NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2022

(UNAUDITED)

Note 1—Description of Organization and Business Operations

OceanTech Acquisitions I Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from February 3, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2022 relates to the Company’s formation and the public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) as defined below, and, since the closing of the initial public offering, a search for a Business Combination candidate. 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 on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.

The Company’s sponsor is OceanTech Acquisitions I Sponsors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).

Financing

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on May 27, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). On June 2, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 10,000,000 units (the “Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $100,000,000, which is discussed in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Units, the Company consummated the private placement sale (“Private Placement”) of an aggregate 4,571,000 warrants (“Private Placement Warrants”), of which 3,871,000 Private Placement Warrants were purchased by the Sponsor and 700,000 Private Placement Warrants were purchased by Maxim Group LLC and/or its designees (“Maxim”), at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of $4,571,000.

Transaction costs of the Initial Public Offering amounted to $7,482,451 consisting of $2,065,200 of underwriting discount, $3,614,100 of deferred underwriting discount, $1,033,633 in fair value of representative shares issued and  $769,518 of other offering costs. Of the transaction costs, $690,542 were charged to operations for the portion related to warrants and $6,791,909 were included as offering costs and charged against equity.

The Company granted the underwriter in the Initial Public Offering a 45-day option to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On June 17, 2021, the underwriter partially exercised the over-allotment option to purchase 326,000 additional Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”), generating an aggregate of gross proceeds of $3,260,000, and incurred $65,200 in cash underwriting fees.

On June 2, 2022, the Company closed and offering to private investors which included issuance of 1,548,900 Private Warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. Proceeds of the offering were deposited in the Company’s Trust account for its public stockholders, representing $0.15 per public share, allowing the Company to extend the period of time it has to consummate its initial business combination by six months from June 2, 2022, to December 2, 2022 (the “Extension”). The Extension is permitted under the Company’s governing documents.

On August 10, 2022, the Company, OceanTech Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), and OceanTech Acquisitions I Sponsors, LLC, the Company’s sponsor (the “Sponsor”), entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Captura Biopharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Target”, and together with the Company and Merger Sub, the “Parties”) and Michael Geranen, as seller representative (“Geranen”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon the Closing of the Business Combination, we would effect the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Target, with the Target continuing as the surviving entity (the “Merger”), as a result of which all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Target would be exchanged for shares of

5

the Class A Common Stock of the Company upon the terms set forth as follows: the Target’s shareholders collectively shall be entitled to receive from the Company, in the aggregate, a number of Company’s securities with an aggregate value equal to (a) $200,000,000 minus (b) the amount, if any, by which the Target’s net working capital amount exceeds the net working capital amount (but not less than zero), minus (c) the amount of Closing Net Indebtedness (as defined in the Merger Agreement) minus (d) the amount of any transaction expenses, provided that the merger consideration otherwise payable to the Target’s shareholders is subject to adjustment after the Closing in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

The obligations of the parties to consummate the Business Combination was subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions of the respective parties, including, without limitation: (a) the representations and warranties of the respective Parties being true and correct subject to the materiality standards contained in the Merger Agreement; (b) material compliance by the Parties of their respective pre-closing covenants and agreements, subject to the standards contained in the Merger Agreement; (c) the approval by the Company’s stockholders of the Business Combination; (d) the approval by the Target’s stockholders of the Business Combination; (e) the absence of any Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement) with respect to the Company or with respect to the Target since the effective date of the Merger Agreement that is continuing and uncured; (f) the election of the members of the post-Closing Board consistent with the provisions of the Merger Agreement, a majority of which are to be independent in accordance with the Nasdaq rules; (g) the Company having at least $5,000,001 in tangible net assets upon the Closing; (h) the entry into certain ancillary agreements as of the Closing; (i) the lack of any notice or communication from, or position of, the SEC requiring the Company to amend or supplement the Prospectus and Proxy Statement; and (j) the receipt of certain closing deliverables.

On October 13, 2022, the Company and OceanTech mutually terminated the Merger Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(a) of the Merger Agreement, effective immediately. Neither party was required to pay the other a termination fee as a result of the mutual decision to terminate the Merger Agreement.

