NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Coliseum Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on February 5, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses (a “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 September 30, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from February 5, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) as described below, and since the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of investment income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering and will recognize other income and expense related to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities.

The registration statement for the Initial Public Offering was declared effective on June 22, 2021. On June 25, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 15,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $150,000,000, which is discussed in Note 3. Each Unit consisted of one Public Share and one-third of one warrant to purchase one Class A ordinary share (“Public Warrant”). The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to 2,250,000 additional Units, which option expired unexercised on August 6, 2021. Transaction costs amounted to $9,176,463, consisting of $3,000,000 of underwriting fees, $5,625,000 of deferred underwriting fees, which was later entirely waived on June 12, 2023 (see Note 6), and $551,463 of other offering costs. The Company was reimbursed $750,000 by the underwriter for such transaction costs upon closing of the Initial Public Offering.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 3,225,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Coliseum Acquisition Sponsor LLC (the “Previous Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $4,837,500, which is described in Note 4.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on June 25, 2021, an amount of $150,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) to be invested only in U.S. government securities with maturities of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury bills, until the earlier of (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds held in the Trust Account, as described below. On June 27, 2023, the Company moved its Trust Account out of investment in securities and into an interest-bearing bank deposit account in order to mitigate the risk of being deemed an unregistered investment company.

The Company will provide the holders of its 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 general meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount held in the Trust Account (initially at $10.00 per share), calculated as of two business days prior to the completion of a Business Combination, including any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations. There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants. The Public Shares subject to redemption are recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”).

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required under applicable law or stock 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 amended and restated memorandum and articles of association as then in effect (the “Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Previous Sponsor, Berto LLC, an affiliate of Harry L. You (the “New Sponsor”), Harry L. You and the Company’s officers and the other holders of Founder Shares immediately prior to the Initial Public Offering (the “Initial Shareholders”) agreed to vote their Founder Shares and any Public Shares purchased in or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each public shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares without the Company’s prior written consent.

The Company initially had 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (or June 25, 2023) to complete a Business Combination, which was later extended as discussed below. The Initial Shareholders agreed to waive (i) their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by them (ii) their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide holders of Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with an initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity and (iii) their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares they hold if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the required period. However, if the Initial Shareholders acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below).

On June 15, 2023, the Company, the Previous Sponsor and the New Sponsor entered into an agreement, pursuant to which the Previous Sponsor agreed to sell to the New Sponsor, and the New Sponsor agreed to purchase from Previous Sponsor an aggregate of (i) 2,625,000 Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) held by the Previous Sponsor and (ii) 2,257,500 Private Placement Warrants held by the Previous Sponsor (the “Transfer Transaction”). The Transfer Transaction was consummated on June 26, 2023.

Additionally, on June 22, 2023, the shareholders approved an amendment of the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend (the “Extension”) the date by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination up to twelve (12) times for an additional one (1) month each time (each, an “Extension Period”) from June 25, 2023 up to June 25, 2024, only if the Previous Sponsor or its designee would deposit (the “Contribution”) into the Trust Account as a loan, an amount equal to the lesser of (x) $100,000 or (y) $0.04 per Public Share multiplied by the number of Public Shares that were not redeemed in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the Extension, for each month of the Extension Period elected by the Company’s board of directors. In connection with the shareholder approval of the Extension, an aggregate of 9,121,799 Public Shares were redeemed for an aggregate amount of $94,696,372.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

In connection with the Contribution and advances the New Sponsor may make in the future to the Company for working capital expenses, on June 22, 2023, the Company issued a convertible promissory note to the New Sponsor with a principal amount up to $1.5 million (the “Convertible Note”). The Convertible Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, or (b) the date of the Company’s liquidation. If the Company does not consummate an initial Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period, the Convertible Note will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven. Upon the consummation of the Company’s initial business Combination, the outstanding principal of the Convertible Note may be converted into warrants, at a price of $1.50 per warrant, at the option of the New Sponsor. Such warrants will have terms identical to the Private Placement Warrants.

Since June 25, 2023, the Company’s board of directors has elected to extend the Company’s liquidation date five times to November 25, 2023 (the “Combination Period”). Accordingly, the Company has drawn down from the Convertible Note and deposited $100,000 into the Trust Account for each of the Extensions, for an aggregate of $500,000.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 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 (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Previous Sponsor agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (1) $10.00 per Public Share or (2) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the Trust assets, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay the Company’s tax obligations, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriter of the Initial Public Offering 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 Previous 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 Previous Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Form 8-K filed on March 27, 2023, the Company received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) on March 21, 2023 indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(3), which requires the Company to have at least 300 public holders for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Minimum Public Holders Rule”). The Company submitted a plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule on June 26, 2023. Nasdaq approved the plan and granted the Company an extension until September 17, 2023 to demonstrate compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule (the “Compliance Period”). On September 20, 2023, the Company received written notice (the “Delisting Letter”) from Nasdaq stating that the Company has not regained compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule within the Compliance Period. The Company submitted an appeal to Nasdaq’s delisting determination by requesting a hearing before a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) on September 27, 2023, pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series. Such request automatically stayed the suspension of the Company’s securities pending the Panel’s decision. On November 8, 2023, the Company received written notice from Nasdaq that the Company is in compliance with all applicable continued listing standards.

Preliminary Proxy Statement

On November 1, 2023, the Company filed a preliminary proxy statement with the SEC seeking shareholder approval to (i) extend the date by which the Company must consummate a business combination and allow the Company, without another shareholder vote, to further extend the date by which the Company must consummate a business combination without requiring the Company to make any deposit into the Trust Account (the “New Extension”, and such proposal to approve the New Extension, the “Extension Amendment Proposal”), (ii) permit the Board, in its sole discretion, to elect to wind up the Company’s operations on an earlier date than the date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination (the “Liquidation Amendment Proposal”), (iii) re-elect Walter Skowronski and Harry L. You as Class I directors to serve for a term of three years or until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified, and (iv) allow the Company to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, or indefinitely, if necessary or convenient, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and Liquidation Amendment Proposal or if we determine that additional time is necessary to effectuate the New Extension.

Going Concern Consideration

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had no cash held outside of the Trust Account and working capital deficit of $1,228,446. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans.

In addition, in order to provide the Contribution and to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company issued a Convertible Note to the New Sponsor with a principal amount up to $1.5 million on June 22, 2023 as discussed above. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $400,000 outstanding under the Convertible Note. On October 25, 2023, the New Sponsor contributed another $100,000, for an aggregate outstanding amount of $500,000 under the Convertible Note, into the Trust Account.

In connection with the management’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 210-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern,” the Company’s management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern through the earlier of the liquidation date or the completion of the initial Business Combination. Management plans to address this uncertainty through a Business Combination as discussed above. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate a Business Combination will be successful or successful within the Combination Period (August 25, 2023). The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the 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 the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements and such 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 unaudited condensed 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 unaudited condensed financial statements.

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 (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on April 17, 2023. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or for any future periods.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. The Company has elected to implement the aforementioned exemptions.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s condensed 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 unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the 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. Accordingly, the actual results could differ from those estimates. The initial valuation of the Public Warrants (see Note 3) and the recurring valuation of the Private Placement Warrants required management to exercise significant judgment in its estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Cash and Investments Held in Trust Account

Until June 27, 2023, when the Company moved its trust account out of investment in securities and into an interest-bearing bank deposit account in order to mitigate the risk of being deemed an unregistered investment company, the Company’s portfolio of investments is comprised of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of money market funds, the investments are recognized at fair value. Trading securities and investments in money market funds are presented on the condensed balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities are included in interest income earned from cash and investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying condensed statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.

Public Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

All of the outstanding Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with a Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. In accordance with SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Therefore, the carrying value of all Public Shares have been classified outside of permanent equity.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of Public Shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of Public Shares are affected by charges against additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying value of Public Shares reflected in the unaudited condensed balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Public Shares subject to possible redemption as of December 31, 2022	$	152,348,535

Warrant Liabilities

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares, 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 reporting period-end date while the warrants are outstanding.

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and at each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the liability-classified warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the condensed statements of operations. The initial estimated fair value of the Public Warrants was measured using a Monte Carlo simulation approach. The initial and subsequent fair value estimates of the Private Placement Warrants is measured using a Modified Black-Scholes option pricing model (see Note 9).

