draft of the Proposed Bylaws to representatives of MWE. On June 2, 2022, representatives of MWE sent a further revised draft of the Proposed Bylaws to representatives of Cleary. On June 2, 2022, representatives of Cleary and representatives of MWE agreed to the further revised draft of the Proposed Bylaws.

As of the date hereof, Chardan continues to serve as CHW’s financial adviser and has no intention of ceasing its involvement in the Transaction. Upon the consummation of the Transaction, Chardan is entitled to a deferred underwriting commission of $4,375,000 in connection with its services as an underwriter for CHW’s IPO.

CHW’s Existing Organizational Documents provide that CHW renounces its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. CHW is not aware of any such corporate opportunities not being offered to it and does not believe that the limitation of the application of the “corporate opportunity” doctrine in CHW’s Existing Organizational Documents had any impact on its search for a potential business combination.

Recommendation of the CHW Acquisition Corporation Board and Reasons for the Business Combination

The CHW Acquisition Corporation Board, in evaluating the Business Combination, reviewed a number of materials, including the investor presentation and analyses therein, the transaction documentation, and certain due diligence summary materials prepared by CHW’s management team, and consulted with CHW’s management team and legal advisors. In reaching its resolution (i) that the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are advisable and in the best interests of CHW and its shareholders and (ii) to recommend that CHW public shareholders adopt the Business Combination Agreement and approve the Business Combination and the transactions contemplated thereby, the CHW

141

Board considered a range of factors, including, but not limited to, the factors discussed below. In light of the number and wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination, the CHW Board did not consider it practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors that it considered in reaching its determination and supporting its decision. The CHW Board viewed its decision as being based on all of the information available and the factors presented to and considered by it. In addition, individual directors may have given different weight to different factors. This explanation of CHW’s reasons for the Business Combination and all other information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

In approving the Business Combination, the CHW Board determined not to obtain a fairness opinion. The officers and directors of CHW have substantial experience in evaluating the operating and financial merits of companies from a wide range of industries and concluded that their experience and background enabled them to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the Business Combination. In addition, CHW’s officers, directors and advisors have substantial experience with mergers and acquisitions across a variety of different industries.

In evaluating the Business Combination, the CHW Board considered the criteria and guidelines to evaluate prospective business opportunities set by the CHW management team in the CHW IPO prospectus:

•

Significant growth potential with high operating leverage and improving unit economics;

•

Public market reception;

•

Barriers to entry;

•

Competitive advantages;

•

Public markets management team;

•

Leveraging CHW’s management team’s experiences; and

•

Other criteria.

The criteria above were not intended to be exhaustive. Any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular initial business combination may be based, to the extent relevant, on these general guidelines as well as other considerations, factors and criteria that CHW’s management and the CHW Board deemed relevant.

The CHW Board determined that Wag! meets many of the above criteria following a presentation from CHW’s management team which noted, among other things, that:

•

CHW’s management team found Wag!’s unit economics, including their lifetime value/customer acquisition cost ratio, to be highly attractive. Wag! has proven and replicable gross margins across all markets;

•

Wag!’s dependable and recurring Pet Parent behavior results in usage by non-premium Pet Parents of approximately 4 to 5 times per month. Wag! Premium Pet Parents use the service 7 to 8 times per month, further driving recurring revenue;

•

Both parts of Wag!’s marketplace, consisting of Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers, have leading Net Promoter Scores. As of October 2021, Pet Parents gave an average Net Promoter Score that was between 65 to 70, while Pet Caregivers gave an average Net Promoter Score that was between 45 to 55;

•

Wag!’s exceptional brand and reach leads the industry and generates strong Pet Parent loyalty that results in Organic Customer Acquisition of approximately 70%, from the first quarter of 2019 to the second quarter of 2021;

•

Wag! Premium, which drives retention, captures approximately 40% of monthly active users and has an attractive price point for Pet Parents;

•

Wag! leads the industry in service quality with over 11 million reviews, more than 96% of which have earned five stars;

•

142

•

Wag!’s Platform Participant continued use of the platform are of high quality and as the business scales, Wag! will benefit from significant operating leverage;

•

Wag! has a highly experienced and seasoned management team that continues to drive improvements in the technology and the platform, to enhance the Pet Parent and Pet Caregiver experience, and to ultimately increase market share;

•

Wag! will benefit from the increase in pet ownership during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the return to office policies and recovery in travel, when COVID-19 pandemic related restrictions are lifted;

•

Wag!’s mobile based platform is proven and validated by the market; and

•

Wag!’s future growth prospects are highly attractive as the business endeavors to be the all-in-one solution to Pet Parents for many of their pet related service needs, in a robust and growing market.

The CHW Board also considered a number of other factors pertaining to the Business Combination as generally supporting its decision to enter into the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including, but not limited to, the following material factors:

•

Due Diligence.   Due diligence examinations of Wag! and discussions with Wag’s management and CHW’s management team, business advisors and legal advisors concerning CHW’s due diligence examination of Wag!;

•

Financial Condition.   Wag!’s historical financial results, forecast confidence, financial plan and debt structure, as well as valuations and trading of publicly traded companies in similar and adjacent sectors;

Common Stock subject to early release upon achievement of a specified price target for New Wag! Common Stock (see “The Business Combination Agreement — Related Agreements — Lock-Up Agreement” and “Description of New Wag!’s Securities”), and the shares of New Wag! Common Stock issuable to all other holders of Wag! common stock and Wag! preferred stock as of immediately prior to the Acquisition Merger (other than shares of New Wag! Common Stock held by persons certain stockholders of Wag! that do not enter into Lock-Up Agreements), as well as the shares of New Wag! Common Stock issuable in respect of any Wag! Options, Wag! Warrants and Wag! RSUs outstanding as of immediately prior to the Acquisition Merger will be subject to substantially similar restrictions to those contained in the Lock-Up Agreements pursuant to the Proposed Bylaws; and

•

Other Alternatives.   The CHW Board believes, after a thorough review of other business combination opportunities reasonably available to CHW, that the proposed Merger represents the best potential business combination for CHW and the most attractive opportunity for CHW’s management to accelerate its business plan based upon the process utilized to evaluate and assess other potential acquisition targets, and the CHW Board believes that such process has not presented a better alternative.

The CHW Board also considered a variety of uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Business Combination, including, but not limited to, the following:

•

COVID-19 Risks.   Uncertainty about Wag!’s existing business challenges during the current COVID-19 pandemic;

•

Near-Term Financial Results of Wag!.   The unforeseen, prolonged nature of the COVID-19 pandemic has caused depressed near-term growth;

143

•

Macroeconomic Risks.   Macroeconomic uncertainty and the effects it could have on New Wag!’s revenues;

•

Redemption Risk.   The potential that a significant number of CHW public shareholders elect to redeem their shares prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and pursuant to the Existing Organizational Documents, which would potentially make the Business Combination more difficult or impossible to complete;

•

Shareholder Vote.   The risk that CHW public shareholders may fail to provide the respective votes necessary to effect the Business Combination;

•

Closing Conditions.   The fact that the completion of the Business Combination is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain closing conditions that are not within CHW’s control;

•

Litigation.   The possibility of litigation challenging the Business Combination or that an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin consummation of the Business Combination;

•

Listing Risks.   The challenges associated with preparing Wag!, a private entity, for the applicable disclosure and listing requirements to which New Wag! will be subject as a publicly traded company on Nasdaq;

•

Benefits May Not Be Achieved.   The risks that the potential benefits of the Business Combination may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe;

•

Liquidation of CHW.   The risks and costs to CHW if the Business Combination is not completed, including the risk of diverting management focus and resources from other business combination opportunities;

•

Costs Savings and Growth Initiatives May Not be Achieved.   The risk that the cost savings and growth initiatives may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe;

•

No Third-Party Valuation.   The risk that CHW did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with the Business Combination;

•

CHW Public Shareholders Receiving a Minority Position in New Wag!.   The risk that CHW public shareholders will hold a minority position in New Wag!; and

•

Fees and Expenses.   The fees and expenses that are associated with completing the Business Combination.

In addition to considering the factors described above, the CHW Board also considered other factors including, without limitation:

•

Interests of Certain Persons.   Some officers and directors of CHW may have interests in the Business Combination (see “— Interests of CHW’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination” and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business Combination and CHW — Some of CHW’s officers and directors may have conflicts of interest that may influence or have influenced them to support or approve the Business Combination without regard to your interests or in determining whether New Wag! is appropriate for CHW’s initial business combination.”); and

•

Other Risk Factors.   Various other risk factors associated with the business of Wag!, as described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The CHW Board concluded that the potential benefits that it expects CHW and its shareholders to achieve as a result of the Business Combination outweighed the potentially negative and other factors associated with the Business Combination. The CHW Board also noted that CHW public shareholders would have a substantial economic interest in New Wag! (depending on the level of CHW public shareholders that sought redemption of their public shares for cash). Accordingly, the CHW Board determined that the Business Combination and the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement were advisable and in the best interests of CHW and its shareholders.

Financial Statements

CHW management’s review of the Business Combination included a detailed review of the audited balance sheets and results of operations and comprehensive loss, cash flows, mezzanine equity and

144

stockholders’ deficit of Wag! for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, together with the auditor’s reports thereon and an unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and statements of operations and comprehensive loss, cash flows, mezzanine equity and stockholders’ deficit of Wag! and its subsidiaries as of and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021. CHW reviewed the financial statements to assess the quality of the business operations, health and stability of the business on a historical and current basis, and to assess both current and long term assets and liabilities of the business. Furthermore, CHW utilized the financial statements to perform a series of financial diagnostics, including benchmarking costs to similar consumer marketplace businesses (such businesses identified in “BCA Proposal — The Business Combination Agreement — Comparable Company Analysis”), analyses of revenue composition and growth, and analyses of historical take rate trends. The CHW team found that the financial diagnostics and comparable company analyses demonstrated the differentiated nature of Wag!’s economic model, scalability of the unit economics, and pointed to a strong core value proposition. Wag!’s growth and margin profile proved to be in line with other consumer marketplace businesses. Moreover, information in the audited financial statements were key inputs utilized in CHW’s financial models and the financial data generated by these models were used to run trading scenarios for Wag!’s business. In particular, the CHW team focused on achievability of 2022 and 2023 revenue assumptions. The sensitivity and financial analyses conducted by CHW’s team ultimately supported the agreed upon transaction enterprise value.

Comparable Company Analysis

CHW management’s review of the Business Combination included a comparable company analysis to assess the value that the public markets would likely ascribe to CHW following a business combination with Wag! and this analysis was shown to the CHW Board. The comparable company analysis was prepared by Wag!’s management team. The relative valuation analysis was based on selected publicly-traded companies that (1) have leading online consumer marketplaces with similar take-rate economics, (2) generate powerful network effects from large user bases that leads to improved algorithms and stronger Artificial Intelligence, as well as Machine Learning supported by Big Data and analytics, (3) have a strong mobile presence, with either mobile first or a strong multi-platform strategy, (4) are highly disruptive of traditional industries and (5) have high growth characteristics with a critical mass of users and activity. The comparable companies were selected by Wag! as publicly traded companies having common characteristics with Wag!’s business model and the sectors in which it operates (but, for the avoidance of doubt, each of the selected companies is not necessarily a direct competitor of Wag!). The comparable companies included in the analysis consisted of Airbnb, Inc., DoorDash, Inc., Etsy, Inc., Fiverr International Ltd., Match Group, Inc., Rover Group Inc., and Uber Technologies, Inc. While these companies may share certain characteristics that are similar to those of Wag!, the CHW Board did not consider any of these companies to be identical in nature to Wag!.

Using publicly available information, information from paid subscription services that provide, among other things, broker consensus estimates for relevant metrics, and information provided by Wag!’s management, CHW management reviewed with the CHW Board, among other things, with respect to Wag! and each such selected comparable company: (i) estimated compound annual growth rate of revenue for calendar years 2021 through 2023, (ii) estimated gross profit margin for calendar year 2022, (iii) enterprise value (the equity value of Wag! prior to cash proceeds from the transaction) as a multiple of estimated revenue for calendar year 2022 and (iv) enterprise value as a multiple of estimated revenue for calendar year 2023. The applicable metrics for Wag! and the selected comparable companies are summarized in the table below:

Selected Company	Revenue CAGR CY21’-23E’		Gross Profit Margin CY2022E		Enterprise Value / Revenue CY2022E		Enterprise Value / Revenue CY2023E
Wag!	​	95%	​	89%	​	8.3x	​	4.9x

The results of this analysis (as described above) supported the CHW Board’s determination, based on a number of factors, that the enterprise value for Wag! pursuant to the Business Combination was fair to and in the best interests of CHW and its shareholders.

The projected information included below related to Wag! has been prepared by, and is the responsibility of, Wag!’s management. BDO USA, LLP, Wag!’s independent registered public accounting firm, has not audited, reviewed, examined, compiled nor applied agreed-upon procedures with respect to the accompanying projected financial information and, accordingly, BDO USA, LLP does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto. The BDO USA, LLP report included in this proxy statement/​prospectus relates to Wag!’s previously issued financial statements. It does not extend to the projected financial information and should not be read to do so.

Certain Projected Financial Information

New Wag! does not, as a matter of general practice, publicly disclose long-term forecasts or internal projections of its future performance, revenue, earnings, financial condition or other results due to, among other reasons, the uncertainty of the underlying assumptions and estimates. However, the prospective financial information of New Wag! for fiscal years 2021 through 2023, each ended December 31, prepared by New Wag!’s management team (the “Financial Projections”), was provided to the CHW Board in connection with the CHW Board’s consideration of the proposed Business Combination. Wag!’s management team prepared the Financial Projections as of November 2021. The Financial Projections are included in this proxy statement/prospectus and the CHW Board has reviewed and discussed the Financial Projections. The Financial Projections do not take into account any circumstances or events occurring after the date on which the Financial Projections were prepared, which was November 2021.

Assumptions

In connection with the preparation of the Financial Projections, New Wag!’s management team considered various material assumptions, including, but not limited to, the following:

•

The return-to-office will take place gradually between Q1’2022 and Q1’2023.

•

Monthly services completed on the Wag! platform will return to pre-pandemic levels in Q4’2022.

•

Projected 2023 bookings and revenue on the Wag platform projected to grow from 2022, driven by new Platform Participants joined in 2022 continuing to use the platform in 2023 together with new platform participant acquisition in 2023 from increased marketing spend on the basis of historical marketing efficiency trends.

•

Wag!’s Platform Participants from pre-2020 will never fully return and will contribute less than 30% of revenue in 2022.

•

2022 marketing spend will convert new bookings with comparable efficiency to pre-COVID levels, with increasing marketing spend per customer beginning in Q3’2021.

•

There will be no overarching improvements to future average revenue per Platform Participant or Wag! Premium penetration. Wag! Wellness will synergize within the Wag! ecosystem through 2022 and beyond and will provide significant upside to take rate.

•

No material liabilities.

•

No inorganic acquisition or mergers or acquisitions.

•

Forecasted operating Adjusted EBITDA of $(15.6m) and $(10.7m) for FY’2022 and FY’2023, respectively, due to focus on brand building, with positive EBITDA in Q2’2024.

•

Format of the projections presented did not include net income.

•

Revenue presented is reduced for certain marketing coupons, which may be presented as marketing expenses in the GAAP financials.

While presented with numerical specificity, the Financial Projections are forward-looking and reflect numerous estimates and assumptions with respect to future industry performance under various industry scenarios as well as assumptions for competition, general business, economic, market and financial conditions

146

and other future events, as well as matters specific to the business of New Wag!, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond New Wag!’s control including, among other things, the matters described in the sections herein entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors.”

Financial Projections

The Financial Projections are set forth below. The Financial Projections were previously included in New Wag!’s Investor Presentation, which was filed with the SEC by CHW on February 3, 2022 as an exhibit to a Form 8-K. The footnotes to the tables below have been updated and modified to conform to the presentation in this proxy statement/prospectus. The tables set forth New Wag!’s unaudited, adjusted results and future projections reviewed by the CHW Board for purposes of its consideration of the Business Combination:

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) adjusted for provision for (benefit from) income taxes, interest income (expense), depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, and 2019/20 restructuring expense

The Financial Projections were prepared solely for internal use and not with a view toward public disclosure or toward complying with GAAP, the published guidelines of the SEC regarding projections or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information. The Financial Projections have not been audited. None

147

of the independent registered public accounting firms of New Wag! or CHW or any other independent accountants, have compiled, examined or performed any review or other procedures with respect to the Financial Projections contained herein, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or their achievability, and the independent accounting firms of New Wag! and CHW assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the Projections.

The Financial Projections included in this proxy statement/prospectus have been prepared by, and are the sole responsibility of, New Wag!’s management team. The Projections were prepared in good faith by New Wag!’s management team based on its reasonable best estimates and assumptions with respect to the expected future financial performance of New Wag! as of the date on which the Financial Projections were prepared and speak only as of such date.

The Financial Projections are included in this proxy statement/prospectus solely to provide CHW’s shareholders access to information made available in connection with the CHW Board’s consideration of the proposed Business Combination. The Financial Projections are being provided for information purposes only and are not and should not be viewed as public guidance regarding the future performance of New Wag!. The actual future performance of New Wag! may vary materially from the forecasts contained in the Financial Projections. Furthermore, the Financial Projections do not take into account any circumstances or events occurring after November 2021, the date they were prepared.

New Wag! has not warranted the accuracy, reliability, appropriateness or completeness of the Financial Projections to anyone, including CHW. None of New Wag!’s management nor any of its representatives has made or makes any representations to any person regarding the ultimate performance of New Wag! relative to the Financial Projections. The Financial Projections are not fact. The Financial Projections are not a guarantee of actual future performance. The future financial results of New Wag! may differ materially from those expressed in the Financial Projections due to factors beyond New Wag!’s ability to control or predict.

The Financial Projections are included in this proxy statement/prospectus solely for informational purposes and not to induce any CHW shareholders to vote in favor of any of the proposals at the Special Meeting.

CHW and New Wag! encourage you to review the financial statements of New Wag! included in this proxy statement/prospectus, as well as the financial information in the sections entitled “New Wag!’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Non-GAAP Financial Information” and “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” in this proxy statement/prospectus and to not rely on any single financial measure.

None of CHW, New Wag! or any of their respective affiliates intends to, and, except to the extent required by applicable law, each of them expressly disclaims any obligation to, update, revise or correct the Financial Projections to reflect circumstances existing or arising after the date such Financial Projections were generated or to reflect the occurrence of future events, even in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying the Financial Projections are shown to be in error or any of the Financial Projections otherwise would not be realized.

The Financial Projections include certain non-GAAP financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and that may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Each of New Wag! and CHW believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors and potential investors to use in evaluating New Wag!’s ongoing operating results and trends. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. To the extent that forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are provided, they are presented on a non-GAAP basis without reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation.

Satisfaction of 80% Test

It is a requirement under the Existing Organizational Documents that any business acquired by CHW have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the trust account (excluding any

148

deferred underwriters’ fees and taxes payable on the income earned on the trust account) at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for an initial business combination. Based on the financial analysis of Wag! generally used to approve the business combination described herein, the CHW Board determined that this requirement was met. In reaching this determination, the CHW Board concluded that it was appropriate to base such valuation on qualitative factors such as management strength and depth, competitive positioning, and business model as well as quantitative factors such as Wag!’s potential for future growth in revenue and profits.

The CHW Board reviewed Wag!’s financial business model and qualitative factors as previously described throughout the due diligence process. After consideration of these factors, the CHW Board determined that the value of Wag! was substantially in excess of the 80% threshold. The CHW Board believed that the financial skills and background of its members qualified it to conclude that the acquisition of Wag! met this requirement.

Structure of the Business Combination

On February 2, 2022, CHW, Merger Sub, and Wag! entered into the Business Combination Agreement, pursuant to which the Business Combination will be effected in two steps: (i) on the Domestication Closing Date, CHW will domesticate as a Delaware corporation; and (ii) on the Acquisition Closing Date, Merger Sub will merge with and into Wag!, with Wag! surviving the Acquisition Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of CHW. The terms of the Business Combination Agreement, which contain customary representations and warranties, covenants, closing conditions, termination provisions, and other terms relating to the Business Combination, are summarized below.

Concurrently with the Domestication, CHW will adopt and file a certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, pursuant to which CHW will change its name to “Wag! Group Co.”, and adopt bylaws. At least one business day, but no more than two business days, after the Domestication, and no later than three business days following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Acquisition Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at such time), the Acquisition Merger will be consummated by the filing of a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

The parties will hold the Domestication Closing immediately prior to (i) filing a Certificate of Domestication with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, (ii) completing and making and procuring all those filings required to be made with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands in connection with the Domestication, (iii) obtaining a certificate of de-registration from the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands and (iv) completing and making all filings required to be made with the SEC and the Nasdaq Capital Market to list the New Wag! common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. On the business day following the Domestication Closing Date or such later date as the parties may agree in writing that is no more than two business days after the Domestication Closing Date, and no later than three business days after the date of the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, the parties will hold the Acquisition Closing immediately prior to such filing of the certificate of merger with respect to the Acquisition Merger on the Acquisition Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Domestication and the Domestication Closing will all occur at least one day prior to, and independent of, the Acquisition Merger, the Acquisition Closing, and the Acquisition Merger Effective Time and, on the Acquisition Closing Date, the Private Placements will be consummated prior to the Acquisition Merger and the Acquisition Merger Effective Time.

Conversion and Issuance of Securities

Upon the Domestication Closing, by virtue of the Domestication and without any action on the part of CHW, Merger Sub, Wag!, or the holders of any of CHW’s or Wag!’s securities:

•

each then-outstanding CHW ordinary share will be canceled and converted into one share of New Wag! common stock;

•

each then-outstanding CHW warrant will be assumed and converted automatically into a New Wag! warrant; and

149

•

each then-outstanding CHW unit will be canceled and converted into one unit of New Wag!, representing one share of New Wag! common stock and one New Wag! warrant.

On the Acquisition Closing Date and immediately prior to the Acquisition Merger Effective Time, each then-outstanding share of Wag! preferred stock (excluding Series P Shares) will convert automatically into a number of shares of Wag! common stock at the then-effective conversion rate in accordance with the terms of the existing Wag! charter. Each share of Wag! Series P stock is expected to convert in connection with the Conversion on a one-for-one basis into a share of Wag! common stock.

At the Acquisition Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the Acquisition Merger and without any action on the part of New Wag!, Merger Sub, Wag!, or the holders of the following securities:

•

each then-outstanding share of Wag! common stock (including shares of Wag! common stock resulting from the Conversion) will be canceled and converted into (a) the right to receive a number of shares of New Wag! common stock equal to the Exchange Ratio and (b) the contingent right to receive Earnout Shares as additional consideration;

•

all shares of Wag! common stock and Wag! preferred stock held in the treasury of Wag! will be canceled without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution will be made with respect thereto;

•

each then-outstanding share of Series P Shares shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive a number of shares of New Wag! common stock on a one-for-one basis;

•

each then-outstanding share of Merger Sub Common Stock will be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable share of New Wag! common stock;

•

each then-outstanding and unexercised warrant to purchase shares of Wag! common stock (each, a “Wag! Warrant”) will automatically be assumed and converted into a warrant to purchase a number of shares of New Wag! common stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Wag! common stock to such New Wag! warrant and (y) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share of New Wag! common stock equal to (i) the exercise price per share of such Wag! Warrant divided by (ii) the Exchange Ratio;

•

each then-outstanding and unexercised options to purchase shares of Wag! common stock (each, a “Wag! Option”), whether or not vested, will be assumed and converted into (a) an option to purchase a number of shares of New Wag! common stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Wag! common stock subject to such Wag! Option and (y) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share of New Wag! common stock equal to (i) the exercise price per share of such Wag! Option immediately prior to the Acquisition Merger Effective Time divided by (ii) the Exchange Ratio (which option will remain subject to the same vesting terms as such Wag! Option) and (b) the contingent right to receive Earnout Shares as additional consideration; and

•

each then-outstanding restricted stock unit award covering shares of Wag! common stock (each, a “Wag! RSU Award”), will be assumed and converted into (a) an award covering a number of shares of New Wag! common stock (rounded down to the nearest whole number) equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Wag! common stock subject to such award immediately prior to the Acquisition Merger Effective Time and (y) the Exchange Ratio (which award will remain subject to the same vesting and repurchase terms as such Wag! RSU Award) and (b) the contingent right to receive Earnout Shares as additional consideration.

The “Exchange Ratio” means the following ratio (rounded to ten decimal places): (i) the Company Merger Shares divided by (ii) the Company Outstanding Shares.

New Wag! is exploring options to implement a distribution of New Wag! Community Shares to members of the pet wellness and welfare community as identified by our officers and directors. If distributed, the issuance of New Wag! Community Shares is expected to be arranged through and administered by one or more third-party program administrators.

Earnout

During the Earnout Period, within five business days after the occurrence of the Triggering Events described below, New Wag! will issue or cause to be issued to (i) each holder, as of immediately prior to the

150

Acquisition Merger Effective Time, of (a) a share of Wag! common stock (after taking into account the Conversion), or (b) a Wag! Option or a Wag! RSU Award (each, an “Eligible Wag! Equityholder”), with respect to each such triggering event, the following shares of New Wag! common stock (which will be equitably adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combination, exchange of shares or other like change or transaction with respect to New Wag! common stock occurring after the Acquisition Closing) as additional consideration for Wag!’s interest acquired in connection with the Business Combination (the “Earnout Shares”) and (ii) the holders of certain restricted stock units of Wag! (“Management Earnout RSUs”), with respect to each such triggering event, the following shares of New Wag! common stock (which will be equitably adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combination, exchange of shares or other like change or transaction with respect to New Wag! common stock occurring after the Acquisition Closing) (the “Management Earnout Shares”), in each case, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement and the ancillary agreements thereto:

If, during the Earnout Period, there is a change of control pursuant to which New Wag! or its stockholders have the right to receive consideration implying a value per share of New Wag! common stock (as agreed in good faith by the Sponsor and the New Wag! Board) of:

•

less than $12.50, then no Earnout Shares or Management Earnout Shares will be issuable;

•

greater than or equal to $12.50 but less than $15.00, then, (a) immediately prior to such change of control, New Wag! will issue 3,333,333 shares of New Wag! common stock (less any Earnout Shares issued prior to such change of control) to the Eligible Wag! Equityholders with respect to the change of control, (b) immediately prior to such change of control, New Wag! will issue 1,666,667 shares of New Wag! common stock (less any Management Earnout Shares issued prior to such change of control) to the holders of Management Earnout RSUs with respect to the change of control, and (c) no further Earnout Shares or Management Earnout Shares will be issuable;

•

greater than or equal to $15.00 but less than $18.00, then, (a) immediately prior to such change of control, New Wag! will issue 6,666,666 shares of New Wag! common stock (less any Earnout Shares issued prior to such change of control) to the Eligible Wag!

CHW agreed not to, without the prior written consent of Wag! (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), permit any termination of the commitments contained in the Commitment Papers or enter into any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver to the Commitment Papers, in each case, if such termination, amendment, supplement, modification or waiver would (A) reduce the aggregate amount of the Financing to an amount that would be less than the amount that is necessary for CHW to satisfy its payment obligations and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be paid and/or consummated on the Acquisition Closing Date (the “Required Amount”) or (B) impose new or additional conditions precedent to the funding of the Financing on the Acquisition Closing Date or otherwise expand, amend or modify in any material respect any of the existing conditions precedent to the funding of the Financing on the Acquisition Closing Date, in each case, in a manner that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially impede or delay the funding of the Financing.

At our request and as described in the Business Combination Agreement, New Wag! has reserved up to 300,000 shares of common stock offered by this proxy statement/prospectus through a separate community share program to eligible members of the pet wellness and welfare community.

(“DonateStock”), through their respective online brokerage platforms. Wag! intends to offer common stock to two groups in this community share program: (1) eligible Pet Caregivers and (2) eligible domestic pet nonprofit organizations.

Material Adverse Effect (to the extent such Effect is not otherwise excluded from this definition of Wag! Material Adverse Effect), except in the cases of clauses (i) through (iv), to the extent that Wag! and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are disproportionately affected thereby as compared with other similarly situated participants in the industries in which Wag! and its subsidiaries operate.

Wag! Conditions

•

the resignation or removal of certain CHW officers and directors.

Some of the conditions to Wag!’s obligations are qualified by the concept of a “CHW Material Adverse Effect.” Under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, a “CHW Material Adverse Effect” means any Effect that, individually or in the aggregate with all other events, circumstances, changes and effects, (a) would have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, assets, liabilities or operations of CHW or (b) would prevent, materially delay or materially impede the performance by CHW or Merger Sub of their respective obligations under the Business Combination Agreement or the consummation of the Business Combination; provided, however, that none of the following will be deemed to constitute, alone or in combination, or be taken into account in the determination of whether, there has been or will be a CHW Material Adverse Effect: (i) any change or proposed change in or change in the interpretation of any law or GAAP; (ii) events or conditions generally affecting the industries or geographic areas in which CHW operates; (iii) any downturn in general economic conditions, including changes in the credit, debt, securities, financial or capital markets (including changes in interest or exchange rates, prices of any security or market index or commodity or any disruption of such markets); (iv) any geopolitical conditions, outbreak of hostilities, acts of war, sabotage, cyberterrorism, terrorism or military actions (including any escalation or general worsening thereof), or any earthquakes, volcanic activity, hurricanes, tsunamis, tornadoes, floods, mudslides, wild fires or other natural disasters, weather conditions, or other force majeure events, or any epidemic, disease, outbreak or pandemic (including COVID-19 or any COVID-19 measures or any change in such COVID-19 measures or interpretations following the date of the Business Combination Agreement), and including any impact of such pandemics on the health of any officer, employee or consultant of Wag! or any subsidiaries of Wag!; (v) any actions taken or not taken by CHW or Merger Sub as required by the Business Combination Agreement or at the request of, or with the written consent of, Wag!; (vi) any Effect attributable to the announcement or execution, pendency, negotiation or consummation of the Business Combination (including the impact thereof on relationships with customers, suppliers, employees or governmental authorities) (provided that this clause (vi) will not apply to any representation or warranty to the extent the purpose of such representation or warranty is to address the consequences resulting from the Business Combination Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby); or (vii) the accounting treatment of the CHW warrants or the New Wag! warrants, except in the cases of clauses (i) through (iv) and clause (vii), to the extent that CHW is disproportionately affected thereby as compared with other similarly situated participants in the industry in which CHW operates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of redemptions from the Trust Account pursuant to the exercise of redemption rights will not be deemed to be a CHW Material Adverse Effect.

165

•

by CHW upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Wag! set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of Wag! will have become untrue, in either case such that certain conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement would not be satisfied (a “Terminating Wag! Breach”); provided, that CHW has not waived such Terminating Wag! Breach and CHW and Merger Sub are not then in material breach of their representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in the Business Combination Agreement; provided, further, that, if such Terminating Wag!

Effect of Termination

Related Agreements

Series P Preferred Stock Offering

In connection with entering into the Business Combination Agreement, on January 28, 2022, the Series P Investors have purchased Series P Shares, in an aggregate principal amount of $11 million in a private placement, issuable pursuant to the Series P Subscription Agreements. The Series P Shares are subject to transfer restrictions as set forth in the Series P Subscription Agreements. Wag! intends to use the proceeds from the sale of the Series P Shares for general working capital or to fund acquisitions of accretive business targets. Closing of the Investment was not conditioned in any manner whatsoever on the closing of the Business Combination and occurred promptly following the signing of the Series P Subscription Agreements. None of the Sponsor or CHW’s officers, directors or their affiliates, is an Investor in the Series P Investment.

Each share of the Series P Shares is convertible, at any time at the option of the Series P Investors, into Wag! common stock and the number of shares of Wag! common stock a Series P Investor will receive upon exercise of the conversion right will equal the product obtained by multiplying the applicable conversion rate for the Series P Shares then in effect by the number of Series P Shares being converted; provided, that the Series P Shares may not be converted to Wag! common stock at any time prior to the occurrence of a Series P Price Adjustment Event (as defined in the Series P Subscription Agreements).

Each holder of Series P Shares shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Wag! common stock into which such Series P Shares could be converted immediately after the close of business on the record date fixed for such meeting or the effective date of such written consent and shall have voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the Wag! common stock and shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of Wag!. Except as otherwise provided herein or as required by law, the holders of the Series P Shares shall vote together with the holders of Wag! common stock on an as-converted basis at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders and not as a separate class, and may act by written consent in the same manner as the Wag! common stock.

The Series P Investors shall be entitled to receive dividends, out of any assets legally available therefore, prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any dividend (payable other than in shares of Wag! common stock) on the Wag! common stock, at the Dividend Rate (as defined below), payable when, as and if declared by Wag!’s board of directors. Such dividends shall not be cumulative. The Series P Investors can waive any dividend preference that they shall be entitled to receive upon the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding Series P Shares (voting together as a single class and on an as-converted basis). “Dividend Rate” shall mean $0.8000 per annum for each Series P Share (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations, and the like with respect to such shares, including, the issuance of Adjustment Series P Shares). After payment by Wag! of all of the Wag! preferred stock dividends declared by the board of directors of Wag!, any additional dividends or distributions shall be distributed among all holders of Wag! common stock and Wag! preferred stock in proportion to the number of shares of Wag! common stock that would be held by each such holder if all shares of Wag! preferred stock were converted to Wag! common stock at the then effective conversion rate.

Upon any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of Wag!, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation Event”), before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any Wag! preferred stock and Wag! common stock, the holders of Wag! preferred stock (including the Series P Investors) shall be entitled to be paid, out of the assets of Wag! legally available for distribution (or the consideration received by Wag! or its stockholders in an Acquisition or Asset Transfer (each as defined in the Seventh Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Wag!), an amount per share equal to the applicable original issue price for such Wag! preferred stock plus any declared and unpaid dividends on such share (the “Liquidation Preference”). If, upon any such Liquidation Event, the assets of the Company shall be insufficient to make payment in full to all holders of Wag! preferred stock of the Liquidation Preference, then such assets (or consideration) shall be distributed among the holders of such Wag! preferred stock at the time outstanding, ratably in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled. After the payment of the full Liquidation Preference, the remaining assets of Wag! legally available for distribution (or the consideration received by Wag! or its stockholders in an Acquisition or Asset Transfer), if any, shall be distributed ratably to the holders of the Wag! common stock.

167

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon any Liquidation Event, (including an Acquisition or Asset Transfer), each holder of the Series P Shares shall be entitled to receive, for each such share then held, out of the proceeds available for distribution, the greater of (i) Liquidation Preference, or (ii) the amount of cash, securities, or other property such holder would be entitled to receive in a Liquidation Event with respect to such shares if such shares had been converted to Wag! common stock immediately prior to such Liquidation Event or Acquisition or Asset Transfer.

The Series P Shares are not redeemable at the option of the Series P Investors.

The Series P Shares issued in the Series P Investment were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

CHW’s stockholders, in particular non-redeeming stockholders, may experience dilution as a consequence of, among other transactions, the Series P Investment.

PIPE and Backstop Subscription Agreement

In connection with entering into the Business Combination Agreement, on February 2, 2022, CHW entered into the PIPE and Backstop Subscription Agreement with a certain qualified institutional buyer (the “PIPE and Backstop Investor”), as modified and supplemented by that certain side letter agreement between CHW and the PIPE and Backstop Investor, dated June 30, 2022, pursuant to which, among other things, the PIPE and Backstop Investor agreed to purchase from CHW, and not in the open market, an aggregate of up to 500,000 shares of common stock following the Domestication and immediately prior to the Closing at a cash purchase price of $10.00 per share, resulting in aggregate proceeds of $5 million (the “PIPE and Backstop Investment”). The proceeds from the sale of the PIPE and Backstop Securities will be made available to New Wag! at the Closing for general corporate purposes and will be counted for purposes of satisfying the “minimum cash” condition to Wag’s obligation to consummate the Business Combination.

The PIPE and Backstop Securities will be purchased by the PIPE and Backstop Investor at a price no higher than the redemption price. All shares purchased by PIPE and Backstop Investor will not be voted in connection with the proposed Business Combination. The PIPE and Backstop Investor does not have any redemption rights with respect to any of the PIPE and Backstop Securities.

The PIPE and Backstop Subscription Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of CHW and the PIPE and Backstop Investor. The PIPE and Backstop Subscription Agreement includes customary closing conditions which include (i) absence of any amendment or modification to the Business Combination Agreement that is material and adverse to the PIPE and Backstop Investor); and (ii) the right to terminate the PIPE and Backstop Subscription Agreement if the transactions contemplated in the Business Combination Agreement have not been consummated by November 6, 2022, other than as a result of breach by the terminating party).

For avoidance of doubt, the PIPE and Backstop will not include the Sponsor, any of the NAAC directors, officers, or their affiliates.

There are important differences between the rights of holders of shares of common stock and holders of CHW ordinary shares. See “The Domestication Proposal — Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholders” for a discussion of the different rights associated with holding these securities. In addition, the CHW ordinary shares were originally sold in the CHW IPO as a component of the CHW units for $10.00 per unit. The CHW units consist of one ordinary share and one redeemable CHW warrant.

Stockholder Support Agreement

Wag! has delivered to CHW the Stockholder Support Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, the Key Wag! Stockholders, whose ownership interests collectively represent the outstanding Wag! common stock and Wag! preferred stock (voting on an as-converted basis) sufficient to approve the Business Combination on behalf of Wag!, will agree to support the approval and adoption of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, including agreeing to execute and deliver the Written Consent, within 48 hours of the Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC in connection with the Business Combination becoming effective. The Stockholder Support Agreement will terminate upon the earliest to occur of (a) the Acquisition Merger Effective Time, (b) the date of the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, and (c) the effective date of a written agreement of CHW, Wag!, and

168

the Wag! stockholders party thereto terminating the Stockholder Support Agreement (the “Expiration Time”). The Key Wag! Stockholders also agreed, until the Expiration Time, to certain transfer restrictions (excluding the Conversion).

CHW Founders Stock Letter

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the CHW Founder Shareholders entered into the CHW Founders Stock Letter with CHW and Wag!, which we refer to as the “CHW Founders Stock Letter,” pursuant to which, among other things, CHW, Wag!, the CHW Founder Shareholders agreed, with respect to 360,750 Founder Shares (as defined below) (the “Forfeiture Shares”), during the period commencing on the date of the Business Combination Agreement and ending on the earlier of (A) the date that is three years after the Acquisition Closing, (B) the date on which the Forfeiture Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture, (C) subsequent to the Acquisition Closing, the consummation of a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the New Wag! stockholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property, and (D) the valid termination of the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor will not to (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase, or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder with respect to, any Forfeiture Shares, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Forfeiture Shares, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clauses (i) or (ii), subject to certain exceptions.

The number of Forfeiture Shares subject to potential forfeiture will be determined as follows:

upon the occurrence of Triggering Event II, within the time period beginning on the Acquisition Closing Date and ending on the three-year anniversary of the Acquisition Closing Date, then an additional 120,250 Sponsor Forfeiture Shares will no longer be subject to forfeiture;

upon the occurrence of Triggering Event III, within the time period beginning on the Acquisition Closing Date and ending on the three-year anniversary of the Acquisition Closing Date, then an additional 120,250 will no longer be subject to forfeiture, and no Forfeiture Shares will thereafter be subject to forfeiture; and

•

On the date that is the three-year anniversary of the Acquisition Closing Date, the Sponsor will forfeit all Forfeiture Shares which remain subject to forfeiture, if any.

If, during the three-year period beginning on the first day after the Acquisition Closing, there is a change of control pursuant to which New Wag! or its stockholders have the right to receive consideration implying a value per share of New Wag! common stock (as agreed in good faith by the Sponsor and the New Wag! Board) of:

•

less than $12.50, then immediately prior to such Change of Control, the Sponsor shall forfeit 360,750 Forfeiture Shares;

•

greater than or equal to $12.50 but less than $15.00, then (A) immediately prior to such change of control, the Sponsor shall forfeit 240,500 Forfeiture Shares, and (B) thereafter, the Forfeiture Shares shall no longer be subject to forfeiture;

•

greater than or equal to $15.00 but less than $18.00, then (A) immediately prior to such change of control, the Sponsor shall forfeit 120,250 Forfeiture Shares, and (B) thereafter, the Forfeiture Shares shall no longer be subject to forfeiture; or

•

greater than or equal to $18.00, then (A) the Sponsor shall forfeit zero Forfeiture Shares, and (B) thereafter, the Forfeiture Shares shall no longer be subject to forfeiture.

169

The price targets set forth above shall be equitably adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combination, exchange of shares or other like change or transaction with respect to New Wag! common stock occurring after the Acquisition Closing.

The CHW Founder Shareholders also agreed to (i) comply with the non-solicitation and certain other provisions in the Business Combination Agreement; (ii) vote all ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of CHW (for all periods prior to the completion of the Domestication, “Founders Shares”) held by the Sponsor in favor of the Condition Precedent Proposals and in favor of the adoption and approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination; and (iii) forfeit to CHW for cancellation for no consideration, (A) 15% of the Founders Shares and the warrants to purchase ordinary shares of CHW, with each whole warrant exercisable for one ordinary share of CHW at an exercise price of $11.50 (prior to the Domestication, “Founders Warrants” and together with Founders Shares, collectively, “Founders Equity”) indirectly owned by Jonah Raskas and Mark Grundman, if the aggregate amount of cash proceeds made available from the Trust Account to New Wag! at the Acquisition Merger Closing, after giving effect to the payment of any cash proceeds required to satisfy exercises of certain redemption rights provided for in the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (but before the payment of any unpaid transaction expenses), is less than 10% of the funds in the Trust Account as of the date of the CHW Founders Stock Letter (without including any funds in the Trust Account with respect to any shares of common stock acquired by the PIPE and Backstop Investor). The composition of such 15% of the Founders Equity (i.e., the number of Founders Shares and the number of Founders Warrants as of the date of the CHW Founders Stock Letter) subject to forfeiture will be determined in the CHW Founder Shareholders’ sole discretion, and (B) 20,000 shares of the Founders Equity, if 300,000 New Wag! Community Shares are issued in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement. In accordance with the CHW Founders Stock Letter, CHW expects CHW Founder Shareholders to vote their shares in favor of all proposals being presented at the Special Meeting of CHW’s shareholders. No consideration was paid to the CHW Founder Shareholders in exchange for their agreeing to vote all ordinary shares held by the Sponsor in favor of the Business Combination.

Lock-Up Agreement

In connection with the Business Combination, CHW and the Key Wag! Stockholders entered into a lock-up agreement, which we refer to as the “Lock-Up Agreement.” Pursuant to the Lock-Up Agreement, approximately 70% of the aggregate issued and outstanding securities of Wag! will be subject to the restrictions described below from the Acquisition Closing until the termination of applicable lock-up periods.

CHW and the Key Wag! Stockholders have agreed not to, without the prior written consent of the Audit Committee of the New Wag! Board and subject to certain exceptions, during the applicable lock-up period:

•

sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer, dispose of or agree to transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, any shares of New Wag! common stock held by it immediately after the Acquisition Merger Effective Time or issued or issuable to it in connection with the Acquisition Merger (including New Wag! common stock acquired as part of the PIPE and Backstop Investment or issued in exchange for, or on conversion or exercise of, any securities issued as part of the PIPE and Backstop Investment), any shares of New Wag! common stock issuable upon the exercise of options to purchase shares of New Wag! common stock held by it immediately after the Acquisition Merger Effective Time, or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for New Wag! common stock held by it immediately after the Acquisition Merger Effective Time (the “Lock-Up Shares”);

•

enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any of the Lock-Up Shares, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise; or

•

publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in the foregoing clauses.

Pursuant to the Lock-Up Agreement, CHW and the Key Wag! Stockholders agreed to the foregoing transfer restrictions during the period beginning on the Acquisition Closing Date and ending on the date that is the earlier of (x) 180 days after the Acquisition Closing Date and (y) the date on which New Wag!

170

completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transactions that result in all of New Wag!’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property.

Furthermore, shares of New Wag! Common Stock issuable to holders of Wag! common stock and Wag! preferred stock as of immediately prior to the Acquisition Merger, as well as the shares of New Wag! Common Stock issuable in respect of any Wag! Options, Wag! Warrants and Wag! RSUs outstanding as of immediately prior to the Acquisition Merger (other than shares of New Wag! Common Stock held by persons entering into Lock-Up Agreements) will be subject to substantially similar restrictions to those contained in the Lock-Up Agreements pursuant to the Proposed Bylaws. The lock-up provisions of the Proposed Bylaws will not be binding on holders of CHW stock who receive shares of New Wag! Common Stock in the transactions.

CHW expects that, in the event that none of CHW’s public shareholders exercise redemption rights (consistent with the assumptions set forth in the first column of the table on page 18 of this proxy statement/​prospectus) and 66,775,821 total shares of New Wag! are outstanding upon closing of the Business Combination, in the aggregate, approximately 37,723,636 shares of New Wag! Common Stock will be subject to lock-up arrangements pursuant to either a Lock-Up Agreement, the lock-up provisions of the IPO Letter Agreement or the lock-up provisions of the Proposed Bylaws, which represents approximately 56.5% of the shares of New Wag! Common Stock expected to be issued and outstanding as of immediately following the Business Combination in that scenario. CHW expects that, in the event that 100% of CHW’s public shareholders exercise redemption rights (consistent with the assumptions in the third column of the table on page 18 of this proxy statement/prospectus) and 53,306,783 total shares of New Wag! are outstanding upon closing of the Business Combination, in the aggregate, approximately 37,380,264 shares of New Wag! Common Stock will be subject to lock-up arrangements pursuant to either a Lock-Up Agreement, the lock-up provisions of the IPO Letter Agreement or the lock-up provisions of the Proposed Bylaws, which represents approximately 70.1% of the shares of New Wag! Common Stock expected to be issued and outstanding as of immediately following the Business Combination in that scenario.

Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the Business Combination, that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated August 10, 2021, by and among CHW and certain persons and entities holding securities of CHW (the “IPO Registration Rights Agreement”), will be amended and restated, and New Wag!, the Sponsor, certain persons and entities holding securities of CHW prior to the Closing (together with the Sponsor, the “CHW Holders”) and certain persons and entities holding securities of Wag! prior to the Closing (the “Wag Holders,” together with the CHW Holders, the “Registration Rights Holders”) will enter into the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement substantially in the form attached to this proxy statement/​prospectus as Annex D. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, New Wag! will agree that, within 30 calendar days after the consummation of the Business Combination, New Wag! will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC (at New Wag!’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of certain securities held by or issuable to the Registration Rights Holders (the “Resale Registration Statement”), and New Wag! will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Resale Registration Statement declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof. In certain circumstances, the CHW Holders can demand up to three underwritten offerings and certain of the Wag Holders can demand up to three underwritten offerings, and all of the Registration Rights Holders can demand up to four block trades within any 12-month period and will be entitled to customary piggyback registration rights. The Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement does not provide for the payment of any cash penalties by New Wag! if it fails to satisfy any of its obligations under the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement.

Common Stock held by persons entering into Lock-Up Agreements) will be subject to substantially similar restrictions to those contained in the Lock-Up Agreements pursuant to the Proposed Bylaws. The lock-up provisions of the Proposed Bylaws will not be binding on holders of CHW stock who receive shares of New Wag! Common Stock in the transactions.

•

to provide that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction thereof, another state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, shall be the exclusive forum for certain actions and claims;

Recommendation of CHW’s Board of Directors

CHW’s board of directors has determined that the Business Combination Proposal is in the best interests of CHW and its shareholders, has approved the Business Combination Proposal, and recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the Domestication Proposal , “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the Organizational Documents Proposal, “FOR” each of the Advisory Charter Proposals, “FOR” the Nasdaq Proposal, “FOR” the Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal, “FOR” the ESPP Proposal and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, in each case, if presented to the Special Meeting.

The existence of financial and personal interests of CHW’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of the directors between what he or they may believe is in the best interests of CHW and its shareholders and what he or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of CHW Directors and Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion.

173

Record Date; Who Is Entitled to Vote

CHW has fixed the close of business on June 28, 2022, as the “record date” for determining CHW shareholders entitled to notice of and to attend and vote at the Special Meeting. As of the close of business on June 28, 2022, there were 15,687,500 ordinary shares outstanding and entitled to vote. Each ordinary share is entitled to one vote per share at the general meeting.

In connection with our initial public offering, our initial shareholders (consisting of our Sponsor) and our independent directors at the time of our initial public offering entered into letter agreements to vote their founder shares, as well as any public shares purchased during or after our initial public offering, in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and we also expect them to vote their shares in favor of all other Shareholder Proposals in accordance with the terms of the CHW Founders Stock Letter. As of the date hereof, our Sponsor owns approximately 15% of our total outstanding ordinary shares.

Quorum

The presence, in person, virtually or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding ordinary shares entitled to vote constitutes a quorum at the general meeting.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Proxies that are marked “abstain” and proxies relating to “street name” shares that are returned to CHW but marked by brokers as “not voted” will be treated as shares present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum on all matters. They will also not be treated as shares voted on the matter. If a shareholder does not give the broker voting instructions, under applicable self-regulatory organization rules, its broker may not vote its shares on “non-routine” proposals, such as the Domestication Proposal and the Business Combination Proposal.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Domestication Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, vote at the Special Meeting. The Domestication Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal. Therefore, if the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Domestication Proposal will have no effect, even if approved.

The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, vote at the Special Meeting.

The approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, vote at the Special Meeting. The Organizational Documents Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Domestication Proposal, and, therefore, also conditioned on approval of the Business Combination Proposal. Therefore, if the Business Combination Proposal or the Domestication Proposal is not approved, the Organizational Documents Proposal will have no effect, even if approved.

The approval of any of the Advisory Charter Proposals is not otherwise required by Cayman Islands law or Delaware law separate and apart from the Organizational Documents Proposal, but pursuant to SEC guidance, CHW is required to submit these provisions to its stockholders separately for approval. However, the stockholder votes regarding these proposals are advisory votes, and are not binding on CHW or the CHW Board (separate and apart from the approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal). Furthermore, the Business Combination is not conditioned on the separate approval of the Advisory Charter Proposals (separate and apart from approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal).

The approval of the Nasdaq Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the holders of the ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, vote at the Special Meeting. The Nasdaq Proposal is conditioned on the approval

174

of the Organizational Documents Proposal, and, therefore, also conditioned on approval of the Domestication Proposal and the Business Combination Proposal. Therefore, if the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal or the Organizational Documents Proposal is not approved, the Nasdaq Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by our public shareholders.

The approval of the Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, vote at the Special Meeting. The Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Nasdaq Proposal and, therefore, also conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, and the Organizational Documents Proposals. Therefore, if any of those proposals is not approved, the Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by CHW’s public shareholders.

The approval of the ESPP Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, vote at the Special Meeting. The ESPP Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Nasdaq Proposal and, therefore, also conditioned on the approval of the Domestication Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, and the Organizational Documents Proposals.

Therefore, if any of those proposals is not approved, the ESPP Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by CHW’s public shareholders.

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, vote at the Special Meeting. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon any other proposal.

In each case, abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as a vote cast at the Special Meeting.

Voting Your Shares

Each ordinary share that you own in your name entitles you to one vote. Your proxy card shows the number of ordinary shares that you own. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly voted.

There are two ways to vote your ordinary shares at the Special Meeting:

•

You Can Vote By Signing and Returning the Enclosed Proxy Card.   If you vote by proxy card, your “proxy,” whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares will be voted as recommended by CHW’s board “FOR” the Domestication Proposal, “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” each of the separate Organizational Documents Proposal, “FOR” the Nasdaq Proposal, “FOR” the Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal, “FOR” the ESPP Proposal and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, in each case, if presented to the Special Meeting. Votes received after a matter has been voted upon at the Special Meeting will not be counted.

•

You Can Attend the Special Meeting and Vote in Person.   You will receive a ballot when you arrive. However, if your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or another nominee, you must get a valid legal proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way CHW can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares.

Revoking Your Proxy

If you are a CHW shareholder and you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by doing any one of the following:

•

you may send another proxy card with a later date;

175

•

you may notify Advantage Proxy, Inc., CHW’s proxy solicitor, in writing before the Special Meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or

•

you may attend the Special Meeting, revoke your proxy, and vote in person or virtually, as indicated above.

Who Can Answer Your Questions About Voting Your Shares

If you are a shareholder and have any questions about how to vote or direct a vote in respect of your ordinary shares, you may contact CHW’s proxy solicitor at:

Redemption Rights

Public shareholders may seek to redeem the public shares that they hold, regardless of whether they vote for the Business Combination, against the Business Combination or do not vote in relation to the Business Combination. Any public shareholder may request redemption of their public shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, 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, including interest (less taxes paid or payable, if any, and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares. If a holder properly seeks redemption as described in this section and the Business Combination is consummated, the holder will no longer own these shares following the Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such holder or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group” ​(as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to 15% or more of the public shares. Accordingly, if a public shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

CHW’s initial shareholders will not have redemption rights with respect to any ordinary shares owned by them, directly or indirectly.

You will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:

(i)

hold (a) public shares or (b) public shares through units and you elect to separate your units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares; and

(ii)

prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on July 26, 2022, (a) submit a written request to the transfer agent that CHW redeem your public shares for cash and (b) deliver your share certificates for your public shares (if any) to the transfer agent, physically or electronically through DTC.

If you hold the shares in street name, you will have to coordinate with your broker to have your shares certificated or delivered electronically. Public shares that have not been tendered (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be redeemed for cash. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker $80 and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming shareholder. In the event the Business Combination is not consummated this may result in an additional cost to shareholders for the return of their shares.

176

Holders of units must elect to separate the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If holders hold their units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and public warrants, or if a holder holds units registered in its own name, the holder must contact the transfer agent, directly and instruct them to do so.

A CHW shareholder may not withdraw a redemption request once submitted to CHW unless the board of directors of CHW determines (in its sole discretion) to permit the withdrawal of such redemption request (which they may do in whole or in part). Furthermore, if a holder of a public share delivers its certificate (if any) and other redemption forms in connection with an election of its redemption and subsequently decides prior to the applicable date not to elect to exercise such rights, it may simply request CHW to permit the withdrawal of the redemption request and instruct its transfer agent to return the certificate (physically or electronically). The holder can make such request by contacting the transfer agent, at the address or email address listed in this proxy statement/prospectus.

If the Business Combination is not approved or completed for any reason, then CHW’s public shareholders who elected to exercise their redemption rights will not be entitled to redeem their shares. In such case, CHW will promptly return any shares previously delivered by public holders.

The closing price of ordinary shares on June 28, 2022, the record date, was $9.90. Prior to exercising redemption rights, shareholders should verify the market price of ordinary shares as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their ordinary shares in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. CHW cannot assure its shareholders that they will be able to sell their ordinary shares in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when its shareholders wish to sell their shares.

If a public shareholder exercises its redemption rights, then it will be exchanging its redeemed public shares for cash and will no longer own those public shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for your public shares only if you properly exercise your right to redeem the public shares that you will hold upon the Domestication, No later than the close of the vote on the Business Combination Proposal, and deliver your ordinary shares (either physically or electronically) to the transfer agent, prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 26, 2022, and the Business Combination is consummated.

In order for public shareholders to exercise their redemption rights in respect of the Business Combination, public shareholders must properly exercise their right to redeem the public shares that you will hold upon the Domestication no later than the close of the vote on the Business Combination Proposal and deliver their ordinary shares (either physically or electronically) to the transfer agent, prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time on July 26, 2022. Therefore, the exercise of redemption rights occurs prior to the Domestication. For the purposes of Article 48.5 of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of CHW and Cayman Islands law, the exercise of redemption rights shall be treated as an election to have such public shares repurchased for cash and references in this proxy statement/prospectus shall be interpreted accordingly. Immediately following the Domestication and the consummation of the business combination, public shareholders who properly exercised their redemption rights in respect of their public shares shall be paid.

No Appraisal Rights

Neither CHW shareholders nor CHW warrant holders have appraisal rights in connection with the business combination or the Domestication under Cayman Islands law or under the DGCL.

Proxy Solicitation Costs

CHW is soliciting proxies on behalf of its board of directors. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone or in person. CHW and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other electronic means. CHW will bear the cost of the solicitation.

177

CHW has engaged Advantage Proxy, Inc. to assist in the proxy solicitation process. CHW will pay that firm a fee of $10,000, with expenses estimated to be $1,500. Such fee will be paid with non-Trust Account funds.

CHW will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward the proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. CHW will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

178

PROPOSAL NO. 1 — THE DOMESTICATION PROPOSAL

Overview

As discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus, if the Business Combination Proposal is approved, then CHW is asking its shareholders to approve the Domestication Proposal. Under the Business Combination Agreement, the approval of the Domestication Proposal is also a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination. If, however, the Domestication Proposal is approved, but the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, then neither the Domestication nor the Business Combination will be consummated.

As a condition to closing the Business Combination pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, the board of directors of CHW has approved a change of CHW’s jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware by deregistering as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands and continuing and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”). To effect the Domestication, CHW will file a notice of deregistration with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, together with the necessary accompanying documents, and file a certificate of incorporation and a certificate of corporate Domestication with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, under which CHW will be domesticated and continue as a Delaware corporation. On the effective date of the Domestication, (a) each outstanding ordinary share will automatically convert into one share of common stock and (b) the outstanding warrants to purchase ordinary shares will automatically become exercisable, at the same per share exercise price and for the same number of shares of common stock as in effect immediately prior to the Domestication. In addition, at a moment in time after the effectiveness of the Domestication and before the closing of the Business Combination, each outstanding unit (each of which will consist of one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock) will be separated into its component common stock and warrant.

The Domestication Proposal, if approved, will approve a change of CHW’s jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware. Accordingly, while CHW is currently governed by the Cayman Islands Companies Act, upon Domestication, CHW will be governed by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). We urge shareholders to carefully consult the information set out below under “The Domestication Proposal — Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholder Rights.” Additionally, we note that if the Domestication Proposal is approved, then CHW will also ask its shareholders to approve the Organizational Documents Proposal (discussed below), which, if approved, will replace our current amended and restated memorandum and articles of association under the Cayman Islands law (the “Existing Organizational Documents”) with a new certificate of incorporation and bylaws of New Wag! under the DGCL (the “Proposed Organizational Documents”). The Proposed Organizational Documents differ in certain material respects from the Existing Organizational Documents and we urge shareholders to carefully consult the information set out below under “The Organizational Documents Proposal,” the Existing Organizational Documents of CHW, attached hereto as Annex H and the Proposed Charter and Proposed Bylaws, attached hereto as Annex B and Annex C, respectively.

Reasons for the Domestication

Our board of directors believes that there are significant advantages to CHW that will arise as a result of a change of domicile to Delaware. Further, our board of directors believes that any direct benefit that Delaware law provides to a corporation also indirectly benefits the shareholders, who are the owners of the corporation. The board of directors believes that there are several reasons why a reincorporation in Delaware is in the best interests of CHW and its shareholders, including:

Prominence, Predictability, and Flexibility of Delaware Law.   For many years Delaware has followed a policy of encouraging incorporation in its state and, in furtherance of that policy, has been a leader in adopting, construing, and implementing comprehensive, flexible corporate laws responsive to the legal and business needs of corporations organized under its laws. Many corporations have chosen Delaware initially as a state of incorporation or have subsequently changed corporate domicile to Delaware. Because of Delaware’s prominence as the state of incorporation for many major corporations, both the legislature and courts in Delaware have demonstrated the ability and a willingness to act quickly and effectively to meet changing business needs. The DGCL is frequently revised and updated to accommodate changing legal

179

and business needs and is more comprehensive, widely used and interpreted than other state corporate laws. This favorable corporate and regulatory environment is attractive to businesses such as ours. Based on publicly available data, over half of publicly-traded corporations in the United States and over 67% of all Fortune 500 companies are incorporated in Delaware.