Liquidity and Going Concern

At September 30, 2022, we had cash of $28,840 and a working capital deficit of $1,242,769.

The Company’s liquidity needs up to September 30, 2022  were satisfied through the proceeds of $25,000 from the sale of the founder shares (Note 5), a loan of $263,039 under an unsecured and noninterest bearing promissory note – related party (Note 5), and from the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement held outside of the trust account (“Trust Account”) located in the United States at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee.

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, stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s Sponsor, officers and directors 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.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern, the Company has until December 2, 2022, to consummate an initial business combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate an initial business combination by this time. If an initial business combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Additionally, the Company may not have sufficient liquidity to fund the working capital needs of the Company through one year from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should an initial business combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after December 2, 2022. The Company’s sponsor, officers and directors 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.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management is currently evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the COVID-19 virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated 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 condensed consolidated financial statements. 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 condensed consolidated financial statements.

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax.

Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made that are necessary to present fairly the financial position, and the results of its operations and its cash flows.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section2(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 auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding

7

executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section102(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 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. 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 cash equivalents as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Trust Account

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $104.3 million ($10.10 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement was held in a trust account (“Trust Account”) located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), which will be invested only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, 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.

Upon closing of the offering of the Private warrants on June 2, 2022 (as described above) an additional $1.5 million (or $0.15 per Class A share subject to redemption) was placed in the trust account to provide for the Extension as described above.

Offering Costs

Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting and other costs incurred that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs are allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with warrant liabilities are expensed as incurred, presented as non-operating expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Offering costs associated with the issuance of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption were charged to temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Company classifies deferred underwriting commissions as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

In connection with the Extension payment on June 2, 2022, the Sponsor transferred 1,200,000 of previously issued Class B shares (the “Founder Shares”) to the investors who participated in the offering. The fair value of the Founder Shares was determined to be an offering cost in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A and 5T. Accordingly, the offering cost was be allocated to the only financial instruments issued, which were private placement warrants. Offering costs allocated to derivative warrant liabilities are expensed as incurred in the statement of operations.

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 balance sheets, primarily due to its short-term nature.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheets as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid to transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

● Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

● Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

● Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Stock

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net income (loss) per common stock is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the respective period.

The calculation of diluted net income (loss) does not consider the effect of the warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering and the private placement warrants to purchase an aggregate of 16,543,700 shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 14,994,800 shares for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and for the period from February 3, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021 of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share, because they are contingent on future events and their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. As a result, diluted net income (loss) per share is the same as basic net income (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and for the period from February 3, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s deferred tax asset had a full valuation allowance recorded against it. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and for the three moths ended September 30, 2021 and for the period from February 3, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021, due to changes in fair value in warrant liability, warrant issuance costs, and the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets

While ASC 740 identifies usage of an effective annual tax rate for purposes of an interim provision, it does allow for estimating individual elements in the current period if they are significant, unusual or infrequent. Computing the effective tax rate for the Company is complicated due to the potential impact of the timing of any Business Combination expenses and the actual interest income that will be recognized during the year. The Company has taken a position as to the calculation of income tax expense in a current period based on ASC 740-270-25-3 which states, “If an entity is unable to estimate a part of its ordinary income (or loss) or the related tax (benefit) but is otherwise able to make a reasonable estimate, the tax (or benefit) applicable to the item that cannot be estimated shall be reported in the interim period in which the item is reported.” The Company believes its calculation to be a reliable estimate and allows it to properly take into account the usual elements that can impact its annualized book income and its impact on the effective tax rate. As such, the Company is computing its taxable income (loss) and associated income tax provision based on actual results through September 30, 2022.

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position 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. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The

10

Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals, or material deviation from its position.

The Company has identified the United States as its only “major” tax jurisdiction. The Company is subject to income taxation by major taxing authorities since inception. These examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Redeemable Share Classification

All of the 10,326,000 Class A Common Stock sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation. In accordance with SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Given that the Class A Common Stock was issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., public warrants), the initial carrying value of Class A Common Stock classified as temporary equity is the allocated proceeds based on the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 470-20, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options.”

Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount, which approximates fair value. The change in the carrying value of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit and Class A common stock.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Class A Common Stock reflected on the balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

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 accounting for 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 effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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

Note 3 — Initial Public Offering

On June 2, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 10,000,000 Units. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A common stock”), and one redeemable warrant of the Company (“Warrant”), each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A common stock for  $11.50 per share. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $100,000,000.

On June 17, 2021, the underwriter partially exercised the over-allotment option and purchased an additional 326,000 Over-Allotment Units. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $3,260,000.

Note 4 — Private Placement

On June 2, 2021, simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Units, the Company consummated the Private Placement of an aggregate 4,571,000 Private Placement Warrants, of which 3,871,000 Private Placement Warrants were purchased by the Sponsor and 700,000 Private Placement Warrants were purchased by Maxim at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of $4,571,000.

On June 17, 2021, the underwriter partially exercised the over-allotment option and purchased an additional 326,000 Over-Allotment Units. Simultaneously with the closing of the exercise of the overallotment option, the Company consummated the Private Placement of an aggregate of 97,800 Private Placement Warrants, of which 74,980 Private Placement Warrants were purchased by the Sponsor and 22,820 Private Placement Warrants were purchased by Maxim at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $97,800.

On June 2, 2022, the Company closed an offering to private investors which included issuance of 1,548,900 Private Warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant.

The Private Placement Warrants (and the underlying securities) are identical to the public warrants sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering, except as otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. The issuance of the Private Placement Warrants was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Note 5 — Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

In February 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000 to cover certain offering costs in consideration for 2,875,000 Class B shares (the “Founder Shares”). The number of Founder Shares outstanding was determined based on the expectation that the total size of the Initial Public Offering would be a maximum of 11,500,000 Units if the underwriter’s over-allotment option is exercised in full, and therefore that such Founder Shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. Thus, up to 375,000 of the Founder Shares were subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriter’s over-allotment option was exercised. On June 21, 2021, the underwriter partially exercised its over-allotment option, purchasing an additional 326,000 Units. On June 21, 2021, the underwriter forfeited the right to purchase the remaining Units of the over-allotment option, and hence 293,500 founder shares of Class B common stock were subsequently forfeited, resulting in 2,581,500 outstanding Founder Shares.

Concurrently with the issuance of Private Warrants on June 2, 2022, the Sponsor committed to transfer 1,200,000 of Class B shares previously issued and outstanding as additional incentive to participants in the Extension Offering. The Company accounted for the Sponsor shares transferred to the participants in the Extension Offering at Fair Value as a charge directly to stockholder’s equity. The Company estimated the fair value of these shares to be $3,600,000 or $3 per share.

The Company’s initial stockholders agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (i) one year after the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination or (ii) the date on which the Company consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A common stock for cash, securities or other property. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the initial stockholders with respect to any Founder Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of the shares of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any  20 trading days within any 30- trading day period commencing 150 days after the initial Business Combination, the Founder Shares will no longer be subject to such transfer restrictions.

Promissory Note—Related Party

On February 14, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the Initial Public Offering. This loan is non-interest bearing, unsecured and was due at the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Sponsor has not demanded payment of the note through the date of this filing. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $323,039 and $163,039 were outstanding under the promissory note.

Related Party Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, the Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but is not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes an initial Business Combination, the Company would repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, such loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay such loaned amounts. Up to  $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into Private Placement 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 issued to the Sponsor. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no such Working Capital Loans were outstanding.

Administrative Support Agreement

The Company has agreed to pay our sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. The administrative support agreement began on the day the Company first listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market and continue monthly until the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or liquidation of the Company. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company owed $152,667 and $62,667 under the administrative support agreement, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred $30,000 and $90,000 in administrative support fees, respectively, and $41,667 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and for the period from February 3, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021.

Note 6 —Derivative Warrant Liabilities

As of both September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, there were 10,326,000 public warrants outstanding. As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021 there were 6,217,700 and 4,668,800 Private Placement Warrants outstanding, respectively.

Public Warrants

Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the 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 its affiliates, 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 initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates the initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described below under “Redemption of warrants” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

The warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. On the exercise of any warrant, the warrant exercise price will be paid directly to the Company and not placed in the Trust Account.