Convertible Note Payable – Related parties

In connection with the Contribution and advances the New Sponsor may make in the future to the Company for working capital expenses, on June 22, 2023, the Company issued a Convertible Note to the New Sponsor with a principal amount up to $1.5 million (see Note 5). Upon the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, the outstanding principal of the Convertible Note may be converted into warrants, at a price of $1.50 per warrant, at the option of the New Sponsor. Such warrants will have terms identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $400,000 outstanding under the Convertible Note. On October 25, 2023, the Company borrowed another $100,000, for an aggregate outstanding amount of $500,000 under the Convertible Note. The option to convert the Convertible Note into warrants qualifies as an embedded derivative under ASC 815 and is required to be recognized at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in the Company’s condensed statements of operations each reporting period until the Convertible Note is repaid or converted. As of the funding date and September 30, 2023, the fair value of the embedded conversion option had a de minimis value.

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC Topic 340, Other Assets and Deferred Costs (“ASC 340”) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A - Expenses of Offering. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred that are related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs allocated to warrant liabilities were expensed as incurred, presented as non-operating expenses in the condensed statement of operations. Offering costs allocated to the Public Shares were charged against the carrying value of the Public Shares upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the condensed 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 carryforwards. 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.

COLISEUM ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s condensed 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 an interim period, disclosure and transition. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is considered an exempted Cayman Islands company 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 unaudited condensed financial statements.

Net Income Per Ordinary Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Net income per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Remeasurement associated with the Public Shares subject to redemption is excluded from net income per share as the redemption value approximates fair value. Therefore, the net income per share calculation allocates income shared pro rata between Public Shares and a combination of Class B and non-redeemable Class A ordinary shares. As a result, the calculated net income per ordinary share is the same for Public Shares and a combination of Class B non-redeemable and Class A ordinary shares. The Company has not considered the effect of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,225,000 shares in the calculation of diluted net income per share, since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As a result, diluted income per share is the same as basic income per share for the periods presented.

The following tables reflect the calculation of basic and diluted net income per ordinary share (in dollars, except per share amounts):

	For the three months ended September 30,

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on this account, and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company applies ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework. ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the Company’s principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820 generally requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions based on market data and the entity’s judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are to be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The carrying amounts reflected in the unaudited condensed balance sheets for cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

● Level 1 — Assets and liabilities with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges. Inputs to the fair value measurement are observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

● Level 2 — Inputs to the fair value measurement are determined using prices for recently traded assets and liabilities with similar underlying terms, as well as direct or indirect observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

● Level 3 — Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs, such as estimates, assumptions, and valuation techniques when little or no market data exists for the assets or liabilities.

See Note 9 for additional information on assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

Recent Accounting Standards

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

NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

In the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 15,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $150,000,000. Each Unit consisted of one Public Share and one-third of one Public Warrant. Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share (see Note 7). The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to 2,250,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments at the Initial Public Offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions, which the underwriter did not exercise and expired on August 6, 2021.

NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Previous Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 3,225,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant (for an aggregate purchase price of $4,837,500). Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share. The proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTIES TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On February 17, 2021, the Previous Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 to cover certain expenses on behalf of the Company in exchange for the issuance of 4,312,500 Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”). The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 562,500 Class B ordinary shares subject to forfeiture by the Previous Sponsor to the extent that the underwriter’s over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part, so that the Previous Sponsor would own, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. Upon the expiration of the over-allotment option on August 6, 2021, 562,500 Class B ordinary shares were forfeited, resulting in an aggregate of 3,750,000 Founder Shares outstanding.

A total of five anchor investors purchased 7,440,000 Units in the Initial Public Offering; with one anchor investor purchasing 2,235,000 Units, three anchor investors each purchasing 1,485,000 Units, and one anchor investor purchasing 750,000 Units. The anchor investors have not been granted any shareholder or other rights in addition to those afforded to the Company’s other Public Shareholders, other than a right of first refusal with respect to any private placement in connection with a Business Combination. Further, the anchor investors are not required to (i) hold any units, Public Shares or Public Warrants they purchased in the Initial Public Offering, or thereafter, for any amount of time, (ii) vote any Public Shares they may own at the applicable time in favor of the Business Combination or (iii) refrain from exercising their right to redeem their Public Shares at the time of the Business Combination. The anchor investors will have the same rights to the funds held in the Trust Account with respect to the Public Shares they purchased in the Initial Public Offering as the rights afforded to the Company’s other Public Shareholders.

Each anchor investor entered into separate anchor commitment letters with the Company and the Previous Sponsor pursuant to which each anchor investor purchased a specified amount of membership interests from the Previous Sponsor upon closing of the Initial Public Offering.

The Previous Sponsor will retain voting and dispositive power over the anchor investors’ portion of the Founder Shares held by the Previous Sponsor until the consummation of the initial Business Combination, following which time the Previous Sponsor will distribute such Founder Shares to the anchor investors (subject to applicable lock-up restrictions). The estimated fair value of the Founder Shares as of the execution of the anchor commitment letters was $5.38 per share, or $2,994,491 in the aggregate, which was $2,159,708 in excess of the amount paid by anchor investors for this interest.

On June 15, 2023, the Company, the Previous Sponsor and New Sponsor entered into an agreement, pursuant to which the Previous Sponsor agreed to sell to the New Sponsor, and the New Sponsor agreed to purchase from Previous Sponsor an aggregate of (i) 2,625,000 Founder Shares and (ii) 2,257,500 Private Placement Warrants held by the Previous Sponsor. The Transfer Transaction was consummated on June 26, 2023. Immediately prior to the closing of the Transfer Transaction, the Previous Sponsor elected to convert an aggregate of 3,749,999 Class B ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis into non-redeemable Class A ordinary shares, leaving one Class B ordinary share outstanding.

Administrative Services Agreement

The Company entered into an agreement, commencing on June 22, 2021, to pay an affiliate of the Previous Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for administrative, financial and support services. The Company accrued $70,000 in connection with such agreement and upon closing of the Transfer Transaction on June 26, 2023, the Previous Sponsor forgave the balance owed upon consummation of the Transfer Transaction. The forgiveness amount is recorded as additional paid in capital in the accompanying condensed balance sheets.

On July 25, 2023, the Company entered into a new administrative support agreement with the New Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay the New Sponsor or an affiliate of the New Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for administrative, financial and support services. Upon the completion of a Business Combination, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees.

The Company incurred $30,000 and $90,000 in connection to such agreements for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.  As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $30,000 and $10,000 in accounts payable and accrued expenses to related parties owed to the New and the Previous Sponsor, respectively, in the accompanying condensed balance sheets related to these agreements.

In connection with the Contribution and advances the New Sponsor may make in the future to the Company for working capital expenses, on June 22, 2023, the Company issued a Convertible Note to the New Sponsor with a principal amount up to $1.5 million. The Convertible Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, or (b) the date of the Company’s liquidation. If the Company does not consummate an initial Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period, the Convertible Note will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven. Upon the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, the outstanding principal of the Convertible Note may be converted into warrants, at a price of $1.50 per warrant, at the option of the New Sponsor. Such warrants will have terms identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $400,000 outstanding under the Convertible Note. On October 25, 2023, the New Sponsor contributed another $100,000, for an aggregate outstanding amount of $500,000 under the Convertible Note, into the Trust Account.

The option to convert the Convertible Note into warrants qualifies as an embedded derivative under ASC 815 and is required to be recognized at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in the Company’s statements of operations each reporting period until the Convertible Note is repaid or converted. As of the funding date and September 30, 2023, the fair value of the embedded conversion option had a de minimis value.

On October 25, 2023, the New Sponsor contributed another $100,000, for an aggregate outstanding amount of $500,000 under the Convertible Note, into the Trust Account.

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Registration Rights Agreement

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Convertible Note (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants issued upon conversion of the Convertible Note) are entitled to registration rights requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to Class A ordinary shares). The holders of these securities piggyback will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination 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.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to 2,250,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments at the Initial Public Offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions, which the underwriter did not exercise and which expired on August 6, 2021.

The underwriter was paid a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $3,000,000 in the aggregate, upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The underwriter paid $750,000 to the Company to reimburse certain of the Company’s expenses in connection with the Initial Public Offering. In addition, $0.375 per Unit, or $5,625,000 in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriter for deferred underwriting commissions (“Deferred Fee”). The Deferred Fee was to become payable to the underwriter 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.

Effective as of June 12, 2023, the underwriter of the Initial Public Offering resigned and withdrew from its role in any Business Combination and waived its entitlement to the Deferred Fee in the amount of $5,625,000. The Company recognized $5,349,375 of the Deferred Fee waiver as a reduction to the carrying value of Public Shares subject to redemption with the remaining balance of $275,625 recognized as a gain from extinguishment of liability allocated to warrant liabilities in the condensed statements of operations, which represents the original amount expensed in the Company’s Initial Public Offering.