Well-Established Principles of Corporate Governance.   There is substantial judicial precedent in the Delaware courts as to the legal principles applicable to measures that may be taken by a corporation and to the conduct of a corporation’s board of directors, such as under the business judgment rule and other standards. Because the judicial system is based largely on legal precedents, the abundance of Delaware case law provides clarity and predictability to many areas of corporate law. Such clarity would be advantageous to CHW, its board of directors and management to make corporate decisions and take corporate actions with greater assurance as to the validity and consequences of those decisions and actions. Further, investors and securities professionals are generally more familiar with Delaware corporations, and the laws governing such corporations, increasing their level of comfort with Delaware corporations relative to other jurisdictions. The Delaware courts have developed considerable expertise in dealing with corporate issues, and a substantial body of case law has developed construing Delaware law and establishing public policies with respect to corporate legal affairs. Moreover, Delaware’s vast body of law on the fiduciary duties of directors provides appropriate protection for CHW’s shareholders from possible abuses by directors and officers.

Increased Ability to Attract and Retain Qualified Directors.   Reincorporation from the Cayman Islands to Delaware is attractive to directors, officers, and shareholders alike. CHW’s incorporation in Delaware may make CHW more attractive to future candidates for our board of directors, because many such candidates are already familiar with Delaware corporate law from their past business experience. To date, we have not experienced difficulty in retaining directors or officers, but directors of public companies are exposed to significant potential liability. Thus, candidates’ familiarity and comfort with Delaware laws — especially those relating to director indemnification (as discussed below) — draw such qualified candidates to Delaware corporations. Our board of directors therefore believes that providing the benefits afforded directors by Delaware law will enable New Wag!, following completion of the Business Combination, to compete more effectively with other public companies in the recruitment of talented and experienced directors and officers. Moreover, Delaware’s vast body of law on the fiduciary duties of directors provides appropriate protection for our shareholders from possible abuses by directors and officers.

The frequency of claims and litigation pursued against directors and officers has greatly expanded the risks facing directors and officers of corporations in carrying out their respective duties. The amount of time and money required to respond to such claims and to defend such litigation can be substantial. While both Cayman Islands and Delaware law permit a corporation to include a provision in its governing documents to reduce or eliminate the monetary liability of directors for breaches of fiduciary duty in certain circumstances, we believe that, in general, Delaware law is more developed and provides more guidance than Cayman Islands law on matters regarding a corporation’s ability to limit director liability. As a result, we believe that the corporate environment afforded by Delaware will enable the surviving corporation to compete more effectively with other public companies in attracting and retaining new directors.

Anticipated Accounting Treatment of the Domestication

There will be no accounting effect or change in the carrying amount of the consolidated assets and liabilities of CHW as a result of Domestication. The business, capitalization, assets and liabilities and financial statements of CHW immediately following the Domestication will be the same as those of CHW immediately prior to the Domestication.

Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholders

CHW is an exempted company incorporated under the Cayman Islands Companies Act. The Cayman Islands Companies Act and CHW’s Existing Organizational Documents govern the rights of its shareholders. The Cayman Islands Companies Act differs in some material respects from laws generally applicable to United States corporations and their shareholders. In addition, the Existing Organizational Documents will differ in certain material respects from the Proposed Organizational Documents. As a result, when you become a stockholder of New Wag!, your rights will differ in some regards as compared to when you were a shareholder of CHW.

180

Below is a summary chart outlining important similarities and differences in the corporate governance and stockholder/shareholder rights associated with each of CHW and New Wag! according to applicable law and/or the organizational documents of CHW and New Wag!. You also should review the Proposed Charter and Proposed Bylaws attached hereto as Annex B and Annex C, respectively, to this proxy statement/​prospectus, as well as the Delaware corporate law and corporate laws of the Cayman Islands, including the Cayman Islands Companies Act, to understand how these laws apply to CHW and New Wag!.

​	Delaware	Cayman Islands
Stockholder/Shareholder Approval of Business Combinations	Mergers generally require approval of a majority of all outstanding shares.	Mergers require a special resolution, and any other authorization as may be specified in the relevant articles of association. Parties holding certain security interests in the constituent companies must also consent.
​	Mergers in which less than 20% of the acquirer’s stock is issued generally do not require acquirer stockholder approval.	All mergers (other than parent/​subsidiary mergers) require shareholder approval — there is No exception for smaller mergers.
​	Mergers in which one corporation owns 90% or more of a second corporation may be completed without the vote of the second corporation’s board of directors or stockholders.	Where a bidder has acquired 90% or more of the shares in a Cayman Islands company, it can compel the acquisition of the shares of the remaining shareholders and thereby become the sole shareholder. A Cayman Islands company may also be acquired through a “scheme of arrangement” sanctioned by a Cayman Islands court and approved by 50% + 1 in number and 75% in value of shareholders in attendance and voting at a general meeting.
Stockholder/Shareholder Votes for Routine Matters	Generally, approval of routine corporate matters that are put to a stockholder vote require the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter.	Under the Cayman Islands Companies Act the Existing Organizational Documents, routine corporate matters may be approved by an ordinary resolution (being a resolution passed by a simple majority of the shareholders as being entitled to do so).
Appraisal Rights	Generally a stockholder of a publicly traded corporation does not have appraisal rights in connection with a merger, except in certain circumstances.	Minority shareholders that dissent from a merger are entitled to be paid the fair market value of their shares, which if necessary may ultimately be determined by the court.

In the Cayman Islands, the decision to institute proceedings on behalf of a company is generally taken by the company’s board of directors. A shareholder may be entitled to bring a derivative action on behalf of the company, but only in certain limited circumstances.
Fiduciary Duties of Directors	Directors must exercise a duty of care and duty of loyalty and good faith to the company and its stockholders.	A director owes fiduciary duties to a company, including to exercise loyalty, honesty and good faith to the company as a whole.

Resolution to be Voted Upon

The full text of the resolution to be proposed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as a special resolution, that CHW be de-registered in the Cayman Islands pursuant to Article 46 of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of CHW (annexed to the prospectus/proxy statement as Annex H, the “Existing Organizational Documents”) and be registered by way of continuation as a corporation in the State of Delaware and conditional upon, and with effect from, the registration of CHW in the State of Delaware as a corporation with the laws of the State of Delaware, the name of CHW Acquisition Corporation be changed to “Wag!

Recommendation of the CHW Board of Directors

CHW’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT ITS SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE DOMESTICATION PROPOSAL.

183

PROPOSAL NO. 2 — THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL

Holders of CHW ordinary shares are being asked to approve the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination. CHW shareholders should read carefully this proxy statement/prospectus in its entirety for more detailed information concerning the Business Combination Agreement, substantially in the form attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/​prospectus. Please see the sections entitled “The Business Combination Agreement” in this proxy statement/​prospectus for additional information regarding the Business Combination and a summary of certain terms of the Business Combination Agreement. You are urged to read carefully the Business Combination Agreement in its entirety before voting on this proposal.

CHW may consummate the Business Combination only if it is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, vote at the Special Meeting.

Resolution to be Voted Upon

The full text of the resolution to be proposed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that CHW’s entry into the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of February 2, 2022, by and among CHW, Wag! and the other parties thereto (in the form attached to the proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A), and the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination be confirmed, ratified and approved in all respects.”

Interests of CHW Directors and Officers in the Business Combination

In considering the recommendation of the board of directors of CHW to vote in favor of approval of the Domestication Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposal and the other Shareholder Proposals, shareholders should keep in mind that certain members of the board of directors and officers of CHW and the Sponsor, including its directors and officers, have interests in such proposals that are different from, or in addition to, those of CHW’s shareholders generally. In particular:

•

If CHW does not consummate a business combination by December 1, 2022 (unless such date is extended in accordance with the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association), it would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming all of the outstanding ordinary shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating, subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, the 12,500,000 ordinary shares would be worthless because following the redemption of the public shares, CHW would likely have few, if any, net assets and because the holders of our founder shares have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the founder shares if we fail to complete a Business Combination within the required period.

•

The Sponsor purchased the founder shares prior to our initial public offering for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.009 per share. The Sponsor currently holds 2,405,000 founder shares. Such shares, if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had aggregate market value of $23,809,500 based upon the closing price of $9.90 per share on Nasdaq on June 28, 2022, the record date. Given such shares will be subject to lock-up restrictions, we believe such shares have less value.

•

Sponsor purchased 4,238,636 private placement warrants, each exercisable to purchase one ordinary share at $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, at a price of $1.00 per warrant, and such private placement warrants will expire and be worthless if a business combination is not consummated within 15 months of the consummation of the IPO (unless such date is extended in accordance with the Existing Organizational Documents). Such warrants, if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had aggregate market value of $762,954.48 based upon the closing price of $0.18 per public share on Nasdaq on June 28, 2022, the record date. Given such warrants will be subject to lock-up restrictions, we believe such shares have less value.

184

•

Sponsor and CHW’s officers and directors will lose their entire investment in CHW if an initial business combination is not completed within 15 months from the closing of the IPO.

•

Sponsor and CHW’s officers and directors can earn a positive rate of return on their investment, even if other CHW shareholders experience a negative rate of return in the post-business combination company.

•

Following the Closing, Sponsor would be entitled to the repayment of an outstanding working capital loan and advances that have been made to CHW. The Sponsor agreed to loan to CHW up to $1,500,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of CHW. These loans are non-interest bearing, unsecured and are due upon consummation of an initial business combination. As of March 31, 2022, there was no amount outstanding under the January 18, 2021 promissory note, and there were no other material working capital loans outstanding. If CHW fails to complete an initial business combination by December 1, 2022, CHW may use a portion of the working capital 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.

•

Jonah Raskas and Mark Grundman, co-chief executive officers of CHW, may be deemed to have or share beneficial ownership of the founder shares and private placement warrants held directly by the Sponsor by virtue of their ownership interest in the manager of the Sponsor.

•

CHW’s existing directors and officers will be eligible for continued indemnification and continued coverage under CHW’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for a period of six years after the Business Combination.

•

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to CHW if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to CHW, or a prospective target business with which CHW has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of CHW’s initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

•

Following consummation of the Business Combination, Sponsor, our officers and directors and their respective affiliates would be entitled to reimbursement for certain reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and consummating an initial business combination, and repayment of any other loans, if any, and on such terms as to be determined by CHW from time to time, made by Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination. However, if CHW fails to consummate a business combination within the required period, Sponsor and CHW’s officers and directors and their respective affiliates will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. However, there have been no material out-of-pocket expenses subject to reimbursement to date and CHW does not anticipate any such expenses prior to Closing.

•

Up to an aggregate amount of $1,500,000 of any amounts outstanding under any working capital loans made by Sponsor or any of its affiliates to CHW may be converted into CHW warrants to purchase CHW ordinary shares at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender;

•

Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, New Wag! grants CHW Founder Shareholders certain customary demand, shelf and piggyback registration rights with respect to their shares of New Wag! common stock.

•

Under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, following the Acquisition Closing, in the event that New Wag! conducts a tender offer or other redemption, termination or cancellation of the assumed CHW warrants, each of (x) the CHW Founder Shareholders, collectively, and (y) certain members of New Wag’s management, collectively, shall be entitled to receive five percent (5%) of any cash proceeds actually received by New Wag as a result of the exercise of any such assumed CHW warrants in connection with such redemption.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of this Business Combination Proposal (and consequently, the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, including the Business Combination) requires an ordinary

185

resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares who, being present in person (or represented by proxy) and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, vote at the Special Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for purposes of establishing quorum, will not count as a vote cast at the Special Meeting.

Failure to submit a proxy or to vote in person or virtually at the Special Meeting, an abstention from voting or a broker non-vote will have no effect on the Business Combination Proposal.

The Business Combination is conditioned upon the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, subject to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the other Shareholder Proposals (except the Adjournment Proposal, as described below) will not be presented to the shareholders for a vote.

The Sponsor and CHW’s directors and officers have agreed to vote the founder shares and any ordinary shares owned by them in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. See “The Business Combination Agreement — Related Agreements — CHW Founders Stock Letter” for more information.

Recommendation of the CHW Board of Directors

CHW’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT ITS SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL.

186

PROPOSAL NO. 3 — THE ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSAL

Overview

As discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus, if the Domestication Proposal and the Business Combination Proposal are approved, then CHW is asking its shareholders to approve the Organizational Documents Proposal. Under the Business Combination Agreement, the approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal is also a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination. If, however, the Organizational Documents Proposal is approved but either the Domestication Proposal or the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, then neither the Domestication nor the Business Combination will be consummated.

If each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals and the Organizational Documents Proposal are each approved and the Business Combination is to be consummated, then the Proposed Charter and the Proposed Bylaws will be substantially in the form set forth on Annex B and Annex C, respectively, and each of the matters contemplated by the Advisory Charter Proposals will be included in the Proposed Charter adopted by New Wag!. The approval or lack thereof of any of the Advisory Charter Proposals will not affect the effectiveness of the Organizational Documents Proposals if approved by CHW’s shareholders.

The Organizational Documents Proposal is composed of the following amendments to the Existing Organizational Documents:

•

Name Change. Change CHW’s name to “Wag! Group Co. ”;

•

Corporate Purpose. Change the purpose of CHW to “any lawful act or activity for which a corporation may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware”;

•

Bylaws Amendment. Provide that any amendment to the bylaws will require the approval of either New Wag!’s board of directors or the holders of at least 66 2⁄3% of the voting power of New Wag!’s then-outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in an election of directors, voting together as a single class; propose that shares of common stock of New Wag! held by holders of Wag! common stock and Wag! preferred stock as of immediately prior to the Acquisition Merger, as well as the shares of New Wag! Common Stock issuable in respect of any Wag! Options, Wag! Warrants and Wag! RSUs outstanding as of immediately prior to the Acquisition Merger (other than shares of New Wag! Common Stock held by persons entering into Lock-Up Agreements) will be subject to substantially similar restrictions to those contained in the Lock-Up Agreements pursuant to the Proposed Bylaws. The lock-up provisions of the Proposed Bylaws will not be binding on holders of CHW stock who receive shares of New Wag! Common Stock in the transactions.

•

Charter Amendment. Provide that any amendment to certain provisions of the Proposed Charter will require the approval of the holders of at least 66 2⁄3% of the voting power of the New Wag!’s then-outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in an election of directors, voting together as a single class;

•

Blank Check Company. Remove the provisions relating to CHW’s status as a blank check company;

•

Business Opportunities. Remove the provisions under Section 49 (Business Opportunities) of the Existing Organizational Documents relating to the application of the doctrine of corporate opportunity; and

Action by Written Consent. Provide that, subject to the rights of any series of New Wag!’s preferred stock, no action will be taken by any holders of shares of New Wag! common stock, except at an annual or special meeting of stockholders called in accordance with the bylaws, and no action will be taken by the stockholders by written consent.

All shareholders are encouraged to read the Proposed Organizational Documents in their entirety for a more complete description of their terms.

The Proposed Charter also provides for a classified board structure dividing directors into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class serving a three-year term, which is consistent with the provisions contained in CHW’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

187

Reasons for the Organizational Documents Proposal

Each of the Proposed Charter and the Proposed Bylaws was negotiated as part of the Business Combination. The Board’s specific reasons for each of the Advisory Charter Proposals (each of which are included in the Proposed Charter) are set forth in the Section “The Advisory Charter Proposals.”

Resolution to be Voted Upon

The full text of the resolution to be proposed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as a special resolution, that the Existing Organizational Documents be amended and restated by their deletion and replacement in their entirety with the certificate of incorporation (the “Proposed Charter”) and bylaws of New Wag! (annexed to the prospectus/proxy statement as Annex B and Annex C, respectively), which be approved and adopted as the certificate of incorporation and bylaws, respectively, of New Wag!, effective upon the effectiveness of the Domestication.”

Vote Required for Approval

If the Domestication Proposal and the Business Combination Proposal are not approved, the Organizational Documents Proposal will not be presented at the Special Meeting. The approval of this Organizational Documents Proposal requires a special resolution under the Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares who, being present in person (or represented by proxy) and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, vote at the Special Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for purposes of establishing quorum, will not count as a vote cast at the special meeting.

Recommendation of the CHW Board of Directors

CHW’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT ITS SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSAL.

188

PROPOSAL NO. 4 — THE ADVISORY CHARTER PROPOSALS

As required by SEC guidance to give shareholders the opportunity to present their separate views on important corporate governance provisions, CHW is requesting that our shareholders vote upon, on a non-binding advisory basis, the Advisory Charter Proposals, which are separately being presented in accordance with SEC guidance and which will be voted upon on a non-binding advisory basis. This separate vote is not otherwise required by Delaware law or Cayman Islands law separate and apart from the Organizational Documents Proposal. However, the shareholder vote regarding each of the Advisory Charter Proposals is an advisory vote, and is not binding on the Company or our Board (separate and apart from the approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal). Furthermore, the Business Combination is not conditioned on the separate approval of the Advisory Charter Proposals (separate and apart from approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal). Accordingly, regardless of the outcome of the non-binding advisory vote on the Advisory Charter Proposals, CHW intends that the Proposed Charter will take effect upon the Closing (assuming approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal).

The following table sets forth a summary of the principal changes proposed to be made between the Existing Organizational Documents and the Proposed Organizational Documents. This summary is qualified by reference to the complete text of the Proposed Organizational Documents, copies of which are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B and Annex C, respectively.

​	Existing Organizational Documents	Proposed Organizational Documents
Authorized Shares (Proposal 4A)	Our Existing Organizational Documents authorized 111,000,000 shares, consisting of (a) 110,000,000 ordinary shares and (b) 1,000,000 preference shares.	The Proposed Organizational documents authorize 111,000,000 shares, consisting of (i) 110,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share and (ii) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock.
Amendments (Proposal 4B)	Our Existing Organizational Documents provide that the provisions of the Existing Organizational Documents may be amended to change CHW’s name, alter or add to the articles of association, alter or add to the memorandum with respect to any objects, power or other matters specified therein, and reduce CHW’s share capital or any capital redemption reserve fund.	The Proposed Organizational Documents would provide that (i) any amendment to the Proposed Bylaws will require the approval of either the New Wag!’s board of directors or the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (662∕3%) of the voting power of New Wag!’s then-outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in an election of directors, voting together as a single class; and (ii) any amendment to certain provisions of the Proposed Charter will require the approval of the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (662∕3%) of the voting power of New Wag!’s then-outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in an election of directors, voting together as a single class.

189

​	Existing Organizational Documents	Proposed Organizational Documents
Forum Selection (Proposal 4C)	Our Existing Organizational Documents do not contain an exclusive forum provision.	The Proposed Charter provides that the Delaware Court of Chancery, or, if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction thereof, another state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, will be the exclusive forum for certain actions and claims.
Removal of Blank Check Company Provisions (Proposal 4D)	Our Existing Organizational Documents contain various provisions applicable only to blank check companies.	The Proposed Organizational Documents will not include these provisions applicable only to blank check companies, including the provisions requiring that CHW have net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 immediately prior to, or upon such consummation of, a business combination.
Lock-up (Proposal 4E)	Our Existing Organizational Documents do not contain a lock-up provision.	The Proposed Bylaws will provide that shares of common stock of New Wag! held by holders of Wag! common stock and Wag! preferred stock as of immediately prior to the Acquisition Merger, as well as the shares of New Wag! Common Stock issuable in respect of any Wag! Options, Wag! Warrants and Wag! RSUs outstanding as of immediately prior to the Acquisition Merger (other than shares of New Wag! Common Stock held by persons entering into Lock-Up Agreements) will be subject to substantially similar restrictions to those contained in the Lock-Up Agreements pursuant to the Proposed Bylaws. The lock-up provisions of the Proposed Bylaws will not be binding on holders of CHW stock who receive shares of New Wag! Common Stock in the transactions.

Reasons for the Advisory Charter Proposals

(i)

Authorized Shares (Proposal 4A)

Our Existing Organizational Documents authorized 111,000,000 shares, consisting of (a) 110,000,000 ordinary shares and (c) 1,000,000 preference shares. Proposal 4A authorizes capital stock of 111,000,000 shares, consisting of (a) 110,000,000 shares of common stock and (b) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The shares would be issuable as consideration for the Business Combination and the other transactions

190

contemplated in this proxy statement/prospectus, and for any proper corporate purpose, including future acquisitions, capital raising transactions consisting of equity or convertible debt, stock dividends or issuances under current and any future stock incentive plans.

Our board of directors believes that this capital structure is appropriate for a newly public company such as New Wag!.

(ii)

Amendments to the Organizational Documents (Proposal 4B)

The Existing Organizational Documents provide that certain amendments may only be made pursuant to a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, which would require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote on the amendment, vote on such amendment, including amendments to (i) change CHW’s name, (ii) alter or add to the articles of association, (iii) alter or add to the memorandum of association with respect to any objects, power or other matters specified therein, and (iv) reduce CHW’s share capital or any capital redemption reserve fund.

Requiring the approval by affirmative vote of holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds  percent (662∕3%) of the voting power of New Wag!’s then-outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally at an election of directors to make any amendment to the Proposed Bylaws not approved by New Wag!’s board of directors is intended to protect key provisions of the Proposed Bylaws from arbitrary amendment and to prevent a simple majority of stockholders from taking actions that may be harmful to other stockholders or making changes to provisions that are intended to protect all stockholders.

Requiring the approval by affirmative vote of holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds  percent (662∕3%) of the voting power of New Wag!’s then-outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally at an election of directors to make any amendment to (a) certain provisions of the Proposed Charter and (b) the Proposed Bylaws is intended to protect key provisions of the Proposed Charter and the Proposed Bylaws from arbitrary amendment and to make it more difficult for a simple majority of stockholders to take actions that may be harmful to other stockholders or making changes to provisions that are intended to protect all stockholders. However, such provision may make it very difficult to approve any proposal by (i) allowing one or more stockholders the ability to block a proposal and (ii) by extending the powers of management who own a majority position, thus making it impossible to pass a proposal without management’s support.

(v)

Forum Selection (Proposal 4C)

Our Existing Organizational Documents do not contain an exclusive forum provision. Proposal 4C provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction thereof, another state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, shall be the exclusive forum for certain actions and claims. This amendment is intended to assist CHW in avoiding multiple lawsuits in multiple jurisdictions regarding the same matter. The ability to require such claims to be brought in a single forum will help to assure consistent consideration of the issues, the application of a relatively known body of case law and level of expertise, and should promote efficiency and cost-savings in the resolutions of such claims. We believe that the Delaware courts are best suited to address disputes involving such matters given that CHW intends to incorporate in Delaware (pending approval of the Domestication Proposal discussed above), Delaware law generally applies to such matters, and the Delaware courts have a reputation for expertise in corporate law matters. Delaware offers a specialized Court of Chancery to address corporate law matters, with streamlined procedures and processes to accelerate the timeline of legal decisions. This accelerated schedule can minimize the time, cost and uncertainty of litigation for all parties. The Court of Chancery has developed considerable expertise with respect to corporate law issues, as well as a substantial and influential body of case law construing Delaware’s corporate law and long-standing precedent regarding corporate governance. This provides shareholders and CHW with more predictability regarding the outcome of intra-corporate disputes. In the event the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, the other state courts located in Delaware would be the most appropriate forums because these courts have more expertise on matters of Delaware law compared to other jurisdictions.

In addition, this proposal is intended to promote judicial fairness and avoid conflicting results, as well as make CHW’s defense of applicable claims less disruptive and more economically feasible, principally by avoiding duplicative discovery. At the same time, we believe that CHW should retain the ability to consent to

191

an alternative forum on a case-by-case basis where CHW determines that its interests and those of its shareholders are best served by permitting such a dispute to proceed in a forum other than in Delaware.

The foregoing exclusive forum provision shall not apply to any claim arising under federal securities laws, including the Securities Act as to which the federal district courts of the United States of America shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Article XI of the Proposed Charter will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act, or any other claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the sole and exclusive forum. Further, Section 22 of the Securities Act of 1933 creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by that act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Accordingly, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce this forum selection provision as written as to claims arising under the Securities Act.

(viii)

Removal of Blank Check Company Provisions (Proposal 4D)

Our Existing Organizational Documents contain various provisions applicable only to blank check companies. Proposal 4D eliminates certain provisions related to our status as a blank check company, including the provisions requiring that CHW have net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 immediately prior to, or upon such consummation of, a business combination, which is desirable because these provisions will serve no purpose following the Business Combination. For example, these proposed amendments remove the requirement to dissolve CHW and allow it to continue as a corporate entity with perpetual existence following consummation of the Business Combination. Perpetual existence is the usual period of existence for corporations, and we believe it is the most appropriate period for CHW following the Business Combination. In addition, certain other provisions in our Existing Organizational Documents require that proceeds from CHW’s initial public offering be held in the Trust Account until a business combination or liquidation of merger has occurred. These provisions cease to apply once the Business Combination is consummated.

(ix)

Addition of Lock-UP Provisions (Proposal 4E)

Our Existing Organizational Documents do not contain lock-up provisions. Proposal 4E adds certain provisions providing that shares of common stock of New Wag! held by holders of Wag! common stock and Wag! preferred stock as of immediately prior to the Acquisition Merger, as well as the shares of New Wag! Common Stock issuable in respect of any Wag! Options, Wag! Warrants and Wag! RSUs outstanding as of immediately prior to the Acquisition Merger (other than shares of New Wag! Common Stock held by persons entering into Lock-Up Agreements) will be subject to substantially similar restrictions to those contained in the Lock-Up Agreements pursuant to the Proposed Bylaws. The lock-up provisions of the Proposed Bylaws will not be binding on holders of CHW stock who receive shares of New Wag! Common Stock in the transactions. These provisions are intended to support stability in the market for New Wag!’s common shares.

Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law

The Proposed Organizational Documents will contain, and the DGCL contains, provisions that are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our board of directors. These provisions are intended to avoid costly takeover battles, reduce our vulnerability to a hostile change of control and enhance the ability of our board of directors to maximize shareholder value in connection with any unsolicited offer to acquire CHW. However, these provisions may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, deter or prevent a merger or acquisition of CHW by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or other takeover attempt that a shareholder might consider in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the prevailing market price for the shares of common stock held by shareholders. See “Description of New Wag! Securities — Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law” for more information.

Resolution to be Voted Upon

The full text of the resolutions to be proposed are as follows:

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, on a non-binding advisory basis, authorize capital stock of 111,000,000 shares, consisting of (i) 110,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“common stock”), and (ii) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock.”

192

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, on a non-binding advisory basis, to provide that (i) any amendment to the Proposed Bylaws will require the approval of either the New Wag!’s board of directors or the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the voting power of New Wag!’s then-outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in an election of directors, voting together as a single class; (ii) shares of common stock of New Wag! held by holders of Wag! common stock and Wag! preferred stock as of immediately prior to the Acquisition Merger, as well as the shares of New Wag! Common Stock issuable in respect of any Wag! Options, Wag! Warrants and Wag! RSUs outstanding as of immediately prior to the Acquisition Merger (other than shares of New Wag! Common Stock held by persons entering into Lock-Up Agreements) will be subject to substantially similar restrictions to those contained in the Lock-Up Agreements pursuant to the Proposed Bylaws; and (iii) any amendment to certain provisions of the Proposed Charter will require the approval of the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the voting power of New Wag!’s then-outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in an election of directors, voting together as a single class.”

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, on a non-binding advisory basis, that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction thereof, another state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, shall be the exclusive forum for certain actions and claims.”

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, on a non-binding advisory basis, to eliminate various provisions in the Existing Organizational Documents applicable only to blank check companies, including the provisions requiring that CHW have net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 immediately prior to, or upon such consummation of, a business combination.”

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of each of the Advisory Charter Proposals, each of which is a non-binding advisory vote, requires an ordinary resolution under the Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the ordinary shares who, being present in person (or represented by proxy) and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, vote at the Special Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for purposes of establishing quorum, will not count as a vote cast at the Special Meeting. As discussed above, the Advisory Charter Proposals are advisory votes and therefore are not binding on CHW or our Board. Furthermore, the Business Combination is not conditioned on the separate approval of the Advisory Charter Proposals (separate and apart from approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal). Accordingly, regardless of the outcome of the non-binding advisory vote on the Advisory Charter Proposals, CHW intends that the Proposed Charter will take effect upon the Closing (assuming approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal).

PROPOSAL NO. 5 — THE NASDAQ PROPOSAL

Prior to and in connection with the Business Combination, we intend to effect (a) the issuance of up to 53,640,000 shares of New Wag! common stock in connection with the Acquisition Merger, and (b) the issuance and sale of up to 500,000 shares of New Wag! common stock in the PIPE and Backstop Investment, which will occur substantially concurrently with, and is contingent upon, the consummation of the Share Acquisition.

Why CHW Needs Shareholder Approval

We are seeking shareholder approval in order to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635(a), (b) and (d).

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a), shareholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities in connection with the acquisition of another company if such securities are not issued in a public offering and (A) have, or will have upon issuance, voting power equal to or in excess of 20% of the voting power outstanding before the issuance of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) or (B) the number of shares of common stock to be issued is or will be equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance of the stock or securities. CHW will issue shares representing 20% or more of the number of outstanding ordinary shares of CHW prior to the issuance, or 20% or more of its voting power prior to the issuance, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement and the PIPE and Backstop Investment.

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b), shareholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities when the issuance or potential issuance will result in a change of control of the registrant.

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), shareholder approval is required for a transaction other than a public offering involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by an issuer of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) at a price that is less than the lower of: (i) the Nasdaq official closing price immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement; or (ii) the average Nasdaq official closing price of the common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement if the number of shares of common stock to be issued is or may be equal to 20% or more of the common stock, or 20% or more of the voting power, outstanding before the issuance.

Resolution to be Voted Upon

The full text of the resolution to be proposed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that, for the purposes of complying with the applicable Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) listing rules, (a) the issuance of shares of common stock in connection with the Acquisition Merger pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, and (b) the issuance of shares of common stock of New Wag! the issuance of shares of common stock of New Wag! to the PIPE and Backstop Investor pursuant to the PIPE and Backstop Subscription Agreement, be confirmed, ratified and approved in all respects.”

Vote Required for Approval

If any of the Domestication Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal or the Organizational Documents Proposal is not approved, the Nasdaq Proposal will not be presented at the Special Meeting. The approval of this Nasdaq Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the majority of the of the holders of the ordinary shares who, being present (or represented by proxy) and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, vote at the Special Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for purposes of establishing quorum, will not count as a vote cast at the Special Meeting.

Failure to submit a proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, an abstention from voting or a broker non-vote will have no effect on the Nasdaq Proposal.

The Business Combination is conditioned upon the approval of the Nasdaq Proposal, subject to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. Notwithstanding the approval of the Nasdaq Proposal, if

194

the Business Combination is not consummated for any reason, the actions contemplated by the Nasdaq Proposal will not be effected.

The Sponsor and has agreed to vote the any ordinary shares owned by it in favor of the Nasdaq Proposal. See “The Business Combination Agreement — Related Agreements — CHW Founders Stock Letter” for more information.

PROPOSAL NO. 6 — THE OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL

The Board expects to approve the Wag! Group Co. 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Incentive Plan”) and adopt the Omnibus Incentive Plan, effective as of the Closing, subject to the approval of our shareholders. We are seeking shareholder approval of the Omnibus Incentive Plan (i) in order for incentive stock options to meet the requirements of the Code and (ii) in order to comply with the Nasdaq listing rules.

The Board believes that the approval of the Omnibus Incentive Plan by the shareholders will benefit the compensation structure and strategy of New Wag!. New Wag!’s ability to attract, retain and motivate top quality management, employees, partners, consultants, advisors and non-employee directors is material to its success, and the Board has concluded that this would be enhanced by the ability to make grants under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. In addition, the Board believes that the interests of New Wag! and shareholders will be advanced if New Wag! can offer employees and non-employee directors the opportunity to acquire or increase their proprietary interests in New Wag!.

Set forth below is a summary of the material terms of the Omnibus Incentive Plan. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Omnibus Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached to the proxy statement/prospectus as Annex E. We urge our shareholders to read carefully the entire Omnibus Incentive Plan before voting on this proposal.

If approved by our shareholders, the Omnibus Incentive Plan will become effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

Summary of Material Terms of the Omnibus Incentive Plan

The following summary describes what we expect to be the material terms of the Omnibus Incentive Plan. The summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Omnibus Incentive Plan attached as Annex E to this proxy statement/ prospectus.

Purpose.   The purpose of the Omnibus Incentive Plan is to attract, retain, motivate and appropriately reward to employees, directors, and consultants, including employees and consultants of any of New Wag!’s subsidiaries, in order to motivate their performance in the achievement of New Wag!’s business objectives and align their interests with the interests of New Wag!’s stockholders. To accomplish this purpose, the Omnibus Incentive Plan permits the granting of awards in the form of incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance based awards (including performance shares, performance units and performance bonus awards), and other awards.

Authorized Shares.   Based on New Wag!’s anticipated capital stock upon closing, the maximum number of New Wag! common stock that may be issued will be approximately 7,431,082 shares of new Wag! common stock, assuming no redemptions, 6,774,832 shares of New Wag! common stock, assuming 50% redemptions, or 6,084,178 shares of new Wag! common stock if all 12,500,000 public shares are redeemed. In any event, the number of New Wag! common stock available for issuance under the Omnibus Incentive Plan upon it becoming effective will not exceed 7,431,082 shares. Additionally, the number of shares of New Wag! common stock reserved for issuance under the Omnibus Incentive Plan will automatically increase on January 1st of each year, beginning on January 1, 2023 and continuing through and including January 1, 2032, in an amount equal to (i) a maximum of 10% of New Wag! common stock outstanding as of each December 31st of the preceding calendar year or (ii) a lesser amount as determined by the Board.

If an award granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan expires or becomes unexercisable without having been exercised in full, is surrendered pursuant to an Exchange Program or, with respect to restricted stock, RSUs, performance units, or performance shares, is forfeited or repurchased due to failure to vest, then the unpurchased shares (or for awards other than stock options or SARs, the forfeited or repurchased shares) will become available for future grant or sale under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. With respect to SARs, only the net shares actually issued will cease to be available under the Omnibus Incentive Plan and all remaining shares under SARs will remain available for future grant or sale under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. Shares that have actually been issued under the Omnibus Incentive Plan under any award will not be returned to the Omnibus Incentive Plan; provided, however, that if shares issued pursuant to awards of restricted stock,

196

RSUs, performance shares, or performance units are repurchased or forfeited, such shares will become available for future grant under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. Shares used to pay the exercise price of an award or to satisfy the tax withholding and remittance obligations related to an award will become available for future grant or sale under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. To the extent an award is paid out in cash rather than shares, such cash payment will not result in a reduction in the number of shares available for issuance under the Omnibus Incentive Plan.

For purposes of the Omnibus Incentive Plan, “Exchange Program” means a program under which (i) outstanding awards are surrendered or canceled in exchange for awards of the same type (which may have higher or lower exercise prices and different terms), awards of a different type, and/or cash, (ii) participants would have the opportunity to transfer any outstanding awards to a financial institution or other person or entity selected by the administrator, and/or (iii) the exercise price of an outstanding award is increased or reduced. The administrator will determine the terms and conditions of any Exchange Program in its sole discretion.

Participation.   Participation in the Omnibus Incentive Plan will be open to employees, non-employee directors, and consultants, including employees and consultants of any of New Wag!’s subsidiaries, who have been selected as an eligible recipient under the Omnibus Incentive Plan by the administrator. As
of March 31, 2022, we had 71 employees, all of whom following the consummation of the Business Combination may be eligible to participate in the Omnibus Incentive Plan. Awards will typically be limited to approximately 71 employees of New Wag! and its subsidiaries. Following the consummation of the Business Combination, it is also expected that approximately 6 of New Wag!’s non-employee directors as well as 0 consultants will be eligible to participate in the Omnibus Incentive Plan.

Plan Administration.   The Board or one or more committees appointed by the Board will administer the Omnibus Incentive Plan. The leadership development, inclusion, and compensation committee of the Board is expected to administer the Omnibus Incentive Plan. In addition, if New Wag! determines it is desirable to qualify transactions under the Omnibus Incentive Plan as exempt under Rule 16b-3, such transactions will be structured with the intent that they satisfy the requirements for exemption under Rule 16b-3. Subject to the provisions of the Omnibus Incentive Plan, the administrator has the power to administer the Omnibus Incentive Plan and make all determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Omnibus Incentive Plan, including, but not limited to, the power to determine the fair market value of New Wag! common stock, select the service providers to whom awards may be granted, determine the number of shares covered by each award, approve forms of award agreements for use under the Omnibus Incentive Plan, determine the terms and conditions of awards (including, but not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times at which the awards may be exercised, any vesting acceleration or waiver or forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding any award or the shares relating thereto), construe and interpret the terms of the Omnibus Incentive Plan and awards granted under it, prescribe, amend, and rescind rules, regulations, and sub-plans relating to the Omnibus Incentive Plan, and modify or amend each award, including, but not limited to, the discretionary authority to extend the post-termination exercisability period of awards (provided that no option or SAR will be extended past its original maximum term), and to allow a participant to defer the receipt of payment of cash or the delivery of shares that would otherwise be due to such participant under an award. The administrator also has the authority to allow participants the opportunity to transfer outstanding awards to a financial institution or other person or entity selected by the administrator and to institute an exchange program by which outstanding awards may be surrendered or cancelled in exchange for awards of the same type which may have a higher or lower exercise price and/or different terms, awards of a different type, and/or cash, or by which the exercise price of an outstanding award is increased or reduced. The administrator’s decisions, interpretations, and other actions are final and binding on all participants.

Stock Options.   Stock options may be granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. The exercise price of options granted under our Omnibus Incentive Plan must at least be equal to the fair market value of New Wag! common stock on the date of grant. The term of an option may not exceed ten years. With respect to any participant who owns more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of our outstanding stock, the term of an incentive stock option granted to such participant must not exceed five years and the exercise price must equal at least 110% of the fair market value on the grant date. The administrator will determine the methods of payment of the exercise price of an option, which may include cash, shares, or other property

197

acceptable to the administrator, as well as other types of consideration permitted by applicable law. After the termination of service of an employee, director, or consultant, he or she may exercise his or her option for the period of time stated in his or her option agreement. In the absence of a specified time in an award agreement, if termination is due to death or disability, the option will remain exercisable for 12 months. In all other cases, in the absence of a specified time in an award agreement, the option will remain exercisable for three months following the termination of service. An option may not be exercised later than the expiration of its term. Subject to the provisions of our Omnibus Incentive Plan, the administrator determines the other terms of options.

Stock Appreciation Rights.   SARs may be granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. SARs allow the recipient to receive the appreciation in the fair market value of the New Wag! common stock between the exercise date and the date of grant. SARs may not have a term exceeding ten years. After the termination of service of an employee, director, or consultant, he or she may exercise his or her SAR for the period of time stated in his or her SAR agreement. In the absence of a specified time in an award agreement, if termination is due to death or disability, the SARS will remain exercisable for 12 months. In all other cases, in the absence of a specified time in an award agreement, the SARS will remain exercisable for three months following the termination of service. However, in no event may a SAR be exercised later than the expiration of its term. Subject to the provisions of the Omnibus Incentive Plan, the administrator determines the other terms of SARS, including when such rights become exercisable and whether to pay any increased appreciation in cash or with shares of the New Wag! common stock, or a combination thereof, except that the per share exercise price for the shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of a SAR will be no less than 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant.

Restricted Stock.   Restricted stock may be granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan in consideration for services or may be offered by the administrator for purchase. Restricted stock awards are grants of shares of the New Wag! common stock that vest in accordance with terms and conditions established by the administrator. The administrator will determine the number of shares of restricted stock that any employee, director, or consultant shall be permitted to purchase or that shall be granted to such service provider and, subject to the provisions of the Omnibus Incentive Plan, will determine the terms and conditions of such awards. The administrator may impose whatever conditions to vesting it determines to be appropriate (for example, the administrator may set restrictions based on the achievement of specific performance goals or continued service to New Wag! or its subsidiaries); provided, however, that the administrator, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the time at which any restrictions will lapse or be removed. Recipients of restricted stock awards generally will have voting and dividend rights with respect to such shares upon grant without regard to vesting, unless the administrator provides otherwise. Shares of restricted stock that do not vest are subject to New Wag!’s right of repurchase or forfeiture.

Restricted Stock Units.   RSUs may be granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. RSUs are bookkeeping entries representing an amount equal to the fair market value of one share of New Wag! common stock. Subject to the provisions of the Omnibus Incentive Plan, the administrator determines the terms and conditions of RSUs, including the vesting criteria and the form and timing of payment. The administrator may set vesting criteria based upon the achievement of company-wide, divisional, business unit, or individual goals (including, but not limited to, continued employment or service), applicable federal or state securities laws, or any other basis determined by the administrator in its discretion. The administrator, in its sole discretion, may pay earned RSUs in the form of cash, in shares of New Wag! common stock, or in some combination thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the administrator, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the time at which any vesting requirements will be deemed satisfied. Participants will have no voting rights with respect to RSUs until the date shares are issued with respect to such RSUs.

The administrator may provide that a participant is entitled to receive dividend equivalents with respect to the payment of cash dividends on shares having a record date prior to the date on which the applicable RSUs are settled or forfeited in accordance with the Omnibus Incentive Plan.

Performance Units and Performance Shares.   Performance units and performance shares may be granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. Performance units and performance shares are awards that will result in a payment to a participant only if performance goals established by the administrator are achieved or the awards otherwise vest. The administrator will establish performance objectives or other vesting criteria in its discretion, which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number and/or the

198

value of performance units and performance shares to be paid out to participants. The administrator may set performance objectives based on the achievement of company-wide, divisional, business unit, or individual goals (including, but not limited to, continued employment or service), applicable federal or state securities laws, or any other basis determined by the administrator in its discretion. After the grant of a performance unit or performance share, the administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any performance criteria or other vesting provisions for such performance units or performance shares. Performance units shall have an initial dollar value established by the administrator on or prior to the grant date. Performance shares shall have an initial value equal to the fair market value of New Wag! common stock on the grant date. The administrator, in its sole discretion, may pay earned performance units or performance shares in the form
of cash, in shares, or in some combination thereof. Participants will have no voting rights with respect to performance units and/or performance shares until the date shares are issued with respect to such performance units and/or performance shares. The administrator may provide that a participation is entitled to receive dividend equivalents with respect to the payment of cash dividends on shares having a record date prior to the date on which the applicable performance shares are settled or forfeited in accordance with the Omnibus Incentive Plan.

Other Awards.   The administrator is permitted to grant other cash-based, equity-based or equity related awards under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. The administrator will set the number of shares or the amount of cash under the award and all other terms and conditions of such awards. Such other awards granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan will be subject to vesting criteria specified in the award agreement as determined by the administrator.

Non-Employee Directors.   The Omnibus Incentive Plan provides that all non-employee directors will be eligible to receive all types of awards (except for incentive stock options) under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. In order to provide a maximum limit on the awards that can be made to our non-employee directors, the Omnibus Incentive Plan provides that in any given fiscal year, a non-employee director will not be granted awards having a grant-date fair value greater than $750,000, but this limit is increased to $1,000,000 in connection with his or her initially joining the Board (in each case, excluding awards granted to him or her as a consultant or employee). The grant-date fair values will be determined according to GAAP. The maximum limits do not reflect the intended size of any potential grants or a commitment to make grants to New Wag!’s non-employee directors under the Omnibus Incentive Plan in the future.

Non-Transferability of Awards.   Unless the administrator provides otherwise, the Omnibus Incentive Plan generally does not allow for the transfer of awards and only the recipient of an award may exercise an award during the participant’s lifetime. If the administrator makes an award transferrable, such award will contain such additional terms and conditions as the administrator deems appropriate.

Certain Adjustments.   In the event of certain changes in New Wag!’s capitalization, to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits available under the Omnibus Incentive Plan, the administrator will adjust the number and class of shares that may be delivered under our Omnibus Incentive Plan and/or the number class, and price of shares covered by each outstanding award and the numerical share limits set forth in the Omnibus Incentive Plan.

Dissolution or Liquidation.   In the event of a proposed liquidation or dissolution of New Wag!, the administrator will notify participants as soon as practicable and all awards will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed transaction.

Merger or Change in Control.   The Omnibus Incentive Plan provides that in the event of New Wag!’s merger with or into another corporation or entity or a change in control (as defined in the Omnibus Incentive Plan), each outstanding award will be treated as the administrator determines, including, without limitation, that (i) awards will be assumed, or substantially equivalent awards will be substituted, by the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof) with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices; (ii) upon written notice to a participant, that the participant’s awards will terminate upon or immediately prior to the consummation of such merger or change in control; (iii) outstanding awards will vest and become exercisable, realizable, or payable, or restrictions applicable to an award will lapse, in whole or in part, prior to or upon consummation of such merger or change in control and, to the extent the administrator determines, terminate upon or immediately prior to the effectiveness of such merger or change in control; (iv) (A) the termination of an award in exchange for an amount of cash and/or property, if any,

199

equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise of such award or realization of the participant’s rights as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction the administrator determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise of such award or realization of the participant’s rights, then such award may be terminated by New Wag! without payment), or (B) the replacement of such award with other rights or property selected by the administrator in its sole discretion; (v) with respect only to an award (or portion thereof) that is unvested as of immediately prior to the effective time of the merger or change in control, the termination of the award immediately prior to the effective time of the merger or change in control with such payment to the participant (including no payment) as the administrator determines in its discretion; or (vi) any combination of the foregoing. The administrator will not be obligated to treat all participants, awards, all awards a participant holds, or all awards of the same type, similarly in the transaction.

In the event an option or SAR is not assumed or substituted in the event of a merger or change in control, the administrator will notify each participant in writing or electronically that the option or SAR, as applicable, will be exercisable for a period of time determined by the administrator in its sole discretion, and the option or SAR, as applicable, will terminate upon the expiration of such period.

For awards granted to an outside director, in the event of a change in control, the outside director will fully vest in and have the right to exercise all of their outstanding option grants and SAR, all restrictions on restricted stock and RSUs will lapse, and for awards with performance-based vesting, unless specifically provided for in the award agreement, all performance goals or other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at 100% of target levels and all other terms and conditions met.

Clawback.   Awards will be subject to any clawback policy of ours, and the administrator also may specify in an award agreement that the participant’s rights, payments, and/or benefits with respect to an award will be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, and/or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified events. The Board may require a participant to forfeit, return, or reimburse New Wag! all or a portion of the award and/or shares issued under the award, any amounts paid under the award, and any payments or proceeds paid or provided upon disposition of the shares issued under the award in order to comply with such clawback policy or applicable laws.

Amendment and Termination.   The administrator has the authority to amend, suspend, or terminate the Omnibus Incentive Plan provided such action does not impair the existing rights of any participant. The Omnibus Incentive Plan will continue in effect until terminated by the administrator, but (i) no incentive stock option may be granted after ten years from the date the Omnibus Incentive Plan was adopted by the Board and (ii) the annual increase to the number of shares available for issuance under the Omnibus Incentive Plan will operate only until the tenth anniversary of the date the Omnibus Incentive Plan was adopted by the Board.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a summary of the principal U.S. federal income tax consequences to participants and New Wag! with respect to participation in the Omnibus Incentive Plan, which will not become effective until the date of the closing of the Business Combination. No awards will be issued under the Omnibus Incentive Plan prior to the date of the closing of the Business Combination. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive and does not discuss the income tax laws of any local, state or foreign jurisdiction in which a participant may reside. The information is based upon current U.S. federal income tax rules and therefore is subject to change when those rules change. Because the tax consequences to any participant may depend on his or her particular situation, each participant should consult the participant’s tax adviser regarding the federal, state, local and other tax consequences of the grant or exercise of an award or the disposition of share acquired under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. The Omnibus Incentive Plan is not qualified under the provisions of Section 401(a) of the Code and is not subject to any of the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. New Wag!’s ability to realize the benefit of any tax deductions described below depends on the New Wag!’s generation of taxable income as well as the requirement of reasonableness and the satisfaction of the New Wag!’s tax reporting obligations.

Incentive Stock Options.   The Omnibus Incentive Plan provides for the grant of share options that are intended to qualify as “incentive stock options,” as defined in Section 422 of the Code. Under the Code, a

200

participant generally is not subject to ordinary income tax upon the grant or exercise of an incentive stock option. If the participant holds a share received upon exercise of an incentive stock option for more than two years from the date the stock option was granted and more than one year from the date the stock option was exercised, which is referred to as the required holding period, the difference, if any, between the amount realized on a sale or other taxable disposition of that share and the participant’s tax basis in that share will be long-term capital gain or loss. If, however, a participant disposes of a share acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock option before the end of the required holding period, which is referred to as a disqualifying disposition, the participant generally will recognize ordinary income in the year of the disqualifying disposition equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the share on the date of exercise of the stock option over the exercise price. However, if the sales proceeds are less than the fair market value of the share on the date of exercise of the stock option, the amount of ordinary income recognized by the participant will not exceed the gain, if any, realized on the sale. If the amount realized on a disqualifying disposition exceeds the fair market value of the share on the date of exercise of the stock option, that excess will be short-term or long-term capital gain, depending on whether the holding period for the share exceeds one year. For purposes of the alternative minimum tax, the amount by which the fair market value of a share of stock acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock option exceeds the exercise price of the stock option generally will be an adjustment included in the participant’s alternative minimum taxable income for the year in which the stock option is exercised. If, however, there is a disqualifying disposition of the share in the year in which the stock option is exercised, there will be no adjustment for alternative minimum tax purposes with respect to that share. In computing alternative minimum taxable income, the tax basis of a share acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock option is increased by the amount of the adjustment taken into account with respect to that share for alternative minimum tax purposes in the year the stock option is exercised. New Wag! is not allowed a tax deduction with respect to the grant or exercise of an incentive stock option or the disposition of a share acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock option after the required holding period. If there is a disqualifying disposition of a share, however, New Wag! will generally be entitled to a tax deduction equal to the taxable ordinary income realized by the participant, subject to the requirement of reasonableness, the deduction limits under Section 162(m) of the Code and provided that either the employee includes that amount in income or New Wag! timely satisfies its reporting requirements with respect to that amount.

Nonqualified Stock Options.   Generally, there is no taxation upon the grant of a nonqualified stock option. Upon exercise, a participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of exercise of the stock option over the exercise price. If the participant is employed by New Wag! or one of its subsidiaries, that income will be subject to withholding taxes. The participant’s tax basis in those shares will be equal to their fair market value on the date of exercise of the stock option, and the participant’s capital gain holding period for those shares will begin on the day after they are transferred to the participant. Subject to the requirement of reasonableness, the deduction limits under Section 162(m) of the Code and the satisfaction of a tax reporting obligation, New Wag! will generally be entitled to a tax deduction equal to the taxable ordinary income realized by the participant.

Restricted Stock Awards.   Generally, the recipient of a restricted stock award will recognize ordinary income at the time the stock is received equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the stock received over any amount paid by the recipient in exchange for the stock. If, however, the stock is subject to restrictions constituting a substantial risk of forfeiture when it is received (for example, if the recipient is required to work for a period of time in order to have the right to transfer or sell the stock), the recipient generally will not recognize income until the restrictions constituting a substantial risk of forfeiture lapse, at which time the recipient will recognize ordinary income equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the stock on the date it becomes vested over any amount paid by the recipient in exchange for the stock. A recipient may, however, file an election with the IRS, within 30 days following the date of grant, to recognize ordinary income, as of the date of grant, equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the stock on the date the award is granted over any amount paid by the recipient for the stock. The recipient’s basis for the determination of gain or loss upon the subsequent disposition of shares acquired from a restricted stock award will be the amount paid for such shares plus any ordinary income recognized either when the stock is received or when the restrictions constituting a substantial risk of forfeiture lapse. Subject to the requirement of reasonableness, the deduction limits under Section 162(m) of the Code and the satisfaction of a tax reporting obligation, New Wag! will generally be entitled to a tax deduction equal to the taxable ordinary income realized by the recipient of the restricted stock award.

201

Restricted Stock Unit Awards.   Generally, the recipient of a RSU award will generally recognize ordinary income at the time the stock is delivered equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the fair market value of the stock received over any amount paid by the recipient in exchange for the stock or (ii) the amount of cash paid to the participant. The recipient’s basis for the determination of gain or loss upon the subsequent disposition of shares acquired from a RSU will be the amount paid for such shares plus any ordinary income recognized when the stock is delivered, and the participant’s capital gain holding period for those shares will begin on the day after they are transferred to the participant. Subject to the requirement of reasonableness, the deduction limits under Section 162(m) of the Code and the satisfaction of a tax reporting obligation, New Wag! will generally be entitled to a tax deduction equal to the taxable ordinary income realized by the recipient of the RSU.

Stock Appreciation Rights.   Generally, the recipient of a SAR will recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the stock or cash received upon such exercise. Subject to the requirement of reasonableness, the deduction limits under Section 162(m) of the Code and the satisfaction of a tax reporting obligation, New Wag! will generally be entitled to a tax deduction equal to the taxable ordinary income realized by the recipient of the SAR.

Tax Consequences to New Wag!

Compensation of Covered Employees.   The ability of New Wag! to obtain a deduction for amounts paid under the Omnibus Incentive Plan could be limited by Section 162(m) of the Code. Section 162(m) of the Code limits the New Wag!’s ability to deduct compensation, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, paid during any year to a “covered employee” ​(within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code) in excess of $1 million.

Golden Parachute Payments.   The ability of New Wag! (or the ability of one of its subsidiaries) to obtain a deduction for future payments under the Omnibus Incentive Plan could also be limited by the golden parachute rules of Section 280G of the Code, which prevent the deductibility of certain “excess parachute payments” made in connection with a change in control of an employer-corporation.

New Plan Benefits

The awards, if any, that will be made to eligible persons under the Omnibus Incentive Plan are subject to the discretion of the compensation committee of the Board. Therefore, CHW cannot currently determine the benefits or number of shares subject to awards that may be granted in the future and a new plan benefits table is thus not provided.

Interests of CHW’s Directors and Officers in the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal

When you consider the recommendation of the Board in favor of approval of the Omnibus Incentive Plan, you should keep in mind that certain of CHW’s directors and officers have interests in the Omnibus Incentive Plan that are different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder or warrantholder, including, among other things, the potential future issuance of awards to the directors of New Wag!. See the section titled “Risk Factors” for a further discussion.

Resolution to be Voted Upon

The full text of the resolution to be proposed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that the Omnibus Incentive Plan (annexed to the proxy statement/prospectus as Annex E) be approved and adopted in all respects.”

Vote Required for Approval

If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal will not be presented at the Special Meeting. The approval of this Equity Incentive Plan Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the majority of the holders of the ordinary shares who, being present (or represented by proxy) and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, vote at the Special Meeting.

Failure to submit a proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, an abstention from voting or a broker non-vote will have no effect on the Omnibus Incentive Plan.

The Business Combination is conditioned upon the approval of the Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal, subject to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. Notwithstanding the approval of the Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal, if the Business Combination is not consummated for any reason, the actions contemplated by the Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal will not be effected.

Recommendation of the CHW Board of Directors

CHW’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT ITS SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL.

203

PROPOSAL NO. 7 — THE ESPP PROPOSAL

The Board expects to approve the Wag! Group Co. 2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) and adopt the ESPP, effective as of the Closing, subject to the approval of New Wag!’s shareholders. We are seeking shareholder approval of the ESPP (i) to qualify the ESPP as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code and the related regulations and (ii) in order to comply with the Nasdaq listing rules.

The purpose of the ESPP is to encourage employee stock ownership, thus aligning employee interests with those of our stockholders, and to enhance the ability of New Wag! to attract, motivate and retain qualified employees. We believe that the ESPP will offer a convenient means for New Wag!’s employees who might not otherwise own New Wag!’s common stock to purchase and hold shares.

This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the ESPP, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex F. We urge our shareholders to read carefully the entire ESPP before voting on this proposal. If approved by our shareholders, the ESPP will become effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

Summary of Material Terms of the ESPP

The following summary describes what we expect to be the material terms of the ESPP. This summary is not a complete description of all provisions of the ESPP and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the ESPP, a copy of which is attached hereto as Annex F. Our shareholders should refer to the ESPP for more complete and detailed information about the terms and conditions of the ESPP.

Purpose.   The purpose of the ESPP is to provide a means by which eligible employees of Wag and certain designated companies may be given an opportunity to purchase shares of New Wag! common stock following the closing of the Business Combination, to assist Wag in retaining the services of eligible employees, to secure and retain the services of new employees and to provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for New Wag!’s success.

The Plan includes two components: a 423 Component and a Non-423 Component. New Wag! intends that the 423 Component will qualify as options issued under an “employee stock purchase plan” as that term is defined in Section 423(b) of the Code. Except as otherwise provided in the ESPP or determined by the Board, the Non-423 Component will operate and be administered in the same manner as the 423 Component.

Share Reserve.   Subject to adjustment upon certain changes in New Wag!’s capitalization as described in the ESPP, based on New Wag!’s anticipated capital stock upon closing, the maximum number of New Wag! common stock that may be issued will be approximately 7,431,082 shares of new Wag! common stock, assuming no redemptions, 6,774,832 shares of New Wag! common stock, assuming 50% redemptions, or 6,084,178 shares of new Wag! common stock if all 12,500,000 public shares are redeemed. In any event, the number of New Wag! common stock available for issuance under the ESPP upon it becoming effective will not exceed 7,431,082 shares. The shares may be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired New Wag! common stock. Additionally, the number of shares of New Wag! common stock reserved for issuance under the ESPP will automatically increase on January 1st of each year, beginning on January 1, 2023 and continuing through and including January 1, 2032, in an amount equal to (i) ten percent (10%) of New Wag! common stock outstanding on December 31st of the preceding calendar year or (ii) a lesser amount as determined by the Board.

Shares subject to purchase rights granted under the ESPP that terminate without having been exercised in full will become available for issuance under the ESPP. As of June 28, 2022, the record date of the Special Meeting, the closing price of CHW’s ordinary shares as reported on Nasdaq was $9.90 per share.