The Company has not registered the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants at this time. However, the Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common

13

stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, to cause such registration statement to become effective and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective within 90 days 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 the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A common stock is 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 security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, the Company will use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

Private Placement Warrants

The Private Placement Warrants and the underlying securities are identical to the public warrants sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering, except as otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. The issuance of the Private Placement Warrants was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants (except 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 (the “30-day redemption period”); and

● if, and only if, the last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, 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 the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

If the Company calls the warrants for redemption as described above, the 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,” the management will consider, among other factors, the cash position, the number of warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on the stockholders of issuing the maximum number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants. In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the Class A common stock for the 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 warrants.

Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2, and 3 are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period. During the period from February 3, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, the public warrants began trading separately on July 19, 2021 and thus were transferred from Level 3 to Level 1.

Level 1 assets include investments in money market funds and U.S. Treasury securities. The Company uses inputs such as actual trade data, benchmark yields, quoted market prices from dealers or brokers, and other similar sources to determine the fair value of its investments.

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s Warrant liability was valued at $1,532,455 and $7,098,366, respectively.Under the guidance in ASC 815-40 the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment. As such, the Warrants must be recorded on the balance sheets at fair value. This valuation is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each re-measurement, the valuations will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

15

The Company’s Warrant liability is based on a valuation model utilizing management judgment and pricing inputs from observable and unobservable markets with less volume and transaction frequency than active markets. Significant deviations from these estimates and inputs could result in a material change in fair value. The fair value of the public Warrant liability is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, as the public warrants are actively traded. The fair value of the private Warrant liability is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company utilized a binomial Monte-Carlo simulation to estimate the fair value of the public warrants at each reporting period for its warrants that are not actively traded.  Inherent in a Monte Carlo simulation are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its warrants based on implied volatility from the Company’s traded warrants and from historical volatility of select peer company’s common stock that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at zero.

The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a modified Black-Scholes model are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its warrants based on implied volatility from the Company’s traded warrants and from historical volatility of select peer company’s common stock that matches the expected remaining life of the Warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at zero.

The key inputs into the modified Black-Scholes model were as follows:

	June 2, 2022			September 30, 2022			December 31, 2021
Risk-free interest rate		2.89	%		3.97	%		1.29	%

Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or warrants issued upon conversion of the working capital loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed prior to or on the Effective Date of the Initial Public Offering, requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to shares of Class A common stock). The holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company registers such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Company’s completion of the initial Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriter Agreement

The underwriter had a 45-day option to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional Units to cover any over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On June 17, 2021, the underwriter partially exercised the over-allotment option and purchased an additional 326,000 Over-Allotment Units, generating an aggregate of gross proceeds of $3,260,000. On June 21, 2021, the underwriter forfeited the right to purchase the remaining 1,174,000 Units of the over-allotment option.

The underwriter was entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $2,065,200 in the aggregate (reflecting the partial exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option), paid at the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Additionally, $3,614,100 in the aggregate (reflecting the partial exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option), is payable to the underwriter for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes an initial Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Representative’s Class A Common Stock

The Company has issued to Maxim Group LLC and/or its designees, 103,260 shares of Class A common stock upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the partial exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment. Maxim has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such shares until the completion of the initial Business Combination. In addition, Maxim has agreed (i) to waive its redemption rights with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination and (ii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if we fail to complete the initial Business Combination within 12 months, or up to 18 months if the Company uses the one time option to extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination from the closing of the Initial Public Offering.

The shares have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following the commencement of sales of the offering pursuant to Rule 5110(e)(1) of FINRA’s Rules. Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1), these securities will not be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the Effective Date of the registration statement of which the prospectus forms a part, nor may they be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a period of 180 days immediately following the commencement of sales of the offering except as permitted by FINRA Rule 5110(e)(2).

Right of First Refusal

On May 27, 2021, subject to certain conditions, the Company granted Maxim, for a period beginning on the closing of the offering and ending 12 months after the date of the consummation of a business combination, a right of first refusal to act as lead left book-running managing underwriter with at least 75% of the economics; or, in the case of a three-handed deal 50% of the economics, for any and all future public and private equity, convertible and debt offerings for the Company or any of the Company’s successors or subsidiaries. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(6), such right of first refusal shall not have a duration of more than three years from the commencement of sales of the Initial Public Offering.