NOTE 7. WARRANTS

Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination and (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Public Warrants will expire five years from the completion of a Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of a Public Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Public Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available, including in connection with a cashless exercise permitted as a result of a notice of redemption. No Public 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 Public 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 agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) business days, after the closing of a Business Combination, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the issuance of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within sixty (60) business days after the closing of a Business Combination and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the Public Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is not effective by the sixtieth (60th) business day after the closing of a Business Combination, Public 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 (other than any such period as may be necessary in connection with the preparation and filing of a post-effective amendment to any registration statement following the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its first completed fiscal year following the consummation of a Business Combination), exercise Public Warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if Class A 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, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their Public 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 commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

Redemption of Public Warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00 - Once the Public Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants:

● in whole and not in part;

● at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant;

● upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each Public Warrant holder; and

● if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary shares 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 Public Warrant holders (the “Reference Value”) equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, rights issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like).

The Company will not redeem the Public Warrants as described above unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares is available throughout the 30-day redemption period. If and when the Public Warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if the Company is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

Redemption of Public Warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00 - Once Public Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants:

● in whole and not in part;

● at $0.10 per Public Warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares determined by reference based on the redemption date and the fair market value of the Class A ordinary shares, subject to certain exceptions;

17

COLISEUM ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

● if, and only if, the Reference Value equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, rights issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like); and

● if the Reference Value is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, rights issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like), the Private Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants, as described above.

The fair market value of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares shall mean the volume weighted average price of the Class A ordinary shares during 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 Public Warrants. The Company will provide its Public Warrant holders with the final fair market value no later than the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of Public Warrants. In no event will the Public Warrants be exercisable in connection with this redemption feature for more than 0.361 Class A ordinary shares per Public Warrant (subject to adjustment).

In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of a Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Previous Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Previous Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of a Business Combination on the date of the completion of a Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates a Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the Public 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, the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described above under “— Redemption of Public Warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00” and “— Redemption of Public Warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $10.00 per share redemption trigger price described above under “— Redemption of Public Warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the Previous Sponsor or its permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the Previous Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 5,000,000 Public Warrants and 3,225,000 Private Placement Warrants outstanding. The Company accounts for the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815. Such guidance provides that because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant must be recorded as a liability.

The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments required that the Company record the warrants as derivative liabilities at fair value upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Public Warrants were allocated a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the Units equal to their fair value. The warrant liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement, the warrant liabilities are adjusted to current fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company’s unaudited condensed statements of operations. The Company will reassess the classification at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the warrants will be reclassified as of the date of the event that causes the reclassification. Refer to Note 9 for additional information on the fair value measurements of these warrants.

NOTE 8. SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

Preferred shares — The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 preferred shares with a par value of $0.001 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. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no preferred shares issued or outstanding.

Class A ordinary shares — The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 Class A ordinary shares with a par value of $0.001 per share. As of December 31, 2022, there were 15,000,000 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding, all of which were subject to possible redemption and were classified outside of permanent equity in the condensed balance sheets (see Note 2). On June 22, 2023, 9,121,799 Public Shares were redeemed. On June 26, 2023, the Previous Sponsor elected to convert an aggregate of 3,749,999 Class B ordinary shares on a one for one basis into non-redeemable Class A ordinary shares. As of September 30, 2023, there were a total of 9,628,200 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding, of which 5,878,201 shares were subject to possible redemption and were classified outside of permanent equity in the condensed balance sheets and 3,749,999 shares were non-redeemable and classified in shareholders’ deficit.

Class B ordinary shares — The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of $0.001 per share. Upon the expiration of the over-allotment option on August 6, 2021, 562,500 Class B ordinary shares were forfeited, resulting in an aggregate of 3,750,000 Founder Shares outstanding. On June 26, 2023, the Previous Sponsor elected to convert an aggregate of 3,749,999 Class B ordinary shares on a one for one basis into Class A ordinary shares, leaving one Class B ordinary share outstanding. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 1 and 3,750,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding, respectively.

Class A ordinary shareholders and Class B ordinary shareholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by shareholders and vote together as a single class, except as required by law; provided, that, prior to a Business Combination, holders of the Class B ordinary shares will have the right to appoint all of the Company’s directors and remove members of the board of directors for any reason, and holders of the Class A ordinary shares will not be entitled to vote on the appointment of directors during such time.

The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of a Business Combination, or earlier at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for share sub-divisions, share dividends, rights issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts issued in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of a Business Combination, the ratio at which the Class B ordinary shares will convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares agree to waive such anti-dilution adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B ordinary shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of all ordinary shares issued and outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering plus all Class A ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination, excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination.

The following tables present information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Liabilities:
Warrant liability – Public Warrants	$	200,000	$	—	$	—
Warrant liability – Private Placement Warrants	$	—	$	—	$	129,000

(1)As of December 31, 2022, the cost basis of the money market instruments held in Trust Account was $151,739,777 and as of September 30, 2023, all investments held in Trust Account reside in demand deposit account.

The Company initially utilized a Monte Carlo simulation model for the initial valuation of the Public Warrants. The subsequent measurement of the Public Warrants as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 is classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market under the ticker MITAW. The quoted price of the Public Warrants was $0.12 and $0.04 per warrant as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

The Company utilizes a Modified Black-Scholes method to value the Private Placement Warrants at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in the Company’s unaudited condensed statements of operations. The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants are determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a binomial options pricing 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 ordinary shares based on historical volatility 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 date of valuation 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 to remain at zero.

Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2, and 3 are recognized at the end of the reporting periods. The estimated fair value of the Public Warrants transferred from a Level 3 measurement to a Level 1 fair value measurement after the Public Warrants were separately listed and traded in August 2021. As of September 30, 2023, the fair value measurement for Public Warrants was transferred to Level 2 measurement due to low trading volume.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized gains in connection with changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities of $0 and $6,036,500 within change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities in the Company’s condensed statements of operations, respectively.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated on February 5, 2021, as a Cayman Islands exempted company and formed for the purpose of effectuating a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination, involving one or more businesses, which we refer to throughout this Report as our “initial business combination”. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of our initial public offering and the private placement of the private placement warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”), the proceeds of the sale of our shares in connection with our initial business combination (pursuant to forward purchase agreements or backstop agreements we may enter into following the consummation of the initial public offering or otherwise), shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, or a combination of the foregoing.

Recent Developments

We received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) on March 21, 2023 indicating that we were not in compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(3), which requires us to have at least 300 public holders for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Minimum Public Holders Rule”). We submitted a plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule on June 26, 2023. Nasdaq approved the plan and granted us an extension until September 17, 2023 to demonstrate compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule (the “Compliance Period”). On September 20, 2023, we received written notice (the “Delisting Letter”) from Nasdaq stating that the we have not regained compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule within the Compliance Period. We submitted an appeal to Nasdaq’s delisting determination by requesting a hearing before a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) on September 27, 2023, pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series. Such request automatically stayed the suspension of our securities pending the Panel’s decision. On November 8, 2023, we received written notice from Nasdaq that we are in compliance with all applicable continued listing standards.

22

On June 22, 2023, we issued a convertible promissory note to our New Sponsor with a principal amount up to $1.5 million (the “Convertible Note”). The Convertible Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of our initial business combination, or (b) the date of our liquidation. If we do not consummate an initial business combination by the end of the Combination Period, the Convertible Note will be repaid only from funds held outside of the trust account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven. Upon the consummation of the initial business combination, the outstanding principal of the Convertible Note may be converted into warrants, at a price of $1.50 per warrant, at the option of our New Sponsor. Such warrants will have terms identical to the private placement warrants issued in the private placement concurrently with our initial public offering.

On June 22, 2023, our shareholders approved an amendment of our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend (the “Extension”) the date by which we have to consummate a Business Combination up to twelve (12) times for an additional one (1) month each time from June 25, 2023 up to June 25, 2024, only if the Previous Sponsor or its designee would deposit (the “Contribution”) into the Trust Account as a loan, an amount equal to the lesser of (x) $100,000 or (y) $0.04 per Public Share multiplied by the number of Public Shares that were not redeemed in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the Extension, for each month of the Extension Period elected by the Company’s board of directors.

Since June 25, 2023, our board of directors has elected to extend our liquidation date five times to November 25, 2023 (the “Combination Period”). Accordingly, we have drawn down from the Convertible Note and deposited $100,000 into the trust account (the “Trust Account”) for each of the Extensions, for an aggregate of $500,000.