Administration.   The ESPP will be administered by the Board or a committee appointed by the Board that is constituted to comply with applicable laws (including New Wag!’s leadership development, inclusion, and compensation committee). We expect New Wag!’s leadership development, inclusion, and compensation committee to be the administrator of the ESPP. Subject to the terms of the ESPP, the administrator will have full and exclusive discretionary authority to construe, interpret and apply the terms of the ESPP, delegate

204

ministerial duties to any of New Wag!’s employees, designate separate offerings under the ESPP, designate subsidiaries and affiliates as participating in the Section 423 Component and the Non-Section 423 Component (each as defined below) to determine eligibility, adjudicate all disputed claims filed under the ESPP, and establish such procedures that it deems necessary or advisable for the administration of the ESPP. The administrator is authorized to adopt rules and procedures in order to: determine eligibility to participate, determine the definition of compensation for the purposes of contributions to the ESPP, handle contributions to the ESPP, coordinate the making of contributions to the ESPP, establish bank or trust accounts to hold contributions to the ESPP, effect the payment of interest, effect the conversion of local currency, satisfy obligations to pay payroll tax, determine beneficiary designation requirements, implement and determine withholding procedures, and determine procedures for the handling of stock certificates that vary with applicable local requirements. The administrator will also be authorized to determine that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the terms of a purchase right granted under the ESPP or an offering to citizens or residents of a non-U.S. jurisdiction will be less favorable than the terms of options granted under the ESPP or the same offering to employees resident solely in the United States. Every finding, decision, and determination made by the administrator will, to the full extent permitted by law, be final and binding upon all parties.

Eligibility.   Generally, all of New Wag!’s employees will be eligible to participate in the ESPP if they are customarily employed by New Wag!, or any participating subsidiary or affiliate. The administrator, in its discretion, may, prior to an enrollment date, for all options to be granted on such enrollment date in an offering, determine that an employee who (i) has not completed at least two years of service (or a lesser period of time determined by the administrator) since his or her last hire date, (ii) customarily works not more than 20 hours per week (or a lesser period of time determined by the administrator), (iii) customarily works not more than five months per calendar year (or a lesser period of time determined by the administrator), (iv) is a highly compensated employee within the meaning of Section 414(q) of the Code, or (v) is a highly compensated employee within the meaning of Section 414(q) of the Code with compensation above a certain level or is an officer or subject to disclosure requirements under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, is or is not eligible to participate in such offering period. As of March 31, 2022, we had 71 employees, all of whom following the consummation of the Business Combination may be eligible to participate in the ESPP.

However, an employee may not be granted rights to purchase shares of New Wag! common stock under the ESPP if such employee:

•

immediately after the grant would own capital stock and/or hold outstanding options to purchase such stock possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of capital stock of New Wag! or its subsidiary; or

•

holds rights to purchase shares of common stock under all employee stock purchase plans of New Wag! or its subsidiary that accrue at a rate that exceeds $25,000 worth of shares of common stock for each calendar year in which such rights are outstanding at any time.

Offering Periods and Purchase Periods.   The ESPP will include a component that allows New Wag! to make offerings intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Code, or the Section 423 Component and a component that allows New Wag! to make offerings not intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Code to designated companies, or the Non-Section 423 Component, each as described in the ESPP. Offering periods will begin and end on such dates as may be determined by the administrator in its discretion, in each case on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis, and may contain one or more purchase periods. The administrator may change the duration of offering periods (including commencement dates) with respect to future offerings so long as such change is announced prior to the scheduled beginning of the first offering period affected. No offering period may last more than 27 months.

Contributions.   The ESPP will permit participants to purchase shares of New Wag! common stock through contributions (in the form of payroll deductions or otherwise to the extent permitted by the administrator) in an amount established by the administrator from time to time in its discretion, and on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis with respect to the Section 423 Component, for all options to be granted on an enrollment date in an offering, which includes a participant’s taxable compensation except that it excludes severance, imputed income, and equity compensation income, and other similar compensation. Unless otherwise determined by the administrator, during any purchase period, a participant may not

205

increase the rate of his or her contributions and may only decrease the rate of his or her contributions (including to 0%) one time. During any offering period, a participant may increase or decrease the rate of his or her contributions to become effective as of the beginning of the next purchase period occurring in such offering period, provided that a participant may not increase the rate of his or her contributions in excess of the rate of his or her contributions in effect as of the enrollment date of the applicable offering period.

Exercise of Purchase Right.   Amounts contributed and accumulated by the participant will be used to purchase shares of New Wag! common stock at the end of each purchase period. A participant may purchase a maximum number of shares of New Wag! common stock during a purchase period as determined by the administrator in its discretion and on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis. The purchase price of the shares will be determined by the administrator from time to time, in its discretion and on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis for all options to be granted on an enrollment date, provided that in no event may the purchase price be less than 85% of the lower of the fair market value of New Wag! common stock on the first trading day of the offering period or on the exercise date, which is generally the last trading day of a purchase period. Participants may end their participation at any time during an offering period and will be paid their accrued contributions that have not yet been used to purchase shares of New Wag! common stock. Participation ends automatically upon termination of employment with New Wag!. The administrator may determine a maximum number of shares that a participant may purchase during any purchase period.

Non-transferability.    Neither contributions credited to a participant’s account nor rights to purchase shares of New Wag! common stock and any other rights and interests under the ESPP may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of (other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or beneficiary designation in the event of death). Any attempt at such prohibited disposition will be without effect, except that New Wag! may treat such act as an election to withdraw participation.

Certain Transaction.   In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, New Wag! common stock, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, reclassification, repurchase, or exchange of shares of New Wag! common stock or New Wag!’s other securities, or other change in New Wag!’s corporate structure affecting the New Wag! common stock occurs (other than any ordinary dividends or other ordinary distributions), the administrator, in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the ESPP in such manner it may deem equitable, will adjust the number of shares and class of New Wag! common stock that may be delivered under the ESPP, the purchase price per share, the number of shares of New Wag! common stock covered by each purchase right under the ESPP that has not yet been exercised, and the numerical limits of the ESPP.

In the event of New Wag!’s proposed dissolution or liquidation, any ongoing offering periods will be shortened and will terminate immediately before consummation of the proposed dissolution or liquidation following the purchase of shares of New Wag! common stock under the shortened offering periods, unless provided otherwise by the administrator. Prior to the new exercise date, the administrator will notify participants regarding the new exercise date and the exercise to occur on such date.

In the event of a merger or “change in control” ​(as defined in the ESPP), each outstanding option under the ESPP will be assumed or substituted for by the successor corporation or its parent or subsidiary. In the event that options are not assumed or substituted for, the offering period will be shortened by setting a new exercise date on which the offering period will end, which will occur prior to the closing of the merger or change in control. Prior to the new exercise date, the administrator will notify participants regarding the new exercise date and the exercise to occur on such date.

Amendment and Termination.   The administrator has the authority to amend, suspend, or terminate the ESPP, except that, subject to certain exceptions described in the ESPP, no such action may adversely affect any outstanding rights to purchase shares of New Wag! common stock. The ESPP will become effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination and will automatically terminate in 20 years, unless the administrator terminates the ESPP sooner.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a summary of the principal U.S. federal income tax consequences to participants and New Wag! with respect to participation in the ESPP. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive and

206

does not discuss the income tax laws of any local, state or foreign jurisdiction in which a participant may reside. The information is based upon current U.S. federal income tax rules and therefore is subject to change when those rules change. Because the tax consequences to any participant may depend on his or her particular situation, each participant should consult the participant’s tax adviser regarding the federal, state, local, and other tax consequences of the grant or exercise of a purchase right or the sale or other disposition of New Wag! common stock acquired under the ESPP. The ESPP is not qualified under the provisions of Section 401(a) of the Code and is not subject to any of the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

423 Component of the ESPP

Rights granted under the 423 Component of the ESPP are intended to qualify for favorable U.S. federal income tax treatment associated with rights granted under an employee stock purchase plan which qualifies under the provisions of Section 423 of the Code.

A participant will be taxed on amounts withheld for the purchase of shares of New Wag! common stock as if such amounts were actually received. Otherwise, no income will be taxable to a participant as a result of the granting or exercise of a purchase right until a sale or other disposition of the acquired shares. The taxation upon such sale or other disposition will depend upon the holding period of the acquired shares.

If the shares are sold or otherwise disposed of more than two years after the beginning of the offering period and more than one year after the shares are transferred to the participant, then the lesser of the following will be treated as ordinary income: (i) the excess of the fair market value of the shares at the time of such sale or other disposition over the purchase price; or (ii) the excess of the fair market value of the shares as of the beginning of the offering period over the purchase price (determined as of the beginning of the offering period). Any further gain or any loss will be taxed as a long-term capital gain or loss.

If the shares are sold or otherwise disposed of before the expiration of either of the holding periods described above, then the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the purchase date over the purchase price will be treated as ordinary income at the time of such sale or other disposition. The balance of any gain will be treated as capital gain. Even if the shares are later sold or otherwise disposed of for less than their fair market value on the purchase date, the same amount of ordinary income is attributed to the participant, and a capital loss is recognized equal to the difference between the sales price and the fair market value of the shares on such purchase date. Any capital gain or loss will be short-term or long-term, depending on how long the shares have been held.

Non-423 Component

A participant will be taxed on amounts withheld for the purchase of shares of New Wag! common stock as if such amounts were actually received. Under the Non-423 Component, a participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of exercise of the purchase right over the purchase price. If the participant is employed by New Wag! or one of its affiliates, that income will be subject to withholding taxes. The participant’s tax basis in those shares will be equal to their fair market value on the date of exercise of the purchase right, and the participant’s capital gain holding period for those shares will begin on the day after they are transferred to the participant.

There are no U.S. federal income tax consequences to the New Wag! by reason of the grant or exercise of rights under the ESPP. The New Wag! is entitled to a deduction to the extent amounts are taxed as ordinary income to a participant for shares sold or otherwise disposed of before the expiration of the holding periods described above (subject to the requirement of reasonableness, the deduction limits under Section 162(m) of the Code and the satisfaction of tax reporting obligations).

New Plan Benefits

Participation in the ESPP is voluntary and each eligible employee will make his or her own decision regarding whether and to what extent to participate in the ESPP. Therefore, CHW cannot currently determine the benefits or number of shares subject to purchase rights and a new plan benefits table is thus not provided.

207

Interests of CHW’s Directors and Officers in the ESPP Proposal

When you consider the recommendation of the Board in favor of approval of the ESPP, you should keep in mind that certain of CHW’s directors and officers have interests in the ESPP that are different from, in addition to, or in conflict with your interests as a stockholder or warrantholder, including, among other things, the potential future issuance of awards to the directors of New Wag!. See the section titled “Risk Factors” for a further discussion.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following summary is a discussion of U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to holders of CHW ordinary shares or warrants and New Wag! common stock or warrants as a consequence of (i) the Domestication or the receipt of New Wag! common stock by eligible Pet Caregivers, (ii) an exercise of Redemption Rights, (iii) the Acquisition Merger and (iv) ownership and disposition of New Wag! common stock and New Wag! warrants after the Domestication. Unless otherwise indicated, this section applies only to holders that hold their CHW ordinary shares and warrants or New Wag! common stock and warrants as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes (generally, property held for investment) and does not address the Sponsor or their affiliates, representatives, employees or other stakeholders.

This section is general in nature and does not discuss all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that might be relevant to a particular holder in light of such holder’s circumstances or status, nor does it address tax considerations applicable to a holder subject to special rules, including:

•

banks, insurance companies, and certain other financial institutions;

•

governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;

•

insurance companies

•

brokers, dealers or traders in securities;

•

taxpayers that are subject to the mark-to-market accounting rules;

•

persons holding CHW ordinary shares or warrants or New Wag! common stock or warrants as part of a “straddle,” hedge, integrated transaction, or other risk reduction strategy or as part of a conversion transaction, or persons deemed to sell the CHW ordinary shares or warrants or New Wag! common stock or warrants under constructive sale provisions of the Code;

This discussion is based on the Code, and administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and final, temporary and proposed Treasury Regulations all as of the date hereof, changes to any of which subsequent to the date of this prospectus may affect the tax consequences described herein (possibly with retroactive effect).

This discussion does not take into account proposed changes in such tax laws and does not address any aspect of state, local or non-U.S. taxation, or any U.S. federal taxes other than income taxes (such as estate

210

or gift tax consequences, the alternative minimum tax or the Medicare tax on investment income). Each of the foregoing is subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. You should consult your tax advisors with respect to the application of U.S. federal tax laws to your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. jurisdiction.

We have not and do not intend to seek any rulings from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) regarding the Domestication, an exercise of Redemption Rights, the Acquisition Merger, or any other matters discussed herein. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not take positions concerning the tax consequences of the transactions that are inconsistent with the considerations discussed below or that any such positions would not be sustained by a court.

References in this discussion to “ordinary shares” refers to CHW ordinary shares and references in this discussion to “common stock” refers to New Wag! common stock and references to “warrants” refer to CHW warrants or New Wag! warrants, as the context may require.

For purposes of this discussion, because CHW units (each consisting of one CHW ordinary share and one CHW warrant) can be separated into their component parts at the option of the holder, we are treating any CHW ordinary share and any CHW warrant to acquire one CHW ordinary share held by a U.S. holder in the form of a single CHW unit as separate instruments and are assuming that the unit itself will not be treated as an integrated instrument. Accordingly, the separation of a unit of CHW in connection with the consummation of the Domestication or redemption generally should not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This position is not free from doubt, and no assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a contrary position. U.S. holders of units of CHW are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal, state, local and any non-U.S. tax consequences of the Domestication and any redemption. The remainder of this discussion assumes that any CHW ordinary share and any CHW warrant to acquire one CHW ordinary share held by a U.S. holder in the form of a single CHW unit are separate instruments.

If a partnership (or any entity or arrangement so characterized for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds CHW ordinary shares or warrants or New Wag! common stock or warrants, the tax treatment of such partnership and a person treated as a partner of such partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships holding any CHW ordinary shares or warrants or New Wag! common stock or warrants and persons that are treated as partners of such partnerships should consult their tax advisors as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication and an exercise of Redemption Rights to them.

THE FOLLOWING IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. ALL SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE DOMESTICATION, AN EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS, AND THE ACQUISITION MERGER. INCLUDING THE EFFECTS OF U.S. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX LAWS.

Consequences of Issuance of New Wag! Community Shares to Eligible Pet Caregivers

New Wag! is exploring options to implement a distribution of New Wag! Community Shares to eligible Pet Caregivers. If distributed, certain eligible Pet Caregivers receiving shares of New Wag! Community Shares are generally expected to include, as ordinary income, the fair market value such shares as of the date of the issuance. (It is also possible that the issuance of such shares could be treated as compensation for services, see “— If Pet Caregivers are reclassified as employees under applicable law, Wag!’s business would be materially adversely affected”). New Wag! intends to take the position that the issuance of New Wag! common shares to Eligible Pet Caregivers should not be treated as compensation. The remainder of the discussion in this section generally would apply to such recipients. Eligible Pet Caregivers are urged to consult with their tax advisors regarding these and any other tax considerations of the issuance.

U.S. Holders

This section applies to you if you are a “U.S. holder.” A U.S. holder is a beneficial owner of CHW ordinary shares or warrants or New Wag! common stock or warrants who or that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

211

•

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

•

a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) that is created or organized (or treated as created or organized) under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

•

an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or

•

a trust, if (i) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more “United States persons” ​(within the meaning of the Code) have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (ii) the trust has validly elected to be treated as a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Consequences of the Domestication to U.S. Holders — F Reorganization

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication will depend primarily upon whether the Domestication qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code.

Under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, a reorganization (an “F Reorganization”) is a “mere change in identity, form or place of organization of one corporation, however effected.” Pursuant to the Domestication, CHW will change its jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to Delaware, and, after the Domestication will change its name to Wag! Group Co.

Based on, and subject to, the assumptions, qualifications and limitations set forth in the opinion included as Exhibit 8.1 hereto, it is the opinion of McDermott Will & Emery LLP that the Domestication should qualify as an F Reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, due to the absence of direct guidance on the application of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code to a statutory conversion of a corporation holding only investment-type assets such as CHW, this result is not entirely clear. Accordingly, due to the absence of such guidance, it is not possible to predict whether the IRS or a court considering the issue would take a contrary position. Assuming the Domestication so qualifies, U.S. holders generally will not recognize taxable gain or loss on the Domestication for U.S. federal income tax purposes, except as provided below under the caption headings “— Effect of Section 367 to U.S. Holders” and “— PFIC Considerations,” and the Domestication will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as if CHW (i) transferred all of its assets and liabilities to New Wag! in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock and warrants of New Wag!; and (ii) then distributed the common stock and warrants of New Wag! to the shareholders and warrant holders of CHW in liquidation of CHW. The taxable year of CHW will be deemed to end on the date of the Domestication.

Assuming the Domestication qualifies as an F Reorganization: (i) the tax basis of a share of New Wag! common stock or a New Wag! warrant received by a U.S. holder in the Domestication will equal the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the CHW ordinary share or warrant, as the case may be, surrendered in exchange therefor, increased by any “all earnings and profits amount” included in the income of such U.S. holder or by the amount of gain recognized on the Domestication, in each case, as a result of Section 367 of the Code (as discussed below) and (ii) the holding period for a share of New Wag! common stock or a New Wag! warrant received by a U.S. holder will include such U.S. holder’s holding period for the CHW ordinary share or warrant surrendered in exchange therefor.

If the Domestication fails to qualify as an F Reorganization, a U.S. holder generally would recognize gain or loss with respect to its CHW ordinary shares and warrants in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of New Wag! common stock and warrants received in the Domestication and the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its CHW ordinary shares and warrants surrendered in the Domestication. Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, such gain would be capital gain, and should be long-term capital gain if the U.S. holder held the CHW ordinary shares for longer than one year. In such event, such U.S. holder’s basis in New Wag! common stock and warrants would be equal to their fair market value on the date of the Domestication, and such U.S. holder’s holding period for New Wag! common stock and warrants would begin on the day following the date of the Domestication. Shareholders who hold different blocks of CHW ordinary shares and warrants (generally, ordinary shares and warrants of CHW

212

purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) should consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them.

The remainder of this discussion assumes the Domestication qualifies as an F Reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Because the Domestication will occur prior to the redemption of U.S. holders that exercise Redemption Rights, U.S. holders exercising such Redemption Rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of the Domestication.

ALL U.S. HOLDERS CONSIDERING EXERCISING REDEMPTION RIGHTS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE POTENTIAL TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE DOMESTICATION AND AN EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS TO THEM.

Effect of Section 367 to U.S. Holders

Section 367 of the Code applies to certain non-recognition transactions involving foreign corporations, including a domestication of a foreign corporation in an F Reorganization. Section 367 of the Code imposes income tax on certain U.S. persons in connection with transactions that would otherwise be tax-free.

Section 367(b) of the Code generally will apply to U.S. holders that exchange CHW ordinary shares for New Wag! common stock as part of the Domestication. Because the Domestication will occur prior to the redemption of holders that exercise Redemption Rights, U.S. holders exercising Redemption Rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of Section 367 of the Code as a result of the Domestication.

U.S. holders that on the date of the Domestication beneficially own (directly, indirectly, and constructively) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of CHW stock entitled to vote or 10% or more of the total value of all classes of CHW stock are strongly urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the consequences of the Domestication under Section 367(b) of the Code.

U.S. Holders That Own CHW Ordinary Shares with a Fair Market Value of $50,000 or More But Less Than 10 Percent of CHW

A U.S. holder who, at the time of the Domestication, beneficially owns (directly, indirectly, or constructively, including as a result of applicable attribution rules that would take into account a holder’s ownership of CHW warrants) CHW ordinary shares with a fair market value of $50,000 or more and who, on the date of the Domestication, beneficially owns (directly, indirectly, and constructively) less than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of CHW stock entitled to vote and 10% or more of the total value of all classes of CHW stock will generally recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to the New Wag! common stock received in the Domestication unless such holder elects to recognize the “all earnings and profits” amount attributable to such holder as described below. A U.S. holder’s ownership of CHW warrants will be taken into account in determining whether such U.S. holder is a U.S. Shareholder. Complex attribution rules apply in determining whether a U.S. holder owns 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our ordinary shares entitled to vote or owns 10% or more of the total value of all classes of our ordinary shares. All U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to those attribution rules.

Unless a U.S. holder makes the “all earnings and profits” election as described below, such holder generally must recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to its CHW ordinary shares exchanged for New Wag! common stock pursuant to the Domestication. Any such gain would be equal to the excess of the fair market value of such New Wag! common stock received over the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the CHW ordinary shares deemed to be surrendered in exchange therefor. Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, such gain would be capital gain, and should be long-term capital gain if the U.S. holder held the CHW ordinary shares for longer than one year.

In lieu of recognizing any gain as described in the preceding paragraph, a U.S. holder may elect to include in income the all earnings and profits amount attributable to its CHW ordinary shares. There are, however, strict conditions for making this election. This election must comply with applicable Treasury Regulations and generally must include, among other things:

•

a statement that the Domestication is a Section 367(b) exchange;

213

•

a complete description of the Domestication;

•

a description of any stock, securities or other consideration transferred or received in the Domestication;

•

a statement describing the amounts required to be taken into account for U.S. federal income tax purposes as income or as an adjustment to basis, earnings and profits or other tax attributes;

•

a statement that the U.S. holder is making the election that includes (A) a copy of the information that the U.S. holder received from CHW (or New Wag!) establishing and substantiating the U.S. holder’s “all earnings and profits amount” with respect to the U.S. holder’s CHW ordinary shares, and (B) a representation that the U.S. holder has notified CHW (or New Wag!) that the U.S. holder is making the election; and

•

certain other information required to be furnished with the U.S. holder’s tax return or otherwise furnished pursuant to the Code or the Treasury Regulations.

The election must be attached by the U.S. holder to its timely filed U.S. federal income tax return for the year of the Domestication, and the U.S. holder must send notice of making the election to New Wag! no later than the date such tax return is filed. In connection with this election, CHW intends to provide each U.S. holder eligible to make such an election with information regarding CHW’s earnings and profits upon request. CHW does not expect that CHW’s cumulative earnings and profits will be material at the time of domestication. If CHW’s cumulative earnings and profits through the date of the Domestication are less than or equal to zero, then a U.S. holder that makes the “all earnings and profits” election should not be required to include in gross income an “all earnings and profits amount” with respect to its CHW ordinary shares. If CHW’s cumulative net earnings and profits are greater than zero through the date of the Domestication, a U.S. holder that makes the “all earnings and profits” election would be required to include its “all earnings and profits amount” in income as a deemed dividend under Treasury Regulations under Section 367(b) of the Code as a result of the Domestication; however, any such U.S. holder that is a corporation may, under certain circumstances, effectively be exempt from taxation on a portion or all of the deemed dividend pursuant to Section 245A of the Code (commonly referred to as the participation exemption) if the holding period requirement under Section 246 of the Code and certain other requirements are satisfied. However, such participation exemption under Section 245A of the Code will not be available if CHW were treated as a PFIC that is not a “controlled foreign corporation” within the meaning of Section 957 of the Code under the PFIC rules discussed below.

U.S. HOLDERS ARE STRONGLY URGED TO CONSULT A TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE CONSEQUENCES OF MAKING THE ELECTION DESCRIBED ABOVE AND THE APPROPRIATE FILING REQUIREMENTS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ELECTION.

U.S. Holders that Own CHW Ordinary Shares with a Fair Market Value of Less Than $50,000 and Less Than 10 Percent of CHW

A U.S. holder who, at the time of the Domestication, owns (directly, indirectly or constructively) CHW ordinary shares with a fair market value of less than $50,000 and that, on the date of the Domestication, beneficially owns (directly, indirectly, and constructively) less than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of CHW stock entitled to vote and 10% or more of the total value of all classes of CHW stock, should not be required to recognize any gain or loss under Section 367(b) of the Code and generally should not be required to include any part of the “all earnings and profits amount” in income in connection with the Domestication.

U.S. Holders of CHW Warrants

Subject to the considerations described above relating to a U.S. holder’s ownership of CHW warrants being taken into account in determining a U.S. holder’s ownership of CHW ordinary shares for purposes of Section 367(b) of the Code, and the PFIC considerations described under “— PFIC Considerations” below, a U.S. holder of CHW warrants should not be subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to the exchange of CHW warrants for New Wag! warrants in the Domestication.

214

ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE DOMESTICATION TO THEM.

PFIC Considerations

In addition to the discussion under “— Effects of Section 367(b) to U.S. Holders,” and regardless of whether the Domestication is properly treated as an F Reorganization, the Domestication may be a taxable event to U.S. holders to the extent that CHW is or ever was a PFIC under Section 1297 of the Code.

Definition of a PFIC

A foreign corporation generally will be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to a taxable year of the foreign corporation if:

•

at least 75% of its gross income in such taxable year, including its pro rata share of the gross income of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the shares by value, is passive income;

or

•

at least 50% of its assets in such taxable year, ordinarily determined based on fair market value and averaged quarterly over the year, including its pro rata share of the assets of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the shares by value, are held for the production of, or produce, passive income.

Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents and royalties (other than rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business) and gains from the disposition of passive assets. For purposes of these rules, which may apply to CHW prior to the Domestication, interest income earned by CHW would be considered passive income and cash held by CHW would be considered a passive asset.

Because CHW is a blank check company with no current active business, based upon the composition of its income and assets, and upon a review of its financial statements, CHW believes that it likely was a PFIC for its most recent taxable year ended on December 31, 2021 and will likely be considered a PFIC for its current taxable year which ends as a result of the Domestication.

Effects of PFIC Rules on the Domestication

If CHW is determined to be a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. holder of CHW’s ordinary shares or warrants and, in the case of ordinary shares, the U.S. holder did not make a timely qualified electing fund (“QEF”) election for CHW’s first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. holder held (or was deemed to hold) such ordinary shares, did not make a QEF election along with a “purging election,” or did not make a timely mark-to-market election as discussed below, such holder generally will be subject to special rules with respect to: (i) any gain recognized by the U.S. holder on the sale or other disposition of its CHW ordinary shares or warrants; and (ii) any “excess distribution” made to the U.S. holder (generally, any distributions to such U.S. holder during a taxable year of the U.S. holder that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by such U.S. holder in respect of the ordinary shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. holder or, if shorter, such U.S. holder’s holding period for the CHW ordinary shares). Proposed Treasury Regulations generally treats “options” ​(which would include CHW warrants) to acquire stock of a PFIC as stock of a PFIC.

Under these rules:

•

the U.S. holder’s gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. holder’s holding period for the CHW ordinary shares or warrants;

•

the amount of gain allocated to the U.S. holder’s taxable year in which the U.S. holder recognized the gain or received the excess distribution, or to the period in the U.S. holder’s holding period before the first day of the first taxable year in which CHW is a PFIC, will be taxed as ordinary income;

215

•

the amount of gain allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and applicable to the U.S. holder; and

•

the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the U.S. holder in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of the U.S. holder.

Furthermore, Section 1291(f) of the Code requires that, to the extent provided in Treasury Regulations, a U.S. person that disposes of stock of a PFIC (including rights to acquire stock of a PFIC) must recognize gain notwithstanding any other provision of the Code. No final Treasury Regulations are currently in effect under Section 1291(f) of the Code. Proposed Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code, or the “Proposed Regulations”, were promulgated in 1992, with a retroactive effective date once they become finalized. If finalized in their current form, the Proposed Regulations may require taxable gain recognition by a U.S. holder subject to the PFIC rules with respect to its exchange of CHW ordinary shares or warrants for New Wag! common stock or warrants in the Domestication. Therefore, U.S. holders of CHW ordinary shares that have not made a timely QEF election or a mark-to-market election (as described above) and U.S. holders of CHW warrants may, pursuant to the Proposed Regulations, be subject to taxation on the Domestication to the extent their shares and/or warrants have a fair market value in excess of their tax basis. Any such gain would generally be treated as an “excess distribution” made in the year of the Domestication and subject to the special tax and interest charge rules discussed above.

In addition, the Proposed Regulations provide coordinating rules with Section 367(b) of the Code, whereby, if the gain recognition rule of the Proposed Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code applies to a disposition of PFIC stock that results from a transfer with respect to which Section 367(b) of the Code requires the shareholder to recognize gain or include an amount in income as discussed under the “— Effects of Section 367(b) to U.S. Holders,” the gain realized on the transfer is taxable under the PFIC rules discussed above, and the excess, if any, of the amount to be included in income under Section 367(b) of the Code over the gain realized under Section 1291 of the Code is taxable as provided under Section 367(b) of the Code.

It is difficult to predict whether, in what form and with what effective date, final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code will be adopted. The rules dealing with PFICs and with the QEF election and purging election (or a mark-to-market election) are very complex and are affected by various factors in addition to those described above. Accordingly, a U.S. holder of CHW ordinary shares or warrants should consult its tax advisors concerning the application of the PFIC rules to such securities under such holder’s particular circumstances.

The application of the PFIC rules to U.S. holders of warrants is unclear. The QEF Election or mark-to-market election is currently unavailable with respect to warrants. Therefore, it is possible that the proposed Treasury Regulations if finalized in their current form would apply to cause gain recognition on the exchange of CHW warrants for New Wag! warrants in the Domestication under the rules applicable to CHW ordinary shares described above.

QEF Election and Mark-to-Market Election.

In general, the impact of the PFIC rules on a U.S. holder of CHW ordinary shares will depend on whether the U.S. holder makes a timely and effective election to treat CHW as a “qualified electing fund” under Section 1295 of the Code for the taxable year that is the first year in the U.S. holder’s holding period of CHW ordinary shares during which CHW qualified as a PFIC (a “QEF Election”) to include in income its pro rata share of CHW’s net capital gains (as long-term capital gain) and other earnings and profits (as ordinary income), on a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed, in each taxable year of the U.S. holder in which or with which CHW’s taxable year ends. The QEF election is made on a shareholder-by-shareholder basis and, once made, can be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. A U.S. holder generally makes a QEF election by attaching a completed IRS Form 8621 (Return by a Shareholder of a Passive Foreign Investment Company or Qualified Electing Fund), including the information provided in a “PFIC Annual Information Statement,” to a timely filed U.S. federal income tax return for the tax year to which the election relates. Retroactive QEF elections generally may be made only by filing a protective statement with such return and if certain other conditions are met or with the consent of the IRS. U.S. holders should

216

consult their tax advisors regarding the availability and tax consequences of a retroactive QEF election under their particular circumstances. In order to comply with the requirements of a QEF election, as noted, a U.S. holder must receive a PFIC annual information statement from CHW. Upon written request, CHW will endeavor to provide to a U.S. holder such information as the IRS may require, including a PFIC annual information statement, in order to enable the U.S. holder to make and maintain a QEF election, but there can be no assurance that we will timely provide such required information. As discussed further above, a U.S. holder may not make a QEF election with respect to its CHW warrants.

The impact of the PFIC rules on a U.S. holder of CHW ordinary shares may also depend on whether the U.S. holder has made the mark-to-market election under Section 1296 of the Code. If a U.S. holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns (directly or constructively) shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable stock, the U.S. holder may make a mark-to-market election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. If the U.S. holder makes a valid mark-to-market election for the first taxable year of the U.S. holder in which the U.S. holder holds (or is deemed to hold) CHW ordinary shares and for which CHW is determined to be a PFIC, such holder generally will not be subject to the PFIC rules described above in respect of its ordinary shares. Instead, in general, the U.S. holder will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its ordinary shares at the end of its taxable year over the adjusted basis in its ordinary shares. The U.S. holder also will be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of its ordinary shares over the fair market value of its ordinary shares at the end of its taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the mark-to-market election). The U.S. holder’s basis in its CHW ordinary shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts, and any further gain recognized on a sale or other taxable disposition of the CHW ordinary shares will be treated as ordinary income. However, if the mark-to-market election is made after the beginning of the holding period for the PFIC stock, then the Section 1291 rules will apply to certain dispositions of, distributions on and other amounts taxable with respect to CHW ordinary shares.

The mark-to-market election is available only for stock that is regularly traded on a national securities exchange that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Nasdaq (on which CHW ordinary shares have been listed), or on an exchange or market that the IRS determines has rules sufficient to ensure that the market price represents a legitimate and sound fair market value. No assurance can be given that the CHW ordinary shares are considered to be marketable stock for purposes of the mark-to-market election or whether the other requirements of this election are satisfied. U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability and tax consequences of a mark-to-market election in respect to our ordinary shares under their particular circumstances. As noted above, a mark-to-market election may not be made with respect to warrants.

ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE PFIC RULES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION WHETHER A QEF ELECTION, A MARK-TO-MARKET ELECTION OR ANY OTHER ELECTION IS AVAILABLE AND THE CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF ANY SUCH ELECTION.

Effect to U.S. Holders of the Public Shares Exercising Redemption Rights

This section is addressed to U.S. holders of the public shares (which will be exchanged for New Wag! common stock in the Domestication) that elect to exercise Redemption Rights to receive cash in exchange for New Wag! common stock and is subject in its entirety to the discussion of the Domestication, the PFIC rules and Section 367 of the Code as discussed above.

The U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. holder of the public shares (which become New Wag! common stock in the Domestication) that exercises its Redemption Rights to receive cash from the Trust Account in exchange for all or a portion of its New Wag! common stock will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of the New Wag! common stock redeemed under Section 302 of the Code or is treated as a distribution under Section 301 of the Code. If the redemption qualifies as a sale of such U.S. holder’s New Wag! common stock redeemed, the holder will generally recognize capital gain or capital loss equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of cash received and such holder’s tax basis in the New Wag! common stock redeemed (which basis will in part depend on the treatment of the Domestication, including under Section 367 of the Code and the PFIC rules, as described above). Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period for New Wag! common

217

stock and New Wag! warrants so disposed of exceeds one year. It is unclear, however, whether the Redemption Rights described herein may have suspended the running of the applicable holding period for this purpose.

Whether a redemption qualifies for sale treatment will depend largely on the total amount of New Wag! common stock treated as held by the U.S. holder (including any shares constructively owned by the U.S. holder as a result of owning warrants) relative to all of New Wag! common stock outstanding both before and after the redemption (which will include any New Wag! common stock issued under the Nasdaq Proposal). The redemption of New Wag! common stock will generally be treated as a sale of the New Wag! common stock (rather than as a corporate distribution) if the redemption (i) is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the U.S. holder, (ii) results in a “complete termination” of the U.S. holder’s interest in New Wag! or (iii) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the U.S. holder.

In determining whether any of the foregoing tests are satisfied, a U.S. holder takes into account not only New Wag! common stock actually owned by the U.S. holder, but also New Wag! common stock constructively owned by the U.S. holder. A U.S. holder may constructively own, in addition to shares owned directly, shares owned by certain related individuals and entities in which the U.S. holder has an interest or that have an interest in such U.S. holder, as well as any shares the U.S. holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which would generally include New Wag! common stock which could be acquired pursuant to an exercise of any New Wag! warrants by such U.S. holder.

The redemption of New Wag! common stock generally will be “substantially disproportionate” with respect to a redeeming U.S. holder if the percentage of the New Wag! outstanding voting shares that such U.S. holder actually and constructively owns immediately following the redemption is less than 80% of the percentage of the New Wag! outstanding voting shares that such U.S. holder actually and constructively owned immediately before the redemption, and such U.S. holder immediately after the redemption actually constructively owns less than 50 percent of the total combined voting power of New Wag! stock. There will be a complete termination of such U.S. holder’s interest if either (i) all of the New Wag! common stock actually and constructively owned by such U.S. holder are redeemed or (ii) all of the New Wag! common stock actually owned by such U.S. holder are redeemed and such U.S. holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of any New Wag! common stock actually and constructively owned by certain family members and such U.S. holder does not constructively own any other New Wag! common stock and otherwise complies with specific conditions. The redemption of New Wag! common stock will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if the redemption results in a “meaningful reduction” of the U.S. holder’s proportionate interest in New Wag!. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a U.S. holder’s proportionate interest in New Wag! will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a minority shareholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.”

If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of the New Wag! common stock redeemed, the U.S. holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution from New Wag!. Such distribution will generally be treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent the distribution is paid out of New Wag!’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Distributions in excess of any such earnings and profits will generally be applied against and reduce the U.S. holder’s basis in its other New Wag! common stock (but not below zero) and, to the extent in excess of such basis, will be treated as capital gain from the sale or exchange of such redeemed shares. After the application of these rules, any remaining tax basis of the U.S. holder in such holder’s redeemed New Wag! common stock will generally be added to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its remaining New Wag! common stock, or, if it has none, to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its New Wag! warrants or possibly in other New Wag! common stock shares constructively owned by such holder.

Because the Domestication will occur prior to the redemption of U.S. holders that exercise Redemption Rights, U.S. holders exercising Redemption Rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of Section 367 of the Code and the PFIC rules as a result of the Domestication discussed further above.

Consequences of the Acquisition Merger to U.S. Holders of CHW Ordinary Shares or Warrants

The Acquisition Merger will not be a taxable transaction to either CHW or U.S. Holders of CHW ordinary shares or warrants (which will be exchanged for New Wag! common stock or warrants in the Domestication).

ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF A REDEMPTION OF ALL OR A PORTION OF THEIR NEW WAG! COMMON STOCK PURSUANT TO AN EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS.

Ownership and Disposition of New Wag! Common Stock and New Wag! Warrants After the Domestication

Distributions on New Wag! Common Stock

A U.S. holder generally will be required to include in gross income as dividends the amount of any cash distribution paid with respect to New Wag! common stock, to the extent the distribution is paid out of New Wag!’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its New Wag! common stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of New Wag! common stock and will be treated as described under “— Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Shares of New Wag! Common Stock and Warrants” below.

Dividends that New Wag! pays to a U.S. holder that is a taxable corporation generally will qualify for the dividends received deduction if the requisite holding period is satisfied. With certain exceptions (including, but not limited to, dividends treated as investment income for purposes of investment interest deduction limitations), and provided certain holding period requirements are met, dividends that New Wag! pays to a non-corporate U.S. holder may be taxed as “qualified dividend income” at the preferential tax rate currently afforded to long-term capital gains. It is unclear whether the Redemption Rights described herein may have suspended the running of the applicable holding period relevant for these purposes.

Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Shares of New Wag! Common Stock and Warrants

Upon a sale or other taxable disposition of New Wag! common stock and New Wag! warrants which, in general, would include a redemption of New Wag! common stock and New Wag! warrants that is treated as a sale of such securities as described above, a U.S. holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss. Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period for New Wag! common stock and New Wag! warrants so disposed of exceeds one year. It is unclear, however, whether the Redemption Rights described herein may have suspended the running of the applicable holding period for this purpose. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. holders are currently eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Generally, the amount of gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder is an amount equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received in such disposition and (ii) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its New Wag! common stock and New Wag! warrants so disposed of. See “— Consequences of the Domestication to U.S. Holders — F Reorganization” above for discussion of a U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its New Wag! common stock following the Domestication. See “— Exercise, Lapse or Redemption of New Wag! Warrants” below for a discussion regarding a U.S. holder’s tax basis in New Wag! common stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of a New Wag! warrant.

Exercise, Lapse or Redemption of New Wag! Warrants

Except as discussed below with respect to the cashless exercise of a New Wag! warrant, a U.S. holder generally will not recognize taxable gain or loss as a result of the acquisition of New Wag! common stock upon exercise of a New Wag! warrant for cash. The U.S. holder’s tax basis in the share of New Wag! common stock received upon exercise of the New Wag! warrant generally will be an amount equal to the sum of the U.S. holder’s tax basis in the New Wag! warrant, and the exercise price of such New Wag! warrant. It is unclear

219

whether a U.S. holder’s holding period for the shares of New Wag! common stock received upon exercise of the New Wag! warrant will commence on the date of exercise of the New Wag! warrant or the day following the date of exercise of the New Wag! warrant; in either case, the holding period will not include the period during which the U.S. holder held the New Wag! warrant. If a New Wag! warrant is allowed to lapse unexercised, a U.S. holder generally will recognize a capital loss equal to such U.S. holder’s tax basis in the New Wag! warrant. See “— Consequences of the Domestication to U.S. Holders — F Reorganization” above for a discussion of a U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its New Wag! warrants following the Domestication.

The tax consequences of a cashless exercise of a New Wag! warrant are not clear under current tax law. A cashless exercise may not be taxable, either because the exercise is not a realization event or because the exercise is treated as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In either situation, a U.S. holder’s tax basis in the shares of New Wag! common stock received generally should equal the U.S. holder’s tax basis in the New Wag! warrants. If the cashless exercise was not a realization event, it is unclear whether a U.S. holder’s holding period for the shares of New Wag! common stock would be treated as commencing on the date of exercise of the New Wag! warrant or the day following the date of exercise of the New Wag! warrant. If the cashless exercise were treated as a recapitalization, the holding period of the shares of New Wag! common stock received would include the holding period of the New Wag! warrants.

It is also possible that a cashless exercise may be treated in part as a taxable exchange in which gain or loss would be recognized. In such event, a U.S. holder may be deemed to have surrendered a number of New Wag! warrants having a value equal to the exercise price for the total number of New Wag! warrants to be exercised. The U.S. holder would recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the New Wag! warrants deemed surrendered and the U.S. holder’s tax basis in the New Wag! warrants deemed surrendered. In this case, a U.S. holder’s tax basis in the shares of New Wag! common stock received would equal the sum of the U.S. holder’s tax basis in the New Wag! warrants exercised, and the exercise price of such New Wag! warrants. It is unclear whether a U.S. holder’s holding period for the shares of New Wag! common stock would commence on the date of exercise of the New Wag! warrant or the day following the date of exercise of the New Wag! warrant; in either case, the holding period will not include the period during which the U.S. holder held the New Wag! warrant.

Due to the absence of authority on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a cashless exercise, including when a U.S. holder’s holding period would commence with respect to the shares of New Wag! common stock received, there can be no assurance as to which, if any, of the alternative tax consequences and holding periods described above would be adopted by the IRS or a court of law. Accordingly, U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of a cashless exercise.

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an exercise of a New Wag! warrant occurring after New Wag!’s giving notice of an intention to redeem the New Wag! warrants described in the section entitled “Description of New Wag! Securities — Warrants” are unclear under current law. In the case of a cashless exercise, the exercise may be treated either as if New Wag! redeemed such New Wag! warrant for New Wag! common stock or as an exercise of the New Wag! warrant. If the cashless exercise of New Wag! warrants for New Wag! common stock is treated as a redemption, then such redemption generally should be treated as a tax-deferred recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in which case a U.S. holder should not recognize any gain or loss on such redemption, and accordingly, a U.S. holder’s tax basis in the shares of New Wag! common stock received should equal the U.S. holder’s tax basis in the New Wag! warrants and the holding period of the shares of New Wag! common stock should include the holding period of the New Wag! warrants. Alternatively, if the cashless exercise of a New Wag! warrant is treated as such, the U.S. federal income tax consequences generally should be as described above in the second and third paragraphs under the heading “— Exercise, Lapse or Redemption of New Wag! Warrants.” In the case of an exercise of a New Wag! warrant for cash, the U.S. federal income tax treatment generally should be as described above in the first paragraph under the heading “— Exercise, Lapse or Redemption of New Wag! Warrants.” Due to the lack of clarity under current law regarding the treatment described in this paragraph, there can be no assurance as to which, if any, of the alternative tax consequences described above would be adopted by the IRS or a court of law. Accordingly, U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the exercise of a New Wag! warrant occurring after New Wag!’s giving notice of an intention to redeem the New Wag! warrant as described above.

220

If New Wag! redeems New Wag! warrants for cash or if New Wag! purchases New Wag! warrants in an open market transaction, such redemption or purchase generally will be treated as a taxable disposition to the U.S. holder, taxed as described above under “— Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of New Wag! Common Stock and Warrants.”

Possible Constructive Distributions

The terms of each New Wag! warrant provide for an adjustment to the exercise price of the New Wag! warrant or an increase in the shares of New Wag! common stock issuable on exercise in certain circumstances discussed in “Description of New Wag! Securities — Warrants.” An adjustment which has the effect of preventing dilution generally is not taxable. The U.S. holders of the New Wag! warrants would, however, be treated as receiving a constructive distribution from New Wag! if, for example, the adjustment increases the U.S. holder’s proportionate interest in New Wag!’s assets or earnings and profits (e.g., through a decrease to the exercise price or an increase in the number of shares of New Wag! common stock that would be obtained upon exercise) as a result of a distribution of cash or other property to the U.S. holders of New Wag! common stock which is taxable to them as described under “— Distributions on New Wag! Common Stock” above. For example, U.S. holders of New Wag! warrants would generally be treated as receiving a constructive distribution from New Wag! where the exercise price of the New Wag! warrants is reduced in connection with the payment of certain dividends as described in “Description of New Wag! Securities — Warrants.” Such constructive distribution received by a U.S. holder would be subject to U.S. federal income tax in the same manner as if the U.S. holders of the New Wag! warrant received a cash distribution from New Wag! equal to the fair market value of such increased interest. The rules governing constructive distributions as a result of certain adjustments with respect to a New Wag! warrants are complex, and U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors on the tax consequences any such constructive distribution with respect to a New Wag! warrant.

Non-U.S. Holders

A “non-U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner (other than a partnership or entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of CHW ordinary shares or warrants or New Wag! common stock or warrants that is not a U.S. holder. The following describes U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to (i) the Domestication, (ii) an exercise of redemption rights, and (iii) the ownership and disposition of New Wag! common stock and warrants by a non-U.S. holder after the Domestication.

Consequences of the Domestication to Non-U.S. Holders

We do not expect the Domestication to result in any U.S. federal income tax consequences to non-U.S. holders of CHW.

Effects to Non-U.S. Holders of the Public Shares Exercising Redemption Rights

Because the Domestication will occur prior to the redemption of non-U.S. holders that exercise Redemption Rights with respect to New Wag! common stock, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a redeeming non-U.S. holder will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of the New Wag! common stock redeemed, as described above under “— U.S. Holders — Effect to U.S. Holders of the Public Shares Exercising Redemption Rights.” If such a redemption qualifies as a sale of New Wag! common stock, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a non-U.S. holder that exercises its Redemption Rights to receive cash from the Trust Account in exchange for all or a portion of its New Wag! common stock generally will be as described below under “— Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Shares of New Wag! Common Stock and Warrants.” If such a redemption does not qualify as a sale of New Wag! common stock, the non-U.S. holder generally will be treated as receiving a distribution, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of which are described below under “— Distributions on New Wag! Common Stock.”

Consequences of the Acquisition Merger to Non-U.S. Holders of CHW Ordinary Shares or Warrants

We do not expect the Acquisition Merger to result in any U.S. federal income tax consequences to non-U. S. holders of CHW ordinary shares or warrants

221

Ownership and Disposition of New Wag! Common Stock and New Wag! Warrants After the Domestication

Distributions on New Wag! Common Stock

Any distribution of cash or property (or a constructive distribution, including through certain adjustments to the warrants) New Wag! makes to a non-U.S. holder of New Wag! common stock or warrants, to the extent paid out of New Wag!’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), generally will constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any such dividends paid or deemed paid to a non-U.S. holder in respect of New Wag! common stock (or warrants) that is not effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States, as described below, generally will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the dividend, unless such non-U.S. holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable). In satisfying the foregoing withholding obligation with respect to a distribution, the applicable withholding agent may withhold up to 30% of either (i) the gross amount of the entire distribution, even if the amount of the distribution is greater than the amount constituting a dividend, as described above, or (ii) the amount of the distribution New Wag! projects will be a dividend, based upon a reasonable estimate of both its current and accumulated earnings and profits for the taxable year in which the distribution is made. If U.S. federal income tax is withheld on the amount of a distribution in excess of the amount constituting a dividend, the non-U.S. holder may obtain a refund of all or a portion of the excess amount withheld by timely filing a claim for refund with the IRS. Any such distribution not constituting a dividend generally will be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, first as reducing the non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in such New Wag! common stock or warrants (but not below zero) and, to the extent such distribution exceeds the non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis, as gain from the sale or other taxable disposition of such New Wag! common stock or warrants, which will be treated as described under “— Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Shares of New Wag! Common Stock and Warrants” below.

Dividends (including constructive dividends) New Wag! pays to a non-U.S. holder that are effectively connected with such non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment or fixed base of the non-U.S. holder) generally will not be subject to the foregoing U.S. federal withholding tax, provided such non-U.S. holder complies with certain certification and disclosure requirements (usually by providing an IRS Form W-8ECI).

Instead, unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise, such dividends generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax, net of certain deductions, at the same regular U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to a comparable U.S. holder. In addition, if the non-U.S. holder is a corporation, such holder’s effectively connected earnings and profits (subject to adjustments) may be subject to a U.S. federal “branch profits tax” at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty).

Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Shares of New Wag! Common Stock and Warrants

A non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax in respect of gain recognized on a sale, exchange or other disposition of New Wag! common stock or warrants unless:

•

the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the non-U.S. holder within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment or fixed base of the non-U.S. holder);

•

the non-U.S. holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition (subject to certain exceptions as a result of the COVID pandemic) and certain other conditions are met; or

•

New Wag! is or has been a “United States real property holding corporation” ​(“USRPHC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition or the non-U.S. holder’s holding period, and either (i) New Wag!’s common stock has ceased to be regularly traded on an established securities market or (ii) the non-U.S. holder has

222

owned or is deemed to have owned under constructive ownership rules, at any time within the five-year period preceding the disposition or the non-U.S. holder’s holding period, whichever period is shorter, more than 5% of New Wag!’s common stock.

Unless an applicable tax treaty provides otherwise, any gain described in the first bullet point above generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax, net of certain deductions, at the same regular U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to a comparable U.S. holder and, in addition, a non-U.S. holder described in the first bullet point that is a foreign corporation may be subject to U.S. federal “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate (or a lower applicable tax treaty rate) on such non-U.S. holder’s effectively connected earnings and profits (subject to adjustments). Any gain of a non-U.S. holder described in the second bullet point above (which may be offset by U.S. source capital losses during the taxable year of the disposition) generally will be subject to a flat 30% U.S. federal income tax rate (or a lower applicable tax treaty rate).

Unless an applicable tax treaty provides otherwise, any gain described in the third bullet point above that is recognized by such non-U.S. holder on the sale, exchange or other disposition of New Wag! common stock or warrants generally will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. In addition, a buyer of such New Wag! common stock or warrants from a non-U.S. holder may be required to withhold U.S. income tax at a rate of 15% of the amount realized upon such disposition if such stock or warrants are not treated as “regularly traded on an established securities market.” New Wag! will generally be classified as a “U.S. real property holding corporation” if the fair market value of its “United States real property interests” equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of its worldwide real property interests and its other assets used or held for use in a trade or business, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. New Wag! does not expect to be classified as a “U.S. real property holding corporation” following the Business Combination. However, such determination is factual in nature and subject to change, and no assurance can be provided as to whether New Wag! is or will be a U.S. real property holding corporation with respect to a non-U.S. holder following the Business Combination or at any future time.

Possible Constructive Distributions

The terms of each New Wag! warrant provide for an adjustment to the exercise price of the New Wag! warrant or an increase in the shares of New Wag! common stock issuable on exercise in certain circumstances discussed in “Description of New Wag! Securities — Warrants.” As described above under “— U.S. Holders — Possible Constructive Distributions,” certain adjustments with respect to the New Wag! warrants can give rise to a constructive distribution. Any constructive distribution received by a non-U.S. holder would be subject to U.S. federal income tax (including any applicable withholding) in the same manner as if such non-U.S. holder received a cash distribution from New Wag! equal to the fair market value of such increased interest. If withholding applies to any constructive distribution received by a non-U.S. holder, it is possible that the tax would be withheld from any amount paid to or held on behalf of the non-U.S. holder by the applicable withholding agent. The rules governing constructive distributions as a result of certain adjustments with respect to New Wag! warrants are complex, and non-U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors on the tax consequences any such constructive distribution with respect to a New Wag! warrant.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Payments of dividends on, and the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of New Wag! common stock or New Wag! warrants, may be subject to information reporting to the IRS and U.S. backup withholding. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S. holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes other required certifications, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding and establishes such exempt status. A non-U.S. holder generally will eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreign status, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W-8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rule may be allowed as a refund or credit against a holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

223

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

Pursuant to the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), set forth in Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, foreign financial institutions (which include hedge funds, private equity funds, mutual funds and any other investment vehicles regardless of their size) must comply with information reporting rules with respect to their U.S. account holders and investors or bear a withholding tax on certain payments made to them (including such payments made to them in their capacity as intermediaries). Generally, if a foreign financial institution or certain other foreign entity does not comply with these reporting requirements, “withholdable payments” to the noncomplying entity will be subject to a 30% withholding tax. For this purpose, withholdable payments include U.S.-source payments otherwise subject to nonresident withholding tax and, subject to the discussion of the proposed Treasury Regulations below, the entire gross proceeds from the sale of certain equity or debt instruments of U.S. issuers. This withholding tax will apply to a non-compliant foreign financial institution regardless of whether the payment would otherwise be exempt from U.S. nonresident withholding tax.

Withholding under FATCA will generally apply to payments of dividends on New Wag! common stock to foreign financial institutions that are not in compliance with FATCA. The U.S. Department of the Treasury released proposed regulations which, if finalized in their present form, would eliminate the U.S. federal withholding tax of 30% applicable to the gross proceeds of a sale or disposition of equity interests. In its preamble to the proposed regulations, the U.S. Treasury stated that taxpayers may generally rely on the proposed regulations until final regulations are issued.

Similar withholding requirements to the foregoing apply to dividends on and, subject to the proposed regulations, gross proceeds from the sale of, New Wag! common stock held by an investor that is a non-financial foreign entity that does not qualify under certain exceptions will generally be subject to withholding at a rate of 30%, unless such entity either (i) certifies to the applicable withholding agent that such entity does not have any “substantial United States owners” or (ii) provides certain information regarding the entity’s “substantial United States owners,” which will in turn be provided to the U.S. Department of Treasury.

If a dividend payment is both subject to withholding under FATCA and subject to the withholding tax discussed above, the withholding under FATCA may be credited against, and therefore reduce, such other withholding tax.

Foreign entities located in jurisdictions that have entered into intergovernmental agreements with the United States in connection with FATCA may be subject to different rules. All holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of FATCA on their investment in CHW ordinary shares or warrants or New Wag! common stock or warrants.

Description of the Merger

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Wag!, with Wag! surviving the Merger. Wag! will become a wholly owned subsidiary of CHW and CHW will immediately be renamed “Wag! Group Co.”. The merger consideration to be paid to the Wag! equity holders at the closing of the Merger pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement will have a deemed value of $300 million. Upon the consummation of the Merger, each share of Wag! common stock and Wag! preferred stock will be converted into New Wag! common stock. As part of the No Redemptions scenario, an estimated 47,567,500 shares of New Wag! will be immediately issued and outstanding. As part of the 50% Redemptions scenario, an estimated 41,317,500 shares of New Wag! will be immediately issued and outstanding. As part of the Max Redemptions scenario, an estimated 35,054,173 shares of the New Wag! will be immediately issued and outstanding. The Merger will occur based on the following transactions as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement:

225

•

the conversion of all outstanding shares of Wag!’s preferred stock into shares of New Wag! common stock at the then-effective conversion rate as calculated pursuant to Wag!’s Business Combination Agreement;

•

the cancellation of each issued and outstanding share of Wag!’s common stock and the conversion into the right to receive a number of shares of New Wag! common stock equal to the exchange ratio of 0.97 shares of New Wag! common stock for each share of Wag! common stock;

•

the conversion of all outstanding Wag! warrants into New Wag! warrants exercisable for shares of New Wag! common stock with the same terms except for the number of shares exercisable and the exercise price, each of which will be adjusted using an exchange ratio of 0.97 for Wag! warrants;

•

the conversion of all outstanding vested and unvested Wag! Options into options exercisable for shares of New Wag! common stock with the same terms except for the number of shares exercisable and the exercise price, each of which will be adjusted using the exchange ratio of 0.97 for Wag! Options;

•

the issuance of 1,100,000 shares of Series P, with a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $11,000,000, which shares will be converted into New Wag! common stock on a one-for-one basis as described above;

•

the issuance and sale of 500,000 CHW ordinary shares for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000 immediately prior to the Effective Time in the PIPE Financing (assuming that the subscriber for the PIPE Financing does not seek to reduce its commitment as a result of acquiring any CHW ordinary shares in the market prior to the Effective Time);

•

immediately prior to the Effective Time, each CHW ordinary share (including any Sponsor Shares not forfeited) shall be converted into shares of New Wag! common stock; and

•

the cancellation of 13,327 founder shares held by the Sponsor in a maximum redemption scenario in connection with the Business Combination and in accordance with the terms of the CHW Founders Stock Letter and the Business Combination Agreement.

•

the issuance of 300,000 New Wag! Community Shares, inclusive of the 20,000 canceled and contributed founder shares, that New Wag! may distribute to members of the pet wellness and welfare community as identified by our officers and directors.

Minimum Cash Condition

The minimum cash condition to close is $30.0 million after consideration of redemptions, Credit Facility and PIPE proceeds, merger costs, and other required payments to be made in connection with the consummation of the transactions.

Other Related Events in Connection with the Merger

Credit Facility

In connection with the Business Combination, CHW, and subsequently New Wag!, will enter into a definitive financing agreement with Blue Torch Capital LP” ​(“Blue Torch”) for a $30 million senior secured term loan credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The interest rates on the outstanding principal amount will be, at the election of the Borrower, (i) LIBOR plus an Applicable Margin equal to 10.00% per annum or the Base Rate plus an Applicable Margin equal to 9.00% per annum. For the purposes of information presented in the Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements New Wag! will assume that the company elects to calculate interest using the LIBOR option mentioned above.

Wag!’s Earnout Shares

After the consummation of the Business Combination, Eligible Company Equityholders will have the contingent right to Earnout Shares and management will have the contingent right to Management Earnout Shares. The aggregate number of Earnout Shares and Management Earnout Shares is 10,000,000, and 5,000,000, shares of New Wag! common stock, respectively. The Earnout Shares and Management Earnout Shares will be issued following the Business Combination, as further described below.

226

Earnout Shares would only be issuable if certain New Wag! share price conditions are met over a three-year period from the effective merger date. The Earnout Shares are indexed to the Company’s stock, at each of the New Wag! share price targets of $12.50, $15.00, and $18.00.

The issuance of such Earnout Shares would dilute the value of all shares of New Wag! common stock outstanding at that time. Assuming the current capitalization structure, the approximately 3,333,333 Earnout Shares that would be issued upon meeting the $12.50 Earnout threshold, would represent approximately 7% of total shares outstanding for the no redemption scenarios set forth. Assuming the current capitalization structure, the approximately 3,333,333 Earnout Shares that would be issued upon meeting the $15.00 Earnout threshold, would represent approximately 7% of total shares outstanding for the no redemption scenarios set forth. Assuming the current capitalization structure, the approximately 3,333,334 Earnout Shares that would be issued upon meeting the $18.00 Earnout threshold, would represent approximately 7% of total shares outstanding for the no redemption scenarios set forth.

The issuance of such Management Earnout Shares would dilute the value of all shares of New Wag! common stock outstanding at that time. Assuming the current capitalization structure, the approximately 1,666,667 Management Earnout Shares that would be issued upon meeting the $12.50 Management Earnout threshold, would represent approximately 4% of total shares outstanding for the no redemption scenarios set forth. Assuming the current capitalization structure, the approximately 1,666,667 Management Earnout Shares that would be issued upon meeting the $15.00 Management Earnout threshold, would represent approximately 4% of total shares outstanding for the no redemption scenarios set forth. Assuming the current capitalization structure, the approximately 1,666,666 Management Earnout Shares that would be issued upon meeting the $18.00 Earnout threshold, would represent approximately 4% of total shares outstanding for the no redemption scenarios set forth.