Merger Agreement

On August 10, 2022, the Company, OceanTech Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and OceanTech Acquisitions I Sponsors, LLC, the Company’s sponsor, entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger with Captura Biopharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation (and Michael Geranen, as seller representative. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon the closing of the Business Combination, the Parties will effect the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Target, with the Target continuing as the surviving entity, as a result of which all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Target shall be exchanged shares of the Class A Common Stock of the Company upon the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement.

On October 13, 2022, the Company and OceanTech mutually terminated the Merger Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(a) of the Merger Agreement, effective immediately. Neither party was required to pay the other a termination fee as a result of the mutual decision to terminate the Merger Agreement.

Amendment of Underwriting Agreement

On December 15, 2021, in order to resolve certain issues and concerns that have arisen between Maxim and the Company, both parties have agreed to amend the Underwriting Agreement as follows: (i) The Company and Maxim mutually agreed that the rights of first refusal be deleted and as if no further force and effect. As such, Maxim shall have no right of first refusal to act as an underwriter in any future financing event; (ii) As consideration for the waiver of the right of first refusal, if the Company consummates a Business Combination, the Company shall remit to Maxim a one-time cash payment of $2,000,000 at the closing of such Business Combination as a mergers and acquisition advisory fee; (iii) The Company and Maxim agreed that the over-allotment option has been limited to 326,000 Units and that the over-allotment option has terminated as of June 22, 2021; and (iv) The Company and Maxim agreed that the Company shall not be responsible for any additional reimbursements, out of pocket expenses, or disbursements of Maxim. For the sake of clarity, all right and obligations relating to underwriting fees (including but not limited to deferred underwriting commissions) shall not be amended or affected by this amendment. The $2,000,000 is recorded as other long-term liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Note 9 — Stockholders’ Deficit

Preferred Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Class A common stock— The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 103,260 shares of Class A common stock issued or outstanding, excluding 10,326,000 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption classified as temporary equity.

Class B common stock — The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Class B common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 2,581,500 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding. On June 17, 2021, the underwriter partially exercised the over-allotment option and purchased an additional 326,000 Units. On June 21, 2021, the underwriter forfeited the right to purchase the remaining Units of the over-allotment option, and hence 293,500 shares of Class B common stock were subsequently forfeited.

The Company’s initial stockholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (i) one year after the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination or (ii) the date on which the Company consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A common stock for cash, securities or other property. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the initial stockholders with respect to any Founder Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of the shares of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing 150 days after the initial Business Combination, the Founder Shares will no longer be subject to the Lock-up.

18

The shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of the initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in the prospectus and related to the closing of the initial Business Combination, the ratio at which shares of Class B common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering (not including the shares of Class A common stock issuable to Maxim) plus all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination or any private placement-equivalent units issued to the Sponsor, its affiliates or certain of the Company’s officers and directors upon conversion of Working Capital Loans made to the Company).

Holders of the Class A common stock and holders of the Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders, with each share of common stock entitling the holder to one vote.

Note 10 — Subsequent Events

On October 13, 2022, OceanTech and Captura entered into the Mutual Termination Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) pursuant to which OceanTech and Captura mutually agreed to terminate the Business Combination Agreement pursuant to Section8.1(a) thereof. Except as otherwise set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, none of the contracting parties thereto have any further liability thereunder. Neither party will be required to pay the other a termination fee as a result of the mutual decision to enter into the Termination Agreement. The termination of the Business Combination Agreement also terminates and makes void the Voting and Support Agreements (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) and the Purchaser Support Agreement (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), each of which were executed concurrently with the Business Combination Agreement.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on February 3, 2021, for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). We are an emerging growth company and, as such, are subject to all the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