On November 1, 2023, we filed a preliminary proxy statement with the SEC seeking shareholder approval to (i) extend the date by which we must consummate a business combination and allow us, without another shareholder vote, to further extend the date by which we must consummate a business combination without requiring us to make any deposit into the Trust Account (the “New Extension”, and such proposal to approve the New Extension, the “Extension Amendment Proposal”), (ii) permit the Board, in its sole discretion, to elect to wind up our operations on an earlier date than the date by which we must consummate a Business Combination (the “Liquidation Amendment Proposal”), (iii) re-elect Walter Skowronski and Harry L. You as Class I directors to serve for a term of three years or until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified, and (iv) allow us to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, or indefinitely, if necessary or convenient, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and Liquidation Amendment Proposal or if we determine that additional time is necessary to effectuate the New Extension.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenues to date. Our only activities for the period from February 5, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2023 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the initial public offering described below and, after the initial public offering, identifying a target company for a business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial business combination. We will generate non-operating income in the form of investment income on cash, cash equivalents and investments held after our initial public offering and will recognize other income and expense related to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we had net income of $632,719, which resulted from interest income earned from cash and investments held in the trust account in the amount of $759,910, and change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $246,750, and partially offset by general and administrative expenses of $373,941.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we had net income of $2,692,821, which resulted from interest income earned from cash and investments held in the trust account in the amount of $4,288,824, and a gain from extinguishment of deferred underwriting fees allocated to warrant liabilities of $275,625, partially offset by a loss on the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $658,000 and general and administrative expenses of $839,687.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we had net income of $329,695, which resulted from an unrealized gain on investments held in the trust account (the “Trust Account”) in the amount of $740,251, partially offset by operating and formation costs of $410,556.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had net income of $6,013,402, which resulted from a gain on the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $6,036,500 and an unrealized gain on investments held in the trust account in the amount of $987,618, partially offset by operating and formation costs of $1,010,716.

Going Concern Consideration

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash used in operating activities was $273,922, which was due to non-cash adjustments to net income related to a gain on investments held in the trust account of $4,288,824, and a gain from extinguishment of deferred underwriting fees allocated to warrant liabilities of $275,625, partially offset by net income of $2,692,821 and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $939,705, the non-cash adjustments to net income related to change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $658,000.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $496,247, which was due to non-cash adjustments to net income related to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $6,036,500 and an unrealized gain on investments held in the Trust Account of $987,618, partially offset by net income of $6,013,402 and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $514,469.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had no cash held outside of the trust account and a working capital deficit of $1,228,446. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans.

In addition, in order to provide the Contribution and to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, we issued a Convertible Note to the New Sponsor with a principal amount up to $1.5 million on June 22, 2023 as discussed above. As of September 30, 2023, we had $400,000 outstanding under the Convertible Note. On October 25, 2023, our New Sponsor contributed another $100,000, for an aggregate outstanding amount of $500,000 under the Convertible Note, into the trust account.

In connection with the management’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 210-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern,” our management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a business combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern through the earlier of the liquidation date or the completion of the initial business combination. We plan to address this uncertainty through a consummating a business combination. There is no assurance that our plans to consummate a business combination will be successful or successful within the Combination Period (August 25, 2023). The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Contractual Obligations

Registration Rights

The holders of the Class B ordinary shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (as defined in Note 5 of the condensed financial statements provided herewith) (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) will have registration rights to require us to register a sale of any of its securities held by them pursuant to a registration 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. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

We granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to 2,250,000 additional units to cover over-allotments at the initial public offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions, which the underwriter did not exercise and expired on August 6, 2021.

24

The underwriter was paid a cash underwriting fee of $0.20 per unit, or $3,000,000 in the aggregate. In addition, $0.375 per unit, or $5,625,000 in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriter for deferred underwriting commissions (“Deferred Fee”). The Deferred Fee was to 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.

Effective as of June 12, 2023, the underwriter of our initial public offering resigned and withdrew from its role in any business combination and waived its entitlement to the Deferred Fee in the amount of $5,625,000. We recognized $5,349,375 of the Deferred Fee waiver as a reduction to the carrying value of Public Shares subject to redemption with the remaining balance of $275,625 recognized as a gain from extinguishment of liability allocated to warrant liabilities in the statements of operations, which represents the original amount expensed in our initial public offering.

Convertible Promissory Note – Related Parties

In connection with the Contribution and advances our New Sponsor may make in the future to us for working capital expenses, on June 22, 2023, we issued a Convertible Note to our New Sponsor with a principal amount up to $1.5 million. The Convertible Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of our initial business combination, or (b) the date of our liquidation. If we do not consummate an initial Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period, the Convertible Note will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven. Upon the consummation of our initial business combination, the outstanding principal of the Convertible Note may be converted into warrants, at a price of $1.50 per warrant, at the option of our New Sponsor. Such warrants will have terms identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of September 30, 2023, we had $400,000 outstanding under the Convertible Note. On October 25, 2023, our New Sponsor contributed another $100,000, for an aggregate outstanding amount of $500,000 under the Convertible Note, into the Trust Account.

The option to convert the Convertible Note into warrants qualifies as an embedded derivative under ASC 815 and is required to be recognized at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in our statements of operations each reporting period until the Convertible Note is repaid or converted. As of the funding date and September 30, 2023, the fair value of the embedded conversion option had a de minimis value.

On October 25, 2023, our New Sponsor contributed another $100,000, for an aggregate outstanding amount of $500,000 under the Convertible Note, into the Trust Account.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of 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 condensed financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:

Warrant Liabilities

We account for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in accordance with ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to our ordinary shares, 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 warrants are outstanding.

25

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and at each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. The initial estimated fair value of the warrants issued in our initial public offering (the “Public Warrants”) was measured using a Monte Carlo simulation approach. The initial and subsequent fair value estimates of the Private Placement Warrants is measured using a Modified Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Public Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Public Shares issued in our initial public offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with our liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the business combination and in connection with certain amendments to our second 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, redemption provisions not solely within our control require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Therefore, the carrying value of all Public Shares have been classified outside of permanent equity.

We recognize changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable Public Shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit.

Net Income Per Ordinary Share

We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net income per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Remeasurement associated with the Class A ordinary shares is excluded from net income per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Therefore, the net income per share calculation allocates income shared pro rata between Public Shares and a combination of Class B and non-redeemable Class A ordinary shares. As a result, the calculated net income per ordinary share is the same for Public Shares and a combination of Class B and non-redeemable Class A ordinary shares. We have not considered the effect of the outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,225,000 shares in the calculation of diluted net income per share, since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As a result, diluted income per share is the same as basic income per share for the periods presented.

Recent Accounting Standards

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

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

This item is not applicable as we are a smaller reporting company.

ITEM 4. DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

26

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2023. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

27

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There is no material litigation, arbitration or governmental proceeding currently pending against us or any members of our management team.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Report are any of the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on April 17, 2023 (the “Annual Report”). Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. As of the date of this Report, except as described below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the Annual Report. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

The Company’s ability to complete an initial business combination with a U.S. target company may be impacted if such initial business combination is subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations and review by a U.S. government entity, such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”), and ultimately prohibited.

Certain indirect holders of a minority interest in the Founder Shares are non-U.S. persons. We cannot predict at this time whether the Company would be considered a “foreign person” under the regulations administered by CFIUS due to such potential ties to non-U.S. persons. As such, an initial business combination with a U.S. business may be subject to CFIUS jurisdiction, the scope of which includes controlling investments (within the meaning of “control” under the CFIUS regulations) as well as certain non-passive, non-controlling investments in sensitive U.S. businesses meeting certain criteria. If the Company’s potential initial business combination with a U.S. business falls within CFIUS’s jurisdiction, the parties may determine that they are required to make a mandatory filing or that they will submit a voluntary filing to CFIUS, or to proceed with the initial business combination without notifying CFIUS and risk CFIUS intervention, before or after closing the initial business combination. CFIUS may decide to delay the initial business combination, impose conditions to mitigate national security concerns with respect to such initial business combination or recommend that the U.S. president block the initial business combination or order the Company to divest all or a portion of a U.S. business of the combined company, which may limit the attractiveness of or prevent the Company from pursuing certain initial business combination opportunities that it believes would otherwise be beneficial to the Company and its shareholders. As a result, the pool of potential targets with which the Company could complete an initial business combination may be impacted.

Moreover, the process of government review, whether by the CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy and the Company has limited time to complete its initial business combination. If the Company cannot complete its initial business combination by June 25, 2024, or such later date that may be approved by the Company’s shareholders, because the review process extends beyond such timeframe or because the initial business combination is ultimately prohibited by CFIUS or another U.S. government entity, the Company may be required to liquidate.

Changes in laws or regulations or in how such laws or regulations are interpreted or applied, or a failure to comply with any laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, may adversely affect our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business combination.

We are subject to laws and regulations enacted by national, regional and local governments. In particular, we will be required to comply with certain SEC and other legal requirements. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws and regulations may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time and those changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, investments and results of operations. In addition, a failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business combination and results of operations.