The Company has preliminarily concluded that the Earnout Shares and Management Earnout Shares issuable to Eligible Company Equityholders are accounted for as equity instruments under ASC 815-40. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information gives effect to the impacts from such Earnout Shares and Management Earnout Shares on the unaudited pro forma combined financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021.

The following unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2022 is based on unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of CHW and Wag!. The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 is based on unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of CHW and Wag!. The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2021, is based on the historical audited financial statements of CHW and Wag!. The assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes. Actual results may differ materially from the assumptions used to present the accompanying unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1.

Description of the Business Combination

On February 2, 2022, CHW and Merger Sub, the wholly owned subsidiary of CHW, entered into the Business Combination Agreement with Wag!. CHW is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, and subsequent to the domestication will change its name to “Wag! Group Co.”. Merger Sub will merge with and into Wag! and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease. Wag! will be the surviving company in the Merger, and a wholly owned subsidiary of CHW, with Wag! equity holders holding the majority of the common stock of New Wag!.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the aggregate stock consideration issued by the Post-Combination Company in the Business Combination will be $551.0 million, $488.5 million and $425.8 million, consisting of 55,103,320, 48,853,320, and 42,589,993 newly issued shares, under no redemptions, 50% redemptions, and maximum redemptions scenarios, respectively, of the Post-Combination Company valued at $10.00 per share. Under all scenarios, Wag! equityholders will receive up to $386.3 million in the form of 38,635,820 shares of the Post-Combination Company. CHW public shareholders will receive $125.0 million in the form of 12,500,000 newly issued shares of Wag! assuming no redemptions and the PIPE will receive $5.0 million in the form of 500,000 newly issued shares. The Sponsor Anchor Investors, Chardan, and Founders will receive $31.7 million, $31.7 million, and $31.5 million, consisting of 3,167,500, 3,167,500 and 3,154,173 newly issued shares, in exchange for CHW’s existing ordinary shares, under no redemptions, 50% redemptions, and maximum redemptions scenarios, respectively. The following represents the consideration at closing of the Business Combination (in millions):

​	Assuming No Redemptions			Assuming 50% Redemptions			Assuming Maximum Redemptions
Share issuance to Wag Labs, Inc. shareholders(1)	​	$	386.3	​	$	386.3	​	$	386.3
Share issuance to CHW Acquisition Corporation shareholders	​	​	125.0	​	​	62.5	​	​	—
Share issuance to Subscriber(s)(2)	​	​	5.0	​	​	5.0	​	​	5.0
Share issuance to Sponsor	​	​	31.7	​	​	31.7	​	​	31.5
New Wag! Community Shares(3)	​	​	3.0	​	​	3.0	​	​	3.0
Share Consideration – at Closing	​	$	551.0	​	$	488.5	​	$	425.8

(1)

The share consideration presently expected to be transferred to Wag! shareholders based on the Business Combination Agreement includes (i) $300.0 million to holders of issued and outstanding Wag! common stock, (ii) $11 million to holders of Series P Shares; (iii) $1.7 million to be issued to holders of RSU Awards of Wag! common stock (assuming a value of $10 per share of New Wag! common stock); (iv) $73.6 million to historically issued holders of 7.4 million stock options of Wag! common stock (assuming a value of $10 per share of New Wag! common stock) issued prior to the Merger and excludes $15 million of Management Earnout and Earnout shares.

(2)

The share consideration presently expected to be transferred to the PIPE and Backstop Investor.

(3)

New Wag! Community Shares includes the issuance of 300,000 shares that New Wag! may distribute to members of the pet wellness and welfare community as identified by our officers and directors.

Basis of Presentation

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Under this method of accounting, CHW will be treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Wag! issuing shares for the net assets of CHW, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of CHW will be recognized at carrying value, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Therefore, any change in the Exchange Ratio will not impact the Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements because Wag! will account for the acquisition of CHW based on the amount of net assets acquired upon consummation.

232

Wag! has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:

•

Wag!’s shareholders will have a majority of the voting power under the no redemptions, 50% redemptions, and maximum redemptions scenarios;

•

Wag! will appoint the majority of the board of directors of the Post-Combination Company;

•

Wag!’s existing management will comprise the management of the Post-Combination Company;

•

Wag! will comprise the ongoing operations of the Post-Combination Company;

•

Wag! is the larger entity based on historical revenue and has the larger employee base.

The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2022, assumes that the Business Combination occurred on March 31, 2022. The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021 presents the pro forma effect of the Business Combination as if it had been completed on January 1, 2021 CHW is included from January 12, 2021, the date of its formation. These periods are presented on the basis of Wag! as the accounting acquirer.

The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2022, has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

•

CHW’s unaudited Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2022, and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and

•

Wag!’s unaudited condensed consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2022, and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction, with the following:

•

CHW’s unaudited Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the related notes, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and

•

Wag!’s unaudited Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and the related notes, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/​prospectus.

The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction, with the following:

•

CHW’s audited Statement of Operations for the period from January 12, 2021 (inception) to December 31, 2021 and the related notes, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/ prospectus; and

•

Wag!’s audited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the year ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/​prospectus.

Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”). As the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented. The related transaction accounting adjustments are based on currently available information and assumptions management believes are, under the circumstances and given the information available at this time, reasonable, and reflective of adjustments necessary to report Wag!’s financial condition and results of operations as if the Business Combination was completed. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments, and it is possible the difference may be material. CHW believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the Business Combination and related transactions contemplated based on information available to management at the time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.

233

The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings, or cost savings that may be associated with the Business Combination (“Management Adjustments”). Management has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and will only be presenting Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.

The unaudited pro forma condensed adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated.

The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Business Combination taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the post-combination company. The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto of each of CHW and Wag! included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Pursuant to CHW’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, CHW’s public shareholders may demand that CHW redeem their shares of Common Stock for cash if the Business Combination is consummated, irrespective of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination. If a public shareholder properly demands redemption of their shares, CHW will redeem each share for cash equal to the public shareholder’s pro rata portion of the trust account, calculated as of four to five business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the Business Combination.

The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information has been prepared assuming three alternative levels of cash redemptions of CHW’s Common Stock:

•

Assuming No Redemptions:   This presentation assumes that no CHW public shareholder exercises redemption rights with respect to its shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account.

•

Assuming 50% Redemptions:   This presentation assumes that 6,250,000 CHW ordinary shares are redeemed for their pro rata share (assumed redemption price of $10.00 per share based on the funds held in the Trust Account as of March 31, 2022) for aggregate redemption proceeds of $62.5 million. This 50% redemption scenario is based on 50% of the maximum number of redemptions which may occur but which would still provide, PIPE financing proceeds of $5.0 million and loan proceeds of $30 million before giving effect to the payment of the estimated transaction costs of $13.9 million, incurred in connection with the Merger, and CHW’s deferred underwriting commissions of $4.4 million from its IPO.

•

Assuming Maximum Redemptions:   This presentation assumes that 12,500,000 CHW ordinary shares are redeemed for their pro rata share (assumed redemption price of $10.00 per share based on the funds held in the Trust Account as of March 31, 2022) for aggregate redemption proceeds of $125.0 million. This maximum redemption scenario is based on the maximum number of redemptions which may occur but which would still provide, PIPE financing proceeds of $5.0 million and loan proceeds of $30 million before giving effect to the payment of the estimated transaction costs of $13.9 million and CHW’s deferred underwriting commissions of $4.4 million from its IPO.

The actual results will be within the parameters described by the three scenarios. However, there can be no assurance regarding which scenario will be closest to the actual results.

The following summarizes the pro forma Post-Combination Company shares outstanding under the three scenarios:

(1)

This presentation assumes that CHW public shareholders holding 12.5 million public shares will exercise their redemption rights at a value of $10.00 per share for 62.5 million shares worth $62.5 million and 12.5 million shares worth $125.0 million of funds in the Trust Account under the 50% redemptions and maximum redemptions scenarios, respectively.

(2)

This presentation include 720,000 shares issued to the Anchor investors and 62,500 shares issued to Chardan. Additionally, the number of shares presented under the maximum redemptions scenario includes cancellation of 13,327 founder shares in connection with the Closing pursuant to paragraph 5 of the CHW Founders Stock Letter, 20,000 founders shares in connection with the Closing pursuant to paragraph 6 of the CHW Founders Stock Letter under each scenario, and assumes no founder shares are forfeited in connection with price targets or issuance of New Wag!.

(3)

New Wag! Community Shares includes the issuance of 300,000 shares that New Wag! may distribute to members of the pet wellness and welfare community as identified by our officers and directors.

Accounting Policies

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, management will perform a comprehensive review of the two entities’ accounting policies. As a result of the review, management may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two entities which, when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial statements of the Post-Combination Company.

2.

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Business Combination and has been prepared for informational purposes only.

The historical unaudited financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information to give pro forma effect to events that directly reflect the accounting for the transaction. Wag! and CHW have not had any historical relationship prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

The pro forma condensed combined provision for income taxes does not necessarily reflect the amounts that would have resulted had the Post-Combination Company filed consolidated income tax returns during the periods presented.

235

The pro forma basic and diluted loss per share amounts presented in the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations are based upon the number of the Post-Combination Company’s shares outstanding, assuming the Business Combination occurred on January 1, 2021.

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet

The adjustments included in the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2022, are as follows:

(A)

Represents adjustment to cash as follows, assuming no redemptions:

​	(in thousands)			​
Release of cash from trust account	​	$	125,013	(i)
PIPE and Backstop Investor	​	​	5,000	(ii)
Payment of transaction costs	​	​	(12,267)	(iii)
Issuance cost related to the Secured Note	​	​	(1,250)	(vi)
Payment of CHW Acquisition Corporation’s deferred underwriting fee	​	​	(4,375)	(iv)
Secured Note	​	​	30,000	(v)
​	​	$	142,121	​

(i)

Represents the reclassification of cash equivalents held in the trust account, including interest of $13,000, and to reflect that the cash equivalents are available to effectuate the transaction or to pay redeeming CHW public shareholders.

(ii)

Represents proceeds received from the issuance of 0.5 million of New Wag! common stock, in a private placement to be consummated contingent with the closing of the Business Combination. The unaudited Pro Forma Balance Sheet reflects the issuance of these shares with a corresponding increase of $5 million to additional paid in-capital and an increase of less than $0.1 million to New Wag! common stock.

(iii)

Represents preliminary estimated transaction costs of Wag! of approximately $9.5 million, and $4.4 million for CHW for legal, financial advisory, and other professional fees incurred in consummating the Business Combination less $1.7 million paid in cash through March 31, 2022 and $1.25 million in issuance costs related to the secured note listed separately. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet reflects the Wag! costs of $9.5 million as a reduction of cash with a corresponding decrease in additional paid-in capital for transaction costs incurred by Wag!. The transaction costs of CHW Acquisition Corporation of $4.4 million are reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as a reduction of cash, with a corresponding increase in accumulated deficit, as these costs are expensed as incurred.

(iv)

The $4.4 million adjustment eliminates CHW Acquisition Corporation’s deferred underwriting fees and expenses expected to be paid as part of its Acquisition Agreement with Wag!. Such amounts will become payable on completion of the transaction and $2.3 million is presented in CHW’s accrued liabilities.

(v)

The $30 million adjustment increases both the current and non-current note payable and is expected to be incurred as part of its Credit Facility assumed from CHW Acquisition Corporation.

(vi)

Represents issuance costs of the Credit Facility assumed from CHW Acquisition Corporation of $1.25 million.

(B)

Represents Wag!’s accrued offering costs of $2.1 million of which $1.7 million has been paid in cash.

(C)

Represents the reclassification of cash and cash equivalents, including interest, held in the trust account and to reflect that the cash and cash equivalents are available to effectuate the transaction or to pay redeeming CHW Acquisition Corporation public shareholders.

(D)

Represents accrued and unpaid deferred offering costs of $0.4 million for Wag! and $2.1 million for CHW.

236

(E)

Represents issuance of Secured Note of $30 million. The Secured Note will have a three-year term from the closing date of the Secured Note. The Secured Note is subject to quarterly amortization payments of principal, in an aggregate amount equal to 2% of the principal amount of the Credit Facility in the first year after closing, 3% of the principal amount of the Credit Facility in the second year after closing, and 5% of the principal amount of the Credit Facility in the third year after closing. The remaining principal balance is payable in full on the Maturity Date. The Credit Facility will bear interest at a floating rate of interest equal to, at the borrower’s option, LIBOR plus 10.00% per annum or the base rate plus 9.00% per annum, with the base rate defined as the greatest of (i) the prime rate announced by the Wall Street Journal from time to time, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.00%.

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the three months ended ended March 31, 2022 are as follows:

(AA) Represents expense from RSUs of $3 thousand and were considered a transaction accounting adjustment because the vesting of these awards are triggered, in part, by the Acquisition Merger.

(AB) Represents $0.9 million of interest expense, calculated using the LIBOR rate of 1.6% plus 10.00% per annum as specified in the Credit Facility Commitment Letter, and $0.2 million of amortization of debt discount related to the Credit Facility.

Loss per share represents the net loss per share calculated using the historical weighted average shares outstanding, and the issuance of additional shares in connection with the Business Combination, assuming the shares were outstanding since January 1, 2021. As the Business Combination, including related proposed equity purchases, is being reflected as if it had occurred at the beginning of the period presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the shares issuable in connection with the Business Combination have been outstanding for the entire period presented. If the maximum number of ordinary shares of CHW are redeemed, this calculation is retroactively adjusted to eliminate such shares for the entire periods.

For the Year Ended December 31, 2021

The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 are as follows:

(AD) Represents stock compensation expense recorded to Platform operations and support of $4.1 million and sales and marketing of $2.9 million; General and administrative of $27.0 million related to the Management Earnout Shares and expense from RSUs of $27 thousand that were considered a transaction accounting adjustment because the vesting of these awards are triggered, in part, by the Acquisition Merger.

(AE) Represents $3.5 million of interest expense, calculated using the LIBOR rate of 1.6% plus 10.00% per annum as specified in the Credit Facility Commitment Letter, and $0.8 million of amortization of debt discount related to the Credit Facility.

Loss per share represents the net loss per share calculated using the historical weighted average shares outstanding, and the issuance of additional shares in connection with the Business Combination, assuming the shares were outstanding since January 1, 2021. As the Business Combination, including related proposed equity purchases, is being reflected as if it had occurred at the beginning of the period presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the shares issuable in connection with the Business Combination have been outstanding for the entire period presented. If the maximum number of ordinary shares of CHW are redeemed, this calculation is retroactively adjusted to eliminate such shares for the entire periods.

INFORMATION ABOUT CHW

General

CHW is a blank check company incorporated on January 12, 2021 as a Cayman Islands exempted company organized 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 (the “initial business combination”).

Initial Public Offering and Private Placement

On September 1, 2021, CHW consummated its initial public offering of 12,500,000 units (the “units”), which included 1,500,000 units issued pursuant to the partial exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option. Each unit consists of one ordinary share, $0.0001 par value per share (the “shares”), and one public warrant, each public warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $125,000,000.

Concurrently with the completion of CHW’s initial public offering, the Sponsor entered into a Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Sponsor purchased 4,238,636 private placement warrants, each exercisable to purchase one ordinary share at $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, at a price of $1.00 per warrant.

Fair Market Value of Target Business

The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) rules require that the initial business combination must occur with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting discount held in trust) at the time of CHW signing a definitive agreement in connection with the initial business combination. CHW’s board of directors has determined that this test was met in connection with the proposed business combination at the time the Business Combination Agreement was signed.

Effecting the Initial Business Combination

General

CHW is not presently engaged in any operations other than to seek an initial business combination. CHW intends to effectuate the initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of its initial public offering and the sale of the private placement warrants to the Sponsor, the PIPE and Backstop Investment described herein and the Closing Seller Equity Consideration.

Shareholder Approval of the Business Combination and Redemption

Pursuant to the terms of the proposed business combination, as described in the section titled “The Extraordinary General Meeting” in this proxy statement/prospectus, CHW is seeking shareholder approval at a meeting called for such purpose at which public shareholders may seek to redeem all or a portion of their ordinary shares for cash at a price per share equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the proposed business combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to CHW to pay its income taxes, if any, divided by the number of then-outstanding ordinary shares in accordance with the procedures set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. The redemption rights require that a beneficial holder must identify itself in order to validly redeem its shares. There will be No redemption rights upon the completion of the proposed business combination with respect to CHW’s warrants. Further, CHW will not proceed with redeeming its ordinary shares, even if a public shareholder has properly elected to redeem its shares, if the proposed business combination does not close.

The approval of the Business Combination requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares who, being present and entitled

241

to vote at the Special Meeting, vote at the Special Meeting. A majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding CHW ordinary shares entitled to vote at the Special Meeting must be present, in person or represented by proxy, at the Special Meeting to constitute a quorum and in order to conduct business at the Special Meeting. The holders of the founder shares, who currently own approximately 15% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares, will count towards this quorum.

Voting Restrictions in Connection with Shareholder Meeting

The Sponsor and each member of CHW’s management team have entered into an agreement with CHW, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares and public shares held by them in connection with (i) the completion of the proposed business combination, and (ii) a shareholder vote to approve the amendments to CHW’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of CHW’s obligation to provide holders of its ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with the proposed business combination or to redeem 100% of its public shares if CHW does not complete the initial business combination within 15 months from the closing of its initial public offering or during any extension period or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of CHW’s ordinary shares. No consideration was received by the Sponsor or the members of CHW’s management team for their waiver of redemption rights.

Liquidation If No Initial Business Combination

CHW’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that it will have only 15 months from the closing of its initial public offering to consummate an initial business combination. If CHW has not consummated an initial business combination within 15 months from the closing of its initial public offering, it 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 the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to CHW to pay its income taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of the then-outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of CHW’s remaining shareholders and its board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to its 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 CHW’s warrants, which will expire and be worthless if CHW fails to consummate an initial business combination within 15 months from the closing of its initial public offering. CHW’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that, if it winds up for any other reason prior to the consummation of the initial business combination, CHW will follow the foregoing procedures with respect to the liquidation of the Trust Account as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, subject to applicable Cayman Islands law.

The Sponsor and each member of CHW’s management team have entered into an agreement with CHW, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any founder shares they hold if CHW fails to consummate an initial business combination within 15 months from the closing of its initial public offering or during any extension period (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if CHW fails to complete the initial business combination within the prescribed time frame).

The Sponsor and CHW’s executive officers and directors have agreed, pursuant to a written agreement with CHW, that they will not propose any amendment to CHW’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of CHW’s obligation to provide holders of CHW’s ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with the initial business combination or to redeem 100% of CHW’s public shares if it does not complete the initial business combination within 15 months from the closing of its initial public offering or (B) with respect to any other

242

provision relating to the rights of holders of CHW’s ordinary shares, unless CHW provides its 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 funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to CHW to pay its income taxes, if any, divided by the number of the then-outstanding public shares.

CHW expects that all costs and expenses associated with implementing its plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, will be funded from amounts remaining out of the funds held outside the Trust Account plus up to $100,000 of funds from the Trust Account available to CHW to pay dissolution expenses, although CHW cannot assure you that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose.

If CHW were to expend all of the net proceeds of its initial public offering and the sale of the private placement warrants, other than the proceeds deposited in the Trust Account, and without taking into account interest, if any, earned on the Trust Account, the per-share redemption amount received by shareholders upon CHW’s dissolution would be $10.00. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however, become subject to the claims of CHW’s creditors which would have higher priority than the claims of CHW’s public shareholders. CHW cannot assure you that the actual per-share redemption amount received by shareholders will not be less than $10.00. While CHW intends to pay such amounts, if any, CHW cannot assure you that it will have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors’ claims.

Although CHW will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses and other entities with which it does business execute agreements with it waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of its public shareholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account including, but not limited, to fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage with respect to a claim against CHW’s assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, CHW’s management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will only enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver if management believes that such third party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to CHW than any alternative. Examples of possible instances where CHW may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. Chardan, as sole book-running manager in connection with CHW’s initial public offering, did not execute an agreement with CHW waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account.

In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with CHW and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to CHW if and to the extent any claims by (A) a third party for services rendered or products sold to CHW (other than CHW’s independent registered public accounting firm), or (B) a prospective target business with which CHW has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amounts in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.00 per public share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay CHW’s tax obligations, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business that executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account nor will it apply to any claims under CHW’s indemnity of the underwriters of its initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under 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. However, CHW has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has CHW independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and CHW believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of CHW. Therefore, CHW cannot assure you that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. None of CHW’s officers or directors will indemnify CHW for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

243

In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.00 per public share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case, net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay CHW’s income tax obligations, and the Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its indemnification obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, CHW’s independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While CHW currently expects that its independent directors would take legal action on CHW’s behalf against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to CHW, it is possible that CHW’s independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance. Accordingly, CHW cannot assure you that due to claims of creditors the actual value of the per-share redemption price will not be less than $10.00 per public share.

CHW 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, prospective target businesses or other entities with which CHW does business execute agreements with it waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. The Sponsor will also not be liable as to any claims under CHW’s indemnity of the underwriters of its initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. CHW has had access to up to $687,581 following its initial public offering and the sale of the private placement warrants with which to pay any such potential claims (including costs and expenses incurred in connection with its liquidation, currently estimated to be no more than approximately $100,000). In the event that CHW liquidates and it is subsequently determined that the reserve for claims and liabilities is insufficient, shareholders who received funds from CHW’s Trust Account could be liable for claims made by creditors, however such liability will not be greater than the amount of funds from the Trust Account received by any such shareholder.

If CHW files a bankruptcy or winding-up petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or winding-up petition is filed against CHW that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law, and may be included in its bankruptcy or insolvency estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of CHW’s shareholders. To the extent any bankruptcy or insolvency claims deplete the Trust Account, CHW cannot assure you it will be able to return $10.00 per public share to its public shareholders. Additionally, if CHW files a bankruptcy or winding-up petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or winding-up petition is filed against it that is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy or insolvency laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy or insolvency court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by CHW’s shareholders. Furthermore, CHW’s board of directors may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to CHW’s creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and CHW to claims of punitive damages, by paying public shareholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. CHW cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against CHW for these reasons.

CHW’s public shareholders will be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only (i) in the event of the redemption of CHW’s public shares if it does not complete the initial business combination within 15 months from the closing of its initial public offering, (ii) in connection with a shareholder vote to amend CHW’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of its obligation to provide holders of its ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with the initial business combination or to redeem 100% of its public shares if it does not complete the initial business combination within 15 months from the closing of its initial public offering or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of CHW’s ordinary shares, or (iii) if they redeem their respective shares for cash upon the completion of the initial business combination. Public shareholders who redeem their ordinary shares in connection with a shareholder vote described in clause (ii) in the preceding sentence shall not be entitled to funds from the Trust Account upon the subsequent completion of an initial business combination or liquidation if CHW has not consummated an initial business combination within 15 months from the closing of its initial public offering, with respect to such ordinary shares so redeemed. In no other circumstances will a shareholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the Trust Account. In connection with the proposed business combination, a shareholder’s voting alone

244

will not result in a shareholder’s redeeming its shares to CHW for an applicable pro rata share of the Trust Account. Such shareholder must have also exercised its redemption rights described above.

Facilities

CHW currently maintains its executive offices at 2 Manhattanville Road, Suite 403, Purchase, New York 10577. The cost for CHW’s use of this space is included in the $10,000 per month fee it will pay to an affiliate of the Sponsor for office space, administrative and support services. CHW considers its current office space adequate for its current operations.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the principal executive offices of New Wag! will be those at 55 Francisco Street, Suite 360, San Francisco, CA 94133, at which time nothing more will be paid to such affiliate of the Sponsor.

Employees

CHW currently has four executive officers. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to CHW’s matters but they intend to devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to CHW’s affairs until it has completed the initial business combination. The amount of time they will devote in any time period will vary based on the stage of the business combination process CHW is in. CHW does not intend to have any full time employees prior to the completion of the initial business combination.

Periodic Reporting and Financial Information

CHW’s units, ordinary shares and warrants are registered under the Exchange Act, and CHW has reporting obligations, including the requirement that it file annual, quarterly and current reports with the SEC. In accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, CHW’s annual reports contain financial statements audited and reported on by its independent registered public accountants.

CHW will be required to evaluate its internal control procedures for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Only in the event that CHW is deemed to be a large accelerated filer or an accelerated filer and no longer qualifies as an emerging growth company, will CHW not be required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirement on its internal control over financial reporting.

CHW is a Cayman Islands exempted company. Exempted companies are Cayman Islands companies conducting business mainly outside the Cayman Islands and, as such, are exempted from complying with certain provisions of the Cayman Islands Companies Act. As an exempted company, CHW has applied for and received a tax exemption undertaking from the Cayman Islands government that, in accordance with Section 6 of the Tax Concessions Act (2018 Revision) of the Cayman Islands, for a period of 20 years from the date of the undertaking, No law which is enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations will apply to CHW or its operations and, in addition, that No tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations or which is in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax will be payable (i) on or in respect of CHW’s shares, debentures or other obligations or (ii) by way of the withholding in whole or in part of a payment of dividend or other distribution of income or capital by CHW to its shareholders or a payment of principal or interest or other sums due under a debenture or other obligation of CHW.

CHW is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. As such, CHW is eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in CHW’s periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding

advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find CHW’s securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for CHW’s securities and the prices of its securities may be more volatile.

245

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. CHW intends to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.

CHW will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of the CHW IPO, (b) in which CHW has total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, or (c) in which CHW is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of its ordinary shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30, and (2) the date on which CHW has issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.

Additionally, CHW is a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K.

Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. CHW will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (1) the market value of its ordinary shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $250 million as of the prior June 30, or (2) its annual revenues exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of its ordinary shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30.

Legal Proceedings

We received three private demand letters from purported shareholders in connection with the proposed de-SPAC transaction between CHW and Wag! The demand letters seek certain supplemental disclosures and threaten to assert claims under the federal securities laws against CHW and its board of directors if the disclosures are not made. As of this date, no litigation has been filed.

From time to time, we may be subject to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business, including claims relating to personal injury and indemnification, property damage, intellectual property, labor and employment (particularly in jurisdictions where the laws with respect to the liability of online marketplaces or the employment classification of service providers who use online marketplaces are uncertain, unfavorable or unclear), threatened litigation, breach of contract, liability of online marketplaces, and other matters. In addition, from time to time, we receive communications from government or regulatory agencies concerning investigations or allegations of noncompliance with laws or regulations in jurisdictions in which we operate. At this time, and except as is noted below, we are unable to predict the outcome of, and cannot reasonably estimate the impact of, any pending litigation matters, matters concerning allegations of non-compliance with laws or regulations and matters concerning other allegations of other improprieties, or the incidence of any such matters in the future. While litigation is inherently unpredictable, we believe we have valid defenses with respect to the legal matters pending against us. For additional information on risks relating to litigation, please see the section titled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Company — Wag! is subject to claims and lawsuits relating to intellectual property and other related matters, which could materially adversely affect Wag!’s reputation, business and financial condition; Wag! is subject to claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings seeking to hold Wag! vicariously liable for the actions of pets, Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers; Wag! is subject to regulatory inquiries, claims, lawsuits, government investigations, various proceedings and other disputes and may face potential liability and expenses for legal claims, which could materially adversely affect Wag!’s business, operating results and financial condition; Wag!’s business is subject to a variety of U.S. laws and regulations, many of which are unsettled and still developing and failure to comply with such laws and regulations could subject Wag! to claims or otherwise adversely affect Wag!’s business, financial condition, or operating results; If Pet Caregivers are reclassified as employees under applicable law, Wag!’s business would be materially adversely affected.”

Number and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors

CHW’s board of directors consists of eight members and is divided into three classes, with only one class of directors being appointed in each year, and with each class (except for those directors appointed prior to CHW’s first annual general meeting) serving a three-year term. In accordance with the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, we are not required to hold an annual general meeting until one year after our first fiscal year end following our listing on Nasdaq.

250

Prior to the completion of an initial business combination, any vacancy on the board of directors may be filled by a nominee chosen by holders of a majority of our founder shares. In addition, prior to the completion of an initial business combination, holders of a majority of our founder shares may remove a member of the board of directors for any reason.

Our officers are appointed by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors, rather than for specific terms of office. Our board of directors is authorized to appoint persons to the offices set forth in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association as it deems appropriate. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that our officers may consist of one or more chairman of the board, chief executive officer, president, chief financial officer, vice presidents, secretary, treasurer and such other offices as may be determined by the board of directors.

Director Independence

Nasdaq listing standards require that a majority of our board of directors be independent within one year of our initial public offering. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship which in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our board of directors has determined that each of Ms. Benovitz, Messrs. Johnson, Reiser, and Tickle, and Ms. Weinswig, are “independent directors” as defined in the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules. Our audit committee is entirely composed of independent directors meeting Nasdaq’s additional requirements applicable to members of the audit committee. Our independent directors will have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

Executive Officer and Director Compensation

None of CHW’s executive officers or directors have received any cash compensation for services rendered to CHW. Since the consummation of CHW’s initial public offering and until the earlier of the consummation of the initial business combination and CHW’s liquidation, CHW will reimburse the Sponsor for office space and secretarial and administrative services provided to CHW, in an amount not to exceed $10,000 per month. In addition, CHW’s Sponsor, executive officers and directors and their respective affiliates are being reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities conducted on CHW’s behalf, such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. CHW’s audit committee reviews all payments that CHW makes to the Sponsor, executive officers and directors and their respective affiliates on a quarterly basis. Any such payments prior to an initial business combination are made using funds held outside of the Trust Account. Other than quarterly audit committee review of such reimbursements, CHW does not expect to have any additional controls in place for governing reimbursement payments to its directors and executive officers for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred on behalf of CHW and in connection with identifying and consummating an initial business combination. Other than these payments and reimbursements, no compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, is paid by CHW to the Sponsor, executive officers and directors or any of their respective affiliates, prior to completion of the initial business combination.

CHW does not intend to take any action to ensure that members of its management team maintain their positions with CHW after the consummation of the proposed business combination, although it is possible that some or all of CHW’s executive officers and directors may negotiate employment or consulting arrangements to remain with CHW after the proposed business combination. CHW is not party to any agreements with its executive officers and directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Pursuant to Nasdaq rules, our board of directors has two standing committees: an audit committee and a compensation committee. Subject to phase-in rules and a limited exception, the rules of Nasdaq and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors, and the rules of Nasdaq require that the compensation committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors.

251

Audit Committee

Messrs. Johnson and Reiser and Ms. Weinswig serve as members of our audit committee. Mr. Johnson serves as the chairman of the audit committee. Under the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have at least three members of the audit committee, all of whom must be independent, subject to certain phase-in provisions. Each such person meets the independent director standard under Nasdaq listing standards and under Rule 10-A-3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act.

Each member of the audit committee is financially literate and our board of directors has determined that Mr. Johnson qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules.

We adopted an audit committee charter, which details the purpose and principal functions of the audit committee, including:

•

assisting board oversight of (i) the integrity of our financial statements, (ii) our compliance with leg and regulatory requirements, (iii) our independent auditor’s qualifications and independence, and (iv) the performance of our internal audit function and independent auditors;

•

the appointment, compensation, retention, replacement, and oversight of the work of the independent auditors and any other independent registered public accounting firm engaged by us;

•

pre-approving all audit and non-audit services to be provided by the independent auditors or any other registered public accounting firm engaged by us, and establishing pre-approval policies and procedures;

•

reviewing and discussing with the independent auditors all relationships the auditors have with us in order to evaluate their continued independence;

•

setting clear hiring policies for employees or former employees of the independent auditors;

•

obtaining and reviewing a report, at least annually, from the independent auditors describing (i) the independent auditor’s internal quality-control procedures and (ii) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the audit firm, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities, within, the preceding five years respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the firm and any steps taken to deal with such issues;

•

meeting to review and discuss our annual audited financial statements and quarterly financial statements with management and the independent auditor, including reviewing our specific disclosures under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”;

•

reviewing and approving any related party transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC prior to us entering into such transaction; and

•

reviewing with management, the independent auditors, and our legal advisors, as appropriate, any legal, regulatory or compliance matters, including any correspondence with regulators or government agencies and any employee complaints or published reports that raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies and any significant changes in accounting standards or rules promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC or other regulatory authorities.

Compensation Committee

Ms. Benovitz and Mr. Tickle serve as members of our compensation committee. Mr. Tickle serves as the chairman of the compensation committee. Under the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have at least two members of the compensation committee, all of whom must be independent, subject to certain phase-in provisions. Each such person meets the independent director standard under Nasdaq listing standards applicable to members of the compensation committee.

We adopted a compensation committee charter, which details the purpose and principal functions of the compensation committee, including:

252

•

reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation (if any is paid by us), evaluating our Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our Chief Executive Officer based on such evaluation;

•

reviewing and making recommendations to our board of directors with respect to the compensation, any incentive-compensation and equity-based plans that are subject to board approval of all of our other officers;

•

reviewing our executive compensation policies and plans;

•

implementing and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans;

•

assisting management in complying with our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements;

•

approving all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our officers and employees;

•

producing a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement; and

•

reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, as indicated above, other than reimbursement of expenses and as set forth below, no compensation of any kind, including finder’s, consulting or other similar fees, will be paid to any of our existing shareholders, officers, directors or any of their respective affiliates, prior to, or for any services they render in order to complete the consummation of a business combination although we may consider cash or other compensation to officers or advisors we may hire subsequent to this offering to be paid either prior to or in connection with our initial business combination.

Accordingly, it is likely that prior to the consummation of an initial business combination, the compensation committee will only be responsible for the review and recommendation of any compensation arrangements to be entered into in connection with such initial business combination.

The charter provides that the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, independent legal counsel or other adviser and will be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the compensation committee will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by Nasdaq and the SEC.

Director Nominations

We do not have a standing nominating committee though we intend to form a corporate governance and nominating committee as and when required to do so by law or Nasdaq rules. In accordance with Rule 5605 of the Nasdaq rules, a majority of the independent directors may recommend a director nominee for selection by the board of directors. The board of directors believes that the independent directors can satisfactorily carry out the responsibility of properly selecting or approving director nominees without the formation of a standing nominating committee. The directors who will participate in the consideration and recommendation of director nominees are Ms. Benovitz, Messrs. Reiser and Tickle, and Ms. Weinswig. In accordance with Rule 5605 of the Nasdaq rules, all such directors are independent. As there is no standing nominating committee, we do not have a nominating committee charter in place.

We have not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. In general, in identifying and evaluating nominees for director, the board of directors considers educational background, diversity of professional experience, knowledge of our business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and the ability to represent the best interests of our shareholders.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of our officers currently serves, and in the past year has not served, (i) as a member of the compensation committee or board of directors of another entity, one of whose executive officers serves on

253

our compensation committee, or (ii) as a member of the compensation committee of another entity, one of whose executive officers serves on our board of directors.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of ethics and business conduct, which we refer to as the Code of Ethics, applicable to our directors, officers and employees. We have filed a copy of our form of Code of Ethics, audit committee charter and compensation committee charter as exhibits to our registration statement on Form S-1 (File Nos. 333-254422 and 333-259182). You may review these documents by accessing our public filings at the SEC’s web site at sec.report. In addition, a copy of the Code of Ethics will be provided without charge upon request from us. We intend to disclose any amendments to or waivers of certain provisions of our Code of Ethics in a Current Report on Form 8-K. See “Additional Information.”

INFORMATION ABOUT WAG!

Business Summary

Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references in this Business Summary to the company, “we,” “us” “our,” “Wag!,” and other similar terms refer to Wag Labs, Inc. and its subsidiaries prior to the Business Combination and to New Wag! and its consolidated subsidiaries after giving effect to the Business Combination.

Mission and Purpose

Our mission is to be the #1 partner to busy Pet Parents. We believe that being busy shouldn’t stop Pet Parents from owning or taking care of their pets. We are dedicated to building a future in which every pet has access to safe, high-quality care. This future will be built by a passionate community of pet lovers who want to spend their time creating joy for pets and those who love them. Wag! is the technology platform for building that future, and we are just getting started.

Wag! exists to make pet ownership possible and to bring joy to pets and those who love them. We are committed to maximizing the happiness of pets and Pet Parents alike. Your furry family member deserves our best, and that’s what we deliver every day, through thoughtful innovation and dedicated team support.

Our Business

Wag! develops and supports a proprietary marketplace technology platform available as a website and mobile app that enables independent Pet Caregivers to connect with Pet Parents. The platform allows Pet Parents, who require specific pet care services, to make service requests in the platform, which are then fulfilled by Pet Caregivers. Wag! supports dog walking, pet sitting and boarding, advice from licensed pet experts, home visits, training, and access to other services in 5,300 U.S. cities across all 50 states. From our founding in 2015 through March 2022, we have approved over 400,000 Pet Caregivers and there have been over 12.1 million services completed through the Wag! platform. Wag! exists to make pet ownership possible and bring joy to pets and those who love them.

Our company was founded in 2015 and born from a love of dogs and an entrepreneurial spirit with the aim to make Pet Parenthood just a little bit easier so dogs and their humans can share a fulfilling life full of joyful moments. We developed on-demand dog walking by connecting an already passionate community of local pet lovers and caregivers with Pet Parents. We built a platform where Pet Parents can find Pet Caregivers who want to earn extra income. We believe that these connections not only enable better care for pets, but also create joy for both parties, and so we sought to radically simplify the logistics of pet care. We built a simple and easy-to-use platform to enable Pet Parents to discover, book, pay, and review Pet Caregivers online or in our mobile app.

For Pet Caregivers, we built tools to easily create a listing in the Wag! platform, along with simple tools for promoting their profile online, scheduling and booking service opportunities, communicating with Pet Parents, and receiving payment. To assist both Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers, we invested in a customer service team available 24/7 to support them along the way. To be a brand dedicated to trust and safety, we thoroughly vet and screen all Pet Caregivers, and provide up to $1 million property damage protection, subject to certain terms and conditions.

Based on an internal survey conducted in 2018-2019, 90% of our new Pet Parents reported that they never used a dog walker before joining the Wag! platform; after joining, our Pet Parents used Wag! dog walking services four to five times per month on average. With over 400,000 caregivers, our network of caregivers enables us to facilitate connections between pet, parent, and caregiver to best meet the unique needs and preferences of all members of the community. Our results speak for themselves — Pet Parents love Wag!. Based on internal reporting, from inception through March 2022, Pet Parents have written over 11 million reviews, more than 96% of which have earned five stars.

The U.S. retail sales of pet products and services reached $103.6 billion in 2020, up $6.5 billion from 2019, driven largely by the spike in the pet population due to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the APPA. The APPA presented that $123.6 billion was spent on our pets in 2021. We believe the demand for

255

high-quality, personalized pet care far exceeds the existing market due to the increases in pet adoption and return to office policies being implemented. Based on an industry survey conducted by PwC in November and December 2020, 75% of U.S. executives anticipate at least half of the office workforce will return to office full-time by mid-2022. The APPA shows that the total addressable market for pet wellness is $34 billion and $10 billion for pet services.

We have experienced consistent strong growth over the past 24 months, increasing quarterly revenue by a multiple of 6 from Q2 2020 to Q1 2022. As of March 2022, we had more than $325 million worth of bookings and served over 1.1 million Pet Parents. Wag! Wellness has also experienced significant increases in revenue from March 2021 to March 2022, increasing by a multiple of 17 during that time. We generate wellness revenue through affiliate fees, in which we are compensated for end users that are directed to the third party by our platform and, depending on the specific provider, when such end users purchase pet insurance plans from those third-party providers.

We are committed to improving the quality of life for all pets. To give back to our communities, we donate a portion of the proceeds from each walk to local shelters. Through March 2022, we have donated over 16.5 million meals to pets in need through our partnership with the Greater Good Rescue Bank Program. We have also partnered with the Humane Society of the United States to give back to the community.

We derive revenue from four distinct streams: (1) service fees charged to Pet Caregivers, (2) subscription and other fees paid by Pet Parents for Wag! Premium, (3) joining fees paid by Pet Caregivers to join and be listed on our platform, and (4) wellness revenue through affiliate fees.

When we look to the future, we believe that there are a number of opportunities to expand our pet services platform. By accelerating growth in existing markets, expanding subscription services, and expanding our platform, we believe we can continue to grow and progress towards being the premier pet wellness platform.

Pets and Pet Parents

According to the 2021-2022 APPA National Pet Owners Survey, 70% of U.S. households own a pet, which equates to 90.5 million homes. This is an increase of 3% from last year. For example, one-in-five households in the United States adopted a pet during the pandemic, based on a poll conducted in May 2021 by ASPCA. In an era of social distancing during the pandemic, pet companionship and love has never been more important. Led by Millennials and Generation Z, many Pet Parents increasingly consider the needs of their pets, not just equally important to those of the rest of the family, but more important. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, almost 90% of Pet Parents consider their pet a member of the family. This has led to increases in pet spending. During 2020, pet spending increased from 2019 with 35% of pet owners stating they spent more on their pet/pet supplies — including food, wellness-related products, and other pet care items — in the last 12 months than in the preceding year.

Existing Options for Pet Parents

For the millions of Pet Parents with travel plans or busy schedules, each existing care option presents its own disadvantages, especially for parents who have concerns that their pet will not receive enough individual care or human attention.

256

•

Family and Friends.   Most Pet Parents rely on family or friends to care for their pets. Pet Parents choose friends or family based on ease and familiarity. However, because the service is a favor, and not for pay, Pet Parents may feel unable to either specify or insist on particular levels of care.

•

Local Independent Providers.   Local shops and independent professionals often operate at small scale with little to no online presence, primarily relying on word of mouth and marketing solutions such as flyers and local ads. As a Pet Parent, it is difficult to know where to find reliable information, who to call, and who to trust.

•

Large Commercial Providers.   Large commercial providers, such as kennels and daycares, cannot meet the individual needs of Pet Parents. First, they are often expensive. Second, many pets are not compatible with the crowded nature of large providers. Finally, Pet Parents may not feel comfortable with the quality of care their pets may receive from a commercial provider.

•

Online Marketplaces.   Pet Parents can also access general purpose online aggregators and directories, such as Craigslist, Next-door, or Yelp, to find pet care providers. However, Pet Parents may lack trust in these directories, or find it difficult to find an available and appropriate pet care provider.

Pet Parent’s Wants and Needs

Wag! was founded to make pet ownership possible because we believe that being busy shouldn’t stop someone from owning or taking care of their pet. We believed a platform like ours could better address Pet Parents’ basic pet care needs — and that doing so represented an enormous business opportunity. We wanted to offer exceptional quality, ease of use, and affordability that, if brought to market, could delight Pet Parents everywhere. In short, Pet Parents want:

•

A positive stress-free experience for their pets.   Pet Parents want regular reassurance that their pets feel as comfortable as they would at home. While some commercial providers try to address this need with innovations like pet webcams, Pet Parents often desire more peace of mind.

•

Quality personalized care for their pets.   Pet Parents want to confirm that their pets’ care is personalized to their needs and expectations. They also want to know that there are resources in place to handle problems that arise while they are away from their pets.

•

The availability of personalized on-demand pet services.   Pet Parents want the ability to care and provide for their pets whenever a need arises.

•

Technology-enabled ease of access and management to pet services.   Pet Parents expect to be able to use their mobile devices or computers to find available providers who will meet their pet’s needs. They want to effortlessly contact and communicate, book and pay for a service, and stay connected so they can feel confident their pet is safe and happy in their absence.

•

Pet care that suits their budget and their lifestyle.   While many Pet Parents may find commercial solutions too expensive, they also live full lives and are willing to pay the right price for the right care. For other parents whose pets often have specific needs or requirements, cost is not a barrier in exchange for safe, trusted, loving care.

Our Market Opportunity

The total U.S. market for pet spending was $103.6 billion in 2020, including pet food and treats, veterinary care and product sales, pet supplies, and other non-medical services, according to the APPA. This is an increase of over 6% from the previous year, driven largely by the COVID-19 pandemic spike in pet population. In 2021, the APPA presented that $123.6 billion was spent on our pets.

We believe that the commercial market for pet care represents an enormous expansion opportunity. We believe the existing commercial market for pet care is limited because of the challenges of traditional pet care service offerings. Ninety percent of new Pet Parents to Wag! never used a dog walker before joining the platform, instead relying on family and friends for pet care services. With the APPA showing the total addressable market to be $34 billion for pet wellness, such as pet insurance and wellness plans, and $10 billion for pet services, we believe that this represents an expansion opportunity for all pet services.

257

Wag! Wellness

By offering Pet Parents the opportunity to consult a licensed pet expert 24/7, pet wellness plans, and the ability to compare pet insurance plans, Wag! has proven its ability to diversify the total addressable market and unlock new spending in pet wellness. Wag! Wellness has also experienced significant increases in revenue from March 2021 to March 2022, increasing by a multiple of 17 during that time.

2021 pro forma information for acquisition of CPI, which closed in the third quarter of 2021.

Pet Services

In 2021, there were over 90 million pets in U.S. households, according to the APPA. In April 2020, the national pet adoption rate jumped 34% as compared to the same period a year earlier, according to Shelter

258

Animals Count. In addition, the ASPCA estimated in May 2021 that 23 million households adopted a pet during the pandemic. With this increase in pet ownership and more people returning to the office in upcoming months, we believe there are increased opportunities to help busy Pet Parents find pet care services.

Repeated Bookings by Wag!’s Pet Parents

For many Pet Parents, leaving their pet alone creates stress and the existing solutions are limited. Wag! was created because lonely pets deserve healthier and happier lives. As Pet Parents are browsing, booking, and managing care on our platform, our goal is to delight them by anticipating and addressing their specific, unique needs. We aim to establish Wag! as a simple, reliable, on-demand option for Pet Parents.

Our platform allows Pet Parents to choose available on-demand services or the ability to pre-schedule a date and time for services that best suits their needs, and the option to schedule repeat services on a day and time that works for the foreseeable future. To facilitate trust and confidence in services, Pet Parents can start chatting with Pet Caregivers before booking a request and have the ability to browse through trusted caregivers before submitting a service request. Depending on the service, Pet Parents may also receive real-time pictures or videos of their pet enjoying time with their local Pet Caregiver. Scheduling a pet service on Wag! is as easy as a few keystrokes or taps on a phone, and the overall experience of booking and paying a Pet Caregiver is simple and intuitive for Pet Parents.

Finally, Pet Parents see that trust and safety are at the heart of what we do. We set clear Community Guidelines and provide features and expectations that facilitate safe, informed, and positive experiences for the people and pets in our community. If something goes wrong during a booking, we have around the clock customer support for Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers.

Foundation of Caregiving

Our success is built on the foundation of dedicated Pet Caregivers who have chosen to provide their services through us. Wag! provides Pet Caregivers with flexibility and empowerment, enabling their passion for pets to become a way to make money, exercise, and participate in their local community. Through our platform, Pet Caregivers can connect with a nationwide community of pets. Some Pet Caregivers view the provision of pet care services as their full-time job. We support them by providing an additional avenue to build their pet care business and achieve meaningful income. Other Pet Caregivers simply love and enjoy caring for pets in addition to other avenues of employment. We support these more casual Pet Caregivers by providing them access to Pet Parents looking for pet care services, a means to earn some additional supplemental income, an enjoyable gig involving time outdoors and healthy habits, and flexibility in when and how they perform services. We give both full-time and casual Pet Caregivers the ability to share their love of pets with the Wag! pet community.

Similar to Pet Parents, when prospective Pet Caregivers encounter Wag! for the first time, we aim to anticipate and address many of their needs in advance. We added features to allow caregivers the opportunity to fulfill high priority requests for an additional payout at no extra cost to the Pet Parent, the freedom to set their own prices, the option to withdraw earnings instantly for a small fee, ability to expand their reach to new Pet Parents and grow their business with social links to their profile and custom HTML Craigslist links, and the opportunity to access advice from seasoned veterans on the mobile app and tips to help them grow a successful pet care business. Our success with Pet Caregivers is reflected in their loyalty — as of the third quarter of 2021, Pet Caregivers on Wag! had a Net Promoter Score between 45 to 55.

Pet Caregivers who establish a presence on Wag! discover that the process to be approved as a caregiver is straightforward and simple, which helps them build trust and transparency with Pet Parents. Specifically, applicants are screened and required to pass a background check and a pet care test before they can be approved to offer services on the Wag! platform. All new Pet Caregivers also have the opportunity to complete a “test walk,” which is a simulated service that allows the Pet Caregiver to become familiar with the Wag! platform. We also provide built-in community safety features, such as the ability for a Pet Caregiver to flag chat conversations with a Pet Parent, block a Pet Parent’s service requests, and leave a review of a pet for other caregivers to consider. These measures reassure Pet Caregivers that they are joining a platform that cares about trust and reliability.

259

Wag! provides flexible, straightforward booking management tools. Our platform offers tools that allow Pet Caregivers to manage bookings and safely communicate to share photos, videos, and GPS mapping. Pet Caregivers receive safe, secure, and convenient online payments, set their availability with our calendar feature, and only book care that’s a fit for their preferences and schedule. Our around the clock dedicated support team provides peace of mind for Pet Caregivers.

Competitive Strengths

As we grow our online pet wellness platform, our competitive strengths relative to other online competitors include:

•

Proprietary and innovative technology platform — Our technology platform was built to enable us to connect Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers. We own and operate all meaningful technology utilized in our business.

•

Large number of high-quality Pet Caregivers.   Pet Caregivers are attracted to the Wag! platform. With the ability to make money on their own time, Pet Caregivers enjoy the flexibility of choosing how and when they want to work — claiming a last minute appointment or planning out an appointment weeks in advance. This is why over 400,000 Pet Caregivers are approved to provide services on Wag!.

•

High-quality pet service.   With over 11 million reviews, more than 96% of which have earned five stars, we lead the industry in quality. This is also represented by our Net Promoter Score, provided by an external experience management platform, which averages between 45 to 55 for Pet Caregivers and 65 to 70 for Pet Parents as of the third quarter of 2021.

•

Service offerings.   Our platform offers access to pet services to Pet Parents, more than many of our competitors offer. On our platform, we also offer access to differentiated services as compared to our competitors, such as both in-person and digital dog training, on-demand services, and our subscription service, Wag! Premium. We carefully examine demand in the market before we choose to roll out a new pet service option and continually evaluate its success with Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers.

•

Strong Pet Parent loyalty and word-of-mouth.   Since its inception in 2015, more than 12.1 million services have been delivered to pets and Pet Parents through the Wag! platform. Our continuous excellence in facilitating connections between pet, parent, and Pet Caregiver translates directly into advantages in our ability to retain Pet Parents. Based on an internal survey in 2018-2019, 90% of Pet Parents never used a walker before signing up with Wag!.

•

Premier online destination for pet services.   According to recent industry surveys conducted by Similarweb.com, Wag! was the number one online Pets and Animals destination worldwide in the fourth quarter of 2021 with more than 4,200,000 monthly visitors.

Our Growth Strategies

As a leading provider of a pet services marketplace, it is our mission to continue to find ways to help Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers. Simply put, we want to continue to help Pet Parents provide for their pet

260

more efficiently and effectively, while making better and more informed decisions as quickly as they desire. For Pet Caregivers, we want to continue to provide them with an opportunity to earn income on their own schedule. Within our marketplace and platform, we leverage proprietary technology and data to empower both Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers to reach these goals.

We are working to build the preeminent and most trusted pet wellness platform. To achieve this goal, we intend to continue to grow our business by pursuing the following strategies:

•

Accelerate growth in existing markets.   We believe that immense growth remains within our existing offerings and geographies. With over 95% of the U.S. population having access to Wag!, as of March 2022, over 5.7 million Pet Parents have signed up for a Wag! account. One of the main drivers of our brand is word-of-mouth growth in local markets. With over 400,000 Pet Caregivers in 5,300 U.S. cities across all 50 states, we want to continue to increase bookings and services.

•

Expand subscription offerings.   Wag! Premium is an annual or monthly subscription that offers 10% off all services booked as well as waived booking fees, free advice from licensed pet experts, priority access to top-rated Pet Caregivers, and VIP Pet Parent support. We plan to introduce additional service offerings in the Wag! marketplace to further support pets, parents, and Pet Caregivers and to drive significant revenue growth.

•

Platform expansion.   We aim to service Pet Parents with the #1 on-demand mobile first platform, including through introducing additional services unique to the Wag! platform. For example, in the second quarter of 2020, we launched in-person and digital one-on-one dog training, and in February 2021, we expanded our platform to include cats and other pets.

•

International expansion.   We aim to serve Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers around the world. Currently, Wag! operates in 5,300 U.S. cities across all 50 states, and we intend to expand into international markets in 2022.

•

Opportunistic mergers and acquisitions.   We believe that, over time, we can extend the value of Wag! with strategic acquisitions in the pet industry and others, including pet products, vet care, and technology to improve the efficiency and efficacy of the Wag! platform.

Our Business Model

We have differentiated ourselves from other marketplaces by offering access to a variety of service options. We generate revenue from four distinct streams: (1) service fees charged to Pet Caregivers for use of the platform to discover pet service opportunities and to successfully complete a pet care service to a Pet Parent, (2) subscription and other fees paid by Pet Parents for Wag! Premium, (3) joining fees paid by Pet Caregivers to join and be listed on the platform, and (4) wellness revenue through affiliate fees paid by third-party service partners based on ‘revenue-per-action’ or conversion activity.

Our Services

To book a service, Pet Parents schedule an appointment through our platform, choosing specific parameters, such as length of walk or specific pet needs depending on the service, and then receive real-time updates, photos or videos, and a complete report card. Following the service, Pet Parents can review the Pet Caregivers and service.

Through our platform, we offer access to multiple service options, including pre-scheduled and on-demand dog walking, drop-in visits at the Pet Parent’s home, pet boarding at a caregiver’s home, in-home pet sitting, and in-home one-on-one dog training and digital dog training. In the second quarter of 2020, we launched a service that enables Pet Parents to connect with a licensed pet expert around the clock through our platform for real-time advice on their pets’ behavior, health, and other needs. Through our platform, we also offer pet wellness plans and access to an insurance comparison tool, which enables Pet Parents to compare insurance quotes from top-rated insurance companies, including Lemonade, Pets Best, Embrace, Trupanion, PetPlan, and Prudent Pet. We introduced Wag! Premium in the first quarter of 2020. Wag! Premium is an annual or monthly subscription that offers 10% off all services booked as well as other features,

261

like waived booking fees, free advice from licensed pet experts, priority access to top-rated Pet Caregivers, and VIP Pet Parent support.

Foundation of Trust and Safety

Safety on every booking is important to us, and we are committed to reducing the number of incidents in the Wag! community. Because every furry family member deserves our best, we are dedicated to continually improving. Moreover, although infrequent, if things go wrong, we are committed to continually improving our effectiveness in responding. To bring peace of mind for Pet Parents, all Pet Caregivers are screened, background checked, and approved prior to being approved to provide services on the Wag! platform. We also have a dedicated 24/7 support team to assist pets and their parents around the clock, and convenient tools for Pet Parents to get real-time information about their pets during a service. In the event that there is damage to a Pet Parent’s property, they may be protected with up to $1 million property damage protection, subject to applicable policy limitations and exclusions. We move quickly to correct behaviors that are not consistent with our Community Guidelines. We do not hesitate to remove both Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers from our platform when they behave in ways that violate our Community Guidelines.

Employees

As of March 2022, we had 71 full-time employees in the United States. Our employees are allocated across our groups as follows: 20 in corporate, 22 in customer experience, 23 in product and engineering, and 6 in marketing. We also engage contractors and consultants. None of our employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement or represented by a labor union and we have not experienced any work stoppages as a result of any labor or employment disputes. We consider our relationships with our employees to be in good health.

All Pet Caregivers using the Wag! platform are independent contractors. All caregivers must agree to our Terms of Service as well as enter into an Independent Contractor Agreement to use the platform.

262

Technology and Infrastructure

Our technology platform is designed to provide an efficient marketplace experience across our website and mobile apps. Our technology vision is to build and deliver secure, flexible, scalable systems, tools, and products that exceed expectations for Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers alike, as well as accelerate growth and improve productivity.

Our booking platform connects to the front-end customer web and mobile clients, as well as to our support operations team. This platform also connects to our data science platform. We collect and secure information generated from user activity and use machine learning to continuously improve our booking systems. We have a common platform that allows us to seamlessly internationalize our product, integrate images and videos, use experiments to optimize user experience and test product improvements in real time, monitor our site reliability, and rapidly respond to incidents. Finally, our core booking platform connects to leading third-party vendors for communications, payment processing, IT operations management, as well as background checks.

We focus on user experience, quality, consistency, reliability, and efficiency when developing our software. We are also investing in continuously improving our data privacy, data protection, and security foundations, and we continually review and update our related policies and practices.

Intellectual Property

We rely on a combination of state, federal, and common-law rights and trade secret, trademark, and copyright laws in the United States and other jurisdictions together with confidentiality agreements, contractual restrictions, and technical measures to protect the confidentiality of our proprietary rights. To protect our trade secrets, we control access to our proprietary systems and technology and enter into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with our employees and consultants and confidentiality agreements with other third-parties in order to limit access to, and disclosure and use of, our confidential and proprietary technology and to preserve our rights thereto. We also have registered and unregistered trademarks for the names of many of our products and services, and we are the registrant of the domain registrations for all of our material websites.

As of March 2022, we hold 5 registered trademarks in the United States. In addition, we have registered domain names for websites that we use in our business, such as www.wagwalking.com and other variations. We intend to pursue additional intellectual property protection to the extent we believe it would be beneficial and cost-effective. We also utilize third-party content, software, technology and intellectual property in connection with our business.

We are presently involved in intellectual property lawsuits and expect to continue to face allegations from third parties, including our competitors, that we have infringed or otherwise violated their intellectual property rights. Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights, they may not be respected in the future or may be invalidated, circumvented, or challenged.

For additional information on risks relating to intellectual property, see the sections titled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Wag!’s Intellectual Property”; “Risk Factors — Risk Related to Regulation and Taxation”; and “Information About Wag! — Legal Proceedings — IP and Trademark”.

Support Operations

Our support team assists Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers with bookings, safety issues, and questions concerning any pet service. Because we are committed to the safety and happiness of all dogs in our care, and peace of mind for Pet Parents, we offer 24/7 assistance to our entire community.

Marketing

Our marketing strategy is focused on attracting Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers to our marketplace. We depend on paid marketing, organic marketing and brand marketing strategies, along with creating virality and word-of-mouth acquisition through our product experience. Through our blog, The Daily Wag!, existing Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers, and media, we attract new users to our marketplace. Wag! is top-ranking

263

in the Travel and Local (Google Play) and Travel (iOS) categories for key search terms through App Store optimization and strong consumer rankings and reviews. In addition, our website sees more than six million visitors per month from direct or unpaid traffic sources in the first quarter of 2022, the majority of which come from our search engine optimization efforts. From the third quarter of 2019 to the fourth quarter of 2021, we saw 70% Organic Customer Acquisition.

While we rely significantly on word-of-mouth, organic search, and other unpaid channels, we believe that a significant amount of the growth in the number of Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers that use the platform is also attributable to our paid marketing initiatives. Our marketing efforts include referrals, affiliate programs, free or discount trials, partnerships, display advertising, billboards, radio, video, television, direct mail, social media, email, podcasts, hiring and classified advertisement websites, mobile “push” communications, search engine optimization, and paid keyword search campaigns.