Our sponsor is OceanTech Acquisitions I Sponsors LLC (the “Sponsor”), a Delaware limited liability company. The registration statement for the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”) was declared effective on May 27, 2021. On June 2, 2021, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 10,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units, the “Common Stock”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $100 million, and incurring offering costs (inclusive of the partial exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option on June 17, 2021) of approximately $7.4 million, inclusive of $2.1 million of underwriting discount and $3.6 million in deferred underwriting commissions. The underwriter was granted a 45-day option from the date of the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”) to cover over-allotments, if any, at $10.00 per Unit. On June 17, 2021, the underwriter partially exercised their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 326,000 Units, resulting in incremental gross proceeds of approximately $3.3 million. The underwriter waived its right to exercise the remaining over-allotment option on June 21, 2021.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 4,571,000 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”), of which 3,871,000 Private Placement Warrants were purchased by our Sponsor and 700,000 Private Placement Warrants were purchased by Maxim Group LLC (and/or its designees) (“Maxim”), each exercisable to purchase one share of Common Stock at $11.50 per share, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to us of $4.6 million.

In connection with the partial exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option, we sold an additional 97,800 Private Placement Warrants, of which 74,980 Private Placement Warrants were purchased by our Sponsor and 22,820 Private Placement Warrants were purchased by Maxim, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating additional gross proceeds of $0.1 million.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement (including the additional Units and additional Private Placement Warrants sold in connection with the partial exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option), $104,292,600 ($10.10 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement were placed in the Trust Account.

20

If we are unable to complete an initial Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or December 2, 2022, we 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 shares of Common Stock, 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 (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding shares of Common Stock, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

On June 2, 2022 the Company caused to be deposited $1,548,900 into the Company’s Trust account for its public stockholders, representing $0.15 per public share, allowing the Company to extend the period of time it has to consummate its initial business combination by six months from June 2, 2022, to December 2, 2022 (the “Extension”). The Extension is permitted under the Company’s governing documents. We identify a significant risk of liquidation of us as of December 2, 2022, deadline as per our prospectus to consummate a Business Combination.

On August 10, 2022, we, Merger Sub, and our Sponsor entered into a Merger Agreement with the Target and Geranen. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon the Closing of the Business Combination, we would effect the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Target, with the Target continuing as the surviving entity (the “Merger”), as a result of which all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Target would be exchanged for shares of the Class A Common Stock of the Company upon the terms set forth as follows: the Target’s shareholders collectively would be entitled to receive from the Company, in the aggregate, a number of Company’s securities with an aggregate value equal to (a) $200,000,000 minus (b) the amount, if any, by which the Target’s net working capital amount exceeds the net working capital amount (but not less than zero), minus (c) the amount of Closing Net Indebtedness (as defined in the Merger Agreement) minus (d) the amount of any transaction expenses, provided that the merger consideration otherwise payable to the Target’s shareholders is subject to adjustment after the Closing in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

The obligations of the parties to consummate the Business Combination was subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions of the respective parties, including, without limitation: (a) the representations and warranties of the respective Parties being true and correct subject to the materiality standards contained in the Merger Agreement; (b) material compliance by the Parties of their respective pre-closing covenants and agreements, subject to the standards contained in the Merger Agreement; (c) the approval by the Company’s stockholders of the Business Combination; (d) the approval by the Target’s stockholders of the Business Combination; (e) the absence of any Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement) with respect to the Company or with respect to the Target since the effective date of the Merger Agreement that is continuing and uncured; (f) the election of the members of the post-Closing Board consistent with the provisions of the Merger Agreement, a majority of which are to be independent in accordance with the Nasdaq rules; (g) the Company having at least $5,000,001 in tangible net assets upon the Closing; (h) the entry into certain ancillary agreements as of the Closing; (i) the lack of any notice or communication from, or position of, the SEC requiring the Company to amend or supplement the Prospectus and Proxy Statement; and (j) the receipt of certain closing deliverables.

On October 13, 2022, the Company and OceanTech mutually terminated the Merger Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(a) of the Merger Agreement, effective immediately. Neither party was required to pay the other a termination fee as a result of the mutual decision to terminate the Merger Agreement.

Liquidity and Going Concern

At September 30, 2022, we had cash of $28,840 and a working capital deficit of $1,242,769.

Our liquidity needs up to September 30, 2022 were satisfied through the proceeds of $25,000 from the sale of the Founder Shares (Note 5), a loan of $263,039 under an unsecured and noninterest bearing promissory note – related party (Note 5), and from the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement held outside of the trust account (“Trust Account”) located in the United States at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee.