28

On March 30, 2022, the SEC issued proposed rules (the “SPAC Rule Proposals”) relating to, among other items, disclosures in business combination transactions involving special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) and private operating companies; the financial statement requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies; the use of projections in SEC filings in connection with proposed business combination transactions; the potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combination transactions; and the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). These rules, if adopted, whether in the form proposed or in a revised form, may increase the costs of and the time needed to negotiate and complete an initial business combination, and may constrain the circumstances under which we could complete an initial business combination.

If we are deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we would be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities would be severely restricted. As a result, in such circumstances, unless we are able to modify our activities so that we would not be deemed an investment company, we would expect to abandon our efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead liquidate the Company.

As described further above, the SPAC Rule Proposals relate to, among other matters, the circumstances in which SPACs such as the Company could potentially be subject to the Investment Company Act and the regulations thereunder. The SPAC Rule Proposals would provide a safe harbor for such companies from the definition of “investment company” under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act, provided that a SPAC satisfies certain criteria, including a limited time period to announce and complete a de-SPAC transaction. Specifically, to comply with the safe harbor, the SPAC Rule Proposals would require a company to file a report on Form 8-K announcing that it has entered into an agreement with a target company for a business combination no later than 18 months after the effective date of its registration statement for its initial public offering (the “IPO Registration Statement”). The company would then be required to complete its initial business combination no later than 24 months after the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement.

Because the SPAC Rule Proposals have not yet been adopted, there is currently uncertainty concerning the applicability of the Investment Company Act to a SPAC, including a company like ours that has not entered into a definitive agreement within 18 months after the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement.

If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, our activities would be severely restricted. In addition, we would be subject to burdensome compliance requirements. We do not believe that our principal activities will subject us to regulation as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. However, if we are deemed to be an investment company and subject to compliance with and regulation under the Investment Company Act, we would be subject to additional regulatory burdens and expenses for which we have not allotted funds. As a result, unless we are able to modify our activities so that we would not be deemed an investment company, we would expect to abandon our efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead liquidate the Company.

To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, on June 27, we instructed the trustee to liquidate the securities held in the Trust Account and instead hold the funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing bank deposit account until the earlier of the consummation of our initial business combination or our liquidation. As a result, following the liquidation of securities in the Trust Account, we will receive minimal interest, on the funds held in the Trust Account, which will reduce the dollar amount our public shareholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.

The funds in the Trust Account were, since our initial public offering, previously held only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. government treasury obligations and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. However, to mitigate the risk of us being deemed to be an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act) and thus subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, on June 27, 2023, we instructed the trustee to liquidate the securities held in the Trust Account and instead hold the funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing bank deposit account until the earlier of the consummation of our initial business combination or our liquidation. Following such liquidation, we will receive minimal interest on the funds held in the Trust Account. However, interest previously earned on the funds held in the Trust Account still may be released to us to pay our taxes, if any, and certain other expenses as permitted. As a result, the decision to liquidate the securities held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing bank deposit account will reduce the dollar amount our public shareholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.

29

A new 1% U.S. federal excise tax could be imposed on us in connection with redemptions by us of our ordinary shares.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “Inflation Reduction Act”) was signed into federal law. The Inflation Reduction Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by “covered corporations” (which include 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. Treasury has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax.

We are currently not a covered corporation for purposes of the excise tax. If we were to become a covered corporation in the future, whether in connection with the consummation of our business combination with a U.S. company (including if we were to redomicile as a U.S. corporation in connection therewith) or otherwise, whether and to what extent we would be subject to the excise tax on a redemption of our stock 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 the business combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with the business combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with the business combination but issued within the same taxable year of the business combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the U.S. Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by us and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. If we were to become a covered corporation in the future, the per-share redemption amount payable from the Trust Account (including any interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account) to our public stockholders in connection with a redemption of our stock is not expected to be reduced by any excise tax imposed on us. The imposition of the excise tax on us could, however, cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete our business combination and may affect our ability to complete our business combination or fund future operations.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On June 25, 2021, we consummated the initial public offering of 15,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $150,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, we consummated the sale of 3,225,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to Coliseum Acquisition Sponsor LLC, generating gross proceeds of $4,837,500.

Transaction costs amounted to $9,176,463 consisting of $3,000,000 of underwriting fees, $5,625,000 of deferred underwriting fees, and $551,463 of other offering costs. We were reimbursed $750,000 by the underwriter for such transaction costs.

Following the closing of the initial public offering on June 25, 2021, an amount of $150,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the initial public offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in the Trust Account.

On June 12, 2023, we received a formal letter from our underwriter in the initial public offering advising that it had waived any entitlement it may have to the deferred fee of $5,625,000.

DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Coliseum Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on February 5, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses (a “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 September 30, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from February 5, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) as described below, and since the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of investment income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering and will recognize other income and expense related to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities.

The registration statement for the Initial Public Offering was declared effective on June 22, 2021. On June 25, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 15,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $150,000,000, which is discussed in Note 3. Each Unit consisted of one Public Share and one-third of one warrant to purchase one Class A ordinary share (“Public Warrant”). The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to 2,250,000 additional Units, which option expired unexercised on August 6, 2021. Transaction costs amounted to $9,176,463, consisting of $3,000,000 of underwriting fees, $5,625,000 of deferred underwriting fees, which was later entirely waived on June 12, 2023 (see Note 6), and $551,463 of other offering costs. The Company was reimbursed $750,000 by the underwriter for such transaction costs upon closing of the Initial Public Offering.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 3,225,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Coliseum Acquisition Sponsor LLC (the “Previous Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $4,837,500, which is described in Note 4.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on June 25, 2021, an amount of $150,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) to be invested only in U.S. government securities with maturities of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury bills, until the earlier of (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds held in the Trust Account, as described below. On June 27, 2023, the Company moved its Trust Account out of investment in securities and into an interest-bearing bank deposit account in order to mitigate the risk of being deemed an unregistered investment company.

The Company will provide the holders of its 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 general meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount held in the Trust Account (initially at $10.00 per share), calculated as of two business days prior to the completion of a Business Combination, including any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations. There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants. The Public Shares subject to redemption are recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”).

The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required under applicable law or stock 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 amended and restated memorandum and articles of association as then in effect (the “Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Previous Sponsor, Berto LLC, an affiliate of Harry L. You (the “New Sponsor”), Harry L. You and the Company’s officers and the other holders of Founder Shares immediately prior to the Initial Public Offering (the “Initial Shareholders”) agreed to vote their Founder Shares and any Public Shares purchased in or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each public shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares without the Company’s prior written consent.

The Company initially had 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (or June 25, 2023) to complete a Business Combination, which was later extended as discussed below. The Initial Shareholders agreed to waive (i) their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by them (ii) their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide holders of Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with an initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity and (iii) their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares they hold if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the required period. However, if the Initial Shareholders acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below).

On June 15, 2023, the Company, the Previous Sponsor and the New Sponsor entered into an agreement, pursuant to which the Previous Sponsor agreed to sell to the New Sponsor, and the New Sponsor agreed to purchase from Previous Sponsor an aggregate of (i) 2,625,000 Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) held by the Previous Sponsor and (ii) 2,257,500 Private Placement Warrants held by the Previous Sponsor (the “Transfer Transaction”). The Transfer Transaction was consummated on June 26, 2023.

Additionally, on June 22, 2023, the shareholders approved an amendment of the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend (the “Extension”) the date by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination up to twelve (12) times for an additional one (1) month each time (each, an “Extension Period”) from June 25, 2023 up to June 25, 2024, only if the Previous Sponsor or its designee would deposit (the “Contribution”) into the Trust Account as a loan, an amount equal to the lesser of (x) $100,000 or (y) $0.04 per Public Share multiplied by the number of Public Shares that were not redeemed in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the Extension, for each month of the Extension Period elected by the Company’s board of directors. In connection with the shareholder approval of the Extension, an aggregate of 9,121,799 Public Shares were redeemed for an aggregate amount of $94,696,372.

In connection with the Contribution and advances the New Sponsor may make in the future to the Company for working capital expenses, on June 22, 2023, the Company issued a convertible promissory note to the New Sponsor with a principal amount up to $1.5 million (the “Convertible Note”). The Convertible Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, or (b) the date of the Company’s liquidation. If the Company does not consummate an initial Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period, the Convertible Note will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven. Upon the consummation of the Company’s initial business Combination, the outstanding principal of the Convertible Note may be converted into warrants, at a price of $1.50 per warrant, at the option of the New Sponsor. Such warrants will have terms identical to the Private Placement Warrants.