Facilities

Our corporate headquarters is located in San Francisco, California, pursuant to an operating lease that expires in 2023. We lease additional office space in Phoenix, Arizona and Mountain View, California. We believe that these facilities are generally suitable to meet our needs. From time to time, we have subleased portions of the spaces that we are not currently using.

Competitors

The markets in which we operate are highly fragmented. We face multiple competitors across different categories, and our competitors vary in both size and breadth of services. We expect competition to continue, both from current competitors, who may be well-established and enjoy greater resources or other strategic advantages, as well as new entrants into the market, some of which may become significant competitors in the future. Our main competitors include:

•

Family, friends, and neighbors.   Our largest competitive dynamic remains the people to whom Pet Parents go for pet care within their personal networks. This typically includes neighbors, family, and friends with whom the Pet Parent and pet are familiar and comfortable.

•

Local independent professionals.   Local small businesses and independent professionals often operate at small scale with little to no online presence, primarily relying on word of mouth and marketing solutions such as flyers and local ads. As a Pet Parent, it is difficult to know where to find reliable information, who to call, and who to trust.

•

Large, commercial providers.   Large commercial providers, such as kennels and daycares, often struggle to meet the individual needs of Pet Parents and their pets. Such providers can be expensive, and their facilities are often crowded, inducing stress in some pets and leading Pet Parents to question the quality of care their pets receive.

•

Online aggregators and directories.   Pet Parents can also access general purpose online aggregators and directories, such as Craigslist, Nextdoor, or Yelp, to find pet care providers. However, Pet Parents may lack trust in these directories, or find it difficult to find an available and appropriate pet care provider.

•

Other digital marketplaces.   We compete with companies such as Rover and the pet care offering on Care.com. We differentiate ourselves with the breadth of our pet service options and simplicity in booking. For example, Wag! is the only marketplace to offer on-demand booking for dog walking and drop-in visits at the Pet Parent’s home, enabling Pet Parents to find a local Pet Caregiver in less than 15 minutes. In addition, our monthly subscription, Wag! Premium, enables Pet Parents to a suite of platform features including discounts on additional services, such as boarding, sitting, and training. Finally, through our Wag! Wellness suite of services, Pet Parents can chat with a licensed pet expert 24/7.

Data Privacy, Data Protection and Security

Our privacy and information security program is reasonably designed and implemented, both within our internal systems and on our platform, in an effort to address the security and compliance requirements of personal or otherwise regulated data related to Pet Parents, Pet Caregivers, and our employees.

264

We have a team of professionals that focuses on technical measures such as application, network, and system security, as well as policy measures related to privacy compliance, internal training and education, business continuity, and documented incident response protocols. Our information security protocols include periodic scans designed to identify security vulnerabilities on our servers, workstations, network equipment, production equipment, and applications, and we address remediation of any discovered vulnerabilities according to severity

We use various technical safeguards throughout our network, including but not limited to multi-factor authentication, permissioning software, audit logs, and other security controls to control access to internal systems that contain personal or other confidential information.

We design and implement our platform, offerings, and policies to facilitate compliance with evolving privacy, data protection, and data security laws and regulations, as well as to demonstrate respect for the privacy and data protection rights of our users and employees. We publish our user-related privacy practices on our website, and we further maintain certain additional internal policies and practices relating to the collection, use, storage, and disclosure of personal information.

Publication of our Privacy Statement and other policies and notices regarding privacy, data protection, and data security may subject us to investigation or enforcement actions by state and federal regulators if those statements, notices, or policies are found to be deficient, lacking transparency, deceptive, unfair, or misrepresentative of our practices. We also may be bound from time to time by contractual obligations related to privacy, data protection, or data security. The laws and regulations to which we are subject relating to privacy, data protection, and data security, as well as their interpretation and enforcement, are evolving and we expect them to continue to change over time. For example, the CCPA, which went into effect on January 1, 2020, among other things, requires covered companies to provide specified disclosures to California consumers about such companies’ data collection, use and sharing practices, gives California residents expanded rights to access and delete their personal information, and affords such consumers abilities to opt out of certain sales of personal information. Additionally, in November 2020, California voters passed the CPRA which further expands the CCPA with additional data privacy compliance requirements that may impact our business, and establishes a regulatory agency dedicated to enforcing those requirements. Guidance related to the CCPA and CPRA continues to evolve and these acts have, in the case of Virginia and Colorado, and will likely lead other states to pass comparable legislation. Other privacy and data security laws and regulations to which we may be subject include, for example, the California Online Privacy Protection Act, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, and Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act. More generally, the various legal obligations that apply to us relating to privacy and data security may evolve in a manner that relates to our practices or the features of our mobile applications or website. We may need to take additional measures to comply with new and evolving legal obligations and to maintain and improve our information security posture in an effort to reduce information security incidents or avoid breaches affecting personal information or other sensitive or proprietary data. For additional information, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Privacy and Technology — Changes in laws, regulations, or industry standards relating to privacy, data protection, or the protection or transfer of data relating to individuals, or any actual or perceived failure by Wag! to comply with such laws and regulations or any other obligations, including contractual obligations, relating to privacy, data protection, or the protection or transfer of data relating to individuals, could adversely affect Wag!’s business.”

Government Regulation

We are subject to a wide variety of laws, regulations, and standards in the United States and other jurisdictions. These laws, regulations, and standards govern issues such as worker classification, labor and employment, anti-discrimination, payments, pricing, whistleblowing and worker confidentiality obligations, animal and human health and safety, text messaging, subscription services, intellectual property, insurance producer licensing and market conduct, consumer protection and warnings, marketing, product liability, environmental protection, taxation, privacy, data protection, data security, competition, unionizing and collective action, arbitration agreements and class action waiver provisions, terms of service, e-commerce, mobile application and website accessibility, money transmittal, and background checks. These laws, regulations, and standards are often complex and subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to

265

their lack of specificity or unclear applicability, and as a result, their application in practice may change or develop over time through judicial decisions or as new guidance or interpretations are provided by regulatory and governing bodies, such as federal, state, and local administrative agencies. Noncompliance with state insurance statutes or regulations may subject Wag! to regulatory action by the relevant state insurance regulator, and, in certain states, private litigation.

National, state, and local governmental authorities have enacted or pursued, and may in the future enact and pursue, measures designed to regulate the “gig economy.” For example, in 2019, the California Assembly passed AB-5, which codified a narrow worker classification test that has had the effect of treating many “gig economy” workers as employees. AB-5 includes a referral agency exemption that specifically applies to animal services and dog walking and grooming, and we believe that Wag! falls within this exemption.

In addition, other jurisdictions could adopt similar laws that do not include such carve outs and which, if applied to Wag!’s platform, could adversely impact its availability and our business.

Other types of new laws and regulations, and changes to existing laws and regulations, continue to be adopted, implemented, and interpreted in response to our business and related technologies. For instance, state and local governments have in the past pursued, or may in the future pursue or enact, licensing, zoning, or other regulation that impacts the ability of individuals to provide home-based pet care.

One of our subsidiaries operates pet insurance comparison engine webpages. This subsidiary is not an underwriter of insurance risk nor does it act in the capacity of an insurance company. Rather, it is licensed and regulated as an insurance producer. On its website, the subsidiary may refer its customers to options for pet insurance plans provided and sold through unaffiliated third parties, including through unaffiliated insurance carriers. The subsidiary’s insurance comparison search feature provides hyperlinks by which consumers are connected with a pet insurance provider’s website to purchase an insurance plan. Each state has its own insurance statutes and regulations and applicable regulatory agency. Generally, each state requires insurers and insurance producers to be licensed in that state. Our subsidiary maintains insurance producer licenses in each state in which it operates. The subsidiary’s website declares that it is neither an underwriter nor an insurer, specifically to highlight that it is not in the business of underwriting insurance plans. All insurance plans referred to by the subsidiary through its insurance comparison search feature are provided by third-party insurance companies. The subsidiary accepts neither premium payments from consumers nor responsibility for paying any amounts on claims.

For more information, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Regulation and Taxation — Wag!’s business is subject to a variety of U.S. laws and regulations, many of which are unsettled and still developing and failure to comply with such laws and regulations could subject Wag! to claims or otherwise adversely affect Wag!’s business, financial condition, or operating results; Government regulation of the Internet, mobile devices and e-commerce is evolving and unfavorable changes could substantially adversely affect Wag!’s business, financial condition, and operating results”; and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Privacy and Technology —​Changes in laws, regulations, or industry standards relating to privacy, data protection, or the protection or transfer of data relating to individuals, or any actual or perceived failure by Wag! to comply with such laws and regulations or any other obligations, including contractual obligations, relating to privacy, data protection, or the protection or transfer of data relating to individuals, could adversely affect Wag!’s business.”

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may be subject to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business, including claims relating to personal injury and indemnification, property damage, intellectual property, labor and employment (particularly in jurisdictions where the laws with respect to the liability of online marketplaces or the employment classification of service providers who use online marketplaces are uncertain, unfavorable or unclear), threatened litigation, breach of contract, liability of online marketplaces, and other matters. In addition, from time to time, we receive communications from government or regulatory agencies concerning investigations or allegations of noncompliance with laws or regulations in jurisdictions in which we operate. At this time, and except as is noted below, we are unable to predict the outcome of, and cannot reasonably estimate the impact of, any pending litigation matters, matters concerning allegations of non-compliance with laws or regulations and matters concerning other allegations of other improprieties, or the incidence of any such matters in the future. While litigation is inherently unpredictable, we believe

266

we have valid defenses with respect to the legal matters pending against us. For additional information on risks relating to litigation, please see the section titled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Company — Wag! is subject to claims and lawsuits relating to intellectual property and other related matters, which could materially adversely affect Wag!’s reputation, business and financial condition; Wag! is subject to claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings seeking to hold Wag! vicariously liable for the actions of pets, Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers; Wag! is subject to regulatory inquiries, claims, lawsuits, government investigations, various proceedings and other disputes and may face potential liability and expenses for legal claims, which could materially adversely affect Wag!’s business, operating results and financial condition; Wag!’s business is subject to a variety of U.S. laws and regulations, many of which are unsettled and still developing and failure to comply with such laws and regulations could subject Wag! to claims or otherwise adversely affect Wag!’s business, financial condition, or operating results; If Pet Caregivers are reclassified as employees under applicable law, Wag!’s business would be materially adversely affected,” and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Wag!’s Intellectual Property — Intellectual property infringement assertions by third parties could result in significant costs and adversely affect Wag!’s business, financial condition, operating results, and reputation.”

Given the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the ultimate outcome of ongoing matters cannot be predicted with certainty. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, but we believe we have valid defenses with respect to the legal matters pending against us. Nevertheless, the financial statements could be materially adversely affected in a particular period by the resolution of one or more of these contingencies. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of judgment, defense, and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors. Liabilities established to provide for contingencies are adjusted as further information develops, circumstances changes, or contingencies are resolved; such changes are recorded in the accompanying statements of operations during the period of the change and reflected in accrued and other current liabilities on the accompanying balance sheets.

IP and Trademark

In June 2015, a lawsuit against Wag! was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California by Wag! Hotels, Inc. alleging trademark infringement. In exchange for dismissing all claims, we agreed to use certain branding going forward, and we reached a settlement agreement in June 2016. In December 2019, Wag! Hotels filed suit again claiming that the branding the Company is currently using (“Wag!”) violates the 2016 settlement agreement and infringes their trademark. In October 2021, we filed a Second Amended Answer and Counterclaim, and in November 2021, Wag! Hotels moved to dismiss. Trial for this case is set for January 2023 and we intend to defend ourselves vigorously against all claims.

Taxes

Wag! is subject to audits by taxing authorities and other forms of investigation, audit, or inquiry conducted by federal, state, or local governmental agencies, none of which have resulted in a material assessment.

On May 13, 2022, we settled a claim with a Texas state tax authority related to the collection of sales and use taxes in Texas. We were required to pay $1.2 million to the state of Texas, the amount of the claim, as a prerequisite to the court challenge, but under the settlement agreement will receive those funds back.

In November 2020, the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance initiated a routine sales and use tax audit of Wag!. We are engaged in ongoing discussions with the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance, including providing additional data that has been requested, in order to determine what, if any, Company revenues are taxable. The Department’s assessment is pending.

Employment and Labor

In November 2019, the state of California Employment Development Department (“CA EDD”) issued an assessment alleging various issues regarding Wag!’s unemployment insurance contributions. CA EDD alleges Wag! owes approximately $1.7 million in unemployment insurance contributions for our independent contractors. A hearing is scheduled for March 23, 2022. We intend to defend ourselves vigorously in this pending matter.

In August, 2018, the New York State Department of Labor (“DOL”) issued an Investigation Report assessing Wag! with approximately $250,000 in unemployment insurance contributions for our independent contractors. In May 2021, the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board affirmed its decision sustaining the Department’s assessment. Interest continues to accrue on this assessment.

CHW’S MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes of CHW included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations, estimates and assumptions concerning events and financial trends that may affect our future operating results or financial position. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference in this section of this proxy statement/prospectus to “we,” “us” or “our” refers to CHW.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated on January 12, 2021 as a Cayman Islands corporation and 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. While we may pursue an acquisition opportunity in any business, industry, sector, or geographical location, we intend to focus on industries that complement our management’s background and to capitalize on the ability of our management team to identify and acquire a business. We may pursue a transaction in which our shareholders immediately, prior to completion of our initial Business Combination, would collectively own a minority interest in the post-Business Combination company. We intend to effectuate our initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of this offering and the sale of the private placement warrants, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, equity 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.

Results of Operations

Our entire activity through March 31, 2022 was in preparation for an initial public offering, and since our initial public offering, our activity has been limited to the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial Business Combination at the earliest. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had a net loss of $2,171,947 which consisted of operating expenses of $2,182,149 and interest income was $10,202.

For the period January 12, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2021, we had a net loss of $11,634, which consisted of operating expenses of $11,634.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Until the consummation of our Initial Public Offering, our only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of Founder Shares by our Sponsor and loans from our Sponsor.

On September 1, 2021, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 12,500,000 Units, which includes 1,500,000 Units from the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $125,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option, we consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 4,238,636 Private Placement Warrants to our Sponsor at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $4,238,636. Following our Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $125,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $13,130,743 of transaction costs consisting of $2,187,500 of underwriting fees, $4,375,000 of deferred underwriting fees payable, $5,975,625 for the fair value of shares issued to the anchor investors and representative shares, and $592,618 of other costs in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants.

269

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $352,419. Net loss of $2,171,947 was impacted by an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $26,265, accrued and other expenses of $2,334,300 and decrease in accounts payable of $530,835.

For the period January 12, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was 11,634. Net loss of $11,634 was impacted by an increase in general and administrative expenses.

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less taxes payable and deferred underwriting commissions), to complete our initial Business Combination. We may withdraw interest income (if any) to pay taxes, if any. Our annual tax obligations will depend on the amount of interest and other income earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account. We expect the interest income earned on the amount in the Trust Account (if any) will be sufficient to pay our taxes. To the extent that our equity or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial 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 March 31, 2022, we had cash of $335,162 held outside of the Trust Account. 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, properties 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.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $335,162 in its operating bank accounts, $125,013,199 in securities held in the Trust Account to be used for a Business Combination or to repurchase or redeem its Ordinary Shares in connection therewith and working capital deficit of $1,650,918. As of March 31, 2022, approximately $10,202 of the amount deposit in the Trust Account represented interest income.

Until the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination. 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 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 for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance date of the financial statements. 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.

If our estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial Business Combination. In this instance, the Company will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, shareholders, officers, directors, or third parties. If we complete our initial Business Combination, we may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. In the event that our initial Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside

270

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 of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. The terms of such loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. Prior to the completion of our initial Business Combination, we do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our Sponsor, its affiliates or our management team as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our Trust Account.

Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing to complete our initial Business Combination, either because the transaction requires more cash than is available from the proceeds held in our Trust Account, or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of the Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. If we have not consummated our initial Business Combination within the required time period because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account.

Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On January 18, 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000 for 2,875,000 Ordinary Shares (the “Founder Shares”). On August 30, 2021, the Company effectuated a 1.1-for-1 share split, resulting in an aggregate of 3,162,500 Founder Shares outstanding. The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 412,500 shares that were subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised, so that the number of Founder Shares will equal, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of ordinary shares after the Initial Public Offering. On September 1, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option and 37,500 Founder Shares were forfeited for no consideration by the Sponsor.

The Sponsor has agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earliest of: (A) six months after the completion of a Business Combination and (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the closing price of the shares of Ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.50/share (as adjusted) 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 shares of Ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.

Private Placement

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option, the Sponsor purchased 4,238,686 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $4,238,686. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share Ordinary shares at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. A portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement Warrants were 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 and all underlying securities will expire worthless.

Due from related party

As of March 31, 2022, the Sponsor held $68,591 from the closing of the IPO that will be deposited as soon as practical from the Company’s operating account.

Related Party Loans

On January 18, 2021, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. As of March 31, 2022, there was no outstanding under the Promissory Note.

271

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we 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. Up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Business Combination Agreement does not permit Working Capital Loans to convert into warrants. Except as set forth above, to date, the terms of the Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of March 31, 2022, there were no Working Capital Loans outstanding.

Administrative Services Fee

We agreed, commencing on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering through the earlier of our consummation of a Business Combination or our liquidation, to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, secretarial and administrative services. As of March 31, 2022, we incurred and paid $30,000 in fees for these services.

Registration Rights

The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans, if any, are entitled to registration rights (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion of such shares to shares of Ordinary shares) pursuant to a registration rights agreement dated September 1, 2021. These holders are entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until the termination of the applicable lock-up period for the securities to be registered. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Deferred Underwriting Fees

The underwriter was paid a cash underwriting discount of 1.75% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or $2,187,500. The underwriter is entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per unit, or $4,375,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2022. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with 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.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of unaudited condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 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:

272

Warrant Instruments

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the instruments’ specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the instruments are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the instruments meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the instruments are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the instrument holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the instruments are outstanding. The Company concluded that the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants issued pursuant to the warrant agreement qualify for equity accounting treatment.

Ordinary shares Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our 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 is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that features redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is 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 is presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of our unaudited condensed balance sheets.

Net Loss Per Share of Ordinary shares

We apply the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Net income per share of the redeemable shares, basic and diluted is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account by the weighted average number of shares of redeemable ordinary shares outstanding since original issuance. Net loss per share of ordinary shares, basic and diluted, for non-redeemable ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the net loss, less income attributable to shares of redeemable ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of shares of non-redeemable ordinary shares outstanding for the periods presented.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Recent Accounting Standards

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

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 an affiliate of the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities and secretarial, and administrative support services provided to the Company. We began incurring these fees on June 15, 2021 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of a Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation.

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $4,375,000 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 we complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement entered into on September 1, 2021, the holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that may be issued upon

273

conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we 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. However, the registration and shareholder rights agreement provides that we will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lockup period. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

JOBS Act

On April 5, 2012, the JOBS Act was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We will qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act will be allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As such, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of executive compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our Initial Public Offering or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

WAG!’S MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference in this section of this proxy statement/prospectus to Wag Labs, Inc., the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or “Wag!” refers to Wag Labs, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, and other financial information included elsewhere within this proxy statement/prospectus. This discussion includes forward-looking information regarding our business, results of operations and cash flows, and contractual obligations and arrangements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from any future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, those discussed in the sections of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information” and “Risk Factors”.

OVERVIEW

Our mission is to be the #1 partner to busy Pet Parents.   We believe that being busy shouldn’t stop Pet Parents from owning or taking care of their pets. We are dedicated to building a future in which every pet has access to safe, high-quality care. Wag! exists to make pet ownership possible and to bring joy to pets and those who love them.

Wag! was founded in 2015 to solve the guilt and stress of owning a pet. There are over 90.5 million US households with a pet, and for many Pet Parents, leaving their pet alone creates stress and guilt, as the existing solutions are limited. We launched the Wag! platform to solve these problems because lonely pets deserve healthier and happier lives. Wag! enabled on-demand pet services, allowing us to provide a mobile first experience for 98% of Pet Parents on the app. With numerous on-demand or scheduled service options provided by Pet Caregivers to Pet Parents through the platform, we have created a trusted pet service platform for Pet Parents. This has led to 75% of Pet Parents not being physically at home while services are being delivered and high-frequency service utilization where Pet Parents use Wag! an average of four to five times a month. We have built a compelling and trusted consumer brand with a high level of customer engagement, effectively creating a solid platform to leverage as we rapidly expand our business to new product lines.

Our proprietary marketplace technology, which is available as a mobile app and website (“platform” or “marketplace”), enables independent Pet Caregivers to connect with Pet Parents. Through our cutting-edge technologies and multi-faceted platforms, Wag! connects Pet Parents with Pet Caregivers who provide excellent pet care services. Our marketplace enables Pet Parents to find a wide array of pet services provided by Pet Caregivers and third-party service partners, such as walking, pet sitting and boarding, advice from licensed pet experts, home visits, training services, and pet insurance comparison tools.

We are one of the largest, online marketplaces for pet care. Through March 2022, we have approved over 400,000 Pet Caregivers and there have been over 12.1 million services completed through the Wag! platform. With our leading scale, we can offer Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers the benefits of convenience, availability, and trust. Since the beginning of 2021, monthly revenue has generally been steadily increasing, leading to our highest monthly revenues in March 2022 since the Company was founded. From 2020 to the first quarter of 2022 Cohorts, Pet Parent activity for Pet Parents who joined the platform through March 2022 are significantly outperforming the 2017, 2018, and 2019 Cohorts on a year-to-date basis. We are still in the early stages of growth, but have made significant progress in extending the offerings and reach of our platform since our inception in 2015.

Principal Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations and Material Trends

Our results are impacted by the general economic environment, conditions and trends relating to pet ownership and demand for services, competition with other pet service providers, and other factors including promotions, seasonality, and the effectiveness of our marketing and advertising campaigns. The primary factors that impact our results and present significant opportunities, as well as pose risks and challenges, are described below. We believe that our performance and future success depend on the factors discussed below, those mentioned in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this document.

275

Investment in New Services

Founded in 2015, we were one of the first on-demand pet services platforms. Since then, we have remained committed to expanding our offerings and the reach of our platform. For example, in the past 24 months, we have launched new features in an effort to increase engagement by both Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers on our platform. For Pet Parents, we added direct booking, the ability to create preferred Pet Caregiver lists, in-home or in-app video dog training options, pet service requests for cats and other pets, insurance comparison from top pet insurance providers, browse and chat with Pet Caregivers before booking a request, browse through trusted caregivers, and the ability to pre-tip caregivers before the service. For Pet Caregivers, we added features to provide them with the opportunity to fulfill highest priority requests, the ability to set their own prices, the ability to expand their reach to new customers and grow their business with social media links to their profile and custom HTML Craigslist links, as well as the opportunity to access advice from seasoned veterans on the platform and tips to help them grow a successful pet care business. Since our inception in 2015, more than 12.1 million pet services have been completed through the Wag! platform to date.

In the first quarter of 2020, we also launched our Wag! Premium subscription service, a monthly or annual subscription that offers Pet Parents 10% off all services, including waived booking fees, free advice from pet experts, priority access to top-rated Pet Caregivers, and VIP pet support. Wag! Premium accounts for 48% of our monthly active users.

Investment in Innovation and Technology

The continued development of our platform capabilities and digital ecosystem requires substantial ongoing investment in resources and technology infrastructure, which can impact EBITDA. Our ability to continue to incorporate or develop innovative tools in line with our growth is crucial to ensuring the success of our strategy. As discussed above in “— Investment in New Services”, we are committed to innovating new products and features. In addition, we are continuously integrating and evaluating acquisitions to enhance our technology platforms and launch features that are most beneficial to Pet Caregivers, Pet Parents, and third-party service partners.

Investment in New Markets

We plan to invest in existing and new markets, as well as new offerings. We believe that we can further expand in existing markets, to new markets within North America, and internationally by carefully targeting locations with a high expected demand for pet services. We believe there is an opportunity to expand our services outside of our existing geographic locations into other countries and regions where there is an attractive spend per pet to address. As we invest in new markets and create new offerings, we may increase our marketing strategies in a manner that could extend our marketing payback target in order to accelerate growth in each new market.

276

Pet Ownership Trends

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted demand for pet care and has had a significant impact on Pet Parent and Pet Caregiver behavior. Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, many Pet Parents experienced travel restrictions, shelter-in-place orders, and work from home requirements. Accordingly, at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, our revenue declined significantly, since many Pet Parents were home with their pets and did not require additional pet services. The services that we offer through our platform were also limited due to full and partial lockdowns.

However, since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, approximately 23 million pets were adopted by U.S. households through May 2021. According to the APPA, 70% of U.S. households own a pet, which equates to 90.5 million homes. We are focused on taking advantage of this significant opportunity to expand the base of Pet Parents using the Wag! platform given the increased size of the market in which we operate. We believe that the high volume of new Pet Parents, as well as return to office policies, may continue to have a positive effect on the number of bookings for pet services, and other pet related services over the longer term.

Pet Parent Preferences and Demand

As 95% of the U.S. population has access to the Wag! platform through an iPhone or Android device, our objective for long-term sustained growth is to create a platform that results in existing Pet Parents becoming repeat bookers, together with attracting new Pet Parents to our platform and to successfully convert them into repeat bookers. We attract Pet Parents to our platform through word-of-mouth and a variety of channels, such as social media, video, and other online and offline channels.

Through March 2022, more than 1.1 million Pet Parents have booked a service on our platform. Our proprietary on-demand platform allows Pet Parents to easily and conveniently find top rated Pet Caregivers to serve their pet service needs either on-demand or scheduled at their convenience. Our primary mobile app allows Pet Parents to access Pet Caregivers from anywhere, at any time. With 75% of Pet Parents not physically at home when their pet service is being performed, our platform allows Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents to avoid in-person contact if necessary or preferred by the Pet Parent. We believe this positions us well for ongoing growth as our platform allows both Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers the ability to mitigate COVID-19 related concerns.

Pet Caregiver Preferences and Demand

We attract Pet Caregivers to the platform primarily based on viral and word-of-mouth marketing strategies. We have industry-leading Net Promoter Scores for Pet Caregivers, which average between 45 to 55 as of the third quarter of 2021. Being a Pet Caregiver allows dog lovers to spend time with dogs and other animals, enabling them to lead a healthy lifestyle by getting exercise through dog walking while simultaneously participating in an activity that delights them.

To serve Pet Parents in any given market, a critical density of caregivers must be present so that Pet Parents have options and availability for on-demand services. During certain peak periods, such as holidays, we have observed high Pet Parent demand that has resulted in Pet Caregiver constraints in some markets. Our platform provides a technology feature that allows Pet Caregivers to set their own prices, encouraging Pet Caregivers to be more engaged during peak periods.

Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic

In addition to the foregoing factors, our results in 2020 were significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting measures undertaken by federal, state, and municipal governments. The COVID-19 pandemic has been a highly disruptive economic and societal event that initially negatively impacted demand for pet care due to shelter-in-place orders, travel restrictions, and work-from-home requirements implemented in March 2020. As a result, our monthly revenue in 2020 decreased approximately 80% compared to pre-COVID revenue. However, the re-opening of the economy, despite the continuation of the pandemic and the emergence of new variants, has resulted in a meaningful recovery of revenue in 2021

277

relative to 2020. Uncertainties in the global economy may adversely impact our operations, brand partners, customers, and other business partners, which may impact future revenue, and require other changes to our operations.

Restructuring

In Q4 2019, we announced a new leadership team and a restructuring plan aimed at reducing operating expenses and improving the Company’s cash flows. As part of the restructuring, we closed our Los Angeles offices and a number of ancillary offices, and refocused the business priorities to concentrate on technology and our user base. As a result of the restructuring, which was completed at the beginning of 2020, the Company recognized severance and other employee costs of $0.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2020. Additionally, as a result of the closure of the Los Angeles offices, the Company recognized lease cease-use charges of $3.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2020.

Subsequent to the restructuring, our renewed focus on technology has led to a number of new product features, as discussed above in “— Investment in New Services,” along with our acquisition and integration of complementary business features such as insurance comparison.

Effectiveness of our word-of-mouth, marketing and advertising activities

Our objective for long-term, sustained growth is to create a platform that results in existing Pet Parents becoming repeat bookers, together with attracting new Pet Parents to the platform and converting them into repeat bookers, thus generating a lifetime of bookings from the Pet Parent. We attract Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers to the platform through word-of-mouth and a variety of other channels, such as social media, video, and other online and offline channels. The easy to use and convenient platform organically drives word-of-mouth marketing and references amongst Pet Parent. Additionally, our brand awareness advertising activities, including social media and television advertisements, allow us to reach new Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers.

When assessing the efficiency and effectiveness of our marketing spend, we monitor, amongst other things, new sign ups and first-time booking activity on the platform.

Our ability to attract Pet Parents to the platform is very efficient as we benefit from the network effects associated with our platform.

Seasonality

Wag! experiences seasonality in the booking volume, which Wag! expects to continue and may become more substantial. Historically, Wag! has experienced lower walking service requests on the platform during holidays periods, offset by higher sitting and boarding requests during these periods.

Pending Business Combination with CHW

On February 2, 2022, CHW Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“CHW”), CHW Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned direct subsidiary of CHW (“Merger Sub”), and Wag! Labs, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Wag!”), entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), pursuant to which, and subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, the business combination of CHW, Merger Sub and Wag!

For more information regarding the Founders Stock Letter, see “The Business Combination Agreement — CHW Founders Stock Letter.”

In connection with entering into the Business Combination Agreement, on February 2, 2022, CHW entered into a definitive commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) with Blue Torch Capital LP (together with its affiliated funds and any other parties providing a commitment thereunder, including any additional lenders, agents, arrangers or other parties joined thereto after the date thereof, collectively, the “Debt Financing Sources”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Debt Financing Sources agreed to fund a $30 million senior secured Credit Facility. The closing and funding of the Credit Facility will occur in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to funding set forth in the Commitment Letter. Upon closing, Wag! will be the primary borrower under the Credit Facility, New Wag! will be a parent guarantor and substantially all of Wag!’s existing and future subsidiaries will be subsidiary guarantors (subject to certain customary exceptions). The Credit Facility will be secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all assets of Wag! and the guarantors (subject to certain customary exceptions). For more information regarding the debt financing, see “The Business Combination Agreement — Additional Agreements — Financing.”

In connection with entering into the Business Combination Agreement, on February 2, 2022, CHW entered into PIPE and Backstop Agreement, as modified and supplemented by that certain side letter agreement between CHW and the PIPE and Backstop Investor, dated June 30, 2022, pursuant to which, among other things, the PIPE and Backstop Investors agreed to purchase from CHW, and not in the open market, an aggregate of 500,000 shares of common stock of CHW prior to the Acquisition Merger at a cash purchase price of $10.00 per share, resulting in aggregate proceeds of $5 million. For more information regarding the PIPE and Backstop Subscription Agreement, see “The Business Combination Agreement — PIPE and Backstop Subscription Agreement.”

(“Management Earnout RSUs”), shares of New Wag! common stock (which will be equitably adjusted) (the “Management Earnout Shares”). For more information regarding the earnout, triggering events, and equitable adjustments, see “The Business Combination Agreement — Earnout.”

Components of Our Results of Operations

The following is a summary of the principal line items comprising our operating results.

Revenue

We provide an online marketplace that enables Pet Parents to connect with Pet Caregivers for various pet services. We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with its Customers from four distinct streams: (1) service fees charged to Pet Caregivers for use of the platform to discover pet service opportunities and to successfully complete a pet care service to a Pet Parent, (2) subscription and other fees paid by Pet Parents for Wag! Premium, (3) joining fees paid by Pet Caregivers to join and be listed on the platform, and (4) wellness revenue through affiliate fees paid by third-party service partners based

279

on ‘revenue-per-action’ or conversion activity. For some of the Company’s arrangements with third-party service providers, the transaction price is considered variable and an estimate of the transaction price is recorded when the action occurs. The estimated transaction price used in the variable consideration is based on historical data with the respective third-party service partner and the consideration is measured and settled monthly.

Cost of Revenue, Excluding Depreciation and Amortization

Cost of revenue consists of costs directly related to revenue generating transactions, which, primarily includes fees paid to payment processors for payment processing fees, hosting and platform-related infrastructure costs, third-party costs for background checks for Pet Caregivers, and other costs arising as a result of revenue transactions that take place on our platform, excluding depreciation and amortization.

Platform Operations and Support

Platform operations and support expenses include personnel-related compensation costs of technology and operations teams, and third-party operations support costs.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses include personnel-related compensation costs of the marketing team, advertising expenses, and Pet Parent incentives. Sales and marketing expenses are expensed as incurred.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expense includes personnel-related compensation costs for employees on corporate functions, such as management, accounting, and legal as well as insurance and other expenses used to run the business, together with outside party service costs of related items such as auditors and lawyers.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses primarily consist of depreciation and amortization expenses associated with our property and equipment. Amortization includes expenses associated with our capitalized software and website development.

Interest Income

Interest income consists primarily of interest earned on our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments.

Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”) and Non-GAAP Measures

We regularly review several metrics, including the following key performance indicators, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP measures and the comparable GAAP measure is net income (loss). Please refer to the “— Non-GAAP Measures” section below for further discussion with respect to how we define these measures, as well as for reconciliations to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA provides a basis for comparison of our business operations between current, past, and future periods by excluding items from net income (loss) that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with U.S. GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts used by other companies or persons, because they may not calculate these non-GAAP measures in the same manner.

280

Bookings

We define Bookings as the total dollar value of transactions booked via the platform for pet services and wellness services, in each case without any adjustment for discounts and refunds, Pet Caregiver earnings, and Pet Parent incentives. Bookings are an indication of the scale of our current platform, which ultimately impacts revenue.

We define Take Rate as revenue as percentage of Gross Bookings. Take Rate is an indication of marketplace economics, and is impacted by product offerings with different margin structures.

Since our inception in 2015 to March 2022, 12.1 million Pet Parents have booked services through our platform. Our gross bookings in 2021 were $47.4 million compared to $35.0 million in 2020 and $17.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, with the increase in 2020 and 2021 largely attributable to the recovery from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The following tables present our key performance indicators for the periods presented (in thousands except Adjusted EBITDA %).

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

In addition to revenue and net loss, which are measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin provide relevant and useful information that is widely used by analysts, investors, and competitors in our industry to assess performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), adjusted for interest expense, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, income taxes, as well as other items to be consistent with definitions typically used by lenders, including transaction costs. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted

281

EBITDA divided by revenue. However, you should be aware that when evaluating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Wag! may incur future expenses similar to those excluded when calculating these measures. Wag!’s presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Wag! compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on its U.S. GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin on a supplemental basis. Wag!’s computation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies because not all companies calculate this measure in the same fashion. You should review the reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Wag!’s business.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are useful to an investor in evaluating our performance because these measures:

•

are widely used by analysts, investors, and competitors to measure a company’s operating performance;

•

are used by our lenders and/or prospective lenders to measure our performance; and

•

are used by our management for various purposes, including as a measure of performance and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting.

The reconciliations of net loss, which is the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure, to non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 are as follows:

​	Three Months Ended March 31,

Revenue

Revenue increased by $7.1 million, or 273%, from $2.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $9.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to a $5.2 million increase in wellness revenue which was launched in August 2021. The increase also includes a $1.9 million increase in service revenue due to an increase in service fees stemming from increased Pet Parents engagement of Pet Caregivers to provide pet care services as a result of increased return-to-office and travel trends.

Cost of Revenue, Excluding Depreciation and Amortization

Cost of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization, increased by $0.3 million, or 54%, from $0.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to a $0.2 million increase in payment processing fees driven by higher transaction volume and a $0.1 million increase in background check costs driven by an increase in new Pet Caregivers.

Platform Operations and Support

Platform operations and support expenses increased by $0.1 million, or 5%, from $2.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to a $0.1 million increase in personnel-related compensation costs for our technology and operations teams.

283

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $5.5 million, or 905%, from $0.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to a $4.2 million increase in advertising expenses as we invest in brand awareness, and a $1.2 million increase in personnel-related compensation costs for our marketing team, consultants, and advertising agency costs.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses increased by $0.7 million, or 42%, from $1.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to a $0.4 million increase in professional services costs, and a $0.3 million increase in personnel-related costs for our corporate functions.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased from $55 thousand in the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $152 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to amortization expense arising from the acquisition of CPI, partially offset by reduced property and equipment as a result of decreased leased office space with depreciating leasehold improvements.

Interest Income, net

Interest expense, net increased from $5 thousand in the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $32 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to accretion expense related to deferred purchase consideration in connection with the acquisition of CPI.

Comparisons between positive and negative numbers and with a zero are not meaningful

Revenue

Revenue increased by $8.1 million, or 68%, from $12.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2020 to $20.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to increased booking activity in the marketplace stemming from reduced state and local COVID-19 restrictions, increased travel, the start of reopening of some workplaces and stores, and the launch of Wellness services.

Cost of Revenue, Excluding Depreciation and Amortization

Cost of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization, increased by $21 thousand, or 1%, from the year ended December 31, 2020 to the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to a $0.2 million increase in payment processing fees driven by higher transaction volume and a $0.1 million increase in background check costs driven by an increase in new Pet Caregivers, partially offset by $0.3 million decrease in technology costs driven by optimization of platform hosting and platform related technology architecture. While revenue has increased by 68% due to increased bookings and the launch of Wellness, cost of revenue has increased by only 1% due to efficiencies and optimizations in platform hosting and platform related technology architecture, and efficiencies and optimizations of payment processing. To the extent that we continue to see revenue growth in the future, we expect that our cost of revenue will also continue to increase on an absolute dollar basis in the future. Cost of revenue may vary as a percentage of revenue due to the addition of offerings with higher profitability, and the efficiencies and optimizations mentioned above.

Platform Operations and Support

Platform operations and support expenses decreased by $3.0 million, or 23%, from $13.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2020 to $10.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $1.9 million decrease in personnel-related costs for our technology and operations teams and third-party service vendors and a $0.9 million decrease in operations support and related software costs, as a result of our restructuring, and optimization of technology utilized by our operations and support teams.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $7.1 million, or 226%, from $3.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2020 to $10.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to a $5.3 million increase in advertising expenses and a $1.8 million increase in personnel-related costs for our marketing team, consultants, and advertising agency costs.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses decreased $4.6 million, or 40%, from $11.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2020 to $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $4.4 million decrease in facility expense driven by the early termination of the LA office lease, a $1.3 million decrease in personnel-related costs for our corporate functions, partially offset by a $1.0 million increase in professional services costs.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased from $213 thousand in the year ended December 31, 2020 to $388 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to amortization expense arising from the CPI acquisition, partially offset by reduced property and equipment as a result of decreased leased office space with depreciating leasehold improvements.

285

Interest Income, net

Interest income, net decreased from $145 thousand in the year ended December 31, 2020 to $61 thousand interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower short-term investments available for sale balance, lower interest rates, and PPP loan interest expense.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense was a benefit of $0.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to an expense of $13 thousand in the year ended December 31, 2020. The benefit was primarily attributable to a reduction to the valuation allowance arising from deferred tax liabilities arising from the acquisition of CPI during the year ended December 31, 2021 and no provision or benefit for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2020.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Since inception, and in line with our growth strategy, we have incurred operating losses and negative cash operating cash flows and have financed our operations through the sale of equity securities. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, and for the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, we had a net loss of $2.4 million, $2.7 million, $6.3 million, $18.8 million, respectively. We expect that operating losses and negative operating cash flows could continue into the foreseeable future as we continue to invest in growing our business. Based upon our current operating plans and accounting for the proceeds from the Business Combination, including the Series P Investment, PIPE and Backstop Investment and Debt Financing, we believe that cash and equivalents and short-term investments will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months from the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. However, these forecasts involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary materially. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could deplete our capital resources earlier than we expect.

Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, our ability to grow our revenue and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors described in the section titled “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this proxy statement/​prospectus. We may seek additional equity or debt financing. If additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

On February 2, 2022, we entered into the Business Combination Agreement. Immediately following the closing of the business combination, our name will be changed to Wag! Group Co. and our common stock and warrants to purchase common stock will trade on Nasdaq under the symbols “PET” and “PETW”, respectively.

On January 28, 2022, in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, Wag! entered into the Series P Subscription Agreements, pursuant to which Wag! has agreed to sell 1,100,000 Series P Shares to certain investors in a private placement at a price of $10.00 per share.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $2.2 million, a decrease of $0.1 million from $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to a $0.4 million net cash increase in Wag!’s operating assets and liabilities, which was primarily attributable due to a $1.0 million increase in accounts receivable, and current and other assets, partially offset by a reduction of $0.6 million in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities and other non-current liabilities. The increase was further offset by a decrease in net loss of $0.3 million, excluding the impact of depreciation and stock-based compensation, and other non-cash items.

Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $12.3 million, a decrease of $14.2 million from $26.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in net loss of $12.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020, excluding the impact of depreciation and stock-based compensation, and other non-cash items. This was partially offset by $3.5 million for the forgiveness of the PPP loan and $0.8 million in income tax benefit from the CPI acquisition, and a $5.9 million net cash reduction by changes in Wag!’s operating assets and liabilities, which was primarily attributable to a reduction of $8.3 million in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities and other non-current liabilities, partially offset by an increase of $2.3 million in accounts receivable, deferred offering costs, and other current assets.

Investing Activities

The Company’s investments are classified as available for sale and we invest in a diversified portfolio of investments, primarily short-term U.S. government and agency securities, money market funds, commercial paper, and corporate bonds. In addition, we limit the concentration of our investment in any particular security.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $6.7 million, an increase of $7.8 million from $1.1 million provided for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to $9.4 million less of proceeds received from the sale of investments, offset by $1.7 million of reduced purchases of investments.

Net cash provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $11.9 million, a decrease of $7.9 million from $19.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to $71.2 million of purchases of investments, offset by a $77.4 million of proceeds received for the sale of investments, and an increase of $1.5 million paid for the CPI acquisition.

287

Financing Activities

Net cash from financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $9.7 million of cash proceeds in financing activities compared to $1 thousand of net cash proceeds in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase of $9.7 million was primarily due to proceeds received from the Preferred Series P issuance, net of issuance costs and deferred offering costs.

Net cash from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $51 thousand of cash used in financing activities compared to $5.1 million of net cash provided in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease of $5.1 million was primarily due to proceeds received from the PPP loan.

Debt

PPP Loan

In August 2020, the Company received loan proceeds of approximately $5.1 million from a financial institution pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”) as administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). The application for these funds required the Company to, in good faith, certify that the current economic uncertainty made the loan request necessary to support the ongoing operations of the Company. This certification further required the Company to take into account its then-current business activity and its ability to access other sources of liquidity sufficient to support ongoing operations in a manner that is not significantly detrimental to the business. The receipt of these funds, and the forgiveness of the loan attendant to these funds, was dependent on the Company having initially qualified for the loan and qualifying for the forgiveness of such loan based on its adherence to the forgiveness criteria.

In August 2021, the Company applied for forgiveness of $3.5 million of the PPP Loan, and in September 2021, the SBA approved the Company’s loan forgiveness application in the amount of $3.5 million. The term of the PPP Loan is five years with a maturity date of August 2025 and contains a fixed annual interest rate of 1.00%. Principal and interest payments began in November 2021.

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined by applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

We have prepared our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In doing so, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. A number of the estimates and assumptions we are required to make relate to matters that are inherently uncertain as they pertain to future events. We base these estimates and assumptions on historical experience or on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, we reconsider and evaluate our estimates and assumptions.

We believe that the accounting policies listed below involve our more significant judgments, estimates and assumptions and, therefore, could have the greatest potential impact on our consolidated financial statements. In addition, we believe that a discussion of these policies is necessary to understand and evaluate the consolidated financial statements included in this proxy statement/prospectus. For additional information on our critical and other significant accounting policies, see “Components of Results of Operations.”

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with its Customers. Through its Services offerings, the Company principally generates service revenue from service

288

fees charged to Pet Caregivers for use of the platform to discover pet service opportunities and to successfully complete a pet care service to a Pet Parent. The Company also generates revenue from subscription fees paid by Pet Parents for Wag! Premium, and fees paid by Pet Caregivers to join the platform. Additionally, through its Wellness offerings, the Company generates revenue through commission fees paid by third-party service partners in the form of ‘revenue-per-action’ or conversion activity defined in our agreements with the third-party service partner. For some of the Company’s arrangements with third-party service partners, the transaction price is considered variable and an estimate of the transaction price is recorded when the action occurs. The estimated transaction price used in the variable consideration is based on historical data with the respective third-party service partner and the consideration is measured and settled monthly.

We enter into terms of service with Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents to use the platform (“Terms of Service Agreements”), as well as an Independent Contractor Agreement (“ICA”) with Pet Caregivers (the ICA, together with the Terms of Service Agreements, the “Agreements”). The Agreements govern the fees we charge the Pet Caregivers for each transaction. Upon acceptance of a transaction, Pet Caregivers agree to perform the services that are requested by a Pet Parent. The acceptance of a transaction request combined with the Agreements establishes enforceable rights and obligations for each transaction. A contract exists between us and the Pet Caregivers after both the Pet Caregiver and Pet Parent accept a transaction request and the Pet Caregiver’s ability to cancel the transaction lapses. For Wag! Wellness revenue, the Company enters into agreements with third party service partners which define the action by a Pet Parent that results in the Company earning and receiving a commission fee from the third-party service partner.

Our service obligations are performed and revenue is recognized for fees earned from Pet Caregivers related to the facilitation and completion of a pet service transaction between the Pet Parent and the Pet Caregiver through the use of our platform. Revenue generated from Wag! Premium subscription is recognized on a ratable basis over the contractual period, which is generally one month to one year depending on the type of subscription purchased by the Pet Parent. Unused subscription amounts are recorded as gift card and subscription liabilities on the balance sheet. Revenue related to the fees paid by the Pet Caregiver to join the platform is recognized upon processing the applications. Wag! Wellness revenue performance obligation is completed, and revenue is recognized when a Pet Parent completes an action or conversion activity.

Principal vs. Agent Considerations

Judgment is required in determining whether we are the principal or agent in transactions with Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents. We evaluate the presentation of revenue on a gross or net basis based on whether we control the service provided to the Pet Parent as the principal (i.e. “gross”), or whether we arrange for other parties to provide the service to the Pet Parent as an agent (i.e. “net”). This determination also impacts the presentation of incentives provided to both Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents, as well as discounts and promotions offered to Pet Parents to the extent they are not customers.

Our role in a transaction on the platform is to facilitate Pet Caregivers finding, applying for, and completing a successful pet care service for a Pet Parent. We concluded that we are the agent in transactions with Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents because, among other factors, our role is to facilitate pet service opportunities to Pet Caregivers and we are not responsible for nor do we control the delivery of pet services provided by the Pet Caregiver to the Pet Parent.

Gift Cards

We sell gift cards that can be redeemed by Pet Parents through the platform. Proceeds from the sale of gift cards are deferred and recorded as contract liabilities in gift card and subscription liabilities on the balance sheets until Pet Parents use the card to place orders on its platform. When gift cards are redeemed, revenue is recognized on a net basis as the difference between the amounts collected from the purchaser less amounts remitted to PCGs. Unused gift cards are recorded as gift card and subscription liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

Incentives

We offer discounts and promotions to encourage use of our platform. These are offered in various forms of discounts and promotions and include:

289

•

Targeted Pet Parent discounts and promotions: These discounts and promotions are offered to a limited number of Pet Parents in a specific market to acquire, re-engage, or generally increase Pet Parents’ use of the platform, and are akin to a coupon. We record the cost of these discounts and promotions as sales and marketing expenses at the time they are redeemed by the Pet Parent.

•

Market-wide promotions: These promotions are pricing actions in the form of discounts that reduce the price Pet Parents pay Pet Caregivers for services. These promotions result in a lower fee earned by us from the Pet Caregiver. Accordingly, we record the cost of these promotions as a reduction of revenue at the time the service is completed. Discounts on services offered through our subscription program are also recorded as a reduction of revenue.

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, allocation of the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. When determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management makes significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to the valuation of intangible assets. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with a corresponding offset to goodwill if new information is obtained related to facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the fair value of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. Acquisition costs, such as legal and consulting fees, are expensed as incurred.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has an equity incentive plan under which it grants equity awards, including stock options. The Company determines compensation expense associated with stock options based on the estimated grant date fair value method using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Black-Scholes model considers several variables and assumptions in estimating the fair value of stock-based awards. These variables include per share fair value of the underlying common stock, exercise price, expected term, risk-free interest rate, expected stock price volatility over the expected term, and expected annual dividend yield.

For all stock options granted, the Company calculates the expected term using the simplified method as it has limited historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to otherwise estimate expected term, and the options have characteristics of “plain-vanilla” options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues similar in duration to the expected term of the stock-based award. The Company’s common stock is not publicly traded, and therefore, the Company uses the historical volatility of the stock price of similar publicly traded peer companies. The Company utilizes a dividend yield of zero, as it has no history or plan of declaring dividends on its common stock. The Company generally recognizes compensation expense using a straight-line amortization method over the respective service period for awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach, which requires the recognition of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial or tax returns. The measurement of the deferred items is based on enacted tax laws. In the event the future consequences of differences between financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities result in a deferred tax asset, the Company evaluates the probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such asset. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that either

290

some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount of future tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized. We regularly review the deferred tax assets for recoverability based on historical taxable income or loss, projected future taxable income or loss, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and tax planning strategies. Our judgment regarding future profitability may change due to many factors, including future market conditions and the ability to successfully execute the business plans and/or tax planning strategies. Should there be a change in the ability to recover deferred tax assets, our income tax provision would increase or decrease in the period in which the assessment is changed.

The Company recognizes a tax benefit from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable, based solely on its technical merits and consideration of the relevant taxing authorities’ administrative practices and precedents. The tax benefits recognized from such positions are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being recognized upon settlement.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

The Company intends to apply the option given to public companies to adopt new or revised accounting guidance as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) either (1) within the same time periods as those otherwise applicable to public business entities, or (2) within the same time periods as private companies, including early adoption when permissible. With the exception of certain standards, the Company elected to early adopt, when permissible, new or revised accounting guidance within the same time period as private companies, as indicated below.

On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This standard requires lessees to recognize all leases with initial terms in excess of one year on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the commencement date. The Company adopted the new leases standard utilizing the modified retrospective transition method, under which amounts in prior periods presented were not restated. For contracts existing at the time of adoption, the Company elected to not reassess (i) whether any are or contain leases, (ii) lease classification, and (iii) initial direct costs. Upon adoption, the Company recorded $0.5 million of right-of-use assets and $0.5 million of lease liabilities on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This ASU removes certain exceptions to the general principles of Topic 740 and provides clarification and simplification of existing guidance. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material effect on its financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

JOBS Act Accounting Election

Each of CHW and Wag! is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. The JOBS Act permits companies with emerging growth company status to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards, delaying the adoption of these accounting standards until they would apply to private companies. Following the closing of the Business Combination, New Wag! expects to use this extended transition period to enable it to comply with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date New Wag! (1) is no longer an emerging growth company or (2) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting standards as of public company effective dates.

In addition, following the closing of the Business Combination, New Wag! intends to rely on the other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act.

2014 Plan

Wag!’s board of directors adopted the 2014 Plan in November 2014 and the 2014 Plan was subsequently approved by Wag!’s stockholders.

Stock Awards.   The 2014 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options (“ISOs”), nonqualified stock options (“NSOs”), and other stock awards, or collectively, “stock awards”. The 2014 Plan provides that ISOs may be granted only to Wag!’s employees and the employees of Wag!’s parents or affiliates. The 2014 provides that all other awards may be granted to Wag!’s employees, non-employee directors and consultants and the employees and consultants of Wag!’s parent or affiliates. We have granted stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the 2014 Plan.

Share Reserve.   Subject to certain capitalization adjustments, the aggregate number of shares of Wag!’s common stock reserved for issuance under the 2014 Plan as of December 31, 2021 was 12,954,158 shares. The maximum number of shares of Wag! common stock that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of ISOs under the 2014 Plan is 12,954,158 shares.

Administration.   Wag!’s board of directors, or a duly authorized committee thereof, has the full authority to administer, and discretion to take any actions it deems necessary or advisable for the administration of, the 2014 Plan. The 2014 Plan authorizes the plan administrator to determine the applicable fair market value and the provisions of the stock awards, including the period of their exercisability, the vesting schedule applicable to a stock award, and any other additional terms, conditions rules or procedures to accommodate the rules or laws of applicable non-U.S. jurisdictions. The 2014 Plan also authorizes the plan administrator to modify outstanding awards, including reducing the exercise, purchase or exercise price of any outstanding stock award, and canceling any outstanding stock award in exchange for new stock awards, with the consent of any adversely affected participant.

Stock Options.   ISOs and NSOs were granted under the 2014 Plan pursuant to stock option agreements adopted by the plan administrator. The plan administrator determined the exercise price for a stock option, which was not less than 100% of the fair market value of Wag!’s common stock on the date of grant. The plan administrator determined the term of stock options granted under the 2014 Plan, up to a maximum of ten years. Unless the terms of an optionholder’s stock option agreement provide otherwise, if an optionholder’s service relationship with Wag!, or Wag!’s parent or its affiliates, ceases for any reason other than death, the optionholder may generally exercise any vested stock option for a period of the earlier of (a) the expiration of the stock option, (b) three months following optionholder’s termination of service for

295

any reason other than disability or upon a date as determined by Wag!’s board of directors (but no earlier than 30 days following such termination) and (c) six months following optionholder’s termination by reason of disability or a later date as determined by Wag!’s board of directors. If an optionholder’s service relationship with us or any of Wag!’s affiliates ceases due to death, the optionholder or a beneficiary may generally exercise any vested stock options for a period of the earlier of (i) the expiration of the stock option and (b) 12 months following the optionholder’s death or a date as determined by Wag!’s board of directors (but in no event earlier than six months following the optionholder’s death). In no event may a stock option be exercised beyond the expiration of its term. Acceptable consideration for the purchase of common stock issued upon the exercise of a stock option, as determined by the plan administrator, may include (1) cash, (2) cash equivalent, (3) delivery of a full-recourse promissory note with such term, interest, amortization requirements and other provisions as the plan administrator determines as appropriate, (4) surrender of shares (5) a broker-assisted cashless exercise, (6) a net exercise of the stock option, (7) as provided under an award agreement, or (8) any other form of payment permitted by Delaware General Corporate Law.

Payment for Shares.   The 2014 Plan additionally provides for the grant or purchase of shares under the 2014 Plan in exchange for services or other forms of consideration. Such awards are subject to the terms specified in the award agreement as determined by the plan administrator.

Changes to Capital Structure.   In the event that there is a specified type of change in Wag!’s capital structure, such as a stock split or recapitalization, appropriate adjustments will be made to the number of shares covered by each outstanding award, and the number of shares which have been authorized for issuance under the 2014 Plan, the exercise or purchase price of each such outstanding award, and the repurchase price of the shares.

Corporate Transactions.   The 2014 Plan provides that in the event Wag! is party to a merger or consolidation, or in the event of a sale of all or substantially all of Wag!’s stock or assets, of certain specified significant corporate transactions, unless otherwise provided in an award agreement or other written agreement between us and the award holder, all outstanding awards issued under the 2014 Plan shall be treated in the manner described in the definitive transaction agreement, or to the extent such transaction does not entail a definitive agreement to which Wag! is party to, the plan administrator may take one or more of the following actions with respect to such stock awards: (a) arrange for the assumption, continuation, or substitution of a stock award by a surviving or acquiring corporation or its parent, (b) accelerate the vesting of the stock award, (c) cancel stock awards for payment in the form of cash, cash equivalents or securities (i) in an amount equal to the excess of (x) the value of the property the holder of the stock award would have received on exercise of the award, over (y) any exercise price payable by such holder in connection with the exercise, or (ii) for no consideration, provided that the optionholder is notified of such treatment, (e) suspend an optionholder’s right to exercise the stock option as necessary to permit the closing of the corporate transaction, and (f) terminate any optionholder’s right to early exercise.

Transferability.   A participant generally may not transfer stock awards under the 2014 Plan other than by a beneficiary designation, will, the laws of descent and distribution or to the extent provided in a stock option agreement, NSOs may be transferred by gift or pursuant to a domestic relations order to members of holder’s (a) family member, (b) any person sharing the holder’s household, (c) a trust in which persons described in (a)and (b) holds more than 50% of the beneficial interest, (c) a foundation in which holder or persons described in (a) or (b) control the management of assets, and (d) any entity in which holder or any persons described in (a) and (b) own more than 50% of the voting interests.

Amendment and Termination.   Wag!’s board of directors has the authority to amend, suspend or terminate the 2014 Plan, provided that, with certain exceptions, such action does not adversely affect the existing rights of any participant without such participant’s consent. Unless terminated sooner, the 2014 Plan will automatically terminate on November 4, 2024. No stock award may be granted under the 2014 Plan after it is terminated.

Severance and Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

Severance Letters

Each of our Named Executive Officers entered into a severance agreement in connection with their Offer Letter (the “Severance Letter”) that provides for the following severance benefits upon a termination

296

without Cause: (a) six months of base salary continuation payments and (b) Company paid monthly COBRA premiums in an amount equal to the employer portion of the health insurance coverage provided to active employees for up to six months, provided that this benefit will cease if the Named Executive Officer becomes eligible for coverage in connection with new employment or self-employment prior to the expiration of the six month period. The severance benefits provided for in the Severance Letter are subject to the Named Executive Officer’s execution of a general release and waiver of claims in favor of the Company.

Under the Severance Letter, “Cause” generally means the Named Executive Officer’s (a) unauthorized use or disclosure of the Company’s confidential information or trade secrets, which use or disclosure causes material harm to the Company, (b) material breach of any agreement between the Named Executive Officer and the Company, (c) material failure to comply with the Company’s written policies or rules, (d) conviction of, or the Named Executive Officer’s plea of “guilty” or “no contest” to, a felony under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, (e) gross negligence or willful misconduct, (f) continuing failure to perform assigned duties after receiving written notification of the failure from the Company’s board of directors or (g) failure to cooperate in good faith with a governmental or internal investigation of the Company or its directors, officers or employees, if the Company has requested the Named Executive Officer’s cooperation.

2020 Management Carve-Out Bonus Plan

Each of our Named Executive Officers participate in our 2020 Management Carve-Out Bonus Plan (the “Carve-Out Plan”) which provides our Named Executive Officers with the opportunity to receive to cash payments in connection with a Company Transaction. Pursuant to the terms of the Carve-Out Plan, each participant is granted a percentage of the plan pool (a portion of the consideration received in a Company Transaction) which vests according to a schedule set forth in an individual participant agreement.

Messrs. Smallwood and Arjomand’s participation agreements provide each with a 26.667% interest in the Carve-Out Plan pool, with 25% of the award vesting on the grant date, January 14, 2020, and the remainder of the award vesting monthly over the three years following the vesting commencement date, November 29, 2019, subject to continuous service through each such vesting date. Mr. Storm’s participation agreement provides him with a 26.667% interest in the Carve-Out Plan pool. The percentage interest vests monthly over the four years following the vesting commencement date, January 14, 2020, subject to continuous service through each such vesting date.