As of September 30, 2022, we had cash in the Trust Account of $106 million. 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 deferred underwriting commissions) to complete its initial Business Combination. We may withdraw interest to pay taxes. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete its initial Business Combination.

21

Until the consummation of a Business Combination, we 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. We will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties. Our Sponsor, officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan our funds from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet our working capital needs. Accordingly, we may not be able to obtain additional financing. If we are 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.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern, the Company has until December 2, 2022, to consummate an initial business combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate an initial business combination by this time. If an initial business combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Additionally, the Company may not have sufficient liquidity to fund the working capital needs of the Company through one year from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should an initial business combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after December 2, 2022. The Company’s sponsor, officers and directors 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.

Results of Operations

Our entire activity since inception was in preparation for our 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 the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination, at the earliest.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we had net income of $4,088, largely driven by change in fair value of warrant liability of $308,445 and interest income of $354,619 offset by $658,976 in formation and operating costs.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had net income of $1,219,437, largely driven by change in fair value of warrant liability of $5,798,246 and interest income of $433,795 offset by $1,412,604 in formation and operating costs and $3,600,000 of Extension Offering costs allocated to warrants.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had net income of $6,437,547 from $1,303 in Interest income, $6,775,674 in Change in fair value of warrants, and 4$339,430 in formation and operating costs.

For the period from February 3, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021, we had net income of $5,680,368 from $6,775,674 in Change in fair value of warrants and $1,303 in Interest income, offset by $690,542 or offering costs allocated to warrants and $406,067 in formation and operating costs.

The holders of Founder Shares (as defined below), Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any (and any shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares), are entitled to certain registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. These holders will be entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriter was entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $2,065,200 in the aggregate (reflecting the partial exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option), paid at the closing of the Initial Public Offering. $3,614,100 in the aggregate (reflecting the partial exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option), will be payable to the underwriter for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete an initial Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies:

Offering Costs

Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting and other costs incurred that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs are allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with warrant liabilities are expensed as incurred, presented as non-operating expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Offering costs associated with the issuance of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption were charged to temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Company classifies deferred underwriting commissions as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

In connection with the Extension payment on June 2, 2022, the Sponsor transferred 1,200,000 of previously issued Class B shares (the “Founder Shares”) to the investors who participated in the offering. The fair value of the Founder Shares was determined to be an offering cost in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A and 5T. Accordingly, the offering cost was be allocated to the only financial instruments issued, which were private placement warrants. Offering costs allocated to derivative warrant liabilities are expensed as incurred in the statement of operations.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Stock

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net income (loss) per common stock is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the respective period.

The calculation of diluted net income (loss) does not consider the effect of the warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering and the private placement warrants to purchase an aggregate of 16,543,700 shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 14,994,800 shares for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and for the period from February 3, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021 of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share, because they are contingent on future events and their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. As a result, diluted net income (loss) per share is the same as basic net income (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and for the period from February 3, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

JOBS Act

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act are 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 a result, the condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

23

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, (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 condensed consolidated 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 the CEO’s 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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer (our “Certifying Officers”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2022, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that, as of September 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, which caused the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting regarding disclosures and complex financial instruments.

The restatements constitute a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.

Regarding the restatements in the September 30, 2021 amended quarterly financial statements, which included restatements of our June 30, 2021 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as the Balance Sheet audit reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K dated June 2, 2021, certain redemption provisions not solely within our control require the Class A common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. We had previously classified a portion of the Class A common stock in permanent equity. We restated our financial statements to classify all Class A common stock as temporary equity and any related impact, as the threshold in our charter would not change the nature of the underlying shares as redeemable and thus would be required to be disclosed outside of permanent equity. In connection with the change in presentation for the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption, the Company has restated its earnings per share calculation to allocate income and loss shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. This presentation contemplates a business combination as the most likely outcome, in which case, both classes of shares participate pro rata in the income and loss of the Company.

It is noted that the non-cash adjustments to the condensed consolidated financial statements do not impact the amounts previously reported for our cash and cash equivalents or total assets. In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

24

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended of September 30, 2022 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