Since June 25, 2023, the Company’s board of directors has elected to extend the Company’s liquidation date five times to November 25, 2023 (the “Combination Period”). Accordingly, the Company has drawn down from the Convertible Note and deposited $100,000 into the Trust Account for each of the Extensions, for an aggregate of $500,000.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 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 (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Previous Sponsor agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (1) $10.00 per Public Share or (2) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the Trust assets, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay the Company’s tax obligations, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriter of the Initial Public Offering 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 Previous 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 Previous Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Form 8-K filed on March 27, 2023, the Company received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) on March 21, 2023 indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(3), which requires the Company to have at least 300 public holders for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Minimum Public Holders Rule”). The Company submitted a plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule on June 26, 2023. Nasdaq approved the plan and granted the Company an extension until September 17, 2023 to demonstrate compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule (the “Compliance Period”). On September 20, 2023, the Company received written notice (the “Delisting Letter”) from Nasdaq stating that the Company has not regained compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule within the Compliance Period. The Company submitted an appeal to Nasdaq’s delisting determination by requesting a hearing before a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) on September 27, 2023, pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series. Such request automatically stayed the suspension of the Company’s securities pending the Panel’s decision. On November 8, 2023, the Company received written notice from Nasdaq that the Company is in compliance with all applicable continued listing standards.

Preliminary Proxy Statement

On November 1, 2023, the Company filed a preliminary proxy statement with the SEC seeking shareholder approval to (i) extend the date by which the Company must consummate a business combination and allow the Company, without another shareholder vote, to further extend the date by which the Company must consummate a business combination without requiring the Company to make any deposit into the Trust Account (the “New Extension”, and such proposal to approve the New Extension, the “Extension Amendment Proposal”), (ii) permit the Board, in its sole discretion, to elect to wind up the Company’s operations on an earlier date than the date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination (the “Liquidation Amendment Proposal”), (iii) re-elect Walter Skowronski and Harry L. You as Class I directors to serve for a term of three years or until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified, and (iv) allow the Company to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, or indefinitely, if necessary or convenient, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and Liquidation Amendment Proposal or if we determine that additional time is necessary to effectuate the New Extension.

Going Concern Consideration

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had no cash held outside of the Trust Account and working capital deficit of $1,228,446. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans.

In addition, in order to provide the Contribution and to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company issued a Convertible Note to the New Sponsor with a principal amount up to $1.5 million on June 22, 2023 as discussed above. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $400,000 outstanding under the Convertible Note. On October 25, 2023, the New Sponsor contributed another $100,000, for an aggregate outstanding amount of $500,000 under the Convertible Note, into the Trust Account.

In connection with the management’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 210-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern,” the Company’s management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern through the earlier of the liquidation date or the completion of the initial Business Combination. Management plans to address this uncertainty through a Business Combination as discussed above. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate a Business Combination will be successful or successful within the Combination Period (August 25, 2023). The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the 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 the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements and such 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 unaudited condensed 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 unaudited condensed financial statements.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on April 17, 2023. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or for any future periods.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. The Company has elected to implement the aforementioned exemptions.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s condensed 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 unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the 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. Accordingly, the actual results could differ from those estimates. The initial valuation of the Public Warrants (see Note 3) and the recurring valuation of the Private Placement Warrants required management to exercise significant judgment in its estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Cash and Investments Held in Trust Account

Until June 27, 2023, when the Company moved its trust account out of investment in securities and into an interest-bearing bank deposit account in order to mitigate the risk of being deemed an unregistered investment company, the Company’s portfolio of investments is comprised of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of money market funds, the investments are recognized at fair value. Trading securities and investments in money market funds are presented on the condensed balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities are included in interest income earned from cash and investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying condensed statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.

Public Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

All of the outstanding Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with a Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. In accordance with SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Therefore, the carrying value of all Public Shares have been classified outside of permanent equity.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of Public Shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of Public Shares are affected by charges against additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying value of Public Shares reflected in the unaudited condensed balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Public Shares subject to possible redemption as of December 31, 2022	$	152,348,535
Plus:
Remeasurement of carrying value to redemption value		1,721,897
Public Shares subject to possible redemption - March 31, 2023		154,070,432
Plus:
Waiver of Public Shares issuance costs		5,349,375
Increase in redemption value of Public Shares subject to redemption due to extension		100,000

Remeasurement of carrying value to redemption value		(3,542,358)
Public Shares subject to possible redemption - June 30, 2023		61,281,077
Plus:
Increase in redemption value of Public Shares subject to redemption due to extension		300,000
Remeasurement of carrying value to redemption value		759,910
Public Shares subject to possible redemption - September 30, 2023	$	62,340,987

Warrant Liabilities

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares, 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 reporting period-end date while the warrants are outstanding.

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and at each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the liability-classified warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the condensed statements of operations. The initial estimated fair value of the Public Warrants was measured using a Monte Carlo simulation approach. The initial and subsequent fair value estimates of the Private Placement Warrants is measured using a Modified Black-Scholes option pricing model (see Note 9).

Convertible Note Payable – Related parties

In connection with the Contribution and advances the New Sponsor may make in the future to the Company for working capital expenses, on June 22, 2023, the Company issued a Convertible Note to the New Sponsor with a principal amount up to $1.5 million (see Note 5). Upon the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, the outstanding principal of the Convertible Note may be converted into warrants, at a price of $1.50 per warrant, at the option of the New Sponsor. Such warrants will have terms identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $400,000 outstanding under the Convertible Note. On October 25, 2023, the Company borrowed another $100,000, for an aggregate outstanding amount of $500,000 under the Convertible Note. The option to convert the Convertible Note into warrants qualifies as an embedded derivative under ASC 815 and is required to be recognized at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in the Company’s condensed statements of operations each reporting period until the Convertible Note is repaid or converted. As of the funding date and September 30, 2023, the fair value of the embedded conversion option had a de minimis value.

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC Topic 340, Other Assets and Deferred Costs (“ASC 340”) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A - Expenses of Offering. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred that are related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs allocated to warrant liabilities were expensed as incurred, presented as non-operating expenses in the condensed statement of operations. Offering costs allocated to the Public Shares were charged against the carrying value of the Public Shares upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the condensed 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 carryforwards. 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.

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s condensed 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 an interim period, disclosure and transition. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is considered an exempted Cayman Islands company 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 unaudited condensed financial statements.

Net Income Per Ordinary Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Net income per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Remeasurement associated with the Public Shares subject to redemption is excluded from net income per share as the redemption value approximates fair value. Therefore, the net income per share calculation allocates income shared pro rata between Public Shares and a combination of Class B and non-redeemable Class A ordinary shares. As a result, the calculated net income per ordinary share is the same for Public Shares and a combination of Class B non-redeemable and Class A ordinary shares. The Company has not considered the effect of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,225,000 shares in the calculation of diluted net income per share, since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As a result, diluted income per share is the same as basic income per share for the periods presented.

The following tables reflect the calculation of basic and diluted net income per ordinary share (in dollars, except per share amounts):

	For the three months ended September 30,
	2023				2022
			Class B and non-				Class B and non-
	Public Shares		redeemable Class A		Public Shares		redeemable Class A

Basic and diluted net income per ordinary share	$	0.18	$	0.18	$	0.32	$	0.32

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on this account, and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company applies ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework. ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the Company’s principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820 generally requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions based on market data and the entity’s judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are to be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The carrying amounts reflected in the unaudited condensed balance sheets for cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

● Level 1 — Assets and liabilities with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges. Inputs to the fair value measurement are observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

● Level 2 — Inputs to the fair value measurement are determined using prices for recently traded assets and liabilities with similar underlying terms, as well as direct or indirect observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

● Level 3 — Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs, such as estimates, assumptions, and valuation techniques when little or no market data exists for the assets or liabilities.

See Note 9 for additional information on assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

Recent Accounting Standards

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

In the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 15,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $150,000,000. Each Unit consisted of one Public Share and one-third of one Public Warrant. Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share (see Note 7). The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to 2,250,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments at the Initial Public Offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions, which the underwriter did not exercise and expired on August 6, 2021.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Previous Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 3,225,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant (for an aggregate purchase price of $4,837,500). Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share. The proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

Founder Shares

On February 17, 2021, the Previous Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 to cover certain expenses on behalf of the Company in exchange for the issuance of 4,312,500 Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”). The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 562,500 Class B ordinary shares subject to forfeiture by the Previous Sponsor to the extent that the underwriter’s over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part, so that the Previous Sponsor would own, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. Upon the expiration of the over-allotment option on August 6, 2021, 562,500 Class B ordinary shares were forfeited, resulting in an aggregate of 3,750,000 Founder Shares outstanding.