Additionally, in the event that any of our Named Executive Officers experiences a termination without Cause within three months prior to a Change in Control Transaction, such Named Executive Officer will remain a participant under the Carve-Out Plan, their percentage interest will become 100% vested and remain outstanding, and such Named Executive Officer will be eligible to receive a change in control bonus as if such termination without Cause had not occurred, subject to the terms and conditions of the Carve-Out Plan.

The change in control bonus paid to each of the Named Executive Officers in connection with a Corporate Transaction will be an amount equal to the product of (i) the Named Executive Officer’s vested percentage interest in the Carve-Out Plan pool multiplied by (ii) the total bonus pool (an amount equal to 15% of the aggregate transaction proceeds); provided, however, that such product will be reduced by the Named Executive Officer’s respective individual transaction proceeds. Individual transaction proceeds is generally defined as the aggregate value of any consideration that a Named Executive Officer receives in connection with the transaction in respect of the Named Executive Officer’s equity in the Company (including common stock, RSUs, Wag! Options or similar incentive equity). Each of Messrs. Smallwood, Arjomand, and Storm have a percentage interest of 26.667% of the Carve-Out Plan pool, subject to the vesting schedule above.

The terms of each of our Named Executive Officer’s Severance Letters provide that any payments such Named Executive Officers may become entitled to pursuant to the Carve-Out Plan upon a qualifying termination will be reduced by the amount of any cash severance actually paid pursuant to the above terms.

For the purposes of the Carve-Out Plan, the following terms generally have the following meanings:

“Change in Control Transaction” means a Company Transaction that also constitutes a change in the ownership of the Company, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company,

297

within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Sections 1.409A-3(i)(5)(v) and 1.409A-3(i)(5)(vii).

“Company Transaction” means the first of the following transactions to occur: (a) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or other entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, other than any such consolidation, merger or reorganization in which the shares of capital stock of the Company immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, or reorganization, continue to represent a majority of the voting power of the surviving entity (or, if the surviving entity is a wholly-owned subsidiary, its parent) immediately after such consolidation, merger, or reorganization; (b) any transaction or series of related transactions to which the Company is a party in which in excess of 50% of the voting rights attached to the Company’s securities is transferred, or (c) a sale, lease, exclusive irrevocable license to the Company’s material technology or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the business of the Company; provided that a Company Transaction will not include any transaction or series of transactions principally for bona fide equity financing purposes in which cash is received by the Company or any successor or indebtedness of the Company is cancelled or converted or a combination thereof. For avoidance of doubt, a liquidation, dissolution, winding up, bankruptcy, or similar transaction of the Company will not constitute a Company Transaction; provided, however, that in the event, as part of such transaction, all or substantially all of the assets of the business of the Company are sold to third parties or a third party in one or a series of related transactions, then the consideration received from such related sale(s) shall be treated as received in a Company Transaction, will be treated as aggregate transaction proceeds and will subject to the terms of the Carve-Out Plan.

“Cause” has the same meaning as the “Cause” definition in the “Severance Letter” as described in “— Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control — Severance Letters.”

Treatment of Outstanding Equity Upon Termination or Change in Control

Each Wag! Option granted to our Named Executive Officers in March 2020 and March 2021 will become fully vested upon the Involuntary Termination of such Named Executive Officer within three months prior to or twelve months following a Change in Control.

With respect to the March 2020 and March 2021 Wag! Options, “Involuntary Termination” generally means a termination without “Cause” ​(which has the same meaning as the “Cause” definition in the “Severance Letter” as described in “— Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control — Severance Letters”) and “Change in Control” generally means (i) any consolidation or merger of Wag! with or into any other corporation or other entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, other than any such consolidation, merger or reorganization in which the shares of capital stock of Wag! immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, or reorganization, continue to represent a majority of the voting power of the surviving entity (or, if the surviving entity is a wholly-owned subsidiary, its parent) immediately after such consolidation, merger, or reorganization; (ii) any transaction or series of related transactions to which Wag! is a party in which in excess of 50% of the voting rights attached to Wag!’s securities is transferred, or (iii) a sale, lease, exclusive irrevocable license to material technology or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets or business of Wag!; provided that a “Change in Control” does not include any transaction or series of transactions principally for bona fide equity financing purposes in which cash is received by Wag! or any successor or indebtedness of Wag! is cancelled or converted or a combination thereof.

In addition, the Wag! Option grant made to Mr. Arjomand in August 2018 (the “Arjomand 2018 Option Grant”) will become fully vested upon the termination of Mr. Arjomand by the Company for reasons other than Cause or by Mr. Arjomand for Good Reason within twelve months following a Change in Control.

For purposes of the Arjomand 2018 Option Grant, the following terms generally have the following meaning:

“Cause” has the same meaning as the “Cause” definition in the “Severance Letter” as described in “— Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control — Severance Letters.”

298

“Change in Control” means (i) the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity or (ii) the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; provided that a merger or consolidation of the Company shall not constitute a “Change in Control” if immediately after such merger or consolidation a majority of the voting power of the capital stock of the continuing or surviving entity, or any direct or indirect parent corporation of such continuing or surviving entity, will be owned by the persons who were the Company’s stockholders immediately prior to such merger or consolidation in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the voting power of the Company’s capital stock immediately prior to such merger or consolidation.

“Good Reason” means one of the following conditions coming into existence without Mr. Arjomand’s consent (a) a reduction in Mr. Arjomand’s base salary by more than 10%, (b) a material diminution of Mr. Arjomand’s authority, duties or responsibilities, or (c) a relocation of Mr. Arjomand’s principal workplace by more than 30 miles.

Interests of Wag! Executive Officers in the Business Combination

As described under “Earnout”, certain Wag! Executive Officers will receive Management Earnout RSUs as part of the Business Combination. Upon occurrence of each Triggering Event, or a change in control, holders of Management Earnout RSUs will receive a one-time issuance of Management Earnout Shares. Certain members of New Wag!’s management team, which may include certain executive officers of Wag!, will also be entitled to receive warrant proceeds in the event New Wag! conducts a tender offer or other redemption, termination or cancellation of the assumed CHW warrants, as described in the Business Combination Agreement section entitled “Warrant Proceeds.”

Post-Business Combination Company Executive Compensation

Following the completion of the Business Combination, New Wag! intends to develop an executive compensation program that is designed to align compensation with New Wag!’s business objectives and the creation of stockholder value, while enabling New Wag! to attract, motivate and retain individuals who contribute to the long-term success of New Wag! Decisions on the executive compensation program will be made by the compensation committee of the board of directors of New Wag! In addition, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, each Wag! Option held by a Named Executive Officer will be treated as provided in the Business Combination Agreement.

Director Compensation

The following table sets forth information regarding compensation earned by or paid to each person who served as a non-employee member of our board of directors during 2021. In 2021, except as otherwise described below, we did not pay any fees, make any equity awards, or pay any other compensation to any of the other non-employee members of our board of directors. We reimburse members of our board of directors for reasonable travel expenses incurred in connection with attending meetings of the board of directors, however, given that our board and committee meetings were conducted remotely in 2021, no such expenses were incurred and reimbursed in 2021. Mr. Smallwood, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, received no compensation for his service as a member of our board of directors in 2021, and is not included in this table. The compensation received by Mr. Smallwood as an employee is presented in the “Summary Compensation Table for the Year Ended December 31, 2021” in the “Executive Compensation” section of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Director Independence

The rules of Nasdaq require that a majority of our Board be independent within one year of our initial public offering. An “independent director” is defined as a person other than an executive officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the company’s Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. It is anticipated that each individual expected to serve on our Board upon consummation of the Business Combination, will qualify as an independent director under Nasdaq listing standards. Further, the Board also expects to create the position of lead independent director upon consummation of the Business Combination and appoint Jocelyn Mangan to serve in the role.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, it is anticipated that the New Wag! Board will have three standing committees: an audit committee, a compensation committee, and a nominating and governance committee. Our audit committee will be composed of independent directors, our compensation committee will be composed of independent directors, and our nominating and governance committee will be composed of directors.

Audit Committee

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, it is anticipated that the members of our audit committee will consist of Melinda Chelliah and Roger Lee. Melinda Chelliah is expected to serve as the chairperson of the audit committee. Under the Nasdaq listing rules and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have at least three members of the audit committee. The rules of Nasdaq and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company be composed solely of independent directors, and it is anticipated that each will qualify as independent directors under applicable rules. Each of Melinda Chelliah and Roger Lee is financially literate and it is anticipated that Melinda Chelliah will qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules.

Compensation Committee

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, our compensation committee will consist of Jocelyn Mangan and Brian Yee. Jocelyn Mangan is expected to serve as the chairperson of the compensation

303

committee. Under the Nasdaq listing rules, we are required to have at least two members of the compensation committee. The Nasdaq rules also require that the compensation committee be composed solely of independent directors. Each of Jocelyn Mangan and Brian Yee will qualify as independent directors.

Nominating and Governance Committee

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, our compensation committee will consist of Jocelyn Mangan and Niko Bonastos. Jocelyn Mangan is expected to serve as the chairperson of the nominating and governance committee.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

No member of the Wag! compensation committee was at any time during fiscal year 2022, or at any other time, one of Wag!’s officers or employees. None of Wag!’s executive officers has served as a director or member of a compensation committee (or other committee serving an equivalent function) of any entity, one of whose executive officers served as a director of the Wag! Board or member of Wag!’s compensation committee.

Code of Ethics

Following the completion of the Business Combination, it is anticipated that the New Wag! Board will adopt a code of business conduct and ethics that will apply to all of our employees, officers and directors, including those officers responsible for financial reporting. The code of business conduct and ethics will be available either on our website at www.wag.co or without charge upon request from us.

Interests shown before the Business Combination consist of (i) public shares and (ii) founder shares, which shares will then convert into shares of common stock in connection with the Closing of the Business Combination prior to pro rata forfeiture of the Forfeited Shares by the Sponsor. 15,000,000 shares of common stock that may be issued as Earnout Shares (as defined herein) are not reflected in the above table.

The post-Business Combination percentage of beneficial ownership is calculated based on 48,852,502 shares of New Wag! common stock outstanding immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination and the PIPE and Backstop Investment.

The composition of such 15% of the Founders Equity (i.e., the number of Founders Shares and the number of Founders Warrants as of the date of the CHW Founders Stock Letter) subject to forfeiture will be determined in the CHW Founder Shareholders’ sole discretion, and (B) 20,000 shares of the Founders Equity, if 300,000 New Wag!

314

Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the Business Combination, the IPO Registration Rights Agreement will be amended and restated, and New Wag! and the Registration Rights Holders will enter into the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, New Wag! will agree that, within 30 calendar days after the consummation of the Business Combination, New Wag! will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC (at New Wag!’s sole cost and expense) the Resale Registration Statement, and New Wag! will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Resale Registration Statement declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof. In certain circumstances, the CHW Holders can demand up to three underwritten offerings and certain of the Wag Holders can demand up to three underwritten offerings, and all of the Registration Rights Holders can demand up to four block trades within any 12-month period and will be entitled to customary piggyback registration rights.

Other

On January 18, 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.009 per share, to cover certain of CHW’s offering and formation costs in consideration of 2,875,000 ordinary shares, par value $0.0001. In connection with the upsized deal terms, on August 30, 2021, CHW issued an additional 287,500 ordinary shares to the Sponsor, resulting in the Sponsor owning 3,162,500 founder shares. Up to 412,500 founder shares were subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor depending on the extent to which the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in connection with CHW’s IPO. As a result of the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option on September 1, 2021, only 37,500 founder shares were forfeited. The founder shares may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holder.

The Sponsor purchased, pursuant to a written agreement, an aggregate of 4,238,636 private placement warrants for a purchase price of $1.00 per whole warrant in a private placement that occurred concurrently with the closing of the IPO. Each private placement warrant entitles the holder to purchase one ordinary share at $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The private placement warrants (including the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise thereof) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holder until 30 days after the completion of an initial business combination.

CHW currently maintains its executive offices at 2 Manhattanville Road, Suite 403, Purchase, New York 10577. The cost for CHW’s use of this space is included in the $10,000 per month fee CHW pays to an affiliate of the Sponsor for office space and secretarial and administrative services. Upon completion of an initial business combination or CHW’s liquidation, CHW will cease paying these monthly fees.

No compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, will be paid to the Sponsor, officers and directors, or their respective affiliates, for services rendered prior to or in connection with the completion of an initial business combination. However, these individuals will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on CHW’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. CHW’s audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by CHW to the Sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates and will determine which expenses and the amount of expenses that will be reimbursed. There is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on CHW’s behalf.

On January 18, 2021, CHW issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) to the Sponsor, pursuant to which CHW 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) December 31, 2021 and (ii) the completion of the IPO. The Promissory Note will be repaid from the funds deposited into the operating account.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of CHW’s officers and directors may, but

315

are not obligated to, loan CHW funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). If CHW completes an initial business combination, it may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to CHW. In the event that the initial business combination does not close, CHW may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but No proceeds from the Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Except for the foregoing, the terms of the Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to the Working Capital 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 the Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants. As of December 31, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding under the Working Capital Loans. CHW does not expect to seek loans from parties other than the Sponsor, its affiliates or its management team as it does not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in the Trust Account.

In connection with the IPO, CHW entered into a registration and shareholder rights agreement pursuant to which our initial shareholders are entitled to certain registration rights with respect to the founder shares, the private placement warrants, the warrants issuable upon conversion of working capital loans (if any) and the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the foregoing, as long as the initial shareholders hold any securities covered by the registration and shareholder rights agreement. CHW will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Certain Engagements in Connection with the Transaction and Related Transactions

In addition to the interests of CHW’s directors and officers in the Business Combination, shareholders should be aware that Chardan has financial interests that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of our shareholders.

Chardan was an underwriter in CHW’s IPO. In connection with the IPO, CHW issued to the designees of Chardan 62,500 ordinary shares as representative shares with an estimated fair value of $7.362 per share ($460,125 in the aggregate) based upon the price of the Founder Shares issued to the anchor investors. Upon consummation of the Transaction, Chardan is entitled to a deferred underwriting commission of $4,375,000. Chardan agreed to waive (pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and for no further consideration) its rights to the deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account in the event CHW does not complete an initial business combination within 15 months of the closing of the CHW IPO. Accordingly, if the Business Combination or any other initial business combination, is not consummated by that time and CHW is therefore required to be liquidated, Chardan, will not receive any of the deferred underwriting commission and such funds will be returned to CHW’s public stockholders upon its liquidation. If an initial business combination is not consummated by CHW, Chardan would also lose the value of certain shares and other rights it received in the closing of CHW's IPO, as disclosed in CHW’s IPO prospectus

Chardan therefore has an interest in CHW completing a business combination that will result in the payment of the deferred underwriting commission to Chardan as the underwriter of the CHW IPO. In considering the approval of the Business Combination, the CHW shareholders should consider the roles of Chardan in light of the deferred underwriting commission Chardan is entitled to receive if the Business Combination is consummated within 15 months of the closing of CHW's IPO and the other benefits that Chardan would retain upon CHW's consummation of a business combination.

In connection with the Business Combination, CHW also engaged Chardan to act as its lead financial advisor and capital markets advisor; however, no fees were payable to Chardan in such capacity.

Wag! continually evaluates strategic investments, partnership opportunities, and potential acquisition opportunities. If the cost of such opportunities are significant, for example ranging for $10-$50 million, Wag! will evaluate funding the opportunity via its cash on hand or by raising debt or equity financings (which could include short or long term debt, new common or preferred equity issuances or an equity line of credit). There are no assurances that these sources of funding will be available to Wag! or that Wag! will draw upon them to fund its opportunities and growth plan.

Policy for Approval of Related Party Transactions

The audit committee of CHW’s board of directors has adopted a charter providing for the review, approval and/or ratification of “related party transactions,” which are those transactions required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K as promulgated by the SEC, by the audit committee. At its meetings, the audit committee shall be provided with the details of each new, existing, or proposed related party transaction, including the terms of the transaction, any contractual restrictions that CHW has already committed to, the business purpose of the transaction, and the benefits of the transaction to CHW and to the relevant related party. Any member of the committee who has an interest in the related party transaction under review by the committee shall abstain from voting on the approval of the related party transaction, but may, if so requested by the chairman of the committee, participate in some or all of the committee’s discussions of the related party transaction. Upon completion of its review of the related party transaction, the committee may determine to permit or to prohibit the related party transaction.

DESCRIPTION OF NEW WAG! SECURITIES

The following summary of certain provisions of New Wag!’s capital stock does not purport to be complete and is subject to the Proposed Charter, the Proposed Bylaws, and the provisions of applicable law. Copies of the Proposed Charter and the Proposed Bylaws are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B and Annex C, respectively.

Authorized Capitalization

General

The Proposed Charter will authorize the issuance of 111,000,000 shares of capital stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New Wag!, consisting of:

1,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

The following summary describes all material provisions of our capital stock. We urge you to read the Proposed Charter, the Proposed Bylaws (copies of which are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B and Annex C, respectively).

Common Stock

We expect to have approximately 47,567,500 of common stock outstanding immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination, assuming that none of CHW’s outstanding ordinary shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination. We anticipated that, upon completion of the Business Combination, the ownership of New Wag! will be as follows: CHW’s public shareholders are expected to hold 12,500,000 shares of New Wag! common stock, or approximately 26.3% of the outstanding New Wag! common stock; the PIPE and Backstop Investor is expected to hold 500,000 shares of New Wag! common stock, or approximately 1.1% of the outstanding New Wag! common stock; the Sponsor is expected to hold 2,385,000 shares of New Wag! common stock, or approximately 5.0% of the outstanding New Wag! common stock, including the forfeiture of 20,000 shares pursuant to the CHW Founders Stock Letter to be contributed to the issuance of New Wag! Community Shares; the anchor investors are expected to hold 720,000 shares of New Wag! common stock, or approximately 1.5% of the outstanding New Wag! common stock; Chardan is expected to hold 62,500 shares of New Wag! common stock, or approximately 0.1% of the outstanding New Wag! common stock; the Series P Investors are expected to hold 1,100,000 shares of New Wag! common stock, or approximately 2.3% of the outstanding New Wag! common stock; the continuing Wag! stockholders are expected to hold 30,000,000 shares of New Wag! common stock, or approximately 63.1% of the outstanding New Wag! common stock; and members of our pet wellness and welfare community are expected to hold 300,000 New Wag!

317

We expect to have approximately 41,317,500 of common stock outstanding immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination, assuming the 50% redemptions scenario described in this proxy statement/prospectus. The ownership of New Wag! will be as follows: CHW’s public shareholders are expected to hold 6,250,000 shares of New Wag! common stock, or approximately 15.1% of the outstanding New Wag! common stock; the PIPE and Backstop Investor is expected to hold 500,000 shares of New Wag! common stock, or approximately 1.2% of the outstanding New Wag! common stock; the Sponsor is expected to hold 2,385,000 shares of New Wag! common stock, or approximately 5.8% of the outstanding New Wag! common stock, including the forfeiture of 20,000 shares pursuant to the CHW Founders Stock Letter to be contributed to the issuance of New Wag!

Community Shares or approximately 0.7% of the outstanding New Wag! common stock issued to members of the pet wellness and welfare community as identified by our officers and directors. This excludes (i) the Earn out and (ii) common stock underlying the public warrants and the private placement warrants.

We expect to have approximately 35,054,173 shares of common stock outstanding immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination, assuming the maximum redemptions scenario described in this proxy statement/prospectus. The ownership of New Wag! will be as follows: CHW’s public shareholders are expected to hold no shares of New Wag! common stock ; the PIPE and Backstop Investor is expected to hold 500,000 shares of New Wag! common stock, or approximately 1.4% of the outstanding New Wag! common stock; the Sponsor is expected to hold 2,371,673 shares of New Wag! common stock, or approximately 6.8% of the outstanding New Wag! common stock, including the forfeiture of 20,000 shares pursuant to the CHW Founders Stock Letter to be contributed to the issuance of New Wag! Community Shares; the anchor investors are expected to hold 720,000 shares of NewWag! common stock, or approximately 2.0% of the outstanding NewWag! common stock; Chardan is expected to hold 62,500 shares of NewWag! common stock, or approximately 0.2% of the outstanding NewWag! common stock; the Series P Investors are expected to hold 1,100,000 shares of New Wag! common stock, or approximately 3.1% of the outstanding New Wag! common stock; and the continuing Wag! stockholders are expected to hold 30,000,000 shares of New Wag! common stock, or approximately 85.6% of the outstanding New Wag! common stock; and members of our pet wellness and welfare community are expected to hold 300,000 New Wag! Community Shares or approximately 0.9% of the outstanding New Wag! common stock. This excludes (i) the Earnout and (ii) common stock underlying the public warrants and the private placement warrants.

Voting rights.   Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held of record by such holder on all matters on which stockholders generally are entitled to vote.

Dividend Rights.   Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding preferred stock, the holders of shares of common stock will be entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time on common stock having dividend rights by our board of directors out of funds legally available therefor.

Transferability.   The holders of common stock of New Wag! who received their common stock (i) through the exchange of shares in connection with the Business Combination, or (ii) as compensation to directors, officers and employees of the Company through means of restricted stock units, stock options or other equity awards outstanding as of immediately following the closing of the Business Combination or otherwise issued or issuable in connection with the Business Combination, may not Transfer any such shares until the end of the applicable lock-up period; provided, that any such holders that have entered into a separate lock-up agreement in connection with the Business Combination shall not be subject to these restrictions.

Rights upon liquidation.   In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company’s affairs, the holders of common stock will be entitled to share ratably in all

318

assets remaining after payment of New Wag!’s debts and other liabilities, subject to pari passu and prior distribution rights of preferred stock or any class or series of stock having a preference over the common stock, then outstanding, if any.

Other rights.   The holders of common stock will have no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. There will be no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of the common stock will be subject to those of the holders of any shares of the preferred stock the Company may issue in the future.

Preferred Stock

No shares of preferred stock will be issued or outstanding immediately after the completion of the Business Combination. The Existing Organizational Documents provide, and the Proposed Charter will provide that shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The board of directors is authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers and preferences, the relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series of preferred stock. The board of directors is able to, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the common stock and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of the board of directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of New Wag! (or, after the closing, New Wag!) or the removal of existing management. At present, we have no plans to issue any preferred stock.

Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock

Delaware law does not require stockholder approval for any issuance of authorized shares. However, the listing requirements of Nasdaq, which will apply so long as the shares of common stock remain listed on Nasdaq, require stockholder approval of certain issuances of common stock (including any securities convertible into common stock) equal to or exceeding 20% of the then outstanding voting power or the then outstanding number of shares of common stock. These additional shares may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings, to raise additional capital or to facilitate acquisitions.

One of the effects of the existence of unissued and unreserved common stock or preferred stock may be to enable our board of directors to issue shares to persons friendly to current management, which issuance could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of our company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of our management and possibly deprive the stockholders of opportunities to sell their shares of common stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices.

Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law

Special Meetings of Stockholders.   The Proposed Organizational Documents will provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called only by a majority vote of New Wag!’s board of directors, by the Chairman of the board of directors, or by the chief executive officer.

Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations.   The Proposed Bylaws will provide that stockholders seeking to bring business before an annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates for election as directors at an annual meeting of stockholders, must provide timely notice of their intent in writing. To be considered timely, a stockholder’s notice will need to be received by the company secretary at the principal executive offices not later than the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier than the open of business on the 120th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting. Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, proposals seeking inclusion in New Wag!’s annual proxy statement must comply with the notice periods contained therein. The Proposed Bylaws will specify certain requirements as to the form and content of a stockholders’ meeting. These provisions may preclude stockholders from bringing matters before an annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at an annual meeting of stockholders.

Authorized but Unissued Shares.   New Wag!’s authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock will be available for future issuances without stockholder approval and could be utilized for

319

a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved shares of common stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of New Wag! by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

Choice of Forum.   The Proposed Charter will provide that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if and only if, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks subject matter jurisdiction, any state court located within the State of Delaware or, if and only if, all such state courts lack subject matter jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) and any appellate court therefrom shall be the sole and exclusive forum for the following claims or causes of action brought under Delaware statutory or common law: (1) any derivative claim or action brought on New Wag!’s behalf; (2) any claim or cause of action asserting a breach of fiduciary duty by any of New Wag!’s current or former director, officer or other employee; (3) any claim or cause of action asserting a claim against New Wag! arising out of, or pursuant to, the DGCL, the Proposed Charter or the amended and restated bylaws; (4) any claim or cause of action seeking to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the Proposed Charter or the amended and restated bylaws (including any right, obligation, or remedy thereunder); (5) any claim or cause of action as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; or (6) any claim or cause of action asserting a claim against New Wag! or any of its directors, officers or other employees, that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in all cases to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the court having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants. The aforementioned provision will not apply to claims or causes of action brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. However, as Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act, and an investor cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such a provision. To prevent having to litigate claims in multiple jurisdictions and the threat of inconsistent or contrary rulings by different courts, among other considerations, the Proposed Charter provides that the U.S. federal district courts will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause or causes of action arising under the Securities Act, including all causes of action asserted against any defendant to such complaint.

While the Delaware courts have determined that such choice of forum provisions are facially valid, a stockholder may nevertheless seek to bring a claim in a venue other than those designated in the exclusive forum provisions. In such instance, New Wag! would expect to vigorously assert the validity and enforceability of the exclusive forum provisions of the Proposed Charter. This may require significant additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions and there can be No assurance that the provisions will be enforced by a court in those other jurisdictions.

These exclusive forum provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with New Wag! or its directors, officers, or other employees, which may discourage lawsuits against New Wag! or its directors, officers and other employees. If a court were to find either exclusive-forum provision in the Proposed Charter to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, New Wag! may incur further significant additional costs associated with resolving the dispute in other jurisdictions, all of which could seriously harm New Wag!’s business.

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.   New Wag! will be subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, which prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, with the following exceptions:

•

before such date, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

•

upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction began, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned (i) by persons who are directors and also officers and (ii) employee stock plans in

320

which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

•

on or after such date, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 662∕3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

In general, Section 203 of the DGCL fines a “business combination” to include the following:

•

any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;

•

any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation involving the interested stockholder;

•

subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder;

•

any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock or any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; and

•

the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits by or through the corporation.

In general, Section 203 of the DGCL defines an “interested stockholder” as an entity or person who, together with the person’s affiliates and associates, beneficially owns, or within three years prior to the time of determination of interested stockholder status did own, 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation.

The statute could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire New Wag! even though such a transaction may offer its stockholders the opportunity to sell their stock at a price above the prevailing market price.

A Delaware corporation may “opt out” of these provisions with an express provision in its certificate of incorporation. New Wag! will not opt out of these provisions, which may as a result, discourage or prevent mergers or other takeover or change of control attempts of it.

Action by Written Consent. The Proposed Charter and Proposed Bylaws will provide that, subject to the rights of any series of New Wag!’s preferred stock, no action will be taken by any holders of shares of New Wag! common stock, except at an annual or special meeting of stockholders called in accordance with the bylaws, and no action will be taken by the stockholders by written consent. Permitting stockholder action by written consent would circumvent the usual process of allowing deliberation at a meeting of stockholders, could be contrary to principles of openness and good governance, and have the potential to inappropriately disenfranchise stockholders, potentially permitting a small group of short-term, special interest or self-interested stockholders, who together hold a threshold amount of shares, to take important actions without the involvement of, and with little or no advance notice to stockholders. Allowing stockholder action by written consent would also deny all stockholders the right to receive accurate and complete information on a proposal in advance and to present their opinions and consider presentation of the opinions of New Wag!’s board of directors and other stockholders on a proposal before voting on a proposed action. The Wag! board of directors believes that a meeting of stockholders, which provides all stockholders an opportunity to deliberate about a proposed action and vote their shares, is the most appropriate forum for stockholder action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, elimination of such stockholder written consents may lengthen the amount of time required to take stockholder actions since actions by written consent are generally not subject to the minimum notice requirement of a stockholders’ meeting.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

The Proposed Charter contains provisions that limit the liability of New Wag!’s current and former directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Delaware law provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as directors, except liability for:

321

•

any breach of his duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;

•

acts or omissions not in good faith, or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

•

unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions; and

•

any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

These provisions may be held not to be enforceable for violations of the federal securities laws of the United States.

Stockholder Registration Rights

Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, New Wag! agrees that, within 30 calendar days after the consummation of the Business Combination, it will file with the SEC a registration statement registering the resale of certain securities held by or issuable to the other parties thereto (the “Resale Registration Statement”), and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such Resale Registration Statement declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, Holders have been granted certain, customary registration rights. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Wag! Related Person Transactions — Registration Rights Agreement.” The PIPE and Backstop Investor has also been granted certain, customary registration rights pursuant to the PIPE and Backstop Subscription Agreement.

Warrants

Public Shareholders’ Warrants.   Each whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing on the later of one year from the closing of the IPO and 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination, except as discussed in the immediately succeeding paragraph. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of ordinary shares. This means only a whole warrant may be exercised at a given time by a warrant holder. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. The warrants will expire five years after the completion of our initial business combination, at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

We will not be obligated to deliver any 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 ordinary shares underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to our satisfying our obligations described below with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available. No warrant will be exercisable and we will not be obligated to issue an ordinary share upon exercise of a warrant unless the ordinary share issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will we be required to net cash settle any warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the ordinary share underlying such unit.

We have agreed that as promptly as practicable, we will use our commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, and we will use our commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days following the closing of our initial business combination, and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement and a current prospectus relating to those ordinary shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement; provided that if our ordinary shares are at the time of any exercise of a public 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, we may, at our option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a

322

“cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event we so elect, we will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, but we will use our commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify for sale the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. If a registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th day after the closing of the initial business combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when we 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, but we will use our commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of ordinary shares equal to the lesser of (A) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of ordinary shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (defined below) over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value and (B) 0.361 per warrant. The “fair market value” as used in this paragraph shall mean the volume weighted average price of the ordinary shares for the 10 trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received by the warrant agent.

Redemption of warrants when the price per ordinary share equals or exceeds $16.50

Once the warrants become exercisable, we may redeem the outstanding warrants (except as described herein with respect to the private placement warrants):

•

in whole and not in part;

•

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

•

upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and

•

if, and only if, the closing price of the ordinary shares equals or exceeds $16.50 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant as described under the heading “— Warrants — Public Shareholders’ Warrants — Anti-Dilution Adjustments”) for any twenty (20) trading days within a thirty (30)-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which we send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

We will not redeem the warrants as described above unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those ordinary shares is available throughout the 30-day redemption period. If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise our redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

If we call the warrants for redemption as described above, our management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.” In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis,” our management will consider, among other factors, our cash position, the number of warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on our shareholders of issuing the maximum number of ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of our warrants. In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of ordinary shares equal to the lesser of (A) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of ordinary shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” of our ordinary shares over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value.

We have established the last of the redemption criteria discussed above to prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and we issue a notice of redemption of the warrants, each warrant holder will be entitled to exercise his, her or its warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. Any such exercise would not be done on a “cashless” basis and would require the exercising warrant holder to pay the exercise price for each warrant being exercised. However, the price of the ordinary shares may fall below the $16.50 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise

323

price of a warrant as described under the heading “— Warrants — Public Shareholders’ Warrants — Anti-Dilution Adjustments”) as well as the $11.50 (for whole shares) warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.

No fractional ordinary shares will be issued upon exercise. If, upon exercise, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will round down to the nearest whole number of the number of ordinary shares to be issued to the holder. If, at the time of redemption, the warrants are exercisable for a security other than the ordinary shares pursuant to the warrant agreement (for instance, if we are not the surviving company in our initial business combination), the warrants may be exercised for such security. At such time as the warrants become exercisable for a security other than the ordinary shares, the Company (or surviving company) will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register under the Securities Act the security issuable upon the exercise of the warrants.

Redemption Procedures

A holder of a warrant may notify us in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person’s affiliates), to the warrant agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 9.8% (or such other amount as a holder may specify) of the ordinary shares issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

Warrant Proceeds

Following the Acquisition Closing, in the event that New Wag! conducts a tender offer or other redemption, termination or cancellation of the assumed CHW warrants, each of (x) the CHW Founder Shareholders, collectively, and (y) certain members of New Wag!’s management, collectively, shall be entitled to receive five percent (5%) of any cash proceeds actually received by New Wag! as a result of the exercise of any such assumed CHW warrants in connection with such redemption.

Anti-Dilution Adjustments

If the number of outstanding ordinary shares is increased by a capitalization or share dividend payable in ordinary shares, or by a split-up of ordinary shares or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such capitalization or share dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of ordinary shares issuable on exercise of each warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding ordinary shares. A rights offering made to all or substantially all holders of ordinary shares entitling holders to purchase ordinary shares at a price less than the “historical fair market value” ​(as defined below) will be deemed a share dividend of a number of ordinary shares equal to the product of (i) the number of ordinary shares actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for ordinary shares) and (ii) one minus the quotient of (x) the price per ordinary share paid in such rights offering and (y) the historical fair market value. For these purposes, (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for ordinary shares, in determining the price payable for ordinary shares, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) “historical fair market value” means the volume weighted average price of ordinary shares as reported during the 10 trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the ordinary shares trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.

In addition, if we, at any time while the warrants are outstanding and unexpired, pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to all or substantially all of the holders of the ordinary shares on account of such ordinary shares (or other securities into which the warrants are convertible), other than (a) as described above, (b) any cash dividends or cash distributions which, when combined on a per share basis with all other cash dividends and cash distributions paid on the ordinary shares during the 365-day period ending on the date of declaration of such dividend or distribution does not exceed $0.50 (as adjusted to appropriately reflect any other adjustments and excluding cash dividends or cash distributions that resulted in an adjustment to the exercise price or to the number of ordinary shares issuable on exercise of each warrant) but only with respect to the amount of the aggregate cash dividends or cash distributions equal to or less than $0.50 per share, (c) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of ordinary shares in

324

connection with a proposed initial business combination, (d) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of ordinary shares in connection with a shareholder vote to amend our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide holders of our ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 15 months from the closing of the IPO or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of our ordinary shares, or (e) in connection with the redemption of our public shares upon our failure to complete our initial business combination, then the warrant exercise price will be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such event, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of any securities or other assets paid on each ordinary share in respect of such event.

If the number of outstanding ordinary shares is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse share sub-division or reclassification of ordinary shares or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse share subdivision, reclassification or similar event, the number of ordinary shares issuable on exercise of each warrant will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding ordinary shares.

Whenever the number of ordinary shares purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants is adjusted, as described above, the warrant exercise price will be adjusted by multiplying the warrant exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which will be the number of ordinary shares purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants immediately prior to such adjustment and (y) the denominator of which will be the number of ordinary shares so purchasable immediately thereafter.

In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding ordinary shares (other than those described above or that solely affects the par value of such ordinary shares), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of us with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which we are the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of our outstanding ordinary shares), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of us as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which we are dissolved, the holders of the warrants will thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the warrants and in lieu of the ordinary shares immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of ordinary shares or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the warrants would have received if such holder had exercised their warrants immediately prior to such event. However, if such holders were entitled to exercise a right of election as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other assets receivable upon such consolidation or merger, then the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets for which each warrant will become exercisable will be deemed to be the weighted average of the kind and amount received per share by such holders in such consolidation or merger that affirmatively make such election, and if a tender, exchange or redemption offer has been made to and accepted by such holders (other than a tender, exchange or redemption offer made by the company in connection with redemption rights held by shareholders of the company as provided for in our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association or as a result of the redemption of ordinary shares by the company if a proposed initial business combination is presented to the shareholders of the company for approval) under circumstances in which, upon completion of such tender or exchange offer, the maker thereof, together with members of any group (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act) of which such maker is a part, and together with any affiliate or associate of such maker (within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) and any members of any such group of which any such affiliate or associate is a part, own beneficially (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) more than 50% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares, the holder of a warrant will be entitled to receive the highest amount of cash, securities or other property to which such holder would actually have been entitled as a shareholder if such warrant holder had exercised the warrant prior to the expiration of such tender or exchange offer, accepted such offer and all of the ordinary shares held by such holder had been purchased pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, subject to adjustment (from and after the consummation of such tender or exchange offer) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in the warrant agreement. If less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of ordinary shares in such a transaction is payable in the form of ordinary shares in the successor entity that is

325

listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the registered holder of the warrant properly exercises the warrant within thirty days following public disclosure of such transaction, the warrant exercise price will be reduced as specified in the warrant agreement based on the Black-Scholes value (as defined in the warrant agreement) of the warrant. The purpose of such exercise price reduction is to provide additional value to holders of the warrants when an extraordinary transaction occurs during the exercise period of the warrants pursuant to which the holders of the warrants otherwise do not receive the full potential value of the warrants.

The warrants were issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between VStock Transfer LLC, as warrant agent, and us. The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder for the purpose of (i) curing any ambiguity or correct any mistake, including to conform the provisions of the warrant agreement to the description of the terms of the warrants and the warrant agreement set forth in this prospectus, or defective provision (ii) amending the provisions relating to cash dividends on ordinary shares as contemplated by and in accordance with the warrant agreement or adding or changing any provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the warrant agreement as the parties to the warrant agreement may deem necessary or desirable and that the parties deem to not adversely affect the rights of the registered holders of the warrants, provided that the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then-outstanding public warrants is required to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders. A copy of the warrant agreement, which was filed as an exhibit to the registration statement for the IPO, contains a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the warrants.

The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of ordinary shares and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive ordinary shares. After the issuance of ordinary shares upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by shareholders.

No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. If, upon exercise of the warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of ordinary shares to be issued to the warrant holder.

We have agreed that, subject to applicable law, any action, proceeding or claim against us arising out of or relating in any way to the warrant agreement will be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and we irrevocably submit to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction will be the exclusive forum for any such action, proceeding or claim. This provision applies to claims under the Securities Act but does not apply to claims under the Exchange Act or any claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America are the sole and exclusive forum.

Private Placement Warrants.

Except as described below, the private placement warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the warrants sold as part of the units in the IPO. The private placement warrants (including the common stock issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination (except pursuant to limited exceptions to our officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with the initial purchasers of the private placement warrants) and they will not be redeemable by us so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. The Sponsor, or its permitted transferees, has the option to exercise the private placement warrants on a cashless basis. If the private placement warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the private placement warrants will be redeemable by us in all redemption scenarios and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the units being sold in the IPO. Any amendment to the terms of the private placement warrants or any provision of the warrant agreement with respect to the private placement warrants will require a vote of holders of at least 50% of the number of the then outstanding private placement warrants.

326

If holders of the private placement warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering his, her or its warrants for that number of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “Sponsor fair market value” ​(defined below) over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the Sponsor fair market value. For these purposes, the “Sponsor fair market value” means the average reported closing price of the common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of warrant exercise is sent to the warrant agent. The reason that CHW agreed that these warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor and its permitted transferees is because it was not known at the time of the IPO whether they will be affiliated with us following a business combination. If they remain affiliated with us, their ability to sell our securities in the open market will be significantly limited. We have policies in place that restrict insiders from selling our securities except during specific periods of time. Even during such periods of time when insiders are permitted to sell our securities, an insider cannot trade in our securities if he or she is in possession of material non-public information. Accordingly, unlike public shareholders who could exercise their warrants and sell the common stock received upon such exercise freely in the open market in order to recoup the cost of such exercise, the insiders could be significantly restricted from selling such securities. As a result, we believe that allowing the holders to exercise such warrants on a cashless basis is appropriate.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination by CHW, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of CHW’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants of New Wag! at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants.

Transfer Agent, Warrant Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for the New Wag! common stock and the warrant agent for the New Wag! public warrants and private placement warrants will be VStock Transfer LLC.

Listing

We intend to list our common stock and our warrants to purchase common stock on Nasdaq under the symbols “PET” and “PETW”, respectively.

SECURITIES ACT RESTRICTIONS ON RESALE OF COMMON STOCK

Rule 144

Pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), a person who has beneficially owned restricted common stock or warrants of New Wag! for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and (ii) we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale and have filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the 12 months (or such shorter period as we were required to file reports) preceding the sale.

Persons who have beneficially owned restricted common stock or warrants of New Wag! for at least six months but who are our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of:

•

1% of the total number of shares of New Wag! common stock then outstanding (as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, CHW has        ordinary shares outstanding); or

•

the average weekly reported trading volume of New Wag! common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

Sales by our affiliates under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.

Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies

Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination-related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company. However, Rule 144 also includes an important exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met:

•

the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;

•

the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

•

the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and

•

at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

As a result, our initial shareholders will be able to sell their founder shares and private placement warrants, as applicable, pursuant to Rule 144 without registration one year after we have completed the Business Combination.

We anticipate that following the consummation of the Business Combination, we will no longer be a shell company, and so, once the conditions set forth in the exceptions listed above are satisfied, Rule 144 will become available for the resale of the above noted restricted securities.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
CHW Acquisition Corporation

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of CHW Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021, the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the period from January 12, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from January 12, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Explanatory Paragraph — Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company’s business plan is dependent on the completion of a business combination and the Company’s cash and working capital as of December 31, 2021 are not sufficient to complete its planned activities. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

CHW ACQUISTION CORP

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2021

Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations and Liquidity

CHW Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”, “CHW”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on January 12, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar Business Combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).

The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region 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 December 31, 2021, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity from January 12, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation and initial public offering (“IPO”), which is described below, and, since the offering, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income earned on investments from the proceeds derived from the IPO. The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on August 30, 2021. On September 1, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 11,000,000 units (the “Units”) with respect to the ordinary shares (the “Ordinary Shares”) included in the units being offered (the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per Unit generating gross proceeds of $110,000,000, which is discussed in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 4,000,000 warrants (“Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, CHW Acquisition Sponsor, LLC and underwriters generating gross proceeds of $4,000,000, which is described in Note 4.

On August 30, 2021, the underwriters notified the Company of their intention to partially exercise their over-allotment option and partially exercised 1,500,000 Units and the remaining Units went un-exercised on expiry of 45 days. Accordingly, on September 1, 2021, the Company consummated the sale of an additional 1,500,000 Units to the public, at $10.00 per Unit, and the sale of an additional 238,636 Private Placement Warrants, at $1.00 per Private Placement Warrants, generating total gross proceeds of $15,238,636.

Offering costs for the IPO and underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option amounted to $13,130,743, consisting of $2,187,500 of underwriting fees, $4,375,000 of deferred underwriting fees payable (which are held in the Trust Account (defined below)), $5,975,625 for the fair value of shares issued to the anchor investors and representative shares (see Note 3 and Note 6) and $592,618 of other costs. As described in Note 6, the $4,375,000 of deferred underwriting fee payable is contingent upon the consummation of a Business Combination by December 1, 2022, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Following the closing of the IPO on September 1, 2021, an amount of $125,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and will be invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 180 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of 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 Trust Account, 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. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company

F-7

must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target 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 outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder 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. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.00 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest then in the Trust Account, net of taxes payable). There will be no redemption rights with respect to the Company’s warrants.

All of the Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”). In accordance with the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and its guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of a company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Given that the Public Shares will be issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., public warrants), the initial carrying value of the Public Shares classified as temporary equity will be the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. The Public Shares are subject to ASC 480-10-S99. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either (i) accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or (ii) recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company has elected to recognize the changes immediately. The accretion or remeasurement will be treated as a deemed dividend (i.e., a reduction to retained earnings, or in absence of retained earnings, additional paid-in capital). While redemptions cannot cause the Company’s net tangible assets to fall below $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon consummation of the Business Combination, the Public Shares are redeemable and will be classified as such on the balance sheet until such date that a redemption event takes place.

Redemptions of the Company’s Public Shares may be subject to the satisfaction of conditions, including minimum cash conditions, pursuant to an agreement relating to the Company’s Business Combination. If the Company seeks shareholder approval of the Business Combination, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination, or such other vote as required by law or share exchange rule. If a shareholder vote is not required by applicable law or share exchange listing requirements and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Certificate of Incorporation, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the transaction is required by applicable law or share exchange listing requirements, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or other reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. 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 Stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction.

F-8

Subsequent to the consummation of the IPO, the Company will adopt an insider trading policy which will require insiders to: (i) refrain from purchasing shares during certain blackout periods and when they are in possession of any material non-public information and (ii) to clear all trades with the Company’s legal counsel prior to execution. In addition, the initial shareholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Certificate of Incorporation provides that a Public Stockholder, 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% or more of the Ordinary shares sold in the IPO, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Company’s Sponsor, officers and directors (the “Initial Shareholders”) have agreed not to propose an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination, unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares of Ordinary shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by December 1, 2022, 15 months from the closing of the IPO (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 the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay the Company’s franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The Initial Shareholders have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Initial Shareholders should acquire Public Shares in or after the IPO, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to its 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 residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.00 per shares held in the Trust Account. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a vendor 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. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or 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”). Moreover, 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 (except the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business execute agreements waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Risks and Uncertainties

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic which continues to spread throughout the United States and the world. As of the date the financial statements were issued, there was considerable uncertainty around the expected duration of this pandemic. Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Company has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that COVID-19 could have a negative effect on closing a Business Combination, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $687,581 in its operating bank accounts, $125,002,997 in securities held in the Trust Account to be used for a Business Combination or to repurchase or redeem its Ordinary Shares in connection therewith and working capital of $459,528. As of December 31, 2021, approximately $3,000 of the amount on deposit in the Trust Account represented interest income.

Until the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination. 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 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 for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance date of the financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

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

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an emerging growth company as defined in Section 102 (b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), which 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 an emerging growth 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 an 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

F-10

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 that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that 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 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. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. 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. Actual results could differ 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, 2021.

Investments Held in Trust Account

At December 31, 2021, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in U.S. Treasury securities. The Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments held in Trust Account are included in interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account in the accompanying statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in Trust Account are determined using available market information.

Offering Costs associated with the Initial Public Offering

Offering costs, including additional underwriting fees associated with the underwriters’ exercise of the over-allotment option, consist principally of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs directly related to the IPO. Offering costs for the IPO and underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option amounted to $13,130,743, consisting of $2,187,500 of underwriting fees, $4,375,000 of deferred underwriting fees payable, $5,975,625 for the fair value of shares issued to the anchor investors and representative shares and $592,618 of other costs.

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. At December 31, 2021, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the (“FASB”) ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

F-11

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities were deemed to be de minimis as of December 31, 2021.

FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2021. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company is not currently aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals, or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. There is currently no taxation imposed by the Government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

The Company has 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. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s financial statements.

Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption, if any, are classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares that features 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 Public Shares features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at December 31, 2021, 12,500,000 shares of Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheet.

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 and accumulated deficit.

At December 31, 2021, the redeemable ordinary share subject to possible redemption reflected in the balance sheet is reconciled in the following table:

Gross proceeds	$	125,000,000
Less:	​	​
Proceeds allocated to Public Warrants at issuance	​	(16,548,464)
Redeemable ordinary share issuance costs	​	(6,647,710)
Plus: Accretion of carrying value to redemption value	​	23,196,174
Redeemable ordinary shares subject to possible redemption	$	125,000,000

F-12

Net Loss per Ordinary Share

The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Redeemable Ordinary Shares (the “Ordinary Shares”) and Non-Redeemable Ordinary Shares (the “Founder Shares”). Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Public and private warrants to purchase 16,738,636 Ordinary Shares at $11.50 per share were issued on September 1, 2021. At December 31, 2021, no warrants have been exercised. The 16,738,636 potential Ordinary shares for outstanding warrants to purchase the Company’s stock were excluded from diluted earnings per share for the period ended December 31, 2021 because the warrants are contingently exercisable, and the contingencies have not yet been met. As a result, diluted net income/(loss) per common share is the same as basic net income/(loss) per common share for the period. The table below presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net loss per share for each class of ordinary share.

Accounting for Warrants

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the instruments’ specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the instruments are free standing financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the instruments meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the instruments are indexed to the Company’s own common shares and whether the instrument holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, was conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent period end date while the instruments are outstanding. Management has concluded that the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants issued pursuant to the warrant agreement qualify for equity accounting treatment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 effective January 12, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement.

The Company’s management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statement

Note 3 — Initial Public Offering and Over-Allotment

Pursuant to the IPO, the Company sold 11,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per Unit for aggregate purchase price of $110,000,000. Each Unit consists of one Ordinary shares (such shares of Ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), and one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”). Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Ordinary shares at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7).

Thirteen qualified institutional buyers or institutional accredited investors which are not affiliated with the Company, the Sponsor, the Company’s directors, or any member of the Company’s management (the “anchor investors”), have each purchased units in the IPO at varying amounts not exceeding 9.9% of the units subject to the IPO. Upon each anchor investor purchasing the full amount of Units it had expressed an interest in, the anchor investors collectively own approximately 11% of the outstanding shares following the IPO, which includes the Founder Shares purchased by the anchor investors, and the Sponsor owns approximately 19% of the outstanding shares following the IPO (see Note 5).

On August 30, 2021, the underwriters notified the Company of their intention to partially exercise their over-allotment option and partially exercised 1,500,000 Units and the remaining Units went un-exercised on expiry of 45 days. Accordingly, on September 1, 2021, the Company consummated the sale of an additional 1,500,000 Units to the public, at $10.00 per Unit for an aggregate purchase price of $15,000,000.

Note 4 — Private Placement Warrants

Concurrently with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor and underwriter purchased an aggregate of 4,000,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant for an aggregate purchase price of $4,000,000. Each whole Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one whole share of Ordinary shares at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7). The proceeds from the Private Placement Warrants at the IPO are held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

On August 30, 2021, the underwriters notified the Company of their intention to partially exercise their over-allotment option and partially exercised 1,500,000 Units and the remaining Units went un-exercised on expiry of 45 days. On September 1, 2021, the Company consummated the sale of an additional 238,636 Private Placement Warrants, at $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant for an aggregate purchase price of $238,636.

Note 5 — Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On January 18, 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000 in exchange for 2,875,000 ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”). On August 30, 2021, the Company effectuated a 1.1-for-1 share split, resulting in an aggregate of 3,162,500 Founder Shares outstanding. The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 412,500 ordinary shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriters’ overallotment is not exercised in full or in part, so that the Sponsor will own, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the IPO.

On August 30, 2021, the underwriters notified the Company of their intention to partially exercise their over-allotment option and partially exercised 1,500,000 Units and the remaining Units went un-exercised on expiry of 45 days. As such, on September 1, 2021, the Sponsor forfeited 37,500 ordinary shares for no consideration.

The Sponsor has agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earliest of: (A) six months after the completion of a Business Combination and (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the closing price of the shares of Ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted) 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 Stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property.

F-14

In conjunction with each anchor investor purchasing 100% of the Units allocated to it, in connection with the closing of the IPO the Sponsor sold 60,000 Founder Shares (or 30,000 Founder Shares, as applicable) to each anchor investor (750,000 founder shares in the aggregate) at their original purchase price totalling to $6,750; provided, however, that in the event that an anchor investor sells any of Units or Ordinary Shares purchased in the IPO within 30 days following the closing of the IPO, the number of Founder Shares transferred to such anchor investor would be reduced to 50,000 Founder Shares (or 25,000 Founder Shares, as applicable). The Company estimated the excess aggregate fair value over the amount paid by the anchor investors of the Founder Shares attributable to the Anchor Investors to be $5,515,500, or $7.362 per share. The excess of the fair value of the Founder Shares over the purchase price of $6,750 was determined to be a contribution to the Company from the founders in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB)Topic 5T and an offering cost in accordance with SAB Topic 5A. Accordingly, the offering cost were recorded against additional paid in capital in accordance with the accounting of other offering costs. Please see Note 9 for valuation methodology and assumptions of the Founder Shares.

Promissory Note — Related Party

On January 18, 2021, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. As of December 31, 2021, there was no amount outstanding under the Promissory Note.

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 may repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans may 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 $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

Due from related party

As of December 31, 2021, the Sponsor held $68,591 from the closing of the IPO that will be deposited as soon as practical from the Company’s operating account.

Administrative Services Fee

The Company entered into an agreement, commencing on the effective date of the IPO through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation, to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, secretarial and administrative services. As of December 31, 2021, $40,000 has been paid under this arrangement.

Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies

Registration Rights

The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans, if any, are entitled to registration rights (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion of such shares to shares of Ordinary shares) pursuant to a registration rights agreement dated September 1, 2021. These holders are entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration

F-15

statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until the termination of the applicable lock-up period for the securities to be registered. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the final prospectus relating to the IPO to purchase up to 1,650,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the IPO price less the underwriting discounts and commissions.

On August 30, 2021, the underwriters notified the Company of their intention to partially exercise their over-allotment option and partially exercised 1,500,000 Units and the remaining Units went un-exercised on expiry of 45 days. Accordingly, on September 1, 2021, the Company consummated the sale of an additional 1,500,000 Units to the public, at $10.00 per Unit for an aggregate purchase price of $15,000,000.

The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of $0.175 per unit, or $2,187,500 in the aggregate at the closing of the IPO (which includes amounts related to the partial exercise of the over-allotment option). In addition, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting commissions of $0.35 per unit, or $4,375,000 in the aggregate from the closing of the IPO ((which includes amounts related to the partial exercise of the over-allotment option). 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.

Representative Shares

In September 2021, the Company issued to the designees of the underwriter 62,500 ordinary shares (the “Representative Shares”). The Company accounted for the Representative Shares as an offering cost of the IPO, with a corresponding credit to shareholders’ equity. The Company estimated the fair value of the Representative Shares to be $7.362 per share ($460,125 in the aggregate) based upon the price of the Founder Shares issued to the anchor investors (see Note 5). The holders of the Representative Shares have agreed not to transfer, assign, or sell any such shares until the completion of a Business Combination. In addition, the holders have agreed (i) to waive their conversion rights (or right to participate in any tender offer) with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

Please see Note 9 for valuation methodology and assumptions of the Representative Shares.

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 December 31, 2021, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.

Ordinary shares — The Company is authorized to issue 110,000,000 shares of Founder Shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of December 31, 2021, there were 3,187,500 shares of Ordinary shares outstanding (excluding 12,500,000 shares subject to redemption) and after giving affect to the forfeiture of 37,500 Ordinary shares since the underwriters’ did not exercise of the over-allotment option.

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) the completion of a Business Combination and (b) 12 months from the closing of the IPO. The Public Warrants will expire five years from the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

F-16

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any 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 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. No warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder, or an exemption is available.

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days, after the closing of a Business Combination, it will use its best efforts to file, and within 60 business days following a Business Combination to have declared effective, a registration statement covering the offer and sale of the 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. No warrants will be exercisable for cash unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering the offer and sale of the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to such ordinary shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the offer and sale of the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective within a specified period following the consummation of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, provided that such exemption is available. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis.

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the 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 reported last sale price of the Public Shares equals or exceeds $16.50 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share consolidations, share capitalizations, rights issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may not exercise its redemption right if the issuance of shares upon exercise of the warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or the Company is unable to effect such registration or qualification.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish 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 warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger, or consolidation. However, except as described below, the 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 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 warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of its initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.50 per Public Share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined

F-17

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 the Company’s initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of such initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.50 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the greater of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price and the $16.50 per share redemption trigger price described above will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 165% of the greater of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units being sold in the IPO, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable, or saleable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions.

The Company has determined that warrants issued in connection with its IPO in September 2021 are subject to treatment as equity. In order to account for the fair value the public warrants on IPO, the Company used Black Scholes Model to allocate cost to Public warrants on IPO. The key assumptions in the option pricing model utilized are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The expected volatility as of the IPO Closing Date was derived from observable public warrant pricing on comparable ‘blank check’ companies that recently went public in 2020 and 2021. The risk-free interest rate is based on the interpolated U.S. Constant Maturity Treasury yield. The expected term of the warrants is assumed to be six months until the close of a Business Combination, and the contractual five-year term subsequently. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates to remain at zero.

The following table provides quantitative information regarding fair value measurements at issuance on September 1, 2021.

​	September 1, 2021
Share Price	​	$	10.00
Exercise Price	​	$	11.50
Redemption Trigger Price	​	$	16.50
Term (years)	​	​	5
Probability of Acquisition	​	​	80%
Volatility	​	​	22%
Risk Free Rate	​	​	1.31%
Dividend Yield	​	​	0.00%

The fair value of the Public Warrants as on September 1, 2021, was $1.32. As of December 31, the Company has 12,500,000 of Public Warrants and 4,238,636 of Private Warrants outstanding respectively.

Note 9 — Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

F-18

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.

At December 31, 2021, the assets held in the Trust Account were held in treasury funds. All of the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2021 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

​	Level		Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)			Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Other Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Assets:	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​
Investment held in Trust Account	​	1	​	$	125,002,997	​	—	​	—

The Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation model to value the Founder and Representative Shares at issuance. The estimated fair value of the shares is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Monte Carlo pricing model are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected term and risk-free interest rate. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity in line with the timing of the and likelihood of completing a business combination. The common stock price was assumed to fluctuate with the Company projected volatility based on comparable public companies. The term was simulated based on managements assumptions regarding the timing and likelihood of completing a business combination.

The following table provides quantitative information the founder share valuation.

​	At September 1, 2021
Share Price	​	$	10.00
Estimated Term Remaining	​	​	1.58
Volatility	​	​	14.2%
Risk Free Rate	​	​	0.15%

Note 10 — Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued and determined that there were no subsequent events that would require adjustment or disclosure except for the following.

On February 2, 2022, the Company, CHW Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned direct subsidiary of the Company and Wag Labs, Inc., a Delaware corporation, entered into a Business Combination Agreement.

The Business Combination will be effected in two steps: (i) on the Domestication Closing Date, CHW will domesticate as a Delaware corporation; and (ii) on the Acquisition Closing Date, Merger Sub will merge with and into Wag, with Wag surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Wag.

Concurrently with the Domestication, CHW will adopt and file a certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, pursuant to which CHW will change its name to Wag! Group

F-19

Co. and adopt bylaws. At least one business day, but no more than two business days, after the Domestication, and no later than three business days following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Acquisition Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at such time), the Acquisition Merger will be consummated by the filing of a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

In connection with entering into the Business Combination Agreement, on February 2, 2022, CHW entered into Subscription Agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with qualified institutional buyers (the “PIPE and Backstop Investors”), as modified and supplemented by that certain side letter agreement between CHW and the PIPE and Backstop Investors, dated June 30, 2022, pursuant to which, among other things, the PIPE and Backstop Investors agreed to purchase from CHW, and not in the open market, an aggregate of 500,000 shares of common stock of CHW following the Domestication and immediately prior to the Acquisition Merger at a cash purchase price of $10.00 per share, resulting in aggregate proceeds of $5,000,000 million; (the “PIPE and Backstop Investment”).