A total of five anchor investors purchased 7,440,000 Units in the Initial Public Offering; with one anchor investor purchasing 2,235,000 Units, three anchor investors each purchasing 1,485,000 Units, and one anchor investor purchasing 750,000 Units. The anchor investors have not been granted any shareholder or other rights in addition to those afforded to the Company’s other Public Shareholders, other than a right of first refusal with respect to any private placement in connection with a Business Combination. Further, the anchor investors are not required to (i) hold any units, Public Shares or Public Warrants they purchased in the Initial Public Offering, or thereafter, for any amount of time, (ii) vote any Public Shares they may own at the applicable time in favor of the Business Combination or (iii) refrain from exercising their right to redeem their Public Shares at the time of the Business Combination. The anchor investors will have the same rights to the funds held in the Trust Account with respect to the Public Shares they purchased in the Initial Public Offering as the rights afforded to the Company’s other Public Shareholders.

Each anchor investor entered into separate anchor commitment letters with the Company and the Previous Sponsor pursuant to which each anchor investor purchased a specified amount of membership interests from the Previous Sponsor upon closing of the Initial Public Offering.

The Previous Sponsor will retain voting and dispositive power over the anchor investors’ portion of the Founder Shares held by the Previous Sponsor until the consummation of the initial Business Combination, following which time the Previous Sponsor will distribute such Founder Shares to the anchor investors (subject to applicable lock-up restrictions). The estimated fair value of the Founder Shares as of the execution of the anchor commitment letters was $5.38 per share, or $2,994,491 in the aggregate, which was $2,159,708 in excess of the amount paid by anchor investors for this interest.

On June 15, 2023, the Company, the Previous Sponsor and New Sponsor entered into an agreement, pursuant to which the Previous Sponsor agreed to sell to the New Sponsor, and the New Sponsor agreed to purchase from Previous Sponsor an aggregate of (i) 2,625,000 Founder Shares and (ii) 2,257,500 Private Placement Warrants held by the Previous Sponsor. The Transfer Transaction was consummated on June 26, 2023. Immediately prior to the closing of the Transfer Transaction, the Previous Sponsor elected to convert an aggregate of 3,749,999 Class B ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis into non-redeemable Class A ordinary shares, leaving one Class B ordinary share outstanding.

The Initial Shareholders agreed that, subject to certain limited exceptions, the Founder Shares (including 3,749,999 non-redeemable Class A ordinary shares and one Class B ordinary shares) will not be transferred, assigned, or sold until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination or (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds (i) $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, rights issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after a Business Combination or (ii) $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, rights issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 75 days after a Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the public shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.

Administrative Services Agreement

The Company entered into an agreement, commencing on June 22, 2021, to pay an affiliate of the Previous Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for administrative, financial and support services. The Company accrued $70,000 in connection with such agreement and upon closing of the Transfer Transaction on June 26, 2023, the Previous Sponsor forgave the balance owed upon consummation of the Transfer Transaction. The forgiveness amount is recorded as additional paid in capital in the accompanying condensed balance sheets.

On July 25, 2023, the Company entered into a new administrative support agreement with the New Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay the New Sponsor or an affiliate of the New Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for administrative, financial and support services. Upon the completion of a Business Combination, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees.

The Company incurred $30,000 and $90,000 in connection to such agreements for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.  As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $30,000 and $10,000 in accounts payable and accrued expenses to related parties owed to the New and the Previous Sponsor, respectively, in the accompanying condensed balance sheets related to these agreements.

Related parties Loans and Advances

Advances

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had advanced an aggregate of $2,058 to the Previous Sponsor. In April 2023, the Previous Sponsor advanced $50,000 to the Company for working capital needs. In June 2023, the Company repaid the remaining balance off $9,114 to the Previous Sponsor and the Previous Sponsor forgave $38,828 in remaining net owed to it. The forgiveness amount is recorded as additional paid in capital in the accompanying condensed balance sheet.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the New Sponsor advanced an aggregate of $445,689 to the Company for working capital needs.  Subsequent to September 30, 2023, the New Sponsor advanced an additional of $[  ] to the Company.

Convertible Promissory Note

In connection with the Contribution and advances the New Sponsor may make in the future to the Company for working capital expenses, on June 22, 2023, the Company issued a Convertible Note to the New Sponsor with a principal amount up to $1.5 million. The Convertible Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, or (b) the date of the Company’s liquidation. If the Company does not consummate an initial Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period, the Convertible Note will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven. Upon the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, the outstanding principal of the Convertible Note may be converted into warrants, at a price of $1.50 per warrant, at the option of the New Sponsor. Such warrants will have terms identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $400,000 outstanding under the Convertible Note. On October 25, 2023, the New Sponsor contributed another $100,000, for an aggregate outstanding amount of $500,000 under the Convertible Note, into the Trust Account.

The option to convert the Convertible Note into warrants qualifies as an embedded derivative under ASC 815 and is required to be recognized at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in the Company’s statements of operations each reporting period until the Convertible Note is repaid or converted. As of the funding date and September 30, 2023, the fair value of the embedded conversion option had a de minimis value.

On October 25, 2023, the New Sponsor contributed another $100,000, for an aggregate outstanding amount of $500,000 under the Convertible Note, into the Trust Account.

Registration Rights Agreement

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Convertible Note (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants issued upon conversion of the Convertible Note) are entitled to registration rights requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to Class A ordinary shares). The holders of these securities piggyback will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination 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.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to 2,250,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments at the Initial Public Offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions, which the underwriter did not exercise and which expired on August 6, 2021.

The underwriter was paid a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $3,000,000 in the aggregate, upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The underwriter paid $750,000 to the Company to reimburse certain of the Company’s expenses in connection with the Initial Public Offering. In addition, $0.375 per Unit, or $5,625,000 in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriter for deferred underwriting commissions (“Deferred Fee”). The Deferred Fee was to become payable to the underwriter 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.

Effective as of June 12, 2023, the underwriter of the Initial Public Offering resigned and withdrew from its role in any Business Combination and waived its entitlement to the Deferred Fee in the amount of $5,625,000. The Company recognized $5,349,375 of the Deferred Fee waiver as a reduction to the carrying value of Public Shares subject to redemption with the remaining balance of $275,625 recognized as a gain from extinguishment of liability allocated to warrant liabilities in the condensed statements of operations, which represents the original amount expensed in the Company’s Initial Public Offering.

WARRANTS

NOTE 7. WARRANTS

Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination and (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Public Warrants will expire five years from the completion of a Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of a Public Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Public Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available, including in connection with a cashless exercise permitted as a result of a notice of redemption. No Public 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 Public 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 agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) business days, after the closing of a Business Combination, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the issuance of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within sixty (60) business days after the closing of a Business Combination and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the Public Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is not effective by the sixtieth (60th) business day after the closing of a Business Combination, Public 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 (other than any such period as may be necessary in connection with the preparation and filing of a post-effective amendment to any registration statement following the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its first completed fiscal year following the consummation of a Business Combination), exercise Public Warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if Class A 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, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their Public 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 commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

Redemption of Public Warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00 - Once the Public Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants:

● in whole and not in part;

● at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant;

● upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each Public Warrant holder; and

● if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary shares 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 Public Warrant holders (the “Reference Value”) equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, rights issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like).

The Company will not redeem the Public Warrants as described above unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares is available throughout the 30-day redemption period. If and when the Public Warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if the Company is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

Redemption of Public Warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00 - Once Public Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants:

● in whole and not in part;

● at $0.10 per Public Warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares determined by reference based on the redemption date and the fair market value of the Class A ordinary shares, subject to certain exceptions;

● if, and only if, the Reference Value equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, rights issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like); and

● if the Reference Value is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, rights issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like), the Private Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants, as described above.

The fair market value of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares shall mean the volume weighted average price of the Class A ordinary shares during 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 Public Warrants. The Company will provide its Public Warrant holders with the final fair market value no later than the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of Public Warrants. In no event will the Public Warrants be exercisable in connection with this redemption feature for more than 0.361 Class A ordinary shares per Public Warrant (subject to adjustment).

In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of a Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Previous Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Previous Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of a Business Combination on the date of the completion of a Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates a Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the Public 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, the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described above under “— Redemption of Public Warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00” and “— Redemption of Public Warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $10.00 per share redemption trigger price described above under “— Redemption of Public Warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the Previous Sponsor or its permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the Previous Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 5,000,000 Public Warrants and 3,225,000 Private Placement Warrants outstanding. The Company accounts for the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815. Such guidance provides that because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant must be recorded as a liability.

The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments required that the Company record the warrants as derivative liabilities at fair value upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Public Warrants were allocated a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the Units equal to their fair value. The warrant liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement, the warrant liabilities are adjusted to current fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company’s unaudited condensed statements of operations. The Company will reassess the classification at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the warrants will be reclassified as of the date of the event that causes the reclassification. Refer to Note 9 for additional information on the fair value measurements of these warrants.

Preferred shares — The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 preferred shares with a par value of $0.001 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. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no preferred shares issued or outstanding.

Class A ordinary shares — The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 Class A ordinary shares with a par value of $0.001 per share. As of December 31, 2022, there were 15,000,000 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding, all of which were subject to possible redemption and were classified outside of permanent equity in the condensed balance sheets (see Note 2). On June 22, 2023, 9,121,799 Public Shares were redeemed. On June 26, 2023, the Previous Sponsor elected to convert an aggregate of 3,749,999 Class B ordinary shares on a one for one basis into non-redeemable Class A ordinary shares. As of September 30, 2023, there were a total of 9,628,200 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding, of which 5,878,201 shares were subject to possible redemption and were classified outside of permanent equity in the condensed balance sheets and 3,749,999 shares were non-redeemable and classified in shareholders’ deficit.

Class B ordinary shares — The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of $0.001 per share. Upon the expiration of the over-allotment option on August 6, 2021, 562,500 Class B ordinary shares were forfeited, resulting in an aggregate of 3,750,000 Founder Shares outstanding. On June 26, 2023, the Previous Sponsor elected to convert an aggregate of 3,749,999 Class B ordinary shares on a one for one basis into Class A ordinary shares, leaving one Class B ordinary share outstanding. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 1 and 3,750,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding, respectively.

Class A ordinary shareholders and Class B ordinary shareholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by shareholders and vote together as a single class, except as required by law; provided, that, prior to a Business Combination, holders of the Class B ordinary shares will have the right to appoint all of the Company’s directors and remove members of the board of directors for any reason, and holders of the Class A ordinary shares will not be entitled to vote on the appointment of directors during such time.

The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of a Business Combination, or earlier at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for share sub-divisions, share dividends, rights issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts issued in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of a Business Combination, the ratio at which the Class B ordinary shares will convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares agree to waive such anti-dilution adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B ordinary shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of all ordinary shares issued and outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering plus all Class A ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination, excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination.

The following tables present information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

September 30, 2023

	Quoted Prices in Active		Significant Other Observable		Significant Other
	Markets		Inputs		Unobservable Inputs
Description	(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)

Liabilities:
Warrant liability – Public Warrants	$	200,000	$	—	$	—
Warrant liability – Private Placement Warrants	$	—	$	—	$	129,000

(1)As of December 31, 2022, the cost basis of the money market instruments held in Trust Account was $151,739,777 and as of September 30, 2023, all investments held in Trust Account reside in demand deposit account.

The Company initially utilized a Monte Carlo simulation model for the initial valuation of the Public Warrants. The subsequent measurement of the Public Warrants as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 is classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market under the ticker MITAW. The quoted price of the Public Warrants was $0.12 and $0.04 per warrant as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

The Company utilizes a Modified Black-Scholes method to value the Private Placement Warrants at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in the Company’s unaudited condensed statements of operations. The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants are determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a binomial options pricing 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 ordinary shares based on historical volatility 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 date of valuation 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 to remain at zero.

Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2, and 3 are recognized at the end of the reporting periods. The estimated fair value of the Public Warrants transferred from a Level 3 measurement to a Level 1 fair value measurement after the Public Warrants were separately listed and traded in August 2021. As of September 30, 2023, the fair value measurement for Public Warrants was transferred to Level 2 measurement due to low trading volume.

The following table provides the significant inputs to the Modified Black-Scholes method for the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants:

	As of September 30,			As of December 31,
	2023			2022
Stock price	$	11.50		$	10.04
Exercise price	$	10.64		$	11.50
Expected term (in years)		5.74			5.48
Volatility		5.2	%		0.5	%
Risk-free rate		4.5	%		3.98	%
Fair value of warrants	$	0.12			0.04

*The probability of completing a Business Combination is considered within the volatility implied by the traded price of the Public Warrants which is used to value the Private Placement Warrants.

The following table presents the changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial instruments that are measured at fair value:

Balance as of December 31, 2022 - Level 3	$	129,000
Change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities - Private Warrants		225,750
Balance as of March 31, 2023 - Level 3		354,750
Change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities - Private Warrants		129,000
Balance as of June 30, 2023 - Level 3		483,750
Change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities - Private Warrants		(96,750)
Balance as of September 30, 2023 - Level 3	$	387,000

The Company recognized gain (loss) in connection with changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities of $246,750 and $(658,000) within change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities in the Company’s condensed statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized gains in connection with changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities of $0 and $6,036,500 within change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities in the Company’s condensed statements of operations, respectively.

Emerging Growth Company

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. The Company has elected to implement the aforementioned exemptions.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s condensed financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

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

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the 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. Accordingly, the actual results could differ from those estimates. The initial valuation of the Public Warrants (see Note 3) and the recurring valuation of the Private Placement Warrants required management to exercise significant judgment in its estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Cash and Investments Held in Trust Account

Cash and Investments Held in Trust Account

Until June 27, 2023, when the Company moved its trust account out of investment in securities and into an interest-bearing bank deposit account in order to mitigate the risk of being deemed an unregistered investment company, the Company’s portfolio of investments is comprised of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of money market funds, the investments are recognized at fair value. Trading securities and investments in money market funds are presented on the condensed balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities are included in interest income earned from cash and investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying condensed statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.

Public Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

Public Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

All of the outstanding Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with a Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. In accordance with SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Therefore, the carrying value of all Public Shares have been classified outside of permanent equity.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of Public Shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of Public Shares are affected by charges against additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying value of Public Shares reflected in the unaudited condensed balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Public Shares subject to possible redemption as of December 31, 2022	$	152,348,535

Remeasurement of carrying value to redemption value		759,910
Public Shares subject to possible redemption - September 30, 2023	$	62,340,987

Warrant Liabilities

Warrant Liabilities

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares, 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 reporting period-end date while the warrants are outstanding.

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and at each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the liability-classified warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the condensed statements of operations. The initial estimated fair value of the Public Warrants was measured using a Monte Carlo simulation approach. The initial and subsequent fair value estimates of the Private Placement Warrants is measured using a Modified Black-Scholes option pricing model (see Note 9).

Convertible Note Payable - Related parties

Convertible Note Payable – Related parties

In connection with the Contribution and advances the New Sponsor may make in the future to the Company for working capital expenses, on June 22, 2023, the Company issued a Convertible Note to the New Sponsor with a principal amount up to $1.5 million (see Note 5). Upon the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, the outstanding principal of the Convertible Note may be converted into warrants, at a price of $1.50 per warrant, at the option of the New Sponsor. Such warrants will have terms identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $400,000 outstanding under the Convertible Note. On October 25, 2023, the Company borrowed another $100,000, for an aggregate outstanding amount of $500,000 under the Convertible Note. The option to convert the Convertible Note into warrants qualifies as an embedded derivative under ASC 815 and is required to be recognized at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in the Company’s condensed statements of operations each reporting period until the Convertible Note is repaid or converted. As of the funding date and September 30, 2023, the fair value of the embedded conversion option had a de minimis value.

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC Topic 340, Other Assets and Deferred Costs (“ASC 340”) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A - Expenses of Offering. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred that are related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs allocated to warrant liabilities were expensed as incurred, presented as non-operating expenses in the condensed statement of operations. Offering costs allocated to the Public Shares were charged against the carrying value of the Public Shares upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the condensed 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 carryforwards. 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.

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s condensed 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 an interim period, disclosure and transition. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is considered an exempted Cayman Islands company 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 unaudited condensed financial statements.

Net Income Per Ordinary Share

Net Income Per Ordinary Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Net income per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Remeasurement associated with the Public Shares subject to redemption is excluded from net income per share as the redemption value approximates fair value. Therefore, the net income per share calculation allocates income shared pro rata between Public Shares and a combination of Class B and non-redeemable Class A ordinary shares. As a result, the calculated net income per ordinary share is the same for Public Shares and a combination of Class B non-redeemable and Class A ordinary shares. The Company has not considered the effect of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,225,000 shares in the calculation of diluted net income per share, since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As a result, diluted income per share is the same as basic income per share for the periods presented.

The following tables reflect the calculation of basic and diluted net income per ordinary share (in dollars, except per share amounts):

	For the three months ended September 30,

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on this account, and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company applies ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework. ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the Company’s principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820 generally requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions based on market data and the entity’s judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are to be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The carrying amounts reflected in the unaudited condensed balance sheets for cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

● Level 1 — Assets and liabilities with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges. Inputs to the fair value measurement are observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

● Level 2 — Inputs to the fair value measurement are determined using prices for recently traded assets and liabilities with similar underlying terms, as well as direct or indirect observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

● Level 3 — Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs, such as estimates, assumptions, and valuation techniques when little or no market data exists for the assets or liabilities.

See Note 9 for additional information on assets and liabilities measured at fair value.