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, on February 2, 2022, the Sponsor, Mark Grundman and Jonah Raskas (collectively, the “CHW Founder Shareholders”) entered into that certain letter agreement (the “CHW Founders Stock Letter”) with CHW and Wag!, pursuant to which, among other things, CHW, Wag!, and the CHW Founder Shareholders agreed, with respect to 360,750 Founder Shares (as defined below) (the “Forfeiture Shares”), during the period commencing on the date of the Business Combination Agreement and ending on the earlier of (A) the date that is three years after the Acquisition Closing, (B) the date on which the Forfeiture Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture, (C) subsequent to the Acquisition Closing, the consummation of a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the New Wag! stockholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property, and (D) the valid termination of the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor will not to (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase, or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder with respect to, any Forfeiture Shares, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Forfeiture Shares, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clauses (i) or (ii), subject to certain exceptions.

Wag! has delivered to CHW the Stockholder Support Agreement, dated February 2, 2022 (the “Stockholder Support Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Key Wag! Stockholders, whose ownership interests collectively represent the outstanding Wag! common stock and Wag! preferred stock (voting on an as-converted basis) sufficient to approve the Business Combination on behalf of Wag!, will agree to support the approval and adoption of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, including agreeing to execute and deliver the requisite consent of Wag!’s stockholders holding shares of Wag! common stock and Wag! preferred stock sufficient under the Delaware General Corporation Law and Wag!’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws to approve the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination, in the form of a written consent executed by the Key Wag! Stockholders, within 48 hours of the Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC in connection with the Business Combination becoming effective. The Stockholder Support Agreement will terminate upon the earliest to occur of (a) the Acquisition Merger Effective Time, (b) the date of the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, and (c) the effective date of a written agreement of CHW, Wag!, and the Wag! stockholders party thereto terminating the Stockholder Support Agreement (the “Expiration Time”). The Key Wag! Stockholders also agreed, until the Expiration Time, to certain transfer restrictions (excluding the Conversion).

In connection with entering into the Business Combination Agreement, on February 2, 2022, CHW entered into a definitive commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) with Blue Torch Capital LP (together with its affiliated funds and any other parties providing a commitment thereunder, including any additional lenders, agents, arrangers or other parties joined thereto after the date thereof, collectively, the “Debt

F-20

Financing Sources”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Debt Financing Sources agreed to fund a $30 million senior secured term loan credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The closing and funding of the Credit Facility will occur in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to funding set forth in the Commitment Letter. Upon closing, Wag! will be the primary borrower under the Credit Facility, New Wag! will be a parent guarantor and substantially all of Wag!’s existing and future subsidiaries will be subsidiary guarantors (subject to certain customary exceptions). The Credit Facility will be secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all assets of Wag! and the guarantors (subject to certain customary exceptions).

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations and Liquidity

CHW Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”, “ CHW”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on January 12, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar Business Combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).

The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region 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 March 31, 2022, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity from January 12, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2022, relates to the Company’s formation and initial public offering (“IPO”), which is described below, and, since the offering, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income earned on investments from the proceeds derived from the IPO. The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on August 30, 2021. On September 1, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 11,000,000 units (the “Units”) with respect to the ordinary shares (the “Ordinary Shares”) included in the units being offered (the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per Unit generating gross proceeds of $110,000,000, which is discussed in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 4,000,000 warrants (“Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, CHW Acquisition Sponsor, LLC and underwriters generating gross proceeds of $4,000,000, which is described in Note 4.

On August 30, 2021, the underwriters notified the Company of their intention to partially exercise their over-allotment option and partially exercised 1,500,000 Units and the remaining Units went un-exercised on expiry of 45 days. Accordingly, on September 1, 2021, the Company consummated the sale of an additional 1,500,000 Units to the public, at $10.00 per Unit, and the sale of an additional 238,636 Private Placement Warrants, at $1.00 per Private Placement Warrants, generating total gross proceeds of $15,238,636.

Offering costs for the IPO and underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option amounted to $13,130,743, consisting of $2,187,500 of underwriting fees, $4,375,000 of deferred underwriting fees payable (which are held in the Trust Account (defined below)), $5,975,625 for the fair value of shares issued to the anchor investors and representative shares (see Note 3 and Note 6) and $592,618 of other costs. As described in Note 6, the $4,375,000 of deferred underwriting fee payable is contingent upon the consummation of a Business Combination by December 1, 2022, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Following the closing of the IPO on September 1, 2021, an amount of $125,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and will be invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 180 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of 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 Trust Account, 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. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company

F-26

must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target 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 outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder 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. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.00 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest then in the Trust Account, net of taxes payable). There will be no redemption rights with respect to the Company’s warrants.

All of the Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Memorandum and Articles of Association”). In accordance with the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and its guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of a company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Given that the Public Shares will be issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., public warrants), the initial carrying value of the Public Shares classified as temporary equity will be the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. The Public Shares are subject to ASC 480-10-S99. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either (i) accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or (ii) recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company has elected to recognize the changes immediately. While redemptions cannot cause the Company’s net tangible assets to fall below $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon consummation of the Business Combination, the Public Shares are redeemable and will be classified as such on the unaudited condensed balance sheet until such date that a redemption event takes place.

Redemptions of the Company’s Public Shares may be subject to the satisfaction of conditions, including minimum cash conditions, pursuant to an agreement relating to the Company’s Business Combination. If the Company seeks shareholder approval of the Business Combination, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination, or such other vote as required by law or share exchange rule. If a shareholder vote is not required by applicable law or share exchange listing requirements and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Memorandum and Articles of Association, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the transaction is required by applicable law or share exchange listing requirements, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or other reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. 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 the proposed transaction.

Subsequent to the consummation of the IPO, the Company adopted an insider trading policy which requires insiders to: (i) refrain from purchasing shares during certain blackout periods and when they are in

F-27

possession of any material non-public information and (ii) to clear all trades with the Company’s legal counsel prior to execution. In addition, the initial shareholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that 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% or more of the Ordinary Shares sold in the IPO, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Company’s Sponsor, officers and directors (the “Initial Shareholders”) have agreed not to propose an amendment to the Memorandum and Articles of Association that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination, unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Ordinary Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by December 1, 2022, 15 months from the closing of the IPO (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 the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay the Company’s franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The Initial Shareholders have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Initial Shareholders should acquire Public Shares in or after the IPO, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to its 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 residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.00 per shares held in the Trust Account. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a vendor 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. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or 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”). Moreover, 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 (except the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business execute agreements waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

On February 2, 2022, the Company, CHW Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned direct subsidiary of the Company, and Wag Labs, Inc., a Delaware corporation, entered into a Business Combination Agreement.

F-28

The Business Combination will be effected in two steps: (i) on the Domestication Closing Date, CHW will domesticate as a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication” and following the Domestication, CHW is referred to herein as “New Wag!”); and (ii) Merger Sub will merge with and into Wag!, with Wag! surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Wag! (the “Acquisition Merger”).

Concurrently with the Domestication, CHW will adopt and file a certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, pursuant to which CHW will change its name to Wag! Group Co. and adopt bylaws. At least one business day, but no more than two business days, after the Domestication, and no later than three business days following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the closing of the Acquisition Merger (the “Acquisition Closing”), but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at such time), the Acquisition Merger will be consummated by the filing of a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

In connection with entering into the Business Combination Agreement, on February 2, 2022, CHW entered into Subscription Agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with qualified institutional buyers (the “PIPE and Backstop Investors”), as modified and supplemented by that certain side letter agreement between CHW and the PIPE and Backstop Investor, dated June 30, 2022, pursuant to which, among other things, the PIPE and Backstop Investors agreed to purchase from CHW, and not in the open market, an aggregate of 500,000 shares of common stock of CHW following the Domestication and immediately prior to the Acquisition Merger at a cash purchase price of $10.00 per share, resulting in aggregate proceeds of $5,000,000; (the “PIPE and Backstop Investment”).

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, on February 2, 2022, the Sponsor, Mark Grundman and Jonah Raskas (collectively, the “CHW Founder Shareholders”) entered into that certain letter agreement (the “CHW Founders Stock Letter”) with CHW and Wag!, pursuant to which, among other things, CHW, Wag!, and the CHW Founder Shareholders agreed, with respect to 360,750 Founder Shares (the “Forfeiture Shares”), during the period commencing on the date of the Business Combination Agreement and ending on the earlier of (A) the date that is three years after the Acquisition Closing, (B) the date on which the Forfeiture Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture, (C) subsequent to the Acquisition Closing, the consummation of a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the New Wag! stockholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property, and (D) the valid termination of the Business Combination Agreement, to cause the Sponsor not to (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase, or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder with respect to, any Forfeiture Shares, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Forfeiture Shares, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clauses (i) or (ii), subject to certain exceptions.

Wag! has delivered to CHW the Stockholder Support Agreement, dated February 2, 2022 (the “Stockholder Support Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Wag!’s stockholders holding shares of Wag! common stock and Wag! preferred stock (the “Key Wag! Stockholders”), whose ownership interests collectively represent the outstanding Wag! common stock and Wag! preferred stock (voting on an as-converted basis) sufficient to approve the Business Combination on behalf of Wag!, will agree to support the approval and adoption of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, including agreeing to execute and deliver the requisite consent of Wag!’s stockholders holding shares of Wag! common stock and Wag! preferred stock sufficient under the Delaware General Corporation Law and Wag!’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws to approve the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination, in the form of a written consent executed by the Key Wag! Stockholders, within 48 hours of the Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC in connection with the Business Combination becoming effective. The Stockholder Support Agreement will terminate upon the earliest to occur of (a) the Acquisition Merger Effective Time, (b) the date of the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, and (c) the effective date of a written agreement of CHW, Wag!, and the Wag!

F-29

stockholders party thereto terminating the Stockholder Support Agreement (the “Expiration Time”). The Key Wag! Stockholders also agreed, until the Expiration Time, to certain transfer restrictions (excluding the conversion of Wag! preferred stock into Wag! common stock).

In connection with entering into the Business Combination Agreement, on February 2, 2022, CHW entered into a definitive commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) with Blue Torch Capital LP (together with its affiliated funds and any other parties providing a commitment thereunder, including any additional lenders, agents, arrangers or other parties joined thereto after the date thereof, collectively, the “Debt Financing Sources”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Debt Financing Sources agreed to fund a $30 million senior secured term loan credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The closing and funding of the Credit Facility will occur in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to funding set forth in the Commitment Letter. Upon closing, Wag! will be the primary borrower under the Credit Facility, New Wag! will be a parent guarantor and substantially all of Wag!’s existing and future subsidiaries will be subsidiary guarantors (subject to certain customary exceptions). The Credit Facility will be secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all assets of Wag! and the guarantors (subject to certain customary exceptions). In January 2022, the Company paid $100,000 to Blue Torch Capital LP as an expense deposit in connection with the Credit Facility. Such expense deposit is refundable to the Company less the amount of expenses actually incurred by the Debt Financing Sources.

Risks and Uncertainties

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic which continues to spread throughout the United States and the world. As of the date the financial statements were issued, there was considerable uncertainty around the expected duration of this pandemic. Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Company has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that COVID-19 could have a negative effect on closing a Business Combination, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the financial statements. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. As a result of this action, various nations, including the United States, have instituted economic sanctions against the Russian Federation and Belarus. Further, the impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy are 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.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $335,162 in its operating bank accounts, $125,013,199 in securities held in the Trust Account to be used for a Business Combination or to repurchase or redeem its Ordinary Shares in connection therewith and working capital deficit of $1,650,918. As of March 31, 2022, approximately $10,202 of the amount on deposit in the Trust Account represented interest income.

Until the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination. 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 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

F-30

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 for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance date of the financial statements. 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.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

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

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual report on Form 10-K as filed with SEC on March 9, 2022.The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year end December 31, 2022 or for any future periods.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an emerging growth company as defined in Section 102 (b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), which 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 an emerging growth 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 an 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 that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that 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 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. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Actual results could differ 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 March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021.

F-31

Investments Held in Trust Account

At March 31, 2022, all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in U.S. Treasury securities. The Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the unaudited condensed balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments held in Trust Account are included in interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account in the accompanying unaudited statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in Trust Account are determined using available market information.

Offering Costs associated with the Initial Public Offering

Offering costs, including additional underwriting fees associated with the underwriters’ exercise of the over-allotment option, consist principally of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs directly related to the IPO. Offering costs for the IPO and underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option amounted to $13,130,743, consisting of $2,187,500 of underwriting fees, $4,375,000 of deferred underwriting fees payable, $5,975,625 for the fair value of shares issued to the anchor investors and representative shares and $592,618 of other costs.

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. At March 31, 2022, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the (“FASB”) ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities were deemed to be de minimis as of March 31, 2022.

FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2022. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company is not currently aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals, or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. There is currently no taxation imposed by the Government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

F-32

The Company has 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. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s financial statements.

Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption, if any, are classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares that features 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 Public Shares features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at March 31, 2022, 12,500,000 Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s unaudited condensed balance sheet.

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 and accumulated deficit.

At March 31, 2022, the redeemable ordinary share subject to possible redemption reflected in the unaudited condensed balance sheet is reconciled in the following table:

Gross proceeds	$	125,000,000
Less:	​	​
Proceeds allocated to Public Warrants at issuance	​	(16,548,464)
Redeemable ordinary share issuance costs	​	(6,647,710)
Plus:	​	​
Accretion of carrying value to redemption value	​	23,196,174
Redeemable ordinary shares subject to possible redemption	$	125,000,000

Net Loss per Ordinary Share

The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Redeemable Ordinary Shares (the “Ordinary Shares”) and Non-Redeemable Ordinary Shares (the “Founder Shares”). Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Public and private warrants to purchase 16,738,636 Ordinary Shares at $11.50 per share were issued on September 1, 2021. At March 31, 2022, no warrants have been exercised. The 16,738,636 potential Ordinary shares for outstanding warrants to purchase the Company’s stock were excluded from diluted earnings per share for the period ended March 31, 2022, because the warrants are contingently exercisable, and the contingencies have not yet been met. As a result, diluted net income/(loss) per common share is the same as basic net income/(loss) per common share for the period. The table below presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net loss per share for each class of ordinary share.

Accounting for Warrants

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the instruments’ specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the instruments are free standing financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the instruments meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the instruments are indexed to the Company’s own common shares and whether the instrument holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, was conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent period end date while the instruments are outstanding. Management has concluded that the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants issued pursuant to the warrant agreement qualify for equity accounting treatment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company’s management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statement

Note 3 — Initial Public Offering and Over-Allotment

Pursuant to the IPO, the Company sold 11,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per Unit for aggregate purchase price of $110,000,000. Each Unit consists of one Ordinary Share (such Ordinary Shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), and one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”). Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Ordinary Shares at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 8).

Thirteen qualified institutional buyers or institutional accredited investors which are not affiliated with the Company, the Sponsor, the Company’s directors, or any member of the Company’s management (the “anchor investors”), have each purchased units in the IPO at varying amounts not exceeding 9.9% of the units subject to the IPO. Upon each anchor investor purchasing the full amount of Units it had expressed an interest in, the anchor investors collectively own approximately 11% of the outstanding shares following the IPO, which includes the Founder Shares purchased by the anchor investors, and the Sponsor owns approximately 19% of the outstanding shares following the IPO (see Note 5).

On August 30, 2021, the underwriters notified the Company of their intention to partially exercise their over-allotment option and partially exercised 1,500,000 Units and the remaining Units went un-exercised on expiry of 45 days. Accordingly, on September 1, 2021, the Company consummated the sale of an additional 1,500,000 Units to the public, at $10.00 per Unit for an aggregate purchase price of $15,000,000.

Note 4 — Private Placement Warrants

Concurrently with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor and underwriter purchased an aggregate of 4,000,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant for an aggregate purchase price of $4,000,000. Each whole Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one whole Ordinary

F-34

Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 8). The proceeds from the Private Placement Warrants at the IPO are held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

On August 30, 2021, the underwriters notified the Company of their intention to partially exercise their over-allotment option and partially exercised 1,500,000 Units and the remaining Units went un-exercised on expiry of 45 days. On September 1, 2021, the Company consummated the sale of an additional 238,636 Private Placement Warrants, at $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant for an aggregate purchase price of $238,636.

Note 5 — Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On January 18, 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000 in exchange for 2,875,000 Ordinary Shares (the “Founder Shares”). On August 30, 2021, the Company effectuated a 1.1-for-1 share split, resulting in an aggregate of 3,162,500 Founder Shares outstanding. The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 412,500 Ordinary Shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriters’ overallotment is not exercised in full or in part, so that the Sponsor will own, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the IPO.

On August 30, 2021, the underwriters notified the Company of their intention to partially exercise their over-allotment option and partially exercised 1,500,000 Units and the remaining Units went un-exercised on expiry of 45 days. As such, on September 1, 2021, the Sponsor forfeited 37,500 Ordinary Shares for no consideration.

The Sponsor has agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earliest of: (A) six months after the completion of a Business Combination and (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the closing price of the Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted) 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 shares of Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property.

In conjunction with each anchor investor purchasing 100% of the Units allocated to it, in connection with the closing of the IPO the Sponsor sold 60,000 Founder Shares (or 30,000 Founder Shares, as applicable) to each anchor investor (750,000 founder shares in the aggregate) at their original purchase price totalling to $6,750; provided, however, that in the event that an anchor investor sells any of Units or Ordinary Shares purchased in the IPO within 30 days following the closing of the IPO, the number of Founder Shares transferred to such anchor investor would be reduced to 50,000 Founder Shares (or 25,000 Founder Shares, as applicable). The Company estimated the excess aggregate fair value over the amount paid by the anchor investors of the Founder Shares attributable to the Anchor Investors to be $5,515,500, or $7.362 per share. The excess of the fair value of the Founder Shares over the purchase price of $6,750 was determined to be a contribution to the Company from the founders in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB)Topic 5T and an offering cost in accordance with SAB Topic 5A. Accordingly, the offering cost were recorded against additional paid in capital in accordance with the accounting of other offering costs. See Note 9 for valuation methodology and assumptions of the Founder Shares.

Promissory Note — Related Party

On January 18, 2021, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. As of March 31, 2022, there was no amount outstanding under the Promissory Note.

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,

F-35

loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company may repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans may 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 $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

Due from related party

As of March 31, 2022, the Sponsor held $68,591 from the closing of the IPO that will be deposited as soon as practical from the Company’s operating account.

Administrative Services Fee

The Company entered into an agreement, commencing on the effective date of the IPO through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation, to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, secretarial and administrative services. As of March 31, 2022, and March 31, 2021, $30,000 and $0 respectively have been paid under this arrangement.

Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies

We received two private demand letters from purported shareholders in connection with the proposed de-SPAC transaction between CHW and WAG Labs, Inc. The demand letters seek certain supplemental disclosures and threaten to assert claims under the federal securities laws against CHW and its board of directors if the disclosures are not made. As of this date, no litigation has been filed.

Registration Rights

The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans, if any, are entitled to registration rights (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion of such shares to Ordinary Shares) pursuant to a registration rights agreement dated September 1, 2021. These holders are entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until the termination of the applicable lock-up period for the securities to be registered. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the final prospectus relating to the IPO to purchase up to 1,650,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the IPO price less the underwriting discounts and commissions.

On August 30, 2021, the underwriters notified the Company of their intention to partially exercise their over-allotment option and partially exercised 1,500,000 Units and the remaining Units went un-exercised on expiry of 45 days. Accordingly, on September 1, 2021, the Company consummated the sale of an additional 1,500,000 Units to the public, at $10.00 per Unit for an aggregate purchase price of $15,000,000.

The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of $0.175 per unit, or $2,187,500 in the aggregate at the closing of the IPO (which includes amounts related to the partial exercise of the over-allotment option). In addition, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting commissions of $0.35 per unit, or $4,375,000 in the aggregate from the closing of the IPO ((which includes amounts related to

F-36

the partial exercise of the over-allotment option). 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.

Representative Shares

In September 2021, the Company issued to the designees of the underwriter 62,500 Ordinary Shares (the “Representative Shares”). The Company accounted for the Representative Shares as an offering cost of the IPO, with a corresponding credit to shareholders’ equity. The Company estimated the fair value of the Representative Shares to be $7.362 per share ($460,125 in the aggregate) based upon the price of the Founder Shares issued to the anchor investors (see Note 5). The holders of the Representative Shares have agreed not to transfer, assign, or sell any such shares until the completion of a Business Combination. In addition, the holders have agreed (i) to waive their conversion rights (or right to participate in any tender offer) with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

See Note 9 for valuation methodology and assumptions of the Representative Shares.

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 March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.

Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 110,000,000 shares of Founder Shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of March 31, 2022, there were 3,187,500 Ordinary Shares outstanding (excluding 12,500,000 shares subject to redemption) and after giving affect to the forfeiture of 37,500 Ordinary Shares since the underwriters’ did not exercise the over-allotment option.

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) the completion of a Business Combination and (b) 12 months from the closing of the IPO. The Public Warrants will expire five years from the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any 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 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. No warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder, or an exemption is available.

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days, after the closing of a Business Combination, it will use its best efforts to file, and within 60 business days following a Business Combination to have declared effective, a registration statement covering the offer and sale of the 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. No warrants will be exercisable for cash unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering the offer and sale of the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to such Ordinary Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the offer and sale of the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the

F-37

warrants is not effective within a specified period following the consummation of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, provided that such exemption is available. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis.

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the 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 reported last sale price of the Public Shares equals or exceeds $16.50 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share consolidations, share capitalizations, rights issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may not exercise its redemption right if the issuance of shares upon exercise of the warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or the Company is unable to effect such registration or qualification.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish 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 warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger, or consolidation. However, except as described below, the 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 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 warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional Ordinary Shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of its initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.50 per Public 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 the Company’s initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of such initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s Ordinary Shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.50 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the greater of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price and the $16.50 per share redemption trigger price described above will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 165% of the greater of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units being sold in the IPO, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable, or saleable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions.

F-38

The Company has determined that warrants issued in connection with its IPO in September 2021 are subject to treatment as equity. In order to account for the fair value of the public warrants issued in the IPO, the Company used Black Scholes Model to allocate the proceeds to the Public warrants relating to the IPO. The key assumptions in the option pricing model utilized are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The expected volatility as of the IPO Closing Date was derived from observable public warrant pricing on comparable ‘blank check’ companies that recently went public in 2020 and 2021. The risk-free interest rate is based on the interpolated U.S. Constant Maturity Treasury yield. The expected term of the warrants is assumed to be six months until the close of a Business Combination, and the contractual five-year term subsequently. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates to remain at zero.

The following table provides quantitative information regarding fair value measurements at issuance on September 1, 2021.

​	September 1, 2021
Share Price	​	$	10.00
Exercise Price	​	$	11.50
Redemption Trigger Price	​	$	16.50
Term (years)	​	​	5
Probability of Acquisition	​	​	80%
Volatility	​	​	22%
Risk Free Rate	​	​	1.31%
Dividend Yield	​	​	0.00%

The fair value of the Public Warrants as of September 1, 2021 was $1.32. As of March 31, 2022, the Company has 12,500,000 of Public Warrants and 4,238,636 of Private Warrants outstanding respectively.

Note 9 — Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

Level 1:

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.

At March 31, 2022, the assets held in the Trust Account were held in treasury funds. All of the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2022 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

The Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation model to value the Founder and Representative Shares at issuance. The estimated fair value of the shares is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Monte Carlo pricing model are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected term and risk-free interest rate. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity in line with the timing of the and likelihood of completing a business combination. The Ordinary Share price was assumed to fluctuate with the Company projected volatility based on comparable public companies. The term was simulated based on managements assumptions regarding the timing and likelihood of completing a business combination.

The following table provides quantitative information for the founder share valuation.

​	At September 1, 2021
Share Price	​	$	10.00
Estimated Term Remaining	​	​	1.58

Note 10 — Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the condensed balance sheet date up to the date that the unaudited condensed financial statements were issued and determined that there have been no events that have occurred that would require adjustments to the disclosures of the unaudited condensed financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Stockholders and Board of Directors
Wag Labs, Inc.
San Francisco, CA

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Wag Labs, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, mezzanine equity and stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.    Description of business

Wag Labs, Inc. (“Wag” or the “Company”) is incorporated in Delaware with headquarters in San Francisco, California. The Company develops and supports a proprietary marketplace technology available as a website and mobile app (“platform” or “marketplace”) that enables independent pet caregivers (“PCG”) to connect with pet parents (“Services”). The platform allows pet parents (also referred to as “end-user(s)”), who require specific pet care services, to make service requests in the platform, which are then fulfilled by PCGs. Additionally, in August 2021, the Company launched a suite of pet wellness services and products (“Wag! Wellness”), including pet expert advice, pet wellness plans, and pet insurance comparison tools. The Company operates in the United States.

2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Reclassifications

Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation of the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of cash flows. Accounts receivable and intangible assets are presented separately in the current period, which had no impact on previously reported operating, investing, or financing cash flows.

Segments

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the Company’s CODM. The CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance of the Company. As such, the Company has determined that it operates as one operating segment.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgements, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures as of the date of the     audited      consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on various factors, including historical experience, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, when these carrying values are not readily available from other sources.

Significant items subject to estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, fair values of financial instruments, assumptions used in the valuation of common and preferred stock, valuation of stock-based compensation and warrants, and the valuation allowance for deferred income taxes. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, allocation of the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The

F-47

Wag Labs, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. When determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management makes significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to the valuation of intangible assets. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with a corresponding offset to goodwill if new information is obtained related to facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the fair value of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. Acquisition costs, such as legal and consulting fees, are expensed as incurred.

Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties

The Company has experienced negative cash flows since inception and had an accumulated deficit of $109.9 million as of December 31, 2021. Historically, the Company has primarily financed its operations through equity financings. The Company intends to finance its future operations through its existing cash and investments. The Company believes that those sources of liquidity will be sufficient to meet its operating needs for at least the next 12 months.

The outbreak of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020 and has spread throughout the United States and in many other countries globally. The full extent to which the Company’s operations will be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic will depend largely on future developments, which continue to be highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including the duration of the pandemic, the emergence of new variants, new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the pandemic and actions by government authorities and private businesses to contain the pandemic or respond to its impact, among other things. In light of the continued evolving nature of COVID-19 and the uncertainty it has produced around the world, it is not possible to predict the COVID-19 pandemic’s cumulative and ultimate impact on our future business operations, results of operations, financial position, liquidity, and cash flows. The Company’s revenue in 2020 decreased substantially compared to the pre-COVID revenue, and the extent of the impact of the pandemic on our business and financial results will depend largely on future developments both globally and within the United States, including whether there will be further resurgences of COVID-19 in various regions and the emergence of new variants, the distribution of vaccines in various regions, the impact on capital, foreign currencies exchange and financial markets, governmental or regulatory orders that impact our business and whether the impacts may result in permanent changes to our end-user’ behavior, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash on deposit as well as investments in money market funds that are readily convertible into cash and purchased with original maturities of three months or less. Restricted cash of approximately $0.8 million is included in “prepaid expenses and other current assets” on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and represents cash deposited by the Company into a separate account and designated as collateral for a standby letter of credit in the same amount in accordance with contractual agreements.

Investments

Investments consist mainly of short-term U.S. government and agency securities, money market funds, commercial paper, and corporate bonds. The Company invests in a diversified portfolio of investments and limits the concentration of its investment in any particular security. Securities with original maturities greater than three months, but less than one year, are included in current assets. All investments are classified as

F-48

Wag Labs, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

available-for-sale and reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity. Management judges whether a decline in value is temporary based on the length of time that the fair market value has been below cost and the severity of the decline. There were no impairments of investments recorded in 2021 and 2020.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable primarily represent amounts charged by payment processors on behalf of the Company that are in t he process of clearing. These amounts are generally cleared in one to three business days. Additionally, the Company records accounts receivable for commission fees earned but not yet received from third party service partners in connection with Wag! Wellness services. Substantially all accounts receivable are collected and bad debt expense or the allowance for doubtful accounts were not material.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

​	Estimated useful life
Automobiles	5 years
Equipment	3 years
Leasehold improvements	Shorter of estimated useful life or lease term
Capitalized software	3 years

Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. Our annual impairment test is performed in the fourth quarter of each year and the Company’s impairment tests are based on a single operating segment and reporting unit structure. Prior to performing a quantitative evaluation, an assessment of qualitative factors may be performed to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized for the excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit over its fair value. There was no goodwill impairment for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Intangible Assets, Net

Intangible assets are recorded at fair value as of the date of acquisition and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

Impairment of Definite-Lived Intangible Assets and Other Long-lived Assets

The Company reviews its definite-lived intangibles and other long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be fully recoverable. When such events occur, management determines whether there has been impairment by comparing the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows to the carrying value of the asset or asset group. If impairment exists, the assets are written down to its estimated fair value. No impairment of definite-lived intangible and long-lived assets was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Software Development Costs

The Company incurs costs related to the development of its technology platform. The Company will begin to capitalize costs related to technology development when preliminary development efforts are successfully completed, management has authorized and committed project funding, it is probable that the project will be completed, and the technology will be used as intended. Such costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related asset, which is generally three years. Costs incurred prior to meeting these criteria, together with costs incurred for training and maintenance, are expensed. Costs incurred for significant enhancements that are expected to result in additional functionality are capitalized and expensed over the estimated useful life of the upgrades. Capitalized development costs are included in property and equipment, net, in the consolidated balance sheets, and amortization expense is included in depreciation in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has an equity incentive plan under which it grants equity awards, including stock options. The Company determines compensation expense associated with stock options based on the estimated grant date fair value method using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Black-Scholes model considers several variables and assumptions in estimating the fair value of stock-based awards. These variables include per share fair value of the underlying common stock, exercise price, expected term, risk-free interest rate, expected stock price volatility over the expected term, and expected annual dividend yield.

For all stock options granted, the Company calculates the expected term using the simplified method as it has limited historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to otherwise estimate expected term, and the options have characteristics of “plain-vanilla” options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues similar in duration to the expected term of the stock-based award. The Company’s common stock is not publicly traded, and therefore, the Company uses the historical volatility of the stock price of similar publicly traded peer companies. The Company utilizes a dividend yield of zero, as it has no history or plan of declaring dividends on its common stock.

The Company generally recognizes compensation expense using a straight-line amortization method over the respective service period for awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Stock-based compensation expense for 2021 and 2020 has been reduced for actual forfeitures.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach, which requires the recognition of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial or tax returns. The measurement of the deferred items is based on enacted tax laws. In the event the future consequences of differences between financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities result in a deferred tax asset, the Company evaluates the probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such asset. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that either some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount of future tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized. We regularly review the deferred tax assets for recoverability based on historical taxable income or loss, projected future taxable income or loss, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and tax planning strategies. Our judgment regarding future profitability may change due to many factors, including future market conditions and the ability to successfully execute the business plans and/or tax planning strategies. Should there be a change in the ability to recover deferred tax assets, our income tax provision would increase or decrease in the period in which the assessment is changed.

The Company recognizes a tax benefit from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable, based solely on its technical merits and consideration of the relevant taxing authorities’ administrative practices and precedents. The tax benefits recognized from such positions are

measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being recognized upon settlement. The Company did not recognize any tax benefits from uncertain tax positions during 2021 and 2020.

Fair Value

The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), the Company uses the fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value.

Level 1 — Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for which there are little or no market data and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash equivalents, investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and loan payable, approximate their respective fair value due to their short period of maturities.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Cash, cash equivalents, investments, and amounts at payment processors are potentially subject to concentration of credit risk. Such balances are maintained at financial institutions that management determines to be of high-credit quality. Cash accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to certain limits. At times, such deposits may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with its Customers. Through its Services offerings, the Company principally generates service revenue from service fees charged to PCGs for use of the platform to discover pet service opportunities and to successfully complete a pet care service to a pet parent. The Company also generates revenue from subscription fees paid by pet parents for Wag! Premium, and fees paid by PCGs to join the platform. Additionally, through its Wellness offerings, the Company generates revenue through commissions fees paid by third party service partners in the form of ‘revenue-per-action’ or conversion activity defined in our agreements with the third-party service partner. For some of the Company’s arrangements with third-party service partners, the transaction price is considered variable and an estimate of the transaction price is recorded when the action occurs. The estimated transaction price used in the variable consideration is based on historical data with the respective third-party service partner and the consideration is measured and settled monthly.

The Company enters into terms of service with PCGs and pet parents to use the platform (“Terms of Service Agreements”), as well as an Independent Contractor Agreement (“ICA”) with PCGs (the ICA, together with the Terms of Service Agreements, the “Agreements”). The Agreements govern the fees the Company charges the PCGs for each transaction. Upon acceptance of a transaction, PCGs agree to perform the services that are requested by a pet parent. The acceptance of a transaction request combined with the Agreements establishes enforceable rights and obligations for each transaction. A contract exists between the Company and the PCGs after both the PCGs and pet parent accept a transaction request and the PCGs

ability to cancel the transaction lapses. For Wag! Wellness revenue, the Company enters into agreements with third-party service partners which define the action by the pet parent that results in the Company earning and receiving a commission fee.

Wag!’s service obligation is performed, and revenue is recognized for fees earned from PCGs related to the facilitation and completion of a pet service transaction between the pet parent and the PCG through the use of our platform. Revenue generated from the Company’s Wag! Premium subscription is recognized on a ratable basis over the contractual period, which is generally one month to one year depending on the type of subscription purchased by the pet parent. Unused subscription amounts are recorded as gift card and subscription liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Revenue related to the fees paid by the PCG to join the platform are recognized upon processing of the applications. Wag! Wellness revenue performance obligation is completed and revenue is recognized when an end-user completes an action or conversion activity.

Principal vs. Agent Considerations

Judgment is required in determining whether the Company is the principal or agent in transactions with PCGs and pet parents. The Company evaluated the presentation of revenue on a gross or net basis based on whether the Company controls the service provided to the pet parent and is the principal (i.e., “gross”), or whether the Company arranges for other parties to provide the service to the pet parent and is an agent (i.e. “net”). This determination also impacts the presentation of incentives provided to both PCGs and pet parents, as well as discounts and promotions offered to pet parents to the extent they are not customers.

The Company’s role in a transaction on the platform is to facilitate PCGs finding, applying, and completing a successful pet care service for a pet parent. The Company has concluded it is the agent in transactions with PCGs and pet parents because, among other factors, the Company’s role is to facilitate pet service opportunities to PCGs and it is not responsible for nor controls the delivery of pet services provided by the PCGs to the pet parents.

Gift Cards

The Company sells gift cards that can be redeemed by pet parents through our platform. Proceeds from the sale of gift cards are deferred and recorded as contract liabilities in gift card and subscription liabilities on the balance sheets until pet parents use the card to place orders on its platform. When gift cards are redeemed, revenue is recognized on a net basis as the difference between the amounts collected from the purchaser less amounts remitted to PCGs. Unused gift cards are recorded as gift card and subscription liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

Incentives

The Company offers discounts and promotions to encourage use of the Company’s platform. These are offered in various forms of discounts and promotions and include:

Targeted pet parent discounts and promotions:   These discounts and promotions are offered to a limited number of pet parents in a specific market to acquire, re-engage, or generally increase pet parents’ use of the platform, and are akin to a coupon. The Company records the cost of these discounts and promotions as sales and marketing expenses at the time they are redeemed by the pet parent.

Market-wide promotions:   These promotions are pricing actions in the form of discounts that reduce the price pet parents pay PCGs for services. These promotions result in a lower fee earned by the Company from the PCG. Accordingly, the Company records the cost of these promotions as a reduction of revenue at the time the PCG service is completed. Discounts on services offered through our subscription program are also recorded as a reduction of revenue.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Cost of Revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)

Cost of revenue consists of costs directly related to revenue generating transactions, which primarily includes fees paid to payment processors for payment processing fees, hosting and platform-related infrastructure costs, third-party costs for background checks for Pet Caregivers, and other costs arising as a result of revenue transactions that take place on our platform, excluding depreciation and amortization.

Platform Operations and Support

Platform operations and support expenses include personnel-related compensation costs of technology and operations teams, and third-party operations support costs.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses include personnel-related compensation costs of the marketing team, advertising expenses, and pet parent incentives. Sales and marketing expenses are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses were $6.7 million and $0.6 million during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses include personnel-related compensation costs for corporate employees, such as management, accounting, and legal as well as insurance and other expenses used to operate the business.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses primarily consist of depreciation and amortization expenses associated with the Company’s property and equipment. Amortization includes expenses associated with the Company’s capitalized software and website development, as well as acquired intangible assets.

Earnings Per Share

The Company computes net income (loss) per common stock following the two-class method required for multiple classes of common stock and participating securities. The Company considers the redeemable preferred stock to be participating securities. The two-class method requires income (loss) available to common stockholders for the period to be allocated between multiple classes of common stock and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income (loss) for the period had been distributed. The holders of the Company’s redeemable preferred stock would be entitled to dividends in preference to common stockholders, at specified rates, if declared. Such dividends are not cumulative. Any remaining earnings would be distributed among the holders of redeemable preferred stock and common stock pro rata. Holders of the Company’s redeemable preferred stock are not contractually obligated to participate in the Company’s losses. As such, the Company’s net losses for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were not allocated to these participating securities.

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period. For periods in which the Company reports net losses, diluted net loss per common stock is the same as basic net loss per common stock, because all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

The Company has applied the option given to public companies to adopt new or revised accounting guidance as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the

F-53

Wag Labs, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

“JOBS Act”) either (1) within the same time periods as those otherwise applicable to public business entities, or (2) within the same time periods as private companies, including early adoption when permissible. With the exception of certain standards the Company elected to early adopt, when permissible, the Company has elected to adopt new or revised accounting guidance within the same time period as private companies, as indicated below.In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Nonemployee Share-based Payments. ASU 2018-07 expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The guidance in ASU 2018-07 is effective for the Company for the year beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than a company’s adoption date of Topic 606. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of the new standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This standard requires lessees to recognize all leases with initial terms in excess of one year on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the commencement date. The guidance is effective for the Company for the year beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company is finalizing the quantification of the effects on the consolidated financial statements. We have made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off the balance sheet and recognize the related lease payments in the consolidated statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have elected to use the package of practical expedients as well as the practical expedient not to separate lease and non-lease components for all asset classes. The adoption of the standard is expected to result in the recognition of an operating right-of-use asset of approximately $0.5 million, an operating lease liability of approximately $0.6 million, and an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings of approximately $0.1 million, as of January 1, 2022. We do not believe the adoption of this standard will materially affect our consolidated net earnings or have a material impact on the Company’s liquidity.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326). This standard replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology under current U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. We will be required to use a forward-looking expected credit loss model for accounts receivable, loans and other financial instruments. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities will also be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities. The guidance is effective for the Company for the year beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently assessing whether this guidance will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This ASU removes certain exceptions to the general principles of Topic 740 and provides clarification and simplification of existing guidance. The guidance is effective for the Company for the year beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of the new standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Business Combinations

On August 3, 2021, the Company acquired Compare Pet Insurance, Inc. (CPI) for $3.5 million in cash consideration, and $0.17 million in common stock consideration, consisting of a total of 639,000 units of common stock. Of the cash consideration purchase price, $1.5 million was paid on the acquisition date and the remaining $2.0 million will be paid pro-rata quarterly over the next three years starting in the fourth quarter of 2021. The deferred purchase consideration, which was recorded at its fair value on the acquisition date, is presented in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, as well as other non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the amounts included in accrued

expenses and other current liabilities, as well as other non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet was $0.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively. No working capital was acquired from CPI.

The purchase consideration allocation is as follows (in thousands):

​	As of August 3, 2021
Intangible assets	​	$	3,045
Goodwill	​	​	1,427
Deferred tax liabilities	​	​	(792)
Total purchase consideration	​	$	3,680

The table below summarizes the fair value and the estimated useful lives of the acquired intangible assets (in thousands):

​	Fair Value			Estimated Useful Life (years)
Developed technology	​	$	648	​	4
Strategic customer relationships and licenses	​	​	2,121	​	5-10
Tradename	​	​	276	​	7
Total intangible assets	​	$	3,045	​	​

Goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisition is primarily attributed to the assembled workforce, anticipated operational synergies, and a deferred tax benefit. The resulting goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

The results of the acquired operations were included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition, August 3, 2021. For the period from August 3, 2021 to December 31, 2021, CPI contributed $5.1 million in revenue to the company and $0.9 million in net income.

The following unaudited pro forma summary presents the effect of the CPI business acquired during the year ended December 31, 2021 as though the business had been acquired as of January 1, 2020 (in thousands):

​	Years Ended December 31,
​	2021			2020
Revenue, as reported	​	$	20,082	​	$	11,970
Revenue of CPI for the period prior to acquisition (inclusive of pro forma adjustments)	​	​	1,925	​	​	339
Pro forma revenue	​	$	22,007	​	$	12,309
Net loss, as reported	​	$	(6,311)	​	$	(18,839)

4. Revenue and Contract Liabilities

Revenue

The following table presents the Company’s revenue disaggregated by offering (in thousands):

​	For the Year Ended December 31, 2021
Service revenue	​	$	14,951
Wellness revenue	​	​	5,131

Wellness revenue was launched in August 2021 with the acquisition of CPI and does not have a prior year comparison.

Contract liabilities

The timing of services revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to or collections from customers. The Company’s contract liabilities balance, which is included in gift card and subscription liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets is primarily comprised of unredeemed gift cards, prepayments received from consumers for Wag! Premium subscriptions, and certain consumer credits for which the revenue is recognized over time as they are used for services on our platform. The contract liabilities balance was $1.9 million and $1.8 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Revenue recognized for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 related to the Company’s contract liabilities as of the beginning of the year was $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

8. Leases

Operating Leases

The Company leases its facilities under non-cancelable lease agreements which expire between 2022 and 2023. Certain of these arrangements have free rent, escalating rent payment provisions, lease renewal options, and tenant allowances. Rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the noncancelable lease term.

In April 2019, the Company entered into a non-cancellable agreement to lease office space in Mountain View, California. The lease is a three-year operating lease, which includes scheduled rent escalations during the lease term. The Company has an option to extend the lease through 2025, although management does not expect the Company to exercise the option.

In February 2020, the Company entered into a non-cancellable sublease agreement for its Mountain View office space. The sublease agreement commenced on April 1, 2020. Under the term of the sublease agreement, the Company will receive $2.0 million in base lease payments plus reimbursement of certain operating expenses over the term of the sublease, which ends in July 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized $0.9 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of sublease income under this agreement.

Wag Labs, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

In February 2020, the Company entered into a non-cancellable agreement to lease additional office space in Mountain View, California for a one-year period. There is no option to extend the lease.

In November 2021, the Company entered into a non-cancellable agreement to lease additional office space in Phoenix, Arizona for a 21-month period. The lease contains an escalation clause and free rent. There is no option to extend the lease.

As of December 31, 2021, the future minimum lease payments required under operating leases were as follows (in thousands):

2022	$	932
2023	​	227
Total minimum lease payments	$	1,159

Total rent expense, net of sublease income, was $2.8 million and $3.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal and other contingencies

From time to time, the Company may be a party to litigation and subject to claims, including non-income tax audits, in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues a liability when management believes information available to it prior to the issuance of the consolidated financial statements indicates it is probable a loss has been incurred as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company adjusts its accruals to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Legal costs are expensed as incurred. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management concluded that there was not a reasonable probability that it had incurred a material loss during the periods presented related to such loss contingencies. Therefore, the Company has not recorded a reserve for any such contingencies.

Given the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the ultimate outcome of ongoing matters cannot be predicted with certainty. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, but the Company believes it has valid defenses with respect to the legal matters pending against it. Nevertheless, the consolidated financial statements could be materially adversely affected in a particular period by the resolution of one or more of these contingencies. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of judgment, defense, and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors. Liabilities established to provide for contingencies are adjusted as further information develops, circumstances changes, or contingencies are resolved; such changes are recorded in the accompanying statements of operations during the period of the change and reflected in accrued and other current liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The Company has been and continues to be involved in numerous legal proceedings related to Pet Caregiver classification. In California, Assembly Bill No. 5 (AB-5) implemented a presumption that workers are employees. However, AB-2257 exempts agencies providing referrals for certain animal services, including dog walking, from AB-5. The Company believes that it falls within this exemption. Nevertheless, the interpretation or enforcement of the exemption could change.

In November 2019, California issued an assessment alleging various violations and penalties related to alleged misclassification of pet caregivers who use the Company’s platform as independent contractors. The Company has challenged both the legal basis and the amount of the assessment. A merits hearing is currently scheduled for March 2022. The Company believes given the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the outcome of this matter cannot be predicted with certainty. Therefore, the Company has not recorded a reserve.

F-59

Wag Labs, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company is subject to audits by taxing authorities and other forms of investigation, audit, or inquiry conducted by federal, state, or local governmental agencies. In addition, the Company is subject to an ongoing claim with a state tax authority related to the collection of sales and use taxes in that state, which the Company has challenged in court and was required to pay to the state the amount of the claim of $1.2 million as a prerequisite to the court challenge. The dispute process is still ongoing and no liability has been recorded related to this matter. The Company has recorded the deposit paid as a prepaid asset in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. Due to the inherent uncertainties in the final outcome of such matters, the Company can give no assurance that it will prevail in such matters, which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business. In addition, the Company may be subject to greater risk of legal claims or regulatory actions as it increases and continues its operations in jurisdictions where the laws and regulations governing online marketplaces or the employment classification of service providers who use online marketplaces are uncertain or unfavorable. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, management did not believe that the outcome of pending matters would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In November 2018, the Company reached an agreement with representatives of pet caregivers that had filed class claims in California to settle their allegations of various misclassification and wage and hour claims against the Company. In March 2020, the Court issued an order approving the settlement totaling $1.2 million. The amount was previously accrued in 2018 and paid in 2020.

In October 2018, a former employee initiated claims against the Company alleging various misclassification and wage and hour violations and subsequently filed an action under California’s Private Attorneys General Act alleging the same. In March 2020, the parties filed their settlement agreement of $850 thousand, and the Court approved. The amount was subsequently paid in 2020.

In August 2020, the Company received loan proceeds of $5.1 million from a financial institution pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”) as administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). The application for these funds required the Company to, in good faith, certify that the current economic uncertainty made the loan request necessary to support the ongoing operations of the Company. This certification further required the Company to take into account its then current business activity and its ability to access other sources of liquidity sufficient to support ongoing operations in a manner that is not significantly detrimental to the business. The receipt of these funds, and the forgiveness of the loan attendant to these funds, was dependent on the Company having initially qualified for the loan and qualifying for the forgiveness of such loan based on its adherence to the forgiveness criteria.

In August 2021, the Company applied for forgiveness of $3.5 million of the PPP Loan, and in September 2021, the SBA approved the Company’s loan forgiveness application in the amount of $3.5 million. The term of the PPP Loan was five years with a maturity date of August 2025 and contained a fixed annual interest rate of 1.00%. Principal and interest payments began in November 2021.

Future minimum payments of the principal on the Company’s outstanding PPP loan as of December 31, 2021 were as follows (in thousands):

Series D repurchase

In December 2019, the Company agreed to repurchase all Series D preferred stock from the Series D investor at a total purchase price of $75 million. Series D had originated in February 2018, whereby the Company authorized and sold 31,715,826 shares of the Company’s Series D preferred stock for $260 million. The difference between the repurchase price of the Series D preferred shares and its carrying amount was recorded as a credit to accumulated deficit in the statement of mezzanine equity and stockholders’ deficit. The repurchased shares were retired in connection with the repurchase.

Preferred Stock Provisions

Dividends — The holders of preferred stock shall be entitled to receive dividends, out of any assets legally available therefore, on a pari passu basis prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any dividend (payable other than in shares of common stock) on the common stock of the Company, at the dividend rate, payable when, as and if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors. For the purpose of this section, dividend rate shall mean: $0.0554 per annum for each share of Series Seed Preferred, $0.1251 per annum for each share of Series A Preferred, $0.1793 per annum for each share of Series B Preferred, and $0.4376 per annum for each share of Series C Preferred. Further, the Company has never paid dividends, and as the dividends are non-cumulative, the Company does not anticipate paying dividends in the future.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Voting Rights — Each holder of Series Seed, Series A, Series B, and Series C Preferred is entitled to have voting rights. In addition to the separate votes of preferred stock, the shares can convert into common shares and thus have the same voting rights as common stockholders. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Common Stockholders can elect one member of the Board, Preferred Stockholders can elect three members of the Board, and the Common and Preferred Stockholders as a single class on an as converted basis elect the remaining one Board members. In August 2021, the Company increased the Board size from five to seven, where the Common and Preferred Stockholders as a single class on an as converted basis elect the remaining three Board members.

Liquidation Preference — Should a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company commence, the holders of Series Seed, Series A, Series B and Series C Preferred will receive an aggregate amount equal to the original issue price pro rata according to the number of outstanding shares held by each holder. For the purpose of this section, original issue price shall mean, $0.6922 per Series Seed preferred share, $1.5643 per Series A preferred share, $2.2408 per Series B preferred share and $5.4703 per Series C preferred share.

Conversion Rights — The convertible preferred shares of Series Seed, Series A, Series B and Series C are convertible at the option of the holder at any time. Additionally, the instruments automatically convert into shares of common stock upon the affirmative election of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, or immediately upon the closing of a firmly underwritten public offering resulting in at least $24.5934 per share of public offering price and $175,000,000 of gross proceeds. Given that the conversion ratio is fixed at 1:1, the Company would issue a fixed number of shares of common stock and not a variable number of shares to settle the convertible preferred stock, unless a new round of common stock is issued. There was no benefit to any of the preferred stockholders to convert their shares into common stock as of their date of issuance as the fair value of common stock was consistently lower than the fair value of preferred stock for each round of preferred stock then outstanding. As such, the conversion features were not in the money at the commitment date, therefore no beneficial conversion feature exists.

The Preferred Stockholders’ have the ability to control the Board and influence decisions such as a liquidation or redemption events, which are outside of the control of the Company. Therefore, the preferred stock is presented within the mezzanine equity within the consolidated balance sheet for the respective periods.

Common Stock

As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, the Company had authorized 43,763,126 and 43,763,126 shares of common stock (“common stock”) at a par value of $0.0001 per share, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, 6,297,398 and 5,629,095 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued and outstanding, respectively.

the difference between the exercise price of the options and the estimated fair value of the common stock. The intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was zero for each period.

The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $0.03 and $0.06 per option, respectively.

The estimated grant date fair values of employee stock-based options were calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model, based on the following assumptions. Since the Company does not a history of paying dividends, the expected dividend yield is 0%.

​	December 31, 2021	December 31, 2020
Expected term	5.20 – 9. 97 years	5.58 – 10.0 years
Volatility (%)	57.93% – 59.49%	54.25% – 57. 73%
Risk-free interest rate (%)	0.71% – 1 55%	0.32% – 0. 95%

For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, total stock-based compensation expense was $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, the aggregate stock compensation expense remaining to be amortized was $0.2 million. The Company expects this compensation balance to be recognized over a weighted average of 1.87 years. The Company expects to continue to issue unit-based awards to its employees in future periods.

The following table summarizes the total stock-based compensation expense by function for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands).

Valuation allowance	​	​	52,803	​	​	51,238
Net deferred tax taxes	​	$	—	​	$	—

The valuation allowance increased by $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to the increase of $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company believes that, based on a number of factors, the available objective evidence creates sufficient uncertainty regarding the realizability of the deferred tax assets such that a valuation allowance has been recorded. These factors include the Company’s history of net losses since its inception. No uncertain tax positions have been identified.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $200 million and $171 million, respectively. The federal net operating loss carryforwards generated as of December 31, 2017 of $23.3 million will expire in 2037, while $176.6 million federal net operating loss carryforwards generated in post December 31, 2017 or later do not expire due to the provisions inthe Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, but may only offset 80% of taxable income in periods of future utilization. The state net operating loss carryovers will begin to expire in 2038 and will continue to expire through 2041.

The Company has experienced ownership changes within the meaning of Sec. 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) at various dates from 2015 through 2019. Based on the Sec. 382 study, the Company has determined that $35.3 million federal and $37.6 million California net operating losses are subject to Sec. 382 limitations, respectively. The ability to utilize net operating losses, tax credits and other tax attributes may be limited.

The Company files returns with the U.S. federal government, and various state jurisdictions. The Company’s returns have been, and could in the future, subject to examination which may, or may not, have an impact to the consolidated financial statements.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company completed its evaluation of the impact of the CARES Act and did not expect the provisions of the legislation to have a significant impact on the effective tax rate, deferred tax assets and liabilities, or income tax payable of the Company.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1.   Description of business

Wag Labs, Inc. (“Wag” or the “Company”) is incorporated in Delaware with headquarters in San Francisco, California. The Company develops and supports a proprietary marketplace technology available as a website and mobile app (“platform” or “marketplace”) that enables independent pet caregivers (“PCG”) to connect with pet parents (“Services”). The platform allows pet parents (also referred to as “end-user(s)”), who require specific pet care services, to make service requests in the platform, which are then fulfilled by PCGs. Additionally, in August 2021, the Company launched a suite of pet wellness services and products (“Wag! Wellness”), including pet expert advice, pet wellness plans, and pet insurance comparison tools. The Company operates in the United States.

On February 2, 2022, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with CHW Acquisition Corporation (“CHW”) and CHW Merger Sub Inc. (“Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CHW. Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, Sub will merge with and into Wag! with Wag! continuing as the surviving entity (the “Merger”).

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim financial statements. Accordingly, certain information related to our significant accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the related notes which provide a more complete discussion of the Company’s accounting policies and certain other information. The December 31, 2021 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2022 and its results of operations, changes in mezzanine equity and stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or for any other future annual or interim period.

Segments

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the Company’s CODM. The CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance of the Company. As such, the Company has determined that it operates as one operating segment.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgements, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates

F-73

Wag Labs, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

on various factors, including historical experience, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, when these carrying values are not readily available from other sources.

Significant items subject to estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, fair values of financial instruments, assumptions used in the valuation of common and preferred stock, valuation of stock-based compensation and warrants, and the valuation allowance for deferred income taxes. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, allocation of the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. When determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management makes significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to the valuation of intangible assets. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with a corresponding offset to goodwill if new information is obtained related to facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the fair value of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. Acquisition costs, such as legal and consulting fees, are expensed as incurred.

Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties

The Company has experienced negative cash flows since inception and had an accumulated deficit of $112.2 million and $109.9 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Historically, the Company has primarily financed its operations through equity financings. The Company intends to finance its future operations through its existing cash and investments. The Company believes that those sources of liquidity will be sufficient to meet its operating needs for at least the next 12 months.

The outbreak of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020 and spread throughout the United States and in many other countries globally. The full extent to which the Company’s operations will continue to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic will depend largely on future developments, which continue to be highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including the duration of the pandemic, the emergence of new variants, new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the pandemic and actions by government authorities and private businesses to contain the pandemic or respond to its impact, among other things. In light of the continued evolving nature of COVID-19 and the uncertainty it has produced around the world, it is not possible to predict the COVID-19 pandemic’s cumulative and ultimate impact on our future business operations, results of operations, financial position, liquidity, and cash flows. The Company’s revenue in 2021 decreased compared to the pre-COVID revenue, and the extent of the impact of the pandemic on our business and financial results will depend largely on future developments both globally and within the United States, including whether there will be further resurgences of COVID-19 in various regions and the emergence of new variants, the distribution of vaccines in various regions, the impact on capital, foreign currencies exchange and financial markets, governmental or regulatory orders that impact our business and whether the impacts may result in permanent changes to our end-user’ behavior, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash on deposit as well as investments in money market funds that are readily convertible into cash and purchased with original maturities of three months or less. Restricted cash of approximately $0.8 million is included in “prepaid expenses and other current assets” on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and represents cash deposited by the Company into a separate account and designated as collateral for a standby letter of credit in the same amount in accordance with contractual agreements.

Investments

Investments consist mainly of short-term U.S. government and agency securities, money market funds, commercial paper, and corporate bonds. The Company invests in a diversified portfolio of investments and limits the concentration of its investment in any particular security. Securities with original maturities greater than three months, but less than one year, are included in current assets. All investments are classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity. Management judges whether a decline in value is temporary based on the length of time that the fair market value has been below cost and the severity of the decline. There were no impairments of investments recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable primarily represent amounts charged by payment processors on behalf of the Company that are in the process of clearing. These amounts are generally cleared in one to three business days. Additionally, the Company records accounts receivable for commission fees earned but not yet received from third parties in connection with Wag! Wellness services. Substantially all accounts receivable are collected and bad debt expense or the allowance for doubtful accounts were not material.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

​	Estimated useful life
Equipment	3 years
Leasehold improvements	Shorter of estimated useful life or lease term
Capitalized software	3 years

Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. Our annual impairment test is performed in the fourth quarter of each year and the Company’s impairment tests are based on a single operating segment and reporting unit structure. Prior to performing a quantitative evaluation, an assessment of qualitative factors may be performed to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized for the excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit over its fair value.

F-75

Wag Labs, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Intangible Assets, Net

Intangible assets are recorded at fair value as of the date of acquisition and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

Impairment of Intangible Assets

The Company reviews its definite-lived intangibles and other long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be fully recoverable. When such events occur, management determines whether there has been impairment by comparing the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows to the carrying value of the asset or asset group. If impairment exists, the assets are written down to its estimated fair value. No impairment of definite-lived intangible and long-lived assets was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Software Development Costs

The Company incurs costs related to the development of its technology platform. The Company will begin to capitalize costs related to technology development when preliminary development efforts are successfully completed, management has authorized and committed project funding, it is probable that the project will be completed, and the technology will be used as intended. Such costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related asset, which is generally three years. Costs incurred prior to meeting these criteria, together with costs incurred for training and maintenance, are expensed. Costs incurred for significant enhancements that are expected to result in additional functionality are capitalized and expensed over the estimated useful life of the upgrades. Capitalized development costs are included in property and equipment, net, in the balance sheets, and amortization expense is included in depreciation and amortization in the statements of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has an equity incentive plan under which it grants equity awards, including stock options. The Company determines compensation expense associated with stock options based on the estimated grant date fair value method using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Black-Scholes model considers several variables and assumptions in estimating the fair value of stock-based awards. These variables include per share fair value of the underlying common stock, exercise price, expected term, risk-free interest rate, expected stock price volatility over the expected term, and expected annual dividend yield.

For all stock options granted, the Company calculates the expected term using the simplified method as it has limited historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to otherwise estimate expected term, and the options have characteristics of “plain-vanilla” options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues similar in duration to the expected term of the stock-based award. The Company’s common stock is not publicly traded, and therefore, the Company uses the historical volatility of the stock price of similar publicly traded peer companies. The Company utilizes a dividend yield of zero, as it has no history or plan of declaring dividends on its common stock.

The Company generally recognizes compensation expense using a straight-line amortization method over the respective service period for awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 has been reduced for actual forfeitures.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach, which requires the recognition of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial or tax returns. The measurement of the deferred items is based on enacted tax laws. In the event the future consequences of differences between financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities result in a deferred tax asset, the

F-76

Wag Labs, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Company evaluates the probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such asset. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that either some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount of future tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized. We regularly review the deferred tax assets for recoverability based on historical taxable income or loss, projected future taxable income or loss, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and tax planning strategies. Our judgment regarding future profitability may change due to many factors, including future market conditions and the ability to successfully execute the business plans and/or tax planning strategies. Should there be a change in the ability to recover deferred tax assets, our income tax provision would increase or decrease in the period in which the assessment is changed.

The Company recognizes a tax benefit from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable, based solely on its technical merits and consideration of the relevant taxing authorities’ administrative practices and precedents. The tax benefits recognized from such positions are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being recognized upon settlement. The Company did not recognize any tax benefits from uncertain tax positions during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Fair Value

The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), the Company uses the fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value.

Level 1 — Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for which there are little or no market data and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash equivalents, investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their respective fair value due to their short period of maturities.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Cash, cash equivalents, investments, and amounts at payment processors are potentially subject to concentration of credit risk. Such balances are maintained at financial institutions that management determines to be of high-credit quality. Cash accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to certain limits. At times, such deposits may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with its Customers. Through its Services offerings, the Company principally generates service revenue from service fees charged to PCGs for use of the platform to discover pet service opportunities and to successfully complete a pet care service to a pet parent. The Company also generates revenue from subscription fees paid by pet parents for Wag! Premium, and fees paid by PCGs to join the platform. Additionally, through its Wellness offerings, the Company generates revenue through commission fees paid by third party service partners in the

F-77

Wag Labs, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

form of ‘revenue-per-action’ or conversion activity defined in our agreements with the third party service partner. For some of the Company’s arrangements with third party service partners, the transaction price is considered variable, and an estimate of the transaction price is recorded when the action occurs. The estimated transaction price used in the variable consideration is based on historical data with the respective third-party service partner and the consideration is measured and settled monthly.

The Company enters into terms of service with PCGs and pet parents to use the platform (“Terms of Service Agreements”), as well as an Independent Contractor Agreement (“ICA”) with PCGs (the ICA, together with the Terms of Service Agreements, the “Agreements”). The Agreements govern the fees the Company charges the PCGs for each transaction. Upon acceptance of a transaction, PCGs agree to perform the services that are requested by a pet parent. The acceptance of a transaction request combined with the Agreements establishes enforceable rights and obligations for each transaction. A contract exists between the Company and the PCGs after both the PCGs and pet parent accept a transaction request and the PCGs ability to cancel the transaction lapses. For Wag! Wellness revenue, the Company enters into agreements with third party service partners which define the action by a pet parent that results in the Company earning and receiving a commission fee from the third-party service partner.

Wag!’s service obligations are performed, and revenue is recognized for fees earned from PCGs related to the facilitation and completion of a pet service transaction between the pet parent and the PCG through the use of our platform. Revenue generated from the Company’s Wag! Premium subscription is recognized on a ratable basis over the contractual period, which is generally one month to one year depending on the type of subscription purchased by the pet parent. Unused subscription amounts are recorded as gift card and subscription liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Revenue related to the fees paid by the PCG to join the platform are recognized upon processing of the applications. Wag! Wellness revenue performance obligation is completed, and revenue is recognized when an end-user completes an action or conversion activity.

Principal vs. Agent Considerations

Judgment is required in determining whether the Company is the principal or agent in transactions with PCGs and pet parents. The Company evaluated the presentation of revenue on a gross or net basis based on whether the Company controls the service provided to the pet parent and is the principal (i.e., “gross”), or whether the Company arranges for other parties to provide the service to the pet parent and is an agent (i.e. “net”). This determination also impacts the presentation of incentives provided to both PCGs and pet parents, as well as discounts and promotions offered to pet parents to the extent they are not customers.

The Company’s role in a transaction on the platform is to facilitate PCGs finding, applying, and completing a successful pet care service for a pet parent. The Company has concluded it is the agent in transactions with PCGs and pet parents because, among other factors, the Company’s role is to facilitate pet service opportunities to PCGs and it is not responsible for nor controls the delivery of pet services provided by the PCGs to the pet parents.

Gift Cards

The Company sells gift cards that can be redeemed by pet parents through the platform. Proceeds from the sale of gift cards are deferred and recorded as contract liabilities in gift card and subscription liabilities on the balance sheets until pet parents use the card to place orders on our platform. When gift cards are redeemed, revenue is recognized on a net basis as the difference between the amounts collected from the purchaser less amounts remitted to PCGs. Unused gift cards are recorded as gift card and subscription liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

Incentives

The Company offers discounts and promotions to encourage use of the Company’s platform. These are offered in various forms of discounts and promotions and include:

F-78

Wag Labs, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Targeted pet parent discounts and promotions:   These discounts and promotions are offered to a limited number of pet parents in a specific market to acquire, re-engage, or generally increase pet parents’ use of the platform, and are akin to a coupon. The Company records the cost of these discounts and promotions as sales and marketing expenses at the time they are redeemed by the pet parent.

Market-wide promotions:   These promotions are pricing actions in the form of discounts that reduce the price pet parents pay PCGs for services. These promotions result in a lower fee earned by the Company from the PCG. Accordingly, the Company records the cost of these promotions as a reduction of revenue at the time the PCG service is completed. Discounts on services offered through our subscription program are also recorded as a reduction of revenue.

Cost of Revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)

Cost of revenue consists of costs directly related to revenue generating transactions, which primarily includes fees paid to payment processors for payment processing fees, hosting and platform-related infrastructure costs, third-party costs for background checks for Pet Caregivers, and other costs arising as a result of revenue transactions that take place on our platform, excluding depreciation and amortization.

Platform Operations and Support

Platform operations and support expenses include personnel-related compensation costs of technology and operations teams, and third-party operations support costs.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses include personnel-related compensation costs of the marketing team, advertising expenses, and pet parent incentives. Sales and marketing expenses are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses were $4.3 million and $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses include personnel-related compensation costs for corporate employees, such as management, accounting, and legal as well as insurance and other expenses used to operate the business.

Depreciation and Amortization

Earnings Per Share

The Company computes net income (loss) per common stock following the two-class method required for multiple classes of common stock and participating securities. The Company considers the redeemable preferred stock to be participating securities. The two-class method requires income (loss) available to common stockholders for the period to be allocated between multiple classes of common stock and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income (loss) for the period had been distributed. The holders of the Company’s redeemable preferred stock would be entitled to dividends in preference to common stockholders, at specified rates, if declared. Such dividends are not cumulative. Any remaining earnings would be distributed among the holders of redeemable preferred stock and common stock pro rata. Holders of the Company’s redeemable preferred stock are not contractually obligated to participate in the Company’s losses. As such, the Company’s net losses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were not allocated to these participating securities.

F-79

Wag Labs, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period. For periods in which the Company reports net losses, diluted net loss per common stock is the same as basic net loss per common stock, because all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

The Company has applied the option given to public companies to adopt new or revised accounting guidance as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) either (1) within the same time periods as those otherwise applicable to public business entities, or (2) within the same time periods as private companies, including early adoption when permissible. With the exception of certain standards, the Company elected to early adopt, when permissible, otherwise the Company has elected to adopt new or revised accounting guidance within the same time period as private companies, as indicated below.

On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This standard requires lessees to recognize all leases with initial terms in excess of one year on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the commencement date. The Company adopted the new leases standard utilizing the modified retrospective transition method, under which amounts in prior periods presented were not restated. For contracts existing at the time of adoption, the Company elected to not reassess (i) whether any are or contain leases, (ii) lease classification, and (iii) initial direct costs. The Company also elected the practical expedient to combine non-lease components and lease components for real estate leases. Upon adoption, the Company recorded $0.5 million of right-of-use assets and $0.5 million of lease liabilities on its condensed consolidated balance sheet.

On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This ASU removes certain exceptions to the general principles of Topic 740 and provides clarification and simplification of existing guidance. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

3.   Business Combinations

On August 3, 2021, the Company acquired Compare Pet Insurance, Inc. (CPI) for $3.5 million in cash consideration, and $0.17 million in common stock consideration, consisting of a total of 639,000 units of common stock. Of the cash consideration purchase price, $1.5 million was paid on the acquisition date and the remaining $2.0 million paid pro-rata quarterly over the next three years starting in the fourth quarter of 2021. The deferred purchase consideration, which was recorded at its fair value on the acquisition date, is presented in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, as well as other non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the amounts included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, as well as other non-current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet was $1.7 million and $1.9 million, respectively. No working capital was acquired from CPI.

The purchase consideration allocation was as follows (in thousands):

​	As of August 3, 2021
Intangible assets	​	$	3,045
Goodwill	​	​	1,427
Deferred tax liabilities	​	​	(792)

7.   Leases

Operating Leases

The Company leases its facilities under non-cancelable lease agreements which expire between 2022 and 2023. Certain of these arrangements have free rent, escalating rent payment provisions, lease renewal options, and tenant allowances. Rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the noncancelable lease term.

In April 2019, the Company entered into a non-cancellable agreement to lease office space in Mountain View, California. The lease is a three-year operating lease, which includes scheduled rent escalations during the lease term. The Company has an option to extend the lease through 2025, although management does not expect the Company to exercise the option.

In February 2020, the Company entered into a non-cancellable sublease agreement for its Mountain View office space. The sublease agreement commenced on April 1, 2020. Under the term of the sublease agreement, the Company will receive $2.0 million in base lease payments plus reimbursement of certain operating expenses over the term of the sublease, which ends in July 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of sublease income under this agreement.

In February 2020, the Company entered into a non-cancellable agreement to lease additional office space in Mountain View, California for a one-year period. There is no option to extend the lease.

In November 2021, the Company entered into a non-cancellable agreement to lease office space in Phoenix, Arizona for a 21-month period. The lease contains an escalation clause and free rent. There is no option to extend the lease.

Non-cash activities involving ROU assets, including the impact of adopting the new lease standard on January 1, 2022 were $0.5 million in assets and $0.5 million in liabilities. The Company made $0.1 million of cash payments, net of sublease income, for the Company’s operating leases in the three months ended March 31, 2022. Rent expense for operating leases, as previously reported under former lease accounting standards, net of sublease income, was $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

As of March 31, 2022, the future minimum lease payments required under operating leases were as follows (in thousands):

2022 (remaining nine months)	$	600
2023	​	227
Total minimum lease payments	$	827

Wag Labs, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The discount rate related to the Company’s lease liabilities as of March 31, 2022 was 12%. The discount rates are generally based on estimates of the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, as the discount rates implicit in the Company’s leases cannot be readily determined.

8.   Commitments and Contingencies

Legal and other contingencies

From time to time, the Company may be a party to litigation and subject to claims, including non- income tax audits, in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues a liability when management believes information available to it prior to the issuance of the consolidated financial statements indicates it is probable a loss has been incurred as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company adjusts its accruals to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Legal costs are expensed as incurred. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management concluded that there was not a reasonable probability that it had incurred a material loss during the periods presented related to such loss contingencies. Therefore, the Company has not recorded a reserve for any such contingencies.

Given the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the ultimate outcome of ongoing matters cannot be predicted with certainty. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, but the Company believes it has valid defenses with respect to the legal matters pending against it. Nevertheless, the consolidated financial statements could be materially adversely affected in a particular period by the resolution of one or more of these contingencies. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of judgment, defense, and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors. Liabilities established to provide for contingencies are adjusted as further information develops, circumstances changes, or contingencies are resolved; such changes are recorded in the accompanying statements of operations during the period of the change and reflected in accrued and other current liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The Company has been and continues to be involved in numerous legal proceedings related to Pet Caregiver classification. In California, Assembly Bill No. 5 (AB-5) implemented a presumption that workers are employees. However, AB-2257 exempts agencies providing referrals for certain animal services, including dog walking, from AB-5. The Company believes that it falls within this exemption. Nevertheless, the interpretation or enforcement of the exemption could change.

In November 2019, California issued an assessment alleging various violations and penalties related to alleged misclassification of pet caregivers who use the Company’s platform as independent contractors. The Company has challenged both the legal basis and the amount of the assessment. The Company believes given the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the outcome of this matter cannot be predicted with certainty. Therefore, the Company has not recorded a reserve.

The Company is subject to audits by taxing authorities and other forms of investigation, audit, or inquiry conducted by federal, state, or local governmental agencies. In addition, the Company was subject to a claim with a state tax authority related to the collection of sales and use taxes in that state, which the Company challenged in court and was required to pay to the state the amount of the claim of $1.2 million as a prerequisite to the court challenge. As of March 31, 2022, the dispute process was ongoing and no liability was recorded related to this matter. The Company has recorded the deposit paid as a prepaid asset in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. On May 13, 2022, the Company settled this claim without liability and will receive a full refund of the previously paid deposit of $1.2 million from the state taxing authority.

The Company may be subject to greater risk of legal claims or regulatory actions as it increases and continues its operations in jurisdictions where the laws and regulations governing online marketplaces or the employment classification of service providers who use online marketplaces are uncertain or unfavorable.

F-83

Wag Labs, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, management did not believe that the outcome of pending matters would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Letters of Credit

The Company maintains certain stand-by letters of credit from third-party financial institutions in the ordinary course of business to guarantee certain performance obligations related to leases, insurance policies and other various contractual arrangements. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had letters of credit outstanding of $0.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

9.   Debt

In August 2020, the Company received loan proceeds of $5.1 million from a financial institution pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”) as administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). The application for these funds required the Company to, in good faith, certify that the current economic uncertainty made the loan request necessary to support the ongoing operations of the Company. This certification further required the Company to take into account its then current business activity and its ability to access other sources of liquidity sufficient to support ongoing operations in a manner that is not significantly detrimental to the business. The receipt of these funds, and the forgiveness of the loan attendant to these funds, was dependent on the Company having initially qualified for the loan and qualifying for the forgiveness of such loan based on its adherence to the forgiveness criteria.

In August 2021, the Company applied for forgiveness of $3.5 million of the PPP Loan, and in September 2021, the SBA approved the Company’s loan forgiveness application in the amount of $3.5 million. The term of the PPP Loan is five years with a maturity date of August 2025 and contains a fixed annual interest rate of 1.00%. Principal and interest payments began in November 2021.

Future minimum payments of the principal on the Company’s outstanding PPP loan as of March 31, 2022 were as follows (in thousands):

​	Amounts
2022 (remaining nine months)	​	$	332
2023	​	​	446
2024	​	​	451
2025	​	​	303
Total principal amount	​	$	1,532

10.   Stockholders’ Equity and Mezzanine Equity

Redeemable Preferred Stock — Mezzanine Equity

On January 28, 2022, The Company issued 1.1 million convertible preferred shares (“Series P”) in exchange for $11 million of cash. Series P was issued on substantially similar terms to the Company’s other convertible preferred share issuances, except for the Series P convertible share agreement contains an adjustment provision that provides for additional shares to be issued based on a formula if the proposed Merger is not completed, as defined the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

Preferred Stock Provisions

Dividends — The holders of preferred stock shall be entitled to receive dividends, out of any assets legally available therefore, on a pari passu basis prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any dividend (payable other than in shares of common stock) on the common stock of the Company, at the dividend rate, payable when, as and if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors. For the purpose of this section, dividend rate shall mean: $0.0554 per annum for each share of Series Seed Preferred, $0.1251 per annum for each share of Series A Preferred, $0.1793 per annum for each share of Series B Preferred, $0.4376 per annum for each share of Series C Preferred, and $0.80 per annum for each share of Series P Preferred. Further, the Company has never paid dividends, and as the dividends are non-cumulative, the Company does not anticipate paying dividends in the future.

Voting Rights — Each holder of Series Seed, Series A, Series B, Series C, and Series P Preferred is entitled to have voting rights. In addition to the separate votes of preferred stock, the shares can convert into common shares and thus have the same voting rights as common stockholders. As of March 31, 2022 and December, 31, 2021 the Common Stockholders can elect one member of the Board, Preferred Stockholders can elect three members of the Board, and the Common and Preferred Stockholders as a single class on an as converted basis elect the remaining one Board members. As of August 2021, the Company increased the Board size from five to seven, where the Common and Preferred Stockholders as a single class on an as converted basis elect the remaining three Board members.

Liquidation Preference — Should a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company commence, the holders of Series Seed, Series A, Series B and Series C Preferred will receive an aggregate amount equal to the original issue price pro rata according to the number of outstanding shares held by each holder. For the purpose of this section, original issue price shall mean, $0.6922 per Series Seed preferred share, $1.5643 per Series A preferred share, $2.2408 per Series B preferred share, $5.4703 per Series C preferred share, and $10.00 per Series P preferred share.

Conversion Rights — The convertible preferred shares of Series Seed, Series A, Series B, Series C, and Series P are convertible at the option of the holder at any time. Additionally, the instruments automatically

F-85

Wag Labs, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

convert into shares of common stock upon the affirmative election of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, or immediately upon the closing of a firmly underwritten public offering resulting in at least $24.5934 per share of public offering price and $175,000,000 of gross proceeds. Given that the conversion ratio is fixed at 1:1, the Company would issue a fixed number of shares of common stock and not a variable number of shares to settle the convertible preferred stock, unless a new round of common stock is issued. There was no benefit to any of the preferred stockholders to convert their shares into common stock as of their date of issuance as the fair value of common stock was consistently lower than the fair value of preferred stock for each round of preferred stock then outstanding. As such, the conversion features were not in the money at the commitment date, therefore no beneficial conversion feature exists.

The Preferred Stockholders’ have the ability to control the Board and influence decisions such as a liquidation or redemption events, which are outside of the control of the Company. Therefore, the preferred stock is presented within the mezzanine equity within the balance sheet for the respective periods.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company recorded no provision or benefit for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. At the end of each interim period, the Company estimates its annual effective tax rate and applies that rate to the interim earnings. The tax impact of certain unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and the effects of changes in tax laws or rates, are recorded in the interim period in which they occur. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained or as the tax environment changes. As of March 31, 2021 and 2022, and consistent with all prior periods, the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against all of it deferred tax assets in light of its history of cumulative net losses.

WHEREAS, as part of the Offering, the Company will to issue and deliver up to 11,000,000 warrants (or up to 12,650,000, warrants if the Over-allotment Option (as defined below) is exercised in full) to public investors in the Offering (the “Public Warrants”); and

WHEREAS, each Public Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase of one Ordinary Share for $11.50 per whole share, subject to adjustment as described herein; and

WHEREAS, on August 30, 2021, the Company entered into that certain Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreement with CHW Acquisition Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to purchase an aggregate of 4,000,000 warrants (or up to 4,262,500 warrants if the Over-allotment Option in connection with the Offering is exercised in full) (the “Private Placement Warrants”) simultaneously with the closing of the Offering (and the closing of the Over-allotment Option, if applicable), each Private Placement Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Ordinary Share for $11.50 per whole share; and

WHEREAS, in order to finance the Company’s transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination (as defined below), the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s executive officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan to the Company funds as the Company may require, of which up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into up to an additional 1,500,000 warrants (the “Working Capital Warrants”), for a purchase price of $1.00 per Working Capital Warrant, with each Working Capital Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share; and

WHEREAS, following consummation of the Offering, the Company may issue additional warrants to purchase ordinary shares (“Post IPO Warrants”; together with the Public Warrants, the Private Placement Warrants, and the Working Capital Warrants, collectively the “Warrants”) in connection with, or following the consummation by the Company of a Business Combination (defined below); and

WHEREAS, the Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-1, File No. 333-254422 (the “Registration Statement”) and prospectus (the “Prospectus”), for the registration for offer and sale, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of the Units, the Public Warrants, the Rights and the Ordinary Shares included in the Units; and

M-1

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.   Appointment of Warrant Agent.   The Company hereby appoints the Warrant Agent to act as agent for the Company for the Warrants, and the Warrant Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the same in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

2.   Warrants.

2.1   Form of Warrant.   Each Warrant shall be issued in registered form only, and, if a physical certificate is issued, shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, the provisions of which are incorporated herein and shall be signed by, or bear the facsimile signature of, the Chairman of the Board, President, a Co-Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary or other principal officer of the Company. In the event the person whose facsimile signature has been placed upon any Warrant shall have ceased to serve in the capacity in which such person signed the Warrant before such Warrant is issued, it may be issued with the same effect as if he or she had not ceased to be such at the date of issuance.

2.2   Effect of Countersignature.   If a physical certificate is issued, unless and until countersigned by the Warrant Agent pursuant to this Agreement, a Warrant certificate shall be invalid and of no effect and may not be exercised by the holder thereof.

2.3   Registration.

2.3.1 Warrant Register.   The Warrant Agent shall maintain books (the “Warrant Register”) for the registration of original issuance and the registration of transfer of the Warrants. Upon the initial issuance of the Warrants, the Warrant Agent shall issue and register the Warrants in the names of the respective holders thereof in such denominations and otherwise in accordance with instructions delivered to the Warrant Agent by the Company. All of the Public Warrants shall initially be represented by one or more book-entry certificates (each, a “Book-Entry Warrant Certificate”) deposited with The Depository Trust Company (the “Depositary”) and registered in the name of Cede & Co., a nominee of the Depositary. Ownership of beneficial interests in the Public Warrants shall be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership shall be effected through, records maintained by (i) the Depositary or its nominee for each Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, or (ii) institutions that have accounts with the Depositary (each such institution, with respect to a Warrant in its account, a “Participant”).

If the Depositary subsequently ceases to make its book-entry settlement system available for the Public Warrants, the Company may instruct the Warrant Agent regarding making other arrangements for book-entry settlement. In the event that the Public Warrants are not eligible for, or it is no longer necessary to have the Public Warrants available in, book-entry form, the Warrant Agent shall provide written instructions to the Depositary to deliver to the Warrant Agent for cancellation each book-entry Public Warrant, and the Company shall instruct the Warrant Agent to deliver to the Depositary definitive certificates in physical form evidencing such Warrants (“Definitive Warrant Certificate”). Such Definitive Warrant Certificate shall be in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A, with appropriate insertions, modifications and omissions, as provided above.

2.3.2 Registered Holder.   Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Warrant, the Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the person in whose name such Warrant is registered in the Warrant Register (the “Registered Holder”) as the absolute owner of such Warrant and of each Warrant represented thereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing on a Definitive Warrant Certificate made by anyone other than the Company or the Warrant Agent), for the purpose of any exercise thereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

2.4   Detachability of Warrants.   The Ordinary Shares and the Public Warrants comprising the Units may begin separate trading on the 52nd day following the date of the Prospectus or, if such 52nd day is not on a day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or federal holiday, on which banks in New York City are generally open for normal business (a “Business Day”), then on the immediately succeeding Business Day following such date, or earlier (the “Detachment Date”) with the consent of Chardan Capital Markets, LLC, as representative of the several underwriters, but in no event shall the Ordinary Shares and the Public Warrants

M-2

comprising the Units be separately traded until (A) the Company has filed a current report on Form 8-K with the Commission containing an audited balance sheet reflecting the receipt by the Company of the gross proceeds of the Offering, including the proceeds received by the Company from the exercise by the underwriters of their right to purchase additional Units in the Offering (the “Over-allotment Option”), if the Over-allotment Option is exercised prior to the filing of the Form 8-K, and (B) the Company issues a press release and files with the Commission a current report on Form 8-K announcing when such separate trading shall begin.

2.5   Post IPO Warrants.   As described above, in connection with additional capital raising efforts following completion of its Offering and during the term of this Agreement, the Company may desire to issue to third parties the Post IPO Warrants which Post IPO Warrants shall be issued in one of more offerings exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

2.6   Private Placement Warrants and Working Capital Warrants.   The Private Placement Warrants and the Working Capital Warrants shall be identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Working Capital Warrants may not be transferred, assigned or sold until thirty (30) days after the completion by the Company of an initial Business Combination (as defined below); provided, however, that the Private Placement Warrants and the Working Capital Warrants and any Ordinary Shares held by the Sponsor or any of its Permitted Transferees, as applicable, and issued upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and the Working Capital Warrants may be transferred by the holders thereof:

(a)

to the Company’s officers or directors, any affiliate or family member of any of the Company’s officers or directors, any affiliate of the Sponsor or to any member(s) of the Sponsor or any of their affiliates, officers, directors and direct and indirect equityholders;

(b)

in the case of an individual, by gift to a member such individual’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of such individual’s immediate family, an affiliate of such individual, or to a charitable organization;

(c)

in the case of an individual, by virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon death of such person;

(d)

in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order;

(e)

by private sales or transfers made in connection with the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination at prices no greater than the price at which the Warrants were originally purchased;

(f)

in the event of the Company’s liquidation prior to consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination; or

(g)

by virtue of the laws of the State of Delaware or the Sponsor’s operating agreement upon dissolution of the Sponsor;

provided, however, that, in the case of clauses (a) through (e) or (g), these transferees (the “Permitted Transferees”) must enter into a written agreement with the Company agreeing to be bound by the transfer restrictions in this Agreement.

2.7   Working Capital Warrants.   The Working Capital Warrants shall be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.

2.8   Post-IPO Warrants.   The Post-IPO Warrants, when and if issued, shall have the same terms and be in the same form as the Public Warrants except as may be agreed upon by the Company.

3.   Terms and Exercise of Warrants.

3.1   Warrant Price.   Each Warrant shall entitle the Registered Holder thereof, subject to the provisions of such Warrant and of this Agreement, to purchase from the Company the number of Ordinary Shares stated therein, at the price of $11.50 per whole share, subject to the adjustments provided in Section 4 hereof and in the last sentence of this Section 3.1. The term “Warrant Price” as used in this Agreement shall mean the price per share at which Ordinary Shares may be purchased at the time a Warrant is exercised.

M-3

The Company in its sole discretion may lower the Warrant Price at any time prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below) for a period of not less than twenty (20) Business Days, provided, that the Company shall provide at least twenty (20) days prior written notice of such reduction to Registered Holders of the Warrants and, provided further that any such reduction shall be identical among all of the Warrants.

3.2   Duration of Warrants.   A whole Warrant may be exercised only during the period (the “Exercise Period”) commencing on the later of the date that is: (i) the first date on which the Company completes a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, involving the Company and one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”), or (ii) twelve (12) months from the date of the closing of the Offering, and terminating at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the earliest to occur of: (x) the date that is five (5) years after the date on which the Company completes its initial Business Combination, (y) the liquidation of the Company in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, as amended from time to time, if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination, or (z) the Redemption Date (as defined below) as provided in Section 6.2 hereof (the “Expiration Date”); provided, however, that the exercise of any Warrant shall be subject to the satisfaction of any applicable conditions, as set forth in subsection 3.3.2 below with respect to an effective registration statement. Except with respect to the right to receive the Redemption Price (as defined below) in the event of a redemption (as set forth in Section 6 hereof), each outstanding Warrant not exercised on or before the Expiration Date shall become void, and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Agreement shall cease at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Expiration Date. The Company in its sole discretion may extend the duration of the Warrants by delaying the Expiration Date; provided, that the Company shall provide at least twenty (20) days prior written notice of any such extension to Registered Holders of the Warrants and, provided further that any such extension shall be identical in duration among all the Warrants.

3.3   Exercise of Warrants.

3.3.1 Payment.   Subject to the provisions of the Warrant and this Agreement, a Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder thereof by delivering to the Warrant Agent at its corporate trust department (i) the Definitive Warrant Certificate evidencing the Warrants to be exercised, or, in the case of a Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, the Warrants to be exercised (the “Book-Entry Warrants”) on the records of the Depositary to an account of the Warrant Agent at the Depositary designated for such purposes in writing by the Warrant Agent to the Depositary from time to time, (ii) an election to purchase (“Election to Purchase”) Ordinary Shares pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant, properly completed and executed by the Registered Holder on the reverse of the Definitive Warrant Certificate or, in the case of a Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, properly delivered by the Participant in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures, and (iii) payment in full of the Warrant Price for each full Ordinary Share as to which the Warrant is exercised and any and all applicable taxes due in connection with the exercise of the Warrant, the exchange of the Warrant for the Ordinary Shares and the issuance of such Ordinary Shares, as follows:

(a)

in lawful money of the United States, in good certified check or good bank draft payable to the order of the Warrant Agent or by wire transfer;

(b)

in the event of a redemption pursuant to Section 6 hereof in which the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) has elected to require all holders of the Warrants to exercise such Warrants on a “cashless basis,” by surrendering the Warrants for that number of Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “Fair Market Value”, as defined in this subsection 3.3.1(b), over the Warrant Price by (y) the Fair Market Value. Solely for purposes of this subsection 3.3.1(b) and Section 6.3, the “Fair Market Value” shall mean the average last sale price of the Ordinary Shares for the ten (10) trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of the Warrants, pursuant to Section 6 hereof;

(c)

as provided in Section 7.4 hereof.

3.3.2 Issuance of Ordinary Shares on Exercise.   As soon as practicable after the exercise of any Warrant and the clearance of the funds in payment of the Warrant Price (if payment is pursuant to

M-4

subsection 3.3.1(a)), the Company shall issue to the Registered Holder of such Warrant a book-entry position or certificate, as applicable, for the number of full Ordinary Shares to which he, she or it is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by him, her or it, and if such Warrant shall not have been exercised in full, a new book-entry position or countersigned Warrant, as applicable, for the number of Ordinary Shares as to which such Warrant shall not have been exercised. Subject to Section 4.6, a registered holder of Warrants may exercise its Warrants only for a whole number of Ordinary Shares (i.e., only an even number of Warrants may be exercised at any given time by a registered holder). If fewer than all the Warrants evidenced by a Book Entry Warrant Certificate are exercised, a notation shall be made to the records maintained by the Depositary, its nominee for each Book Entry Warrant Certificate, or a Participant, as appropriate, evidencing the balance of the Warrants remaining after such exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to issue any Ordinary Shares pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant and shall have no obligation to settle such Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Ordinary Shares underlying the Public Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company’s satisfying its obligations under Section 7.4. No Warrant shall be exercisable and the Company shall not be obligated to issue Ordinary Shares upon exercise of a Warrant unless the Ordinary Shares issuable upon such Warrant exercise have been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt from registration or qualification under the securities laws of the state of residence of the Registered Holder of the Warrants, except pursuant to Section 7.4. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a Warrant, the holder of such Warrant shall not be entitled to exercise such Warrant and such Warrant may have no value and expire worthless, in which case the purchaser of a Unit containing such Public Warrants shall have paid the full purchase price for the Unit solely for the Ordinary Shares underlying such Unit. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Warrant exercise. The Company may require holders of Public Warrants to settle the Warrant on a “cashless basis” pursuant to subsection 3.3.1(b) and Section 7.4. If, by reason of any exercise of Warrants on a “cashless basis”, the holder of any Warrant would be entitled, upon the exercise of such Warrant, to receive a fractional interest in an Ordinary Share, the Company shall round down to the nearest whole number, the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued to such holder.

3.3.3 Valid Issuance.   All Ordinary Shares issued upon the proper exercise of a Warrant in conformity with this Agreement and the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

3.3.4 Date of Issuance.   Upon proper exercise of a Warrant, the Company shall instruct the Warrant Agent, in writing, to make the necessary entries in the register of members of the Company in respect of the Ordinary Shares and to issue a certificate if requested by the holder of such Warrant. Each person in whose name any book-entry position in the register of members of the Company or certificate, as applicable, for Ordinary Shares is issued shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Ordinary Shares on the date on which the Warrant, or book-entry position in the register of members of the Company representing such Warrant, was surrendered and payment of the Warrant Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate in the case of a certificated Warrant, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the register of members or share transfer books of the Company or book-entry system of the Warrant Agent are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such Ordinary Shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the register of members, share transfer books or book-entry system are open.

3.3.5 Maximum Percentage.   A holder of a Warrant may notify the Company in writing in the event it elects to be subject to the provisions contained in this subsection 3.3.5; however, no holder of a Warrant shall be subject to this subsection 3.3.5 unless he, she or it makes such election. If the election is made by a holder, the Warrant Agent shall not effect the exercise of the holder’s Warrant, and such holder shall not have the right to exercise such Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person’s affiliates), to the Warrant Agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 9.8% (or such other amount as a holder may specify) (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by such person and its affiliates shall include the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude Ordinary Shares that would be issuable upon (x) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of the Warrant beneficially owned by such person and

M-5

its affiliates and (y) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by such person and its affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred shares or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). For purposes of the Warrant, in determining the number of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares, the holder may rely on the number of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly report on Form 10-Q, current report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Commission as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written request of the holder of the Warrant, the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days, confirm orally and in writing to such holder the number of Ordinary Shares then issued and outstanding. In any case, the number of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of equity securities of the Company by the holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares was reported. By written notice to the Company, the holder of a Warrant may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage applicable to such holder to any other percentage specified in such notice; provided, however, that any such increase shall not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company.

4.   Adjustments.

4.1   Share Capitalizations.

4.1.1 Split-Ups.   If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 4.6 below, the number of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares is increased by a capitalization of Ordinary Shares, or by a split of Ordinary Shares or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such share capitalization, split or similar event, the number of Ordinary Shares issuable on exercise of each Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. A rights offering to holders of the Ordinary Shares entitling holders to purchase Ordinary Shares at a price less than the “Fair Market Value” ​(as defined below) shall be deemed a capitalization of a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the product of (i) the number of Ordinary Shares actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for Ordinary Shares) and (ii) one (1) minus the quotient of (x) the price per Ordinary Share paid in such rights offering divided by (y) the Fair Market Value. For purposes of this subsection 4.1.1, (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for the Ordinary Shares, in determining the price payable for Ordinary Shares, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) “Fair Market Value” means the volume weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the Ordinary Shares trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.

4.1.2 Extraordinary Dividends.   If the Company, at any time while the Warrants are outstanding and unexpired, shall pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of Ordinary Shares on account of such Ordinary Shares (or other shares of the Company into which the Warrants are convertible), other than (a) as described in subsection 4.1.1 above, (b) Ordinary Cash Dividends (as defined below), (c) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of the Ordinary Shares in connection with a proposed initial Business Combination, (d) as a result of the repurchase of Ordinary Shares by the Company if a proposed initial Business Combination is presented to the shareholders of the Company for approval to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of the Ordinary Shares in connection with a vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association as provided therein to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete the Business Combination within the period set forth in the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, or (e) in connection with the redemption of public shares upon the failure of the Company to complete its initial Business Combination and any subsequent distribution of its assets upon its liquidation (any such non-excluded event being referred to herein

M-6

as an “Extraordinary Dividend”), then the Warrant Price shall be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such Extraordinary Dividend, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value (as determined by the Board, in good faith) of any securities or other assets paid on each Ordinary Share in respect of such Extraordinary Dividend. For purposes of this subsection 4.1.2, “Ordinary Cash Dividends” means any cash dividend or cash distribution which, when combined on a per share basis, with the per share amounts of all other cash dividends and cash distributions paid on the Ordinary Shares during the 365‑day period ending on the date of declaration of such dividend or distribution (as adjusted to appropriately reflect any of the events referred to in other subsections of this Section 4 and excluding cash dividends or cash distributions that resulted in an adjustment to the Warrant Price or to the number of Ordinary Shares issuable on exercise of each Warrant) does not exceed $0.50 (being 5% of the offering price of the Units in the Offering).

4.2   Aggregation of Shares.   If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 4.6 hereof, the number of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse share split or redesignation of Ordinary Shares or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse share split, redesignation or similar event, the number of Ordinary Shares issuable on exercise of each Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares.

4.3   Adjustments in Exercise Price.

4.3.1 Whenever the number of Ordinary Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants is adjusted, as provided in subsection 4.1.1 or Section 4.2 above, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) by multiplying such Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of Ordinary Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of Ordinary Shares so purchasable immediately thereafter.

4.3.2 If the Company issues additional Ordinary Shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of its initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.50 per Ordinary Share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like), with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Board (and in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any founder shares held 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 its initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of its initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Ordinary Shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.50 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like), then the Warrant Price shall 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 Redemption Trigger Price (as defined below) will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 165% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

4.4   Replacement of Securities upon Reorganization, etc.   In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares (other than a change under subsections 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 or Section 4.2 hereof or that solely affects the par value of such Ordinary Shares), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the holders of the Warrants shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the Warrants and in lieu of the Ordinary Shares of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the Warrants

would have received if such holder had exercised his, her or its Warrant(s) immediately prior to such event. If any reclassification also results in a change in the Ordinary Shares covered by subsection 4.1.1 or Section 4.1.2 or Section 4.2 hereof, then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to subsection 4.1.1 or Section 4.1.2 or Section 4.2 hereof and this Section 4.4. The provisions of this Section 4.4 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or consolidations, sales or other transfers. In no event will the Warrant Price be reduced to less than the par value per share issuable upon exercise of the Warrant.

4.5   Notices of Changes in Warrant.   Upon every adjustment of the Warrant Price or the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Warrant Agent, which notice shall state the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of Ordinary Shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of a Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4, the Company shall give written notice of the occurrence of such event to each holder of a Warrant, at the last address set forth for such holder in the Warrant Register, of the record date or the effective date of the event. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event.

4.6   No Fractional Shares.   Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not issue fractional Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of Warrants. If, by reason of any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4, the holder of any Warrant would be entitled, upon the exercise of such Warrant, to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company shall, upon such exercise, round down to the nearest whole number, the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued to such holder.

4.7   Form of Warrant.   The form of Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4, and Warrants issued after such adjustment may state the same Warrant Price and the same number of Ordinary Shares as is stated in the Warrants initially issued pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company may at any time in its sole discretion make any change in the form of Warrant that the Company may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof, and any Warrant thereafter issued or countersigned, whether in exchange or substitution for an outstanding Warrant or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed.

4.8   Other Events.   In case any event shall occur affecting the Company as to which none of the provisions of preceding subsections of this Section 4 are strictly applicable, but which would require an adjustment to the terms of the Warrants in order to (i) avoid an adverse impact on the Warrants and (ii) effectuate the intent and purpose of this Section 4, then, in each such case, the Company shall appoint a firm of independent public accountants, investment banking or other appraisal firm of recognized national standing, which shall give its opinion as to whether or not any adjustment to the rights represented by the Warrants is necessary to effectuate the intent and purpose of this Section 4 and, if they determine that an adjustment is necessary, the terms of such adjustment; provided, however, that under no circumstances shall the Warrants be adjusted pursuant to this Section 4.8 as a result of any issuance of securities in connection with a Business Combination. The Company shall adjust the terms of the Warrants in a manner that is consistent with any adjustment recommended in such opinion.

5.   Transfer and Exchange of Warrants.

5.1   Registration of Transfer.   The Warrant Agent shall register the transfer, from time to time, of any outstanding Warrant upon the Warrant Register, upon surrender of such Warrant for transfer, in the case of certificated Warrants, properly endorsed with signatures properly guaranteed and accompanied by appropriate instructions for transfer. Upon any such transfer, a new Warrant representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants shall be issued and the old Warrant shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent. In the case of certificated Warrants, the Warrants so cancelled shall be delivered by the Warrant Agent to the Company from time to time upon request.

5.2   Procedure for Surrender of Warrants.   Warrants may be surrendered to the Warrant Agent, together with a written request for exchange or transfer, and thereupon the Warrant Agent shall issue in exchange therefor one or more new Warrants as requested by the Registered Holder of the Warrants so surrendered, representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants; provided, however, that except as otherwise

M-8

provided herein or in any Book Entry Warrant Certificate or Definitive Warrant Certificate, each Book Entry Warrant Certificate and Definitive Warrant Certificate may be transferred only in whole and only to the Depositary, to another nominee of the Depositary, to a successor depository, or to a nominee of a successor depository; provided further, however, that in the event that a Warrant surrendered for transfer bears a restrictive legend (as in the case of the Private Placement Warrants and Working Capital Warrants), the Warrant Agent shall not cancel such Warrant and issue new Warrants in exchange thereof until the Warrant Agent has received an opinion of counsel for the Company stating that such transfer may be made and indicating whether the new Warrants must also bear a restrictive legend.

5.3   Fractional Warrants.   The Warrant Agent shall not be required to effect any registration of transfer or exchange which shall result in the issuance of a warrant certificate or book-entry position for a fraction of a warrant.

5.4   Service Charges.   No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Warrants.

5.5   Warrant Execution and Countersignature.   The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to countersign and to deliver, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Warrants required to be issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5, and the Company, whenever required by the Warrant Agent, shall supply the Warrant Agent with Warrants duly executed on behalf of the Company for such purpose.

5.6   Transfer of Warrants.   Prior to the Detachment Date, the Public Warrants may be transferred or exchanged only together with the Unit in which such Warrant is included, and only for the purpose of effecting, or in conjunction with, a transfer or exchange of such Unit. Furthermore, each transfer of a Unit on the register relating to such Units shall operate also to transfer the Warrants included in such Unit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 5.6 shall have no effect on any transfer of Warrants on and after the Detachment Date.

6.   Redemption.

6.1   Redemption.   Not less than all of the outstanding Warrants may be redeemed, at the option of the Company, at any time while they are exercisable and prior to their expiration, at the office of the Warrant Agent, upon notice to the Registered Holders of the Warrants, as described in Section 6.2 below, at the price of $0.01 per Warrant (the “Redemption Price”), provided that the last sales price of the Ordinary Shares reported has been at least $16.50 per share (subject to adjustment in compliance with Section 4 hereof), on each of twenty (20) trading days within the thirty (30) trading-day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which notice of the redemption is given and provided that there is an effective registration statement covering the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and a current prospectus relating thereto, available throughout the 30-day Redemption Period (as defined in Section 6.2 below) or the Company has elected to require the exercise of the Warrants on a “cashless basis” pursuant to subsection 3.3.1; provided, however, that if and when the Public Warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may not exercise such redemption right if the issuance of Ordinary Shares upon exercise of the Public Warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or the Company is unable to effect such registration or qualification.

6.2   Date Fixed for, and Notice of, Redemption.   In the event that the Company elects to redeem all of the Warrants, the Company shall fix a date for the redemption (the “Redemption Date”). Notice of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, by the Company not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Redemption Date (the “30-day Redemption Period”) to the Registered Holders of the Warrants to be redeemed at their last addresses as they shall appear on the registration books. Any notice mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the Registered Holder received such notice.

6.3   Exercise After Notice of Redemption.   The Warrants may be exercised, for cash (or on a “cashless basis” in accordance with subsection 3.3.1(b) of this Agreement) at any time after notice of redemption shall have been given by the Company pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof and prior to the Redemption Date. In the event that the Company determines to require all holders of Warrants to exercise their Warrants on a “cashless basis” pursuant to subsection 3.3.1, the notice of redemption shall contain the

M-9

information necessary to calculate the number of Ordinary Shares to be received upon exercise of the Warrants, including the “Fair Market Value” ​(as such term is defined in subsection 3.3.1(b) hereof) in such case. On and after the Redemption Date, the record holder of the Warrants shall have no further rights except to receive, upon surrender of the Warrants, the Redemption Price.

7.   Other Provisions Relating to Rights of Holders of Warrants.

7.1   No Rights as Shareholder.   A Warrant does not entitle the Registered Holder thereof to any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to receive dividends, or other distributions, exercise any preemptive rights to vote or to consent or to receive notice as shareholders in respect of the general meetings or the election of directors of the Company or any other matter.

7.2   Lost, Stolen, Mutilated, or Destroyed Warrants.   If any Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed, the Company and the Warrant Agent may on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as they may in their discretion impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination, tenor, and date as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

7.3   Reservation of Ordinary Shares.   The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available a number of its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares that shall be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants issued pursuant to this Agreement.

7.4   Registration of Ordinary Shares; Cashless Exercise at Company’s Option.

7.4.1 Registration of the Ordinary Shares.   The Company agrees that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the closing of its initial Business Combination, it shall use its best efforts to file with the Commission a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The Company shall 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 this Agreement. If any such registration statement has not been declared effective by the 60th Business Day following the closing of the Business Combination, holders of the Warrants shall have the right, during the period beginning on the 61st Business Day after the closing of the Business Combination and ending upon such registration statement being declared effective by the Commission, and during any other period when the Company shall fail to have maintained an effective registration statement covering the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, to exercise such Warrants on a “cashless basis,” by exchanging the Warrants (in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act (or any successor rule) or another exemption) for that number of Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrants, multiplied by the difference between the Warrant Price and the “Fair Market Value” ​(as defined below) by (y) the Fair Market Value. Solely for purposes of this subsection 7.4.1, “Fair Market Value” shall mean the volume weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the date that notice of exercise is received by the Warrant Agent from the holder of such Warrants or its securities broker or intermediary. The date that notice of cashless exercise is received by the Warrant Agent shall be conclusively determined by the Warrant Agent. In connection with the “cashless exercise” of a Public Warrant, the Company shall, upon request, provide the Warrant Agent with an opinion of counsel for the Company (which shall be an outside law firm with securities law experience) stating that (i) the exercise of the Warrants on a cashless basis in accordance with this subsection 7.4.1 is not required to be registered under the Securities Act and (ii) the Ordinary Shares issued upon such exercise shall be freely tradable under United States federal securities laws by anyone who is not an affiliate (as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor statute)) of the Company and, accordingly, shall not be required to bear a restrictive legend. Except as provided in subsection 7.4.2, for the avoidance of any doubt, unless and until all of the Warrants have been exercised or have expired, the Company shall continue to be obligated to comply with its registration obligations under the first three sentences of this subsection 7.4.1.

7.4.2 Cashless Exercise at Company’s Option.   If the Ordinary Shares are at the time of any exercise of a Warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered

M-10

security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act (or any successor statute), the Company may, at its option, (i) require holders of Public Warrants who exercise Public Warrants to exercise such Public Warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act (or any successor statute) as described in subsection 7.4.1 and (ii) in the event the Company so elects, the Company shall not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary. If the Company does not elect at the time of exercise to require a holder of Public Warrants who exercises Public Warrants to exercise such Public Warrants on a “cashless basis,” it agrees to use its best efforts to register or qualify for sale the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrant under the blue sky laws of the state of residence of the exercising Public Warrant holder to the extent an exemption is not available.

8.   Concerning the Warrant Agent and Other Matters.

8.1   Payment of Taxes.   The Company shall from time to time promptly pay all taxes and charges that may be imposed upon the Company or the Warrant Agent in respect of the issuance or delivery of Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of the Warrants, but the Company shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in respect of the Warrants or such Ordinary Shares.

8.2   Resignation, Consolidation, or Merger of Warrant Agent.

8.2.1 Appointment of Successor Warrant Agent.   The Warrant Agent, or any successor to it hereafter appointed, may resign its duties and be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder after giving sixty (60) days’ notice in writing to the Company. If the office of the Warrant Agent becomes vacant by resignation or incapacity to act or otherwise, the Company shall appoint in writing a successor Warrant Agent in place of the Warrant Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of thirty (30) days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the Warrant Agent or by the holder of a Warrant (who shall, with such notice, submit his Warrant for inspection by the Company), then the holder of any Warrant may apply to the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York for the appointment of a successor Warrant Agent at the Company’s cost. Any successor Warrant Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such court, shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of New York, in good standing and having its principal office in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, and authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. After appointment, any successor Warrant Agent shall be vested with all the authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties, and obligations of its predecessor Warrant Agent with like effect as if originally named as Warrant Agent hereunder, without any further act or deed; but if for any reason it becomes necessary or appropriate, the predecessor Warrant Agent shall execute and deliver, at the expense of the Company, an instrument transferring to such successor Warrant Agent all the authority, powers, and rights of such predecessor Warrant Agent hereunder; and upon request of any successor Warrant Agent the Company shall make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver any and all instruments in writing for more fully and effectually vesting in and confirming to such successor Warrant Agent all such authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties, and obligations.

8.2.2 Notice of Successor Warrant Agent.   In the event a successor Warrant Agent shall be appointed, the Company shall give notice thereof to the predecessor Warrant Agent and the Transfer Agent for the Ordinary Shares not later than the effective date of any such appointment.

8.2.3 Merger or Consolidation of Warrant Agent.   Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party shall be the successor Warrant Agent under this Agreement without any further act.

8.3   Fees and Expenses of Warrant Agent.

8.3.1 Remuneration.   The Company agrees to pay the Warrant Agent reasonable remuneration for its services as such Warrant Agent hereunder and shall, pursuant to its obligations under this Agreement, reimburse the Warrant Agent upon demand for all expenditures that the Warrant Agent may reasonably incur in the execution of its duties hereunder.

M-11

8.3.2 Further Assurances.   The Company agrees to perform, execute, acknowledge, and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged, and delivered all such further and other acts, instruments, and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Warrant Agent for the carrying out or performing of the provisions of this Agreement.

8.4   Liability of Warrant Agent.

8.4.1 Reliance on Company Statement.   Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement, the Warrant Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be proved or established by the Company prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a statement signed by a Co-Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Executive Vice President, Vice President, Secretary or Chairman of the Board of the Company and delivered to the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent may rely upon such statement for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

8.4.2 Indemnity.   The Warrant Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. The Company agrees to indemnify the Warrant Agent and save it harmless against any and all liabilities, including judgments, costs and reasonable counsel fees, for anything done or omitted by the Warrant Agent in the execution of this Agreement, except as a result of the Warrant Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

8.4.3 Exclusions.   The Warrant Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the validity of this Agreement or with respect to the validity or execution of any Warrant (except its countersignature thereof). The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any breach by the Company of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any Warrant. The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible to make any adjustments required under the provisions of Section 4 hereof or responsible for the manner, method, or amount of any such adjustment or the ascertaining of the existence of facts that would require any such adjustment; nor shall it by any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or any Warrant or as to whether any Ordinary Shares shall, when issued, be valid and fully paid and non-assessable.

8.5   Acceptance of Agency.   The Warrant Agent hereby accepts the agency established by this Agreement and agrees to perform the same upon the terms and conditions herein set forth and among other things, shall account promptly to the Company with respect to Warrants exercised and concurrently account for, and pay to the Company, all monies received by the Warrant Agent for the purchase of Ordinary Shares through the exercise of the Warrants.

8.6   Waiver.   The Warrant Agent has no right of set-off or any other right, title, interest or claim of any kind (“Claim”) in, or to any distribution of, the Trust Account (as defined in that certain Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and between the Company and the Warrant Agent as trustee thereunder) and hereby agrees not to seek recourse, reimbursement, payment or satisfaction for any Claim against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever. The Warrant Agent hereby waives any and all Claims against the Trust Account and any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account.

9.   Miscellaneous Provisions.

9.1   Successors.   All the covenants and provisions of this Agreement by or for the benefit of the Company or the Warrant Agent shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.

9.2   Notices.   Any notice, statement or demand authorized by this Agreement to be given or made by the Warrant Agent or by the holder of any Warrant to or on the Company shall be sufficiently given when so delivered if by hand or overnight delivery or if sent by certified mail or private courier service within five (5) days after deposit of such notice, postage prepaid, addressed (until another address is filed in writing by the Company with the Warrant Agent), as follows:

9.3   Applicable Law and Exclusive Forum.

9.3.1 The validity, interpretation, and performance of this Agreement and of the Warrants shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. Each of the Company and the Warrant Agent hereby agrees that any action, proceeding or claim against it arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement shall be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and irrevocably submits to such jurisdiction. Each of the Company and the Warrant Agent hereby waives any objection to such jurisdiction and that such courts represent an inconvenient forum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this exclusive forum provision shall not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), as amended, any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction or any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act against us or any of our directors, officers, other employees or agents. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.

9.3.2 Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in the Warrants shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the forum provisions in this Section 9.3. If any action, the subject matter of which is within the scope the forum provisions above, is filed in a court other than a court located within the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (a “foreign action”) in the name of any warrant holder, such warrant holder shall be deemed to have consented to: (x) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the forum provisions (an “enforcement action”), and (y) having service of process made upon such warrant holder in any such enforcement action by service upon such warrant holder’s counsel in the foreign action as agent for such warrant holder.

9.4   Persons Having Rights under this Agreement.   Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to confer upon, or give to, any person or corporation other than the parties hereto and the Registered Holders of the Warrants any right, remedy, or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or of any covenant, condition, stipulation, promise, or agreement hereof. All covenants, conditions, stipulations, promises, and agreements contained in this Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and assigns and of the Registered Holders of the Warrants.

9.5   Examination of the Warrant Agreement.   A copy of this Agreement shall be available at all reasonable times at the office of the Warrant Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New

M-13

York, for inspection by the Registered Holder of any Warrant. The Warrant Agent may require any such holder to submit such holder’s Warrant for inspection by the Warrant Agent.

9.6   Counterparts.   This Agreement may be executed in any number of original or facsimile counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

9.7   Effect of Headings.   The section headings herein are for convenience only and are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the interpretation thereof.

9.8   Amendments.   This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto without the consent of any Registered Holder (i) for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, or curing, correcting or supplementing any defective provision contained herein or adding or changing any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement as the parties may deem necessary or desirable and that the parties deem shall not adversely affect the interest of the Registered Holders, and (ii) to provide for the delivery of Alternative Issuance pursuant to Section 4.4. All other modifications or amendments, including any amendment to increase the Warrant Price or shorten the Exercise Period, shall require the vote or written consent of the Registered Holders of a majority of the then outstanding Public Warrants. Any amendment solely to the Private Placement Warrants or the Working Capital Warrants shall require the vote or written consent of a majority of the holders of the then outstanding Private Placement Warrants and the Working Capital Warrants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may lower the Warrant Price or extend the duration of the Exercise Period pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, without the consent of the Registered Holders.

9.9   Severability.   This Agreement shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision hereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or of any other term or provision hereof. Furthermore, in lieu of any such invalid or unenforceable term or provision, the parties hereto intend that there shall be added as a part of this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be valid and enforceable.

Warrant Certificate

This Warrant Certificate certifies that , or registered assigns, is the registered holder of warrant(s) evidenced hereby (the “Warrants” and each, a “Warrant”) to purchase ordinary shares, of $0.0001 par value per share (“Ordinary Shares”), of CHW Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”). Each Warrant entitles the holder, upon exercise during the period set forth in the Warrant Agreement referred to below, to receive from the Company that number of fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Shares as set forth below, at the exercise price (the “Warrant Price”) as determined pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, payable in lawful money (or through “cashless exercise” as provided for in the Warrant Agreement) of the United States of America upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate and payment of the Warrant Price at the office or agency of the Warrant Agent referred to below, subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Warrant Agreement. Defined terms used in this Warrant Certificate but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Warrant Agreement.

Each whole Warrant is initially exercisable for one fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Share. A registered holder of Warrants may exercise its Warrants only for a whole number of Ordinary Shares (i.e., only an even number of Warrants may be exercised at any given time by a registered holder). No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of any Warrant. If, upon the exercise of Warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in an Ordinary Share, the Company will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number of Ordinary Shares to be issued to the Warrant holder. The number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events set forth in the Warrant Agreement.

The initial Warrant Price per whole Ordinary Share for any Warrant is equal to $11.50 per share. The Warrant Price is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events set forth in the Warrant Agreement.

Subject to the conditions set forth in the Warrant Agreement, the Warrants may be exercised only during the Warrant Period and to the extent not exercised by the end of such Exercise Period, such Warrants shall become void.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Warrant Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof and such further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as though fully set forth at this place.

This Warrant Certificate shall not be valid unless countersigned by the Warrant Agent, as such term is used in the Warrant Agreement.

This Warrant Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof.

The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are part of a duly authorized issue of Warrants entitling the holder on exercise to receive Ordinary Shares and are issued or to be issued pursuant to a Warrant Agreement dated as of , 2021 (the “Warrant Agreement”), duly executed and delivered by the Company to VStock Transfer, LLC, a New York limited liability company, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”), which Warrant Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference in and made a part of this instrument and is hereby referred to for a description of the rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Warrant Agent, the Company and the holders (the words “holders” or “holder” meaning the Registered Holders or Registered Holder, respectively) of the Warrants. A copy of the Warrant Agreement may be obtained by the holder hereof upon written request to the Company. Defined terms used in this Warrant Certificate but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Warrant Agreement.

Warrants may be exercised at any time during the Exercise Period set forth in the Warrant Agreement. The holder of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate may exercise them by surrendering this Warrant Certificate, with the form of election to purchase set forth hereon properly completed and executed, together with payment of the Warrant Price as specified in the Warrant Agreement (or through “cashless exercise” as provided for in the Warrant Agreement) at the principal corporate trust office of the Warrant Agent. In the event that upon any exercise of Warrants evidenced hereby the number of Warrants exercised shall be less than the total number of Warrants evidenced hereby, there shall be issued to the holder hereof or his, her or its assignee, a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the number of Warrants not exercised.

Notwithstanding anything else in this Warrant Certificate or the Warrant Agreement, no Warrant may be exercised unless at the time of exercise (i) a registration statement covering the Ordinary Shares to be issued upon exercise is effective under the Securities Act and (ii) a prospectus thereunder relating to the Ordinary Shares is current, except through “cashless exercise” as provided for in the Warrant Agreement.

The Warrant Agreement provides that upon the occurrence of certain events the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants set forth on the face hereof may, subject to certain conditions, be adjusted. If, upon exercise of a Warrant, the holder thereof would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in an Ordinary Share, the Company shall, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number of Ordinary Shares to be issued to the holder of the Warrant.

Warrant Certificates, when surrendered at the principal corporate trust office of the Warrant Agent by the Registered Holder thereof in person or by legal representative or attorney duly authorized in writing, may be exchanged, in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement, but without payment of any service charge, for another Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like tenor evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants.

PART II:   INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The Cayman Islands Companies Act does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors. However, such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be unenforceable, to the extent it seeks to indemnify or exculpate a fiduciary in respect of their actual fraud or willful default, or for the consequences of committing a crime. CHW’s Existing Organizational Documents provide for indemnification of its officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by law, including for any liability incurred in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud, willful default or willful neglect. CHW has also entered into agreements with its directors and officers to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided for in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. CHW has also purchased a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures its officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures CHW against its obligations to indemnify its officers and directors.

Such limitation of liability and indemnification does not affect the availability of equitable remedies. In addition, CHW has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

New Wag! will be governed by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (the “DGCL”). Section 145 of the DGCL (“Section 145”) provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnification may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had No reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. Section 145 also provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of such corporation, under the same conditions, except that such indemnification is limited to expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person, and except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if such person is adjudged to be liable to such corporation. Where an officer or director of a corporation is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above, or any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation must indemnify that person against the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) which such officer or director actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith.

Section 145 further authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under Section 145.

The Registrant’s Proposed Charter and Proposed Bylaws provide that New Wag! will indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law any person made or threatened to be made a party to an action or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he, his testator or intestate is or was a director, officer or employee of New Wag! or any predecessor of New Wag!, or serves or served at any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise as a director, officer, employee or agent at the request of New Wag! or any predecessor of New Wag!.

II-1

The Registrant’s Proposed Bylaws provide for mandatory indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by DGCL against all expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlements.

The Registrant’s Proposed Charter eliminates the liability of a director of New Wag! to the fullest extent under applicable law. Pursuant to Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, a corporation may eliminate the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liabilities arising (i) from any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) from acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) from any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

These provisions may be held not to be enforceable for certain violations of the federal securities laws of the United States.

The Registrant’s directors and executive officers are covered by insurance maintained by New Wag! against specified liabilities for actions taken in their capacities as such, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In addition, CHW has entered into contracts with its directors and executive officers providing indemnification of such directors and executive officers by CHW to the fullest extent permitted by law, subject to certain limited exceptions.

Item 22. Undertakings

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement (notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent No more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement); and (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

(2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4)

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of securities, in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: (i) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (ii) any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; (iii) the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and (iv) any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(5)

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that No statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(6)

That, prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the registrant undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.

II-4

(7)

That every prospectus (i) that is filed pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment has become effective, and that for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(8)

To respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first-class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

(9)

To supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of, and included in, this registration statement when it became effective.

(10)

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

II-5

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the registrant has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the city of New York, New York, on the 7th day of July, 2022.
